The weather in October is cold and warm, the snow quickly melts, and the ground is revealing a russet ground again.

Yan Ti was ordered by Fang Li, and left Chiyang with a letter for help and Li Ji to embark on a journey south to the Chu State, and soon entered the territory of the State of Yu after crossing the Yellow River from Fengling.

I don't know if the Kingdom of Yu is afraid of the forces of the Jin Kingdom, worried about getting into trouble, or thinking of the old relationship between Yu Yu, Yan Ti led his troops all the way, from north to south, and it was safe and sound.

But Yan Ti knew that now was not the time to relax, and the real test was the Shen State in front, although the territory of this country was not large, but the territory was full of thieves. These thieves won't care about you Chu and Jin, as long as they smell the fishy smell, they will inevitably move when they smell the wind.

"I've left the country of Yu and entered the territory of the country of Shen, everyone should be in good spirits, be careful!"

Yan raised his gun to open the way, and loudly reminded the three hundred soldiers behind him to strengthen their precautions and be careful of bandits.

When Li Ji in the carriage heard this, her brows were furrowed, she was worried, and she couldn't help but pick up the curtain and ask: "General Yan, didn't your general repair a letter to the Duke of Chu and ask the Chu State to pass on the princes from all walks of life to ensure my safety along the way?" ”

Li Ji can accept to change from a concubine of the Jin State to a concubine of the Chu State, but she can't accept the lady of the village who is a thief, and she knows that it is better to beg Ji Zhai to keep her by her side, so that she may be able to find an opportunity to escape back to the Jin Kingdom. If you are really captured by the bandits to the mountain, your life will be over!

After listening to Li Ji's words, Yan Ti smiled bitterly: "Hehe...... Mrs. Li Ji, not to mention that the text of the Duke of Chu has not been sent to various countries, and even if it is delivered, it will not be useful. These thieves don't care about you Chu Gong and Jin Gong, as long as they have the opportunity, they will rob them! ”

"God bless, don't meet thieves!" Li Ji was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she folded her hands and asked for more blessings.

Shen is a medium-sized country, the area is equivalent to the state of Qiu, the territory is located around the city of Nanyang Wancheng, because of the territory of many mountains and rivers, so the population is far less than the state of Qiu, the whole territory of only 500,000 people.

The land is vast and sparsely populated, the mountains are continuous, the national strength is weak, and various reasons are superimposed, making the Shen State an ideal paradise for thieves from all walks of life, so many strongmen from Chu, Zhao, Han, Qin and other countries flocked to the Shen State to establish mountains, recruit minions, rob houses, and harm one party.

Yan Ti's biggest concern along the way is not the country of Qiu, nor South Korea, but the country of Shen, which is full of thieves. Because all the princes have concerns about doing things, but the thieves do not think about the consequences, as long as it is profitable, they will come to the wind.

The team walked thirty miles, the sky was late, the sun was sinking in the west, Yan Ti found a village along the way to prepare to camp and settle down, and then set off after dawn to set off south.

Suddenly, there was a loud killing sound in the south, Yan Ti hurriedly looked at the gun, only to see a group of people and horses swarming over, seeing that the scale was about four or five hundred people, and hurriedly beckoned the team to prepare for battle, "Soldiers, prepare to fight!" ”

After a while, the bandits approached the village, and the leader of the group was full of pockmarks, ugly appearance, burly, holding a mountain axe, and shouted loudly: "I heard that you are escorting the women of Ji Weizhu, and those who know each other will leave people behind, otherwise Hugh blames the king for my ruthless axe!" ”

Yan Ti urged the horse forward, hugged the gun and greeted: "This brother, Mrs. Li Ji has a noble status, and it is definitely not something you can provoke." We waited for the order of the general to escort her to the state of Chu, and I hope to borrow a road, and I am willing to give three hundred copper coins to thank you! ”

"Whew!"

The pockmark leader spat a mouthful of saliva and scolded, "If I catch Li Ji, I can at least ask for a ransom of 180,000 yuan from Wei Zhu, and you can fool an ancestor with 300 copper coins?" When I'm Zhang Mazi a pig? Brothers, give me a hand to rob people! ”

"Kill, rob women!"

With Zhang Mazi's order, more than 400 bandits swarmed with knives and guns, and rushed straight to the village where Yu Jun had settled.

"Soldiers, fight!"

Although the enemy is outnumbered, these bandits are just a rabble after all, and the soldiers of Yu are all regular soldiers, with armor and knives and guns in hand, but they are not afraid of these bandits.

Soon the killing sound was loud, and the two teams quickly became entangled together, and Yan Yan slapped the horse and danced the gun, and stabbed more than ten bandits in a row. The other soldiers refused to lag behind, everyone fought bravely, and in a short time, they cut down more than 100 bandits, and their own side only suffered more than 10 casualties.

"The wind is tight, pull it!"

Zhang Mazi saw that the situation was not good, turned the horse and left, and did not forget to leave cruel words when fleeing for his life, "You people who have lost the country have listened to me, tonight's tent will never give up, and I Zhang Mazi will definitely ask my eldest brother to help me get justice!" ”

The battle ended, the bandits retreated, a false alarm, and the soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Nearly 100 households in the village closed their doors and closed their windows for fear of being affected. Yan Ti did not bother the people, and ordered to find an open place at the entrance of the village and set up camp, and then continue to hurry after dawn.

The next day, when the sky was bright, Yan Ti Fang led his troops to embark on the journey, urging the team to speed up all the way, and strive to get out of the country as soon as possible, and it was relatively safe after entering the territory of South Korea.

At noon, a loud horn suddenly sounded on the hillside in front of them, drums sounded loudly on both sides of the road, and nearly a thousand bandits swarmed out of the cols in the bushes and surrounded Yan Ti and his party.

"Big brother, kill these people who have lost the country for me, and avenge the brothers!" Zhang Mazi urged the horse to carry the axe, followed closely by a big man.

I saw that this person was nine feet tall, with tiger eyes and an eagle nose, a fierce appearance, and a tattoo of the word "thief" on his left cheek with a seal script, which looked like a fierce god.

In his hand, he carried a phoenix-tailed gilded bor, and rode a five-flowered horse under his crotch, standing among the robbers like a tiger standing a wolf pack, which attracted people's attention.

Seeing the bandit leader's dress, Yan Ti couldn't help but gasp: "Hiss...... Could it be that this person is the legendary number one bandit of the Shen Kingdom? ”

Without waiting for Yan to ask, Zhang Mazi reported the name of the gangster: "Huh...... General Yu widened his eyes and looked at it, this big brother Yingbu, the king of the mountains on both sides of the Yellow River, who knew each other, quickly dismounted and was bound, and he could leave you with a whole corpse! ”

Yan Ti stubbornly urged the horse forward, hugged the gun and saluted: "In Xiayu country, the general Yan Ti, I have heard the name of King Yingbu for a long time, and I only hate not having the opportunity to know Jing!" This time, the Jin army invaded our country, the royal city fell, and the general of my Yu State Fang Li captured Li Ji by luck, and was ready to dedicate him to the Duke of Chu. I hope that the king will raise his noble hand and let him go! ”

Yingbu laughed loudly, like a bell: "Haha...... Pull the big flag as a tiger skin, if I don't let it go, what can you do? ”

"Although our Yu Kingdom is weak, if we provoke the Duke of Chu, we will not give up easily!" Yan Ti argued hard, hoping to use the state of Chu to bluff Yingbu.

Yingbu let out a loud laugh again: "Haha...... Do you know who gave the words on my face? I'm telling you, it's the state of Chu! Therefore, Yingbu vowed to make the Chu State an enemy in his lifetime! Brothers, give me a hand to rob someone! ”

With Yingbu's order, nearly a thousand bandits let out a cry in unison and swarmed up, "Put down your weapons, and those who surrender will not die!" ”

Yan Ti was angry and anxious, urging the horse to dance the gun, fighting hard, and loudly encouraging the morale of the army: "The soldiers are desperate to break through, whether or not Li Ji can be sent to Chu is related to the survival of our Yu State, as long as one person is alive, Li Ji will be sent to Chu State!" ”

Yingbu in the distance snorted coldly, urging Ma Ti to take Yan Ti directly: "Hmph...... In front of my Yingbu, which one can walk away? ”

"The bandit Hugh is going to be rampant, eat me with a shot!"

A loud bang suddenly sounded in the distance, like thunder on the ground, and a general with a silver spear in his hand flew on a white horse, galloping like a whirlwind, rushing into the crowd in the blink of an eye, spears flying, and dozens of bandits were overturned in an instant.

Where the horse's hooves were tread, no one could stop them, and the spear went like a wave splitting like a wave, and went straight to the front of the Yingbu horse.
