On the south bank of the Yellow River, is Huayin County, Hongnong County

Huayin, there are three things famous in the world: Huashan Tongguan and Hongnong Yang.

Xiyue Huashan is famous for its dangers.

Tongguan is bordered by the Yellow River in the north and the high mountains in the south. At this time, the construction has not yet been completed, but its dangerous position has a tendency to be closed. It is a necessary gateway for passage between Kanchu and Kanto.

Hongnong Yang's can be called together with Xiyue and Tongguan, which shows the prosperity of family fortune.

Hongnong Yang's family originated from the sheep tongue Ji Shu lineage more than 500 years BC, and has a history of more than 700 years. The Yang family is flourishing, and the descendants are all over the world, and Huayin, most people are surnamed Yang, and it is not an exaggeration to call Huayin the Yang family compound.

……

The sheepskin raft is ingenious and rudimentary.

Peel off the sheepskin and tie the head and tail tightly. When you blow a lot of air, it becomes a big sheepskin air bag. Several sheepskin airbags are tied to wooden strips to form rafts, which can carry several people.

It's just that there is no help on the side of the sheepskin raft, and the water is leaking below.

A group of people crossed the Yellow River and climbed the river beach, all of which turned into chickens in soup.

It was mid-autumn, the river was cold, and the concubines of the Son of Heaven were shivering in the autumn wind, which was really pitiful, but fortunately, everyone was safe.

After crossing the river, temporarily avoiding Li Wei's pursuers, he must quickly try to pass through Tongguan.

Guo Kan and Wu Yong have already discussed, and when they arrive in Huayin, they can only find Hongnong Yang if they want to pass through Tongguan.

It was dark, and everyone was looking for directions. Wang Bodang lifted the bow and arrow, and said lightly: "Don't look for it, it's here." ”

The crowd looked around. Where is there a figure.

Wang Bodang is good at archery, and his ears and eyes are clear. He said that someone was coming, and he would never be wrong.

Sure enough, after a while, more than a dozen people ran in the distance. They were all peasant men dressed in coarse cloth clothes, some carrying sticks in their hands.

Seeing someone rushing over, the little emperor Liu Xie's face turned pale with fright.

"Escort!" Guo Kan let out a low snort. He drew his sword and met him.

The mound fled. Only a few guards were brought. Yan Qing flashed to Liu Xie's side, holding a "Thanksgiving" Sichuan crossbow in her hand.

"Your Majesty, don't panic."

Yan Qing spoke, speaking softly and slowly, Liu Xie listened, felt less nervous, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yan Qing.

Wang Bodang judged from the footsteps that there were no strong players in this group of people who knew martial arts, and said: "Don't worry, if there is a fight, this person is not enough for a certain person." ”

"What people. Dare to trespass on Yang's land? The strong man in the lead shouted.

"Bold!" Guo Kan shouted, "The whole world is not the king's land, when did this become the private property of the Yang family?" ”

Guo Kan was wearing an official uniform and was soaked in water. Although it was funny, the official was intimidating, and the leading strong man couldn't help but look up and down at this group of people.

Seeing that this group of people was dressed noblely, the leading strong man was much more polite in his words.

"This place is the private property of the Yang family enshrined by Emperor Zhao, where do you come from? What's going on here? ”

The strong man was dressed as a farmer, but he spoke politely, a member of the Yang clan. It's unusual.

The identity of the Son of Heaven cannot be easily revealed, Guo Kan replied: "Our identity, you don't have to ask more, go and call the head of the Hongnong Yang family!" ”

"Head of the house? We people from the side tribe can't see the head of the house. Since you don't want to identify yourself, we won't accept you, I'm sorry. With that, he waved his hand and took his people away.

It's getting dark, so I have to find a place for the imperial concubines and ministers to spend the night.

Someone was sent around looking for a place to stay overnight, and a guard brought back a few people.

One of the old men claimed to be a local Likui and the head of the local Yang family.

The old man apologized politely: "It's no wonder that the township doesn't change things in the future." There are a few dilapidated houses in the old man's house, if you don't dislike it, please invite the distinguished guests to come and rest. ”

The sheepskin raft has been sitting, and these noble people have nothing to endure hardship.

Yang Laohan's home, the yard is very large, although the house is a little old, but it is by no means a dilapidated house.

Meals were prepared at home, and hot water was even boiled for everyone to wash.

Yang Laohan was very enthusiastic, but he never asked everyone where they came from, which made Guo Kan feel strange.

Wu Yong whispered: "He must have been told by the Yang family, and he should know our identity." ”

Guo Kan nodded: "Seeing that this old man Yang seems to have no malicious intent, we just pretend not to know." He turned around and asked, "Uncle, where is the head of the Hongnong Yang family?" ”

Yang Laohan said proudly: "This Huayin, seventy percent of the surname is Yang." The surname Yang in the world is out of Huayin. ”

"I'm asking the Yang family of the fourth and third dukes."

"Hehe, Huayin Yang's surname is in Donggong, naturally in Donggong Village, far away."

Guo Kanwu used to discuss while eating. The concubines and courtiers of the Son of Heaven have worked hard all the way, and it is rare to have a place to rest, so it is better to stay here for one night, and early tomorrow morning, rush to Donggong Village, show their identity to the Hongnong Yang family, and let the Yang family find a way to protect the Son of Heaven from Tongguan.

……

And they were tired, and fell into a deep sleep.

In the second half of the night, Wu Yong was suddenly woken up by Wang Bodang Yanqing. "There's cavalry coming here!"

Wu Yong was not as alert as Uncle Wang, and listened carefully for a long time before faintly perceiving the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

Guo Kan also got up.

It is a matter of the safety of the Son of Heaven, and everyone is nervous.

Yang Laohan also rushed over when he heard the sound, but he was much calmer than everyone else. "Don't worry, stay in the house, just don't make a sound. The old man went out to deal with it. ”

"Uncle, it may be the ...... of the Xiliang Army"

Old man Yang smiled slightly, and the old man in the countryside was a little arrogant. "Hehe, call him the Western Liang Army and the Eastern Liang Army, in Huayin, no one dares to break into the Yang family's courtyard casually."

Yang Laohan instructed everyone to stay in the inner house, and he brought two offspring with him and went out of the gate to check the situation.

The torches lit up the night, the horses' hooves were hurrying, and the voices of the people seemed to be hundreds.

The team stopped outside the gate of the compound, and the troops led the troops shouted loudly, arranging for control in all directions.

"Ladies and gentlemen, come late at night, is there something wrong?" Yang Laohan seemed to have seen the world, and he was not afraid in the face of the heavily armed Xiliang soldiers.

The junior colonel with the soldiers shouted: "Tongguan is guarded, and I am ordered to search for suspects, etc." ”

Wu Yongguo Kan has been paying attention to the movement outside the gate, listening to it clearly, looking at each other, and saying: "It's Tongguan Huaxiong's people!" ”

Outside the door, Yang Laohan was not in a hurry or annoyed, and said with a smile: "This military master, I am here in the mansion of the Hongnong Yang family, and there are no suspects." ”

The little colonel thought that he was quite jealous of the Hongnong Yang family, so he didn't dare to order to go in and arrest him.

There was another hurried sound of horses' hooves, and a group of ironclad cavalry galloped in.

The general who led the troops, tall and burly, with a bearded face. A long scar made the already fierce face even more terrifying.

This person is none other than Hua Xiong, the fierce general of the Xiliang Army guarding Tongguan!

"Did you catch the suspect?" Hua Xiong asked, and his voice was like thunder.

"General Yu, this is the mansion of the Hongnong Yang family, and it has not been searched."

Hua Xiong waved the big knife in his hand. "Search!"

Yang Laohan saw that the Xiliang Army was about to break through, so he hurriedly took a few steps forward and saluted Huaxiong. "This is really the Yang family's mansion, so it's convenient for the general."

Hua Xiong didn't even glance at Yang Laohan, and shouted: "Search!" ”

Seeing this, Yang Laohan reached out and grabbed Hua Xiong's horse reins. He pleaded: "General, no! ”

"Let go!"

"General, General......"

Hua Xionghuan's eyes slowly narrowed, his face squeezed the horizontal flesh, the scar jumped spasmodically, and the big knife in his hand swung violently! (To be continued.) )>
