At the turn of spring and summer, it is always rainy in Jiangnan, and once the rain is heavy and dense, it will delay the itinerary of people who are away from home. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After all, people at this time mostly relied on walking or riding some animals, and if there was nothing urgent, they would not have to travel in the wind and rain.

Today, the official road from Hangzhou to the southern prefectures and counties is very empty because of this sudden heavy rain. Especially when it was close to evening, there were only two people left on this official road who were still on their way.

The young man in front of the head, who was not more than a weak crown and looked handsome, especially the most eye-catching young man with a pair of sword eyebrows, wiped the rain on his face, and turned back to the majestic man behind him without complaint and said: "Yingyang, I said that this rainy day should be rested overnight in the small post station in front." But you are good, you have to hurry to continue the journey, and pat your chest and say that there is still a place to rest not far ahead, we have run for nearly twenty miles, why don't you see the inn you mentioned? ”

The big man scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Maybe I remembered it wrong." I thought it was still early, the rain was not heavy, and I could travel more, but I didn't expect it...... I'm also a little anxious to go home, but I've been a burden to you, second brother. ”

"You, when will you get rid of this frizzy habit?" The young man smiled helplessly, and urged the horse to hurry up again.

These two people are naturally Yang Zhen and Cai Yingyang. They set off from Hangzhou the day before and have been heading south to Zhuji. Because Cai Yingyang was in a hurry to go home after being away from his hometown for several months, he missed the night, and depending on the situation, he was going to stay in the wild tonight.

Fortunately, the rain stopped before dark, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, if the rain kept falling, it would be difficult for them to sleep in the open, and it seemed that their luck was not bad yet. When Yang Zhen saw that the rain had stopped, he took off his coat and put it in a bamboo cage beside him, where there was also a large burden and an embroidered spring knife wrapped in cloth.

His hands moved, and his mouth was not idle: "Yingyang, since you are from Zhuji, introduce me to your hometown, to be honest, I still heard the name of this place from your mouth." ”

Listening to Yang Zhen inquire about his hometown, Cai Yingyang suddenly came to his senses, and smiled very proudly: "Second brother turns out that there are things you don't know, I Dao Jinyiwei should know everything." When it comes to our Zhuji County, it's amazing, Wu Yue competed for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period, and you always know about the Gou Jian who tried the courage of lying on the salary, right? At that time, the capital of Yue was our Zhuji County. There is also the legendary beauty Xi Shi who made King Wu fascinated and finally died of the country, which is also our Zhuji.

"As for the rest, the people there are more upright, and the tempers are different from those in other places in Jiangnan. The product is also average, but there is a dried fruit called the millennium fruit, the taste is not bad, I will ask the second brother to try it when the time comes......

"Of course, the best place is not the county seat, but Chenjiaao, which is dozens of miles away from the county seat, that is, the village where my family is located. There is a high mountain called Dongbai Mountain, and it is very cold to go to the top of the mountain at this time......

Unconsciously, Cai Yingyang pulled the topic from Zhuji County to his own village, watching him spit around, boasting about how good the people in the village were, how good the climate was, how rich the products were, and even how clear the river in front of the door was, Yang Zhen couldn't help laughing.

Only then did he realize that the brother in front of him was just a simple young man who didn't have much knowledge, except for a trip to Hangzhou during the Lantern Festival, but he was afraid that he rarely wandered outside, and obviously he knew very little about Zhuji County. And I actually asked him about the situation there, wanting to get some useful information from it, which really meant to ask Yu Blind.

In fact, this is also the norm of the people of the Ming Dynasty in this era, many people have never been out of their hometown ten miles away in their lives, and only some people who have committed crimes or are restless will leave their hometowns to go out. It is also very common for villagers to only know the one-third of an acre of land in front of them without knowing the county seat.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhen couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for the benefits of developed information in his previous life. At that time, no matter where you went, you could just search the Internet and learn about that place, instead of listening to him talk about these useless things like now.

But seeing Cai Yingyang's lively appearance, Yang Zhen couldn't interrupt his speech for a while, so he had to listen casually, but his mind was not here at all.

Just when the two of them came to a fork in the road—the avenue on one side was towards Shaoxing Mansion, and the trail on the other side extended to Zhuji County—Yang Zhen's eyebrows suddenly raised, and he gestured to Cai Yingyang, who was still talking: "Stop!" ”

Cai Yingyang stopped in some confusion, and looked at Yang Zhen again, but found that he was tilting his head and listening attentively to the movement of the road leading to Shaoxing Mansion. Soon, Yang Zhen turned his head: "Did you hear something?" ”

"No, no!" Cai Yingyang said a little nervously. Although he didn't participate much, he also knew that Yang Zhen had offended many people by what they had done before, and he was naturally a little worried that someone would come to seek revenge. Now when I saw Yang Zhen like this, and when he was out again, it was already dark, and he couldn't help but worry about this.

"There was a sound of weapons handing over there, could it be that a pedestrian had hit the robbery?" Yang Zhen said his speculation in his mouth, turned the horse's head and went that way. After he practiced the "Pure Wind Jue", the six senses were much more sensitive than before, and although the sound was almost inaudible because of the distance that came here, he still clearly grasped it.

"This blue sky and white sun...... Eh, Lang Lang, there are still people robbing the road? Cai Yingyang was a little puzzled, but he also hurriedly followed Yang Zhen over there.

Just five miles away from Yang Zhen and them, there was an oil-walled incense car on the empty official road. The two horses at the wheel were now dead on the ground, and the horses still had some arrows stuck in their bodies. Apparently someone was lying in ambush on the side of the road, and suddenly fired an arrow and knocked down the horse pulling the cart.

Although the four big men in front of the car were also hit by arrows and were not lightly injured, they were still guarding with swords, and outside them, there were more than 20 black-clothed and masked men staring at them. Some of them were armed with spears and knives, and farther up the hillside stood five men in black with longbows in their hands, aiming at them. Just by looking at the arrows on their bows, we can see that the horse and the man were wounded by them.

With a whistle, the eight men in black had already pounced quickly. The four guards stopped drinking, and met them fearlessly, only to see that after a burst of weapons fire, two of the eight men in black fell, and the other six also retreated with wounds. Although the four of them were wounded, when it came to martial arts, they were obviously far superior to the enemies in front of them.

But after all, the man in black took advantage of the number of people, and he couldn't hit it well, and then there was a whistle, and eight more people flew up, not giving the four people any respite. Now, their movements are not as neat as just now, and after a few moves, the person on the far right has a muffled snort, and the shoulder socket has been pierced by a shot. If it weren't for the brother next to him who came to the rescue in time, he was afraid that he would die under the next knife.

But even so, their situation is not encouraging. The four of them are closely coordinated, and they can resist even if they have fewer enemies. But now that one person is suddenly injured, there is a gap on this side, and under the rematch, he has completely fallen into a situation of being passively beaten.

Suddenly, there was a tiger roar, and the rightmost man was stabbed again, but he didn't even retreat, but suddenly stepped forward, and at the same time, the knife in his hand suddenly rolled up a lightning-like light, and with a bang, he actually cut off the heads of the two black-clothed people in front of him.

But this was a desperate blow from his serious injury, and with a knife shot, his body had lost his life, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Seeing this, the other three ...... saw this, their eyes were red, and they frantically attacked forward desperately, and finally forced the enemy back again. The three of them leaned back together, snorting and panting, staring at the group of black-clothed people in front of them and asking, "What are you coming from, why do you want to kill my Cao gang so much!" ”

But what answered them was a new round of attacks, and those men in black killed again, this time, their overwhelming advantage was already greater, and perhaps with more strength, the remaining three could be solved.

The battle and shouting here had been seen and heard by Yang Zhen and the others who had arrived. The two of them dismounted and walked when they were close to the battlefield, and those men in black couldn't have imagined that there were still people coming at this moment, which made them feel the vicinity very smoothly.

Seeing that the other party not only robbed the road, but was so outnumbered, Cai Yingyang stepped forward to help. was pulled by Yang Zhen: "Look over there, don't act rashly!" He gestured to the hillside over there.

Cai Yingyang saw those archers on the side of the hill at this time, and after scolding him for being despicable, he couldn't help but say, "Since there are archers, why do they still attack so strongly?" Wouldn't it be enough to shoot them with a bow and arrow? ”

"It's supposed to be a rat thrower, worried about hurting the people in the car. Their target should be the man in the car, not the men. Yang Zhen looked at the battle situation in front of him and made a judgment in a low voice.

"What then? Are we just watching? ”

"Of course not, even if it's all irrelevant people, we have to rescue them, not to mention that they have some friendship with me. But saving people also requires strategy, you wait here, and as soon as an arrow comes down from above, you drive your horse to kill it! Yang Zhen said that he had already bent down and quietly hid towards the hillside over there.

On the hillside, the five black-clothed men had lowered their bows and arrows at this moment as Yang Zhen expected, obviously afraid of hurting their own people or the people in the car. And after seeing that the situation below was securely won, they felt even more relaxed, and even the half-open bowstring was released.

But just then, a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind them......
