In this era, there were only two kinds of people who could ride horses, one was the imperial court military lord, and the other was the bandits.

Although Houjiaji is close to the border, bordering Beixian, it is an important border town in the east of the "Land of Longxing", but Beixian has always established a good "Zongfan relationship" with the previous dynasty (Ming), after the Manchus entered the customs, Emperor Taizong Taiji personally conquered, Beixian was forced to surrender and become a vassal, and the relationship was maintained until two years ago - "Jiawu year", a major event occurred, and then the "Maguan" treaty was signed, and Beixian completely broke away from the Manchus.

Although Houjiaji is located on the border, it cannot be compared with the important town of "Ningguta" in the north, but Houjiaji's garrison is only 1,000 people, because since the defeat of the "First Sino-Japanese War", the rather aggrieved Lao Li signed the "Maguan" treaty on his behalf, which instantly triggered the "bus" incident, and then the imperial court was "deflated".

For the reborn Qi Tian, history is naturally not bad, and several major historical events are still relatively clear.

Seeing a team of horses galloping in the distance, it naturally occurred to me that it must be bandits.

As I got closer, I saw that I was wearing the bandits' usual equipment - white suede sheepskin jackets, all kinds of strange costumes, and all kinds of colorful clothes.

Qi Tian counted carefully, there were as many as 18 people, 16 of them carried a Mauser behind their backs, led by a horse chopping knife, with a national face, and a face of rivers and lakes; Next up was a muscular man with a tuft of hair on his head, a mosin-nagant on his shoulder, and a tattoo of an egg-sized cloud on the outer temple of his left eye.

After the snow melted, the ground became unusually dry, and after the horses trampled wildly, there was already smoke and dust.

Qi Tian subconsciously blocked the ashes and stopped Chunni into his arms.

A horse riding team didn't take Qi Tian and Chunni in their eyes at all, and shouted "Drive, drive, drive...... from time to time", and then whistled past.

Qi Tian, who used his sleeves to block the ashes, saw the right side of the horse with the tip of his eye. There is a cloud pattern the size of a baked cake on the strands, which is very confusing.

Not long after the pit viper joined the insurance team, Qi Tian once asked the pit viper to briefly describe the bandits within a radius of fifty miles with Hou Jiaji as the center, but the pit viper had limited vision, and only said that within a radius of thirty miles, there was also a brief introduction to the individual clear, such as this sycophant. The "cloud" pattern on the strand.

This pattern is called "Yuntu", and it is the Jiangyuan horse bandit in the northeast of Houjiaji, 40 miles away, and the leader of the bandit is called Hummer.

Horse bandits mainly use horses as a substitute for transportation, and they move quickly, often taking advantage of people's unpreparedness to rob and kill, which makes the victims very afraid.

Just when Qi Tian was puzzled, Chunni in his arms suddenly said, "Liar, those people are far away......

On the other hand, why don't you say hello! Everyone is ready.

At this time, Qi Tian's heart had forgotten about the fight, but he was thinking about why these horse bandits appeared, and they were actually running in the direction of Hou Jiaji.

Hearing Chunni's question, Qi Tian absentmindedly replied: "Ah, no, I'm just looking at ......"

Chunni was stunned and thought to herself, "What are you talking about?" ”

Then he raised his small fist and smashed it into Qi Tian's chest.

Just when Qi Tian was puzzled, one of the leaders of the horse team immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards Qi Tian's side.

Qi Tian saw that the situation was not good, and then said to Chunni in his arms, "Hurry up." ”

……

However, before the two could take a few steps, they were chased by the horse team behind them.

"Hey, that doll!"

The man who spoke was a man with a national character face who resisted the saber on his shoulder.

Qi Tian knew that nothing was good, so he pretended to be afraid, took Chunni in his arms, and said in a trembling voice: "Big. Master, I, we are good citizens. ”

At the moment of opening his mouth, Qi Tian was a little short of words, obviously because he had watched too many TV series in his previous life.

The man said, "Don't be afraid, inquire of a man." ”

Qi Tian, whose face gradually turned pale, said in a trembling voice: "As long as I know, I must tell Da. Father. ”

After saying this, Qi Tian secretly exclaimed in his heart: "Let this girl pinch me hard, I didn't expect that I was really willing to do it!" ”

The man took off the horse chopping knife on his shoulder, put it in his hand and weighed it, and then said in a deep voice: "I heard that there is a cub named 'Three Rings and Thirteen Shao', which is collected by your Hou family?" ”

His voice fell slightly, and then he said, "He has been very rampant lately! The fat man's family of 'rolling mines' has been vacated, more than 30 million taels of silver! The 'Smiling Tiger' can make a thousand taels of silver from him, so I'll try it too." ”

The voice fell slightly, and the sturdy man next to him casually echoed: "If that cub dares not to give it, our master will immediately bring his bird's nest." ”

When the words fell, a group of eighteen people laughed.

Listening to that man's words, Qi Tian secretly swore in his heart: "Smiling Tiger, don't talk about getting cheap, and preach it everywhere." Okay, the next goal is yours. ”

Immediately afterwards, Qi Tian showed a blank look, and then said suspiciously: "'Three rings and thirteen youths'? I've never heard of this person! Isn't it, big. Did you hear it wrong? ”

Hearing this, the sturdy man was immediately unhappy, threw out the whip in his hand, "snapped" twice, and then scolded the jargon.

Qi Tian didn't know much about the jargon, and he didn't understand what it meant at all.

Just look scared.

"Big brother, I see that this little doll is a toast and does not eat and drink, so I suggest lighting his sky lantern."

After the man finished speaking, he laughed.

In ancient times, lighting a sky lantern was also called pouring some human oil wax, which was a very cruel punishment, stripped the prisoner naked, wrapped in linen, and then put it into the oil tank to soak, and after night, he tied his head and feet to a tall wooden pole and lit it from his feet.

Qi Tian had seen it in a TV series in his previous life, it was an inhumane method of killing, and then he thought of the instant frightened scalp numbness, and said in a panic: "Don't, don't, please. Master, don't light the sky lantern, don't ......"

The sturdy man smiled instantly, and then said, "It's okay if you don't order it." Let the chick in your arms spend the night with us and enjoy it, you choose one!? ”

Are you kidding?

Light the sky lantern and stay overnight?

Do you really think of yourself as Qiao Si?

At this time, Chunni in Qi Tian's arms was already trembling with fright, and she was really scared.

Qi Tian knew that this was not pretending.

What is Man?

A man should guard the sky above his head, the ground under his feet, and the most important thing is the woman in his arms.

If you can't do it, what are you talking about?

In an instant, Qi Tian changed his normal and said in a deep voice: "What if I don't choose any of them? ”

"Hey, I see that you have a tight skin, let's find a smoke!?"

After the sturdy man finished speaking, he was about to raise his whip and whip Qi Tian, but he was stopped by the man with the face of the Chinese character next to him.

I only heard the man say: "Forget it, the rabbit is still biting when it is in a hurry, don't forget the purpose of our visit." ”

When the sturdy man heard this, he didn't dare to make any more moves.

At this time, smoke and dust rose in the distance, and there was an instantaneous sound of horses' hooves.

The bandits, who don't know why, heard the reputation, and then frowned.
