Chang'an in the middle of summer, very hot.

And on a hot morning, Su Wuming set off with Nangong Yan and the soldiers and horses equipped by the imperial court.

Since Su Wuming is patrolling Sichuan on behalf of the Son of Heaven, it is very normal to have an honor guard and an escort team, and the team walked through the streets of Chang'an, attracting everyone's attention for a while.

After the team passed through the city gate, a few friends of Su Wuming, such as Dibu and Cheshire, who Su Wuming had met in the capital, rushed over, and they came to see Su Wuming off.

The willows by the moat, the wind blowing like a dancing girl's sleeves, Dibu and Cheshire each brought a glass of wine, and everyone looked at each other and drank it all.

I didn't say much about parting, after all, for Dibu and Cheshire, Su Wuming would return to the capital Chang'an sooner or later, and they came just as friends, if no one said goodbye, it would be too shabby.

After Di Bu drank it all, he said, "Lord Su, please think about what I said to you last time. ”

This sentence suddenly came out a little abruptly, but Su Wuming understood it very well, and he nodded: "Don't worry, Master Di, I will definitely consider it." ”

This time I said goodbye, and I didn't give up, after the wine was drunk, everyone left one after another, and the big team led by Su Wuming also headed for Sichuan.

The road out of the capital is quite peaceful, of course, there is a little bad, that is, the day is too hot, hot they travel very little every day, sometimes even have to rush at night, rest during the day.

Su Wuming and Nangong Yan didn't feel this way, they sat on the carriage and occasionally enjoyed the scenery along the way, but they didn't feel anything bad along the way.

In such a hurry, they walked for half a month before finally coming to the Sichuan border, and when they came to the Sichuan border, they found that this place was so beautiful, although the development is not complete, but there are wonders left by nature, the scenery here, are all natural, in it, it is really beautiful.

Every time they pass by a place, everyone is lingering and don't want to leave, the beautiful scenery here makes them forget the purpose of this patrol, and whenever this time, Nangong Yin will stand up and remind Su Wuming not to forget the original intention.

For someone like Nangong Yin to follow him, Su Wuming felt very awkward, and he also more or less guessed Li Deyu's purpose for letting him follow him, originally Su Wuming wanted to find an opportunity to return Nangong Yin, but seeing Nangong Yan so happy, Su Wuming had no choice but to give up.

After entering the border of Sichuan, they were rarely able to see the towns, because the place was very large, but there were not many places where a large number of people lived, only a few peasant families and a few hunters lived in seclusion by the mountains and rivers.

On this day, from the morning when the sky was thick clouds, and then the clouds became lower and lower, as if to press people out of breath, in the afternoon, there was a light rain, the arrival of light rain, so that this summer suddenly became a lot more refreshing, and just when everyone felt refreshed and wanted to hurry up, in order to rush to the front town, a group of bandits suddenly rushed out along the road.

The number of bandits is not large, there are about forty people, the leader is a man with a big waist and a round waist, wearing short sleeves, after these people rushed out, they completely ignored the large group of soldiers and horses behind Su Wuming, as if they came to this place, he was the king.

The team stopped suddenly, the guards behind hurriedly stopped in front of the carriage, Su Wuming got out of the carriage, glanced at the thieves, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You are robbers?" ”

The leading thief laughed: "Of course it's a robbery, could it be that it will greet you, a court official?" ”

Su Wuming was stunned for a moment, thinking about a rampant robber.

"Since you know that this official is a big official in the court, you still dare to block the road and rob, it seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you don't know that the sky is high!"

"Hmph, it's not certain who teaches whom, if you know each other, hand over all the valuable things, maybe I can spare your life, if not, today is your burial place."

After the bandit leader finished speaking, he immediately showed his weapon, but Su Wuming faintly felt that things were not so simple, no matter how rampant the bandits were, they would not be stupid enough to use forty or fifty people to block the road and rob like them, they must have a back-up move.

Su Wuming swept the surroundings with his residual light, the light rain was dripping, the surrounding mountains were very complicated, and the weeds were overflowing, if there were a few people hidden inside, there would be no problem at all.

The wind and rain washed on Su Wuming's face, Su Wuming frowned slightly, and then quietly gave the order to let the archers prepare to launch around, and then, Su Wuming called Tang Xiong to him and muttered a few words to him, Tang Xiong came to those guards after he understood.

The thieves' eyes were dripping, and the rain was running down their cheeks, and at this time, Tang Xiong suddenly laughed and said, "Today Grandpa let you know what real rampant is. ”

As he spoke, Tang Xiong immediately flew forward and grabbed the bandit leader, and at this time, the archers suddenly shot into the surrounding barren grass, and for a while there were screams from the barren grass one after another, but after the screams, sharp arrows suddenly shot out of the grass.

And here Tang Xiong, people block and kill, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, and everyone who wants to get close to him is killed by him with one palm, or he breaks his neck, which is terrifying.

When did those thieves see such a murderous person without blinking, and they retreated for a while, but Tang Xiong didn't allow them to retreat, and how could those guards let them retreat?

Tang Xiong rushed quickly, and he had only one target, that was the leader of the bandits, and those guards followed closely and rushed out, the people they wanted to kill were those small soldiers.

The bandit leader was frightened, he had been a bandit for so many years, and he had never met such a powerful character, such a deadly character, he regretted this interception and killing, he originally thought that there were dozens of brothers in the dark to release cold arrows, even if there were many officers and soldiers, they could not help them, but now he was wrong.

The official they met today was too smart, and the clever knew about their conspiracy from the beginning, and the big man they met was also too strong, so strong that so many of them were probably not enough for him to kill alone.

He wanted to escape.

When you meet Tang Xiong, maybe you can only survive by escaping.

But he was surrounded by guards, and he couldn't escape, so would he die here today?

Xiaoyu was a little crazy, the wind was the same, the ground was full of mud, the bandit leader suddenly lost confidence, and even lost the desire to escape, he watched Tang Xiong approach him step by step, and suddenly knelt down: "A good man spares his life." ”

Tang Xiong snorted coldly, and grabbed him with a palm, the bandit leader instinctively wanted to resist, but his resistance was so vulnerable to Tang Xiong.

After Tang Xiong captured the bandit leader, those people immediately stopped fighting, and those who could escape now only wanted to escape, and those who couldn't escape could only kneel down and beg for mercy.

The cold arrows stopped, their archers were the ones who could escape, but whether they could escape the guards' arrows or not was up to their luck.

The leader of the bandits was brought in, Su Wuming asked in detail, and the bandit then told all the bad things he had done over the years, he didn't want to say these things, but Tang Xiong's hand was around his neck, and he deeply felt that as long as Tang Xiong used his strength, his little life would be whining.

After the thieves told them all the things they had done, Tang Xiong hated to kill him immediately, because what they did was simply too hateful, they were bold, and anyone dared to rob them, and it was a scourge for such a person to stay in the world.

However, Su Wuming hadn't spoken yet, and he couldn't kill this hateful bandit.

After hearing this, Su Wuming bowed his head slightly and said, "A few months ago, did you rob a person named Du Ru?" ”

Su Wuming felt that this group of thieves had been doing the business of robbing houses and houses here for many years, so was Du Ru's disappearance done by this group of people?

Du Ru is the envoy of the Sichuan Festival, but unlike Su Wuming, who is the patrol of the Son of Heaven, the people he brings will not be right, and he will not be able to deal with this gang of bandits.

The thief thought about it carefully and shook his head: "No, I have never met a person named Du Ru. ”

After listening to this, Su Wuming first pondered for a moment, and then shrugged helplessly: "Since that's the case, then I'm sorry, do it!" ”

As soon as these words came out, those bandits suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and after Tang Xiong and the others heard this, they couldn't wait to do it, and those captured bandits were cut down before they could shout.

They didn't expect that the young man in front of them would be so hard-hearted, they had surrendered, but they didn't give them a way to live, and they killed decisively, and killed when they said they would.

In the rain and mud, there were dozens of corpses lying there, Su Wuming looked at it coldly, and said, "Dispose of it and continue on the road." ”

It was not easy to dispose of the corpses in this rain, but they still thought of a way to deal with them.

After some processing, they continued on the road, and finally arrived at a county seat, Bazhong County, before dark.

The scenery outside Bazhong County is pleasant, when it is dark and not dark, in the drizzle, you can faintly see the hazy scenery, as if it is a fairyland in the painting, Su Wuming and others just arrived outside the city, the county commander of Bazhong County Huo Xin led the general officials to greet him, Huo Xin is a middle-aged man in his forties, slightly thin, standing in the drizzle, looking a little smart, a government official to Huo Xin holding a fan, when they saw Su Wuming's team, they hurriedly ran away.

"Xiaguan Huo Xin, welcome Master Su!"

Since Su Wuming is inspecting Sichuan on behalf of the Son of Heaven, he can't go as fast as a horse, and every time he goes to a place, the customs here, the integrity of officials, etc., are all among Su Wuming's inspections.
