A horse and two mules walked slowly down the dirt road, and the leading horse was indeed a beautiful animal, with a knotted tail, bulging tendons, well-developed and slender legs, a slightly raised and rather heavy back, which looked like a slightly raised plateau half from a distance, and a strong hip and neck, which was obviously a strong horse that could be used as a war horse.

Rose, sitting on the red-haired horse, suddenly realizes that riding a horse is not a particularly difficult task. The horse didn't care that the two of them had killed their original owner, and meekly let Rose straddle him. Rose tried to kick the horse in the belly, and the horse sprang briskly, walking so smoothly that it seemed like she was floating in the clouds. She tugged at the reins again, and the horse slowed down obediently, snorting once or twice from time to time, as if to show off his abilities to his master.
"It seems that it is not so difficult to ride a horse, and this horse will be mine in the future." Rose said to Wang Tao.
Wang Tao didn't speak, and nodded quietly. The man who has killed people seems to be a little different from ordinary men, but where is the difference Rose couldn't say it, she just felt that Wang Tao had an indescribable heaviness and sadness.
"You didn't throw up after you killed someone, it's okay. I threw up for days after my first killing. Rose didn't want Wang Tao to be entangled in the pain of murder, so she explained.
"No, I'm not disgusting at all - on the contrary, I'm very happy, I'm happy that I can kill a thief and avenge my father and dozens of people in the house!" Wang Tao kept saying that he was not disgusting at all, but he had already burst into tears and was so choked that he could no longer speak.
Rose waited quietly for a while, waiting for Wang Tao's mood to calm down before continuing: "Then what are you going to do?" Now we know that they are in the Black Wind Village, but we can't kill them directly, they don't need to fight us in close quarters at all, just put a few rounds of arrows and we will die. ”
"You've been dealing with the White Lotus Sect since you were a child, do you think it's useful to report to the official?" Wang Tao asked.
"Reporter?" Rose sneered: "If the government is useful, the old sow can go up the tree!" Those adults sitting in the county government never care about the lives and deaths of the small people, they only care about their official positions and taking bribes! The affairs of the rural areas of Shandong are all managed by the chief and deputy people in the village, and the government only knows how to collect taxes, and does not care about disaster relief, sacrifices, and thieves prevention! ”
"But this White Lotus Sect is a cult, if you let them sit big, I'm afraid that the position of the officials and masters will not be stable."
Rose sneered: "Do you still think that the current White Lotus Sect is still the previous White Lotus Sect!" When I was at home, the White Lotus Sect often came, and they drank too much and boasted that a certain official had joined the White Lotus Sect, and a certain military attache had also become a protector of the Dharma, but I was afraid that if you went to sue the official with the front foot, you would kill someone with the back foot! ”
Wang Tao was silent for a while, suddenly pulled out his saber, and waved it hatefully in the air: "It's really hateful, they all say that this is a nest of officials and bandits, and I also say that this is an exaggeration, but at the moment, I'm afraid that this is already a 'family of officials and bandits'!" ”
"Actually, it's not impossible" After a pause, Rose said: "If we sneak into their cottage, maybe we can kill a few, but it can't be more, they will definitely be alert if they die more, and it will be lucky to be able to escape when the time comes." ”
"No, I can't let you take such a risk, you've already helped me a lot, and I can't die even if I die for this great kindness, how can I let you die with me?" Wang Tao vetoed this proposal, looked at the avenue in front of him that seemed to be incomplete, and lamented: "In this world, how come good people always have no way out, and bad people run rampant at will!" ”
Rose was about to speak, when she heard a sharp hiss, and she looked up alarmedly to see that it was the sound of an arrow flying through the air.
She felt a chill in her heart, an arrow piercing the clouds, thousands of miles to see each other, this time it was a really loud horse!
The horse thieves came like the wind, they rode horses, from all directions, their equestrian skills were very good, some people did not even have a saddle, but they could still gallop freely on the horse, making all kinds of dazzling movements, and almost every one of them had a bow and arrow, this kind of military weapon that could only be made in three years was very lethal, and it was very lethal to shoot on a horse, and even hard leather armor could shoot through within forty paces, and it was definitely not comparable to the weak bow and arrow used by ordinary hunters.
They galloped in all directions, out of the woods, from the roads, outflanked from behind, shouting incomprehensible slogans to embolden themselves and intimidate the enemy, and soon surrounded the two Roses.
"Wang Tao, don't clash with them, we can't beat them." Rose stepped off her horse and raised her hands in the air, signaling that she had no intention of resisting. She did not pull out the dagger, and resisting in this situation was definitely the worst option.
"Yes." Wang Tao threw the saber to the ground and raised his hands like a rose.
There were about fifty horse thieves, and they wore a variety of clothes, including green cloth robes, dart masters, brocade robes, and sheepskin jackets, and their weapons were also varied, such as short swords, sabers, swords, short spears, bows and arrows, and javelins, although it was absolutely impossible to fight the regular army, but it was definitely more than enough to deal with ordinary travelers.
A man rode out of the crowd, he looked to be no more than forty years old, tall and strong, as he walked, he seemed to see the full muscles bulging from under the blue cloth, his face was angular, his eyes were medium in size, but the light was bright, and he knew at a glance that he was a battle-hardened thief. He has a long knife hanging from his waist, this long knife looks a little strange, the blade is about two feet long, such a knife should be suitable for foot combat, similar to the Japanese sword, if the user's strength is large enough, he can kill two or three unarmored opponents with one knife, but it is used as a saber by this person, it can be seen that his strength is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.
The man didn't pull out his sword, which meant that he didn't want to use force for the time being, so Rose just stood quietly and didn't make any threatening moves.
The thief rode his horse slowly and spoke. His voice was extremely loud, like a bell that would ring every morning and evening in the temple: "Two little brothers, we are Linqing Xiangma, our surname is Zhang, friends in the rivers and lakes gave a nickname Zhang Buyi, the most robbing the rich and helping the poor, love to make friends, let's see that the two of you don't look like rich children, since they are all bitter haha, then don't worry!" ”
Rose had heard of the reputation of Shandong's ringing horses, especially Linqing's proximity to the canal, and the ringing horses were especially numerous. But most of these people rob the rich and help the poor and help the poor, so when Rose heard this, she was a little relieved, and replied in Zhang Buyi's tone: "I have heard the name of Linqing Xiangma for a long time, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary!" I am from Daliang Village, Qufu County, this is my little brother, I was going to Linqing to ask for a living, I don't know why the king stopped my two brothers! ”
Before Zhang Buyi could speak, a shrill voice shouted: "Big brother, don't be deceived by this kid, he said that he is from Daliang Village, but he is a rural boy, where did he come from such a good horse!" And this little fat man, he doesn't even have a cocoon on his hands, if he is from a poor background, he won't believe it if he kills me Lao Zhou! The man who spoke was a monkey-cheeked monkey, dressed in a white-washed blue shirt, with a short spear in his hand, a bow at his waist, and an quiver on his back, and looked like a small leader.
Zhang Buyi listened to his words, groaned slightly, and said thoughtfully: "I shouldn't have stopped the little brother, but I have something to ask, so I'm sorry, I promise that if this matter has nothing to do with you, I will never take you a copper plate, and I will never hurt a hair of your hair!" ”
Rose then said, "In that case, please ask the king to ask." ”
"Let me ask you, have you ever seen a spy dressed in a black robe, riding on one of these red horses, with a leprosy head and a mouth, and looking quite fierce?"
Rose and Wang Tao glanced at each other, the person Zhang Buyi described was the White Lotus Sect spy they had just killed, but they didn't know what the relationship between Zhang Buyi and this person was, so they didn't dare to take the initiative to answer for a while.
Zhang Buyi saw the two of them looking at each other, as if he guessed that the two had seen this person, so he said: "Don't worry, this person is one of my enemies, I want to catch him seeking revenge from the White Lotus Sect, and it has nothing to do with the two of you." ”
"In that case, return to the king, this man has been killed by us, and this horse is his horse," said Rose, taking out Wang Tao's saber again, and continued: "This knife is also his sword, if the king wants it, take it!" ”
Zhang Buyi was about to speak, but Lao Zhou shouted loudly: "Impossible, this person is a member of the White Lotus Sect's Dongyang Hall, the most brave, you two are so young, how can you beat this thief!" ”
Rose had never heard anyone question her ability to kill, she glared at Lao Zhou: "I said I killed it, I killed it, this horse and this knife are here, you can check it out for yourself." If you don't believe me, let's do it twice! She knew that since the other party had no reason to do it at this time, she didn't have to show her timidity, this Zhang Buyi was a bright and upright character, but "Hades is good to see, and the little ghost is difficult to pick", and she should also show her strength if necessary.
"You bitch, how dare you—"
"Old Zhou!" Zhang Buyi just said softly, and Lao Zhou immediately fell silent, obviously this Zhang Buyi's prestige was extremely high, so that Lao Zhou did not dare to offend.
"I can't hide it, this person is a person from the White Lotus Sect Dongyang Hall, Dongyang Hall has recently done several massacres in Shandong, and he also used the banner of my Linqing Xiangma, which greatly damaged my reputation as a Linqing horse thief, and I must settle accounts with them. It's just that this group of people is riding horses, coming and going like the wind, it's really not easy to arrest, yesterday the people below told me that there was a White Lotus Sect spy passing by here, and I took people to chase after me, but I didn't expect it to be a step too late. Speaking of this, Zhang Buyi looked a little depressed, and seemed to feel a little embarrassed to let a child take the lead.
