As it turned out, Guan Suo thought too much.

In this troubled era, in the land of Guanzhong, which has been ravaged countless times, or far away from the smoke of gunpowder, Jiaxian County has a peaceful atmosphere, at least, the smiles on the faces of the people can be seen.

The procurement went smoothly and not as bad as Kansok imagined.

Shen Shi, estimated that it was more than four o'clock in the afternoon, Guan Suo more than 100 people drove the cart, full of grain and grass and returned, and the heart that had been hanging was finally put down.

As soon as he returned to the agreed place, Guan Suo was dumbfounded.

Looking left and right, I looked around from afar, but there was no figure of my mother Hu and all my family members!

The frame is also gone!

Twenty or so men looked after the horses, and their faces wept and mourned.

Something happened!

Guan Suodun realized that it was not good, and at this moment, seeing them coming back, the remaining tooth generals hurriedly ran over, and when they got closer, they knelt down in front of Guan Suo's horse, crying: "Major General, no...... Oh no, old lady, old lady they were ...... Kidnapped by thieves! ”

"Huh?!" Guan Suo's head was confused.

Li Yan behind him was in a hurry, jumped off the war horse, jumped in front of the tooth general, pulled him up from the ground by the collar, and scolded him: "Yang Zhen, you bastard!" What did you say? Old lady, they were kidnapped by thieves? What are you eating?! How do I explain to you when I'm gone? Donkey hair stuffed in your ears? The old lady has been hijacked, you one. Watching the old lady being robbed? Is the weapon in your hand a fire stick? You...... Why didn't you die in battle...... I...... Him. I'll slaughter you useless thing! ”

As he spoke, Li Yan drew his sword and was about to kill Yang Zhen.

Li Yan was really anxious, Yang Zhen was the person he brought, Guan Suo put the safety of the family in the hands of the person he brought, he trusted him Li Yan, but as a result, there was such a big basket, and he Li Yan really didn't have the face to meet people.

"Dang!"

Seeing that Yang Zhen was about to die under the sword, a halberd stopped the long sword, Guan Suo's face was like sinking water, and his voice seemed to be nine cold winters to the heart's bones, "General Li, wait, let's listen to what Yang Zhen said first, killing people now can't solve the problem." ”

"Yang Zhen, let's talk about it, what's going on? Where did the thieves come from, what happened to them, and what about the other brothers? I've seen it, and there's no trace of tearing here. ”

"Major General, here's how it ......"

Listening to Yang Zhen roughly explain what had happened, Guan Suo and Li Yan knew what had happened during this time.

It turned out that after they left to go to the county seat, considering that there was not much grain and grass left, Yang Zhen left ten people to protect his family in line with the idea of saving money, and the other forty people drove the horses to the surrounding area to find the green and tender grass, but at the time of Chen, it was less than eleven o'clock at noon in the future, hearing the cry for help, Yang Zhen hurriedly rushed over with people, but it was too late, Hu and others and ten soldiers had been robbed by thieves.

Yang Zhen blamed himself and said: "Looking at the footprints at the scene, the thieves are very heavy, I am afraid that there are no less than two or three hundred people; There are no traces of tearing and no blood, old lady they should still be alive. The little one didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent twenty brothers to trace the footprints in the past, and the little one was waiting for the young general here, but he was afraid that the young general would not know what was going on, and now, the little one could die with peace of mind. ”

Not good!

Seeing that Yang Zhen drew his knife and looked at his neck to wipe it off, Guan Suo hurriedly knocked his knife away with a halberd, and shouted, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Small...... Little shameless goodbye young general! Yang Zhen cried.

"You're so kind, how can you blame that? Usually we do the same thing, to blame can only be blamed, there are thieves here, what does this have to do with you? After all, no one would have thought about it. ”

"Major General......

"Okay, don't look for death, you have the strength to commit suicide, and it's better to cut off a few more thieves' heads than anything else when you meet the thieves!"

Li Yan shouted: "I haven't thanked the young general yet!" ”

Yang Zhen hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The grace of General Xie Shao not to kill, the grace of General Xie not to kill." ”

"Get up and speak."

Guan Suo said lightly, jumped off the war horse, walked around with the halberd, and finally stopped on a small road leading to the southeast, and said Yang Zhendao: "The thief is going in this direction, right?" ”

"Yes, Major General."

"Have you ever heard of any mountains nearby, thieves' dens or something?"

Li Yan replied on the side: "There is indeed a mountain, named Sancrest Mountain, when Yan was young, he went to Hongnong with General Xu Huang, and heard him say that there is a thief on Sancrest Mountain, there are thousands of people, and the officials and troops have encircled and suppressed it several times but cannot destroy it, and after several times, they will let it go." However, the last general also heard that this group of thieves never did the business of blocking the road and robbing, and the leader of the thieves was called Wang Linggong, known as the king of thieves. ”

"Oh? So, is he in the tomb robbery business? Guan Suo raised his eyebrows and said strangely.

"Yes, it is said that this Wang Linggong is quite popular with the people, and often does some good deeds of robbing the rich and helping the poor, and the Lu Jiao Village he runs is also self-sufficient...... I heard that the reason why the officials and troops could not be exterminated was because of the help of the surrounding people, and of course, there was no lack of possibility that Lu Jinzhai would not threaten the place. ”

Guan Suo shook his hand irritably and said, "Hearing you say this, my mother and their robbery this time should not be done by this Wang Linggong." ”

Li Yandao: "The last general also thinks so, but I only heard that there is such a Lu Jiaozhai around...... However, after all, this is still a matter of the last general's youth, and after so many years, whether Lu Jinzhai is still the same Lu Jinzhai, or whether there are new thieves appearing, the last general is not very clear. ”

Guan Suo groaned and said, "Is this road leading to Lu Jiaozhai?" ”

Li Yan carefully identified the direction and said, "The direction is a little off...... However, the general direction is still correct, and Lu Jiaozhai should be more southerly. ”

"I don't want to!"

Guan Suo turned over the war horse and said, "Just look for the footprints and chase down!" Leave some people behind, find a hidden place to carefully take care of the horses, Li Yan, you pick twenty brothers who are good at riding, bring enough dry food, and follow me! ”

"Whoa!"

……

"Major General, it's getting late, why don't you find a place to rest for the night."

chased all the way down, seeing that the night was dark, but he didn't even catch the shadow of the thief, looking at Guan Suo with a anxious face, Li Yan couldn't help but persuade.

"No way!"

Guan Suo shook his head categorically, and said: "I chased for more than an hour and a half, according to the theory, the thief has a frame drag, and he can't go fast at all, even if he is more than two hours ahead of us, it should be close, maybe it's in front of him, don't catch up, wait for a long time, I'm afraid there will be any accidents, if my mother and father-in-law ......."

"Young General, since the thieves have chosen not to kill, but to take them away, it means that the lives of the old ladies should be safe in a short time; Moreover, the sky is dim, there is not even moonlight or starlight, and the marks on the road are also difficult to find...... If you wait for tomorrow to dawn, it will not be too late to chase after you have enough spirit, and at that time, if you meet a thief, you will have the strength to tear it up! Li Yan persuaded hard.

"This ......"

Guan Suo was stunned, and couldn't help but feel that what Li Yan said was reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Okay, just according to what you said." ”

Sharpen the knife and do not mistake the woodcutter.

This matter is obviously not urgent.

Li Yan pointed to the right hand side and said, "Young General, you see there is a Zhuangzi over there, why don't we go to that village to rest for one night, and by the way, we can also inquire about the news of the thief." ”

"Good!"

……

The estate is huge.

Guan Suo and Li Yan took people to the main gate, and looked at it, the vermilion lacquered gate, the gatehouse was very magnificent, there was a plaque hanging on the door, with three big characters of "Lujiazhuang" written on it, and the high courtyard wall, the whole Zhuangzi was quite like a very popular dock fort in this period, but the scale was much smaller, and it was not so grandiose, but there should also be some self-defense capabilities.

On the two doors, the word "happiness" is pasted, and the lintel is high and red light, it seems that the main family should have a happy event.

Li Yan stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon a porter opened the door, Li Yan showed his intention, the porter stretched his neck, and saw that Guan Suo and others were riding war horses, with weapons, and armor on their bodies.

The owner of the village is an old man, his temples are slightly white, and he should be no less than fifty, very rich.

"Two generals, are you going to spend the night?" The old man looked at Guan Suo and Li Yan, and saw that the two of them were dressed in military uniforms, and suddenly had some guesses in his heart.

"Yes, trouble the old owner." Sekiso arched his hand.

"It's all right, I see you're hungry too," said the old farmer, smiling a little weakly, turning his head and saying, "Go and give them a hot meal." ”

"Yes, sir." The next man went down.

The old farmer said, "You better eat a little and then go to sleep." ”

"Thank you, owner!"

……

Soon, the meal was served.

As for the twenty soldiers, they were entertained. Seeing that the food came up, Guan Suo and Li Yan thanked the old owner again, and the two sat down to eat.

"You can just eat some leftovers to make do with it, and there is no wine, I can't help you." The old farmer said apologetically.

Guan Suo hurriedly said: "Owner, this is already very good. ”

Half a day.

"Major General, the food is gone."

Li Yangang, who had just eaten two bowls of rice, wanted to serve rice again, and when he looked again, the rice in the bucket had bottomed out.

There are not many sincere meals prepared, Guan Suo and Li Yan have eaten almost two bowls of food by themselves, and they are already gone. Two bowls of rice, for Guan Suo before the crossing, can eat at least eight points full, but now...... Both of them are martial artists, and the amount of food is correspondingly large, and the two bowls of rice have just been cushioned.

Seeing this, the old farmer sighed and did not speak.

Guan Suo could only smile bitterly in his heart, after all, he was a guest, and he couldn't complain about anything, so he could only say: "I'm sorry, owner, the two of us have been running around for a day, and the water and rice have no teeth, and it is another martial artist, so this belly is a little bigger...... Sorry, we were rude. ”

The old farmer raised his hand to stop Guan Suo and said, "Little general, the old man didn't mean that. I feel uncomfortable in my heart, because there is an unpleasant thing in the village, and even the people in the village are in no mood to make a fire and cook, so I can only take some leftover food to entertain you...... If you want to say that it is rude, it is also an old man. ”
