After passing through Xia County, then to Pinglu, from Pinglu into Henan.

The situation has changed somewhat, there are more and more homeless people on the official road, and these homeless people, when they look at the people on horseback passing by, their eyes are full of hatred, which makes Su Tiancheng feel cold.

The idea of hating the rich, he is not ignorant of the Tao.

More than ten days later, the group arrived in Kaifeng, Henan, which was also the end of Su Tiancheng's travels.

Su Tiancheng's mood was very bad, the homeless people he saw along the road left a deep impression on him, although he followed the official road, the accommodation was in the county seat or market town, but the traces of war could still be seen along the road, each county seat, or the prefecture city, there were sergeants from the inspection department at the gate of the city, and the inventory was very strict. On the official road, sergeants can occasionally be seen.

After seeing too many homeless people, Su Tiancheng's heart was also a little numb, he had no way, it was impossible to help these homeless people, the peasants left the land, left the homeland they relied on to survive, basically there was no way to live, these homeless people, the end was to join the ranks of the peasant rebel army, and became the so-called rogue of the imperial court, or starved to death.

It's already the end of April, and the climate is slowly getting warmer.

Kaifeng is known as the ancient capital of the Ten Dynasties, the capital of the Seven Dynasties, is the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and is now the provincial capital of Henan.

When you arrive in Kaifeng, two places are a must-go, Xiangguo Temple and Bao Gong Temple.

Qu Qingze accompanied Su Tiancheng and went to Xiangguo Temple and Bao Gong Temple, he had already found that Su Tiancheng's mood was not very good, maybe he saw too many homeless people on the road, and it was not a good situation to see so many homeless people in the busy farming season.

Originally, Ji Lu planned to stay in Kaifeng for three days, but after only one day, Qu Qingze decided to leave.

Su Tiancheng did not object, and the rest of the people would not say anything.

Early in the morning, everyone left Kaifeng City and went to the official road, after these days, everyone's cooperation has been very tacit, no need to say more, they all know what to do.

The journey back was much faster, from Kaifeng to Zhengzhou, 80 kilometers, and it took only one day.

Returning to Luoyang from Zhengzhou, more than 200 miles, close to 300 miles, it was only a little more than a day.

Luoyang to Pinglu is the longest distance, continuous travel, everyone is a little tired, Qu Qingze suggested slowing down, with two days, to Pinglu. When I arrived in Pinglu, I returned to Shanxi and entered the place under the jurisdiction of Pingyang Prefecture.

After a good night's rest, everyone recuperated and left Luoyang and rushed to Pinglu.

After walking for about an hour, Qu Qingze suddenly made a gesture, this gesture made everyone start to get nervous, Qu Qingze made a fist gesture towards the back, which means that there is a group of people who have noticed this line.

Su Tiancheng was a little nervous, he was about to leave Henan, and he was actually targeted, but this is the junction of Henan and Shanxi, which is also too bad luck.

Being targeted by others, it doesn't mean that it's over if you leave quickly, the people who are staring at you will always follow and find an opportunity to start, if you are targeted by bandits, it will be even more troublesome.

Qu Qingze's experience is very rich, and what can make him alert is definitely not an ordinary person.

Qu Qingze made a gesture again, the meaning of this gesture was to tell everyone to slow down and get off the horse and rest.

As soon as Su Tiancheng got off the horse, Qu Qingze came to his side.

"Brother, we may be in big trouble."

Su Tiancheng is a little strange, who would be eyeing him, there are so many people in the group, all riding Mongolian horses, and they look unusual.

"What's going on?"

"There are three people, on horseback, who have been following us, I have observed, since they left Luoyang City, they have been following us, judging from their performance, they are quite like scouts in the army."

Su Tiancheng frowned, how could there be scouts staring at them, with scouts, it means that there is an army nearby, if this group of people meets the army, they will not be able to escape the robbery.

"No, we're all going to leave Henan, nothing has happened for so long, if you want to say that it's the army of the imperial court, it's even more impossible, we have a quote from Pingyang Mansion."

"Well, I've also thought about it, this group of people will not be the army of the imperial court, it may be rogues who are active here, or bandits."

"It's strange, among the bandits, are there scouts?"

"There's nothing strange about this, bandits or rogues will send scouts, or spies, to the city to observe, they may have paid attention to us last night, not to mention others, more than a dozen horses, enough for them to be red-eyed."

"Big brother, I'll listen to your arrangement."

"Well, we have to control these three people, their main target is on you, I believe they can also see it, you are the core of the team, as long as you are caught, all the problems are solved, we must capture all three people, we can't let them run away."

"No problem, I should do it."

"I'll take everyone away, and leave Wang Dazhi and Su Jun by your side, so that those three people will definitely have ideas and attack you."

Su Tiancheng understood, he was used as a bait to lure the three people to take the bait, if Qu Qingze took a few people to chase, these scouts would definitely run fast, if they went back to report, attracting a large number of bandits or rogues, things would be out of control.

The best way is to capture all three of them, and the key link is that you must be able to deal with it, and you must not let the other party catch it, otherwise you will lose one move and lose the whole game.

Qu Qingze left with most of the people, and Su Tiancheng was by his side, leaving Wang Dazhi and Su Jun.

Wang Dazhi was like a great enemy, and Su Tiancheng had to tell him to calm down and pretend that there was nothing going on.

Only a few minutes later, there was the sound of horses' hooves, Su Tiancheng squinted, looked at the official road, three vague shadows appeared, more and more clear, it can already be seen, these three people are wearing turbans on their heads, their faces are covered with black cloth, and when they get closer, Su Tiancheng even saw their greedy eyes.

The speed and strength of the cavalry impact was amazing, which was also the advantage of the cavalry.

Su Tiancheng has already dismounted, even if they have great ability, it is impossible to deal with the three people who rushed over, if these three people want to take his life, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist, but he and Qu Qingze have already analyzed, these three people will not kill people recklessly, their purpose is to capture themselves alive and get greater benefits.

Sure enough, the speed of the three slowed down, and when they were not far away, they stopped, and they pulled out the bright big knife from their backs.

"Young master, get on the horse, these people are bandits, who specialize in robbery."

Su Jun spoke, looking a little panicked.

The three people on horseback laughed at the same time.

"Boy, if you want to run, is it so easy, grandpa has been staring at you for a long time, get acquainted, hand over all your belongings, grandpa is in a good mood, and he won't take your life."

Su Tiancheng didn't move, Wang Dazhi concentrated his energy, standing next to Su Tiancheng, Su Jun's body trembled a little.

Seeing this situation, the three people on the opposite side became even more unscrupulous, and one of them carried the reins and rode to a place three meters away from Su Tiancheng.

"Boy, didn't you hear what Grandpa said?"

Su Tiancheng almost didn't think about it, and took out an ingot of gold from his body, and one ingot of gold was 10 taels.

"That's all I have on me, take it, don't hurt our lives......"

When the three people on the horse saw the gold, their eyes were green, and they didn't think of anything else at all.

You must know that the person who can take out the gold has an extraordinary family background, if he can capture this kid alive, extort a sum of silver, and then do other things, he will not violate the agreement.

The three of them surrounded Su Tiancheng and the other three from three directions, and they believed that they had earned it this time.

Su Tiancheng would never hand the gold directly to the three of them, it was very dangerous to do that, and if one of them caught him, it would be troublesome.

He stood still, and Wang Dazhi had already walked in front of him.

The three of them were a little impatient when they saw such a situation, they often did such things, and it was not the first time they had seen such a scene, the young man must have been frightened, this was the best opportunity, if he waited until the people around the young man came back, it would definitely be difficult to deal with.

As for what those people are leaving, I don't care for the time being.

One of the people on horseback nodded, motioning for the people around him to dismount and go to capture Su Tiancheng.

Finally, a man dismounted, handed the reins to another masked man, and walked slowly, he was very vigilant, and kept looking around, this is the official road, maybe someone will pass by.

The masked man was already close at hand, Su Tiancheng believed that Qu Qingze and the rest of the people must be watching nearby, next to the official road, there are a lot of trees, stay in the trees, others can't see it.

He was a little surprised, there was almost no sound around, it seemed that Qu Qingze really had the ability, with so many people, he was able to keep quiet.

The masked man was about to walk in front of Su Tiancheng, and his greedy eyes were unobstructed.

The masked man held a bright steel knife in one hand, and reached over with one hand, preparing the gold in Su Tiancheng's hand.

Wang Dazhi, who was beside him, was about to move, but was stopped by Su Tiancheng with his eyes.

The masked man finally got the gold, and his body relaxed a little, which was a golden opportunity.

Su Tiancheng gave a look, Wang Dazhi moved, he grabbed the masked man's left arm, moved to the side of the masked man, arched his right leg, and pressed the masked man's left arm to the top of his right leg, which was just aimed at the joint, and a crisp sound came out, accompanied by a scream, the masked man's left arm had been dislocated.

This trick was learned from Su Tiancheng, but Wang Dazhi showed it and became more skilled.
