Zhang Yonghe watched Mr. Zhao go away, standing still, his face changed and changed, as if he thought of something, he became relaxed again, turned around and ran back and shouted loudly: "The Liao army has arrived in Hengshui!" Erlang quickly pulled the car into the city, Dalang quickly picked up the burden and left, it should be too late, I will go home first to pack up the money and belongings! ”

"Daddy! Wait......" Zhang Yue hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his father, and said anxiously: "Send meat to Dongzhuang another day!" Now that the situation is critical, let's go ahead and avoid it, and we'll talk about it later......"

"That's not going to work! The old lady of the Zhang family passed away, waiting to send meat to the funeral banquet! You can't mistake other people's affairs, Hengshui is north of the Hulu River, and the Liao army can't cross the river, so it can't be there today. Zhang Yonghe immediately denied it.

"Hey...... Isn't it dangerous for the Liao army to come! Just make it clear to Zhang Lizheng in the future, he will definitely not blame him......"

With a snap, Zhang Yue was slapped on the head, and the father was still puzzled and began to teach a lesson.

"Nonsense! How dare you quibble, you wicked, remember it for me! No matter what kind of line you do, you have to talk about credibility, and I still expect you to pass on this ancestral craft! Look at Mr. Zhao, that's a state official, if someone asks him, can he deal with it? Although I am a butcher and a man and a worker, no one in these ten miles and eight villages can afford to look down on me as a common man, even if he is a big official like Mr. Zhao. ”

It's strange to be able to look down on you...... Zhang Yue slandered in his heart, but he was helpless.

"What's the grind? Hurry up, hurry up, go away! Daddy shouted and ran home. He was tall, with big shoulders and a round waist, and he ran with a rattling foot, and his clothes hunted.

Zhang Yue was very helpless to pick up a basket and walked quickly to the north. The second brother held on to the handlebar of the board and shouted: "Brother go early and return early, be careful on the road......"

Zhang Yue ignored it, threw off the stride and hurried away, just wanted to hurry to Dongzhuang to finish the matter and return to Jizhou City, otherwise he would be alone and really meet the Liao army, and it would be a big trouble.

This is a plain area, and the official road is lined with fields on both sides, and after the autumn harvest, only piles of withered yellow poles remain in the fields. At this time, the sky was bright, the sun was out, the morning fog had cleared, and there was no place to hide.

This load of meat is more than 100 catties, the weight is not light, Zhang Yue has never picked such a heavy thing at all, he is not used to it, and he is anxious, he runs all the way fast, and he is soon sweating profusely, but he does not dare to stop and rest, for fear of delaying time.

Fifteen miles of road is equivalent to seven kilometers, not far and not close, at the beginning of the time, the sun has climbed into the air, three miles away from the official road, under the cover of bare trees, Dongzhuang is already in sight.

Seeing from a distance that the smoke in the village was not dispersed, quietly, and there was no sound of chickens and dogs barking, Zhang Yue was a little surprised in his heart, his pace couldn't help but slow down, and he carefully observed everything around him, but he didn't find anything abnormal, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and turned to the fork in the road.

As I got closer, I heard the voices of people, and on the archway at the head of the village, there was an old man with his hands tied, and a large group of sergeants with helmets and armor and guns and knives were surrounded on the ground, and several officers on horseback were laughing and whipping the old man for fun.

It's Liao Bing! Zhang Yue was taken aback in his heart, put down his burden and turned to run, but it was too late. Forty or fifty steps ahead, in the grass on the side of the road, two Liao soldiers in armor and knives suddenly drilled out of the road, and aimed their bows and arrows at him.

Zhang Yue was startled, stopped his steps, and instinctively raised his hands. At such a close distance, he didn't dare to play any dodge, it was purely looking for death. I only hated that I was just staring at the village and not paying attention to the roadside.

"Boom......" The sound of breaking through the air sounded, and a black and white feather arrow flew with a white shadow and nailed it to the gap between Zhang Yue's feet, which frightened him all over, and suddenly became nervous, and he was eager to think of a way out.

A Liao army sentry on the left sneered, as if he didn't intend to let him go, and then pulled an arrow from the quiver behind his back and put it on the bowstring, aiming it at him again. Zhang Yue is also a veteran, and he hates others pointing guns at him the most, and bows and arrows naturally feel the same.

Grass! Zhang Yue was furious, but he didn't dare to act rashly, and scolded secretly in his heart: There is a kind of you come over and see how my brother plays you to death!

Unfortunately, the Liao army sentry was very alert, the other looked at him a few times, said a few words to the other person, turned around and walked to a basket that Zhang Yue put on the road, stepped forward and pulled out the scimitar, picked up the burlap covered with it, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise and laughed.

Zhang Yue didn't understand what he shouted, but he also guessed, because the famous sentry who was holding a bow and arrow pointed at him also laughed, and at the same time, the right hand that drew the bow slowly loosened the string and turned his head to look at the basket.

Golden opportunity! Fight! Zhang Yue suddenly ran over to one side, and the Liao army sentry heard the footsteps, immediately turned his head in shock, and hurriedly pulled his bow and shot an arrow, but Zhang Yue was already on guard, rolled forward and dodged, jumped up from the ground, flew and punched hard, hitting the bridge of the sentry's nose.

This guy couldn't stand the force, he fell heavily on his back, and he probably felt a roar in his ears, the earth was turning, there were many stars, and his nose was also blooming with red flowers. It turns out that the flowers are so red, they are really not too beautiful.

Zhang Yue didn't care about him, and immediately ran to another, the sentry was still looking at the meat twenty or thirty steps away, and turned around when he heard the movement, but instead of shooting his bow and arrows, he shouted a few times, drew his knife and pounced.

Play with knives with me? Zhang Yue sneered, rushed forward and twisted his waist sideways, avoiding the scimitar that slashed down diagonally, and made a move to "push the window and look at the moon", his left hand crossed the chest and crossed the half circle outside, grabbed his wrist and buckled the vein, and hit his heart with a heavy punch with his right hand.

The sentry leaned forward involuntarily, snorted, and the stinky saliva sprayed his face, most of the steppe people don't brush their teeth, only the nobles will pay attention to a little, it's disgusting to think about. Zhang Yue took advantage of the situation to bend his knees and squat and spin in half a circle, and grabbed the sentry's arm to make a ferocious "over-the-shoulder fall".

With a bang, the sentry was thrown straight to the ground, and the ground was dusty, and it was estimated that his heart was swollen, and he fell apart, and he couldn't get up for a while.

The movement here was too big, alarming the Liao army under the archway at the entrance of the village, and an officer on horseback shouted and shouted several times, and came at a trot with a group of cavalry horses.

Zhang Yue was shocked, turned around and spread his feet and ran away, but he only had two legs after all, and his short-distance explosiveness was okay, and the speed of the war horse was raised, and he would soon catch up with him, only a hundred paces away.

The official road is very flat, suitable for war horses to gallop, but people do not have to choose the road. Zhang Yue decisively rushed into the dry land opposite, although his feet were soft, and he felt a little unable to use his strength, but the impact was not great, and it was much better to land on the soles of his feet without using his toes.

Even on the beach, he can still run fast, what kind of stumbling feet, really where to start.

But the war horse is different, stepping on the soft ground, it is easy to break its feet and hooves. If the speed is too fast, the front and rear hooves will fall to the ground in groups, and once the horse's hooves sink into the soil, it will encounter obstacles when pulling up, and it will directly turn its heels.

Although this possibility is unlikely, this is what Zhang Yue is looking forward to, because he heard that the soldiers of the Liao army cherish the war horses very much, as long as they drag on for a while, the Liao army will lose war horses again, and they may not be relentless.
