Shi A's home in Meiji City originally belonged to a Han merchant. In last year's Xiongnu riots, the merchant was affected by Chiyu, his family was killed, and his house was occupied by the Huns. Now, after the rearrangement of Shi Ashina's wife's room, the Huyan clan, this two-hall courtyard has regained its comfort and comfort.

When Shi Ah arrived home, Hu Yan was cooking yokan in the kitchen. Hearing Shi A's movement, she was unmoved, still concentrating on cooking food.

Removing his sword and letting the only maid in the house do her own thing, Shi Ah Xin stepped into the kitchen. Looking at Hu Yan who was wearing Xiongnu clothes, he just glanced at himself, still silent, Shi A was not polite, came behind Hu Yan, put one hand into her chest, and said:

"Tomorrow I have to go out again and prepare some dry food."

Hu Yanshi was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Shi A. Shi Ah understood what she meant, and said with a wry smile:

"I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while. It would take a month or two to say the least. ”

Hearing this, Hu Yan put the seasoning into the yokan soup, called the maid to come over and light the fire in the Xiongnu language, turned around and took Shi A's clothes belt, and walked to the bedroom.

Xiongnu customs, women are more open than Han Chinese. Shi Ah obediently followed Hu Yan into the bedroom, and was then pushed down on the bed by Hu Yan.

What happened after that is not enough for outsiders......

After the prostitution was completed during the day, Hu Yan came out of the bedroom wearing only his outer robe, used the Xiongnu dialect, and began to direct the maids to make noodles, baked cakes, and make dry food.

Early the next morning, Shi Ah dragged his body that had been squeezed twice by the Huyan clan to get up. Rao is Shi Ah is young and resilient, and his waist bones are also sore. He led two horses, carrying a change of clothes, dry food and horse materials and a lot of other things, to the south gate of Meiji, and met Zhao Yun.

Traveling with Zhao Yun. In addition to Shi A, there are also two of Zhao Yun's personal guards, and a messenger who is a part-time guide. The group of two horses each, stepped on the east avenue, and ran non-stop towards Taihang Mountain.

The avenues of the Han Dynasty were built on the basis of the Chi Road built during the Qin Dynasty. Expanded from the building. Although in recent years, with the decline of the Han family's national strength and the depletion of financial resources, the investment in the maintenance of the avenue has gradually decreased, it can still allow Zhao Yun and his party to maintain the forward speed of 120 miles a day on the avenue.

Therefore, in just five or six days, the Taihang Mountains, which stretch for thousands of miles, appeared in front of Shi A.

Taihang Mountain is the base camp of insolence. Therefore. When Zhao Yunshi'a and his party came here, most of the vigilance in their hearts immediately disappeared.

In today's world, epidemics are prevalent and famines are continuous. The days of the small people are extremely difficult. The people who can't survive, some of them become homeless, and some of them turn into bandits and road tyrants or something.

For example, Zhao Yun and his group are not many. I just brought so many horses, and at first glance it looked like a fat sheep. Along. There are as many as three gangs that jumped out and tried to rob. With these thieves who took the initiative to come out, Zhao Yun could vent his anger, and Zhao Yun's mood finally improved a lot.

Unexpectedly, many years later, these thieves who were killed by Zhao Yun. It is also an honor to become a role in Zhao Yun's folk tales. There is also a storyteller, based on which he made up a book such as "Yanmen thieves are rampant, and Zhao Yun is angry in Sanzhai".

The general who was appointed by Zhang Qiang and shouldered the great responsibility of staying in Taihang Mountain was a thousand people long Zhoucang. When Zhao Yun met Zhou Cang. The first sentence is:

"Brother Zhou, where is a certain sister?"

"It's really done."

Zhou Cang smiled bitterly and explained:

"Madame insisted on going to preside over the funeral for Lord Zhaobao, but she couldn't, so she had to let her go."

Shi A, who was following behind Zhao Yun, was taken aback.

Since Shi Ah defected to the arrogant subordinates to serve as an assassin, in addition to patrolling the streets to maintain law and order in the city, he also went to the White Wave Valley once.

At that time, Shi Ah was instructed from above to be more familiar with the terrain of the White Wave Valley. Shi Ah thought that he would be assigned some difficult task, such as assassinating Han Xian, or Guo Daxian or something.

Unexpectedly, later, the peak turned around, and the attitude of Bingzhou Taiping Dao towards the Taixing Army became extremely close, and Shi A's sword lost the opportunity to appear.

Now, Shi A has accepted the task assigned by Zhang Qi himself and came to Jizhou. However, if something goes wrong with the arrogant lady during this period, Shi A is worried that he will inevitably be innocently implicated.

Next, Zhou Cang's next sentence made Shi A's heart hang in the air all of a sudden.

"According to the report, the real thief Cao Yan, two days ago, took a hundred and ten people and went straight to Zhaojiabao!"

The thief Cao official mentioned by Zhou Cang is a subordinate of the cronies of Zhending County Order. Since taking office with the Zhending County Decree a year ago, this person has entangled a group of light warriors in the county and severely suppressed the big and small bandits in the county.

Of course, if there is a big family in the countryside and is discovered by this thief, it will inevitably suffer some unwarranted disasters. This person's methods are fierce, and all the people he targets, whether they are thieves or not, have been ruined.

Such a cool official will naturally not be welcomed by the residents of Zhending. However, this thief Cao official is quite discerning, and he usually does not provoke those powerful country tycoons and family families. In this way, those who don't have the strength can't afford to mess with him, and those who have the strength don't need to mess with him, so they actually made the thief Cao Yi a tyrant in the county.

Time rewinds two days ago, the Zhending thief Cao Yan took a group of subordinates, according to the information of his subordinates, and came to the gate of the Zhao family's dock fort.

The team pulled up by the thieves and officials reached more than 100 people, all of whom had weapons and more than 20 pairs of leather armor. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, there will be no more than five local tyrant families capable of fighting against them in Zhending County.

The Zhao family, led by Zhao Feng, is of course one of them. It's just that now Zhao Feng suddenly died, and even the strong men of Zhaojiabao have also lost twenty or thirty people. These elites of the Zhao family were wiped out, and the remnants of the Zhao family's armed forces, both in terms of quantity and quality, could not be compared to the ranks of the thieves and Cao officials.

In the eyes of the thief Cao Yan, the only thing that hindered his group was the fortress wall of Zhaojiabao.

Therefore, when the thief Cao arrived outside the gate of Zhaojiabao, he did not use force directly, but called the door loudly, claiming that he had come to investigate the case of Zhao Feng's murder a month ago.

It's just that when they saw the thieves and Cao Yan's group, one by one with knives and guns, the Zhao family was not stupid, and they would not open the door easily. For the group of uninvited guests of the thief Cao Yan, he can only let the current head of the Zhao family decide how to deal with it.

In addition to Zhao Feng, the Zhao clan also has several men of the same generation. However, the current Zhao family, the real speaker, is a woman, a married woman.

-- The main room of the arrogant captain of Taihang, Mrs. Zhang, whose name is "Xiaoyu", Zhao Yu.

According to local customs, within a clan, it is not the turn of a female generation to speak in any case. However, over the years, the Zhao family has benefited a lot by helping the Taixing army buy grain from Jizhou at a high price. In addition, coupled with the official position of the "school captain" of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Yu, as an arrogant wife, wants to suppress those Zhao clansmen who can only be called "Bai Ding", which is really more than enough.

Zhao Yu was wearing filial piety clothes and was keeping a vigil in the mourning hall with his sister-in-law, little sister, nephews and nieces. Hearing the news of the evil guest outside the castle, Zhao Yu asked the general situation, his phoenix eyes widened, and he scolded in a low voice:

"Where did you come from, dare to come to my Zhao clan to spread wild?!"

She stood up from the mat and said to the maid beside her:

"Fetch my spear!"

"Xiaoyu, ...... are you?"

Zhao Feng's surviving people were a little uneasy.

"Sister-in-law, my little sister will go back as soon as she goes, don't let people disturb my brother's mourning hall!"

The sister-in-law wants to talk and rest. She is a little weak, but she knows that Zhao Yu is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside. Thinking that if her husband was alive, what kind of "thief Cao Official", she would never dare to bully the Zhao family, and she couldn't help but feel sad again, and faintly shed tears.

Looking at Zhao Yu again, carrying a spear, he came to the fort, glanced at the people around him, and said lightly:

"The guards follow, the rest are behind, open the door, I'll fight!"

"No!"

The one who spoke was one of Zhao Yu's uncles, the one with the largest generation in the Zhao family.

"The other party is a government official, our Zhao family, we will have to beg for a living in Zhending in the future, how can we easily offend the government?"

Hearing this, many members of the Zhao clan expressed their approval. After all, Zhao Yu is a woman, if it is a funeral hospitality, it doesn't hurt for everyone to listen to her instructions. However, if you want to take the Zhao clan to fight and kill people, the other members of the Zhao clan will inevitably begin to retreat.

Hearing the elders say this, Zhao Yu's face turned red. However, Zhao Yu can't blame others for this. After all, even when the eldest brother Zhao Feng was in charge, the Zhao family was only secretly in contact with the Taixing Army. On the surface, the Zhao family is the standard obedient people in front of the government.

No matter how assertive Zhao Yu is, he can't be unreasonable to his mother's family.

Just when there was a difference of opinion among the members of the Zhao clan, a "squeak" sound suddenly came from the direction of the gate of the dock fort. Someone turned his head to look over there, and immediately exclaimed loudly:

"The door is open! The door is open! Someone's opening the door! (To be continued......)
