48. Close combat
Xiang Liangsi's grange is hidden in a forest.
Although this lush forest is not large, the trees are very old, and there are even many ancient trees that have grown for nearly 100 years.
"My small village is more than 300 acres in total, half of the irrigated land and half of the dry land on the slope...... The road is a little difficult to walk, Da Lang should be careful. ”
Maybe it was because of the rain yesterday, the road was muddy, Zhou Quan was a little dissatisfied with this, if he really bought this Zhuangzi, this road would have to be thought of. It is not very useful to only drag the loess to pave the way, at least to pull some sand and gravel. But the left side of the Beijing division is near, there are few mountains, and in the Bianhe River of the Yellow River, there is mostly mud, and the sand and gravel have to be transported from afar.
Xiang Liangsi was originally riding a donkey, but at this time he got off his mount and came over to hold Zhou Quan's mule reins, as if he was afraid that the mule would miss its hooves.
Seeing that Xiang Liangji was so attentive, Zhou Quan laughed secretly in his heart, this guy was too eager to sell Zhuangzi.
At this moment, in that dense forest, something reflected the light, which happened to be reflected in Zhou Quan's eyes.
Zhou Quan squinted, and when he looked there, he faintly saw the figure of a person.
"Who are those?" Zhou Quan asked casually.
Xiang Liangsi led his mule, glanced at it when he heard it, and then replied: "It is the villager on my village, and my villager, I have more than ten households." ”
With his words, he also waved his hand, and seven or eight people came out of the forest in twos and threes.
The leader was tall and looked very honest, followed by a small guy beside him, with beautiful eyebrows, staring at Zhou Quan and smiling from afar.
Zhou Quan didn't care at first, but seeing these people gradually approaching, he didn't greet Xiang Lianghe, just stared at himself, and felt a little strange in his heart.
Seeing this strange situation, the good heir took the reins and took him there: "Zhou Dalang, there has been a lot of delay along the way, let's go to my village and have a look." ”
Xiang Liangsi's actions finally aroused Zhou Quan's vigilance.
Although Zhou Quan himself does not think of himself as a teenager, but in appearance, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his father is still the one who speaks at home.
"Master Xiang, please wait, I have to wait for someone more." Zhou Quan said.
As he spoke, he gave Du Gou'er a look at the dog beside him.
Du Gou'er was at a loss, he was entrusted by Zhou Fu to be a companion with Zhou Quan, but neither he nor Zhou Fu had ever suspected Xiang Lianghei introduced by this acquaintance.
"Uncle Dog, do you remember what happened in Socky Alley?" Seeing this situation, Zhou Quan said.
When he said this, Du Gou'er came back to his senses: "Remember! ”
Only a few of them know about the black eating and killing of Manichaeism in the socks alley, and it has always been a taboo that is not allowed to be mentioned. Zhou Quan brought it up in front of Xiang Liangsi at this time, which immediately made Du Gou'er more vigilant.
Du Gou'er looked back and found that behind them, at some point, there were seven or eight more people. These seven or eight people should have been outflanked from both sides, and they have not yet been encircled.
"Xiang Lianghe!"
Seeing this situation, Du Gou'er did not hesitate, and gave Xiang Liangji a punch.
Xiang Liangsi was beaten to the ground, but he didn't let go of the reins, but shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, they see through it!" ”
Bang!
Du Gou'er raised his feet, kicked Xiang Liangji over, snatched the reins from his hand, and threw them into Zhou Quan's hands: "Da Lang, go quickly!" ”
At this time, the honest look on the face of the honest man was gone, replaced by hideousness, and he was rushing at full speed with his men.
And the little guy next to him is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he moves faster than him!
Kicking Xiang Liangji again, Du Gou'er took out a short knife from his sleeve and went up to meet those people.
Those people also had blades in their hands, and Zhou Quan only turned the mule head at this time!
The fastest guy has rushed to Zhou Quan's face, got up and wanted to pounce Zhou Quan off the back of the mule, Du Gou'er pulled it away, but it was empty, he chased after him and picked up the knife to chop it down, but when it happened, the knife was blocked by the honest man.
"Some strength!" The honest man didn't put Du Gou'er in his eyes, and he was chopped off by this knife, and he almost got rid of the blade in his hand, he saw that his little guy had already pounced on the mule, and Du Gou'er pounced on him like a mad dog, so he gave up and continued to move forward, but fought with Du Gou'er.
"To live!" This guy is strong in martial arts, Du Gou'er is a good man, he is fighting, and he still has the strength to shout.
"Don't worry, it must be alive!"
The little guy screamed and strangled Zhou Quan's neck, about to throw Zhou Quan off the mule.
But suddenly he felt a pain in his ribs, but fortunately he reacted quickly, took the initiative to bend his body, and fell off the mule. If he hadn't rolled in the mud a few times, he would have almost been trampled by a mule.
"This guy has a short soldier in his hand!" The little guy screamed in pain, and although he dodged the fatal stab, he was still stabbed in the ribs, and although the injury was not serious, it made him grin in pain.
"Break through, Uncle Dog!"
Zhou Quan's cold gaze just swept over the little guy, and after hiding the dagger in his sleeve, he clamped the mule's abdomen, and the mule screamed and began to run away.
It was only under the mud that the mule stumbled and almost slipped, and the little guy on the ground got up at this time, covered his ribs with one hand, and stabbed the dagger into the mule's buttocks with the other.
The mule was in pain, rushed forward, broke free from the mud, and ran away.
"Chase after him, he can't run far!" Seeing this, the honest man shouted. The few people who were originally going to besiege Du Gou'er with him all bypassed the battle group and chased after Zhou Quan.
Even the little guy limped in the direction of the mule.
Only the honest man was entangled by Du Gou'er. Fang was the one who pestered Du Gou, and now it was Du Gou'er pestering him.
If they can't catch Zhou Quan, their plan will go bankrupt this time, and killing a mere Du Gouer will not get much reward from Jia Yi.
"Don't let him go!" Thinking of this, the honest man's face was churning with anger, he sold a flaw, kicked Du Gou'er over the head, and then turned around and chased after him.
This time, Du Gou'er didn't pester him again, but flew up and kicked Xiang Liangji, who was watching the excitement next to him, down again.
The short knife swept fiercely across Xiang Liangsi's neck, and the guy fell to the ground without a struggle.
After killing this person, Du Gou'er chased after the honest man. He is very experienced, he is not in a hurry to get closer, and always keeps a certain distance.
That man's skills, to beat him, Du Gou'er judged that even if it was Zhou Fu, he could only have a slight advantage!
Zhou Quan rode a mule and ran wildly, he had no riding skills at all, and only relied on holding the mule's neck tightly to prevent it from falling. The mule was wounded in the buttocks, frightened again, and after running two or three miles, he stopped without stopping.
Because the mules were not running fast, the more than ten men were still trying to catch up.
Seeing that the enemy was still chasing behind him, Zhou Quan jumped off the mule and ran away.
There are trees and willows on the way, pedestrians are scarce, and I don't know how the other party found such a small village to set up an ambush. Zhou Quan had called for help a few times, but it was only in vain, he thought to himself, there was no one on this road, but there must be someone on the side of the Bianhe River.
Therefore, he ran towards the embankment of the Bianhe River, fortunately, he often exercised, and his running speed was not slow, and the distance between the few people behind him and him was getting farther and farther away.
Seeing this situation, Du Gou'er was relieved, he knew that he was by himself alone, and he was by no means the opponent of the other party, so he ran out on the side, wanting to rush ahead of the head, go back to report the news first, and then bring someone to clean up this group of bandits.
When the gang of strongmen saw that they couldn't catch up and were discouraged, suddenly, two people came out from behind the tree in front of them and knocked Zhou Quan down!
Even the strong men never thought that there would be two people coming out of here, and they couldn't help but stop.
"Boy, this credit belongs to our brother!"
"Little crumb, you can't be arrogant this time!"
The two people who held Zhou Quan were Xiong Da Xiong Er, and at this time, their faces were full of excited smiles.
Jia Yi offered a very high reward, only capturing Zhou Quan, and going to Jia Yi for a few hundred yuan, enough for their brothers to go to Xijing or where to live happily for a while.
As for Zhou Fu's investigation, we have to wait for Zhou Fu to avoid Jia Yi's conspiracy, but it really can't be done, and it can be pushed to the head of this group of strongmen.
Seeing the two brothers Xiong Daxiong, Zhou Quan immediately understood who the mastermind of this ambush was.
He wanted the lives of the Jia family's father and son, and the Jia family's father and son would also not let him go, but Zhou Quan never thought that the other party would use such a means as buying a strongman.
"Xiong Da Xiong Er, do you know why my father can be an official, because I gave the snow sugar recipe to the hidden phase, which is worth millions of snow sugar!" Zhou Quan lowered his voice and said.
At this time, those who were chasing were still a hundred feet away, and they were still far away, and Xiong Da Xiong Er heard this, and his body was shocked.
If someone else said this, they only thought it was bragging, but when Zhou Quan said this, the two of them were convinced.
"What do you mean?"
"Five thousand guan, buy the two of you and let me go for one way, and then five thousand guan, buy the two of you to denounce Jia Yi!" Zhou Quan said.
If the two brothers Xiong Daxiong didn't have a lot of handles in Jia Yi's hands, they were afraid that they would agree immediately!
After all, this is more than the reward that Jia Yi gave to the Zhou family.
Just thinking of those handles, even if Jia Yi is finished, their brothers are only afraid that they will die in Kaifeng Mansion, and Zhou Quan's promise of 10,000 yuan, who knows if they can get it!
"Boy, if grandpa wants to embarrass you, 10,000 guan is too far away from grandpa, and it is more appropriate to get 500 guan...... Accept your fate! Xiong swallowed and finally responded.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard his brother suddenly scream, and rolled to the side holding his lower abdomen!
However, it was Zhou Quan who took the opportunity of their hesitation to move the dagger hidden in his sleeve to the appropriate position and directly stabbed Xiong Er.
Since he was stopped by Xiong Da Xiong Er in Baijia Lane that day, Zhou Quan has a dagger hidden in his body, and he just assassinated Xiao Yi, and now he has hit Xiong Er hard, which is really a great achievement.
Xiong Da Xiong Er also has short soldiers on his body, but they want to capture Zhou Quan alive, but they didn't take it out, when Xiong Da wanted to dig it out, Zhou Quan's whole person crashed into his arms, and then Xiong Da only felt a pain in his ribs, and the qi and blood of the whole person seemed to leak out of the pain, and he had no more strength!
