The rain had long since stopped, and the morning sun poked its head out.

The red glow reflected the morning light, dispelling the mist condensed at night, and the Shangcai City Gate also slowly opened in a glow.

Two fast horses galloped out of the west gate and ran all the way to Lugang.

On horseback, it was Yuan Xu and Zhu Gongdao.

Lugang, located in the west of Shangcai City, is known as a scenic spot.

Yuan Xu went out of the city this time, but he didn't go for a famous spot!

He has only one purpose, to meet with Ma's uncle and nephew, know the benefits, and do his best to turn enemies into friends!

Knowing full well that it wasn't easy, he had to do it!

It is not feasible to rectify the rule of Cai Yanzhi, although the huge Yuan family is relied on, it is definitely not a backing!

When Shangcai caused an incident, Yuan Xu had no doubt that Yuan Shao would abandon him and take care of the so-called overall situation!

He is just a chess piece, a chess piece that is unwilling to be at the mercy of others, but can only be taken by people on the chessboard!

The only way out for him to change all this is to ......

Yuan Xu is gambling!

Bet that he can find a place in the troubled times and find a place to live!

The horses galloped, and after more than half an hour, a continuous mountain appeared in front of Yuan Xu's eyes.

The mountains are not very high, and there is no end in sight to the layers.

"It's coming!" Pointing forward, Zhu Gongdao said: "Ahead is Lugang!" ”

"It will take at least half an hour to watch the mountain run a dead horse!" Urging the horse to speed up and gallop, Yuan Xu responded.

The wind whistled past my ears.

Yuan Xu, who was galloping on a horse, only felt a faint pain in his cheeks.

Getting closer and closer to Lugang, they could already see the foot of the mountain in the distance, and Yuan Xu and Zhu Gongdao pulled the reins almost at the same time.

Two fast horses stood up and let out a long neigh.

The front hooves of the horses had not yet landed, and more than a dozen men jumped out of the roadside.

The man who rushed out held a wooden stick with a sharpened end and surrounded the two of them.

"Presumptuous!" glared at them, and Zhu Gong shouted angrily: "A certain and Ma Fei and Ma Yi have a word first, and today I accompanied Shangcai's new county lieutenant to come to the meeting, so this is how you are waiting for guests?" ”

"The little general said, but all Shangcai officials can be killed!" A man raised his face and shouted to Zhu Gongdao.

"Whew!" spit and scolded: "Ma Yi didn't have a few hairs under his crotch, what do you know about good or bad?" A certain person came today to look for a horse and fly ......"

"Brother Justice!" Before he finished scolding, an unhurried voice came from the side of the road: "What are the little ones doing if they don't open their eyes?" If you hurt people at the exit, you are not afraid of ruining the friendship I have been waiting for for the past two years? ”

Following the sound of talking, Yuan Xu saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy carrying a big knife and jumping onto the big stone on the side of the road.

He didn't know the boy, but the boy knew him!

In Shangcai City, if Ma Fei hadn't stopped him, Ma Yi, who didn't like Yuan Xu very well, would have already attacked him.

Crossing his waist, Ma Yi shouted at Zhu Gongdao: "If Brother Justice and the new county lieutenant have anything to say, just say it here." ”

Glancing at him, Yuan Xu took the reins, turned the horse's head and greeted him: "Let's go back." ”

"Childe...... It's already ......" It took a whole day to persuade Ma's uncle and nephew to meet Yuan Xu, and he was about to leave as soon as he arrived here, and Zhu Justice was embarrassed.

"I have heard for a long time that Ma's uncle and nephew are righteous, and they have not committed any crimes against the people, but only kill corrupt officials and evil officials." didn't look at Ma Yi anymore, Yuan Xu said: "I was disappointed when I saw it today!" There is no need to talk about a certain plan! ”

What Yuan Xu said angered Ma Yi.

Jumping down from the stone, he put the big knife in front of him to block Yuan Xu's way, and asked with a raised face, "What does the county lieutenant mean?" Is it a provocation? ”

"What is a provocation?" The corners of his mouth tugged, and Yuan Xu said with a strange smile: "Pity your uncle and nephew who think they are heroes, and they were framed and carried by the black cauldron, but they don't know it......"

"Who dares to frame the two of us?" Ma Yi was young after all, and Yuan Xu's words were agitated, which immediately made him angry, and poked the handle of the knife to the ground: "Go and chop him!" ”

Ma Yi stood in front of Yuan Xu's horse, and Zhu Gongdao did not dare to slack off with a copper stick.

has a close relationship with Ma's uncle and nephew, and he doesn't want to offend the two easily!

It is safe to allow Yuan Xu to walk with him, and I wish justice must fulfill my promise!

"Yesterday, six poor people in the city were killed, I don't know if Uncle Xian knows?" Looking at Ma Yi, Yuan Xu pretended to ask mysteriously.

"What if you know? I haven't waited for it, so why don't I still plant it on my head? Ma Yi looked disdainful, obviously not taking this matter to heart.

More than a dozen men who surrounded Yuan Xu and Zhu Justice pointed at them with simple wooden spears.

The actions of the men made Zhu Justice very unhappy.

His brows furrowed, and he asked Ma Yi angrily: "Since we met, why are we tense?" ”

"So-and-so is waiting for him to speak!" His eyes stayed on Yuan Xu's face, and Ma Yi casually replied with a word of justice!

"You ......" pointed at him, Zhu Gong was about to attack, Yuan Xu spoke.

"Virtuous uncles and nephews may not have taken it to heart, but those who have a heart have already planted it! Not to mention what their intentions are, to attract the army to come to encircle and suppress on this ground, with a few men and horses here, I am afraid that they will not be able to deal with it......"

"You're threatening so-and-so?"

is unhappy in his heart, and Ma Yi's words reveal a faint murderous intention!

"Don't be rude!" The atmosphere grew tense, and a voice was heard on the side of the road.

After the shouting, several people came out of the bushes on the side of the road.

The first person was a middle-aged man who had been to Shangcai, but Yuan Xu didn't pay attention to him at that time and had no impression.

The man held a spear in his hand, and when he came to Yuan Xu's approach, he clasped his fists and saluted and said: "There is the county lieutenant of Lao in person, how much neglect, and I hope to forgive my sins!" ”

"Uncle......" Ma Fei was so respectful to Yuan Xu, Ma Yi became more and more unhappy in his heart.

Stopping him, Ma Fei said to Yuan Xu: "This is not the place to speak, please go up the mountain to talk about it!" ”

"There is labor to lead the way!" returned a salute, Yuan Xu is neither humble nor arrogant!

Ma's uncle and nephew personally led the way, and a group of men followed.

was caught in the middle by everyone, and Zhu Gong was a little nervous.

In terms of fighting alone, Ma Fei and Ma Yi are not his opponents.

The uncle and nephew were killed together, and he was also sure of victory, but he had no time to deal with the men who followed behind.

is different, Yuan Xu's demeanor is calm, not like going deep into the thief's lair, but like visiting an old friend, and gossiping with Ma Fei about Cai along the way.

The intersection was not far from the hillside, and it didn't take long for everyone to reach the bottom of the mountain.

Turning over and dismounting, Yuan Xu asked Ma Fei, "Can you borrow a piece of linen cloth?" ”

didn't understand what he wanted to do with Azabu, but Ma Fei didn't refuse.

With a command to the men, one of them immediately tore off a long strip of cloth from his clothes.

Taking the strip of cloth, Yuan Xu blindfolded it.

"What does the county lieutenant mean by this?" Not understanding why he was like this, Ma Fei asked in amazement.

Not only did he not understand, but everyone, including Zhu Justice and Ma Yi, was at a loss!
