On the road to Yecheng, Guo Jia and Xu Shu rode horses together, and the family affairs were handed over to Xi Zhicai and Zuo Ci, which made the Guo family very relieved, Xi Zhicai was talented and did things without leakage, Zuo Ci's martial arts are rare in the world, and Guo Jia is more at ease than anyone else.

Seeing that Yecheng had come into view, Guo Jia grabbed the reins and frowned and looked at the front of the road, Xu Shu had already discovered the situation ahead, a group of bandits were besieging the three gorgeous carriages, and many corpses had fallen on the side of the road, and blood was sprinkled all over the ground.

"Yuan Zhi, I have heard of your heroic name for a long time, and today I happened to encounter thieves and robbers, why don't you let me see how your martial arts are?" Guo Jia said that he had drawn the sword at his waist, obviously going into battle in person.

Xu Shu laughed, and said happily: "Fengxiao, with all due respect, I am not as good as you, but in this martial arts, I will beat you more than one!" Just a thief, wait for me to kill in a moment. ”

After that, Xu Shu drew his sword and rode his horse, rushed away, and Guo Jia followed.

There were about 50 bandits, dressed in cloth clothes, and the weapons in their hands were also in tatters, and the number of people besieging the carriage was only due to the number of people, and the number of guards guarding the carriage was less than 10 people, but they were also equal.

Xu Shu and Guo Jia rode into the bandits, and by surprise they each killed two people.

Bang bang

Blood splattered in the air, and heads fell into the air.

Guo Jia raised his sword and said solemnly: "The Yecheng army is about to arrive, and you will be captured before you can tie your hands!" ”

The bandits were first shocked by the might of Guo Jia and Xu Shu who killed the four in the blink of an eye, and then when they heard that the officers and soldiers of Yecheng were coming, they were immediately frightened and ran for their lives.

Guo Jia and Xu Shu turned over and dismounted, looked at the surrounding scene, and found that most of the dead people were young men wearing servant clothes, thinking that they should be servants in the home of the owners of these three gorgeous carriages.

"Feng Xiao is anxious and wise, and he can't do it." Xu Shu's face was ashamed, the experience of the young ranger made him just want to fight just now, but when he saw Guo Jia's words, half a hundred thieves fled in the wilderness, this kind of ability is far more than a hundred times higher than killing people by force.

Guo Jia smiled and said nothing, but saw that the son who had just protected the middle carriage and commanded the guards to defend against the enemy came to him, only to see that the prince was dressed in brocade robes, with a very great appearance, although he was slightly injured but his expression was calm, he bowed solemnly to Guo Jia and Xu Shu, raised his head and said gratefully: "Thank you two brothers for saving your life, in Zhen Yu, did you not ask the two brothers?" ”

"Yingchuan Guo Jia."

"Xu Shu."

Guo Jia and Xu Shu returned the salute, and after that, Guo Jia seemed to think of something and asked, "Zhen Yu?" Could it be that Brother Tai is a member of the Zhongshan Wuji Zhen family? ”

Zhen Yu was not surprised, the Zhen family was a well-known family in Hebei, so he replied modestly: "Exactly." ”

And Guo Jia can know that the Zhen family is nothing more than two reasons, one is that the Zhen family has a queen, Luo Shen Zhen Mi. The second is that the Zhen family is a huge rich man in Hebei.

But after thinking about it, now Luo Shen Zhen Mi is estimated to be still in her mother's womb, in the face of the upcoming troubled times, the Zhen family must take refuge in one of the princes, otherwise Zhen Mi will not marry into the Yuan family and become Yuan Shao's daughter-in-law, so now Guo Jia has no heart to talk with Zhen Yu here.

So Guo Jia immediately said: "Yecheng is close at hand, Brother Tai can enter the city as soon as possible to take refuge, and Brother Tai has suffered a lot of casualties this time, there must be a lot of things to take care of, let's say goodbye, come to Fang Chang, if there is a fate, I will come to visit." ”

Xu Shu knew that they were here for Zhang Jiao, so he understood Guo Jia's approach, so he hugged his fist at Zhen Yu, turned over and got on the horse, and planned to rush to Yecheng with Guo Jia.

But Zhen Yu stood in front of the two of them, and said sincerely: "The two brothers have the grace to save my life, if I leave like this, won't I Zhen Yu become a villain who has a favor and does not repay it, if the two of them don't dislike it, wait for me to tidy up the family affairs, let's go into the city to talk about it, so that I can thank the two." ”

Guo Jia didn't appreciate it, shook his head and said: "Seeing that the road is uneven, we are not people who want to repay the favor, today we are destined to solve the difficulties of Brother Tai but with a gesture, don't take it to heart, I still have important things to do, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, don't pass it over, there will be a period later." ”

Zhen Yu had no choice but to get out of the way, looking at the back of Guo Jia and Xu Shu leaving, and sighed.

Judging from the scene of Guo Jia and Xu Shu riding horses to kill just now, these two people are good at martial arts, coupled with Guo Jia's intelligence to deceive the bandits with a word, this person is brave and strategic, but it is a pity that such a young hero has lost the opportunity to make friends.

"Brother, didn't that chivalrous warrior just now say that the army of the Yecheng faction is about to arrive? Why is there no shadow now? Out of the carriage came a pale-faced young girl, dignified and beautiful, dressed in a multicolored skirt, which was enough to amaze the world.

Zhen Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly and walked to Zhen Jiang's side and explained, "Big sister, have you seen where those two young heroes came from?" ”

"South." Zhen Jiang blurted out, and then he was stunned, a trace of sorrow appeared on his pale jade face, and then said: "Yecheng is in the north, is it ......?"

"Yes, they went to Yecheng, how could they know that there was an army in Yecheng that went out of the city to suppress bandits, so Guo Jia was scaring the thieves." Zhen Yu looked at the two teenagers who had left in the dust, and felt even more sorry in his heart.

"He's so smart." Zhen Jiang, a girl in the flower season, suddenly showed a look of admiration, but as soon as she saw the dead body on the side of the road, she lost her face and retreated into the car.

Guo Jia and Xu Shu, who were about to enter Yecheng, dismounted and walked, and when they passed by, they saw the homeless people gathering in groups outside the city, begging passers-by for help.

"Fengxiao, I think the son of the Zhen family wants to befriend you, why did you leave in a hurry? Although you and I are here to see how Zhang Jiao is doing, it is not very urgent. Xu Shu asked his doubts, in his mind, he is not a notorious person, there is no reason to refuse thousands of miles, besides, the son of the Zhen family is polite and moderate, and he is much better than the pompous boys who have seen fame and reputation in the past.

Guo Jia took out the copper coin from his body and handed it to the guards outside the city gate, entered the city with Xu Shu, and explained as he walked: "I'm afraid that the Zhen family has the intention of soliciting, rather than refusing at that time, it is better to stay away from right and wrong." ”

The two led their horses and walked down the street, looking for an inn to stay at, but suddenly saw a young girl on the side of the road who sold herself to bury her father.

The girl wearing linen and filial piety knelt on the side of the road, lying in front of a corpse covered by a straw mat, although the thin girl was thin, but from the face of the face it was a little bit of posture, there would be a lot of onlookers around her, and there were many discussions.

The crowd of onlookers was separated, and a richly dressed boy came to the kneeling girl, looked up and down, a look of greed appeared on his face, and immediately said: "You go back to the house with me, and from now on you will be my maid of the royal family." ”

Suddenly, two slaves rushed out from behind Brother Gongzi, and they stepped over the straw mat that covered the corpse and were about to pull up the girl in filial piety clothes.

But the girl shrank and dodged, and said in a lamenting voice: "Thank you for your kindness, please give the slave and maid 100 dollars to bury my father, and after my father is buried, I will serve my son with all my heart." ”

"Hmph, I don't know what to do, just go home with me, your father's future affairs will be taken care of by someone, don't know how to lift up." Wang Gongzi looked impatient, waved his hand and motioned for the slave to go up and snatch the girl home by force.

The people around them all took a few steps back to make way of the road, with different expressions, regret, hatred, anger, etc.

This Wang family is a big family in Yecheng, and they are used to being rampant and domineering, and the people dare to be angry and silent, for fear of getting into trouble.

Knort

With a sound of the sword unsheathed, everyone saw a flash of silver light in front of them, and a young man put the sword across the neck of the prince of the Wang family.

Xu Shu saw that this prince of the Wang family was so domineering, so he was angry and held the prince of the Wang family hostage.

Guo Jia and Xu Shu saw things clearly from beginning to end, and the Wang family also knew that if it was really for the girl to fund the funeral of her father, then it was natural for the girl to enter the Wang family as a slave and a maid, but this prince of the Wang family was afraid that he wanted to rob the girl without a penny, Xu Shu was so uneven, Guo Jia also hated bullying, of course, this injustice had to be taken care of.

The master was held hostage, and the two slaves naturally did not dare to act rashly, so they retreated, and looked at Xu Shu at a loss after three steps, while the prince of the Wang family pretended to be calm and composed, squinted at Xu Shu and said in a trembling voice: "Who are you?" Don't you know that I am the third son of the Yecheng royal family? If you hurt me at all, you will die without a place to bury. ”

Xu Shu looked grim, snorted coldly, turned his head to Guo Jia and asked respectfully, "Young Master, what should I do with this person?" ”

Guo Jia smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was indifferent, and he understood: "Today, I will give the Yecheng Wang family a face and let him go." ”

Xu Shu received the order, put away the sword and returned the sheath, and took a few steps back behind Guo Jia, his face was always as cold as frost.

At this time, the prince of the Wang family was shocked and looked at Guo Jia and Xu Shu.

The two of them are not luxuriously dressed but they are talented, handsome, with a sword hanging from their waists, a scarf on their heads, and a faint bearing, they are definitely a model of heroic teenagers.

What are the identities of these two? The prince of the Wang family was shocked, so he asked cautiously: "I don't know the surnames of the two brothers?" ”

"Presumptuous! Can you ask about the name of my young master? While my young master hasn't changed his mind, hurry up. Xu Shu shouted coldly, and his eyes swept the prince of the Wang family coldly.

At this time, Zhen Yu entered Yecheng with his family's carriage and horses, passing by here, from Xu Shu drawing his sword to see the present, at this moment, Zhen Yu stepped forward, saluted Guo Jia and said: "I don't know why Brother Tai is here?" ”

Guo Jia was quite surprised by Zhen Yu's appearance, but when he saw the smile in Zhen Yu's eyes, he knew that the other party had insight into himself playing a pig and eating a tiger, since he didn't say anything, he wanted to help him, so he pretended to be the end, and said lightly: "When the road is uneven, teach those rampant wealthy children a lesson." ”

"You!" The prince of the Wang family suddenly became angry when he heard Guo Jia's tone, and after seeing Zhen Yu, he pressed it down, and thought about it: The eldest young master of the Zhen family is extremely respectful to this young man, I am afraid that this young man is not small, and it is better to make less trouble.

Zhen Yu and this prince of the Wang family are old acquaintances, but they don't come and go frequently, they are just general friends, and now he came to the prince of the Wang family and whispered: "Brother Wang, leave early." ”

The prince of the Wang family was even more shocked: Could it be that this person is quite jealous of even the Zhen family?

Unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart, the prince of the Wang family asked in a low voice, "Who is this son?" ”

Zhen Yu just shook his head and said nothing, the prince of the Wang family was suddenly frightened, he understood Zhen Yu's shaking of his head as Zhen Yu was warning him that the Wang family could not afford to provoke him.

After the confession, the prince of the Wang family led the slave to leave in a hurry.

When the prince of the Wang family disappeared, Zhen Yu, Guo Jia, and Xu Shu looked at each other and laughed.

"Thank you Brother Tai, Jia has another thing to ask Brother Tai to help, this woman sold herself to bury her father, filial piety is commendable, if Brother Tai is convenient, please help her, fulfill her filial piety."

Guo Jia gave a salute to Zhen Yu, Zhen Yu hurriedly returned the salute and let the subordinate take the money and give it to the girl without saying a word, and then said to Guo Jia: "Brother Tai once said that there is a fate to meet again, and now you and I will meet in this Yecheng, Yu will invite Brother Tai to my mansion again, and I hope that Brother Tai will not refuse." ”

Guo Jia was helpless, the other party's words were all about this, and no matter how much he didn't give face, he couldn't slap his face, so he agreed.
