Chapter 12 The young horse raises his hooves
Xu Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "If Wen Xianyong returns to Pingcheng with the Han family's horse team, we will have no chance. Ma Yizhong's eyeliner is not easy to get, don't easily leak your identity, don't think about it. He added, "Hulan's surveillance of the relationship between Pingcheng and Ma Yi is quite strict, and the information obtained by the eyeliner of the running gang is limited, and Jing Yun can choose one or two people from them to form a private gang." ”
"Lord Xu has considered such a problem when he was eyeliner in Ma Yibu, Wen Xianyong is very strict with the private gang who enter Pingcheng, but it turns out that several members of the Xiangfan Society have been here for a long time, and there is no big problem in funding some money; However, the private gang who went to Suiyuan through Pingcheng was the power that Hulan himself developed in the Central Plains. There were more such private gangs more than ten years ago, but in recent years there have been fewer of them, and the power of the Han family alone has expanded all of a sudden. ”
"The Han family is only in Daiyi and Yanmen, and Hulan will not be limited to this, it is very likely that those private gangs are hidden in the shadows, and they are all represented by the Han family?"
"Jingyun also thinks so, in recent years, the Han family's business has done a lot of business, and the leather goods, cloth, private salt, medicinal materials, ironware, and animal husbandry merchants who travel between the two places have to pass through the Han family, and it takes a lot of time to screen them one by one......
Xu Ruyu secretly thought: It's too late in time. sighed and said: "More than 100 years ago, there were Shuozhou and Yunzhou outside this Mayi, and there were Liaozhou and Yanzhou outside of Youji. Youji has the obstruction of Yanshan, and there are only two ways for Hulan to take Youji, one is the Sanggan River Valley of Yunshuo, and the other is the Liaoxi Corridor of Liaoyan, and the main force of Hulan is not in Yancheng, but in Pingcheng, which cannot be wrong. ”
Zhao Jingyun said: "Jingyun has recently also read Mr. Yi's "Balance of Power Policy", the land of Yun and Shuo is the junction of Yanshan and Taihang Mountains, the mountain is easy, from the low mouth of the north of Yunzhou to the Sanggan River valley to the east of Daiyi, it is convenient for Hulan iron to ride through, it is really a convenient place for southern invasion, but there are two natural dangers of Yanmen and Juyong in the meantime. If Hulan sends troops from Yancheng, he only needs to cross the Yuguan Pass to approach Fanyang, an important town in Jiji. ”
"The Cai family was originally guarding Fanyang Mansion (Yanjing area) at the beginning of the Youji family, 'the land of two mansions, one pass locked' refers to the natural risk of Yuguan, the Cai family has been operating in Yuguan for many years, and has never faked others. If Hulan sends troops from Yancheng, even if he can bypass Yuguan and cross Yanshan from Lengkou, Beigukou and Xifengkou, he will not be able to capture the important town of Fanyang, and he will be blocked by Yuguan to return home, and it will be difficult to escape defeat. After thinking for a while, he said, "Even if you march from the Sanggan River Valley, you must also capture Fanyang in order to gain a foothold in Youji." Could it be that Hulan's goal is not in Youji? ”
Yanmen natural danger is in the hands of the Xun family, Hulan is very likely to have the Han family as the internal response, and the Yanmen natural danger cannot stand, but Juyong natural danger is in the hands of the Cai family, and in the end there is a majestic Fan Yang to overcome.
Xu Ru was foolish about the situation in the world, and it was impossible for Hulan to capture Fan Yang with a step-by-step strategy within a year, and his thick eyebrows were locked, and he couldn't do anything for a while.
Zhao Jingyun has lived in the south for a long time, and he is not very familiar with the situation in the north, even Shao Haitang and others have been away from Fen County for five or six years, and they do not know all the details, so they can't figure it out.
The failure of the Xiangfan Society in Fen County was also the reason for the suppression of the Cai family, so Xu Ru foolishly abandoned the old people of the Xiangfan Society and took Zhao Jingyun to preside over the five northern county divisions.
Xu Ruyu glanced at Zhao Jingyun and asked, "Is there any news about Mr. Kou today?" ”
Zhao Jingyun said in a low voice: "Mr. Kou may go directly to Fanyang. ”
Xu Ruyu thought to himself: If Mr. Kou discerns the danger, there is such a possibility, but in the past few months, how can the Jun family not have any news? said: "You quickly summon Boyuan and Mu Qiu to come, Wen Xianyong's horse will be sent over." ”
Zhao Jingyun's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated and said: "It's better to take the horse first, and then choose a place to see the two of them." ”
Xu Ruyu was about to ask each other, when he noticed that someone came over and asked Zhao Jingyun to leave through the window.
When the door knocked, Xu Ruyu walked over and opened the door, and saw Meng Tu standing outside the door with a horsewhip, secretly thinking: Fortunately, let Zhao Jingyun leave first, otherwise he would have killed in this Ma Yi City, and asked, "How could Meng Ye be here?" ”
Looking at Xu Ruyu's clear and deep eyes, Meng Tu called out in his heart, "Straight Niang", and said: "The Han family has a batch of valuable things to sell to my family, Gongzi is afraid that there will be changes on the road, let me come and take a look, and Han Zhishan said that I saw Mr. here, and Meng Tu came to visit, so as not to go back and let Gongzi blame." ”
Xu Ruyu smiled and said, "Han Zhishan recognized me at a glance, I thought that Meng Ye asked the Han family to find me in the city to discuss something?" Seeing his stunned face, he smiled again, "Han Zhishan said that the son wanted to give a horse gift to help with the travel funds, and I thanked him here." ”
Montu said: "The horse is downstairs, but the son doesn't know yet, it is my Mengtu and Mr. Private." ”
Xu Ruyu originally wanted to knock on Hulan's military situation from his mouth, but seeing that he did not forget to defend Chu Shize, he didn't want to take advantage of his arrogance, and said with a smile: "I will go to Daiyi, Meng Ye has a relationship with the Han family, and I hope to take care of it." ”
"Han Zhishan has sent a message back to Daiyi, in Xinzhou, Xiangzhou and other places, Mr. can rest assured."
Xu Ruyu went downstairs with Meng Tu, and four men stood at the door with six horses, one of which was a young horse with extraordinary appearance, high hooves and wide forehead, front spiral hair like milk, green brown like blue, it was really a pure-blooded horse to ride. The four men saw that the outfit should be someone from the Han family's horse team, and when they saw Meng Tu and Xu Ruyu coming downstairs, they came forward together and said, "Meng Ye, Li Ye." ”
The city of Mayi is not big, and Wen Xianyong's gift of horses has already spread the word of righteous indignation, and the downstairs is full of high-rollers. When everyone saw Xu Ruyu and Meng Tu coming down, they thought: The rumors are true, but this Hu man gave this BMW to this person, and when the time comes, there will be another Bai Xianyong in the Central Plains. The blood was surging, and I couldn't help but stand up in unison.
Meng Tu snorted coldly, the leopard looked around, and the cold momentum came out of his body, most of the people in the store couldn't stand such a strong momentum, and they retreated to the side, only five or six high-rollers still stopped in place, grabbing the blades on the table and glaring at each other angrily.
The four members of the Han family took out their swords one after another and gathered around the two of them.
Meng Tu waved his hand, let the four of them retreat behind him, and smiled at Xu Ruyu: "The Central Plains is short of these men with blood surnames, and I still bother Li Ye to retreat, I will talk to them for a while." He took out the iron halberd from behind him, stepped forward, and said, "Mr. Li has no power to restrain the chicken, it is difficult to be you, you have a kind of way to come to someone." With that, he walked slowly onto the long street.
Stimulated by the cold momentum, Qingjun outside the door couldn't help but raise his hooves and hiss, hissing crisp and bright, straight through the ear drums, Xu Ruyu couldn't help but secretly praise, he had the intention to make this matter bigger, Zhao Jingyun looked outside the door, and didn't say anything to stop Meng Tu, thinking: Luo Boyuan and Peng Muqiu will immediately rush to hear the sound, but they are not afraid of what these five or six men have to lose.
Everyone knows that Hulan's power in Mayi City is extremely strong, and even a few people from the Han family can bear it by themselves. Seeing Montu standing on the long street with a vigorous attitude, he hesitated for a moment.
"Duh, I'm Xiao Yuan, but I don't want to be a bad seed without hanging eggs." A man picked up the knife and glanced at Xu Ruyu, seeing that he was calm and not afraid, his starry eyes were deep and far-reaching, he was stunned, and scolded his mother and walked out.
Montu sneered: "You're the only one who came out?" The people of the Central Plains are really good blood surnames. ”
"If you offend this Hu person and lose a head, is it possible that you are reluctant to buy and sell this single gang?" Two more people shouted for the leaping general, drew their blades, and stood on both sides of Xiao Yuan.
Meng Tu saw Xu Ruyu walking out of the store with a side face, calmly, not affected by the tension in front of him, and thought: The person that Gongzi values is really extraordinary, and Gongzi doesn't recruit him, because he doesn't want to dirty him. With this method, Wen Xianyong asked me to keep a low profile, thinking that he was afraid of him and squeezing his position. Unashamedly Wen Xianyong, he looked at Xu Ruyu and said, "Mr. Li, these three people are disrespectful to you, what should you do?" ”
The three of them looked at this side angrily, and Xu Ruyu smiled bitterly: "Li is not used to fighting, killing and killing, but Meng Ye is still merciful to his subordinates." ”
Xiao Yuan saw that one of his scholars said the same, and he was so angry that he scolded: "You soft hanger, you help the Hu people, but you forget your ancestors." ”
Meng Tuhaha laughed: "Xun Zhuwu and Gu Shida have both attacked Xijing, how can there be ancestors?" ”
Xiao Yuan was stunned for a while, the leopard's eyes cracked, but he couldn't refute this, the corners of his eyes were bloody, the knuckles of the hand holding the knife were pinched and beeped, and he shouted: "The matter of the Central Plains, you can't tolerate your dog's mouth." "Knife burst out and struck at Montu.
Meng Tu admired his courage, although the knife was indomitable, but in his eyes it was full of flaws, and secretly thought: take the opportunity to kill him, but let Mr. Li underestimate it, take half a step back from the side, and shoot out with a halberd, in the eyes of everyone, it is just a green rainbow, and with a bang, the Pu knife in Xiao Yuan's hand was broken in two from the handle of the knife and fell to the bluestone street.
Xu Ruyu could see clearly that Meng Tu was not using force and ruthlessness to break the servant's knife, but to see at a glance the weakness of Xiao Yuan's knife with a breath, and few people in Jiang Ning could easily do it with this kind of eyesight.
Xiao Yuan was frustrated, stood there in a daze, looked at the Pu Dao that was broken in two, and then looked at the majestic Mengtu, gathered the long handle and the body of the horse, and squeezed into the crowd and left.
Montu looked at the two people who came out of the store and said, "Are you two interested in giving it a try?" ”
The two of them had already lost their courage, glanced at each other, hugged their fists, and left silently.
Meng Tu looked at Xu Ruyu with a grin, and said: "There are a lot of people in the Central Plains who are capable, but they are all busy with internal strife, and only this little character still has a little blood surname." Mr. Li, there are still 100 gold in the horse's back skin, so it is better to go to Pingcheng with me to buy drunk. ”
Out of the corner of Xu Ruyu's eyes, he saw that there were many masters in the crowd that surrounded him, but the hooves of the Han family's horse team sounded on the street corner, so he had to look at everything in the field with indignation and indifference.
Xu Ruyu sighed secretly: The disadvantages of the Central Plains made a martial artist in Hulan see through, and said: "There is also a city named Pingcheng in the East China Sea, where the autumn dew is as fierce as a fire burning the throat, and Li hopes that Meng Ye can come to the East China Sea as a guest." ”
Montu smiled: "I'm not going to be a guest. In that case, Montu said goodbye to his husband. ”
Han Zhishan led more than ten people to appear on the street corner, restrained the horses, and shouted loudly to this side: "Mengye, what's the matter?" ”
Meng Tu waved his hand and said, "What kind of chaos can the people of the Central Plains make, let's go." With that, he turned over his horse, arched his hand to Xu Ruyu, and turned the horse's head and hooves to rush towards the crowd.
The crowd around the front avoided it, and made a big noise together, but saw Montu rushing in front of the people, and suddenly his body paused, and the horse stagnated for a moment, and his hooves stomped on the ground, and suddenly jumped to the height of more than a foot and crossed the heads of everyone.
When he was about to cross the wall, the crowd burst into flames: "You can also look down on the Central Plains martial artists?" A white figure slammed into the horse's belly and swept its palm at the horse's hind hooves.
Montu leaned over, the ape shrank to the horse's belly, and pressed the back and neck of the person who had always been palmed, the palm edge of the man was close to the horse's hooves, and he didn't want to give up his previous efforts, so the harrier turned over, and replaced the palm with his feet, and Montu fought hard.
Montu was unguarded, with the belly of the horse behind him, and he couldn't move away, and if he didn't unload the huge force on the horse, he would have to deal this blow deeply.
But the man grabbed the horse's hoof, and with the momentum of its fall, swept the horse through the crowd, and threw it on the other side, smashing it into a mass of flesh.
Although it borrowed strength, the momentum was terrifying, and everyone shouted in unison.
Meng Tu suppressed the surging Dan Xi in the meridians of his arms, raised his eyebrows angrily, and shouted: "Who are you, dare to ask for a place in Mayi?" ”
"Quanzhou Luo Boyuan, seeing that you look down on the Central Plains warriors so much, this is why you came to ask for this knot."
Only then did Xu Ruyu know why Zhao Jingyun had a headache, Ma Yi is a bitter cold place, and there are many brave and wealthy people in the private gang, but most of them know that they are obscure, for fear of falling into the eyes of horse thieves.
Luo Boyuan is dressed in a bright white silk robe, with a green hosta in his crown hair, his cold face is like jade, his eyes are like cold stars, Ma Yi has not met such a glamorous person all year round, if Xu Ruyu meets him and falls into the eyes of others, his identity will not be found out by the eyes of each family in a short time.
Xu Ruyu frowned, knowing that Zhao Jingyun couldn't control him, he must have eaten a lot of breath along the way, looking at Zhao Jingyun hiding in the crowd, and really showed a bitter expression.
Han Zhishan led more than ten horsemen to surround him, and shouted: "Quanzhou is just a southern wilderness, why do you need to negotiate the settlement between the Central Plains and Hulan?" ”
Luo Boyuan smiled: "But I don't know if your Han family belongs to the Central Plains?" ”
At this time, someone in the crowd shouted: "General Qingfeng has already received Southern Fujian, and the Luo family in Quanzhou belongs to the Central Plains more than the Han family." ”
Han Zhishan swept his eyes to the crowd with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Who among the people didn't go to Pingcheng to ask for money?" ”
Although everyone was ashamed of the Han family's behavior, they were speechless to refute it, and under his cold gaze, they retreated one after another.
Xu Ruyu led Qingjun and stood in front of the crowd again, seeing that everyone's eyes were on him again, he laughed and said: "Seek wealth but don't abandon righteousness, make friends but don't collaborate with the enemy, Li Youmeng's son Ze gave Qingjun a hundred gold, I have no shame in my heart, and I thank General Meng for me." Xiang Mengtu made a gesture, and then said to Han Zhishan: "Is the Han family ashamed? "Lead the horse away.
Meng Tu stood there stunned, thinking: This Li You has long known the identity of the son? Seeing him walking through the Han family's horse formation without fear, I was impressed in my heart, the son is really handsome, and I am far from it. When he turned around, he saw that Luo Boyuan's momentum was a little subdued, and he felt strange in his heart, but at this time, he extinguished his desire to win, hugged his fists and said: "The Central Plains is not without heroes, and I have said something from someone." ”
Han Zhishan asked in surprise, "Meng Ye is all about it?" ”
"What are you going to do?" Meng Tu said impatiently, took a horse from the Han family, and rode away, leaving only the stunned Han Zhishan standing in place.
Xu Ruyu rode the green horse given by Mengtu and walked out of the south gate of Mayi.
Mayi is a border city, except for more than 10,000 residents in the city, there are no cultivators outside the city, there are often horse thieves nearby, and even mountain people and hunters are rare. There is only one military village between Yanmen and Mayi, the business traveler can not rest there, the four fields are empty and white, the hoof prints on the galloping road are covered with a layer of snow particles, Xu Ruyu has the heart to let Zhao Jingyun and Luo Boyuan chase them for a while, gallop for a while, see a person standing on the back of the distance, feel strange, and ride a horse to meet it.
When he got closer, the man turned around, but it was Xiao Yuan, who was carrying the broken weapon and leaving gloomily.
Xu Ru smiled foolishly: "Brother Xiao didn't go to the single gang, but he came to do this interceptive business, which is really a good idea, but he lacks a weapon to take advantage of." ”
Xiao Yuan's old face flushed, frightened by his calmness, he loosened his old fist with a big bowl, glanced at Xu Ruyu fixedly, and said indignantly: "If it weren't for a soft hanger like you, how could a mere alien be able to humiliate Han Ting?" ”
Xu Ruyu said: "Brother Xiao is right, but there are few people in the central country who have such insight as Brother Xiao. ”
"Wow, I can't see you sticking to someone's ass like this." Xiao Yuan scolded and stepped forward with a bowl-sized fist.
Xu Ruyu suddenly thought about his words but scolded himself, he praised him for saying well, laughed dumbly, pulled the reins, Qingjun took a few steps, and actually raised his hooves and kicked towards Xiao Yuan. Xu Ruyu thought to himself: This beast is really extraordinary, seeing Xiao Yuan sideways to the side, his body fell back slightly, and his left hand lightly lifted the reins, at this moment, Qing Jun raised his hooves sideways at a different angle, and kicked straight towards Xiao Yuan's chest, like a meteor, which was very different from the previous kick.
Xiao Yuan couldn't avoid it, crossed his arms to block, only to feel the huge force coming, and his body was shocked back seven or eight steps to stop, Xiao Yuan glared at Qingjun and scolded: "You beast doesn't know what to do, but you help this guy." Fixedly looking at the cyan horse hesitating in front of him, a man and a horse did not have a flaw in his eyes, his heart was surprised, but his mouth kept saying foul language, after a while, he patted his leg and shouted: "Yes, he defected to your Hulan, you beast also knows." He was about to jump up and strike through the air, but he saw the young horse neighing, his forehead high, and his round and clear horse eyes staring straight at the empty space above him.
Xiao Yuan's heart was weak for a while, and he felt that he couldn't escape the kick in the empty place of his lower abdomen, hesitated for a moment, and slowly discharged the breath of Dan under his feet, only to see Xu Ruyu sitting on horseback, and the light smile on his face only made people want to step forward and beat him before he was relieved. After a few more attempts, the young horse raised his hooves and forced him back, wanting to give up, but the old face couldn't put it down, and he didn't let go of the way in front of the horse.
