There are dozens of jujube trees in front, a road in the middle, and after crossing the bridge is Gao Laozhuang. The leaves are falling, and the strange-looking old jujube tree looks a little weird in the night.

Yang Hu was familiar with the path, he raised his hand and waved, and ran over at the moment, seeing that it was only more than 20 zhang away from the jujube forest, a string of sparks suddenly ignited in the forest in front of him, and he saw it very clearly in the night.

The sparks were gorgeous, but the sound of the explosion was very small, the fireworks flashed and went out, and many figures suddenly appeared in the forest in front of them, and the shadows were so large that I couldn't see how many people there were, but under the faint moonlight, the blades reflected the cold light of the scales, and the silence was murderous.

The bandit Ma Er, who was following Yang Hu, exclaimed: "Brother Tiger, Eagle Claw Sun has already prepared, let's work side by side."

Yang Hu was also surprised, looking at the officers and soldiers in this posture, they had obviously been ambushed here for a long time, why did they leak the news?

Yang Ling was prepared, and it seemed that there was no chance for him to move tonight. Yang Hu was secretly annoyed, but he was not afraid in his heart, he had already learned the incompetence of the officers and soldiers, and ordinary bandits did not dare to provoke several times the officers and soldiers, not to mention that in order to assassinate Emperor Zhengde, he brought them into Beijing were the most capable subordinates.

Yang Hu was not afraid, looked forward with cold eyes, and saw that the people who suddenly appeared in the forest were about two hundred, the number was equal, he was even calmer, and immediately shouted to his subordinates: "Brothers, don't mess up, the number of officers and soldiers is not large, retreat immediately."

At this moment, someone from the left and right thieves exclaimed: "Brother Tiger, there are people over here, fuck, we are trapped."

Yang Hu looked left and right in shock, the moonlight was slanting, and he saw that countless officers and soldiers suddenly appeared on the ground in the wilderness on the left and right, these people didn't say a word, just approached silently, and an invisible pressure and murderous aura were terrifying.

Yang Hu's heart tightened when he saw it, and Tian Laosi shouted from afar: "There are also people behind, Brother Hu, rush out."

Yang Hu paused, gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, rush out, get the horses in the place and leave the Jingshi immediately!" ”

At this time, the officers and soldiers who suddenly appeared in all directions were close to 20 zhang away, and they vaguely heard someone shouting: "Shoot!" ”

There was a noisy clatter from the wind, and a miserable cry arose, and dozens of bandits had fallen to the ground with arrows in all directions, and the crowd was suddenly in chaos. Yang Ling's subordinates are all from the military, fighting in the army, bows and crossbows first, just trying to kill people as much as possible, who competes with him in personal martial arts?

In addition to the hard crossbow in the army, the lethality can reach a thousand steps, and the bow and arrow can kill people within three hundred steps, Yang Ling's Shenji battalion is mainly firearms, except for Yang Ling's five hundred guards, most of them are not good at bows and crossbows.

If a large number of firearms are dispatched to start a war, in the suburbs of Beijing, the sound will frighten the people, and if it is introduced into the palace, it may easily cause the court to be jealous, so Yang Ling's officers and soldiers are all equipped with bead boxes and crossbows.

This beaded box crossbow can only be shot at close range within 40 zhang, but a box of ten branches, the lethality is amazing, within 20 zhang, it can penetrate the leather armor and directly enter the human body. The inner factory is now the world's largest official and businessman, and the wealth is rolling under Yu Yong's operation, and even the expensive Lianzhu crossbow is equipped with as many as a thousand, so the distance is naturally demanding.

Seeing so many loyal brothers die under the crossbow, Yang Hu was angry, and he shouted: "Brothers, go outside", saying that he held a steel knife and pounced on the officers and soldiers of the nearby Shenji Battalion.

After a moment of panic, the bloody anger made them fierce, and they immediately waved their weapons and followed Yang Hu to counterattack the officers and soldiers.

"Uh", a big thief had just snatched a few steps, and the sharp arrow passed through his throat, and he had no end of his momentum, and ran a few more steps, and then fell heavily to the ground. The crossbow arrow was short, the arrow was silent, even with Yang Hu's kung fu in the night, it was difficult to reach his eyesight, Yang Hu waved the knife through the wind and rain, and in an instant he had grabbed more than ten zhang in front of him, knocking four or five crossbow arrows away.

The people next to Yang Hu kept falling down, Yang Hu's eyes were split, and he saw that he could kill into the crowd if he rushed forward more than ten zhang, and found a glimmer of life, when his thighs suddenly went numb, and he stumbled and knelt on the ground.

Yang Hu stretched out his hand and touched it, a crossbow arrow was only the tail of the arrow, and the arrow shot deeply into the thigh, Yang Hu didn't have time to pull out the short arrow, he threw the knife, touched it to his waist in pain, raised his hands in a row, and threw twelve flying knives one after another, and the officers and soldiers who were hit by the knife fell to the ground one after another.

More than a dozen robbers with high martial arts took advantage of the gap opened by Yang Hu to rush into the crowd and fight with the officers and soldiers, the swords intersected in the wilderness, and there was a sonorous sound, although the number of officers and soldiers was numerous, they were not the opponents of these Jiangyang thieves who fought alone, several officers and soldiers who hurriedly pulled out their swords to meet the battle were cut to the ground, and the rest of the thieves took the opportunity to swarm over and started a melee with the officers and soldiers.

Just a few rounds of arrow rain broke through the sky, the arrows were as dense as rain, and before even the shadow of the arrow could be seen, most of the two hundred giant thieves fell, and most of the remaining sixty or seventy people were extremely skilled in martial arts, and they were also alert and fierce. As soon as some saw that the brothers around them had been hit by arrows, they immediately rolled in, and some simply pulled up the accomplices who were shot to death as meat shields, saving their own lives.

Yang Hu pulled out the arrow on his leg, grabbed the narrow blade and stood up, several fans rushed over with a knife, Yang Hu roared loudly, kicked his legs, and a large puff of frozen hard soil was kicked away, seeping snow and throwing it to several fans.

Several fans hid their faces and retreated, and at this moment of effort, Yang Hu laughed fiercely, jumped forward, dragged a single knife, and slashed from the waist of one person, and disemboweled. Yang Hu showed his might, and sure enough, like a tiger entering the flock, the blade was splashed with blood and ice and snow, and six or seven people were cut by him in an instant.

This fight, Yang Hu only discovered the mystery, it turned out that these fans were wearing cloaks, the color of the cloak was strange, the color of gray and white was twisted and twisted, that is, in the near distance, by the moonlight and night, it was not easy to identify those fans who were fighting against him and his brothers, no wonder they lurked hundreds of people thirty zhang away, and they did not notice it with their own ears and eyes.

The bandits are brave, but the number of fans is large, and although the skills are not as good as others, none of them are afraid to retreat, and less than half of the sixty or seventy thieves have already been injured by arrows, as long as the movement is a little slow, there will immediately be four or five sharp knives to tear him to pieces, at this moment, although dozens of kung fu officers and soldiers were killed and wounded, there were only more than 30 people left in the bandits.

Yang Hu saw that a brother was cut in the thigh by Fanzi, and fell down on his knees, and the sharp blade of Fanzi had been slashed at him head, and the single knife in his hand immediately flew out, whining and screaming, and penetrated into the Fanzi vest, Yang Hu punched and kicked, and broke away the blood kicked by a fanzi, and shouted: "Don't fight, go!" ”

Saying that he rushed out first, the bandits immediately followed, Yang Hu's leg wound was not wrapped, this action tore the wound and the blood flowed like an infusion, but he didn't realize it, all the way forward and kicked all the way under his feet, the toes passed, the frozen soil and snow flew in all directions, and the fans collected their knives and slightly blocked the kung fu, and several bandit leaders who saw the opportunity had rushed into the crowd to strangle.

Once these dozens of thieves gathered together to break through, the only ones who gathered around could meet them in short combat, and the numerical advantage was immediately gone, and they gradually rushed out of the crowd.

These fans are carefully trained by Liu Biao and the others, but the experience of the battle is insufficient, only those who are experienced in battle formations, and with Yang Ling in the south of the Yangtze River after several battles, a chief saw that his own martial arts were not as good as these fierce thieves, and the hand-to-hand contact was too short to meet the enemy's strength, and immediately called the crossbow box was not empty, and shouted to the subordinates who were desperately blocking the front: "All retreat, don't fight with them, hurry up."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Hu had already heard that something was wrong, and he turned upside down, like a fierce tiger pounced, and had reached his body, several Fanzi blades had just been raised, Yang Hu had already shouted like a thunderbolt, and the iron fist of his right hand hit the chest of the chief with the sound of the wind "bang", and his chest was dented.

Nashi choked on a long sentence in his throat, his body flew out of the air, smashed over a few of his subordinates, and for a while his throat was ho-ho, and all seven orifices were oozing blood, and he couldn't live when he saw it. Yang Hu's figure was short and turned, avoiding two steel knives, his left elbow was raised, he hit a fan, his right foot kicked back, kicked a person in the lower abdomen, and grabbed a simple knife with his hand, and blood and rain suddenly flew in the air, and there were many knives and guns around, and no one could get close to him.

Yang Hu took advantage of the gap and rushed back to the group of bandits, and shouted: "Rush with me, and those who stand in my way will die!" ”

These fans have never seen such a fierce and brave robber, the momentum was suddenly taken away, Yang Hu and a few northern green forests, the most brave and fierce thieves opened the way, the blades in their hands flashed and smashed, and they were ruthless, they were killed to open a bloody road, and more than 30 thieves who were desperate escaped into the vast night.

The door of Weiwubo's Mansion is open, the two strings of red lights in front of the door are as bright as day, the giant candle with the thickness of the child's arm in the middle hall is lit for a long time, Yang Ling's long hair is draped behind his shoulders, he is wearing a sea blue arrow-sleeved cotton robe, and he sits on the hall with a sleeveless placket back, looking handsome and graceful.

Cheng Qiyun wore a soft-footed head, wearing a round-necked narrow-sleeved robe, red lips and white teeth, a little anxiously turning around in front of him, Liu Biao stood at the door of the hall, a fan hurriedly rushed into the courtyard, and whispered a few words to him, Liu Biao waved his hand to let him retreat, turned around and came to the hall, Cheng Qiyun immediately couldn't wait to say: "Lord Liu, how is it?" ”

Liu Biao praised: "Sure enough, it is worthy of the big thief Yang Hu, the most courageous bandit in the northern green forest, the factory governor, the master of Cheng, Yang Hu led a crowd of about 200 people, under the attack of my ambush, he still brought more than 30 people to kill a bloody road, highlighting the encirclement."

Yang Ling and Cheng Qiyun listened to the same question, and Yang Ling asked: "What are our casualties?" Cheng Qiyun asked: "Can you send someone to drop out?" Is the ambush in place where the horses are hidden? ”

As soon as the two spoke, Cheng Qiyun's face turned red.

Yang Ling sighed secretly in his heart, this woman still pays too much attention to interests, thinks too much about herself, and doesn't care about the life or death of others at all.

Although she has done so many things for Yang Ling silently, with warmth and no regrets, even an iron man should be turned into a soft silk by her, but Yang Ling has always been a little wary, and it is for this reason.

She may have true feelings for herself, but Yang Ling didn't know how much weight this love had in her heart, and she didn't know if she would abandon her feelings and betray herself once she encountered strong external oppression and had to have a conflict of interest with herself.

Her experience is too complicated, although it is sympathetic, but because of this, she has been tempered like a stone, mercenary, and without long-term testing and careful observation, her steadfastness is really difficult to reassure.

Liu Biao said to Yang Ling: "The factory supervisor doesn't have to worry too much, we are only dozens of people injured or killed, and the rest of the thieves have been killed except for more than ten seriously injured and captured and more than 30 people who escaped."

After speaking, he smiled at Cheng Qiyun and said: "Lord Cheng, don't worry, Peng Stalltou personally led the fire gun battalion to set up an ambush in the road col a few miles away. ”

Yang Ling nodded and said, "It was this governor who underestimated this group of bandits, I really didn't expect that they were brave and superior to the sea bandits, and I thought that there would be no masters except Yang Hu and his wife."

Cheng Qiyun frowned slightly, and said to Yang Ling: "My lord, I thought that they would come out of the nest, and they would flee away from the other side, because our ambush soldiers were all set up outside the city, and Yang Qianhu only led more than 20 brothers to monitor in the city.

The news said that Yang Hu left the mansion alone, how could his wife still stay in the city? Aren't you afraid that something will happen here, and she will never have a chance to leave? Or is there another conspiracy? ”

Yang Ling shook his head and said: "I didn't figure out the intentions of their husband and wife, even if the city is closed at night, the official can't call to open the city gate", he got up and paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, Huo Di looked up and said: "I can't wait, hand the news in, and ask Yang Yiqing to summon the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to arrest and catch the red lady."

As soon as Cui Ying'er's door "knocked", she immediately woke up and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

She lifted the curtain, in order to wait for her husband to come back, she didn't put out the candle, and saw that the candle was more than half burned, Cui Ying'er frowned, look at this scene, it should have been three watches, Yang Hu and Liu Shenxian are still drinking?

Cui'er's voice outside the door said in a low voice: "Miss, get up quickly, we have to leave immediately."

The red lady grabbed her dress and hurriedly put it on, got off the ground and put on her shoes, opened the door, and saw Liu Laodao and Cui'er standing at the door, she was stunned, and asked while tightening her neckline: "What's wrong?" What about Yang Hu? ”

The red lady has a green silk flowing down from the back of her shoulders, the skin exposed by the neckline is plump and moving, the misty sideburns are cloudy, the sleep is lazy, and the indescribable coquettishness is lovely, Liu Laodao can't help but look at it, he doesn't dare to show a peeping look, and he hurriedly lowers his gaze.

Cui'er ate and said: "Miss, my aunt will leave the city to go to Weiwubo's Mansion at the second watch, I'm afraid that the incident has already happened at this time, so we have to leave the city quickly."

The red lady was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said angrily: "He still doesn't give up!" You're so bold, why did you say it to me now? ”

Liu Laodao hurriedly smiled and said: "Madam, the scoop insists on going, and asks Lao Dao to cover it up for him, Miss Cui'er has just known that he has prepared horses in the road col outside the city, and asks Lao Dao to inform Madame on the third watch, hurry up and go out of the city to join him, now the time is just right, let's go quickly, when the news of Yang Ling's killing comes into the city at dawn, it will be difficult to leave."

The red lady's angry willow eyebrows were upside down, she didn't say a word, she retreated into the room, the room closed with a bang, Cui'er couldn't help but stick out her tongue, but Liu Laodao showed a sly smile that had succeeded in his plan.

After a while, the door opened again, and the red lady changed into a cyan tight-fitting suit, a silk handkerchief wrapped around her head full of green silk, and Xiaoman's waist was equipped with a short sword, a pair of soft-soled bow boots of a creeper, with a cold and heroic expression.

Cui Ying'er said angrily: "Go, follow me out of the city!" ”
