The convoy soon left the city of Ji'an and headed south. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info They carefully crossed a mountain and then a flat land. At noon, we came to a valley.

Zhou Jin didn't have any luck now, he called Meng Changjiang to the side of the car and instructed: "We must have provoked someone, and in front of us is a densely wooded canyon, a good place to block the road and collect money." Inform everyone, be on your guard! ”

Zhou Tong was on the side at this time, and after hearing this, he said: "Young master, Taihe County is not far from the front, and this road is not remote, there will be no robbers!" ”

"I don't know, it's okay to be prepared. Don't talk to them about these days, you know! Zhou Jin pointed to the cart and said.

Zhou Tong patted his chest and promised: "Understand, I will not say it." ”

Zhou Jin drove Zhou Tong back to the cart and continued to say to Meng Changjiang: "The more I think about last night's incident, the more strange it becomes, so after this trip, I will expand the guards, you have to make mental preparations and training plans." ”

"The fourth master is worried that this matter is not over yet?"

"We killed more than a dozen of them, but they didn't get anything, and no one would suffer this loss. So I'm going to recruit a 100-10 person. ”

"Raising so many people, the cost is not small, will Master Zhou agree?"

"Someone is still afraid that they won't be able to get money?"

Meng Changjiang looked at Zhou Jin in surprise and said, "Fourth master, do you want to ......?"

"Of course not, what am I! What would you do? I have my own way, you don't have to worry about it. In addition, I have to enter Beijing after the township test, there are so many rogues in the north, and there are also a lot of bandits in Shandong and other places, and there are not hundreds of guards, so it is still a matter of whether I can go to Beijing, so it is better to start recruiting people for training now. ”

Meng Changjiang was relieved at this time, so he relieved himself to arrange for the guards to be on guard.

Of course, Zhou Jin can't fall into the grass, what he wants to do now is to protect himself when the society is fused, so as not to be slaughtered at will like a pig in captivity. It is difficult for a rational person to sympathize with an already decaying civilization becoming more corrupt, so he is not interested in saving this dynastic dynasty or restoring the Qing Dynasty. All he has to do is improve his strength, survive, and then when the conditions are ripe, continue his career.

Becoming an official has become a way for him to improve his strength, because at least for six or seven years, this official position can put Zhou Jin in an advantageous position. Zhou Jin knew very well how huge the difference between officials and the people was. For Zhou Pan to push him to the imperial examination, he is happy to see it, and will also add fuel to the fire.

The convoy had entered the forest, which was normal, and there were pedestrians coming from the south on the way. So the guards were still tense just now, and they slowly relaxed.

After passing through a narrow section, the robbers they did not want to appear jumped out and surrounded them in front and behind.

At this time, a robber who looked like a leader jumped out and shouted: "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to pass by, leave it to buy road money." ”

Zhou Jin stood at the front of the car and said: "I didn't see the sign in front of me saying that there is a toll station here!" ”

The leader probably sang too much, so he screamed, and then reprimanded, "Bah! Less verbose! Leave the carriage and horses, and the people can be released! ”

When Meng Changjiang took advantage of the two of them to speak, he immediately assigned manpower and prepared to strike first.

Zhou Jin saw that these people seemed to have other plans, so he lied: "It's quite moral!" I don't think you're here to rob! Who sent you? ”

The leader, who was also a straight man, immediately said, "Good eyesight! But it's useless! Above! ”

The two teams were only about ten paces away, and after the guards shot and wounded more than ten paces, they engaged the robbers in close combat. Meng Changjiang was originally a sword soldier, so when he was training, he actually focused on melee combat, but because it was too difficult to train, the guards mainly used crossbows. But after a lot of practice, they worked in pairs, one person blocked, and one person shot but had the upper hand.

When the leader of the robbers saw that the war was unfavorable, he immediately thought of capturing the thief and the king: "Catch the man in the cart!" ”

Soon, a dozen robbers rushed to the cart. Zhou Tong and Zhou Hong hadn't trained much after all, and after they shot and injured a few people, they couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and the thieves rushed over.

The bandit who ran to the front jumped up and slashed at Zhou Tong's head. That Zhou Tong had a weak leg and rolled under the car, and the thief pulled him to the ground and drove Zhou Tong under the car. When he squatted down, Zhou Tong's crossbow was already loaded, and he shot his crotch at once, and immediately screamed, and rolled on the ground.

Zhou Hong had already been forced to the back of the car, and Zhou Jin had to deal with the passing on both sides alone. When a robber saw Zhou Jin shoot to the other side, he took advantage of his unpreparedness and slashed at Zhou Jin's back, seeing that Zhou Jin was about to be stabbed, he rushed out of the carriage and threw Zhou Jin out. Zhou Jin only realized the danger at this time, he looked back slightly, thinking that he could dodge it, but if he rushed out, he would be hit, and immediately buckled the person who rushed out with his backhand, and with force on his waist, he rolled half a circle in the air and rolled out of the carriage with the man.

Zhou Jin knew who rushed out with that button, he was moved and angry in his heart, and when he saw the arrow on Li Yu's back, he felt distressed. It turned out that when he shot the nail, an arrow also hit him, just as they were rolling, hitting Li Yu in the back.

The thief saw that Zhou Jin was holding Li Yu and had difficulty moving, so he raised his knife and followed, and when he was about to swing the knife, a nail hit his head.

Seeing Zhou Jin's crisis, Meng Changjiang struggled to kill the person in front of him and gathered by the car.

There are many enemies, and sooner or later they will be killed, Zhou Jin immediately ordered: "Shrink the team, let the fat man throw the oil!" ”

At this time, Zhao Ruifu and Zhou Hong solved a person in the back of the car, and after listening to Zhou Jin's order, he didn't wait for Meng Changjiang to speak, ignited the oil that had been packaged and threw it into the pile.

Meng Changjiang didn't have time to stop him, so he had to shout: "Get close to the car!" Gather here! When the guards saw the fat man throwing fire oil, they dared to rub it, and after Wang Badao forced the opponent back, they gathered near the car.

Zhao Ruifu saw that the guards were already approaching, and he threw them even more unscrupulously, and the sound of bangbang was endless. When the leader was anxiously paying attention to these hot oils, Zhang Sicong on the periphery finally found an opportunity to hit his left shoulder, tearing a hole in his shoulder, the nail had already half submerged, and he immediately fainted in unbearable pain.

Zhao Ruifu stood on the car and was the first to see it, so he shouted: "The thief is dead!" The thief is dead! Everyone, rush! Kill these bitches. ”

As soon as he shouted, the robbers turned back and found their leader lying on the ground. At this time, someone next to the leader shouted: "The boss is dead, quickly pull away!" ”

These people had just been killed by the crossbow and lost their temper by the fire oil, and they didn't want to fight for a long time, so when they heard someone shouting to retreat, they immediately pulled up the people who were still alive and ran into the forest. In the blink of an eye, there was no one.

Seeing the robbers leaving, Zhou Jin immediately asked everyone to simply bandage their wounds and leave the place immediately.

Zhou Jin carried Li Yu back to the car, found scissors, cut off the arrow shaft, cut off the clothes from the wounded department, and untied the cloak and coat. Zhou Jin breathed a sigh of relief, the arrow just hit the iron buckle of the leather armor on his body, and it was stuck by the iron buckle. Still, some arrows shot into the body. I looked at the color of the blood, smelled the arrows that leaked out of the field, there was nothing unusual, it seemed that the arrows were not poisonous.

Yujuan saw that Zhou Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and asked nervously, "Young Master." My young lady is fine. ”

"It's okay, it's stuck in the iron buckle, a small injury." Zhou Jin grinned reluctantly, which could be regarded as comfort. He wanted to pull the arrow off, and it would be easy to get inflamed if he left it on his body for a long time. He continued to cut off his leather armor and underwear, leaking out the wound.

After a closer look again, he didn't find any barbs or anything like the arrow, so he thought about it, pinched the remaining shaft, and pulled it out. Li Yu was in a coma, but he didn't feel any pain.

Yujuan saw that the arrow had been taken out and asked, "Then why is the young lady still unconscious?" ”

Zhou Jin explained: "Being hit by an arrow is like being punched. Do not worry. After that, he continued to treat the wound, first cleaning the wound and then bandaging it.

Zhou Jin looked at the wound, and he was not so angry in his heart at this time. I thought that if I didn't have guns, I had the idea of improving my weapons.

The convoy quickly walked out of the forest and reached the edge of the Gan River two hours later. After crossing the river, you will reach Lijiazhuang.

There are about a few hundred households in Lijiazhuang, and the Zhuangzi seat faces south in the north, at the end of a hilly area.

Zhuangli let see this team of people tied with bandages and carrying big knives into Zhuangzi, and for a while, chickens and dogs jumped, and the sound of closing the door was endless.

Zhou Hong and Zhao Ruifu have fought side by side, so now the two are sitting together. In front of the cart, only Zhou Tong was left to catch the car.

At this time, Zhao Ruifu saw that everyone in the village was avoiding them, so he asked, "Steward Zhou, what's the matter with these people?" Afraid of what? With such a simple and lovely person as me, what are they afraid of? ”

Zhou Hong said calmly: "I'm afraid that if you go to his house, they can't afford to eat for you." ”

"I, Zhao Ruifu, have people who scatter blessings, they can't afford it, I don't want to go!"

The two chatted and farted, and after entering a Jinshi archway, they arrived in front of the gate of the Li Mansion. Zhou Hongcai got out of the car and went to call the door, and after waiting for a long time, someone opened the door, and it was a descendant who came out.

Zhou Hong has seen him, he is the son of Li Laogen, the current manager of the Li family: "Go and call your father out, your young lady is back." ”

This later life also remembered Zhou Hong and wanted to close the door to report. Zhou Hong thought to himself, who is this, and he stopped him when the door was closed. The latter immediately said urgently: "What are you doing?" ”

Zhou Jin took care of Li Yu just now, and every time he saw the wound, he felt a little bit in his heart. At this time, he waited for a long time, and he was already impatient, and waved his hand at Meng Changjiang.

After Meng Changjiang had the experience of bullying the hawkers on the street last time, he immediately understood and ordered loudly: "Rush into the house and empty the house!" Dare to obstruct, fight! ”

The guards were also very unhappy with these subordinates snubbing their masters, so they pulled out their knives and rushed in, and after a while of crying and calling for their mother, Li Laogen's whole family was driven out of the gate.

Li Laogen saw Zhou Hong at the door and knew that it was Zhou coming in, so he said, "Young Master Zhou, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhou Jin had the kung fu to pay attention to him, picked up Li Yu, who was still unconscious, and went into the courtyard, and came to the hall, Zhou Jin said to Zhou Hong: "Clean up the backyard!" ”

The rest of the women followed to the backyard to check, and soon, Zhou Hong came back and said: "Fourth master, the backyard house is in disrepair and cannot be inhabited, but the house in the second entry is still intact, and I have cleaned it up." Aunt You and the others are arranging, and it will be fine in a while. ”

After a while, Li Min came out to report and said that it had been arranged. After Zhou Jin instructed Zhou Hong a few times, he carried Li Yu into the back room. This is the second main house, a large five-room house, with a doorway opening to the backyard on one side of the main house.

Just as Zhou Jin was cleaning Li Yu's wounds again, Zhou Tong had a message outside the house, saying that the patriarch was here and wanted to see Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin came to the front living room after patiently dealing with it, and at this time, the patriarch surnamed Li was standing in the middle of the living room with an angry face. Zhou Jin didn't have any friendship with this patriarch, and he wasn't his relative, so he only arched his hand as a gift, and then sat down on the main seat and said, "Patriarch, please sit, I don't know, what happened to you when you came to my house?" ”

"Why did you drive Li Laogen's family out of the door?"

"I'll punish you for something that doesn't have rules."

"He doesn't have rules and can't take your turn!"

"You don't make sense of what the patriarch said, I'm not qualified to punish my family's slaves?" Zhou Jin laughed.

"Then Li Laogen is a descendant of the Li family, and He Cheng is your Zhou family!"

Zhou Jin thought about it, he was not a hun after all, so he argued: "Neiko is the master of the Li family, why can't I punish it on my behalf?" ”

"But as far as I know, you're not married."

"I'm married, I haven't quit yet, she's my person, do you have a problem?"

"That's also your Zhou family! And can you take care of my Li family affairs? ”

"Then I'm in trouble! Do you still have a word? Zhou Jin got up and said, "Send off the guests." Then he returned to the interior.
