Liu Sheng got off the horse, put the horse material bag on the horse's mouth, and did not loosen the horse's belly belt, so as not to get on the horse and escape in time. When I looked back, I saw Xue Liangyu lying on the ground with his back to the sky, chewing a grass root in his mouth, looking depressed, knowing that the other party was still angry about what happened just now. He smiled slightly, walked over to Xue Liangyu and sat down, patted Xue Liangyu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Xue Laosi, are you still playing with a child's temper for Fang Cai's affairs?" ”

"What kid's temper!" Xue Liangyu sat up abruptly and said angrily: "I'm just not convinced, why should the second brother favor outsiders!" ”

"Alright, alright!" Liu Sheng said with a smile: "You also have to think about your second brother, his ass in the inspection seat is not hot yet, if you make full use of your own brothers, even if those foreigners don't say it, they are not convinced in their hearts, what if they don't work hard?" Just rely on these few people in your Xue family? Fourth, your archery and horse kung fu can be counted in Anyang, how many more heads are cut in this battle, and the team is the head of the beautiful team? At that time, can your second brother not give it to you? ”

"So that's the case, but I'm wrong about the second brother!" Xue Liangyu slapped his thigh and said fiercely: "That thief is called Yang Wu, I have to twist his head off to show everyone!" ”

"That's right!" Liu Sheng stood up and smiled to himself: "It's still a child after all!" At this moment, there was a cry for help in the distance, and I saw two people who had just inquired about the situation in the village running towards this side, and there were five thieves behind them, wielding knives and guns fiercely, and watching them chase closer and closer.

"Brother Liu Sheng, you just stay here and watch me clean up these guys!" Xue Liangyu arched his hand to Liu Sheng, turned over and jumped on the war horse, lay on the horse's back, and went down the mound along the back, bypassing from the side, the dense thatch blocked the thieves' sight, and soon Xue Liangyu detoured back to the back of the thieves, sat up straight, kicked the horse's belly, and pounced on the thief closest to him.

Yu Er used his spear to pull away the thatch, and at the same time panted and chased after the two people not far away, he was only about ten steps away from the person at the back, and he could even see the patch on the man's back. Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in his ears, and Yu Er turned his head in surprise, only to see a horse rushing from behind the side, and what caught his eye was the long knife held high in the knight's hand.

"Ahh

With a terrible scream, Xue Liangyu shook his wrist violently, shook the blood on the blade, and drove his mount to the second thief, the thief just heard the scream and turned around, before he could raise the weapon in his hand, Xue Liangyu crossed the blade, with the help of horse speed, the sharp blade cut the thief's throat, strangled the scream in the trachea, and his body fell to the ground like a broken pocket.

"There are cavalry, cavalry!" The remaining thieves let out a frightened cry, instinctively leaned together, formed a small phalanx back to back, and aimed their spears at Xue Liangyu on the periphery. Xue Liangyu did not drive the war horse to disperse the small phalanx, but returned the knife into the sheath, took out the bow and arrow on the right side, pulled the bow full, and aimed it at the only thief in the phalanx who carried the bow and arrow.

"Ahh There was a third scream, and the thief, who was still scrambling to get the arrow, fell to the ground, and an arrow shot through his mouth, and the snow-white goose feathers were straight to the sky, and there was a slight vibration.

"Run!" The two thieves who were still alive immediately understood their terrible situation, the enemy in front of them was a skilled horse archer, and without the protection of the archers, the two of them were just living targets for each other. They dropped their weapons and ran in both directions - hoping that one of them would escape alive!

Xue Liangyu did not hesitate, the reason was very simple, one of them fled in a panic in the direction of the small mound where Liu Sheng was, he kicked the horse's belly twice, easily caught up with the other thief, cut off the opponent's head with a knife, and did not dismount to search for loot on the corpse, so he returned to the mound with the head, just in time to see the two Liu Sheng's subordinates viciously interrogating the thief lying on the ground.

"Good skills!" Liu Sheng gave a thumbs up: "This hand is immediately kung fu, brother, I go south and north, even the Khitan people in the north are rare." The first credit for taking the thief this time must be yours brother! ”

"Just a few little thieves!" Xue Liangyu smiled reservedly and threw the bloody head to the ground, causing the captive to curl up in fright.

"Last time, if it wasn't for the second brother who stopped me, I took down that gang of thieves alone!" After killing the four people, Xue Liangyu's mood was also better, and he asked, "Brother Liu Sheng, what should we do next?" ”

"The situation in the village has been clarified, I will immediately send someone to report the situation to your second brother, let's change places and continue to monitor the thieves in the village, don't let them escape!"

About an hour after the cavalry led by Liu Sheng set off, the team led by Xue Liangchen walked out of the north gate of Anyang County, in the ranks, Zhou Ping looked at the Zhishan on the side with some embarrassment, only to see that he was wearing a brown straight jacket, covered with a new black leather armor, carrying a ring knife and a curved bow at his waist, and twenty-four black eagle arrows were inserted in the quiver behind his back, holding a polished and smooth iron staff.

"Zhou Tanyue, is there anything ugly on my face?" Zhishan felt Zhou Ping's flashing gaze, turned his head and smiled.

"Not really!" Zhou Ping smiled: "It's just the first time I've seen a Zen master dressed like this, so-"

"Oh!" Zhishan smiled slightly: "Although the poor monk entered the Shi family at a young age, he didn't have much time to chant the scriptures and chant the Buddha, and he did a lot of kung fu to dance the knife and make the stick, do you know why?" ”

"I don't know, please enlighten the Zen master!"

"Hey!" At this time, Zhishan's face showed a look of reminiscing about the past: "The poor monk was originally a member of the Linyao clan in Xizhou, a soldier of the Western Army for generations, and there are countless elders and brothers in the clan who have been plagued by the king's affairs, and I am the eldest in this generation. It's my turn this generation! Speaking of this, Zhishan sighed.

"The master still doesn't forget the state affairs when he becomes a monk, and the kid admires it!" Zhou Ping hurriedly said.

"You're wrong!" Zhishan shook his head: "Tan Yue, shouldn't you have been to Kansai, I don't know the situation in my hometown." The ancient name of my hometown is Didao, which has been a famous town in the northwest since ancient times, an important town in Longyou, and a strategic place to control Longshu. For thousands of years, the Han people and the Hu people, the Hu people and the Hu people, the Han people and the Han people have fought there, almost never subsided, even the women and old men, can also hold the bow and hold the sword, and the Hu cavalry fights. Although I am a monk, what kind of food in my mouth and clothes can be separated from the charity of the people? If you can't do your part to protect the safety of the township, you will give birth to this boy in vain! ”

Hearing Zhishan's words, Zhou Ping couldn't help but be dumbfounded, he couldn't help but ask himself, the monk in front of him for the safety of the township, went out of the fortress many times, not afraid of hardships and dangers. And although he is not a person from this world, but after more than two years, the Xue family has treated him well, but he has been thinking about how to save enough and escape the monstrous disaster after a few years. Thinking of this, Zhou Ping's heart couldn't help but throb.

Seeing Zhou Ping bowing his head and being silent, Zhishan looked thoughtful, and hurriedly asked, "Zhou Tanyue, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just a reminder of the past!" Zhou Ping hurriedly smiled, concealed his thoughts, and asked carefully: "However, after Tong Shumi opened up the Qingtang Dynasty, the situation in your hometown must be much better, right?" ”

"Well, losing the danger of Hengshan, my Great Song Dynasty and Bian Qingtang, summer thieves have been far less rampant than in previous years." Zhishan nodded, but the expression on his face was still solemn, in stark contrast to the content of his words.

Seeing this, Zhou Ping hurriedly asked carefully: "Looking at the Zen master's face, could it be that there are still hidden worries?" ”

Zhishan nodded: "Yes, my Great Song Dynasty is the capital of Bianjing, and the Xia thief is far away in the west, and the threat is only Shaanxi Wulu." Even if there was such a big trouble during the Zhenzong period back then, it was just to spend some more money, and Ma Zheng was a little troublesome, but there was no threat to the heartland of my Great Song Dynasty. But this time, I was invited by a Goryeo monk to go to Goryeo, only to find that my henchmen of the Great Song Dynasty were not in the west, but in the east! ”

"Ahh Zhou Ping couldn't help but exclaim when he heard this.

"Zhou Tanyue, why are you like this, do you know something?" Seeing this, Zhishan hurriedly asked, Zhou Ping hurriedly smiled and said: "Xiao Ke heard the Zen master talk about the disaster of the Great Song Dynasty, he is like this, and the gaffe, please forgive the master!" ”

As a latecomer, Zhou Ping naturally knew that the biggest threat to the Great Song Dynasty at this time was not the Western Xia in the west, nor the behemoth Liao State in the north, but the Jurchens who had just come from the white mountains and black waters in the northeast, and the Jurchens who were still unknown in the Great Song Dynasty, it was this small force with only hundreds of thousands of people at the moment, who galloped across the country in the next few decades, destroying the two largest empires in East Asia at that time, and becoming the undisputed overlord. But it is one thing to know yourself, and it is another thing for the monk in front of you to know, which shows his long-term vision and keen observation. However, this courageous and knowledgeable monk did not leave a trace in history, which shows that most of his fate was not very good, maybe he died in the catastrophe a few years later, and his brothers and nephews were afraid that most of them were buried in the defeats of the Western Army during the Jingkang period. Thinking of this, Zhou Ping couldn't help but sigh to himself, in the tide of history, the power of individuals is too small.
