After committing suicide to Wei Zhongdao, in the Hedong area, Guo Jia was surrounded and intercepted by the Wei family, but unfortunately Guo Jia and his party of five galloped on horseback, coming and going like the wind, only a few days out of the Hedong boundary, and then to Guanzhong to Sichuan Shu.

Two months later, Yizhou Ba County.

In Linjiang City, where the sky is getting darker, a carriage comes slowly, and there are two other left and right guards, the four young men who straddle the horse and drive the carriage are all dressed in white and scarves, and the sword is hanging from their waists.

"Little Taigong, there is an inn ahead, do you want to stay?" Xiao Zhong asked into the carriage.

"It's up to you." Guo Jia sat in the car, holding an oil lamp in one hand and a military book in the other, studying carefully.

Jingle bells

At this moment, the curtain of the carriage flickered, and a figure rushed in, rushing into the carriage through the narrow window.

The sturdy man made only a slight movement, but when he looked up, he found two swords on his neck.

Guo Jia looked at the burly but slender young man in front of him in amazement, this person was majestic, dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, and the most striking thing was the white feather on his head.

Thinking of the bell just now, Guo Jia couldn't help but look at the man's waist, and sure enough, the bell was hanging.

"Xiao Yong, Xiao Yi." Guo Jia waved his hand lightly, and the two put away their swords, put down the curtain, and continued to catch the car.

The young man with extraordinary skills patted his chest, tilted his head to look at Guo Jia and pouted, "I thought I had entered the wolf's den." Hehe, scholar, I borrowed your carriage for refuge for the time being, and after a while, he will leave on his own. ”

"I don't know if the light man kills people, and the Jinfan thief Qu Shuai Gan Xingba, who hides and sacrifices his life, why is he being chased and killed here now?"

Guo Jia put down the military book and oil lamp, and threw the wine jug next to him to Gan Ning.

Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, took the wine jug, but smiled proudly: "It seems that the name of a certain person has been spread." Scholar, you have good eyesight, and it is Gan Ning Gan Xingba. ”

After that, he opened the wine jug and poured it violently, his face tightened, he forcibly suppressed the fierce wine, wiped his mouth and sighed to Guo Jia: "A certain year ago, I killed a big family who was feasting in Shu County, and I tasted a drunken immortal at that time, but I didn't expect to be able to drink the best wine in this world today." Scholar, you can also drink this drunken immortal liquor? ”

Guo Jia picked up the wine jug and poured a big sip, but his face was not different, he was already used to drinking drunken fairy wine, how could he be choked?

Gan Ning's face was surprised, but his expression was solemn, because there was a sound of whirring and shouting outside the carriage, Guo Jia opened the corner of the curtain with his fingers, and saw a team of officers and soldiers galloping over, obviously searching for someone.

Because Guo Jia and his entourage are obviously not like ordinary people, the officers and soldiers did not come up to search and arrest, just because of the harsh and awe-inspiring momentum of Xiao Ren and Xiao Zhong's left and right horses, the officers and soldiers did not dare to make a mistake, for fear of provoking this I don't know which wealthy family it is.

After the officers and soldiers left, Guo Jia looked at Gan Ning again, but when he saw him sighing, his expression suddenly relaxed, and he snatched the wine jug from Guo Jia's hand and poured it, saying, "Scholar, I have taken my leave." ”

Gan Ning was about to jump out of the carriage, but Guo Jia said behind him: "Gan Xingba, can you listen to me?" ”

Gan Ning froze, looked back at Guo Jia, and asked, "What do you have to say to so-and-so?" ”

Looking at his anxious surname, Guo Jia shook his head and chuckled: "I have traveled in Shu, and I often hear the chivalrous name of Jinfan thief, but Gan Xingba, have you ever thought about the passage of the moon and the geometry of life?" A rare strong man in the world like you, but he can only hide his head and show his tail, spend his years in vain, and don't feel a pity for his whole life? ”

As Guo Jia said, it happened to hit the sore spot in Gan Ning's heart, he sat down dejectedly, and said bitterly: "I also want to achieve something great, but there is no way to serve the country, Yizhou Mu Xuan only knows pleasure, thieves and thieves make trouble, he doesn't think about governing the army and eliminating evil, and the county officials and people are fished and fleshed, and he turns a blind eye." A certain can't see it, kill a few corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and slaughter a few wealthy families in the township. ”

Immediately, Gan Ning suddenly remembered that he didn't know the name of the scholar in front of him, so he arched his hand and asked, "Who hasn't asked anyone yet?" ”

Guo Jia couldn't cry or laugh, shook the wine jug that had a few drops left, and said: "Okay, you Gan Xingba, drink my wine to the point that there is not a drop left, and this time I remembered to ask who I am." Hehe, under the surname Guo Mingjia is filial piety. ”

"Guo Jia? Guo Fengxiao? Are you the Guo Jia of Yingchuan? Gan Ning's eyes lit up, staring at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia was quite surprised, could it be that his reputation has spread all over the world? The Central Plains area is not strange, Yingchuan Xiaotaigong is famous far and wide, but this Shu is closed, has anyone heard his name?

"It's Yingchuan Guo Jia."

Gan Ning listened, laughed, rubbed his hands; "I thought you were a sour scholar, but I didn't expect it to be a member of my generation. Guo Fengxiao's name is like thunder. First of all, three years ago, a fire in Changshe burned down the 10,000 army of Yellow Turban thieves, and recently I heard that Yingchuan Guo Jia bought the lives of 37 members of the Wei family of the Hedong Shi clan for one money, which is very happy. ”

Happy? Guo Jia didn't dare to agree, it was estimated that this Gan Xingba didn't even know why he killed people, but he just felt that those famous families should be killed.

Sure enough, after Guo Jia asked the reason, Gan Ning said bluntly: "It must be the Hedong Wei family who oppressed the people to make a fortune, and they eliminated harm for the people!" ”

Guo Jia chuckled helplessly, and then learned from Gan Ning that the Hedong Wei family not only wanted Guo Jia in Hedong County, but also secretly paid a huge amount of money to reward Guo Jia's head.

But at this time, the world was chaotic, the decrees between the states had not yet been reached, and the reward of the Hedong Wei family was only a few repercussions near Hedong County, but the name of Guo Jia was once again spread all over the world.

After settling down in the inn, Guo Jia and Gan Ning had a long talk, and when it was dawn, Gan Ning said to Guo Jia hatefully: "This Linjiang county order is the nephew of Yizhou Mu Xuanjian, three days ago, the county order forcibly accepted the daughter of a farmer, the girl did not obey, and committed suicide by hanging the beam, and was angry after hearing it, so he took his brothers to kill the county order, but the news was leaked, but he was arrested by the officers and soldiers of the county government A lot of brothers, and a certain also escaped. ”

Guo Jia sighed in his heart: Some people say that the Jinfan thief is evil, and some people say that the Jinfan thief is chivalrous.

"Xingba, what are your plans now?"

Gan Ning sighed and said astringently: "XX is also desperate now, the world is big, and a certain person can go to it, but those brothers who were born and died were imprisoned, how could XX survive and go away alone." I also thought about breaking into the prison alone, but the county order strictly guarded against it, and I had no way to start. ”

Seeing Gan Ning's depressed and embarrassed expression, Guo Jia stood up and paced back and forth in the room, and after thinking for a long time, he said solemnly to Gan Ning: "Xingba, I have a plan, or I can save your brother." ”

Gan Ning was overjoyed, got up and held Guo Jia's hand, and urged: "What is the best plan for Feng Xiao, please tell me." ”

Guo Jia stretched out his hand and motioned for Gan Ning to take a seat, after the two sat down, Guo Jia told Gan Ning in detail about his plan, Gan Ning's face became more and more happy, and finally hit his right fist in the palm of his left hand, and laughed: "Clever plan, so-and-so will turn this Linjiang City upside down with his feet!" ”

Just after the autumn harvest, the weather turned cold, and it was naturally impossible for the county magistrate to go to the county office, hiding at home and hugging his wife and concubine to warm the quilt and dreaming, but unexpectedly, someone broke into the house, and even crawled to the bed of Xuan Yuan, kneeling and screaming in fear.

"Master, master, it's not good, something is wrong!"

The pot-bellied and fat-covered Xuan Yuan poked his head out of the quilt and scolded with a displeased face: "Who let you in?" Get out. ”

"Master, master, something really happened! There are rebels in Yongchuan, and the city has been slaughtered! The subordinate threw himself at the head of the bed and shook Xuan Yuan, hoping that he would wake up his mind.

Hearing the word slaughter, Xuan Yuan was also so frightened that his face turned pale, he lifted the quilt and walked out of bed, grabbed the next person, and asked in a trembling voice: "Where did you know about this?" ”

The subordinate was out of breath, blushing and said, "An officer and soldier who escaped from Yongchuan came to ask for help. The man was just outside the door, and the lord could summon him in for questioning. ”

Throwing the subordinate aside, the barefoot Xuan Yuan ran out of the door, and was suddenly frightened and took a few steps back.

Outside the house stood a man covered in blood, and the horrific appearance was terrifying.

"Yongchuan, what happened to Yongchuan?" Xuan Yuan asked in a trembling voice.

The man's tongue was dry, and he said hoarsely: "Last night, there were Yellow Turban remnants near Yongchuan, and after breaking the city, they began to slaughter the sergeants and people in the city. ”

"Come on, beat this person out of the stick!" Xuan Yuan pointed to the bloody soldier, the six gods have no master.

After the man screamed and disappeared outside the house, Xuan Yuan sat on the ground, helpless.

Yongchuan is only half a day away from Linjiang, and if that gang of thieves comes to attack Linjiang, I'm afraid it will arrive soon.

To run or not to run? Xuan Yuan struggled fiercely in his heart.

If you escape, what if you run into a thief?

If you don't escape, the thieves will still be dead when they enter the city.

However, if you escape, this official will be lost.

If you don't run away, if the thief doesn't come to Linjiang, or if he comes and is repulsed, then he will be promoted......

"Come on, notify the county government, mobilize everyone to defend the city, if there are thieves to commit, kill the thieves and make meritorious contributions, this official will be rewarded!"

After Xu Yuan hurriedly gave the order, he rushed back to the room, covered the quilt, and hugged his concubine tightly, but his body was trembling.

At the corner of the street directly opposite the gate of the county office, Xiao Zhong took off his bloody clothes, and then waited for the officers and soldiers in the county government to hurriedly run towards the square city gate before he turned around and left.

Xuan Yuan has only served as the commander of Linjiang County for more than a year, but he has already occupied three of the largest houses in the city, and there are countless fields and properties.

These three mansions are one after another, and on the eaves of the houses where grain and grass are hoarded in the house, one person is crawling, and after spreading fire oil on the roof, he drops a torch, and suddenly the flames soar into the sky, and the smoke is billowing out.

"Ahem, come on, where is the water?" Xuan Yuan ran out of the room in a panic, looked up, and was terrified, it was his own house that was on fire.

"Quick, quick, quick, put out the fire! Hurry, my house. ”
