At the crossing of the Yellow River, the ragged Xie Shence and others were boarding the boat, and the horse bandits who claimed to be natives of Shandong Province were bargaining, and finally a dozen people and three horses were sold for five taels of silver.

Five taels of silver, in normal times, is enough for a dozen people to go back and forth ten times. The reason why the shipwrights dared to ask for the price and was reluctant to reduce the price can somewhat reflect the soaring prices brought about by the war in the north at this time. If it weren't for Xie Shence and the others who were injured and had swords with them, the boatman who had a few fierce brothers would definitely double the price.

The two big regattas were stuffed to the brim, and then the boatman shouted a trumpet and set sail.

Opened the boat, immediately someone with a knife, forced the two boatmen to the stern, Xie Shence smiled: "Don't hide the two, we are the righteous men of Shandong Province, this time the time is urgent, some things have to be said on the boat, inconvenient, the two of you are right, the boat behind, please shout the two of you, inform your companions, so as not to cause misunderstanding"

The righteous man of Shandong Province, this is said by Sven, but how can a man who has been making a living on the Yellow River all year round not know the meaning of this sentence?

I'm a horse bandit, I don't want to kill people, you guys behave

The two boatmen, who had originally intended to stop in the middle of the river and threaten to increase the price, nodded hurriedly, and one of them hurriedly shouted to the already restless brothers behind him, indicating that there was nothing to do.

Xie Shence, Li Yan and others sat on the bow of the boat, Xie Shence looked around, and then said: "They are all behind, I will tell you about the next thing that has broken up the people in hand, Uncle Lou went to Jizhou, Jizhou has reached the limit, I just hope to save Guo Fei, and nothing else can help."

"I'm afraid Jizhou won't be able to hold it, and then Xinhe, Julu, if you're lucky, Guo Fei may be able to hold on to Qinghe, but Qinghe City is small and short, and it can't hold it anymore, but at that time, reinforcements should also arrive, so maybe it can last for a while."

"We can't help, it's too late. And even if there is enough time, such a large-scale war, the entire Youzhou and Youzhou will sink, and you can't do it if you have time, but if you can help Guo Fei block it for a while, maybe many people will survive because of it."

"The strength of my Xie family has been fully mobilized, and the network of relationships established through business roads over the years has also begun to play a role, but this is still not enough, so in the next step, our focus is not on Hebei, but on the north of Hebei at this time - Shandong Road."

"I've thought about something these days, say it first, everyone listen, if there is something inappropriate, everyone will discuss it, I'll see if I can change it"

In fact, there have been more than one meeting like this, and no one dared to speak up in the first place for this kind of discussion meeting in which everyone participated. It wasn't until Xie Shence strictly ordered everyone who listened to him to say more than two suggestions that the atmosphere began to liven up a bit.

The most concrete presentation of the existence of gate valves is the strict hierarchy. Don't talk about the guards, even the housekeepers who are the ultimate retainers, most of the time, they don't dare to express their opinions at will.

In the beginning, every night, this kind of analysis of the day's progress and shortcomings and then summarize the experience is the most headache for everyone. Many people are accustomed to obeying orders and then executing without thinking, such as Xie Shence's "You left footprints on the ground too violently when you changed horses today" and the like, and then remind you to pay attention to the practice, there is really no way to get everyone's approval, after all, they are all people who are used to manual labor, and suddenly they have to pay attention to everything when they move, which is really tiring.

It's just that after more than ten days, basically everyone got used to it, that is, the Shandong horse bandits, who had always been excluded, under the leadership of Cao Baqi Ge Monkey who participated in it, also started this form of exchange meeting, but it was often noisy.

Determining the direction and details of future action on the ship reminded Xie Shence of an epoch-making meeting on board that ultimately changed the world and moved history, and this meeting was just a way for some people who didn't understand.

At the same time, in the early morning, hundreds of people surrounded a team of seventy or eighty people in the Black Mountain Ridge, commonly known as the "Black Forest".

Liu Changji resented his crow's mouth, saying what he was talking about, what he was afraid of, but before he could regret it, the arrows were spilled, and then there was an unreasonable siege by hundreds of people.

The key is that there are more than 100 people, and a few simple pieces of information converged into Liu Changji's mind, and in the shortest possible time, he screened out a few horse bandits nearby.

The Great Snake Cao Baqi, the Mixed Yuan Jinding Feng Yukui, the Heavenly Master Zhan Yangzi, and the Overlord Flower Cucumber.

Among these four forces, the most difficult is the big snake Cao Baqi, but this person has disappeared in a few months and does not know where to go, the mixed yuan Jinding Feng Yukui likes to fall into the well and stick a knife in the back, and there is a seemingly decent nickname of the heavenly master Zhan Yangzi is the most insidious and vicious sword, the overlord has a cucumber, the most mysterious, it is said that he took refuge in His Royal Highness the Prince.

It should be Feng Yukui or Zhan Yangzi's person, Liu Changji thought so.

In that case, maybe it's just a misunderstanding.

"You are the brothers under the command of General Feng Yukui of the Mixed Yuan Jinding? Brother is from the Tai'an Tian family, and he has had several relationships with your family General Feng or is under Zhan Tianshi, so if you talk about it tightly, your brother will naturally not let everyone go back empty-handed."

Liu Changji is the captain of the Tian family's guards, regardless of the level of kung fu for the time being, he must be able to eat well on the black and white road in Jinan Mansion and Tai'an, most people, even Feng Yukui or Zhan Yangzi, and even Cao Baqi, who has always been unscrupulous, will buy him a little bit of face - otherwise, with Tai'an's uncalm at this time, Tian Zi will not let him escort Lin Wu'er.

It's just that he shouted back and forth several times today, but not many of the horse bandits who kept attacking the formation of the convoy responded, which made Liu Changji feel tricky.

Even if he committed a crime on Cao Da Snake's territory and then blamed him, his tone would not be so strict, could it really be Cao Baqi?

As soon as this idea came out, it was denied by Liu Changji himself. Cao Baqi really hasn't come back yet, even if he does, he Baizhangya Lao Longtan also has some relationship with the Tian family, and his business contacts keep him from attacking the Tian family, especially after he reported his identity here, these people are still desperately fighting.

"If it is a brother's newly established mountain, someone Liu has not visited, it is a certain faux pas, Your Excellency is going to war with my Tian family, I don't know that my Tian family will not settle accounts in the future, Your Excellency think clearly"

"That person is so long-winded, shoot him for me" In the distance, the masked overlord flower cucumber girl pointed at Liu Changji.

"The old general will take a little, and the last general will take him down with a maximum of two arrows!"

"Hurry up! I'll shoot you to death if I talk so much! ”

The horse bandit quickly drew his bow, pulled the bowstring with his hand, and then took out an iron-backed arrow, stood still, held his breath, opened the bow like a full moon, and then let go of his fingers, and the big arrow swished, flew from the hillside for a distance of three hundred steps, and fell towards Liu Changji like a meteor.

The vigilance of danger allowed Liu Changji to pick up a life, but the right hand that smashed the iron-backed arrow away was uncomfortable, and the powerful iron arrow not only bent the iron sword in his hand, but also almost broke the tiger's mouth.

"That guy has a big fate, but this arrow is not so lucky"

The horse bandit who drew the second iron-backed arrow on the hillside cracked his mouth and smiled, then changed his posture and opened his bow with his left hand!

The legendary god who can shoot the bow left and right and pull the five stones, at this time, wears a torn cotton jacket, like a gun pierced on the hillside, and the bow is an arrow.

The men and horses neighed, Liu Changji spat blood and fell from the horse, causing an exclamation, and soon after, the horse bandits broke through the outer defense and burst in, and soon after, more than a dozen people surrounded Lin Wu'er's carriage.

"You waste, three years ago it was two arrows, and now it's still at that level, I can see it, I lost money when I picked you up, the old lady raised you for three years, raised pigs for three years, and the whole village can eat meat, what use do you say to raise you? Something that loses money"

The cucumber girl whose nickname is diametrically opposed to the name, and whose personality is also incompatible with the name, is extremely ridiculed by Dayi Langjun, who had to rest after opening the five-stone bow twice at this time.

Ren Zhongxing, who has an extremely attractive style and an extremely extraordinary outstretched hand, smirked like this, still not angry with the sarcasm of the cucumber, even the evil smile of the other horse bandits, and he didn't take it to heart.

"You fool, three sticks can't get half a fart, scold you for not having the energy to go, go and see how Tian Zi's daughter-in-law looks, if she looks more beautiful than me, she will draw flowers, see if Tian Zi still wants him Tian Zi doesn't always advertise his infatuation first? I'm going to see if it's true."

"That" a horse bandit reminded in a low voice: "Old, general, that kid from Tian Zi doesn't seem to have said this."

"Can't the old lady help him add it? What did you just say, kind of repeatedly? ”

"Nope! No, I mean, general, you added it well! ”

Liu Changji and a group of guards were restrained at this time, trapped on the side and unable to move. Now more than a dozen people are surrounding the carriage, and there is no talk here, but there is no movement inside. When the overlord flower came, the horse bandits here put away their weapons together, and just about to say goodbye, they were stopped by the overlord flower.

Ruan Shuisheng, nicknamed Lin Haijiao, coughed, saluted the carriage in a decent manner, and then said, "Baizhang Cliff Cao Baqi, this room is invited." ”

There was no sound of speech inside.

"Uh-huh! Baizhang Cliff Cao Baqi, please here! ”

There was still no movement inside.

Ruan Shuisheng's face couldn't hold back, he glanced left and right, and was about to step forward and lift the curtain.

"Stop!"

"Dare to touch my wife!"

"Be careful!" A scolding, then a hand reached out, grabbed Ruan Shuisheng's shoulder, and the whole person floated backwards, Ruan Shuisheng, who turned over in the air, fell to the ground and rolled twice, stretched out his hand to touch it, and there were two blood grooves on his face.

Hidden Arrows.

Ruan Shuisheng's face was gloomy.

"Mrs. Tian, we are sincerely invited, I am afraid that it will be unruly for you to do this."

"When did the horse bandits talk about the rules?"

The curtain was lifted, and a woman with a sleeve arrow in her hand stepped down. This woman's pretty face was frosty, and her abdomen was slightly bulging, it was Lin Wu'er.

"Well, it's not ugly, seeing that, then follow me up the mountain."
