Yangjia Village is located in the west of Taiyuan City, dozens of miles away from the halfway waist of the Hanging Urn Mountain.

Hearing Li Dare say that he was about to go to Hanging Urn Mountain non-stop, Mei Kaicheng was old and frail after all, and drank too much wine, and after repeatedly apologizing to Li Dang, he said that he was not accompanied. He asked one of his centurions, surnamed Zhang, to accompany Li Dang to Hanging Urn Mountain to find Yang Er with a large group of men.

Although Li Dang didn't like to go with such fanfare, considering that those who attacked him were still in the shadows, he agreed to Mei Kaicheng's arrangement.

Li Kang's concerns are reasonable, at this time, Tong Guan is hiding in the middle of the group of ordinary people who greeted Li Kang, he learned that Li Kang did not go to the government with Mei Kaicheng after getting off the boat, but went to the west of the city with a large group of people alone, he was a little puzzled, he didn't know what Li Kang was going to do in the west of the city.

Later, Tong Guan thought that it might be that the bandits he had captured earlier had made a false confession, saying that he had fallen into the grass in the west of the city, and this Li Dang was probably going to the west of the city to suppress the bandits.

Tong Guan is not many people available under his command now, he is most worried that Li Dang will hide in the palace and not come forward, then there is no way at all, now seeing Li Dang riding a high-headed horse out of the West City Gate, he is ecstatic in his heart, although he may not be able to defeat Li Dang now, but he has a divine archer here, and it should always be possible to set up an ambush and snipe.

Tong Guan called three archers and said: "The west side of the city is a wilderness, you bring a few more bags of bows and arrows, follow this Li Kang's team out of the city, you must find an opportunity to get rid of Li Kang, whoever can bring back Li Kang's head will be rewarded with a thousand taels." ”

These three archers are all one in a hundred marksmen, the hard bow on their backs can shoot a distance of 300 paces, within a hundred paces that refers to where to shoot, a hundred shots, they heard that there is a heavy reward, all of them are full of confidence, and they found a dung truck on the spot. And when he had hidden his bow and arrows, he departed through the western gate.

At this time, in a hostel not far from Tong Guan and his group, Zhao Ying, who was dressed as a man, was leaning in front of a wooden lattice window, staring intently at every move of Tong Guan and his group.

Although she promised Li Kang that she would not follow him to the Liao Kingdom, Zhao Ying still couldn't rest assured about Li Kang, and she quietly left the palace the day after Li Kang left Bianjing, and disappeared again with Gao Taotao.

This time, Zhao Ying boarded a boat to Taiyuan City. She followed Li Kang all the way.

Although Li Kang's car and ship were faster, because the states and counties along the coast had to do some repairs and supplies, Zhao Ying, who left a day late, arrived in Taiyuan City first.

After she learned that Li Kang had not yet arrived in Taiyuan City, she simply asked for a room in the guest house near the water gate of Taiyuan City, and observed the movement of the water gate at any time, because she knew that if Li Kang's ship arrived in Taiyuan City, it would definitely enter the city through the water gate and abandon the ship to go ashore.

On this day, the road was full of people. Zhao Ying pulled the shopkeeper and asked, only to know that it was the prefect Mei Kaicheng who was solemnly welcoming the arrival of the Liao mission, and Zhao Ying was overjoyed. wanted to go downstairs to see Li Kang at Watergate, but she was afraid that after Li Kang discovered herself, she would be sent back to Bianjing by the officials of Taiyuan Mansion entrusted by Li Kang, so she simply hid in the guest house. Secretly check every move on the road.

Zhao Ying saw that Li Dang, who she had been thinking about for a long time, rode a horse and did not return to the official office, but went out directly from the West City Gate not far from the Water Gate with a team of people and horses, she didn't know what Li Dang was going to do. Suspicious, she was about to go downstairs to take a look, but she saw Tong Guan.

Although she was dressed in the clothes of an ordinary merchant, Zhao Ying still recognized this person as a tall eunuch with a beard under her chin, because in Hangzhou, this Tong Guan and Li Kang's several open and secret battles left a deep impression on her.

Zhao Ying saw Tong Guan walking in disguise, with a suspicious appearance, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and later she saw Tong Guan assigned three archers with bows and swords, sneakily out of the West City Gate, knowing that Tong Guan must be unfavorable to Li Kang, so he changed into tight-fitting clothes, carried weapons, and didn't go downstairs quickly.

At this time, Zhao Ying also thought about dealing with Tong Guan first, after all, his existence was an eternal threat to his brother Kang, but as soon as he thought that those archers might have chased Li Kang, he hurried to the west of the city.

Zhao Ying quickly caught up with the archers, and she saw with her own eyes that the three archers dumped the dung bucket and took out the bows and arrows wrapped in layers of oiled paper.

The Song Dynasty forbade ordinary people to carry weapons, strictly, not even a sickle, but because there are often some martial arts people who always want to bring a sword or something when they go out, the government can't ban it, so they can only let it go, but for long-range weapons of destruction bows and arrows are very strict, if someone carries a strong bow and is caught by the government, the light will be punished, and the heavy will be exiled for thousands of miles.

Although these three archers only carried three bows and arrows, they carried nearly a hundred bows and arrows with them, and if they were caught, it would of course be a felony. So the three of them were very careful, and they came out all the way, only to feel that there was really no one nearby, so they opened the oil paper bag and armed themselves.

They knew that Li Kang had a large number of men, and the three of them could only outwit them, not force them, otherwise even if they killed Li Kang, they might not be blessed to enjoy the thousand taels of gold.

They had already persuaded Tong Guan before setting off that as long as they killed Li Kang and it was confirmed, they could receive a bounty of 1,000 taels, and there was no longer any need to cut off Li Kang's head and go to Tong Guan to exchange it.

They were all sharpshooters, so they all thought of secretly shooting Li Kang with arrows. They felt that they would take a small path, go around to the front of Li Kang, set up an ambush in front of Li Kang, wait for Li Kang to arrive, shoot Li Kang with their swords, and then wait for the opportunity to escape.

The west of the city of Taiyuan Mansion is full of lofty mountains and mountains, and they believe that after shooting Li Kang, the three of them will be able to retreat with their whole body, because they are all archers, and when they are in Lanzhou City on Qinfeng Road, they can use an arrow to eliminate a Western Xia person, and now, they have already secretly counted the number of Li Kang and his party, and found that it should not exceed a hundred, and the bows and arrows on their backs exceeded a white branch.

In other words, theoretically speaking, they can wipe out Li Gan and his party, but theory is theory after all, and now they only have three people after all, and they are weak, unless they feel that they can send out five long arrows at the same time, and each one hits the opponent, otherwise, they will not take this risk to snipe Li Gan's worthless men.

The three of them stepped up their speed and moved towards the Hanging Urn Mountain, they didn't know that not far behind them, Zhao Ying, who was light and light, was following them closely like a shadow. (To be continued......)
