The Li brothers were chatting while rushing to the night road, taking the road to Beijing, they wanted to rush to Shangjing before Zhao Ying and Cao San, so that they could meet those Liao customers first.

Without those heavy books, no salutes, and the desire to meet the Liao people as soon as possible, the four of them walked very briskly, and they had already walked more than fifty miles in one night.

Seeing that the sky was about to light up, several people began to feel a little tired, but Boss Li was the first to speak, saying: "Seeing that it is about to dawn, it is better to find a place to sit and rest, and then find a way to go to the nearby ranch to get a few cows and horses, so as to save your legs." ”

The fourth child was shocked: "Boss, let's not take the mountain road anymore?" ”

Boss Li glanced at the fourth child and said: "Do we have any prohibited items on us now, why do we have to take the mountain road, this Khitan country is full of grassland and deserts, so we will choose the nearest straight road to go over." ”

Li Lao Er nodded and said: "Most of these Liao people want to live in tents and don't like to stay in the city, so their city doesn't want our city to be so strict with the personnel check, we can go straight to Beijing, but just now I heard that the eldest brother said that he only has five or six taels of silver on his body, where are we going to get cattle and horses?" ”

Boss Li laughed and said, "Second brother, have you forgotten what your eldest brother used to do?" ”

"I see!"

The second, fourth, and fifth children all laughed, and they remembered that Boss Li was a habitual thief, and he was naturally familiar with stealing chickens and dogs.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sun had not yet come out and the sky was still dark, the four of them sneaked up on a pasture at the foot of the mountain and wanted to take some horses out.

Boss Li found some good fodder and grass for everyone to hold in their hands. A group of men ascertained the terrain and secretly approached the outermost stable, which they knew was that the horses in this stable were different from those in other stables, and that they were generally tamed. And the saddle stirrups are already ready.

When Li Lao Li opened the iron lock on the low door, several people entered the stable, and while feeding a steed, they led it to leave the stable.

At this moment, a black man came out from behind the stable, and he bared his teeth and said to Boss Li, "Who are you?" ”

The man saw that Boss Li didn't react, as if he couldn't understand, so he said again: "You want to steal the horse, are you really bold?" This time, this man used a stiff Central Plains official dialect.

Boss Li didn't expect that there were people in the locked stable, and he was shocked. Just about to turn over and get on his horse and force himself out. Unexpectedly, the man's martial arts were very high, and a mace weighing hundreds of pounds was like a bamboo pole in his hand, and with a slight wave on Boss Li's head, he forced Boss Li back several steps.

The man stepped forward again, kicked Boss Li to the ground with one leg, and the mace in his hand was pressed against Boss Li's head, and he said: "If you want to leave, it's not so easy." ”

The second and fourth and fifth Li on the side were stunned. hurriedly stepped out to stop him: "Don't hurt my eldest brother!" Several people saw that this person was strong in martial arts, but none of them dared to take a step forward.

The man snorted coldly and said, "Just you little thieves, it's not enough for me to have a mace!" ”

Only then did Boss Li take advantage of the morning light leaking in from outside the stable to find that the clothes of the big man in front of him were torn. Covered in blood, he grew more and more frightened, knowing that the man in front of him was probably an outlaw, and wondered why he was hiding in this stable full of bedbugs.

This man in black is none other than him. It was Harawa, who had broken out of the siege of Xiao Yu, who was badly wounded and knew he would not be able to hold out for long. He simply fled to this nearby ranch and hid here to heal himself.

He found some medicine for the horses in the stable, and thought that the horses in the stables had not changed their wild nature, and feared that their neighing would reveal their identity, so he turned over and entered the stable.

Harawa bandaged his wounds, and hid in the stable for a day and a night, and today he saw that it was about to dawn, and he really wanted to steal the horse and run, but he did not expect to meet the Lee brothers just in time.

From the costumes of the four Li brothers, Harawa knew that they were not herdsmen, but had come to steal horses, so he boldly appeared.

Harawa looked at the four people who had been frightened by himself, and he said in his blunt Central Plains official dialect: "Take out the money on your body quickly, and don't want your copper coins!" "He is penniless now, and he doesn't know if Bhutanese Hongwu has escaped, he wants to sneak into Datong Mansion to find out the news, of course, he wants some entanglement on his body to feel more at ease.

Boss Li was stunned, he wanted to come over to steal the horse, but he didn't expect to be robbed instead, he was really unlucky today.

Li Lao Er woke up, and he hurriedly said: "This master, we are all penniless, penniless, and we have no way out, so we remembered to come here to steal horses." ”

Of course he didn't believe that they would be penniless, so he pointed the mace in his hand to Li Lao Er and said, "Whether you want your life or money, you can weigh it yourself!" After speaking, he was going to smash the mace on Boss Li's head.

Boss Li fell to the ground, his legs trembled, he was afraid that the mace weighing more than 100 catties would fall on his head, that is, the skull bloomed and blood splashed, he hurriedly said: "Yes, I have two taels of silver on my body." After speaking, he reached into his arms, and after touching the silver for a long time, he did not find any silver, and it turned out that he wanted to take out two taels of silver from the bag.

Harawa saw that Boss Li had been grinding for a long time, and did not find a single ingot of silver, he was annoyed, he put the mace on the ground heavily, and personally reached out and took out a big cloth bag from Boss Li's arms, he put it in his hand and weighed it, grinned and said: "You guy is really not honest, there are fifty taels of silver in it, and he actually said that it is only two taels!" ”

Boss Li's face was red, he secretly looked at Li Lao Er and the others, and found that they all turned their heads and ignored him, obviously they also agreed with Harawa's words, thinking that Boss Li was too dishonest.

It turned out that every time they went to Liao, everyone first raised eighty taels of silver and put it on Boss Li according to their own share, and Boss Li paid it uniformly. This time, Boss Li lied that he only had five or six taels of silver on him, apparently to covet more than forty taels of silver from other people, and when it was time to check out, he lied that he was put in the baggage and taken away by Cao San.
