This time back to Meilong Town, there is Lao Wei, an old horse who knows the way to the guide, there are a lot of unnecessary troubles on the way back to the hometown, and the matter is urgent, the matter of choosing a new teacher for Princess Crescent Moon must not be delayed, so the two carriages along the way are fast horses, except for staying in the store and playing sharp, rarely stop to rest, so it normally takes more than 20 days to travel less than two-thirds of the time, and the scene of Meilong Town appears in the field of vision of several people.

"The mountains and rivers are beautiful, surrounded by green trees, birds are singing in the sky, fish are diving at the bottom, picking chrysanthemums in the east fence, leisurely Nanshan, I can't imagine that Meilong is such a quiet place, no wonder your aunt is unwilling to go to Yangzhou, and to live here, hehe, I don't want to leave." The curtain of the carriage was opened, Zheng Xing looked at the scenery in the distance and couldn't help but say - even if it is a housekeeper, there is a grade, the housekeeper of a large family in the capital is not comparable to ordinary people, like Zheng Xing, who can stand alone in the Zheng family, and is responsible for handling the affairs of one party, can read and write, can calculate accounts, can calculate, and be good at communicating. I'm afraid those scholars can't catch up with the horses).

"Well, the closer you go, the better the view." After leaving for more than two years, the scenery of Meilong Town has not changed much, the mountain is still the same mountain, the water is still the same water, even the road stepped on by the carriages and pedestrians does not seem to have changed much, the road surface is rugged and uneven, the carriage walks on it and is swaying, bumpy and bumpy, there is a different feeling, it is easy to remind Tan Xiaotian of the scene when he passed by this road last time, but the last time he left, and this time he returned. It's the same bumpy road, but the mood is very different.

"Hehe, then when you arrive in Meilong Town, can you be a guide and take Uncle Zheng for a good turn?" Zheng Xing asked with a smile - no matter what calculations and arrangements the head of the Zheng family made to Tan Xiaotian, this child may become Princess Crescent's Go teacher after all, and have the opportunity to meet the emperor, and even if there is no such relationship, the matter of Lin Baoliang entrusting him to send a letter to the current prime minister Zhang Bainian cannot be taken lightly (the Lin family brothers visited Lin Baoliang and came back from visiting Lin Baoliang that day, and talked to him about this matter, and discussed whether Tan Xiaotian could not be allowed to see Zhang Bainian and the Zheng family would do it for him. But after careful analysis, Zheng Jifu proposed that in case the letter mentioned that Tan Xiaotian would send the letter in person, wouldn't that be the opposite of a tiger, and lift a stone to hit his own feet, but it would cause Xiang Ye's displeasure, and the letter to Xiang Ye, no matter how bold the Zheng family was, did not dare to withhold or open it, so this proposal was quickly rejected), in this case, Zheng Xing deliberately approached Tan Xiaotian along the way. With his tactfulness and means, it is easy for him and Tan Xiaotian to become a good friend and good friend who talks about everything.

"Yes, of course." Tan Xiaotian replied without hesitation. Children's psychology always likes to let others see what they think is good and share it with others, of course. If it's unique or not readily available, that's another matter, and landscapes are clearly not one of them.

"Stop!" Just when a few people were talking and laughing and making arrangements for the program of the past few days. A loud shout came from behind a mound on the side of the road, and several people were scared, and they hurriedly turned their heads to look, but saw seven or eight big men coming out from behind the mound, all with hideous expressions, fierce and vicious, some with steel knives in their hands, some with hunting forks, and one with a bow and arrow, the first one was less than forty years old, born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a leopard's head and eyes, a beard, and a scar on the left side of his forehead that was nearly two inches long, stretched out obliquely to his left ear, and almost crossed the corner of his eye by only half a minute. Wearing a cowhide shoulder, the lower side is a crotch shorts, carrying a gold wire ring knife in his hand, the knife is three feet five inches long, the handle is seven inches long, two feet eight inches long, the knife is four inches wide, the back is four minutes thick, the back of the knife is inlaid with a cup of copper rings every three inches and five minutes, a total of seven from beginning to end, the knife body moves, the copper ring makes a piercing collision sound, the sound is terrifying.

After these people jumped out from behind the mound, they quickly surrounded the two carriages, and their actions were very skillful and decisive, without wasting a little time, obviously similar things have been done I don't know how many times - there is only one road, one in front and one in front and back, if you want to run, unless you jump out of the car, but even so, in such a terrain situation, it is basically impossible to escape the pursuit of the bandits.

The big man at the head stood alone in the middle of the road, shouting, "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, I want to pass by, leave to buy road money, and jump half a word with his teeth, hum, kill or bury", with the bandit song, the big ring knife in his hand is still in the air with the knife twice, and the already hideous face is even more ferocious.

I've met a robber!

Encountering a robber less than five miles away from the destination, Zheng Xing and the others were caught off guard, and before they had time to react, they were blocked by the other party before and after, and wanted to rush forward, the robber with the bow and arrow was bending the bow and aiming at this side, although the bow was not a standard strong bow used by the army, but at a distance of less than twenty steps, I am afraid that except for the top martial arts masters, no one dared to bet on the robber's archery accuracy.

The drivers of both carriages were too frightened to move, and both of them sat outside the carriage, without even a little shelter beside them, although they had a horsewhip in their hands, but relying on this thing to fight against the steel knives and bows and arrows in the hands of others was obviously not something they could do, only to stop the carriage and drop the horsewhip to show that they were fully cooperative, and had no intention of resisting.

The housekeeper Zheng Xing's face is very ugly, he is on an errand in the Zheng family, and he mostly runs in prosperous places like Yangzhou and Hangzhou, and he has seen a lot of malicious and difficult officials and bullies, but this kind of roadblock robbery, murder and robbery is the first time, that is, he is calm, and it would be good if others were not scared to pee their pants.

Tan Xiaotian sat next to Zheng Xing, his face was also pale with fright, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the bandit leader without blinking, his teeth were clenched against his lips, his small fists were clenched tightly, and his body was trembling slightly.

"Every day, don't be afraid, there's an uncle here, it's okay." Feeling the trembling of the body of the child next to him, Zheng Xing patted Tan Xiaotian on the shoulder and comforted, although he was also very nervous, he was an adult, and it was his responsibility to protect the child around him.
