This day is still rainy and rainy, and Zou Shiyan is about to arrive in Suizhou with Luo Dali and a group of soldiers.

Not far away is an inn, and a shed is simply built outside, which should be for pedestrians to rest, sell some tea, and earn a few running money.

There's also a man who doesn't stand tall inside.

The rainy day is to make people feel irritable, although Zou Shiyan is anxious to return home, but the road is slippery, there is still a lot of stagnant water, in order to avoid people from turning over on their backs, their group began to slow down.

When it was time to take shelter from the rain in the guest house, Zou Shiyan and his party hid in the shed, looking at the rain outside, it was estimated that it might be sunny in about two hours.

"General! Do you have any other relatives in Suizhou City? Luo Dali asked.

He only knew that Zou Shiyan's parents should have died, otherwise it would be impossible to join the army, his parents were not far away, and General Zou didn't look like a person from a poor family, it was very common to spend money to avoid enlistment.

Zou Shiyan took a sip of hot tea, and immediately felt a lot more relaxed, this tea looked like it was picked from the nearby mountains and made it, it was not expensive but had an extra aroma, which made people's fatigue swept away.

"I also have a younger brother studying at home!" Zou Shiyan smiled, remembering Zou Shichu's appearance before he left, and now he has grown a lot taller!

At this time, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves not far away, and Zou Shiyan drank Luo Dali and looked over, it was a caravan.

Several carriages walked in the middle, and there were more than a dozen people outside to protect the team, but on such a rainy day, the wheels of the carriages were stuck in the mud, and it could be said that it was difficult to move an inch.

"It seems that doing business is really hard, and this kind of rainy day has to come out!" Luo Dali sighed.

Of course, they also worked hard, and they sacrificed their lives and forgot to die on the battlefield, which is really the hardships of the world.

Just as he was drinking tea, he heard a dozen or twenty big men dressed in green forests running out of the forest not far away, each holding a knife.

The caravan transporting the goods was immediately frightened.

They immediately approached the carriage and tried to block the goods with their bodies, but to no avail, and the eyes of the robbers kept looking, as if trying to see through the cloth covering the carriage to see what was really valuable.

"I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to pass from here, leave to buy road money!" A man at the head shouted with a knife, and as soon as he heard this words, he knew that he was a robber.

An old man immediately came out of the caravan and said with a smile, "Several, we are in a hurry to deliver the goods, can it be convenient, and we will invite a few people to drink with this money!" ”

As he spoke, the old man took out a bag from his sleeve, which seemed to contain some broken silver.

The leading man took it, then casually weighed it and smiled.

The old man thought that this was the end, but just as he was about to turn away, he heard the leading robber say, "Hmph! I want to fool Uncle Ben with this money, you have really lived enough, leave the carriage behind, and I will let you live, otherwise...... Hum! ”

The meaning of this is obvious, that is, the little money just now is not enough, and it is a dozen or twenty robbers who want their goods.

The old man's pupils immediately shrank, their goods this time must be urgent, otherwise it is impossible to go out of the city to deliver goods in the rain on a rainy day, and they also have a time limit, and they have already delayed a little time on the road.

"You, do you know where this is?" The old man asked, holding out a hand and pointing at the leading robber.

"Where? Isn't it Suizhou? Where do I care about him? The lead robber said, and then laughed.

The robbers behind him were also laughing, as if they were laughing at the old man.

"This is Suizhou, where Tang's screening is located!" The old man had no choice but to report this sentence.

However, the robbers did not seem to be locals, and they were indifferent when they heard this.

"What's wrong with the Tang family? What does it have to do with us, regardless of whether he is the Tang family or the Zhang family, we all have to stay and buy road money when we meet us today! One of the robbers shouted with a laugh.

The old man also understood at this time that these robbers were not locals at all, or they were not from Jiangzhou City, and they were probably just coming up the mountain from other places, and there was no hall situation at all, so they didn't know who the Tang family was, let alone what the city under the mountain looked like!

"Alright, don't talk nonsense with this old man, hurry up, it's still raining! Take these things away, and when we go back, we can go into the city to eat and drink spicy food! One of the robbers said impatiently.

The other robbers immediately put their broadswords in front of them, ready to attack at any moment.

And the caravan escort people went all the way before, for more than a year, because the escort team of the Tang Clan Trading House was too powerful, there were no bandits and bandits in the vicinity for hundreds of miles, so that they didn't need to ask the people of the dart bureau to escort them when they went to a nearby place, and now, they only had a few guys with knives just in case, and the others all had no weapons, not to mention that these ten or twenty people were all strong men, and it was not too much to do three.

Thinking like this, the old man's face continued to have water flowing down, I don't know if it was the rain condensing and flowing down, or the sweat of anxiety.

Not far away, Zou Shiyan and Luo Dali both saw this scene.

Luo Dali was about to pick up the big knife on the table and go out to fight the grievances, when he saw Zou Shi's hand pressing on his hand, preventing him from standing up.

He thought that Zou Shiyan didn't want to meddle in things, so he hurriedly said, "General, I will take care of this matter, it will definitely not affect our Northwest Army, I think these bandits are just not cleaned up, if they are sent to the battlefield, they will already be scared to the point of urine, how can they still scare ordinary people here!" ”

Luo Dali is most unaccustomed to this kind of person, as a dignified seven-foot man, even if he is not as good as killing the enemy on the battlefield to serve the country, at least he can't attack ordinary people, he really hates one of these people when he sees one, and he can't wait to kill them all!

After Zou Shiyan suppressed Luo Dali's movements, when he heard this, he didn't explain anything, but said to Luo Dali, "You go on!" ”

"Next? What to see? Luo Dali thought to himself.

Who knows, just as he was marching, there was a more violent sound of horses' hooves from not far away.

Subsequently, a group of people came out of the forest, the number was not much, only five, but judging from the posture of riding a horse, it should be Lianjiazi.

Luo Dali didn't know what to ask, but he saw that his general's face, which had never been very smiling, actually showed a smile.

Then he saw that the men on horseback were about to stop when they were about to reach the place where the robbers had just been, and the robbers immediately separated a small wave of men and horses around the group behind them, intending to surround them.
