Hu and Yi watched all the farmers get back their land deeds, and left Luliang County in the farewell of Gao County's gritted teeth. Not far to the east, is where the Xuzhou Mansion is located, Xuzhou City.

Out of Luliang County, walking along the official road, I saw a mountain beam stretching out in front of me, and the road also turned a corner. At this time, the twilight was slightly cool, and the warm slanting sun just now had already set behind the mountain, leaving patches of red glow in the sky.

"The morning glow doesn't go out, and the sunset travels thousands of miles. Huyan, tomorrow is a good day, let's go out early. Yi Chengjin looked back at Sunset and smiled, at a glance, he was sure that there was no tracking behind him.

"I feel like it's right up ahead, watch out for that mountain beam." Hu Yanjin reminded. It is only two or three miles away from Luliang, and Wang Fa wants to lay an ambush in such a short time, which is the most reasonable position.

Wang Fa agreed happily just now, and the two of them already felt that something was wrong, Wang Fa was afraid that he would not leave a back hand, and he would only be on the road, and he would never stay in Xuzhou City to cause trouble for his brother-in-law.

The two slowed down, turned over the mountain beam, and saw a big tree suddenly in the middle of the road, with branches and leaves, and the horse could not jump directly over, but fortunately the two were alert, the speed was not fast, and the horse stopped in front of the big tree.

"Hahaha...... I actually let you escape ......"

As he spoke, twenty or so men with sticks walked down the slope.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are the beggars who Wang Fa invited to smash the county government, right? However, are the beggars no longer begging and collecting black money? Hu Yanjin said in a loud voice, his left hand had quietly reached into the pocket on the side of the dark cloud.

Yi Chengjin took advantage of Hu Yanjin's conversation stall and had already touched his bow, but the quiver was on the other side of the horse.

"Huyan, my arrows!"

Hu Yanjin glanced at the quiver, and had already grabbed a handful of stones in his hand, these stones were specially prepared flakes, and flying out with greater accuracy.

He smiled slightly and said in a loud voice: "You are both poor people, but you are bullying the poor for the sake of the tiger, are you worthy of your conscience?" ”

"What is conscience? Can conscience eat? The beggar at the head felt that Hu Yanjin was about to make a move, so he quickened his pace and protected the stick in his hand in front of him.

Hu Yanjin stopped talking nonsense, flew out of the stone with one hand, threw the quiver backwards with the other, and then flew out with another stone.

These two stones were not accurate and strong enough, allowing the other party to easily dodge. The beggar at the head laughed: "You dare to use a three-year-old child's stuff to offer ugliness?" ”

"Really? Now let's look at the child's father! A piece of stone came in response and hit his Yin Hall directly, and before he could react, he didn't say a word and fell to the ground on his back.

The beggars were stunned for a moment, and they all rushed down quickly, but they didn't expect Yi Chengjin's arrows to be faster, as if they were not shooting arrows by one person, but by three people shooting arrows at the same time.

Only three or four rushed in front of them, and they were also whipped by Hu Yanjin's whip and rolled all over the ground. Just as Yi Chengjin drew his sword and was about to go over and end their lives, he suddenly heard a voice: "Wait!" ”

An old man with black hair and white beard named Hanako jumped down from a large tree next to her.

"Xu Jiugong?" Hu Yanjin blurted out.

"Oh? Do you recognize me? It must have been the girl who told you, since you know each other, you don't need to introduce yourself...... These people on the ground left them alive and told them to go back and tell the Southern Beggars that if they dared to do anything wrong, the Northern Beggars would clear the portal for them.

I had already set my eyes on them while they were doing things on the road, and after listening to their conversations, I realized that they had taken money from others, and not only did they trap the peasants, but also took your lives. However, Lao Zhaohua also wanted to try your skills, so he didn't rush to do it. ”

After Xu Jiugong finished speaking, he kicked a beggar's ass and scolded: "Don't get out yet!" A beggar is a beggar, dressed like a dog, and has forgotten his roots, right? ”

The people who didn't die on the ground even crawled up, and just about to leave, they were stopped by Xu Jiugong again: "Come back!" ”

"Gang Master Xu, didn't you always say that you let us go?" One of them asked with a sad face. If you don't let go, you won't be able to run away by yourself.

"How did you bring this tree down, just move it back!"

Hu Yanjin looked back and saw that the dark clouds and the wind were eating the leaves of the young trees, eating happily.

After the beggars left, Xu Jiugong sighed and said, "Now the northern and southern beggars have been mixed together because of the relocation of the capital. Emperor Yongle repaired the palace, dug canals, and various vassal kings engaged in land annexation, and there were more and more homeless beggars, which were all hidden dangers of the Ming Dynasty.

Back then, Emperor Taizu once asked me to use the power of the beggars to restrain the homeless, but the world changed, and the old beggar was powerless and ashamed of the first emperor. Seeing the two young people silently walking beside them, each with their own concerns, Xu Jiugong smiled and said to Hu Yanjin:

"Since you are Hua Qiao's senior brother and have good skills, and she trusts you, please take care of her more, not to seek wealth and wealth, but to ensure her safety for the rest of her life. If necessary, find a beggar dressed in rags to spread the word, and I will do my best to help you. ”

Although Hu Yanjin was surprised by Xu Jiugong's concern for Hua Qiao, he could only nod his head and promise: Hua Qiao just saved a little beggar, is there anything special about this little beggar, Jiugong immediately accepted him as an apprentice, and he is grateful to Hua Qiao?

Xu Jiugong stopped, waved his hand at them, and said, "Farewell to the two of you." The old man asked Hua to stay, take a trip to Luliang, and go to meet the king who has no royal law, let him suffer a little, and take the heart that swallows the land for nothing as soon as possible. ”

In the twilight, Hu Yanjin and the two rode towards Xuzhou City.

In the next few days, they walked smoothly, the two of them stopped and stopped, talking about the past and the present all the way, and before night fell on the fifth day, the two entered the gate of Shuntianfu.

Hu Yanjin This is the first time to come to Shuntian, the tall city wall is very similar to Yingtian, and when he entered the city, he found that even the layout of the street had the shadow of Yingtianfu.

Yi Chengjin smiled: "You are surprised that it is very similar to Ying Tianfu, right?" If you enter the palace, you will only be more surprised, the Northern Capital Palace is simply a copy of the Southern Capital Palace. It's late tonight, go to the inn for a good night's sleep, and go to James Mansion tomorrow morning to resume your life. ”

Hu Yanjin nodded, and at a glance, there were many inns on both sides of the street, as well as many snack shops, steaming hot. He suddenly thought that if the greedy cat saw so many delicious foods, he would definitely rush over happily.

At this thought, I couldn't help but feel a little distracted, and the corners of my mouth also hooked a smile.

Yi Chengjin saw that he didn't speak, and thought that he couldn't make up his mind, so he followed his gaze and pointed to a quaintly decorated inn and said:

"That's the Yongfu Inn. It's clean inside, it's close to me, I'll take you to visit the northern capital of Shuntian these days! ”
