As the two of them whispered, the group of soldiers had surrounded them, and the leader shouted at them, "What are you two doing in the woods?" ”

Qi Lu smiled and said, "What else can I do, of course it's to take advantage of the cold." ”

"Phew, you came to enjoy the cool in March, I think your brain is burning, right?"

Qi Lu's neck stiffened, and he replied unceremoniously: "The law of the Great Song Dynasty didn't say that the cool should also depend on the season, right?" ”

"Hmph, I can't see that your mouth is quite hard!" The general waved his hand, and his soldiers immediately put their broadswords around their necks.

"You two are sneaky, and you don't look like good people." The general shouted: "Say, do you want the assassins sent by Liaobang to assassinate your lords?" ”

Qi Lu was stunned, only then did he realize that something was wrong, he squinted and saw an official sedan chair parked outside the forest, and there were soldiers guarding the front and back of the sedan chair, he immediately understood that there was a big man passing by, and the soldiers who protected him saw that he and Lao Wu Linzhong were acting suspiciously, so they came to investigate.

Lao Wu also sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, and he said with a smiling face: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have misunderstood, we are passing merchants, and we will rest in the forest for a while and leave." ”

"Merchant?" The general looked them up and down and sneered, "And what about your goods and luggage?" ”

"This" Lao Wu suddenly couldn't answer.

"Brothers, give it to me, tie up these two thieves and go to see your lord!"

Qi Lu couldn't help but be angry when he heard this, he was about to swing his fist and knock the general who spoke to the ground, when he saw Lao Wu glaring at him and asking him not to act rashly, so he forced this anger into his heart, and let a few soldiers come up and tie him up strongly.

Everyone pushed Qi Lu and Lao Wu to the luxurious official sedan chair, and a soldier at the head saw that Qi Lu Chang did not kneel, and immediately hit him with a stick, Qi Lu suddenly felt that his leg was numb, and he knelt down.

Qi Lu's fire rose again, and as soon as he wanted to get up, several soldiers saw his unruly appearance, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold his shoulders down, and now Qi Lu couldn't even raise his head, and only saw Lao Wu kneeling next to him and laughing at him during the struggle.

"Who is kneeling outside the sedan car?" The person in the sedan did not appear, but only said majestic words.

Qi Lu hurriedly shouted: "We are the people passing by, and we are accused of being bandits by these officers and soldiers!" ”

The general who arrested Qi Lu stepped forward and said, "Master, don't listen to the nonsense of these thieves. Their whereabouts are suspicious, one moment they say they are tourists, and the other time they say they are businessmen. According to Xiao's point of view, these two people must be treacherous, so it is better to go back to the mansion and find out for the first trial. ”

Taishi? Qi Lu was startled, thinking that this official is not small, he is in the first grade.

"Okay, just according to what you say, go back and interrogate them in detail, and if it's an ordinary person, give them some silver taels to comfort them and let them go."

After the Taishi said this, he stopped speaking, and several sedan chair drivers immediately raised the sedan chair knowingly, and the entourage who opened the way in front hurriedly sounded the gong, and the group walked forward in a mighty way.

After the general got on his horse, he waved his hand, and several soldiers with meaty faces immediately escorted Qi Lu and Lao Wu to the back of the team and followed the team.

Along the way, Qi Lu kept complaining about Lao Wu: "Now you are satisfied, you have been beaten inexplicably when you crossed over, and I don't know how much you will suffer later." ”

Lao Wu said lightly: "Don't you think this matter is a bit strange, I just came to the Song Dynasty and met a big person, I'm afraid this is already in the calculation of Zhuhai." ”

"yes, I just don't know what the hell these two old guys are messing with." Qi Lu also came to his senses, he looked at the escorted soldiers and whispered, "Listening to the words of this Taishi, he looks like a good official." Let's sum it up, make up a good confession, and don't wait for the next interrogation to show these people the flaws. ”

Suddenly, Qi Lu heard a sharp whistle coming from the forest in front of him, followed by countless sharp arrows breaking through the air!

"Oh no, there are assassins!"

This arrow came suddenly, and the soldiers who defended the Taishi fell to the ground one after another, and the soldiers who escorted Qi Lu and Lao Wu also died with arrows through their chests. Some officers and soldiers who were not dead hurriedly rushed up and surrounded the sedan chair in which the Taishi was riding to prevent the enemy from sneaking up.

At this moment of panic, everyone's attention was all on Taishi, and no one could take care of Qi Lu and Lao Wu anymore. Seeing that the opportunity had come, Qi Lu hurriedly glanced at Lao Wu, and then rolled on the spot and fell into the grass on the side of the road. Lao Wu also ran over and bowed down.

Another whistle sounded, and dozens of black-clad assassins burst out of the deep forest, and they all rushed towards the official sedan chair. The remaining officers and soldiers also stepped forward to resist with their weapons, and the sound of killing on the quiet official road suddenly shook the sky.

Lao Wu watched the two teams fighting, and said to Qi Lu: "The opportunity is here, let's run quickly." ”

Qi Lu grinned and said calmly: "What's the hurry, let's take a look at the excitement first." ”

"It's too late, and we won't be happy until either side wins. The Taishi will treat us as fellow thieves, and the assassins will definitely want to kill us in order to keep the secret. ”

"With these scum, you can kill us?" Qi Lu said slowly: "You can't have a little luck, why do you want to run away all day long?" ”

"So what do you say?" As he spoke, Lao Wu broke free of the thick rope tied to his body with both arms.

Qi Lu smiled evilly and said, "Have you thought about it, if we help Taishi repel these thieves, wouldn't it be a great achievement?" ”

"yes, why didn't I think of such a good idea?" Lao Wu also laughed, and he shouted: "Go! "The man flew up like a wild goose and fell into the crowd of people who were fighting.

"Alas, I said why are you more anxious than me!" Qi Lu scolded lightly and broke free from the rope, his feet were stunned, and he pounced straight down, stretched out his hand to knock down an assassin in front of him, snatched the long sword in his hand, and stabbed the assassin who had just gotten up to the core.

The group of assassins were all shocked to see Qi Lu easily kill a companion, and the leader immediately put away his blades and said: "Which way is my friend, we kill corrupt officials for Tianxingdao, don't you wade into this troubled water!" ”

Qi Lu held the sword in his hand, and laughed loudly, the laughter was incomparable, and the laughter was incomparable, shaking everyone's ears buzzing. The leader couldn't help but feel a slight chill in his heart when he saw his deep internal strength, and raised his voice: "Friend, why are you laughing? ”

Qi Lu's expression froze, and he said loudly: "Since it is for the heavens, you should do things above board, what kind of hero is such a disguised sneak attack!" I'm idle and bored today, and I happen to see that the road is uneven, so I'll play a few tricks with you! ”

When everyone heard Qi Lu's contemptuous words, they all looked at each other, so they were not surprised.

The leader was even more furious, and he scolded loudly: "If you want to be willing to be an eagle dog of the court, then don't blame me for being rude, I will kill you and this dog official today!" Brothers, give it to me, solve this dogleg first! ”

Everyone roared up and attacked Qi Lu with all their might. Qi Lu smiled, not afraid at all. After all, no matter how powerful these people are, they are just some martial arts people who can't spell, and Qi Lu is still more than enough to deal with them.

Seeing Qi Lu's body swaying, before everyone could see how he lifted his feet, he had already swept past Zhang Xu and fell behind the assassins. He reached out with a fist and knocked down the masked man closest to him.

The leader was shocked, knowing that Qi Lu's martial arts were a strong opponent, so he quickly turned around and slashed at him.

Qi Lu easily dodged this trick and said with a chuckle: "You have such skills, which is not bad." As he spoke, he grabbed it in one step, pulled away the leader's long sword, and kicked out his flying legs in a row, and his legs were all over the sky, dazzling people's eyes. The leader had nowhere to hide, and was immediately kicked to the ground by Qi Lu.

Qi Lu took advantage of the victory to pursue, swung his sword out, and used five moves in a row, stabbing several people in front of him. The palms of those assassins suddenly went numb, and all the weapons in their hands fell to the ground.

Qi Lu was already merciful to his subordinates, but he stabbed them without harming their lives. But these assassins were all shocked, they had never seen such a hidden master in all their years of wandering.

Qi Lu put away the sword in his hand, smiled and said, "Don't you go quickly, do you still want to have a few tricks with me?" ”

When the leader heard Qi Lu's words, he immediately knew that he was merciful, so he quickly put his hand in his mouth and whistled, and these assassins instantly rushed into the forest, and escaped before the officers and soldiers could come to their senses.

Qi Lu sneered and watched them leave, threw his sword on the ground, and said to Lao Wu: "The show is over, we should also leave." ”

"Let's go, we're not familiar with life here, where do you want to go?" Lao Wu was confused, pulled his sleeve and whispered: "Defeated the strong enemy, why don't you find that Taishi to receive some rewards before leaving?" ”

Qi Lu put his index finger to his lips with ulterior motives and made a silencing word, and then pulled Lao Wu to urge him to leave quickly.

At this time, he couldn't walk even if he wanted to, when a middle-aged man wearing a Confucian hat and a silk robe walked out of the sedan chair, he walked quickly to Qi Lu and said, "Two strong men, please stay." ”

"What, you still want to take us into the mansion as assassins?" Qi Lu grinned and said, "If I had been in the same group of assassins just now, you would have died a long time ago." ”

The middle-aged man replied politely: "Why is the strong man joking with his subordinates, it was just a misunderstanding just now, and I hope that you have a lot of them, don't care about the rudeness of those subordinates." ”

"In that case, there is no misunderstanding between us, let's go our separate ways and get together again when we have time."

"Strongman, please listen to me!" The middle-aged Confucian suddenly panicked, hurriedly blocked Qi Lu's way, and said with a smile: "The strong man has the courage to save my family's master, how can such a great favor not be repaid!" I know that the two high-ranking people don't care about fame and fortune, but if the two of them want to leave, this is trapping the Taishi in injustice! ”

Qi Lu pretended to be surprised and said, "What did you say, sir?" ”

"What a difference is it that there is a kindness and not reciprocating the beast!" The middle-aged Confucian said loudly: "Please let the two of you come to the mansion to talk, at least let the world know that my Pang Mansion is a person who knows heroes and respects heroes." ”

"We are just mountain and grass people, how dare we alarm the master, so let's just leave it at that." Qi Lu wants to go, but he still stays.

At this moment, an attendant opened the curtain of the sedan car, and an old man with a gorgeous dress and a rich face came out of the sedan chair and said: "Please stay, please listen to the words of the old man Pang Ji!" ”
