Between the mountains.

A mighty convoy marched along the main road towards the county seat of Qinghe.

Yan Yingzhou rode in front of the team, and the carriage that Jiang Junshou rode slowly drove in the middle of the team.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in Qinghe County, and Jiang Junshou was tired of sitting in the car, raised the curtain and asked his accompanying subordinates: "Is it almost there?" ”

The subordinate replied: "After crossing the hill in front, you can reach the Qing ...... in less than half a day."

Before he could finish speaking, someone suddenly shouted, "There is an ambush!" ”

There was a shouting and shouting sound in the mountains and forests, and hundreds of bandits suddenly appeared before and after, and the team of Chongjiang County Guard came to kill them.

Jiang Junshou was shocked and sat down in the carriage.

Shocked left and right, he drew his sword and killed the thief.

Yan Yingzhou rode his horse and rushed into the enemy formation, snatched the spear in the enemy's hand, and the spear danced as a dragon, and picked up more than a dozen people one after another.

The screams resounded outside the car, the crisp sound of swords colliding, and the dull sound of weapons penetrating into the bones, Jiang Junshou was terrified when he heard it.

I don't know how long the killing outside lasted.

Jiang Junshou sat paralyzed in the car, only to hear someone say loudly: "What are you waiting for? ”

He had the courage to lift the curtain and take a look, only to see dozens of men suddenly emerging from the grass and woods.

There were not many people left on his side, and they were almost exhausted, fighting and retreating at the same time, gradually moving closer to the middle.

The ground was littered with corpses.

Only Yan Yingzhou rode a white horse, held a spear, and galloped in the enemy formation, as if entering a no-man's land.

"I'd rather see Yama than Jun ......"

Jiang Junshou was stunned, and his heart was shocked and full of surprise, seeing more enemies pouring out from all directions.

"You don't do it yet!" The bandit who came out first shouted to the people behind.

At the last moment, there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves in the direction of the county seat.

The man at the head of the group, dressed in a fast trapping costume, rushed with a horse and a knife, and cut down the thieves on the outer edge under the horse.

Then, nearly 100 officials rode up and killed the bandits by surprise.

The bandit shouted at the people in the woods, "Yao Yu! You don't keep your word......"

Before the words fell, he was hit by an arrow in the head and fell to the ground on the spot.

"Brother Yan, we're here!"

Chen Ye slashed several enemies one after another, and rode his horse to Yan Yingzhou's side.

Yan Yingzhou glanced at the carriage behind him, and said in a loud voice: "Chen Zhutou, escort Master Jiang to go first." ”

When Jiang Jun Shou saw that the reinforcements had arrived, he finally put his mind at ease, and urged repeatedly: "Don't let any of these bandits go!" ”

"Obedience." The corners of Yan Yingzhou's lips hooked, and he looked coldly into the depths of the trees.

Those men turned around and killed the bandits, and shouted violently: "Kill! ”

The remaining dozens of bandits saw that the reinforcements turned against each other, and all of them lost their fighting spirit and retreated, and they were soon almost killed.

Yan Yingzhou intercepted a few live mouths and asked Chen Ye to bring them forward.

In the woods, Yao Yu walked out quickly, saluted the people in the carriage, and said, "The lower official is late to escort the car, so I specially ask the county guard for the guilt." ”

The captive glared at him, spat at him with a "bah", and scolded: "Yao Yu! You two-faced villain. ”

Everyone stared at Yao Yu in unison.

Yao Yu calmly accepted it and said: "Lord Jiang is tolerant, and the lower officials and Xun County Commander jointly set a plan to lure the snake out of the hole. ”

"These people," he said, glancing at the corpses on the ground, "are not bandits at all, but Zhong Erye's people in disguise." ”

Yan Yingzhou was noncommittal, and glanced at Chen Ye.

The captive was angry, speechless, and suddenly broke away from the person who pressed him, and rushed towards Yan Yingzhou like crazy.

Yan Yingzhou's body swept away, avoiding the man's attack, and his long legs swept him to the ground, raising his foot to step on his throat.

The captive's throat creaked.

Yan Yingzhou moved his toes, stared at him condescendingly, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your wife, and your grandmother," the captive laughed strangely, "and one will die, my master asks, who do you choose?" ”

Everyone's expressions changed.

Second Master Zhong locked up Old Lady Yan and Ruan Si in two places, one in an abandoned warehouse in the west of the city and one in a private mansion in the east of the city.

Barrels of lamp oil and dry wood were placed in both places, and the people who were guarding there were given the same instructions.

If Yan Yingzhou does not appear before dusk, he will set fire to the hostages.

If Yan Yingzhou knew each other and took the initiative to send him to the door, then he would be exchanged for hostages to die.

Chen Ye looked up at the sky and said worriedly, "Brother Yan, there is less than an hour left. ”

Jiang Junshou said loudly: "The soldiers are divided into two ways, each going to save people. ”

Yan Yingzhou suddenly crushed his toes, crushed the captive's throat with a gurgling sound, and said coldly: "Where is my grandmother locked up?" ”

The captive struggled to squeeze two words out of his throat, "Chengxi." ”

He kicked the prisoner away, hugged his fist at Chen Ye and said, "Brother Chen, you have to take someone away." ”

Yao Yu bowed his head beside him and said, "Lord Yan, don't worry, I will personally lead people to the east of the city, and I will not let Second Master Zhong's tricks succeed." ”

Yan Yingzhou glanced at him deeply, and then said to Jiang Junshou: "It's a matter of lowly wives, Wangjiang Lord Haihan, let lowly take the first step." ”

Jiang Junshou waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, pick a few capable people to bring with you." ”

The mountain wind was cold, and he turned on his horse, his black robe hunting and rolling in the wind.

"Brother Chen, I'll hand it over to you in the east of the city."

After speaking, he raised his whip, the horse neighed, and galloped towards the county seat.

In the past few days, Ruan Si's food has been adulterated with medicine.

At first, she decided to run away and secretly dumped all the food, but her water was soon drugged.

If you don't eat, you'll be hungry, and if you don't drink water, you'll die.

Since the Whistling Tiger was not in a hurry to ask her to die, she did not have a reason to find her own death.

She simply let go of eating and drinking, eating and drinking every day, burying her head in sleep, and being raised by the thieves with good food and drink.

Anyway, except for the female thieves who came to bring her food every day, she had never seen Scarface or Masked Man again.

On this day, she lay on a broken bed, sleeping and waking up, and was quickly tied, and her head was also covered with a cloth bag.

The soles of her feet were light, and she seemed to be lifted onto a car board.

The driver was familiar with the road, and walked very fast, and in a short time she reached the foot of the mountain, and someone changed hands and carried her into the carriage.

A sigh came from his ears, "Mrs. Yan, don't come unharmed." ”

Ruan Si heard whose voice it was, and also sighed and said, "It was okay originally, but it was not good to see Second Master Zhong." ”

The carriage walked along the winding mountain road, the wheels creaking over the rubble.

Ruan Si felt the carriage jolt violently, as if it was about to tear her apart.

"Second Master Zhong, is he in a hurry to run for his life?"

Her tone was relaxed, as if she were chatting with a friend, and she yawned comfortably.

Second Master Zhong ripped off her hood and frowned, "Mrs. Yan is like a nobody. ”

Ruan Si looked around the environment in the car, quickly found a comfortable corner, spread the cushion behind him, and leaned back comfortably.

"Except for the hands and feet tied, everything else is fine, naturally it's fine."

The coachman urged, and the whip kept hitting the horse's buttocks, making a crisp crackling sound.

Ruan Si smiled: "Second Master Zhong, are we in a hurry to reincarnate?" ”

"If you catch up, you will die together." Second Master Zhong sneered, "Otherwise, it will be to send Mrs. Yan to reincarnate." ”

Ruan Si feigned surprise and asked, "Why is this so?" ”

A cruel smile appeared on Second Master Zhong's face.

"Then ask your husband why he gave up on you to save his grandmother's life."

He suddenly leaned over his wrinkled face, his eyes shining with cruel pleasure.

The old man reminded him that Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan, he could only save one. Since you're here, you should know who he's chosen. ”

"Mrs. Yan, Yan Yingzhou let you die."
