On this day, Yan Lin went to Nanxiangzhai as usual, while taking care of his own business, as well as taking care of Yan Rui's side, he was busy running on both sides every morning.

After finishing his work here, he saw that the people he sent to monitor Jiang Yucheng came back, usually once every five days, in order to report Jiang Yucheng's tragic situation to him, and then he could better control Jiang Yucheng and better push him into the abyss step by step.

It's just that this time, why did you come back so quickly, isn't it only two days since the last time? Is there something big happening, Yan Lin was a little puzzled, called someone into the room, and motioned for him to tell the key thing.

"Young master, the little one has been following Jiang Yucheng for the past two days, just the day before yesterday, he actually went out in a new suit, and the little one followed all the way, and he followed him all the way, and he followed him for a day, and saw him enter the black sand village with his own eyes, the little one didn't dare to get too close, I didn't know what he did when he went in, and he was afraid of being discovered, so he rushed back immediately." After speaking, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand.

"That's all, nothing else?"

"No, that's all."

"All right, you go down and rest, and then you will go to the steward to receive the money this time."

The man nodded in answer and respectfully withdrew.

Yan Lin put his hand on the rosewood table and banged, making a clear "dong dong" sound.

Jiang Yucheng went to Heisha Village, but just a few days after Yan Rui went out, he went to find the bandits in Heisha Village, and the intention was self-evident.

When the eldest brother left, he only brought a few people, if he let the people from Heisha Village catch up, and when the time comes, the eldest brother will suffer, and he will have to bring people to stop it.

Yan Lin hurried back to the mansion and ordered the subordinates around him to gather manpower.

Then he turned around and went to the backyard, saw Yue'er feeding the fish in the pool, and walked over with a warm smile on his face.

Jiang Yue heard the sound of footsteps, turned around and saw that it was him, and said with some surprise: "Why did you come back so early today?" She remembered waiting until lunchtime to get back.

"I have something to talk to you about." Yan Lin approached and took the plate she had fed the fish on, placed it on a stone stake, and took her hand to the nearby pavilion.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Jiang Yue asked suspiciously.

Yan Lin turned her body, looked into her eyes and said, "I'm going to go far away, and it may take more than a month to come back." ”

Jiang Yue was stunned, the smile on his face did not decrease, waiting for his next words, there was always a reason to go far away.

Yan Lin continued: "Jiang Yucheng found someone from Heisha Village, I concluded that he was going to kill my eldest brother, and I wanted to bring someone to stop him, so I can't accompany you at home these days." ”

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "If you don't go, you'll regret it for the rest of your life." Then he said with concern: "But you must be careful, bandits are not easy to deal with, bring more people, if there is a fight, you must protect yourself and hide behind as much as possible." ”

Yan Lin smiled and took her into his arms and said: "It's not going to the battlefield, you don't have to worry about it like this, as long as the bandits see that there are many of us, they won't do it easily, we are going to get married on the ninth day of the fifth month, I will definitely let myself come back in advance." ”

Jiang Yue leaned into his arms and whispered "um", but it was just more than a month, he was waiting at home, believing that a month would pass soon, and when he returned, they would be able to get married.

Jiang Yucheng took the people from Heishazhai all the way to Qiantang without stopping, and when they arrived at Qiantang, they knew that Yan Rui had left, and spent a lot of time exploring the direction they were going, and learned that Yan Rui and his party were going to Hezhou from the little two people in the Xiangshe Inn.

Jiang Yucheng and the owner of Heisha Village discussed, and took the path to Xingfeng Ridge in advance to prepare, Xingfeng Ridge is the only place they must pass through on their way to Hezhou, and as long as it is properly arranged, it will definitely hit with one blow.

Later, Yan Lin set off two days late, and when he passed through Qiantang, he didn't stop, as long as he kept going to Hezhou and caught up with the eldest brother and his party before Jiang Yucheng, he could help the eldest brother.

Originally, according to their non-stop speed, they should be able to catch up with the eldest brother in ten days, but they were blocked by a landslide on the road not far from Qiantang, and the rain caused the mountain to collapse a few days ago, and now the whole road is blocked.

They had to take another long way, and Yan Lin didn't spend much time asking about the road, so he didn't know that there was a small road from here that could quickly reach the vicinity of Hezhou.

"Brother Yan, there is Xingfeng Ridge in front, and after this Xingfeng Ridge, you will approach Hezhou." Ju Kan stood on a stone and pointed to a small mountain path that seemed not far away.

They are now resting in the shade of a tree, Yan Rui half-squatted beside him, heard the words of the sentence, looked up slightly, and saw a cyan mountain range of different heights, now everything is recovering, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and all kinds of flowers and plants on the mountain grow like crazy.

Now the ground where they are resting is also a green new grass, just past the horse's hooves, Li Tianyan sat under the tree, quietly looking at the people around him and the fine grass blown by the wind.

She knew that she was already close to Hezhou, and she could feel that the closer she got to Hezhou, Yan Rui's heart was getting more and more, and she knew what he was worried about.

grabbed his hand tightly, and smiled at him: "I heard that the eldest brother said that there is ice and snow on Xuezhang Mountain, and it is extremely cold, if you want to go up the mountain, you must prepare the things you need." ”

Yan Rui looked back at her fair and thin face and said, "I've asked my eldest brother about these, if you need anything, I'll buy it in Hezhou when the time comes." ”

Jiang Yucheng, who was in Xingfeng Ridge, had been waiting impatiently, the group had been feeding mosquitoes in the mountains and forests for three days, and the people in Heisha Village were fine, Jiang Yucheng already had a red rash on his body.

This morning, I found out that Yan Rui and they were almost there, and they had been waiting here, and now they heard from their subordinates to report that they were resting at the intersection of Xingfeng Ridge.

At that intersection, it was open on all sides, and it was not easy to fight, and if they ran away, it would be difficult for them to chase, so they could only wait here.

waited until noon for Yan Rui and his party to appear in their sight.

Ju Kan, who was riding a horse in front, suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse, glanced at the dense forest on both sides, and said to the people behind him: "I feel that someone is ambushed in this forest, Brother Yan, let's be careful, I don't know that the people inside are waiting for ......."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a noise in the forest, and more than a dozen big men wearing black coarse cloth clothes and holding long knives rushed out of the forest, and rushed towards Yan Rui and them fiercely.

"Fuck it...... It's really against us, you guys quickly get out, and I'll stop them. ”

Ju Kan burst into a foul language, hooked at the person next to him, and then reached out and punched the man's cheek, the man's cheek was deformed by the punch, and in a moment, Ju Kan had already snatched the knife from the man's hand, and rushed towards the group of people on horseback.

Yan Rui let Ma Bo drive out of the forest, took the long sword he carried, and fought with the people close to the carriage, although he didn't use martial arts, but the basic dodge and chopping were still no problem.

"Yan Rui, be careful behind you." Li Tianyan opened the curtain and reminded worriedly.

Yan Rui didn't turn back, according to the feeling, the sword in his hand slashed diagonally behind him, and with a "dang" sound, the sword body hit the long knife of the person behind him.

On the other side, Ju Kan abandoned the horse, flew to his side and slashed the people around Yan Rui.

There was a sound of swords in the forest, and Jiang Yucheng and the owners of Heisha Village were hiding in the forest.
