In the middle of the day, the field at the entrance of Yacai Market in Gushan County was crowded, and the gongs and drums were noisy.

Outside the field, there were layers of people watching the excitement and watching the officials beheading.

On the execution table in the middle, a man with a cloak and a disheveled hair had already been tied up and pushed to the center by the executioner, and he immediately cut off the head of the person after waiting for the order of the prison officer in the audience.

Dong Lao's father and son and Li Qiusheng were also mixed in the crowd, because they changed their appearance, and it was difficult for others to show up for a while. And the golden knife man was already standing on his side in the right corner of the torture platform, and he already held a long dart in his hand. As soon as the beheading knife fell, he shot the dart in his hand fiercely, taking advantage of the chaos to save the people on the stage.

Time passes little by little, and waiting and suffering are like shadows with wings, following the shadows, boiling people's bodies and minds.

With an order, the executioner slowly raised the machete in his hand.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were on it.

With a "snap", a dart struck the executioner's hand with unmistakable accuracy.

With a loud shout, there was a "long bell", and even the knife suddenly dripped to the ground. The executioner covered the hand of the dart, and the blood flowed so hard that he screamed in pain.

The field suddenly became chaotic, and the crowd of onlookers scattered like a surging tide, which was difficult to stop. Even the officers and soldiers guarding the order on the field were also swept away by the crowd, staggering from side to side, and it was difficult to look at each other.

Seeing the opportunity, the golden knife man jumped up, picked up the man on the stage and turned to leave. An officer and soldier with a single knife suddenly jumped out of the side, blocking the way of the golden swordsman and slashing with a knife. The golden knife man rose and fell, dodged a knife with a slight lean, and then hooked his foot, and the blade fell on the man's body as expected. As soon as the man struggled hard, the rope on his body was thrown off.

Having been freed, the man turned back and cast a grateful glance at the golden swordman. The golden swordman stopped in front of the man and said, "Good man, it's important to escape, don't do anything now, we'll have a date later." With that, he flew out again and kicked over another officer and soldier who rushed to take advantage of it. At this time, the man also turned his back and said to the golden swordsman, "Okay, the hero's life-saving grace, Di Hu will never forget it." If he can meet one day, he will be rewarded by a spring. ”

At this time, although the field was still chaotic, and the sound of crying and shouting was chaotic and the stage was against the sky, there were still more and more officers and soldiers gathered on the stage, and it seemed that the golden swordsman and Di Hu were about to fall into a heavy siege.

I only heard a powerful and high-pitched shout on the field, and it flew away, "Catch Li Qiusheng, catch Li Qiusheng, the imperial court prisoner Li Qiusheng is here!" Come on, catch Li Qiusheng, don't let this kid escape while the chaos is in chaos. ”

The crowd of people who are in turmoil at the moment is surging like the waves rolling in the storm of the waterfall. The crowd and the officers and soldiers who are vying for quick success are sticky like a pot of porridge boiling in a lake, and it is impossible to distinguish between water and rice.

Jin Daoke and Di Hu saw that the people on the stage had lost control of their emotions, and they surged towards the shouting Dong Lao father and son. The two immediately exchanged glances, as if they would understand, chose a place to get out, and flew into the tide-like crowd to hide.

On the field, Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng were also mixed in the crowd of people, and they were very anxious when they saw that the golden knife man and the man on the torture platform were about to fall into the hands of the officers and soldiers again.

At this dangerous moment, Li Qiusheng had an idea, and he said in the ear of Old Man Dong. Old Man Dong understood, and immediately squeezed into the crowd, pointing at a young man who was fleeing in a hurry and screaming at the top of his throat. The crowd didn't know what the plan was, but when they heard it, they believed it, and rushed to the young man who fled in front, scuffling and tearing into a ball.

As soon as the field was in chaos, Li Qiusheng and Old Man Dong took advantage of the situation to sneak out of the city. Because of the change of appearance, and between the greed and profit of everyone, including those officers and soldiers who guarded the city and checked the exchanges, the two of them actually seemed to enter and leave freely in and out of no one's land. What's even more laughable is that at this dangerous juncture, the two of them staged a double reed play under the pretense of other people's shadows.

A snobbish farce inexplicably kicked off at the entrance of the vegetable market because of the name of "Li Qiusheng". The crowd, who didn't know whether it was true or not, still rushed in like a crazy lion, all trying to get a share of this beautiful soup.

Outside the city, after the three of them took advantage of the chaos to rescue Di Hu, they tossed and found a restaurant before snorting a few cups. Li Qiusheng revealed his deflated nature at this time, more like a hungry ghost who didn't know the taste of meat in March, chewing and gnawing on the wine and meat, and the two of them who didn't care about the Golden Knife Ke and Old Man Dong on the side.

Jin Dong and the others glanced at Li Qiusheng, who was in full shape at this time, sneered contemptuously, raised the wine glass in his hand and touched it, and drank their delicacies and wine.

The three of them walked for another two days and came to the footsteps of a great mountain.

I saw ancient trees towering to the sky, vines and grass entangled. Dense forests are all over the place, and the clouds are like clouds. A long trail follows the stream of the col upstream, leading deep into the mountains.

Li Qiusheng raised his hand and wiped the Han water oozing from his forehead, and the filth of the past few days was piled up like a pile of suspicions. Although the weather is still a little cold, the wind of the scorching sun is still chilly. But he didn't care so much anymore, so he got up and ran to the mountain stream by the roadside. As soon as he raised his hand, the stream water hit cool and fiercely, and the refreshing feeling pierced the bottom of his heart.

A semi-circular fish-shaped jadeite jade match suddenly slid down from Li Qiusheng's neck, shining dark green in the sun. Li Qiusheng took off the fish-shaped jade and washed it, and was about to wear it back. At this time, the golden swordman called out on the path, "Boy, wait a minute, what are you, I want him to take a closer look." After that, before Li Qiusheng could respond, he had already jumped down from the creek first.

Li Qiusheng held the jade in his hand and stayed in the middle in surprise, looking dazed. The golden knife man didn't explain much, and as soon as he snatched the jade match, he observed it carefully. Suddenly, he stared at Li Qiusheng with wide eyes for a while, and stopped talking, but finally did not spit out half of the doubtful words. And his dignified face also turned from cloudy to sunny, and he looked at the fish-shaped jade match in his hand quietly, and finally calmed down the excited action just now as if he was fine.

Old Man Dong saw it really on the trail, and saw that the golden knife man snatched the fish-shaped jade match that the old bustard's mother gave to Li Qiusheng when she was parting. immediately reprimanded loudly, "Brother Jin, what are you doing here?" That's the go-to thing in this kid's womb, you must not mess around. As he spoke, he was about to snatch the stream, but when he saw that the golden swordman had already stopped, he had to give up.

The golden knife man suddenly said to Li Qiusheng, "Boy, uncle, I want to borrow a treasure from you, and I will suspend it for the time being." I'll give it back to you when it's over, can you borrow it? ”

Li Qiusheng was relieved and stunned for a while. He thought that this was the best thing he had ever said since he was a child: someone was going to borrow a treasure from him. And it seems that he, Li Qiusheng, a ruffian on the street corner, really has a treasure, isn't this the biggest joke in the world? But at a glance, he caught a glimpse of the Golden Knifeman's serious and categorical look, and said to him so sincerely and eagerly that he believed it again.

"What baby? As long as I have it, it doesn't matter if it's eight out of ten, let alone one. Li Qiusheng happily agreed to the request made by the golden knife and said.

"Ha, ha," the golden knife man laughed twice, looked at Li Qiusheng's eyes that had become sharp and sold Guan Zi and said, "It's this treasure in my hand, are you willing to borrow it?" ”

"Borrow" Li Qiusheng replied without looking at the fish-shaped jade in the hand of the golden swordman, and it was redundant for the old man Dong on the side to say anything more. However, he still showed a bit of dissatisfaction and muttered, "Boy, have you thought about it?" As soon as the baby leaves his hand, it is no longer a matter of personnel, and it is difficult to get it back. ”

The golden knife man turned around and said to Old Man Dong, "Brother Dong, don't worry. A gentleman does not win the love of others, although I am not a gentleman, but I also understand this principle. ”

"If you can do what Brother Jin said, it will be very good. I'm just afraid... Old Man Dong still said without doubt, and the knot in his heart could not be let go.

"Alright, old man, don't be suspicious. I've said yes, can you still regret it? Li Qiusheng took advantage of the gap in their conversation to insert this sentence, which was undoubted.

"Well, boy, you're so cheerful. It's good, as soon as the matter is over, it will be returned. The Golden Knife Man approvingly.

"Where..."

Old Man Dong swallowed his words back, and finally reluctantly let go of this stubborn doubt.

The three of them walked along the mountain stream path as before, only to see a thatched hut by the mountain and water in sight.

This time, I finally lost those winding mountain paths and dense grassy jungles, and saw the smoke and fireworks in the world.

Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng were just when they were happy in their hearts, and suddenly five or six big men with knives and guns suddenly popped out on both sides of the trail, and stood in front of the two of them, eyeing them fiercely.

The two of them were in a hurry, glanced at each other, slowly stayed aside, and secretly shouted. Mom, as soon as Cao Cao is said, Cao Cao will arrive. Cold water to make tea, that pot does not open that pot. It's really unlucky, and this day is getting more and more miserable.

At this moment, the golden knife man who was walking behind stood forward, and these five or six big men with knives and guns flashed to the side. The leader's beard suddenly whistled a kiss to his mouth, and a large number of men and women of all ages poured out.

cheered and went straight to the front of the golden knife guest before stopping, and saluted in unison: "Welcome the owner of the village to return safely!" Welcome the safe return of the owner of the village! Welcome the safe return of the owner of the village! ”

The golden swordman smiled like an arc across the full moon on his lips and waved his hand to the men and women. Then he turned his back and faced the two of them, letting out a few hearty laughs.

Li Qiusheng and Old Man Dong were suddenly stunned, and looked up at the golden swordman. His fingers trembled and pointed at the golden swordman, looking dazed.
