Chapter 45

Solving the urgent need, He Le slept well this night, and left the inn and headed for Guangling Prefecture at dawn the next morning.

He began to worry a little about Mu Ziqing, after all, after so long, he was afraid that she would do stupid things and think about it. Therefore, when he left the city, he hurried and hurried towards Guangling Prefecture. By the time he arrived, he had traveled dozens of miles, and the horses he was riding were sweating profusely, and their muscles were twitching.

But just as he was about to find a place to rest, suddenly a sharp arrow was shot from the stinger, and it was not at him, but at the horse. The aching horse leaped high and ran a few more steps forward before falling tremblingly. He Le had jumped off the horse before it fell, and jumped onto the horse behind him.

Dare to rob on the official road, in addition to the official bandits, there are only real Jiangyang thieves, and both of them are difficult to deal with. So He Le first chose to find a way out, and then to see who was sneaking in.

Unfortunately, as soon as he jumped on the back of the horse, he fired two more arrows at the two sides, and although the others dodged, the horse suffered.

He Le pulled up onions from a dry land and rose to the sky, because there was no Qi current to support him, and he fell quickly. At this time, the rain of arrows that had been waiting for a long time came, but He Le had already prepared, and he got up and rolled forward in mid-air. Because he was wrapped around the snake Jiao, ordinary sharp arrows could not hurt him at all, and even the military's armor-piercing arrows could only leave marks on the snake Jiao's skin.

After rolling forward for three weeks, He Le rushed to the ambush point on the side.

Because he reacted quickly enough and was full of arrows behind him, he saw a strange man when he rushed to the ambush point. Look at the costume as a civilian, but the quiver hanging behind him and the bow in his hand are all military standards. At present, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, those who can have this configuration are either soldiers or Jiangyang thieves. The reason why the Jiangyang thieves were able to have military-standard weapons was because of the rebellion of the Qinglian cult, and at the beginning, there were sect members in several states who took the opportunity to make trouble, and if it were not for the timely joint attack between the southern gate lords, the south of the Lanjiang River should also be occupied by the Qinglian cult.

It's just that there was chaos, several of the military's equipment depots were looted, and a large number of standard weapons are still scattered among the people.

He Le also probably heard Shang Gongzi talk about it and knew a little bit of the inside story, so two possibilities flashed through his mind the moment he saw it. If you want to say that there is a problem with the shopkeeper Yin, it is not impossible, but it is unlikely. He entered the Cao family's shop and was entertained, and these things can always be found out.

In addition, only those few officials and Qingpi were suspicious, and it was easy for them to follow him back to the inn, because there were more silver taels exchanged, and it was normal to cause redness. But there was a lot of trading in that bazaar every day, and he really didn't have a lot of money, so it had to be tempting enough for the other party to ambush him.

The degree of strangeness of this matter was not something that He Le could figure out in a short time, he just flashed in his mind very quickly, and then the whole person crashed into the other party's arms. This collision was not an ambiguous collision between lovers, but directly broke the man's ribs, and He Le took out two arrows from his quiver and threw them behind him.

"Ahh

"Mess up,!" the shout came from the other side, not loud, but far enough.

He Le was also angry, it turned out that he was not looking for himself, but he was just caught up by himself who got up early and took two horses in vain. Now he will not be easy to calculate, and took out three arrows from the quiver and chased after him.

At this moment, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a man dressed similar to He Le was riding over, stopping far away to watch He Le chase down those who had fled.

In fact, He Le didn't have to kill everything, his biggest purpose was to grab the horse. It's just that these people either don't ride horses, and those who do run the fastest. So He Le chased all the way and killed people on their backs. In the end, he really got two horses together and let the men escape.

The man who came from behind hesitated for a moment and then stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Childe!"

He Le glanced at him, there was really a bit of similarity, he really got up early......

"Forget it, people with long lives have all kinds of ways to live. He Le still heard Elder Wang say this, and it was very appropriate at this time.

The man was choked by He Le's words, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Not only Song Wenliang, a person from Bian Zhou. Those are the strongmen of Xihuagang, and they are still here to find the revenge of the talent, if they didn't just meet the son, they should have been buried here. Please don't bow down!" Song Wenliang dismounted and saluted.

It was the first time He Le had received a big gift from others, so he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed and waved his hand. Anyway, it's not too much of a loss, the horses left by those strongmen are better than the official horses, and they are also robbed of the military horses that have not yet been branded.

"What is West Granite?"

"Originally, it was just a place for miscellaneous people to practice martial arts, but more than ten years ago, some people came and turned it into a cottage. It was also not under the control of the imperial court, and when Qinglian rebelled against the thieves, he also broke through a barracks and robbed a lot of ordnance and horses. Fortunately, several people joined forces to defeat them and hide in the mountains and forests. It was only last year that the thieves' den was found, and there should not be many people left after the clearance. ”

"Then do they have any foreign masters?" He Le asked casually, he only needed to know if there were any masters. Now he basically doesn't have to worry about the sixth-grade foreign family merit below, and the seventh-grade can barely draw. And the seventh-rank foreign family martial arts masters are already rare, and the eighth-rank and above will basically choose to start a sect or belong to the powerful. Just as Du Kui is already a master of the nine products, he will also choose to belong to the Cao family, which is in response to the sentence of learning literature and martial arts to sell to the emperor's family.

"In the past, the big masters were masters of the seven grades of foreign martial arts, but they have been beheaded by the Cao family and the Du family, and now they are all masters of the four or five grades. Song Wenliang replied truthfully.

"That's it......" Seeing that there would be no too strong opponents, He Le didn't care too much.

"I don't know where Childe is going? If you stop by, don't you want to invite Childe to get together and talk about thanks. Song Wenliang saw that He Le was about to leave, so he hurriedly asked.

He Le was vigilant and didn't want to be too close to him, but it was really covered up in his words just now.

"No need, there are still urgent matters, and it is not too late to meet in the future. He Le stepped on his horse and galloped away.

Song Wenliang got on the horse with a wry smile and continued to run towards Qingzhu County, but he didn't know why Mr. Li Yuan asked him to rush there immediately. It's just that I didn't expect to leak my whereabouts and attract the strongman of this West Granite. remembered that when he announced his identity as a spy last year, the strongmen in Xihuagang ate people one by one, and he still has heart palpitations. He wasn't a bold man, but many times current events forced him to do something difficult. Someone has to go, I think I really responded to what the little brother said, and the people who have a long life have their own way of living!

He Le rode this newly snatched military horse, so comfortable. It is obviously easier to ride than an official horse, and it is much stronger in terms of speed and foot strength. Thinking that this should be a good horse left by the strongman leader on the West Granite, otherwise he would not have such foot strength. Looking back now, it's really not a loss, and I broke two official horses that would have problems sooner or later, in exchange for a good horse without a mark.

After galloping all the way for more than ten miles, He Le slowed down, and then pulled out five gold bars from his horse's sack. There must be twenty gold, and a hundred gold. These strongmen are really rich! He Le was speechless, if he hadn't felt that he had a thigh, he wouldn't have found out. It seems that Song Wenliang is telling the truth, and He Le believes his words now. At first, he was worried that it would be a bitter ploy, after all, everything was too coincidental.

But such a bitter trick of sending horses and gold is still rare.

With silver, He Le deliberately went around to a county town halfway and bought himself a set of clothes. I don't want to be extravagant, as long as it fits better than the clothes I snatched. Then he purchased some dry food, fresh meat and fodder, and then continued on his way.

I did this for a few days, and on this day I encountered a road ban on the official road. It was the first time He Le knew that there would be a road ban, and he saw that there were people from the government who had erected a horse barrier a mile ahead, and many people had blocked the road ban here.

He Le has no way to guide him, and he still has a case in his body, so he doesn't want to be sent to the door to be investigated. Anyway, he couldn't tell the source, and there was no Cao family shop here for him to recognize his relatives.

But he walked a few miles to the left and right and found that there were people stationed, or it was a desperate road that could not be bypassed.

Just as he hesitated, he heard a commotion in front of him, followed by someone yelling and jumping up. Then the government was in chaos, and many soldiers rushed over, and the crossbowmen also fired crossbow arrows in time. Soon after, a man was beheaded, and his head was on the side of the road.

He Le noticed that this man should be a four-rank foreigner, but there are many officers and soldiers, and one of them should have more than seventh-grade foreign-family merit. After feeling that it was not appropriate to force it at this time, He Le decided to find a place to rest for the night first, and then see the situation tomorrow.

"This son, we have a fate this time!" never thought that Song Wenliang would just come over, and he would greet him when he saw it from afar.

He Le couldn't pretend not to know, so he had to return the courtesy.

"Let's go, I'll take you there. I know them all. Song Wenliang didn't say much, in fact, he had already seen He Le, and when he saw him wandering in front of the road ban, he guessed that he might not be able to withstand the investigation. It stands to reason that he should have investigated He Le, but He Le also saved him unintentionally, and according to his perception, He Le is not like a wicked person.

"This ......" He Le originally wanted to make up a cliché to say, but he couldn't say it when it came to his mouth.

"It's okay, I can't trust Childe. Song Wenliang smiled and nodded.

"Brother Song, why are you here!" The soldier who had the strength of more than seven grades of foreign family skills saw Song Wenliang from a distance and was greeting.

"Yuan Ying, why are you here? Song Wenliang urged him to step forward, and He Le had to follow him.

The soldier named Yuan Ying casually led Song Wenliang's horse and led the horse barn, and He Le had to get off the horse and keep up.

"Who is this?" Yuan Ying also saw He Le, in fact, He Le's previous abnormal behavior had already attracted their attention, but he didn't move and didn't alarm him.

"Oh, someone I know, come with me to visit Mr. Liyuan in Qingzhu County this time. Song Wenliang smiled and said very casually.
