"Do you hear that? Someone looks like they're coming outside! Hangu suddenly stopped and reined in his horse.

The village was silent, save for the crows "quacking" like demons whispering.

Yun Feng listened attentively, the wind blew through the fallen leaves, the crows pecked at the corpse, and the old dog in the village "whimpered" to guard the owner's corpse.

"Woohoo~"

Yun Feng turned around, it was the little dog guarding the owner at the entrance of the village just now, and it barked miserably.

In the painful wail of "whoa", there was gradually no movement.

"Herod!" With the roar of a war horse, the village suddenly became commotion, and the sound of horse bandits outside the village could already be heard.

Without Yun Feng's reminder, Han Gu and Han Xiao around him took off a horse muzzle from their horses almost at the same time and hung them directly on their horses' mouths.

"Shh Yun Feng put his index finger to his mouth and motioned for them to be quiet.

"Fat baby, let's keep walking, you go over first in a while, if anyone is alive, tell them to pack up their things and go with us, don't alarm those horse bandits." Yun Feng lowered his voice and said close to the fat baby's side.

The fat baby looked back at Yun Feng, and then nodded solemnly.

This kid, who was once called Fat Baby, had long been thin like a little monkey, and took Yun Feng and the three of them through the village.

Han Xiao just hugged his sister's head, and the boy didn't cry, or even have any other expression.

The houses in the village gradually became old, and the village of one hundred and eighty people consisted of a dozen or so families, and the small village spread almost quickly.

"Listen to the sound in the backyard of the old ancestral hall!" The fat baby's voice was very small, but everyone heard it clearly.

In times of crisis, the sense of hearing is more sensitive than others.

"Let's go!"

Several people hurried through the village.

In front of me is an abandoned ancestral hall, and the ruins are the best description.

All that remains of the ancestral hall is a wall and the bluestone pile where the offering table once was placed.

"People should be in there." The fat baby pointed to the pile of bluestones.

Han Xiao turned around: "Uncle." ”

This bluestone pile looks unremarkable, it used to be piled up, and the ancestral tablets were placed on it, if there are people, then the only possibility is.

"The old ancestral hall may have had a secret grid before, everyone look for it, take people away, the horse bandits have returned." Yun Feng commanded Han Gu and Han Xiao.

The fat baby glanced back.

Yun Feng waved his hand: "Go ahead, remember to let them not make a sound." ”

The fat baby was short, and the whole person got in.

The cold roar and cold valley around him searched the entire dilapidated ancestral hall.

There was nothing left around, except for a wall and the wall of the offering table, only broken stones on the ground.

"Uncle, there's a jade pendant here!" Hangu picked up a piece of jade pendant from the ground and handed it to Yun Feng.

The jade pendant is about the size of a thumb nail, and the jade quality is good, warm and delicate, and it is like a nest of clotted fat in the hand.

"It's a good thing, and the identity of the owner of this thing must be extraordinary." Yun Feng gently rubbed the jade pendant.

The jade quality seems to be Hetian mutton fat jade, but the Western Regions are foreign countries in these years, and all good jade is tribute.

There are very few people who live among the people.

"Brother Hanxiao, people are out!" The fat baby came out from behind, and her body was dusty.

Behind him were two women, wearing silk narrow-sleeved short clothes and long silk skirts, looking like they had come out to go out.

The woman came out nervously and looked at Yun Feng and the three of them.

Yun Feng was dressed in a strong suit, looking gentle and elegant, and seemed to be a son-in-law.

They have seen a lot of such handsome sons, but the two brothers Han Xiao and Han Gu have made them trust them even more.

The standing posture is like a person in the military.

"Were you sent to save me?" The woman in the maid's clothes asked first.

Yun Feng glanced at the past, and the identities of the two of them were almost certain.

The one who wears the maid's clothes is the young lady, but the one who wears the young lady's clothes, really responds to the old saying, wearing a dragon robe is not like the prince, and the whole person has the temperament of the young lady.

On the other hand, the maid is gentle and elegant, and her smile and smile seem to have been carefully studied.

Just glancing at them, Yun Feng beckoned: "There's no time to talk nonsense, the horse bandits are coming soon, let's go first!" ”

Yun Feng was not in the mood to talk nonsense with them, and led the way in front.

The two brothers, Han Xiao and Han Gu, were only responsible for protecting Yun Feng, so they naturally followed at this time.

The fat baby glanced at the two girls and whispered: "The patriarch said that whether our village can get rich depends on the two of you, although the patriarch is dead, I will still protect the two of you." ”

He took out the short sword from his waist, the short sword was only a little more than a foot long, but it was extremely sharp.

The two women nodded in horror, but they were obviously more willing to follow Yun Feng and them.

Quickened the pace and kept up.

Yun Feng and the others came out of the village and continued to walk up the mountain.

There was only one way down the mountain, which was occupied by horse bandits at this time.

Yun Feng and the others arrived on the mountain, and when they looked down, they could see the figures of those horse bandits.

A dozen or so horse bandits below were packing up their things at the head of the village, loading boxes and boxes of goods onto the wagons.

The carriage looked luxuriously decorated, not much worse than Han Yuyao's, but at this time it became a cart loaded with goods.

In the crowd, there was an ugly-looking man who instructed the others to pack up their things.

Yun Feng looked at it for a moment, and finally could only sigh: "No way, there are too many people, and the combat effectiveness should be good, we can't beat it." ”

Han Xiao is more proficient in reconnaissance: "These people are all the elite of Dangfu Mountain, and they have been encircled and suppressed many times when they were in the Guangwu Army, but they have not succeeded. ”

Yun Feng nodded: "Since the Guangwu Army hasn't cleaned them up, then let's not work in vain." ”

Beckoning to the two girls: "You two be careful, don't make a sound, come here." ”

The two girls didn't seem to feel any danger from Yun Feng, so they approached.

"Thank you for your help, I don't know which barracks you are from?" The young lady in the maid's clothes asked in a whisper.

Yun Feng retreated a few steps back, hiding in the woods, and then said: "We are from the Xiangzhou Han family, and we are going to Xiangzhou Rongchang this time, I don't know if the girl wants to go along." ”

The origin and purpose tell them, and the implication is to let them report their own home, and then decide whether to follow or not.

The young lady thought for a while, and finally said: "The little girl is from the Wang family of Tongming Yuan in Dazhou, her surname is Wang Zijin, and she came to this village to worship her mother for her ancestors, but who knew that she actually met mountain bandits in Xiangzhou. ”

The royal family of Tongmingyuan, this is simply thunderous, and today's waiter Wang Songshi of the Ministry of Rites is from the royal family of Tongmingyuan, not to mention the silk cloth of the Wang family, which is a tribute almost every year, and is favored by the royal family.

Yun Feng bowed his hand: "Miss Wang, don't panic, the horse bandits are ready to retreat at this time, you can choose to go to Xiangzhou, or go to Dashi Town in front to find the carriage, and then go back to Dazhou." ”

When it came to going back, Miss Wang couldn't help but grieve: "When I came, there were guards from the family, if my two women returned to Xiangzhou alone, I am afraid that it would be more auspicious and less auspicious, and Dashi Town in front of it is just an ordinary town, and it is not easy to hire a carriage." ”

She thought for a moment: "Why don't we go to Xiangzhou Rongchang with you, I heard that Xiangzhou Rongchang is guarded by the Yongxing Army and the Guangwu Army, and the horse bandits will definitely not dare to spread wild in front of the Guangwu Army and the Yongxing Army." ”
