Chapter XXI: The Robbery
"General, news has come from Jian'an. A soldier walked in.
Yun Jin raised his head: "Say." โ
"Your Majesty has called us a truce, the thirteen princes of the barbarians are in Jian'an City, and the barbarians are willing to exchange the Purple Night Fortress for their thirteen princes. โ
"Okay, you go out. Yun Jin's tone was very flat: "By the way, is there anything else?"
"Your Majesty has come to the Holy Decree and said that since the war in the north has eased, you can return to Jian'an. โ
"You go and tell the envoy that I will go back to Chang'an that day, so you can go down." โ
"Yes. โ
Once again, there was only one person left in the tent that was erected.
"Truce?" Yun Jin's mouth hooked into a grim smile, and he punched the table, and the table shook violently.
"I won't make a truce, barbarians, sooner or later, the banner of Chu will be planted on the land of the barbarians, and I will personally avenge my father, but there is no truce so easy. โ
He has decided to return to Jian'an first, and now Yunjin doesn't know that Ye Xi has left Jian'an, he wants to return to Jian'an and then marry Yu Xuanji, and then lead the troops to the Purple Night Fortress again.
He likes war, and strengthens his strength in battles again and again, on the battlefield, only true brothers can give their backs to each other, and during this period of battle, Yunjin has been relieved to give his back to these soldiers.
He is not afraid of death, he is not afraid of fighting, this is the man of their Yun family.
Yunjin believes that even his grandfather will definitely agree with his decision.
Thinking of the fish mystery, the corners of Yun Jin's mouth hooked up a smile.
He whispered to himself, "Xuanji wait for me, I will definitely make you my wife." โ
Then he thought of Ye Xi: "I don't know how the fifth brother is doing now." โ

After so many days' trip, Ye Xi and his entourage have already passed through Jingzhou and come to the border of the three southwestern provinces.
As far as the eye can see, there are mountains.
The trees are lush.
The southwest belongs to the frontier, which is not as rich as Jian'an and the plains.
I don't know how many horses have changed, although I am not tired, but I have been on the road for so many days, and it is really hard.
Ye Xi thought, I don't know how Ying is now, whether the Purple Night Fortress has been recovered, and whether Yunjin has returned to Chang'an.
The three of them were in a river, the horses wanted to drink water, the weather was too hot to be good, the water flowed slowly, and there were mountains on both sides, but it seemed extremely quiet.
The water flow is clear and you can see the bottom, only to the joints of the feet.
Ye Xi wiped his face with this cool water, shook his hair, and felt refreshed.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound, as well as the sound of metal clashing.
There are not many horses, but there are still a few.
Anyone seems to be.
The three of them looked nervous, how could so many people suddenly come out of this deserted place.
Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come.
Mo Yu took the spear he was carrying in his hand and said to Yan Xiaoliu: "Wait a minute, if there is danger, you will take His Highness and go first." โ
Because Mo Yu had already felt a few breaths, he was not weaker than himself at all.
Ye Xi and the others hurriedly mounted their horses and prepared to leave, but the mountain road was rugged, and the horses had become useless, just a little faster than people walking on their feet.
The other party seemed to know that Ye Xi and the others were going to escape.
The speed of those people is getting faster and faster.
It's just that in the blink of an eye, a group of people surrounded Ye Xi and the others.
There were about forty people, some with swords, some with swords, some with giant axes, and many mottled weapons.
All wore black skits, revealing solid muscles.
These people are not ordinary.
Three men took the lead, for the others were standing, and only the three of them were riding on horses.
One of them had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, but he only covered his chest with cloth armor, and his skin was healthy and bronzed, and his beard was so bearded that it was impossible to see what this person's original appearance was.
With two axes on his back, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a fierce glare, he seems to be a bull-headed horse from hell.
If it was a child, he would definitely be scared to cry immediately when he saw his appearance.
There was also a man, about forty years old, dressed in a blue shirt and holding a folding fan in his hand.
It's just an occasional cold light in his eyes, which makes people never think that he is a private school gentleman.
There was also a man of tall stature, and even if he was riding on a horse at the moment, he could feel his astonishing elevation, a full two meters high, and he was also carrying a spear on his back.
The expression was cold, and the bulging muscles were full of power.
Mo Yu's expression changed, because he could feel that the strength of these three people was not much different from his own.
And it is surrounded by people, and it is impossible to break through, even if you fight to the death, there is absolutely no possibility of breaking through.
These people had fierce expressions on their faces, and Ye Xi felt that the eyes of those people looking at his group were like wolves seeing sheep.
It's also like men who have been abstinent for a long time suddenly see a woman, and they don't hide the greed in their eyes.
Mo Yu has experienced things in the rivers and lakes since he was a child, and he vaguely guessed the identities of these people, a group of bandits.
Yan Xiaoliu stood in front of Ye Xi, and his firm eyes were telling those people that if they wanted to touch Ye Xi, they had to step on his corpse first.
The bearded man said: "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, I want to pass by the next time, and leave it to buy road money." โ
"Second brother, third brother, am I right to say this. โ
The tallest man said, "Just say that we are robbing." โ
He turned his head and looked at Ye Xi and the others fiercely: "Three boys, we are from this Baiyan Mountain Dragon and Tiger Village, if we want to live, hand over all the money on your body, maybe as soon as the third master is happy, I don't want your life." โ
Ye Xi stood up with a smile: "Brothers, you must be short of money to spend, say it earlier, brother, I don't have anything, but I have money, you see that I still use knives, I am the most afraid of knives." I am a businessman, and I have always known that harmony makes money, money is something outside the body, what is the use of more money if I have no life, I can take out all the money on my body to you, as long as a few big brothers let us go. โ
"Hahaha. The bearded man laughed: "You are very sensible." โ
"That's nature, that's nature. Ye Xi smiled.
Ye Xi has never been out of the house, how can he know this all day in Jian'an City, of course, from the book, Ye Xi doesn't like to read those classical anthologies, but he likes to read wild history novels and strange chronicles of the rivers and lakes.
I know how to walk the rivers and lakes, but I didn't expect to meet the legendary bandits, and it seems that the things I learned in the book are still quite useful.
"Little Liu, take out all the money. โ
Yan Xiaoliu answered, and took out a thick stack of silver tickets from the package: "Brothers, at this time, 10,000 taels of silver tickets, issued by the largest Shengtong Chamber of Commerce, can be cashed at the counter of any Shengtong Commercial Bank." โ
When they saw so much money, all the bandits' eyes were on the thick stack of money, and they made no secret of the greed in their eyes.
The big man and the tallest two people were laughing, the two of them laughed, and the dozens of little brothers next to them were also laughing at the same time, Ye Xi could only laugh twice, and the laughter echoed in the valley.
Only the green-shirted scribe stared at Ye Xi, and then looked at Mo Yu, there was no joy or anger in that kind of eyes, but Ye Xi and Mo Yu both had a feeling of being targeted by poisonous snakes.
Ye Xi said: "This money is already all on me and the rest of the group, I don't know if we can leave now." โ
The cheeky man glanced at the green-shirted scribe, he put away the silver ticket, it seems that this green-shirted scribe is in charge here.
The green-shirted scribe smiled: "10,000 taels of silver tickets is too much, we are afraid that you will report to the official, and then my dozens of brothers will be in danger of their lives." โ
Ye Xi hurriedly said: "We will never report to the official, I gave this money to you voluntarily." โ
"How can I trust you. The green-shirted scribe smiled: "I think a few identities must be extraordinary, it's better to go to my Longhu Mountain to live for a few days, just make a friend at that time, I will never embarrass my friend." When the time comes, I will send you away in person. โ
Ye Xi pretended to be pensive and said: "I also want to stay and make friends with a few masters, as the so-called relying on my parents at home and my friends outside, I am even more honored to have a few friends like this, but unfortunately we do have important matters, it is better to do this, when a few of us come back, we will definitely visit a few masters in person." โ
The green-shirted scribe narrowed his eyes: "But I just want you to stay." โ
The two masters next to the green shirt walked forward, and dozens of people took a step closer to the circle surrounding Ye Xi and the others.
Mo Yu held the spear in his hand tightly, he knew that the most difficult person to deal with here was the green-shirted scribe.
Ye Xi said: "Then we will forgive our fate." โ
The bearded man scolded: "You are really toasting and not eating and drinking." โ
He held the two axes in his hands, and his muscles kept shaking with his body, and his face was really fierce.
The green-shirted scribe said with a smile: "Those who come out of the rivers and lakes naturally have a name." โ
"Then what is your name?" Ye Xi said.
"This is our dragon and tiger's master, known as the Black Whirlwind, because his two axes are like whirlwinds when they are wielded. โ
The green-shirted scribe pointed to the big man with his cheeks and said.
"This one is our three masters in Longhu Mountain, known as the white-faced tiger. "That's the tallest man among them.
The white-faced tiger smiled proudly, that look is Lao Tzu called the second in the world, who dares to call the first in the world. โ
"I don't know your name. โ
"Cold snake. The green-shirted scribe was laughing.
But that smile was really like that poisonous snake, it was a good name at that time, Ye Xi said secretly in his heart.
