Chapter 1 Death before leaving the school
"Young master, we have been squatting here for three days, either beggars or old farmers, is there really any goods here?
"Master, I watch the sky at night, there must be a big opportunity here, wait, continue to wait, do big things, and be calm."
Under the scorching sun, seven or eight people lay on the grassy slope, staring at the intersection in front of them, and several people were too hot to die.
The young man at the head, named Zhang Yuanshan, is seventeen years old this year. When the bandit leader Zhang Dahai returned from going out, he passed through Zhongyuan Mountain and picked up the three-year-old him, who had a fever because of the rain and almost burned out, but fortunately met Zhang Dahai. When he was cured, he forgot everything, he didn't know who he was or what his name was, and Zhang Dahai had no heirs, so he adopted him and named him Zhang Yuanshan.
Zhang Yuanshan grew up in a cottage since he was a child, and he was not good at learning kung fu and reading books, either going down to the river to fish or going up the mountain to catch rabbits. Under the protection of the cottage, it was not until half a year ago that his adoptive mother died of illness, Zhang Yuanshan was hit hard and has been languishing, and he has only recently come out.
Zhang Yuanshan also made up his mind that he would no longer eat and wait for death, and decided to go down the mountain and explore the rivers and lakes. Zhang Dahai, who has always doted on him, naturally disagreed, and under his easy talk, he agreed to Zhang Yuanshan to go out for a roam.
Before going down the mountain, Zhang Dahai gave him a piece of Chinese clothes that he had treasured for many years, and a long box, when he picked up Zhang Yuanshan, this box was placed next to it, maybe related to his life experience, but because it couldn't be opened, it was stored.
Zhang Yuanshan took his entourage Zhang San and left the cottage, and along the way, he fooled three or five beggars into joining the gang, and decided to go to the official road to rob the passing rich merchants.
At this time, Zhang Yuanshan was lying prone on the grassy slope with a long knife in his hand, Zhang San was lying next to him, with a machete beside him, and a long wooden box behind him, while those beggars and homeless people who flickered into the gang were holding some kitchen knives, sickles and the like in their hands.
Zhang Yuanshan just said it casually at that time, and everyone squatted for two days with great interest, and on the third day, the originally cool weather began to become hot, and at noon, they all retreated. But the atmosphere is here, and he can only continue to wait, this is his first battle, and he must succeed.
Before going down the mountain, he boasted to his father that he had made a name for himself in this Dingtian City, otherwise he would not return to the cottage.
This Dingtian City is one of the five big cities in Linzhou, and in Western Chu, there are six big states, five big cities in each state, and each city has a city lord.
The boy grew up in the cottage since he was a child, and the farthest away was to follow the master of the cottage to Dingtian City a few times.
……
"Young master, someone is coming, someone is coming!"
Zhang San next to him said hurriedly, and patted the young man next to him, the young man opened his eyes in a daze, and said blankly: "What shrimp?" ”
Zhang San was a little dumbfounded, and said with a little doubt: "Young master, you won't be asleep, right?" ”
Zhang Yuanshan also saw the carriage in the distance clearly at this time, turned his head with a serious face, looked at Zhang San, the black-faced man next to him, and said: "What are you sleeping, master, I am meditating, calculating the heavenly machine, you see, this person was not counted by me!" ”
"It turns out that the person was calculated by the young master, Zhang San is really impressed!"
The young man picked up the long knife next to him and said to everyone: "Brothers, copy the guys, and wait to see what I look like!" ”
On the carriage, the main seat sat a beautiful woman about thirty or forty years old, gorgeously dressed, and at first glance the wife of a large family. On the left, is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, the daughter of a beautiful woman, with a high nose and big eyes, a small cherry mouth, fair skin, and a good figure, on the right, is the niece of a beautiful woman, also sixteen or seventeen years old, slim and slim, except for the skin is a little darker, the appearance of the two can be described as comparable.
"Youyou, I'm going to Dingtian City soon, you don't know, Jing Lan has been clamoring to play with her cousin, that little guy misses you." The one who spoke was the girl on the left, the daughter of the city lord of Dingtian City, Fang Jingyu, she had just returned from her mother's house in Donghai City in Dongzhou with her mother, and Tuoba Youyou on the right was her uncle's youngest daughter.
Tuoba smiled and said, "I haven't seen Jing Lan for many years, I'm afraid I've grown a lot taller, and I'm definitely more playful than before." ”
Fang Jinglan had a strange illness when she was six years old, and went to Donghai City for treatment, and she stayed for two years before coming back, and now it has been four years.
While the two were talking and laughing, the carriage stopped, and the sudden shaking startled several people, and the lady opened the side curtain and asked, "Yuan Jie, what's wrong?" ”
"Auntie, it's not a big deal, someone is blocking the road in front, I'll go up and see what they want to do."
"Well, you should be careful, too."
Next to the carriage, a young man rode a horse, with a long sword pinned to his waist, his facial features were handsome, and his two long hairs moved with the wind on his forehead.
Tuoba Yuanjie rode to a few people, looked at the few people in front of him, at first thought it was a robbery, but when he came over to take a look, he felt outrageous.
The leader of the person, only seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, although a little dusty, but can still see that this set of clothes has some value, and a few people next to him, except for a big black man who is dressed plainly with a few patches, the rest are all in rags, holding some sickles and kitchen knives, Tuoba Yuanjie does not look like robbers no matter how he looks at these people.
"Where did the thief come from, hurry, get out of here." Tuoba Yuanjie directly opened his mouth and scolded loudly.
The young man pulled out the long knife from the tattered scabbard, there was still a little rust on the knife, and the young man didn't care, he pointed directly at Tuoba Yuanjie on the horse, and said with a sneer: "Have you heard of Zhensanshan?" That's right, it's my father, who knows each other, so get off the horse and give the brothers wine money, and I'll let you go. ”
Li Xuanting, the three mountains of the town, has some prestige in the rivers and lakes, walks around in the boundaries of Mount Tai and Lei Mountain in Qizhou, and Wuliang Mountain in the west of Linzhou. Of course, the boy is not talking about Li Xuanting, but his thief father Zhang Dahai, Zhang Dahai has three small hills under his hands, so he proclaimed himself a town Sanshan, and the boy often bragged outside, and he didn't say his name, just said that he was the son of Zhen Sanshan, and when he was lucky, someone really fooled him, such as the scythe gods of war behind him.
Tuoba Youyou poked his head out of the side curtain of the carriage, looked at the people blocking the road in front of him, was directly amused, and said directly: "Jing Yu, come and see, these little thieves are really interesting." ”
Fang Jingyu also poked his head out, looked at the seven or eight beggars in rags, holding kitchen knives and sickles, and then looked at the young man who was the leader, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker.
Tuoba Yuanjie exhaled, turned over and dismounted, did not draw his sword, and directly shook his right hand: "Do you come one by one, or do you go together?" ”
"You two, go up and get it for him!"
The two beggars, one holding a sickle and the other holding a firewood knife, slashed directly at Tuoba Yuanjie, Tuoba Yuanjie came out with his left hand and right hand, directly grabbed the wrists of the two, and flipped it hard, and the two of them instantly fell backwards and ate.
Four more beggars rushed up, Tuoba Yuanjie was also calm, a few turned over, a few whipped legs, one looked at the face, and the six beggars rolled on the ground and wailed.
"Little thief, come on, let the master loosen your muscles and bones."
Tuoba Yuanjie sneered and approached the young man, suddenly, the big man next to him, Zhang San, kicked his leg, Tuoba Yuanjie raised his left leg, one turned around to dodge, Zhang San raised his leg and quickly put it down at the same time, lowered his body, and a sweeping leg followed, Tuoba Yuanjie jumped up slightly, and Zhang San slashed again.
In the face of Zhang San's continuous attacks, Tuoba Yuanjie opened the distance with several backhand flips, and he was also a little shocked: "Yo, this big guy still has a bit of strength, but it's just these two three-legged cats..."
Tuoba Yuanjie quickly attacked Zhang San, just now the enemy was light, only to retreat again and again, under his fast and rapid attack, Zhang San was grabbed and pressed to the ground, Tuoba Yuanjie ordered the entourage behind to come and hold down, and he walked to the faintly trembling young man.
The young man raised the long knife, directly slashed, Tuoba Yuanjie did not dodge, picked up the scabbard and slapped the knife directly, while standing firmly with his left foot, his right foot came out with the wind, right in Zhang Yuanshan's chest, Zhang Yuanshan flew out, fell to the ground, only felt that his chest was dull, faint pain, and his mouth was full of blood, he slowly stood up, jumped a few flying kicks at Tuoba Yuanjie, Tuoba Yuanjie dodged a few sliding steps, and turned around again, and grabbed the boy with a face, and the entourage next to him threw the rope over, and Tuoba Yuanjie directly tied the boy, Dragged to the side of the carriage.
"Auntie, what do you do with these people?"
Madame opened the curtain, looked at these ragged people, and sighed: "It's all poor people, let them all go, that wooden box looks extraordinary, it must be stolen goods, put it in the back carriage, this leader stays, enters the city, and sends it to the yamen." With that, Madame returned to her seat.
Tuoba Youyou opened the door curtain again, looking at these people, Fang Jingyu was also beside her, she saw the appearance of the young man clearly, his hair was scattered in the fight just now, messily moving with the wind, and his face was a little dusty, but it was not difficult to see that the young man's sword eyebrows and starry eyes were very handsome. A gorgeous costume, after being fought and dragged, it has been slightly damaged. Fang Jingyu looked at the funny young man and asked slightly, "What's your name?" ”
"Humph! If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, Master Zhang Yuanshan! ”
