Chen Xiaohou stammered a little, pointed at the tip of the knife, and said in his mouth: "Boy, listen to the truth, we are the Salt Gang!" Seeing that Zhu Ziping was expressionless, he turned his head to Master Zhang Tang and said, "Boy...... Unafraid? ”

Hall Master Zhang kicked down Chen Xiaohou and yelled at Zhu Ziping: "Ignorant boy, you don't even know about our Salt Gang? As he spoke, he pointed to a fat man beside him, "Zheng Siniu, teach me a lesson to this kid!" Zheng Siniu responded, raised his waist knife, and rushed towards Zhu Ziping.

Zhu Ziping was still standing, the two were about five zhang apart, seeing the man rushing over, Fang flicked his fingers and flew out of an object to hit his steel knife, only to hear the "dang" steel knife landing, Zheng Siniu rushed out a few steps and found that the steel knife in his hand was gone, so he was so frightened that he quickly stopped his steps. Zhu Ziping popped up another object and hit Zhang Tang Master, he jumped and flashed, and the flying thing continued to move forward, hitting a man behind him, the man covered his chest and fell to the ground, waw wow screaming in pain.

Hall Master Zhang looked back, only to see that there was still a thing spinning around the person who fell to the ground, and when he picked it up, his face turned pale in an instant, it turned out to be a chestnut!

It turned out that when Zhu Ziping jumped out of the car, he still had a few chestnuts in his hand, and seeing these people arrogant, he couldn't help but burst the chestnuts up, and shouted at this time: "Master Zhang, take another one!" Master Zhang only felt that the strong wind was coming, and he waved the knife away, and it was the sound of "dang", and the tip of the knife was broken! He was so frightened that he scattered and fled with everyone on the ground.

Zhu Ziping turned around, but heard Yan Yue ask with a worried face: "Big brother, they said it was the Salt Gang?" Zhu Ziping nodded.

"There are many big and small gangs in Xi'an, and there are two major gangs, namely the Salt Gang and the Tea Horse Gang. The Salt Gang is a big gang, they mainly sell illicit salt, and the Tea Horse Gang mainly smuggles tea horses, both of which are strictly prohibited by the imperial court, but they collude with the government and are powerful. Could it be ...... The third master last night was Li Sanye of the Salt Gang? ”

When Zhu Ziping heard this, he was also secretly surprised: "If this is the case, it will be troublesome to be entangled by these people." But his stubborn temper made him dispel his worries later, and said, "I don't care what gang or faction he is, if you provoke me, I won't spare him even if I try my best." Second brother, if you're afraid, we'll go our separate ways. ”

"What did the eldest brother say, we once swore an oath to share blessings and hardships, don't say that there is no big deal now, but there is a big event, how can I cringe? Regardless of him, we go ours. ”

Zhu Ziping nodded and said, "Okay!" This is my brother. The coachman shrank on the side of the road with his head in his hands, and then walked over with trembling legs, and said in a loud voice: "Two heroes, I can't go with you, I have an eighty-year-old mother at home, and there is a ...... below."

Yan Yue waved his hand, took out the passage treasure banknote and handed it to him: "This big brother, the cost of the car was forty taels before, this is one hundred taels of treasure money, you transfer the carriage to us, okay?" ”

A horse is only worth ten taels of silver, and the carriage can be sold for sixty taels, which is really a good thing that fell from the sky. The coachman was still worried, but when he heard Yan Yue's words, he immediately laughed, hid the treasure money close to him, and quickly turned around and left.

Zhu Ziping sat in front of the carriage, he had not yet driven the carriage, but for more than 20 days, he had been in the carriage every day, even if he watched it, he learned the appearance of the coachman, and with a flick of the whip, the horse ran forward. After a while, Zhu Ziping was also handy in control.

The three of them went until Danfeng County that night. Danfeng has the convenience of "connecting Qin and Jin in the north and Wu Chu in the south", but the three of them are not in the mood to enjoy the night view, after dinner, Yan Yue asked Ouyang Lan to bolt the door tightly, and then added a table to squeeze it up, but he couldn't wait to guard the door for her. Zhu Ziping also put the sunset at his feet to guard against danger. As a result, nothing happened overnight, and Zhu Ziping muttered in his heart: "Is this salt gang real or fake?" ”

In the evening of the second day, the three arrived at Shangluo. Shangluo, west of Xi'an, east of Nanyang, north of Qinchuan, south of Jianghan, Qinling Mountains in the territory of the extension, Luohe, Danjiang and other rivers meander.

Yan Yue introduced: "Big brother, this Shangluo is also a historical city, "Spring and Autumn Zuo Biography" records, the third emperor of the three emperors and five emperors is called Gao Xin, his eldest son and third son are always at odds, often fighting, Gao Xin has no way to take them, so they have to separate the two, of which the eldest son is sealed here, and after his death, he is called Shangxing, and the third son is called Sanxing after his death. In the Nakshatras, the two stars always rise when one sets and the other rises, never meeting. Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty said that 'life does not meet, and movement is like participating in and business' is derived from this allusion. ”

Zhu Ziping secretly thought to himself: "Life is not like seeing each other, and moving is like participating in business." Will the same be true of the brothers...... I think that Wang Hou and I will never be like this, I just fought for his life, and I didn't let him be bullied and unjust. Even if it's Yan Yue, I won't fail him. ”

Ouyang Lan sighed: "Actually, it is unfortunate for the brothers to be like this, and if the husband and wife are like this, it is even more unfortunate. ”

The three of them found an inn to rest, and at dinner, Yan Yue ordered a few exquisite dishes, and said while putting vegetables in the bowls of Zhu Ziping and Ouyang Lan: "Big brother, sister Ouyang, we have a lot of snacks here, but they are very tasteful, I have been to many places, and my favorite is the food in my hometown." Oh, this is cornmeal dough, which tastes better when put in hot soup sauerkraut; This is acorn jelly, which is made with a unique oak tree, which is smooth and smooth; This is Shanyang bacon, 'fat is not greasy, thin and does not stuff teeth', the taste is mellow, and these black fungus and konjac are local specialties, you eat more. After a meal, Zhu Ziping ate straight to his stomach.

Early the next morning, when the three of them went out of the city gate, they felt that the road in front of them suddenly opened up. Shangluo Road, known as "the throat of Qin and Chu", is the main road of traffic leading to the southeast regions and the Central Plains in Chang'an, ranking second in the national post road traffic at that time, the road is very wide, and can accommodate more than a dozen carriages side by side. Zhu Ziping galloped on his horse, only to feel the spring breeze blowing on his face, and his mood was also smooth.

On the road, from time to time, there are fast horses galloping by, and the horse's hooves hit the bluestone road, making a crisp and pleasant sound. After walking for a short time, I saw some people blocking in front of me, as if they were watching something. Zhu Ziping slowed down, glanced at the field, and saw a burly man wrapped in a scarf on his head was raising his horsewhip and whipping it at the old man lying on the ground.

Zhu Ziping didn't want to join in the fun, and was about to bypass the onlookers, when he suddenly heard a crisp voice say: "If you let the old man go, if you fight again, you will die." ”

The whipping man stopped, and his bronze bell-like eyes glared at the person who spoke just now, but he saw that the person who spoke was a beautiful and tall woman, about twenty years old, wearing a three-collared narrow-sleeved green shirt, embroidered with lace, riding on a white southwest horse, beautiful with a bit of sass.

"Who are you? Dare to meddle with our salt gang's gossip? The strong man asked in a rough voice. Zhu Ziping was waiting for the past, but when he heard this, he stopped the carriage and watched from the sidelines.

The woman in green said: "The Salt Gang is not an unreasonable gang, the old man is just slowing down, you just beat and scold at will on this official road, can you still be regarded as a chivalrous faction?" ”

Zhu Ziping heard it and secretly applauded. I saw that the strong man was annoyed and angry, and whipped at the woman, but was blocked by the scabbard in her hand, and the woman in green jumped off the horse, pulled out her long sword and reprimanded: "Why are you so arrogant, when I am afraid that you will not succeed in the salt gang?" The strong man pulled out his waist knife with a stabbing sound, slashed at the woman, and scolded in his mouth: "Thief, your mother, see that Lao Tzu doesn't kill you." ”

The onlookers retreated in calamity, making way for a large clearing of land. The woman in green shook the long sword, the swords knocked each other, the long sword was retracted, and a circle was drawn to the left, slashing the strong man obliquely, and the steel knife was blocked again, but she saw the long sword rising upward, stabbing the strong man's right shoulder, and the waist knife fell to the ground.

At this time, six men with a pigmented scarf on their heads surrounded the woman in green, and the steel knife was cut out at the same time, and the woman was in a hurry, and the danger was everywhere, and she heard the sound of "stabbing" twice in a moment, and the sleeve of the woman's left arm and right leg were cut at the same time.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the onlookers retreated one after another, lest it affect themselves. Suddenly, I heard the sound of "dang", and the steel knife of one of the men was knocked away by something. "It's shameless, six hit one." I saw a blue-shirted young man jumping out of the carriage on the side of the road, his eyes flashed and he got up in the field, handed out the package in his hand, and poked a man in the back with a move of "hanging beam thorn", and the man vomited blood and fell to the ground.

The young man made another move, "pulling out the clouds and seeing the fog", and the package slashed to the right, hitting the steel knife of another man, and the knife flew out more than a foot away. The other four saw that it was wrong, so they quickly turned around and stood far away.

Zhu Ziping didn't make another move, and asked, "Girl, are you seriously injured?" "Thank you Gongzi for saving me, I'm not seriously injured." Zhu Ziping pointed to the carriage with his hand: "The girl will go to the carriage first and bandage it." ”

The woman in green walked to the carriage and was pulled into the carriage by Ouyang Lan with her hand. There was trauma medicine in the woman's baggage, Ouyang Lan took it out and applied it to the wound according to her words, and took out the gauze and bandaged it carefully. The woman in green thanked her, and Ouyang Lan said: "Sister, don't be polite, I just saw my sister make a righteous move, I admire it very much, what is my sister's name?" ”

"I just can't get used to them bullying an old man, where is the righteousness, my name is Li Jingxi." Ouyang Lan also made an introduction and asked, "Where is Sister Li going?" "I came from Shangluo and prepared to go back to Xi'an." Yan Yue arched his hand when he heard this: "It turns out that the girl and I are fellow countrymen, and we are also going back to Xi'an Mansion, why don't we go together?" ”

Zhu Ziping had already inspected the beaten old man at this time, and saw that he was not injured and there was no major problem, so he took out two taels of silver to let him live and recuperate, and the old man was grateful. When she came back at this time and heard Yan Yue's words, she saw Li Jingxi nodding her head in permission, so she tied her white horse to the car, flicked the whip, and the carriage continued to gallop forward.

The onlookers exchanged their heads and ears: "Who is this young man?" It is unheard of for martial arts to be so high. "Shhh......h
