Originally, according to Meng Xiuyuan's plan, he was going to take a boat along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal all the way south to Yuhang County.

Only by showing traces along the canal in this way can you better brush your presence in the eyes of Yu Culture and even the entire Sui court, and open up space for Shi Long, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

But after two battles on the river and on the bank of the river, Meng Xiuyuan felt that this faceless and frightened General Yuwen already had a strong impression of himself, and there was no need to emphasize more.

In this way, Meng Xiuyuan simply changed his plan.

He happened to lose the boat, so he didn't think about looking for another boat, but took the overland route instead.

Starting from the south bank of the Yangtze River, Meng Xiuyuan walked in a direction and walked, vigilant against the incoming enemy, and deliberately hurried unhurriedly.

Unexpectedly, for so many days, he still did not encounter the Sui army's encirclement and interception, and the wind and waves were calm along the way.

Obviously, it should be that Nayu Culture and already knew how powerful Meng Xiuyuan was, and he didn't dare to come to the door alone without strong reinforcements around him.

Thinking of this, Meng Xiu couldn't help but relax a lot, only treating this as an ordinary trip in front of him, and instead devoting more energy to martial arts cultivation.

He sometimes went to the mountains and wilderness for ten days and a half to cultivate, and sometimes he went to the nearby villages and towns to rest and show some traces.

Months passed, and it was still uneventful.

Until this day, Meng Xiuyuan happened to have finished a period of practice, and went to a small county town to find a hotel, wash and change clothes, and rest steadily.

No, in the middle of the night, I suddenly heard the sound of the street gradually becoming noisy, from weak to strong, until finally it was almost full of people.

Meng Xiuyuan knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly stopped his efforts and gathered his strength, jumped out of the window on the second floor of the hotel, stepped straight on the roof, and looked at the situation on the main street of the town.

When I looked closely, I saw people and cars fighting for the road, rushing to the south of the town, calling for my mother along the way, and the crying was shocking.

One by one, the townsfolk dragged their families and scrambled to be the first to be the first, crowding each other, and many of the salutes they carried with them fell to the ground, but no one bothered to pick them up.

In a matter of moments, the road was filled with clothes, furniture, utensils, shoes, and other miscellaneous items that had been thrown away, accompanied by the mournful sound of the surging crowd, almost a scene of near end.

At this moment, a gray-haired old man in the crowd accidentally fell to the ground because he was walking too quickly, and he was about to be trampled by the crowd behind him.

Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately floated to his side, stretched out his hand, and pulled him to a quiet place on the side of the street.

"Sir, it's all right.

Can you tell me what happened to make everyone so alarmed? ”

The old man was already panting, coupled with the fact that he was in shock, and he could hear Meng Xiuyuan's question, his mouth opened and closed for a while, but he couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Meng Xiu didn't rush him, only held his arm, lost a little bit of true qi into his body, and turned around in his meridians a few times, when he calmed down the old man a little.

"Little brother, thank you, thank you for saving me......"

The old man finally took a breath, and in a trance, he first subconsciously thanked Meng Xiuyuan for two words, then his body trembled, and he said hurriedly:

"There's going to be a war here, it's going to be a war soon!

Listening to them, Du Fuwei broke the Sui army in Dongling and occupied Liyang, and the military horses were approaching.

Little brother, you should run away quickly, it will be too late......"

Speaking of this, the old man shook off Meng Xiuyuan's arm in a panic, carried a small burden behind him, and hurriedly chased after the fleeing crowd.

Fortunately, there were a few wisps of true qi imported by Meng Xiuyuan, and the old man's legs and feet were much more convenient than just now.

Meng Xiuyuan stood on the side of the road, silently looking at these townspeople who had fled south, and after a while, his figure suddenly flashed and disappeared in place.

……

In the dark night, Meng Xiuyuan turned into a green shadow, floating silently from the vast land, and ran straight to the north.

He wanted to see for himself what was going on there.

When it was dawn, Meng Xiu saw a small village in the mountains and forests in the distance, so he slowed down and wanted to enter the village to find out the news nearby.

No, at this time, suddenly there was a loud sound of hooves, and a team of people and horses rushed out from behind the eastern hillside, grabbed ahead of Meng Xiuyuan, and entered the village first.

This group of horsemen consisted of about sixty or seventy men, and their clothes were of various colors and disorders, except for a green scarf hanging from their right arm, which was counted as a common sign of identity.

At a glance, you can see that it is not the regular Sui army, but the rebel army or bandits.

As soon as they entered the village, they raised their hands and shot a few domestic dogs barking at the courtyard, and then broke into every house and drove out more than 100 villagers, men, women and children in the village.

For a while, the chickens and dogs walked, calling for their mothers, and crying and screaming, which was shocking.

Immediately, the Green Turbans separated the men and women of the village into two groups and arranged them separately, while their more than 60 cavalry scattered around to prevent anyone from escaping.

In this way, Meng Xiuyuan, who saw the distance in the distance, frowned slightly, and understood why those townspeople in the night were in such a hurry to flee to the south.

And the village in front of me is obviously suffering a big loss because of the lack of information, and it has endured today's disaster.

Meng Xiuyuan restrained his breath and walked to the front of the village, but he didn't make an immediate move.

He wanted to see how these so-called "rebels" behaved on weekdays.

"Fellow villagers, my Jianghuai army is here today to warn some soldiers.

The strong men in the village, let's stand up by ourselves, don't have to work hard for our brothers to pick.

Being able to enter the command of my Jianghuai Army today is a rare blessing for you.

When Mr. Du wins the world in the future, you will be able to get ahead with you......"

A leader jumped out of the cavalry, and under the protection of the left and right wings of four personal entourage, rode his horse to the front of the villagers, and said loudly.

When the men in the village heard this, they were all very resistant, and only a few men with yellow faces and thin muscles and ragged clothes took the initiative to stand up, obviously because they had no land assets and no food in the village on weekdays, so they wanted to join the army to eat.

When the leader of the Jianghuai Army saw this scene, his face changed suddenly, and he immediately snorted angrily and scolded the villagers:

"Hmph, if you don't know what to do, then don't blame me......"

As he spoke, the man waved his long whip in his hand, and immediately more than a dozen cavalrymen around him turned over and dismounted, rushed into the villagers, picked out all the slightly strong men, and tied them together with ropes.

The women who were mothers and wives in the villagers immediately wept bitterly when they saw their sons and husbands being dragged into the labor of their husbands, and they looked very miserable.

However, when those so-called rebels saw this scene, except for a few people's faces changed slightly, the rest had no expression at all, as if they did not have the slightest compassion.

At this moment, the leader rode past the group of women and children, stopped his horse, pointed at one of the beautiful village girls with his whip, and shouted:

"Come on, bring me this too......"

As soon as he said this, he should have had his subordinates to help him immediately, but one of the cavalrymen closest to the village girl was stunned when he heard this, his body stiffened on his horse, and he did not act for a long time.

"Daniel Zhang, you dream, didn't you hear me speak?!"

Seeing this, the leader was furious and immediately shouted at his men.

When the cavalryman heard this, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, ran to the chief, took off his leather helmet, showed a swarthy and honest face, and spoke carefully:

"Boss Qi, I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the rules if you do this.

If you don't bear with me, when we enter the city, I will invite you to the kiln......

Before the cavalryman finished speaking, he suddenly heard a "snap" whip, and then the hot pain on his face came, and he involuntarily sat aside.

"Lao Tzu said yes, what are you, dare to stop me?!"

Boss Qi shouted angrily, so frightened that the cavalryman's neck shrunk, and he didn't dare to speak again.

Seeing this scene, the remaining soldiers didn't dare to ask Boss Qi to speak anymore, so they hurriedly dismounted and rushed into the group of women and children, and pulled the village girl out.

Looking closely, the woman was really quite beautiful and plump, which was very different from ordinary village women.

Boss Qi turned over and dismounted, looked at the woman and laughed lewdly, and was about to stretch out his hand, when suddenly another young rebel stopped in front of him and said coldly:

"Boss Qi, Mr. Du has a life, and he must not rape women, if you are on the precipice now, it will still be too late."

Seeing this, Boss Qi was furious, and immediately hung the horsewhip on his waist, pulled out the scimitar on his back with his backhand, put it on Li Jing's neck, and shouted angrily:

"Li Jing, are you also impatient?

It's all my own brother here, you two newcomers don't talk nonsense, how can Manager Du know?!

Hmph, don't think that if you have two hands, you can not take me seriously.

Today, this woman is played, whoever wants to stop me, I will kill whomever I want.

The king of heaven is here, and it is the same! ”

As he spoke, Boss Qi's sword turned around, and he wanted to use the back of the knife to slap Li Jing aside, but because he was afraid of Li Jing's martial arts, he used all his strength in this move.

And that Li Jing also had a flash of light in his eyes, showing killing intent, and reached out to touch the weapon on his waist.

I don't want to be when a big battle is about to start, Boss Qi suddenly has an empty hand, the long knife is gone, and then an indifferent voice comes from behind:

"Oh, really?"

The next moment, Boss Qi only felt a chill coming from under his crotch.

……

Compared with the previous two lives, this Tang world is obviously more prevalent in martial arts.

The soldiers in the army, whether it is the average strength or the number of masters, are naturally much higher.

Among the sixty or seventy cavalrymen alone, there are more than ten people who have entered the threshold of internal martial arts. Such a proportion was completely unimaginable in the two worlds of Yitian and Tianlong before.

It is no wonder that no matter what level of master in this life, it is difficult to defeat thousands of troops on the battlefield, and most of the time he can only play as an assassin.

Of course, Meng Xiuyuan is still slightly different from them.

Although he suffered a little when he fought against the top martial artists in this world because his martial arts realm was not high enough, with the advantage of his strength and physical strength, Meng Xiuyuan had a natural advantage in abusing vegetables.

Not to mention that there are only sixty or seventy cavalry, it will increase by ten or twenty times, and for Meng Xiuyuan, it is only a matter of time before it is solved.

It didn't take long, and the cavalry present were all cleaned up by him, and they all clicked on the acupoints, and then tortured them.

Except for Boss Qi, who had died under his own knife, only Li Jing and Daniel Zhang, the two people who spoke out to stop the atrocities, were able to move freely at this time.

"In Xia Li Jing, I have seen this son.

Your Excellency's martial arts are already the only ones I have ever seen in my life, and with the addition of benevolence and righteousness, it is even more rare.

It is really Li Jing's luck to meet such a person as Your Excellency today......"

Seeing that Meng Xiuyuan had finished handling the chores, Li Jing immediately took the initiative to step forward and said in a respectful voice.

When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he couldn't help but take a closer look at this person, only to see that his face was rough and chic, which was different from ordinary people. If the guess is correct, it should be the famous general of the ages.

"Brother Li is polite, he just passed by by by accident and did it casually.

It is also commendable that you are not afraid of the power of your boss and still stand up.

It's just that I don't know how a character like Brother Li can be mixed in such a team? ”

Meng Xiuyuan also arched his hand towards Li Jing and asked.

Li Jing's expression was slightly gloomy when he heard this, he shook his head, and said to Meng Xiuyuan:

"In troubled times, it is really not easy to find a master.

This Duvowe is very famous, and I thought he was a character.

But after these days of close observation, I gradually realized that he is not a hero who can win the world.

Not only is the control of his subordinates not strict enough, but he is also greedy for small profits in front of him, so forcibly recruiting Zhuang Ding into the army, making people angry and resentful, it is really a strategy to make people angry.

If you want me to say, many people in this world have been subjected to the tyranny of the imperial court for a long time, and many of them will no longer be able to live, and if they change their methods and ascend to the heights, it may be much better than this forced conscription......

Speaking of Du Fuwei's matter, Li Jing was obviously full of disdain, and involuntarily said a lot of off-topic remarks for a while.

Meng Xiuyuan didn't interrupt him when he heard this, so he listened silently, until he suddenly felt that something was wrong after a while, and then quickly turned his head to look at Daniel Zhang, who had been silent since the beginning, and asked:

"Friend, why do you keep staring at me?

Do you think there's something wrong with me? ”

Daniel Zhang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand to deny it, and then hesitated for a long time before he asked Meng Xiuyuan weakly:

"My lord, I dare to ask.

I don't know, your surname is Meng ......"

Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, immediately nodded, and hesitated:

"In Xia Meng Xiuyuan...... Where have we met this friend? ”

That Daniel Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately stood up from the ground, hugged Meng Xiuyuan's shoulder, and said excitedly:

"Brother Meng, why don't you remember me?!

I'm Yongzi, the Yongzi of Cuishan Town......"

Meng Xiuyuan was quite surprised when he heard this, hurriedly pushed it away, looked it up and down carefully, and said in disbelief:

"Yongzi...... You, how did you look like this?

The shopkeeper and the proprietress are giving you something to eat......"

It's no wonder that Meng Xiuyuan didn't recognize Yongzi, who had been with him for several months, but after ten years, the other party had changed too much.

The child, who was originally white and thin, only as high as Meng Xiuyuan's chest, has grown into a big man like a dark iron tower at this moment, rough and strong, and his overall body is more than two or three laps larger than Meng Xiuyuan.

recalled that the couple in the small restaurant in Cuishan Town were all ordinary short in stature, and they didn't know how to raise such a child.

Daniel Zhang didn't answer when he heard this, just smirked and quietly stood beside Meng Xiuyuan, just like in his childhood, his heart was full of security.

Li Jing was interrupted by this episode, and knew that he had just said a little too much, so he immediately changed his head and reminded Meng Xiuyuan:

"Meng Gongzi, congratulations on meeting your old friend again.

But right now, maybe it's not a good time to catch up.

If what I expected, Du Fuwei and his personal guards may soon pass by here.

We should evacuate the villagers here as soon as possible, and then find a way to escape.

Although this Chief Du has no ambitions, he is not an ordinary person, and his martial arts and power are rare in the world.

We have deeply offended him at this moment, and we may have fallen into a great crisis. ”

Hearing this, Meng Xiuyuan glanced at the cavalry who were caught by him, then shook his head and replied:

"This villager should have evacuated earlier, let them take refuge in the south, and avoid the war.

But this Du Fuwei, I want to meet ......"
