A mighty procession passed through the county seat, and the market town never stopped. There were herds of cattle and sheep in the team, and the vehicles were connected, and it was none other than Guo Sheng, Li Kui and others, who turned into a caravan from the north and returned according to the designated route.

Thousands of bison, wild asses and other livestock, plus gold and silver treasures looted from the black shop in Mengzhou. Even the medicinal herbs and other materials are worth a lot!

I'm afraid I can't have hundreds of thousands of dollars!

The team stretched for two or three miles, and the return journey was by no means lip service. Guo Sheng was entrusted with a heavy task, and he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and strictly ordered the whole team to be on guard.

Chen Hu led dozens of guards to drive the beasts in front of the road, more than 100 people escorted the convoy behind, and Li Kui took dozens of Leng Tou Qing to break the back. Guo Sheng himself led a hundred guards to maintain mobility and divided into multiple teams to patrol and guard.

Fortunately, with so many good horses, from infantry to cavalry, he had the confidence to overcome difficulties. The livestock and money were returned to Chao Mansion safe and sound.

Along the way, I took the official road, and tried not to take those sparsely populated places. One is afraid of robbing the road by strongmen, and the other is afraid of wild cattle and wild asses escaping.

Walking the road is fast, but there are also many disadvantages.

Herds of cattle and sheep and other livestock, and the huge rhinoceros naturally attract the attention of passers-by. The news was rambling and soon spread around the periphery.

A cattle and sheep dealer from the north, in addition to bringing back cattle and donkeys, actually had rhinoceros. Along the way, the Chaofu guards found that the number of pedestrians on the official road was gradually increasing, and most of them were ordinary people, pointing curiously.

The rhinoceros is full of treasures, and the skin can be used to make high-quality leather armor, which is a strategic resource, or the control of the government, and ordinary people are not allowed to hunt at will. However, if it is sold back from the Great Liao Kingdom in the north, it is another matter.

There are many people, and there are no spies.

Guo Sheng, Li Kui, and Chen Hu were like great enemies, and it was only at this time that they understood the reason for Chao Gai's worry. Curiosity kills cats, and it kills people.

After the brothers discussed, all the swords were unsheathed and entered the first level of combat readiness. But if someone or team dares to come to block the road and stir up trouble, they will be defeated first.

Maybe the team was huge and numerous, or maybe the team was full of cavalry. Guo Sheng could feel the malicious gaze peeping, the team was not fast but steady, staying at night, and crossed Jingbei Road (northern Henan Province) into Jingdong East Road (Shandong) without encountering an attack.

Ten days of peace and sound, instead of letting him relax, he became more vigilant. still ordered the team to be on guard, and personally led the team to sit in the center.

He was right to be vigilant, and just as the team was about to cross Puju and march south into Jeju, he was confronted by an army at the junction of the two states.

The opponent's horse infantry army was about three to five hundred people, all of them with bright armor and bright armor, and everyone stood tall with swords and guns. It occupies most of the official roads, pedestrians and traders on the road. If you encounter it, you have to knock on the bone and suck the marrow, and no one dares to provoke this group of soldiers.

Chen Hu led the people to drive the beast herd and was the first to encounter this group of officers and soldiers, and hurriedly retreated to make way. It's a pity that this team of officers and soldiers deliberately found fault and scattered to block the way. I saw a large herd of livestock screaming at the oncoming her, and my face was full of greed.

"Hahaha, brothers, you have a good day today!"

"What a fat cow and sheep! Let's go, go over and take some! ”

The two teams met head-on and stopped, and the advance and retreat must not form a confrontation situation. A group of people in the official army rode out, babbling and laughing. Everyone wore crooked hats and stared at each other, and at first glance they knew that they were ruffians.

Those who are good do not come, and those who come are not good! When Chen Hu saw that the officers and soldiers on the opposite side deliberately blocked the road, he knew that the other party was not well-intentioned, and most of them were coming for them. His eyes motioned for many guards to draw their swords and prepare for battle.

"Well, if you smugglers don't run, are you trying to resist?" The first strong man with a full face rushed out, and a wicked man sued first: "Put down your weapons and wait for inspection, otherwise you will be ......"

It's just that before he finished speaking, Chen Hu urged the horse out of the battle and interrupted in a rough voice: "This military master, the small one is the caravan of Chaogai in Yuncheng, Jeju, who went to the north to sell cattle and sheep and returned. There is a certificate issued by the Jeju government. ”

After that, he asked people to take out a few documents, which were stamped with a bright official seal. Yuncheng County, Jeju Prefecture, including business escorts, is not left behind. Chao Gai did business with the government in private, and these were naturally well considered.

These proofs are all true! It's a pity that the officers and troops on the opposite side are obviously finding fault. The guy with a full face read the seal letter, and all of them tore it up and yelled: "Bah, these are all forgeries, these smugglers are so bold." Come on, arrest them all and send them to the government. ”

On the opposite side, hundreds of officers and soldiers on horseback immediately dispersed, preparing to force their forces. Chen Hu's face was a little ugly, and it was a little difficult to make a decision for a while. It is absolutely impossible to be disarmed by the other party, but it is even more troublesome to resist being framed.

"Wait, who dares to move?"

It was at this time that the horses' hooves rumbled behind them, and the roar of anger rang out. It was Guo Sheng, who commanded in the center, who saw that there was a difference, and led the team to come to help.

"Phew. It doesn't matter what state capital you're from, it's important to be honest. We are the people of An Shan, and we are the caravan of King Chao of Yunseong, Jeju. On the orders of the Governor of Jeju, he went to the North to sell cattle and horses.

These livestock are all preparing to fight against the increasingly rampant Liangshan Shui Kou, you blind pickled talents, if you dare to move, you will collude with the Liang Shan Shui Kou, if you dare to come, we will dare to kill. ”

These words exploded like thunder, reasonable, well-founded, and measured, and every word was heart-wrenching. The frightened man took a few steps back from his horse.

The officers and soldiers who were about to surround them froze in place, not daring to advance a single bit. During this time, the news of the Liangshan thieves was spread, who dared to collude with them?

The movement here also caused pedestrians and vendors on the official road to gather. They did not dare to come closer, so they could only watch from a distance, and they also heard the roar. Many people looked at this group of officers and soldiers, and their faces showed some sarcasm. Is the team of Shandong heroes Chao Tianwang so easy to blackmail?

Some people in the crowd saw that this was strange, and the official army seemed to be dressed differently from the local forbidden army, but like the border army on the border east of the river. At the moment, it is obvious that he is deliberately provoking trouble, isn't it aimed at Chao Tianwang?

The officer with a meaty face felt the many eyes on his face, and his face was a little uncontrollable. He snorted coldly at Guo Sheng, and then retreated into the formation. Obviously, things are beyond estimates, and I can't do it myself, and I go back to ask for instructions.

After a while, the officer dispersed again, and the officer rushed out again. Pointing to the more than 20 huge rhinoceros in the team, he shouted: "Well, these horned rhinos are extremely precious, and the imperial court strictly prohibits them. ”

There were rhinoceros in the deep mountains and old forests of the Song Dynasty, and according to historical records, there was a unicorn incident during the Song Renzong period, and later the news of the rhinoceros spread, and the name of the rhinoceros is not unfamiliar, and it is mostly called the horned rhinoceros.

"I'm sorry, but these are sold from the north, and they are not covered by the law." Guo Sheng understood that the other party was not good, so he sneered at each other with a cold face.

"We are good people and obey the law, how can we be like you?"

"You ......, hmph, the official is too lazy to talk to you." The officer was furious, and pointed to the back of the procession and shouted as if reading a holy decree: "My family has taken a fancy to these horned rhinos, and specially sent a fortune to you, and we will buy them as armaments." You make a price......"

"If you don't sell it, we can use it for bandits!" Guo Sheng interrupted and refused without giving face. Even if the other party is a forbidden army, he doesn't take it seriously.

Just when the officer was about to get angry, someone next to Guo Sheng suddenly exclaimed: "Brother, something is wrong, many of them seem to be the bankers of Zhujiazhuang." That's right, I saw it last time I grabbed livestock. ”

"That's right, it's them, no wonder they're so familiar."

"Oh my God, it turns out that these officials and soldiers are pretending to be from Zhujiazhuang."

……

Many of the guards in Chaofu were involved in the chase of livestock a few months ago. It was the first time in a few months that I forgot about it and didn't contact it. Now someone mentioned it, looked at it carefully, and suddenly shouted like thunder.

Although Guo Sheng joined Chaojiazhuang after the robbery of the birth gang, he had never heard of Zhujiazhuang. The other party was playing tricks again, and he couldn't help but be furious. Swinging Fang Tian's painting halberd, he shouted: "Bah! It turned out that you people pretended to be officials and soldiers, and you dared to loot and extort, which is really a thief and hard to change. ”

"Dare to pretend to be an officer? It is a sin of treason, and everyone will be punished and killed! Seeing that it was advantageous for Chen Hu to face his own side, he slapped his horse and danced with a knife and shouted to kill.

Numerous guards galloped and ready to charge!

That momentum frightened the officers and soldiers on the other side, who already had ghosts in their hearts, retreating one after another!

"Hmph, bold, how can the general's subordinates be slandered at will?" At this time, there was a cold snort in the rear army formation of the officers and soldiers, and then I saw the sergeants quickly disperse to vacate a road. One rode in front, and the other rode half a step behind.

The person who fell behind had a white face, narrow eyes, and rode a white dragon horse, although he was draped all over his body, but it was Zhu Jiazhuang Zhu Biao.

Yes, he was the one who caused the official army to intercept the caravan today. During this time, I was thinking about how to take revenge on Chao Gai all day long, thinking about it, thinking about it, thinking about it, and almost being stunned when I didn't think about it. I didn't think of it, but I felt that the power at hand was too thin.

Can't beat people to retaliate, but isn't it being beaten back?

Some clever Zhu Biao felt that he was looking for helpers, so he sent his henchmen to various states and counties to inquire about the news, trying to make friends with heroes and heroes to help him.

I don't know if it's luck or providence, I insisted on two or three months without working in vain. Not long ago, he really asked him to find out a great man!

This person is a native of Shangdang County, Hedong, and he is only 30 years old and is in the border army to worship the Marquis of Yu. Good at using two guns, there is the courage of ten thousand people.

The third master of the Zhu family was overjoyed when he learned the news, and concealed his father Zhu Chaofeng and his master Luan Tingyu, and prepared to go to the state capital to make friends with this heroic man.

Since Zhu Biao met this brother, he was invited to the best restaurant to eat and drink in three days, and he heard that the other party would soon become the supervisor of soldiers and horses in the state. I feel that I have a backer to take care of in the future, don't mention how beautiful it is.

He is a narrow-minded guy, and he is still always wondering how he can meet Chao Gai, Shi Xiu avenges the humiliating revenge, and has the confidence to be unscrupulous. When he learned that Chao Gai's caravan had returned from selling cattle and horses from the north, he immediately found his good brother to help him vent this evil breath!
