Wow! The stakes are high! The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky.

The land of Bashu, surrounded by mountains, no matter which side of the river comes out, you have to go over the mountains and mountains, and the road will naturally not be easy to walk.

In the middle of summer, people are on the rugged mountain roads, and their mood is naturally very bad.

Qingju Mountain, a mountain that is not tall or big, but it is a little eerie. A group of officers and soldiers were walking on the official road in the mountains, escorting more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages carrying large boxes. The box was printed with the word "official" in big red on all sides, and the seal of the government was also affixed on it, which was obviously an important thing that the government wanted to escort to other places.

The leading officer was a garrison general of Chengdu Prefecture, named Song Jin, who was ordered by the governor of Sichuan to escort these more than ten carts to Huguang. At this time, Huguang was in the midst of a famine, so the court ordered the nearby provinces to raise money and grain for disaster relief. The country of Bashu Tianfu has always been a rich place, so it raised 1.5 million taels of disaster silver, all of which were packed in these more than ten big carts.

With so much official silver, there will naturally be no shortage of escorts, and there are nearly 150 officers and soldiers accompanying them. Although there were many officers and soldiers, Song Jin, the officer who escorted him, still did not dare to take it lightly. Because as soon as the matter is forked, all of them will lose their heads. Everyone's lives were tied to him, and he naturally didn't dare to relax. So he chose to rush in the middle of the day and in the dead of night, so as to avoid people's eyes and ears as much as possible.

But with such a large team, how could he really avoid the eyes of others, so his escort team was still targeted by others.

The flames were in the air, the mountain road was difficult and dangerous, and all the officers and soldiers could not bear it.

"General, this place is shady, can you let the brothers rest their feet, drink water and wine before leaving?" An officer suggested.

Song Jin looked at the slopes on both sides, and saw that the slope walls were vertical, steep and unclimbable, and the sunlight could not enter, it was indeed a shady place. But Song Jin always felt that this mountain was like a lion's mouth, and he had swallowed them in his stomach.

He had a bad feeling in his heart, so he urged: "No, this is not a good place, you can't rest, it's not too late to rest in Shunqing Mansion." ”

He was thinking about his safety, and the officers and soldiers complained, but they couldn't take care of that much. As long as everyone successfully completes this errand, it is better than anything else, even if the officers and soldiers complain a few words, it is worth it.

Song Jin had already spoken, and although the officers and soldiers were unhappy, they could only hold it in their hearts, and they had to be ordered to hurry.

The convoy had just reached the mouth of the valley and was about to climb out of the "lion's mouth" when suddenly a horse-drawn carriage sprang out of front of it and crashed straight into the first official car. The people in the carriage shouted loudly, but the horse seemed to be frightened, and did not obey at all, and still slammed into the official car.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Song Jin hurriedly ordered: "Stop it for me." ”

Several pikemen were ordered to immediately stand in the front row, put the tail of their guns against the ground, pointed the tips of their guns at the carriage, and quickly formed a long spear formation to protect the safety of the official car.

Seeing the spear formation, he was not afraid at all, and suddenly raised his hooves and kicked several officers and soldiers to the ground, and the spear formation was actually rushed out of a gap by it.

Song Jin saw it and said angrily: "Slaughtered this beast for me." ”

Several of the other pikemen had already raised their guns and stabbed at the evil horse, which was stabbed and fell to the ground with a long neigh, and in a moment it was out of breath. However, the carriage behind it continued unabated, and it collided with the first official car with a "snap". The axle of the official car could not withstand the slamming and broke into two with a "click", and the official car fell to the ground crookedly.

The man who drove the horse was a middle-aged man, and when he was thrown off the horse, his first reaction was to ask, "Old woman, are you okay?" ”

At this time, a middle-aged woman slowly climbed out of the fallen carriage, her forehead had been broken, and the middle-aged man immediately stepped forward to help her up.

Song Jin saw that they seemed to be just an ordinary couple, but he was startled, and he was angry, so he shouted: "Boldly Diao Min, you actually crashed into the official car and arrested me." More than a dozen officers and soldiers immediately surrounded the middle-aged couple. The middle-aged man looked like an honest man, and when he saw this, he was immediately frightened, and knelt down and begged: "Official, how dare the little one intentionally collide with the official car!" Somehow, the beast just now suddenly went crazy, and the little one couldn't pull it. I hope that adults don't remember villains, and don't be gracious! As he spoke, his pants were already wet.

When the officers and soldiers saw that he was so frightened that he peed his pants, they all scolded him for "pus" and laughed.

Song Jin did see that he was drinking the evil horse constantly, and it seemed that what he said was true, and seeing that he was very honest, he didn't want to dig deeper, after all, it was important to hurry. So he asked: "Then you crashed into one of my official cars, but how did you calculate?" ”

The middle-aged man immediately said: "The little one also brought some silver taels, and all of them were compensated to the official." As he spoke, he immediately lifted the curtain and climbed into the carriage to rummage through the silver taels.

"It smells so good!"

At the moment when the middle-aged man lifted the curtain, all the officers and soldiers smelled a strange fragrance, and the bones in their bodies seemed to be crispy.

Song Jin also smelled the strange fragrance, and felt that the smell was very comfortable, so he didn't care too much, so he took the silver from the middle-aged man's hand, and then ordered: "Move the box of this car to the other cars, and then get the dead horse away, and everyone continue to hurry." ”

Several officers and soldiers stepped forward to move the box when they were ordered, and two officers and soldiers moved a box, and with a fierce force, the box did not move at all. The two officers and soldiers said: "Last time, we both moved boxes!" Why is it heavier this time? Looking at the other officers and soldiers, they couldn't move the box. Then I felt dizzy, and I couldn't stand on my feet, and I fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Song Jin saw that the officers and soldiers around him kept falling to the ground, and suddenly came to his senses, covered his ears and nose and shouted: "Everyone be careful, the incense is poisonous." But it was too late, and I saw forty or fifty big men rushing out from between the mountains on both sides, all of whom rushed over with sharp blades in their hands. Although there were many officers and soldiers, most of them were poisoned, and they had no strength in their hands and feet.

The two middle-aged couples also suddenly changed their faces at this time, and they were both holding sharp knives and constantly slashing officers and soldiers. After all, Song Jin is a general and a brave man, although he is poisoned, he is not afraid at all. At this time, his horse was also poisoned and could not move. So he turned over and dismounted, drew his sword, and slashed down the two robbers as soon as he went up. Seeing that the couple was very brave and had killed many officers and soldiers, he was furious and scolded: "Traitor, eat your grandfather twice." ”

The middle-aged man said to the woman, "You can't keep him alive, you must kill him." ”

So the couple teamed up to besiege Song Jin, intending to kill people and destroy their mouths. But Song Jin was a careful person, and he didn't smell too much poisonous incense, he was just a little dizzy at this time, and he didn't faint. He is also a strong martial artist, and he fought the two alone in the case of poisoning, but he was not left behind. If he didn't have any skills, how could the governor give him such an important errand?

The middle-aged man saw that he couldn't take Song Jin for a while, and exclaimed: "He is still a hard hand, and if it is late, it will change, so we have to withdraw quickly." So there was a whistle, and the robbers immediately drove the official car to retreat in the other direction of the official road.

Song Jin saw the great urgency, so he abandoned the middle-aged man and shouted to chase the official car. The middle-aged couple knew that they couldn't fight Song Jin for a while, and they didn't want to entangle, so they followed the official car.

Song Jin still didn't give up, chased after him and cut down two more robbers, and even detained one of them. The middle-aged man saw that Song Jin had caught a live opening, so he wanted to come back to save him, but suddenly three officials flashed out on the official road, and they also chased after him. Seeing that the situation was not good, the middle-aged couple had to retreat quickly.

The three officials were the catchers of Shunqing Mansion, who had just finished running errands and were about to return to Shunqing Mansion to resume their lives, when they happened to hear the sound of fighting, so they chased after them to see what was going on.

When Song Jin saw the official errand, he shouted: "They robbed the official silver, chase after it, you can't let them run away." ”

The leader of the catcher is called Fan Chou, and he is also a brave man. When he heard Song Jin's shout, he knew what was going on, and said to the two companions: "You take care of the general, I'll go after the gangster." ”

Seeing that there were many people on the other side, the two officials did not want to take risks, so they were naturally very happy.

Fan Chou chased not far away, and suddenly two masked people were killed on both sides at the same time. Fan Chou pulled out the official knife to fight one against two, only to feel that both of them were very strong in kung fu, and they were not ordinary robbers. Fan Chou didn't have the same good skills as Song Jin, so he couldn't resist the joint attack of the two at all, and in the blink of an eye, he was hit by a sword in his left hand. In that instant, he also managed to tear off the veil of one of them. Fan Chou looked at the person and saw that he still knew him, so he said: "Murong Tian, it's actually you!" ”

Murong Tian originally wanted to kill him, but a large group of officials had already chased him over there, but it was the two officials who had brought him in just now. Murong Tian had no choice but to threaten: "The surname Fan, if you dare to talk nonsense, I will kill your whole family." With that, he flew away with another masked man. By the time the official arrived, the robbers had already fled without a trace.

The officers came back and counted all the 150 officers and soldiers, except for Song Jin, who were killed. Song Jin killed four robbers and arrested one of them. Fan Chou had no choice but to take the robbers back to Shunqing Mansion with Song Jin, and then come to think about it in the long run.
