With a burst of wanton laughter, seven or eight strong men burst out of the forest, all shirtless, depicting dragons and phoenixes.

The first person was dressed in a brocade robe, with a silver crown in his hair, and a pair of peach blossom eyes. However, his complexion is bluish and his eye bubbles are puffy, and he looks like he is overly drunk. At this time, he shook out of the woods, staring at the little girl on the horse, with a lewd look on his face. As for Qin Chong, he was completely ignored by him.

Seven or eight men were armed with weapons, with swords and bows and arrows on their backs. It's not like the military, it's like a big family's nursing home and the like.

scattered in all directions, surrounding Qin Zhong and the two.

"Little lady, look where you're running today." The man in the brocade robe has his hands behind him, and he is determined to win.

"You, you don't have to be arrogant." The little girl shrunk and was obviously afraid. Still, I mustered up the courage to rebuke loudly.

"It's so arrogant, what can you do?" The brocade-clothed man said that, and a group of people immediately laughed wildly.

"You?" The little girl's face turned pale, but she also knew that she had encountered a villain, and she was a little at a loss, and looked at Qin Chong for help.

Qin Chong didn't say anything, with a faint smile on his face, quietly looking at this group of people. Although they all carried knives and arrows, in Qin Chong's eyes, they were just a pile of wooden stakes. However, there was one person who had been standing far away, holding a bow and arrow and watching coldly, which attracted Qin Chong's attention.

The man was leaning against the tree, looking lazy, but his feet were one behind the other, maintaining an attacking posture. The bow and arrow in the hand hang downward, but the arrow is on the string, and it can be shot with a raised hand. And the position is very particular, with his back against the tree, he can attack and defend, advance or retreat, and he is an expert person.

Turning around, Qin Zhong reached out and hugged the little girl off the horse. When the fight starts later, the little girl sitting on the horse is the most dangerous. If the horse is frightened, she must be thrown off. Moreover, there is a person in the distance, but is it not an arrow target?

"Where's the boy, you're fucking tired?" The man in brocade was furious, and raised his foot and kicked at Qin Chong.

Qin Zhong grabbed his foot and neck with one hand, and pulled it forward. The man in brocade let out a miserable scream, and sat on the ground with a big split, covering his crotch with his hand, his face turned pale in pain, and he howled lifelessly. Qin Chong took a step forward as if nothing happened, but he was stepping on the calf of the man in brocade.

"Ahh With the sound of crackling bones, the man in brocade screamed miserably. The strong men around him were so shocked by the sudden change that they forgot to rescue, looked at Qin Chong stupidly, and didn't react. However, the man in the distance pulled the bowstring and aimed at Qin Chong.

"If you think clearly, if you shoot this arrow, you will die." Qin Zhong moved a step slightly and blocked in front of the little girl.

stared at the man in the distance, but the corners of his mouth showed a playful smile. The man was just an ordinary hunting bow, and his speed and strength were weak, and with Qin Chong's skills, he could completely dodge the first arrow. And Qin Chong was also confident that he would not give him a chance to shoot a second arrow.

The man with the bow's eyes jumped slightly, and he didn't dare to let go of the bowstring. Qin Chong's unusually calm made him dare not act rashly.

After hesitating again and again, he finally put away his bow and arrows, and looked at Qin Zhong with cold eyes.

"Carry him back, if he is treated by a doctor, his leg will still be connected." Qin Zhong said, grabbed the little girl's wrist, and walked up the mountain. The war horse was psychic, and naturally followed behind Qin Chong. Leaving a group of people stunned, but no one dared to pursue Qin Chong, they were all frightened by his coldness.

"You broke his leg?" After turning the corner, and no longer seeing those people, the little girl slapped her hand on her chest, as if she was afraid.

"Will you give him a bone?" Qin Zhong asked with a smile.

"No, it won't." The little girl raised her head with disdain on her face.

"Then he's going to be lame." I heard the shopkeeper say that there is no Langzhong in this radius of dozens of miles.

"It's good to be lame, whoever let him do all the bad things, retribution." The little girl said indignantly. But as soon as he finished speaking, he quickly drooped his head, looked preoccupied, and said hesitantly, "His family has a lot of power, and if he suffers such a big loss, he will definitely take revenge." ”

"Oh?" Qin Chongyi turned his head and asked, "Who are they?" ”

"They're from Thunder Castle." Speaking of Lei Gong Fort, the little girl's eyes could not hide her fear. "A radius of one hundred and ten miles, all of them are the territory of Lei Gong Fort."

"Oh? So powerful? Qin Chong was surprised.

"Isn't it? The land under the mountain was bought by Lei Gongbao, and if he dared not sell it, he would beat people and burn down the house. ”

Qin Chong couldn't help but feel even more strange when he thought of the wasteland he saw. Haoqiang enclosure is normal in this year. However, it is not too common to buy it and leave it unattended. The purpose of buying land is to grow grain and store grain, and in a famine year, you can make a lot of money, and you can't spend it in a few lifetimes.

"What do you want to do when you buy land and don't plant it?"

"Raising horses." The little girl said.

"Raising horses?" Qin Chong stopped abruptly, his eyes widened in surprise, it was incredible. "Where are the horses?"

"I don't know, that's what the townspeople say."

When it came to horses, Qin Chongli thought a lot. He came out just to find a horse, and now when he hears the news, how can he not pay attention? Whether or not it is related to the lost horse is extraordinary in itself. How can a rural landlord have the audacity to raise horses?

Nowadays, the imperial court has not implemented the horse protection law, and the common people are not allowed to raise horses. Even the horses that pull the cart must be purchased from the imperial court, and they must be registered and recorded, and they cannot be slaughtered at will. Now the situation in Song and Xia is tense, and Ma Zheng is even more severe.

It's strange that in the deserted town of Erbium, there are people who wantonly raise horses, and their heads have grown a lot?

After another trip up the mountain, the little girl took Qin Zhong out of the mountain road and into a forest.

When you get here, you have to leave the horses behind and walk forward. After three rounds and two circles, the two came to a ravine, full of artemisia grass more than one person high, and there was no feasible road at all. The little girl was very familiar with this place, and she deftly burrowed into the wild grass, and disappeared in an instant.

It wasn't long before the little girl came out again, and the medicine basket was full of herbs.

Qin Zhong took a look at it and felt that this herb was strange. It's like a bamboo skewer, wearing a ham sausage, which looks weird.

"What kind of herb is this? It's weird. Qin Zhong asked curiously.

"This is Pu Huang, which can stop bleeding and disperse stasis. All of you have knife wounds and need this medicine. ”

"Oh." Qin Chongchang saw it, and also remembered this strange-looking Pu Huang. "Do you need to pick any herbs?"

"No, you can go back."

"Okay." Qin Zhong took the medicine basket and carried it on his back and walked back to the road.

After an incident, the little girl was obviously much closer to Qin Chong, and the two talked and went out of the forest one after the other. helped the little girl to get on the horse, but saw that she was entangled again, and her face was flushed. "Or? You can get on your horse too, and go back quickly. ”

"yes, okay." Qin Chongle was like this, gently stepped onto the horse's back, and reached out to grab the reins of the horse, as if holding the little girl in his arms.

Feet lightly knocked the horse's belly, the war horse snorted, and slowly ran in broken steps. When she reached the flat ground, she hissed, spread her hooves and galloped, and the strong wind that rushed in front of her made the little girl both nervous and excited. The body rises and falls with the leap of the war horse, the skirt is fluttering, and the hair is flying.

"Where are you from?" The little girl asked loudly.

"Shayuan Supervisor."

"Where to go?"

"Yanzhou."

"Yanzhou?" The little girl was stunned, turned her head and said happily, "My master and I are also going to Yanzhou." ”

"Let's go together." Qin Chong didn't think much about it and said casually.

"Okay." The little girl answered happily.

Galloping on horseback, the speed of going back is much faster. But in the blink of an eye, I was in town.

By this time, the sun was setting, the smoke was curling from the houses on the roadside, and there were fewer pedestrians on the streets. The horse's hooves trampled on the gravel ground with a crisp sound. When she entered the town, the little girl squirmed again, as if she was afraid of being recognized, and kept her head down and did not dare to raise it.

Arriving at the door of the cart shop, Qin Zhong dismounted. Stretching out his hand, he wanted to help the little girl.

Unexpectedly, the little girl made another mistake, her face was blushing, and she refused to support Qin Chong's hand. Grabbed the iron lintel by himself and clumsily slipped down. As a result, in a panic, he forgot that he still had stirrups hanging on his feet, lost his balance, screamed, and fell backwards.

"Ahh The little girl screamed and fell into Qin Chong's arms, and her whole face turned red in an instant.

The little girl struggled to her feet, and forgot to take the medicine basket. Frightened like a fawn, he lowered his head and ran into the yard.

Qin Chong touched his nose, laughed twice inexplicably, grabbed the medicine basket, and led the horse into the yard. In the courtyard, there are no old ghosts, but there is an old man who is squatting under the tree to decoct medicine. The little girl seemed to have forgotten the embarrassment and was chattering with the old man.

"Master, when are we going to Yanzhou?"

"I'll be there in a few days."

"You've said many times that after a few days, you just won't leave."

"Alas, there is a shortage of doctors and medicines here, and there are too many patients."

"When will that be?"

"You little girl, I don't see you in a hurry on weekdays, why are you urging to go to Yanzhou today?"

"Hehe, Yanzhou is going to fight, let's go early, we can prepare early."

"Well, you'll have to do some preparation." The old man nodded and asked again, "What about the medicine you were asked to take?" ”

"Huh?" The little girl jumped to her feet suddenly, and then she remembered that she had forgotten to take the medicine basket. turned around and ran out of the door, but unexpectedly, with a "bang", it hit Qin Chong.

"It hurts." Qin Zhong didn't move the medicine basket, but the little girl covered her nose and squatted on the ground and screamed in pain. As soon as she looked up and saw Qin Chong clearly, she was even more aggrieved, and suddenly became tearful. "You, what's the matter with you? Why stand behind people and not squeak? ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Seeing that the little girl was crying, Qin Chong was embarrassed and hurriedly bowed and apologized.

"Hmph." The little girl rubbed her nose and grunted angrily.

"Who is this?" The old man stood up and looked at Qin Chong.

Qin Chong and the little girl went to collect medicine, but they didn't see the old man. At this time, when I saw a burly young man at first glance, I couldn't help but take a few more looks. But seeing Qin Chong wearing a military uniform, it is not difficult to guess that he must be a person who is traveling with Fang Cai. The eyebrows are clear and handsome, and the instrument is lofty, and there is a little admiration for it.

"In Xia Qinzhong, I have seen my husband." Qin Zhong put down the medicine basket and bowed down.

"Courteous, courteous." The old man smiled and waved his hand slightly.

"Don't you dare to ask my father-in-law's surname?" Qin Chong didn't know the old man's surname, so he asked.

"The old man's surname is Wang, the brothers are the fourth, and the blind dates are all called the old husband Wang Si." The old man said, pointing to the little girl beside him, "This is the old man's apprentice, called Xiao He, he is still young, he is very naughty all day long, little brother Qin should not be surprised." ”

"It's Qin Chong who is reckless, and please don't blame Sister Xiaohe." Qin Chong saluted Xiao He again.

"How can I be naughty? Master, you are talking nonsense. Xiao He suddenly stopped obeying when he heard this, pulled the old man's sleeve, and swayed from side to side. Seeing Qin Zhong saluting her, she was suddenly startled and jumped away, her little face flushed and embarrassed. Turning sideways slightly, he bowed to Qin Chongfu.

The little girl was shy, and immediately fled into the house after seeing the salute.

The old ghost, Shi Yong and the others were all in the next room. A large bunk is enough to lie down ten people, which can be seen to be big enough.

According to Wang Langzhong, the knife wounds suffered by several people were not light, and it was not appropriate to ride horses again. And now that the weather is getting hotter, it is very easy to suppurate and fester, and it is necessary to change the dressing every day. Therefore, the wound was cleaned again, and after the medicine was bandaged, they all rested in the big car shop.

You can't go today, and you can't go tomorrow. Wang Langzhong said that he had to stay in bed for at least three days.

Qin Chong went to the restaurant to buy food, and did not forget to bring one for Wang Langzhong and Xiao He. In the big car shop, there is no one else now, except for the shopkeeper and his wife, that is, Wang Langzhong's master and apprentice and Qin Chong's party. After talking, laughing, and eating, a group of people sat on the bed and chatted to pass the time.

Qin Zhong remembered the things of the day, so he spoke.

"Today, I went to collect medicine with Miss Xiaohe and met a local bully."

"Shout, is this a story?" He Wu'er teased Qin Chong.

"That bully is from Thunder Gong Fort, and I heard that it is extremely powerful." Qin Zhong ignored He Wu'er and continued to talk about it.

"How big? Is it bigger than our riding camp? "The veteran kept interrupting and didn't take it seriously at all.

"Don't say it, don't say it, I'm going to sleep." Qin Chong went to the bed and pulled the quilt over his head.

"Say, say, speak." He Wu'er pulled Qin Zhong up, he was bored, why didn't he listen to a story? "No one is allowed to interrupt."

"Don't interrupt, tell me what's wrong with Miss Xiaohe?" The veterans all had a wicked smile on their faces.

"It's not Miss Xiaohe, it's none of her business. Are you still listening? Qin Chong's face turned red anxiously, and the little tiger began to go crazy.

"Listen, listen, listen." The crowd laughed in response.

"I heard." Qin Chong looked around for a while, and saw that no one interrupted again, so he continued, "This Lei Gongbao is extremely powerful, bullying men and women on weekdays, and harming the surrounding people. To see whose girl is handsome, she snatched it on the spot. ”

"Are they going to rob Miss Xiaohe today?" The veteran asked, guessing.

"With the little tiger following, who can snatch it? Maybe hit him with a flower in the face. "Another veteran picked up.

"That's just as well."

"Still listening?" Qin Chongyi covered his forehead, which can be regarded as serving these uncles.

"Listen, listen, listen." Several people hurriedly responded.

"Lei Gongbao did a big thing, forcibly seized it, and bought a hundred and ten miles of land." When Qin Chong said that he was one hundred and ten miles, he was also smacked his tongue.

"A hundred and ten miles away? How many acres of land do you get? "The veterans can't figure it out at all.

"It doesn't matter how many acres he has, it's a lot anyway, and you can't afford it for eight lifetimes." The veteran opened the conversation again.

"Why can't you afford it? Lao Tzu has a son, do you have one? ”

"It's amazing to have a son." As he spoke, he looked like he was about to fight.

.........

Qin Chong finally knew that he was wrong, and he couldn't talk to this gang of rammers. Silently covering his ears, he lowered his head and slipped out of the room.

Looking up at the night sky, he let out a long sigh helplessly.

"What's wrong?" The old ghost followed and asked with a smile.

"Fort Lei Gong occupies such a large area of land, and he wants to raise horses." Qin Zhong learned to be obedient, did not do foreshadowing, and directly said big things.

"Raising horses?" The old ghost feels incredible, is this a headless thing?

Then, he thought of the war horses lost by the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and he was not calm.

The two looked at each other, and it was clear that they were both equally suspicious.
