After hastily eating some snacks, Zhao Chuanxin looked back at the broken wall of the broken temple and slashed at the black cutter.

Rumble......

The crispy wall that had been blown by the wind fell down, and the dust fell into the dust, and Zhao Chuanxin's arm was numb.

He looked at the black cutter and saw that the blade of the axe was crumpled and crooked, and could not withstand such a vigorous slash.

Bayard grinned with pleasure.

Zhao Chuanxin was depressed, this thing just looks bluffing, and it is actually not durable.

I really wanted to throw it away, but I felt that it was a pity, so I thought about it and waited for better steel to be there.

At this time, Xu Hongyan's figure had disappeared from sight.

Zhao Chuanxin slapped the residue of the dim sum in his palm and turned over on the horse.

The two continued on their way.

……

Xu Hongyan ran forward, occasionally looking back in panic, and seeing that Master Zhao did not catch up, he felt both relieved and a little lost in his heart.

He thought to himself that if he had Master Zhao's ability, he would not let himself fall to this point.

He hadn't been out much, and he didn't remember the road.

walked to a house, knocked on the door, and said, "I'm bothered, I want to inquire, how to get from here to Xu's camp?" ”

The old man scratched his head: "Baby, are you lost?" Xu's camp? Which Xu family camp? ”

This camp, that camp, there are too many.

Xu Hongyan saw that this family was not rich and noble, and this old man had a good face and did not look like a wicked person, so he told the truth: "I was kidnapped by the bandits, and I fled halfway, and I didn't know where I was." ”

The old man shook his head and sighed: "Poor baby, how old is this." You follow this road east, first to Uiju, find the local patrol station, and they will help you find home. ”

Xu Hongyan is very grateful.

The old man gave him another piece of dry food and let him drink a bowl of water, but he did not keep him.

I think the old man is also afraid of bandits.

Xu Hongyan saw the peasants working in the fields beside the road, the ears on the side of the road were already yellow, the dog's tail grass swaying in the wind, and the black dog looking at this side in the ridge of the field that was both curious and vigilant...... He thought to himself that if he was a beggar and begged along this road, although he would not have delicious food, he would be able to mix half a steamed bun and a bowl of water without starving to death.

Not to mention, the feeling of freedom is immediate.

The child was suddenly in trouble, and the brain circuits became very strange.

He thought to himself: No money may be the least worthwhile shortcoming of the poor. I have a small asset in my family, so I can feel the desire for freedom in this way.

When the sky was very dim, Xu Hongyan suddenly saw the dust in the north.

When they got closer, Xu Hongyan first noticed that the horses under their crotches were all horses that had been cut and opened their noses by ancient methods.

Liaoxi is close to the grassland, even a middle-class young master like Xu Hongyan knows some things on the grassland.

Let's not mention the cutting situation for the time being, just talk about the nose.

The people on the steppe grew up on the back of a pony, and their riding skills were born and they could fight, but many people did not notice that their war horses had to open their noses, in fact, they operated on the horse's nose to make it breathe more smoothly, so that the Mongolian horses, which were already good at long-distance running, could run more easily.

When Genghis Khan marched west to Khorezm, the Khorezmians thought it would take a year for them to arrive. But under the leadership of Jebe, one person and six horses, each horse must open his nose, and it will arrive in six months, which can be called a blitzkrieg.

In the battle of Sanfeng Mountain, Torre led the cavalry to attack and harass the Jin army, and after three days and nights, the Jin army was sleepy and tired, and finally suffered a heavy defeat.

It's just that when I read history, everyone thought that the Mongols could fight at that time, but they ignored many equipment problems.

Xu Hongyan was looking at it intently, but suddenly remembered something.

On horseback, there were several people in patrol uniforms!

He came back to his senses, jumped to his feet, raised and waved his arms: "Save me, save me......"

The man at the head had a large face, high cheekbones, and a wide-brimmed hat. He waved his hand first to slow down behind him, and he also grabbed the reins himself, and slowly stopped in front of Xu Hongyan.

Xu Hongyan looked at it, the patrol officer led by him should be in his 30s, with high cheekbones, high eyebrow bones, and two eyebrows like wide-edged sickles, which made the perimeter of his eye sockets form a complete circle.

With this kind of physiognomy, it is difficult to distinguish loyalty and treachery.

But Xu Hongyanxin said: Since he is a patrol policeman, he wants to help the people after all, and he can't act as viciously as bandits.

So he hurriedly spoke: "My lord, my lord, I am from the Xu family's camp, I was kidnapped by bandits and escaped halfway, can you help me, send me home, I will ask my family to entertain you......"

The visitor raised his eyebrows and looked back.

Xu Hongyan found that the knight behind him had a playful face on his face.

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Babu Zabu Hall, the baby of the Xu family's camp, could it be said that the old land is tied to the vote?"

Someone in the back asked with a smile.

Xu Hongyan's heartbeat accelerated suddenly, his eyes glanced left and right, and he wanted to choose a way to escape.

The hall is the chief of the patrol police department.

As the chief of the patrol police department, he actually knew the whereabouts of the bandits, either because his family reported to the official, and these people tracked them down.

Either the patrolmen and the bandits are complicit.

But no matter how Xu Hongyan looks at it, it doesn't look like the former.

Babu Zabu turned around, leaned forward, and looked at Xu Hongyan: "How did you escape?" ”

Xu Hongyan clearly saw a touch of yin owl in Babu Zabu's eyes.

He rolled his eyes: "I ran while they were napping." ”

Babu Zabu laughed gloomily twice: "Very good, you are very clever, take this little baby, let's go." ”

Xu Hongyan saw that there were no empty horses, so he hurriedly said: "Don't bother the adults, the small people can walk." ”

Babu Zabu restrained his smile, squinted his eyes and said, "Who has the kung fu to walk slowly with you?" Get on the horse. ”

Xu Hongyan not only did not step forward, but retreated, but tripped over a canopy of windmill grass.

Under the signal of Babu Zabu's eyes, a sturdy grassland man dismounted, stepped forward quickly, grabbed Xu Hongyan's collar, and the skinny Xu Hongyan couldn't resist at all.

The man raised his hand and slapped him.

"Smack!"

Xu Hongyan's eyes were full of stars, and he shook his head before he came to his senses, and said with a crying voice: "Don't beat me, don't beat me, I'll just get on the horse......"

"The little cub is not honest!"

The man said viciously.

Babu Zabu drew his whip from his waist and threw a blast through the air.

Xu Hongyan was frightened.

Babu Zabu smiled and asked, "Say, how did you escape?" ”

Xu Hongyan was frightened, crying with a sad face: "It's Master Zhao, the sword saint Master Zhao eats black and eats black, killed the old land, Master Zhao still wants to exchange me for ransom, and I escaped while he was unprepared......"

He still didn't tell the truth, but it wasn't completely fake, at least Zhao Chuanxin teased him like this.

Babu Zabu sneered: "Hmph, I didn't expect that in Liaoxi, there are still people who dare to touch my Babu Zabu's tiger whiskers, so daring!" ”

As mentioned earlier, Lao Dihe is not an ordinary bandit.

During the peaceful years, he would stop for a while. It was not peaceful, so he took advantage of the situation, surrounded the people below, and built a strong line above.

This line is Babu Zab.

This Babu Zabu is not an idle person.

His ancestors lived in TMTZQ, where Zhao Chuanxin had passed, and later moved to Liaoxi.

Taking advantage of the local reclamation, their family wantonly encroached on the land and became a local nouveau riche.

But Babu Zabu's parents are at least willing to work. When he came to him, he refused to do a little work, colluded with the local evil youth, and became a bandit leader and a local tyrant when he was young.

At its peak, it had a gang of more than 100 centaur thieves.

When the Russo-Japanese War arrived, the goods took refuge in the Japanese and fought with Tsarist Russia.

This team is fierce and good at fighting, and has repeatedly rushed into the rear of the Russian army to carry out harassment activities.

After the war, through the maneuvering of the Japanese, he helped Babu Zabu to defect to the Qing court, and he was successfully recruited in exchange for the post of chief of the patrol police department.

But apparently Babu Zabu has never been willing to be lonely, and just a poor and remote patrol police chief can't satisfy his appetite, and he has made a lot of small moves behind his back.

Lao Dihe temporarily took refuge in him, and under his intelligence, he had already tied up two or three votes in a row, but this vote was unlucky and ran into Zhao Chuanxin.

And Xu Hongyan was even more unlucky, he actually fled back halfway down the road and met love around the corner.

I confirmed the eyes, and it was a meat ticket to the upper number.

Babu Zab couldn't let him go home like this, and wouldn't it be bad if the old Dihe gang revealed any rumors?

Babu Zabu asked Xu Hongyan again: "Does that Laoshzi Sword Saint Master Zhao know anything?" Before Lao Dihe died, was he tortured? ”

Xu Hongyan is young and ignorant of the world.

But he is very smart, although he doesn't study very hard, but his brain turns quickly.

The more things Babu Zab cared about, the more they had to do the opposite.

Xu Hongyan thought about this section in a flash, and immediately said: "Tortured, I escaped while Master Zhao tortured Lao Dihe." ”

"Good!" Babu Zabu sneered: "Go and call people, gather people, and we will chase after them." ”

"Don't kill me, I won't say anything." Xu Hongyan shouted.

"Kill you? How will it kill you? I have to lead the way to identify the murderer, what our patrol police do is to protect the territory and the people! ”

“……”

Xu Hongyanxin said: Arrest your grandmother!

……

Zhao Chuanxin and Bayar's journey was not fast.

Bayar, on horseback, looked up at the sky: "It's almost sunny." ”

Zhao Chuanxin didn't speak.

Bayar's forehead was slurking: "You gave me a wine jug......"

Zhao Chuanxin's matches were always extinguished by the wind, and he secretly said that he should have made a lighter, and finally lit the cigarette, and the cigarette in his mouth hung on the ground.

He coughed: "Otherwise, you will pay me back." ”

Bayar immediately shook his head: "This thing deserves to fall into my hands." ”

Zhao Chuanxin didn't understand what he meant: "Bayar, you old guy, you should really understand those demon ways like exorcism, right?" ”

"What demon way?" Bayar was upset: "I believe in the gods. ”

"Gree......" Zhao Chuanxin asked again: "Then you are a serious shaman, right?" ”

"I'm a shaman, and that's right."

Then neither of them spoke.

Zhao Chuanxin saw something, he couldn't be sure.

And what Bayar saw, he didn't want to say.

Neither knew that the other knew something.

Zhao Chuanxin gave the silver wine jug to Bayar's forehead, because he felt that this old man had been dancing all his life, and he should have some real ability to talk about gods.

Bayar didn't return the silver wine jug, because he thought it was better to deal with this thing himself.

The crows hovered in the sky, "wow" and "wow".

There was a child in the ridge next to him, who picked up the stones on the ground and threw them into the sky in vain to drive away the crows: "Roll on, whoever crows on their heads, whoever crows will die!" ”

Although the height of the crow is beyond the reach of a child, Bayar immediately stopped: "Hugh is messing around, the crow god is just calling the police, hurry home and ......"

He feared that these children would be ignorant and would offend the gods. Zhao Chuanxin looked at it and felt that this old man was a little interesting, he didn't blink when he killed people, but he also had compassion.

A group of snotty babies grimaced at Bayar's forehead and dispersed.

A crow landed on a tree beside the road, and countless more followed.

The respect in Bayar's eyes was palpable.

Zhao Chuanxin drove his horse to the tree, took out a piece of beef, and took a small piece of Tibetan blade and put it in the palm of his hand.

Bayar said: "The crow god does not like to come into contact with people......"

Before the words fell, a red-billed crow fluttered its wings and flew over.

It landed on Zhao Chuanxin's sleeve, bowing his head and pecking at the chopped beef cut.

Bayar: "......"

The first time he saw it, the crow was so fearless.

Then, as if the door to a new world had been opened, there was a hula, and crows circled around Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin chopped the beef into thin pieces, and the goddess scattered the flowers.

This made Bayar once again sure that Zhao Chuanxin had some mysterious and unique connection with various gods.

In this case, does the silver jug have a deeper meaning when it was given to him?

The two stopped talking.

Zhao Chuanxin walked in front, and the crows followed for a while.

The crow is a bird that some regions consider auspicious, while others find it discouraged. A hundred miles away, there may be two customs.

The same thing can be understood as a funeral report, or it can be understood as an early warning.

However, stripped of the raven's bark, the crow is just a relatively intelligent bird that likes to scavenge.

The two continued to move forward, and when the sun was setting in the west, they were already almost at Chaoyang Mansion.

The two saw a pair of mandarin ducks from the countryside on the side of the road, and they wanted to refuse and welcome them on the side of the road, they were shy and timid, keeping a certain distance and whispering.

Bayar's old and uncultivated man looked very energetic.

Zhao Chuanxin teased: "What's the matter, envy? ”

Bayard looked at the blushing face of the girl who bowed her head and said, "It is better to make a woman blush than a long piece of honey." can have its own rouge, so you can't tell the truth from the fake in the world. Fortunately, this is the township, and there is no heavy makeup. ”

Zhao Chuanxin laughed when he heard it: "Then you haven't seen a beautiful face, if you do, not only will you not be able to tell the affection, you can't even tell the difference between men and women." ”

"......" Bayar asked curiously, "What is beauty?" ”

"Beauty is a kind of mirror, through this mirror, the ugly becomes beautiful, and the beautiful Saixian becomes beautiful."

Bayar shook his forehead: "Terrible, this mirror is terrifying!" ”

"No, usually the people behind the mirror are more terrifying."

“……”

The two talked nonsense all the way to Chaoyang Mansion.

This place is a bit dilapidated, but I can find a car shop to live in.

Zhao Chuanxin went to the back kitchen and borrowed the store's stove.

"Guest, this ......" the cook was reluctant.

Zhao Chuanxin did it himself, and with his own ingredients, he couldn't make his money. Besides, if you still need to use firewood, isn't it a loss?

In addition, after working for so long, it is the first time that I have heard that a guest wants to cook in the back kitchen by himself.

Usually bring your own dry food at most and go back to the room to nibble.

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes were ridged: "What's the matter?" Don't believe in my cooking? I tell you, I'm quite authoritative in all aspects of cooking. ”

"......" The cook was speechless: "It's not so, it's just, it's just ......"

After all, his cheekiness is not as thick as Lao Zhao, he wants to say that it is none of my business whether your cooking skills are good or not, mainly because I can't earn your money and have to build firewood.

But I'm embarrassed to say it.

"Since it's not, don't be a mother-in-law, hurry up to the side."

Zhao Chuanxin's hip shaft arched, arching the cook to the side, exposing his arms and rolling up his sleeves.

Just as he was about to start rectifying the two dishes, he heard the helper run to the back kitchen and say, "Master Master, it's amazing, yesterday the medicine picker dug up a stone with a fish......

Zhao Chuanxin listened, suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened and asked, "Fish grow in the stone?" Are there any long birds? Is there any long grass? Are there any long dragons? ”

harm, nine times out of ten, the world is unsatisfactory, you must not do that persecution......
