Rain cats and dogs.

Chu Zhixia sat in front of the fire and wiped his sword, and the post house was drenched in blood. Several men were tied up and pressed to their knees on the ground, with blue noses and swollen faces. The Yu Lin guards bandaged each other's wounds in the corner, and the bloody killing intent in their eyes had not yet faded.

"I don't like disobedient captives, after all, raising captives also requires food and grass." Chu Zhixia pushed the sword back into its sheath, smiling gently and kindly, "So either answer my question honestly or die." Got it? ”

Several people raised their heads and stared straight at Chu Zhixia, with green tendons blooming on their necks. Cheng Yuan walked to the depths of the post house with a knife and picked up the straw stacked high. The rain-soaked straw brewed a musty smell, revealing the corpses that were still warm underneath.

"Who are these?" Chu Zhixia asked.

The man kneeling in the middle yelled, "We will never betray the big boss, you die of this heart!" Acquaintances hurry up and get us-"

His roar broke in his throat, and the guard held his head down, and with a clean knife in his hand, he fell down with a glare. Chu Zhixia waved his hand and motioned for the next one to continue. The guard rubbed the knife on the man's shoulder, and the smell of blood was like a thousand needles pricking his tense nerves.

"These people are a team of doctors, from Yanzhou." The man slammed his head on the ground and trembled and said, "They were originally in the deserted village at the foot of the mountain for free medical treatment, and the big boss knew the news. There were also sick brothers in the cottage, and the big boss sent someone to take them captive. ”

"Why kill people when they have a request?" Chu Zhixia's eyes were like ink jade soaked in ice water, and a thin layer of frost was slightly condensed.

"There was a little lady among the physicians who had a little conflict with our brothers, and when the other physicians saw this, they violently resisted, and the brothers ...... when they missed," the man swallowed frantically and kowtowed to the ground, "I am guilty, I am an animal, please don't kill me, I can show you the way!" ”

The valuables on the corpses were looted, and the medicine pots hanging from their waists were emptied, leaving only a faint smell of medicine. Cheng Yuan saw a thin corpse, turned it over and saw that it was a disheveled female corpse, with blurred flesh and blood in her abdomen, as if she had been stabbed more than a dozen times.

Cheng Yuan nodded at Chu Zhixia, turned his head and took out a handkerchief to cover the female corpse's face, and sighed.

When the others saw this, they didn't have time to scold the traitor, lest he say everything he could say alone, and he couldn't shake out half a word, and finally ended up with his head separated. A group of frightened thieves poured information out of their mouths, who killed the little lady, where can the cottage sneak in quietly, and can't wait to clean the bottoms of the ancestor of the cottage master.

This is the border of Binzhou, named Baizhong Mountain, which belongs to Anyang County. The nearest large town is populated, and the rate of infection with the plague is also rapid, and there are no more people left who are dying and running, and only a few villages are still alive and dying.

The cottage is a den of thieves with hundreds of people, and the boss is called Wang Biao, a reckless man who has read books for a few days. His favorite thing to do is to pull out a knife and play hooligan in front of scholars, drop his book bag in front of a martial artist, and tell big truths.

Cheng Yuan listened for a long time, lowered his voice and asked Chu Zhixia: "Miss, are you going to the nearest big town to transfer troops?" ”

"The person has just died, and the bandit may have only been gone for a short time, and he can still catch up now." Chu Zhixia also said softly, "When we come back with troops, we don't know what will happen." ”

"They kidnapped the doctor to save the plague in the cottage, so they shouldn't be so quick to do it, right?"

"If I'm not mistaken, there is only one talker in Yanzhou." Chu Shixia took a deep breath and said, "The Tan family has been counted up to two generations, and there have been officials to six books. The one who is quite famous in the apricot forest is the granddaughter of Tan Shangshu, Tan Yun. ”

Cheng Yuan shook his head, "That girl is ...... just now"

"That's not a conversation."

Chu Shixia said, "Once Tan Yun's identity is revealed, no one will really dare to touch her." Since this gang of bandits even knew so well where they came from and whose people they were, they would not easily attack Tan Yun. Although there is no one in the court, it should not be underestimated. ”

If you really kill Tan Yun, you will get into big trouble if you can't say it.

Cheng Yuan couldn't figure it out even more, "The situation in Binzhou is so chaotic, the Tanjia family may not let her come." ”

"Yanzhou is not like a cloud, and the defense of men and women is quite severe. Tan Yun showed up, treated the sick and saved people, and he was a deviant. Chu Shixia shook his head, "Tan Yun is a person, and he can't speculate with common sense. ”

Chu Zhixia immediately made a decision and said to Cheng Yuan: "You take my handwritten letter and seal letter to inform the Anyang County Guard, and by the way, settle the medicinal materials and the doctor." I took people to chase bandits. ”

——

Cottage.

The rain outside was so heavy that the overwhelming sound of the rain seemed to drown out the whole world. Wang Biao carried a lantern and pushed open the door, and the faint light of the fire illuminated the girl sitting on the bed. She was bound by strings, unable to move, and turned her head to look coldly at the comer.

"It's about girls, right? Wang has admired his name for a long time. Wang Biao is not like his name, his appearance is not rough, his words and deeds are polite, and he bows to Tan Yun pretendically.

"The people under my hands are inconsiderate and lazy." Wang Biao smiled and untied Tan Yun, and slapped him heavily in the face. Wang Biao's smile was almost shattered when he was beaten, and he twisted his stiff neck to look at Tan Yun.

"What about my people?" Tan Yun was not afraid at all, and looked at him sharply.

"It's all fine," Wang Biao touched his red and swollen face, and said in a good voice, "They are all doctors who hang pots to help the world, and I ordered that they should not come nonsense." Just rest assured about the girl. ”

"What the hell do you want to do?" Tan Yun was furious, "If you want to ask us to cure the disease and save people, why do you want to kill people!" Human life is at present, and it has nothing to do with it. Will we not save people just because you are bandits? ”

Wang Biao coaxed with a hippie smile: "I have already punished that person severely, don't be angry with the girl." ”

Tan Yun finally sensed that something was wrong, took two steps back, and looked at him vigilantly. Tan Yunfang was too collapsed to notice the crookedness and cowardice between Wang Biao's words.

"I have admired the girl for a long time," Wang Biao grabbed Tan Yun's hand and said sincerely, "Now that I can see it, I know that there are such women in the world." ”

Tan Yun pulled his hand back violently, but calmed down, "You want to marry me?" ”

Wang Biao didn't expect her to be so direct, and nodded with joy.

Tan Yun sneered, "You are also worthy?" ”

Wang Biao's face distorted slightly for a moment, and said condescendingly: "Talk about girl, I know that you have a marriage contract in Yanzhou." But your family style is innocent, and Yanzhou also values women's chastity. You have walked in my den of thieves, will anyone still believe that you are ice and jade? ”

Tan Yun smiled sincerely, she felt that this person was ridiculous and pathetic, "Even if I am insulted by you, what about it?" It's you, not me, the damned person, am I going to kill myself by jumping into the river with tears in my eyes to prove my innocence? ”

Tan Yun's eyes were like a sword, and he said sonorously: "I studied medicine when I was a child, and I have treated countless diseases and saved countless people, and I have a clear conscience. If the world were to kill me with the word chastity, I would not take the world into account. I will not die, I will not seek death, I will live to save thousands of people from sickness. And you, a thief who kills innocents indiscriminately, are the most damned person. ”

Tan Yun raised his head slightly, and his unyielding intention was overflowing, and he had the posture of killing or chopping whatever he wanted.

Wang Biao was not annoyed and angry, but was deeply trapped in her unattainable height and could not extricate himself.

Wang Biao has a sparse talent for reading, and he hates people to show off his literary talents the most in his life, and he can't help but show off in front of his illiterate subordinates. He thinks very highly of himself, attributes his fall into the grass to his lack of talent, and hates all the powerful. He looked down on those fireworks women in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, and wishfully thought that she had to be a first-class woman with a family background, talent, appearance, and character to be worthy of him.

And now, he thinks Tan Yun is that woman.

In Tan Yun's eyes, Wang Biao seemed to have lost his mind and gone crazy, and after being scolded a lot, he laughed obsessively.

"Talking girl, my love for you is really getting deeper and deeper." Wang Biao stared at Tan Yun stupidly, like a gambler looking at the biggest point he shook out in his life, "Why don't we go to the church tonight to get married?" ”

——

"Big Boss...... Ah no, Wang Biao, he used to be a scholar. ”

The bandit was tied with his hands behind his back, and said tremblingly, "He likes to pretend on weekdays, he didn't pass the township test, and after being ridiculed by his neighbors, he killed someone with a knife." When the government came to pick up people, he had already left his old father and mother at home, and went up the mountain to the grass to become a coward. ”

The rain hit the eaves of the hat, splashing a pure white splash. Chu Shixia led a team of people to crouch in the bushes near the cottage, and the chill of the rain was pervasive. The campfire of the cottage looms in the distance, like a firefly.

"Go on."

"He had a good brain, he was literate, and he was very much appreciated when he went up the mountain. At that time, the second boss guy took the position of the big boss with him, and he later took the position of the second boss and became the boss. The thief said as if offering a treasure, "I can take you to see the three masters, the three masters and Wang Biao do not deal with each other, you can join forces to ......"

Chu Zhixia raised his hand lightly, and the guards blocked the thief's mouth and dragged him down.

"Miss, what should I do?" The guard asked in a low voice, "If you go in directly, I'm afraid there will be casualties." ”

The guards are not afraid of death, but the mountains and rivers are far away, and there are so many people around Chu Zhixia who can be used. Chu Zhixia followed Chu Mingxiu in the barracks since he was a child, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they grew up. If the guards are buried together in Binzhou, there will be no one to protect Chu Zhixia in the future, there will be three long and two short, and it will be difficult for the guards to die.

"I'll go in first." Chu Zhixia held down the anxious guard, and said without refusal, "It's easy for me to get out alone, don't worry." If I succeed, I will set fire to you, and you will rush in with men to answer you. ”

Although the guards disagreed, the Chu family brothers and sisters all had the momentum of saying the same, and he only nodded. Xue Cheng rubbed it affectionately in Chu Zhixia's palm, and Chu Zhixia patted its neck and handed the reins to the guard.
