The horses on the ancient road of Chang'an were delayed, and the high willows were neighing. Outside the sunset bird, on the autumn wind plain, the eyes are broken for four days. Guiyun is gone without a trace, where is the early stage? He is unfamiliar with the drunkard, not like when he was a teenager. (Liu Yong, juvenile tour, thought it was inscribed)

Yizhou is located in the easternmost part of the empire, said to be a state land, the actual area is more than four times larger than Youzhou, but most of the area is mountains and forests, not within the actual scope of the empire, what is really in the hands of the ruler of the empire is only the Yizhou Plain, which is about a state of land.

"It is said that adversity sees the truth, and when it is difficult to see people's hearts, those Zhuang Ding hired by the old man are usually not less favored by me, but I didn't think that this battle would start, but no one was willing to take care of me, and I ran faster than one another." On the donkey cart, an old man grumbled.

"You, maybe you're wrong, maybe they're looking for a carriage for you."

"Why don't you say good things for them, and find a carriage to talk to me first? Hey, it's good that my grandson happened to come to see me and meet you again, otherwise I might have been burned to death in the village, by the way, young man, I haven't asked you yet, which tribe are you? ”

"It's good to teach my husband to know that I am not a native of Yizhou, I am from the Central Plains."

"Central Plains?"

The old man looked stunned for a moment, his face became unnatural, and then he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that at the critical moment, the people of my clan are not as reliable as the people of the Central Plains." ”

The young man smiled, along the way before meeting the old man, there were many people who intended to borrow the donkey cart, but as soon as he heard that he was from the Central Plains, he immediately changed his face and stayed away, the young man looked at the old man's injured leg, he knew in his heart that if it wasn't for the old man's inconvenience to walk, he might have gotten off the donkey cart at this moment.

This young man is Shen Ye who came out of Dongjiang City, when Shen Ye was from the city, he spent a lot of money to buy a donkey cart to hurry, and when he passed through a village, he happened to see a young man begging for help, Shen Ye didn't want to care about it, but the young man burst into tears, which made Shen Ye's heart soften, so the three of them went on the road together.

At this time, it was noon, and the young man volunteered to go to the surrounding area to get food, leaving Shen Ye and his uncle waiting by a pavilion.

There were more than ten Yizhou people who were in a hurry around the two of them who were also resting in the pavilion, and when they heard that Shen Ye was from the Central Plains, everyone immediately cast an unkind gaze.

The old man realized that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, he was afraid that these people would do something to Shen Ye, so he said loudly: "No matter where you are from, if you help me, you are a guest of my Nanrong tribe." ”

When everyone heard that the Nanrong tribe was all expressions, they all twisted their heads back, and only a middle-aged man in a leather robe with ringed eyebrows and leopard eyes looked at Shen Ye thoughtfully.

Although Shen Ye didn't know the situation of the Baiyi tribes, seeing everyone's reactions and the arrogant look of the old man, he also knew that the power of this Nanrong tribe could not be underestimated.

Shen Ye pretended to be surprised and said, "You are from the Nanrong tribe?" ”

"Not bad." The old man said proudly: "My dog is now the leader of the guard of the Great Elder of the Nanrong Tribe. ”

The middle-aged man in the leather robe looked strange, and his gaze shifted from Shen Ye to the old man.

The old man glared back: "What are you looking at?" You don't believe it? ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly waved his hand and twisted his head.

Shen Ye's heart moved, and he whispered to his father-in-law, "Do you know anything about the Gongshan tribe?" ”

The old man showed a disgusted expression on his face: "What are you mentioning them for?" ”

Shen Ye pondered for a moment and said, "I was on the road, and I heard that this rebellion in Yizhou was provoked by the Gongshan clan. ”

The old man opened his mouth wide and muttered, "No wonder." Then he muttered, "No, isn't the Gongshan clan driven to the east?" ”

Seeing that Shen Ye was still looking at him, the old man frowned and said: "My impression of the Gongshan tribe is still more than ten years ago, at that time, the strength of the Gongshan tribe was the strongest among the Baiyi tribes, plus their patriarch and elders were also extremely restless at that time, and gradually bred the ambition of expansion, and had the intention of conquering our Baiyi tribes, when the old man stayed in the tribe when he was young, our tribe was often violated by them, but later, the more powerful Baili tribe migrated here, and the two sides fought a big battle, The vitality of the Gongshan tribe was greatly damaged, and they were driven into the mountains and forests by the Baili clan, and they have not come out again for more than ten years. ”

The old man grinned and said worriedly: "The Gongshan tribe has always had a grudge against the Baili tribe, they have been dormant for so many years, if it is really their ghost, then this war will be fought for a long time." ”

When the old man said this, he was a little thirsty, and suddenly thought of his grandson who volunteered to find food, and he panicked: "Why hasn't Bo'er come back for so long?" ”

As if in response to his words, a crowd of men on horseback rushed from afar, shouting and screaming.

"Damn it, it's a bandit!"

"Oh no, why are we so unlucky?"

"Copy the guys, fight with them!"

No matter what kind of war, there will be some greedy people who gather together to do evil, turn into robbers, and plunder the people everywhere, such people are generally called bandits.

And for these lonely homeless people, the last thing they want to see at this moment is the bandits, because the bandits generally do not leave a living mouth after looting.

"Bo'er, Bo'er is in their hands!" The old man shouted in despair.

Only then did Shen Ye notice that the young man who had walked all the way with him was tied up with hemp rope at this time, lying on the back of one of the bandits.

This group of bandits circled around the pavilion a few times, looking at the people inside with a weapon, the bandits led by them felt a little tricky, and he shouted: "Hand over the money, grandpa will spare you from death!" ”

"Hand over the money!"

"Don't you die!"

The shouts of the bandits were particularly shocking to the whistling of the horses, and the thoughts of submission gradually arose in the hearts of the people in the pavilion.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Let's give you everything, let my child go. The old man trembled and got out of the donkey cart and shouted hoarsely at the bandits.

The bandit raised his hand, and the bandits restrained their horses when they saw this.

"Old man, who is this young man to you?"

"It's an old grandson."

"That's right." The bandit pinched his chin and looked at the donkey cart behind him and the package on the donkey cart, and said, "You take two hundred taels of silver out, and I will release you immediately!" ”

"Two hundred taels?!" The old man almost fainted, his old eyes were full of tears, and he begged: "The old man came out in a hurry this time, and the total belongings of the whole body are only fifty taels, can you be accommodating." ”

The bandit's face sank: "Accommodating? Do you think I'm a businessman? And bargain with me! Old man, let me tell you, this grandson of yours has spoken ill of me before, and I am already very merciful if I don't kill him, and if you can't hand over the money, you can watch him die! ”

As soon as he had finished speaking, the bandit leader glanced at his men, and when they saw this, they dragged the bound boy from his horse to the ground.

"Woohoo." The boy let out a cry of pain.

Only then did the old man realize that his grandson's mouth was blocked by bandits with sackcloth.

"Stop!" The people in the pavilion were a little overwhelmed.

"Two hundred taels, let's make up, you let this child go!"

The old man was overjoyed, knelt directly on the ground, and choked up: "Thank you." ”

"No way!" The bandit's playful voice sounded: "You like to be a good person, right, I changed my mind, I want a thousand taels!" ”

"You!" Everyone in the pavilion was furious, but they were helpless, how could the number of one thousand taels be made up by these people. At this time, they also understood that this gang of bandits didn't want to release people at all, they were just playing with their father-in-law for fun.

"How? Can't take it out? Then don't blame me for being rude! The bandit leader laughed, a cruel look in his eyes.

"I'll come."

At this moment, a voice sounded, and Shen Ye walked out from behind his father-in-law.
