That night, Zhang Pu and Wan Jianfeng found an inn to stay at, and the next morning, the two hired a carriage and went straight to Yinzhou. Along the way, Wan Jianfeng was lying on the roof of the car, enjoying the scenery along the way, while constantly tasting the wine along the way.

Unconsciously, the surrounding scenery slowly changed from green waters and green mountains to an endless Loess Plateau, and from time to time there were snowflakes falling, which became more and more desolate. Wan Jianfeng was lying on the carriage, his mind was full of the taste of mutton ramen and Liangzhou wine, and he was unaware of the increasingly cold climate.

After a long journey of more than a month, the carriage finally approached Yinzhou, and it only took a few more days to travel west to reach Xiazhou. When Wan Jianfeng first came to Yinzhou, he looked around curiously, only to see that the city wall here was made of loess, and there were countless soldiers in the uniform of the Great Song Dynasty standing at the gate of the city, all holding spears in their hands, and there was a feeling of being ready for battle.

Wan Jianfeng curiously lay on the side of the carriage, poked his head into the curtain, and asked Zhang Pu: "Brother Zhang, are you mistaken!" Although the Dingyan Army is attached to the Great Song Dynasty, it is still regarded as a side of the party clan, why is there no party item in front of the city gate, all of them are the officials and troops of the Great Song Dynasty? Could it be that your Great Leader Li has already sacrificed the land of the Five Prefectures and completely surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Zhang Pu frowned, silent, and had a feeling on his face as if he was facing a great enemy. Suddenly, they heard a jumble of footsteps, accompanied by the sound of rolling wheels. This kind of voice said that it was the army going out, it was too chaotic, it was a happy event for the people in the city, and the battle was too big, Wan Jianfeng had a thought in his heart at this time - the people in the city were moving under the command of the Song army.

Sure enough, a large group of gorgeously dressed party members, under the command of the Song army, walked out of Yinzhou in a very chaotic manner and marched slowly to the southeast. The crowd was in different shapes, some of them had joy on their faces, some of them had sad faces, and some even hugged the gate of Yinzhou and cried, like a mourner.

This situation is not to say that Wan Jianfeng was confused, and even Zhang Pu, who grew up in Yinzhou since childhood, was dumbfounded. But both of them knew one thing in their hearts, that is, there must have been a earth-shaking event in the Dingyan Army and even the entire Yinzhou, and the Dangxiang clan was facing a moment of danger that had not been encountered in a century.

Zhang Pu hurriedly asked the coachman to stop the car, then lifted the curtain and quickly got out of the carriage. While quickly looking at every familiar or unfamiliar face in the crowd, he tried his best to swim upstream, squeezing into Yinzhou City, which was overcrowded with people and vehicles. Wan Jianfeng also turned around, jumped out of the carriage, and followed Zhang Pu towards the city.

The two of them squeezed into the city gate with great effort, and went straight to the center of the street, Zhang Pu said: "Wan Shaoxia, there are some important things that I am in a hurry to do, and I will ask Your Excellency to be here for a while." ”

Wan Jianfeng smiled and said, "Something important? Isn't it crowded, the money bag with him was touched, and he fell into a breeze with his sleeves, and he didn't have the money to invite Ben Shaoxia to drink, so he wanted to smear oil on the soles of his feet - let's slip away! ”

Zhang Pu shook his head and said with a straight face: "Shaoxia, now that the party is in trouble, I really don't have time to joke with you, I hope you will forgive me!" He said and saluted Wan Jianfeng, and then walked away quickly.

Wan Jianfeng saw Zhang Pu leaving, and glanced at his back a few times with some resentment, and was about to say a few words casually. Suddenly, he heard a commotion not far away, as if someone was arguing in the street, and he was curious, so he couldn't help but walk over. After walking for three or four feet, I turned a street corner, and I saw a party member Qingnian stopped in front of a carriage, pointing at the carriage, "Hey, I said!" You old thing, some time ago, I borrowed a full twenty taels of snowflake silver from your bastard, and now you are quietly dragging your family and leaving with a set of cars, because you want to repay the bill! ”

At this moment, an old man with gray hair was sitting in front of the car, holding a horsewhip in his hand, and behind him sat a woman and two young children. A family of four looks like honest people, if you want to say that those two young children can manage such a fierce-looking and burly young man to borrow twenty taels of silver, even if he kills Wan Jianfeng, he will never believe it.

The old man seemed to be very afraid of this young man, and said again and again: "This little brother, Xiao Lao'er is a tenant of the big chief's family, and now that the big leader is gone, Xiao Lao'er has no choice but to leave Yinzhou with his family, not to avoid debts and go away." Besides, there are only these two unsuccessful guys under the knees of the little old man, the eldest is only seven years old this year, and the younger one is only three years old, how can I borrow those twenty taels of silver from you? ”

The young man pursed his mouth, pointed at the older child, and said, "I'm not mistaken, it was this little rabbit cub who took care of the money I borrowed the day before yesterday, and he can still wronged you, an old thing!" Hurry up, get the money back, and I'll let you go, or don't blame me for leaving this little rabbit cub to pay off the debt! ”

"You bastard, why did you borrow so many taels of silver behind my back, and you still don't apologize to this little brother!" The old man said with a straight face, turned his head and glared at the eldest son, and then turned around and said, "I'm really sorry, the little old man has no way to teach his son, which caused the dog to make a big mistake!" I also hope that the little brother will look at the face of the little old man, let us go for the time being, and we will be returned twice in the future! ”

Unexpectedly, the old man's words fell, but the child couldn't stand the grievances, and shouted: "Dad, I didn't!" I don't know this guy at all, his twenty taels of silver are gone, what's the matter with our family, why should I apologize to him! He's just a prank, a scoundrel, and a pickle, so I won't apologize to him! ”

When the old man heard this, his heart trembled suddenly, and he had the intention to teach his son a lesson on the street, but he was afraid that the man would take the opportunity to make trouble, and turn twenty taels into forty taels, and forty taels into eighty taels, as if it would be more and more out of the way. However, the light year finally caught the handle and said loudly: "Old thing, for the sake of our fellow countrymen, I am embarrassed to care about you asking for interest." But your son disregards his feelings and scolds me on the street for being a prankster, a scoundrel, and a pickle, it seems that we really need to calculate this interest! ”

The woman glanced at her ignorant child, sighed, took out a very poor bracelet from her bosom, walked up to the young man, held the bracelet in both hands and handed it over, "This little brother, we are poor people, and we really don't have so much money!" The only thing we have on us is this jade bracelet, if you don't dislike it, just ...... Just take it. ”

The young man looked at the bracelet, his mouth almost reaching the back of his head, "Hmph! What kind of, too, is used for trouble! It's such a broken thing, it's not enough to even pay back the interest, and I want to let me raise my noble hand and let you leave Yinzhou, dreaming! As he spoke, he took the bracelet and threw it out of the street.

How could the jade bracelet withstand such a sharp fall, it only made a crisp sound when it landed, and it was immediately shattered. Although this bracelet is of very poor condition, it is the only valuable bride price when the woman gets married. For so many years, the woman was reluctant to take it with her, but now she was easily broken by the splashing skin, and she almost fainted in front of her.

The old man hurriedly hugged his wife, pointed to the splash and said, "You ...... this jade bracelet If you don't want to forget it, why bother dropping it! Now that we have all the valuable things on us, if you want to blackmail again, we are not afraid of you! ”

Splashy sneered a few times and said, "A broken bracelet, I will fall if I fall!" Why, with your old arms and legs, do you still want to fight with me? If you have the ability, you can knock Lao Tzu down with one punch, and it is the grandson who can't beat him! ”

Seeing that this splash was becoming more and more presumptuous, the old man was so angry that his whole body trembled, and he couldn't bear it anymore and hit the old fist straight to the chest. Unexpectedly, the old man really dared to make a move, and he flashed to the side, and then pushed the old man on his back and turned over. "Eh! Hit someone! The old man fell to the ground and groaned, only to feel that his back was about to break.

Splashy stepped a few steps and was about to hit with his fist, but the woman hurriedly grabbed his arm and did not teach him to fall with his fist. The older child finally couldn't sit still, ran to Splashy in three steps and two steps, grabbed Splashy's thigh with a pair of small hands, and opened his mouth to bite Splashy's thigh. The three-year-old child was frightened by the sight and sat alone in the car crying.

"Are you going to seek death?" Splashing skin showed a fierce light, and with a flick of his arm, he easily broke free from the old woman's restraints, and hit the head of the child in front of him with a fist. His punch was fast and ruthless, not to mention that a six- or seven-year-old child, even an adult who doesn't know martial arts, would be seriously injured if he didn't die if he received such a punch on the top of his head. At this moment, many people in the city were attracted by the noise, pointing around the carriage, filled with righteous indignation. Rao is Wan Jianfeng has never cared about other people's affairs, and when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but take a few steps forward to teach this splash a lesson.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the crowd, and a middle-aged man with a kind face and gray hair walked into the crowd. He was dressed in civilian clothes, carrying a sword at his waist, leading a brown military horse in one hand and an innocent and lively child in the other. When the onlookers saw the old man, they all breathed a sigh of relief and made way for him. The splash also restrained his ferocity, and took a few steps back in fear.

The middle-aged man approached, pointed to the ploppy and said: "Ran Niu, you rely on your strong body and don't do your job, and you specialize in bullying the good in Yinzhou, not for a day or two!" In the past, the big leader ignored you, and Yue Mou was not easy to make a move, but now that the big leader is gone, there is no owner in Yinzhou City, and you are becoming more and more unscrupulous, which is really hateful! If you really have the ability, you dare to compete with Yue! ”

The kid beside him also helped: "Yes, although Daddy's martial arts are not as good as Uncle Li's, it is more than enough to teach a scoundrel like you a lesson!" How about it, dare you compare with my father! ”

Ran Niu clenched his fists, and had the heart to compete with this middle-aged man, but he knew that he was by no means his opponent, so he spoke after a while: "Lord Yue, my Ran Niu is also from a poor family, my father and mother died early, and I have no strength but no ability. Go to be a man, people think I'm coarse, go to be a craftsman, people think I'm powerful, you say I don't oppress honest people, how can I live, I can't starve to death! ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said: "Now the land of Wuzhou is an eventful time, if you have the heart to change your evil and return to the right, it is better to follow me to see Jiqian Gongzi, maybe he will be useful to you." ”

When Ran Niu heard this, he smiled, "You...... What you say is true! Let me Ranniu go and follow the son of Jiqian, that's great! I don't have a home, I don't have a job, it's very light, let's go! ”

The middle-aged man said: "You dropped someone's jade bracelet, beat someone's husband, and you want to leave without compensating others?" ”

Ran Niu hesitated and helped the old man on the ground up, touched it in his arms for a long time, and found a piece of gold coin the size of a little finger, and stuffed it into the old man's hand in distress, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Fang is my Ran Niu bastard, I offended the old man, this gold should be apologized!" ”

The old man took the gold, wanted to collect it but didn't dare, and looked at Ran Niu in a daze, not knowing what to say. The old man surnamed Yue smiled and said quite kindly: "Old brother, Yue Chun, the commander in Xiayinzhou, has given you a salute!" You don't have to take this gold bill, it's a long way to Tokyo, and it's good to make a coil on the road. As for this splash, Yue Mou should take him to the son of Jiqian to be a driving place, and never let him be a disaster again! ”

"Thank you, Lord Yue! Thank you, Lord Yue! The old man hurriedly pulled his family to kneel in front of Yue Chun and kowtowed to thank him. Yue Chun was not polite, and picked up the old man from the ground with both hands, "Old brother doesn't have to be like this, let's take the family out of the city quickly!" ”

The old man nodded, took a deep look again, and drove the carriage away from Yinzhou with his wife and children. Yue Chun was about to leave with Ran Niu, when he suddenly saw a light man walking over slowly. But seeing that this person is dressed as a Han family, he is tall and mighty, the two sword eyebrows are like paint brushes, a pair of tiger eyes are not angry and self-threatening, the long hair like a black waterfall pours down through the headband, and the two strands of green silk float down the sideburns, and the whole person is domineering in the mighty, and the majesty is not lost in the gentleness.

Yue Chungui is the commander, and he has a good martial arts, and when he sees this person, he can't help but smile and clench his fists, "Brother Xian, why are you here." It's only been a few days, how can I lose weight? When the foolish brother takes this splash of leather to meet the step-moving son, we will go home together and ask your sister-in-law to cook a few good dishes for your good life and make up for you! ”

The child also opened his hands when he saw the comer, and ran over with a smile, "Uncle Li! Uncle Lee! I have already practiced the swordsmanship you taught me last time, when will you go home and teach me the next move! ”

"When the younger brother heard about the commotion here, he thought that there must be a dispute, so he wanted to take care of it. Now that the brother-in-law has stopped cooking, there is no need for the younger brother to take action. The light man smiled and touched the child's head again, reached out to take the reins held by Yue Chun, and led the horse and the two out of the crowd.

Ran Niu, Yue Chun and others spoke Chinese, and Wan Jianfeng understood it, but later the young man spoke fluent party dialect, and Wan Jianfeng was confused. He was curious, pulled the sleeve of the shirt that was watching the excitement next to him, and asked, "Hey, who did I say this young man!" Ben Shaoxia saw that he was young, and he actually called him a brother and a brother to the dignified commander, and looking at the appearance of this Lord Yue, it seems that this person's official position is higher than this Lord Yue? ”

The middle-aged man who was pulled by his sleeve flicked his sleeve in disgust, and said impatiently: "You ask him?" His name is Li Ruoyun, he is a friend of Jiqian's son, I heard that the two grew up together! You want to eat Hanako, and you deserve to inquire about him, don't you still want to go to his house to ask for food! ”

"Li Ruoyun." Wan Jianfeng muttered softly, looking at the direction where Li Ruoyun was going, slightly distracted. Unconsciously, Zhang Pu had come to the front with a young man dressed in black, with a tall figure, a handsome face, and a knife at his waist, "Wan Shaoxia, what's wrong with you?" But waiting, waiting? ”
