Everything sprouts in a new state in spring, and the river on the side of the road only has a little shadow of Jiangnan at this time, and wild ducks play on the water, flapping their wings, fluttering out patches of water, and calling twice from time to time. Frogs leap on duckweed, swallows nest in willow trees by the river, grass spreads over the mountains, and birch trees sprout new tender leaf buds. The air also seemed to become warm, and the spring breeze blew on the face warmly, without a trace of coolness.

Fortunately, the folk customs of Youyan are closer to the Khitans, and it is not only Yang Zhi and others who are so carried away on the avenue, almost one-third of the people are like this, the high-rollers in the rivers and lakes, the athletes in the army, etc., completely ignore the white magnolia, pink peach blossoms, bright red apricot blossoms, and brilliant spring flowers on the side of the road.

The soldiers at the sentry post in front seemed to be in a commotion, and they were having a dispute with three guys who looked like characters in the rivers and lakes, and the people on the side who were not annoying and coaxing kept lighting the fire: "What's wrong with the characters in the rivers and lakes, they can still be bigger than the officials! Yes, you can't put down the weapons in your hands!"

Yang Zhi restrained the horse, the front of the people was moving, and the road was blocked to death; Yelulei swaggered forward, and the two accompanying masters did not hesitate to use their horsewhips to open the crowd watching the excitement, and shouted loudly: "What is the situation, robbing the road here in broad daylight...... Fuck off, who's your fucking own?"

A businessman who came up to stammer was directly whipped to the side, successfully attracting the attention of both sides of the dispute, and the leader of the Liao army at the checkpoint saw Yelulei's iconic figure, and his heart was overjoyed; Yelulei was an official with a loose official position, and he was familiar with the checkpoints along the way, so that the leader felt that reinforcements had come, and shouted: "General Yelu, there are three unknown people here." ”

Unknown people, Yang Zhi can only sigh at the spread of culture, in the Great Song Dynasty, the same is true for the characters in the rivers and lakes, when you meet someone with no background, you will arrest it, and if you meet a strong person, you will say a misunderstanding. Yelulei's mount squeezed to the sentry post and said, "It's almost enough, Lao Tzu has to hurry today." ”

The three Jianghu characters were originally a little nervous, but when they heard Ye Lulei say this, they suddenly relaxed a lot, and straightened their waists: "Friend, have a vision, our Mo Nan Sanying likes to make friends in the rivers and lakes the most, let's get a name." ”

Ye Lulei smiled and said: "What I have is a friend, there is no need for three more people, you pay the money and leave quickly according to the custom, no."

It is necessary to block the official road. ”

Mo Nan Sanying is in his thirties, burly, and his mounts are all good horses, seeing that Yelulei doesn't intend to give face at all, he sank his face in a blink of an eye, reined in the horse's head and said, "Are you impatient?"

Yelulei laughed angrily, and his mouth was unforgiving: "Three good horses carry three bastards, it's really a blind good beast." ”

Yang Zhi looked at the sky, decided to make a quick decision, stepped forward to stand side by side with Yelulei, and asked the leader of the Liao army: "How much money did they have to pay in the past?"

"One tael of silver for one person, a total of three taels of silver. Yang Zhi nodded and asked, "What should I do if I don't pay the money?"

"Arrest people, if you encounter resistance, there is no mercy. ”

Mo Nan Sanying became angry when he heard it, and scolded loudly: "I don't want to live anymore, Lao Tzu has come all the way from the desert, and he hasn't paid the money yet." ”

Yang Zhi looked up at Mo Nan Sanying, and said coldly: "Give you one last chance, pay the money and leave immediately." ”

The onlookers saw that Yang Zhi and the others were not dealing with Mo Nan Sanying, and felt an ominous aura, and they all took the initiative to disperse far away, so as not to cause the fire at the city gate to affect the pond fish; Mo Nan Sanying looked at Yang Zhi, and one of the big men with a leopard carved on his neck said indifferently: "Where did a crow run out, Lao Tzu just didn't hand it over, how can you ......?"

Yang Zhi and Ye Lulei sighed at the same time, and the person who spoke dismounted before he finished speaking, his eyes protruding like dead fish, and his throat made a faint moan that was so weak that he couldn't hear it, and a swallow dart was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't live when he saw it. The two companions beside him were stunned for a moment, and they didn't have time to react at all, Yang Zhi's Dragon Sparrow Knife flashed in the air, and they were both stabbed in the chest, screaming and falling to the ground.

When everyone saw it clearly, Yang Zhi was already sitting on the horse, the dragon bird knife was still on his waist, and it seemed that he had never moved; the civet jumped off the horse behind Yang Zhi, searched the silver taels on the three people, and there were more than 200 taels of silver and more than a dozen gold leaves, and directly handed over more than 30 taels of silver to the leader of the Liao army, and the rest were all carried into his arms. Yelulei's two bodyguards led three good horses, and the leader of the Liao army took the silver and asked Yelulei in a daze: "General Yelu, how can I talk to the above?"

Ye Lulei smiled and said: "They are murderers, they deserve to be like this, you can report my name, and you can also report Yang Zhi, the Jizhou Pavilion Master of Yanyun Palace." ”

"Yang Zhi, the one who broke gold in Xianzhou, Yang Zhi who broke into Liaoyang alone. The eyes of the leader of the Liao army were full of reverence, and Yang Zhi smiled and raised his horsewhip and said, "Hurry up and clear the road, we still have something to do." ”

There was no need to order, except for the carriages lined up in a long line, the others flashed to both sides, leaving a road that could be passed, Yang Zhi took the lead, and six people and nine horses rushed over directly. Order was restored on the official road, the long procession on both sides began to move forward, the Liao soldiers at the checkpoint skillfully threw the three corpses on the grass on the side, cut off the heads of Mo Nan Sanying, and prepared to go back to receive the merits; the money and horses had been taken away by Yang Zhi's men, and what the Liao soldiers valued was weapons, all of which were made of good steel, and they could still be sold for a few bucks when they were brought to the county seat.

Ye Lulei endured the bumps of the war horse and said: "Yang Zhi, is it worth it, you are in such a hurry, you didn't want people to know your movements, why don't you care now, and kill people publicly." ”

"That's because of you, I killed someone, but I didn't report my name, you said it for me. Yang Zhi said lightly: "You are worried that you will suffer if you go out with me, so you always want to let people know your whereabouts, even if there is no such thing, you still find an opportunity to tell my name." ”

Yelulei laughed and said: "Yang Zhi, I really didn't hide it from you, it seems that I am too fat now, my brain is too lazy to move, I want to say whatever I want, when this time is done, I must start losing weight." ”

"Weight loss, good idea. Yang Zhi smiled and said, "Why wait for the operation to end, you might as well start with today's dinner, and when I meet Yelu Dashi, I will tell him the good news." ”
