The barbarians obviously did not expect their leader to be killed in one face, but none of them turned around and fled, and those who were already rushing on the road accelerated their pace and let out a howl in their mouths.

And the people standing in the back kept shooting arrows, pouring out their anger on Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu swung his sword lightly, and under the shroud of the sword, the flying arrows were all slashed.

He noticed that the barbarians, like their leaders, threw their throwing weapons before rushing up and slashing them.

Although this routine was very common, it reminded him of the pagan cultists he had met on the banks of the Ji River before, and he always felt that there was an inexplicable similarity between the two.

There is almost no suspense in the next battle, these barbarians are ordinary people, naturally they can't be his opponents, maybe the leader of these people has extraordinary strength, but he has been killed by him before he can use it.

It is worth mentioning that even if the battle was fought to the end, no one ran away knowing that he would die, but he still insisted on fighting him.

This undoubtedly shows that these barbarians are either believers with faith, or the forces behind them have high organizational power.

After the battle, Zhang Yu checked the corpses of these people and found that this generation had removed all the things that were easy to reveal their origins in advance, but judging from their weapons and the patterns on them, they actually had a bit of Yidi style.

That's kind of interesting.

He couldn't help but think of the gold plate he had picked up in the ruins outside Xiaoshan Town.

But no matter why these people attacked him, it is only right to return to Ruiguang first and report what happened to Xuanfu now.

At this time, after nearly three months, Ruiguang City finally ushered in rain again, injecting a stream of rain into the long-drought surface.

After Yu Yuyang left the school palace, he returned to his house on the western edge of the outer city.

Because this is far away from the school palace, he usually lives in the residence arranged by the school palace, and usually only comes back when it is the turn of Xiu Mu at the end of the month, but today's situation is a little special.

The furnishings in the house are simple, and there is almost nothing left except for the necessary daily necessities.

He is just from an ordinary family, he was raised by his brother since he was a child, and even the tuition fees are from the school, and his usual life is to save as much as he can.

When he returned, he went to the stove to make a fire, and then cooked rice and boiled water.

When everything was done, he went back to the front yard of the house, and sat down in front of an old wooden table, and because of the heavy rain it was dark, he had to light an oil lamp, but he took a book out of his tightly wrapped leather bag, and read it earnestly.

After watching for a long time, listening to a creaking sound, a man dressed in rain lily pushed open the door, and took off his hat and coat under the eaves of the porch outside the door, this is an ordinary middle-aged man.

He hung up his clothes outside, shook off the rain, and walked in.

Yu Yuyang handed over a handkerchief and said, "Big brother, give it." ”

The middle-aged man took it, wiped his face, and asked, "Why did you come back today?"

Yu Yuyang said: "Big brother, I will heat a bowl of hot soup for you, and I will talk to you later." So saying, he went to the kitchen and brought out a bowl of soup.

The middle-aged man took a sip and said, "Ginger is too much." ”

Yu Yuyang touched his head and said, "The younger brother wants to give the eldest brother some cold." ”

The middle-aged man said, "With my thick body, what kind of cold do I need?" He drank it in one gulp, leaving no water stains, and wiped his hands with a towel.

"Say, what's the matter, is someone bullying you in the school palace?" When he said this, his expression was very normal, but his eyes were inadvertently glowing with a cold light.

Yu Yuyang shook his head and said: "No, what's the matter, my classmates treat me very well, but I may have to leave for Changyuan tomorrow." ”

"Changyuan?" the middle-aged man frowned and said, "There are only barbarians and barbarians there, what are you going to do in that place?"

Yu Mingyang said: "I don't know the specifics, it seems that the son of the previous school palace sacrificial wine went there to appease the natives, and there was a little problem in the middle, and the people didn't answer there, so the school palace let us students who also know the tribal language go with the palace teacher to find out what happened." ”

The middle-aged man's brows tightened and he said, "The barbarian is unreasonable. There are so many people in the school palace, why do you have to go? What are those high-ranking officials and dignitaries doing at this time?"

Yu Yuyang said: "Don't worry, big brother, a few classmates will go with me, and there will be nothing wrong with me." As he spoke, he showed sincerity and seriousness on his face, and said, "Brother, the younger brother is learning the indigenous language, and sooner or later he will have to experience this time." ”

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, took off an ornament from his wrist, handed it to Yu Mingyang, and said, "This is the Huli wood pendant you gave me last time, it is very useful, there are more snakes, ants and poisonous insects on the open plain, you go and bring it this time." Seeing that Yu Yuyang didn't move, he raised his hand again, "Take it." ”

Yu Yuyang took it and said, "Thank you, big brother." ”

The middle-aged man suddenly said at this time: "Where did you go to that nice gentleman you said last time?"

"Brother mean Mr. Zhang?"

Yu Mingyang showed indignation and said: "It would be good if Mr. Zhang was here, our indigenous language was taught by Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Zhang should have gone to communicate with that indigenous tribe this time, but I heard that Mr. was excluded by some people in the school palace, so he couldn't go." ”

The middle-aged man snorted and said, "None of these people sitting high on it in the Duhu Mansion are good things, and the good people have all been framed by them!"

He stood up, "You study hard, I'll go out once." ”

Yu Yuyang didn't ask much, only said, "Brother just came back, don't you go out after eating something?"

"I'll eat outside, I'll go back when I go, and if you're hungry, eat first." ”

The middle-aged man pushed open the door, put on his coat and hat again, and walked into the rain.

He came to the back door of a small grocery store on the corner of the street, and there was a short old man mending his shoes inside, and when he saw him coming, he looked left and right, and immediately pulled him in, closed the door, and said in a low voice: "Lao Yu, what are you doing at this time?

The middle-aged man said: "Give me this month's monthly salary first." ”

The short old man immediately shook his head and said, "This is not in accordance with the rules. ”

The middle-aged man said: "If you need it urgently, you can say whether to give it or not." ”

The short old man looked up at him and said, "Wait." He went to the back room, and after a while, he took out a package, handed it to him with both hands, and said, "Remember, take the money and burn the rest." ”

The middle-aged man took the package without saying a word, put it in his hand, pushed the door and turned around to leave, and soon returned home.

He first went back to the inner room, counted out fifteen gold dollars from the inside, put the package away, came to Yu Mingyang's place, put the money on the table, and said, "Take these with you on the road, you can use them." ”

Yu Yuyang looked at it and said, "Brother, I'm afraid I don't need these things there, so you might as well keep them for yourself." In fact, he thought that instead of bringing this thing, it would be better to buy some salt bricks and tea leaves.

The middle-aged man insisted: "If you take it, you can take it, the barbarians don't need it, your Shangguan and teachers can use it, don't save me for me, just spend it." ”

Yu Yuyang took the gold yuan and said, "Brother Xie." ”

"My own brother, what do you say thank you for? The middle-aged man stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to stroke his head, but halfway through, he pinched it and put it down, and said, "Since you are going on the road tomorrow, remember to rest early." So saying, he went out.

Yu Yuyang responded, and stood up and said, "Brother Anxin, the little brother will definitely come back safely." ”

At the same time, An Chu'er was also preparing in her residence in the palace.

This time, not only her, but also a few students who are good at learning the language of the Jianclaw tribe will also go to Changyuan together, but she can see that all the students sent this time have no background, which is obviously because the school palace is worried that this trip is dangerous.

Although she is good at language, she has no experience in talking to the Strongclaw tribe so far, and she feels a little nervous in her heart.

"If only the gentleman were here. ”

It's just that she heard Yang Ying say that her husband has something to do and is going on a long trip, and I'm afraid he won't come back in the near future.

She took out the booklet that Zhang Yu had given her, and read it slowly under the lamp, although she had read it many times and was able to memorize it, she still wanted to read it again before she traveled, as if it would give her more confidence.

At this time, in the Zhan Mansion, Zhan Gong sat on the chair with an expressionless face and asked the visitor, "What's going on?"

Sitting opposite him was a school palace scholar in his fifties, and he said: "Zhan Gong rest assured, people are here, and those barbarians of the Jianclaw tribe do not prohibit people from visiting, but it is difficult to communicate verbally, so I don't know why I detained people for them." ”

Zhan Gong said indifferently: "Don't you let those students be responsible for communication, let them get on the road faster." ”

The scholar said: "It has been arranged, but in this matter, the students can only help Zhan Gong, after all, those people are Zhang Fujiao's students, that is, when he is not there, we can take a time." ”

Zhan Gong said coldly: "I understand the rules of the school palace, a few students with no background, it's not so difficult, now I just need to figure out what the matter is, and my son must not have an accident." As he spoke, he paused with his cane.

But at this moment, a servant hurriedly ran in and said, "Zhan Gong, Mr. Wan Qi, it's not good, just now there is news that those barbarian tribes are moving up the river and moving north, and the people we sent to visit Shaolang have not been heard from." ”

"What?" Zhan Gong stood up suddenly, but he got up too quickly, but he was dizzy.

The scholar hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said, "Zhan Gong is not in a hurry, Brother Zhan Shi is fluent in all words and has a noble bearing, so it must be okay to think about it." ”

Zhan Gong pushed him away, took a few breaths, held the cane with one hand, pointed to the outside with the other, and said: "Needless to say, these useless words need to be said, this person in Liugongfu has always only recognized the results, those barbarians must be appeased, don't wait, you can arrange for those students to go on the road now, and rush there as soon as possible!"
