"Is it possible to see the situation?"

"Well, it should be two people. There are a lot of people, but there must be twenty or thirty people. ”

"Have you seen anything you've seen today?"

"Hmm...... No. ”

After briefly understanding the situation at the lower distance, Jiang Yichen stopped talking.

Ever since he heard the sound of the fight, he felt faintly uneasy.

On the way, they met ten teams of men and horses.

Seven groups went north, and three groups went south, bringing together a total of 49 people.

According to his request, Chu Shan described to him in detail the general signs and outfits of these horses and made a note of them one by one.

So far, it has only been a few hours, and Chu Shangu naturally still knows it by heart, and what he sees will not go wrong.

If you can be sure that these people did not just come from the south, it can only mean that they came from the north.

In the current situation, Jiang Yichen categorically does not think that the two sides are fighting here is just a coincidence.

What he is worried about is how much is involved between these two and the father and daughter of the Niu family?

Combined with the information he received from Pinghai County, he deduced that the father and daughter of the Niu family should arrive in Baiju Town as soon as tomorrow afternoon.

So he still has half a day to make some other preparations.

But this inference is not entirely solid.

Because he ruled out the possibility of the Niu family's father and daughter rushing in the starry night.

Of course, he couldn't find a reason why the father and daughter of the Niu family would go through the starry night.

After all, under the premise that the whereabouts have been exposed, the road ahead is long and obstructive, and it is not wise to blindly seek speed.

Before he could figure out the key, he had already heard Chu Shangu say: "According to what the shopkeeper said, the Qili kiln is not a small place, although it has been abandoned for a while, but it is not a problem to shelter from the wind and rain, do you think they will come to the ambush in advance and fight for a critical position, so they will fight?"

Chu Shangu just lacks experience in the rivers and lakes, but after living a long time, his brain is not slow, and he is already decent when he learns to write and analyze.

"Reasonable. ”

Jiang Yichen affirmed Chu Shangu's inference, or he was more willing to believe the facts, just as Chu Shangu said.

"Is this, fighting?"

Zhang Lao Er packed up all the valuable things and walked out of the small cabin, but saw Liang and Chu sitting still as if they were talking about something, and soon noticed the sound of fighting from the direction of Qili Kiln.

"Brother Zhang, sit down, let's wait for a while, see the situation and then leave." ”

"Hey, okay. ”

Zhang Lao Er had already noticed that the atmosphere in the room was a little solemn, but if Brother Liang didn't take the initiative to ask, he didn't want him to get involved, so he sat back in the chair and stayed honestly as he said.

Hearing the sound of the fight in the distance, it became a little clearer, Jiang Yichen said, "Brother Chu, let's talk about the battle situation." ”

Chu Shan replied alone, squinting slightly and observing carefully.

"These two groups, the less crowded side, are, two, four, eight...... Eight people. ”

"There are more than 20 people. ”

"Among the eight people, two are more fierce, three are slightly modest, and the remaining three are even more inferior. ”

"However, although there are few people, their personal combat power is much stronger than that of the more people, at least the three mediocre ones can be one of the top two. ”

"The problem is that the more than 20 people are not scattered, they have clear tactics, and it seems that there is a clear division of labor, and the advance and retreat are orderly, just like the whole. ”

"Although those eight people were strong, they could not take advantage of them, but they were defeated and retreated under the siege. ”

"Well, that's not right, looking at the trend, the twenty or so people should want to surround and annihilate the eight people, but the more fierce two rushed left and right, constantly destroying the other party's encirclement. ”

But the strength of the two men was a little lacking after all, and the eight had to retreat and disperse to lengthen the battle line, so as not to be surrounded prematurely. ”

"And the direction of their retreat is exactly where we are. ”

After Chu Shangu finished telling the general battle situation, Jiang Yichen said, "What do you think?"

Being asked for such no reason, Chu Shan was stunned for a long time, and said, "Brother Liang, what does this mean?"

Then he said generously: "I, Chu, am not so mercenary, a person who eats soft and is afraid of hard, if you think you want to save it, Brother Liang, we will save it." ”

Jiang Yichen couldn't react to this answer.

Profit-seeking, eating soft and afraid of hard, what does it mean?

Jiang Yichen corrected: "I mean, Brother Chu, how do you judge the situation?"

Chu Shan said, "Oh, I misunderstood. In my opinion, if there are no variables, those eight people will have to give their lives here sooner or later. ”

He added: "A few people have seen a lot of blood on their bodies, and I am afraid that there are about 30 people on the other side before, and after a hard fight, they are already a little exhausted." ”

Jiang Yichen said: "Brother Chu said he wanted to save them, but save them?"

Chu Shan said: "That's natural, those who bully more and less are all girls!"

Speaking of this, Chu Shangu's temperament came up, clapped his hands on the table, and asked, "Can you save it?!"

Jiang Yichen shook his head and said, "If I don't have to, I don't want to make extraneous branches." Let's wait and see what happens. ”

Chu Shangu's face sank, he turned his head and continued to stare at the distance, muttering in his mouth: "What a girl!"

After a few back and forth, Zhang Laoer, who had been silent, heard that the two of Liang and Chu were not familiar with each other, and the identity of this little brother Liang was still a little complicated, and the surname "Liang" was just changed the mantra of this Chu brother and used it to call.

Jiang Yichen asked again: "Now it is possible to see clearly what kind of outfit the two sides are, and what kind of weapons are they playing?"

Losing his temper and losing his temper, he still has to do it, Chu Shangu replied: "Those eight people seem to be dressed as vendors, and the more than twenty people are all dressed in black and masked. ”

Jiang Yichen raised his cheeks and groaned: "Traders, they only came out of the town at this time, and they were in a hurry, but they could also get to Caoyan Town before dark." ”

Chu Shangu seemed to have guessed what Jiang Yichen was going to say next, and hurriedly continued: "It's okay for ordinary traders to say, eight traders know martial arts, and they don't believe it if they are not people from the rivers and lakes in disguise." ”

"Disguise yourself to cover your tracks, but why hide your tracks?"

"The blades used by the twenty or so men are a little strange. Now you can count it, twenty-three. ”

"What's this weird method?"

"There are four meteor hammers, a combination of long whips, and something that looks like a multi-bladed scythe between the opening and closing of an umbrella, all of which are so rare that I can't describe them for a while. It's still simpler for the eight guys in their hands, six with swords, one with double stabs, and one with a dagger. ”

After a long paragraph, Jiang Yichen only listened to the first half of the sentence and wandered out of the world.

He had already heard the identities of the more than 20 people, and he had inquired about what happened on the night of the Hundred Flowers Conference after he got out of the valley, counting the time when he intercepted and killed Buji Island, this should be regarded as the third appearance of "that group", right?

After all, someone from the court came.

So who are those eight people?

Chu Shan suddenly said strangely: "Hey, it just seems that the thunder halberd has risen out of thin air?"

Rubbing his eyes, he looked at Zhang Lao Er with a puzzled expression.

Seeing this, Zhang Lao Er nodded again and again, and affirmed: "Well, Brother Chu is not mistaken, he started the thunder halberd out of thin air." However, looking at the sky, it seems that it is going to rain too. ”

Chu Shangu raised his head when he heard this, and it was really not bad, but the sky just became dark, and he became gloomy in the blink of an eye.

"Tsk, can that person still call the wind and the rain?"

"I don't think so. The thunder halberd did not come down from the sky, nor did it thunder. ”

"Yes, yes, there is a thunder halberd again, hey, and the fire snake and the ice pick, is that man a trick? so many tricks?"

"It's not clear. ”

The more he chatted with Zhang Laoer, the more excited he became, but seeing that Jiang Yichen didn't say a word, Chu Shangu frowned and said: "According to my observation, within a single stick of incense, they are afraid that they will retreat to us, and at that time, these eight people may have to lose three or two people." To save or not to save, make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Jiang Yichen said: "I didn't stop you." ”

"You ——"

Chu Shan was lonely for a while, and was about to get up to save people, but saw Jiang Yichen groping out some silver tickets from his arms.

I can't help but wonder, what is this?

I saw Jiang Yichen pulling the stunned Zhang Lao Er to the side of the horse, and then stuffed those silver tickets to the other party.

"Brother Zhang, I'm afraid I won't be able to bother you at home tonight. ”

"You take these silver tickets, lead a horse away, and stay in Caoyan Town for a night at night, and help the little brother bring a message by the way. ”

"Tomorrow morning, you can send a message to your sister-in-law through the official post post to say goodbye. ”

"After tomorrow, there will be no need to run this tea house anymore. ”

"You said that you want to make your sister-in-law more comfortable, how can you let her be alone at home all day without a companion, and even worry about your safety?"

"Take my sister-in-law to the north, to see the prosperity of Youjing, if you want to find a place to enjoy your old age, I think Jinzhou City should be good. ”

"Trade is well developed there, and you have a place to use it, brother. ”

After that, Jiang Yichen had already helped Zhang Lao Er on the horse, carefully explained how to help him convey the information here, and then gave his leave.

Feeling the firm force coming from his hand, Zhang Lao Er couldn't speak the whole time, and let the tears flow.

In the end, the "Liang brothers" who could only be related to this side on the way to the road were cherished from afar.

"Three thousand taels is not a problem for ordinary people to use for ten years and eight years, but you are generous. ”

Seeing Zhang Lao Er walking away, Chu Shan said alone.

Jiang Yichen didn't say anything, but he was glad that he had unceremoniously scavenged the silver taels on the dead in the valley at that time, and now he could squander them so generously.

Chu Shangu asked again: "It's okay to Youjing, how can you be sure that Jinzhou City is not afraid of war?"

Over the years, Jiang Yichen has learned a lot about the foreign disasters that occurred in the year he was born, but after all, it is the tip of the iceberg, and he is even more unfamiliar with Jinzhou City, but the father and daughter of the Niu family "escaped" from Jinzhou City.

But he didn't bother to explain too much to Chu Shangu, so he said "I don't know".

Chu Shan gasped in his lonely nose and said, "The people here are sent away, can the people over there be saved?"

Jiang Yichen smiled: "I said, I won't stop you, and no one can stop you now." ”

Chu Shan reprimanded: "It's a shame that someone in my Chu thinks so highly of you, I didn't think you would be so timid, what a!"

Chu Shangu had already raised his knife as he spoke, and at the moment when he was about to walk out of the tea house, he turned around and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

Jiang Yichen pointed to the sky and said, "I'm afraid of rain." ”

Chu Shangu didn't look back, and hurried in the direction of Qiliyao.

The rain is not spring rain, it is dense and dense, and it is soft and lingering.

The rain is summer rain, and it comes as soon as it is said, crackling and loud.

In the heavy rain, Chu Shangu saw that thunder halberds appeared frequently in the battle situation where there were many figures, like a silver dragon dancing wildly, dazzling and dazzling.

I heard a woman's silver bell-like coquettish shouting: "Fourth Uncle carry it!"

Immediately after that, in addition to the sound of heavy rain and the sound of gold and iron, there was another solemn sound of the piano piercing the ears and stomachs, confusing people's minds!

Make it difficult for him to hold the knife in his hand firmly!
