The reason why Qing Geng brought Gao Chang and the four people on this trip was not because they were his brothers, but because of a vicious fight half a year ago.

At that time, Gao Chang and Jiang Yi had just entered the Patrol Salt Imperial History Mansion, and Cui Hanliang and Lu Dengquan had not yet enlisted in the army. On that day, Zhan Peng, the owner of Yanjing Village, ordered someone to send a sample of new salt, and Qing Geng felt that the condition was good after seeing it, so he led Gao Chang and Jiang Yi out of Changping County and went to Mo'er Kanfu, preparing to hand over the new salt sample to Jiang Zuo Du Yushi for a look. Ankang County is the only place for Changping County to go to Mo'er Kanfu, Qinggeng three people just passed through Ankang County only two or three miles, they found that not far ahead, a few birds were startled in the woods on both sides of the road, and they have been crawling and rolling on the rivers and lakes for so many years, whether it is Qinggeng or Gao Chang, they feel that this matter is not so simple, they are just about to return the same way, there are twenty or thirty masked green forest people in the woods, all of them are fierce and evil, they can't help but say, they cut and kill, and the three of them resisted. At the time of the stalemate of the war, two knights who walked the rivers and lakes saw that the road was uneven and drew their swords to help, these two knights were Cui Hanliang and Lu Dengquan. The five of them fought hard, and Cui Hanliang, who had never thought of intersecting with the three of them, actually cooperated very tacitly, and the battle situation was very good, and finally they killed this group of green forest people, but the five people of Qinggeng were also sleepy, and the new salt samples could not be sent, so they could only choose another day. On the way back, the three of them had a good conversation with Cui Hanliang and decided to become brothers with different surnames, but they had to wait until they returned to the Salt Patrol Imperial History Mansion to prepare three animal sacrifices to worship, and Cui Hanliang and the two entered the Salt Patrol Imperial History Mansion. But after walking less than half a mile, I met Qiao Zhengchu who went out to patrol, Qiao Zhengchu saw a few people embarrassed, asked about the cause and effect, worried that the bandits would turn back, so he accompanied them all the way back to Ankang County, since then Qinggeng and Qiao Zhengchu have gradually become friends who can talk about each other.

Gao Chang and the four of them were originally people in the rivers and lakes who licked blood at the tip of the knife for a long time, and after following Qing Geng, they knew that the rivers and lakes were sinister, and the weapons never left their bodies, even if they saw the princes and nobles, or when they needed to take off their weapons when they sat and lay down, they never borrowed the hands of others, so when the people of Yanjing Zhai wanted to help them pick up weapons, they categorically refused.

Zheng Chudong instructed the villagers beside him: "Go and brew some of the snow buds you just got for you to taste." ”

The villagers answered "yes" and walked out of the lobby.

Qing Geng said: "Don't bother, let's take a look at the freshly boiled fine salt first." ”

Zheng Chudong persuaded with a smile: "The owner of the newly boiled fine salt village has already ordered someone to pick it up, and it will be delivered later. ”

Zheng Chudong said that he was not wrong about the salt affairs, and he did not lose the gift of hospitality, and Qinggeng was not good to shirk again, and the two sides politely said to each other "It's good recently", and the departing villagers re-entered the lobby with a tray, and on the tray, there was a teapot and nine teacups.

Zheng Chudong got up, walked out, took out the teapot from the tray in the hands of the villagers, came to Qinggeng's side, poured a few cups of tea with a smile, took them out of the tray respectively, handed them to the five Qinggeng, and poured a cup of tea for himself, Liu Yanling, and Ma Xiao, before they sat down, picked up the teacup, and said, "Please!"

Minglang was just about to take a sip of tea, but he caught a glimpse of an empty teacup on the tray in the hands of the villagers who retreated to the side, and he already knew that it was prepared for the owner of the village, and immediately said: "Isn't the owner of the exhibition village busy yet?"

Everyone was just about to taste the taste of tea, and when they heard Qing Geng's question, they all had to stop and set their eyes on him. Zheng Chusheng pondered: He was shocked, and his mentality was a little worse, and he was afraid that he would be scared out of his feet. He was not in a hurry, put down the teacup and said with a smile: "The owner of the village is also about to arrive, and the grass people will order someone to urge again." At that moment, he instructed another villager: "Go and see where the owner of the village is?"

The villagers came out in response, Zheng Chudong picked up the teacup again, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's drink tea first, please!"

Everyone took a sip of tea in response.

Zheng Chudong asked, "How does it taste?"

Qing Geng pursed his lips lightly and said: "Mellow and sweet, fragrant and far away, good tea!"

Zheng Chudong smiled: "Then drink a few more glasses, please!"

Everyone took another sip of tea.

Before he drank the third sip of tea, he only heard Zhan Peng's hearty laughter, "Lord Yushi is still as conscientious as ever, and he has been urged by these little cubs in the kitchen." "The man in blue who entered the hall was a man in blue, carrying a tray covered with a black cloth, and judging from the outline of the cloth, there should be a bowl on the tray.

Qing Geng and the others put down the teacup, got up and said: "The master of Zhanzhai is laughing, the emperor's order is in his body, and he doesn't dare to slack off." He paused, then fixed his gaze on the tray and said, "Is this freshly boiled fine salt?"

Zhan Peng nodded and said, "Exactly, Lord Yushi, but I want to see it now?"

Qing Geng said: "It's better to read it earlier, and go to Jiang Zuo to return to Lord Yushi as soon as possible." ”

Zhan Peng smiled: "Then we won't delay time." He suddenly lifted the black cloth, Qing Geng looked at it, and saw an iron bowl on the tray, but the iron bowl was not filled with salt, but a grid like a beehive. At the same time, with the sound of a porcelain cup shattering to the ground, a group of Yanjing villagers armed with swords and sticks suddenly poured into the gate of Zhongyi Hall, there were more than ten or twenty people, shouting "Kill Qinggeng", and directly pounced on Qinggeng's side; Ma Xiao shouted, he had already jumped out, and directly attacked Gao Chang and the four of them, Zhanpeng also shot like electricity, and with a flip of his palm, the iron bowl was already facing Qing Geng, and then more than a dozen blue cow hair needles shot quickly towards Qing Geng, Qing Geng quickly swept forward with a shot At the same time, he leaned towards Gao Chang, and Zhan Peng quickly retreated to avoid being hit by Qing Geng's silver gun.

Gao Chang shouted: "Big brother be careful." At the same time, he quickly pulled out a knife from his belt with his left and right hands, and when he turned around and flicked his right hand towards the villagers who were attacking Qinggeng from behind, his left hand had also been swung out, and the target was Zheng Chudong. Before the words fell, Jiang Yi had already leaned towards Gao Chang and Qing Geng with a shield in his left hand; Cui Hanliang also quickly opened his bow and arrows, aiming at the direction where Liu Yanling was jumping; Lu Dengquan was about to catch up with Ma Xiao, and when he turned around, he caught a glimpse of Gao Chang who had this intention, and shouted: "Fifth brother, smash open the wooden window behind you." Lu Dengquan knew this second brother Minhui, and without any hesitation at the moment, he turned around and ran towards the screen.

All this happened between the lightning and flint, and the flying knife shot out of Gao Chang's right hand "stabbed" through the body of the village that attacked Qinggeng, and "grabbed" the ground and nailed into the wooden pillar several feet behind the villager, the handle of the knife was still shaking itself, and the village didn't even scream, and the chest was bleeding and fell. Although the speed of the flying knife shot by Gao Chang's left hand was not weaker than that of the flying knife in his right hand, the opponent was Zheng Chudong, who was incomparable to the villagers, and he was dodged by Zheng Chudong by turning over. With a "stab" sound, the flying knife passed through the screen not far behind Zheng Chudong, and hit the wooden window behind the screen with a "peng", smashing the wooden window, nailing the flying knife to a piece of broken wood, and several other pieces of broken wood "sand" fell to the snow outside the lobby with a few sounds, splashing several snowflakes.

Jiang Yi hadn't used his shield to protect Qing Geng, more than a dozen cow hair needles were already approaching, Qing Geng waved his spear to force Zhan Peng to retreat, and at the same time, he also shot down several cow hair needles, but there were still a few cow hair needles shot at him, he only felt a few places on his body that were numb, as if he had been bitten by mosquitoes, but he didn't feel any discomfort for a while.

When Liu Yanling saw the arrow coming, he hurriedly knocked it out with an abacus and knocked the arrow to the ground.

Cui Hanliang put back the quiver with his right hand, and was just about to take the arrow and shoot another arrow, but Ma Xiao, who was not hindered in any way, had already attacked with both hands waving an iron hook, and hooked his right hand towards him. At such a close distance, it was too late for him to take an arrow and open a bow, and he immediately decided to abandon the bow and arrows and use other weapons instead, he swung the big bow with his left hand and drew it towards Ma Xiao, and his right hand changed to hold the arrow with no arrow feathers at the end of the arrow, and after taking it out, he pointed straight at Ma Xiao, which was a judge's pen. Seeing the situation, Ma Xiao hurriedly waved the iron hook in his left hand, and the iron hook in his right hand, the big bow in his left hand, the judge's pen in his right hand, and the iron hook in his left hand came down one after another, and neither of them got a bargain.

In the next second after the Qing Geng silver spear swept, Zhan Peng smiled and quickly stepped forward again, and his right palm slammed towards Qing Geng. When Zhangfeng saw that he was about to hit Qing Geng, Jiang Yi arrived in time, only to hear a "bang", and Zhanpeng's strong palm hit the shield. Affected by this strong blow, Jiang Yi couldn't stand still, and retreated back again and again, and actually bumped into Qing Geng and Gao Chang behind him, and the three of them staggered back together, and with a "peng" sound, they hit the screen behind them again. At the same time, he heard a "peng" sound, and Lu Dengquan directly hit Cui Hanliang and the screen behind him with his shield. At this time, there is only a wall between the five people of Qinggeng and the outside, and in Qinggeng's memory, from the direction of this wall, go straight for one or two hundred meters, is the stable of Yanjing Village, there are at least thirty or forty good horses in it, as soon as this wall is broken, they can go straight to the stable, seize the horses, and it is not difficult to escape.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Dengquan threw out the shield directly, and the shield spun at high speed and flew towards the wooden window, only to hear a "boom", the wooden window was smashed, and he immediately shouted: "The wooden window is broken." The shield still flew several feet away in response, and knocked down several Yanjing villagers outside, before falling into the snow with a "creak".

At this time, the poison of the poisoned needle in the Qing Geng Institute seemed to have attacked, twitching slightly, and his breathing became rapid, but he still said, "Hurry up...... Get out, go straight, grab the horses!"

Cui Hanliang said quickly: "You guys take the eldest brother away, my palace!"

Jiang Yi and the three of them, who were still stumbling, had already retreated to the wooden window, and at that moment, Gao Chang's thoughts were racing, and without saying a word, one turned over and crossed the wooden window, and at the same time, two knives had already shot back, and the target was Zhanpeng and Liu Yanling, who were closest to them.

At the same time as Zhan Peng turned over to dodge the flying knife, his voice also sounded, "Stop them, don't let them take the horses." ”

While Liu Yanling flew to dodge the flying knife, he also hurriedly pulled it out of his belt, and then waved his hand suddenly, and the two copper coins suddenly shot towards the wooden window and Jiang Yi. He just wanted Jiang Yi to fall into a dilemma, now Qing Geng's shield is only one left, blocking the copper coin shot at Jiang Yi, he can't stop the one shot at the wooden window, and Gao Chang is climbing over the wooden window, it must be impossible to dodge, Jiang Yi can't dodge, behind him is Qing Geng, as soon as he dodges the injury, it is Qing Geng, and Qing Geng has been poisoned by the needle, if he is hit by the copper coin again, I am afraid that his life will be difficult to protect.
