The horse thieves were frightened and frightened, and some of them, regardless of their two companions, turned their horses' heads and ran back and forth, only to fall off their horses as soon as they turned around. Some people also raised knives and shouted and cursed, and as soon as they were halfway through the words, they rolled their eyes and then fell down. The bald horse thief raised his knife and shouted, "Let's run away!" and quickly pulled the reins, quickly circled behind the other horse thieves, and ran away.

Seeing that the leader ran away first, the other horse thieves stood like trees and scattered, and fled in the wilderness, but after all, the movement was a step slower, and it had become the leader's meat shield, and with a series of muffled sounds of "bang", "bang", "bang", five or six people fell down one after another. The rest of the people heard the sound of their companions landing, but they didn't turn their heads, and they didn't dare to stop breathing, and they pulled the horse's mane and patted the horse's ass to make the horse run faster.

"Are you in a hurry to run for your father's funeral?"

Ji Cha put down his sleeves, turned over a horse, and chased after the horse with a shake of the reins. Hong Chen also got on another horse, recalling the skills of riding a horse last time, holding the reins in his hand, clamping the horse's belly between his legs, and following behind.

Seeing that the horse thieves were fleeing quickly, Ji Cha stabbed the two silver needles above the two hind legs of the mount, and the horse was in pain, and his speed increased by three points, but after a dozen breaths, he caught up with the three horse thieves who fell behind. Raising his hand and flicking the needle, he broke through the air and knocked all three horse thieves off his horse.

There were only four horse thieves left in front of them who were still on the run, and Ji Cha kept chasing them, shouting: "Weren't you very happy just now? Don't run! Why are you so cowardly?"

When the four horse thieves heard this, they were even more frightened. I thought I was accidentally grabbing food from the tiger's mouth and provoked the local king of cutting paths, but I didn't expect that the chick who was the target was a hard stubble, and I don't know what means were used, and killed several brothers. One by one, they did not dare to stop, and even threw away the torches, and only used the whip to whip the horse's buttocks.

The bald horse thief has a good breed of big black horse under the crotch, runs fast, and soon pulls out a distance of more than ten zhang with other horse thieves, and there is a tendency to pull farther and farther. He was breathing a sigh of relief, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of him, and a man in a long shirt suddenly appeared from the bend in the road on a white horse.

"Don't get in the way!"

The bald horse thief drank loudly, and at the same time raised the steel knife in his hand, ready to kill the person who came with a knife. It just so happens that corpses can also be used as roadblocks to stop the pursuers for themselves.

The two horses approached in an instant, and the bald horse thief stabbed at the man in the long shirt and slashed at his waist, but the man in the long shirt felt something unknown from his arms and slammed it diagonally on the knife. A tremendous force passed through the hilt of the blade to the bald horse thief, and the steel knife sank violently, and his body was crooked, and he fell from his horse.

The big black horse was slashed by the falling steel knife and ran away without a trace. The bald horse thief fell into a dog's, knocked out a row of teeth, and sat up with his bleeding mouth covered, but when he saw that the man in the long shirt had dismounted, he finally saw what he was holding in his hand—it was a book with blue and yellow pages.

At this time, Ji Cha had already stabbed the other three horse thieves unconscious, chased them over, and saw that the bald horse thieves had actually knocked down the horses for others, and he was just a little better, and he added a trace of unhappiness, and asked: "Who are you?

The man in the long robe raised his head and arched his hand towards Ji Cha: "In Xialiuquan, when passing the road ahead, I saw a large number of fresh horseshoe prints appearing intensively, and many of them had heavy traces of shoe damage on the hoof prints, and they passed along the tracks of a carriage. When he saw the thief fleeing, he shot him down. I didn't expect that it was a brave and beautiful girl who was chasing the destitute, but she was rude, and it was too much. ”

If someone else said such humble and praising words, Ji Cha would be comfortable, but when he saw the face of the man in the long shirt, his disgust and anger suddenly jumped up. This Liu Quan is none other than the Confucian scholars who took a boat from Xiangyun City together and later helped the Yun family deal with themselves. suppressed his anger, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, your family should live by the sea!"

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment and said, "Why did the girl say this? I can't hide it, I am a person from Yunzhou, who has been living in the inland for more than 20 years, and has never seen the sea. ”

"That's weird. Ji Cha said slowly, "You don't live by the sea, why do you still manage it so widely?"

"This ......"

Liu Quan smiled helplessly. He also knew that "your family lives by the sea, and the management is quite wide" is a nosy sentence, but seeing that the other party is a beautiful girl with an outstanding temperament, she should be very self-contained, so he didn't think about that sentence at all.

At this time, Hong Chen also rode over and said to Ji Cha: "Those horse thieves are all down, what to do?"

Ji Cha said without hesitation: "Take off their clothes, hang them upside down on the tree one by one, and then take the horses away and sell them for future entanglement." ”

"Very good. Hong Chen nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Horses are worth a lot more than donkeys, are these horses sold for enough money to eat a full meal in Kyushu?"

"Dear mother. Ji Cha stared at Hong Chen with wide eyes, "Why are you so magnificent? Do you still want to eat the whole Kyushu banquet every day? Why don't you go to Tianjing, sit on the dragon chair, be the emperor, and sleep with the queen?"

"Ahem, you two, listen to me. Liu Quan couldn't listen to their nonsense, deliberately coughed twice, and interjected, "These horse thieves have done a lot of evil, and they don't know how many lives they have on their hands, so they should be handed over to the government for punishment and disposal." As for the horses, they are to be returned to their owners by the government or confiscated. ”

Ji Cha couldn't help but continue to sneer: "Yo, those who live by the sea come to eat salty radishes and worry about it again." ”

Hong Chen nodded and said, "This big brother seems to be more reasonable." Horse thieves are very bad, and I seem to have been chased by them when I was a child, and I almost died. It would be more appropriate to hand them over to the government. ”

If he hadn't been able to beat Hong Chen, Ji Cha really wanted to give him a few ear scrapers, and then teach him a lesson: "Are you stupid, it's too late for us to hide from the government, and we will send prisoners to others?

Taking a deep breath, Ji Cha's eyes rolled and said, "Since there is a high-spirited Mr. Liu Quan, you can send the horse thieves to the official mansion! Anyway, except for this bald horse thief, all the other horse thieves have been stabbed by me, and they may not be able to wake up in six hours. ”

"Most of the horse thieves are made by girls, how dare you be greedy for merit?" Liu Quan began to excuse himself, "And it is difficult for me to drive and drive horses by myself, so it is better for you to send them to the government in person." ”

Ji Cha was about to scold his mother-in-law for looking like a man, but Hong Chen said, "We are about to go to Ziyun City, if Brother Liu stops by, he can go with us and escort them to the official mansion there." When the time comes, you will give people away meritorious service, and we will sell horses to make money, won't we have the best of both worlds?"

Ji Cha was very surprised, Hong Chen was often stupid, but this time he made a clear account. Thinking about it again, he really doesn't have much silver taels on him, and when the time comes, he will sell the horse first, and then ask for the reward that Liu Quan, a sour scholar, received in the government, and he can really make a fortune. nodded with a straight face: "This idea is not bad, but I don't know if Mr. Liu Quan is willing to go to Ziyun City together." ”

Liu Quan immediately said: "Although Zai Xia originally wanted to go to Tianzhou from the north, but being anxious for justice and righteousness is the true nature of my generation, so what harm is it to help the two escort horse thieves on a trip? ”

"That's just right. ”

Ji Cha finally had a happy color, dismounted and tore the bald horse thief's clothes, and tied him with strips of cloth. Then, together with Hong Chen and Liu Quan, he tied up a total of sixteen horse thieves along the way and threw them into the carriage.

When none of the horse thieves died, but the coachman was angry, Hong Chen picked up a steel knife from the ground as a shovel, dug a pit and buried the coachman. The three of them then went on the road, and Liu Quan drove to escort the horse thief, and Ji Cha and Hong Chen rode horses to drive the horses to follow them, and continued to rush in the direction of Ziyun City.

While driving the horse, Ji Cha complained and sighed: "That big black horse, like a skewer of Beidi Red Lotus Horse and Yunzhou Horse, can be sold in the market, at least a hundred taels of silver, but it was let go by a person who lives by the sea." ”

Liu Quan knew that he was teasing himself again, but it was not good to be cheeky and not answer, so he tried to change the topic: "Ah, it's really rude to be here, and I haven't asked the girl's name and this son's name." ”

"I don't dare to be the name, our surname is Ji Mingchen, the era of commemoration, and the dust of smoke and dust. Ji Cha pointed at Hong Chen, "He is not a son, he is my bodyguard, you can call him black tea - the red of black tea, the tea of black tea." ”
