For example, after that accident, he initially judged that the strongmen were part of a larger conspiracy, but after careful questioning, he seemed to rule out such a possibility. But he lacked confidence in his own judgment.

If Fu Sheng was there, he would definitely ask Fu Sheng for advice. Of course, it is more likely that he interrogated the prisoner with Fu Sheng. However, Fu Sheng was not there, and Yan Tao's first thought was of this master's entourage.

After listening carefully to his thoughts, the entourage completely affirmed Yan Tao's judgment before he made the final decision.

Yan Tao had heard the retinue of the fifth master many times, and he had already concluded that this entourage must be the old man more than ten years ago. But if the entourage doesn't say it, there must be something unspeakable, Yan Tao also pretended not to know, and still shouted one by one. But in the bottom of his heart, Yan Tao has regarded the retinue of the subject as his confidant.

And the entourage has not changed his address to him, just like more than ten years ago, he has always called him Yan Lao Darthead. When he is fine, Yan Tao also likes to chat with his entourage. Yan Tao was originally a well-informed person, but with this entourage, he seemed a little lonely. From his entourage, Yan Tao heard many anecdotes about the rivers and lakes that he had never heard of in the past.

This is the boundary between the north and the south of central China, with the Yangtze River water system on the south side and the Yellow River water system on the north side. Separated by a mountain, the temperature varies greatly from hot to cold. The river on the south side is not frozen in winter, and the river on the north side is frozen in winter.

At this time, the dart team was marching on the Meridian Ancient Road.

"Yan Lao Darthead, have you been to this place?" asked the retinue of the master who was riding a horse parallel to Yan Tao.

Yan Tao shook his head, "Guest officer, have you been here?"

"Lived in this area for a few years. The attendant nodded. He squinted his eyes and looked ahead, as if reminiscing about the past.

"Is this time a revisit to the old place or a visit to the old people?" Yan Tao wanted to take the opportunity to learn more about the owner and his entourage.

The attendant shook his head, muttered for a long time, and replied, "This is the place of our heart. After speaking, his expression was gloomy, as if he had aroused sadness, and he became silent.

Yan Tao originally wanted to ask something more, but looking at the entourage's expression, he still stopped there. Seeing that he asked casually, it caused the other party's sadness and unhappiness, Yan Tao was bored and regretted, he wanted to change the topic.

"Why is this road called Meridian Road?" Yan Tao asked.

"The Meridian Ancient Road is the post road from ancient Chang'an to Hanzhong, Ankang and Bashu. It is named because it crosses the Meridian Valley and starts from Chang'an southbound in the direction of a section of the road in the north-south direction. This road was opened in the Qin Dynasty, and the Eastern Han Dynasty Wang Sheng's "Ode to the Stone Gate" said: "Gaozu was ordered, Xing in Hanzhong, and the road was made by the meridian." At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Xiang fought, and Liu Bang was forced to go to Hanzhong to become the king of Han, and what he did was the Meridian Road. "The retinue of the victim knows a lot.

"I heard that there is another name for this road?" Yan Tao asked again.

"Yes, it is called Lychee Road, which originated from the fact that Emperor Tang Ming built this road for Yang Guifei to eat lychees, and the lychees eaten by Yang Guifei were transported to Chang'an by fast horses. The retinue of the subject replied.

"I heard that in order to keep the throne, Emperor Tang Ming gave Yang Guifei the place where he died is not far from here?" Yan Tao then asked.

"Yes, Xingping Maweiyi is only a few dozen miles away from here. The retinue of the victim pointed in the direction of Xingping Ma Weiyi.

"I heard that in order to let Yang Guifei eat fresh lychees, some fast horses have to run to death every year. No matter how much pampering can be, when the catastrophe comes, it is not to be pushed out as a scapegoat. ”

"This is the sorrow of our country and the sorrow of us men. The emperor is the true dragon emperor, no matter how incompetent or unreasonable, it is not the emperor's fault, but he was tempted by a woman. For example, Daji of the Shang Dynasty, such as the princes of the Beacon Opera of King You of Zhou. Isn't it ridiculous that a big man who is incompetent and has brought down the country still has to find a woman to bear the responsibility for his crimes? There are also ordinary people who can't survive anymore and rise up to rebel, and many times, they only oppose corrupt officials and not the emperor. What scriptures are good scriptures, and the monks with crooked mouths are crooked. The emperor is a good emperor, and it is all corrupt officials and officials who have ruined the country. Didn't you deceive yourself?"

The discussion of the subject entourage was unheard of for Yan Tao, and he had never even thought about it. It seems that in the past, whether it was Daji or Yang Guifei, he always seemed to think that it was a disaster. The words of the entourage refreshed themselves. So-called, the sound of the bell wakes up the dreamer.

"Guest officer Gao Jian, it's really better to listen to your words than to read a book for ten years!" Yan Tao sighed with infinite emotion, and was even more impressed by the entourage in front of him.

"Yan Lao Dart, you are too high and love. The attendant said modestly.

Yan Tao shook his head and said that what he said was definitely from his heart. The attendant didn't say anything more.

At this time, the dart team was marching halfway up the mountain. On one side of the head is a high mountain, and on the other side of the foot is an abyss with no bottom in sight.

Seeing such a road, Yan Tao couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Our ancestors are really amazing, in such a halfway up the mountain, they carved out a road." ”

"Yes, every time I walk from here, I have to think: How did such a road be built? Such a big project, such a dangerous matter, how many people have to die in order to build a road? The entourage was also very emotional.

"It is said that the road to Shu is difficult, it is difficult to go to the sky, and it is so difficult to walk, let alone build a road?" Yan Tao said.

As with many questions, the two men are once again heroically in the same way. The two looked at each other for a moment, and they felt more sympathy for each other.

The team had reached a flat place, the road was much wider, and the trees were lush on either side. A cannon shot was heard, and a group of men rushed out from one side of the road, blocking the way.

Yan Tao beckoned the dart cart to stop, and the dart division of the rear team was divided into two, one part stayed behind, and the other part rushed forward to protect the dart cart on all sides, which was planned for a long time.

"Guest, I'm here to favor you. Then he ordered a few dart masters, and everything here was decided by the guest officer.

Seeing the entourage nodding in agreement, Yan Tao slapped his horse forward.

The two teams are facing each other.

Yan Tao rode his horse to the front of the team, and greeted the other party with a fist on the horse, "I am honest and the dart bureau is passing by here, because I can't take time out to visit the landlords, please forgive me." I don't know what advice you have for blocking my team's way, but please be clear:"

At this time, the person in the opposing team, who was in his early thirties and looked like the leader of this group, answered.

I saw this person come out of the ranks, and he also hugged Yan Tao, "Honor is Yan Lao's dart head, right?"

"The honorable don't dare, it's down there. ”

"The reputation of the integrity dart bureau is far and wide, and we don't dare to embarrass with your dart bureau and Yan Lao Hero. It's just that he is entrusted by people, and he can only be loyal to people. "The other party spoke very measuredly.

"Can you clearly indicate who and what you are entrusted with?" Yan Tao asked politely.

"Whoever entrusted the old hero knew when he saw it, and the thing entrusted was very simple, but someone wanted to invite the old hero and his party to the manor to get together and do the friendship of the landlord. ”

"Then thank you in advance, but I have important things to do, and when I return from the work, I must pay a heavy salute to the meeting. We would be grateful if Brother Tai could get out of the way now and let the darts team pass. Yan Tao didn't want to lose his manners.

"Although the friends below hope to see the old heroes as soon as possible, they are not in a hurry, and they should not be in a hurry. But there is one thing, which cannot be delayed, and the friend below wants to see one of you, and has something to say to her. ”

"May I ask who one of us you want to meet?" Yan Tao's heart sank, knowing that this was the other party's real intentions, and he also understood that trouble was coming.

"Actually, with the wisdom of the old hero, you shouldn't know it, right? Of course, it is one of the escorts of the old hero. ”

"If it's my people, I don't dare to disobey below, but the matter of the subject below is not something that can be decided below. Whether my brother can tell the truth, I will go and ask for the opinion of the subject, and it is up to me to decide whether I see it or not. ”

"I can swear to the heavens that this invitation will be innocent, the old hero will be convenient, and the group will go with you, and both you and your subject will be unscathed. ”

"In this way, can't we go?" Yan Tao's tone changed slightly.

"I have said that I am entrusted by people and loyal to people. ”

"What if you insist on disobeying?"

"Since I promised my friend, I can only go all out. ”

"If it doesn't help to talk too much, then please draw a line. ”

"Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows, no one knows, Yan Lao Hero is kind-hearted, we don't need to fight to the death, people say that the sword has no eyes, it is difficult to ensure that it does not hurt people, can we not use weapons, only divide the fists and feet, and point to the end?" ”

Yan Tao's fame lies in the seven-star knife in his hand, his self-created serial knife technique, which stands alone in the rivers and lakes. Fighting empty-handed is obviously a big loss, and he is really short and avoids his strengths, but the other party's kindness is not easy to dismiss.

"What is victory? Yan Tao asked.

"One-on-one, regardless of the number of games, there is no limit to how many games per person, which side wins in the end, and which side wins. ”

The stakes are very high, and Yan Tao groaned and did not dare to accept it easily.

Just as he was hesitating, he saw a thin man in his twenties, jumping off his horse and walking into the middle of the field.

Pointing at Yan Laishun and saying: "If my guess is right, this should be Yan Shaoxia, the little apprentice of Yan Lao's dart, right? I heard that you are regarded as a master by Yan Lao's hero, and you have taught you what you have learned in your life. I don't want to ask the young man a few tricks? I don't know if I can appreciate my face?"

Yan Laishun was originally an anxious person, and he didn't take the thin person in front of him in his eyes. The integrity dart game walks darts on weekdays, relying on the prestige and connections of the rivers and lakes, and rarely works with people. Occasionally, when there is a conflict, it is also the senior brother Lei Zizhen who comes forward to settle down, and Yan Laishun rarely has the opportunity to perform, and he often feels lost because of this. Unexpectedly, in this place, someone challenged himself first, and he was naturally overjoyed. Yan Laishun was afraid that the master and senior brother would stop him, so without saying a word, he jumped off the horse, handed the knife in his hand to the person next to him, and stepped forward to fight with the person in front of the battle.

Yan Laishun knew very well what the outcome of this battle meant to the dart game, and his first victory or defeat was related to his own morale.

He is also known for his knife skills, especially the serial knife technique created by the master, and he dances even more majesticly. The master also passed on several sets of boxing techniques, although they are not comparable to the knife skills, but they are not comparable to idle people.

Yan Laishun didn't dare to be careless, as soon as he made a move, he took out his housekeeping skills, and it was inevitable to deal with it with all his might. The opponent didn't expect Yan Laishun to come up desperately at the beginning, and he quickly fell into the disadvantage in a hurry, and he was flexible and struggled to support.

Yan Laishun, who took the initiative in the scene, did not dare to carelessly chase after the victory, and the strong attacks made the opponent unable to breathe. However, fighting and fighting, the opponent seemed to gradually adapt to Yan Laishun's boxing, and not only successfully defused Yan Laishun's offensive, but also lost no time in launching a counterattack.

Yan Laishun, who has always taken the initiative, sometimes has to take a defensive position. They fought back and forth for a while, and judging from the scene, the two sides were on par. But a discerning person can see that Yan Laishun has gradually fallen into a disadvantage, and Lei Zizhen, who has been sweeping the formation, knows the importance of the result of this first competition. At first, he was very proud of his junior brother and felt that his junior brother would definitely win. His expression changed greatly as he moved on the field. He could see it very clearly, and he could even see that his opponent was not at full strength. knows that if he continues to fight, Yan Lai will definitely be defeated. The situation on the field has been completely reversed, and now the opponent is attacking round by round, and Yan Laishun is struggling to support.
