A man in black sneaked out of the woods. Not far behind him, a young man in a coarse cloth shirt smiled. This young man was Yan Shan, and he watched the man in black beat his horse away, and he didn't stop him, but quietly walked through the forest, cutting off the nearby secret sentry.

Yan Shan stood on the side of the road, carefully probing the trap here, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a wicked smile. He made a simple switch of trap arrangements, and then quietly disappeared and waited for the right moment.

After touching a cup of tea, the sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer.

Yan Shan looked around, and saw three sturdy men dressed in Western Xia guard clothes beating horses in front, followed by the man in black who had sneaked out of the woods just now.

Suddenly, the horse's hooves stepped into the air and fell downward.

The three Western Xia guards were on tiptoe and rose into the air, all of which had extraordinary light skills. But at this moment of rising into the air, a harmless smile flashed from their minds, and there was an extremely strange black sword shadow.

The three bodies fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. Their eyes were wide open, and their faces were frightened and unwilling, but the shallow blood mark on their throats confirmed that they were dead.

Yan Shan glanced at the black-clothed man who had passed out in the trap again, his expression was complicated, he hesitated for a moment, and finally left.

The Qing Ying Sword left several wounds on Shi Zhongyu's body, but Shi Zhongyu was still struggling to support it.

Li Ruoxian sneered, if she hadn't cared about the thirty-seven strong crossbows, she would have already killed Shi Zhongyu under the sword.

At this time, a familiar voice came: "The little lady has always been merciful to the Shi gang leader's subordinates, could it be that she really takes a fancy to him?"

Li Ruoxian stopped his sword, swept back, and followed the prestige, only to see Yan Shan sitting on the branch of a big tree, holding a few red apples in his hands. She looked at the black-clothed men with crossbows in hand, and at some point, they all fell to the ground.

"After fighting for so long, I should be tired, why don't you eat an apple and rest, how about it?" Before the two could talk, Yan Shan threw out two apples and said with a smile: "Next!"

Li Ruoxian raised his hand lightly and caught one. Shi Zhongyu was a little puzzled when he saw the apple flying, but he also caught it.

After fighting for so long, Li Ruoxian was indeed a little hungry. The apple looked crystal clear in the sun, and it looked even more delicate against the backdrop of the slender hand. Li Ruoxian lightly opened her lips and took a bite, and in an instant, the refreshing fragrance came to her nose, sweet and delicious, and the aftertaste was endless.

Shi Zhongyu sighed lightly, and let it go, completely ignoring the wounds on his body, and eating the apple by himself.

Seeing this scene, Yan Shan felt bored, and also picked up an apple and nibbled on it.

After a while, the three of them finished eating the apples, and their moods calmed down.

As long as there is a chance to live, who will be willing to die.

Shi Zhongyu arched his hand towards Li Ruoxian and Yan Shan, and said first: "The two young heroes have eyes and don't know the gold and jade, and they offended the two, but fortunately, they haven't made a big mistake yet. I also hope that the two young heroes will not remember the villain, spare me this time, I will definitely change my past mistakes and be a new person. If you can't believe it, I, Shi Zhongyu, can swear to the sky......"

"Alright, alright. Li Ruoxian really couldn't listen to it anymore, so he interrupted Shi Zhongyu, but he didn't want to say more, sat next to the horse, closed his eyes and breathed.

Yan Shan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The little lady is safe and sound, but we killed dozens of your brothers, so it seems that we are still at a loss." ”

Shi Zhongyu hurriedly said: "Shaoxia is serious! We have bad intentions first, and the two of them only acted for self-protection, why is this wrong?"

The jade in this stone spits lotus flowers, and its eloquence is by no means under Yanshan.

Yan Shan secretly admired it, and recalled the arrangement of the trap just now, as well as the courage to fight to the death, he actually had a good impression of Shi Zhongyu, so he said with a smile: "Since the Shi Gang Leader has said so, it is not good to forcibly admit his mistake in the future, otherwise it will be too bad to give the Shi Gang Leader face." It's also that we don't know each other, so let's make friends, how about it?"

Shi Zhongyu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's really a blessing to be able to make friends with young talents like these two in the next life!"

"The Shi Gang Master is humble. Yan Shan arched his hand towards Shi Zhongyu, then walked in front of Li Ruoxian and stretched out his palm.

Li Ruoxian opened her eyes with a puzzled expression.

Yan Shan slanted the corpses all over the ground out of the corner of his eye.

Li Ruoxian sighed lightly, took out a gold ingot from his arms, and put it in Yan Shan's hand.

Yan Shan shook his head slightly.

Li Ruoxian took off the simple jade pendant from his waist and stuffed it into Yan Shan's hand.

Yan Shan smiled and nodded, without any suspense, in exchange for just a white eye.

Yan Shan walked to Shi Zhongyu's side, stuffed the jade pendant and gold into Shi Zhongyu's hand, and said with a smile: "It's us who are reckless, and there will be the leader of the Lao Shi gang!"

The ingot of gold was fifty taels, which was five hundred taels of silver. Look at the jade pendant again, the texture is simple, antique, and it is worth at least a thousand taels of silver.

Shi Zhongyu looked greedy, but still excused himself: "How can this be done?"

Yan Shan Zhengse said: "The main thing about the stone gang is not to accept it, but they just look down on us." ”

Shi Zhongyu saw that Yan Shan was indeed sincere, so he accepted it and arched his hand: "Then I will thank the two young heroes for the dead brothers and their families." The two young heroes are so generous, if they can't do something for the two of them, I'm afraid they will have trouble sleeping. ”

Yan Shan said with a smile: "We are just starting out of the rivers and lakes, and there will definitely be many things to rely on the Shi Gang Leader in the future!"

Shi Zhongyu patted his chest and swore an oath: "As long as the young man commands, I will also break through the sword mountain and the sea of fire!"

"Brother Shi is really a friend enough!" Yan Shan said loudly.

"I don't know what the young man is called?" Shi Zhongyu asked.

"My name is Yanshan, and Brother Shi is called a brother. ”

"Brother Yan!" Shi Zhongyu's heart was surging. Although he was born in a reckless background, he wanted to do a vigorous career. Seeing that these two are dragons and phoenixes among people, he can have fellowship with them, the injuries on his body, the dead brother, everything is worth it.

Then, Shi Zhongyu explained the reason why he came here.

Three days ago, three Tangut people found Shi Zhongyu and asked him to help catch a woman, promising to give two thousand taels of silver as a reward.

Shi Zhongyu knew that this matter was not trivial, so he excused himself on the grounds that his gang was weak.

Who knew that the other party said that they could give 1,000 taels of silver as funds first, and they didn't need to arrest people, they just needed to delay the time and let the Tanguts come.

It was not difficult to listen to this, so Shi Zhongyu agreed. The thirty-seven crossbows he had bought for eight hundred taels of silver.

And that's it.

After listening to the narration, Yan Shan smiled mysteriously at Shi Zhongyu and whispered in his ear: "Those three Xixia people are over there, they are already dead, and Brother Shi can still make a small fortune, which will be used as medical expenses." ”

Shi Zhongyu also learned from Yan Shan's appearance, and said in a low voice: "Then I will tell Brother Yan another piece of news, someone wants to kill the divine doctor." ”
