Chapter 18 Return Distress

Wu Fuzi smiled kindly and expressed understanding. After chatting with Yang Lin for a few words, he took out the peace agreement and signed it with Yang Lin. signed it, and personally took Yang Lin to apply for the author's certificate.

After completing the author's certificate, Yang Lin opened it and looked at it a little. See the above is also printed on the way in which the bookstore settles the author's salary, and some things that need to be noted. Yang Lin was relieved!

declined Wu Fuzi's proposal to invite them to have lunch together in the bookstore, and found Liu Ruyan, who was reading in the bookstore in the front hall, to eat out together.

It was rare to come to the county town, and in the following days, Yang Lin and several people either visited the county town together or separately. Having learned the lessons of the county, he didn't dare to be like a tourist. Look at the east of the county, look at the west!

One day, Yang Lin and Liu Nuxia were shopping. At this time, a young warrior who was drinking in the opposite restaurant saw Liu Ruyan below, his eyes were happy, and he was about to put down the wine bowl and shout.

saw Liu Ruyan reach out and grab the arm of a young scholar next to him. What are you talking about?

Seeing this, the young warrior looked at them as if he had been struck by thunder, and he looked at them with a dull expression, unable to return to his senses for a long time.

Even if the wine bowl in his hand fell to the ground and shattered without his heart, it seemed to be unconscious.

Seeing this, a junior second next to him hesitated. Then he looked at the long sword that the young man had placed on the table, sighed lightly, and pretended not to see it.

It took a long time for the young warrior to come back to his senses, and when he looked down, Yang Lin and the others had already disappeared.

One day later, several people were invited to participate in the new book promotion meeting held by Qianyuan Book Company in the county town. Because of Wu Fuzi, he is very optimistic about the travelogue written by Yang Lin. After some operation, it was actually ranked first.

It was also on the top of the scriptures and history articles written by a scholar, which also caused a lot of criticism at first, but after reading the travelogue written by Yang Lin. The sound soon faded away......

Soon after the book promotion meeting, Yang Lin's travelogue gradually became popular in the county town, and the first printing of 5,000 copies was quickly sold out. Seeing this, Yang Lin was relieved, prepared gifts, personally visited Wu Fuzi, and handed in the manuscripts of the last two volumes.

During the conversation, he explained his intention to return home, which was exquisite in ancient times. Parents are here, not far away, Wu Fuzi understands and appreciates Yang Lin's filial piety. solemnly wrote a piece of writing and gave it to Yang Lin as a return gift.

After Wu Fuzi's repeated stay, Yang Lin talked with him for more than an hour before bidding him farewell.

A few days after Yang Lin and the four of them left the county seat, a group of warriors from Tsing Yi led by a middle-aged man, riding a tall horse and carrying a unified long sword.

After meeting with a person, the person whispered a few words in the middle-aged man's ear. The middle-aged man stood there with a gloomy face after hearing this, and he didn't speak for a long time, and the person next to him who was leading the horse with a sword on his back saw that the middle-aged man didn't speak, and they all stood next to him silently.

When the pedestrians on the road saw this, they avoided them from a distance.

"Lead the way!" the middle-aged man stood for a long time before he spoke.

"Yes, master!" the man did not dare to ask, but replied respectfully.

Yang Lin and the four of them followed the Chamber of Commerce, and they were safe for more than ten days. Because his uncle Gu Tong often went to other carriages to play with others, the card game created by Yang Lin.

Yang Lin was idle, not looking at a book bought from the county seat, the distribution map of Wanzhou's forces.

I want to see if there are any forces in this world that are more familiar to me like the Shifting Flower Palace and the Murong Family, which have appeared in other parts of this world.

After taking a closer look, he really found a few plausible forces. Yang Lin was depressed when he saw it, so he and Liu Ruyan were amused.

But they didn't know that a middle-aged man hanging behind them saw this, and his mouth was about to be crooked, especially when Liu Ruyan took out a water bag and fed Yang Lin water in person.

The middle-aged man in the back had a spark in his eyes that was like substance, but he didn't know what the reason was?

Waiting for Yang Lin and the Chamber of Commerce to pass through a canyon mouth. As soon as he was halfway there, he faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves from both the front and back.

"Alert!" the steward in the Chamber of Commerce yelled when he heard this.

When the dozens of guards in the Chamber of Commerce heard this, they all held their weapons and shields with solemn faces, divided into two teams, and ran towards the front and rear.

Yang Lin and the four of them stood in the middle with the weapons and shields distributed to them by the people in the Chamber of Commerce. Liu Ruyan held his long sword and the shield issued by the Chamber of Commerce, and stood beside Yang Lin with a firm look in his eyes.

As soon as the chamber of commerce guards set up their positions, a team of horses appeared in the front and rear. Half of them were holding crossbow-like weapons, half of them were holding various other weapons, and they were dressed in black with a mask and a skull embroidered on their clothes.

Yang Lin roughly counted and found that the number of people in black was at least one hundred and fifty. More than half more than the guards in the Chamber of Commerce.

But he wasn't too worried yet, and he had encountered a similar battle when he came. It was all people from the Chamber of Commerce who stepped forward to negotiate, and then they were released!

"In Xia Xu Liang, Tian is the steward of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce, and I have seen all the friends of the Thirty-six Villages!" the guards made way of a path, and the steward of the Chamber of Commerce stepped forward to look at the group of people in black, and said after the skulls embroidered on their clothes.

"Since you know that it is our thirty-six village, why don't you put it down quickly, and the goods and women will get out of here!" a deep voice sounded in the black-clothed crowd and replied.

"I don't know if it's the one in charge who is in front of him, and his tone is so big. Can you show your name and let me wait to see you one or two!" The steward Xu Liang continued without humility or arrogance.

"Hey, hey, you don't have to, now I'll give you two choices.

One is to leave the woman with wealth and give me the fuck off.

The second is death!" The man in black in the crowd said with a sneer.

The reason why he did not directly order the attack was because the strength of these guards was not weak. Desperately, it can also bring them greater losses.

"Our chamber of commerce and the people of Thirty-six Villages have always been well water and do not interfere with river water. This time I suddenly came to the door, presumably missing some coils.

We are willing to give the proceeds of this time, and I also ask this master to make it convenient for me to wait for the people in the Chamber of Commerce to leave!" Xu Liang listened so ruthlessly, and did not take the Chamber of Commerce and himself and others in his eyes at all. Desperately suppressing his anger, he said in a slightly deep voice.

After speaking, he paused and waited for the other party to reply.

"Less nonsense, choose!" After waiting for a few breaths, a few words rang out from the crowd in black.

When Xu Liang heard him say this, his lungs were about to explode, he felt that he had put his posture so low, and the man in black still refused to give up, not to mention wanting to rob them of their money, but also insulting their women and children.

"You really want to do such a desperate job, you must know that this is the caravan of the three princes. Offended the three princes, can you people from the thirty-six villages afford to be offended?" Xu Liang could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and roared.

A man in black was waiting for the Chamber of Commerce to move out of the backstage and release the news himself to boost their morale.

He had previously taken refuge in a big man and came to trouble the Chamber of Commerce. So no matter what the people in the Chamber of Commerce say or do, he will not let these people go.

Hearing this, he said coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Don't use the third prince to scare us, we didn't dare to provoke the third prince before, but now he can't protect himself."

Then there's time to take care of it, you little fish and shrimp, trivial things. The man in black paused at this point.

Only then did he continue: "I look at your appearance, it seems that you haven't received the news yet, so I'll kindly tell you, your third prince." When he was fighting with Wu a few days ago, he was ambushed and was defeated, which was almost equivalent to the annihilation of the entire army!"

Although Xu Liang didn't turn his head to look at the expressions of the guards next to him, he could imagine it by his imagination.

shouted: "Hugh is talking nonsense!"

The man in black sneered a few times in the crowd before replying: "Military affairs, how dare we talk nonsense." ”

Xu Liang didn't dare to ask any more, and he knew the style of Thirty-six Villages. Seeing that it didn't make sense, he knew that he couldn't be good, and retreated to the crowd like lightning, and the guards just surrounded the gap.

"Shoot the arrows!" Xu Liang gritted his teeth and shouted softly to the crossbowmen hiding behind the shield.

Suddenly a powerful burst of crossbow arrows shot out of the gap in the shield. Since the leader did not order the attack, the number of guards was more than half that of them.

They had no idea that these chamber guards would dare to attack them first. In a hurry, there were a few unlucky people in the front row, who were planted from their horses before they could react to the arrow.
