Text: Chapter 7 Horse Slashing Crossbow

He and Qingfeng folded out of the city gate and walked upstream along the Tongou River, which was close to the moat and there was a large pine forest.

Along the way, the water of the Tongou River slapped the river bank and made a "pop" sound, and the river water had overflowed to the edge of the embankment. If it rains heavily, I'm afraid it will burst the embankment.

Passing through the pine forest, the water of the Ou River is more turbulent than near the city gate.

About a cup of tea, on the lonely riverbank, a light the size of a bean dot appeared in the distance.

Approaching, a thatched firewood house, in front of the firewood house, an old fisherman with pale temples was lying on his back, coughing incessantly, for a long time. He put his feet on the bow of a small, dilapidated fishing boat, and struggled to recover the nets, in which a few small fish were scattered, jumping in an attempt to escape death.

The old man sighed, opened the net, and several small fish, which had long been exhausted, jumped into the river again, quickly dived to the bottom of the river, and never came out again.

Qingfeng was carrying a jar of drunken immortal wine and two roast chickens in his hand.

"Daddy Geng, I see that the Jiangzhou Mansion has posted a notice at the city gate, this Tongou River is about to flood again, and this rocky beach can't stay any longer, so avoid it."

"I'm afraid this flood will come early this year, God won't open his eyes, and how many innocent people will be hurt every year."

Sitting on the ground, a broken straw mat was spread on the ground, and one person took a sip of wine, and the old and the young sat down and ate like this.

"It's rare that the little boy still remembers me and comes to visit me from time to time. Now that my health is getting worse and worse, I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch this net fish in another two years."

In about an hour, the two drank up a jar of drunken immortal wine.

Yang Ze actually didn't drink much, some slightly drunk old fishermen leaned against the door panel in front of the thatched hut to block the wind, and a wind lamp of some years swayed under the eaves, making a "squeak" sound, as if he was talking to the river in a low voice.

"This wine is so fragrant, and it is getting more and more flavorful. Little boy, your brewing master is really good. By the way, have you ever seen Yang Wanli, the lord of the Beifu Military Mansion, I have seen it...... , I can't forget it in this life", the old man drank too much and began to babble again, saying these words endlessly.

Yang Ze stuffed the old fisherman's shabby bed with some loose silver, thinking that it would be enough for him to buy wine and drink.

The old fisherman looked at the white-faced boy in Jiangzhou who was far away, and carried a string of dried white fish he gave him. He looked at it from a distance, and he hadn't paid attention to it before, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that the back of this boy was quite familiar, and the picture of the bloody battles seemed to appear in his mind again.

The old fisherman's nose was sour, the smell of wine came up, and the corners of his mouth tasted a faint taste, salty.

On the way back to the city, Yang Ze walked faster and faster.

This road is nothing to Yang Ze, it turns out that when he didn't write, he still felt physically exhausted. Now I always feel that there is an endless sea of qi rolling in the dantian, and the breath is like a bead, often jumping out of the dantian, the whole body swims, and the physical strength seems to be more abundant than before, walking faster and faster, and gradually exhaling a breath of turbidity.

"Young Master, when I just left, I saw that Father Geng seemed to know our identities," Qing Feng said breathlessly as he followed behind Yang Ze.

"Well, we still have to pay attention to hiding our identities in the future", Yang Ze thought about what excuse to find next time to see him again, this old man was lonely and fishing on the rocky beach, and he didn't even have a pension under his knees, and at this moment he looked like no one would have thought that he was the first person to kick into the camp and bind Wuhan.

"Young master, you said that the Bai family in the south of the city rarely came to the north of the city to walk around before, what kind of wind blew them down from the Wind Thunder Sect today?

Although the four major families in Jiangzhou are not divided, they each have their own sphere of influence, and there are very few people who are not interested in going to other people's land. Of course, in recent years, the Bai family has indeed caravans all over the world, and the court has won the favor of King Jing.

The tide rises, and naturally even the servants of the Bai family are flying high.

"As soon as you said it, I remembered this again, so let's take a shortcut and hurry back and ask Master Wei. His golden-winged Dapeng is the most well-informed, and it seems that there is really something strange in the Tongou River."

Yang Ze thought, turned around and walked into the pine forest, and walked briskly in front, and the scholar Qingfeng followed breathlessly, "Young Master, go slowly."

Soon, they could already see the red lantern hanging high in the air with the word "Jiang" written on the red gate of Jiangzhou from afar.

This small forest, where there were originally a few fishermen, was washed away by the Tongou River when it flooded last year, and it was uninhabited and looked a little barren.

The tree-lined paths are long and narrow, and it is very quiet in the dark night.

Just as he was about to walk out of the grove, Qing Feng looked up and saw two people standing there at the end of the path, motionless.

He looked back, and he didn't know when it was behind him, followed by a few reckless men, still holding something in their hands, and the figures in the grove swayed.

"Young Master, is it a robbery?" Qing Feng was a little nervous, and whispered in Yang Ze's ear. Under Tan Zainian's governance, the Jiangzhou Mansion is quite stable, and I haven't heard of any robberies happening.

"Shhhh Then he remained silent and continued to walk forward, with the help of the faint lantern on the city wall in the distance, he saw the two black shadows clearly, one was a purple-faced man, and the other was actually a young man in the green clothes of the Bai family who was arguing in Fuchunju, Yang Ze's eyesight was not as good as it is now, and now he felt that his eyesight was more keenly than before.

The figure in the woods swayed, Yang Ze knew that the person who came was not good, and sneered, "Is it from the Bai family?

The sound of low footsteps came, and hundreds of reckless men dressed in soft armor, carrying long bows, and holding Pu knives in their hands came out of the woods and stood at the junction of the woods and the path, the Pu knives were painted with black paint, and there was no reflection in the dark night.

"Hmph, the laws of the dynasty order those who secretly hide armor, bows and crossbows and weapons to plot rebellion, your Bai family dares to hide so many armor and weapons, is the Bai family going to rebel?"

"Young Master of the Yang family, don't say that, our Bai family can't afford this crime of rebellion. As long as the business is big enough in the dynasty, who does not hide a few sets of armor privately, and who does not secretly hide some swords, bows, swords, and crossbows. If you don't take precautions yourself, such a big family business, the caravan travels all over the place, and I don't know when it will be served by a pot", he sneered twice, and pointed to the city defender who came to the city wall in the distance, holding a sword and halberd and swaying back and forth, "Do you think these wine bags and rice barrels can be relied on at a critical time? What else will they do except extort some silver."

"Hmph, I didn't expect a little guy from the Bai family to dare to defy the defenders of the state capital, and speak so wildly, I'm afraid that he has already had a heart of disobedience."

"Young Master of the Yang family, I complain that your life is not good, the Yang family should have been broken a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to be passed down to this day. Today, the Bai family moved the people, and originally wanted to try the means of the Beifu soldiers, but I didn't expect you to be alone alone, so bother the brothers to send you on the road, don't blame us for being ruthless, who let you be born in the Yang family?"

Yang Ze was shocked, and secretly thought, "He dared to say a big rebellious word, menacing, and he has been planning for a long time, and I am afraid it will be difficult to get out tonight", at this moment, he regretted that he was too careless and did not let the government soldiers accompany him.

"Frightened, when the dynasty was founded, how majestic the Yang Mansion was, the head of the three dukes, built a copper tripod, and was hereditary, but unfortunately it fell on you, a descendant of the unscrupulous, and the Yang family was completely finished."

The little guy waved his hand, "Give me a good greeting to the young master of the Yang family, don't let him die too happily, it's a pity that he has a good skin", he likes to see people struggling in horror and kneeling on the ground before they die. After the humiliation was finished, he slowly cut the other party's flesh, and the other party died in pain, howling in the sky, and even hid a few human skins.

The five reckless men who were close to the little guy pulled out their sharp knives from their waists and walked forward, "Young Master of the Yang family, don't blame the brothers for not giving you a good time, who let you offend the young master of the Bai family."

The five of them forced up step by step, surrounding Yang Ze and Qing Feng in the middle.

"Hmph, you have the guts, you have forgotten that my Yang family is the Emperor Shizu who ordered the three dukes, careless of people's lives, and killed the officials of the imperial court in vain, that is to punish the nine clans", Qing Feng stepped forward and said sharply.

"Hehe, Zhu Jiu Clan, interesting, the brothers don't even know who their father and mother are, and they don't know where to eat their next meal after eating today, so let him kill the Huangkou child of Changxin Palace if he has the ability, brothers wait" Several reckless men burst into hearty laughter and punched each other a few times.

"Haha, besides, Dingguo Gong is not wearing it on your head now, you are just a child of an official eunuch", the little man in Tsing Yi of the Bai family raised his head and laughed, and added coldly, also to cheer up these reckless men.

"It's only four or five miles away from the city here, aren't you afraid of attracting the officers and soldiers who defend the city?", Yang Ze pointed to the officers and soldiers shaking on the city wall in the distance, as long as they attracted their attention, the Bai family dared to act in front of the officers and soldiers of the state capital, and they would not be able to escape the word rebellion.

Before Yang Ze's fingers fell, the smoke in the city was billowing and the flames were everywhere, and the officers and soldiers on the city wall immediately rushed down the city tower, thinking that they were going to fight the fire.

"Good, good, good, what a vicious plan", Yang Ze shouted sharply, "It seems that the Bai family has no last resort tonight, and they are going to kill me."

"The young master of the Yang family is quite smart, not like an idiot visiting the Qinglou. Yes, our Bai family and the Yang family have no grievances, you know each other obediently kneel down and suffer death, Lao Tzu will give you a good time, if you dare to resist, Lao Tzu will give you a little bit of bloodletting, first abolish the third leg under your crotch, that taste is not comfortable, haha", the short reckless man opposite said with a gloomy smile, at first glance, he often did this murder and arson.

The Yang family is not prosperous, and he is in a single line. If Yang Ze dies, the Yang family in Jiangzhou will be extinct, and after a short period of time, the Liu family will die, and no matter how much money the Yang family has, it will be just a flash in the pan, and the hereditary replacement will be just an empty statement.

"Can I change the way I die, jump to the Tongou River and drown myself?" Although Yang Ze was nervous, he still didn't change his face and grinned. "As long as you jump into the Tongou River, with your own water nature, Yang Ze feels that there is at least eighty percent hope of survival," he calculated.

"Stinky boy, who doesn't know that the best water-based in Jiangzhou is your kid", the little guy of the Bai family shook his fat and greasy little hands and scolded angrily.

"I didn't expect them to have a clear grasp of their own situation, it seems that they have already figured out the Yang family's background, and they don't want to kill themselves when they think about it", Yang Ze secretly complained in his heart, why didn't he realize it at all these days.

Yang Ze looked at Qingfeng, and then he remembered the advice of the white-clothed monk at noon, this time he was too careless and forgot the advice of the white-clothed monk of Lianhua Temple.

"Haha, the prince is so big, aren't you still waiting for the Yang family's Deadpool to save you?", the little guy in Tsing Yi put his hands behind his back, laughed, and said, "His knife is a little rusty, and it has already been chopped off by accident." Your Royal Highness, don't daydream when this black light is blinding."

"The last thing, let go of my scholar, he doesn't know any kung fu, honest and honest, you let him go away, never come back."

"Tsk, if this little scholar is like a girl, he will accept her tonight, but it's a pity that he doesn't have the habit of liking prostitution, count him unlucky, let him be buried with you."

Five reckless men with sharp knives approached. Obviously, the other four people all thought that the short and reckless man facing each other could easily kill Yang Ze, and they all stood there and did not continue to move forward.

Yang Ze knew that tonight's matter was either a fish death or a net break, and there was no room for maneuvering, kneeling down was no longer a matter of thinking, Yang Jiaerlang knelt to the sky, knelt down to the ground, knelt down to the ancestors, and died standing to die. In this stubborn and strong regard, Qingfeng feels that Yang Ze is like a Yang family erlang.

Yang Ze dragged the timid Qingfeng to the side, he slowly bent down, the short reckless man thought he was going to kneel, and proudly waited for Yang Ze to cry and shout, begging for mercy. All of a sudden, without help, he was like a pus, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, drilling into the crotch of his pants.

But to his surprise, Yang Ze pulled out a dagger from his boots, "Guanfeng".

"Good boy, courageous. It's a pity that you gave birth to the wrong family, and when you get to the underworld, remember the appearance of your master, and be an apprentice for me in the next life", the purple-faced man who had been standing beside the Bai family's little servant didn't expect Yang Ze to be such a gentleman with a dagger with him, so calm in trouble, not only did he not kneel to beg for mercy, but also dared to resist, and praised him sincerely.

The short reckless man shook his single knife, and with a move "Jiaolong goes to sea", Pu Dao picked up from the bottom to the top, and quickly picked out Yang Ze's crotch, with a vicious move. If this move is realized, even if Yang Ze is not split in half, it will really make the Yang family cut off their children and grandchildren.

Yang Ze lightly pressed his left hand on the back of the opponent's sword, his body leaned out, and his right hand naturally waved the phoenix sword to block. The swords collided, and the ghost head knife was silently broken into two. Yang Ze took advantage of the opponent's move to slash forward.

The short reckless man only noticed that the other party was a sword that was as sharp as clay, and hurriedly abandoned the knife, Rao was so, it was too late, he was forced to cut off three fingers, Yang Ze quickly took two steps back, and distanced himself from the short reckless man, for fear that he would go crazy and suffer pain, and die with himself.

The blade was too sharp, and the short reckless man felt that his three fingers were gone at this time, and he grabbed his right hand in pain, his face turned pale, beads of sweat the size of beans slipped down his face, and blood flowed from the gap between the broken fingers, dripping on the slippery moss bricks, and he hurriedly took out the gold sore medicine from his arms to stop the bleeding.

"Good boy, you still have a dagger that sharpens iron like clay, but you have lost your eyes", the little servant of the Bai family snorted coldly.

"It's a pity", Yang Ze secretly shouted in his heart, if he was faster, this short man would definitely be stabbed to death on the spot.

"Knock" three crossbow arrows pierced the night sky with a sharp whistle.

A few reckless men on Yang Ze's side flew out like catkins through soft armor and nailed to a pine tree not far away, and died without even making a sound.
