It is said that there are many talents, and the scenery is beautiful, and the northern and southern Xia countries and the snow country have their own merits, and there are poems that say:

The mountains and rivers are beautiful and in summer, and the wind and snow are not southern.

Trickery and scheming need to be accompanied by water, and the strength of the bow and knife relieves the cold.

And the story starts from the grassland of the snow country.

It was the end of March, and before the snow had melted on the grassland, a team of more than a dozen horses was slowly marching in the twilight. A young man in brocade rode a horse to the front, the scroll in his hand swaying gently with his steps. Eight or nine other teenagers in cloth escorted a carriage in the middle.

"Mom!!" a crisp voice sounded through the golden cracked stone, and a pretty girl of twelve or thirteen lifted the curtain and came out.

"Alas......" Ye Pei put down the scroll in her hand and shook her head, "Keep moving forward." Then he reined in his mount, let the convoy pass, waited for himself to be in sync with the carriage, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Mom, I'm hungry, don't leave so late today?" Ye Feiyuan looked at Ye Pei with his eyes open. Before Ye Pei could speak, the attendant next to him hurriedly said: "Little Miss doesn't know, robbers are rampant here, we need to rush to the town ten miles ahead before nightfall." ”

Ye Feihui pursed his lips: "How long do you have to go ten miles at this speed...... It's so tiring to sit in the car...... And grandma is hungry too......" As he spoke, he looked back at the carriage. And a chuckle came from inside the car: "Feili, I'm not hungry." It's up to your mom. Ye Pei looked at the sun that was about to set, and said, "If it's too fast, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand the bumps, and everyone should be hungry." Then, Ye Pei said loudly: "Everyone, stop the horses, set up a tent and get ready to rest!"

Hearing this, another attendant said: "Young master, don't you, a dozen of us, meet robbers, Mrs. and Little Miss, in case there is a mishap......"

"Okay, I said stop, stop. By the way, you're not worried about me?" Ye Pei replied.

The attendant bowed his head and said weakly: "Young master, you have advanced martial arts, so you don't have to worry. ”

"......" Ye Pei was silent for two seconds, saw the other attendants move off the tent on the flatbed, and said loudly: "Don't worry about me, you get your own and leave two for me." ”

After that, Ye Pei got off the horse and got into the carriage, and looked at the woman in her thirties next to Ye Feibin: "Mother, don't worry about the robbers, there will be no danger, you can sleep well." Huang Qilin, that is, Mrs. Ye, smiled slightly, and said, "Why is my son so sure?" Ye Feihui interjected: "Yes, Mom, won't you be attacked at night?" Ye Pei raised her head and said: "Don't worry, with my experience, there will definitely be no danger at night." With that, he got out of the carriage.

Ye Pei took two tents, set them all up, looked at the people who were in a hurry, laughed three times, and shouted to the carriage: "Mother, daughter, the tent is set up!"

"Ah Yi, get me a bow and shoot a few rabbits with me!" Ye Pei stepped on the horse and shouted. When the young man named Ah Yi heard this, he threw a bow to Ye Pei, took the quiver himself, got on his horse and went away with Ye Pei.

When everyone set up their tents and turned snow into water in the pot to prepare to cook noodles, Ye Pei and the two had already returned with a full load, Ye Pei was holding a black spear in his hand, with five rabbits on it, and Ah Yi had two in one hand, and everyone took the rabbits and began to skin and bleed to prepare for the barbecue.

Dealing with rabbits in his hands, Ah Yi looked at Ye Pei, who was chatting with his mother and daughter, and said to the people next to him: "Brother Rong, the young master's arrow...... That's accurate!"

Xu Rong raised his head and said, "Yes, I heard Uncle Meng say that the young master's martial arts are simply unfathomable, and General Ye has been amazed by the young master's talent since he was a child. Hey, Ah Yi, the young master's spear ......"

Ah Yi said: "I don't know what's going on, at that time I was still saying that so many rabbits are not easy to take, but I didn't expect the young master to pull out a big gun from his waist, and now I don't know where the gun went." ”

......

After everyone had finished eating, it was almost dark, and the attendants lit three or five fires to prepare for the vigil. Seeing this, Ye Pei said, "What are you planning to do?" Xu Rong replied: "Young Master, we plan to divide into two groups and guard in all directions to prevent robbers from sneaking up. ”

Hearing this, Ye Pei shook his head and said, "You guys...... I don't have much experience, but I have a lot of ideas. No, as long as you leave two or three people to watch the dots at a time, it's not a big problem to put out the fire and sleep when you're tired. Why bother so hard, how can you rush tomorrow with dark circles under your eyes?"

Ah Yi said: "Young master, the government here is not effective, and you also know that robbers are rampant! Everyone is optimistic about all directions, and they will not be caught off guard by others when they are awake." ”

Ye Pei smiled: "I naturally know, rest assured, there will be no sneak attack at night." Ye Pei was about to elaborate, but when she heard Huang Qilin's call, she threw down the sentence "Do as I say!" and walked towards Mrs. Ye.

And the attendants who listened to Ye Pei's words were divided into two factions.

After all, the young master often walks outside. ”

"What are you listening to, although the young master often goes out, he is accompanied by Uncle Meng, and the young master himself is probably inexperienced. Tomorrow there is a good chance that I will be in distress at night. I think we'd better be more guarded. After all, there are little young ladies and ladies, and if something happens, we will fall to the ground. ”

Soon, the attendants were united in their opinion to proceed with the original plan.

Let's talk about Ye Pei's side.

"Son, tell me, why aren't there robbers attacking at night?" asked Huang Qilin, "I think those children have a point." ”

Ye Pei looked at Ye Feilian, who also had puzzled eyes, and said, "Alas...... How many times have I been walking around outside, and I can't even judge this situation?Mother, do you know where this new group of guards came from, and why did I take them with me when I went to grandpa this time?"

Without waiting for Huang Qilin to answer, Ye Pei then said: "They were eliminated from the army this time because they had some flaws in some aspects. They are all from the villages around Shunxing City, although they grew up in the mountains and wilderness, but Shunxing City, near the national capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, where did the bandits come from? Even in the northern mountains, the threat is only wild beasts. So from this point of view, it must be your son and I who are more accurate, and it is better to bring them to accumulate some experience. ”

"Mom," Ye Feihui asked at this time, "Are there no bandits near Shunxing City?"

"Yes, otherwise the government eats dry food? Moreover, around Shunxing City, people are still living a decent life, at least there is no problem with food and clothing, who would be a bandit." ”

"That'...... Mom, didn't the government say that they would clean up the dangerous gangs in the city? But I once heard Brother Alan in your courtyard say that there would be a fight between the two gangs outside the city at night. The government isn't very useful, isn't it? Ye Fei said.

"Ahem...... Belch...... You don't need to know much about this, anyway, it should be a difficult thing to do...... Well, it's a little harder than banditry anyway. Ye Pei, who has always been calm and calm, is rarely a little distracted. Mrs. Ye, who was slightly aware, smiled, and Ye Pei looked at Ye Feihui and nodded as if she didn't understand, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and at the same time secretly scolded Alan who was far away at home in Shunxing City.

When Ye Pei came out of Mrs. Ye, seeing that the attendants had no intention of extinguishing the fire, they had already separated into two groups and put on a defensive posture, sighed softly, didn't say anything, and went back to sleep in their tents.

At night, the first group in charge of guarding, from the beginning of their eyes were like cow eggs, slowly began to nap, when it was more than half of the ugly time (two o'clock in the night) of the agreed shift change, the other group came out, and saw the brothers who were already sleepy with weapons and eyes blank.

When the hour of the hour (seven o'clock) was approaching, there was a faint white in the east, and the attendants who saw this light were relieved, they had not slept enough, and they had been staring at it for so long, and as soon as they relaxed, sleepiness suddenly surged up like a tide.

At this time, Ye Pei came out of the tent, grabbed a handful of snow, rinsed her mouth, wiped her face, and said to an attendant in front of her, "Is there an attack at night?"

The squire shook his head dumbfounded.

Ye Pei reached out and took the knife in the attendant's hand and said, "What did I say?

The attendant was stunned when he heard this, and shook his head again.

Ye Pei sighed and said, "I'm so sleepy that my senses are not sensitive." Wake everyone up and go to Madame and Miss to protect them. Remember to be gentle when calling them. ”

The attendant nodded, and was about to do it, when it suddenly occurred to him that he seemed to have received an order to protect. It's okay all night, it's daylight...... Just as he was about to ask, he heard the sound of horses' hooves and shouts in the distance.

Ye Pei looked at the expression on his face and said with a smile: "Now do you know why I said that you are inexperienced? ”

"What's wrong?, woke people up so early......" Ye Feihui asked as he came out of the tent in full dress.

"Little Miss and Madame don't move here, there are robbers coming!" replied the attendant.

Ye Feihui was stunned for a second, and hurriedly shouted: "Mom!

Ye Pei touched her nose and said, "I found them a long time ago." ”

"What should I do, Mom! There are robbers!"

"Didn't I stand here and stop them, you and your grandmother stayed there quietly and didn't move. ”

As he spoke, a group of men had already been killed, riding horses around the crowd.

The man at the head looked at Ye Pei, who was standing in front of him with a knife, and said with a smile: "This little brother, do you know the rules?"

Ye Pei said: "Knowing is knowing, but ......"

"We are the Ye family of Shunxing City! you still have to think clearly!" A voice piercing the golden cracking stone came into the ears of everyone present.

Ye Pei's words were interrupted, she held her forehead and shook her head, and said, "This stupid and cute daughter ......"

As soon as the robbers heard the Ye family in Shunxing City, their eyes suddenly lit up, and one of the robbers said to their leader: "Boss, this is a big ticket, let's ...... it."

The leader of the robbers thought for a while and whispered: "If you only rob, you may be found by others afterwards, but it is not okay to kill people, if you are tied up...... It's a big deal, let's change places after knocking this one. Okay, those two ladies over there should be important people. Then he raised his voice and shouted, "Brothers, go and tie them up!

Hearing the order, the robbers shouted and narrowed the encirclement and went to the center.

Seeing this, Ye Pei sighed and said, "Stupid ......" I saw a flash of cold light, and with the gentle sound of the scabbard falling to the ground, Ye Pei had already landed on the back of the robber leader's horse in a few leaps.

The leader of the robbers was startled, and just as he was about to take his weapon, a calm and threatening voice was heard from behind him.

"Stop it all for Ben Gongzi. ”

The robbers looked back, reined in their horses, looked this way, and stopped moving. However, there were still people who quietly urged the horse to take down the group of guards with black circles on their heads, so as to hold those two important people hostage.

And this move did not escape Ye Pei's eyes. "Do you want to test how fast my knife is?" said him, and a streak of blood appeared on the robber leader's neck. Suddenly, all the robbers stopped there, and did not dare to move again.

"Alas...... And ye say, ye ye when the seed is finished sown in the ground, and then run out and die. Ye Pei half-squatted on the horse and gently shook the knife in his hand.

"This young man, be careful with the knife......" At this time, the leader of the robbers was already about to pee.

Ye Pei looked at it, took down the knife, grabbed the leader of the robbers and jumped down, pointed the knife in his hand at the robbers, and said, "Anyway, it's not a big problem, I think you can leave." Too lazy to do anything with you. Come, disperse first. ”

At this time, the leader of the robbers who was carried by Ye Pei on his waist saw the strange pattern on the jade pendant on Ye Pei's waist.

"Are you...... Lingyu Shaoxia?"

"Ah...... Precisely. Ye Pei was slightly surprised and replied.

The leader of the robbers suddenly said: "I'm sorry young man, we didn't know before, I hope it didn't scare those two ......"

And when the robbers heard this title, they also took the initiative to disperse the encirclement and gathered together.

Ye Pei put down the robber leader and said, "Heh...... I said, if I wasn't there, you really wouldn't even rob my Ye family? We are the same as those fat pig-like officials? We also robbed and came back to you, even if I didn't rob you, my family wouldn't bother to send someone to trouble you. ”

The leader of the robbers got on the horse, hugged his fists and said, "I'm sorry, Ye Shao." I'm leaving. ”

Ye Pei put away the knife, looked back at the attendants who were like lonely souls and wild ghosts, and said helplessly: "Okay, you guys sleep first......

Three days later, at dusk, Ye Pei and his entourage had just returned to Shunxing City, and they were running into Alan who had just left the city.

"Wow, young master, it's not good! you're not here for a few days...... Uh......" Seeing Ye Feili poking his head out of the carriage, Alan held back half of his sentence.
