Lu'an Prefecture in the Song Dynasty is an important town in the northern border pass, after the Song Dynasty destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, there has always been a heavy army stationed here, at this time when the Song Liao is at war, the city inside and outside the city is the neighing of horses, everywhere there are groups of soldiers carrying weapons. Wei Qing buried Liao Chunhua's head on the same day, then went all the way south, along the way the people have fled to avoid the scourge of war, he has nowhere to ask for food, can only find some wild vegetables and grass roots or catch hares and other small beasts to satisfy hunger, fortunately he has been hunting with his father since childhood, his body is still quite strong, trekking for more than two months, although he has suffered a lot, but finally arrived at the destination.

Wei Qing thought that the military situation was urgent, for fear of delaying time, so he went straight to the city without resting, and asked the locals to inquire clearly, and then went to Lu'an Prefecture to ask for a meeting with the Yamen, saying that there was a confidential military intelligence report. The gatekeeper deceived him for his young age, and saw that he was in rags, afraid that if he reported it, it would not be a big deal, but he was afraid that he would be blamed by his boss, so he did not pass it on for him. Wei Qing begged bitterly, but the soldier just refused, Wei Qing thought that if he didn't reveal the truth, he would be a civilian rashly asking to see, it would indeed be difficult to win people's trust.

Wei Qing thought clearly, and stepped forward to make a gesture to the soldier: "This general, Xiaomin has a secret letter on his body, which was written by the marshal of the East Road of the Jin Army to the West Road, and agreed to attack the Great Song Dynasty after the destruction of Liao. The gatekeeper was glad to hear him call himself a general, and laughed at him that the countryman had never seen the world, and laughed even more when he finished speaking." You country boy is talking nonsense, fortunately I didn't pass it on for you, otherwise wouldn't I get into trouble for myself, now the Jin country is fighting with my Great Song Dynasty coalition army to invade Liao, and the two countries have concluded an alliance, a few days ago, the envoy of the Jin country also came to the city to discuss with the Jiedu envoy to discuss the matter of receiving the sixteen states of Yanyun, everyone has seen it with their own eyes, this betrayal of the alliance is to break the trust of the world, you should be your countryman said that don't count." Wei Qing swore that he had never lied, and the soldier did not want to entangle with him anymore, and scolded: "If you dare to talk nonsense, you will be beaten with a big stick, get out of here, the hillbilly will not look at the place if he wants to cheat the reward", and then he raised a wooden stick and made a gesture to beat.

Wei Qing saw that the soldier Ding Jian refused to believe it, and he didn't want to be beaten in vain, so he could only turn around and leave for the time being, thinking to himself, "This festival envoy is going out after all, I will wait nearby, and when he goes out, he will stop the sedan chair to explain the situation, in short, I have to try to bring the letter, thinking that since this festival envoy can be in a high position, he must be a reasonable person, and he will believe what I said after reading the letter."

As soon as Wei Qing took a few steps, a little beggar squatting on the street in front of him suddenly stopped him: "Hey, this brother, what you just said is true? Wei Qing was in an annoyed mood, he didn't bother to pay attention to him, waved his hand and said: "Go, go, don't bother me, what are you doing when you ask for food for national affairs." The little beggar smiled and said, "The so-called righteousness slaughters more dogs, how do you know that those who ask for food will not be able to contribute to the country."

Wei Qing heard that his words were not like an ordinary beggar, and couldn't help but look him up and down, seeing that he was the same age as himself, only sixteen or seventeen years old, holding a green bamboo pole, holding a yellow gourd on the pole, looking at himself with wide eyes and curiosity, his clothes were patched but the pulp was fairly clean, carrying three pockets, and his hair was simply combed and neatly tied at the back of his head, which looked a little different from the sloppy and sloppy flowers he had seen before with unkempt hair and full of mosquitoes and flies.

Although Wei Qing was strange, he thought that a different beggar was still a beggar after all, and the matter was so important that he could tell him for no reason, so he immediately ignored it, turned his head and walked away. Unexpectedly, the little beggar suddenly stretched out a bamboo pole and stumbled at Wei Qing's feet, and he didn't know what trick he used, so he threw him on his back and turned him to the sky. Wei Qing was smashed to the ground, feeling that all the bones in his body were not painful, he was thrown and fought for no reason, and he couldn't help but be very annoyed and got up and pounced on the beggar. The little beggar grinned, and in the same way, he stretched out the bamboo pole and stumbled under his feet, and Wei Qing was somehow thrown to the ground on all fours like before.

Wei Qing fell two heels in a row, lying on the ground in pain for a long time before he struggled to stand up, and said angrily: "I didn't recruit you to provoke you, why don't you have nothing to do to find me happy." The little beggar joked with a hippie smile: "It's not nothing, but just now I heard you say that the people of the Jin Kingdom are going south to attack the Great Song Dynasty, and I want to ask for your letter."

Wei Qing saw that he had the intention of seizing the letter, and he was not an opponent, so he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart: he was pointing to this secret letter to avenge the great revenge of his parents and the whole village, even if he fought to death, he must not be snatched away by him, but this beggar seems to have some kind of magic, he is not his opponent, it is better to go with thirty-six plans. Thinking of this, Wei Qing took advantage of his unpreparedness to suddenly turn over and get up and run forward, he has been hunting since he was a child, and he has been shuttling in the deep forest to catch wild beasts, and he is confident that his steps are quite brisk, and he thinks that the little beggar can't catch up.

"Hehe, do you want to test your foot strength, I want to eat and go south and north to rely on these feet", Wei Qing didn't dare to look back, only to feel that the street scenes on both sides flashed quickly in his eyes, but the strange thing was that the little beggar's voice just sounded in his ears unhurriedly, "Run, your steps are also fast, but compared to the master, this is hehe......"

Wei Qing ran out of hundreds of steps only to feel that the breath was getting heavier and heavier, and his steps were getting heavier and heavier, he had the heart of swearing to the death, so he gasped and ran with his head down desperately, he didn't know the road when he first arrived in Lu'anzhou, just ran when he saw the road, and drilled into the alley, who expected to plunge into a dead end. Wei Qing saw that there was no way forward, so he had to turn around, only to see that the little beggar was still smiling and carrying a green bamboo pole diagonally on his shoulder, and blocking the middle of the road with his legs.

"Hey, run, why don't you run", the little beggar still had a hanging-up tone, "I can't rank in the rudder, but I can be regarded as a good hand in terms of light skills, just if you want to get rid of me with brute force, there are walls on all sides - no way." Wei Qing saw that he easily caught up with him, and couldn't help but be greatly discouraged and pleaded: "My letter is very important, it is a righteous man who bought it with his life, if you are greedy for curiosity, it is useless, but it will harm thousands of people."

"Oh, since this letter is so important, then I have to look at it even more", the little beggar stepped forward with a wicked smile, lifted the bamboo pole and split it on his head, Wei Qing hurriedly stretched out his arm to block it, but the green bamboo pole split halfway but castrated abruptly, bypassing his hands and reaching to his feet, and throwing Wei Qing to the ground for the third time. Wei Qing fell to the ground in pain and couldn't get up with a snort, watching the little beggar reach out to get the letter in his arms, he couldn't care about the pain in his body anymore, his right hand desperately protected the letter in his arms, and his left hand danced and struggled desperately to prevent him from succeeding.

The little beggar saw that his face was so red that he was about to ooze blood, and he was amused and didn't want to bully, so he took a step back and said, "Why don't we make a bet, if I win, you give me the letter, and if I lose, I will pat my ass and leave." Wei Qing saw that he was no longer forcibly seized, but he still covered his chest with his hands before he stood up cautiously and asked him how to gamble. The little beggar smiled and said: "I used a bamboo pole to trip you three times before, but I took advantage of your unpreparedness to sneak attack, this time I will wait for you to be prepared, I will use the bamboo pole to trip you again, if you are still tripped I win." Wei Qing thought to himself that he had indeed tripped over accidentally, if he had taken precautions, he would have used all his strength on his legs at that time, seeing that his bamboo pole was only three fingers thick, how could he trip over himself again. "Okay, the big husband is hard to chase after him, if you lose, you are not allowed to cheat", Wei Qing is confident that he will never lose this time, but he is worried that the little beggar will regret and not admit his account, the little beggar smiled and said: "How can I Cao Lu be that repeated villain, speaking naturally counts."

Wei Qingxin said: "Okay, it turns out that your name is Cao Lu, since I know your name, even if you regret snatching the letter later, I will always find a way to find you and get the letter back", although he was thinking in his heart, but at this time he had to complete the gambling contract according to the other party, and immediately gritted his teeth and squatted hard, the muscles of his legs were tight, and he poured all his strength into his feet. Cao Lu laughed and said, "Are you ready, I'll do it now", Wei Qing didn't dare to speak, he was afraid that he would be deflated as soon as he spoke, so he just nodded to Cao Lu. Cao Lu walked in front of Wei Qing nonchalantly, and swung it out but did not pick his feet, but instead "snapped" and slammed the inner thigh of his right thigh, Wei Qing's legs ached, his legs couldn't help but tremble, and his strength was slack.

"You are cheating", Wei Qing jumped up from the ground and said angrily, "Obviously I said that I was stumbling, why did you hit my thigh with a bamboo pole first, this doesn't count." Cao Lu had a disdainful expression on his face and said with a smile: "Didn't I use stumbling for the last time, I didn't say before that you weren't allowed to hit first, since you lost, hurry up, hurry up and hand over the letter." Wei Qing was not convinced, and argued with him, Cao Lu was impatient to talk to him more, and stepped forward to forcibly seize the letter, but Wei Qing refused, so the two fought.

Although Wei Qing was strong, he was not as flexible as Cao Lu's hands and feet, and in a moment, he was knocked to the ground with two punches and one kick on his body. Cao Lu stepped forward with his right knee against Wei Qing's waist, clamped his hands with his left hand scissors, and reached out into his arms with his right hand to find out the letter.

After Cao Lu took the letter, he smiled proudly and let go of Wei Qing, stood up and took the letter for a moment, and was about to open the envelope. Wei Qing has been traveling all the way for more than two months, eating and sleeping in the open, his physical strength is already empty, and he was exhausted from the entanglement and fight with Cao Lu just now, at this time, he only felt that all the red, green, yellow, and blue circles, all kinds of circles were turning around in front of him, and he was dizzy and couldn't think about anything, and there was only one thought left in his heart to protect his faith. He roared in a hurry, gathered the only strength in his body, and pounced on the trapped beast with all his might.

Cao Lu was about to open the envelope with both hands, and he was caught off guard and raised his leg with a kick, kicking Wei Qing in the face, Wei Qing couldn't hold on any longer, and suddenly a black servant fell to the ground in front of him, and finally heard only one sentence in his ears: "Oops, make the force too big."
