The old servant Yang Zheng led the way, and a group of five people took advantage of the night, first passing through a meadow, then over a hill, turning onto the only dirt road near the manor, the lush grass disappeared without a trace, and one step away, they stepped into a completely different world, full of hard dirt and gravel, and the little scholar Mingxiang groaned in fear.

Gu Shenwei has been half-asleep and half-awake, marching in the night, his sister's marriage, the short sword on his waist, everything is so unreal, until the sky is white, he wakes up, and is surprised to find that the sun is shining from behind.

"Hey, are we heading west?" Cuilan's in-laws are from the Central Plains, and they have been relatives since childhood, so they should go all the way to the east.

Yang Zheng hummed vaguely, as if the little young master's question was not worth answering, and after a while, he said, "Let's go to Shule City first, there are officers and soldiers there to escort us." ”

"Shule City?" Gu Shenwei exclaimed in surprise, Shule Country is the largest country in the Western Regions, strictly speaking, the Gu family's manor is located in the country, its capital covers a vast and densely populated area, and it is one of the most prosperous places in the Western Regions.

Gu Lun used to be a high-ranking official in the Central Plains, and Gu Shenwei didn't think it was strange for Shule to send troops to escort him, he only felt that his pomp and circumstance were too small.

Miss Cuilan has been sitting on horseback, and she doesn't seem to have any objections to this arrangement, Gu Shenwei regained her vitality, and walked side by side with her sister, thinking about what interesting things she could see when she arrived in Shule City, and then pulled out her short sword and waved it decently, Cuilan said little, and occasionally said a few words, all of which advised her younger brother to be careful.

Although she is only three years older, Cuilan takes care of this mischievous brother like a mother.

Because there were two young girls, the group walked very slowly, the sun was blazing at noon, Yang Zheng didn't mean to stop to rest, Cuilan and Yahuan were already a little shaky, but they couldn't bear to say anything, Gu Shenwei felt sorry for his sister, and he couldn't stand the exposure he faced, and shouted loudly to drink water and eat.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard behind him.

Yang Zheng jumped off the horse and listened carefully for a while, untied his customary spear from the right side of the horse's body, and stood in the middle of the dirt road, his white hair fluttering, majestic.

Everyone else consciously retreated to the side of the road, only Gu Shenwei's eyes lit up, and he also jumped off the horse, drew his short sword, and stood side by side with Yang Zheng.

"Sister, don't be afraid, I'm going to fight the robbers!"

"Don't get in my way. Yang Zheng raised his spear horizontally and pushed the little young master to the back with the barrel of the gun, he had a very high status in the Gu family, except for the old man Gu Lun, he was not polite to anyone, especially Gu Shenwei was still his apprentice in name.

Gu Shenwei shook his short sword dissatisfiedly, and wanted to fight for a chance to kill the enemy for himself, when he saw a cloud of dust rising in the distance, and the pursuers had arrived.

There were three men in all, all dressed in black, who were more than twenty paces away, and they reined in their horses and drew their waist knives together.

"The people of the Gu family want to go back home. The man in black in the middle said, his voice as cold and hard as a rusty piece of iron.

"The nobodies should go back to their hometowns. Yang Zheng raised his spear.

The Gu family pays attention to "swords and guns", first practice knives, and then practice guns, Yang Zheng is especially good at spearmanship, although he is one against three, but he is not afraid at all.

The man in black on the left slaps his horse and slashes at him.

Yang Zheng held a spear, the tip of the spear pointed obliquely, his legs apart, and squatted slightly, like a farmer holding a hoe and pickaxe, fighting against the evil wolf that pounced.

The man in black killed closely, his waist knife was held high in the air, and he was about to slash it down, when the spear in Yang Zheng's hand stabbed out.

This stab is simple and plain, there is no trick, and I can't see how much strength there is, it seems that a child can dodge it, but the man in black can't react, he was hit in the chest, and even the person fell down with a knife, and he didn't even make a sound, and the horse that stepped off continued to run for a while before stopping inexplicably.

The other two men in black involuntarily urged their horses to take two steps back.

Gu Shenwei ran two steps forward excitedly, he never felt how strong the master's martial arts were, especially for his own marksmanship, poking and poking every day, how many years, Yang Zheng had never practiced other moves, I didn't expect that such a simple poke would have such a power, the little master couldn't help but be impressed by the master and the family heirloom marksmanship.

The remaining two men in black glanced at each other, each raised his knife, and at the same time slapped his horse to attack, one left and one right, wanting to flank him.

Gu Shenwei stepped forward and also wanted to test the power of his short sword, in fact, he had never learned swordsmanship, so he had practiced several sets of swordsmanship absentmindedly, for him, there was no difference between using a sword and using a knife.

Yang Zheng used the barrel of his gun to pull the little young master behind him again, still with his legs slightly bent, and the spear rushed forward, as if he would only make this move.

Sometimes one move is enough, Yang Zheng has been immersed in Gu's spearmanship for decades, poking at least a thousand times a day, no matter the cold, summer, rain or snow, never stopping, in the eyes of others, this is just a bland poke, but in his heart it is a trick into ten thousand moves, one move is worth ten thousand moves, the more he practiced, the more wonderful it is, the more indescribable the meaning.

Only the old man Gu Lun can understand his thoughts, after all, this set of spear skills was taught to Yang Zheng by Gu Lun, Gu Lun often sighed and said that the spear technique in Gu's "Double Unique" can only be inherited by a foreign surname.

For this reason, Yang Zheng is loyal to the Gu family, and as long as he is there, he will never allow anyone to hurt the young master and young lady.

Two men in black were killed.

Yang Zheng stabbed two shots in a row, so fast that it seemed to stab two people at the same time.

One man in black fell off his horse without saying a word, and the other man screamed and shook a few times, but he didn't fall off the horse, his legs were clamped, his whole body was low, and he ran west.

Yang Zheng turned around and raised the gun with one hand, aimed at it for a while, and threw it hard, and the spear, which was more than a foot long, shot straight out, as smooth and fast as a javelin.

Thirty paces away, the man in black was pierced through his chest with a spear and fell to the ground like a puppet.

"Master Yang!" Gu Shenwei exclaimed with surprise and admiration, "Teach me marksmanship!"

"Poke at the target 500 times a day, and after three years, Xiaocheng, and then 1,000 times a day, persist for ten years, and the marksmanship will be practiced. ”

"It's better to practice 'Harmony Strength', which will be more powerful in ten years. ”

"Well, that's fine. Yang Zheng walked to the corpse, pulled out his spear, wiped the blood on the man in black, turned over his horse, and continued to hurry. He didn't care about the enthusiasm of the little master, just like the three corpses that were thrown on the road.

Harmony Jin is the internal strength of the Gu family, it has always been passed on to the son and not the woman, it is extremely powerful, it is the foundation of the Gu family's martial arts, Yang Zheng is deeply trusted by Gu Lun, and he has not been taught.

Gu Shenwei has been practicing Hopewell Jin since he was a few years old, and he has been stagnant at the first level of entry, which can be regarded as setting a record for the slowest cultivation speed among the descendants of the Gu family.

The five of them continued to move forward, Gu Shenwei was very interested in the origin of the robbers, Yang Zheng didn't say a word, he had to discuss eagerly with the little scholar Mingxiang, and his sister Cuilan and Yahuan Juxiang slowly recovered from the fright, and occasionally interjected.

After discussing for an hour, Gu Shenwei's enthusiasm was extinguished, but Yang Zheng suddenly said:

"He's a good martial artist. ”

"Who?" asked Gu Shenwei in surprise.

"The one who almost ran away. ”

"He, I think it's normal, and before he made a move, he was shot by the master. No, his martial arts are indeed very good, but our Gu family's marksmanship is even better, isn't it?"

"Huh. ”

Yang Zheng didn't argue, master martial arts competitions often determine life and death by dividing the victory or defeat in a few moves, and the person who loses in one move may not be much worse than the winner in one move, and the situation may be reversed in a different time and place, and the subtlety in the middle is difficult to explain to outsiders, although Gu Shenwei's surname is Gu, and the time for practicing family martial arts is not short, but he has never entered the house, and he is still considered an "outsider".

After walking for a while, the sky was getting dark, Yang Zheng was finally willing to stop and rest, there was no village and no store before and after, saying that he was resting, but he was just sitting on the stones on the side of the road.

After a day of running, Gu Shenwei was exhausted, leaning on his sister's side, Mingxiang and Juxiang took out dry food and water from the package, and served the master to eat.

Yang Zheng simply ate a few bites, looked east frequently, and still maintained twelve points of vigilance.

Gu Shenwei was a little disapprehensive about Master Yang's excessive caution, Master Yang not only learned marksmanship from his father, but also learned his old-fashioned character, three corpses were placed on the road, who else dared to chase after him?

"Young Master Huan, there is a very important task, I don't know if you are willing to do it?" Only Yang Zheng in the Gu family called Gu Shen "Young Master Huan".

"Willing, is it related to killing robbers?" Gu Shenwei jumped up excitedly.

"Well, but this thing is not easy to do, Young Master Huan doesn't have to be reluctant. ”

"The more difficult the better. Gu Shenwei held the hilt of the sword and said proudly.

"I want you to hurry up and go to Shule City to bring rescue troops. ”

"Isn't the robber dead?"

"There are probably more robbers coming after you. ”

"Master, one shot, I'...... Two swords and one slew them all. ”

"But there are a lot of them, just the two of us, it's hard to protect Miss. ”

Gu Shenwei glanced at his sister Cuilan, "It makes sense, I'll go, who will I find?"

"No, when you go to Shule City to find Marshal Yang, just say that Yang Zheng invited him, and he will understand. ”

"Good. ”

Gu Shenwei stood up and was about to get on the horse, but Yang Zheng grabbed him, "Change your clothes with Mingxiang, you are not suitable for riding a fast horse." ”

The more formal Yang Zheng arranged, the more excited Gu Shenwei became, and Mingxiang was a little reluctant, so she was forcibly pulled away by the little young master and exchanged clothes.

The only thing that made Gu Shen unhappy was that Yang Zheng confiscated his short sword, saying that he didn't need it on the road, "Keep going west, hurry up, and you can get to Shule City in one day and one night." ”

Gu Shenwei jumped on the horse, all the fatigue of the whole day disappeared without a trace, and showed a bright smile to his sister, "Wait for me to move the rescuers back!"

At this time, he was still so simple, he didn't ask for details, and he didn't even think that he didn't bring anything, how to solve the problem of eating and drinking on the way.

The little young master of the Gu family rode the horse farther and farther, gradually turning into a small black dot on the horizon, Cuilan had been watching the figure of her younger brother, and suddenly sighed, "I hope the horse runs fast enough, I hope he doesn't look back." ”

Yang Zheng's face changed slightly, although the young lady is young, her personality is also gentle, but she has a lot of knowledge, and she has seen many things in her eyes, and she has already understood seven or eight points in her heart.

"The young lady forgives the sin, and the old servant meditates hard, and can only save one person. Yang Zheng knelt down on one knee with a sad voice.

"Uncle Yang, please hurry up, save your younger brother alone, that is, save the Gu family, what is the crime?"

The little scholar Mingxiang and Yahuan Juxiang looked at each other, not understanding what the young lady was saying, but they were very uneasy in their hearts.
