Qu Fan and Bai Susu drove the thousand-mile meteor fan and flew closely with the crimson light for several days, and this day flew to the official road leading to Qingshui County with the crimson light.

Seeing that the crimson light flew all the way to the front of the official road leading to Qingshui County, Qu Fan and Bai Susu could finally be sure that the black-clothed masked man had gone to Qingshui County.

The road is fairly flat and wide, about four or five meters wide, but on both sides of the road are high mountains and rugged. The high mountain is overgrown with trees, and from time to time geese pass through the clouds and mist on the top of the mountain.

Ten miles ahead, a group of people is walking on this official road.

There were seven people on horseback in this group, two on the left and two on the left and right, one in front and two in the back, and a richly decorated carriage was enclosed in the middle. These seven people are like the escorts of the owner of this luxurious carriage, and the carriage is impenetrable. The luxurious carriage was driven by a young man of about twenty-four or five, wearing a square scarf, a green shirt, and a three-foot brush with a green shaft hanging from his waist, which looked very elegant.

The voice of a woman in the car could be faintly heard. This sound is like a yellow warbler out of the valley, crisp and loud but tactful and soft, like a hollow valley orchid, soft and soft, making people feel more comfortable and relaxed.

Suddenly, the curtain of the luxury carriage was opened, and a young girl poked her head out and asked the man who was driving the carriage, "Big brother, how long is it to get to the county seat?"

This girl is about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a goose-shaped face, very delicate, especially her big eyes, which are bright and shiny, and they are very good-looking.

The man who was questioned by the woman replied casually while driving the carriage: "There are probably more than fifty miles to the county seat." ”

Through the curtain that was opened, it could be seen that there was a man and a woman sitting in the carriage, the man was about fifty years old, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a three-inch long beard, dressed in a green robe, sitting on the left side of the carriage, and it seemed that there was a sense of righteousness emanating from the man's body.

The woman was sitting on the right side of the carriage, about forty years old, with white skin, no wrinkles on her face, very well maintained, and she looked very graceful and luxurious in her outfit. The woman's face was very similar to the woman she had just questioned, and it was thought that they should be a mother-daughter relationship.

"Big brother, can you speed up the trip. The girl who leaned out of the carriage continued, "I heard that there have been bandits on this road recently who have come out to rob passers-by. ”

The man driving the carriage heard this, and said with great disdain: "It's just right to come, I will definitely let these bandits come and go, and eliminate the harm in the name!" Then, he comforted the girl softly and said: "Little sister, don't worry about it, you don't know your brother's ability, just some bandits, my brother I don't care about it, I think you should go back to the car and sit in the car with peace of mind." ”

When the girl heard this, she stuck out her tongue, said no more, listened to the man, lowered the curtains, and sat back in the carriage.

"Drive!" came out of the mouth of the man driving the carriage. Although the man told the girl that he was not afraid of robbing the bandits, he was worried that if the bandits really appeared, he would frighten his little sister, and he took care of his little sister in every way, for fear that she would be hurt a little.

The horse pulling the carriage seemed to be quite spiritual, as if it had understood the conversation between the man and the girl who was driving the carriage just now, and suddenly increased its speed under a loud shout.

"Strategy!" the seven men guarding the carriage also sped up the horse's walk.

This person is the first scholar in Qingshui County, and he is a big family. The man in his fifties sitting in the carriage is named Yan Guzhen, who is the head of the Yan family at the moment, with calligraphy in one hand, awe-inspiring and upright, and is quite respected. The woman in her forties is Yan Guzhen's wife Xu Miaolan.

Yan Guzhen and this Xu Miaolan have a pair of children under their knees, the son is the man who drove the carriage named Yan Junsheng, and the daughter is the girl Yan Yushuang who asked questions.

The seven men who rode horses and surrounded the carriage in the middle were the loyal guards of the Yan family, and they won the trust of Yan Guzhen, the head of the Yan family. This trip was Yan Guzhen returning from visiting relatives in Linxian County with his family.

About half an hour later, the pedestrian had traveled more than ten miles, and at this time, two miles ahead, in the alpine woods on both sides of the road, there were no less than forty or fifty figures lurking among them.

"Boss, there's business again. A figure whispered.

"Seven guards, plus a handlebar style, it's easy to deal with!" said another figure, "There can be three or four people in the carriage at most, even if it is all women and children, this business is not worth it!"

"Boss, I don't understand why I have to go down the mountain to rob women and children, how happy my days in the mountains used to be!" another figure complained.

The figure called the boss reprimanded: "If you don't want to die, don't ask more!

The reprimanded figure muttered to himself: "When did the boss become like this, the whole thing looks like a frightened bird, and the people are so unhappy!"

The name of the boss called by these figures is Cheng Wanli, who is a famous bandit in the deep mountains in the southern part of Weishui County. I used to live in the cottage what a happy and happy life, occupy the mountain as the king, arrogant and dry, so uncomfortable, since a mysterious person came to the cottage, I lived this kind of kidnapping women and children, every day I was afraid that I would not be able to complete the task assigned by the mysterious person every month.

The mysterious man told him that he would take 100 women and children captive every month, otherwise he and his copycat brothers would die.

"More than ninety have been kidnapped!" Seeing that tomorrow is the end of the month, Cheng Wanli was secretly anxious in his heart, "I hope this carriage is full of women and children!"

Cheng Wanli thought that if this was the case, then there would be only a few places left, and if he was lucky, he would be able to complete the task assigned by the mysterious man today. Seeing that it is getting late, if there are not women and children sitting in this carriage, then there are almost no passers-by walking on this official road at night, and the task assigned by the mysterious man may be difficult to complete, not that he did not think of going to the densely populated places to kidnap people in the past, but this is undoubtedly very dangerous, because the government has posted its own wanted portraits everywhere, so it is the safest way to kidnap people on the official road.

The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer.

Cheng Wanli made a code with his hand, which meant to let everyone get ready to attack. More than 20 figures lurking in the alpine woods on the opposite side saw Cheng Wanli make a code, and the figure led by them replied with a code, which means that they are ready to attack at any time.

Cheng Wanli saw that the carriage had arrived, waved his knife and shouted, "Kill!"
