In the cold winter, the heavy snow has stopped yesterday, and the snow melts and the ground is full of mud.

"Drive!"

Several horses galloped from a distance, and the hot breath exhaled by the horses turned into clouds of white mist when it met the bitter cold, and the horses' hooves trampled on the muddy ground and splashed mud in all directions.

On top of the first ride is a handsome young man with double Danfeng eyes, his complexion is glowing with a healthy luster, and his back is straight and has the air of a dragon and tiger, which is Song Jiawulang Song Yuyuan!

Behind him was a middle-aged man, with a dark complexion and an unremarkable appearance, like an old farmer who had been digging in the field all year round, and only his eyes were bright, showing the tenacity of his character.

This is the first boxer in Song Xiu's Mansion - Du Wu!

He is a martial arts master who practices the five internal organs!

Further behind them were two people, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, the short and fat man had big faces and small eyes, and there was a smile on his face. The tall and thin man is the opposite, with a serious face, and a hooked and straight face that makes the timid people dare not look directly.

The short and fat man carries a wide knife, and the tall and thin man has a long sword at the waist and hips, and he is a hero of the rivers and lakes recruited by Song Xiu, and the two brothers Sun Cheng and Sun Hou are swords.

After that, there are three nurses of the Song Mansion, each with a grim face and meticulous.

Not far behind their seven horsemen, there were two horsemen following unhurriedly, a man and a woman above, but Chen Ziang and his maidservant Dong Yun'er.

Chen Ziang's face has changed greatly in the past few months, his originally thin body has grown a lot of muscles, his burnt yellow face has begun to appear healthy and ruddy, the appearance of the sharp-beaked monkey's gills has also become more rounded, his hair is neatly groomed, he is tied with a white ribbon behind his head, and a gray robe is also worn by him with a bit of elegance.

After a few months, his Heavenly Arhat Physiognomy Method finally entered the door, which also meant that he could control his strength freely, and no longer had to worry about pressing the horse down with a leg clamp.

And Dong Yun'er also changed out of a handmaid's clothes, put on a strong suit, a simple long sword on her back, her little face was tense from beginning to end, her hands grabbed the reins of the horse in her hands hard, and the green tendons on the back of her hands were bulging.

She can ride a horse, but she is not very skilled, and it is not easy for her to run long distances. Because of this, the two of them followed behind the others, and it was Song Yuyuan who lowered his horse speed, otherwise Dong Yun'er would have been thrown away from afar.

"Appeal ......"

The few people in front of them tightened their reins and stopped.

Chen Ziang and the others stepped up their speed and caught up.

"Third brother, we are going to go down, and we have to get off the horse and walk this way. ”

Song Yuyuan turned over and dismounted, and took the lead towards a small path on the side of the road.

The checkpoint of Guanshan has not been completely opened, and several people, as important figures in the Song Mansion, of course, cannot move forward from there. In fact, in addition to the checkpoint of Guanshan, there are two other roads in and out of Baxia, one is steep and can only be walked, which is the one they are walking now. A twist and turn, the journey is too long, and in the past few months, under the leadership of Song Qiyuan, the passage has also been destroyed, and it has become difficult to pass.

The mountain trails are difficult to walk, and some roads are not suitable for horses to pass, so several people have to carry their horses over before they can embark on the journey again, and the nine people walked for three days in such a difficult journey!

"Whew!

Walking out of the mountain, Song Yuyuan gasped for breath in the scorching midday sun, expressing his feelings.

"It's not easy, I admire those fugitives a little, wolves and tigers are rampant along the way, and they can't sleep at night, it's really embarrassing for them!"

"They may think it's better out there. ”

Du Wuma packed up his horses, and while agreeing with Song Yuyuan's emotion.

"It's better? Now it is estimated that the life of the nine counties of the Central Plains is still quite lively. ”

Song Yuyuan smiled, pointed to the east, and said, "If we speed up, we should be able to rush to Gu'an County today, and we can sleep well at night!"

When everyone heard this, their spirits trembled, and their eyes puffed up.

Finally able to get a good night's sleep!

"Guys, let's go!"

Song Yuyuan turned around, smiled at everyone, turned over his horse, and galloped in the direction of Gu'an County.

"Let's go, drive!"

Du Wu shouted, followed by the rest of the people who also got on their horses and galloped.

The land was desolate, and I didn't meet a living person after walking for a long time, and occasionally passed by a few villages, but the houses also collapsed, and there was no living person, but there were a few stinking corpses lying there, which attracted a lot of mosquitoes.

The sun was setting, the ground was red, nine people and nine horsemen finally arrived in Gu'an, and the shadows of pedestrians finally began to appear on both sides of the road, but these pedestrians saw the figures of a few people from a distance, and they had long avoided and avoided them, and they could not inquire about the situation here in the recent period.

"Gu'an County is located in the intersection of the influence of the Great Sage King Fang Hao and the King of Hanzhong Li Shun, it seems that the ownership here has not been fixed, but it is a happy event. ”

Seeing the city wall of the county seat, several people got off their horses early and started walking, and Song Yuyuan smiled while observing the pedestrians around him.

"This is only temporary, there will be a dragon fight here after the New Year, and then it will be another disaster for the people here. ”

Du Wu shook his head slightly, looking at the pedestrian's gaze with unbearable eyes.

"People in troubled times are not as good as Taiping dogs, but Master Du doesn't have to be too emotional! Isn't the troubled times a good stage for you and me to show our skills?"

Song Yuyuan said with a smile.

Du Wu's eyebrows lowered, and he said lightly: "The fifth young master has said it, I would rather live in a peaceful and prosperous world than my kung fu." ”

"Master Du is a kind-hearted person. ”

Song Yuyuan smiled and was noncommittal.

The city wall of Gu'an County is solid, seven or eight meters high, about one zhang wide, and there are hundreds of soldiers holding blades guarding the gate, carefully checking the road guide and other things of the people entering the city.

"The entrance fee is ten copper coins per person, five horses, and we should have a total of one hundred and thirty-five for nine people and nine horses, why do you want to charge two hundred?"

Liu An, the guardian of the Song Mansion, had an argument with the officers guarding the city with the reins of his horse.

"Carry your blades and add extra money, or you can put your weapons down." ”

The officer looked like a thief, staring at a few people with a sneer, and the surrounding city defenders also slowly surrounded him, always watching the development of the situation.

"Forget it, Liu An. Give it to this general!"

Song Yuyuan waved his hand helplessly.

"It's still this son who understands things. ”

The officer smiled and took the silver taels handed by Liu An, and even took out a small weighing weight, weighed it, took out another pair of scissors and twisted it, and looked for change after confirming it repeatedly.

"You're there!"

Liu An took the silver tael and sneered, this money was enough for a family of four and a half in previous years! Now it is just a door-to-door fee!

"Hey, if you follow the rules, we will follow the rules, and we can't mess up. ”

The officer grinned and put the silver taels in his pocket with his backhand.

"Hopefully this money isn't spent in vain!"

"Rest assured, it's absolutely safe to enter the city!"
