On the main road, a team of semi-armed men and horses walked on the official road, this team of people was composed of more than 20 guards of Hanger Langdang, the carriage carried six large boxes, Chen Yuanwai's carriage was in the middle, and Chen He rode a horse to follow aside.

These semi-armed warriors around him only carried a yellow bow and a long sword, and they talked and laughed along the way, without any sense of nervousness, which made Chen He worry in his heart.

And he has a little resistance to this marriage, he has been thinking about it, and he also thinks that the eldest husband can bend and stretch, although he is a son-in-law, he should have achieved the goal of getting ahead.

But maybe it is the dignity of men who does not allow themselves to be so cheap, and he always feels that what he wants is not this, he wants to be more respected and more worthy of his great achievements.

What he wants is success to be looked down upon, can the little white face of the entry-in-law be looked up to?

However, Chen He was heartbroken when he saw that his father was busy with his marriage proposal this time, and Chen He couldn't bear to tell his father that he had changed his mind.

Under the arrangement of his father, Chen He is ready to meet a woman with a very high status, of course, she is not the ugliest woman in it, but judging from the rumors and portraits, it can be said that she is very ugly.

Chen Yuanwai also spent time and effort for this, spent a lot of money to get through various relationships, and got a chance to visit.

This is just an opportunity to visit, not enough qualifications to propose marriage.

Chen He felt that the price of this political marriage was too great for the family, and he could not live up to his father's expectations, so he decided to fully cooperate.

The woman they chose was the only daughter of the Great Celestial Master, and although the only daughter of the Great Celestial Master was not the most powerful woman, she could become the mother of the next Great Celestial Master.

Today's Great Heavenly Master married his sister, and the Great Heavenly Master said that this was to ensure the pure immortal bloodline of his children, and the Great Heavenly Master originally planned to give birth to a son, but who knew that he would not be able to give birth to a second child, and then gave Chen He a chance, and the rumors of this woman's strange ugliness.

Folks say that the position of the Great Heavenly Master of the Dynasty has been passed down from generation to generation, meaning that if the son of the family is combined with the only daughter of the Great Heavenly Master, the man born will be the next Great Heavenly Master of the Dynasty, so even if she is ugly, there are many people who ask for marriage, and it is even more difficult than marrying the real royal golden branches and jade leaves.

But after all, the only daughter of the Great Heavenly Master is a descendant of close relatives, and the risk of not being able to have children is extremely high, so the sons who ask for marriage are actually not the heirs of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, they are all concubines, and those who do not enter the stream cannot enter the eyes of the Great Heavenly Master at all.

Although Chen He was born in cloth, he has been loyal and good in the past dynasties, and his roots are upright. There are still opportunities to be sisters-in-law, and this time the father and son also brought a huge "meeting gift".

The items in the six large boxes behind the father and son are worth as much as ten boxes of gold! It is the sum of the income of the Chen family in the past 20 years, such a huge meeting gift, Chen He never thought that his family could take out so much money in his life, and such a valuable thing, since his father did not hire officers and soldiers to escort him, and did not go to the famous guards, but chose such a group of unnamed guards, Chen He was worried and a little uneasy.

Chen He drove his horse to Chen Yuanwai's carriage and said, "Father, otherwise let's go back and re-plan first." ”

Chen Yuanwai: "What's wrong He'er, I regret it now, don't you want to fight for glory and glory for the family?"

Chen He: "No, father, I just don't have confidence in myself, and it's too expensive, in case people don't take a fancy to me...... No, I just don't think it's safe to go like this. ”

Chen Yuanwai smiled: "Haha, you are too young, I think you judge people by their appearance." Don't worry, your father and I have thought it through, you don't care. Look at it, the so-called guards, it's not good if you have high martial arts, it's not good if you have a big reputation, I used your uncle's connections to invite these people to escort us, the cost is more expensive than hiring a team of officers and soldiers, you are too young, you will know the reason when you grow up. ”

Under his father's deep meaning, Chen He didn't say anything, because there was also a black-faced man walking with Chen Yuanwai, this person was Chen Yuanwai's worshipper brother, named Minghu, who was once one of the thirteen Taibao of the former martial arts alliance leader, and now he is the one who is the head of the dart.

There are 300 miles from Pucheng to the Imperial City, not far, day and night after three days to arrive, it is not a big problem to take the official road to pay the tariff, to say the only danger, that is, from the last section of the Imperial City, the road is being built, to detour a small road. However, it was this paragraph that made Chen He uneasy, how could Minghu not see Chen He's thoughts, and stepped forward and said: "Hahaha, young man, it's the first time to go out with so much money, don't worry, your father found us to protect you because he knew that he was going to go this way." ”

Chen He felt a little relieved in his heart, but what happened next was that Chen He encountered the first real event in his life.

The next day, less than 100 miles from the imperial city, the convoy suddenly stopped in front of a small forest.

On the other side of the woods is a path leading to the Imperial City, and in front of the road is a small hill, which can be said to be the most suitable place for robbery and blocking the road, and there are two deep mountains in the last section of the hill path to hide the cottage, and it is very far from the county seat, which is three hours away.

But the officers and soldiers are not fools, knowing that there must be a bandit cottage inside, they have added troops on the side of the road, especially at the entrance of the mountains and forests, so there are dozens of soldiers in military uniforms camped and patrolled, and they change shifts with the county town in the distance every day, so that people will feel a lot more at ease when they see these officers and soldiers.

Minghu was relieved when he saw Chen He and saw the officers and soldiers, and stepped forward to hug Chen Hedao: "Boy, look at it, I'll teach you a lesson now, it won't take a few days for you to see what the so-called "Yiguan" beast is." Now let's rest!"

Then the convoy really camped and rested, and so on, five days passed.

Chen He has been very bored for five days, and with so much finance with him, he can't sleep or eat.

That's 20 years of income for the family, what if something happens?

The heavy responsibility in the past few days has made Chen He feel like torture, which really realizes that money is a hot potato.

With Chen He's young man's temperament, he couldn't hold back the irritability in his heart, and he couldn't help but start thinking about his future, and began to think about his future, would he really marry the daughter of the Great Heavenly Master? What kind of life would be waiting for him after that? No, no, no, he began to think that he might not be able to marry the daughter of the Great Heavenly Master at all, and the disparity in status was too great! After all, she would become the mother of the next Great Heavenly Master, and even if she was ugly, she would go through a campaign before it was possible......

So what if you fail? Have all the family's income for 20 years been lost because of yourself?

These chaotic thoughts made the young man a little depressed, and he suddenly felt a little disgusting, as if he was selling his body, or selling his body for money, and people didn't necessarily buy it when they received money.

Why do you suddenly feel so cheap? and suddenly feel as if you are going against some original plan, saying what you want to do?

Who am I, where am I, what am I going to do?

These philosophical questions are really only thought about by a teenager when he is idle.

This also proves that Chen He has been really boring these days, and in the end he couldn't help but return to the real question, he asked Minghu: "Excuse me, what are we waiting for?"

Minghu smiled: "Be patient, we are waiting for the dead ghost." ”

Chen He was confused, but he soon knew that Minghu, who was playing cards with his comrades in the afternoon, suddenly sensed something, and quickly leaned over, his ears on the ground. The other warriors also picked their ears and listened on the ground.

"Here comes the fat sheep. ”

Minghu stood up and ran to a high place, others followed, Chen He also caught up curiously, and saw in the distance, a team of people and horses similar to himself were heading to the path, but the distance was too far Chen He couldn't see clearly, but Minghu could see clearly.

"A carload of girls, plus a carload of belongings, moving. There are two practitioners in the guard, plus twelve martial artists, and the martial artists are from the martial arts hall, and they are on the shelf. Fat sheep, it's so fat, it's going to do it. Minghu said.

"What?" Chen asked.

"They're going to be wiped out by the bandits. As soon as they were robbed, we set out. Minghu said.

Chen He was shocked, he saw that the group of men and horses under the mountain had entered the woods under the protection of the officers and soldiers, and there were bandits in the woods?

Minghu put his arm around Chen He and pointed: "Boy, listen, there are three kinds of bandits in this world, if you encounter them, your identity must be dealt with differently."

The first is that the down-and-out warrior falls into the grass, and generally acts alone and can talk to him about righteousness. If you have enough money, you can take it for your own use! If you don't have enough money, you can hand over all your belongings, and then you can call him a brother and become a friend.

The second type is the famine refugees, who are no different from animals in order to survive! If you pity them, they will kick their noses in the face, and if we have too many people, kill them all! If they have many people, they will run, and if they can't, they will abandon their possessions and run. Famine refugees are unable to communicate and are more terrifying than hungry wolves.

The third type is what you are looking for! They are real bandits, occupying the mountains as kings, and dealing with them alone is a dead end, and you cannot come into contact with them as a "person," and you must not be reasonable, and you can only talk about interests.

In this mountain forest, there is a nest of bandits who have occupied the mountains for many years, and the big official road is broken two or three times a year, forcing us to take the small road. What do you think it is for? You see that as soon as the convoy entered the woods, there were three fewer officers and men, where do you think they went? It must have been to ventilate the news. ”

Chen He came to his senses and said: "Officials and bandits are in the same stream, so what should we do?"

Minghu said that he promised that it was okay. With a wave of their hand, everyone set off again, following the convoy in front of them into the mountains and forests, and there was a gap of several hours between Chen He's convoy and the convoy in front. When these officers and soldiers saw the Chen family's convoy, they all leaked strange expressions.

Minghu said that these officers and soldiers regretted it, we are much more valuable than the convoy in front, but don't be afraid, bandits also need to prepare in advance for car hijacking, and they have no time to change their strategy.

After walking into the mountain forest for more than an hour, everyone clearly heard the sound of swords staggering in the distance.

Minghu: "Stinky boys, bring me all the spirits! Take care of my brother and things." Brother, let your son-in-law stay in the car for a while, it's time to pass the "hurdle"!"

Chen Yuanwai hurriedly said, "He'er, get off the horse and get into the car." ”

Chen He was far away, and at this time he had some guesses about Minghu's actions, but thinking of Minghu's purpose, for some reason, as soon as he entered this forest, he was a little uncomfortable, and he didn't know if it was the so-called faint pain of conscience.

Seeing this, Minghu did not object, took out a short sword and still said in Chen He's arms: "Oh, the courage is good." Go boy, uncle will take you to see the big scene. ”

After walking for a while, the sound of swords became much quieter, replaced by the smell of blood, and then when the first corpse came into view, Chen He finally confirmed his thoughts, but this disgusting still made him vomit first, and then his head began to be groggy, as if he had been frightened.

"Don't be afraid, don't stare at these corpses. Uncle told you that bandit robbery is a hard job, and they may only rob once a day, but if they rob enough at one time, they will not rob other convoys. If we let the convoy in front of us do the bad for us today, it won't be difficult for us. Everyone dismounted!" As soon as Minghu's words fell, several people surrounded the convoy, and many of them appeared around, bandits were still holding bows and arrows,

As soon as Minghu gave the order, the warriors of the convoy dismounted one after another, used the horses as cover, clenched the yellow bow in their hands, and moved forward little by little.

These bandits really didn't come forward to attack Chen He and the others.

"I'm the head of Puhe, Minghu! I brought wine to my brothers during the Chinese New Year!"

"I'm the head of Puhe, Minghu! I brought wine to my brothers during the Chinese New Year!"

"I'm the head of Puhe, Minghu! I brought wine to my brothers during the Chinese New Year!"

Minghu shouted three times. The bandits seemed to have received orders to withdraw.

"It's alright, get on the horse. Minghu said that everyone was relieved and got on the horse, and Chen He was confused.

Minghu explained that in the face of the third type of bandits, whether you resist or reason, it is meaningless, you can only prevent!

In fact, many well-known dart heads will find these bandits on their own roads during the New Year's holidays, send them money, grain, wine and meat, and build a good relationship. Because the so-called dart is not about fighting and killing, but about face.

In addition, they have just robbed a big deal and a big deal, and they must have lost something, and they will definitely not come to rob our carriage again, and he does not dare to bet on what our carriage is loaded with, and it is too worthless to hurt dozens of brothers.

Seeing that the bandits had withdrawn, but the corpses on the ground were still there, blocking the way, Minghu did not let the convoy take a detour and walked along the bloodstains, saying that he was afraid of an accidental ambush, so he walked a little slowly.

Chen He looked at the corpse on the ground, it was the guard of the previous convoy, and suddenly a sense of guilt arose.

At this moment, there was a cry for help from ahead! It seemed to be the woman in the carriage, not far away.

"Let's turn around and get out of the way, don't spoil other people's good deeds. Minghu ordered, and the guards laughed, as if they understood what was going to happen.

"Listen to the voice, their guards are dead, only women are left, don't we go to save them?" Chen He heard this, and his values were immediately touched a lot, he was a hot-blooded young man, someone called for help, and he couldn't turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.

Minghu understood, he was also young and frivolous, and stepped forward and said, "Boy, I know you want to save them, then you will become stronger." If you can't get stronger, how can you save them? You're still young, so don't think about these things that annoy you, you're not here to save people, are you? You have to have three longs and two shorts, who will go on a blind date in the dynasty? We will save people, who will protect your family's money?"

"I ......" Since this kind of thing prevented him from saving people, Chen He was a little confused, and for the first time he found that he had to think so much about pulling out his sword to help him when he saw that the road was uneven.

But at this moment, he discovered, he found that something was wrong, what he seemed to want to do was really not to help the family, what he wanted to do was to be respected, feared, and worshipped by others.

What's more, this cry for help is only sharp in the ears of ordinary people, but here in Chen He, it is really like a magic sound can, lingering.

Chen He may have not slept well for too long, and his brain was a little muddy, so he thought to himself: "Does he want others to recognize him? No, no, he wants others to be proud of himself,... I want to be proud, appreciated, and adored, but I want to help others, but I just confuse this concept with the benefit of getting ahead. ”

Thinking of this, Chen He suddenly wanted to save people, and was about to turn the horse around, but was caught by Minghu, Minghu was unhappy, and said seriously: "You bear child, did you hear me speak, you can't protect yourself, and you still want to interfere with others, you really don't know how to know the height of the sky, do you want to involve us all?"

Chen He was a little uncomfortable and said: "The bandits killed people to take money, and now that the money has been obtained, how can we save people? We can pass through here safely, and it is also their lives that are robbed, so we have a chance, and we can't do anything with it?"

Minghu shook his head and said, "What you said is true, but you have put your money in crisis." ”

Chen Hedao: "Although this is my family's savings for 20 years...... But the sage said that human life is as great as heaven, how can it be measured by money?"

Minghu: "But if I say no, I can't! Don't dwell on this matter, even without us, they are destined to suffer this catastrophe, we are just borrowing light to take a path, you can accept it with gratitude." ”

Chen He looked at the corpse on the ground, and the cries for help in the distance became louder and louder, Chen Hedao: "Then you admit that we owe them a favor, and the kindness of acquaintances should be reciprocated." ”

"When I was young, I was as desperate as you, but the avenue is ruthless, your father is knowledgeable, ask your father to go. Minghu was annoyed, greeted him, and the convoy continued to move.

Chen He slowed his horse and came to his father's carriage.

Chen He: "Father, I want to ......"

Chen Yuanwai: "Don't say it, I'm not deaf, I also want to save people, but their lives are lives, you are not lives? These guards are not lives? I know you want to save people, I was as impulsive and competitive as you when I was young, but every time I finished being impulsive, I would get into trouble." Listen to Dad, I'm from here, so I'd better leave it alone. If you want to open the river, the world is like this, you learn to be patient, and you will grow up. ”

Chen He: "What my father said is very true, I want to ask, how will these bandits treat these women?"

Chen Yuanwai stretched out his hand and knocked on Chen Hedao: "Just don't think about it!"

Chen He said to himself: "The sage said: If you dare to kill, if you dare not you dare to live." Both of these are good or bad. Father, I really want to come to my senses, I can't do anything, I think eighty percent of the blind date will fail this time, let's not waste this dowry! I have a new idea. ”

Chen He said, there was a trace of madness in the dark circles of lack of sleep in the past few days, and it seemed that the distant cries for help kept entering his ears, making his already fragile spirit unable to support it, and the sense of justice in his heart broke through his reason.

Chen He grabbed the reins and said, "I said, Father, if I die to save people, will I become a hero admired by all people? If I don't die, then my feat is considered to be a success? Will you be proud of me? You go first, and the child will go back when he goes!"

As he spoke, Chen He pulled the reins and rushed to the direction of calling for help.

"He'er, what are you doing all of a sudden? Come back!" Seeing Chen He suddenly go violent, Chen Yuan was so shocked that he almost fell out of the carriage.

"Stinky boy, are you looking for death!What's wrong with you?" Seeing Chen He, who was suddenly crazy, Minghu, who was walking in front, was also surprised, and hurriedly rode his horse to catch up, but found that since this Chen He's equestrian skills have improved for no reason, the old Jianghu himself can't catch up!

"The sage said that those who are in a high position should forget their selfishness, put others before themselves, be selfless, be a model of people, do their best, and die after themselves. I finally know what I want to do! I want to die to save people, so that I can be worshiped and praised for eternity!" Chen He didn't know why, and there was madness in his eyes, like a delirious horse galloping wildly.

At this time, in another mountain forest, a warrior was holding a nine-foot serial machete, and his body was scarred and dozens of bandits were circling, looking anxious.

The carriage in front of him overturned, and the contents of the carriage were carried away by the bandits with an unhurried smile, and a woman and a girl were pulled out by the bandits, pushed to the ground, and cut their clothes with the knives in their hands, and played with them.

And the warrior, as the last surviving guard, can only be helpless about this, and can only be unwilling and desperate.

There was a sound of breaking the air, and another arrow from the shadows hit the warrior's thigh, and the warrior fell to the ground in despair, being held down by the bandit brother.

The bandit leader, Hawkeye Dog, swore an oath of success in the encirclement and suppression of himself as a victor.

"Idiot, do you know who you're messing with?" said the samurai as he looked at the eagle-eyed dog, now only his mouth was stiff.

The eagle-eyed dog didn't care, looked at the mother and daughter, and expressed shock at their beauty, the mother and daughter had tight and delicate skin on their faces, and their bodies were plump and slender, since they couldn't find a trace of deficiency, they were really a pair of beautiful women, he couldn't help but be moved, and he was going to taste it now! Haha sneered and pounced, and the little brothers around him hid to the side very interestingly, and went to clean up the spoils in the carriage first.

The woman screamed to protect her daughter, holding a strange charm in her hand, and continued to cry for help, as if believing that someone would come to save her mother and daughter.

All this makes the eagle-eyed dog feel ridiculous, in his own territory, no one will come if you scream and cut your throat.

Then a swift sound of horses' hooves came quickly, and only a figure was seen approaching quickly!

"Who's coming?"

"Like, it's a scholar. ”

"I guess he can't ride a horse, the horse is off the leash, you see he doesn't know martial arts. ”

"It seems that the second person in the convoy who entered our territory, forget it, forget it, give Brother Minghu a face, don't be embarrassed for him, ignore him, everyone ignores it. ”

"Oh, no, he seems to be heading for the boss!"

The bandits saw that something was wrong and stopped their goods one after another.

Chen He "drove" and rushed towards the boss eagle-eyed dog, and the bandits found that this Chen He was not good!

At this time, the eagle-eyed dog was pulling the clothes of the mother and daughter, and just noticed the sound of horses' hooves approaching behind him, it was too late at this time, and when he wanted to pick up the long knife on the ground, Chen He had already rushed to him and hit it brainlessly!

It's a pity that the horse also has eyes, and Chen He's riding skills are not at a superb level, and the horse deliberately dodges by himself, but Chen He forcibly pulled the reins, the horse roared, and the hooves clicked on the back of the eagle-eyed dog, and the eagle-eyed dog took a mouthful of blood, and the pipa bone in his left hand was trampled off!

The horse also lost its balance and fell due to this impact, and Chen He jumped up from the horse before the horse fell.

The sage said. Capture the thief and capture the king first!"

Chen He took out the short sword at his waist and slashed at the bandit.
