The convoy was divided into three sections, and in front of them were twenty warriors in black suits, each with a sword in his hand, and from time to time someone would take a gourd from his bosom and take a sip of liquor to warm his stomach. In the middle is a richly decorated carriage, all in vermilion, and the back is mostly ox carts and donkey carts, which should be carrying luggage and the like.

Inside the carriage, a small table is placed in the center of the carriage, and there is a purple heater on top of it, which provides a comfortable temperature. A family of four sat at the table, a boy of about seven or eight years old, and a little girl of five or six years old were laughing and playing with each other.

Both of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and there was a fluffy mink fur at the collar to keep them warm.

"Han'er, let me sister. ”

It was a woman in her early twenties, the kind of woman who would feel very gentle when she looked at her, and her eyes seemed to shine with a warm light.

"That's it...... If you are an older brother, you have to let your sister go. A gentle and energetic voice rang out.

This is a man in a light white robe, looking at his early thirties, slender and straight, with well-defined cheeks and deep eyes, revealing a kind of stability and calmness, with a calm temperament between his eyebrows, a smile at the corner of his mouth, and a dignified appearance.

Jiang Ru winked at Han'er, the little boy immediately understood, stopped playing with his sister, straightened his chest, patted his chest that was obviously not very strong, and a crisp voice came out of his mouth:

"Daddy and mom don't worry...... I'll definitely protect my sister!"

"Hahaha...... Daddy believes in you. The man laughed and rubbed his son's hair, then hugged him tightly in his arms.

But the little girl on the side was jealous, her pink and tender little face pouted, don't turn her face, her mouth was upturned, and she deliberately "hummed" very loudly.

"Ouch, our family Qin'er is still eating my brother's vinegar?" Jiang Ru noticed that her little daughter was jealous, and said with a wicked smile.

"Necros, Daddy!"

Jiang Qin blushed all of a sudden, said angrily, and then got up and threw himself directly into his mother's arms, and even cried as he spoke: "Mother~"

Jiang hurriedly hugged her daughter tightly and glared at her husband coquettishly.

Jiang Ru smiled helplessly, frowned slightly, and replied with the same eyes: "Aren't I kidding?"

Just when the couple's eyebrows were expressive, Jiang Han, who was in Jiang Ru's arms, suddenly broke free, stood up straight in the carriage, opened his hands, blocked in front of his sister and mother, and said righteously: "Daddy can't bully my sister!"

“......”

'This bunny. ’

Jiang Ru slapped his head helplessly, and hurriedly asked his wife for help with his eyes.

"Hee-hee...... Brother, I'm fine. ”

Jiang Qin raised her head from Jiang's arms, her face was flushed, but there was no trace of tears in the corners of her eyes, and a mischievous smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

"Brother is the best!"

"Okay, you two ......." Jiang Ru gritted his teeth and said, his face pretended to be vicious, he opened his hands like a big bad wolf, and his slender body pounced directly on the two children.

"Hahahaha......"

"Hahaha...... Daddy, don't tickle. ”

Madame looked at this warm scene, the light in her eyes seemed to become more gentle, rippling in her eyes like water, and the smile on the corner of her mouth blew gently like a spring breeze.

As the convoy was moving slowly, twenty miles from the official road, there were steep hills on both sides.

A cliff top, which should have been lush with vegetation, has turned white because of the heavy snow.

There was a faint cacophony of human voices.

"I don't know what the big boss is talking about......"

"Don't worry, it's not the first time we've done this kind of thing. ”

On the snow, there were at least one hundred and eighty people, only a few of them were wearing thick winter coats, and most of them were wearing colorful clothes, and there were traces of sewing and mending all over their bodies.

The only difference between these people and refugees is their eyes, their ruthlessness and desperate madness, and their undisguised hunger.

Their eyes looked to the edge of the cliff in front of them, where three men stood, and indistinct words drifted intermittently along the bitter cold wind.

"Calculate the time...... In half an hour, the convoy of the Gongsun family will come. The speaker was a shrewd-looking middle-aged man, wearing clothes made of precious silk, wearing a jade wrench in his hand, and holding a folding fan, which can be described as extremely luxurious and coquettish.

"Hmmm......"

An urn sounded, and the sound of an urn echoed the sound.

"After this vote, I promised that the rest of our food must be handed over to us at once. ”

In addition, the two people who spoke looked very similar in appearance, they both looked tall and big, five big and three thick, and the difference was the demeanor and movements on the faces of the two.

Zhao Youcai's mouth spewed out a strong smell of wine, holding a tiger-headed knife in his hand, and holding a knife flower, as if he couldn't stop for a moment, walking around, looking at the direction of the official road in the distance from time to time.

Another person, Zhao Youfu, has a face full of traces of wind and frost, and his mouth is chapped, the only thing that makes people tremble a little is his eyes, like a ruthless lone wolf, fierce and ruthless.

"Don't worry, you still can't trust us?"

The middle-aged man 'whooped', unfolded the folding fan, revealing a picture of a tiger descending the mountain, fanning slightly in front of his chest, and said with a smile: "At this time, our people are estimated to have sent food to your village." ”

The man thought he was chic, but in the eyes of the other two, it was really contrived, wasn't it a cerebral convulsion that would fan himself on a snowy day?

The two mountain bandit leaders glanced at each other, and the big boss Zhao Youfu nodded slightly, and his tone was a little low and hoarse: "If you are sincere, we will naturally do things well." ”

As for the second master, Zhao Youcai was thinking about whether to pull off this person's clothes to warm his brothers, but this idea was also turned in his heart, although he was reckless, but it was not to the point where his brain was in water.

Zhao Youcai's bare thick arm waved violently, and the tiger-headed broadsword in his hand made a sharp whistling sound in mid-air, and his tone was a little resentful: "This winter is not good, if you want us to help you again, you must come out with enough sincerity, at least to meet the food that we can survive the winter." ”

At the same time, Zhao Youfu glanced at Brother One Hundred and Eighty in the distance, and continued: "Mr. Liang, look at what my group of brothers are wearing, not to mention the old and weak women and children in the village, it is still just the beginning of winter and can still rely on the food given this time to support it, but it will not take too long to only one month, and we may not know how many people will die in the village." ”

Zhao Youcai couldn't help but spit on the ground, and scolded angrily: "Damn the mountain character camp......"

It is not without reason that these two mountain bandit leaders and brothers sang and harmonized, and poured bitter water......

Some time ago, the Shanzi battalion didn't receive Lu Guangxin's military order to completely clean up the bandits and messy evil sects in Youzhou, and also ordered the other three battalions to cooperate with each other throughout the whole process, and there was also the help of Si Tianjian in this.

Although I have been busy for a few months, I have been running all the way, but the effect is also extremely significant. The bandits in the entire Youzhou territory can be said to have swept away most of the mountain bandits and evil sects under the day and night of an elite army of 100,000 people.

As for the small portion that remains...... The doorway is deep.

Youzhou, the most is the chamber of commerce behind the support of various famous families, and these chambers of commerce have fixed trade routes to other states, so the profession of mountain bandits is derived.

Most of them are led by powerful warriors, and most of them are doing long-term business, paying attention to harmony and making money, leaving a passing money, and making a lot of money back and forth.

It's just that some of this is funded by the big family, and the objects selected are generally more intelligent or simply reckless and unwise mountain bandits to cultivate, and they, as the financiers behind the scenes, will naturally let them do some shady things.

The actions of the Shanzi Battalion to suppress the bandits were mighty, and Zhao Youfu and the others could only abandon the original cottage and take the brothers to hide in the small mountain to avoid the limelight temporarily.

"The ...... of the other Treat me like a nurse?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he couldn't help but scold in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face, and the folding fan was blocked in front of his nose, and said, "Don't worry, we won't trade at a loss." ”

"After a while, you will all have to die...... the man sneered in his heart.

Zhao Youcai and Zhao Youfu glanced at each other and nodded tacitly.

Mr. Liang didn't care when he saw it, in his eyes these people were already dead, and they were the best scapegoats.

After a while, small blurry dots appeared in the distant wind and snow.

"Here we are...... It's coming,......," Zhao Youcai shouted.

"So fast?"

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned and said in some surprise.

You must know that the speed of the convoy in the wind and snow is indeed not fast, and they have already received accurate information from their side and come to arrange it in advance.

"Isn't it good to come early?" Zhao Youfu sneered.

The middle-aged man shook his head slightly, the handle of the fan turned on his fingertips, and said, "This matter must not be sloppy, you must be careful, be careful." ”

"Trouble ......"

Zhao Youcai couldn't help muttering.

The middle-aged man's face couldn't help but be gloomy, and he returned to his original state in an instant, turning his head to look at Zhao Youfu.

Zhao Youfu's weathered and fierce face noticed the middle-aged man's face, nodded slightly, and said, "The person is here, the rabbit should be coming soon." “

After a while, I saw a thin man with sharp hands and feet running from another place on the top of the mountain.

The big master, the second master, people are coming. “

The middle-aged man asked anxiously: "Is it that the convoy is divided into three sections, a total of twenty people, and the carriage in the middle is green." ”

The man named Rabbit first glanced at the two masters, the latter nodded and signaled, and then he said slowly: "The convoy is indeed divided into three sections, a total of twenty people, and the carriage is green. ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was relieved, turned his head to the two mountain bandits and said, "Then it will bother the two masters." ”

Zhao Youfu nodded and said to his younger brother Zhao Youcai: "Go and do something." ”

Zhao Youcai pulled out the tiger's head knife on the ground, resisted on his shoulder, spit on the ground with a "phew", waved his hand, and suddenly a hundred vicious mountain bandits behind him walked over quickly like hungry wolves, following behind the second master.

In the distance, the convoy was unaware of the impending danger.

In the carriage, the two children played for a while and then fell asleep.

Jiang Ru was holding an old book and reading it with relish, while Jiang was holding a needle and thread in his hand and knitting a black dress, which should be for two children.

"Oops~"

Jiang suddenly exhaled in pain.

"What's wrong, what's wrong......" Jiang Ru immediately put down the ancient book in his hand, nervously approached Jiang's side and asked anxiously.

"It's okay...... It's okay......"

Jiang Shi comforted Jiang Ru first at this time, and the gentle woman raised her finger, only to see a little drop of blood coming out of her white and tender finger, and her expression was slightly uneasy.

"I just suddenly felt a little panicked in my heart, and I felt that something bad was coming. “

Jiang Ru smiled, stretched out his hand and put Jiang's bleeding finger in his hand and sucked it, while saying vaguely: "Don't worry, nothing will happen to you here." ”

There was a moist and warm touch from the wound of the finger, which suddenly made Jiang's eyebrows shy, patted Jiang Ru's arm with disgust, and glanced at the two children who were still sleeping nervously, and inevitably breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she frowned slightly and asked:

"This time, several branches of Wujun's Gongsun family are suspected of being involved in the affairs of the former Chaoyin Division, and that Gongsun Yan was also demoted from his official position, but you made meritorious contributions during this period and rose to the side of the Mingjing Division of Shangdang County.

"You ...... Will they come to take revenge on you? ”

Jiang's tone was a little worried, after all, as a family that had stood in Youzhou for hundreds of years, even if it was a side lineage, it was definitely not comparable to these small families.

"Harm ......"

Jiang Ru looked at his wife's fingers and looked at her eyes after no longer bleeding, and said with relief: "Husbands are all acting in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Great Jin Dynasty, in fact, after verification, they do have nothing to do with Yin Si, Gongsun Yan's position as the general of guarding the city will fall off the horse, there are actions from all sides, and this is beyond the control of the husband." ”

Jiang Ru is not wrong about this. First of all, regarding the case of Yin Si, both the Spiegel Division and the Si Tianjian attach great importance to it, and the official assigned to review it will only let him take over after the investigation, so he will naturally act in accordance with the law.

As for the fall of the Gongsun family, it is none of their business, and they will not deliberately touch their brows in the open and secret battles of those big people.

As for Jiang Ru's promotion, it was just the right time, he had been working under Zhang Xianzong for several years, and there was no shortage of qualifications and experience.

Hearing her husband say this, Jiang's nervous beating heart lowered slightly, showed a smile, and just wanted to say something, when he heard a loud noise outside that shook the mountains.

Jiang Ru's eyebrows suddenly became sharp.
