When the messenger saw that Luo Tianchu had broken the sealing mud, he was frightened and said, "You...... How can you open the envelope! Isn't this my life!" Luo Tianchu put the letter back in the envelope, put it in his arms, and said, "Is it so serious?" The messenger almost burst into tears, and said: "Losing the front-line military report is a crime of killing your head! You killed me!" Luo Tianchu said apologetically: "I'm sorry, but this military report is very important to me, and I can't return it to you." The messenger of the Jin Kingdom said in frustration: "Even if you give it back to me, it is useless, opening the seal clay is a crime of killing my head, and I am already a dying person." Luo Tianchu said: "I'm sorry. The messenger of the Jin Kingdom shouted: "What's the use of apologizing!" Luo Tianchu said: "You don't understand what I mean, I apologize just because I want to kill you." The messenger stopped crying, looked at him in horror and said, "What did you say?" Luo Tianchu sighed: "If you are allowed to go, you will definitely go to the post station in front to report me, and Mu Han will also know that the letter is lost, and it will strengthen the guard, which is not good for our army." So the only way to kill you is to kill your mouth. The messenger of the Jin Kingdom had already guessed that he was an anti-thief, and quickly drew his saber to protect his body, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... Don't come here. Luo Tianchu stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, you will die without pain." With that, he swung his sword and slit his throat. Luo Tianchu didn't have time to bury the body, so he dragged it to the forest and hurried away on horseback.

A day later, I arrived at the border of Shaanxi, and there was only half a day's trip left from Tongguan. Ahead is the front line, where the soldiers have strengthened their vigilance, and all merchants and pedestrians are not allowed to enter. There was a fence between the roads, waist-high, and two soldiers were slacking off with guns. Eight other soldiers were enjoying the shade in the pergola in the rear, and a table was placed in the shed, piled with a dozen taels of broken silver, which were obtained by looting the people who passed by.

There was a pair of women who were collecting medicine with a medicine basket on their backs in the shed to be interrogated by Qi Bing, because they saw that their daughter was slightly beautiful, Qi Bing refused to let them go, their eyes were obscene, their words were obscene, and they begged for cheapness. The girl was sixteen or seventeen years old, delicate and beautiful, and hid behind her father, who dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he had to say New Year's greetings with a smiling face, took out the only one, two, or three coins and put them on the table, and begged the military master to let her go. Qi Bing didn't take this money in his eyes at all, and still kept teasing the girl.

Luo Tianchu rode his horse to arrive, and when he saw that the soldiers pushed down the old father, he smiled lewdly and pulled the girl into the forest, and before he entered the forest, he began to move his hands and feet. The girl trembled and burst into tears, but she had no courage to resist. The old father climbed up and hugged Qi Bing's trouser leg tightly, crying and begging, and was punched and kicked by Jin Bing, and his nose and face were swollen and his teeth fell out.

Luo Tianchu was furious, and drew his long sword on the spot and killed him. Before the soldiers behind the fence could stop, he had already lifted his horse over the fence, and the horse's hooves were right on the chest of one of them, and several ribs were broken. The other man was about to shout when the sword pierced his mouth. When the Qi soldiers in the pergola heard the movement, they turned their heads to see that their companions had been killed, and they were so shocked that they no longer had the heart to tease the girl, so they drew their weapons and rushed over.

There was a head-like figure wearing a round military cap, a gray military uniform, and a spear in his hand, and walked over violently, shouting angrily: "Where did you come from, dare to kill my brother!" Luo Tianchu jumped off his horse unhurriedly, held a sword in his hand, and said: "The bullying birdman is clean only when he is slaughtered." The nostrils of the leader of the Qi soldiers opened, exhaled two breaths of anger, and shouted, "Chop this kid." Behind him, two Qi soldiers rushed forward with guns, Luo Tianchu's body flashed through the gap as soon as he was short, and at the same time he heard two screams, one Qi soldier was stabbed in the middle abdomen, his intestines flowed to the ground, and the other had a wound in the back of his heart, and he took two steps and fell down.

The rest of the Qi soldiers were shocked, and the leader of the Qi soldiers saw that he was a master, and his attitude immediately relented, and said, "May I ask the pavilion...... Your Excellency's first name. Luo Tianchu wiped the blade of the sword on the corpse and said, "Luo Tianchu." Qi Bing was stunned on the spot, never dreaming that the young man in front of him was actually the leader of the bandits in Guanzhong. Although Luo Tianchu is famous, few people have seen his true face, and folklore says that he is a strong man similar to Zhang Fei. Qi Bing looked at each other a few times, and at the same time retreated backwards.

Luo Tianchu sneered: "Want to run?" The leader shouted: "!" But as soon as he took a step, the heads were already separated, and the headless corpse still ran a few steps before falling to his knees. The remaining seven Qi soldiers scattered and fled with a scream, Luo Tianchu picked up the stones on the ground, applied internal force to his hands, and threw five stones with a "whoosh", and the brains of the five heads that were smashed burst and fell to the ground. When he saw that there was no stone left on the ground, he threw his sword and stabbed one of them to death, and at the same time flew up to chase the last man. He chased in front of the Qi soldier with two ups and downs, and the Qi soldier stabbed with a spear, Luo Tianchu grabbed the gun and broke it, and held the half of the spear tip to pierce the Qi soldier's Tianling cover.

After all was solved, Luo Tianchu retrieved the long sword and put it in the scabbard. The father and daughter hugged each other in fright, trembling all over. Less than a cup of tea is ten lives, and it's no wonder that they are not afraid. Luo Tianchu squatted beside them and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. If you don't kill them all, they will come to trouble you in the future, so you can take this money and live a good life. He took out the money bag, handed it all to his father, and said, "Let's go." ”

The girl dared to say, "You...... Are you Luo Tianchu?" Luo Tianchu smiled and said, "Yes, I am Luo Tianchu." The girl said, "That...... Then will we meet again in the future?" Luo Tianchu smiled and said: "Little sister, in the future, we will be separated, but I am afraid it will be difficult." The girl said, "I...... We actually don't plan to go far, with this money we can go to Chang'an to do some small business, no one in Chang'an will bully us, right?" Luo Tianchu smiled: "Whoever wants to bully you will report my name." The girl said happily: "Then my father and I will open a medical center in Chang'an, and you can come to see us when you are free." Luo Tianchu was ready to leave, got up and said, "Okay." ”

As soon as she took a few steps, the girl said again: "You don't know my name, how do you find me?" Luo Tianchu had no choice but to turn around and ask, "Please ask the girl's name?" The girl said: "My name is Ling Zhi'er, and the medicine people who know me call me 'Lingzhi'." You can call me that, too. Luo Tianchu nodded and said, "Okay, Lingzhi girl, we will have a meeting later." "Say goodbye, fly on the horse, and go away.

After he left, the father and daughter of the Ling family also set off slowly, and Ling's father asked, "Zhi'er, are you really true what you just said? Are we really going to Chang'an?" Ling Zhi'er said: "Dad, didn't you hear him say that no one will bully us in Chang'an, otherwise where can we go? Father Ling said: "We can go further west, the land of Sichuan and Shaanxi is rich in medicinal materials, and it is where we go." Ling Zhi'er shook her head and said, "I'm not going." Father Ling was puzzled: "Why?" Ling Zhi'er looked at the direction Luo Tianchu had left and said, "Because I want to see him again." ”

Along the way, there were a total of five sentry posts set up by Qi soldiers, and Luo Tianchu forced them all through in order to save time. Whoever tries to intercept it becomes a ghost under the sword. Qi soldiers are also Han Chinese, Luo Tianchu felt sorry for his companions who helped him, and he hoped to kill a few Jin soldiers. It's just that the Jurchens serve as the elite in the army, and the task of checking posts like this is entrusted to the Qi soldiers with the weakest combat effectiveness.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Luo Tianchu finally saw the camp of the Jin soldiers. Seven camps are located on the vast plain, two camps in front, three camps in the middle, two camps in the rear, 50 zhang apart between the villages, the whole village is not crowded when going out of the village, and it is closely connected together. The trees in a radius of miles were all cut down, and the army that wanted to sneak up on them had no way to hide, and they didn't want to attack with fire. Before nightfall, the lights in the seven villages were already bright, and the soldiers buried the pots to make rice, and hundreds of light smoke rose. To Luo Tianchu's surprise, there was no one in the camp of the 100,000 army who made a loud noise, and the soldiers acted in an orderly manner, patrolling and guarding, cooking and eating, feeding the horses, and practicing with their own responsibilities and abiding by military discipline. Such an army, coupled with a commander like Stickyhan, would be a nightmare for all enemies. (To be continued.) )
