Shuiyun County, the poorest county in Ye Kingdom.

The further west you go, the more desolate it becomes, and in the end it even reaches the point where there are no people in a radius of 100 miles.

In the westernmost part of Shuiyun County, there is a city pass standing between the ravines, which is considered a medium-sized city, which is several levels lower than the Huling Pass in the northeast of Ye Kingdom.

And the name of this city is Humaguan.

This is the northwest gateway of the Mingwu Empire, and it is the only city in the Ye Kingdom that can be used to defend the northwest barbarians.

In the two hundred years since the founding of the Ye Kingdom, in these two hundred years, it is such a small city with a permanent population of less than 100,000, but there are many Ye Guoerlang who have spent their lives here.

The city is broken, and people die, and the wife and daughter of the ancient road cry and break their bowels.

Since ancient times, I have only seen Lang Jun go west, and he has seen Lang Jun return to the east.

Perhaps in the past two hundred years, the people of other vassal states have only seen the ferocity and brutality of the people of Ye.

In the distant south of the empire, in the mouths of the so-called Qingliu celebrities, they even directly called Ye people savages.

It's just that these people never seem to have thought that if there was no Ye State, if there was no Ye people's sacrifice of life and death, today's Northwest Frontier would no longer be the northwest of the Mingwu Empire, but would have become a springboard for the Northwest Barbarians and even the Northwest Gumo Kingdom to attack the Central Plains.

At that time, the people of the Central Plains would live in the shadow of the iron hooves of the barbarians in the northwest, just like the people of Shuiyun County today.

But there are no ifs in this world, and they have not seen how bloody and tragic the war with the barbarians is.

The northwest is still the northwest, it is still a bitter cold place in the eyes of the world, and it is still a wild land in the eyes of the world.

On the official road leading to Humaguan, a horse-drawn carriage drove slowly and leisurely, driven by a young man, and his wife and daughter were seated in the car.

Because of last night's heart-to-heart conversation, the relationship between the husband and wife has obviously eased, and the weather is not cold today, Gong Limo opened the curtain tent, and sat on the side of the carriage and chatted with Chu Yujia, who was driving.

Chu Yujia was very happy about this, as long as Gong Limo could say the topic, he would be able to pick it up.

They didn't want to run errands, to put it bluntly, they just went out for an outing, Gong Limo wanted to take a look at the road Chu Yujia had walked before, and Chu Yujia also wanted Gong Limo to come out and relax.

Just as the carriage was moving slowly, I suddenly saw a large group of people approaching.

This team of people with black armor and white robes with red tassels on their heads is obviously dressed up in the Ye army, and the number of this Ye army is at least 500 people, and the leader is in his early thirties.

Xiao Yao'er just glanced at it, and then hid behind her mother.

After this person came over, he stopped the team, and his eyes were always on Gong Limo's body, never turning away.

Gong Limo's beauty is not a bewitching beauty, nor is it Qi Qing's pure and beautiful beauty, her beauty comes from her bones.

There is a good saying, beauty is in the bones, not in the skin.

The beauty of Gong Limo is on the word 'Jiao', and there is always an indescribable atmosphere on his body, which is very attractive.

At this time, he rode out from behind the man, came to the side of the vicious man, pointed at Chu Yujia, and said angrily, "My lord, it's him, it's him who saved the group of bandits, I think he and the group of bandits are in the same group." ”

This vicious man himself was already ill-intentioned, and when he heard this at this time, his demeanor also became fierce, his eyes were like electricity, and he looked back and forth on Chu Yujia and Gong Limo's bodies.

Chu Yujia didn't speak, although Gong Limo was very uncomfortable with the other party's extremely disgusting eyes, he didn't speak, and put down the curtain and returned to the car.

The man who had no scenery to see was unhappy, squinted his eyes, and asked in a cold voice: "You robbed that group of bandits?"

Not to mention anything else, judging from this man's attitude, Chu Yujia had already guessed his identity almost, and said expressionlessly: "I saved a few people last night, but they are not bandits, but ordinary people. ”

"Presumptuous. ”

"How dare you question the lord of this city?"

Hearing this, Chu Yujia raised his eyes, smiled on his face, and asked, "May I ask who this adult is......?"

"This official is the city lord of Humaguan, Qi Heng!"

As he spoke, the wicked man held the reins in one hand and the handle of his saber in the other.

"It turned out to be the Lord of Qi City, and he looked up for a long time. ”

Chu Yujia sat on the carriage and arched his hand, not intending to get off at all.

Seeing this, Qi Heng's face was full of surprise, and then he smiled and said, "I know the name of the city lord, why don't you get off your horse and kneel down and salute?"

"Let me kneel?"

Chu Yujia rolled his eyes and said, "Are you worthy?"

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing this, Qi Heng smiled even brighter: "At the beginning, the subordinates of the city lord said that you were crazy, and the city lord didn't believe it, thinking that they were exaggerating, but when I saw it today, it was really crazy, don't you know how to write dead words?"

"I'm afraid I don't know how to write dead words, it's you......"

Chu Yujia didn't speak, the voice came from the carriage, and this was said by Gong Limo.

What is Gong Limo's identity?

The daughter of Prime Minister Gong Qingdang and Princess Pingyang, the niece of King Ye Zhao Yan, and the lord of Danyang of Ye State.

Although she was also relegated to the fiefdom of Danyang County because of the involvement of the Chu family, she was not so downtrodden that a city lord could bully her.

What's more, now that Chu Yujia's status in Ye Guo is rising, he is no longer guilty, with the current power and status of the two of them, there is really no one in Ye Guo that they can't afford to provoke.

Hearing this, Qi Heng was a little surprised, thinking that this little woman was quite temperamental, so he couldn't help but look into the car, sneered and said: "Wild enough, and personality enough, I like it, I hope you can enter the city tonight, and you can still have such sharp teeth." ”

In this northwest, Chu Qianwen's family was suppressed and couldn't raise their heads, and the northwest system established by Chu Qianwen in the past 20 years was also burned.

Nowadays, the figures in the northwest officialdom can almost be said to be doing all kinds of evil, and it is not unheard of to rob women from good families in broad daylight.

Some time ago, this girl also fell in love with a girl from the next county, snatched the person back to Humaguan, and the overlord forced the bow, and then threw it into the pro-military camp of the city lord's mansion, the girl could not withstand repeated humiliation, and took advantage of the guard's inattention to pierce the throat with chopsticks.

When the girl's family knew that the news was coming, they were beaten badly, and the girl's father was so angry that he died at the gate of the city lord's mansion.

For this kind of thing, when I see the people, I can only sigh, an official is no different from a bandit.

also missed the general surnamed Chu more and more, and at the same time became even more disappointed in the royal court.

"Presumptuous!"

Gong Limo's cold voice also carried anger.

It's just that she has been taught too well since she was a child, and she really can't think of any ugly words, and she can't even scold a bastard.

Gong Limo said to Chu Yujia with a little resentment: "He talks to your wife like this, you can still sit still?"

"Can't sit still. ”

Chu Yujia glanced back at the curtain tent, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, he jumped off the carriage, looked up at Na Qi Hengdao: "I'm a person, I actually have a good temper, but I just can't accept three things, one is that someone is bullying the people in front of me, and the other is showing off in front of me, but these two points are actually not important, the point I really hate the most, the idea of wanting to beat the people I care about." ”

"I'm sorry, you made all three mistakes. ”

Hearing this, Qi Heng snorted, dismissing Chu Yujia's words, and sneered: "What if the city lord commits all three points, even if the city lord takes your wife back to the city to play with it, what can you do with the city lord, today my five hundred cavalry is here, what can you do with me?"

"If you know each other, get out of here obediently, I can spare your life, otherwise, tomorrow on the merit list, you will be just a bandit." ”

"If you don't say it, I don't even know you're so powerful?"

Chu Yujia raised his eyebrows, as if he knew about this for the first time, and then looked at Qi Heng in front of him with a mocking face and said, "Five hundred cavalry, even if it is fifty thousand iron cavalry here today, it will not delay me to kill you!"

When the words fell, Chu Yujia suddenly burst out, kicked the ground with one foot, and the person jumped more than two meters in the air.

Qi Heng reacted quickly, and when he saw Chu Yujia jumping into the air, he suddenly pulled out his saber from his waist and slashed it at Chu Yujia's head.

But compared to Chu Yujia's skills, it can really be said that there is a heaven and an earth.

I saw Chu Yujia's hand leaning forward like a spiritual snake, and before Qi Heng could react, his saber was already in Chu Yujia's hand.

"Ahh

Qi Heng was shocked.

Just as he was about to flee, Chu Yujia grabbed the armor on his shoulder and threw it outward.

Qi Heng's body, which was no less than one hundred and eighty catties, was thrown by Chu Yujia with one hand.

The person was still in mid-air, Chu Yujia's figure followed closely, and when it was still flying upside down in mid-air, Chu Yujia raised his leg and kicked it from the sky to the ground.

This time, Qi Heng, who was still able to show off his martial arts just now, where is there still the appearance of the majestic city lord, not to mention the blood spurting from his mouth and nose, and the armor on his body is also in tatters.

Chu Yujia stepped on Qi Heng's chest with one foot and said, "In the next life, you have to remember that if you don't have much ability, you should come out less to show off, otherwise it will be bad to lose your life." ”

When the words fell, Chu Yujia had already raised his foot, and before Qi Heng could react, he stepped on his head.

Qi Heng's head exploded like a watermelon, and the red and white splashed far away.

As if nothing had happened, Chu Yujia wiped the dirt on his shoes with the cloak on Qi Heng's back, and then returned to the carriage and said, "Daughter-in-law, let's go and look at the rivers and lakes, and then see!"

Chu Yujia drove the carriage away in front of the five hundred light horsemen as if he was fine.

No one in the audience spoke, completely frightened by Chu Yujia's hand.

Qi Heng was born in the army, and his skills are already good, and someone once commented on this general, who is not resourceful enough, has more than enough bravery, and has the strength of the three grades, but the army can take the head of the general.

But today, this man's head was crushed by a guy who didn't know whose name was.
