The next day, when Xie Tong woke up, the sky was already gray and bright, Xie Tong stretched his muscles and bones, due to the reason of the wind and food and dew, he found that his whole body was sore, he was very unaccustomed to this kind of wild life, the fire was still very strong, obviously Xiang Chengzhi added wood, Xie Tong got up, and found that Xiang Chengzhi came from a distance, carrying two hares in his hands.

Xie Tong affirmed his opinion even more, only soldiers can get used to this kind of life and be able to find real objects from the wild.

Xiang Chengzhi skillfully peeled the hare and roasted it in the fire, and Xie Tong stepped forward to help. By daybreak, the hare was roasted and had an enticing aroma. Wang Wanru and Xiaoshuang walked out of the carriage.

Xiaoshuang said, "Miss, look, Commander Xiang, Uncle Xiang roasted game!"

Xiang Chengzhi glared at Xiaoshuang.

Wang Wanru hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "Gongzi Xie was okay with yesterday's rest!"

Xiaoshuang had already said that she had already leaked her mouth, and Xie Tong was even more sure of her opinion. He pretended not to know and said, "Thank you for your concern, it's okay!", and then asked, "Brother Xiang, what realm is ahead?"

Xiang Chengzhi said embarrassedly, "After walking for most of the day, it should be Xitong County."

Xiaoshuang said mischievously, "How can there be such a weird name?"

Xiang Chengzhi seemed to have changed into a person, his eyes glowed with an unconcealable expression, and he said, "Xitong County was originally known as Xixian County, and later the county was renamed Xitong County because of its abundance of copper mines."

Wang Wanru said: "Hurry up and eat! Gongzi Xie still has to hurry!"

Several people ate the hare and continued to hurry, this time Xie Tong did not sit in the carriage and sat next to Xiang Chengzhi. He inquired about the origin of this group several times, and finally endured it.

After noon, the road gradually fell into the dust, the strange thing is that there were no pedestrians along the way, Xie Tong was bored, this long trip, far less leisurely than the previous times.

When the carriage reached a fork in the road, it suddenly neighed, and Xiang Chengzhi pulled the reins of the horse violently to stop the horse's riot.

I saw more than a dozen people rushing out of the front and back, showing their swords, and surrounding the carriage, there is no doubt that this is a group of bandits, seeing that the front and back roads are blocked, Xiang Chengzhi glanced at Xie Tong solemnly.

The leader of one of the horse thieves said, "Leave the horses and vehicles, but you can wait for a way to live."

Xie Tongxin commanded, just a few bandits, and they dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head. He was still sitting in the carriage and signaled Xiang Chengzhi not to be afraid.

Wang Wanru's voice came, "What happened?"

Xie Tong said directly, "Miss, don't worry, it's just a few bandits."

When she first heard the bandits, Wang Wanru was so frightened that she didn't dare to make a sound.

The leader of the bandits scolded, "Are you deaf, go and drive them down for me." ”

Xie Tong was just about to make a move, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a few people behind the bandits, and he was really surprised. These two people are actually the eldest and second eldest of the two evils, and Cao Pingyang is also there.

Xie Tong complained in his heart, what he was worried about finally happened, it was more than enough for him to escape alone, but the three masters and servants would not be spared, so they could only pray that the other party would not recognize him, take the vehicle and horses, and let a few people go.

Xiang Chengzhi was at a loss when he saw Cao Pingyang coming from behind.

Xie Tong said softly, "Brother Xiang, give the carriage to them, let's leave here for the time being." Then he said to Wang Wanru, "Miss, let's get out of the car." He shoved the green steel sword under the carriage.

Cao Pingyang walked over from far and near, saw a few people, and laughed, "It's really a narrow road, I didn't expect that your master and servant got a horse again, and there are really some means!"

Xie Tong motioned to a few people to be silent, got out of the car, and walked out slowly. Just a few steps away, the bandit leader suddenly said, "Slow, this chick is good, stay and be my wife!"

Wang Wanru heard that her delicate body trembled, and she ran away, Xie Tong grabbed her and signaled her not to panic, the master and servant stared at Xie Tong directly, and Xiaoshuang scolded even more, "Xie Yuan, let go of my young lady, you won't die well."

The second child who practiced double evil smiled and said, "Master Fan Zhai is really blessed, I just caught a little girl with a sign a few days ago, and now I have caught another one, which is really enviable." ”

Fan Zhai said with a lewd smile, "Let Brother Meng laugh, my old Fan is alone, and he has no preferences, except for this woman", everyone laughed.

Fan Zhai said, "I'm tied up the mountain."

Xie Tong and Xiang Chengzhi were locked in a dilapidated cell in the cottage.

Xiang Chengzhi scolded, "Because I admired you so much before, you are a coward."

Xie Tong smiled helplessly and didn't make a sound. 、

Xiang Chengzhi continued to scold: "Things that are greedy for life and afraid of death, knowing you is simply blind to me." ”

Xie Tong ignored him, he was thinking about how to escape, and unknowingly rescued their master and servant.

Xiang Chengzhi scolded for a long time, tired of scolding, and didn't speak, but he still glared at Xie Tong angrily.

After being locked in the cell for a day and a night, a thief finally came and opened the door, scolding, "My owner is in a good mood, let you live, get out!"

Xiang Chengzhi asked, "Where is my young lady?"

The bandit smiled and said, "Return your young lady, from tomorrow night onwards, we will be the wife of the owner of the village." Get out of here, don't be wordy here".

A few more minions came, and the two were directly driven out of the cottage, and the maidservant Xiaoshuang was also driven out at the same time.

Xiang Chengzhi wanted to go back desperately, but was pulled by Xie Tong.

Xiang Chengzhi scolded again, "Greedy for life and afraid of death, Lao Tzu doesn't want to see you, get out of me."

Xiaoshuang also glared at Xie Tong.

Originally, Xie Tong had a very good impression of this strong man, he scolded him all night yesterday, he didn't react, and this time he scolded him again, Xie Tong couldn't help but say, "Brother Xiang, with you alone, going back is tantamount to sending death, the top priority is to hurry up and move the rescuers, otherwise your young lady will really become the wife of the owner of the village." ”

Xiang Chengzhi stayed where he was, he knew that Xie Tong's words were right, and hurriedly ran away, Xiaoshuang followed behind the strong man.

Xie Tong watched him go away, and said in his heart, what a fool. He didn't pay attention to Xiang Chengzhi and the others, but secretly returned to the cottage.

The cottage was brightly lit, and Xie Tong entered from the wall and briefly looked around the cottage. In the middle of the cottage was a hall, with the stables on the left and the barracks on the right, and the cell where he had just spent the night was at the back of the hall, next to the granary. Behind the barracks were several houses, presumably where the owner of the village lived. It is estimated that there are about 1,000 people in the whole Dazhai.

There was laughter in the hall from time to time, and Xie Tong secretly entered the stable, he had to find the green steel sword first. As he expected, Wang Wanru's carriage was still outside the stable, and Xie Tong hurriedly stretched out his hand to the bottom of the carriage, and to his delight, the sword was still there. Xie Tong hung the sword on his waist and approached the hall, and the words in the hall came out word for word.

Fan Zhai said, "Fan someone salutes all heroes, the arrival of all heroes really makes this village shine and do it."

Everyone drank it all, and the second child of Henglian Villa smiled and said, "Master Fan Zhai is a double happiness! Not only did I get to know Senior Cao and Pei Gongzi, but I also got a beauty, which made people envious." ”

Fan Zhai said with a smile, "That's the reason why the second village master practices the iron cloth shirt, if the second village master scatters his skills, the beauty is not a lot!"

The second owner of the village said angrily, "Speaking of this kung fu, Lao Tzu is angry, but I pity my eldest brother, and all his cultivation has been abolished by Xie Tong."

Pei Xiangru said, "It's Xie Tong again, this kid is pretending to be stupid, it's really weird, Pei and Cao's predecessors are in trouble so far, it's not this kid's doing." The second owner of the village does not have to be sad, with Cao's predecessors here, he will definitely be able to avenge the big owner. ”

The owner of the village said, "With Senior Cao here, it will be more than enough to clean up Xie Tong." But with the shrewdness of the two, how could they fall for Xie Tong's way?"

Pei Xiangru said, "It's not this kid who is pretending to spread the news"

Cao Pingyang snorted coldly, and Pei Xiangru suddenly stopped making a sound.

The owner of Fan Zhai stammered, "Please also ask Pei Gongzi to come."

Cao Pingyang said lightly, "The old man has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and he has been calculating others, but this time he was deceived by Xie Tong, fell for his tricks, and was misunderstood by Huang Chao, so he was chased and killed, and he fell into trouble so far." He didn't call Huang Chao a general, obviously because Huang Chao had lost his former intimacy, and instead of resentment.

The second owner continued, "This kid is really hateful, if it falls into my hands, he will definitely peel his skin and cramp to vent his hatred."

Pei Xiangru said, "If you want to clean up Xie Tong, are you afraid that you won't have a chance?"

Fan Zhai said, "Please also ask Pei Gongzi to make it clear." ”

Pei Xiangru sat lazily on the chair, took a sip of wine, and said, "Pei heard the news along the way, Zhu Wen led the army to chase all the way, and Xie Tong also went with the army and has arrived at the front line in Yingzhou." If we can lure him to come to Xitong Ancient Village, then we can close the door and beat the dogs and catch turtles in the urn. ”

The second owner of the village was puzzled, "This is the Tang Army's sphere of influence, and he won't dare to come over with his heavenly courage."

Cao Pingyang said, "Everyone underestimated Xie Tong, this person is brave and strategic, and he values love and righteousness, he once went to the Shang study room guarded by the immortal to steal things, how could he be a brave person." As far as I know, Xie Tong is at odds with Datuk and others, and Datuk has long had the intention of getting rid of him, and he will not stay long in the rebel army. As long as the owner of Fan Zhai spreads the news, saying that Xie Tong is a spy of the Tang Army, he will ensure that he has no place to stand. ”

After all, the second owner of the village is not a fool, he said half-convinced, "I'm afraid that with the prestige of the owner of Fan Zhai and the contemptible people, I am afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to believe it." ”

Pei Xiangru said, "What's so difficult about this, although it is a rumor, but it will come true after a long time, after I and Cao seniors return to Chang'an, we will open up the relationship and give the owner of the village a half-official position, as long as the owner of the village can be loyal to the imperial court, the owner of the village will become a general! ”

Everyone was having a drink.

When Xie Tong heard this, he felt that this plan was vicious, he and Pei Xiangru and the others had no deep hatred, how could Pei Xiangru be so ruthless.
