Section 13: The Ease of Life and Death

When the sun set, Yingguiquan and Liu Chengmin wanted to return to Yangzhou together, and the two Tianhui brothers sent a ride on behalf of their father, and the eldest brother Tianmin also insisted on sending each other when he heard about it. Before everyone got out of the stockade, someone caught up behind. The person who came was Xiao Sangong Ming and Shaur, and Ren Yong and the two hurried over.

Xiao San caught up and said with a smile: "The old lady said, it is inconvenient to walk at night, and there are often wild wolves in the countryside. ”

Gong Ming said and handed over the matching swords of the Tianqi brothers.

Ren Tianmin looked back and saw that Shaur and the two of them were carrying short knives at their waists, holding long knives and maces, and said with a smile: "Isn't this really going to fight wolves, why are you taking these guys?

Shaur smiled: "The little one is still the guy in this hand who is used to it, and he is used to it." ”

Yingguiquan looked at a few people and said with a smile: "How could Brother Tianqi have the tartars on the grassland? Could it be that he has been to the grassland to fight?"

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "My lord, I have indeed been to the grassland Tatar Department with the old prince a few times, and I have implemented the grassland reduction strategy. ”

Mr. Big looked back and smiled: "Hey, what is the Ding reduction strategy, what is the Ding reduction strategy?" ”

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "The Jurchens used to boast of their high riding skills and strong mounts, and they were known to have a hundred horsemen into an army and ten thousand horsemen into a country. I don't want all the tribes of the grassland to live on horseback all their lives, the horses are excellent, the riding skills are invincible in the world, and the people on the grassland are simple and honest, and they are loyal to the leader and the tribe. The Jurchens were quite jealous, and from the year when the gold lord Wanyan Liang was in power, the Dajin State implemented a strategy of reducing the number of tribes in the grassland. Every three years, a large army is sent into the grass courtyard, and a group of people are arrested and killed by the larger grassland tribes such as the Luotatar tribe, the Taizhi Wu tribe, and the Naiban tribe, and the people who are captured and killed are all light and strong men and women, so as to suppress the excessive prosperity of the people of the grasslands. Every time the grassland tribes heard that the Jin army had entered the grassland, their souls were scattered, and they were miserable. ”

Mr. Big said: "This Wan Yan Liang is also a master who dares to be the first in the world, and if he can come up with such a despicable and lowly trick, sooner or later he will be punished by heaven!"

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "That's right, what Mr. Big said is true, this Yan Liang Jin Lord was killed by his fellow clans within a few years of ascending the throne, and even the imperial tomb was not able to enjoy the burial and mass graves, which can be regarded as retribution from heaven." However, the triennial grassland reduction strategy has been implemented to the letter. ”

Yingguiquan was speechless for a long time, and turned back to Ren Tianmin and said: "Lord Ren, I didn't expect that the Jurchens had such far-reaching vision, and they had the ambition to map the world, and in order to prevent a fire in the backyard, they made such a ruthless move. It's just that this Jurchen people are not as clever as the Han people, but they don't know that attacking the heart is the top, and attacking the city is the bottom; before Kong Ming had gone south to capture Meng Shu seven times, and compared his heart with his heart, so that he could be stable after decades of Xishu. Now that the Jurchens are so perverse, I am afraid that in less than 20 years, the various tribes of the grassland will be incompatible with Dajin. I, the Great Song Dynasty, can join forces with all the tribes of the grassland, and attack back and forth in an attempt to recover the old soil. ”

Ren Tianmin said with a smile: "My lord is wise, but I am humble and light, and the court may not accept it." ”

Yingguiquan smiled and said: "Whether or not to accept the letter is a matter for the court, and it is the foundation of the minister if you don't go to the book." ”

Yingguiquan turned back to Ren Tianqi and smiled: "Brother Tianqi has a lot of knowledge in the grassland, and when he is free in the future, this official will ask for more advice." ”

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "Listen to the orders of the adults below, and you will definitely follow the work of dogs and horses." ”

Yingguiquan nodded and smiled, and said, "Brother Tianqi is coming back this time, I don't know what plans you have in the future? Do you want to develop in the army and get a half-official position?"

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "I haven't thought about it now, I should listen to the opinions of my father and my brothers before making a decision." ”

Yingguiquan smiled: "That's." If Brother Tianqi really wants to serve in the army, this official will definitely help. Brother Tai was not under Brother Ling before, so it's a pity not to join the army. ”

Everyone sent Yingguiquan to the edge of Guangling County, and the two sides broke up and went their separate ways.

When night falls, the bright moon hangs high, and the snow reflects the moonlight, like day, and the four are white. The road has long been dripping into ice, and it is unusually slippery. The horses were moving on the slopes, not daring to go too fast, and the sound of the horses' hooves was particularly alarming and loud. Ren Tianqi's brother and the three of them drove together.

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "Big brother, do you know that when Zhujiazhuang attacked the two villages a few days ago, the officials and soldiers also participated?"

Ren Tianmin shook his head and said, "Brother, don't talk nonsense. It's a head-off thing. Besides, we're not enemies of the court. ”

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "The eldest brother is too naïve, this Zhujiazhuang has already colluded with Yu Huaicheng and the adult, and in private it has already been said that it will be divided afterwards." Besides, who is the commander of the Guangling garrison, it is Qu Chengxun. Who is Qu Chengxun, Yu Huaicheng's brother-in-law. ”

Ren Tianmin nodded and said with a smile: "This eldest brother knows that I went to Qu Chengxun's Mansion in Guangling to send a birthday gift in the afternoon, but I collided with a major event. What do you know what's the big deal?"

Ren Tianqi knew that the eldest brother and they went to Guangling to steal.

Ren Tianhui didn't know, and hurriedly said, "What's going on?"

Ren Tianmin said: "During the day, someone sneaked into Qu Chengxun's mansion to steal money, and Qu Mansion strengthened its protection after knowing about it. I was about to come back from dinner, and a group of masked people broke into Qu Chengxun's house, washed up all the congratulatory gifts, and beat Qu Chengxun violently. ”

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "Such a corrupt official, he deserves this!"

Ren Tianmin said with a smile: "How did my brother know about this, how did he know that the officials and soldiers were involved?"

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the eldest brother, the younger brother has been a person in the seven doors for two years under Lord Lin Mushan, and this little thing can still be easily inquired about." ”

Ren Tianmin nodded and said with a smile: "I see." The brother is really good, and the eldest brother is not as good as himself. ”

Ren Tianhui said: "Before Yu Huaicheng came together, I felt that it was not very good, it turned out to be a fox on a hill. But I heard from Lord Ying that Yu Huaicheng is a good official, he usually does not accept bribes, extorts and extorts the people, and he also has a good reputation for being a politician, which is obvious to all. In the end, people's misunderstanding of him may be because he has an insatiable uncle Qu Chengxun!"

Ren Tianmin nodded.

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "The common people often say that there is the most shameless industry in the world, being an official and making a record! If you have money, you are a master, and if you have a milk, you are a mother! ”

The crowd was speechless. Ren Tianhui, the uncle next to him, happened to be an official, Ren Tianqi saw that what he said was a little too much, stuck out his tongue, and didn't dare to say much.

Everyone walked a little further, and Ren Tianmin said: "It's not too early, I'm afraid it's almost dawn when we go back to the village, let's take a closer road, and save an hour along the way." How?"

Ren Tianqi smiled: "Listen to the eldest brother, which way to go?"

Ren Tianmin said: "Change to Jiaodang all the way, that is, the road is smaller, how about it?"

Everyone nodded, and under the leadership of Ren Tianmin, they took the trail and took a shortcut.

About the second watch, the bright moon was already rising, and a group of six Pegasus galloped across the fields and walked between the villages.

While walking, I suddenly saw the courtyard of a large family in front of me with bright lights, and there was a lot of beating, scolding and shouting.

Six people stood still. Ren Tianqi looked at the two brothers and said, "Do you want to go over and take a look?

Ren Tianmin frowned and said, "It looks like this is an old friend of mine here, what will happen today!"

Ren Tianhui urged him to step forward and said, "It's not the old man, how can I wait to see death and not save it, and stand by and watch!"

Xiao San caught up and whispered to Ren Tianqi: "Master, it's not early in the middle of the night, don't meddle in your affairs, and go back to your family as soon as possible." ”

Ren Tianqi smiled: "It's not in the way, let's go over and take a look." Saving people is just a matter of effort!"

Everyone hurriedly urged the horses to the house, broke in and saw that several thieves had come to rob in the middle of the night, tied up all the people of the family, and were extortion.

The six of them rushed forward to fight, dispersed the thieves, and saved the next family, but everyone was already injured.

Ren Tianmin got up and said, "You wait to go back first, big brother, I will stay and take care of here." ”

Ren Tianhui said: "I'm afraid the eldest brother alone is not at ease, what if those gangsters come back?"

Ren Tianmin said with a smile: "Just their three-legged cat, where is my opponent of Ren Jiajian, it's okay, you go back, go out and follow the road all the way to Dongtoubao." When you get there, you are less than ten miles from home, and you know the way. ”

Ren Tianqi and the others didn't say much, so they came out and got on their horses and galloped.

All the way speechless in a blink of an eye came to a small wood, in the dead of night, everyone rode on the grassland horses, stepping on the snow like flying. It was cold and cold, and everyone was buried behind the horse's head, blocking the biting cold wind.

As he was walking, he suddenly saw a rope suddenly rising in the snow in front of him to block the way.

Ren Tianqi's horse is named Huang Chenqianli, which is a BMW, and it is a good horse that was rescued by the old prince and given by the gold owner. Ren Tianqi is driving hand in hand with Ren Tianhui. Ren Tianhui's horse failed to see the rope flying up on the road ahead, rushed up in one step, and fell out with a thud, fortunately, the uncle was extraordinary, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he had already thrown up and jumped out on horseback, and he had a heel in the air, and the sword in his hand had been pulled out, and he shouted: "Brother, be careful, there is a tripping rope!"

Ren Tianqi sat down with Huang Chen's clairvoyance, and suddenly saw a rope in front of him, and suddenly raised his hooves and raised his neck. Ren Tianqi is good at equestrianism, although he was thinking about something all the way, he suddenly saw that there was a situation in front of him, so he hurriedly flew up on the back of a stacked cloud, and pressed the scabbard, and the bamboo sword was already out of the sheath.

Ren Tianqi looked around, and saw more than a dozen figures at the intersection, some pulling ropes, some opening bows and arrows, and there were three horses standing at the intersection in front of him, waiting quietly and watching.

I saw seven or eight people rushing out from both sides of the intersection, each raising their swords and guns, but they didn't answer, but rushed over with their legs and raised their swords and guns to kill. A few bow-bearers next to him also shot arrows like a rain of arrows at the crowd.

Fortunately, the three of them have been in the killing field for a long time, and they have a lot of experience in dodging arrow feathers, so they are busy flashing sideways, and Xiao San jumped off the horse and rolled on the spot with a sword and rushed to the person who released the arrows.

Ren Tianqi saw that everyone was unharmed, his body in the air turned, the spotted bamboo sword was out, and the sword in his hand had already split two or three people, and the three people immediately rushed towards the front.

Uncle Ren Tianhui was already standing in front of the three horses with a horizontal sword, and said angrily: "Who are you waiting for, who dares to assassinate Uncle Ben?"

Ren Tianqi had already rushed forward with a single sword, and without a sound, his hand was the thirty-six type black water lightning sword, but with three moves, the three people on the opposite side had just returned their hands, and they had already killed two and injured one.

Ren Tianqi raised his sword to eliminate the right arm of one of the undead ones, took him off the horse with one kick, stepped forward and stepped on the other, and took the sword to the man's chest.

Ren Tianhui hurriedly said: "Brother, stay alive!"

Ren Tianqi looked up and saw that Xiao San and the three of them had already killed those people who had set up an ambush, and they were in a hurry, but the three of them were not injured, so they hurriedly withdrew and kicked the man, put away the bamboo sword, and said, "Tell me quickly, who instructed you and others to come to plot against the master." ”

Ren Tianhui saw that the man's right arm was broken, so he hurriedly pointed out a few key points on his body, stopped the bleeding first, and then helped him up and sat down.

The man was already baring his teeth and cracking his mouth in pain, and his whole body was trembling.

Ren Tianhui said: "This friend, you can rest assured, we will not kill you." Ren Tianhui in Xia Guangling, this is my brother Ren Tianqi. As long as you tell who assigned it, I will give you a life. ”

The man snorted coldly, opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of phlegm, and said with a smile: "If it falls into your hands, I think I am unlucky." If you want to kill, you have to chop, whatever. ”

Ren Tianqi stepped forward and grabbed the man's shoulder collarbone and slammed it. The man screamed and passed out.

Ren Tianqi connected the two big acupoints, woke them up, picked up his clothes, sneered, and said: "Friend, get acquainted, your second master is a person in the seven doors, and there are many ways to make a whole person, you can't open your mouth, it's not so easy to die." However, my eldest brother said that as long as you tell who you were sent, the second master will still spare your life. ”

The man was already bloodless and desperate.

Ren Tianhui was about to step forward.

And I saw the man's scream, and his head tilted and died.

When Ren Tianqi took a look, he saw that the man's eyebrows were hit by a broken door nail, he was furious, got up and turned around to take a look, and saw that three feet behind him, four horses were lined up under the moonlight, and immediately all four of them were covered in black clothes and black scarves, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
