Shao Yan heard the meaning of injustice, hugged his fists as a salute, and asked for advice at the next seat: "Uncle, the kid has just come to your place, I don't know what happened, listening to the words of the old man, it seems that there is a big grievance, and I hope to see the teaching!"

The old man looked at Shao Yan and the others seriously, and asked, "What is your surname?" Shao Yan replied: "In Xia Xu Hongzu, because he likes to travel through the mountains and rivers, he calls himself Xia Ke. Pointing at Lin Yunrou, "This is my scholar, Xu Qing'er, just arrived at the treasure land, just saw everyone running on the street, it seems that there is something big, as if someone said something assassin or something, for some reason, I hope the old man will tell him." ”

The old man sighed, and saw that in addition to his own table, there was only Shao Yan's table, so he said in a low voice: "Three days ago, Wang Chengen, the commander of the city, was assassinated, and the assassin was besieged, and he disfigured himself before committing suicide. The Assassin was dead, but he didn't know whom. Wang Chengen has a sister who is the concubine of Princess Yan, who is also a relative, and as soon as he died, in order to check the identity of the assassin, Taishou ordered the corpse to be exposed on the street and forced people related to the assassin to appear. ”

Shao Yanqi said: "If that's all, although the Taishou has done it, it is also reasonable, how could the old man feel so emotionally just now?"

The old man whispered: "You are a foreigner, but you don't know what Wang Chengen did. The old man whispered about the rumors in the market, it turned out that Wang Chengen relied on his sister to be the concubine of the Yan Princess, usually bullying men and women, the magistrate stammered, many people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and later he was promoted to the commander of the capital, and went to the border to fight against the barbarian Rakshasas, not only began to suffer defeat, but later colluded with the Rakshasa people, resold military supplies, and even betrayed the generals, the famous general Ao Lei Shipeng was martyred because of this, and the King of Yan transferred it to Pingyang City, to Pingyang, it was even more rampant, and the people hated to eat its flesh and sleep on its skin. was assassinated, it was a great pleasure, a strong man's righteous act, and many people lit incense as a respect.

Shao Yan said with emotion: "In this way, the assassin is not only a strong man, but also a righteous man, who destroys his face and does not want his family and friends to be implicated by him, which is a song and a sigh!

At this time, Xiao Er brought three more guests up, Shao Yan looked at the faces of the three people, and was shocked, all three of them had high foreheads, one of them had long eyebrows, one of them had sparse eyebrows, one of them was flat and broad, and other aspects were also good, although Shao Yan did not study physiognomy, but in his previous life, he was also involved, in this life, since the appearance of the mud pill spirit in his brain, the books he had read about physiognomy before were clearly presented in his mind.

When the three of them heard Shao Yan's emotion, they couldn't help but look at Shao Yan twice. Lin Yunrou heard Shao Yan's emotion, but felt incredible, in the cultivation realm, life is the first, and cultivation is immortal, but there are people in the world who know the way of death but face it calmly, and can't help asking: "Sir, aren't they afraid of death?" Shao Yan saw that Lin Yunrou was puzzled, and after a little thought, he knew the reason, so he explained seriously: "Everyone has the heart of fear of death, but where the righteousness lies, these two people are both light life and death, and they are worthy of our respect!"

When the old man heard Shao Yan say this, he said with admiration: "I can't imagine that the scholar is also a righteous person, the old man is ashamed, he has lived a handful of years, but he is a coward. ”

Shao Yan persuaded: "My husband doesn't have to blame himself, my husband has this thought, which has proved that my father is a person who understands righteousness, and if everyone in the world is like my father, the world is already a happy land." The act of the righteous man also wants to make this heaven and earth more righteous. ”

After saying this, not only the old man nodded, but even the three guests of the latter nodded, Shao Yan didn't think of some similar stories in his previous life, and couldn't help but chant:

"Generous Geyan City,

calmly as a prisoner;

Draw the knife into a fast,

Live up to the boy's head. ”

The old man and the three guests couldn't help but applaud the case, and one of the three guests shouted: "Good one" leads the knife into a fast, and lives up to the young man's head." 'Although the scholar is a scholar, he should be a generous and heroic person, and he is loyal in Xia Hanzhong, this is in the next two brothers, Wei Tianxiong and Hong Shaodong, I don't know the scholar's surname?"

Shao Yan hugged his fists and said: "Under Xu Hongzu Xu Xiake." ”

"Can you invite the three of you to have a drink together?" Han Zhong said, and said back to Xiao Er, "Gather all the wine and food on one table and record it in my account." ”

Xiao Er gathered the wine and food on one table, and Han Zhong hugged his fist to the old man: "Ask the old man his name!" The old man replied: "You're welcome, old Zhao Yongkun." Han Zhongye asked Lin Yunrou: "I don't know Miss's name?" Lin Yunrou smiled and said: "I'm not Miss, my name is Xu Qing'er, and I'm Mr.'s scholar." ”

Everyone sat down, and there were inevitably comments on the authorities during the banquet, the three of them were heroes and others, Zhao Yongkun was also a righteous person, and Shao Yan's master and apprentice were not bound by the world, some words were already forbidden, and Xiao Er was sweating when he heard it.

There was a loud bang outside the window, and a voice said, "The righteous man who came to collect the body of that strong man this time is actually a woman." ”

"Is it the wife or sister of a strong man?"

"I don't know. ”

"Shhhh ”

Han Zhong's faces changed slightly, and he ordered Xiao Er to invite the person who was talking downstairs to come up. Shao Yan saw it in his eyes and understood it in his heart. Xiao Eryi will bring four people up, all of them are young people, and the three of them asked about the situation in detail, Shao Yan also understood that the assassin was a member of the Ao Lei Shipeng's subordinate general, Sun Lei, who was martyred because of his resentment that Ao Lei Shipeng was betrayed, so far he assassinated Wang Chengen, and he couldn't get out afterwards, in order not to affect his brothers, he disfigured himself, and when Ao Lei Shipeng's only daughter Ao Lei Lan heard the news, she ignored everyone's obstruction, desperately came to collect the body, knowing that it was a plan, and she did not hesitate.

The old man Zhao Yongkun stared at Han Zhong and the three people: "The three strong men are very human, and the old man has already seen it, I don't know what the identity of the three is?"

Han Zhong was a little embarrassed, and said: "It's really a big matter, so I hide it from you." Don't blame!" Then, explaining why.

It turned out that most of his generals and subordinates were dissatisfied with the fact that King Yan was not held accountable, so they left the Yan army with the family of Ao Lei Shipeng and occupied Yuehu Mountain on the border, on the one hand, they continued to resist the barbarians, and on the other hand, they also wanted to seek justice for the general. King Yan was ashamed and did not publicize the matter, and most of the Yan people were kept in the dark. This time, because of the lady's private actions, several people brought more than a dozen people to find it, but it was too late. But the trio did not hide their names.

The old man Zhao Yongkun was in awe: "The three generals are for the country and the people, and they are old and abrupt. ”

Lin Yunrou said to Shao Yan with a slight begging: "Sir, let's help Sister Aurellelan." "This little girl, no one has seen it yet, and she actually called her sister. Shao Yan used his divine sense to transmit the voice: "Yes, except for secular martial arts, it is not allowed to use spells and other cultivator methods.

Shao Yan said to Han Zhong and the three of them: "My scholar also has a body of martial arts, which should be able to help you a little." Although the three of them were not optimistic about Shao Yan's master and servant, they were also grateful for Shao Yan's help, and they hurriedly thanked them at the moment: "It is really a blessing for the three of them to have the help of Brother Xu's master and servant!"

Seeing this, the old man Zhao Yongkun stood up and said goodbye: "Today, it is a blessing for the old man to be able to intersect with all the righteous people, and he is too old to participate in your righteous deeds, before saying goodbye, I wish you all success!"

Everyone stood up, clasped their fists and said, "Old man go slowly!" Seeing off the old man, everyone sat down again, Han Zhong said to Shao Yan: "Brother Hongzu, what are your good ideas on how to rescue our young lady?" Shao Yan was a little crying and laughing, just joined, he couldn't wait to ask for advice, no wonder, in this place, scholars are often regarded as representatives of wisdom. He lowered his head and thought about it, looked up and saw that everyone was looking at him, and he was not polite, and said directly: "Miss Aurelan should not have any worries about her life at present, after all, King Yan's relatives were assassinated, these things are too guarded to be the master, and in addition, Miss Aurelan has a special identity, so she should escort Miss Aurelan to Yandu Youjing in the next few days, so that King Yan can deal with it." The city is heavily guarded, and General Han has few people, so it is difficult to start, so you can start on the way to escort it. ”

At this time, a big man came up, whispered in Han Zhong's ear, Shao Yan's ear power was extraordinary, and he could hear it clearly, it turned out to be Han Zhong's subordinates, and he heard the news that the assassin's body had been buried outside the city by Taishou's order, and Aura Lei Lan Ming said that he would be escorted to Youjing. Han Zhong instructed his subordinates to find an opportunity to take out the body for cremation and bring back the ashes.

After the order was over, he turned back to Shao Yan and said, "Sir, as Mr. said, Miss will be escorted to Youjing tomorrow, and I hope Mr. will help me!"

Ordered to settle the bill, Shao Yan and the three of them went downstairs together, outside the city, and the rest of the twenty-eight people, although there were only twenty-eight people, but all of them were strong, and at a glance they knew that they were selected elites, each of whom was a double horse. After Han Zhong introduced Shao Yan's master and apprentice to his subordinates, he asked Shao Yan: "Mr. Xu, what do you think will be arranged?"

Shao Yan said: "First send a clever person to see if you can visit the prison, bring more silver taels, and use money to get through, and the person who visits the prison will understand the recent situation of Miss and transmit the news to Miss." The other person, keep an eye on the prison, and once the young lady leaves, she can send back the news at any time, especially the number of escorts, subordinates and generals. ”

Han Zhong did as he said, Shao Yan said: "Is there a map from Pingyang to Youjing?" Shao Yan asked about the local geography in detail and knew it in his heart.

Due to the Erlong Mountain barrier, Youjing and Pingyang are not connected by straight roads, after entering the Erlong Valley on both sides, due to the topography, the straight road can not be built, so they have to pass through the valley, and then, then go on the straight road, the speed of the carriage and horses on the straight road is fast, the interception is difficult, in the Erlong Valley, the carriage and horses can only slow down, which is easy to intercept.

Shao Yan analyzed: " This place is about a thousand miles away from Pingyang, it is the exchange point of Pingyang Straight Road and Youjing Straight Road, the valley is about ten miles long, the carriage and horses can only slow down, from what I understand just now, the widest place is less than 20 steps, only a quarter of the straight road, that is, the queue can only be pulled into a line type, easy to cut off from both sides, we have few people, but they are all one out of a thousand, this situation is in favor of us, according to the number of people on the other side, if there are many people, the prisoner car must be in the center, we cut it off, we save people directly into the mountains and forests, and then try to get out, if the other party is less, with our elite, directly rush out of the valley, and go away。 ”

After discussing in detail with everyone, it was decided that except for the two or three people who inquired about the news, the rest of the people got on the horse, although Shao Yan's master and apprentice had never ridden a horse, but the two of them controlled their bodies freely, starting from the afternoon, changing horses without changing people, in the evening, eating some dry food on the horse, rushing overnight, and finally arrived in the middle of the night.

According to Shao Yan's calculations, as soon as tomorrow evening, the escort convoy will arrive outside the valley, no accident, they will rest outside the valley for the night, will not cross the valley overnight, will pass through the valley the day after tomorrow, that is, the moment when everyone moves, however, this is the fastest estimate, if it is a little slow, it may arrive in the morning of the day after tomorrow, or even in the afternoon. Because the straight road is fast, but not necessarily at high speed, besides, tomorrow evening to camp outside the valley, is not a good choice, easy to be attacked at night, it is better to be a little slower, the first day can be close to the Erlongshan post station, safety can be guaranteed, so the day after tomorrow to the surname is relatively large.

Shao Chu analyzed it like this, but if the other party is stupid and camps outside the valley tomorrow evening, then Han Zhong and others will be given the opportunity to attack at night, and for Han Zhong, there is a slight possibility that cannot be let go. Arrived overnight, and tomorrow there will be a day of rest and arrangement, which can be arranged calmly.

After everyone set up a simple tent, only two people were left on guard, and the others quickly fell asleep. The sound of insects chirping in the forest makes the night even quieter.

Shao lay down and did not fall asleep, for him, sleeping is the same as not sleeping, closing his eyes, the entire Erlong Mountain is completely presented in his mind.
