These more than ten riders are Dongchang fans, and the leader is Chunxiang, who did not return to Fengyang City after connecting with Chang Yu in the afternoon, and went straight to Nanjing.

Chunxiang's trip was originally for Zhu Yujian, and he was surprisingly successful in completing the task and wanted to return to Beijing, but now the situation in the south is critical and complicated, Chang Yu needs a trustworthy person to sit in Nanjing to collect intelligence for him to deter local officials, so he asked Chunxiang to take the first step.

From Fengyang to Nanjing is roughly estimated to have more than 400 miles, Chunxiang is in a hurry to rush although it is a cool day when the head also gritted his teeth and insisted, all the way to stop and stop until the evening has traveled fifty or sixty places, the road meets a large village and town (now Mingguang City) to rest, asked the villagers to learn that the next twenty miles will enter the mountain, the mountain side is the Lai'an County of Chuzhou, across the river is Nanjing.

If you travel overnight, you can arrive in Nanjing tomorrow evening at the latest, Chunxiang and his men discussed, although they feel tired, it is cooler to travel at night, better than the scorching sun during the day.

But the villagers also said that the mountains are not restless at night, and it is better to walk with more people during the day.

Chunxiang smiled and asked: "Why is it restless, isn't there a mountain to trouble?" ”

"If the mountain is down, there is nothing to be afraid of, there are bandits" The villagers looked solemn: "The day is too peaceful, and at night they will come out to rob the road and plunder the wealth and rob people"

Chunxiang and a few people looked at each other and laughed, they went all the way south from the capital, and they were not even afraid of Shandong Xiangma, could it be that they should be afraid of a few bandits, if they didn't meet them, they would be lucky, and they would be unlucky if they met

Seeing that they could not be persuaded, the villagers had to shake their heads and give up.

Chunxiang has been on the battlefield, Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of thieves and he followed Chang Yu to rush in and kill a few in and out, naturally not afraid of some thieves.

So after a short rest, he turned over and led the team to leave, but was stopped by a beggar at the entrance of the village: "Can you enjoy stuttering?" ”

If it was someone else, he would have whipped it over, but Chunxiang was different from others and was greatly influenced by Chang Yu, although he would not take the initiative to give alms to beggars everywhere these years, but if someone came to beg, he would definitely agree, so he took out some dry food for the beggar.

"Are you going to Nanjing?" The beggar thanked him for the food, and asked casually. Chunxiang snorted.

"It's not peaceful in the mountains, you have to be careful" As soon as the beggar said this, Chunxiang frowned, it seems that it is not groundless, it is still a bandit, so he reined in his horse and asked the beggar: "Have you seen the thief in the mountain?" How many centaurs are there? ”

"I've seen some, I don't know how good they are, but they're fierce." The beggar replied.

"Since you're so fierce, why didn't you kill you?" a fan laughed, and the beggar also laughed: "I'm a beggar, what do you want, but I wanted to kill me at the time, but they didn't catch up when I ran fast."

Chunxiang didn't want to talk to him, and he was about to leave, but the beggar took a step forward and grabbed the horse's head: "Master Jun, I also want to go to Nanjing, just take me over by the way."

"I hear that your accent is also this southerner, the road is more familiar than us, do you use us to take you?" A fan said, and the beggar laughed: "To be honest, I am familiar with the road, but I am afraid of those thieves...... I don't dare to walk this mountain night road alone, so I will follow the military masters to be brave, and I beg you."

"Okay, you can follow" Chunxiang nodded, driving the horse south, and I beggar followed behind with a dog-beating stick.

"My lord, I think this beggar is a little weird" Chunxiang has little experience in the rivers and lakes, but all the fans around him are veterans.

"How so?" Chunxiang raised his eyebrows.

"The beggar is like a withered tree, you see that he is sturdy, although he is unkempt but imposing, especially his eyes are blazing, and he guesses that most of them are thieves in the mountains, deliberately leading us in."

This...... Chunxiang hesitated a little, the more than ten people under him are the top players in the East Factory, in addition to the transfer from Jinyi and the masters of the rivers and lakes who were recruited during this time, it is not a problem to deal with ordinary small thieves, but if the other party is prepared and has the advantage of the terrain, and does not know that the thieves are outnumbered, he does not want to take risks.

"What about the gang of thieves" Just when Chunxiang hesitated, another fan opened his mouth: "This is the official road to Nanjing, if there are bandits, there are already officers and soldiers to suppress them, and this road has been lowly several times, and I have heard the name of the bandit but have not met, adults don't have to worry, at most some thieves are exaggerated by the villagers, and they will not provoke us when they meet these officials." This time it was transferred by Jinyiwei, and when he said this, Chunxiang nodded: "If there is anything unusual, kill the beggar behind first."

When they answered, they continued on their way.

Although this road is a mountain road, it is not like Jinan to Tai'an, the mountains on both sides are towering, narrow and precipitous, on the contrary, the terrain is relatively open, although the two sides are also mountainous, but they are separated by several miles, and there are several villages, but they are extremely desolate, and the roadside is overgrown with weeds.

The night breeze was cool, Chunxiang and his party were in a hurry and slowly, and the beggar followed behind him unhurriedly, and when the distance was shortened, he raised his voice: "Master Jun, slow down, wait for me."

Look at how long you pretend, Chunxiang now also sees the abnormality, from that village and town to this has been more than 30 miles, normal people have long been unable to walk, but this beggar has always been within 100 meters with them.

"Speed up, get rid of him" Chunxiang muttered, and then galloped away with his subordinates, and the beggar hurriedly chased after him and shouted: "Master Jun, wait, I'm so scared."

it off, see if it's your two legs or the horse running fast...... Chunxiang sneered, and then flew out with a bang, and the screams and exclamations of his brothers sounded in his ears, and before he could react, he fell heavily to the ground, and suddenly his whole body was in severe pain as if he was falling apart, and his head was buzzing.

Tripping horses!

Someone actually stumbled on the mountain road, and almost all of the people in the group were accidentally knocked down.

It seems that there are really thieves, and they really did it.

"My lord, my lord" Chunxiang heard his subordinates shouting, he wanted to respond but couldn't say it, and he couldn't get up if he wanted to.

When a few fans rolled to his side and were about to help him up, a sudden net fell from the sky and caught several of them, and at the same time, dozens of people came out of the bushes on both sides of the road, holding knives, forks and sticks, and surrounded them: "If you want to cross this road, stay and buy money!" ”

"Bold thieves, you in Dongchang also dare to rob" The three fans who were not tripped by the queen of the palace immediately drew their knives and shouted angrily, and the four fans who fell but were not caught in the net also endured the severe pain and turned over and drew their knives to prepare for battle.

East Factory's?

Sure enough, the thieves were shocked when they heard this, and then whispered.

"What do you have to say to them, kill them all for Lao Tzu" Chunxiang, who was caught in the net, finally came to his senses at this time, thinking that he had not been injured in the thousands of troops, but he was almost lost half of his life by a few thieves, and suddenly he couldn't help but roar in anger, but it also made those thieves ruthless.

"Fuck you in the east factory of the west factory, this road Lao Tzu said, that is, the king of heaven Lao Tzu has to stay from here to buy road money, no, it's a life money" A big man took a step forward with a ghost head knife and wanted to slash, and a few fans around Chunxiang immediately waved a knife to stop it.

"Roar, it seems that the net is a big man" The big man laughed, and Lao Tzu didn't like nonsense: "Either hand over the silver, horses and weapons and get out, or wait for Lao Tzu to kill you and take it yourself."

"Don't do it yet!" Chunxiang roared in the net, he was greatly influenced by Chang Yu, and he said that he would do it, how could he compromise with the bandits, and he pulled the net vigorously in his hand while speaking, but this kind of net that specializes in covering people is difficult to untie once it is caught in the net.

The subordinates had to order the knife to be slashed, and the thieves were shocked, they didn't follow the routine, and sure enough, Dongchang was used to it, but you forgot that this is Lao Tzu's territory, and you have to give you a long memory.

"Kill them" The big man roared, and pounced on Chunxiang in the net with his knife, and his subordinates also rushed to fight with the fans.
