Chapter 17: Death

At the beginning of February, when the snow and ice had melted and fed back to the earth, the soil had become soft, the trees and grass had sprouted, and everything had risen from the pale winter, and now it was time for farming to begin, and the roads were filled with caravans, farmers with children, and mothers-in-law going into the city to buy seeds or farming tools. A carriage stopped near the gazebo and was about to depart for a new place. A woman stood beside the carriage and told a man to climb into the carriage, her eyes were slightly red, but when the two were talking, they knew that it was a pair of sisters and brothers.

"When you arrive in Yanmen County, remember to send a letter to your sister to report your safety, Guo Taishou and your brother-in-law are old acquaintances, don't anger the other party too much in your words, he will give you convenience."

"The little brother knows ......"

The woman wiped away her tears, and advised: "You do business with those horse thieves, don't mess with each other, they are all fighting with the Huns, killing people without blinking, our family suffers a little loss is nothing, do you know?" ”

"Got it." The man nodded seriously, quietly poked the groom, the car moved, and he hurriedly waved his hand: "Sister, little brother will go now, you can wait for the news at home with peace of mind." ”

He shouted to the woman, turned around and got into the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked at the pedestrians, carriages and horses passing by the roadside, and the sprouting greenery of the mountains, and at last felt free from the restraints, and shook his head and smiled faintly.

How powerful can a gang of horse thieves be, they just took advantage of the Huns to rob the border and run to each other's house to show their might, but even if they have killed people, it is just a group of outsiders, a group of savages, do they dare to touch me? How can I say that I am also the brother-in-law of the assassin of Bingzhou, if these horse thieves follow me, they will all be stained, of course...... If they are really obedient, it is only natural that they should be blessed.

Thinking of his sister's words just now, Hou Jie sighed: "Women's opinion." ”

After a moment, he had thought of a lot, and then ...... thought of having fun, "The woman over there in Yanmen doesn't know if it's fun." ”

So he asked the coachman to speed up, and by the afternoon of the third day, he had reached the boundary of Yanmen County.

In the evening, the group just entered the gate of the Yin Pavilion, the Taishou Guo Miao set up a banquet for him to personally catch the wind, the lights flowed, and drank it freely, the wine was gently placed on the low table, and the gentle and elegant man stroked his beard and looked at the other person sitting opposite Hou Jie, and inquired: "This strong man ......"

"He's one of my brother-in-law's generals, and he's taking care of me." Hou Jie sat on his knees, with long chopsticks picking and choosing in the meal, "He is also surnamed Hou, and his single name is Cheng, but it is the Hou family in Taiyuan, not my own family, don't be confused." ”

The atmosphere froze, the chopsticks hovered, and the man named Hou Cheng on the opposite side frowned, and his face sank.

On the top, a smile flashed in Guo Miao's eyes, and he walked down with the two small ears of the weapon, and saluted the tall man: "What a strong man, Hou Jie is just careless in his words, don't take it seriously." ”

"How dare a man who is a little small." Hou Cheng replied, drank the wine in the dry pill in one gulp, then put it down, and arched his hand towards Guo Miao, "Lord Taishou, don't solve my troubles, wait for what you do, just to assassinate Shi to entrust." ”

After that, sit down again, eat and drink.

On the other side, Hou Jie snorted, and didn't pay attention to the other party, after all, he still had to rely on the other party to protect his safety, just get off the horse according to the book, and he couldn't force it too much, probably like this....he thought.

Subsequently, he talked to Taishou Guo Miao about the white wolf original horse thief, and after knowing that the other party was really as fierce as he expected, he actually laughed out loud, "A group of horse thieves are ferocious, which shows that there is no wisdom behind them, otherwise they would not have fought to the death with the Huns with their lives, and ordinary people are naturally afraid when they see them." ”

The smiling figure waved his hand, and he had the posture of commanding thousands of troops.

Guo Miao smiled and nodded: "I didn't expect that Jianyang Gong's wife and brother also had such knowledge, it's really amazing...... It's amazing!! ”

"Hahaha...... Have an eye! I feel the same way, thinking that my sister has been tying me up and tying me up, as if I was afraid of being harmed, and now that the blue bird has finally gone to the sky, the bear and the tiger have returned to the mountain, and I want to do something to impress my brother-in-law and sister...... Hahaha...... Those horse thieves were the first to do it... Hahaha! ”

Guo Miao gestured, sipped the wine with his lips, looked at the proud figure, the corners of his mouth curled, Jianyang Gong was rude and martial, but he was not like this, otherwise he would not be able to sit in Yizhou's parents, it seems that he also intends to. A stunned young man like Hou Jie, even if he is a little older, is still just a stunned young man.

"You should have listened to your sister." He thought, but didn't say it.

*******************************

On the 7th of February, the White Wolf Plain was green.

A delicate sprout of grass sprouted from the dirt, a horse's hoof slammed over, turning up the mud, bursts of thunder came from far and near, and the rumbling sound spread over the earth, and a pair of horses' hooves fell on the turf like a torrential rain, rolling up the grass and soil.

The hazy light rose from the east, and the cavalry of two or three hundred men, wearing cleaved jackets and wielding scimitars, rushed headlong into the nearby hills with overwhelming momentum.

The dense woods had cleared a wide road, and the cavalry had slowed down as they entered, then turned over and dismounted, patted the horses' buttocks, and let them nibble on the bushes and grass themselves. A figure dressed in a big coat strode towards the oncoming scholar with a bloody head.

"Pull out the head of the head of the Yan Sect, marinate it for me, and put it in a conspicuous place." Gongsun Zhi waved his hand and threw the bloody head to the other party.

Dongfang Sheng was so frightened that he threw the head around in his hand, with a disgusted expression, "It's hard to last long... Always be good forever, can we not keep doing this kind of thing......"

Over there, Gongsun Zhi, who drank the water in a big gulp, threw the pottery bowl to the horse thief behind him, and laughed: "If this guy hadn't killed one of our brothers a few days ago, I wouldn't have gone to slaughter his tribe." ”

More than a dozen daughters-in-law, large and small, by the waterhole, had asked their husbands to take off their bloodstained clothes and squat at the water's edge to wash them, the red color spreading in the water, and on the other side, a few horse thieves did not care about scooping water to drink. Hearing Gongsun Zhi finish speaking, someone raised his head and echoed loudly: "It's good to kill, what do you want if that old guy has three hundred people in his hands?" In the end, it wasn't scraped by the leader. ”

The sound of talking in the forest continued to fluctuate, and at noon, a figure on horseback quickly returned to the bottom of the hill, handed over the horse to his companion, and hurriedly ran into the wolf's den to see Gongsun Zhi, who was discussing things with Gao Sheng, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Bang –

A pot of firewood set up near the stone seat flew out horizontally and smashed on the cave wall, and when the sparks splashed everywhere, Gongsun Zhi withdrew his hand, sat back on the stone chair, closed his eyes and fell silent.

The sour Ru on the side glanced at Gao Sheng, and the latter stepped forward and asked, "Chief, what happened?" ”

"During the time we went out, the people who traded with us on the Yin Pavilion changed, Zhang Liao was transferred to Jinyang by order, and the price of the things traded this time was lowered by the new principal, and the brothers who traded in the past quarreled with each other and were killed." Gongsun said in a deep voice.

Gao Sheng stood up suddenly, knocked down the stone bench, and shouted: "It doesn't matter if you lose something, what should we brothers do?" That dog thing, it's really bad for us to be a knife. ”

"Slow down." Dongfang Sheng stroked his short beard under his chin and took a few steps: "In my opinion, the other party is demonstrating to the leader and making us afraid of him." ”

"You're a fart!" Gao Sheng scolded: "That guy obviously wants us to listen to him in the future." ”

Sour Ru still wanted to argue a few words, but over there, the figure on the stone chair smashed a fist, took the big sword and walked straight out, holding the scimitar in one hand and raising it: "Since the other party wants to see me so unceremoniously, then let him take a good look at it, see it clearly, get on the horse, let's go to Yanmen County." ”
