Chapter 61: Accidents

Lin Suniang's attitude made Xu Ping confused, but a strange feeling came up from the depths of his soul, indescribable, a little relieved, and a little regretful, which made Xu Ping inexplicable.

After waiting for a while, the sun in the east showed half of its head, and Li Wei finally brought people back. Due to the sparse population here, Li Wei's strong men were less than twenty, and he brought sixteen people over at this time.

It just so happened that Lin Wensi was still there, so he wrote a statement, indicating the origin of the incident, the process, how many thieves were killed, how many thieves were captured, and the appearance and name of the thief's prime minister.

After writing, Xu Ping and Li Wei fell into the flower together with the witness Lin Wensi.

The monogram of the Song Dynasty is like Xu Ping's personality signature in his previous life, but the legal effect is much stronger. If it was in Xu Ping's previous life, the signature required neat and clear handwriting, which was based on a strong handwriting ability. This era is different, they are all strange shapes, and strive to be different, and some people will draw birds and even flowers and plants on it with ingenuity.

Xu Ping just wrote a line of grass according to his habits in his previous life, waiting to see Lin Wensi, but he never expected that the dragon and the phoenix would dance, not like three words, but like a painting, which was very different from his usual image, which made Xu Ping look sideways. Li Wei couldn't recognize a few words, but the word "Wei" fell crookedly.

After the petition was written, it was written in triplicate, and the three of them received it separately, so the handover procedures were completed, and all the prisoners were transferred to Li Wei.

Xu Ping asked the villagers who had almost drunk to go back to rest, and by the way, he instructed Xu Chang to prepare a few red satin horses and two jars of good wine, and draped Li Wei and his party to make a lively atmosphere.

After all this was done, seeing that the sun had risen, Li Wei did not dare to delay, borrowed an ox cart from Xu Pingzhuang, pulled the body, escorted the prisoner on the road, and sent it to Zhongmu County.

Li Wei was dressed in red, rode a horse to lead the way, and the two strong men behind him took the gong and sounded the gong to open the way.

On the road, Li Wei said goodbye to Xu Ping with joy.

At this chaotic time, suddenly there was an earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves, like thousands of horses, rolling in.

After everything was handed over, Xu Ping was the most relaxed, and he didn't think of anything wrong for a while, just looked in the direction where the voice came.

The road was dusty, and during this time, the five healthy horses, all taller than the horses Xu Ping had seen before, were rushing towards the crowd at full speed. Five knights at once, all men in the prime of life, each dragged an unsheathed steel knife in his hand.

When Xu Ping reacted wrongly, the five people had already arrived in front of him.

The first person raised the steel knife and shouted to Ke Wulang, who was tied up: "If you are a little sheren, I will send you to Huangquan!" ”

The words did not stop, and the knife fell in his hand, and he cut Kegoro to the ground with a knife.

Cut down Kegoro, and the five of them pulled the reins and turned back to the horse.

One of them said, "That little girl, too, took it away!" ”

The five horses launched together and rushed straight towards the crowd.

This sudden change stunned everyone and did not react. Li Wei, who was the only one riding on the horse, was even more dumbfounded, sitting on the horse stupidly, motionless.

Xu Ping pulled out the long knife he was wearing, but he couldn't touch the corner of the person's clothes at all.

Five horses rushed into the crowd, and everyone ducked.

When he arrived, one of the knights rushed to Lin Suniang's side, and as soon as he bent over, he grabbed Lin Suniang on the horse. Lin Suniang is only thirteen years old, and her body is light, and she didn't have the speed to take a tired horse when she was caught.

This sudden change scared Lin Suniang stupidly, but when she had time to turn around, she saw Xu Ping standing on the side of the road with a long knife in his hand, and shouted: "Da Lang-"

The voice was still lingering in Xu Ping's ears, and there was only a piece of dust left in front of him.

When Lin Suniang's words entered his ears, Xu Ping inexplicably turned out a breath of blood in his heart, and the ghost made a god like a god, and he strode forward and dragged Li Wei off the horse, and turned over on the horse himself.

The back of the knife struck the horse's buttocks, and the horse's hooves spread and chased after him.

Li Wei has served in the Herding Division for many years, and it took a lot of scheming to get this good horse, although it looks a little inconspicuous, but the foot strength is excellent.

Xu Ping rode this horse and chased it out for more than ten miles in one go, but he was not thrown away.

Riding on the horse, he didn't know the direction until this time, Xu Ping's mood gradually calmed down a little, and his mind regained clarity. Looking around, I saw that there were sandy meadows, sometimes some small swamps, and high hills gradually appeared in the distance. As far as the eye can see, there are no people in sight.

couldn't recognize where he had been, Xu Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The whim just now was inexplicable, and when I reacted, there was no turning back. If it were according to Xu Ping's normal temperament, he would never do such a reckless thing, to save Lin Suniang, he has a thousand ways and ten thousand ways, and all kinds of methods will not include such a lonely danger.

When they arrived here, the five horsemen in front of him gradually slowed down, and Xu Ping had no choice but to follow closely behind.

After running for about a mile or two, two figures appeared on a small dirt bag in front of them, both on horseback.

The five knights mounted the small earthen bag and bowed to one of the two young men: "Little Sheren, what you have asked us to do has been done, and this little lady has also brought it to you." ”

There was a middle-aged man next to the young man, and he was taken aback when he saw Lin Suniang, who had fainted immediately, and asked the young man next to him: "Little master, when did you order them to arrest the little lady of the Lin family too?" The master repeatedly instructed that the grievances with the Xu family have passed, and there should be no more conflicts! How can you do that? ”

The young man disagreed: "The prefect is making a fuss, their family is just a wine merchant who runs a restaurant, and there is no power to support them, so why care!" ”

The middle-aged man sighed: "There are some things that the little master doesn't know, and the master can't say it clearly." The master made it clear to me that this family has some origins, and they must not be offended to death, otherwise they may leave a hidden danger of raiding the house and destroying the door. Although the master is popular in the court, the forces in the court are intricate, with ups and downs, who can say clearly? Since the master has commanded this, it must be reasonable, how dare he disobey it? ”

The young man said: "What you said is true, and no one knows that we arrested people, so it's okay!" ”

One of the five people interjected: "The little housekeeper thought badly, they even have a good horse on the village, and the little owner chased after him, and we can't get rid of it!" ”

Only then did the young man notice that a mile or two away, Xu Ping was wandering on horseback, looking here from time to time.

Seeing Xu Ping, the young man changed color and said to the five people: "Why are you so useless? I was chased by someone! It is said that they are used to doing this kind of thing, and they are foolproof, and they actually leave this kind of flaw! ”

The five of them said: "Xiao Sheren just asked us to kill Ke Goro, he is already dead, we don't have a little hand left!" It was this girl who was also given to the little housekeeper by our brother. As for someone chasing after them, they have good horses in the village, who can stop them? ”

The young man gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "At this point, there is no way, if you don't do it, you go down and kill that person for me!" ”

The middle-aged man next to him was startled: "If you do this kind of thing, you will never die with the Xu family!" The little master has to think about it carefully, and the master's words can't be ignored! ”

The young man said viciously: "There are no people in a radius of twenty or thirty miles here, who knows that we did it?" As long as your hands and feet are clean, you can only blame this guy for damning! ”

The five people just looked at the young man, listened to his decision, and led the way: "Our brother will not make a fool of himself, and the little sheren will take some gold and silver to spend." ”

The young man gritted his teeth, took out two beads the size of a dragon's eye from his arms and handed them out: "These two beads are treasures given by the palace, I don't know how much gold and silver they are worth, is it enough?!" ”

The leader took the beads in his hand, looked at them carefully, and said with a smile: "Enough!" The little lodger and the magistrate stayed here for a while, and we went to take the life of the little owner! ”

After speaking, the five of them returned to the horse together, dragged the knife on the horse's belly, and looked at Xu Ping under the mountain.

Xu Ping has been wandering around the mountain, just staring at Lin Suniang. There were five men on the other side with knives, and they all looked well-trained. He knew that he was a few pounds and a few taels, but he just followed closely, slowly waiting for the opportunity, and would not rush forward to die.

Seeing the five of them turn towards him together, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

When he saw one of the knights put Lin Suniang on the ground and raised his knife to himself, he knew that he was going to deal with him, and he couldn't help but hesitate. If it is according to his temperament, he still has to move slowly, anyway, as long as he doesn't lose the whereabouts of the other party, he can't run away from them.

But today is like seeing a ghost, and I just can't let go of Lin Suniang in my heart.

Although Lin Suniang is his wife, it is really impossible to say how deep the feelings are. The two have only known each other for more than half a year, and there are very few opportunities to be alone together, where can they be infatuated with each other?

But at this time, a particularly strong feeling came out of his heart, which made Xu Ping very impatient. He gradually understood in his heart that this kind of feeling was only inherited from that little gentleman, but he couldn't find the reason in his memory, which made Xu Ping entangled.

At that moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded.

Xu Ping looked up and saw that the five people had already galloped down and rushed straight towards him. Xu Ping was about to hide, but he happened to see the young man behind the five people dismount and carry Lin Suniang to his horse with the middle-aged man. The blood surged into his heart again, and he shouted wildly, and raised his sword and rode up to meet him.

The five of them were also taken aback when they saw Xu Ping coming straight up, but they didn't expect this kid to be afraid of death, so he accelerated the horse and wanted to cut Xu Ping down with a knife.

Rushing up the hill, Xu Ping quickly felt like water. If you occupy this person's body, of course, you should take over this person's previous fetters. If you are unlucky today and die here, then where you come from and where you go, it is just a dream. If you want to escape everything, there will always be times when you can't escape.

Seeing that there were still a hundred steps away, Xu Ping turned his horse's head suddenly, changed a diagonal line, and rushed up the mountain along the edge of the five people.

When the five of them came down, they set up a triangular sharp formation, and the arrow pointed directly at Xu Ping. At this time, Xu Ping suddenly changed direction, but the five of them were already too late. They are fast down the mountain, and they are their own people on the left and right, and if they forcibly change direction, they will trample on each other.

Rushing halfway up the mountain, Xu Pingzheng passed by the most of the five.

When they intersected, before the person could react, Xu Ping threw up the long knife and slashed through the person's abdomen. With the speed of the two horses, the long knife cut a large hole in the man's abdomen.

After rushing more than a dozen paces, a scream was heard, and the wounded man fell on his horse.

This is the most important point that Xu Ping has learned from Sang Yi in the past six months, when fighting against others, you must be calm, you must be able to do it, and you must stay sober at any time. Especially when the weapon is used, the shot is disabled, and the person who starts quickly and accurately and ruthlessly has a great advantage.

The five horses rushed out for nearly a hundred paces, and the intact four stopped their horses, and looked at the horses that were still running forward with their injured brothers, and their faces couldn't help but change.

turned around to look at Xu Ping, but he didn't stop at all, and rushed straight up the mountain.

One person rushed out to hold the uncontrollable horse, looked at the injuries of the man on the horse, turned around and asked the leader: "Big brother, the fourth brother can't do it now!" What are we going to do? ”

The eldest brother said hatefully: "You are here to watch the fourth brother, let's go up and slaughter that little animal!" ”

After speaking, he took the two people around him back to chase after Xu Ping.

On the hillside, after the young man saw that Xu Ping had injured one person, he rushed to the mountain non-stop, was startled, and said to the people around him: "Zhiyuan, why is this kid so brave?" He's rushing over, what are we going to do? ”

The middle-aged man sighed: "What else?" Run! ”

After saying that, the two got on their horses and beat their horses and ran down the hill on the other side.

Xu Ping didn't care about the people behind him, he just chased these two people on horseback.

When he arrived at the mountain, the middle-aged man said: "Little master, let the Lin family lady go, the Xu family is going to save people, we can leave calmly." As long as you get away today, you'll be fine. ”

The young man said, "It's hard to get it, how can I let it go?" ”

The three people in the back chased after the mountain bag, and when they saw Xu Ping chasing after the two in front, the eldest brother scolded: "This little housekeeper of the Ma family is really a waste, just run around!" He only needs to pester the Xu family kid for a moment when he turns around at this time, and we can go up and slaughter him! ”

The person next to him asked, "Big brother, what should we do then?" To chase or not to chase? ”

"Chase! Anyway, I want to avenge the fourth brother! ”

This chase and escape, and soon went out for another twenty miles.

The two people in front of them brought Lin Suniang, and their riding skills were not exquisite, so they didn't run very fast. Xu Ping couldn't catch up because of the quality of the horse. Although this horse is a good horse among the people, there is still a gap compared with the real good horses of the previous two.

The three people behind were half-hearted, and they wanted to catch up with Xu Ping for revenge, and they were worried about the injured companions behind, walking and stopping, chasing farther and farther. I don't know when, they saw that it was hopeless to catch up with Xu Ping, so they went back by themselves. After making this single transaction, the five of them can live happily for a long time. The money has been received, and although the brotherhood is deep, it has not yet reached the point of living and dying together.

Mountains and forests gradually appeared in front of them, and the road was no longer easy to walk.

Xu Ping just chased after him, and he didn't know where he went. The horse he stepped on was sweating, and he couldn't get up fast, but he was desperately urged by Xu Ping and was not thrown off.

Barely passing through a bush, the middle-aged man looked back and saw that Xu Ping was still chasing after him, holding the long knife that had hurt people in his hand, and it was still bloody.

Sighing, the middle-aged man said: "Little master, at this point, you have to let go of the Lin family, and if you don't let it go, you have to let it go." I just hope that we can go out and go home safely. ”

After speaking, he grabbed Lin Suniang, who was on the young man's horse, and pushed off the horse.

The young man was startled and glared at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man said: "The little master is not leaving, waiting for the Xu family to come up and cut off your head?" ”

When the young man heard this, he glanced at Lin Suniang, who was slowly rolling towards the hillside, and hatefully clamped the horse's belly and ran forward with the middle-aged man.

Xu Ping had already seen Lin Suniang being pushed off the horse in the distance, and hurriedly urged the horse to catch up with the hillside.

Jumping off the horse, Xu Ping rushed out to grab Lin Suniang, but he pulled an empty space and watched Lin Suniang roll down the hill.

The hillside was full of thorns, Xu Ping was startled, for fear that Lin Suniang would make a mistake, so he hurriedly jumped up and rushed over.

The hillside was very small and gentle, and Lin Suniang rolled a distance of three or five steps before being blocked by a small wild jujube tree that had lost all its leaves and stopped.

Xu Ping stepped forward with a big stride, helped Lin Suniang up, and let her rest her head on his lap.

Lin Suniang woke up slowly, glanced at Xu Ping, and said in a low voice: "Da Lang, is it you?" ”

Xu Ping nodded: "It's me, you can rest assured!" ”

Lin Suniang smiled and closed her eyes again. It seems that she has seen a few years ago, when the two first met, the arrogant Xu family man who was guarding in front of her.
