Zhang Yan walked along the road all the way, and every time he came to a fork in the road, he would be lucky to find all kinds of gold and silver jewelry on the snow, such as necklaces, bracelets, hairpins, and jade pendants, each more expensive than the other.

Until this time, Zhang Yan was basically sure that someone had deliberately left clues for him.

In the evening, the group chased all the way along the clues, and before they knew it, they had already left the boundary of Pengcheng and entered the country of Xiapi.

Less than five miles further, Zhang Yan suddenly saw a big mountain in front of him, which looked unusually quiet under the cover of snow.

He reined in his horse, pointed to the mountain in front of him, and asked, "Where is this?" ”

One of the scouts quickly replied, "Lord Qiyu, we have entered the Xiapi Realm, and the mountain in front of us is called Yiyang Mountain. ”

"Yiyang Mountain?"

Zhang Yan took advantage of the twilight, looked carefully, but saw that this mountain is majestic, steep but not dangerous, the main peak of the mountain is like a giant, sitting with his back to the north and facing south, holding his head high, forming two canyons under the armpits of the arms stretched out from the east and west, one of the canyons faintly visible faint firelight, and there are more curling smoke wafting out from the canyon.

There was light in the canyon, and there was smoke in the cooking, and it seemed that there were indeed people living here. Zhang Yan chased all the way here, how could he give up easily, but the mountain road was rugged and the horses were difficult to travel, so he had to order the whole army to dismount and advance on foot.

Zhang Yan took the lead and walked in the forefront, walking on rugged mountain roads with his vigorous skills. After walking for a while, he looked back and saw that the Danyang soldiers behind him were walking like flying on the mountain road, all of them were walking on the ground, and the speed was amazing.

Danyang soldiers are all from Danyang mountain people, Danyang area is mountainous, the mountains are steep and abnormal, there is no lack of poisonous snakes and beasts in the mountains, the local residents have to practice martial arts to defend themselves, and they are brave and ruthless, so the people here are fierce, everyone is brave and resolute, walking in the mountains, it is like walking on the ground.

Zhang Yan took the five hundred Danyang soldiers to move forward quickly, and soon saw the entrance of the canyon, he stopped, first carefully observed the terrain, and saw that both sides of the canyon were cliffs, only the road in front of him could enter the canyon, he was worried that there would be an ambush, so he took a few people to the entrance of the canyon to investigate.

At this time, it was dark, and the night in the canyon was thick, and there were two faint fires at the entrance, and under the light of the fire, four people with yellow scarves sat around a campfire, chatting and roasting the fire. Other than that, there was no one else.

Zhang Yan's body was like a snake, slowly squirming forward, and the closer he got to the entrance of the canyon, the clearer the conversation he heard. He didn't get too close, hiding under a large rock, and vaguely heard the conversation between the men.

"I heard that in addition to returning with a large amount of gold today, the king also brought back a woman, who seems to be a beautiful woman, is it true?"

"Of course it's true, when the king came back, I happened to be on duty here, and I saw it clearly, the king did bring back a woman. Moreover, this woman is not ordinary beauty, her beauty ...... I can't describe it. In short, as soon as people see her, they think she is very good-looking, and they always want to keep watching...... Anyway, she's the most beautiful of all the women I've ever met......"

"No matter how beautiful it is, it has nothing to do with us. Such a beautiful woman must have been favored by the king, and the woman that the king has taken a fancy to, which of you dares to touch it? Forget it, don't mention that woman, so as not to make everyone feel uncomfortable...... By the way, how did you say that the king's news was so accurate, how did the king know that the Mi family would have a batch of gold from Tancheng to Pengcheng? ”

"You are lonely about this, the Mi family is the richest man in Xuzhou, and there are countless wealths, and our king has long been eyeing the Mi family. So as early as a few months ago, I sent someone to the Mi family to inquire about the news, the first few times the Mi family was escorted by the army, so the king did not dare to act rashly, this time the Mi family escorted it himself, and the king did not do it, wouldn't it be a missed opportunity? It's so much gold, it's the first time I've seen ......."

Zhang Yan listened to it and basically determined that the batch of gold transported by Mi Fang was indeed robbed by this group. At the same time, he can also confirm that the person who deliberately left clues along the way is the beautiful woman who was brought back by this group.

Although Zhang Yan has never seen how beautiful this beauty is, just because this beauty can think of leaving jewelry as a clue, it is enough to prove that this beauty is also a smart person.

At this moment, there was a burst of cheers from the canyon, and two people who were also wearing yellow scarves on their heads came out of the canyon, each holding a jar of wine in their hands, and went to the entrance and drank with the four people.

From the conversation between the six people, Zhang Yan learned that the leader of this gang of thieves was happy because he had robbed a large amount of gold and captured beautiful women, and was now celebrating in the canyon.

Zhang Yan didn't stay any longer, and slowly retreated to the location where the Danyang soldiers were, waiting quietly.

About an hour passed, and the night grew darker. Zhang Yan saw that several people at the entrance of the canyon were drunk, fell asleep on the rocks, and the cheers in the canyon gradually disappeared, guessing that this gang of thieves was all drunk.

"Kill them all with me, but if you encounter resistance, you will be killed!" Zhang Yan's face was hideous, and he ordered the Danyang soldiers who were already impatient waiting behind him.

Zhang Yan took the lead, took out the waist knife he was wearing, and was the first to rush in from the entrance of the canyon, put away a knife, and beheaded one of the thieves guarding the entrance. The six mountain guards died silently in their sleep......

Everyone has been rushing to the canyon, walked a narrow long road, and suddenly opened up in front of them, there is a large open flat land in the canyon, dozens of grass houses are built next to the cliffs, hundreds of people lie on the ground, the air is filled with a great smell of alcohol, these people are all wrapped in yellow scarves, and they can't wake up from drinking.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan no longer killed, but asked his subordinates to tie up all these drunks together and prepare to capture them.

"Don't ...... You don't come over ......."

In the silence of the canyon, a shrill cry suddenly came out, it was a woman's voice.

Zhang Yan looked in the direction where the sound came from, but saw that there was a natural stone cave on the cliff, and the fire in the cave was bright, and the sharp sound came from there.

Without saying a word, he strode towards the stone cave, and in a moment, he had already reached the entrance of the cave, and rushed directly into it with the bloody waist knife in his hand.

There was not much space in the cave, and against the rock wall there was a stone bed covered with soft straw, and a woman with her clothes torn to shreds was curled up in the corner with wide, frightened eyes.

Her hair was shaggy and covered her entire face, making it impossible to see her countenance. She was unclothed, and she could vaguely see her high and bulging chest, her fair skin was covered with scratches, and her whole body was shivering from the cold and fear.

A shirtless strong man stood on the edge of the stone bed, perhaps because he was drunk, his feet could not stand, some staggered, and he hiccups from time to time.

"Well, I didn't expect it...... You're still a fierce woman...... However, I like you like this, and the more fierce you are, the more I like ......"

Before the strong man could finish speaking, a cold light flashed in the cave in an instant, and a human head directly detached from his body and fell to the ground, blood gushing out of the cavity, splashing everywhere in the hole.

Zhang Yan picked up a valuable fox fur coat from the ground and threw it directly to the woman who was curled up in the corner, and the coat fell down one after another, just covering the woman's body.

"Girl, the thief has been ambushed, you don't have to be afraid anymore."

After Zhang Yan said this, he lifted the human head on the ground and walked directly out of the cave.

The Danyang soldiers outside the cave moved quickly, had already tied up all these thieves, and found the location of the gold, and carried out the boxes one by one from a cave and placed them in the open space in the canyon.

At this time, the woman walked out of the stone cave, came to Zhang Yan's side in a fox fur, first bowed very elegantly, and then said: "Thank you for saving your life, the little girl is unforgettable!" ”

Zhang Yan turned around and saw a beautiful woman standing in front of him.

The woman's long hair was noblely coiled, looking dignified and elegant, and her jade-like cheeks were inlaid with two sparkling eyes like stars, as beautiful as a hibiscus out of water. She was not very old, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the smart eyes, long eyelashes, straight nose, and ruddy little mouth on her face, made her look as beautiful as a goddess descending from heaven, and she was extremely holy.

Although Zhang Yan knew that this woman was a beauty for a long time, he definitely didn't expect that this woman would have the appearance of a country and a city. Ten times, if not a hundred, times more beautiful than any woman he had ever seen.

Seeing that Zhang Yan had been staring at her stupidly, the woman suddenly blushed on her face, and turned her face shyly.

Zhang Yan felt out of shape and said busily: "It's just a gesture, why worry about it, the girl doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

The woman said: "The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring." Although the little girl doesn't read much, she also knows the truth of knowing the kindness of retribution. Dare to ask the adult's surname, and the little woman will definitely come to visit with a thank-you gift. ”

"My surname is Zhang, my name is Yan, and my character is ......"

"The word is clear." The woman suddenly scrambled to speak.

Zhang Yan was surprised, looked at the woman in front of him suspiciously, and asked, "Do you know me?" ”

The woman nodded and said slowly: "The adults are famous, and in the whole of Xuzhou, no one knows, and no one knows." It's just that I didn't expect us to meet in this way...... The little woman Mi Zhen has seen adults. ”

Zhang Yan asked curiously: "You are also surnamed Mi?" What is your relationship with Mi Zhu? ”
