It's September and late autumn is approaching.

The trees are all in autumn colors, and the mountains are only covered with the setting sun. Travelers look at each other without knowing each other, and they sing long songs to pick up the weeping flowers.

To the south of Kyoto is Yongzhou.

This place is located in the heart of Daliang, the north-south thoroughfare, the throat of Kyoto, and its commerce and trade is very developed.

After passing Pingyuan Town, you enter the boundary of Yongzhou.

The town is named Pingyuan because the surrounding land is flat and flat.

The rice fields next to the official road were already a heavy harvest scene. The farmers were working in the rice fields, and their sweat was sprinkled on the fields, blending with the soil. Suddenly, a group of more than 20 knights swept past the official road on horseback, except for the local dogs beside the road.

He barked several times but did not attract the farmers, who were facing the loess and back to the sky, to look up.

This group of knights had one person and two horses, and their riding skills were superb. When passing through Pingyuan Town, they only fetched some water and bought a few bags of dry food in the town, and then continued on without any delay.

This official road leads directly from Kyoto to Yaoshan City, an important town in the south, passing through the five states and with more than ten large cities along the way.

The nearest one is Yongzhou City.

The leader among the knights has a face as beautiful as a crown jade, and a pair of extremely beautiful peach blossom eyes that sparkle.

It was Gu Fan, the fourth son of Marquis Guangping.

The knights were very good at controlling their horses. They looked calm while galloping and chatted leisurely.

Gu Fan asked loudly to the person next to him: "Are you sure there is something wrong with the caravan in Qibao Pavilion?"

The man's voice was rough and he replied: "Master, my subordinates found out in Baima Town that the caravan from Qibao Pavilion stopped in Baima Town for no reason after crossing Qishui. At most, it only takes

Why did they stop there for an hour? Besides, Baima Town is not far from Luliu Village, only Qishui separates it."

Gu Fan joked: "You kid looks at the five big and three thick people, but your mind is narrower than a needle."

The other knights burst out laughing.

The man was not worried and said righteously: "My subordinates must pay attention to what the commander-in-chief and the young master have told me."

Gu Fan smiled and scolded: "Stop pretending, when they find me, I will tell my father and invite you to go to Duzhong and have a cool night!"

"Thank you, Master!"

"Young Master is awesome!"

"Follow the young master and you will have meat to eat!"

"There are still women to sleep with!"

A group of rough and powerful soldiers were flattering, but they were too vulgar, which made Gu Fan look helpless.

After galloping for more than half an hour, the sky was getting dark. Pingyuan Town was still dozens of miles away from Yongzhou City. Gu Fan thought for a while and said to everyone: "Find a place to rest for the night and recharge your batteries. Tomorrow, you guys will go find those in Qibao Pavilion."

Birdman talk."

"yes!"

Everyone agreed and walked for more than ten miles and found an old temple beside the road.

After placing the horses, everyone came to the temple. The main hall was not big, but fortunately it was relatively clean. There were still remaining sacrifices on the altar table. A few soldiers got dry firewood from outside and quickly lit a fire.

, in fact, they are not afraid of the coolness in the autumn night now, mainly to drive away mosquitoes.

Gu Fan took out dry food and water from his bag, sat in the corner, ate and drank slowly, and listened to the soldiers talking nonsense, with a smile on his face.

"Master, is the young master of the Pei family really a bastard?" The soldier with a rough voice from before came over and asked.

Gu Fan swallowed the last handful of dry food and glared: "It's none of your business? What happened to the bastard?"

The soldier was not afraid, and said with a flattering smile: "Master, don't be angry, I just asked casually. Mainly because I heard the master praise him so much, and I don't believe that he is a bastard."

Gu Fan slapped him on the forehead and cursed with a smile: "I am still a bastard. Do you have the ability to say it in front of him?"

The soldier did not dare to dodge, then scratched his neck and said: "The commander will not beat me for this kind of thing, unless I don't pay attention when practicing, then it will be over."

Because they are very familiar with each other, or Gu Fan grew up with these people, they are very close to each other and will not put on airs in front of them. However, seeing that the soldiers were very interested in this topic, they couldn't help but curse:

"When did I say that he is so powerful? Yes, he did something small. How can he compare with me?"

"Yes, yes, the young master is right!" He quickly agreed with his wit.

Gu Fan shook his hands and said righteously: "Take the matter of dealing with the bandits that night as an example. Without me standing at the front to block the bandits' attack, how would he have the chance to mobilize his troops? You idiots

I don’t understand it at all. It’s just a way of embellishment. Although Pei Yue is a little bit more powerful, I am even more powerful! Do you understand the foil? You guys who are unlearned and have no skills.”

One of the soldiers laughed and said: "Master, if you force me to study, you might as well ask me to find a woman to sleep with."

Gu Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said: "It's not like my father won't give you leave, so why would he do this? What do you want me to say -"

His voice stopped suddenly, and his eyes suddenly shot towards the temple door.

The soldiers stood up quickly and stared coldly at the uninvited guests.

Night had fallen outside the door, and the visitor seemed to suddenly appear from the night, standing upright at the door.

This is a plain-faced woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with eyes like knives, eyebrows like blades, and a fierce temperament that makes it easy for people to ignore her actually pretty appearance.

The most important thing is that she is holding a long gun in her right hand.

The tip of the gun glowed coldly.

The soldiers picked up the weapons at hand, but Gu Fan did not stop him. He looked at the woman and said, "Who are you?"

The woman said indifferently: "Don't go to Yongzhou."

Gu Fan slowly stood up and said with a half-smile, "You want to stop me?"

The woman nodded and said, "Yes."

Gu Fan curled his lips and said mockingly: "Qibao Pavilion is so courageous. They actually dare to hire murderers in the capital."

The woman shook her head and said, "I'm not from Qibao Pavilion."

Gu Fan narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "If it's not the case, why are you stopping me from going to Yongzhou? Why don't you sit down and have a chat?"

Two words came out of the woman's mouth: "Long-winded."

Then he took a step forward, and the spear was as powerful as a swimming dragon. In the blink of an eye, more than ten spear flowers shook out from the tip of the spear, covering all the soldiers and Gu Fan.

Gu Fan's pupils shrank suddenly.

He has seen many masters of spear-wielding, among whom Yin Wei, the father of Yin Dao, Duke of Qi, is the strongest. The Yin family spear is very famous in the Liang Army. At that time, the ancestor of the Yin family ranked third among the founding princes, with a domineering shot.

The incomparable spear was only defeated by Pei Yuan. Gu Fan also asked Yin Wei for advice. Even though he had excellent martial arts talent, he still couldn't defeat the opponent in ten moves.

However, at this time in this old temple, he actually saw a marksmanship that was only two points inferior to Yin Wei's, and his opponent was just a woman under the age of twenty.

In the midst of lightning and flint, the sound of weapons clashing exploded in the temple, and then the soldiers were shot away one after another by the barrels of their guns.

The power of the spear has not yet been exhausted, and it goes straight to Gufanzhong Palace. It presses forward without hesitation and destroys the boat!

The soldiers were shocked.

Gu Fan was extremely calm at this moment, and the spiritual stage was clear between life and death. When the tip of the gun was only half a foot away from him, he suddenly bent back and lay flat in the air. He supported the ground with his hands and then kicked the woman's right hand holding the gun.

The woman's face was expressionless, and she waved her left hand down and patted Gu Fan on the instep.

Then he stepped forward, shot back, and kicked Nakatani Fan in the thigh.

"boom!"

Gu Fan was kicked straight away and hit the old altar table, causing dust and mist to fill the temple.

The soldiers, with their beards and hair spread out, stepped forward to besiege the woman without fear of death.
