Chapter 17 Death

In early February, the ice and snow had melted and fed back to the earth, the soil became soft, the trees and grass sprouted, and everything recovered from the pale winter. Now it was time for farming to begin, and there were business trips on the road. The farmer brought children and women to the city to buy seeds or farm tools. A carriage was parked near the pavilion and was about to set off to a new place. A woman stood beside the carriage and told a man who was climbing onto the carriage, her eyes were slightly red, but during the conversation, they knew that it was a sibling.

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

"I know..."

The woman wiped the tears and told her: "You are doing business with those horse thieves. Remember not to mess with each other. They are all fighting with the Huns. They kill without blinking. It's nothing that our family suffers a little loss, do you know?"

"I know." The man nodded seriously, poked the groom quietly, and the car started to move. He quickly waved his hand: "Sister, I'll go now, you can wait for news at home."

He shouted to the woman, turned around and got into the carriage, lifted up the curtains and looked at the pedestrians, cars and horses passing by the road, and the green grass in the mountains. Finally, he felt free from the constraints, and shook his head and smiled faintly.

How powerful can a group of horse thieves be? They just took advantage of the Huns' robbery and ran to the other party's house to show their power. But even if they had killed anyone, they were just a group of savages. Do they dare to touch me? I am also the brother-in-law of the governor of Bingzhou. If these horse thieves follow me, they will benefit from it. Of course... If they really surrender, it is natural to benefit from it.

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

After staying for a while, he had already thought of a lot, and then... he thought of the search for fun, "I don't know if the woman in Yanmen is fun."

So he asked the coachman to speed up the speed, and on the afternoon of the third day, he had already arrived at the boundary of Yanmen County.

On the evening, the group had just entered the gate of the Yinguan. The prefect Guo Zhi held a banquet to greet him personally. The lights were circulating, and he drank it. The wine-filled wine cup was gently placed on the short table. The gentle man looked at the other person sitting opposite Hou Jie, and inquiring tone: "This hero..."

"He is a general of my brother-in-law and I am well-off." Hou Jie knelt down and picked and chose in the meals with long chopsticks. "He is also named Hou, and his name is Cheng. It is just the Hou family in Taiyuan. If it is not my family, don't confuse the prefect."

The atmosphere became stiff and the chopsticks hovered. The man named Hou Cheng on the opposite side frowned and his face darkened.

Ascendant, Guo Zhen's eyes flashed with a smile. He walked down with his two small ears holding the cupboard and bowed to the tall man: "It's a real hero. Hou Jie is just careless, so don't take it seriously."

"How dare anyone in the last minute?" Hou Cheng replied, drank the wine from the cup, then put it down, and bowed to Guo Zheng, "Duang, please do not relieve my troubles. Hou did what he did, just for the governor's instructions."

After saying that, he sat down again, ate and drank.

On the opposite side, Hou Jie snorted and ignored the other party. After all, he still had to rely on the other party to protect him. As the book said, he could just take advantage of his power. You can't force him too much. It's probably that... he thought.

Then, he talked about the White Wolf Raw Horse Thieves with the prefect Guo Zhi. After knowing that the other party was really as cruel as he expected, he laughed out loud, "A group of horse thieves is cruel, which means there is no scheming behind it, otherwise he would not have fought the Huns with his life. Ordinary people are naturally afraid of seeing them."

The smiling figure waved his hand, as if commanding thousands of troops.

Guo Zhi smiled and nodded repeatedly: "I didn't expect that Mr. Jianyang's wife's brother also had such experience. It's amazing... amazing!!"

"Hahaha... I have vision! I feel the same way. I think my sister has been tying me and tied me up, as if she is afraid of being harmed by others. Now that the blue bird has finally gone to the sky, the bear and the tiger have returned to the mountain, I will do something so that my brother-in-law and sister can look at her with admiration... Hahaha... those horse thieves are the first thing to do... Hahaha!"

Guo Zhi picked up the cup and gestured, pursed his lips over the drink, looked at the proud figure, and the corners of his mouth curled up. Mr. Jianyang was rough and martial, but he didn't have such a look, otherwise he would not be able to sit in the state's parents. It seems that he was interested. A young man like Hou Jie, who is a little older, is still just a young man.

"You really deserve to listen to your sister." He thought, but did not say it out.

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

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

A tender grass bud emerged from the soil, and a horse's hooves stomped over, turning the muddy, and bursts of muddy thunder came from far and near. The rumbling sound spread across the earth. The horse's hooves fell on the grass like rain, rolling up grass and soil.

The hazy sky light rose from the east, and the two or three hundred cavalrymen, wearing split jackets and waving scimitars, plunged into the nearby hills with a scattered momentum.

A spacious road was empty in the dense woods. The cavalry had slowed down when they came in, then turned over and dismounted, patted the horses' butts, and let them eat the shrubs and grass by themselves. A figure wearing a cloak carried a bloody head and walked towards the oncoming scholar...

"Pick the head of the leader of the Bayan tribe, pickle it for me and place it in a conspicuous place." Gongsun Zhi waved his hand and threw the bloody head to the other party.

Dongfang Sheng was so scared that he threw the head in his hand, with a disgusting expression on his face, "Chang Yan can't last forever... Chang Shan will last forever. Can we not always do this kind of thing..."

Over there, Gongsun Zhi, who had drunk clear water, 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 slaughtered his tribe."

More than a dozen wives of all sizes around the pool had their husbands taken off their blood-stained clothes, squatting by the water to clean them. The bright red color spread in the water. On the other side, several horse thieves scooped water and drank it without caring. After hearing Gongsun Zhi say, someone raised his head and echoed loudly: "Well, that old guy has a 300 person in his hand, what do you think? In the end, he was shaved by the leader with a knife."

The voices of talking in the forest fluctuated and, as it was almost noon, a figure riding a horse quickly returned to the bottom of the hills, handed the horse to his companions, and hurriedly ran into the wolf's den and saw Gongsun Zhi who was discussing things with Gao Sheng. After whispering a few words in his ear.

Bang—

A basin of firewood placed near the stone mount flew out and hit the cave wall. When Mars flew everywhere, Gongsun Zhi withdrew his hand, turned around and sat back on the stone chair, closed his eyes and fell silent.

Gao Sheng, the Sour Religious Chao, sent a look on his face, and the latter came forward and asked, "Chief, what happened to me?"

"During the time we went out, the people who traded with us in the Yinguan were replaced. Zhang Liaosuo was transferred to Jinyang. The things that were traded this time were suppressed by the new manager. The brothers who traded in the past had a dispute with each other and were killed." Gongsun Zhi said in a deep voice.

Gao Sheng stood up with a bang, knocked down the stone bench, and shouted loudly: "It doesn't matter if the thing is lost, what should we do, brothers? That dog thing really thinks that our knife is not good."

"Let's panic." Dongfang Sheng stroked the short beard under his chin and took a few steps: "In my opinion, the other party is demonstrating to the leader, so we are afraid of him."

"You see, no!" Gao Sheng cursed: "That guy obviously wants us to listen to him in the future."
