"Stop him!" Liu Hong didn't even know what Yang Xingyan looked like, and he never expected that the person being intercepted could actually use the technique of cutting off his tail to survive. He was caught off guard and only shouted one sentence.
After saying that, he raised his sword and fought with Yang Yunqing who was rushing over.
"Stop him, stop him!"
"Don't run. If you run again, you'll shoot!"
"Even if you run to the edge of the world, Han Tixing will not let you go!"
The grain men who came with Liu Hong to chase Yang Xingyan had no idea which one he was ordering to stop first. They shouted in confusion and divided their troops into two groups. Two of them besieged Yang Yunqing from the side, and the other three rode their horses to chase Yang Xingyan.
.
As for Yang Yunqing, as the governor of the Southern Division of the Liao Kingdom, his martial arts skills were certainly not bad. Although his mount was injured, he was one against three and still did not fall behind at all.
"I am not Yang Xingyan, I am really Li Wenbin, the leader of his army. The one who ran away is, otherwise the soldiers should live and die with me instead of following him!" While fighting with his sword, Yang Yunqing did not forget his side.
He defended himself loudly and hoped that his opponent would be "smarter" and chase Yang Xingyan quickly so that he could take the opportunity to escape.
However, God opened his eyes tonight. Just when he felt that his opponent's attacks had begun to slow down, two strong men came around on foot, each holding a big stone, and hit him hard on the crotch.
Mount, "This bad guy is Yang Xingyan's dog-headed military advisor. General Liu, don't be fooled by him!"
However, brothers Yuan Kun and Yuan Bao did not know how to fight immediately, so they jumped off their mounts and picked up stones from the roadside to help.
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," Yang Yunqing's horse had just been stabbed in the buttocks, and now it was hit with a bloody head. Suddenly it could no longer hold up, and it fell to the ground with a mournful scream.
"Ah——" Yang Yunqing was caught off guard, one of his legs was crushed by the horse's back, and he screamed in pain.
"Yuan Kun, Yuan Bao, I'll leave him to you! Others, follow me to chase Yang Xingyan!" Liu Hong didn't care about this man's life and death at all. Without saying a word, he drew his horse and chased into the dark wilderness.
Relying on the direction in his memory, he quickly chased him for more than half a mile. But he was shocked to find that the three grain men who initially split up to chase Yang Xingyan were looking around with bulging bellies, while the target who was supposed to be captured
, but there is no trace.
"Why did you three stop? Where was Yang Xingyan? Why did you let him run away?" Liu Hong's head buzzed, and in an instant, his anger rushed to the top door.
As one of the four major archers in Jinniuzhai, he has a close relationship with Han Qing. However, because he was timid at first, he did not go to join him as soon as he learned that Han Qing was an official.
slow.
Nowadays, Wang Wu has become the eighth-rank supervisor of the Punishment and Prison Department by virtue of his eloquence. Zhang Fan has also become the eighth-rank supervisor of the Crane Control Department because of his loyalty. However, he is still a ninth-rank supervisor.
If you lose the other two people, you will inevitably hand them over and call yourself a lower official.
Therefore, following Han Qing thousands of miles to conquer the rebels, Liu Hong was holding back his energy in his heart to make a great contribution.
Although the task assigned tonight was to lead the grain men to light torches and create suspicion, after the victory was secured, he did not ask for any instructions and made his own decision, letting brothers Yuan Kun and Yuan Bao take him to take a shortcut to the front of the mountain to surround Yang Xingyan.
.
Liu Hong was overjoyed just now when he discovered that he had indeed blocked the "rightful owner" as he wished. He thought that by dedicating three grain men to chase the bereaved dog, even if they could not capture Yang Xingyan on the spot, they would at least be able to bite him firmly.
This person's "tail" is waiting for him to rush over to support him.
However, he never expected that the three grain workers would actually lose the chase, making their work in vain.
There is no need to ask the reason why he was lost. Although Liu Hong was entangled by Yang Yunqing before and was unable to pursue Yang Xingyan, he could still hear the words Yang Xingyan shouted when he ran for his life.
Gold! Yang Xingyan lost the gold on the ground. The three grain workers were greedy for money and just picked up the gold, so they wasted time and allowed Yang Xingyan to escape.
"Liu Yasi, calm down!" The three grain men also knew that they missed important things because of their greed for money. Each of them took out two gold ingots from their arms and held them in front of Liu Hong. "These are the filial piety of the young men."
.Yang Xingyan has done many bad things, and the people around him will definitely not take him in. If he only carries gold without dry food and horse feed, he will definitely not be able to run far!"
"Oshi, please calm down. It's not that we don't chase the young ones. The young ones are of low ability. With three against three, if we catch up with them, they will definitely die under Yang Xingyan's knife!"
"Oshi, calm down, we have clearly seen where Thief Yang is going. If we pursue him in this direction, we will definitely be able to bite him!"
"You are short-sighted!" Even at night, the reflection on the surface of the gold ingot was very warm. Liu Hong could no longer lift the hand holding the knife. He gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.
"Oshi, we are all hard-working grain workers, unlike you, who has a bright future. Of course, we can only see the little benefit in front of us!" Seeing that the murderous look on Liu Hong's face had disappeared, the three grain workers immediately obeyed.
Follow his words to find a way for yourself, "You keep it safe. You are always in the officialdom. You will have more places to spend money in the future. Unlike the younger ones, you can feed yourself and the whole family will not be hungry!"
"Take out all the gold ingots you have!" Liu Hong gave the three of them a hard look and ordered in a deep voice, "Be proactive and don't force me to send people to search your bodies!"
When the three grain men heard this, veins popped up on their foreheads. However, when they saw Liu Hong, two more brothers had followed him. They looked at each other, slowly put their hands into their arms again, and took a tablet.
Take one ingot and dig out the gold.
"I'm not greedy for your gold. I'm doing it for your own good. There is no airtight wall in the world. If you were sentenced and found out, you let Yang Xingyan go in order to pick up the gold. Even if he was soft-hearted and let you go, the military law will not
Let you go!" Liu Hong did not dare to push the three grain workers too hard. After thinking for a while, he explained in a low voice, "Unless you three kill me and escape now. However, the three of you are all from Jingdong.
Donglu, if you run away by yourself, your family will definitely be implicated!"
"I don't dare, I don't dare!" The three grain clerks heard this and immediately raised their hands in sweat.
The three of them had indeed had murderous intentions just now. However, they thought they might not be able to defeat Liu Hong, and they were not sure about the attitude of the other two grain workers who came with them, so they could only give in for the time being.
At this moment, after listening to Liu Hong's analysis, he did not have the courage to kill the official and abscond, so he could only follow the other party's arrangements.
"Han Ti is kind and kind. After turning in the gold, at least 20% will be rewarded and distributed among us. At that time, I won't take my share and will give it all to your three brothers." Seeing that the three grain men had been frightened by him, Liu
Hong breathed a long sigh of relief, and then promised in a relatively soft voice, "The two of you will be able to share in it by then."
"Thank you, Liu Yasi!" The five grain clerks were all overjoyed and bowed in unison.
Liu Hong glanced at everyone and waved his hands gently, "No need to thank me. Now, count the gold, wrap it in a dry food bag, and put it on your back. Then, follow me and continue chasing Yang Xingyan. Don't just look at the gold."
, To tell you the truth, Yang Xingyan’s head is worth more than gold! Cut it off and give it to Han Tixuan, I guarantee that the benefits will be three times what you are seeing now!"
"Yes, Aji!"
"Oshiji Hideaki, we are willing to do your best!"
The grain workers agreed in a noisy manner, and then they counted the gold ingots in front of Liu Hong and packed the dry grain bags.
The three grain men from before must have something secret in their arms. Liu Hong could guess it, but he didn't want to force the three of them to take risks. Therefore, he simply chose to turn a blind eye.
After the grain workers finished collecting the gold, he immediately led everyone and continued to chase Yang Xingyan on horseback. He chased him for more than thirty miles in one breath, and saw that the eastern sky began to shine, but not even Yang Xingyan's shadow could be seen.
Didn't catch up.
The horse under the crotch could not stand the long distance and high speed running, and snorted. Liu Hong was unwilling to give up, but had no choice but to ask everyone to stop and rest.
After feeding his mount soybeans and water, he got on the horse again, but he didn't know where he was. Only then did Liu Hong realize that he and the grain men around him were all outsiders and didn't know the road at all. But Yuan Kunhe
The Yuan Bao brothers had previously obeyed his order to deal with the dog-headed military advisor who fell off his horse and broke his leg, but he forgot to ask them to follow him!
"This is terrible!" Liu Hong suddenly wanted to cry without tears.
If you don't even know the road, it's certainly impossible to catch up with Yang Xingyan.
After finding the local people and asking for directions, he returned to Zhaoyuan Village in despair. It was estimated that the battlefield there had been cleared long ago and would not leave any chance for him to make meritorious deeds.
It would be okay if the gold was not seized. He could hide his shame by just saying that he had not met Yang Xingyan. But he still had hundreds of taels of gold ingots on hand.
If you don't hand it over, if you are found out in the future, your future will be ruined. If you hand it over, you will have to confess where the gold came from, and you will immediately become the laughing stock of your old brothers.
Just when I wanted to find a big tree to bump my head against, the shouts of brothers Yuan Kun and Yuan Bao came from the distance, "Don't run away, you surnamed Yang, you are getting your retribution! All uncles who got up early, hurry up and help catch the traffickers."
!”
"Catch the human trafficker and don't let him escape. He might come and steal your child one day!"
"Catch the traffickers!"
"Human traffickers stop!"
"Human traffickers should be cut to pieces!"
More voices came, but it was local people who got up early and came to help out of anger.
"This way!" In an instant, Liu Hong's eyes were so happy that his eyes darkened, he galvanized his mount and headed straight for the direction where the sound came from.
As soon as he rushed up a gentle slope, he saw a disheveled man holding a horse's neck and running away at the entrance of the village that suddenly appeared. Two brothers, Yuan Kun and Yuan Bao, were holding steel knives and riding horses in hot pursuit.
In the diagonal thorn, there were more than a dozen farmers who had gotten up early to fertilize their crops. They walked towards the disheveled man's mount. They lifted up the manure forks, manure spoons and other farm tools in their hands and smashed them at the man's body.
In the blink of an eye, the disheveled man was knocked off his mount. Then, more than a dozen dung spoons were thrown down, causing red and white splashes!
