"What do you mean by alerting the enemy? I haven't let them see the two people in the cell yet."
The two men were also tough-talking. Although they confessed a lot, they refused to say a word about the key things. They only revealed some information when they couldn't bear it anymore.
General Meng knocked on the table and said: "Leave the investigation to Governor He and he will identify the people. We are only responsible for sending troops."
The general understood and left in response.
From the people left behind by Fu Fu, Jin Kui'an finally got the news from Zhou Man and the others, "They left the city nine days ago. I heard they were going to the Western Regions, but I couldn't find out the specific route. Brother Fu followed them out of the city. He took a few people with him."
Bu Bu, he said he would find a way to get in among them."
Jin Kui'an, who had made two more trips, smashed the table in anger and said, "Let's go after him!"
He sneered: "Outside the customs is my territory. Even if we can't catch up, the rich will still have the opportunity to go back and mobilize our people. Their convoy moves slowly, and we will definitely be able to catch up."
Jin Kuian calculated in his mind that they had been traveling back and forth for more than a month. Zhou Man and the others only left the city nine days ahead of them. Counting today, it was only ten days, so they would definitely be able to catch up with them.
Just when he had settled down, there was a noise in the courtyard of the inn. Jin Kui'an raised his head, and Erge had already taken the initiative to go to the window and look down.
He turned around and said, "Officers and soldiers are coming to check our horses."
Jin Kui stood up angrily and said angrily: "This is the grassland, not their Central Plains. You have to register it when buying a horse. What do they want to do?"
Erge quickly stopped him, "We are still in the city, don't be impulsive."
Shazhou is different from other cities. It is an important border town. Except for the Yumen Pass, they have no channels to get out. Once someone kills someone in the city, they will not be able to get out.
Erge said: "You wait here, I'll go down and deal with it."
But Erge also had a hard time dealing with it. There was a fuss for half an hour, and finally Erge gave the person two ingots of silver before sending him away.
After the scolding yamen servants went out, they returned to the governor's house with a look of displeasure. They immediately put away the arrogance on their faces and handed over the money they received to the governor.
Governor He asked: "How?"
"They came in from outside the customs, saying they were visiting relatives and exchanging some goods. But the young men forcibly opened three bags, one of which contained noodles in thin bags, and the other two contained wheat bran. They
They say it’s food for horses, but if you look closely, those bags that say they contain cloth are mostly filled with wheat bran.”
"The leader's name is Jin Kui'an, but he didn't show up. The one who came down was a man named Erge. There was nothing wrong with his route, but the younger one mentioned a rich name to them and said that he was very nice when they drank with him before.
Being generous, unlike other people who are becoming more and more stingy now, Narg gave the young man two ingots of silver, and also hinted that they knew the rich man and were his friends."
"In other words, it's them?"
The officer thought for a while and then said: "Even if they are not them, they are not good people. They have the smell of blood on them."
Governor He understood and asked people to retreat.
Both Jin Kui'an and Erge were afraid of long nights and dreams, so they took their people out of the city the next day after getting the customs clearance documents in the evening.
The official road outside Shazhou City was very spacious, with green mountains on both sides. As soon as they came out of the gate, they started galloping. At first glance, there were no people on the entire official road, and a few people let their horses run away...
Suddenly the hoof of the horse collapsed, and the person on the horse flew directly out. The person who reacted quickly immediately held his head and fell to the ground without breaking his neck. However, the horse and person behind were blocked by the fallen horse and could not avoid it, so they fell off the horse.
He was trampled by chaotic horses...
There was chaos at the scene. Jin Kui'an shouted loudly and steered his horse over the fallen horse on the ground. Then he unsheathed his sword and commanded everyone to calm down. He steered the horse to hide to the side, and all the green hills on both sides appeared.
The soldiers pointed their bows and arrows at them condescendingly.
Dozens of horses came out of the forest to block them. General Meng waved his hand, and two people were thrown out of the team. He sneered and asked, "Fu Fu, are you talking about them?"
The team that had just managed to control the horses were filled with shock and anger. Some people couldn't help shouting angrily, "Fu Fu, you betrayed us!"
The rich man who was thrown to the ground was pale and had no blood at all.
Jin Kui'an's expression changed and he shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, being rich will not betray us."
But what went wrong?
After confirming their identities, General Meng sneered, shook his spear, pointed forward, "Fire the arrow!"
A well-prepared and ambushed army faced off against unprepared horse thieves. Is that even necessary?
It was simply a one-sided massacre.
Ergo chopped off the flying arrow and shouted to Jin Kui'an: "Let's go, rush out, quickly——"
Jin Kui'an took the twenty or thirty people who could cope with it and rushed forward to meet the card. General Meng and his people rushed forward...
A group of eighty horse thieves was not enough for his father to come in person. It would be better if he came for this kind of thing.
Then Jin Kui'an and Erge escaped with three injured people. General Meng and his men chased him for a long time. Seeing that it was getting dark, the accompanying guards immediately stopped him and said, "Major General, we can't pursue anymore. We have to go back."
City report."
General Meng was very angry and asked: "How can we let the bandit leader go?"
So what can you do if you can't beat him? Who knew Jin Kui'an could beat ten with one?
General Meng was so angry that he waved his gun fiercely and had to go back to plead guilty to his father.
General Meng frowned, "You brought three hundred people, half of whom brought bows and arrows, and you laid an ambush in advance, but you couldn't catch anyone?"
General Meng knelt on the ground and lowered his head and said, "My son is not good at martial arts. Please punish me by my father."
The general on the side hurriedly explained: "General, that Jin Kui'an is very brave, but I only received one blow from him in my humble position. Look."
General Meng glanced at his tiger's mouth and found that it was somewhat cracked and the bones must have been injured, so he frowned slightly.
The partial general said quickly: "The young general can not only catch his sword, but also hurt the opponent, which is already very powerful."
General Meng snorted coldly and said to General Meng, "You go and receive the punishment yourself."
General Meng bowed his head in agreement and got up to go.
General Meng then asked the general, "How many have been captured?"
"Twenty-six were captured. I don't know how many are still alive now."
"Jin Kui'an?" General Meng frowned, "Jin? The name sounds familiar. I remember that there used to be a slave general named Kui'an under Bazhuo. He was very brave. General Zuo Ling reminded me before, but then Ba Zhuo
Zhuo ran to Huihe and was killed, and his men surrendered and dispersed. Did he go to the outside of the pass and become a horse thief?"
The general thought for a while and said, "It really could be him. The knife in his hand is very good, but it cannot be beaten by ordinary horse thieves. General, he has already escaped, do we still want to chase him?"
