The autumn wind is rustling, cold and biting, making people feel chilly.
As if the autumn wind had penetrated his spinal cord along the seams between his bones, fine cold sweat broke out on Yang Dong's back.
On the other side... there are archers in ambush!
At this time, he could neither ascend to the sky nor descend to the ground. He had only a single log to stand on, and he was carrying a live donkey.
A true point of no return.
In the eyes of archers in the dark, they are simply living targets.
He blurted out: "Who?"
I don't know if he was too frightened, but he could hardly hear the hoarse sound.
At the same time, someone from the other side shouted: "Who are you?"
Yang Dong was shocked and angry. Because he was angry, he regained some energy and shouted with all his strength: "I didn't ask you, but you asked me? Why are you hiding in the grass and plotting against your uncle! You
...Do you know that I am a martyr of the imperial court? To plot against a martyr, are you a sinister demon?"
At the end of his sentence, his voice actually became quieter, and he suddenly thought to himself: What if he is really a demon? Can he still run away?
The other party sneered twice and said: "A righteous man? What is a righteous man? If you throw a brick at my master's door, you can hit three of them. What's more, there are many liars pretending to be righteous these days. After killing two chickens, they dare to shout that they will kill them themselves."
More than ferocious beasts.”
Yang Dong was furious and shouted: "Fart, I have been certified by the imperial court! I have made meritorious service to the country! Your master... ah? Is your master a Heyang hero?"
The other party sneered and said, "Are you pretending to be stupid? What a little thief, do you think you can escape the crime of stealing just by saying you don't know that I am a disciple of Hero Heyang?"
Yang Dong was stunned and stammered: "Stealing? Me...me?"
The other party said loudly: "Taking without telling anyone is a thief! This mountain, the forest on the mountain, and the leaves on the forest are not our Mr.
Yang Dong was in confusion and said: "I...I want to build a bridge..."
The man said sternly: "Why are you building a bridge over the river in our master's house? Did our master give you permission? What kind of bullshit righteous man are you? Our master is still a hero! If you don't pay compensation today, just keep some."
Just something."
Yang Dong is also a Jianghu man, so he naturally knows that "leaving things behind" does not refer to things outside the body. He was so angry that his veins bulged, but at this time, he was in mid-air, pointing a bow and arrow at others, which was completely unreasonable. He only said: "He Yang
I have seen the style of the Daxia Mansion. Unfortunately, I have to go all the way to find him... How much do you want?"
When he said the words of resignation, his heart suddenly lost its breath, and his strength was exhausted. The donkey on his head felt heavy. But the donkey kept shouting and struggling. He really wanted to throw the stubborn donkey into a ditch.
, but he didn't dare to move rashly, for fear that if he made a big move, he would alert the other party.
The man said: "Don't squeal, it seems that we have wronged you. For one hundred taels of silver, I showed mercy and let you go."
Yang Dong blurted out: "Why don't you go and grab it?"
Immediately afterwards, he realized that the other party threatened with violence and demanded property. Wasn't this an open robbery?
To say that he always encounters various dangers when he is wandering around in the world, it’s not like he doesn’t know that the green hills are still there, so he doesn’t have to worry about running out of firewood. If he had money, he would endure it by gritting his teeth and losing money to avoid disasters.
But there really isn't.
One hundred taels of silver is neither too much nor too little. It can buy dozens of acres of land and provide for a family of five to live comfortably for five years. It can go to the best restaurant and set up ten tables of swallow-wing banquets.
A few bottles of good wine. For some wealthy people, it may be a night of romance. But Yang Dong is not from a wealthy family. It takes a lot of money to practice martial arts, and it costs a lot to travel thousands of miles. At this moment, there is really nothing that can be found on him.
silver.
The other party said: "This is already an advantage for you. I see that you are very poor, so I specially give you a discount. You are a righteous man, but you don't even have a hundred taels of silver? Then you don't have to think about moving forward, Heyang Daxia Mansion
It's not for poor people like you."
Yang Dong was embarrassed and extremely disappointed at the same time. He murmured: "Does the Heyang hero also care about money? Isn't it said that he is generous with his righteousness and spares his wealth, and his righteousness is extremely low?"
The other party sneered and said: "Poor people really have wishful thinking. I don't think you can come up with the money. Well, I'll give you another chance. If you just stand there and don't move, I'll shoot you with an arrow. That's the end of it."
Yang Dong narrowed his eyes and stared at a cold light in the bushes.
That's an arrow, a murderous weapon.
His heart was chilling, and Yang Dong's tongue was frozen. He couldn't say "good" or "bad." In terms of the courage of Jianghu people to defeat others, he should go out and scream, it would be like an execution ground.
The robber who shouted "Twenty years later will be a hero again", but he just didn't have the courage, which was different from what he imagined himself to be.
The man just urged: "Why, you don't dare? You don't have money even if you want money, and you can't risk your life. People like you are still wandering around in the world and are still alive today. You are so lucky..."
Yang Dong only felt a ringing in his ears and felt dizzy for a moment. He looked down and saw the deep ditch at his feet. He suddenly had an idea: It would be better to fall headlong to avoid being bullied like this.
At this time, I heard a voice saying loudly: "Don't push people too hard! I have one hundred taels of silver... um..."
Before he finished speaking, his voice was cut off, as if someone had covered his mouth.
Yang Dong recognized that it was the young man who said it. He must have wanted to take over the debt, but the young man next to him stopped him.
He had mixed feelings for a moment, he was grateful, ashamed, and a little angry, but he was directed at the young man: That kid is willing to help me, why do you have to stop him? Are you afraid that I won't pay back the money I owe? As long as I relieve myself for a while
I will definitely repay him tenfold or a hundredfold! What are you afraid of?
The person opposite suddenly laughed and said: "Hey, is there a rich man here? Look at the way this rich man is dressed, tsk tsk, he is wearing a white dragon fish suit. Is he paying a private visit incognito?"
The young man who was being held tightly by the young man next to him struggled to get out and said loudly: "I am not a rich man! I have no money, you... do you think how much is this thing worth? If it is valuable, I will give it to you, don't force this righteous man.
He is a hero for the country and the people, and he should not be forced to this point!"
As he spoke, he untied the cotton-padded jacket outside, revealing a golden collar around his neck, with a longevity lock hanging on it, and the lock was inlaid with white jade of good quality.
Longevity locks and collars are jewelry often worn by children. They hope that their children will be free from disasters and live a long life, embodying the parents' full love for their babies.
The young man rubbed his fingers on the collar, his fingertips trembling slightly, he pursed his lips tightly and looked at the sky, as if he was trying to hold back his reluctance.
Yang Dong's back was turned to him and he couldn't see his expression, but he could hear the reluctance in the little scholar's voice. For a moment, his blood surged and he wanted to refuse, but in the face of a life-related crisis, he couldn't forcefully spit it out.
After saying the entire sentence, I felt extremely ashamed and my face gradually turned purple.
The man in the shadow was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said: "Every time a person is killed in a righteous manner, it seems that it is not always the case. Come here."
The young man was puzzled and took a few steps as he was told.
The man said: "Okay, just stand here. Turn your body sideways, right -"
"laugh--"
The bowstring moves and the sharp arrow shoots out!
An arrow shot through the air and broke the lock of the Longevity Lock from a distance of more than ten feet, and then disappeared into the ginkgo forest with the golden lock.
The young man was completely confused, but Yang Dong was not confused. After all, he was experienced in many battles. At this time, he was so blessed that he shouted loudly, raised his donkey and threw it towards the bushes!
It is true that the donkey was too heavy and barely fell on the bank and could not hit the target, but it also disturbed the sight. Yang Dong pulled out the knife with his backhand, crossed the bridge in several long strides, and only pounced on the bushes that made him stare at the bleeding.
!
puff--
A straight slash with the sword is as powerful as breaking a bamboo!
With the blessing of his anger, this sword was sharper than the one that split the tree. It was a severe blow that he had never experienced before. If that damn archer was still in the bush, he would definitely be cut in two.
Unfortunately, no!
With a clang, it passed through the branches and leaves of the shrubs, and finally the blade struck directly on the ground. Only a broken branch remained, and there was no trace of anyone.
Yang Dong roared unwillingly, holding up his knife and slashing left and right, cutting the jungle to pieces. He still didn't see the enemy. He had no choice but to put the knife on the ground and huff and puff.
After a while, he straightened up and yelled: "Come out! You have the ability to sneak attack, but why don't you dare to confront me? Coward! Come on, your uncle, let's see if he doesn't pull your head off.
!”
He roared twice more until his voice became hoarse, and then he took a short rest. He was still not satisfied, and he couldn't help but step on the branches underground.
When his breath calmed down a little, he turned around and saw the young man still in a daze on the other side of the bridge, shouting: "What are you doing? Why don't you pick up your things?"
The young man replied: "I can't go. Since that expert shot down my safety lock, he must want it. What should I do if I go looking for him and meet him?"
The young man wanted to look for him just now, but he stopped him.
Yang Dong found that this child was as careful as a hair. When he thought of that person, he felt angry. He raised his knife and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you to find him. If he doesn't come, just ask him. If he comes, ask him to ask me."
The knife will agree or not."
The young man said: "Actually, I have promised to compensate him..."
Yang Dong scolded: "That's nonsense, have you asked me? What's compensation? It's clearly blackmail. When I find that bastard, ask him to say it again to my knife, how much does a tree cost? If he pays back
Dare he say a hundred taels of silver? I asked him how much his head is worth? Come with me." After that, cross the bridge first and look for the place where the arrow flew.
The three of them followed the arrow's trajectory and chased it all the way into the ginkgo forest.
However, after all, this arrow only has one direction and does not know the distance. There are fallen leaves everywhere in the huge forest, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The three of them searched separately for nearly two hours, but still found no trace.
The young man straightened up and said, "No need to look for it. Someone must have taken it away."
Yang Dong breathed angrily, punched the tree, and said: "It seems that bastard took it. He is from Daxia Xue's house. Let's go to Xue's house and find Daxia Heyang to seek justice and ask him to pay compensation."
you."
After hearing this, the young man became depressed and said, "Master Xue... is he the kind of person who can uphold justice?"
Yang Dong was not confident either, so he held on and said: "Why not? The reputation of Master Xue... is it fake? Being famous is not as good as meeting. The Xue Mansion is right in front of you, so I have to go and see it."
The young man cheered up a little and said: "A righteous man..."
Yang Dong waved his hand and said: "It's too confusing to be a righteous person and not a righteous person. My name is Yang Dong, what's your name?"
The young man cupped his hands and said, "Student Tang Zhao."
Yang Dong read it again and said: "Is soup the soup that you drink soup? Which Zhao is Zhao?"
The young man said: "There is a call next to the word "日". Youth is grateful, and the sun shines brightly. The original meaning is bright sunshine." He pointed to the young man again, "This is Sui eldest brother Sui Feng." Sui Feng bowed repeatedly.
Yang Dong clicked his tongue and said: "You are a scholar after all. What you say is all anecdotes. But I think little brother, you are a real knight, no, more chivalrous than a real knight. Let's go, let's go and see this Heyang hero."
Is he really a hero?"
Tang Zhao stood up and said: "Brother Yang, tell me, does Xue Daxia really have a good reputation in the world?"
