The autumn wind is rustling, cold and biting, making people feel chilly.
As if the autumn wind had penetrated into the spinal cord along the bones, a fine cold sweat broke out on Yang Dong's back.

As if the autumn wind had penetrated into the spinal cord along the bones, a 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 rest on, and he was carrying a live donkey.
A truly desperate situation.
In the eyes of archers in the dark, they are simply living targets.
He blurted out: "Who?"
I don't know if he was overly frightened, but he could barely 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 righteous soldier of the imperial court? As a righteous soldier of the assassination, are you a sinister demon?"
At the end of his sentence, his voice actually became softer, and he suddenly thought to himself: What if he is really a demon? Can you still run away?
The other party sneered twice and said: "A righteous man? What is a righteous man? A brick thrown at my master's door 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 a ferocious beast.”
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 it without telling anyone is a thief! This mountain, the woods 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 leave some Something."
Yang Dong was also from Jianghu, so he naturally knew that "leaving things behind" did 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 someone, which was unreasonable at all. 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?"
As soon as he said the words of admitting defeat, his heart was relieved, his strength was also exhausted, and the donkey on his head felt heavy. But the donkey kept shouting and struggling. He really wanted to throw the stubborn donkey into the ditch, but he didn't dare to move rashly, for fear of making a big move that would alert the other party.
The man said: "Don't murmur, it seems that we have wronged you. For one hundred taels of silver, I showed mercy today 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 he has enough green hills to keep him alive, 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 disaster.
But really not.
One hundred taels of silver is either too much or too little. You can buy dozens of acres of land, which can provide food and clothing for a family of five for five years. You can go to the best restaurant to set up ten tables of swallow-wing banquets and add a few bottles of good wine. For some wealthy people, it may be an overnight affair. But Yang Dong is not from a wealthy family. Practicing martial arts consumes a lot of money, and traveling thousands of miles is expensive. At this moment, he really can't find any money on his body.
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, but also extremely disappointed, and 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 too high?"
The other party sneered and said: "Poor people are really delusional. I don't think you can come up with the money. Well, I'll give you another chance. If you stand there without moving, I'll shoot you with an arrow. It's settled."
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 it, 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 was 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, a voice was heard 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 Tang Zhao who said it. He must have wanted to take over the debt, but the handlebar 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 you like a handlebar? Are you afraid that I won’t pay back the money I owe? As long as I relieve the temporary misfortune, I will definitely pay him back 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 this rich man's dress, that patch... tsk tsk, is it a private visit in Bailongyu suit or incognito?"
Tang Zhao, whose mouth was held tightly by Brother Sui, 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, which embodies the parents' full love for their babies.
Tang Zhao rubbed his fingers on the collar, his fingertips trembling slightly, he pursed his lips tightly, looked at the sky, and resisted his reluctance.
As of now, he doesn't have many things with him. This one thing is both valuable and commemorative, and he is not willing to lose it even if he is in danger. But... it was unbearable for him to watch a righteous man being forced to death.
It only takes a moment to make a decision. Maybe he will regret it tomorrow, but at this moment it is his inner choice.
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 whole 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 someone slaughters dogs for justice, it seems that this is not always the case. Come here."
Tang Zhao 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, broke the lock of the Longevity Lock from a distance of more than ten feet, and sank into the ginkgo forest with the golden lock.
Tang Zhao 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 drew out the knife with his backhand, crossed the bridge in a few long steps, and only pounced on the bushes that made him stare at the blood. !
puff--
A straight slash with the sword, as powerful as breaking a bamboo!
With the blessing of his anger, this knife 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. There were only broken branches left on the ground, and there was no trace of anyone.
Yang Dong roared unwillingly, holding up the 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 gasp for breath.
After a while, he straightened up and shouted: "Come out! You have the ability to sneak attack, but why don't you dare to confront me? Coward! Come on, it's your uncle's fault. Let's see if he doesn't pull your head off." !”
He roared two more times until his voice became hoarse, and then he rested for a while. He felt inadequate and couldn't help but step on the branches underground.
When his breath calmed down a little, he turned around and saw Tang Zhao still in a daze on the other side of the bridge, shouting: "What are you doing? Why don't you pick up your things?"
Tang Zhao was not really in a daze, but was recalling the scene just now. This was the first time he had seen the battle between Jianghu and Jianghu after he had just walked out of the study. Although he only cut the air with a knife, he replied: "We can't go. Since that expert He must have wanted to shoot down my safety lock. What should I do if I go looking for him and meet him?"
Brother Sui wanted to go look for him just now, but he was the one who stopped him. That stabbing blow suddenly made him feel the real bloody wind, and he had to think more carefully.
Yang Dong found that this child was as careful as a hair. When he thought of the dog lying on the grass, he became angry. He raised his knife and said, "Let's go, I will go with you to find him. If he doesn't come, just pay him back. If he comes, call him He asked me if my knife would be okay."
Tang Zhao said: "A righteous man does not have to rush for a moment..."
Yang Dong scolded: "That's nonsense. Do you think I'm really afraid of him? Let me tell you, I was attacked by him just now and I was caught off guard. Now we are facing each other one on one on the ground. Let's see the truth on the sword! I want to Ask him to say again to my knife, how much is a tree? If he still dares to say a hundred taels of silver, I will ask him how much his head is worth? Come with me." After that, cross the bridge first and fly toward the arrow. Find the place.
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 such a big forest, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The three of them searched separately for nearly two hours, but still found no trace.
Tang Zhao saw the sun setting in the west and knew that if he didn't give up, everyone would be stuck in the mountains together. He suppressed his reluctance and stood up and said, "No need to look for it. Someone must have taken it away."
Yang Dong's breath was uneven, he punched the tree and said: "It seems that the bastard took it. He is from Daxia Xue's house. Let's go to Xue's house and ask Daxia Heyang to seek justice and ask him to pay compensation." you."
Tang Zhao twisted a ginkgo leaf, revealing the layer of withered leaves underneath, exuding a rotten smell, 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. You must go and see it."
Tang Zhaoqiang cheered up and said: "A righteous man..."
Yang Dong waved his hand and said: "What is the difference between a righteous man and a righteous man? You call me a righteous man, and I say you are a chivalrous man. My name is Yang Dong, what is your name?"
Tang Zhao 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?"
Tang Zhao became more energetic and said: "Youth is grateful, the sun shines only in the daytime, the original intention is the bright sunshine." He pointed to Brother Sui again, "This is Brother Sui Feng." Sui Feng bowed repeatedly.
Yang Dong nodded perfunctorily, and praised Tang Zhao again, saying: "You are a scholar after all. What you say is all anecdotes. But I think you, little brother, are a true knight, no, more chivalrous than a true knight. Let's go, brothers. Let’s see if this Heyang hero is a real hero.”
Tang Zhao stood up and said: "Brother Yang, tell me, does Xue Daxia really have a good reputation in the world?"
