The jagged reeds form undulating reed marshes.
One man is riding a donkey on a wild trail, and another is paddling an oar on the river.
The two were far apart, but they were walking side by side toward the east, separated by the undulating reed swamps.
Uncle Liu rode his donkey and ran all the way. He wanted to know when the little boat would land, and he wanted to see the true face of this Yunzhou hero.
Xiaoyu rocked the boat all the way eastward on the Luoling River. When he arrived at a sparsely populated area, he rested the boat on the edge of the forest and prepared to go ashore and leave.
Wearing a bamboo hat, carrying an empty basket, and lowering the bamboo hat, this place is already a dense forest far away from the town. Normally no one would pass by here, not to mention it is noon, everyone should have closed their business and gone home.
Xiaoyu was carrying a basket and humming a tune, heading back to his resting inn in Jiang County through the woods.
The forest was unfamiliar to Xiao Yu. He carried an empty load and walked along the broad forest road to the other side of the mountain out of the forest.
Uncle Liu rode his donkey and followed the boat all the way, but he saw the boat ashore in a dense forest on the south bank of the river. Uncle Liu was on the north bank, quite far away, and he couldn't shout loudly, and there was no small ferry around.
Uncle Liu watched helplessly as the man carried a load into the dense forest. He had no choice but to ride on a donkey and continue walking forward to see if he could encounter a bridge or a small ferry and cross the bank to catch up.
After walking a few miles, I finally met a man carrying firewood. The man told Uncle Liu that there was an ancient bridge across the Luoling River about ten miles downstream.
Uncle Liu hurried towards the ancient bridge.
at the same time.
In the woods, there was a group of people ambushing around the horse trail in the woods.
This forest is called the watershed, and the watershed is a ridge. This ridge is the mountain ridge where the Luoling River divides into two tributaries, each flowing into the distance.
Therefore, it is called the watershed by the locals.
And this group of people on the ridge is a group of robbers.
It's the robber who deliberately ambush here today.
The bandit leader is called He Kuan, and the second in charge is called Qian Ji.
He Kuan had a stern face and a straight nose. He was not very tall. He had a long scar on his arm and looked a little cruel. Qian Ji, on the other hand, has a typical pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, and is a figure in the bandits' den who makes suggestions.
There are more than a dozen bandits under his command, and they are going to ambush a man in this watershed today, a man called Yunzhou Hero.
"Report, brother, people are coming this way." A minion rushed over and reported.
"Brother, look, I'm just saying, I'm not waiting for this day in vain, people are coming this way." Qian Ji sat next to He Kuan, both of them leaning against a big pine tree to enjoy the shade.
He Kuan heard this, put a long knife on the ground in his hand, patted his butt and stood up, frowning and said: "That's right, that's right. When I earn his money, I'll share more with you."
Qian Ji bowed and said, "Thank you, brother."
A group of nearly twenty robbers were resting in the pine forest with long knives, waiting for the arrival of the hero Yunzhou.
At this time, the news from the little minions was undoubtedly a good dose of refreshing medicine. Everyone stood up and looked at the wide wild path not far away.
He Kuan waved his long sword and said to the crowd: "You guys, hurry up and ambush me. When the hero Yunzhou comes, come with me and rob him of his money. You will be indispensable for the food and drink by then." .”
"Okay!" the bandits replied in unison.
Then, under the command of Qian Ji, the bandits hid separately, either in the bushes on one side or behind the big pine trees beside the road, holding long knives and waiting for the hero Yunzhou to pass by.
This group of bandits were from the Fenshuiling Mountains. When Yunzhou was in trouble, this group of bandits also had a hard time. They specialized in looting merchants passing by near the watershed.
No, in recent days, a Yunzhou hero has been giving money to people everywhere. They concluded that this Yunzhou hero must come back to Luo Town to help the victims, so they arranged people to wait at this watershed in an attempt to loot Yunzhou. Hero.
The second master, Qian Ji, had ordered people to keep an eye on the town for several days, and finally waited for this person today.
Everyone is here
I have been squatting for several days. Fortunately, this man finished delivering the money and rowed a small boat to this dense forest.
They don't have to go to other places to guard Yunzhou Hero.
As the "Yunzhou Hero", Xiao Yu was humming a little tune, carrying an empty basket, and walking towards the forest.
Seeing that there are tall trees and large forests here, it is a good place to rest in the shade.
When he was about to take a rest, a dozen or twenty men with long knives in their hands rushed out and surrounded him.
The first master, He Kuan, walked into the siege and glanced at Xiao Yu for a few times. He was dressed in coarse cloth and had two empty baskets. He stretched out his hand to pull Xiao Yu's bamboo hat and saw a young face. He frowned and asked the second master, Qian Ji. Said: "You said he is the Yunzhou hero? Is he rich?"
The second master, Qian Jidao, said: "I just threw money bags to the people on the river, and there was no one else except him. It was noon, and there was only a small boat on the river, and he was the only one. Who else could he be?"
After the second master finished answering, he looked at the young man who had just reported the news and asked, "Jing Lai, tell me, is it him who just rowed across the river? You can see clearly."
The minion Jing said back and forth: "Back to the second master, I personally stood guard at the edge of the forest and watched him deliver the money bag and paddle all the way over. You can't be wrong."
Looking at this posture, Xiao Yu knew something was wrong, she had encountered a robber.
He looked at the nearly twenty shining knives surrounding him, and then looked again. No one was around. He gently squeezed the bamboo pole on his shoulder.
Wrapped inside the shoulder pole is his sword with a green sheath and a red handle - the Sword of Annihilation.
He Kuan held up a long knife and asked the people in front of him: "Little brother, take out all the banknotes and valuables you have on you! As long as you are obedient, I will let you go more happily!"
Xiaoyu stood still, gently put down the basket, took off the bamboo hat, and threw it into one of the baskets.
Hold the bamboo pole in your hand, hold it upright, and untie the ropes binding the bamboo poles at both ends.
Xiaoyu untied the rope that tied the two ends of the pole, pointed to the empty basket, and replied: "Several mountain uncles, I just passed by here carrying the basket. I am a small farmer selling chaff in the town. Where are the banknotes and valuables? Please be kind to the gentlemen and let the villain go."
He Kuan frowned, stretched out his foot to kick the empty basket, and said with a frown: "My mother, you just gave away these two big baskets of silver! What a pity, what a pity!"
Qian Ji glared at Xiaoyu and muttered: "Don't pretend to be poor in front of us. We have been waiting for you here for several days. Who else is the guy who delivers money on the river if not you? Who would row the boat to the river at noon?" If you go up this mountain, those who know how to do it will take out the banknotes on their bodies, and we will give you a pleasure. If you don’t know how to do it, don’t blame me for not having eyes on the knife in my hand."
Xiaoyu took a look and saw that there was no one around in this deep mountain and forest. He opened his mouth and shouted: "Is there anyone! Help! Is there anyone? They are robbing! Help!"
Xiaoyu didn't look worried or anxious, but she shouted loudly. She casually threw aside the rope tied to the bamboo pole, and her cry for help was a bit fake, without any hint of panic.
