Yang Tiexin scratched his scalp and couldn't help sighing, he thought he would be able to cross the Cao'e River today by speeding up his pace, but he didn't expect that after walking for half a day, two of the horses they rode became loose and Yang Tiexin Can't help but think, could it be that they showed their whereabouts when they were staying last night, and their mounts were poisoned by the villains of Dongchang, leaving them nowhere to escape?

Originally, Yang Tiexin had never escaped before. When he was in Shandong, he and his righteous brother Guo Xiaotian were chased and killed by Dongchang, and they fled for three days and three nights.

He ran barefoot, and his inner strength was so deep that he could not rest for three days and nights, faster than a galloping horse.

He can set up an ambush on the way and kill the Dongchang fans who are chasing after him. His wisdom, patience, perseverance, and determination are all second to none. The enemy often finds his traces, and he is already 800 miles away. .

But with family members and concerns, Yang Tiexin knew that he couldn't run anymore.

Because the wife in the car and the blood in his belly were like an invisible thread, entangled him, making him nowhere to escape, and he would never escape. So when he was young, he could run around continuously for three days and three nights without stopping, but now he just didn't get a good night's rest, so he was worried about Bao Xiruo's health, but Li Ping was still safe.

Yang Tiexin appeared calm and calm on the surface, but in fact he was already burning with anxiety.

Because he knows how the ears and eyes of the two factories and one hall are spread all over the world, and a vast net may be slowly opened in front of them.

Yang Tiexin used the remaining two horse-drawn carts to let go of the two weak horses by the side of the road, and let them graze on their own. If the two horses were driven hard, they could still drive for half a day. Running hundreds of miles during the day, but this must be able to stimulate the horse's dead point with internal force and stimulate its potential.

When Yang Tiexin was a green forest thieves in his early years, he also relied on a fine horse to come and go like the wind. Immediately a Yang family gun was unstoppable, so he was also a horse lover, and he really couldn't do it.

Han Baoju followed the Guo Yang family's carriage from a distance, and he even led the two Qingtang steeds that Yang Tiexin had abandoned. It wasn't the eight blood-sweat Dawan horses he carefully raised, nor was it the black-tailed horse he sat down that was a mixture of Dawan Tianma and local famous steeds. But in the folk, a Qingtang horse is worth nearly a thousand guan.

Han Baoju is a horse idiot, it is really unbelievable that such a good horse is dragged around by the villagers casually.

This kind of good horse needs a bucket of refined grains and a stone of clean fodder every day... Shengdou's rations are probably not as good as that. A good horse is worth a thousand gold, and the cost of raising a horse is probably not much less. In addition to the imperial hawks and dogs working for the government, they can spend the night in official posts all over the world, and the postmen provide official materials to raise horses. People in folk martial arts go out on horseback, and most of them ride rough-raised dwarf Mongolian horses or Central Plains horses.

Only the emperor's imperial hawks and dogs in the East and West Liangchang, and a group of eunuchs who helped the emperor manage his family's wealth, had such a skill to give their lackeys eagle claws, and they were all matched with such rare good horses among the people.

The power of the six doors and two factories and one hall is to rely on the bloated institutions of the Song Dynasty government all over the world to extend its influence along this huge network to every corner of the Song Dynasty. Working in the six gates and the two factories, they rode good horses selected by horse supervisors from all over the country, and lived in comfortable and safe official posts. , Archers, strong men, and fast catchers are the eyes and ears, and even restaurants, real estate, shops, and markets all over the country are mostly government-run.

Where there are people, there are people from the government.

One should trade, travel, accommodation,

They have to deal with the government, unless they escape to the deep mountains and old forests, otherwise it is really impossible to travel in the confidant of Song Dynasty without the knowledge of Liufan and Dongxichang.

Yang Tiexin smiled wryly at the Cao'e River, which is one of the tributaries of the Hangzhou Bay. There are also iron bridges built in recent years. It is naturally convenient for ordinary people to cross the bridge, but only wanted people like Yang Tiexin have trouble crossing the river.

Taxes are collected on bridges where vehicles can cross. There are subordinate officials on the bridges who collect bridge taxes. They also strictly inspect the goods and collect road taxes based on the price of the goods. There is a small bridge where cars cannot cross, but the bridge crossing tax is charged per person, and the ferry tax and parking fee are charged... In short, ten thousand taxes and ten thousand taxes.

"There are people from the government on the bridges!" Yang Tiexin drove around and found that there were guards strictly checking on every bridge.

The god arrester of Ma Wang followed them all the way, but it didn't prevent him from informing the local six sects. Han Baoju knew that Yang Tiexin was a peerless master who could be defeated by thousands of people. Increased casualties. Therefore, they were only asked to seal the station, the bridgehead, and the waterway gates tightly... and he calmly waited for the six sworn brothers to arrive.

The Jiangnan Seven Heroes also had scruples in handling cases. Previously, Dongchang killed thousands of villagers in Niujia Village in order to catch Guo Yang brothers, so he felt that Guo Yang and Guo Yang were insane. , harming the innocent.

Before the departure of Han Baoju, the god of the horse king, Ke Zhen'e, the flying eagle, explained that Yang Tiexin and Guo Xiaotian, the two thieves, should not move lightly, especially in places where pedestrians come and go, and people come and go, lest Yang Tiexin be forced When cornered, hold passers-by hostage and hurt innocent people.

Although the Cao'e River is not wide, it is still a big river. It is not difficult for Guo Xiaotian, Yang Tiexin, and even Bao Xiruo to cross the river, but it is dangerous for Li Ping, a village woman who has never practiced martial arts, to cross the Cao'e River. In winter, the river is freezing to the bone, how dare Guo Xiaotian let Li Ping wade across the river?

Guo Xiaotian said, "I'll go find a boat!"

Bao Xiruo and Yang Tiexin in the car said in unison, "No!" Yang Tiexin sighed, "Guo Xiandi, this time is different, we are not going fast, and the Dongchang court has their eyes and ears tight, so we don't know that there is no ambush. Dongchang’s eagle dog is here, at worst, we brothers will kill each other, but on the waterway, if we are ambushed by Dongchang’s.”

"We brothers can say, what about my waiting wife?"

Bao Xiruo also said, "If you meet Dongchang's fanzi chiseling a boat in the middle of the river, even if your martial arts are ten times better, how can you protect your sister-in-law?"

Guo Xiaotian frowned, "What should I do?"

Yang Tiexin said, "There are many people on the bridge during the day, and I am worried that if we pass through the gate, we will hurt innocent people. The bridge will be closed at night. There are no people coming and going, so let's just break through!"

Guo Xiaotian was worried, "I'm afraid we won't be able to hide our whereabouts from those who are interested. If we can't leave quickly, there may be an ambush on all sides."

In the car, Li Ping was in a bad mood. Hearing this, she forced herself to say, "Uncle, an outsider. My body is really a drag on you. I hid me in the farmhouse near the left. You go first, and come back to pick me up when the wind has passed. Sister Bao also You are not pregnant, and you are in good health, so you can keep up with me. I am just a burden, so don't delay on me any longer."

Bao Xiruo shook his head and said, "Sister is confused, what is Dongchang, doesn't sister know?"

"If it falls into their hands, how can Big Brother Guo rest assured? Instead, he will be used and framed by them."

Li Ping whispered quietly, "Sister, I will not fall into Dongchang's hands."

Hearing this, Bao Xiruo knew that Li Ping had already intended to die, and said decisively, "Sister, don't mention that. Those young people in Dongchang, if they come, I will kill one, and if they come, I will kill the other. Even if they are desperate, they will die." Together. I just exchanged tokens before, wouldn't my sister want to see with her own eyes, when they grow up, they get married to Jinlan or fall in love with each other?"

After all, Li Ping just nodded and said, "If I can see them grow up safely, I will die immediately in the next moment, and I will be happy and have no regrets!"

Bao Xiruo said in the car, "I saw it just now, and the newly built iron bridge is the widest. We parked the car nearby, and when the bridge closed at sunset, we went to cross the bridge..."

Han Baoju shook his head to the two local policemen beside him and said, "Remove half of the people from the river first, and tell them to go to rest immediately. Half of the people lying in ambush on the bridge should also be removed first. It seems that they are not going to cross the river by boat. I'm afraid I won't take action until night. My six sworn brothers will arrive in the afternoon, so cheer up your brothers tonight! It's a one-off battle..."

The sun was gradually passing, and when it was heading westward, on the official road near the Shangyu section of the Cao'e River, a group of six knights galloped past with the clatter of horseshoes.

Immediately there were six tall, short, fat and thin men and women with different postures. They galloped all the way, blowing like a gust of wind.

Pedestrians on the road have gradually thinned out, most of them are returning farmers and businessmen on their way. Among the six knights, the head of the six knights was about forty years old, with sharp cheeks, and a man with a fierce look suddenly reined in his horse and looked ahead. In the open place, the Cao'e River flows through. The five people who were following also reined in in time... A scholarly scholar next to him said, "On the way, Brother Han sent a letter, and I have a plan. Brother, Yang Tiexin's martial arts are not trivial, and it is said that he has the might of a reborn king. "

"So you can't be reckless, you can only outsmart!"

Beside him, a woman who was stroking the horse's head to drain her blood said with a smile, "Brother Zhu is very resourceful, I must have found a solution!"

Zhu Cong laughed, unfolded the iron fan casually and said, "Seventh Sister, since we are going to capture the Overlord, of course we must use the strategy of ambush from ten sides."

"Ambush on all sides, and then besieged on all sides. This Cao'e River is where Yang Tiexin's Wujiang River fell!"
