Pirate Song

After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's words, Ji Xiancheng couldn't help but slow down and began to re-examine the current situation in the north in his mind, and said nothing for a while.

Gao Huaiyuan felt a little proud. For such a talented person with extensive knowledge, he was at a disadvantage when he argued with Ji Xiancheng along the way. Ji Xiancheng often quoted scriptures and made him speechless, even though he knew that he was

Yes, Ji Xiancheng could not be convinced, but today he finally convinced Ji Xiancheng regarding the situation in the north, so Gao Huaiyuan finally felt a little proud and felt a little more relaxed when he walked.

Ji Xiancheng thought carefully about what Gao Huaiyuan said. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Gao Huaiyuan's views on the situation in the north were reasonable. The more he thought about it, the more he felt the cold wind blowing behind his back. He began to be afraid. If it was really like what Gao Huaiyuan said.

, The fall of the Jin Kingdom is really not a good thing for the Song Dynasty. Now Song and Mongolia are still separated by the Jin Kingdom and Xixia, and there is no actual intersection of interests between the two sides. But once the Jin Kingdom and Xixia are defeated, Mongolia will

Would people really leave this piece of fat meat like Da Song without taking a bite?

Thinking of this, Ji Xiancheng couldn't help but feel cold sweat all over his body. He didn't expect Gao Huaiyuan, a seemingly rough guy, to have such a clear understanding of this matter. And the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Gao Huaiyuan was right.

At this point, he is indeed much more short-sighted than Gao Huaiyuan!

"The young master is right. On this point, Ji thinks he is not as far-sighted as the young master! It's just that Ji is curious, why does the young master know so much about things in the north? Or has the young master been thinking about this matter all along?" Ji Xiancheng

After walking a few steps, he caught up with Gao Huaiyuan and frankly admitted to Gao Huaiyuan that he was wrong. This is indeed a rare quality for scholars like them who have a higher eye than the top. Moreover, Ji Xiancheng also asked

Questions in his mind.

Gao Huaiyuan replied with a smile: "I remember Mr. yesterday said that people without long-term concerns must have immediate worries! Huaiyuan only paid attention to the situation in the north because he saw many displaced refugees in the past few years. Now,

It seems that sir agrees with me! Unfortunately, I am only a small ninth-grade Hoyoshiro. I have no say in such military and national affairs. At present, there are powerful ministers in power in the court. With my own strength, what can I do?

What to do?”

"That's wrong! The young master doesn't need to be so arrogant. Although the young master is just a little protector now, who says that the young master can't become the pillar of the country in time? What's more, the young master is only a teenager now. As long as the young master

If you work hard, you may not be able to become a high-ranking official in the guarding party. You will naturally achieve a career in time. It is Ji's luck to be able to assist the young master as an official today. It is Ji's luck. The young master can rest assured. Ji is conceited and has some knowledge.

But there is no way to help him. If he can be a help to the young master, Ji will not hesitate to learn what he has learned and is willing to make suggestions for the young master. He only hopes to achieve the young master's fame, which can be regarded as Ji's ambition! "

Ji Xiancheng unknowingly began to speak his mind and decided to follow Gao Huaiyuan to see how far this Gao Huaiyuan could go. He himself did not seek to be a high official anymore. If he could assist Gao Huaiyuan

If he achieves something, he will be satisfied!

"Why did Mr. Ji say this? I think Mr. Ji is knowledgeable and talented, but for some reason he doesn't plan to seek promotion himself, but comes to assist a small person like me? I heard from my father that Mr. Ji seems to be offended.

Who would be deprived of his fame? I wonder if Mr. Ji would like to tell me about your past?" Gao Huaiyuan suddenly remembered Ji Xiancheng's life experience, so he asked Ji Xiancheng.

When Ji Xiancheng mentioned this matter, he immediately showed an angry look, but immediately became slumped, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "That was all in the past, Ji doesn't want to mention it anymore, please forgive me.

Keep this secret! I see, young master, you are walking all the way, and you are not sitting in the car for a while, but you still seem to be wearing something heavy. Why is this? Why bother to leave the big car without riding, but suffer the fatigue of walking?

"

"Didn't Mr. Ji also say that hard work comes from hard work, but playfulness comes from waste? I am a martial artist. I am busy with chores on weekdays and cannot focus on practicing martial arts. I can only squeeze out time to practice martial arts. Martial arts practitioners should maintain their discipline anytime and anywhere.

My martial arts skills will not be wasted if I am in a state of exercise. My outfit is a gift from my master. It is precisely because of this iron sand suit that I can maintain strong physical strength. If I had not exercised diligently, I would have lost my life a year ago.

It was left in front of the army! So Huaiyuan didn't dare to waste it!" Gao Huaiyuan chatted with Ji Xiancheng while walking.

Ji Xiancheng couldn't help but look at Gao Huaiyuan in a different light. The more he felt that accompanying Gao Huaiyuan to Daye this time was the right choice. This was the first time in so many years that he met someone he could talk to, and his mood seemed to be much brighter.

.

This time they returned to Daye County. According to Gao Jian's wishes, he wanted them to go to Jiankang and take the waterway back to Daye County. However, Gao Huaiyuan felt that this was too far of a detour, so he finally decided to go to Huizhou first and then rush to Wangjiang River.

The county takes the waterway upstream and returns to Ezhou by boat. This can save a few days on the road, and you can also exercise your body on the way. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to exercise after getting on the boat, and Gao Huaiyuan

I also wanted to meet Huang Zhen in Ezhou, so after leaving Shaoxing, the group headed for Huizhou.

The group of them walked and chatted all the way, and entered Huizhou on the third day. Different from the bustling city of Shaoxing, when they entered Huizhou, a large number of refugees began to appear on the road. Ji Xiancheng sat in the car and looked at both sides of the road.

The refugees couldn't help but feel very emotional.

"As long as there is a war, there will be refugees. Whether the country is strong or not is related to the livelihood of the people. When there is a war, it is the people who suffer!" Gao Huaiyuan said in response.

"Yes! The young master is right. Our Song Dynasty is indeed too weak. If this continues, it will be worrying!" Ji Xiancheng nodded and said.

When they entered the mountain road, the road gradually became difficult to walk. Gao Huaiyuan had walked this road back and forth several times, and he was very familiar with it. This area has high mountains and dense forests, and there are many thieves. They used to be here

There have been trail-cutting thieves in this area, so after Gao Huaiyuan entered the mountain road, he ordered everyone to be more vigilant. At the same time, Liu Er and Ji Xian Chengdu were asked to get on the bus and rest, and then they would not rest along the way and try to cross before nightfall.

This mountain road.

Looking at the dense forests on both sides of the road, Ji Xiancheng was a little nervous. He also heard that the road coming in was not smooth, and there was no guarantee that he would not encounter strong men in a place like this.

Gao Huaiyuan saw Ji Xiancheng's nervousness, so he walked to the side of his car and smiled at Ji Xiancheng: "Mr. Ji, don't be nervous. With me here, ordinary thieves are not a problem at all. Please rest assured, Mr. Ji!"

After traveling for a long time, they came to a mountain pass. Li Ruohu, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped and waved to Gao Huaiyuan and his party to stop.

Gao Huaiyuan also immediately felt that the surrounding atmosphere seemed a bit strange. As they walked through the huge mountain forest, the sounds of birds and animals never stopped. But when they got here, a group of birds suddenly flew up in the forest in front of them and made a burst of noise.

After chirping, it hovered in the sky and did not dare to fall.

Moreover, the sounds of small animals in the mountains and forests also began to disappear. There were no pedestrians in front and behind of their group. Gao Huaiyuan's heart tightened slightly. He looked at the surrounding terrain and soon found that this place should be a good place for an ambush.

If he read the location correctly, there should be an ambush in the forest ahead, but unfortunately, the ambusher was not very good at it, and frightened the birds in the forest, giving them a warning in advance.

"Why did you stop suddenly?" Ji Xiancheng stretched his head out of the car and asked Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan's face gradually became serious. He seemed to smell a hint of danger. If there was an ambush in front of him this time, the number of enemies would not be too small. In such a barren mountainous place, they could say that they had no place to hide. Now they

Even if you want to take a detour, it's already a bit late.

Recalling the scenes along the way, Gao Huaiyuan was suddenly shocked. In the past two days, he had only been chatting with Ji Xiancheng because of nothing else, and he had relaxed his vigilance. When he thought about it carefully, he suddenly realized that several people had been around these two days.

They fell behind them far away. If you didn't think about it carefully, you wouldn't notice it at all. Now that you think about it carefully, you can feel that there is something abnormal about these people.

"There may be thieves ambushing ahead, and they may have already targeted us!" Gao Huaiyuan replied to Ji Xiancheng in a low voice.

After hearing this, Ji Xiancheng suddenly became nervous. No matter how you say it, he is just a scholar. Not to mention that he has no power to restrain a chicken, and he is basically not that strong. Most of them study behind closed doors on weekdays. He has never encountered

After such a thing happened, Ji Xiancheng said in a panic: "How did Master Gao know that there was an ambush ahead? Could it be that he saw it wrong? Otherwise, we will take a detour!"

Gao Huaiyuan smiled bitterly. After all, Xindao Ji Xiancheng was just a scholar and didn't know about walking in the world, so he replied: "It can't be wrong. I am a person who often travels outside. I still have this experience.

, there is only one way to go here, and we are now being targeted by the other party, it is too late to retreat now!"

When Ji Xiancheng heard this, he became a little panicked and exclaimed: "What can we do? What should we do?"

After Gao Huaiyuan took a deep breath, he raised his hand and took off the iron sand clothes on his body. After stretching his waist, he chuckled and said: "Mr. Ji, don't panic. I'm here. I'll wait for you to measure some thieves."

What can we do? Everyone, get your weapons and be careful! Liu'er comes over and protects Mr. Ji. Ruohu and I go to the front to have a look! Others protect the vehicle!"

Li Ruohu immediately agreed, turned around and quickly took out a few scimitars from the hidden compartment of the vehicle in front, threw them to the other five young men Zhuang Ding, and handed a Liuyun scimitar with a deerskin sheath to Gao

Huaiyuan.

The remaining five young men, Zhuang Ding, each took the scimitars very calmly and slung them around their waists. They immediately took out a few sets of bows and arrows from the hidden compartment under Ji Xiancheng's car, held them in their hands, and quickly moved the two cars.

Surrounded in the middle, even Liu'er jumped out of the car in front, casually carrying a slightly lighter Liuyun scimitar, and quickly came to Ji Xiancheng's car.

Ji Xiancheng watched with wide eyes as Gao Huaiyuan and the others took out various weapons from the car like magic and quickly armed them. He was a little surprised in his heart, because it was only then that he saw that these seemingly few people following Gao Huaiyuan

The unspectacular young men were all very calm, and their movements were uniform, as if they were capable people who had received strict training. Moreover, Gao Huaiyuan was obviously very experienced in dealing with this kind of thing, and had already made sufficient preparations before going out. This was

Something he hadn't thought of before.

Seeing Gao Huaiyuan and others who were not at all confused, Ji Xiancheng began to feel a little relieved, but looked at Gao Huaiyuan with some confusion, wondering why Gao Huaiyuan had so many well-trained subordinates?

Gao Huaiyuan also saw Ji Xiancheng's doubts, so he smiled and answered his doubts: "They are all Zhuang Ding who went to the army with me at the beginning. They are quite familiar with such battles. Mr. Ji

Please go back to the car, we just rush over to see who wants to attack us! Haha!"

Gao Huaiyuan's calmness greatly comforted Ji Xiancheng. When he thought that Gao Huaiyuan was a general who had been in the army of thousands of horses, and also had considerable military exploits, he must be quite skilled in dealing with several thieves.

No problem! So Ji Xiancheng nodded and said caution to Gao Huaiyuan, then returned to the car and sat down. The cart started again, and the wooden wheels squeaked and rolled over the gravel on the road and moved forward.

"Master! This time things seem to be a bit troublesome. The other party seems to have a lot of manpower, and they have already been prepared!" Li Ruohu walked slowly to the right of Gao Huaiyuan, holding his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist. This position is just right.

He could draw the knife at any time without being affected and protect Gao Huaiyuan's right side. This kind of action was also summed up by Li Ruohu for a long time, so he naturally chose a position that was most conducive to protecting Gao Huaiyuan.

"Well, I can see that the other side has a lot of people, and there are people coming up behind us. It seems that there will definitely be a fierce battle today!" Gao Huaiyuan walked slowly in front of the car while using the corners of his eyes.

The peripheral vision kept scanning the mountains and forests on both sides, and the muscles in their bodies gradually began to tighten, and a sense of crisis began to envelope them.

"Master, I want you to protect Mr. Ji and Sister Liu'er first. The younger one will take the other brothers to cover the young master before he emerges! I'll leave it to the younger one to deal with it!" Li Ruohu also sensed something was wrong in the atmosphere and suggested to Gao Huaiyuan.

arrive.

"No! The other party came prepared today. I'm afraid things are not as simple as you think. If they take action later, don't show mercy. The other party should be a group of ruthless bandits!" Gao Huaiyuan shook his head and stretched out his hand to touch

I checked the set of flying knives that never left my waist, adjusted the position of the knife pouch, and placed it in the most suitable place for shooting.

The forest became very quiet at this moment. The only sounds that could be heard were the squeaking sound of the wheels of two mule carts rolling on the road, and then the breathing of the two mules. Several people were closely guarding them.

As the car moved forward, left, and right, pairs of eyes turned warily to both sides of the road.

At this moment, dozens of strong men were lurking in the forest about a hundred steps away from them. They were all staring at Gao Huaiyuan and his party who were walking slowly, looking at a man with a scar across his cheek.

The big man with the beard looked at Gao Huaiyuan, who was walking slowly at the front, frowned slightly and whispered to the people around him: "The person who came here is a practitioner. I'm sure you won't encounter any tough problems today. These people are all well-trained. It's not good."

Deal with it!"

A red-faced man leaning next to him nodded slightly and said: "The boss is right, these people are very alert. They stopped suddenly just now. They must have had a premonition of our existence, and they have taken out their weapons now!"

The scar-faced man spit out a blade of grass in his mouth and sneered: "It seems that our buyer is right. That guy is quite good at martial arts. We should be more careful. If we had known better, we would have charged more."

They have some money! Damn it! It’s too late to know now! I just want to see how capable they are and how they can escape from us!”

As Gao Huaiyuan and the others gradually walked in, the scar-faced man suddenly stretched his body, jumped out of the woods with a knife, stood in the middle of the road, blocking the path of Gao Huaiyuan and his party, and the other big men followed suit.

It jumped out and immediately blocked the entire road.

On the road behind Gao Huaiyuan, more than a dozen strong men also ran forward, each holding a sword and a gun, firmly blocking the retreat of Gao Huaiyuan and his party. Under a pincer attack from both sides, Gao Huaiyuan and his party were surrounded in the middle.

.

Gao Huaiyuan straightened his body, glanced at the situation before and after, and cursed in his mind, Damn it! There are at least forty or fifty people on the other side, and the strength of the two sides is very different, so the trouble is a bit big now.

"Who is here? What do you want?" Gao Huaiyuan coldly held the handle of the knife and stood still before shouting at the group of thieves blocking the way.

"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense, we are robbing the road! Leave your car, woman, kneel down and be bound, and save your lives! Otherwise, the uncles will kill you but not bury them!"

Scarface shouted coldly.

When Gao Huaiyuan heard this, he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the matter. Generally, most of the thieves who cut off the streets just wanted money, and all they asked was to leave their property. However, this group of thieves seemed to be targeting not only their own property, but also wanted them to kneel down and suffer.

Bound, this is a bit unreasonable!

"If you are looking for money, you can just say it, why bother forcing me like this?" Gao Huaiyuan tentatively said to the scar-faced man.

Scar looked up and down at Gao Huaiyuan, with a cruel smile on his face. Then he turned his attention to the teenagers who were following Gao Huaiyuan standing next to the car, and raised a finger and waved it a few times...
