I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 185

Before Zhan Feiyu could answer Tian Sheng's words, Catcher Cao suddenly pushed away the two subordinates who stood in front of him, and got up from the ground in disgrace, "Tian Xiaoqi, I'm Cao Xiong, Catcher of Huai County."

After revealing his identity, Cao Butou tore off the black cloth covering his face. Annoyance flashed across his rough and dark face, and he directly framed him: "I suspect they are Jiangyang robbers, and they came to arrest them with their men. I didn't expect her These guards are all masters, and I asked Tian Xiaoqi to help arrest the fugitive!"

Tian Sheng and the four scouts who got off their horses looked at Cao Butou speechlessly. His face looked more like a gangster!Moreover, all of them were covered with black cloths. Looking around, none of the six or seventy people were wearing police uniforms.

The black and thin boy standing next to Tian Sheng looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he pointed at Zhan Feiyu and asked with a smile, "Cao Butou, do you think she is a Jiangyang thief?"

Zhan Feiyu grinned, with an innocent and helpless expression, "We went back to Shangsi County from Huai County. The old man in the teahouse said that the official road was damaged and asked us to go around the mountain road, and then they rushed out with knives. It is said that they opened the mountains and planted the trees, and let us stay to buy road money."

Hearing Zhan Feiyu's words, Cao Butou and the rest of the policemen who stood up and the servants all looked extremely ugly. Who would have thought that six or seventy of them could not defeat the four guards!Otherwise, the person would be arrested and thrown into the cave, and then the luggage and carriage would be taken away. After seven or eight days, after erasing all traces, even this little girl would not be afraid to report to the police, who knew that the boat capsized in the gutter.

Fortunately, Catcher Cao remembered what Wang Xiancheng had told him before he set off, and immediately shouted, "You little girl, don't talk nonsense! There have been burglars in Huai County these days, and they stole Zhang's house last night, and you Not to mention the faces of the whole group, how can ordinary guards be so strong? Hmph, I guess the carriage in your carriage is full of thieves!"

Tian Sheng was shrewd, he didn't listen to Catcher Cao's one-sided words, instead he asked: "Since you are a policeman from Huai County, take out your token."

Uh... Cao Butou was taken aback for a moment, to prevent Zhan Feiyu from being recognized by the others, so he didn't bring his token or wear a fast uniform.

"Isn't it? You six or 70 people are Yamen's arresters, don't you have any tokens on you?" The black-handed boy laughed, and looked at the ugly-looking Cao Butou sarcastically, "It looks like you are here Here we set up an ambush to rob this little girl, but unfortunately she was beaten because of her inferior skills."

A group of policemen and yamen servants who were domineering in Huai County turned pale with anger, but they couldn't beat Zhan Feiyu and the others, let alone offend the military master of the guard, their old faces turned red.

Suddenly, a policeman remembered something and shouted excitedly, "Our knives are all official military knives!"

Tian Sheng moved his toes, picked up a saber on the ground, and took a closer look, and he saw the words Nanxuan Weapon Workshop on the blade, but the best weapons in the Weapon Workshop were first selected by the guards, and the defective products would be distributed to various departments. County government.

"It's really a saber." Tian Sheng pulled a saber, "I can't make a decision on this important matter, Xiaodongzi, you go and tell your lord."

"Design!" The black-handed boy was Xu Dong, who would immediately get on his horse, put his legs under the horse's belly, and gallop towards the official road where the army was stationed.

The mountain road is narrow, full of people and carriages, and there are 70 to [-] people in the dark. Tian Sheng plans to take all of them there for safety. "It's not a problem if so many people get stuck here, you all go with us."

Zhan Feiyu nodded, Yin Wuyan led her hand and walked forward, He Nuan followed closely behind, Chong Guang and the other three took the reins of the carriage.

At the same time, in the open space next to the official road, the two hundred elites led by Sui Qianhu temporarily stopped here. Although there were many people, there was no noise at all, which was enough to see that Sui Qianhu was running the army strictly.

"Why did Xiaodongzi come back first?" Tao Baihu asked in surprise as the horse's hooves sounded.

"Master Qianhu, Lord Baihu." Xu Dong clasped his fists and saluted after dismounting from his horse, and then he talked about the mountain road to the two of them like a monkey, "I guess that's really a policeman from Huai County, six or seventy people died The strong ones, I haven't heard that there are bandits gathered in Huai County, and they all hold sabers in their hands, but they are beaten miserable one by one."

Not to mention that Sui Qianhu was dumbfounded, Tao Baihu and the other soldiers were also stunned. Someone couldn't help but ask, "Have six or seventy people been beaten?"

Even if it is not the Yamen's arrest, even if it is an ordinary citizen, sixty or seventy young men put together, even the well-trained soldiers of the guard, can't fight ten against one.

Not to mention that Xu Donggang said that Zhan Feiyu had a little girl and a maid, and the four guards defeated sixty or seventy enemies. This is too brave, and it will definitely be a fierce general in the army!
"Are you talking nonsense, kid?" Tao Baihu patted the back of Xu Dong's head angrily, seriously suspecting that the kid was exaggerating.

Xu Dong raised his neck and protested dissatisfiedly, "My lord, I saw this with my own eyes. At that time, they lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead. There were six or seventy people lying there in the dark. Fortunately, there was no blood flowing into rivers, otherwise the scene would have been terrible." It can scare people to death."

"Is it really Jiang Yang's bandit? That little girl is used to confuse people?" A soldier with a quick mind muttered.

How could ordinary guards be so powerful? If it was a bandit who robbed a house, it was somewhat possible. With a little girl and maid as cover, maybe he could really get away with it.

"Impossible! That sister-in-law is definitely not a Jiangyang thief!" Thinking of Zhan Feiyu's cute and cute appearance, Xu Dong immediately denied this speculation.

"Yo, Xiao Dongzi, you must be looking at the little girl, right?" As soon as this question was asked, there was a burst of laughter, and everyone looked at Xu Dong jokingly.

"Xiao Dongzi is fifteen this year, and he is also old enough to get married."

"Haha, maybe I can hold two in three years."

"Little Dongzi, when the time comes, my brother will ask your sister-in-law to propose marriage for you! I will keep the marriage for you and make the marriage lively."

After being teased by a group of unscrupulous soldiers, Xu Dong's originally dark face became even darker, and he clenched his fists angrily and waved a few times, "What nonsense are you talking about! That little girl looks like six or seven years old! "

Uh... Everyone who was joking was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing, "Well, Xiaodongzi's wife is gone!"

"No, maybe Xiaodongzi plans to raise a child bride."

Sui Qianhu ignored the group of noisy subordinates, half-closed his eyes and looked in the direction of the mountain road. After a long while, he heard footsteps.

Tao Baihu glanced at it, and then said loudly, "Line up!"

In an instant, the soldiers who had been resting cross-legged on the ground suppressed their smiles, and quickly got up to form a team. The four teams stood neatly in the open space, holding weapons in their hands. Under the sun, they were killing with iron blood.

When Zhan Feiyu and his party came over, everyone knew that Xu Dong was not exaggerating. Among the 70 or [-] people led by Cao Tiao, more than half of them walked with each other supporting each other, and they all looked painful, not because they hurt their arms. I just hurt my leg, walked a few steps and groaned a few times.

Sui Qianhu strode over. On his upright face, a pair of sharp eyes looked at Zhan Feiyu and the others. Almost at the same time, Sui Qianhu's two personal guards stood beside him in a protective posture. , able to overturn the guards of sixty or seventy yamen servants, they had to be on guard.

With no ghosts in his heart, naturally he would not feel guilty. Zhan Feiyu stepped forward, slightly raised his head to look at the burly and strong Sui Qianhu, and then bowed to him standardly, "Student Zhan Feiyu pays his respects to your lord."

"You are Zhan Feiyu?" Sui Baode looked at Tao Baihu on the left from the corner of his eye, and after seeing him nodding, Sui Qianhu laughed loudly, "Haha, it turns out that you are the little girl, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times! "

Zhan Feiyu grinned, "Thank you for your compliment, my lord. I'm just borrowing flowers to present Buddha."

That day, I won a bet with Fatty Chen, and the Chen family wanted to send [-] shi of rice and grain to the border. Although Nanxuanwei didn't get any benefits, but in Sui Qianhu followed Prince Yu to guard the border, he knew better than anyone else the hardships of border soldiers , [-] shi of grain can feed everyone for a month.

"Zhan Feiyu?" Cao Tuotou said in a daze, looking at the little girl who talked and laughed freely with Sui Qianhu in disbelief. He didn't dare to lead people to block the way and rob.

Knowing Zhan Feiyu's identity, Sui Qianhu looked at Cao Butou, who was trembling like a sieve, and asked sharply, "You say this little girl is a Jiangyang thief?"

"I...I'm not..." Catcher Cao stammered, his legs gave way, his body as tall as a bear slumped on the ground, and a smell of urine followed.

"You bastard!" Sui Qianhu scolded in disgust.

The surrounding soldiers even looked at Cao Butou who was scared to pee with disdain. He has grown so tall, but it is a silver-like pewter gun head.

The faces of other arresters and yamen servants were also pale. Several of their legs and feet were injured, but now they fell to the ground one by one, and they screamed in pain, which made the soldiers who were bleeding but not crying look down on the arresters even more. quick.

To prevent these six or seventy people from escaping, although Sui Qianhu felt that they had no courage, he still asked Tao Baihu to put Cao Butou and the others in groups of ten with their hands tied around their waistbands under custody.

"Little girl, tell me what's going on?" Sui Qianhu is a military commander and a rough man, but he is not stupid. He received a secret letter from the Forbidden Dragon Guard on his front foot, and his back foot was on the territory of Huai County Meeting Zhan Feiyu, there is no such a coincidence.

"Back to my lord, the cause of the incident was that they were motivated by money..." Zhan Feiyu simply confessed, in the end, it was people like Zhao San who were so bold that they stole the horse and even wanted to rob, and they all fell for it. .

"Military horse?" The eyes of Tao Baihu, who was listening, lit up.

Because of Zeng Yuquan's incident at Baofeng Cloth Village and Mrs. Lin's case of being poisoned before, Tao Baihu helped, and the two of them were familiar with each other. This time he asked Zhan Feiyu cheekily: " Miss Zhan, I wonder if this horse can be bred?"

When Tao Baihu asked, Zhan Feiyu groaned in embarrassment, Sui Qianhu even slapped Tao Baihu on the shoulder, and shouted in a thunderous voice, "What are you talking about, you bastard!"

Yin Wuyan didn't open his mouth, but his icy eyes looked at Tao Baihu who spoke freely like a knife.

"No, my lord, I..." Finally realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, Tao Baihu was also embarrassed, why did he say this to a little girl.

"Don't speak if you can't speak, little girl, don't worry about him, he's just a reckless man who can't talk." Sui Qianhu was full of posture when bluffing people with a straight face, while Tao Baihu stood aside in disgrace and was scolded.

Before Zhan Feiyu could speak, Sui Qianhu changed the subject, and the 50-year-old uncle smiled like a child abductor, "Are you in a hurry to go back to Shangsi County? That's right, do you want to go back to Shangsi County in August? Go to the courtyard for an examination, how about this, you can't delay your studies, you can go back now, don't worry about the three horses, Uncle Sui will give you a guarantee, they will be sent back to Shangsi County intact!"

Sui Baode slapped his chest with his bowl-sized fist, and grinned, showing a friendly expression, "Don't look at you, Uncle Sui, I'm a rough man. I was a good horse breeder when I was at the border. How about you Leave the three horses in the guard for the time being, your Uncle Sui, I promise to keep the horses shiny and shiny for you."

It's only May!Sui Qianhu laughed, there are still three months before the hospital examination, and the three army horses are kept in the guard, so it is normal to find a companion to give birth to a few foals, of course, he can't take advantage of other people's little girls It's cheap, and when the time comes, I will offer you a generous gift.

Facing Sui Qianhu's wrinkled old face with a smile, Zhan Feiyu really couldn't say no to it, so he could only glance at Yin Wuyan beside him. The three horses were all sent by his elder brother.

The way Sui Qianhu licked his face made a group of his subordinates ashamed, but he immediately noticed Zhan Feiyu's trust in Yin Wuyan, which was definitely not the attitude he should have towards a guard.

But Zhan Feiyu is from Bachelor Gu, and even if the guards around her are of unusual status, as long as Zhan Feiyu is not in danger, Sui Qianhu will not meddle in his own business.

Yin Wuyan knew this would be the result from Tao Baihu's opening, the little girl in his family was the most soft-hearted, and the soldiers and horses of the Daqing Dynasty were indeed not as good as those of the barbarians, and the cavalry at the frontiers were all short of good horses, let alone the state capitals guard.

"I don't use horses very much on weekdays. After three months, Master Sui will send one horse back. The remaining two will be temporarily kept in the guard." Yin Wuyan did not object, and Zhan Feiyu readily agreed to leave one horse behind. It is to prevent danger in the future, at least there can be good horses available.

Sui Qianhu didn't expect Zhan Feiyu to be so generous, which made him a bit ashamed, and he robbed two horses as soon as he saw it. Qianhu could only accept Zhan Feiyu's kindness with a cheeky face.

After a while, Zhan Feiyu and his party got into the carriage and left. Tao Baihu watched the three carriages go away, and said in a low voice, "My lord, the one in the blue gown is Chongguang."

"Forbidden Dragon Guard?" Sui Qianhu frowned slightly. He is a general, and he doesn't like the murderous Forbidden Dragon Guard, but he doesn't hate him much. They are all corrupt officials.

"It's no wonder that the Forbidden Dragon Guard will bypass Zhang Zhifu and let me temporarily take over Huai County." At first, Sui Qianhu thought that the Forbidden Dragon Guard had noticed the gangster Huai County and wanted to rectify Huai County, but now he thought it was because of people like Zhao San It offended the Forbidden Dragon Guard.

Zhan Feiyu is from Bachelor Gu, and the Forbidden Dragon Guard directly listens to the Holy Majesty, Sui Qianhu let go of his worries just now, "They didn't reveal their identities, and they followed the little girl as guards. What will happen."

Even so, before filling the official road and going to Huai County, Sui Qianhu still wrote a secret letter, asking his personal guards to send it to Prince Yu in the capital immediately.
