Ten states

When a strong man holding an iron rod arrived with more than 30 horse thieves in full leather armor, except for a few corpses on the ground, the man and woman who escaped said had already disappeared.

The one who took the lead was killed, and the other subordinates were also terrified of being killed, and there were not two surveillance movements left far away.However, the strong man with an iron rod swept his eyes, and immediately saw two rows of horseshoe marks on the ground not far away. A horse that cannot run.The man and the woman were still reluctant to part with the two injured horses, and they still walked slowly while leading the horses. Did they really think that they just broke up a group of ordinary bandits?

"Chasing~! Don't let those two children run away!" The brawny man shook the long Jing iron stick that was as thick as a goose egg, and shouted. "That kid is only good at weapons and some magic spells. His skills should be mediocre. Just be careful. Maybe he is a kid from a rich family in Qingzhou. If he catches a few thousand taels of silver, he won't be able to escape. I heard that he brought a female companion with him, and everyone can have more fun tonight if he catches it."

"Fun? What fun?"

Of course it's the fun of being a woman.Who's smart enough to ask that question?The strong man was about to yell and curse when he was startled suddenly. It was obviously a woman's voice. When he turned his head, he saw a woman with big red flowers on her head and two big lumps of rouge standing beside him at some point , but a pair of clear and bright eyes like a baby looked at him curiously on his face with heavy makeup on purpose, and asked: "Also, you obviously don't have horses, why are you still called horse thieves?"

He only hesitated for about a quarter of a blink of an eye, and this was because I really sighed that this woman with such beautiful and clear eyes put on such gaudy heavy makeup, and the Jing iron rod in the strong man's hand was like a living The poisonous snake that came over suddenly raised its head and pointed at the woman's head with a whoosh.He has worked hard on this iron rod for 30 years, and he has been able to produce a soft force from the rigidity to the fierceness. With just a little shake of the strength on this wrist, even a big granite can be touched. gotta smash.

Sure enough, with one touch of the stick, the woman's forehead was shattered.Together with the entire head, the entire body also shattered and dissipated soundlessly.

Just a blindfold?The head of the stick didn't feel any strength at all, the strong man woke up immediately, at this moment the sound of his clothes being broken through the air suddenly sounded, he didn't turn his head back, the iron stick in his hand was retracted according to the point just now, the tail of the stick was raised horizontally Sweep past.

There was a muffled slap, and this time it was indeed solidified.From the feeling from the stick, the strong man can still tell that the sweep was on the opponent's armpit, smashing the entire left rib bone, and the person flew out, and the heart and lungs must have been fatally injured. There is also a layer of hard leather armor, and this sweep can completely disperse this person.

Hard leather armor?Before the strong man could react, his knees suddenly softened, and then there was a familiar clicking sound, which usually happened to the person hit by his iron rod. It was the sound of bones breaking .Then came the severe pain, and he fell to the side, just out of the corner of his eyes, he could see the person who was thrown away by his stick. It was a close subordinate who was standing not far behind him.

I don't know when, next to every horse thief, a woman exactly the same as before appeared. No matter whether these horse thieves were shocked and overwhelmed or reacted and swung their knives, these women stretched out their feet and gently touched their shins. With the last kick, there was a crackling sound of bones breaking and cracking like firecrackers, and then there were screams one after another, and the more than 30 horse thieves all fell to the ground.

This bright moon girl is really useful.Xiao Xia came out from the bushes where she was hiding not far away. At least at this time, it really proved that it was a good choice to take this half-demon, half-human girl on the road. If she had tried to instruct her to do it before, The cost of my two talismans, a total of more than a dozen taels of silver, can be saved.

"Why are they called horse thieves even though they don't have horses?" Miss Mingyue seemed obsessed with this question.

Xiaoxia took a look at the clothes of these people, and was even more sure, and replied: "They should come from Jizhou. The terrain here is rough and muddy, and the horses probably stay there. The manpower here should only be their periphery. "

"How do you know?" Mingyue girl seemed to have many interests and questions at any time.

Xiao Xia was taken aback, of course he could tell at a glance.These people not only wear military crossbows, but also wear leather armor. The gang sects in Qingzhou have already divided all the forces. How can there be so many well-equipped bandits? Only those who come and go on the Jizhou Plain Wind, only the horse thieves who robbed the horse team can have such a scale.But these are not things that can be explained clearly to a half-demon girl who doesn't know anything in a few words.

With a sharp whistling sound, a black shadow suddenly shot out through the air, it turned out to be a long iron stick thrown from the hands of a strong man on the ground.Although the horse thief leader was still screaming after he fell to the ground, his eyes were not distracted in the slightest. Seeing that Xiaoxia and Mingyue didn't seem to notice him, they threw out the long stick in their hands as a hidden weapon.

This fine iron long stick weighed over a hundred catties, and it was poured with the whole body of this strong man, and it still hit Mingyue's vest from behind. Looking at the angle, it was still thinking of passing through Mingyue and then hitting Xiaoxia. And kill him, I have to say that this blow is indeed sinister and vicious, and this strong man is indeed a character.But Miss Mingyue just turned around and grabbed the huge hidden weapon with her arm, which was thinner than an iron rod, as if she were catching a chopstick.

"This man is quite powerful." Miss Mingyue nodded, raised her thin willow-leaf eyebrows, and even praised this strong man.But in the next moment, she raised high the Jing iron rod in her hand that was thicker than a goose egg and longer than her whole body, and swung it down at the strong man on the ground who was quite powerful before, but is now stunned.

"Stop~!" Xiao Xia shouted hastily.However, he was also taken aback for a moment, so he shouted a little later, and the girl's stick had already been swung down.With a bang, the powerful stick seemed to hit an egg, of course, there was still a chick's hairy egg, and the dirty and scarlet juice splashed on Lao Gao.

"Why did you stop?" Mingyue looked at Xiaoxia strangely. "This man is so fierce, why keep it?"

"...at least girl, it's good for you to save your hair..." Xiaoxia sighed, stepped forward and looked at the strong man whom she praised as a good man just now, but now she can barely see that it is a human figure , but the upper part of the head has been flying everywhere, and the lower part has fallen directly to the navel.

Xiao Xia is not good at martial arts, but her eyesight is very good.This brawny man can use a long iron stick that is used to fight in battle so delicately, his skill is no longer inferior to the three major protectors of the Luoshui Gang, he can be said to be a top-notch expert, and with his forbearance and ruthlessness, he is probably Yongzhou For a famous horse thief, even if it is too troublesome to take away alive, he can still receive a reward if he takes the head.Jizhou, like Yongzhou, is on the same border with Xidi, and it has been able to keep it all thanks to Yongzhou's guards and support. Over the past two decades, many systems have followed some of Yongzhou's habits.For example, for the rewards offered by these horse thieves, the rewards are not only silver taels, but also military merits.

And as long as he has military merits and enters Yongzhou again, even if the Luoshui gang really finds something and sends someone to arrest him, Xiao Xia will not be afraid.Even if the Pure Land Chanyuan wanted to investigate the death of Monk Mie Nu, as long as they were in Yongzhou, they couldn't do anything about it.

Because that is Yongzhou.

There are no rivers and lakes in Yongzhou, although there are actually a lot of people from the rivers and lakes in Yongzhou.There are no Taoist temples in Yongzhou, and monks and priests are no different from ordinary people here.Yongzhou doesn't even have Wangfa, because the people here don't know Wangfa at all. They only know Yongzhou Hongye Army, the General's Mansion, or the General.

And the general only knows people with military merits.So as long as you have military merits, have not violated military laws, and have not violated the temper of a general, no one in Yongzhou will dare to do anything to you.

That's why Xiaoxia wanted to go to Yongzhou in such a hurry, thinking about saving the life of this strong man or using his head, but it's a pity that Mingyue smashed this rare military achievement to pieces with a single stick.Xiao Xia reckoned that when he went on two missions in the Liuzi Camp that year, he might not have gained as much military merit as this brawny man's head.

However, this stick was not useless, at least none of the horse thieves who fell on the ground dared to move around anymore.These guys who make a living by fighting are all brave people who carry their heads to eat. Seeing that there are only two of them, they will bite back if they have any chance, but seeing that the most ferocious leader was beaten into a rotten egg with a stick, Naturally, he became honest.They are not afraid of death, but they are not in a hurry to die.

Fortunately, Miss Mingyue is so useful, so easy to use, and if you break one, you can grab another one.This group of horse thieves had a lot of background, and they gathered here and set up a peripheral vigilance. There must be business to be done, and the strong man will not be the only leader here.

Xiao Xia casually dragged a horse thief with a broken leg into a distant bush, asked them about their origins and the purpose of coming here, then stabbed the horse thief in the thigh with a sword, made him faint immediately after a scream, and then came out to drag The other goes to the bushes on the other side.After procrastinating for three, it turns out that the first one still has some concealment, while the latter two already know everything without saying anything.

As Xiaoxia expected, this is a group of horse thieves in the northeast of Jizhou. They got the news that a batch of red goods will be quietly transported into Jizhou from here, so they set up an ambush here, so as not to attract other horse thieves when the target enters Jizhou.Now the target is in an ambush, and is about to kill and rob goods in one fell swoop, and the warning is left on the periphery to prevent someone passing by and being discovered.

With a bang, a burst of fireworks rose into the sky and exploded behind the two hills in the distance. This should be the signal for the horse thieves to attack.

"...Okay, take advantage of this great opportunity of the snipe and the clam fighting, Miss Mingyue will quickly follow me to catch those horse thieves..."

Xiao Xia swung the long sword twice, feeling a little impatient.Although he has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, he always does it himself when he does it, or when others move their mouths behind him, he is desperate in the front, so it is inevitable that he will occasionally imagine the scene where many subordinates cover up the past with a wave of his hand.Now it can be regarded as fulfilling his wish. Although there is only Miss Mingyue, but the subordinates who have won the skill of Master Chixia of the Pure Land Temple back then, naturally they will be worth ten thousand.

Miss Mingyue nodded immediately: "Okay, you go first. I'll take two horses to find a place with better water plants and then come."

"Ugh?"

"You go first, I can find you." Mingyue looked curiously at the hesitant Xiaoxia, and suddenly her eyes lit up. "Are you afraid to go alone? Do you dare to go if you want me to accompany you? But I have to take the horse to find a safe place first."

"Cough. Then I'll go find out the realities of those horse thieves first, and ask Miss Mingyue to come quickly."
