Without her needing to greet him, the woodcarving man grinned and did not answer her. He slowly moved down from the tree trunk and flew along the mountain road in the dim night.

His movements seemed clumsy, but in fact they were fast. Like a gust of wind, he disappeared on the mountain trail in a split second.The gray-white shadows swayed under the dark night, ethereal and invisible, really like an impermanent ghost collecting souls at night.

The round-faced woman still looked curiously at the direction in which the three scholars disappeared, as if expecting them to come back.The long-faced woman said funnyly: "Let's go. Anyway, what you want has already arrived."

The unexpected farce was over, and the man's smile faded. Under the dim starlight, he took a step and ran towards the forest. The two women quickly followed him.

As the sun sets, the sound of hooves on the road comes slowly. Three strong horses snort non-stop, panting heavily and drifting in the wind. They slowly move forward on the road, presumably Already traveled a short distance and a long way.The three people on horseback also had sleepy looks on their faces. Looking at the outline of a small town in front of them, their stiff bodies relaxed and they all had smiles on their faces, just like birds returning to the mountains and forests, fish entering the sea, dozing off. Once you arrive, you will feel as comfortable as a pillow.

Which traveler doesn't want to arrive at his expected inn earlier when he is sleepy?

It is getting late, and there are more people entering and exiting the town. They have to rush into the city to rest before the city gate closes, or leave the city to go home.

The three wealthy men on horseback gradually approached the city gate with a look of dust. Seeing that the usual two or three defenders at the city gate had turned into dozens of people, the three people's expressions tightened and they held the reins in their hands. Qing Le, looked at each other, and slowed down the speed of entering the city.

In just a moment, they understood that something unexpected had happened, but they were surprised that they had not received any news from their senior brother.

The round-faced woman's face was also a little suspicious. From the eyes of the two companions, she instantly understood the suspicion in their eyes, and said extremely firmly: "Don't worry, senior brother will not betray us."

The long-faced woman only glanced at her, then looked at the man steadily and asked: "What should I do? Come in or not?"

The thin-faced man's tired eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he stared intently at the flow of people coming in and out in twos and threes in front, and muttered: "It's strange, how come so many defenders suddenly came to this small town? Is it true that we can't stop us?" Stop here to make them suspicious and move forward slowly.”

If they turn around and run away at this time, the officers and soldiers guarding the city will definitely become suspicious, send a message to surrounding towns, and send people to pursue and contain them.However, this premise is that these three are really the key criminals they want to encircle and arrest.

The man was their backbone. As soon as these words came out, the two not-so-pretty women seemed to relax. They no longer had the worries before and slowly moved towards the town.Judging from their attitude in carrying out the orders and prohibitions, it seems as if they would not blink if the men told them to move forward, even though there was a mountain of swords and fire ahead of them.

When they got closer, the three people discovered that the officers and soldiers guarding the city ignored people leaving the city as usual, but intensified the search of travelers entering the city.

The round-faced woman relaxed a little and said, "Junior brother, there should be an important person suddenly arriving in this city, so the search for people entering the city will be strengthened."

The man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's not just that. A big shot has really arrived. We need to strengthen the protection of their residence, so there is no need to intercept and search them."

Indeed, if the city had ambushed gangsters in advance, the people they searched through the city gates would be of no use as they might as well be transferred to guard the mansion.

The round-faced woman seemed to know this very well and said with a smile: "Of course they did this. The mansion they live in must be heavily guarded. The search in the city has been strengthened, just to reduce the possible danger and provide more Assure."

The thin-faced man nodded and moved forward without saying anything else.

This time, the guards guarding the city searched them the toughest of the gangsters, who were armed with swords. They didn't even dare to accept the silver they offered as rewards. It seemed that they had been told by their superiors.

A few rude high-rollers cursed and cursed. Although they were able to defeat the officers and soldiers guarding the city, since ancient times, people did not fight with the officials, so they could only put their swords aside and let the soldiers search them carefully unwillingly.The soldiers carefully checked their appearance against the wanted list to see if there was any danger before letting them in.

This was not only true for men, but also for several delicate women. The soldiers guarding the city took advantage of the weak women who entered the city.Of course, they are also discerning, and the people they take advantage of are also of low status and should have no backers.

Some of the city residents walking in and out were lamenting and helpless, while others were laughing and gloating.

“It’s so abominable to be unreasonable.”

The round-faced woman and the long-faced woman looked at this scene and frowned.The round-faced woman even rode forward to teach them a lesson, letting them know what etiquette and morality meant.

"Sister, don't mess around"

The man on the horse quickly leaned over, grabbed the reins of the horse under the round-faced woman, and shook his head to signal her not to be impulsive.

The round-faced woman's eyes narrowed, and she realized what identity she was pretending to be now. She couldn't do anything wrong unless she wanted to go back and stay honest.

The thin-faced man saw that although she was angry, he relaxed in the blink of an eye and said with a smile: "There are many such unfair things outside. Just get used to it."

The three of them were also dressed like wealthy people. When the soldier molested a young woman just now, the round-faced woman behaved a little abnormally, which naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers guarding the city and pointed at them.

A soldier smiled and said: "Zhao Laosan, if you don't let that little girl go, be careful if a female hero will cause trouble for you in the future."

The soldier surnamed Zhao grabbed the skirt of a village girl with one hand, looked at the three knights evilly, swallowed his saliva, let go of the poor woman, and said with a smile: "If you want to cause trouble for me, I will do it later." Play with them and see if they dare to move."

The soldier advised: "Zhao Laosan, please see clearly. They are skilled in martial arts. They are already dissatisfied with you. Don't mess around again and drag us to suffer together. Although we are using the county magistrate's search this time We took advantage, but if something goes wrong, we may lose our lives."

Zhao Laosan frowned slightly, thought over and over again, and sighed: "Although I can really take advantage of them this time, they don't dare to resist. But they are mediocre in appearance, and taking advantage of them is in vain. They are not as good as Chang Chun." The girls in the garden are tender and beautiful, so they cause a lot of trouble for themselves and are not beautiful, so just let them go."

His voice was so soft that he couldn't hear it among the noisy crowds leaving the city.However, when the three people on horseback looked at Zhao Laosan, they became very angry and cold.

However, this look still did not scare Zhao Laosan, and the evil look did not change due to this.

It was getting late, and there were only a few people entering the city. The second person after the village girl who was molested was the man riding on horseback, the first among the three.However, he stood in front of the city gate and stood quietly with his arms folded, neither entering the city nor retreating. The soldiers guarding the city looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Laosan was also stunned for a moment, murmured to his companions, pointed at the three of them and said: "You three are strong thieves on the reward list, you are so bold, come to the city gate, already If you don’t go into the city and don’t run away, I’ll just entertain the gentlemen. Come quickly and let the gentlemen check you out.”

Zhao Laosan is now standing among the soldiers, neither stepping forward nor approaching, looking confident and confident.The passing city residents were frightened when they heard what he said. Some hid inside and did not dare to leave the city, while others ran forward and dispersed, fearing that a fight would break out and harm the fish.

At this moment, they no longer considered whether they would be robbed by the so-called strong thieves if they ran forward.When the brain gets hot, it becomes chaotic.

However, a few of them had already run a few feet away from the city gate. As if they suddenly realized what they were doing, they carefully avoided the three people on horseback and ran back to the city, leaving the three people on horseback to fight with the defenders. The guard felt a bit dumbfounded.

The expressions of the three people on horseback changed slightly, and returned to normal in an instant. The two women stared at the calm man in front of them, and their expressions became more stable.The corners of the round-faced woman's mouth were slightly raised.

The citizens who left the city retreated back into the city in panic, staring at the three people on horseback in horror. However, the three people on horseback stood with their arms crossed, looking like thieves blocking the city and preparing for a bloodbath. meaning.This made the soldiers guarding the city feel a little strange, and there was a chill on their necks.

Zhao Laosan finally couldn't stand anymore and yelled with anger: "Do you three accept the inspection or go into the city?"

He didn't retreat, but no matter how you looked at it, he felt like he wanted to retreat to the city.

Seeing this scene, the man and two women on horseback laughed even more happily.

Could it be that when the swords on their waists and the big knives on their backs are unsheathed, it will be the moment when the whole city is wiped out with blood? Could it be that they are really first-class strong thieves with unstoppable courage?

Seeing the bearlike behavior of the soldiers guarding the city, the few brave guys who stayed at the city gate to watch the excitement immediately ran towards the city while counting their breaths.

Among this crowd of people dispersed by birds and beasts, there were actually a few people from the world with swords and knives on their backs. I really don’t know why they were so timid, which surprised the three people on horseback.

Zhao Laosan just shouted like this, and the people who left the city retreated into the city. Suddenly, the three people on horseback looked very fierce, as if they were really terrifying thieves who came to massacre the city.

Zhao Laosan wiped the sweat from his face with the corner of his robe, quickly grabbed the helmet on the side and put it on, muttering to himself: "My shouting didn't scare others, but it scared myself half to death. Is this a bad shout?" Well, I still shouted correctly.

The situation became more and more interesting. The three people on horseback stood side by side, staring at the few people holding guns and knives, slowly returning to the city gate. They shook their heads with dumbfounded laughter, without saying a word, just waiting to see what happened. play.

When they retreated to the city gate, someone had already reported to the county government, in case these three people really rushed in, and then they would be very unlucky.

They are good soldiers in the military camp. They can usually bully ordinary city residents, but if they really encounter such fierce and tough thieves with first-class martial arts skills, they will only lose their lives.

Zhao Laosan glanced at the city and murmured a curse: "Why haven't people come yet?"

From the time his companion returned to the city to report the news, half a stick of incense had not passed yet, and he felt as if half a day had passed.He didn't dare to check the three people in front of the city gate anymore, although they didn't seem to be very powerful, and there were two women.Moreover, he was afraid that they would come over on horseback and say contemptuously: Hey, come and check it out.The only thought in his mind at this time was that the thieves should go back quickly before the large group arrived.

Zhao Laosan stared at the three fierce gods on horseback, his whole body trembling with fear, and carefully said to a fatter soldier next to him: "Captain, it's already late. Since they won't come in, we still have to close the city." "Door"

Zhao Laosan was stunned, and for a moment he really didn't know whether to close the city gate.Shut it down, if they are not strong thieves, they will frighten their courage, and if word spreads, they will be laughed to death; if not, if they are really strong thieves, their lives may not be saved.

Could it be that they are really here for the big shots coming to the city?

Thinking about it, his face turned green and white, and cold sweat flowed out from his forehead, cheeks, and even his whole body. The salty sweat seeped into his eyes and made him shudder. Zhao Laosan wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt more and more in front of him. The three evil-smiling riders were fierce and fierce.

The heartbeat was already beating so hard that it seemed like it was about to jump out of my entire chest.

Why hasn't anyone come to support me yet?

Zhao Laosan felt guilty and wanted to look back, but he stiffened his neck and told himself that he had to look like a master and not let his subordinates look down on him like ordinary commoners.Looking at the other people, they were already looking at the city from time to time with frightened expressions.

Zhao Laosan suddenly felt that his mouth was dry, and he licked his white lips with difficulty. Hearing the noise and shouting next to him, and feeling their eyes expecting him to give orders, he increasingly felt that the three people in front of him were strong thieves who killed people without looking at them. , very much like the evil ghost coming out of the Palace of Hell.

Finally, Zhao Laosan couldn't hold on any longer, and his legs began to tremble slightly. The trembling was getting bigger and bigger, and he couldn't stop it no matter what.

We can't delay it any longer now, otherwise we'll make a fool of ourselves too.

Zhao Laosan licked his dry lips again, gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down, waved his hand gently, and whispered: "Close the city gate."

That voice, that look, he couldn't even keep up the pretense, as if he was afraid of irritating the three guys in front, causing them to suddenly rush in front of him and give him a hard knife.

Quack, squeak

A few frightened guys nearby heard his order and pushed the city gate forward desperately, making an extremely dull and heart-wrenching sound. It made people feel uncomfortable, but at the same time, it added a kind of excitement and quietness. means.At this moment, the sound of the door closing, which usually sounds unpleasant, suddenly becomes very pleasant, like a childhood lullaby, warm, peaceful and comfortable.

And until now, it was less than half a stick of incense before Zhao Laosan started scolding him.

The three riders who were standing quietly in front of the city gate couldn't help but look at each other. The curvature of the corners of their mouths disappeared instantly, and they became even more surprised and puzzled.I didn't expect to meet such a timid guy, and he was the kind of guy who scared myself.

Could it be that the three of them are really dressing up like that kind of vicious thieves? At least the round-faced senior sister is not pretty now, but she is still gentle and cute. She doesn't look like that kind of vicious person anyway. Big devil.

You guys really have no eyesight. Fortunately, they are still the guards guarding the city gate every day.

The middle-aged man with a thin face shook his head and sighed, looking at the city gate that was gradually closing with a wry smile. What happened was unexpected, and he really didn't know what to do for a moment.He knew that if he drove his horse forward and took a step forward, the guys in front of him would definitely scream and close the city gate more quickly. Then, what was waiting for him would definitely be a large group of troops or arresters. quick.
