Qihuang

Yan Liao ran alone in the direction Wu Hai pointed out to him. When he ran out of the mountain stream, two roads in different directions diverged in front of him.

Yan Liao let out a breath of white air, and looked around while frowning.

In this mountain forest, not to mention human figures, there is not even half a living thing.

"..." Yan Liao stroked Chitu's mane, and said to himself, "This way? I'm still familiar with Jizhou. After all, I often ran there with Shaozhuo." rushing towards the chosen path.

……

The snowflakes woke up and swirled and fell slowly in the roaring north wind. Yan Liao was facing the wind and snow, looking ahead, not affected by the outside world at all, and rushed to the Jizhou government office without distraction.

The horseshoe turned the curve, and there were clusters of silhouettes on both sides of the woods, but there was a warm light ahead.After Yan Liao rode his horse closer, he realized that it was a small farmyard.

At such a late night, the people in this family were still holding the lamps, and the lights were bright, creating a lively scene.

Yan Liao took a look into the courtyard twice, and saw that there were several healthy horses randomly tied to the stakes in the courtyard, pacing back and forth on the snow.

However, he was busy on his way, so he didn't pay much attention to it, as the wind passed by the courtyard gate.

Unexpectedly, there was an ethereal voice coming from the north wind, like weeping, which seemed a little strange in the vast snowy night.

Yan Liao twitched his ear tips, frowning and stopped Chitu.

Yan Liao turned his head slowly, and the small farmyard on the side of the road, which was still lighting up, was blurred into a warm yellow circle of light in the falling night snow.

The sound seemed to come from the small farmyard.

Yan Liao's heart twitched slightly, only then did he realize something was wrong.How could there be so many horses tied up in the front yard of an ordinary family like this?Even if guests come, the horse should be put in the shed.

Could it be a villain?

This has just left the border of Mobei, and there are gangsters attacking the people at night?

Yan Liao's eyes turned cold, and he thought that it would not take much time to deal with a few thieves, so he patted Chitu on the head, jumped directly from the horse's back, leaned on the saddle, and flew towards the farmhouse.

Chitu raised his horseshoe on the spot and followed Yan Liao's figure. When Yan Liao pushed open the gate of the farmhouse, Chitu also entered his yard.The tall and fierce red rabbit stood among several brown horses, raised its head and slapped the horse's nose in disdain, and flicked its tail.

Yan Liao was right, the voice did indeed come from the farmyard.

There was a commotion in the small farmyard, with the frivolous laughter of young men, the low-pitched wailing of old men, and the whimpering of a woman who was first heard by Yan Liao.

At this time, in the brightly lit main room, there were six men with malicious intentions standing separately, and a family of three lying on the ground.

Among them was a young girl with a handsome face. She cried and begged for mercy from the big men: "Please, please let the little girl go. The little girl's brothers have all gone to serve the corvee. There is only the little girl left in the family. She is old. The father and mother have to rely on the little girl to serve at home!"

Among the men, the one in the gray coat and the green hat kicked the old man on his leg, and let out a strange cry: "Ha! Who doesn't want to serve parents! You are obedient, follow us honestly, go back and follow us!" Young master Zhu, it's not just you, your whole family will enjoy the blessings together, this is a good thing for dogs to ascend to heaven!"

The fat man in the brown padded robe behind him corrected him weakly: "Brother Shi, it's the chicken and dog who ascended to heaven..."

The guy named Brother Shi gave the fat man a look: "Why are there so many nonsense, first beat these two useless old guys to death, and take the beautiful woman away directly. For those who are about to celebrate the New Year, I just hope that this good-looking one will be taken away." Dedicated to Young Master Zhu."

The woman was desperate, sobbing and crying, her pretty face was covered with tears, she knelt down and kowtowed and begged: "Please, please let our family go, I am willing to be Mrs. Zhu's wife in Room 43, please!" Please let my parents go!"

Yan Liao just broke in at this moment, and what he saw when he opened the door was a group of big men beating and kicking a family of old and weak women and children.

After Yan Liao pushed the door open, the six men paused and turned their heads to look in the direction of the door. They saw a handsome and luxurious man who kicked the door open and entered the room covered in snow.

"Where did the unexpected guest come from!" A big man asked angrily.

Yan Liao raised his eyebrows, pressed his knuckles, and then his figure flashed a few times, and the big men who were just showing off their might were thrown to the ground with a "bang bang", without even a scream, and they fell unconscious.

At this level, dare to come out and rob houses?

"This..." The old man who had just been kicked down by Brother Shi got up tremblingly, half-kneeled on the ground and looked up at Yan Liao.

The old man is the head of the family. He thought that such a calamity tonight was destined to ruin the family. Who would have thought that a nobleman would fall from the sky and suddenly beat...beat...killed the real uninvited guest? ?

Before the old man had time to rejoice, he became sad again: "Oh, what should I do, they are all popular people around Young Master Zhu, this..."

Seeing that Yan Liao was dressed luxuriously and looked good, the old man paused and asked:

"This young master must not be from Jizhou! No wonder you don't know these people, they are all servants of Mr. Zhu, and Mr. Zhu is the favorite son of the governor of Jizhou..."

Yan Liao twitched the corner of his mouth in disdain: "Zhu Zhihua, his 'prestige' is very 'resounding' in Mobei. This bastard, I should have killed him last time!"

The old man was taken aback by what Yan Liao said, and before he could say anything, he saw Yan Liao lift the collars of the felled men, one in each hand, turned around and threw them out of the courtyard gate, killing all six of them. Throw it into the woods far away on the opposite side.

Old man: "..."

The woman who was still lying on the ground sobbing and crying silently didn't dare to look up, but she was startled by Yan Liao's actions, and finally looked up to see the man in black throwing the big men out like chickens.

Seeing this, the woman was stunned for an instant, and even the unstoppable sobs stopped abruptly.

The woman noticed that on the back of the young man's black brocade suit was embroidered a flaming red phoenix with wings spreading and long tail feathers. There was also a two-foot-seven-inch black waist knife hanging across the back of his waist.

This made her think that when her elder brother was still at home, whenever he talked about Mobei, the princely country on the border, Yan Liao, the prince of Mobei, would be mentioned immediately.

The elder brother will always show a look that she doesn't understand, saying excitedly that the prince of Mobei likes to wear all kinds of black clothes embroidered with birds; After losing the battle, riding a precious horse, Chitu, with a waist knife burning like a flame, the foreigners who fought back kept retreating, not daring to take a step against Da'an...

It's a pity that my elder brother was conscripted to serve in corvee a few years ago, saying that he wanted to build some Furong Bingdi Garden. After going there for many years, he never realized his dream of joining the army.

Missing her loved ones, the woman's eyes filled with tears again.She carefully looked at the luxurious and handsome man, and her heart was extremely shocked.

Could it be that the benefactor who saved his family today is...?

Moving her knees to support the old mother who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up, the woman opened her lips slightly and wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to say anything.

After throwing everyone away, Yan Liao clapped his hands. He didn't look back, but just looked at the tied horse outside, his eyes moved slightly.

The old man looked distressed: "Young master... aren't you afraid of offending the governor of Jizhou?"

Yan Liao: "..."

Yan Liaoxin said that he was going to find Zhu Yong to borrow troops.

"You don't have to worry, this place is not far from Mobei. If there is such a thing as a dog official bullying the people again, go directly to Mobei to find an official, and someone will take care of it!"

The old man was still afraid: "Master killed them all..."

Yan Liao put his hands behind his back and said disdainfully: "They don't deserve to die in my hands. I just knocked them out and threw them out to fend for themselves. The snow will be thick next year, and they will be buried in the snow tonight. They will be used as fertilizer after the spring begins. .”

This kind of person is more valuable as a fertilizer than as a human being.

The old man was speechless: "..."

If you knock people unconscious to that extent and throw them into the snow, they will definitely die!And... no?Who wants to have six corpses buried opposite the main gate of their own house!Scared to death, okay?

Yan Liao took another look at the horses in the yard, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt that these horses were good.

The villains raised by Zhu Yong's son can ride this kind of horse. It seems that Zhu Yong has squeezed the people's fat all these years.The dignified sheriff doesn't do his job well, and even connives at the people below to do evil.

Yan Shizi said that Mobei's military resources and troops are the top priority, and these horses can be taken back to the barracks.

Turning around, Yan Liao said to the old man, "Take care of these horses for me, and take them away when I come back after finishing my work."

After speaking, Yan Liao touched his pocket, wanting to find some money to hand to the family, but unfortunately the pocket was empty, not a penny.

Yan Liao coughed lightly: "...I still have to go to the government office of Jizhou, and someone will come to pick up these horses with money."

The old man was stunned again, Jizhou government office? ?

This son just killed young master Zhu's people, and he said that he should have killed young master Zhu last time... Could it be that he wants to raise a knife to eliminate evil for the people? !

After Yan Liao finished speaking, he walked into the courtyard, took Chitu and prepared to leave.

The woman's eyes were sharp, and when she saw the tall red rabbit horse, her heart was overwhelmed immediately, and she also ran out the door.

The old man hurriedly shouted: "Girl, what are you doing!"

"I'm going to take a few horses to the stable. Didn't the prince say that he would take them away after finishing the work? Wouldn't the horses freeze to death after leaving them like this?"

While untying the horse's rein, the woman looked at Yan Liao, watching Yan Liao galloping on the horse and heading east.

Wait...East?

Just now, Yan Shizi said that he was going to the government office of Jizhou, right?

The woman ran out, shouting loudly, "Your Majesty! Are you going to the Jizhou government office? The Jizhou government office is going to the west!"

Yan Liao: "..."
