Chapter 46, Tian Yutian Xian

The clouds are light and the wind is light, and the sky is gradually depressed. The roaring north wind is like an assassin with a hidden blade.

A sudden movement occurred in the distance to the west. A Xing, who was responsible for monitoring a hundred steps away, quickly ran back and shocked the children who were resting behind the hill. Everyone cheered up and picked up the blade in their hands. A Xing climbed up the hill to find Zu Zhao, Zu Fan and others. While pointing to the west direction, he said slightly eagerly:

"Big son, someone came to the west. A lot of people."

Zuzu Zhao and others were a little surprised to hear this. The west is exactly the direction they came. Zu Li and more than a dozen other Zu's children are lurking there. How can they easily let people come here now? Zu Zhao straightened up and walked west for a while. Standing on the slope of the hill and looking up, he saw more than a dozen knights running at the end of the forest in the distance, and the dust was flying behind him, showing an urgent momentum.

"Who are they?" Gongsun Long pressed the sword with one hand and frowned.

"It seems that they are all armed." Zu Fan narrowed his eyes for a while, but said in a tone that was not nervous.

If you carry a regular blade, it is obviously not a thief.

"Look, is that Zhao Sange?" As the comer got closer and closer, Zu Xing suddenly pointed to the leader and shouted.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Sange is also a son of the Zu family. He originally followed Zu Li's West Road team, but now he doesn't know how he came over. Moreover, there are only about ten people in the team on the West Road. At this time, more than 10 people appear even more than the team on the West Road. Where did they come from?

It wasn't long before the knights got closer and closer. Zu Zhao quickly recognized that the leader was indeed Zhao San, while the others behind Zhao San were mostly men in soap. A few of them are usually dressed, with swords and bows, which may be doormen under the shelter of others or hunters.

"Oh, how can there be an official difference?" Zu Fan was an official and recognized the identity of those men in soap at a glance.

"Could it be that Lieutenant Wen and the others rushed here?" Zu Xing couldn't help asking.

"It's impossible. I discussed with Lord Wen earlier that we will not wear official uniforms to cover up our whereabouts." Zu Fan shook his head.

"Who would that be?" Gongsun Long was puzzled.

"It seems to be the governor of the county government." At this time, Han Dang said slowly.

"How could this happen?" Gongsun Long was surprised. Everyone knew that Han was being wanted by Zhi County, and they were all worried.

"It doesn't matter. If I, Han, really want to be captured, I won't be with you today." Han Dang said as if nothing had happened, with a smile on the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were very sharp.

"Brother Han, don't worry," Zu Zhao, who didn't say much, said calmly, "I will never break my promise to Brother Han. However, it is determined that these people will never come for Brother Han.

"How can I see it?" Gongsun Long asked.

Zu Zhao didn't say much. Although Zu Li did not know the identity of Han Dang, he should also know how to distinguish priorities with Zu Li's discrimination. At this time, everyone is fully armed, and they will officially start to take action within an hour or two. How can they lose big at this time? In addition, the Xu Wu County Government has sent an official message yesterday to inform the news of the horse robbery case, and Lingzhi County is aware of this matter. At this moment, these officials should know what happened when they see the children of the heavily armed ancestral family. Ten thousand steps back, how could the Lingzhi County Government know that Han Dang was here?

After a moment, Zhao San and the soap knight approached. After seeing the ancestors on the hill, they immediately slowed down.

At the bottom of the hill, Zhao San jumped off the horse first and ran to Zu Zhao and others in three or two steps.

Before Zhao San could speak, Zu Fan asked first, "Why are you here?" Are they from Lingzhi County?

Zhao San nodded and said hurriedly, "Exactly, these are all arresters of Lingzhi County officials. The eldest son, something happened, and the situation has changed. Ah Cheng and others..." Speaking of this, he didn't mention it in a breath.

At this time, the officials in soap clothes also disared one after another and came over under the belt of a leader.

The leader is 40 years old and thin. Although he is dressed as a martial artist, it is difficult to hide his literary temperament. Taking advantage of Zhao San's broken sentence, he strode forward, bowed to Zu Zhao and others, and said, "I'm ordering Cao Tianxian to make contributions to Zhixian. Specially ordered by the county magistrate, dare you ask who is the eldest son of Zu?

Zi Zhao took a step forward and said, "It's Zu Zhao below. I don't know where Lord Tian came from?"

Tian Xian looked at Zu Zhao carefully for a while and said slowly, "This county has received an official letter from Chen Xianjun yesterday. It is a big deal and cannot be reckless. Since yesterday, this county has begun martial law. In this issue, I met with Chen Xianjun first, and then discussed it in detail. Unexpectedly, there was some accident at noon today. Several children in Guizhuang fled to the East Market with injuries. One of them died of serious injuries and died. After reporting this matter to the county government, we will go to pick it up immediately.

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed.

The "six children" mentioned in Tian Xian's mouth are obviously Zucheng, Zubao, Zuzhong and others.

In the morning, I heard that Zu Cheng and others rushed to inquire about the thief's feelings at night, which was already worrying. Unexpectedly, the worry came true. They were indeed plotted by the thief. Thinking that many people have died in the horse robbery case, and at this time, another young child was unfortunately concerised. Everyone present sighed and was very sad.

Gongsun Long looked at Zu Zhao. He suddenly found that Zu Zhao could still keep calm at this time. Except for frowning, he could not see any waves on his face. He just wanted to say something, but when he came to his mouth, he was interrupted by Tian Xian.

After a pause, Tian Xian continued: "Please relax. The rest of the injured have been properly settled at present, and there is no risk of life. In addition, several injured also specifically conveyed the news about the thief, saying that the thief did hide in Lin Congzhong, but there were a large number of people, nearly half of the riders, far more than the more than 40 people inquired before.

Zu Fan exclaimed, "What?"

Zhang Yu couldn't help cursing: "Is it that Wang Zheng thief deliberately bullied me? Humph, after going back, you will definitely kill this thief with thousands of knives. It's not a pity for such a thief to die.

Han Dang, Zhang Yuan and others have varying degrees of color change. It is not that they did not expect that there will be many uncertain accidents on this trip, including the specific number of thieves. Naturally, they will not easily believe Wang Zheng's one-sided words. But even with such thoughts, I never expected that the real situation would be so wrong. Not only the number of thieves far exceeded 40, but even half of the riders!

Zu Zhao frowned deeper. Although he can't determine what the situation is like now, he can believe that Wang Zheng did not lie. It is not good for Wang Zheng to lie in his current situation, and Wang Zheng is definitely not a superstitious defender. Naturally, he can't Be able to make self-sacrifice in order to "realize the so-called overall situation". The only thing he can predict is that there will be another wave of thieves in these two days.

But why are there so many riders? If it is really a rider, it obviously means that these thieves are extraordinary, and what will their real action be?

Zu Fanqiang held up a confidence and asked Tian Xian, "How many thieves are there?"

Tian Xian sighed and said, "According to them, there are 60 or 70 people, and most may be more than 100."

There was an immediate private discussion among the crowd, and the number of thieves doubled in vain, which was not a good omen. This time, the ancestors' children and Anyang Pavilion rangers who came to encircle and suppress the thieves totaled only more than 130 people. Although they are well-equipped, they can be divided into four to avoid looking for needles in a haystack, and the least of the team is only more than a dozen. If the thief sees through the suspects or confronts any team head-on, the advantages and disadvantages will be immediately clear.

I'm afraid that if I can't suppress the thief this time, I will be counterattacked by the thief.

Tian Xian then said, "I was ordered to come here, hoping that the ancestor could pass it on quickly, gather the righteous men of Guizhuang to temporarily retreat to the county, wait for you and our two counties to calculate the countermeasures, dispatch officers and soldiers, and then catch the thieves."

Zhang Yuan, Han Dang, Zu Fan and others all turned their eyes to Zu Zhao and waited for Zu Zhao's reply.

Zu Zhao was silent for a moment, and then asked Tian Xian, "The thief has been shocked and should be evacuated as soon as possible. But when I arrived here in the afternoon, I didn't meet any suspicious people. It is not difficult to imagine that nine out of ten thieves are still hiding in it. Such acrat, he is either a desperado or something else.

Zu Fan and Zhang Yuan looked at each other in con's face, and it took a long time to come over.

The forest covers a wide area. The thieves attacked Zucheng, Zubao and others at noon. I'm afraid it will take some time to retreat. After all, half of the thieves don't have mounts.

If this is the calculation, when the thief fled north, when Zu Zhao led the team to arrive, he will inevitably see the end of the thief brigade on the wilderness Gobi; to the east is the official road, which is easy to attract attention; less than 30 miles to the south is Lingzhi County, and the thief will not choose this road no matter how stupid he is; it is even more impossible to go to the west. It will directly hit a head-on with the ancestral brigade.

Tian Xian narrowed his eyes. Although he didn't care about the first half of Zu Zhao's words, he realized the importance of the other party's last sentence. The thief has already frightened the snake, but he is still not in a hurry to escape, which is really not a simple matter. After a little meditation, he still said, "Mr. Zu, I understand what you mean, but even so, the enemy is not allowed to act rashly. In my opinion, it has to be discussed in the long-term.

Zu Fan also said, "Son, the number of thieves is unknown, and the plan has changed. It's better to withdraw first."

Zu Zhao will not be stubborn, but if he withdraws at this time, he will point out whether the thief hiding in Lin Cong will take the opportunity to escape. He is not waiting for this opportunity for a day or two, and there will be no mistake.

When he raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Lin, another idea suddenly appeared in his mind. After thinking for a while, he immediately said decisively, "We can not enter the forest for the time being, but we must surround all sides. The thief does not escape at this time, which does not mean that he will not escape tonight. Even if the thief tries to stick to the jungle, we can also design it to escape. This time, I will avenge the people who died in the village and never let a thief go.

Hearing Zu Zhao's arrangement, everyone can at least breathe a sigh of relief. They are afraid that the eldest son will stick to the original plan for a while, which will cause more serious losses. When it comes to revenge, the children of the ancestral family present have a hot-blooded impulse, so they also agree with the eldest son's intention to leave a siege of the thief. When the thief appears, from dark to bright, everyone is still sure to fight head-on. How can the children of the family be afraid of a group of rabbles, even if they are one enemy?

Tian Xian was a little surprised that he was not afraid of Zu Zhao and made such a decision very quickly. It's not that he hasn't heard of Zu Zhao's reputation, but considering that the other party is a 16-year-old teenager, how can he have such a chic demeanor and posture?

He was silent for a while, suddenly laughed, and bowed his hand to Zu Zhao again and said, "I heard that Mr. Zu's words 'but made the dragon city fly and did not teach Hu Madu Yinshan', and we were able to meet today, which is really worthy of the name. Tian is very admirable."

Zu Zhao was not surprised or happy, but still returned the politely and said, "Lord Tian has a good reputation, and the younger generation is ashamed."

Tian Xian nodded slowly and said in a low voice, "To be honest, before Tian left the city, someone had told his ancestor that he would never evacuate easily. In this case, Tian could only rush back to the county seat first, reported the matter to the county magistrate, and urged him to ask for help from the Lulongse officers and soldiers as soon as possible. Please be more careful before the reinforcements arrive.

Zu Zhao couldn't help but be a little surprised. First of all, he didn't expect that Tian Xian's attitude would change so quickly, and he didn't expect that there would be anyone in Lingzhi County who would not retreat easily. He bowed his hand to Tian Xian again and asked, "I don't know who heard what Lord Tian said, and how could he expect things like a god?"

Tian Xian smiled and said, "I'm ashamed to say that it was Tian's nephew who said this. It's not that Tian's nephew lives in Yuyang and has been smart since he was a child. He doesn't know his name in Tingxiang. As the end of the year is approaching, the nephew's family gathered at Tian's home by Yuyang for the holiday. Although he was thirteen years old, he had a lot of talent. After listening to the heroic words of the "Dragon City Flying General" of the ancestor, he figure out the temperament of the ancestor himself, so he specially told him before leaving. Tian was only talking as a joke, but he didn't expect it to be true.

Not only did Zu Zhao feel that this matter was very strange, but the people around him felt that it was a strange thing, and he was immediately interested.

Zu Zhao said quietly, "Really? Is there such a genius?"

Tian Xian also said, "What my nephew said, those who can chant 'but dragon city flying generals and do not teach Hu Ma Du Yinshan' are either lonely and arrogant people or people with strong intentions. Neither the former nor the latter will easily forgive the thieves who robbed the horse and killed people, and will not easily withdraw."

Zu Zhao really can't comment on this explanation. Fortunately, the other party gave two completely different comments, so as not to put himself completely in a derogatory sense.

smiled indifferently and asked, "May I ask the name of this little brother?"

Tian Xian said, "My nephew is a single name."

Zu Zhao's face has changed slightly. Combined with the origin and age of Tian Xian's previous introduction of this nephew, it can be presumed that the other party is Tian Yu, a famous general in the Three Kingdoms period. Tian Yu followed Liu Bei when he was young, but it didn't last long. However, he left Liu Bei with the evaluation of "I wish I could work with you", which showed that he was a young wizard.

After nod and smiled, he said, "If there is a chance, the younger generation really wants to meet this little brother."

When Tian Xian saw Zu Zhao's calmness from beginning to end, he couldn't help admiring him even more. With such a magnificent state, it can be seen that the other party is by no means a lonely and proud person. Therefore, he did not cover up and responded frankly, "It's very good. It's rare for Mr. Zu to enjoy his face. He got free time, but he went to the county."

After some acceptance, Zu Zhao entrusted Tian Xian to provide them with some logistical support as much as possible in the name of the local county government. This time, the ancestral family and his party only carried half a day's dry food, and it was very cold at night. Basic living problems must be solved. Tian Xian agreed, saying that he would arrange for the people to send dry food and water one after another later, and promised that the matter would never be delayed for too long. Since the thief's whereabouts were known, he would be able to take action two days later at the latest.

After explaining, Tian Xian was ready to leave, but after a few steps, he turned back.

Zu Zhao asked, "Lord Tian, what else?"

Tian Xian's face was quite hesitant and said, "I almost forgot that the injured righteous man in Guizhuang told the eldest son that the arrow that shot Abao was a black arrow."

When everyone around heard this, they all showed a grim look.

Zu Zhao's face looked low. He didn't reveal much emotion. After sighing a little, he said to Tian Xian, "It's your Lord Tian."

After Tian Xian left with the county government, Zu Zhao was not in a hurry to arrange for the children to notify the other teams.

He turned around and asked Han Dang first, "Brother Han, do you know Tian Gong Cao?"

Han Dang thought for a moment and said, "I don't know each other. This Tian Gong Cao should have been in office for a short time. Some time ago, I heard about this person's reputation, and he was a righteous person.

Zu Zhao nodded, so that he could rest assured that Tian Xian would fulfill his promise, which would not only ensure the logistics of the children of the Zu family, but also urge the county government to dispatch officers and soldiers as soon as possible.

At this time, Zu Fan was a little anxious and came forward and urged, "Son, why don't you send someone to inform other teams immediately? It's not early and the road is not close, so I'm afraid that the situation in the south is still unknown."

Zu Zhao said calmly, "I'm sure there will be heavy fog here tonight, and this is God's help for us. If you don't want to let go, let Uncle Li's people and horses on the West Road and Uncle Ke's people and horses on the East Road come here to wait for a round with us, and then make an appointment with Uncle Ling in the south to create a sound and fire outside the forest in the south.

Everyone heard that Zu Zhao said that the thief was designed to escape, but they didn't expect that he would start to act immediately.

Zu Fan was worried and said, "Big son, it's too big."

After thinking about it, Han Dang said, "If there is really a fog, it may be feasible."

Everyone's eyes fell on Zu Zhao again. Before that, no one knew that Zu Zhao would know the art of starry. As the saying goes, "there are unpredictable winds and clouds in the sky", which can predict that meteorologists have almost heavenly wonders.
