Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Ximen Qing, Jiao Ting and Shi Yong walked to a pine tree by the side of the road and sat on the ground.The servants were busy making tea for them, or loosening the girths of the horses and leading them to graze.

The three of them chatted for a few words, enjoying the peace and tranquility of this moment.Unexpectedly, a gust of wind was blowing from the other side of the valley, Shi Yong's ears perked up, and he gestured to Ximen Qing and Jiao Ting.

"Two brothers, there seems to be movement in the valley!" Shi Yong stood up and looked towards the entrance of the valley.Ximen Qing and Jiao Ting also stood up from the ground.

Just at this moment, a man on horseback rushed out from the entrance of the valley.In the blink of an eye, he rushed straight to Ximen Qing and the others.

"Brother, be careful!" Ximen Qing hugged Shi Yong in front of him and jumped to the right, quickly dodging the galloping horse.

"You're such a bold dog!" Jiao Ting was furious, stepped aside from the horse's head, grabbed the rein with one hand, and grabbed the rider with the other.

The horse was suddenly blocked by Ximen Qing and the others, and Jiao Ting pulled the rein forcefully. Suddenly, the horse stood up with a scream, and kicked wildly with its front hooves, throwing the man on the horse to the grass.

Seeing this, Jiao Ting let go of the rein in his hand, let the frightened horse run wild, and turned around to hit the person who fell to the ground.

"Hold on, brother, this person is already injured!" Ximen Qing's voice sounded beside Jiao Ting.

"Everyone, help~save..." The man lying on the ground stretched out his right hand towards Ximen Qing and the others, as if about to say something, but suddenly his eyes dimmed and he swallowed his last breath.

Shi Yong squatted down and probed the man's breath with his hand, shook his head at Ximen Qing and said, "Brother, this man must be saved."

Ximen Qing looked at the man on the ground, and saw several bleeding wounds on his body, apparently seriously injured by a sword.I'm afraid he rode out with his last breath, there must be something strange in this valley!

"Brother Jiao Ting, go ahead and see what's going on first! Brother, don't be careless." Ximen Qing said to Jiao Ting.

Jiao Ting saw the situation and knew something was different.He took a plain knife from the horse, put on the long handle, stooped and tiptoed towards the mouth of the valley.

"Brother, please take a look!" Shi Yong took a waist card from the man on the ground and handed it to Ximen Qing.

Ximen Qing took the hand and took a closer look, only to see the word "Xin" written on the waist card.He asked everyone: "This person is probably a domestic servant. Does anyone know if there is a big family named Xin near Licheng?"

One of the servants replied: "I'm a senior official, I've been asking around for the senior officials for the past few days. I know that there is a Xinjia Village in the south of the city, and the owner of that village is from a family of officials and eunuchs. Could it be that this person is from the Xin Family Village?" ?”

"Since you know about Naxing's Village, take this badge and ride to Naxin's Village to report the news." Ximen Qing said to the servant.

"Brother, be careful, a group of thieves are coming ahead!" Jiao Ting ran back with a simple knife.

Hearing this, Ximen Qing told the servant to ride away quickly, and he himself took a simple knife from the horse's back, and stood on the side of the road, ready to fight with the thieves.

Shi Yong and several Zhuang Ke's servants also took up their weapons and stood beside Ximen Qing, guarding them carefully.

At this moment, more than [-] murderous bandits and bandits rushed out of the valley mouth, holding all kinds of knives, guns and sticks.

"Where are some other birdmen with no eyes? Dare to block our way! Look at that guy who is rich and noble, but he doesn't send money to his door? Little ones, let me take them all!" Shining, waving the big knife in his hand and roaring.

"Kill! Rob!" Twenty or so robbers rushed forward in a chaotic manner.

"Damn! How dare you look down on the master and take a knife from the master!" Shi Yong stepped forward to meet him.

"Come and kill one by one! Wu Na, the thief, come and die!" Jiao Ting also fought with the robber with his sword.

Ximen Qing held a plain knife horizontally, and stood aside with a few servants to watch the battle, but did not rush forward.

Are you kidding me, my uncle Ximen brought out two of Liangshan's [-] generals, do I still need to fight these nameless little thieves?In Ximen Qing's eyes, these twenty or so robbers came to give away their heads to help Jiao Ting and Shi Yong gain experience.

As Ximen Qing expected, Jiao Ting and Shi Yong were like hungry wolves in the flock of sheep, killing them immediately.I saw the two simple knives of the two of them flying up and down, knocking down more than a dozen robbers in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, the bandit leader turned around and ran away after screaming, and the rest of the bandits also shouted loudly and ran towards the valley mouth behind him.

"Where is the dog thieves running away!" Jiao Ting slashed down a robber, shouting and chasing after him.Shi Yong had just voted for Ximen Qing, so he naturally wanted to show off, so he followed Jiao Ting and rushed over.

Ximen Qing ordered the servants to stay where they were and carefully inspect the robbers lying on the ground, and if they were found to be alive, they would make up for it, so as not to miss it.After explaining, Ximen Qing himself raised his knife and followed Jiao Ting and Shi Yong into the Taniguchi.

On both sides of the road, from time to time, a bandit who was chased down by Jiao Ting and Shi Yong fell down.When Ximen Qing ran over, he always kindly stabbed their vital parts with a knife to help relieve their pain.Oops~ The feeling of making up the knife is really beautiful!Those of you who accept help don’t need to thank me, I am the red scarf of the new era!

After chasing for a while, Ximen Qing was able to kill, and he no longer hid behind Jiao Ting and Shi Yong and just waited to make up the knife.He chased after him and directly joined the ranks of chasing the robbers.

Not long after, the three of them had gone deep into the valley and killed more than a dozen escaped robbers, leaving only the leader who escaped the fastest, still running forward.

Ximen Qing let go of his speed, rushed to the bandit leader's back in a few steps, slashed at the man's back, and knocked him to the ground.

Why is it so noisy?Ximen Qing raised his head and looked ahead, and couldn't help but be surprised.

There are so many heads here!

Chapter 27 Rescue in the Valley

Yu Baosi sat on a piece of bluestone, watching the scene of fighting down the slope, feeling very angry inside.Why am I so miserable, without a capable subordinate!

I think I am one foot tall, with a waist several circumferences wide, born with brute strength, and everyone in the world respects me as the "God of Danger".With this prestige, I, Yu Bao, gathered hundreds of brothers under my four subordinates, and I was once an indomitable figure on the ground in Qingzhou.

It's all those foreign monks!

The leader Deng Long of the Baozhu Temple in Erlong Mountain heard about my name and sent someone to invite me to the mountain to gather together.How could I know that before I could go up the mountain, that evil monk killed Deng Long, the master, and took away the foundation of Baozhu Temple in Erlong Mountain.

I couldn't bear it anymore, so I took hundreds of brothers to compete with the monk for Erlong Mountain, claiming to avenge Deng Long's family.But that evil monk was very ferocious, he swung his fine iron Zen staff so hard that the water couldn't get in, and killed hundreds of my brothers.If I hadn't seen the opportunity to retreat quickly, I'm afraid I would have become the ghost of that evil monk's stick.

The evil monk who offended Erlong Mountain couldn't stay on the ground in Qingzhou. I could only take these hundreds of brothers to Qizhou to find a meal.

It's also time for me to be prosperous. I just arrived at the edge of Lishan Mountain today, and I met a group of rich and wealthy people who went to the mountain for fun. They are really fat sheep!

What's annoying is that the brothers under his command were too weak, more than a hundred people besieged the convoy in the valley, but they couldn't succeed, and one of them escaped on horseback.

Why!My subordinates are all incompetent, so I can only leave my hometown and flee Qingzhou.How come my life, Yu Baosi, is so miserable!

Yu Baosi was chewing the grass root in his mouth, and stared at the valley down the slope with hatred.

I saw two carriages in the valley, and the woman's screams came from the carriage, which made me and my brothers, who hadn't tasted meat for a long time, feel hot all over.

Around the carriage, there were more than [-] people guarding the carriage with knives, and even repelled several attacks by his men.

Especially the person who was dressed as a scholar in his 30s, that guy looked like a scholar, with a good sword, he had already killed more than a dozen of his brothers!

Trying to snatch a few women in Qizhou to satisfy my greed, but it's not going well. How can I, Yu Baosi, be so miserable!

Just as Yu Baosiyu, the leader of the bandits in Qingzhou, killed the scribe with his eyes and curses, there were several screams from the east exit of the valley.

Yu Bao turned his head around to look around, and saw a handsome young villain wielding a knife and killing his loyal and kind-hearted little boss, and even repaired several times in a vile way.

Behind the young man, two men, one fat and one thin, came up with knives and stood beside him.What the hell kind of birdman is this? How dare you interfere with the good deeds of my "God of the Dangerous Way" Yu Baosi!

"Little ones, copycats!" Yu Baosi stood up and shouted to a group of bandits who were watching the battle.

"What a big scene!" Ximen Qing looked at the scene in the valley and exclaimed.

Not far ahead, a group of people and two carriages were surrounded by hundreds of robbers, and the two sides were slashing at each other with swords.Among the surrounded people, many of them were dressed the same as the man who rode out of the valley just now, probably they were all from Xinjiazhuang.

Most of these people were wounded and dying, but they still tried their best to protect the carriage.In the carriage, women's screams could be heard from time to time, obviously there were important female relatives.
