Ouch! How dangerous it is! The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the blue sky.

The land of Bashu is surrounded by mountains. No matter which side you leave the river, you have to climb over mountains and ridges, so the road will naturally not be easy.

In the scorching heat of midsummer, people are naturally in a bad mood when they are on a rugged mountain road.

Qingju Mountain is a mountain that is neither high nor big, but it is a bit eerie. A group of officers and soldiers are walking on the official road in the mountain, escorting more than a dozen carriages carrying large boxes. The boxes are surrounded by

There is a big red word "official" printed on it, and there is also a government seal on it. It is obviously an important item that the government wants to escort to other places.

The leading officer was a garrison general from Chengdu Prefecture named Song Jin. He was on orders from the governor of Sichuan to escort more than ten carts to Huguang. Huguang was experiencing a famine at this time, so the court ordered the nearby provinces to raise funds.

Money and food for disaster relief. Bashu, the land of heaven, has always been a prosperous land, so 1.5 million taels of disaster silver were raised, all of which were packed into these two dozen or so large carts.

With such a large amount of official silver, there will naturally be no shortage of escorts. There are nearly 150 officers and soldiers accompanying them. Although there are many officers and soldiers, Song Jin, the escorting officer, still dare not take it lightly. Because once this matter goes wrong, they will immediately

One hundred and fifty people would all lose their heads. The lives of everyone depended on him, so he naturally did not dare to relax. So he chose to go on the road when it was hot at noon and in the dead of night, so as to avoid people's eyes and ears as much as possible.

But how could such a large team really avoid the eyes of others, so his escort team was still stared at by others.

There were blazing flames in the sky and the mountainous journey was difficult and dangerous, which made it difficult for all the officers and soldiers to endure.

"General, it's shady here, can you let the brothers have a rest and drink some water before leaving?" an officer suggested.

Song Jin looked at the hillsides on both sides and saw that the slopes were vertical and unreachable, and the sun could not enter. It was indeed a shady place. But Song Jin always felt that the mountains were like a lion's mouth, swallowing them up.

In the belly.

He had a bad feeling in his heart, so he urged: "No, this is not a good place. We can't rest. It's better to rest when we get to Shunqing Mansion."

He was doing this for the sake of safety. The officers and soldiers were complaining, but they couldn't care less. As long as everyone successfully completed the mission, that would be better than anything else. Even if the officers and soldiers complained a few times, it would still be worth it.

Song Jin had already spoken. Although the officers and soldiers were unhappy, they could only keep it in their hearts and had to obey the order and hurry on.

The convoy had just reached the entrance of the valley and was about to climb out of the "Lion's Mouth" when suddenly a carriage rushed out from in front and hit the first official car. The people on the carriage shouted and scolded, but the horse seemed to

He was frightened and disobedient at all, so he still rammed into the official car.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Song Jin hurriedly ordered: "Stop it."

Several pikemen were ordered to immediately stand in the front row, press the butts of their guns to the ground, point the tips of their spears at the carriage, and quickly form a spear formation to protect the safety of the official carriage.

Unexpectedly, the horse didn't seem to be an ordinary bad horse. It was not afraid at all when it saw the spear formation. It suddenly raised its hoofs and kicked several officers and soldiers in front of them to the ground. The spear formation was actually rushed out by it.

gap.

When Song Jin saw it, he was furious and said, "Kill this life saver for me."

Several other pikemen already had their guns in hand, and they all stabbed at the evil horse. The evil horse was stabbed, and fell to the ground with a long hiss, and lost its breath for a moment. However, the carriage behind it continued to move forward unabated, "Pa"

The ground collided heavily with the first official car. The official car's axle could not withstand the violent impact and broke into two pieces with a "click", causing the official car to tilt to the ground.

The driver of the horse was a middle-aged man. When he was thrown off the horse, his first reaction was to ask: "Old lady, are you okay?"

At this time, a middle-aged woman slowly climbed out of the fallen carriage. Her forehead had been cut, and the middle-aged man immediately stepped forward to help her up.

Song Jin saw that they seemed to be just an ordinary couple, but they frightened him, and he felt angry, so he shouted: "You are so bold and cunning, you actually rammed into an official car, arrest me." More than ten officers and soldiers immediately arrested them.

The middle-aged couple were surrounded. The middle-aged man seemed to be an honest man. When he saw this, he was immediately frightened. He knelt down and begged: "Master, how dare you intentionally ram into the official car! I don't know what happened to the life just now."

, suddenly went crazy, and the little one couldn't hold it back no matter how hard he pulled it. I hope the adults will not remember the villain's faults and be merciful!" As he said this, the pants underneath him had already become wet.

When the officers and soldiers saw that he was so frightened that he peed his pants, they all yelled "pussy" and burst into laughter.

Song Jin did see him keep shouting at the evil horse, and it seemed that what he said was true. He also saw that he was very honest, and didn't want to go into details. After all, hurrying was the most important thing. So he asked again: "Then you hit me?"

It’s an official car, but how do you plan it?”

The middle-aged man immediately said: "The young man also brought some silver coins, and I will pay them all to the official." After saying that, he immediately opened the curtain, climbed into the carriage and rummaged for the silver coins.

"smell good!"

The moment the middle-aged man opened the curtain, all the officers and soldiers smelled a strange fragrance, and all the bones in their bodies seemed to be crispy.

Song Jin also smelled the strange fragrance, and felt that it smelled very comfortable, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, so he took the money from the middle-aged man's hand, and then ordered: "Move the boxes of this car to other cars, and then put the

Get rid of the dead horse and let's continue on our way."

After receiving the order, several officers and soldiers stepped forward to move the boxes. Two officers and soldiers moved a box. They tried hard, but the box did not move at all. The two officers and soldiers said: "We both moved the boxes last time! Why did it become heavier this time?"

Where are you?" I looked at the other officers and soldiers, but they couldn't move the box. Then I felt dizzy, couldn't stand, and fell to the ground.

When Song Jin saw the officers and soldiers around him falling to the ground, he suddenly woke up, covered his ears and nose, and shouted: "Everyone, be careful, the incense is poisonous." But it was too late, and he saw forty or fifty men suddenly rushing out from the mountains on both sides, all holding hands.

Sharp blades rushed over. Although there were many officers and soldiers, most of them were poisoned by the poisonous incense and had no strength at all. How could they withstand the charge of so many heroes from the rivers and lakes and green forests? They were instantly defeated.

The two middle-aged couples suddenly changed their faces at this time, and they were both holding sharp knives to kill the officers and soldiers. After all, Song Jin was a general and a brave person. Although he was poisoned, he was not afraid at all. At this time, his horse also

He was poisoned and couldn't move. So he got off his horse, pulled out his sword, and chopped down the two robbers as soon as he got up. Seeing that the couple was very brave and killed many officers and soldiers, he was furious and cursed: "Traitors, eat them."

Your grandfather has two swords."

The middle-aged man said to the woman: "We cannot leave him alive, we must kill him."

So the couple joined forces to besiege Song Jin, intending to kill and silence him. However, Song Jin was a cautious person and did not smell too much poisonous fragrance. At this time, he was just a little dizzy and did not faint. He was also highly skilled in martial arts.

He fought against two people alone even though he was poisoned, but he still didn't lose. If he didn't have any skills, how could the governor be willing to entrust him with such an important job?

Seeing that Song Jin could not be taken down for a while, the middle-aged man was surprised and said: "He is still tough, but things will change later. We have to retreat quickly." So with a whistle, the robbers immediately drove the official car to the other direction of the official road.

Retreat.

Seeing that Song Jin was in a hurry, he abandoned the middle-aged man and ran after the official car with a loud voice. The middle-aged couple knew that they could not defeat Song Jin for a while, and did not want to get entangled, so they followed the official car and left.

However, Song Jin refused to give up. He chased and chopped down two more robbers and held one of them tightly. When the middle-aged man saw that Song Jin had captured a living man, he wanted to come back to rescue him. Suddenly, the official road came over.

Three officials jumped out and chased after them. Seeing that something was not going well, the middle-aged couple had to retreat quickly.

Those three officers were the agents of Shunqing Mansion. They had just finished their errands and were about to return to Shunqing Mansion. They happened to hear the sound of fighting and chased after them to see what was going on.

When Song Jin saw the official officer, he shouted: "They robbed the official's money, chase them quickly, we can't let them escape."

The leading detective was named Fan Chou, who was also a brave man. When he heard Song Jin's cry, he knew what had happened, and said to the two fellow detectives: "You take care of the general, I will go after the gangster."

."

The two officials saw that there were many people on the other side and did not want to take risks, so they were naturally very happy.

Fan Chou was not far behind when he suddenly saw two masked men coming out from both sides at the same time. Fan Chou pulled out his official sword and fought one against two. He realized that both of them were very strong in martial arts and were not ordinary robbers. Fan Chou was not like Song Jin.

His good skills were no match for the two men's joint attack. In the blink of an eye, he was hit by a sword in his left hand. At that moment, he also succeeded in tearing off the veil of one of them. Fan Chou took a look at the man.

, he actually knew him, so he said: "Murong Tian, ​​it's you!"

Murongtian originally wanted to kill him and silence him, but a large group of officers were already chasing him, and it was the two officers who had just attracted him. Murongtian had no choice but to threaten: "Fan, if you dare to speak nonsense, I will

I’ll kill your whole family.” After saying that, he and another masked man fled away. By the time the official arrived, the robber had already disappeared.

The officers came back and took inventory. One hundred and fifty officers and soldiers were all killed except Song Jin. Song Jin killed four robbers and threatened to capture one. Fan Chou had to take the robbers back to Shunqing with Song Jin.
