Chapter 71
This was August of the fourth year of Zhongping.
This was also the time when Guo Jia decided to set off for Leping.
It was during this season that Xi Zhicai could write in his letter:
The yam on our mountain is ripe again, but unfortunately I’m full today, so I can only make cakes tomorrow.
However, considering the loss of soil fertility caused by yam, and the fact that Leping has added new households in the past two years and each household has opened up farmland for planting, this is actually an additional year beyond the original two-year planting plan.
In fact, Qiao Yan had not planned to continue growing the crops for a fourth year, but under Xi Zhicai's writing, they became what they are now.
Little did she know that this good strategist had done something so provocative again.
After all, apart from the letters he sent to Luoyang which were used as a political weapon during his confinement in Leping, the letters he wrote to his friends in the opposition were all private matters and she would not ask about them.
Qiao Yan didn't know that he was still continuing his great cause of eating, drinking, and fishing, and he even caught a big fish at this time.
The network of relationships among the scholars in Yingchuan is truly a magical thing.
The messages they passed on to each other made their evaluation of their lord form a kind of spread news, like a private recruitment posted in the circle of friends.
Of course, Xi Zhicai's diary and gossip make this kind of recruitment seem particularly improper and deserve a beating.
But there is no doubt that he was sending a signal to his friends in Yingchuan: Leping is very good, I am very satisfied, and those who are interested can come quickly.
However, Guo Jia felt that he was not lured, so there was no need for him to decide whether to stay or leave after hearing this news.
To put it bluntly, Leping is such a small place. Even though Qiao Yan has the reputation of sacrificing himself to seize power and quell the locust plague, it is only a county. It is already a waste of talent to put Xi Zhicai there. What's the point of adding another one?
Even though he was still young, he could make a rough idea of the current situation and the decisions of strategies at this age. Otherwise, Xun Yu would not have been evaluated as "a talent who can assist the king" by He Yong at such a young age.
Of course, he didn't want to go to Leping just for food and drink.
To put it more formally, he went there to conduct an inspection.
To put it a little more privately, as he said to Xun Yu: "This year is turbulent, it is time to be prepared for danger in times of peace. It is really strange that they enjoy the countryside. I went to take a look."
Xun Yu had no intention of dissuading him.
Now it has not reached the chaotic separatist situation after Liu Hong's death. It has indeed only reached the point of "instability". As Guo Jia said, he just wanted to take a look, and he went to the place where Leping Marquis was personally conferred by the emperor. It cannot be considered a wrong choice.
Actually, Xun Yu was somewhat curious about Qiao Yan, who was also known as a "talented person who can assist the king".
Before he could start his official career, the other party had already made real achievements in Leping, or in Bingzhou.
Since Guo Jia planned to go to Leping to take a look, he might be able to find out what kind of person this Marquis of Leping is, apart from Xi Zhicai's various praises for Qiao Yan.
The various disturbances this year have not affected the road from Luoyang to Leping. If Guo Jia wants to go, there should be no safety problems.
If you just go to Leping and back, you can think of it as a study tour.
After watching Guo Jia leave, he closed the book and couldn't help but sigh.
Another general amnesty in January of the fourth year of Zhongping apparently did not put any sign of calming down the rebels in all directions.
The incident in February when the Xingyang rebels killed the Zhongmou magistrate seemed to be the prelude to this chaos.
In April, the Liangzhou bandits who had been defeated by Zhang Wen earlier made a comeback. Liangzhou Governor Geng Bi ignored Fu Xie's dissuasion and insisted on leading his troops to fight, but was defeated by Han Sui.
At this time, Han Sui annexed the troops of Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu, and joined forces with Li Xiangru, the prefect of Longxi, and Huang Yan, the prefect of Jiuquan, and stationed troops in Jincheng, gathering hundreds of thousands of people. Under the coercion of the army, Geng Bi, who was fleeing, was killed by his deputy.
Han Sui then allied with the Kingdom of Hanyang and marched to besiege Hanyang.
The governor of Hanyang in Liangzhou was Fu Xie, a general under Huangfu Song's command, who was determined not to give up Liangzhou.
How could Fu Xie, defending the city alone, possibly be a match for the bandits from Liang Province who had joined forces with him?
At that time, thousands of Xiongnu cavalrymen from Beidi County were in Han Sui's team. Gratitude for Fu Xie's integrity led them to ask him to leave the city and surrender, and to send him back to his hometown. However, Fu Xie refused with the words "the first is to be chaste, the second is to be loyal".
Later, Fu Xie died in battle in Ji County, Hanyang, and Fu Xie's son Fu Gan was taken away by the chief clerk Yang Hui who broke through the siege and has been missing since then.
After all, the big man lost another brave warrior.
In June, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju of Yuyang rebelled. The prefect of Youbeiping, the prefect of Liaodong, and the commander of the Wuhuan Guard were all killed in the battle. Zhang Ju even proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven and invaded Youzhou and Jizhou.
The imperial court was short of manpower, so it mobilized the Southern Xiongnu tribe in Bingzhou to fight in Jizhou.
While the northern states were experiencing frequent wars, Bingzhou was relatively peaceful, probably because of the protection of the surrounding mountains.
I just don’t know how long this peace can last.
Xun Yu couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.
Currently the war has reached the edge of Sanfu, but has not yet reached Yingchuan. However, as Guo Jia said, this is a time of turmoil, and it is difficult to truly calm down even if you sit in the house and read.
So, could Xi Zhicai really live happily in this place called Leping as he described in his letter?
It was with this question in mind that Guo Jia embarked on his journey north.
Heading north from Yingchuan, he first went to Luoyang.
Xi Zhicai is a mischievous old man, and Guo Jia is not a serious person either.
It is difficult to say whether these two people were hurting each other or honing their writing skills through the letters they exchanged. In any case, while Guo Jia was thinking about the letter that Xi Zhicai had sent earlier, he picked out a gift for him in Luoyang.
He Yong, who had been his tour guide in Luoyang for two days, fell silent as he looked at the gift chosen by Guo Jia.
"Do you really want to take this thing to see Xi Zhicai?" He Yong pointed at a handful of chicken feathers in Guo Jia's hand with a complicated expression.
"It is said in Zhou Li that when scholars meet, they should use pheasants in winter and roe in summer." Guo Jia spread his hands, indicating that his move was quite reasonable.
It is said in the Zhou Li that when scholars meet, especially close friends, they would bring live chickens in winter and slaughtered and pickled chickens in summer. However, when he was about to arrive in Leping it was autumn. What should he do?
Then think about it, the transition from winter to summer is just this handful of chicken feathers.
He came strictly in accordance with the etiquette of scholars and even made a special trip to Luoyang to make purchases. It can be said that the gift was small but the sentiment was great.
Think about the saying "Throw me a papaya, and I will repay you with a jade pendant". He came from far away and brought a handful of chicken feathers in accordance with the etiquette of scholars, so Xi Zhicai should treat him with good wine and food.
While packing the chicken feathers produced in the capital, Guo Jia continued to head north with a caravan heading from Luoyang to Bingzhou.
But when he was leaving Luoyang, he looked back towards the northern suburbs of Luoyang, and a trace of contemplation flashed across his young face, which looked a little playful.
The urgent battle at the Sanfu pass seemed to have made the city of Luoyang still seem peaceful due to the defensive effect brought about by the tight closure of the eight passes during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
He left Luoyang in early September, and Liu Hong issued another decree, which first spread in Luoyang City.
This order was not uncommon before. It was called "Order all prisoners in the world whose crimes have not been tried to pay silk for redemption." 】1
This was the seventh time that this decree was implemented during Liu Hong's administration.
That is to say, the unconvicted prisoners in prison can use silk to redeem themselves.
If it was used in other time gates to demonstrate the emperor's benevolence, it might be feasible, but at this time gate, it seems a bit subtle.
In the face of rebellions in Liangzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou and Yuzhou, the central government issued an order to pardon the prisoners without repelling the enemy in a battle, which only made people feel that the central government could be deceived.
This is not a decision that a big man who is still in a tough state can make...
Just as Guo Jia was thinking about this, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder by the leader of the caravan next to him, "Don't look at it, is this your first time traveling far away?"
This young man who looked poorly dressed was in the team. Although he did not spend much more money than others who traveled with the caravan, there were still some advantages to being decent-looking. For example, he received some care at this time.
Especially when he looked back towards Luoyang, after all, no one knew what he was thinking about in his heart were those matters of family and country. They just thought that he was reluctant to leave.
But how could Guo Jia, who was still waiting to surprise Xi Zhicai with a chicken feather gift, have any reluctance to leave Luoyang?
He retracted his gaze and said, "Thank you for your concern. This is not my first time going out, and I am not from Luoyang. It's just that my friends are seeing me off at the top of the city, so I want to look back and take one more look."
This reason is still very credible.
Anyway, there is another area in the direction of Beiguo, which is the mountain road of Mangshan. From a distance, it is impossible to tell whether there is anyone walking there or whether it is true as Guo Jia said that someone is seeing him off, so he looked back.
He immediately started chatting with the leader of the caravan, causing the other party to forget the previous topic.
What struck him as a coincidence was that the leader of the caravan mentioned that a merchant in the team was actually planning to go to Leping.
In order to hear other people's thoughts on Leping, Guo Jia immediately went to talk to that person on the pretext that he was planning to visit relatives in Leping.
Seeing that Guo Jia was young and they had a common destination, and that he might have relatives there who could help him, the merchant did not hide his thoughts, and when they camped at night, the two chatted in front of the fire.
"Leping was a small county a few years ago. Since the establishment of Leping Marquis, its status in Bingzhou has changed greatly."
The temperature difference at night in autumn made the merchant move closer to the fire, and then he continued, "There are quite a few new things in that place, but unfortunately most of them are in cooperation with the big families in Bingzhou. For example, the mulberry leather jacket, it sounds like someone first presented the formula to the Wang family, and finally gave it to the Tang family, and chose Leping to make it, but it's just a listen."
"I'm afraid this is the masterpiece of that Lord Qiao."
A strange light flashed in Guo Jia's eyes. He realized that the businessman in front of him had an unusual look in his eyes. "What does this mean?"
"Taking charge of everything from head to toe can bring more profits and reputation to Tang's company. We in business know best what it means to haggle over every penny, unless the initiative of the profit is not in our hands." He shook his head and said, "But the upper limit of the price of the mulberry leather jacket is here, I don't plan to do this."
"So you want to do the business of Leping Marquis paper?" Guo Jia asked.
"Not really." The man shook his head seriously. "The current situation is turbulent. Even though Lepinghou paper is more difficult to damage than Caihou paper, the transaction amount is still limited. I want to do a more interesting business."
He pointed to the stream near where they were camping and asked, "How much do you think you earn a year from fishing the fish in that stream?"
Guo Jia thought for a moment and replied, "It depends on where you are. If you just fish in the streams in the north, it's enough to make a living. But if it's near the sea, on the banks of a big river, recruiting fishermen as laborers may be a big business."
The businessman with a Xuzhou accent clapped his hands and said with a smile, "That's right, but ordinary fishing is just like that, but Leping has come up with something new."
"I like wine. A few days ago, I sent someone to Leping to buy some kudzu wine. The person who was sent out to buy came back and told me that he saw Mr. Xi, who is in charge of wine making in Leping, fishing on the lake, but he didn't use an ordinary fishing rod."
Hearing that the person mentioned was Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia immediately sat up straighter and asked, "What do you mean by an unusual fishing rod?"
The merchant gestured and said, "For ordinary fishing rods, the length of the rod determines where the line starts. If you want to fish in the middle of the river, you have to sail over there. But with a boat overhead, the fish often don't come. But the fishing rod used by Mr. Xi is very strange. My subordinate could only watch from a distance and couldn't see it clearly. He only knew that there was a reel on the fishing rod, and the line was thrown out until it fell to the surface of the water in the distance."
He was only about twenty years old, and he couldn't suppress his excitement when he said this. "If I could get this item and use it in a more suitable place, it would be a better deal than the mulberry leather coat."
Although Guo Jia was not a good fisherman, he could still understand some of the mysteries involved.
If it is true as he said, that the boat can catch big fish without going to the middle of the river, then if there is a related industry at home, it will indeed be a big business.
He asked curiously, "Sir, you told me this. Aren't you afraid that someone will get the deal before you?"
The businessman laughed out loud, "Young Master, you underestimate me. People all over the world come for profit. Marquis Qiao was able to promote the trade of mulberry fur clothes. In the past two years, she has also made some business out of yam planting. Since last year, she has allowed the people of Leping County to raise pigs according to the law and made a fortune again. It can be seen that she is not only talented in politics, but also quite successful in business. Such a person will definitely carefully select the trading partners and choose the best one from them."
"I am a descendant of the Mi family of the East Sea. Is there anyone more suitable than me to do the fishing rod business?"
With assets worth hundreds of millions, more than ten thousand servants and hangers-on, the family has been wealthy in Xuzhou for generations. This is the Mi family of Donghai!
Guo Jia had felt that the other party's demeanor was a bit unusual before, and now that he had received the explanation, he naturally knew the reason.
However, it was unexpected that the descendants of the Mi family did not bring too many servants with them, but came with the caravan in a small group.
After exchanging names with the other party and learning that his name was Mi Zhu, Guo Jia also asked this question.
Mi Zhu was being trained as the future head of the Mi family who would be in charge of the household expenses. He had an excellent vision and temperament. He told Guo Jia about his background frankly because he saw some scholarly demeanor on the young man's face. Now that he knew that he was indeed from Yingchuan, there was no need for him to hide these little things.
"Recently, there have been bandits in Hedong who have repeatedly invaded the border of Bingzhou. If it were an ordinary merchant caravan with little profit, it might be better. But if the flag of my Donghai Mi clan is raised, how many bandits do you think will come to attack?"
Seeing that Guo Jia seemed a little puzzled, Mi Zhu asked, "Are you wondering why the Hedong bandits didn't rob the small team, but instead hijacked the Great Shang?"
"Exactly. A plundering team carries the least risk and is a sure-fire profitable business. Why would you want to do something more dangerous?"
"Because every time they rob, they are taking risks." Mi Zhu waved to his attendant, and the attendant handed him a simple map. "Look at Fengxiao."
This map outlines a connected area of Bingzhou, Sili, and Liangzhou. There is no doubt that Hexi is located in the Yongliang area, while Hedong includes Hedong County, Pingyang County and the southwest of Bingzhou. If you take the Chenguan Pass while crossing the Taihang Mountains, you will definitely pass through Pingyang County and then enter Bingzhou.
This area was also marked on the map that Mi Zhu took out.
"At this time of year, the most feared thing for those doing business outside is these mountain bandits and robbers. Naturally, I have to keep an eye out for them. Since the end of spring this year, they have been trying to invade Bingzhou through the Fenshui River. But fortunately--"
"Even though they are all mountain bandits, they are still divided into different levels. The Marquis of Leping recruited the Black Mountain bandits and naturalized them. In name, they are still residents of Leping County, but in reality they should be called the Black Mountain Army. After the Hedong bandits invaded Bingzhou, the governor of Bingzhou and the prefects of Xihe, Taiyuan, and Pingyang agreed that the Black Mountain Army would assist in the defense of the border between Bingzhou and Sili."
"The leader of the Black Mountain Army, Chu Yan, and the Leping County Lieutenant Zhao Yun worked together as the chief and deputy commander. They knew the actions of the bandits very well, so once the Hedong bandits took action, they would be surrounded and suppressed. Therefore, they could only take a big gamble and make a profit."
Guo Jia touched his chin and fell into deep thought. This was indeed news that he could not know unless he came to Bingzhou.
As for why these Hedong bandits chose to attack the passing caravans and even the civilians in Bingzhou after being chased and intercepted like this...
Guo Jia was not one of those people who were fond of idle talk and came from a wealthy family, so he could naturally guess the reason.
Obviously, apart from this kind of looting, there is no other way for these people to survive.
His mind turned around, but he just replied in a relaxed tone: "In this case, Jia made the right decision."
Mi Zhu smiled. He really admired Guo Jia's composure even when he heard about an unexpected situation. He also wondered how credible the words of this Yingchuan scholar who went to Leping to seek refuge with his relatives were.
But obviously, these questions are not necessary to ask in today's conversation.
On the second day, the journey was the same as Qiao Yan's route to Bingzhou. Because they had to go to Jinyang to unload the goods first, they still took the route of Chenguanxing.
Before this, Guo Jia had at most traveled in the territory of Yanyu, and had only seen a glimpse of the customs and scenery of Bingzhou in Xi Zhicai's letters. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel a sense of novelty.
Mi Zhu was a dignified and graceful man with a lot of humor. He had traveled a lot before, so when he was talking with Guo Jia while riding side by side on horseback, he really had something to say, which made people feel that the journey was quite fun.
only--
The two of them seemed to have a little bad luck.
Not long after the caravan passed Linfen, it was already dusk and everyone prepared to dismount and set up camp.
Perhaps because the journey went smoothly during the day, everyone relaxed a little at this time.
Especially the attendants who were responsible for the safety of the caravan, after tying their horses under a tree, they gathered together and walked towards the stream to fetch water.
However, just when they had walked seventy or eighty steps out of the range of the cavalry and the people in the team were unloading the goods and preparing to set up the tent, they suddenly heard shouting and killing from the hillside, heading towards the direction where their group was.
Guo Jia looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a group of hundreds of bandits rushing down from the mountain path.
Because the surrounding area was a gentle slope, the group of people came very quickly and were about to pounce on them.
Guo Jia's forehead jumped.
With Mi Zhu's explanation to him before, he had no doubt when he saw the scene before him that the people coming were none other than those Hedong bandits!
And a quick glance between him and Mi Zhu was enough to show that his judgment was not wrong.
What good luck! Bandits from Hedong are attacking!
But in the face of such a crisis, there is really no need to ask why the situation that Mi Zhu mentioned, where the Hedong bandits often did not attack small caravans, would change. Protecting oneself is more important.
The leading bandit held a blood-stained ring-handled knife in his hand, and his ferocious face looked even more cruel and unusual in the twilight.
This was clearly not a group of bandits that they could persuade to save their lives!
If it is true as Mi Zhu said, that there is always a group of people behind them who are chasing and intercepting them, what they should do most at this moment is to kill people quickly and then take the goods away to ensure efficiency.
It was almost as he had guessed. When the leading bandits rushed down the mountain and were only a few steps away from the caravan on the side of the valley, he did not give the leader who tried to negotiate with them any chance to speak, and he stabbed him with a knife.
The poor team leader fell down directly, and was trampled over by the Hedong bandits who came down the mountain later.
"Hurry up!"
The leader glanced at this seemingly poor caravan, feeling somewhat disgusted, but he also knew that this was his best choice at the moment.
Today, another team among them was targeted by Chu Yan, and they had to play hide-and-seek with him in the mountains, but they have not been able to get rid of him yet.
Fortunately, it was heard that Zhao Yun had returned to Leping the day before yesterday, and Chu Yan was too busy to deal with other matters. He didn't need to worry about the size of the caravan coming to the valley today, as it would always be a good idea to swallow them up first.
However, not everyone in this team is ready to sit and wait for death.
For example, Mi Zhu, although he was moving with a small caravan, the attendants following him were all skilled fighters who were selected by him from among Mi's followers and were capable of fighting ten people at once.
Although Guo Jia was facing such a scene for the first time in his life, perhaps because he was naturally courageous, what he was thinking about at this moment was not how he could rely on Mi Zhu's followers to survive in this turmoil, but -
How could he delay the actions of these bandits?
His eyes were clear and his mind was racing. He knew that quickly untying the reins of the horse tied to the tree and riding away was definitely not the best solution.
Because those bandits obviously knew about this situation.
After they had killed the leader they went straight for the horses and cut the ropes that tied them.
Although they were bandits, there were indeed only a few who could not ride horses in the area near Bingzhou. The reason they did not ride horses was just to move freely. This did not prevent more than a dozen of them from jumping onto the horses and snatching the bows and arrows hanging on the sides of the horses.
This was exactly the weapon used by those who originally went to fetch water!
When Guo Jia saw this scene, he did not show any fear.
He noticed that among this group of bandits, only a few were equipped with bows, and the few who were on horseback and holding bows showed a bit of awkwardness in their actions. It was obvious that at best they were just holding sharp weapons to prevent anyone from escaping, and the bandits who were really responsible for the fight were those with knives.
But that doesn't mean they can't be aggressive.
The first one who tried to mount his horse and ride away was shot down by a volley of arrows.
He immediately grabbed the flint from the pouch on his waist, approached Mi Zhu and asked, "Does your lordship have anyone who is good at shooting?"
If we talk about being good at archery, Mi Zhu himself can be considered one. The short bow he carries with him is by his side at this time, and can also cause some damage.
But at this time when everyone was running to try to survive the knife, it would be fine if they held the knife in their hands. If they took out the bow, it would do no good except making themselves the number one target of the bandits.
Guo Jia saw Mi Zhu pointing at him, and he knew what was going on. He whispered, "Then I'll create an opportunity for you, and we'll try to shoot the leader."
It is unknown whether killing the leader can scare the others away, but at least the morale must be restored first.
This caravan is indeed not big, but it has about a hundred people. The other side seems to be worried that they can't fight for a long time, so there is a possibility of counterattack.
But to create an opportunity, you can only let the other party fall into chaos first, at least -
We can’t let them continue in this state of pursuing victory!
He really didn't have much available at hand, but luckily quality was more important than quantity, so it was enough!
For example, people cannot mount their horses and flee at this time, but can't they send a few horses that are still pulling empty carts to drive in the direction of the other party?
Guo Jia had a plan in mind, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart at this moment. It was really difficult for him to set a fire when he had nothing to do with physical strength.
But no matter how difficult it is, you have to do it.
Otherwise, if he lost his life in this place where he had not even officially entered Bingzhou, wouldn't Xi Zhicai be so laughing at him when the news reached Leping?
He picked up a few dead branches on the ground, preparing to use them as a sign for starting a fire. After Mi Zhu signaled two of the attendants to follow him, he immediately took advantage of the unloaded cargo boxes to run quickly in that direction.
However, just as he ignited the dead branch in his hand and was about to rush through the last section of the distance, he suddenly heard another round of horse hooves, which made him subconsciously stop what he was doing.
It was a real rhythmic sound of horse hooves.
Compared to the sound of an ordinary caravan's carriages and horses, it seemed more like the sound of an army marching at a fast pace.
Before the sound of hooves got close, a strong sound of breaking through the air came straight towards this place.
Amidst the shouting and fighting, it actually appeared extremely clear.
Guo Jia stuck his head out from behind the cargo box, and saw a strong white-feather arrow coming from the direction where the sound of wind and hoofbeats came from. The next moment, it accurately pierced the bandit leader's head, and suddenly went out from between his eyebrows.
This is a fatal arrow!
Its accuracy and lethality are also shocking.
The arrival of this arrow undoubtedly indicated the arrival of another force.
As this powerful and imminent announcement came, he immediately saw that the second white-feather arrow seemed to have struck again without any pause, taking the life of the second person in the same precise and powerful manner.
Good archery!
Horse riding and archery, there are only a few people nowadays who can be both good at horse riding and archery.
But these two arrows seemed to be shot with ease, and their penetrating power was so strong that it was enough to declare that the incoming cavalry was absolutely extraordinary!
Through the space left by the two men's fall, Guo Jia looked towards the north side of the stream valley.
As the sound of horse hooves approached, the person's appearance could be clearly seen.
The dim sunlight coming from the southwest enveloped this powerful force from the north in an unusually dazzling light and shadow, especially the leader.
It also allowed him to see at a glance that it was actually a girl who was no more than thirteen or fourteen years old!
The girl wore a black dress with arrow-shaped sleeves, narrow boots, her hair tied into a crown, and in her hand she held a longbow that was not light at all.
Judging from the way he drew his bow and arrow again while running and the characteristics of the white feather arrow on the bow, it was definitely the owner of the previous two arrows!
The unrestrained expression in her eyes and brows turned into a fixed and sharp look the moment the bowstring was pulled tight.
Then he stopped and shot the arrow!
The arrow knocked the bandit, who was about to chop at someone with a knife, to the ground.
Just these three arrows are enough to take away all the momentum!
Before the bandits could even fire arrows back, this fierce cavalry had already rushed to the front of the formation.
Guo Jia clearly saw that the girl in black hung the longbow on the side of the horse, and instead held two half-broken guns in her hands.
But as she raised her hand to throw it, the half caught by her other hand turned around and was put together to form a complete double-pointed spear.
The spear swept across, knocking down several arrows that were scattered towards her to the ground. Still carrying the sudden and wild aura, she maintained her penetrating momentum and pierced a bandit in front of her through.
The successive successes did not make her rein in her horse, but she could hear a clear sound amid the sound of horse hooves, echoing through the valley, with the same unstoppable momentum -
"Leping Qiao Yeshu is here, how dare the Hedong villain act so recklessly!"
