I am in Water Margin, I, Ximen Qing, stir-fry Pan Jinlian

Qizhou is located in a strategic location, bordering the turbulent Yellow River to the north, the majestic Mount Tai to the south, Qingzhou and the vast land extending to the Denglai Peninsula to the east, and the Gaotang Prefecture and Dongchang Prefecture in Hebei to the west.

As an important channel connecting Hebei and Shandong, its state government is located in Licheng, which not only has the world-famous Baotu Spring, but also the source of the ancient Luo River.

There is also Thousand Buddha Mountain to the south of Licheng. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, many places of interest have been left, such as Xingguo Zen Temple, Fohui Temple, etc.

Ximen Qing, Jiao Ting and Shi Yong set off from Zengtou City, Lingzhou, passed through Yucheng County, and finally arrived at the prosperous Licheng.

They wandered the streets, hotels, teahouses, and even tile houses of Licheng for two whole days, hoping to meet heroes with special skills.

However, two days passed and they failed to meet a hero who was truly worth befriending.

Ximen Qing sighed secretly in his heart that such a large state capital did not find any useful talent. Could it be that the lucky general Lu Xiaoyi is missing to help?

He had no choice but to lead Jiao Ting, Shi Yong and their followers to leave Licheng and ride to Changqing County in Qizhou. Once you pass through Changqing County, you can reach Pingyin County in Yunzhou, and then travel southwest to return to Yanggu County.

The group of people marched outside the city for about an hour, turned around a winding mountain road, and saw two peaks confronting each other. The ancient trees were towering, and the sunlight was difficult to penetrate, presenting a picture of a peaceful valley.

It happened that the road was passing through this quiet valley. Considering that the road in the valley must be rugged and difficult, Ximen Qing decided to dismount and rest for a while, allowing the horses to graze on the roadside and regain their strength.

Ximen Qing, Jiao Ting and Shi Yong were sitting on mats under a pine tree by the roadside.

The servants around were either busy making fires to make tea, or unbuckling the horses and leading them to the grassland for grazing. The scene was quite lively.

The three of them chatted casually, enjoying this rare leisure. Unexpectedly, a gust of wind suddenly blew from the other side of the valley. Shi Yong's ears twitched slightly and he immediately made a gesture to Ximen Qing and Jiao Ting.

Two brothers, there seems to be a sound in the valley! Shi Yong immediately stood up and fixed his gaze on the entrance of the valley. Ximen Qing and Jiao Ting also stood up immediately.

At this moment, a man suddenly ran out on horseback at the entrance of the valley.

Ximen Qing, Jiao Ting and Shi Yong saw a shadow passing by and rushed in front of them in an instant. careful! Ximen Qing hugged Shi Yong and jumped to the right, skillfully avoiding the galloping horses.

What a courage! Jiao Ting was so angry that he turned sideways to avoid the horse's head. He held the horse's rein tightly with one hand and tried to catch the rider with the other hand.

The horse was suddenly hindered by Ximen Qing and the others, and the reins were tightly pulled by Jiao Ting. It immediately let out a long roar, raised its front hooves high, kicked wildly, and threw the man on the horse to the grass.

Upon seeing this, Jiao Ting immediately let go of the reins in his hands and let the frightened horse run around. He turned around and rushed towards the fallen man, preparing to teach him a lesson.

Please wait a moment, this person is seriously injured! Ximen Qing's voice rang in Jiao Ting's ears.

Everyone, help... The man lying on the ground stretched out his right hand to Ximen Qing and the others, as if he wanted to say something, but suddenly, his eyes lost their luster and he took his last breath.

Shi Yong knelt down, felt the man's breath, then shook his head at Ximen Qing and said: Brother, this man can no longer be saved.

Ximen Qing looked at the man on the ground and saw several bleeding wounds on his body, which were obviously injured by swords.

He might have tried his best to escape on horseback. There must be some secret in this valley!

Brother Jiao Ting, go ahead and check the specific situation first! Remember not to be careless. Ximen Qing ordered Jiao Ting.

When Jiao Ting saw this situation, he knew something was wrong. He took off a plain knife from his horse, grasped the long handle, and cautiously approached the mouth of the valley.

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

Ximen Qing took the badge and took a closer look. He saw the word"Xin" written on the badge. He asked everyone: This person may be a servant of a wealthy family. Does anyone know if there is a wealthy family named Xin near Licheng?

A servant replied: Back to the official, I have been asking around for news for the official these days, and I know that there is Xinjiazhuang in the south of the city, and the owners there are officials and officials. This person may be from Xinjiazhuang.

Since you know Xinjiazhuang, take this belt and ride to Xinjiazhuang immediately to report the situation. Ximen Qing said to the servant.

Brother, be careful, there is a group of thieves ahead! Jiao Ting ran back with a Pu knife.

After Ximen Qing heard this, he asked the servant to ride away quickly. He also took a simple knife from his horse and stood on the roadside, preparing to fight the thieves.

Shi Yong and several other Zhuang Hakka servants also raised their weapons and stood beside Ximen Qing, guarding him carefully.

At this moment, more than twenty aggressive bandits and robbers suddenly rushed out of the valley entrance. They were armed with various swords, guns and sticks.

"Who dares to block our way, little brat? Look at this kid, he's well-dressed. Could it be that he has fallen into a trap? All the sons, please capture him!"A bandit leader's eyes flashed fiercely, and he waved his sword with a sound like thunder.

"Go! Grab it!"More than twenty bandits swarmed up with noisy

"Huh, how dare you underestimate me? Let you taste my power!"Shi Yong strode forward head-on.

"Come on, chop one off! Thieves, come and die!"Jiao Ting also waved his sword and started a fierce battle with the bandits.

Ximen Qing held a simple sword in his hand and watched with several servants, but did not take action himself.

In his opinion, with Liangshanbo heroes Shi Yong and Jiao Ting, There is no need to do it yourself to deal with these unknown people. These bandits are just here to die, just for Shi Yong and Jiao Ting to accumulate experience. As

Ximen Qing expected, Shi Yong and Jiao Ting were like hungry wolves entering the flock of sheep, and they immediately started killing.

The simple knives in the hands of the two men flew, and more than a dozen bandits fell down in an instant.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the bandit leader roared, turned around and fled. The remaining bandits also shouted and followed him towards the mouth of the valley.

"The thief can't escape!"Jiao Ting chopped down a bandit with a knife, and chased after him with a loud shout.

Shi Yong, who had newly joined Ximen Qing, naturally wanted to show off, and was not to be outdone, and followed Jiao Ting closely.

Ximen Qing ordered his servants to stay where they were and check carefully. For the bandits on the ground, those who were still alive were stabbed with a knife to ensure that no one was missed.

After the arrangements were made, Ximen Qing himself followed Jiao Ting and Shi Yong into the valley entrance with a knife in hand.
