Chapter 5 Drawing a knife to help

On the road to Yecheng, Guo Jia and Xu Shu rode their horses together, and all the family matters were handed over to Xi Zhicai and Zuo Ci. This made the Guo family very relieved. Xi Zhicai was outstanding in his talent and did things without any leakage. Zuo Ci's martial arts skills were rare in the world. Guo Jia was at home with a literary and military force.

Seeing that Yecheng had already entered his eyes, Guo Jia grabbed the reins and frowned and watched the road ahead. Xu Shu had discovered the situation ahead. A group of bandits were besieging the gorgeous carriage of the three chariots. Many corpses had fallen down on the roadside, and blood was sprinkled on the ground.

"Yuan Zhi, I have heard of your name as a hero. Today I happened to encounter a thief and robbery. Why not ask me to see how good your martial arts are?" Guo Jia said as he pulled out his sword from his waist, obviously he was going to fight in person.

Xu Shu laughed and bowed his hands and said with ease: "Fengxiao, I'm not as good as you in literature, but I will beat you more than this martial arts! Just a mere thief, I'll kill you for a moment."

After saying that, Xu Shu drew his sword and rode his horse, rushed away, and Guo Jia followed closely behind.

There were about fifty bandits in the group of bandits, wearing cloth clothes, and their weapons were also broken. The besieged carriages were large and powerful. There were less than ten guards guarding the carriages, but they were evenly matched. This shows that these bandits were not in a state of chaos.

Xu Shu and Guo Jia rode a horse into the bandits, and unexpectedly killed them to establish their power.

Bang bang

Blood splattered in the air, and the heads fell in the air.

Guo Jia raised his sword and said sternly: "The army in Yecheng is about to arrive, but you will be surrendered if you don't want to stop!"

The bandits were first shocked by the power of Guo Jia and Xu Shu killing the four people in the blink of an eye. When they heard that the officers and soldiers of Yecheng were coming, they were so scared that they were deserted and fled around.

Guo Jia and Xu Shu turned over and dismounted, looked at the scene around him, and found that most of the dead were young men wearing servant costumes. They thought they should be servants in the home of the owner of these gorgeous carriages.

"I am not as good as filial piety and wisdom." Xu Shu showed shame. The experience of a young ranger made him want to fight just now, but when Guo Jia said, he made half a hundred bandits flee in panic. Such skills are far more than a hundred times higher than murder by force.

Guo Jia smiled but said nothing, but saw the young master who had just protected the carriage in the middle and directed the guards to defend the enemy coming to him. The young master saw the young master's robe and gorgeous clothes, with a very handsome appearance. Although he was slightly injured, he looked calm. He bowed to Guo Jia and Xu Shu solemnly, and then raised his head and said gratefully: "Thank you for your two brothers' grace for saving your life. I'm here to Zhen Yu, why don't you ask for your two brothers' questions?"

"Yingchuan Guo Jia."

"Xu Shu."

Guo Jia and Xu Shu bowed their favor, and afterwards, Guo Jia seemed to remember something and asked, "Zhen Yu? Could it be that Brother Tai is from the Zhen family in Wuji, Zhongshan?"

Zhen Yu was not surprised that the Zhen family was a well-known family in Hebei, so he replied modestly: "That's it."

Guo Jia knew that the Zhen family was nothing more than two reasons. One was that the Zhen family had a queen, the God of Luo, Zhen Mi. The other was that the Zhen family was a wealthy man in Hebei.

But then I thought that the God of Luo River is probably still in my mother's womb. Faced with the upcoming troubled times, the Zhen family must surrender to a prince, otherwise Zhen Mi would not marry into the Yuan family and become Yuan Shao's daughter-in-law. So Guo Jia is not in the mood to talk about everything and earth with Zhen Yu.

So Guo Jia immediately said, "Yecheng is near, brother Tai can enter the city to take refuge as soon as possible. Besides, brother Tai has suffered a lot of casualties this time, and there must be many things to deal with. Let's leave here. The future is long. If you are destined to be together, you will definitely visit us."

Xu Shu knew that they were coming for Zhang Jiao, so he understood Guo Jia's behavior, so he clasped his fists at Zhen Yu, turned over and planned to rush to Yecheng with Guo Jia.

But Zhen Yu stood in front of the two men and said sincerely: "My brothers have a life-saving grace for me. If I leave like this, wouldn't I, Zhen Yu, become a villain who has no gratitude? If you don't dislike me, when I am rectifying my family affairs, we will go to the city to talk to you so that I can thank you."

Guo Jia was not grateful and shook his head and said, "I saw the injustice on the road and drew my sword to help me. We are not a mercy to repay you. Today, I have the fate to relieve my brother's difficulties. I don't have to take it seriously. I still have important things to do, so I can't stay for a long time. I will leave you here and there will be a date later."

Zhen Yu had no choice but to let go of the road. Looking at the departure of Guo Jia and Xu Shu, he sighed with regret.

Judging from the scene where Guo Jia and Xu Shu rode a horse, these two people are very good at martial arts, and with Guo Jia's talent to defraud the bandits with just one word, this person is brave and resourceful. It is a pity that such a young hero has lost the opportunity to make friends.

"Brother, didn't the hero just now say that the army of Yecheng Sect is coming soon? Why is there no shadow yet?" A young girl with a pale face walked out of the carriage. She had a dignified and beautiful appearance and was wearing a colorful silk dress, which was enough to amazed the world.

Zhen Yu shook his head and walked to Zhen Jiang with a wry smile and explained: "Big sister, have you ever seen those two young heroes come from?"

"South." Zhen Jiang blurted out, then was stunned, a hint of sorrow appeared on his pale jade face, and then said: "Yecheng is on the north side, is it, is it..."

"Yes, when they were heading towards Yecheng, how could they learn that there were large troops in Yecheng going out to suppress bandits? Then Guo Jia was scaring bandits." Zhen Yu looked at the two young men who left in the world, and felt even more regretful.

"He is so smart." The flower girl Zhen Jiang immediately showed an admiration, but when she saw the dead body beside the road, she lost her appearance and retreated back to the car.

Guo Jia and Xu Shu, who were about to enter Yecheng, got off the horse and walked. Wherever they passed, they saw refugees gathering in groups outside the city, begging for help from passers-by. The scene was really uncovered and the food was not enough to fill their stomachs, which was moving.

"I think the son of the Zhen family wants to make friends with you, why did you leave in a hurry? Although you and I are visiting Zhang Jiao for what he is doing, it is not very urgent." Xu Shu asked his doubts. In his opinion, he was not a bad person, and it was unreasonable to reject him for thousands of miles. Besides, the son of the Zhen family is polite and modest, which is much better than the exaggerated young masters who have seen in the past who seek fame and reputation.

Guo Jia took out the copper coins from his body and handed them to the guard outside the city gate. He entered the city with Xu Shu, and explained as he walked: "I'm afraid the Zhen family is interested in recruiting him. Instead of saying no to him at that time, it's better to stay away from right and wrong."

The two of them walked on the street, looking for the inn to stay, but suddenly they saw a girl selling herself to bury her father by the side of the road.

The girl wearing mourning clothes knelt on the side of the road, lying flat in front of her, a body covered by a straw mat. Although the thin girl was thin, she looked a bit pretty from her face. There were many onlookers gathered around her and there were many discussions.

The crowd was separated by people. A luxuriously dressed young man came to the kneeling girl, looked up and down, and looked greedy on his face, and immediately said, "You go home with me, and you will be my Wang family maid from now on."

Suddenly, two slaves rushed out from behind the young master, stepped over the straw mat that covered the body and was about to pull up the girl in mourning clothes.

But the girl shrank and hid, and said wailingly: "Thank you, my son, for your kindness. I would like to ask my servant to bury my father a hundred dollars. After my father is buried, I will serve you with all my heart."

"Hmph, I don't know what's wrong. Let's go home with me. Your father's funeral will be taken care of, so don't be rude." The prince, the prince, looked impatient and waved his hand to signal the servant to go up and plan to use force to pull the girl back home.

The people around them all took a few steps back to make way, with different expressions, regret, hatred, anger, etc.

This Wang family is a big family in Yecheng. They are used to being domineering in daily life. The people dare to be angry but not speak out, for fear of causing trouble.

Clam

With a sound of the sword unsheathed, everyone saw silver light flashing in front of them, and a young man crossed the sword across the neck of the Wang family's young master.

When Xu Shu saw this Wang family's son so domineering, he became angry and took the Wang family's son hostage.

Guo Jia and Xu Shu saw the matter clearly from beginning to end, and Wang's face was well aware that if they really invested in the girl to bury her father to handle the funeral, then it would be natural for a girl to join the Wang family to be a slave and a maid. But the Wang family's son probably wanted to rob the girl if he couldn't pay any money. Xu Shu wanted to stand up for the injustice, and Guo Jia also hated bullying the weak. Of course, he had to take care of this injustice.

The master was held hostage, so the two slaves naturally did not dare to act rashly, so they retreated and looked at Xu Shu in a hurry through three steps. The prince of the Wang family pretended to be calm and calm, and looked at Xu Shu with a trembling voice: "Who are you? Don't you know that I am the third prince of the Wang family in Yecheng? If you hurt me, you will die without a place to bury you."

Xu Shu snorted coldly with a harsh face, turned to Guo Jia and asked respectfully: "Young Master, how do you deal with this person?"

Guo Jia smiled in his heart, but his face was calm and he understood and said, "Today I will give the Wang family in Yecheng a face and let him go."

Xu Shu got the order and put his sword back and returned it to the sheath. He took a few steps back and walked behind Guo Jia, his face always being cold as frost.

At this moment, the Wang family's son was frightened and looked at Guo Jia and Xu Shu.

The two of them are not as luxurious as they are talented, they are handsome, with sword hanging on their waists and scarfs on their heads. They are slim in temperament and are definitely a model of heroes and boys.

What are the identities of these two people? The young master of the Wang family was surprised and asked carefully: "I wonder if the two brothers are named Taizun?"

"Rareless! How can you ask about my young master's name? Get out while my young master hasn't changed his mind yet." Xu Shu shouted coldly, and glanced at the Wang family's young master with cold eyes.

At this moment, Zhen Yu brought his carriage and horses into Yecheng. He passed by here and saw the present from Xu Shu drawing his sword. At this moment, Zhen Yu walked forward, bowed to Guo Jia and said, "I wonder why brother is here?"

Guo Jia was quite surprised by Zhen Yu's appearance, but when he saw the smile in Zhen Yu's eyes, he knew that the other party realized that he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. Since he had not said it out loud, he wanted to help him, so he just pretended to be the end and said lightly: "When encountering unfair things on the road, let's teach those rampant wealthy families a lesson."

"You!" The young master of the Wang family was furious when he heard Guo Jia's tone. But after seeing Zhen Yu, he suppressed him. Then he thought: The eldest young master of the Zhen family is extremely respectful to this young man. I'm afraid that this young man is quite good, so it's better to be troubled less.

Zhen Yu and the Wang family were old acquaintances, but they did not interact frequently and were just ordinary friends. Now he came to the Wang family’s son and whispered: “Brother Wang, please leave earlier.”

The Wang family’s son was even more frightened: Could it be that this person is even quite afraid of the Zhen family?

Unable to contain his curiosity, the young master of the Wang family asked in a low voice: "Who is this boy?"

Zhen Yu just shook his head and said nothing. The Wang family's son was so scared that he was scattered. He understood Zhen Yu's intention of shaking his head. For Zhen Yu, he was warning him that the Wang family could not afford to offend him.

After accusing him of guilt, the prince of the Wang family led his slaves to leave in a hurry.

When the Wang family's son disappeared, Zhen Yu, Guo Jia and Xu Shu looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"Thank you, brother Tai. Jia has something to ask for help. This girl sells herself to bury her father. She has a filial piety. If it is convenient for brother Tai, please help her to fulfill her filial piety."

Guo Jia gave a gift to Zhen Yu. After Zhen Yu hurriedly replied, he asked his servant to withdraw money to the girl without saying a word, and then said to Guo Jia: "Brother Tai said he would meet again if he was destined to be together. Now you and I will meet in Yecheng. Yu asked Brother Tai to come to my mansion to talk to him. I hope Brother Tai will not refuse."
