The shouts of killing were getting closer and closer. I turned a mountain road and a mess appeared in front of me.

The two gangs were fighting, one left and the other right were clearly divided.

There are many people on the left, but they are ragged, wearing straw hats, and holding wooden sticks and iron forks. They are more like beggars than bandits.

The right side was much more neat, with more than twenty people protecting the convoy and fighting with the bandits. They should be the caravan guards.

In terms of combat effectiveness, caravan guards are naturally stronger, but you can't stop the number of bandits, hundreds of people are fighting around and smashing them, and no matter how good your skills are, it won't work.

The guard fell down a little, and the rest retreated to the carriage and barely resisted.

The leader of the bandit was a man with a numb face, wearing a coarse cloth, a naked chest, and holding a mace in his hand, constantly driving his brothers to attack.

The arrival of Xu Yan and the others broke the situation in front of them. Both sides noticed them. The bandit leader's face changed slightly, while the caravan guards looked surprised. One of the middle-aged men used an iron rod and waved the majestic way, and one of them withstood the attack of three or four people.

He shouted to Xu Yan: "He Lei, the chief escort leader of the Weiwu Escort Agency, passed by here and encountered bandits ambushing him. I hope that several brothers will help you. I will thank you very much afterwards!"

The short and fat businessman hid behind him, his face pale, and shouted at the top of his voice: "There must be a thank you very much... Thank you very much!"

Xu Yan did not answer, but looked at the caravan's cargo, with more than a dozen cars, mostly porcelain and silk.

In fact, it is still a matter of whether to help or not. The experience in the past six months has more or less changed his personality, and he has become indifferent to the killing that has nothing to do with his own body.

The leader of the bandit was afraid of his bad things, so he wanted to take action first, so he directly ordered a group of bandits to rush towards them.

Accompanied by the messy shouts, a group of people rushed over. Xu Yan's expression remained unchanged. He pointed to the bandit leader in the distance and said to Hu Zi who was eager to try, "Capture the king first!"

Hu Zi grinned and showed two rows of white teeth: "Okay!"

He slowly pulled out the long sword, he held the reins tightly, and shouted suddenly: "Kill!"

The war horses ran forward, followed by several cavalry behind them, forming a charge formation in an instant, and crashed into the crowd like a whirlwind. The bandits were frightened and wanted to hide, but it was too late.

First, a bandit hit the rushing war horse head-on, and his body flew backwards, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of the air, and countless bones were broken.

The rest turned around and wanted to escape, but saw the light of swords passing by and blood sprayed. The knight immediately reaped his lives.

After colliding with the crowd, Hu Zi led the cavalry to speed and rushed straight towards the bandit leader, just like a divine weapon descending from the sky, reaching hundreds of meters in an instant.

"ah……"

The bandit leader was frightened and swung his mace hard. The tiger jumped into the horse and lifted his sword, and slashed heavily on it with force.

With a "bang" sound, Hu Zi was even stronger, and he directly slashed the mace away, and then cut off the head of the bandit leader with a backhand.

The battle ended so suddenly, and the remaining bandits widened their eyes and looked astonished, but then a chill came out of their hearts. Looking at the rolling head, they couldn't help but shivered.

Fear began to spread. Before Hu Zi could say anything, the bandits scattered and fled around.

They were originally a group of mobs. Hu Zi did not chase him and rode his horse back slowly to Xu Yan. More than ten riders were not damaged at all.

He Lei looked at them, was secretly frightened, and stepped forward and bowed, "Thank you for your help, I don't know what to call me?"

Xu Yan clasped his fists and returned with a greeting: "I am in the lower house of Xu, and I am affiliated with the border army!"

"No wonder!"

He Lei said intimately that only the strong soldiers in the army have such a killing momentum.

The short and fat businessman also came to thank him and presented a bag of silver: "This military master, thank you little, I don't respect you!"

Xu Yan was confused and nodded and accepted.

When Cao Jiang came from behind, Xu Yan said goodbye to them and continued on his way.

After that, the caravan followed them all the time, vaguely seeking asylum. Once, he set up a camp at night and He Lei even brought wine and food, but was rejected by Xu Yan and he did not disturb him again.

For Xu Yan, this is just a small episode and I don’t care.

A few days later, the team officially entered Guanzhong.

****

Chang'an is the residence of the emperor, magnificent.

The tall and heavy city walls stand between the sky and the earth, and the surface of the bluestone is covered with traces of wind and rain, full of history.

As the capital of the Jin Dynasty, there were more than 600,000 people living there. Not only Han people entering and leaving the city gate every day, but also many blonde and blue-eyed Hu people. Most of them came from Goryeo, Baekje and other places, with most merchants, but there were also envoys and monks.

As a city gate official, Li Laosan is a veteran!

Since he took over his father's position at the age of fifteen and was assigned to the North City Gate, he has been working for thirty years, and has gradually changed from Li Xiaosan to Li Laosan. Not only are the wrinkles on his face, but also the eyes that have seen the world.

He had seen too many people, from princes and nobles, court ministers, to gangsters, prisoners and beggars, each with their own expressions and postures.

He likes to think about these things when he has nothing to do on weekdays. It is no exaggeration to say that if someone walks in front of him, he can guess 60% or 70% by looking at him.

This ability also made him successfully and successfully for more than 30 years and never made any mistakes!

Although the city gate official is just a sesame-sized official, there are many tricks inside. Not to mention anything else, just checking your identity can easily offend people.

According to the rules, all people entering and leaving Chang'an City must be checked, but the daily traffic is so large, where can I check it?

Moreover, there are many officials in the city, and they can pick up one of them, which is the fourth or fifth rank. How dare you stop a city gate official who doesn’t even have a rank?

They just bully ordinary people...

In addition, tax collection, inspection, etc., all of them have to find the right person. If you provoke someone you shouldn't provoke, especially those arrogant and domineering young men from aristocratic families, a whip is light, and even your life may be lost if you are unlucky.

So, the look is very important!

Li Laosan was sitting by the city wall with a wooden bench. The spring sunshine shone slanted down, and a hint of warmth appeared on his body.

He yawned his head up.

In two years, he reached the age of retirement. He gave money to Shangguan and had already decided that his position would be replaced by his eldest son, so he would just enjoy the blessings in the future!

When he thought of this, he felt relaxed all over. Just as he was about to take a look, he saw smoke and dust rolling in the distance, and a group of knights guarding a carriage and slowly heading towards the city gate.

All the Hun horses were tall and strong, with wide chests and long mane, and thick wrists. They were said to be able to break the head of the lonely wolf if they were ruthless.

Such horses are very rare even in Chang'an City. Only those aristocratic families can collect them, and they often don't change their wealth.

Although the knight on the horse was not pierced by armor, he sat steadily on the horse, showing his superb riding skills.

Such a group of people were full of dust, but they were very strict, and their cold faces were filled with murderous aura.

Li Laosan's heart sank and immediately stood up.

Coming from the north, it was a long journey, plus these horses... Could it be the border army?

These people are not easy to mess with. They are all fierce people who kill without blinking, but they cannot ignore them.
