On the fourth day of the seventh month, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun took Qin Qin to leave the Zheng Family.

As for the servants of the Qin family and the shopkeepers of the Dachuan family, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun took Qin Qin to Baibao Village not just to run around, they just went home.

On the seventh day of the seventh month, just like the seventh day of each month before, Zheng Yong rode out of the Zheng Family Ji with four followers and headed towards the Wu Family in the southwest of the Zheng Family Ji.

Originally, there were only garrisons in the border town of Datong, but later there were prefectures and county governments. The garrisons and local governments were intertwined, which was quite complicated. Taking Datong Zuowei and Huairen County as examples, their respective jurisdictions were not completely connected, but they all had "enclaves" within the other side's scope. This Wu family is an enclave in Huairen County.

From Zheng Jiaji to Wu Jiawei, you have to travel through the hundreds of households in the Zuowei of Datong, and even go around the Jinping Mountain to reach it. Even if you ride a horse, you will have to spend a day and a half, and you have to spend a night on the road.

The distance for people to go to their own fields will not exceed five miles, and it is not worth it to be profitable. The same is true for a rich man like the Zheng family. If the land store is too far, it is troublesome to collect and control rents. It is better to concentrate on operating nearby areas. One thing is more important. After all, the Zheng family only has a patrol identity, and the fields and industries he can control are limited and cannot be too far. It is a bit unreasonable to ride a horse for a day and a half and have to cross the distant village under the jurisdiction of the garrison. There are also inconveniences.

The reason why the Zheng family has never let go of Wu family is because this big village of hundreds of families produces a medicinal scutellaria baicalensis. This traditional Chinese medicine commonly known as camellia root can stop serum invasion. In this way, the demand for effective traditional Chinese medicine in the border areas will be very high, whether in the border town of Datong or the grassland.

With this medicinal material, the Zheng family is equivalent to mastering the demand for similar salt products. The caravans heading south and north will also come to take a detour for this. In addition to purchasing Scutellaria baicalensis, they also led other businesses of the Zheng family and Zheng family.

Because this resource is so important, the Zheng family is very concerned about this place. Zheng Yong goes there once a month. Other Zheng family managers run more frequently. On the one hand, they urge production to clean up accounts, and on the other hand, they are also deterring forces from all parties, so that they should not stretch out their hands on this fat piece of meat.

It was a long distance and had to go around in circles. When people who had never left the house thought the journey was difficult and dangerous when they heard it. In fact, it was not the case. From the Zheng family to the Wu family, there were actually no hills and undulating hills. It was a flat mountain and a thoroughfare. It was very convenient everywhere.

Zheng Yong, who was riding on the horse, was very relaxed and talked and laughed with his four entourages. Since he started to come into contact with the family business, I don’t know how many times he ran this road. Because it was a flat road, there were no bandits blocking the road. At most, there were some thieves who took advantage of loopholes. Of course, such a small character did not dare to offend people riding horses and swords. He was just riding a horse and riding back. He could see the scenery along the way. He was also treated as a guest of honor in the Wu family. This trip was very easy for Zheng Yong, but it was a rare beauty for his four entourages.

The followers were diligent in flattering Zheng Yong. They all knew the importance and knew that their future in the Zheng family would depend on the Uncle Zheng in front of them. Fortunately, the Master of the Zheng family was very decent in his work and speaking, and he also took good care of the people below. Not only will it not be difficult for everyone to do in the future, but life will be better.

A follower noticed that Zheng Yong's eyes flashed occasionally and would go to see the women on the roadside and in the fields. These were all country women with big hands and feet, and they were not very good. The follower even said in private that there were song singers from the county town who stayed overnight and could call him to serve the master.

This considerate proposal was rejected by Zheng Yong, but he did not show any attitude. Instead, he said that if the brothers wanted to have fun, he could pay the money. The follower who proposed smiled and answered a few words, thinking that he had misunderstood Zheng Yong. It would be normal for a man to see a woman, but maybe just take a look.

They didn't walk fast, and they couldn't ride on this flat official road. For Zheng Yong and his five, they were not in a hurry to rush on the road anyway, and they were happy and relaxed.

"Master, the sun is about to set in half an hour." said a follower.

After hearing this, Zheng Yong was fine, but the others became excited. They had enough money on them. They could not only stay in a restaurant and eat meat and drink wine at night, but also find other fun.

By this time, pedestrians on the road were gradually scarce, and the farmers who lived nearby were all going home. Only those who were used to walking, such as Zheng Yong, were not very anxious.

The village where I was going to stay in the evening was already in sight. At this moment, most of the people on the road were heading there, and Zheng Yong and his followers were becoming more and more relaxed.

"Look there, you said that this man didn't even look for a tree to block it. He just stood in the field path. He was a few dozen steps away, so he could see the size of the words below clearly."

"If something pops up in the field suddenly, then bite it to him!"

A boring follower pointed to the roadside and said, while the other answered the words, and everyone was laughing. They had no etiquette to say, and such words were commonplace.

On the field path thirty or forty steps away from the official road, there was a man and a horse. People carried the common straw hats that were traveling in summer, which should be convenient there. This person was not as exposed as he said to his entourage. Standing behind the horse, the people on the official road could not see anything, and no one would go to see this.

Moreover, the man was standing in the backlight position. When people on the road looked over, they would be shook their eyes by the sunset, which made it even more difficult to see clearly.

Zheng Yong glanced over, but just smiled and didn't respond. At this moment, he heard someone whistle behind him.

Everyone was on the road for a day, and now they were tired and had no energy to talk and laugh. The road was quite quiet. The whistle was really abrupt and harsh. Zheng Yong and his followers subconsciously looked back and saw that the whistle should be not far behind them.

At the same time as the whistle sounded, there was a whistling that broke through the air. Zheng Yong and the two of them immediately reacted, and someone shot an arrow!

The distance was too close, and the arrow came too suddenly. They should have heard it when the bowstring sounded, but they had no idea at all, and they could not beware of it. This peaceful world, this Guanma Avenue, and this ordinary commonplace, the five of them were not easy to mess with, so why would someone shoot an arrow suddenly?

The other two followers didn't even react. Not everyone was able to hear that it was a bow and arrow breaking through the air.

More importantly, all of this was in a flash, and Zheng Yong and the others realized that it was too late!

"careful......"

As soon as this sentence came out, a follower fell behind and screamed. An arrow had already shot him. The arrow was shot into the position between his waist and back. There was a bone blocking it and it could not penetrate it. The injury was not fatal. However, this person would be a little inconvenient to move next and could not do too much movement.

The incident happened suddenly, and it was not until this time that other people on the road realized that some people shot arrows and some people were shot arrows!

Although watching the fun has been a tradition for thousands of years, life is important, and not being affected by the fish in the pond is also a ancestral teaching. After screaming, everyone scattered, and exposed the person who shot the archery.

This man was more than thirty steps away from Zheng Yong's five cavalry. He was wearing a brown rustic shirt, with a hood on his face, only his eyes, mouth and nose were exposed. A horse was standing beside him, and he was placing an arrow on his bow. The second arrow had been sterned.

"Roar over and chop him!" Zheng Yong reacted slowly and immediately drew his sword out of the sheath. The other two minions reacted almost the same as him, and they were all turning their mounts. One of them also used the bow to mount. At this moment, they knew that it would take time to turn their mounts, but they could not escape no matter how they could expose their backs to the enemy, and they could not dismount. Then they would shoot more arrows to the enemy and could only rush over. The man shot at most another arrow at this distance, not to mention that he could block them with his companions in front...

The two Zheng family entourages who were behind, including the one who was shot in the arrow, could only grit their teeth and draw their swords at this time, and they were ready to turn around to fight. They could run away now, but there was only one person on the other side, and the five cavalry could eat him no matter how they did!

Almost at the same time, a vague "buzzing" sounded on the side of the road, and then the arrows broke through the air. Zheng Yong and others were already extremely alert at this time. They looked over subconsciously, but the sunlight stabbed the eyes. But everyone also reacted, that was the person who was just teased.

A distance of more than thirty steps can be shot with one arrow, but the person behind only shot a non-fatal point. If the person on the roadside field shooting skills are the same, it will still...

As soon as this idea of ​​luck arose, a "puff" sound was heard beside him, and he heard a companion crying in pain again. The sound seemed to be blocked in his throat. Zheng Yong turned his head and found that the neck of a companion beside him had been shot through by an arrow. He was carrying the horse tiltedly. The man in the field was good at shooting!

"Move and run!" Zheng Yong had experienced the battle field and was surrounded by his serfs. He was still a little calm and able to react.

But when he was about to move, the other three saw their companions who were shot and were about to arrive at the overnight inn. When they were exhausted and wanted to rest, they walked for a day when they were bored and bored. The sudden interception and archery scared everyone. They were caught off guard before being injured, and the sudden shooting of their companions shocked them. The two behind them were already a little panicked and were at a loss at this time, let alone the person who was shot in the arrow was inconvenient to move.

Standing on the official road, the second arrow from the man behind Zheng Yong and the others had already shot. Zheng Yong and the others subconsciously bent down and lowered their heads, curled up as much as possible, wanting to lean against their companions and mounts to avoid them.
