As the New Year is approaching, Yang Fan stayed in Huayin to celebrate the New Year.

On this day, the children of the Wei family in Hedong came to visit, and the leader was Wei Ning and Wei Zhongdao.

In a garden in the Yang Mansion, a group of Yang family and Wei family were talking about the world and discussing the past and present. During this period, Wei Zhongdao said to Yang Fan: "Brother Yang, after the 15th day of the first lunar month, Cai Yilang's daughter founded a poetry meeting at home and invited talented people from all over the world to gather in Luoyang. This is a rare literary event, so Miss Cai's letter is sent to you." Wei Ning then took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Yang Fan.

After Yang Fan opened the letter, he scanned the contents of the letter and smiled bitterly. Cai Yan was still thinking about the fact that he broke the appointment last year, and said that he would not come, so he would make Yang Fan look good.

Anyway, he had to go to Luoyang when he returned to Shuofang, so Yang Fan agreed on the spot.

When Wei Zhongdao saw Yang Fan agreeing, he smiled and said, "Brother Yang, I have nothing to do when I am free, so why don't I go to hunt in winter? Can I enjoy the glory?"

After hearing this, Yang Xiu smiled happily and said, "Okay, okay, winter hunting is good, winter hunting is good."

The rest of the people turned to look at Yang Fan waiting for his reply. Seeing Yang Xiu so excited, Yang Fan smiled and said, "So, go!"

Seeing Yang Fan agreeing, everyone immediately got up and went to prepare. Wei Zhongdao was also among them. His excited eyes made Yang Fan a little strange, but he didn't take it to heart.

Huayin travels southeast to dozens of miles, and there is a world-class pass called Tongguan. The mountains west of Tongguan are continuous, called Taihua Mountain. This Taihua Mountain is the destination of Yang Fan and others for this winter hunt.

Taihua Mountain is steep and extremely steep, stretching for dozens of miles. There are rare birds and beasts that appear from time to time, so it is naturally a good place for winter hunting.

At noon, Yang Fan and his group of hundreds of people came to the foot of Taihua Mountain. They saw a river about several meters wide flowing from west to south from Taihua Mountain, just blocking the way to west. From east to west to Chang'an, they could only walk on the main road of Tongguan. The terrain was complicated. Yang Fan pointed at the river and asked, "Where is this river going?"

Wei Zhongdao replied: "This river is called Yinshui River. The widest part is fourteen meters, and the narrowest part is seven meters. The water is more than three meters deep. It flows from west to east to south of Jingzhou."

When Yang Fan heard this, he said, "What a natural barrier, coupled with the danger of Taihua Mountain and the hardness of Tongguan, it only takes more than ten thousand people to resist the mighty army in Guanzhong. No wonder Dong Zhuo blocked the attacks of the princes of Guandong in history with Tongguan. Although there are some of the princes who did not want to enter again and were busy dividing spoils on the spot in Luoyang, it is enough to show that the danger of this pass is rare in the world."

Seeing Yang Fan sighing, Wei Zhongdao said, "Brother Yang, it's getting late, why don't we start now?"

Yang Fan smiled and said, "Zhongdao is a guest, so Zhongdao will set a rule for this winter hunt!"

Wei Zhongdao said modestly: "When you enter the countryside, follow the customs, and the guest will follow the host's will. How dare you interfere with the affairs? Brother Yang should set the rules!"

When Yang Fan heard this, he said, "There are no rules. No matter whether it is to get traps, archery, etc., as long as you can hunt, even if you have the ability, what about it?"

Wei Zhongdao was overjoyed when he heard this and nodded in agreement.

Yang Fan said, "Then we all rely on our abilities. See you at Tongguan at the time of Xu, so let's go."

Yang Fan then took Dian Wei, Xu Chu and several guards into the mountains, while the rest of the guards were sent by Yang Fan to protect the safety of the children of the family.

Looking at Yang Fan's back as he was leaving, Wei Zhongdao immediately showed a sneer, and then he also brought his people into the mountains.

Taihua Mountain is really steep and the mountain road is steep and difficult to walk. Yang Fan and others walked for a few miles, and everyone's mounts were exhausted. After seeing this, they immediately ordered three guards to stay in place to guard the mounts, while he himself took Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Yang Xiu and the three guards to continue to go deeper.

Yang Xiu had Yang Fan's guards on the way, either carrying them or holding them. Therefore, the kid was still energetic at this time. He looked around and looked like a curious baby.

Dian Wei said at this time: "Lord, we have been going deeper for more than ten miles."

Yang Fan stopped and saw that the forests around him were deep and dense. Even at noon, the sun was difficult to shine in. The climate was very cool. At this time, a deer jumped past Yang Fan and others.

Seeing this, Yang Xiu immediately pointed at the elk and shouted happily: "Brother, brother, there are deer, there are deer."

Yang Fan quickly bent his bow and arrow to shoot at the elk, but Yang Fan's archery skills were really not very good, and he saw that the arrow feather flew to where it flew.

Yang Xiu was stunned, then laughed and said, "Brother's archery skills are really superb. I don't know where to fly."

Yang Fan's face was dry, and he shouted to Dian Wei: "Come on evil, go." When talking about hunting in the forest, Dian Wei was the only one under Yang Fan's men. He was moved when he heard this, and his huge body jumped flexibly in the forest, chasing the elk.

At this time, a mountain leopard came from unknown places. Seeing this, Xu Chu hurriedly stepped forward to capture it, but the mountain leopard was agile, but Xu Chu was not as good as Dian Wei's forest. He was embarrassed in a few seconds. Then Xu Chu got angry and punched the fist randomly. He actually punched the mountain leopard. The mountain leopard then wailed and fled to the distance.

After seeing this, Xu Chu hurriedly chased after him.

For some reason, Yang Fan's heart suddenly became tight. He quickly looked around and saw several cold arrows flying in. The light in the forest was dim, and Yang Fan's martial arts were mediocre. He was immediately shot into the arm with an arrow.

"Master!"

Seeing this, the guard gate quickly drew out the battle knife and stepped forward to protect Yang Fan.

Yang Xiu also asked with concern: "Brother, you are injured and you are bleeding."

Yang Fan's left arm was shot through with an arrow, and the arrow feather was still stuck in his arm. Seeing Yang Xiu panic, Yang Fan quickly spoke out and comforted: "Brother Xiu, don't worry, you're fine for me."

After a guard checked the arrow feathers, his face suddenly changed drastically and he hurriedly said, "Lord, there is poison on the arrow."

Yang Fan's head was also drowsy at this time, and he could only vaguely hear the sound of the guards.

When the guard saw Yang Fan fainted, he was shocked. He then took out a ginseng pill and took it to Yang Fan. After taking the ginseng pill, Yang Fan's pale face improved. At this time, Dian Wei and Xu Chu didn't know where they were. The guard quickly carried Yang Fan and said anxiously to his colleagues beside him: "There is an ambush, and the signal is that the lord is poisoned. Let's go out quickly."

The other two knew that the matter was urgent, one was carrying Yang Xiu on his back and the other was drawing a knife in his hand, protecting Yang Fan.

At this time, dozens of men in black suddenly emerged from the depths of the forest. The group of people didn't say anything, and rushed towards Yang Fan with a knife.

A guard hurriedly said, "I'll stop them, you can go." The guard's eyes were sharp, and he did not change his color when facing dozens of people alone.

The personal bodyguards who can become Yang Fan are all fighting masters and fierce soldiers on the battlefield. The guard saw that he cut several people over while his sword was falling, and his movements were smooth and he hit the vital points.

The group of men in black, led by one person quickly said, "Leave ten people to deal with him, and the rest will follow me to chase him."

The guard who continued running in the forest saw the man in black behind him getting closer and closer. The guard with Yang Xiu on his back quickly put Yang Xiu down and said to the other person: "I'll stop them, you can leave with your lord on your back."

The guard with Yang Fan on his back suddenly burst into tears in his eyes and said, "Brother, you have to be careful."

It turned out that these two were brothers, and the brother urged anxiously, "Go away quickly, otherwise it would be too late." After saying that, the brother held the knife and greeted the man in black.

The ability of Yang Fan's guards was seen by this group of men in black just now. At this time, they saw another person blocking the road. More than ten people suddenly appeared in the crowd of men in black to fight with him. The remaining thirty people walked around from both sides and continued to pursue Yang Fan.

"What happened?" At this time, the three guards who were in charge of guarding the war horses had already arrived beside Yang Fan. Seeing that Yang Fan was pale and fainted, one of them asked urgently.

The only guard left carefully switched Yang Fan to another person's back and replied: "Commander Dian, Commander Xu went to chase the wild animals, and then we were ambushed. The lord was injured by a hidden arrow and was poisoned."

"What?"

The three of them were shocked when they heard this.

At this time, the group of men in black also came to the front and surrounded the four of them. After the four of them looked at each other, one of them took off his clothes and tied Yang Fan tightly to himself, holding Yang Xiu in one hand and holding a sword in the other.
