Chapter 21: Causing a huge disaster (Part 1)

Xinghua Army, is it the army where the owner of the iron snowflake sword is located? Zhao Xing glanced at the child, signaled with a thumbs up, pulled up the snowflake sword from the ground and walked towards the top of the slope.

The judge was a literati. According to the military affairs of the Song Dynasty, the judge in the army was equivalent to the role of a military supervisor. But what did a judge lead a team here to do? It is said that bandits attack merchants. Attacking court officials was a serious crime of treason, so Zhao Xing did not believe in the other party's identity at all.

Look at the dress of these soldiers, they don’t look like normal soldiers. The Song Dynasty called themselves Huode, and their military uniforms were purple shirts, and a Fan Yang hat on their heads - a felt hat with a big brim, which was similar to the current straw hat. These soldiers were wearing soap robes of yamen runners and were just wrapped in a head scutellar, which looked inconsistent. Zhao Xing looked at them with a look of vigilance.

Zhou Tao, wearing a soap robe, first looked at Zhao Xing's scholar's white robe. Seeing that Zhao Xing was neither arrogant nor humble when he bowed, he turned his eyes to the knife in the other party's hand.

"This is Sun Hua's knife. I recognize it. Where is the escaped slave now?" Zhou Tao asked coldly.

Zhao Xing slowly drew his sword out of the sheath and his answer was cold: "I snatched this knife from the bandits. I don't know who Sun Hua is."

After saying that, he held the knife with both hands and made a gesture of offering the knife, but he held the hilt of the knife in his hand and pointed the blade at Zhou Tao, asking: "It's getting dusk, and in the wilderness, how can the emperor prove that he is the judge of the Xinghua Army? As far as we know, although the bandits on this road are rampant, there are very few attacks on the imperial court's officials. Who are you?"

Zhou Tao's face sank. Just as he was about to scold him, a subordinate gently pulled his clothes. Zhou Tao looked down the hillside and was shocked and sweated.

When Zhao Xing went up the mountain, he once winked the students. These children were all afraid of the world. When they saw Zhao Xing drawing his sword on the hillside, they had already pressed their hands on the bowstring and aimed at the top of the slope. The wingers had already suppressed them to the slope under the children's drive.

"Cough cough", Zhou Tao coughed a few times: "I came to Shaowu Army to do it publicly. I won't mention that Sun Hua, and I just fell in love with his knife. I didn't expect that he would escape with the knife... Now that the knife is in your hands, I won't pursue it. If it's too late today, let's disperse each other."

Zhao Xing held up the knife and remained silent. Seeing that Zhao Xing was unmoved, Zhou Tao immediately changed into a smile: "If you have the help of a hero, I will send the hero a car, and ask your people to push a car behind the slope. Let you and I leave each other, and from now on, they will not recognize each other."

Behind the slope? Zhao Xing's eyes turned and a cold sweat broke out. The man was actually hiding something behind the slope. Could it be reinforcements or reserve teams? He did not dare to delay and waved to Cheng Lao Er's son Cheng Zhuo to go to the slope and then take a look. After a while, Cheng Lao Er pushed over a heavy chicken bus. Zhou Tao seemed to frown. When Zhao Xing saw it, he shouted in a deep voice without hesitation: "Goodbye", held up his knife, and returned backwards step by step.

When the merchants saw Zhao Xing stalemate with the officials on the top of the slope, they had already escaped from the roadside, but Jiao Chu had not left yet. He stood next to Zhao Xing and his friends, whispering to comfort the scared girl. When Zhao Xing retreated downhill, a group of talents quickly left the roadside under layers of cover.

After walking through several mountain bays until the group of people on the top of the slope could not be seen. Zhao Xing only took a few steps and walked to the side of Cheng Zhuotui's chicken bus. There were two large wooden boxes tied to the chicken bus. The box was very heavy. With Zhao Xing's power, it was lifted up, but it still didn't move. He withdrew his hand and ordered quickly: "Go away quickly, don't stop, Mr. Jiao, if you want to survive, follow us."

Jiao Tu stretched out his head and asked curiously: "Scholar, what is in the box? Why don't you open it and take a look?"

"Don't ask, don't ask if you want to survive," Zhao Xing sighed and whispered to himself: "I'm so curious. I shouldn't push this car, so I'll run away."

After walking a few steps, Zhao Xing immediately greeted Jiao Chu again: "Brother-in-law, is there a river nearby? Let's go to the riverside and ask your son to run a few steps to greet the merchants in front of him. If you want to not confiscate the family and exterminate the clan, call all the merchants who know your background and follow us."

Seeing Zhao Xing's solemn expression, Jiao Chu did not dare to neglect, so he quickly called his son forward. What Zhao Xing did not expect was that he had such a high prestige. After a while, Jiao Chu's son went there, he hurriedly took a few vendors. They followed Zhao Xing's arrangement without any doubt. Under Jiao Chu's guidance, the whole team entered a small road on the side of the road.

Not far away, there were already sounds of footsteps on the road behind him, mixed with monotonous horse hoof sounds. Zhao Xing urged everyone to go quickly, and suddenly he lowered his head and saw the ruts on the ground. He slapped his forehead and said in annoyance: "It's broken, the car marks are so deep, just be careful and you can find... Master, how far is it from the riverside?"

"Not far away, you can hear the sound of water after walking a few more steps," Jiao Tu shouted in the distance.

The night was vast, and Zhao Xing could already feel the fog rising by the river. After a while, they would completely hide in the fog.

But it's the hardest to endure in this "after a while".

The footsteps behind him paused slightly at the fork, and then rang again. Zhao Xing waved his hand: "Cheng Xia, you can continue to move forward with your child. Cheng Shuang, Cheng Zhuo, then ask someone to go back with me."

At the fork at the fork, three or five figures were wandering there. Zhao Xing didn't even hide it. He rushed forward with a knife, and several children behind him were following him with bows and arrows. The shadow couldn't see where the intersection belonged, but when they saw Zhao Xing carrying a knife, they ran towards him with a fierce look, and immediately screamed and ran towards him.

Their origin is also Zhao Xing's origin.

After running a few steps, Zhao Xing stopped chasing and turned over to call the children to continue running.

There is no way to chase after you. In the dark night, you can't even see the arrow shaft clearly, let alone aiming and shooting. The group of people saw the opportunity and escaped their lives. Zhao Xing was busy rushing to chase him, but he had no intention of continuing to chase him.

By the time Zhao Xing arrived, Cheng Xia had already figured out a solution. He used the rescue rope he carried with him to string the merchants together. Several mountain people with good eyesight walked in front, leaving a few people in the team holding the ropes, while others walked with the ropes. Although the team walked slowly, they were very orderly.
