Shi Jin and Lei Heng were drinking wine and talking to themselves. However, there were so many outsiders sitting quietly in this hotel. They had to cover up what they wanted to say, which was really not very important. It was a pleasure to watch that most of the sunset had set over the mountain, leaving only a scarlet edge. I guessed that it was almost time.
"Let's stop drinking here, let's go outside for a walk," Lei Heng said and stood up.
"Captain, where are you going," the waiter stood up with some vigilance, fearing in his heart that this guy would just run away.
Lei Heng didn't know what the waiter was thinking, he just thought it was the waiter asking for drink money, so he took out some broken silver from his pocket, threw it into the waiter's hand and said: "Enough is not enough."
The waiter took a cursory look at the money in his hand and said, "That's enough, that's enough. Let me forget it and look for your money again."
"No need, once it's recorded in the account, it will take a long time," Lei Heng said and went out the door with Shi Jin.
"Thunder catches the head,"
As soon as Lei Heng turned around, he saw Mr. Lei standing up and saying, "Captain Lei, where are you going? It's getting dark and the bandits are coming soon. We..."
"You can rest here with peace of mind. We are here to take care of things outside," Lei Heng said and stopped caring about him. He and Shi Jin took the horses and headed straight out of the town along the only street.
Lei Heng and the two walked not far away when they heard the sound of the hotel closing and boarding up behind them. Right now, there was really no open shop in Shuangfeng Town. Every household was hiding in the cellar with its doors closed, waiting anxiously. Tonight's catastrophe.
"This is Brother Chao's curly lion beast," Lei Heng looked at the horse held by Shi Jin and said, "This guy is very tight when he runs."
"No, otherwise, I wouldn't dare to arrive at everyone's front door,"
Lei Heng smiled and did not answer. He walked a few steps forward, as if talking to himself or talking to Shi Jin, and said: "King Chao Tian, my treatment of you is indeed unusual."
"We are all brothers," Shi Jin simply replied.
"Here, look," Lei Heng pointed at a lonely courtyard outside Shuangfeng Town and said, "That's the patrol room. Let's go there to stay."
Shi Jin looked in the direction pointed by Lei Heng. He saw a dilapidated two-story building with a bare horizontal pole floating on a tall flagpole. The flag above must have been exposed to the wind and rain. I don’t know where the dilapidation went, but outside this small building is a circle of low earth walls, with mottled patches on the wall, all traces left by wind and sand.
Lei Hengshijin and the two stepped in. The horizontal plaque hanging on the door frame had already been blown to the ground by the strong wind, and it was covered with a thick layer of loess. Lei Heng walked to the door, leaned down and brushed off the plaque. Covered with soil, he turned the plaque over. On the faded plaque, the three black characters "Patrol Room" could still be faintly seen. Lei Heng used his sleeve to carefully wipe the plaque aside and said: "This place was still here a few years ago. There were people there, but then no one could stay. It was desolate and difficult, and most of the guards fled. This place has been deserted for a long time."
After Lei Heng said that, he erected the signboard of the patrol room and placed it at the door. Then he and Shi Jin pushed open the two dilapidated doors and went inside. The patrol room was in a mess. It was obvious that no one had stayed there for a long time. , covered with spider webs and covered with dust, Lei Heng looked around and saw a bronze medal on the ground. He picked it up and wiped it clean. There was the word "Catch" on it. Isn't this the badge of a patrol officer? I don’t know who was working here back then and actually lost all this.
Lei Heng shook his head, looked around, and said, "There's nothing worse than this, right?"
Shi Jin smiled and said nothing.
Lei Heng opened all the windows of the patrol room, found two benches, wiped them clean, and placed them in the courtyard. He also found a millstone in the patrol room, and sat in the courtyard with Shi Jin, talking. , while taking out his own simple knife and sharpening it carefully.
"You've been out for so long, aren't you worried about the situation over there?"
"Well," Shi Jin was a little stunned by Lei Heng's sudden question. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Oh, I plan to leave in a day or two. I just got some news last night."
Lei Heng looked at Shi Jin's brows and frowned slightly, lowered his head and continued sharpening the knife, and said, "Why, the news is not good,"
"Well, the imperial court has gathered soldiers and horses from the nearby state capital to surround and kill them. It is extremely urgent,"
"In such a hurry, why bother to intervene in this matter," Lei Heng said, paused here, and said: "Just send some people here,"
"Anyway, I'm here in time, why not take a walk by myself and have a drink with you," Shi Jin said half-jokingly.
"I don't get this drink for free. One day when I get tired of being a patrolman, you have to treat me to some good wine from Huayin." Lei Heng did not raise his head, but just lowered his head and polished this piece carefully. The blade in the hand.
Shi Jin watched Lei Hengna's eyes tightly focused on the blade, inch by inch, bit by bit, grinding out the cold light. Shi Jin said: "What's wrong? When you come, I will definitely treat you to a drink." It's a lot of fun," Shi Jin said. The smile on his face suddenly disappeared. After listening carefully, he quickly and seriously said to Lei Heng: "Brother Lei, listen."
Lei Heng stopped what he was doing, put his ear to the ground, and then raised his head and said: "The horse bandits are coming." After saying that, he quickly sharpened two swords, then looked at the blade and said: "I'll wait for you. Coming,"
"Brother Lei, these three eyes are afraid of Liangshan's pursuit. Even if they come out this time, they will be cautious. Especially seeing that Shuangfeng Town is completely silent without lights, those three eyes will be even more cautious. "
"Brother, what do you mean,"
"The three eyes will definitely send out a wave of people to explore the truth first, and then they will lead a large group of people to kill themselves. If they feel that there is something wrong, the three eyes will be the first to flee. Shi Jin said.
Lei Heng thought for a moment and said: "We don't have enough manpower. Otherwise, we should ambush two strange soldiers outside the town. When they come in the first wave, I will stop them first. When the three eyes are lured to kill them, I will attack them from both sides." Kill them out, gather them together and annihilate them. By the way, when will your twenty men arrive?"
"It's hard to say, I'm afraid we can't hope for it now," Shi Jin said.
"I also wrote an emergency document to the county, but I can't make it now. Alas, I won't care about it anymore. I'll risk it all," Lei Heng said, "Let's see what they can do. Brother, we are like this Come, I will intercept them in front of the town. No matter what happens, you must not show your body. When the three eyes bully the young and kill them, you can suddenly come out again. Do you think it's good?"
Shi Jin didn't expect that Lei Heng, a man with a rough temper, could be both rough and subtle. Now he heard the sound of the horse's hooves becoming more and more clear. In the dark sky, he could vaguely see little snake-like firelights coming from him. Shi Jin nodded. Agreeing, he said, "Be careful," then got on the curly-haired lion beast and detoured to the back of the group.
Lei Heng dragged the stool quickly to the front of Shuangfeng Town, placed the stool horizontally under the archway in front of the town, and sat on it with a big butt. Although his palms were sweating, he still sat there. Put on a lazy and uncaring look.
Lei Heng secretly taunted himself: A person who is shouting and drinking, never expected that today he would also perform an empty city plan.
Splitting the words, Shi Jin galloped wildly, bypassing the group of people who were carrying torches and running towards Shuangfeng Town, and then started running close to the official road. Shi Jin was supposed to be hiding outside Shuangfeng Town. , waiting for the Three Eyes to show up, but no matter how much he calculated in his mind, Shi Jin felt that the Three Eyes would not show up so easily, and if the twenty Qingqi from Liangshan arrived at the wrong time, they would probably cause trouble. Letting those three eyes escape in the chaos would leave endless troubles.
Shi Jin estimated in his heart that these three eyes would definitely hide at a just right distance from Twin Peaks Town. They could launch a quick attack when the situation was good and escape quickly when the situation was bad. These places were only The meeting was not far from the official road, and Shi Jin couldn't run for a few miles. Sure enough, he vaguely saw a group of people hiding furtively not far away.
A smile appeared at the corner of Shi Jin's lips, and he thought to himself: "Let's see where you are going to escape." After thinking about this, he slowed down his horse and slowly headed in the direction of the group of people.
Hiding over there was Three Eyes. He was really afraid that there were people from Liangshan nearby, so he immediately sent a forward force of less than twenty people to find out the reality of Shuangfeng Town. If he only killed one The patrol and dozens of horse dealers, a dozen minions were enough, and he led a large group of more than fifty people to sit here two or three miles away, just waiting to see what was going on over there. However, at this moment, Three Eyes heard a series of slow sound of horse hooves coming from the official road. It didn't sound urgent and was no different from usual. He didn't react much at the moment, just waved his hand. Two minions were sent on horseback to question and question him.
The two minions responded, got on their horses, and with sabers in hand, they galloped toward the black figure.
However, in the darkness of the night, when there were only a few human figures visible on both sides, the horse of the visitor suddenly started to rush strangely. It turned out that it was still dozens of miles away, and somehow it appeared as if it was an illusion. In front of the two of them, and before the two minions had time to see who it was, let alone ask, a flash of gunfire flashed in front of the two of them, and the two of them turned over with gushing flesh and blood. Get off your horse.
They didn't see the appearance of the person coming clearly, so they were picked off and killed. The group of people in the distance didn't even realize what was going on. They only heard a stern voice pouring into their ears, like a spring thunder. There was a loud bang on the head, frightening everyone into despair.
