Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Ximen Qing glanced back, and sure enough, none of the officers and soldiers behind him were carrying bows and arrows.But Boda and Sandu, as envoys, are not fully armed, they only have waist knives with them.It seems that the two Jurchens have sensed that something is wrong, and they want to shoot down Duan Jingzhu in front of him.

Everyone was riding their horses and galloping wildly, and after a while, the level of riding skills became apparent.Ximen Qing, Boda, Sandu, Ma Kuo, Jiao Ting, and the guards led by Jiao Ting could still keep up with the man in front, but Li Shanqing, Wang Gui and the Dengzhou army were unable to do what they wanted. Gradually opened the distance.

The man in front thought he was good at riding. When he turned his head and saw that the large group of people had been thrown off by him, he whistled triumphantly at the two Jurchens, and even had time to chat with Boda and Sanji in the Jurchen language from time to time. They all scold each other.

Boda and San were both screamed by the anger in front of them, but they couldn't catch up, they had nothing to do with all their strength, and they were worrying about nothing on the horse.

This golden retriever is fun!Ximen Qing saw it, and became concerned about Duan Jingzhu and the horse under his crotch.

After the crowd chased for more than ten miles in the field, the winner was determined by the horses.After all, Jingzhu in the front was riding a thousand-mile BMW. Although Jiao Ting and his guards were all riding good horses bought from the Liao Kingdom in the north, they were also weak at this time and were left behind.Ma Kuo, who rode a good Northwest horse, was also pulled away.

After chasing for a while, Boda and Sandu's Liaodong horse couldn't catch up with the man in front, and the two were full of remorse.

"I'll catch that guy!" Ximen Qing turned his head and shouted to Jiao Ting and Ma Kuo, and rode his horse to chase after him alone.When Ximen Qing came to Dengzhou this time, he was riding the snow-riding black horse captured from Sun Li, which was also a thousand-mile horse.Therefore, at this time only Ximen Qing could keep up with the speed of the man in front of him.

After chasing for a while, Jiao Ting, Ma Kuo, Bo Da, Sandu and others were all thrown away far away, and they could only watch helplessly as Ximen Qing and the horse thief in front disappeared into the smoke and dust.

"Brother Ximen went chasing that villain alone, if something goes wrong, what should we do?" Ma Kuo saw that his horse was already sweating profusely and was exhausted, so he had to rein in the horse, and asked Jiao Ting worriedly .

"Brother Ma Kuo, don't worry, that's my brother Ximen!" Jiao Ting replied confidently to Ma Kuo.Ximen Qing's victory after victory has established blind admiration and trust in the hearts of Jiao Ting and these old brothers.

Not far in front of the two, Sandu and Boda were muttering something, they also gave up chasing, turned their horses and came towards Ma Kuo and Jiao Ting.

"Brother Ma Kuo, what did the two Jurchen brothers say?" Jiao Ting asked.

Ma Kuo said: "The two of them are praising Brother Ximen for chasing the enemy alone, he is indeed a true hero."

Of course Ximen is a hero!Jiao Ting and the guards behind him all laughed when they heard this.

……

On the wilderness at the junction of Weizhou and Qingzhou, two horses, one white and one black, were chasing at lightning speed.Riding on the black horse behind was Ximen Qing.And the one riding on the white horse in front was none other than Duan Jingzhu, the horse thief that Ximen Qing guessed.

Duan Jingzhu was born in Zhuozhou, Liao, and his ancestor was the Duan family of Xianbei.Since he makes a living by stealing horses, his all-around skill is naturally on horses.Duan Jingzhu not only knows how to meet and raise horses, but also is familiar with the temperament of horses, and his riding skills are even more exquisite.

You must know that stealing horses on the grassland and chasing them after being discovered is commonplace.If he wasn't good at riding, Duan Jingzhu's red-haired and yellow-bearded head would have been cut off and fed to dogs long ago.

Because of his confidence in his riding skills and the stolen BMW, when Duan Jingzhu was being pursued by Boda and Sandu, he could easily scold them and not worry about being chased by everyone.

But after running a hundred miles in one go, Duan Jingzhu was also secretly startled when he realized that he hadn't completely got rid of the pursuers behind him.

He looked back, and secretly made up his mind about the black horse behind him and its owner.

Chapter 421 Stealing Addicted

"Golden Retriever" Duan Jingzhu can make a living by stealing horses, so he is very good at spotting horses.After chasing for so long, he has already seen that the black horse not far behind him is the same as the "Zhaoye Jade Lion" he stole, both are BMWs that can travel thousands of miles in a day.

What a horse!It should look like a "black horse riding on snow"!This horse is not only fast, but also has the highest jumping ability among all horses.Walking in the abyss of the valley is like walking on the ground!If he can also take this horse away and dedicate it to his two elder brothers together with the "Zhaoye Jade Lion", his advancement will be perfect!

Duan Jingzhu was delighted to see Liexin, and he showed the greedy eyes of an excellent horse thief to Ximenqing's "black horse on snow".

A horse is a BMW, but a man is a fool!That guy dared to chase me alone, but didn't he offer the BMW with both hands?

Seeing that there was only a white-faced gentleman chasing him single-handedly behind him, "Golden Retriever" Duan Jingzhu thought to himself how he could take the BMW behind him as his own.

Robbery is something only robbers can do. As a horse thief with special skills, although Duan Jingzhu thinks that the gorgeously dressed man behind him will not be his opponent, he is still unwilling to use force to fight for his life.Duan Jingzhu's idea at this time was to steal the "Snow-Treading Black Horse" behind him without anyone noticing.

Hey!Could it be that the bird thief Duan Jingzhu is thinking about my horse?Ximen Qing saw the man with red hair and yellow beard frequently looking back at the horse under his crotch from behind, his eyes were just like the one when "Purple Bearded Uncle" Huang Fuduan saw "Treading Snow and Black Horse" for the first time It was hot, and I couldn't help but secretly speculate in my heart.

In order to try Duan Jingzhu, Ximen Qing secretly tightened the reins on purpose, slowing down the speed of the horse, pretending that he was weak, and gradually opened some distance from Duan Jingzhu.

As Ximenqing expected, "Golden Retriever" Duan Jingzhu saw that Ximen Qing could not catch up, fearing that he would go home and reconcile with the brigade behind him, so he also slowed down his speed, not far or near to attract Ximen Qing, don't let him give up chasing completely.

Hehehe~ What a daring horse thief!Ximen Qing saw through Duan Jingzhu's trick, pretended not to know, swayed from side to side on the horse, pretending to be exhausted, and followed behind him reluctantly.

Duan Jingzhu thought he had a plan, looked at the sky, saw that the sun was setting and the sky was getting darker, so he found a downwind direction and led Ximen Qing to the poplar forest beside a river ahead.

This river is Mishui at the junction of Weizhou and Qingzhou. Poplar trees and dry reeds grow on both sides of the river.After crossing the river, you enter the territory of Qingzhou.After Duan Jingzhu entered the poplar grove, he hurried on and disappeared into the depths of the forest.

When Ximen Qing came to the edge of the woods, Duan Jingzhu disappeared, and he simply stopped chasing the guy.Both horses are thousand-mile horses, as long as they don't go into the mountains, even if they chase them for a few days in this plain, it will be difficult to decide the outcome.Of course, if he was in the valley and abyss, his "Snow-Treading Black Horse" would be better, and it would not be difficult to catch up with Duan Jingzhu's "Zhaoye Jade Lion".

Since the horse thief Duan Jingzhu wanted to get his horse out of his way, he probably wouldn't go far away. Ximen Qing thought there was no need to chase him any more, so he jumped off the horse and took the "Snow-Treading Wuzhi Horse" to the river to drink water and graze , to restore horsepower.

Ximen Qing himself had dry food for the journey. He took out a piece of bread from the leather pouch next to the saddle, took off the water bag, and sat on the grass by the river to eat it.

"Golden Retriever" Duan Jingzhu, Mr. Ximen, in order to chase you, I can't even eat the roast lamb tonight!Senior official, I have sacrificed so much, so it depends on your performance.If you don't satisfy me, meet again next time, be careful that I will blow your dog's head off!

……

In the dead of night, the sound of insects could hardly be heard in the dead of winter. The "Golden Retriever" Duan Jing lived in the depths of the woods and found a secluded place to hide his "Zhao Ye Jade Lion" BMW. After hiding for an hour, he quietly walked through the dark woods towards the direction where Ximen Qing was resting. touch.

As a horse thief, "Golden Retriever" Duan Jingzhu has some special skills.Although his sense of smell is not as good as that of a real hound, it is still far superior to that of ordinary people, especially sensitive to the smell of horses.

In the dark night, Duan Jingzhu didn't need to rely on his eyes to find the way, but only relied on his nose to capture the position of the "black horse on snow" that was chasing after him during the day.When he chose to escape in the downwind direction, it was to take advantage of the night and smell the wind to come back and steal the horse.

Quietly, Duan Jingzhu quietly approached Ximen Qing by the woods.He hid behind a big tree and peeped at the man and horse by the woods.

I saw Ximen Qing lying sideways in his clothes and sleeping on a reed hay mat under a poplar tree, and his body was also covered with a thick layer of hay.The saddle on the "Treading Snow Black Horse" has been taken off and placed on the grass, and the horse's reins are tied by the owner to the poplar tree beside him. The horse closed its eyes and stood motionless in place to sleep.

Duan Jingzhu has rich experience in stealing horses. When he saw the scene in front of him, he did not act rashly. Instead, he sat patiently behind a tree and observed Ximen Qing to make sure he was fast asleep.

After squatting in the woods like this for another half an hour, Duan Jingzhu saw that Ximen Qing was sleeping soundly, and saw nothing unusual, finally couldn't hold back, and bent his waist and approached "Treading Snow Black Dawning Horse" quietly.

Perhaps Duan Jingzhu has a special smell in his body after dealing with horses for many years. When he quietly approached the "Treading Snow Black Dawning Horse", he didn't wake up the horse.

When he came to the willow tree, Duan Jingzhu gently pulled out a small waist knife from his waist, and cut off the rein on the tree.Immediately afterwards, he pulled the rein and slowly approached the "Snow-Treading Black Horse".When he came to the side of "Treading Snow and Black Horse", he felt ecstasy in his heart.Because he thought that the horse was already in his hands, and he had it for himself!

Duan Jingzhu knew that the owner of the horse was by his side, so he could not cut the reins and lead the horse away.Because when the horse suddenly wakes up, it will inevitably struggle and neigh, which will wake up the owner who is sleeping on the side.At this time, the other party is alone, and the best way to steal the horse is to mount the horse and hit the horse and run away. After the owner wakes up when he hears the noise, he cannot catch up with him because he lost his only horse.

Although there is no saddle on the back of the "Treading Snow Black Horse" at this time, it is not difficult for Duan Jingzhu, a horse thief with excellent riding skills.

Duan Jingzhu lightly pressed his hands on the horse's back, and tapped his feet hard on the ground, and he was about to fly onto the horse.But at this moment, a stick flew suddenly in the darkness, hitting Duan Jingzhu's arms.

Duan Jingzhu suffered pain in his arm and was knocked down on the grass.If he hadn't dodged in time, the "Treading Snow Black Horse", who was almost awakened, would have stepped on the front door.

Duan Jing rolled around on the grass, and before he could get up, a big foot stepped on his chest.Immediately afterwards, two gleaming steel knives pressed against Duan Jingzhu's cheeks and plunged into the soil, making him dare not move again.

This knife is so cool!Must kill without blood!

Chapter 422 My Big Brother Scared You To Death

"You thief who is not afraid of death, you dare to steal my horse!" Ximen Qing cursed Duan Jingzhu with a sneer on his face.

After being awakened by Duan Jingzhu, the "Treading Snow Black Horse" kicked twice indiscriminately, ran in a small circle twice, came behind Ximen Qing, rubbed his face on Ximen Qing's shoulder, and turned his face curiously Looking carefully at Duan Jingzhu who was lying on the ground, he let out a few inexplicable hisses.

Is this being despised by a horse?Duan Jingzhu, a senior horse thief who has been in Liaodong and Mobei for more than ten years, feels a deep sense of humiliation in his heart.

"The good man spares his life! The good man spares his life! The villain will never dare again!" Duan Jing suppressed the humiliation and shame in his heart, and squeezed out a charming smile in a timely manner, begging Ximen Qing for mercy.
