Three days later, early in the morning.

The escort escort that escorted Princess Ziqing back to the imperial capital was drawn again.

It is a long way from the Teng Wangfu in Babao Town to the imperial capital, and it will take half a month according to their current travel speed.

For three days, Yun Huamo had been following the middle of the team, and gradually adapted to the rhythm of the team's stop-and-go.

He also gradually liked this rhythm, not only relaxed, but also able to see Princess Ziqing all the time, which he had never enjoyed in his previous life.

What feels bitter is Yun Jingnian.

There was no problem in letting him work hard, but he could keep walking for three days, but he was bitter, and he frowned step by step when he was suffering from blood blisters on the soles of his feet.

As for Jin Ziqing, she looked noble and cold in front of everyone, not as lively as when they met alone before.

It's just that the agility in his eyes occasionally makes Yun Huamo feel that he is still the kind-hearted girl he met for the first time.

"Commander Su", the scout in the team rode a big horse to Su Yu, and said, "The front is the black pine woodland boundary, and there are often young men robbing the road here, whether the team is detouring." ”

Su Yu raised his hand to stop the team and looked forward.

There are many peaks ahead, there is only one road to pass, and the roadside is covered with red pines, but I don't know why it is called a black pine forest.

If the team takes a detour from here and does not pass through the black pine forest, it will have to walk for at least five more days.

General Jin sent a secret letter to urge, saying that the emperor had asked Princess Ziqing several times about the return date.

Su Yu frowned, thinking that although there were mountain bandits here, he had more than 200 sergeants, and the mountain bandits might not dare to stop him.

"Commander Su", Princess Ziqing saw that the team stopped and didn't leave, and asked out loud, "Did something happen?"

Su Yu immediately drove his horse to the side and said, "Return to the princess, nothing has happened, and the team will start." ”

Princess Ziqing nodded slightly, and Su Yu stretched out her right hand and waved, shouting, "Keep going." ”

When the team reached the black pine forest, it was already close to noon.

When I got closer, I realized that the red pine in the black pine forest was dense, and the shortest one was nearly five zhang high.

As soon as you enter the black pine forest, there is only dappled sunlight, and the temperature is instantly at least ten degrees lower.

Cool is cool, but it also makes everyone feel the slightest coldness.

Su Yu had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he had already entered the forest, so he could only continue to command the escort team forward.

Until the black pine forest was completely dark, the escort team had not yet left the mountains.

But fortunately, nothing happened, and Su Yu's hanging heart eased slightly.

"Set up camp and make a fire. Su Yu shouted to the team, "Pay attention to the fire, don't cause a mountain fire." ”

The ranks spread out in an orderly manner from the long form.

Su Yu took Yun Huamo and Yun Jingnian and sat down outside Princess Ziqing's tent.

After a while, several soldiers brought firewood and lit a fire in front of the three of them.

"I didn't expect you to be able to keep up with the speed of the team at such a young age, and you still don't have to struggle. Su Yu smiled and gently pinched Yun Huamo's thigh and said.

Su Yu's pinched cloud wave ink was full of excitement.

He was not very comfortable with the arrogance of the people in the army, although this was Su Yu's recognition of his performance.

Yun Huamo smiled awkwardly and replied, "My father taught me some fur kung fu and exercised regularly." ”

Yun Jingnian was stunned after hearing this, but he didn't speak.

Yun Huamo thought in his heart, since Su Yu already thought that the two of them were Yunjing's descendants, it was better to admit it generously, not to mention that half of his life was really given by Uncle Yunjing.

Su Yu laughed heartily and said: "The tiger father has no dogs, he has returned to the imperial capital, and in a few years, he will come to the army to make contributions with me." ”

Yun Huamo was a little moved after hearing this, if he wanted to be with Princess Ziqing, he would definitely need to make a contribution.

Even if he goes to the imperial city, with General Jin as a backer, he is definitely not qualified to marry Princess Ziqing.

Su Yu saw that Yun Huamo's face was slightly red, and he was a little excited, knowing that this kid must have this kind of thought, so he immediately grabbed Yun Huamo's shoulder with his hand and said: "That's it, you kid must learn some martial arts diligently, and you must save your life first when you go into battle to kill the enemy." ”

...

The night is dark.

Suddenly, more than 100 torches rose around the team, and more than 500 mountain bandits had already surrounded the escort.

"There is an enemy attacking!!

A deafening shout resounded throughout the black pine forest.

Yes~

Then a scream made Su Yu and the others stand up in shock.

Although Princess Ziqing's travel team has more than 300 people, the palace maids and miscellaneous servants account for 100, and now 500 mountain bandits surround them, this must be a vicious battle.

Su Yu thought to herself, how could there be so many mountain bandits, didn't you say that there were only young people and mountain bandits?

Without giving Su Yu much time to react, the external sentry posts were all solved, and the mountain bandits had already begun to surround the princess's tent.

"What's going on, Commander Sue. Princess Ziqing heard the movement and lifted the curtain to look at Su Yu.

Su Yu didn't have time to reply, so he pushed Yun Huamo and Yun Jingnian towards the big tent, and said hurriedly: "You two just stay in the tent, don't move around." ”

"People come, all gather outside the princess's tent and defend themselves!" Su Yu shouted violently.

Princess Ziqing, who was shocked by this loud cry, turned pale and retreated into the big tent.

The miscellaneous servants and palace maids, and the escort team outside, all held weapons as a defensive form.

At this time, there were only more than 180 people left in the escort team, and more than 20 people must have been killed by the sneak attack of the mountain bandits.

Su Yu took the sergeant and walked to the periphery, his face was solemn, and he said coldly: "Bold mountain bandits, dare to intercept the princess's car, don't you know how to write the word death?"

There were a few loud laughs in the distance, hoarse, as ugly as a night owl, and the laughter was getting closer.

A bald man walked out of the mountain bandits, and said in a gloomy tone: "It doesn't matter what princess queen he is, the owner of this village is lacking a lady who presses the village, and all women have tried, but they have not tried the princess." ”

Then there was a night owl-like laugh, which made everyone's teeth itch.

The big head of the mountain bandit seemed to be smeared with oil, and it could reflect the light emitted by the torch. With a pointed eagle's beak and a goatee, and a tiger skin jacket on his body, he is a great evil person just by looking at his face.

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed.

Especially Yun Huamo, he saw Princess Ziqing's panicked eyes, and he felt distressed. The fists clenched, and a pair of eyes were about to burst into flames.

Su Yu's face became extremely ugly, the gang of mountain bandits in front of him was not simple, they dared to intercept the princess's car, how could this be?

"You are leaving now, and I can act as if nothing has happened. ”

Su Yu was helpless, only verbally tempted, if the situation at this time really started, the princess was afraid that she would be more than lucky.

"Hahaha!!"

The leader of the mountain bandits laughed a few more times, and everyone was about to collapse by him.

Seeing this, the leader of the mountain bandits spoke: "Are you fools for us? Hand over the princess, and I can take your life." ”

Su Yu could believe that there was a ghost in these words, so he could only pull out the sword on his waist and shout: "Protect the princess and kill the mountain bandits." ”

"Protect the princess and kill the bandits. ”

"Protect the princess and kill the bandits. ”

......

The princess escort team followed Su Yushan and shouted, louder than louder, and the momentum continued to rise.
