Among all the training contents, the one that interests Lu Xiaoxian the most is the lance. In later generations, the horse lance and the Mo knife were two ancient weapons that Lu Xiaoxian greatly admired.

It is said that the generals Wei Chi Gong and Shan Xiongxin at the time of the founding of the Tang Dynasty were both masters of the lance.

The lance is different from the gun, the gun is often broken in a heavy cavalry charge, and the rod of the lance is made of the trunk of the high-quality tough wood, peeled into a fine rod of uniform thickness, and a plurality of thin rods are glued together with fish foam glue, which has amazing toughness and elasticity, and will not be broken in a high-speed charge.

The length of the lance can be more than a foot long, and the correct way to use it on a horse is to hold the middle of the lance with both hands, rather than the bottom end like a gun. Therefore, the skill of controlling the lance is very demanding, and the requirements for physical fitness and skill are high, and it is only suitable for a few people.

The lance is a symbol of a noble general, expensive and powerful. There were only two spears in the camp near the city, one of which was Liu Yan's own, and I don't know where his lance came from. According to King Liu Yan himself, he killed many enemies on the battlefield with this lance.

In addition to being good at using lances, Liu Yan also has two very unique skills: avoiding lances and grabbing lances.

These two skills are difficult for many people to practice well. But Lu Xiaoxian is different, avoiding and grabbing the lance relies on his eyesight and reflexes, and he has a unique advantage in this regard.

Soon, Lu Xiaoxian learned Liu Yanwang's stunts.

His battlefield skills have been inherited, which makes King Liu Yan also very pleased, and he asserts that Lu Xiaoxian will definitely become a good soldier in the future.

……

The days of training in the barracks did not last long. At this moment, Lu Xiaoxian had to leave the military camp by the city and return to Yingzhou City.

"What the hell is going on!" Lu Xiaoxian was restless, like a sleepy beast.

Zhang Meng rarely saw Lu Xiaoxian so out of shape, and his lips moved to tell what happened.

Due to thorough preparations, the housekeeper of Fan Mansion quickly purchased the first batch of grain in other prefectures and counties, totaling 2,000 stones.

After everything was done, the housekeeper of Fan Mansion led a convoy to transport grain to Songdesert.

Yesterday, when the convoy marched to the foot of Yongshan Mountain, it was attacked by a group of masked men, and all the food in the car was burned.

Except for the housekeeper of Fan's mansion who escaped by chance, the rest of the more than 30 people who escorted the car were all killed on the spot.

"Have you reported the case to the Governor's Office?" Lu Xiaoxian asked.

"The crime has been reported!" Zhang Meng nodded, "After the on-site investigation by the government, it is preliminarily determined that the Longshan bandits did it!" ”

"Qin Huo?" Lu Xiaoxian frowned.

Zhang Meng didn't speak, he knew the relationship between Lu Xiaoxian and Qin Huo, and he also understood how annoying Qin Huo would make Lu Xiaoxian by doing this.

"Where is the Fan Mansion Steward now?" Lu Xiaoxian asked in a deep voice.

"He has been sent back to Fan's Mansion, he is very seriously injured, and he is blind in both eyes!"

Lu Xiaoxian waved his hand and said, "Go!" Let's go to Pham House! ”

When he saw Fan Chong, Lu Xiaoxian was very upset.

"Fan Yuanwai, if something like this happens, I don't know what to say!" Lu Xiaoxian's mood was very heavy, "I blame me for this, I'm sorry for you!" ”

Fan Chong was very calm: "Master Lu, this matter is very strange. It stands to reason that Qin Huo should not rob the grain cart of Fan Mansion. I'm afraid you guessed it right, they're already involved! ”

"Them?" Lu Xiaoxian exclaimed, "Fan Yuanwai, do you mean to say that Qin Huo didn't do this matter?" ”

"It can't be him! I asked the housekeeper that the masked men had first shot him blind in the eyes when they attacked, and then inadvertently revealed the identity of the Longshan bandits as they spoke. Fan Chongyan said, "So many people have all died, leaving his life alone, isn't it obvious that he wants to come back to report the news!" ”

"I see!" Lu Xiaoxian took a deep breath and stood up, "Fan Yuanwai, please take care of the housekeeper, I'll leave first!" ”

"Master Lu, go get busy, be more careful yourself!" Fan Chong said.

……

Although Xie Yunxuan is still dressed in a white shirt, he has a sad face, how can he still be free and easy in the past. Apparently, he was also worried about the burning of the grain truck.

"Senior Brother Lu, look at this......"

Before Xie Yunxuan finished speaking, he was stopped by Lu Xiaoxian: "Senior Brother Yunxuan, I heard that the bodies of the thirty people who died were all parked in the mortuary of the Yamen, right?" ”

"Seems to be!" Xie Yunxuan was very strange, "What are you asking for?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian didn't explain, and said categorically: "Let's go, take me to see!" ”

Coming out of the mortuary, Lu Xiaoxian lowered his head and pondered as he walked.

"Senior Brother Lu, have you found anything?" Xie Yunxuan asked.

Lu Xiaoxian stopped and looked at Xie Yun

Xuan: "It's all fatal with one blow, Senior Brother Yun Xuan, do you believe that this was done by bandits?" ”

Xie Yunxuan shook his head and said, "I also think it's strange, although there are many bandits in Longshan, there shouldn't be so many masters!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian was chiseled: "Senior Brother Yunxuan, if I guess correctly, this matter should be done by Ashina Jingliu!" ”

Xie Yunxuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Holy Water Palace? ”

"That's right! That's them! Lu Xiaoxian sighed, "It's really ruthless, it pinched our lives, and we didn't even have room to fight back!" ”

The Khitan people's grain storage can last for three or five days at most, and everyone is waiting for this batch of grain to save their lives, but the grain was burned on the way. Now, even if we go to other states and counties to transfer grain, it will be too late.

Today, there are only two paths in front of the Khitans: either wait to starve to death, or take a risk.

Of course, Xie Yunxuan knew the seriousness of the matter, and he said worriedly: "Sun Wanrong of the Khitan came to the Governor's Mansion specifically for this matter, and his attitude was extremely tough, so that Zhao Wenhui must give an explanation within three days, otherwise he will bear the consequences!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian turned his head and asked, "What is Zhao Wenhui doing now?" ”

"What else can he do besides ordering the fast house to arrest Qin Huo as soon as possible?" Xie Yunxuan added, "Oh, I heard that he is preparing to mobilize the Chengbian army trained in the military camp and go to Longshan to suppress bandits!" ”

"It's just a stupid pig!" Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help cursing and glanced at Xie Yunxuan, "I don't know why King Liang chose him to come to Yingzhou?" ”

scolded Lu Xiaoxian's fingers, Xie Yunxuan could only pretend not to hear it, who made Zhao Wenhui such a good person?

"The top priority now is to appease the Khitans as soon as possible so that they don't fall into despair!" Lu Xiaoxian didn't care about going around in circles anymore, and said to Xie Yunxuan directly, "Senior Brother Yunxuan, it's already 100,000 urgent. Now that the imperial decree has arrived, no matter what method you use, you must guarantee that the relief grain from the official warehouse of Yingzhou City will be delivered to the Khitan within three days. When the food arrives, we still have room to go back. Otherwise, you can only watch the Khitans rebel! ”

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!" Xie Yunxuan nodded solemnly.

"This is our last chance, we can't go wrong again!" Lu Xiaoxian laughed at himself with a bitter face, "I really didn't expect that the two heirs of the Ninety-Five Sect would be so embarrassed when they cooperated with all their might!" ”
