Xiahou Lan called the two Dubos and said to the two of them: "You and the others, from now on, obey the orders of the second prince of Yuan." You immediately pick up the men and horses, follow Yuan Ergongzi around to the back of Feng Ji, and cut off their retreat. Do you understand? ”

"Subordinates obey!" The two Dubs hurriedly replied loudly.

After Yuan Xi left with the two Dubo, Xiahou Lan asked Yuan Tan with a smile: "Xiansi, I don't know when you and I will go out of the village to meet Fengji?" ”

"Tanma said that the people of Fengji will not be able to reach here until an hour later." Yuan Tan said cautiously: "After we wait for them to enter the three-mile range, it will not be too late to lead the troops out of the camp." But," he paused for a moment, then continued, "should we send someone back to report to the Pavilion Marquis, and ask him to send more men to assist us?" ”

"No," Xia Houlan waved his hand and said, "There are only about twenty people around Feng Ji, and there are thousands of us. If you want to catch them, it is so easy that you don't have to send someone to report to the lord. Moreover, it is two days away from Yecheng, and when the lord sends someone to come, it is already four days later, and Feng Ji will already be arrested by then, so why be surprised. ”

Yuan Tan saw that Xia Houlan was so confident, so he stopped persuading him.

After more than half an hour, the soldiers who were observing at the top of the mountain came to report: "Captain Xiahou, Feng Ji and the others are only two miles away from here. They may have discovered the camp and stopped there. ”

When Xia Houlan heard the soldier say this, he didn't immediately express his position, but asked rhetorically: "Where are the soldiers and horses brought by Yuan Ergongzi now?" ”

"The little one saw that Yuan Ergongzi's soldiers and horses had gone around to the back of Feng Ji and the others, cutting off their retreat."

Knowing that the men and horses led by Yuan Xi had cut off the back road of Feng Ji and others, Xiahou Lan suddenly felt full of confidence. He hurriedly called two military marquis and eight Dubos into the tent, and ordered one of them to take two Dubos and two hundred soldiers to stay outside the camp, and the rest of the people went out with him to meet Fengji.

Feng Ji was staying two miles away from the camp at the moment, and when he saw the camp suddenly appearing in front of him, he couldn't help but mutter: "Who is this camp?" ”

Huang An saw that Feng Ji was standing still, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Feng, why did you stop moving?" ”

Feng Ji pointed to the camp in the distance with his hand and said, "Why is there a camp here, could it be that the Han family sent someone to wait here?" After he asked this question, without waiting for the two Huang An brothers to speak, he asked himself and said, "No, no, although there are a few capable people under the command of the Han family, he would never have thought that we would take this road." ”

Feng Ji shook his head vigorously and said self-deprecatingly, "It seems that I am too worried." After speaking, he put the horsewhip forward and said, "Keep going~!" ”

After walking less than a mile, Feng Ji saw a group of men and horses coming in front of him, about five or six hundred horsemen, who were fanning towards him. Seeing this situation, Feng Ji couldn't help but secretly cry out in his heart: It's not good, it's really bad, these people seem to be coming for me.

Just as Feng Ji was about to flee back, he suddenly heard Huang Shi exclaiming: "Uncle Feng, after you hurry up, a group of men and horses also appeared behind us, cutting off our retreat." ”

The men and horses before and after were all cavalry, and after a while, they surrounded Feng Ji and his party in the middle. A military general with a helmet and armor walked out of the queue and said to Feng Ji: "Mr. Yuantu, don't come to harm?" ”

Hearing someone call out his name, Feng Ji couldn't help but shudder. After he saw the other party clearly, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise: "Big ...... The eldest son, is ...... It's you. Are you still ...... Not dead yet. ”

Yuan Tan sneered twice and said, "My son's life is hard, and he is not so easy to die." Let me ask you, why are you here? ”

"I understand, it was the Han family who released you." Feng Ji is a smart person, seeing that the soldiers behind Yuan Tan are wearing the military uniforms of Jizhou soldiers and horses, where can he not guess what is going on, he asked hard: "I wonder if the son is going to take Feng Mou to ask for merit from the Han family?" ”

"That's right," seeing that Feng Ji guessed his intentions, Yuan Tan did not deny it, so he generously admitted: "This is exactly what this son wants." ”

Xia Houlan saw that Yuan Tan and Feng Ji were talking nonsense for a long time, so she stepped forward immediately, came to Yuan Tan's side, and asked bluntly: "Feng Ji, where did you hide Miss Cai?" ”

"You...... What are you...... Who? Without waiting for Feng Ji to speak, Huang An, who was following him, was bold and asked tremblingly, "Why are you blocking our way?" ”

Xiahou Lan snorted coldly, pointed the spear in his hand at Huang An, and said, "We are under the command of Jizhou Mu and Zhangshui Tinghou, because we learned that Miss Cai was robbed by Fengji dog thieves, and we are ready to save her. If it's interesting, hand over Miss Cai quickly, otherwise ......"

"How else?" Compared with Huang An, Huang Shi was more impulsive, and when he saw Xiahou Lan's aggressive appearance at this moment, he held his head high and said with an unconvinced face: "If we don't hand over people, do you dare to kill us all?" ”

"Second brother, Hugh is rude!" Huang An was afraid that Huang Shi would get into trouble, so he hurriedly stopped him, stepped forward and bowed his hand to Xiahou Lan and said, "This general, when my two brothers followed Uncle Feng past Chen Liu, they did ask Miss Cai to accompany us, and she is in the carriage behind at the moment. ”

Hearing that Cai Yan was in the carriage behind, Xia Houlan hurriedly urged her horse forward. Zhuang Ding, who was surrounded by the carriage, was already frightened when he saw that he was surrounded by hundreds of cavalry, and at this moment, when he saw Xiahou Lan riding alone, no one dared to stop him, so he hurriedly flashed to the side and made way for him. Xia Houlan turned over and dismounted, stuck the spear on the ground, got into the carriage, and walked into the carriage with a curtain lifted.

Cai Yan was tied up and thrown in a corner of the carriage at the moment, and his mouth was tightly gagged. When she heard someone enter the carriage, she whined out of fear.

Xia Houlan hurriedly bent down and took out the silk cloth that blocked Cai Yan's mouth. Just as he was about to loosen the tie for her, Cai Yan struggled to retreat, shouting desperately in his mouth: "Go away, you go away, don't come near me!" ”

Hearing Cai Yan's shout, Xia Houlan hurriedly stopped the movements in her hand and said softly: "Zhao Ji, don't be afraid, I'm Xia Houlan." It was at the command of the Lord that he came to your rescue. ”

"Xiahou Lan?!" Cai Yan, who had been in a state of panic for several days, was a little confused, although he felt that Xia Houlan's name was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who the other party was for a while? She muttered, "It's a familiar name, but I just can't remember hearing it somewhere." Although she couldn't remember who Xia Houlan was for the time being, she vaguely felt that the other party had no ill will towards her, so she didn't continue to struggle.

Xia Houlan took out a short knife from her boots, carefully cut the rope that bound Cai Yan's hands and feet, and helped her sit up. said to her: "Zhao Ji, have you forgotten that I am Xiahou Lan, the captain of Jizhou Mu and Zhangshui Pavilion Hou Han Zhan." I have come to your rescue at the behest of the Lord. ”

When Cai Yan heard the name Han Zhan, he couldn't help but be shocked. During the time she was kidnapped by Feng Ji, she was chanting this name in her heart every day, and when she heard Xia Houlan say this, her consciousness gradually became clearer. She looked up at Xiahou Lan and said slowly: "I remember, you are Xiahou Lan, the captain of Tinghou's subordinates. ”

The two official positions of Faqiu Zhonglang General and Touching Jin Lieutenant were just taken by Han Zhan based on a book about tomb robbery in later generations, so not many people know about it. Xiahou Lan couldn't help but show a knowing smile on his face when he heard Cai Yan say his official position, he nodded vigorously, and said excitedly: "That's right, that's right, I'm the captain of Tinghou's Touching Gold." ”

Cai Yan looked at Xiahou Lan and suddenly remembered Feng Ji who kidnapped him, so he gritted his teeth and asked, "Captain Xiahou, I don't know where Feng Ji's dog thief is now?" ”

"It's right outside." Xia Houlan pointed out of the car with her hand and said, "I plan to capture him alive, and then escort him back to Yecheng and hand him over to the lord for disposal." ”

At this moment, Cai Yan, although he couldn't wait to eat his flesh raw, thought that Feng Ji and Han Zhan also had a deep blood feud, so he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Xia Houlan: "Since this is the case, spare his dog life for the time being, and when he returns to Yecheng, it is not too late to deal with him." ”

After Cai Yan said this, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise: "Shouldn't Tinghou be in Jizhou, when will you arrive in Yecheng again?" ”

"Akihime doesn't know." Xiahou explained to Cai Yan with a smile: "More than ten days ago, my lord had led his army to capture Yecheng, and Yuan Shao's army disappeared after his defeat. After saying this, he inadvertently saw Zhuang Ding around the carriage through the door curtain, and asked curiously, "Does Zhao Ji know who is traveling with Feng Ji?" ”

Hearing Xiahou Lan's question, Cai Yan nodded and said: "Feng Ji once took two teenagers to the grave of the concubine's father, saying that the two sons of the owner of Huangjiazhuang in the east made a special trip to worship because they admired their father's talent. ”

"Since they are here to worship Cai Shizhong," Xiahou Lan heard Cai Yan say this, and a puzzled expression appeared on her face: "Then why do they want to kidnap Zhao Ji again?" ”

Hearing that Cai Yan was in the carriage behind, Xia Houlan hurriedly urged her horse forward. Zhuang Ding, who was surrounded by the carriage, was already frightened when he saw that he was surrounded by hundreds of cavalry, and at this moment, when he saw Xiahou Lan riding alone, no one dared to stop him, so he hurriedly flashed to the side and made way for him.
