In the dense forests on both sides, countless howling barbarians suddenly burst out, and some of them were actually wearing armor.

Caught off guard, he immediately screamed again and again, welcoming the barbarians of Wu'e, and they were shot down and cut down one after another.

Shopkeeper Qiu was so frightened that he hugged his head and ran away, and he was in a hurry, when he heard someone shouting beside him: "Follow me!" ”

looked up in amazement, but saw Zhang Zhaoxuan's bride with a red dress and a red hijab passing by him, and he immediately subconsciously chased after him.

There were screams around him, he didn't distinguish things, he just ran after the bright red in front of him, and he didn't notice that the barbarians who were going to intercept the bride screamed and fell down one by one.

Suddenly, he felt that his arm was being pulled vigorously, and he immediately ran faster and faster, as if his feet were not touching the ground, but he just fell to his feet quickly.

The screams and screams were gradually thrown behind.

The force that pulled him suddenly disappeared, and he fell into a pile of rotten leaves, and fell into the mud, and then coughed loudly, and his throat was sweet, and he felt like he was about to vomit blood.

The forest is deep and the trees are high, and although the bright moon is in the sky at this time, it is blocked by lush branches and leaves, and the surroundings are pitch black.

Lu Ning put down Li Yanniang on his back, returned the long sword to the sheath, and said in a low voice: "Don't speak, those barbarians, some are chasing us behind, and the rest, if you kill the Wu'e barbarians, they will definitely catch up." ”

Li Yanniang grabbed the red hijab on her head suddenly, her pretty face turned slightly pale, and she wanted to speak, but was stopped by Lu Ning making a gesture.

In the distance, there were two inaudible screams, and then, Wanyan Xiaohua's small figure appeared, she walked over, picked up the neck of the shopkeeper Qiu who was paralyzed on the ground, and walked towards the depths of the dense forest.

Li Yanniang was stunned, how did this little scholar and little follower feel very weird?

Although Wanyan Xiaohua is the deputy head of the women's guard, and the general leader Lu Ning has two hundred female guards, she rarely appears near the tent, but Li Yanniang has never seen her.

After a while, Wanyan Xiaohua came back and bowed slightly: "Master, the barbarian has recruited, they are from Fengzhou, they are the subordinates of the Fengzhou barbarian Jiao Gonghan, who came to capture the envoy and the bride of Qi, and that Jiao Gonghan also sent a brigade to intercept and kill Ruan Shoujie who left Wuning Cave and came to Wu'e Tucheng to get married." ”

Lu Ning frowned slightly.

Fengzhou Jiao Gonghan is also one of the twelve envoys, however, unlike many other envoys who are chieftains, he is the official appointment of the Wu Dynasty as the Fengzhou Assassin.

Fengzhou is the state capital under the former Tang Dynasty Protectorate, more than 200 miles southwest of Wu'e, many state capitals in the period of the current Annam Protectorate have been abandoned, but Fengzhou is more prosperous, Hakka immigrants are also more, and the west resists the invasion of the Khmer people in Chenla, so Fengzhou has always existed, and has always been the most important military town in the northwest of Annam.

Jiao Gonghan, the Fengzhou assassin history, as the envoy who is more loyal to the Wu family among the four envoys in the north, has many contradictions with the other three envoys, and the four envoys in the north, this Jiao Gonghan is the most powerful, and naturally has been looking for opportunities to weaken the other envoys.

Now it is natural to see that Ruan Shoujie wants to form an alliance with the Qi people, and he is afraid that he will not be able to restrain him in the future, so he makes up his mind to kill him.

Obviously, among Ruan Shoujie's cronies, there were already traitors who had been bought by Jiao Gonghan, and Ruan Shoujie left Wuning Cave to come to Wu'e Tucheng to get married, which was not only known by Jiao Gonghan, but also became a good opportunity for Jiao Gonghan to attack Ruan Shoujie.

It was the Fengzhou barbarians who attacked, no wonder some barbarians, and they were still wearing armor, after all, there was a bit of a shadow of a regular army.

Lu Ning rubbed his nose, this play seems to be getting more and more complicated.

Many things involve the whole body, this is a dynamic world, and its development and change are not expected by yourself.

"Vomit", Shopkeeper Qiu ran out of the dense forest, his face was pale and terrible, and he knelt on the ground retching.

Just now, he was naturally arrested by Wanyan Xiaohua to be an interpreter.

The captive who was knocked down by Lu Ning and dragged all the way with a rope hanging from his waist was really tortured by Wanyan Xiaohua, like a bloody person, if it wasn't for the extreme fear of being concocted by the terrible little guy in the same way, and afraid of the middle of the translation, he would have fainted in fright, but under the high level of mental tension and fear, he really didn't faint.

In fact, Shopkeeper Qiu has never seen such a scene, the captive is just a dagger across his limbs, and the blood is a little too much, in the eyes of Shopkeeper Qiu, it seems that the person has been skinned.

Lu Ning has seen Yan Xiaohua subduing the enemy, because the little girl knows that she doesn't have enough strength, and it's okay to kill people, but for example, to subdue the captives and ask questions, for the sake of insurance, she can only make the captives lose the ability to resist with their hands and feet, which seems to be more cruel, and often makes the captives die of excessive blood loss in the end.

"I heard the movement, and chased after me again!" Lu Ning frowned slightly, stretched out his hand, and Wanyan Xiaohua hurriedly sent the bow and crossbow on his back.

……

The black smoke has not yet cleared, and in the village, there are some bloody corpses, not a single living person can be seen, and many grass huts have been burned down.

Lu Ning stood on a big tree at the entrance of the village, looking at Wu'e Tucheng from afar.

"Escaped" overnight, of course, on the way to "escape", those Fengzhou barbarians were almost killed one by one because of the scattered pursuit.

Lu Ning and the others even captured the prisoners, pointed out the direction, and came to Wu'e Land.

In the northern part of Annam, a rare plain with fertile land, it seems that it has just been looted, and the nearby villages have been destroyed.

Standing on the treetops, looking at the direction of Wu'e Tucheng a few miles away, Lu Ning frowned even more, and then jumped down gently.

Shopkeeper Qiu sat aside in despair, since he brought him, he intended to be a translator, and after asking about things, he couldn't leave it alone, so in the "escape", Lu Ning brought this extra burden.

Sitting against the big tree, Wanyan Xiaohua slowly trimmed her nails with a sharp scimitar, she didn't have to worry about anything, and she didn't have to think about what to do next, everything was at the master's command.

Li Yanniang's body was full of mud, extremely embarrassed, at this time she fell in the mud, without any image, that is, her pretty face was also stained with slightly disgusting yellow soup, last night in a stinky puddle in the dense forest, she once stumbled and fell in.

Lu Ning paced, and the gate of Wu'e Tucheng was closed at this time, and dense hemp flags were hung at the head of the city.

The barbarian customs in the north of Annam show that only when the largest head dies, the whole city (walled) will be hung with hemp flags.

What does this reveal?

First of all, Wu'e City was not breached by Jiao Gonghan; Second, could it be that Ruan Shoujie is dead?

If Ruan Shoujie died, and Wu'e Tucheng was not attacked by Jiao Gonghan, it would be a great joy, and the conflict that broke out in the northern part of Annam naturally made southern Xinjiang peaceful in a short period of time, and the people of Guangyuan could also get a chance to breathe and develop.

Isn't it possible to turn around on your own? After all, wasn't that what the purpose of the plan was when it came?

It's funny to think about, if your guess is true, but it doesn't take the slightest effort to make it, and the world is so wrong.

However, when you get to this Wu'e Tu City, you don't go in to see the situation inside? First, is Ruan Shoujie really dead? Second, as a Qi envoy to explain to his relatives, take a look at whether there is an opportunity to intervene in the affairs of northern Annan?

In particular, Lu Ning turned around and looked at the past, and the large area of farmland seemed to be very fertile.

"Xiaohua, I'll take Li Yanniang to call the city in a while, you wait here, don't say anything if I turn around, if I am allowed to enter the city, you will quickly return to Guangyuan Village and Wancheng Town, and mobilize the four battalions of Pioneer, Quanzhang, Xinrui 1st Battalion, and Xinrui 2nd Battalion to come here quickly, followed by the Giant Sword Battalion and the Xinrui 3rd Battalion."

The Giant Sword Battalion is all heavy infantry, and the march is slow, so it is necessary to transfer four battalions and 2,000 military horses first, and come on a rapid march, while the Giant Sword Battalion is accompanied by the three new battalions, and it can be a few days late.

The reason for sending a new battalion to accompany the Giant Sword Battalion is because the Giant Sword Battalion has a single military branch, and if it acts alone, it is afraid of suffering a big loss in the event of a brutal sneak attack, especially if the army does not approve the armor.

Although the northern barbarians are now afraid that they will be too busy to take care of themselves, and there is no warning of the Qi army's actions, the possibility of encountering a sneak attack is very small, but if they can be cautious, they should be as cautious as possible.

Many things, just in case, some unexpected fiascos in history, many of them are because of a certain situation in the future.

Over there, listening to Lu Ning's orders, Wanyan Xiaohua bowed down to receive the order.

Lu Ning walked over and patted the shopkeeper Qiu on the shoulder, "Old Qiu, if I can enter the city, you can also come to the city to call the door when you turn back, if you want to go back to Wancheng Town, go by yourself and ask for more blessings." ”

After Yan Xiaohua is like a loach, it doesn't hurt for her to go back by herself, but it's not okay to bring the cumbersome shopkeeper Qiu with her, and she can't encounter danger.

Shopkeeper Qiu was depressed, he didn't hear Lu Ning say anything at all, he just muttered blankly: "It's over, it's all over......" isn't it, all the goods are lost, and the savings for many years are not stopped, and there are many debts.

Lu Ning came to Li Yanniang's side again, "Will you rest for a while?" Wait a minute, follow me to the city of Wu'e to call the door. ”

I don't know if it's because I've been numb by being chased all the way, Li Yanniang seemed to be holding back her ruthlessness, biting her red lip, and stood up suddenly, "Let's go!" ”

Lu Ning coughed, thinking about her embarrassment this night, and said, "I've worked hard for you all the way, and when I return to the Northland, I'll let you go." ”

Li Yanniang didn't make a sound.
