Kneel and beg for a flower collection!

Duan Zhong is fifteen years old, which is a very wonderful age, because in another year, he will be able to marry Su'er. So while Duan Zhong was packing up his things at the moment, he asked Su'er: "Do you want to go together?" ”

Su'er didn't answer Duan Chong's question, because the facts were in front of him, and what Duan Chong was packing up at the moment was not his own things, but Su'er's. Besides, the little master is leaving, can the maid go with him? Although she is an old maid, she is still a maid.

Duan Zhong received the same things in the package, and he didn't shy away from the personal things that the girl was in, so Su'er only lowered her head and blushed.

Duan Zhong sighed: "It may take a long time to go to the Central Plains this time. Maybe a year or two, maybe three or five years, maybe longer. ”

"Hmm." Su'er nodded. "Since the little master is going, Su'er will accompany him."

"Wait until next year, and I will pass you through the door in Liang Kingdom."

"Huh?" Duan Chong's words were very plain, as if they were justified. However, in Su'er's heart, it was turbulent. Because Su'er always thought that Duan Chong's words when he was ten years old were just a joke. Who knows that five years later, Duan Zhong still remembers it very clearly.

Duan Zhong sighed: "This journey will be very hard, I will work hard for you." With that, he put the packed package on the bed, turned around and walked out.

In the early spring of each year, the team of Dali to send tribute to the Liang State is about to set off. They were followed by a group of people who went to do business with them. Dali is rich in products, and many things are very popular in Liang country. Tea, gold and silverware, and some specialties of the white and Yi people can be sold at very high prices in the Central Plains. However, due to the extreme difficulty of leading to the Northern Liang after the division of the Liang State, they gradually only paid some tribute to the Southern Liang and traded with the others.

The convoy slowly marched on the official road, except for the dozen or so carriages in front loaded with tribute materials, followed by the merchants of Dali.

The tribute procession was accompanied by 500 soldiers from Dali, and the merchants of Dali only had to pay a small amount of silver to follow the convoy and be protected from the bandits along the way. So the original dozen carriages have become the current team of almost two hundred, which is really a bit scary.

Duan Chong's five carriages dragged at the back of the procession, slowly following the convoy. It's not that Duan Chong deliberately put on a show, but that Duan Chong's trip this time was secret, and no one else knew about it except for a few members of the royal family. On this trip, Duan Chong had a broken mouth with his emperor Lao Tzu, and finally even Dong Daxue moved out, so he obtained the consent of Emperor Lao Tzu and traveled abroad in the name of study tours.

To this end, Emperor Zhengkang also specially sent five royal guards to accompany him, led by Zhu Siwen, one of the four retainers of the Fan family. This is the person specially selected by Duan Chong, because Duan Chong feels that Zhu Siwen is more ...... Honest.

This time, except for Su'er and the other two maids, there were no other female dependents, and the rest of the more than ten people were all guards sent by Emperor Duanzhong.

Duan Zhong sat on the rickety carriage, felt a little dizzy in his head, and sighed: "I'm still not suitable for a carriage after all." In particular, it will take more than a month to sit here.

Zhu Siwen sat aside and said with a smile: "The little master is good to get used to." It's a little slow, but it's better than not having to sit at all. ”

Duan Zhong shook his head: "Our trip this time was originally very hidden, and following the tribute convoy was inevitably too public. And it's just too slow. Are there any shortcuts to copy? ”

Zhu Siwen thought for a while, nodded and said, "If you remember well, there is a mountain road near here, but it is a little rugged and difficult, but the distance is much faster." At least ten days earlier than the large team, they entered the border of Daliang. ”

Duan nodded his head: "Can the carriage go?" ”

"Yes...... Just ......"

"Just what? You can go and go. ”

"It's just that I'm afraid it won't be peaceful along the way. After the division of the Great Liang, many bandits went to the mountains between the Liang State and our Dali to set up a village, specializing in robbing the merchants passing by. Our tributary team is guarded by Dali's personal soldiers, so naturally we don't have to worry about safety, but if we leave the team, there is no guarantee of safety. ”

Duan Zhong sighed: "What is the purpose of raising you?" ”

—————————————————————————————————————————

Although Dali is like spring all year round, it is still a little chilly to walk on the mountain trails. Duan tightened the small leather jacket on his body and walked to the side of the road for a small relief. Although it was extremely indecent for the royal family to take a break on the side of the road, Duan Zhong didn't care about that.

The carriage was too bumpy, and Duan Zhong couldn't sit down, so he simply asked for a horse to ride by himself. Unhurriedly following Su'er's carriage, and chatting with Su'er from time to time about the curtain, it was also pleasant.

The carriage at the front was now empty, as Duan Zhong had originally sat in it. And the coachman Jiang Mingchen was a little lazy and drove the horse, humming a little song absentmindedly. He is a dignified master of the royal guards, but now he has a job of driving a carriage, even if he is driving the carriage of the little prince, he is more or less unhappy.

However, this royal guard is not just anyone. Because in addition to being strong in martial arts, the most important thing is to always be vigilant, even when you are in a bad mood.

So Jiang Mingchen smelled a hint of danger, and the grass in front of him seemed to move a few times, and the grass seemed a little low compared to the surroundings, as if it had been overpowered. The instincts of the royal guards told them that there were many people in ambush ahead. And this is a lot of numbers, which should be around sixty or seventy.

Jiang Mingchen "shouted", and the carriage suddenly listened, and the four carriages behind him also stopped. Duan Zhong rode to the front: "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang Mingchen jumped out of the carriage, but his eyes were always staring at the grass in front of him: "There is an ambush ahead." It should be a thief who robs money. ”

Duan Zhong was stunned and looked ahead. There was silence, and nothing was seen as such. And Zhu Siwen on the side also shook his head, after all, there is a difference between a retainer and a guard, and it is natural not to see it.

Jiang Mingchen continued: "According to my estimate, there are at least sixty or seventy people in ambush, and we only have ten. Although the guards who came with them were all elite, it was difficult to avoid casualties. And I don't know if there is any other support for this group of bandits. ”

Duan Zhong sighed, he didn't expect that he was so lucky, and he really met a bandit. If you are besieged, you will naturally not be afraid of your martial arts, but if you hurt Su'er, this sin will be great.

"If we retreat now, will it be possible?"

Jiang Mingchen shook his head: "These bandits set up an ambush to wait for us, naturally they want to reduce casualties, but if we suddenly turn around and retreat at this moment, these bandits will definitely rush out." ”

Duan Zhong sighed: "It looks like I can only fight." Glancing forward, "Where are they lying in ambush?" ”

Jiang Mingchen pointed ahead.

Duan nodded and motioned for all the guards to draw their weapons: "We are guarding here, you take care of the carriage, and don't let the female dependents be harmed." As he spoke, he climbed into the carriage and pulled out a ...... Slingshot to come.

Duan Chong's slingshot was not the slingshot used to fight flying chickens with Xiao Beiping and Xiao Zhengrong that day, but a slingshot that was several sizes bigger, even dinosaurs could hit it. I picked up a few fist-sized stones on the ground, pulled up my strength, and shot out of the grass not far away with a "boom".

Hearing two screams of "oops" and "oops" in the distance, Duan Zhong shook his head and said dissatisfiedly: "There are only two strings, and there are not as many as the water drifting, no, come again!" Saying that, another flying stone shot out, this time it was Sansheng screaming, Duan Chong smiled, yes, there is progress.

Duan Chong's stone shot out, and the thieves who were ambushed in the grass finally couldn't hold it anymore, and let out a pig's howl-like order, and saw seventy or eighty people suddenly gushing out of the originally quiet grass. This frightened Su'er and the other two maids who were watching the excitement in the carriage.

This grass is thirty or forty miles away according to the convoy, so our little prince can still shoot stones leisurely, and when these bandits rush to the front of the carriage, they have changed from the original sixty or seventy people to thirty or fifty people. Zhu Siwen touched the sweat on his forehead, obediently, this little master's slingshot is more powerful than a bow and arrow.

Duan Zhong threw away the slingshot, pulled out the sword in his waist, and said to Zhu Siwen: "You rush with me, and the rest guard the carriage." ”

Zhu Siwen was stunned: "Just two people rushing?" I'm going to die. However, before he could react, Duan Zhong had already rushed into the bandits. My ancestor, you can't have an accident, Zhu Siwen took a deep breath and followed Duan Zhong closely.

It is an extremely shameful thing to learn the sword of killing people for so many years, but you have not killed anyone. Therefore, the original swordsmanship was very powerful, but when it came to Duan Chong's hands, it seemed a little unusual. In Duan Zheng's words, Duan Zhong needed to sharpen his sword with some human blood.

Therefore, the sword in Duan Chong's hand showed no mercy and directly wiped the neck of the first thief. A column of blood shot out from the thief's neck and splashed on Duan Chong's face, a little fishy and a little salty. Then came the second, the third, the fourth......

Zhu Siwen was a little **, looking at Duan Chong, who was killing people in front of him, he couldn't understand that the little master was so powerful, even better than himself...... It's even more powerful. No, I shouldn't be as good as myself.

However, there is still a reason why Zhu Siwen can **, because no one can kill him, and everywhere Duan Zhong passed, he was killed with a sword, and he wiped his throat with great precision.

The remaining dozen or so thieves saw that the general situation was not good, and when they saw a little killing god, they didn't even have the courage to run. Qi Qi knelt on the ground and shouted for mercy.

And the guards who were originally extremely nervous by the carriage were also dumbfounded.

So Duan Zhong proudly held the blood-stained sword and pointed at the bandit kneeling on the ground: "It's really blind to your dog's eyes." ”

However, as soon as Duan Chong's voice fell, he heard an angry rebuke from the top of the mountain bag not far away: "Whose dog eyes are blind?" ”

Duan Zhong raised his head and saw more than a hundred bows and arrows pointing at him.
