In recent days, the weather has become warmer and warmer, and the strong spring mood has awakened the city that has been nesting for a winter, and the green trees are new, the grass and flowers are lush, and even the birds and insects are singing.

Outside the Zhengyang Gate, there is an endless stream of people, cars and horses.

Liu Sen drove out of the city slowly with a carriage, and not long after, he saw several knights spurring their horses on.

The tall and slender man in the middle of the horse was Yu Qian's adopted son Yu Kang, he glanced at the carriage passing by, and suddenly pulled the reins, dragging the chestnut horse alive and flying up.

"Lil—"

Yu Kang turned his horse's head and asked in a loud voice, "But Gongzi Chen?" ”

It turned out that he left in a hurry yesterday, and he just asked Chen Xian to go to the camp to look for him, but when he arrived at the camp in the evening, he thought that his father seemed to value the scholar a lot...... It seems that I am not sincere enough to go only once, should I also learn from Liu Xuande?

So he led a few guards early in the morning and prepared to come to the door for the second time, but he didn't know that the coachman he saw passing by on the road looked familiar, and after thinking about it, it turned out to be the coachman he had seen at Chen Xian's house yesterday......

The carriage slowly stopped, the curtain was lifted from the inside, and the scholar poked his head out and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, it's early!" ”

It is difficult to leave the Modao Qiujiang, and the boat will be Chang'an tomorrow.

The hardest thing in life is parting.

Especially for Chen Xian and Lu Xiaochai, who are now dependent on each other, you and me.

The woman looked at the lover in front of her tenderly, stretched out her white fingers, gently helped him with the free scarf on his forehead, and then took a step back, raised her head slightly, looked over, pursed her lips and said: "Official, you must be more careful......"

Chen Xian smiled slightly, but saw that Lu Xiaochai's eyes were already slightly red, so he pretended to be right, raised his hand and saluted her: "Don't worry, chief!" Guaranteed success of the mission! ”

The corners of Lu Xiaochai's mouth raised, and he smiled reluctantly.

Hearing Yu Kang greeting him not far away, Chen Xian scratched his head and promised, "I promise to come back completely...... Marry you! ”

Lu Xiaochai pursed his lips and nodded, and then instructed Su Xin, who was standing on the side and watching coldly: "Su Zhuangshi, although my official can write some poems and songs, he is loyal and honest, not good at words, and his heart is so kind, I am afraid that he is easy to be bullied, so I will ask you a lot along the way......"

Su Xin's heart is full of thunder, if this guy is loyal and honest and not good at words, I'm afraid there will be no sinister and treacherous people in the world! As for being kind-hearted...... Can this be with Chen Xian? He can use the unconscionable method of throwing a hornet's nest into the cave......

Being bullied...... I've got to watch this guy and don't bully others!

But when he saw Lu Xiaochai's serious look, he could only clench his fists and respond: "He is our guest, I will naturally protect him!" ”

"Boom—" The hoofs thundered.

On the official road, passers-by and horses avoided on both sides, and after a while, they saw more than 500 horsemen rolling up billowing smoke and dust, whistling south.

Horseback riding was not difficult for Chen Xian, and equestrianism was a noble sport in later generations, and he also had contact with it from time to time, after all, it has become the first choice of many upper-class people to negotiate business in the racecourse......

Although Yu Kang only brought 500 cavalry, these people were the elite of the five military camps guarding Kyoto, and the armor of soldiers and horses was the most elite of the Ming army at the moment.

The hosta petal bright iron helmet, the long armor of the lotus lock, the iron of the heart, the rib guard, and the arm cover are all available, plus the mighty and majestic war horse, compared with the one hundred and ten soldiers brought by Liu Baihu in Shanghai County, it is like a flower child......

Hangzhou is about 500 miles away from Chuzhou, although this cavalry galloped on horseback, day and night, but because the knight's clothing was quite heavy, he could only camp in Jinhua for a night, and the next evening was regarded as passing through the crooked mountain road to the Jinyun territory of Chuzhou.

Yu Kang estimated that there were still seventy or eighty miles away from Lishui, the destination of this trip, so he arranged to camp in Jinyun early for repair, and prepared to set off for Lishui County tomorrow to meet Liuhua, who was stationed there.

As the intersection of Zhejiang and Fujian, there are many fewer merchants and passers-by than in Zhejiang on weekdays, and the state capital is mountainous, and there are more than 10 large and small mountains such as Huangbi Mountain, Cuiwei Mountain, and Yiyin Mountain in the surrounding 30 miles of Jinyun County alone, so that the official road is obviously not as smooth as in Zhejiang.

It's night, lit bonfires, surrounded by mountains, and Jinyun County in the distance looks like a lonely giant.

Chen Xian staggered to the no-man's land next to him - riding a horse for two consecutive days really made him suffer a lot, and his crotch still hurt at the moment.

He was followed by two silent people, Su Xinqi and Wei Qingqing.

When the sound by the bonfire became more and more difficult to hear, Chen Xian turned around, looked at Su Xinqi, and raised his eyebrows: "Do you really want to leave now?" ”

Su Xinzhi nodded: "I have already arrived in the territory of Chuzhou, and I may encounter it at any time, I am not willing to draw a knife against them for you, nor am I willing to draw a knife against you for them." ”

"But......" Chen Xian frowned, leaned his body against the pine tree behind him, and asked, "Huang ...... What about the people who please me? Didn't you say you wanted to invite me over? ”

The corners of Su Xinxi's mouth raised slightly, but his face suddenly changed, and the sword on his waist was unsheathed, and in the next moment, he exchanged hands with a person who attacked in the dark.

"Zheng-" The two steel knives collided together with a screeching sound.

The attacker wore a waist-length armor with fish scales, a pointed red tasseled helmet on his head, and a bow and quiver hanging from his waist sword.

Chen Xian fixed his eyes and saw that it was Yu Kang, who was still sitting around the fire with the soldiers.

Yu Kang's face turned a little red due to the hand-to-hand fight of Shicai, a pair of tiger eyes stared at Su Xinxuan in front of him, the right hand holding the knife trembled slightly, and he shouted coldly: "I have long felt that you don't look like an ordinary guard, but I didn't expect you to collude with the rebels!" ”

Su Xinqi glanced at Chen Xian sideways, and before he could speak, the latter immediately waved his hand and stood up and said, "Brother Yu, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" ”

"Huh?" Yu Kang only felt that the person in front of him was a fierce enemy he had never met in his life, the speed of the knife and the strength of the foot were simply the peak, and he was ready to open his mouth to call his subordinates to besiege this person, at this moment when he heard Chen Xian speak, he frowned and asked: "Okay, this person mixed into my military camp, definitely to find out information for that Ye Zongliu, do you know ......?"

"No, no-" Chen Xian smiled bitterly twice, waved his hand and explained: "This Brother Su is actually my benefactor. ”

Yu Kang was stunned, he caught a glimpse of Chen Xian's face as if he was being coerced, so he frowned and said, "Benefactor? ”
