With the escort of the army, coupled with the banner of the Liu family to open the way, the territory of the group was almost unimpeded, but because the team was bloated, it took a day and a half to see the Carter Fortress from a distance at noon.

The centurion, who escorted Liu Lei all the way, ran over and said, "Young Master, I can only send you here, and the rest of the road will depend on you."

No matter what the purpose of these people is, after all, they escorted Liu Lei and the others for a while, Liu Lei did not slack off to thank and return the gift, and then said to Xiao Cui on the side: "Take a gold coin and buy some wine for the brothers."

Xiao Cui nodded, took out a gold coin from his small pocket and handed it over, the centurion was flattered and waved his hand again and again, and said in a panic: "Don't don't, don't don't, big young master, don't need it, you really don't need to do this."

One gold coin is enough to cover two months' military salary for the centurion, and he doesn't want it, but he really doesn't dare.

Liu Lei knew his concerns, took the gold coin in Xiaocui's hand, grabbed the centurion's hand, stuffed it into his hand and said undoubtedly: "I asked you to accept it, you will accept it, I know you have concerns, but I also understand that you can't help yourself, besides, this money is not for you, it is for these brothers, it is not easy to pin your head to the waistband of your pants as a soldier outside, our Liu family should thank you, accept it"

The centurion looked down at the gold coin in his hand, and his heart was moved, no one had ever respected him so much in the past, even if it was the family of the Liu Mansion, he dared to yell at him, not to mention that the young master in front of him was still the eldest young master of the Liu family, the theoretical heir of the Liu family, and the future quasi-nobleman.

The centurion nodded heavily and said, "Okay, then I'll take it, and I'll take the brothers to thank the eldest young master for the reward." ”

Liu Lei didn't speak, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, although his heart hurts as soon as he spends money, but it is not a loss to make a good fate.

The centurion put the gold coins in his pocket, turned around and waved his hand, and the thirty-man team that had already assembled immediately turned around and walked back.

"Outside the fortress, there is a group of robbers in Fengbei Mountain, about two hundred people"

Just when the centurion and Liu Lei passed by, the centurion whispered without squinting.

Liu Lei saw the team walking away, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and then let the team move on.

Closer to the fortress, Liu Lei suddenly saw that there was also a small team on the official road ahead, marching in front of him, and looking at the route, he was also going to Carter Fortress, but this team was slower than Liu Lei and the others, and the team was chaotic from a distance.

Suddenly, Liu Lei saw that in the team in front of him, a black shadow suddenly rushed out, it should be a person, rushed down the official road and ran towards the woods, and then three more figures ran out of the team, shining silver in the sun.

Soldier? Liu Lei frowned, the silver light was obviously the reflection of the armor, and he saw that the soldiers behind him chased after him as if shouting something, but the figure in front of him ran faster. It was the three soldiers who stopped, and when they got closer from taking off the things on their backs, Liu Lei vaguely saw that it was a bow and arrow.

With the three arrows fired, the figure fell to the ground crookedly, and when he saw the man fall, the team in front of him suddenly rioted, and many soldiers began to bounce and suppress.

"Stop" came from the front of his team, Li Tianlong's shout, the convoy hurriedly stopped in place, and everyone Liu Lei saw saw it, and they all looked at it.

"Uncle Li, what's going on?"

Seeing Li Tianlong riding over, Liu Lei asked.

"I don't know, but it looks like I'm escorting someone"

Li Tianlong shook his head and said.

"Let's go, go over and have a look," Liu Lei said.

Li Tianlong hurriedly asked someone to lead a horse, Liu Lei turned over on the horse, and instructed the family who led the horse: "You go quickly, call back the soldiers who escorted us just now, they haven't gone far yet."

After receiving Liu Lei's instructions, the family hurriedly rode back and forth to call someone.

Li Tianlong said with a puzzled face: "Young Master, who are you?" ”

Liu Lei looked at the chaotic team in front of him and said, "Be prepared, let's go."

Li Tianlong called two more guards, followed over, and the four people soon came, next to the chaotic team, Liu Lei could hear the sound of loud scolding in the distance.

Getting closer, Liu Lei saw that the ragged people who obviously accounted for the majority of the team had clashed with the escorted army, and many soldiers had already pulled out their waist knives.

"People from the Zhuge family?" Li Tianlong on the side suddenly spoke.

"What?" Liu Lei didn't understand and asked.

Li Tianlong rode over and said: "Young Master, look, the armor of our Liu family's soldiers is silver, you see that the armor of this team of soldiers is gray, and the helmet is also tied with golden satin, this is the Zhuge family, I wonder how these people ran to our family's territory?" ”

Liu Lei of the Zhuge family also knew that Zhuge Tian, the head of the family, was also a small nobleman, his territory was twice as large as the Liu family, and he was the neighbor to the north of the Liu family, and his relationship with the Liu family was not good, and there were several conflicts.

When the team in front saw Liu Lei and others coming, a group of soldiers greeted them and shouted, "Who is it?" Stand"

Liu Lei and the others grabbed the reins, and Li Tianlong showed the logo and banner of the Liu family before he went out, and replied loudly: "Young Master of the Liu family, Liu Lei again, let your stewards come and talk back!" ”

A soldier hurriedly ran back to report, and after a while, a centurion who also ran over from the team said to Liu Lei a little arrogantly: "The Zhuge family is ordered by the Heavenly Riding City to escort the displaced people out of the country, please avoid." ”

Liu Lei couldn't help but be angry when he heard his words, you have blocked the road, how can you avoid it?

But when Liu Lei heard what the team leader said, he was forced to suppress his anger by the order of the Heavenly Riding City, and said coldly: "Escort the homeless? I'll see."

After saying that, he grabbed the horse's belly and walked forward, and several other people hurriedly followed.

The centurion was furious and was about to step forward to stop him, but Li Tianlong on the side had already held the spear in his hand and stared at him, and at the same time, a faint fighting light emanated from his body.

The centurion hesitated, and didn't dare to really clash with Liu Lei, so he had to take someone to follow.

By this time, the commotion in the ranks had been brought under control, and the soldiers were armed with steel knives to force the rioters back, and about a dozen people were dragged out with knives on their necks.

I saw that the clothes of these escorted people were in tatters, there were men and women, old and young, all dirty, with vegetable faces, all of them were barefoot, and many people were oozing blood, when they saw Liu Lei coming over, they all cast hostile and hateful eyes, of course, most of them were aimed at the centurion of the Zhuge family, Liu Lei and others were just incidental.

At this time, the person who was shot had been dragged back by the legs of the two soldiers, and there was another commotion in the team, and the frightened Li Tianlong hurriedly protected Liu Lei.

"Brother! You don't want to die."

A heart-rending shout came out, and the more than ten people who were held by steel knives around their necks, one of them broke free at once, and his neck was cut by a knife, and he didn't care. threw himself on the corpse, hugged the corpse and wept bitterly, even though the soldiers punched, kicked, and whipped.

When Liu Lei saw this scene, he only felt a wave of anger burning in his chest, pointing to the scene in front of him and shouting angrily at the centurion of the Zhuge family: "What's going on?"

The centurion of the Zhuge family glanced at it and said disdainfully: "Escort and run away halfway, kill."

Sou......

As soon as the centurion's words came out, he heard a sharp sound of breaking wind, and before he could react, a spear was already stuck in front of his feet, only a little distance away from him.

Hula......

The surrounding soldiers immediately surrounded him.

Li Tianlong, the initiator, squinted his eyes and said to the centurion without caring at all: "Listen, this is the territory of the Liu family, and now it is the first heir of the Liu family who is asking you, the eldest young master Liu Lei, do you remember?"

Seeing the cold light in Li Tianlong's eyes, the centurion of the Zhuge family swallowed and spit, motioned for the soldiers to retreat, and replied a little respectfully: "Back to the words of the eldest young master, Tianqi City has jurisdiction over the Shen family of Yufeng Town, and the city lord's mansion often cancels the identity and territory of the nobles, and the civilians who have no territory are already homeless people without land and family owners, and this group of homeless people has entered the territory of our Zhuge family, and the head of my family has asked the city lord's house to expel these people."

Saying that, he took out a document from his arms, Liu Lei had also read the official document of the City Lord's Mansion at home before, and he was sure that it was true, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
