Shan Zhongze's expression changed slightly, his face was complicated, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly knelt down towards Shan Zhongze, and said in a low voice: "Tonight's trip is destined to be uneven, and the hardships and dangers during it are unpredictable. The meaning of the subordinates is to hope that the eldest princess will wait here, and wait for the subordinates to send news to the eldest princess, and do not risk yourself. Among the aventurine, the damage to some troops is not enough to fear, that is, the damage to the subordinate person, it is not enough to be a problem, but if there is no eldest princess in Dongling, there will be chaos. Look at the eldest princess, listen to the words of your subordinates, and think twice. ”

The resolute voice is a bit resolute, but if you listen carefully, it is not difficult to hear a bit of anxiety and helplessness.

Sihan looked at him deeply, and his voice became extremely distant and low, "Tonight's trip, this palace has been a decision after thinking twice. ”

Shan Zhongze frowned, looking at Chao Sihan with a complicated face.

Sihan quietly met his gaze and continued: "If the person who attacked the palace yesterday is really related to the bandits on Phoenix Mountain, the palace will personally destroy its lair and restore the peace of the people in Jiangnan and the peace of Dongling." Moreover, yesterday's palace was attacked, because it was too light on the enemy, and now I made a special trip to go, but the palace didn't believe it, and the mountain bandits on Phoenix Mountain had no choice but to get this palace! Compensation"

Shan Zhongze's brows furrowed more and more, his thin lips opened, and he wanted to speak, but before he could speak, Sihan continued to speak, "The palace has made up its mind, and the king doesn't need to say much." The mountain bandits on the Phoenix Mountain should not be underestimated, because this trip to exterminate the palace is determined to be successful, and the slightest mistake will not be allowed. ”

Shan Zhongze's expression sank, and the helplessness on his resolute face was gradually replaced by the color of tenacity.

"The eldest princess will wait for a while, subordinates, and I will go and prepare a horse for the eldest princess."

After waiting for a while, Shan Zhongze lowered his head and spoke respectfully.

"Hmm." Sihan didn't say much, and responded in a low voice.

Shan Zhongze did not delay, immediately out of the tent, after a while, he had quickly returned, resolute and heavy Chao Sihan said: "Eldest princess, the fierce horse is ready, you can set off at this time." ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and handed a sword in front of Sihan.

Sihan reached out and took the sword. The green silk on his head has already been held competently, and the whole person looks fresh and capable.

"Let's go." She raised her eyes and stared at Shan Zhongze twice, and then said in a low voice, but before the end of the note fell, and before Shan Zhongze's reaction, she had already walked forward slowly.

When he got out of the tent, the sky outside had already darkened, not far away, the state official and several Jingwei were standing on one side, seeing Sihan come out, the state official immediately greeted him, and was about to speak, but before the words were spoken, Sihan had already boarded the carriage on the side very simply, and then pulled the reins and rode away.

In an instant, the whip landed on the horse's back, and the muffled sound of the skin and flesh trembling was greatly released in the silence of the night.

The governor's eyes trembled, and he immediately shut up.

In just a moment, Sihan had already ridden away, kicking and leaping, although his back was thin and trimmed, but it was straight, giving people a kind of majesty and coldness that could not be concealed at all.

The state officer was taken aback. In the past, I only heard that the eldest princess of Donglin dared to jump on the city wall in front of the enemy, such courage and courage can be called the daughter of a woman, and now I see her heroic posture again, the state official trembled, but I had to obey, the eldest princess of Donglin, really heroic, capable and profound, such a person, where is the golden branches and jade leaves in the deep palace, obviously like a powerful and not inferior to the man's iron-blooded person.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt shocked from the bottom of my heart.

When he came back to his senses, he saw that Shan Zhongze, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, didn't know when to ride his horse away, and this time in this tent place, there were only a few elite soldiers and the servants standing on the side.

The state official was a little nervous, and he didn't dare to order these elite soldiers from the imperial city, so he had to cough at the officials standing on the side, and commanded, "The eldest princess has something to go out, and the camp where the eldest princess stays here, we need to cheer up and guard it." ”

The officer's face tightened, he nodded hurriedly, and stood upright.

It was probably because the sky was very good today, and the weather was clear, so tonight's sky was full moon hanging, as clear as snow.

Sihan rode forward, full of coldness, but in a short time, Shan Zhongze had already caught up with her, and then walked in front of her, leading the way for her.

When they entered the camp of the 3,000 elite soldiers who had to be dispatched, Shan Zhongze and Sihan rode their horses and stopped.

At this time, the three thousand elite soldiers were already ready to go, and all of them were already standing by the horses in a neat and well-organized manner.

After Shan Zhongze told Sihan's identity, the elite soldiers were stunned, and then hurriedly knelt down and called the eldest princess Chitose.

Sihan's pupils shrank, and he said in a low voice: "The country is in trouble, bandits are rampant, wait, are you willing to go with the palace to suppress bandits and destroy thieves and protect the family and defend the country?" ”

The elite soldiers nodded one after another, and said in a strong voice: "Yes, willing!" ”

Sihan's voice was slightly raised, "The bandits on Phoenix Mountain are disturbing my people's hearts, damaging my Donglin Gang Ji, and even have the intention of opposing my Dongling. Although he does not force himself to kill the enemy, if he can really kill the enemy, or even break through the lair of thieves, this palace will definitely have a heavy reward! ”

As soon as these words fell, the morale became more and more resolute.

Sihan didn't say anything more, turned his eyes and glanced at Shan Zhongze, then turned the horse's head and rode away.

When the moon is in the sky, the surrounding hall is bright, and you can ride a horse forward without torches.

Along the way, thousands of troops galloped and the formation was strong.

Not long after, Sihan turned her eyes to Shan Zhongze, who had been riding a horse and followed her, and said in a low voice: "The vanguard who went up the mountain to break through with you and the palace first is ready?" ”

Shan Zhongze nodded respectfully, "It's already divided." The vanguard team, a total of 500 people, including 100 archers and 400 outstanding Jingwei, will go up the mountain to break through with the eldest princess and Weichen when the time comes. ”

Si Han nodded, "The outstanding Jingwei go up the mountain, although there are many dangers, but their ability should always be better than the rest, it is easy to break through the mountain, and it is not easy to be hit by bandits." ”

As soon as these words fell, he stopped talking, patted the horse's belly slightly with his feet, and the speed of running became more and more amazing.

A line of mighty gallops.

After moving forward for a long time, in a cold and resolute atmosphere, Shan Zhongze once again made a slightly complicated voice, "Eldest princess, less than a mile ahead is the foot of Phoenix Mountain. ”

"Hmm." Sihan replied in a low voice and nodded at him.

Shan Zhongze glared at her, and then ordered to stop the horse.

In just a moment, thousands of well-trained horses listened.

In an instant, there was a sudden silence around him, and in the silence, there was a bit of dullness and heaviness that made the scalp tingle.

Sihan stopped his horse and turned his eyes to look at Shan Zhongze, "Three thousand elite soldiers, five thousand pioneers, one thousand followed, and then five hundred people followed, and finally followed up the mountain." And the remaining 1,000 elite soldiers are around the foot of the mountain, and if there is any trouble on the mountain, they will go up the mountain to rescue, and if the mountain is safe, they will pursue the thieves who have escaped down the mountain. ”

Shan Zhongze was slightly stunned, and then nodded respectfully.

Sihan stopped talking, dismounted very simply, and then walked forward slowly without saying a word.

Shan Zhongze acted extremely quickly, and in just a moment, he had already ordered and dispatched the three thousand elite soldiers.

Immediately, he led five hundred elite soldiers to follow Sihan, and the group was extremely fast, without saying a word, but when they approached the foot of Phoenix Mountain, everyone's footsteps unconsciously lightened a little.

Along the way, the road below was extremely rough, but I never encountered a single cart or horse carrying supplies up the mountain.

And when I went up the mountain quietly, I didn't meet anyone, but when I climbed a third of Phoenix Mountain, I looked through the cracks in the trees, and I saw that not far overhead, there was a slight light.

Sure enough, there are people.

Sihan's pupils shrank, and his eyes looked towards Shan Zhongze.

Shan Zhongze glanced at her, didn't say a word, just turned back to the elite soldiers behind him and said in a low voice: "Put it lightly under your feet, before you reach the old nest, you must not startle the snake too much." ”

Shan Zhongze was afraid that the movement would be too big, provoking the bandits on the mountain to flee at night, so that the bandits were scattered, and it was not easy to fight.

Sihan knew this, then turned around and continued to climb up with his hands and feet.

The bright moonlight was obscured a lot by the branches, and the road under my feet was also slightly dim.

This mountain road must be an ordinary person walking, but it is extremely smooth, but if you are not careful, you are prone to slip and fall.

All the way up, the group of people are very quiet, when they are close to the bright place with fire, but they see that not far above the head, there is a bonfire, beside the fire, there are five strong men holding big knives walking back and forth, a pair of slightly fierce and abrupt eyes, then scan around, cautious precautions.

Sihan's pupils shrank, and he stopped and stopped.

Shan Zhongze and the others behind him also stopped, and at this time, several archers stepped forward lightly, stood a little behind Sihan, and suddenly pulled their bows.

In an instant, the strings and arrows came out, and the violent sound of breaking the air was extraordinarily silent in the dark night.

In an instant, there were a few swishing sounds, and several strong men beside the brazier above their heads suddenly reacted, and they immediately wanted to dodge and dodge, but the sword had just right to pierce through the heart, and they trembled all over, and finally couldn't even shout, and fell to the ground heavily.

Sihan's expression moved slightly, and he turned his eyes to look at the few archers behind him, and his heart fluctuated.

It's just that these archers are really powerful in archery, so it's no wonder that Shan Zhongze was selected as the vanguard.

However, I thought that I could continue to go up so quietly, and even smash into the bandits' lair silently, but unexpectedly, when I got to the mountainside of Phoenix Mountain, there were more than half of the bandits waiting on the mountainside, and just after the archer's sharp arrows broke through the air, although a few bandits fell by arrows, but there were also a few strong men who were agile enough to dodge, and even, in the swaying light, the strong man with a strong figure and a beard just stood up and stabilized his body, and he had already shouted, "Someone trespassed on the mountain!" Kill! Kill! ”

In an instant, lights suddenly lit up all over the mountain, and suddenly there was a cry in the middle of the mountain.

But at this moment, a boulder suddenly rolled above his head.

She didn't have time to think about it, so she immediately dodged away. However, the soles of his feet were not yet fully steady, and a boulder came above his head.

A steady stream of stones, like rain, poured down, dense and terrifyingly thick.

Sihan's face was cold, but his heart was extremely calm, and his mouth was low and exhaled, "Be careful to avoid it, find the right time to rush up." Pick-up"

"Yes." Below, Jingwei's voice suddenly sounded respectfully, although his voice was slightly tight, but there was no trembling or fear.

Sihan took the time to glance down, only to see the boulder rolling down, but those elite guards were all agile, and most of them had never been hit by the rocks.

She gradually relaxed a little in her heart, and then seized the time and stepped forward.

The rocks are rolling down intensively, and the momentum is huge.

Sihan kept his eyes on and walked up steadily and sensitively.

When he got to the bonfire in front of him, Si Han suddenly drew the saber at his waist, and the tip of the sword slammed towards those bandits.

In an instant, the bandit hurriedly drew his sword and resisted coldly.

The corners of Sihan's eyes narrowed slightly, the long sword in his hand flew wantonly, the sword was fatal, and in just an instant, several thieves all fell, and the strong man with the beard fled quickly, rushing towards the mountain.

The moon shines brightly, casting slightly through the cracks in the trees.

All around, the firelight was everywhere, and the shouts shook the sky, but most of the rolling stones had been exhausted, and those bandits, after all, only screamed and jumped down from the dense forest on the mountain.
