Chapter 44: The Horse Bandits Attack

Wan Ting was locked in the room by Zhou Qi, and her mood was extremely bad, lying on the bed and tossing and turning. Huanting and Zhou Qi are twins and grew up together since childhood, but because Zhou Qi is the only prince, everyone obeys him, at least on the surface, so Huanting has also listened to her brother the most since she was a child, and Zhou Qi has always tried her best to protect her sister. But since a few months ago, when the emperor suddenly announced that Wan Ting would marry far away, everything has changed: Zhou Qi didn't say a word, the queen didn't say a word, and the ministers didn't say a word. Wan Ting felt that she was alone, from a little princess held in the palm of her hand to a lonely person, Wan Ting didn't even want to see the emperor, she felt that he had abandoned herself. She hid in her brother's box and went out of the capital, thinking that her brother in Huizhou could protect herself, face herself, and change her fate, but in the end it was in vain, nothing, no one supported her, no one sympathized with her, and no one even liked her.

The next day, Wan Ting was already dead, looking at the guards in the courtyard, she knew that Zhou Qi would never face her again.

"Princess, let's eat some food first, we have to hurry in a while."

Wan Ting glanced at the chain and didn't say a word. Zhou Qi and Li Bo stood by the window of the study and didn't say a word. The two brothers and sisters just glanced at each other through the window, and Wan Ting suddenly regained her arrogance, tried her best to hold back her tears, made up her mind, and left the prefect's yamen under the gaze of everyone.

What everyone doesn't know is that at this time, a group of people from outside the city of Huizhou have gathered in Shili Pavilion outside the city, and they are about to rush into the city just waiting for an order.

Wan Ting didn't eat anything, and after running for a while, the horse felt hungry, and the weather was hot, so Wan Ting ordered to rest in Sanli Pavilion. Chain and He Ping escorted Wan Ting with the other two guards, knowing that she was in a bad mood and didn't dare to say anything. Standing around the Sanli Pavilion and inspecting it, he felt that there was no danger, so he sat at the table next to Wan Ting, carefully observing the movements around him. There were only a few of them in the entire Sanli Pavilion, and the surroundings were unusually quiet, and even the birds in the trees did not chirp. He Ping has been guarding the palace, although he has not been trained on the battlefield, he also has a sense of foreboding in his heart. Suddenly, a carriage ran over the horizon, and He Ping quickly pulled out his saber, and he was already standing up. Wan Ting was originally thinking about things by herself, but she was really startled when she saw He Ping react like this, and she also turned around to look at the place He Ping was looking at.

Chain Chain, He Ping and the two guards surrounded Wan Ting, watching the carriage from far to near, and the five of them held their breath. There was a man sitting in the carriage, shouting, "The horse bandits are coming, the horse bandits are coming!" The man didn't get off his horse, and quickly passed by Sanli Pavilion and ran in the direction of Huizhou City.

Wan Ting stood up, "What horse bandits?" ”

"Don't be afraid, princess, hurry up and get on the horse and hurry back to Huizhou!"

The five of them turned over and got on their horses, and also headed in the direction of Huizhou City, without running two steps, the chain grabbed the reins, "Princess, princess!" ”

Everyone grabbed the reins, "What's wrong?" ”

"Princess, the slave has to go and see."

"What are you going to do?" Wan Ting was already very nervous.

"Princess, if this horse bandit enters the city, the adults will not be able to explain it!"

"How could a horse bandit enter the city? Don't mess around! ”

"Princess, if they don't go into the city, it's best for the slaves to come back when they go to see it, and if they come in this direction, the servants can also report to the adults." Chain glanced at everyone, "Lord He, you escort the princess back first, and I'll come back when I go." As soon as the chain pulled the reins, he turned his horse's head and ran back.

"Hey, chain, chain."

"Princess, now let's hurry back to the city and find an adult to send someone, quick!" The four of them rode their horses and whipped all the way to a place one mile away from the city gate, and Huizhou City was in front of them. In the distance, Wan Ting saw a person riding alone, the figure was very familiar, and when she walked in, she finally saw that it was Chen Mingyang.

"Chen Mingyang!" The two horses kicked by mistake, and Wan Ting shouted, "Why are you going?" ”

Chen Mingyang had already seen Huanting, and he didn't want to deal with her the last thing in his heart, so he didn't agree when he heard Huanting shouting, and ran forward.

"Hey, Chen Mingyang!" Wan Ting grabbed the horse, turned the horse's head and only chased Chen Mingyang, "Chen Mingyang, come back, come back quickly, it's dangerous!" ”

"Miss, Miss!" He Ping saw that this situation was really chaotic, "You, you hurry up and inform the adults, you and I will protect Miss together." ”

Wan Ting was skilled in horseback riding, and after a while, she caught up with Chen Mingyang and went hand in hand with Chen Mingyang, "Chen Mingyang, I'll talk to you!" Dangerous! ”

Chen Mingyang finally glanced at Wan Ting, and with a wave of the horsewhip, he sped up. He Ping and the guards were in hot pursuit, and after a while, they passed through the Sanli Pavilion and headed in the direction of the Shili Pavilion.

"Chen Mingyang, Chen Mingyang! There's a bandit ahead, stop! ”

"Aren't you a bandit? Don't follow me, I'm in danger if you follow me! ”

"Chen Mingyang, there are really horse bandits ahead, I didn't lie to you!"

Chen Mingyang took the lead, he hurried to get a prescription for his grandfather, and he didn't want to delay time when he was here. The farther she ran, the more anxious Wan Ting became, "Chen Mingyang, stop quickly!" Chen Mingyang! ”

At this time, the chain had seen a group of horse bandits, all riding on tall horses, with a long knife on their backs. Chain hid his horse and hid quietly in a dense forest, behind the tree, Chain poked his head out and counted the number of people, there were more than a hundred or so people. A group of people seemed to be discussing something, and Chain hurriedly stepped back, mounted his horse and ran back.

The chain ran, the observation post of the horse bandits saw it, alarmed the entire team of horse bandits, and the big boss who was still discussing the matter just now ordered to march to Huizhou City.

Yu Nian and his cronies hung a black lantern at the gate of the house, Zhang Hai also ordered people to hang a black lantern, which was discussed in advance, only look at the black lantern and not look at people, Yu Nian has sent people to the gate of the city, waiting for the horse bandits to kill.

Chen Mingyang and Huanting are still neck and neck, and they are already running in the opposite direction with the chain. The chain saw Huanting riding a horse and competing with Chen Mingyang, and was shocked, "Miss, Miss, the horse bandits are coming, run!" ”

Chen Mingyang had been looking at Wan Ting, looking forward and shouting at the two of them to run, followed by a team of people, rushing towards him and Wan Ting sideways. Chen Mingyang and Wan Ting's horses were too fast, and it was too late to hold the reins, so they staggered with the chain first, and they were less than ten meters away from the big horizontal team. Wan Ting's heart was flustered, and it was too late to turn around, and suddenly Chen Mingyang grabbed Wan Ting's arm and let her lie on his horse. As soon as the two teams clashed, Chen Mingyang drew his sword and swung it left and right twice, blocking the horse bandit's machete, fortunately, the horse bandit was sideways with the two teams, Chen Mingyang and Wan Ting actually rushed over with the speed of the horse! And Wan Ting's horse was slashed by the horse bandits, and Poofong fell to the ground, at this time He Ping and the guards also clashed with the horse bandits, and the two fought with the horse bandits.

Before Wan Ting could react to what was happening, she looked up and saw that a horse bandit was chasing after her, "Run, it's coming!" ”

"Get on your stomach!" Chen Mingyang shouted, and Chen Mingyang quickly whipped up his horse and galloped on the official road. The speed of the two horses came down, and the horse bandits behind came to the front after a while, and slashed at Chen Mingyang with a knife, Chen Mingyang always walked this road, knowing that there was a crooked neck tree here, and there was a path there. At the moment when the horse bandit cut him, Chen Mingyang's horse turned, and the knife slashed down Chen Mingyang's left elbow, and the horse bandit grabbed the reins and chased after him.

Wan Ting was lying on the back of the horse, and she was about to vomit, but when she saw the horse bandit coming again, she was angry. He took out a slingshot from his waist, and with great difficulty, took aim, and a stone flew out and hit the bandit in the face. Chen Mingyang originally fled on a horse, but when he heard a pop behind him, he slowly stopped to see that the horse bandit fell to the ground, but he did not die, and it was difficult to stand up the horse. Chen Mingyang hurriedly turned over and dismounted, came to the horse bandit with a sword, and put the sword on the horse bandit's neck, "Don't move!" ”

The horse bandit covered his face, and he didn't slow down. Wan Ting finally got off the horse, held the slingshot and retched twice against the trunk of the tree next to her.

"Come and help!"

Wan Ting saw Chen Mingyang pointing at the horse bandit with a sword, and she was angry, and came up with a kick and kicked the horse bandit to the ground.

"The woman spares her life, the woman spares her life."

Chen Mingyang pulled Wan Ting, "It's done, hurry up and tie him up." ”

"What are you tying him up for! Just kill it! ”

Chen Mingyang glared at Huanting and moved forward. At this moment, there was movement in the grass, and Wan Ting hurriedly raised her slingshot, "Come out quickly!" We see you! Chen Mingyang also took the arm of the horse bandit and observed nervously. A man staggered out of the grass, "Don't hit me, don't hit me, I am, I just saw the bandits hiding here, I'm a good person." ”

Wan Ting breathed a sigh of relief, still holding a slingshot at the man, "You, you go and tie up the horse bandit." ”

"Huh? I? Oh, I don't dare. The person who was hiding was also the appearance of a farmer, how dare he do such a thing, hurry up and give Wan Ting a look, "You spare me!" ”

Wan Ting's hand holding the slingshot was even harder, "Hurry up!" ”

Chen Mingyang couldn't stand it anymore, "Forget it, you go, I'll tie it up!" ”

The farmer was pardoned, and quickly ran away. Wan Ting saw Chen Mingyang take off the bandit's shirt and tie him up, so she finally spoke, "Hmph, so you don't believe me!" Now you know! ”

Chen Mingyang was also embarrassed in his heart, "Let's take him to the post station not far from here, there are officials there, and hand him over to the officials there." ”

"Why don't you go back to Huizhou?"

Chen Mingyang glanced at Wan Ting, "Back to Huizhou?" Those horse bandits are going to Huizhou, and now Huizhou is uncertain what it will become! ”

Wan Tingleng paused, "Then I have to go back, my brother is still in Huizhou!" ”
