On the official road from Xuzhou to Xi'an City, a group of hundreds of cavalry galloped, and in the middle of the cavalry team escorted five flags with the logo of Maofu, fluttering in the morning breeze.

The official road has long been paved with cement, and on the flat avenue, only the sound of dense horses' hooves is sounding, and there is no one in the four fields.

The curtain of the largest carriage was gently lifted, Chen Lan's pretty face was revealed, he looked around, and then asked the horseman: "Are you about to leave the boundary of Xuzhou?" ”

When the groom heard this, he hurriedly replied respectfully: "Madam, this has passed the boundary of Xuzhou, and now is the only way to enter Runing Mansion." This place is remote, and there is no one in the vicinity for three miles, so please go back to the carriage and sit down, we need to speed out of the wilderness. ”

Chen Lan nodded, returned to the carriage, and Hong Ziyan on the side asked a little anxiously, "Sister, how is it?" Is it almost there? ”

Chen Lan smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, sister, we have to go to Runing Mansion, we still have at least half a month on the road." ”

Hong Ziyan frowned, and suddenly felt a sense of boredom in her heart, and then began to retch.

Seeing this, Chen Lan's eyes flashed with a trace of envy, after arriving in Xuzhou, Hong Ziyan began to feel unwell, so they were delayed in Xuzhou City for two days. After the doctor's diagnosis, Hong Ziyan was actually pregnant.

This made Chen Lan very envious, and at the same time, she was also worried about why she was not pregnant, and she herself quietly found a doctor in Xuzhou to diagnose herself. However, nothing abnormal was found, and the doctor did not find anything wrong with Chen Lan's body, which made Chen Lan feel very confused.

"Sister, don't worry, you are pregnant now, you should pay more attention to your body, raise it with peace of mind, don't worry about these little things." Although Chen Lan was envious in his heart, he was also happy for Hong Ziyan's heartfelt words.

Pregnant people will always have inexplicable anxiety, especially a woman like Hong Ziyan who has no experience at all. But under Chen Lan's careful persuasion, she slowly stabilized.

The carriage continued to gallop, the flat road allowing the team to move at a rapid pace. Now that the army already knows that the second lady is pregnant, everyone does not dare to be careless.

For the sake of safety, Chen Lan had already sent people to Runing Mansion to send troops to meet him, and there were only a few hundred soldiers, so Chen Lan didn't feel so safe.

"Stop ......"

The galloping horses suddenly stopped in the midst of loud cheers, and nearly a hundred cavalry of the front army rode their horses to the official road in front of them and scattered around to stand on guard. The rest of the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army immediately surrounded and protected the five carriages.

After making sure that there was no abnormality around, more than a dozen Dongjiang Army soldiers stepped forward to remove the trunk of the tree in the middle of the road.

The four fields were silent, and the atmosphere was obviously a little wrong, and the half-human-high weeds in the wilderness swayed with the wind in the breeze. Just when the trunk of the tree was halfway removed, hundreds of villains suddenly rushed out of the weeds, each holding a steel knife in their hands, shouting and surrounding all the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army.

"Give me all your horses and wagons, or you will be splattered with blood." A deep roar rang out from behind the crowd.

Following the sound, I saw that the evil man automatically moved out of the way, and a strong man with a full beard strode forward with a knife in both hands. A pair of big eyes like copper bells stared at the war horses of the Dongjiang Army, and their eyes were full of greed.

There was no panic on the side of the Dongjiang Army, and without an order, everyone just set up a defensive posture to confront these robbers of unknown origin.

The two commanders of the Dongjiang Army immediately stepped forward and looked at the evil man, and the general on the right raised his sword to point at the evil man, and said coldly: "Bold bandits, you can know that we are the Dongjiang Army, if you don't disperse quickly, you will die without a place to be buried." ”

The strong man didn't care about the name of the Dongjiang Army at all, on the contrary, when he heard the name of the Dongjiang Army reported by Daxi, he laughed: "Lao Tzu is the idea of your Dongjiang Army, if you don't obediently hand over the war horse today, then wait to see the real chapter in your hands." ”

Daxi suddenly frowned, the Dongjiang Army had never encountered such an embarrassing situation. Because the people in the carriage were all important people, and they were concerned about their safety, the Dongjiang army did not immediately deal with these damned bandits.

The forbearance of the Dongjiang Army made the other party even more arrogant, Daxi has a great responsibility as the general of the unified army, and he can't make the slightest mistake, especially Hong Ziyan who will be pregnant.

"Brother Daxi, don't talk to them, give me two hundred soldiers, and kill these arrogant bandits." The other boss said with an angry face.

Daxi hesitated after hearing this, and only after a moment did he see him nod and say: "It's okay, Da Niu, give you three hundred soldiers, fight quickly, don't let these people get close to the carriage, and ensure the safety of the ladies." ”

Da Niu nodded viciously, and then immediately shouted, and soon gathered three hundred subordinates.

Seeing this, the robber man immediately burst out laughing, the double swords in his hands were raised high, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "Kill! ”

Hundreds of bandits, led by strong men, actually rushed to the three hundred cavalry of Da Niu without fear. Such a bandit who is not afraid of death is indeed rare, the big bull was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he was also aroused bloody, raised his saber and shouted: "Kill!" ”

Suddenly there was a fight on the wide official road, these bandits of unknown origin were indeed fierce, and they did not have the slightest comfort in the face of the three hundred Dongjiang Army cavalry, they were completely desperate, and they fought with the big bulls, and they would definitely not be able to tell the winner for a while.

Hong Ziyan and Chen Lan in the carriage also heard the sound of fighting outside, and Hong Ziyan suddenly became nervous again. Chen Lan could only try her best to persuade her, and only when Hong Ziyan stabilized a little did she lift the curtain and call Daxi in front of her and asked, "What happened in front of you, why did you fight at this time?" ”

Daxi was very calm, he bowed his hand and said: "Madam, a group of bandits of unknown origin suddenly appeared in front, and now Da Niu has rushed up, please Madame return to the carriage and don't show up, we can settle the matter soon." ”

Chen Lan hesitated for a moment, could only nod his head and do, shrank back into the carriage and waited quietly.

The number of bandits was half of the soldiers led by Da Niu, so on the battlefield, two bandits were fighting a Dongjiang army. Da Niu's situation is also very bad, the strong man who was the leader of the bandits was forced to hurry, if it weren't for his four personal guards to help, it is estimated that he would have been beheaded by the strong man long ago.
