The Weihe Wharf, located at the southern end of Changle Plateau, has become an extremely busy place in recent years. Since the three counties of Chang'an worked together to dig the Longshou Canal to communicate with the Jingwei water system, it has formed a great convenience. The counties of the Han Dynasty imitated one after another, and by now, a criss-crossing water transportation system has been formed, and most of the transportation of goods in the world is completed in the form of shipping. Therefore, the busyness of the Weihe wharf can be imagined.

There are peanut trees on Changle Plateau, and the fallen flowers are colorful, and Yuan Zhao stands in the spring light on the other side of the wharf, waiting for the old man from the west. In the past few days, many people have disembarked here and become his important guests. And the people he has to wait for today are Zhang Qian, the Marquis of Bowang, who is about to return from the third envoy to the Western Regions as an envoy of the Han Dynasty, and Yu Dan, the prince of the Huns, who came on the same boat.

It was still early, and Kuaizhou, who had rushed back earlier to report the news, said that the group of ships had turned from the Han River to Weishui, and it would take more than half an hour to arrive. Yuan Zhao turned around and said to Dong Zhongshu, who came to the dock with him, that he knew about it, and was afraid that he would be a little overwhelmed by his old age, so he persuaded him to go back and rest first. Unexpectedly, this old man turned his beard and was very dissatisfied with Yuan Zhao's mother-in-law.

"Yuanhou Xiu has to take such special care of us. Although the old decay is old, it has not yet reached the point of unbearable. Just think about what you should do, Chang'an University will open soon, and you should be well prepared in all aspects, but don't be a little negligent. ”

Yuan Zhao hurriedly nodded yes. With the two people in charge of the overall situation, Father Yan and Dong Zhongshu, he felt that the burden on his body had been lightened by half. He only needs to make ideas about the affairs of Chang'an College, and the two of them have done everything in a steady and secure manner.

"I heard that last night, some people from the rivers and lakes came to make trouble?"

Last night's fight in the dense forest of Zhongnan Mountain made a bit of a big noise, and finally alarmed the people on Changle Plateau, Dong Zhongshu heard about it early in the morning, since even the Black Eagle Army was dispatched, he was a little uneasy after all, so he asked an extra question.

"It's okay, it's just some self-defeating guys. I was really negligent earlier, and I didn't expect them to be so bold. Cui Hong and Zhao Yuan have been arranged to be vigilant, and they will not be allowed to take advantage of it again. Don't worry. Hehe! ”

A smile appeared on Yuan Zhao's face, and Dong Zhongshu saw that he had taken this matter seriously, so he didn't ask any more. He had come here today to wait because he was eager to see the precious words that recorded Western culture that had come from the Western Regions with the Han envoys. In terms of safety, he believed that Yuan Zhao would definitely ensure that he didn't need to worry about it.

The neighing of a horse sounded, and Yuan Zhao looked up not far away, and a few hundred steps away from the edge of Weishui, a young lieutenant named Huo Qubing was carefully combing the mane on Ryoma's body with a brush. Spring is blooming, everything is recovering, the horses have faded the winter fluff, and gradually grow a shiny mane again, which looks very energetic.

Huo Qubing took off his armor, dressed in a white shirt with arrow sleeves and a red hero, and did his own thing with a serious face by the river. A hundred-strong squad of Black Hawks patrolled the neighborhood and would not come near without the orders of the hussar captain. Everyone knows that their school captain is in a bad mood these days, and everyone is very cautious.

However, if they dared to approach Captain Huo's side and hear the light tune she was humming quietly, their jaws would definitely drop!

The majestic hussar captain in the army has never dared to look her in the eye. Therefore, the occasional tenderness in the depths of the eyes of the "hero boy" in the eyes of everyone has never been noticed.

This touch of tenderness, of course, secretly glanced at the man in the green shirt. Now she finally had an excuse to leave the camp justifiably, and rode her horse and followed him on the Changle Plateau.

When I think of this, I retract my gaze, and there is a faint joy in my heart. She even felt that she should be grateful for the appearance of those masters of the rivers and lakes last night, and she should be grateful for the extremely powerful guy there. Although he almost died, he regained the same mood as before.

Last night, in the dense forest of Zhongnan Mountain, when Huo Quzhi sensed that something was wrong and wanted to lose both with the other party, Yuan Zhao, who got the news, finally arrived at this critical moment. Yuan Zhao saves people and injures the enemy at the same time in one move, which can be said to be as urgent as a meteor and like a thunderbolt!

Huo Quai's sword actually couldn't hurt the old man Shanyue, the other party's practice was very evil, when the sword edge came, his body had already bent into a strange shape, just avoiding the edge of the sword. Just when he was secretly proud in his heart, and wanted to destroy this powerful young lieutenant with a sword under the iron claws, one foot kicked him out with a thousand powers.

The old man of Shanyue felt a big shock in his heart, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out in the air. There are such people in the world! That was his first thought. Knowing that he would not be able to bargain tonight, he glanced back anxiously as his body hit the ground, firmly remembered the other party's appearance, and then rolled into the bushes next to him, and disappeared.

Ordinary people bear the power of Yuan Zhao's kick, and if they don't die, they will lose most of their lives. However, the old man's body seemed to have a defensive function, and he automatically relieved some of his strength, so although he was injured, there was no major problem. Seeing such a strange method from him, even Yuan Zhao was a little surprised. When he turned around and saw that Huo Qu was not injured, he couldn't help but teach her a few words of hard work.

Although Huo Quzhi experienced the danger just now, he didn't care about it, and the master reprimanded him harshly not once or twice, but she just couldn't change the problem of being brave and ruthless. After hearing her whisper in disbelief, she muttered, Master, aren't you always like this...... Yuan Zhao had no choice but to stare hard, there was nothing he could do with her.

The fight just now actually only happened between a few breaths. The Black Eagle Army's attack on those hidden masters who gradually retreated did not stop, and the two sides were still fighting each other, but just now when they saw the old man Shanyue shooting, they thought that there would be a chance to turn defeat into victory, but they didn't expect that a few face-to-face kung fu, even the people they regarded as gods and demons actually escaped by themselves, and all the hidden door masters instantly lost the courage to resist, and they turned around and ran towards the cave.

And the officers and men of the Black Eagle Army saw that Captain Huo was unharmed, and Yuanhou was coming again, they were in great spirits, with them here, what was there to be afraid of! Kill! Kill all these gangsters who don't know the height of the sky.

Under the pursuit of victory, the masters of the hidden gate had nowhere to escape, so they all ran into the depths of the cave, lying in the hidden places in the cave and resisting stubbornly, they still had delusions, if the people who escaped earlier went to inform Elder Luo to know, he would definitely come back to rescue.

The Black Hawk sergeants bravely attacked, but in the dark, several people were injured in the surprise attack. Yuan Zhao whispered something to Huo Quzhi, and the hussar lieutenant raised his eyebrows, waved the sword in his hand, and ordered everyone to retreat. If there is the easiest way, why bleed!

So the Black Hawk Army, which received the latest order, quickly moved into action, hundreds of people blocked the entrance of the cave with crossbow arrows, and the rest of the men cut down a large number of dead branches and miscellaneous trees with their swords in a moment's time, and filled the hole entrance, and then lit a fire, and under the simultaneous fireworks, it was very pitiful, and none of the people inside escaped...... It's all dead.

The Black Hawks cleaned up the scene, rescued their wounded comrades, and then assembled back to camp. As for the clean-up work the next day, it was naturally carried out by the officials of Lantian County. When the smoke cleared and Yuan Zhao entered the cave to check, he found that on the big stone deep in the cave, there was a child's body that had been disemboweled, and the blood was sucked dry, and it was obvious that it had been dead for a long time.

After the Lantian County Commander who came later, he identified that this child was the child of the local family that disappeared earlier. Yuan Zhao frowned slightly, thinking of the old man's strange skills, which obviously had a lot to do with it. He told everyone that if he found this person again, he must not provoke him casually, and immediately come and tell him that that old guy is very evil, not something ordinary people can deal with, and there may be some trouble.

Huo Quzhi immediately took the opportunity to propose that since a large part of these masters of the rivers and lakes tonight have escaped, they will definitely not give up, and they may not be able to make a comeback in the next few days, so they must not be ignored. She is willing to lead the Black Eagle Army to do a good job of vigilance and make every effort to ensure the safety of Chang'an College.

Yuan Zhao thought about it for a while, and finally nodded in agreement. Huo Quzhi immediately began to arrange, from now on, the main task of the Five Thousand Black Eagle Army is to patrol the entire Changle Plateau area, and must not let unknown suspicious characters mix in again. The soldiers received the order and immediately went their separate ways. And herself, of course, followed the master with peace of mind.

The shadow of the fleet finally appeared in the upper reaches of the Wei River, and more than a dozen large ships rushed down and docked at the Wei River wharf. The third mission of the Han delegation headed by Zhang Qian, Marquis of Bowang, lasted more than half a year, and finally returned to Chang'an today. However, this trip was not as smooth as the previous two. There were many troubles along the way, and the Han army that accompanied them to protect them caused heavy casualties in the battle with the attacking enemy.

After Yuan Zhao and Zhang Qian exchanged hard work, they saw that even he had minor injuries. Listening to him briefly recount the sudden change in the attitude of several countries in the Western Regions towards the Han Dynasty, he realized that this must be the action of the Huns over there. Moreover, on the way back, the cavalry raid encountered by the Han mission was also done by the Huns. In addition, since the beginning of this year, the Hun cavalry has continued to appear outside the Yumen Pass, killing and plundering border people and merchants. In this way, after nearly four years of calm, the strength of the Huns has been regathered, and a new war may be ignited.

Is it a passive response, or is it an active attack? This is the main problem that Dahan is about to face.
