Chapter 16: Horse Bandits

After shocking the messenger, Lu Chen asked him to ride his war horse back to report to Liu Feng, while he himself planned to go to Chifeng Mountain in person.

Seeing that he was going to go to the den of the horse bandits, Zhao Chuan was startled, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Don't be impulsive, my soldiers and soldiers just experienced a bloody battle not long ago, and now they haven't got a moment of rest, the whole army is wounded and exhausted, even if you want to suppress Wuyue, you should wait until you return to the city to recuperate, and then lead the army to come......"

He obviously thought that Lu Chen was going to destroy Wu Yue after reading the secret letter. Lu Chen smiled slightly and explained: "General Zhao doesn't need to panic, you just need to be responsible for escorting the supplies back to the county government, this time I go to Chifeng Mountain, I only need to bring a brother who is familiar with the mountain roads here." ”

Yes!? Zhao Chuan was dumbfounded when he heard this. He thought that Lu Chen would be bold enough to lead his troops to Pingzhou to forcibly ask for supplies, but he didn't expect that this new adult would still want to go to the horse bandit den alone, which ...... It's not a self-defeating trap! Kill yourself!

"Moreover, I also plan to hand over Liu Feng's secret letter to Wu Yue." Lu Chen continued.

Grunt! Zhao Chuan secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he couldn't understand what Lu Chen was thinking in his head, he looked at Lu Chen with wide eyes and incredulously, and stammered: "My lord...... This... End... Did the last general mishear......

Seeing his look like seeing a ghost, Lu Chen snorted and said, "What, does General Zhao think that Wu Yue will kill this official?" ”

Not to think! Yes, it is highly likely! Zhao Chuan muttered in his heart. Wu Yue, acting like a chivalrous man, all on his own, at the beginning, when the county guard had made it clear that he was protecting the bully, Wu Yue, as a small soldier, dared to kill the bully with a sword, it can be seen that there is nothing to do, this person dare not do it!

What's more, Wu Yue's personal martial arts are not only extremely strong, but also rarely have opponents! Moreover, there are more than 3,000 horse bandits under his command, and all of them are lawless outlaws who dare to fight and kill! Not to mention that Lu Chen is going alone to die for a lifetime, I'm afraid that even if he goes with these two thousand soldiers, it will be extremely difficult to win!

Thinking of this, Zhao Chuan couldn't help but hurriedly say: "My lord! Don't underestimate the gang of horse bandits in Wuyue, the walls of Chifeng Village are high, the defense is perfect, and there are a large number of armor and weapons hoarded in the village, strong bows and crossbows......"

Before he finished his words, Lu Chen interrupted him with one hand and said: "These have been mentioned to me by General Zhao before, and I also know the situation in Chifeng Village, I said, General Zhao does not need to worry, I am not going to meet with the Wuyue sword soldiers this time, so I don't need to bring troops, just I can go alone." ”

"......"

"I have made up my mind, General Zhao should hurry up and lead the army to escort the supplies back to the city, this batch of armaments is vital to the lives of our border troops, and there must be no loss! Go and call a brother who is familiar with the terrain of this place and accompany me to the Red Wind Mountain. Lu Chen said in an undeniable tone: "By the way, this is an order!" ”

......Seeing that he insisted on going to see Wu Yue, Zhao Chuan was out of luck for a while, and after a pause, he suddenly said: "Since the adults have made up their minds, the last general will not dare to be disobedient, but the road to Chifeng Mountain is rugged, and there are not many brothers who are familiar with this place, so it is better for the last general to accompany the adults to go together." ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen glanced at Zhao Chuan deeply, and while nodding secretly, he also said, "That... Okay, but our army's supplies, someone has to command the escort, otherwise, this officer really can't rest assured! ”

"Don't worry, my lord, our army's armament will be escorted by Li Sheng and other four commanders, and it will be foolproof." Zhao Chuan returned, speaking of which, he just didn't worry about letting Lu Chen go on an adventure alone, with him with him, although Wu Yue really had bad intentions, he could not play a big role, but this could make him feel more at ease.

Chifeng Village is located halfway up the Chifeng Mountain.

As soon as he entered the mountain along the path, before Lu Chen and Zhao Chuan could take a few steps, several big men with long knives suddenly popped out of the woods on both sides, and one of the big men pointed the long knife in his hand at Lu Chen, and shouted angrily: "What person!?" Dare to trespass on Chifeng Village! ”

This sudden change made Zhao Chuan subconsciously rush to block in front of Lu Chen, holding the handle of the knife on his waist with one hand, and slowly scanning the few big men in front of him with his eyes guarded.

Lu Chen was also taken aback, but he quickly reacted, and said with a smile on his face: "I am the guard of the border city and the guard of the military pass, Lu Chen!" ”

As soon as he came up, he directly reported to his home, and he didn't plan to go around the bend at all, which scared a few cottage minions on the opposite side, and several people almost subconsciously looked past Lu Chen and looked behind him, and their faces also showed a look like they were facing a great enemy.

Seeing this, Lu Chen looked up and smiled, and said, "Don't worry, there are no soldiers and horses behind this official. ”

was broken by him, several old faces turned red, and the man in the lead asked cautiously: "That... Land... Why is Lord Lu here? ”

When he spoke, his confidence was obviously insufficient, and he was still swallowing saliva from time to time, Lu Chen saw this, smiled slightly, and said, "I came to meet Wu Yue." ”

At this time, Zhao Chuan lost no time on the side and shouted: "The adults came to Chifeng Village to ask to see Wu Yue, that gave him a lot of face!" Why don't you hurry up and report it!? ”

Yes!? Several people reacted, and glanced at each other, although they didn't know whether it was true or not, but the man in the lead didn't dare to be careless, and glanced at the other two minions, signaling them to hurry up and report, and after the two of them left quickly, the man turned his head to look at Lu Chen again, and arched his hand and said: "Lord Lu, please wait here for a while, I have already let people go to the cottage to pass the martial brother." ”

Before Lu Chen could speak, Zhao Chuan couldn't help but shout: "Bold! Wu Yue is just a grasshopper! How dare you let the adults wait for him here! It just doesn't make sense! ”

Let a dignified county guard wait here for a horse bandit, in Zhao Chuan's opinion, this is simply nonsense! It's a ridiculous thing in the world! If you snub an adult like this, it is equivalent to slapping the border army in the face, and it is simply slapping him Zhao Chuan in the face! How could he bear it!

However, Lu Chen didn't think as much as he thought, and he didn't have any intention of worrying, he waved his hand and said, "Huh? It doesn't matter, it's okay for us to wait here. ”

Hearing this, the leading man bowed his hand again and said, "Lord Haihan! ”

"Humph!" Zhao Chuan tipped his head and snorted coldly from his nostrils to express his dissatisfaction.
