The Royal Yulin Army of the brigade found the little boy Liu Ju an hour later.

After receiving the return of the sentry horseman, the men and horses who were ordered to meet immediately stopped looking around, the horse's hooves flew all the way, and the pine torches shone nearby like daylight, and stopped at the side of the restaurant in the suburbs of Qing, and the general surnamed Li was about the same age as Zhao Yuan, and his whole body was draped, his expression was anxious, and he was full of fierce spirit.

Since receiving an urgent order in the evening to lead the team out of Chang'an City, he has not found the news of that group, and then he began to find the traces of the fight on the side of the road and the corpse of the dead guard, he was shocked, knowing that there was an accident, and someone dared to intercept and kill the prince of the Han family in the suburbs of the imperial city, which has never happened since the founding of the Han Dynasty!

Whether it is thieves robbing money or someone premeditating it, this is destined to be an uproar, and the consequences are unpredictable under Long Yan's anger.

He immediately sent the flying horse back to Weiyang Palace to report the news, and at the same time shouted loudly to order all the staff to unsheath the knife and wind the bow to prepare for the fight, but the search for people all the way was unsuccessful, and his heart was already very anxious.

It turned out that Yuan summoned Wei Qing and the three of them earlier, and after a brief examination, he saw that Gongsun Ao was only in a coma, although he was seriously injured, he had no worries about his life for a while. Then he extinguished the torch, signaled Wei Qing to follow, and took Gongsun Ao's head first, Wei Qing also knew that he could not stay here for a long time, so he hurriedly hugged Liu Ju and endured the pain and followed closely.

Bypassing the forest path, I turned onto the avenue without a moment, and saw a light flashing in the distance, knowing that it was a human habitation. After a while, I came to the restaurant in the suburbs. At this time, it was getting late, and most of the stranded guests had gone to their respective rooms to rest, leaving only two or three shopkeepers to clean up the tables and chairs.

Seeing that Yuan Zhao brought three people in, and the two adults were covered in blood, he couldn't help but be taken aback. Yuan Zhao inevitably explained in a few words, only saying that he met these three people not far from the restaurant, and when he saw that they were injured and came to ask for help, he temporarily helped Yunyun. Wei Qing didn't say much, only said that he encountered robbers at the foot of the mountain on the other side of Changle Plateau, plundered money with knives, and the two of them tried their best to protect the little master and escape.

The shopkeepers heard this, and just muttered to each other,

"I haven't heard that there are bandits near Chang'an City! Where did this come from? ”

"Remember to talk to the guests tomorrow, and be careful."

They were also warm-hearted, and hurriedly called hot water to help scrub the blood stains of the injured two and check the wounds.

Yuan Zhao saw that they were all traumatized, returned to the upstairs room, and found out the healing medicine he had configured in the package, but when he turned around, he saw that Zhao Yuan and Song Jiu had already fallen asleep on the bed after drinking. He closed the door lightly and came out, and saw a person lying on the railing at the door of the opposite room looking at the situation below in a daze, it was the same young man who had eaten in the lobby earlier, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Although Yuan Zhao looked at him a little strange, he didn't take it to heart.

When he came to the bottom, he first applied medicine to a few deep wounds on Gongsun Ao's body lying on the wooden board, and then bandaged them briefly. Just when he was about to deal with Wei Qing again, the sound of horses' hooves sounded from far and near in the dark night in the distance, everyone was stunned, and the little boy Liu Ju's face turned pale, and he hurriedly grabbed Yuan Zhao's arm and hid behind him. Wei Qing stood up nervously, listened attentively, and after a while, his face suddenly gradually relaxed, as if he was finally relieved of the burden of a thousand catties.

Yuan Zhao remained silent and turned his head to look at the door of the building. The night breeze blew, and the apricot wine flag that was picked diagonally made a soft sound. The two red lights hanging above the doorway flickered slightly, and the wooden stairs of the third and fourth steps were even more dim, and the halo covered a few feet beyond was boundless darkness.

Yuan Zhao suddenly felt that this picture was somewhat familiar in his mind. It was in the old world, when I went to the resort with friends on vacation, and stayed in those small wooden buildings for a night of drinking and chatting. After thousands of years, the good night is not much different, but the two worlds are separated, and things are different from people. Yuan Zhao was thinking wildly, when he suddenly felt a pair of big hands pat him on the shoulder, and looked up to see the gentle man smiling at him,

"It's okay, it's my own people."

The team shattered the tranquility of the autumn night, and finally woke up the people who had gone to bed early in the restaurant. Some were panicked and scared, some were curious, but when some people came out to see what was going on, they only saw the back of a pair of torches faintly speeding away. I didn't understand what happened before this moment, and I asked each other, but no one answered, and when I saw that it was none of my business, I went back to sleep.

Yuan Zhao saw the Yu Lin Army who responded and surrounded the three of them and gradually moved away, and also went upstairs and walked towards his room. When they parted just now, Wei Qing glanced at him with a complicated expression, and did not say a word to him. He knew that the man would keep his promise and keep it a secret for him. Because that person's name is Wei Qing, this is one of the two great generals who are known as "gentlemen like jade" in the long river of Chinese history. And the other is Xu Da of the Ming Dynasty.

Yuan Zhao didn't want people to know what amazing skills he had, he just wanted to live in this era, live in the market, experience a life different from his previous life, stabilize the years, and keep the passing years. Or, if you want a little more luxury, it is also a good choice to stay with the girl Lingzhi who has occupied a corner of his soul for the rest of his life! As for saving the little boy Liu Ju, a tragic figure in the future, it was just his casual action. This unlucky child began to fall into the struggle for power at such a young age, and it is not surprising that he later had such a fate, the drama of the struggle for imperial power! Oh, the future in twenty or thirty years...... Who knows what will happen? Now he didn't think that far ahead.

The young Cui Hong pretended to be in a daze and thought about things, but in fact, his heart was churning and excited and not calm. Although he grew up in the northern frontier and didn't know what the white feathers on the helmet of the team represented, he looked at the tall horses and well-equipped armor soldiers, and knew that the child they picked up must be a child of a powerful family. But it wasn't that that excited him, he secretly watched out of the corner of his eye as the kid who lived in the opposite room walked in, his mind replaying over and over again the ghostly figure he had seen when he killed his enemies.

It turned out that this young man followed his grandfather to hunt for a living since he was a child, tracking the lurking shadows of prey in the dense forests and grasses in the north, and cultivated a keen sense of awareness and eyes that are unusual for ordinary people to see at night. Earlier, he noticed that Yuan Zhao was going out, because he was a little curious about the child, and because he was depressed, he quietly followed him from a distance. Unexpectedly, not long after, he witnessed a killing like the Shura Dojo.

He lay in the grass after the rain far away, not daring to move, and he didn't know whether it was because the dew soaked his clothes or because he was frightened and afraid, and his body trembled all the time. As the screams came from afar, he just wanted to get out as quickly as possible. Cui Hong also experienced the slaughter of the Huns, but after all, it was a team of iron horses, and there were ...... fighting, resisting, and escaping. But at this moment, it seems that there is a demonic beast in the dark night wreaking havoc on a group of lambs to the slaughter. The child who had eaten and joked peacefully at his table next to him earlier had now transformed into a tiger, which was far beyond his knowledge.

He stared blankly at the slaughterhouse in the faint light of the fire, and his heart trembled with horror, and his mind went blank, until the darkness returned to night, and the tranquility once again shrouded the forest. Cui Hong crawled far away little by little, and then fled back to the restaurant as if flying.

The young heart is always easy to worship the strong and regard them as idols, not to mention that he is a young man with hatred in his heart. The wandering around during this period of time made him miss the warm times of the past even more. The peaceful tunzi, the simple man, the grandfather who brought him up, the night of hunting, the aroma of cooking meat in the dim light ....... And all of this was shattered at that moment, and the Hun Iron Cavalry shattered the boy's dream.

Cui Hong wiped the tears from his eyes and secretly made up his mind: "I must become stronger!" Those blood feuds must be avenged with your own hands in the future!" And that mysterious child is the best teacher. Find a way to stay by his side and beg him to teach himself skills. But what can be done? The young Cui Hong pondered.

Yuan Zhao didn't know that he was being remembered at this time. He said what he had just said to Zhao Yuan and Song Jiu, who were awakened, and the two of them were a little surprised, there were robbers near the capital, and they should be more careful on the way back tomorrow. After saying a few more words, the day was already two and ten ten, and they each rested.

Yuan Zhao lay down and breathed quietly for a while, his breath was long, his dantian was abundant, and he didn't feel a trace of tiredness, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Thinking back to the fighting in the forest, in just over a month, the internal strength, physique, and body coordination have been so sophisticated! It's no longer the same as the self in the previous life. Could it be the result of the crossing? Is this a benefit that God has given me to make up for it? Hehe!

In the silence of the woods, I don't know if it was water or blood that was ticking from somewhere. Suddenly, the treetops moved lightly, and several figures floated down. After a fire broke, a light rose, and the faces of the people could not be seen clearly, about four or five people of different heights.

Looking around for a while, the leader frowned, and there was a faint sound of whispering to each other in the forest.

"Venerable Master, what do you think?"

"Probably the palace master guards arrived to rescue people!"

"Are they all dead?"

"There shouldn't be a lot of people coming, and there are ...... seventy or eighty gangs here."

"It's troublesome, Master Hou's orders ......."

"Don't worry about it for now, let's take a closer look at whether there are any alive."

Suddenly, I heard someone whisper, "This one still has breath, there is one who is not dead!" ”

After a while, seeing that nothing could be found in the night, several people discussed, carried the undead man they had found, and walked away through the leaves. The wind swept through the treetops, a crow croaked, and the whole forest returned to calm.

And not far from here, on another hill in the dense forest, there is a cavalry of 300 people lying quietly here, and the commander Zhao Zhongxian led the team quietly back to Chang'an City to patrol the military guard camp after receiving the reward from the dark post.
