Walked out of the palace and received his saber at the palace gate.

Outside the palace gate, on the side of the road in the distance, a tall young man led a horse and waited.

It was a high-quality Hequ horse, much better than the Tiele horse in Mobei, his hometown.

Stamped and turned on the horse.

"General, what did the saint say?"

"The sage asked me to go back to Mobei and said that I would be canonized as Khan."

The tall young man also rolled over on another horse, "Great. ”

"I didn't say yes, I don't want to go back."

Roque clamped the horse's belly between his legs and rode the horse slowly. "I am the emperor's righteous son, the general of Huben and the founding marquis of the country who have won meritorious service by charging into battle with my ability, why do I want to go back to Mobei to be a khan."

The young entourage was puzzled, "General, although you are the righteous son of the saint, you are only the righteous son, and there are more than a dozen righteous sons of the saint. The saint also has more than a dozen sons, they are the real dragon sons, and the general is just a righteous son, but also a proton. ”

Luo Keyong just smiled, "So what, of course I know that I'm just a righteous son, and I have never thought about anything else, and a righteous son is enough." ”

"General, Mobei is our home."

The sky was drizzling, flying with a hint of coolness.

Roque raised his head and let the rain fall on his face, and he muttered, "Home, where are the people who are most concerned about it, where is home." There is no one I care about in Mobei, this is my home. ”

"Let's go, get out of town, go to Daughter's Mountain (Bear's Ears Mountain)."

"Do you go to the county lord's manor again, shouldn't you go to see the people from the grassland family at this time?"

"See you later."

All the way out of the south city gate, the two of them urged their horses to speed up and rushed along the Luo River.

The two of them stepped off the horse, both of them were good horses with meanders, well-trained war horses, cut the horse's mane and tied the horse's hair, and the brushes all over their bodies were shiny, and they ran very rhythmically.

Luo Ke desperately wants to meet the county lord of Changsha, a young man in his early twenties, and it is the time when he is most looking forward to love.

If you don't see each other for a day, it's like every other autumn.

In the mountains, the rain is getting denser.

Between the valleys, the rain and fog are boundless.

Suddenly, Roque grabbed the reins of his horse.

The war-horse man stood up.

On the mountain road ahead, I don't know when a big tree fell, blocking the way.

Roque's brow furrowed, the tree fell a little strangely, not as if it had been blown down by the wind.

"Be careful, it's weird."

The attendant said, "Could it be that there will be a path cutter at the feet of the Son of Heaven this day?" ”

This is Luoyang Gyeonggi, the daughter mountain is not a wild and remote place, here are all the villas and manors of noble officials, who has the courage to come here to rob?

Roque did not dismount, but watched vigilantly from side to side.

"Friend, why don't you show up?"

On both sides of the mountain road, there was a noise, and someone walked out.

They were clothed in robes and hats on their heads.

But Roque did not relax his vigilance, but instead reached for the hilt of the knife at his waist.

These men were obviously armed under their hats, and they were especially led out on horseback.

"Who?"

The other party was silent, and even the hat with a head and face did not lift up a little.

One person directly drew the knife.

The knife is a ring-headed knife, and you can't see anything.

"Rush over, don't look back, go to the princess's manor."

Roque didn't think about turning back, the other party was obviously coming at him.

The horizontal knife was unsheathed, and Roque urged the war horse forward with a fierce force.

The retinue also drew their swords and rode their horses to follow, and the two rushed forward almost side by side.

Two tall horses slammed into each other, but the people in front of them did not retreat.

They also drew their swords and urged their horses forward.

Knife and iron clash.

In the blink of an eye, several people fell to the ground.

Roque's retinue was also painted.

"Rush forward, don't look back." Luo Kedi cut down two people in a row just now, but he didn't dare to turn back, the other party's origin is unknown, and there are a lot of them, there is no need to entangle here.

The two of them lowered their heads and saddled their horses to rush forward, and the people behind them chased after them, without making a sound from beginning to end.

At this time, Luo Kedi regretted that he did not bring a bow and crossbow, and it was inconvenient to bring these with him when he went to face the saint today, he had neither a horse lance nor a bow and a crossbow, and now he only had a horizontal knife, not even a piece of armor, and he decided to come here temporarily, and the guards did not bring it.

Fortunately, although the people behind were chasing after them, they didn't seem to have a bow either.

Without a bow and crossbow, without armor, and only with a light sword and a fast horse, then these people are unlikely to be from the imperial court.

If it was a soldier of the imperial court, it would definitely not be this way of fighting, it would definitely be an ambush with a bow and crossbow first, and then a horse lance and spear to encircle it.

While galloping on his horse, he wondered who was going to attack him?

After running for a while, the two horsemen had already caught up, and even intended to wrap the left and right.

Roque jumped into the saddle, jumped up, and slashed with his sword, knocking one man off his horse. He landed on his horse, then leaped again and returned to his mount.

On the other side, his entourage also used the same method, and tacitly killed the other horseman.

"General, these people don't look like ordinary bandits." The attendant shouted.

Luo Ke snorted coldly, in this outskirts of Luoyang City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how could there be a horse thief so bold? Now, how can you find such a bold bandit?

The garrisons, county soldiers, and militia in various places are not vegetarians, and if the ground is not quiet, they may lose their officials and be dismissed.

If there are still bandits in the border land, this is possible, but this is Luoyang, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, in the capital of Gyeonggi, how is it possible.

"Leave that alone, run first."

Roque is not brave, and there is no point in fighting with a group of unidentified people here, and it is impossible to make a difference.

When we got to the county lord's villa, there were many guards.

The horses of the two were fast, and after running for a while, they had already shaken off the thief.

Seeing that the two of them were running farther and farther, one of the pursuing team raised his right hand.

The remaining twenty or so riders stopped.

The leader looked at the manor villa that appeared faintly in front of him, and waved helplessly to withdraw the marriage.

The riders did not hesitate, and quickly turned around and left.

About two quarters of an hour later, Roque's dozens of horsemen rushed back, but nothing had been found, not even the corpses of men and horses where they had fought just now.

"Okay, you use Roque, you can't lie to me, right?"

"County Lord, how could I lie to you, someone really ambushed me just now, about thirty horsemen, light knives and fast horses, we killed four or five people, you see that my guard captain was also injured."

The county lord of Changsha was dressed in a polo costume and carried a crossbow in his hand, half-convinced.

Roque jumped off the horse and searched the ground carefully, and after a while, he finally found a new piece of soil of a different color, dug it up with a knife, and sure enough, the bloody soil that was covered up was revealed underneath.

"Look, bloodstained, fresh."

County Lord Zhou Yuexian came over to take a look, indeed.

"Oh, I can't imagine that this is so bright, in broad daylight, someone dares to ambush and assassinate the nobles of the dynasty, it's so daring, I want to tell my uncle immediately."

"Have you provoked a little lady from a noble family recently, and provoked others to kill you?"

"The county lord has wronged me, and I can't look down on anyone except you."

Roque had already thought about it all the way in his heart, who was going to kill him.

"Hmph, who wants you to take a fancy to it, go, go back first, I will send someone to Luoyang Mansion to report the case immediately."

Not long after returning to the county lord's villa, Luoyang Mansion really sent people over, a Fa Cao personally brought people here, and a group of Mobei Xue Yantuo people came with them.

The leader is Luo Ke's uncle's mud.

Seeing his uncle appear, Roque suddenly understood in his heart.
