Not long after the mission entered Huainan County, it was surrounded in a field before it reached Gusu.

"This is the mission of Princess Daqin, wait for the mountain bandits to retreat quickly, don't make mistakes." Some city guard generals shouted.

Jing Ge immediately went up and stood in front of the guard corps to inspect.

Where is this the formation of ordinary mountain bandits and wild bandits, the number of people is enough to thousands, although there is no armor, but the spears and horses are readily available, the queue is neat, obviously after training, the combat effectiveness will not be much weaker than the regular army.

The leader on the other side just sneered and didn't answer. He has an ordinary appearance, a dark complexion, high temples, and a very powerful appearance, and his aura is very amazing, most of which is a powerhouse of the King Realm.

There was another person next to him, dressed in a black cloak, his face covered with a black cloth, which was tightly covered, revealing only a pair of yin owl eyes, staring at Jing Ge deadly. A thin mist lingers around him, isolating perception, difficult to detect, and revealing his true face.

Two King Realm powerhouses and thousands of bandits were enough to threaten the entire mission.

Jing Ge glanced back at the two carriages in the center.

"The pro-guards are guarding the princess's car, and those who approach will be killed, and the rest will shrink their formation, and fight and move forward." Jing Ge ordered, the three hundred guards are masters selected by the martial queen and can be trusted.

As long as the formation is stable, even the powerhouses of the King Realm will find it difficult to break through the battle formation. Approaching Gusu City, its own garrison in the city came out to respond.

"Kill." The leader of the group waved his hand and took the lead in rushing forward. The adults behind the scenes ordered him to come and snipe the mission team, and he didn't say much, just do what he was told.

The other man in black disappeared from view, hiding the dark sky and waiting for an opportunity.

The two armies intersected, and the combat power of the city guards was obviously much stronger, how many bandits were knocked down and slaughtered, but only the corner of the impact of the king realm, the city guard soldiers were killed and wounded extremely quickly. After all, he is a strong man in the Wang Realm, and he is engulfed by his men and horses to attack together, and it is difficult for ordinary city guards to resist.

"Father-in-law Zhao, I may have to trouble you to deal with that person." Jing Ge said.

Zhao Xian nodded when he heard this, and floated forward.

Jing Ge was just in the center of the battle array, leaning against the two carriages, protected by the guards and soldiers. He has always been very principled, and he will never make a move if he can.

The leader of the King Realm is very powerful, and he can be regarded as the top powerhouse in the King Realm, but Zhao Xian, who is silent on weekdays, is even more terrifying.

The most trusted henchman of the Empress Wu is really extraordinary, this feminine and feminine Zhao Gonggong stands at the top of the martial arts in the world, and will not be weaker than the bitter-faced scholar and Xiliang Great Protector in Qingqiu, Jing Ge thought to himself.

He easily overpowered the leader, and soon gained the upper hand.

The other man in black still hadn't shown his head, and he couldn't find a chance to make a move, and he couldn't get close to the center.

He was reluctant to reveal his true face for fear that others would find out who he was. Jing Ge looked somewhere and smiled slightly.

He already knew who that person was, and as long as he didn't provoke him, Jing Ge wouldn't take the initiative to attack. After all, the main purpose of this trip was to escort Li Man to the Qi State safely, persuade the King of Qi to stop his troops, and save Great Qin from military disasters.

After a stick of incense, the bandit leader had already been wounded by Zhao Xian and had to withdraw from the battlefield and flee quickly.

Zhao Xian did not pursue, he came to protect the two princesses, and he should not stay away, so as not to have any accidents, and he must always be vigilant.

These bandits can only be regarded as miscellaneous troops, and compared with the elite of the city guards, there is still a certain gap, and there are heavy casualties. After seeing his own leader fleeing, he had no intention of fighting, and soon fled.

Zhao Xian returned to the car and felt that something was not quite right. After fighting outside for a long time, shouting and killing, the two princesses in the car didn't react?

"Eldest princess?"

"Little princess?"

He whispered twice into the car, but no one answered. When I lifted the curtain, I saw that there were still two princesses inside, and only the two maidservants stayed quietly in the car.

"Your Royal Highness, what's going on?" His face changed slightly, and he looked at Jing Ge with an innocent face.

"Father-in-law doesn't need to panic, now the two princesses have safely entered Gusu City." Jing Ge replied with a smile.

Zhao Xian was shocked when he heard this, this young prince His Royal Highness had the means to quietly send the two princesses away under his nose, and he didn't notice it, it was really terrifying. No wonder although Empress Wu didn't like him, she was also entrusted with important tasks.

"Then let's go to Gusu City and join them." Zhao Xian said urgently, worried in his heart, the two princesses would not have the slightest martial arts, and once they encountered danger, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Jing Ge shook his head and said in a low voice, "Father-in-law must also know that this trip is difficult, if they go with this group of guards, it will be impossible for them to reach the Qi country safely no matter what. ”

"Only by making a trick to secretly distract from Chen Cang, and quietly avoiding many eyes and ears, can there be a chance. The father-in-law might as well still treat the two of them as if they were in this car, not letting anyone approach, and hide it for as long as he wanted. He said.

Zhao Xian understood what he meant, he wanted to use the mission as a cover, buy time before those people found out, and let the two princesses move forward quietly.

It's a risky plan, but it seems to be the only way to go. It's just that if that's the case, how can the two princesses be relieved that they are not under his protection?

Do you really want to entrust the lives of the two of them to the young man in front of you? He hesitated inwardly.

"Okay, then it's all up to His Royal Highness the Prince, please be sure to protect the two of them." He thought about it for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Now, it has to be like this, he has nothing to do, there is no other way but to believe in Jingge.

"Do your best." Jing Ge nodded in response.

The sky was overcast, and the night shrouded Gusu.

"The house Your Highness said should be here." Qianxue stepped forward and knocked lightly.

"Who are you looking for?" A gray-haired lady came out and opened the door.

"May I ask if this is Mrs. Jiang's house?" Qianxue asked.

"Old thing, there are three Peugeot girls, looking for you." She shouted into the room.

"Where did the girl come from to find me, this bad old man." Mrs. Jiang walked out of the house.

"I've seen Mr. Taigong, my Royal Highness said that you can stay here with rice wine and roast chicken and ten taels of silver." Qianxue stepped forward and saluted, raising the wine jar and roast chicken in her hand.

"Your Highness? Isn't that stinky boy? Jiang Taigong said, turning sideways to let them in, and then latched the door shut.

"It's that stinky boy." Li Man suddenly spoke, pulling Li Yao forward and saluting. "I've met Uncle Shi, and the teacher asked me to greet him on my behalf."

"Oh? Teacher? Who are you? Jiang Taigong asked deliberately.

"The little girl's surname is Li Mingman, this is the little sister Li Yao." Li Man replied, not mentioning that she was a princess.

"My senior brother doesn't accept disciples, don't be close to my bad old man." Jiang Taigong said.

"Although the old gentleman did not explicitly accept me as an apprentice, but also instructed me many times, the little girl respected him as a teacher from the heart, so he called the grandfather uncle, if the prince is not happy, I will change it immediately." Li Man said sincerely.

"If that's the case, it's up to you to call Uncle Shi." Mrs. Jiang looked at her words and deeds, demeanor and face, down-to-earth and generous, dignified and gentle, she was a kind and generous person, and she liked it very much in her heart.

"Let's eat in the house first, it's weirdly cold outside." Aunt Hua said.

The three of them entered the house, and after Li Yao went through this incident, her whole person changed greatly, and she was not as rude as before. Extremely obedient and taciturn along the way.

"Come, little girl, seeing that you are very sleepy, I will take you to rest." Aunt Hua looked at Li Yao with a haggard face, and she felt a little pity.

Aunt Hua is naturally aware of the disaster she broke into, and now the outside world is spreading it and the world knows about it, but this can't be blamed entirely on her.

Their sisters stood up and resolutely decided to send an envoy to the country of Qi to make up for their mistakes. This courage and responsibility, in the eyes of Aunt Hua, is much better than those princes who don't have a light belt and don't have seeds.

After her sister nodded in agreement, Li Yao obediently followed Aunt Hua to the guest room.

There shouldn't be any need to worry about her safety here, this is where Jing Ge asked them to come. The owner of this house is the younger brother of the old man stargazing in the imperial capital.

Qianxue packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and Jiang Taigong beckoned Li Man over.

"Let's play a game of chess with the old man." He sat down at the desk, and the candle flame flickered slightly, illuminating the entire hall.

"Okay." Li Man sat down as she said, she knew how to play chess.

After a few sticks of incense, Jiang Taigong pinched a son, and it didn't fall for a long time.

"I don't want your chess skills to be so good, a little more powerful than the girl brought by that stinky boy a year ago." He was a little surprised that he actually lost to Li Man.

"Uncle Shi has won the prize, I am in the deep palace, and I often play chess when I have nothing to do, so I can win by luck." Li Man said with a smile.

"Who taught you chess?" Jiang Taigong was a little curious.

Li Man shook his head lightly and said, "No one has taught me, I always play with my left hand and right hand on weekdays. ”

"Is that more powerful with the left hand or more with the right hand?" Jiang Taigong Yile asked.

"It's all about the same, I'm willing to let whoever they win, they will win." Li Man replied with a smile.

"One more plate." Jiang Taigong is an excellent chess player and does not admit defeat.

He had a rare opponent in his life, and before playing with Li Man, he had only lost to Jing Ge, but that time he did not play Go.

"If you win this game again, I'll give you this thing." Jiang Taigong took out a piece of something out of nowhere and put it on the table.

It was a small piece of something like a withered branch, black and as if it had been roasted by fire. If you look closely at the surface, it is covered with dense cracks, if it is old, it will be weathered and cracked. It's like picking up unburned pine branches from a fire, and there's nothing too special about it.

"What is this?" Li Man looked carefully and asked curiously.

"Intermittent soul incense."

"What's the use?" Li Man listened to the name and thought about it, she had read ancient books and had never seen the introduction of such a thing.

"In addition to the miraculous effect of dispelling poison, its incense can also immerse people, unconsciously wander too empty, and awaken the deepest memories."
