On the morning of the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the west gate of Tingzhou City. The two teams of light horsemen in the north court were vigorous and horses, with armor on their bodies and horses in their hands, and hurriedly rode their horses to the west.

The murderous aura of the cavalry made the rest of the caravans and pedestrians entering and leaving the city spontaneously hide in horror. They pointed and whispered what was going on.

In the middle of the cavalry ranks, there was a light carriage. Inside the carriage, Du Huan, whose tired face was still frowning and pondering.

"Erlang, where did the news come from?" Du Huan pondered and asked.

"Rokuro, haven't you seen it? The message was brought in by a throwing knife! Wang Yong was anxious, and his attitude towards Du Huan was inevitably a little blunt.

"I'm wondering, who's going to tell you the news?" Du Huan knew that Wang Yong was concerned about Xiao Langjun, so he didn't take it seriously.

"This ......" Wang Yong paused for a moment and said in a low voice: "I haven't thought about it. ”

The corners of Du Huan's mouth curled slightly, and he said with a smile: "Erlang wants to deceive me? There are only you and me in the car, and you still refuse to say anything? ”

Wang Yong's cheeks were slightly hot after hearing this, but his face was dark, and he couldn't really see a little red. After looking around, he said in a low voice: "With a certain thought, it should be a warrior who lives in Ruyi." ”

"That thing outside the Broken Leaf City......" Du Huan's thinking jumped quickly, and he couldn't ask clearly, but he knew that Wang Yong would definitely be able to understand.

"It must have been the same person!" Wang Yong's voice was low, but very sure.

"It seems that the Yuanxi fire is also this person's plan." Speaking of Yuan Xi, a layer of disgust quickly flashed on Du Huan's face: "On weekdays, I always look at this person with a kind face, but I didn't expect to be so ruthless, and he treats human life like a mustard." ”

"So after getting the news, he hurriedly informed Du Hu and asked for the order to mobilize two teams of light cavalry. Thinking of the tragic situation of the fire on Yuan Xi, I was uneasy! Wang Yong's words were full of flame-smeared anxiety.

"Yuan Xi set fire, used four people, and I think this time it will use dozens of people. There are more than ten tooth soldiers who are responsible for protecting Xiao Langjun, and the rest of Xiao Langjun and Xiao Niang's identities are very valuable, and they must have brought a lot of guards, so how can there be thirty or forty tooth soldiers there, and the situation should not be particularly critical. Du Huan looks more optimistic than Wang Yong, I don't know if he really thinks about it like this, or if he is comforting Wang Yong.

"There's nothing wrong with anticipating the enemy's leniency." Wang Yong replied in a low voice: "And I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I always feel that this matter is not simple. The opponent seems to have started to lay out early......"

"Erlang has a point! I thought about it repeatedly, and the other party might have already begun to plan this conspiracy when he returned from the class teacher. It's just that there are many key points, and I still haven't thought through it very thoroughly. Du Huan habitually rubbed his chin with his right hand, and speculated carefully: "Now I only faintly feel that the two things of giving Xiaoyun Little Lady a congratulatory gift and going to Xida Temple to pray for blessings are natural on the surface, and they are not related, but when you think about it, it seems to reveal a little weirdness." But what I don't understand is that if you want to ensure a one-hit kill, you must lay out near the polo field in advance. So, how can they conclude that Xiao Langjun will definitely go there to play polo? And with what force will be used to carry out the thunderous strike? The four people who set the fire were not from Tingzhou at all, and they couldn't find any useful clues on the corpse, so they could only speculate from the calluses in the tiger's mouth that they were probably bandits and the like. ”

I have to say that Du Huan's reasoning is already very close to Wang Peizhong's layout, but because he is usually busy with the military and political affairs of Beiting, he has no time to pay attention to the backyard of the Metropolitan Protectorate, so he does not know as much information as Aitenggna, who is in the inner house.

When Du Huan was reasoning, he suddenly heard the sound of horses outside the car, and then saw Wang Yong hurriedly looking out of the window.

"Xiao Langjun's little red horse!!" Wang Yong shouted.

When Du Huan heard this, he hurriedly poked his head out of the window on the other side. I saw that in front of the team, a red shadow was like lightning, and it was approaching rapidly. Judging from the size and speed, it must be Xiao Langjun's mount!

Seeing the little red horse, Du Huan was first shocked: "The opponent has already launched!" After being frightened, he hurriedly said: "I hope that Xiao Langjun saw the opportunity early and escaped in advance with the divine horse of the little red horse!" ”

While Du Huan was still thinking, Wang Yong had already struggled to jump off the carriage and endured severe pain to ride the Wuli horse that followed the carriage.

The black horse was not happy that its master abandoned it and sat in the car. Now that he saw that the master had come out, he hissed excitedly, and without Wang Yong's explanation, he flew towards Chi Yanhua.

Wu Li Horse and Chi Yanhua were originally wild horses in the same herd near Yibo Sea, and they were particularly familiar with each other's breath, so it spotted Chi Yanhua in front of it as soon as possible.

Wang Yong tried his best to look up on Wuli's horse, expecting to see Xiao Langjun's figure on Chi Yanhua's back.

But as the two horses quickly approached, a look of disappointment gradually spread on Wang Yong's face. On horseback is not Xiao Langjun, but the small lord of the Tuqi Shi, Ayitengna.

After Ai Tenggena saw Wang Yong, she suppressed her beating heart and couldn't take a breath. She tried her best to hold on to the reins, and shouted at Wang Yong with her greatest strength: "Go and save Xiao Langjun...... There is an ambush in the woods north of the polo field...... Many cavalry ...... Probably more than a hundred people ......"

After finishing speaking, Ayitengna, who had been extremely nervous all the way, finally couldn't stand it anymore. She involuntarily closed her eyes and staggered on the horse's back.

Wang Yong called over a light cavalry captain and explained loudly: "There is a police ahead, and a certain group of cavalry will go first." You led the brothers of Benhuo to carry the little lady of Yiyue to the carriage to rest, and were responsible for escorting Judge Du to follow. ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Yong ignored the pain in his lower back, spurred the horse, and rushed towards the direction of the polo field.

After the two teams of light cavalry received the order, they no longer cared about horsepower, raised their whips and hooves, and followed Wang Yong forward with all their might.

After the cavalry commander picked Aitengana off his horse, Chi Yanhua neighed, then turned around and followed the black horse, and ran back towards the polo field.

Seeing Wang Yong leading the light cavalry away, Du Huan knew that the matter must be very critical. But he also understands that now, his role has ended, and there is no need to rush over.

The reason why Wang Zhengjian sent Du Huan here was because the source of the intelligence was unknown, the truth and falsehood were indistinguishable, and it was inconvenient to publicize it, so it was necessary to dispatch military horses in the name of arresting the murderer. Therefore, it is reasonable for Du Huan to come forward as a judge of the North Court. The second is that I don't know what kind of trap the opponent may lay, and there is a more layer of protection for the resourceful Du Huan.

After Du Huan saw that Wang Yong and the little lady Yiyue had chatted, he hurriedly accelerated and set off, and understood that Wang Yong must have obtained enough information.

After the conspiracy was revealed, what was needed was for the samurai to go into battle and fight with a sword, and he, a scribe, had little room to play a role.

The firemaster carefully carried Ayi Tengana over, and Du Huan took her into the carriage.

After instructing the fire chief to move on, Du Huan first took out the water bladder and let the haggard Aitenggna take two sips.

Bai Lianju and other mounts were gathered up by the light cavalry, tied to the carriage, and walked all the way.

The dizzy Aitenggana took two sips of water and eased up a little. She briefly and gloomyly depicted the danger on the polo field.

"More than a hundred cavalry!!" Du Huan was shocked when he heard this: "How poisonous! ”

Ayitengna, who was relieved, gave Du Huan a rough idea of what he had just guessed. Of course, she hid some of Xiao Langjun's ** and a little of her own careful thoughts. For example, why Xiao Langjun likes Ashina Xiaoyun so much; For example, he persuaded Xiao Langjun to get close to Ashina Wenxia......

After listening to Aitenggna's analysis, Du Huan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "Yiyue's intelligence is really rare. It was able to peel back the cocoon and guess the opponent's thinking! ”

Ayitengna was not surprised when she heard this, and she smiled bitterly, "It's a pity that I found out too late." If I hadn't heard Lan Xiang and Mei Xiang gossip, I wouldn't have connected these causes and consequences anyway. By the time I had a rough idea, the attack had already begun! ”

"It's very rare to be able to get a glimpse of the whole picture from just a few words!" Du Huan first praised it, and then said: "I just don't know if Xiao Langjun can survive this catastrophe!" ”

Aitengna looked resolute and said categorically: "It must be possible! ”

"How can Little Lady Yiyue be so confident?" Du Huan was curious.

"Xiao Langjun has a calm temperament and is full of whimsy, and he should be able to find a way to deal with it." Aitengina, who had recovered from her recovery, entered a state of calm analysis: "And according to what I observed when I was leaving, there seem to be other centaurs hidden in the woods?" ”

"Oh?" Du Huan was surprised in his heart, he immediately thought of Ruyiju, but he didn't say it.

"Just as I understood the other man's sinister intentions, the sound of long arrows breaking through the air was heard in the woods. Since the opponent's target is Xiao Langjun, it is the easiest and most effective to kill with one arrow. But after a moment of the dark arrow, there was no follow-up. Then there was a rain of arrows and the hoofs of horsemen in the forest. Aitengana has a very clear memory and a very organized thought: "Therefore, I speculate that the Hidden Arrow Raid is the first method of the opponent's plan, and it is very close to success. But after the long arrow went off the string, it was interfered with. The third-party centaurs also launched a surprise attack on the opponent. In desperation, the opponent turned the darkness into the light and dispatched all the horses to attack! ”

"Reasonable!" Du Huan pondered the message in Aitengna's words.

However, the opponent did put a lot of effort into the trap step by step, and prepared a variety of means. And the third-party centaur is just my inference, not necessarily true. It's really worrying! Although she is confident, Aitengana is very worried.

"There is indeed a third party." Du Huan said clearly: "Otherwise, how could Wang Beijiang and I be here?!" ”

At this time, Ayi Tenggena realized that she was in a hurry to report for help, and she relaxed after seeing Wang Yong, but she ignored a key question: why did she encounter the Beiting light cavalry rushing all the way west before entering Tingzhou City?

"Someone has already reported the danger?" Aitengna asked tentatively.

"Yes. If Xiao Langjun can get out of danger this time, thank you to this female swordsman! ”

"A female swordsman?" In the early morning of the 16th, after Xiao Langjun woke up from his coma, he mentioned the swordsman who killed the four arson bandits alone.
