On the official road, a horse-drawn carriage ran forward quickly, surrounded by twenty guards.

The guards were all rugged men with round waists and broad shoulders, but they were all wounded.

Some of the guards had one of their arms broken and hung on their chests; Some of the guards were left with a bloody wound on their chests, and the flesh turned outward; Some of the guards were injured in the thighs and lost a large piece of flesh......

The situation was tragic, but no one threw in the towel.

The carriage scurled forward, and the guards protected it from the bandits. Waves of thieves and bandits came, and the guards calmly greeted the enemy, and every time they swung their knives, they would bring out a string of blood beads. The steel knife was stained with blood, and screams rang out. As time went on, there were fewer and fewer guards, and soon only a dozen guards were left to cover around the carriage.

However, there are still hundreds of bandits around.

These bandits are actually outcasts, wandering around and causing harm to the people around them.

"Get out of the way, Lao Tzu stop the carriage."

Suddenly, a burly man with a round waist and broad shoulders ran out of the bandits. The strong man roared, carried a wooden stick the thickness of a goose egg, and rushed quickly towards the carriage.

A guard immediately stood in front of him, blocking the man's advance.

"Hey!"

The man shouted suddenly, took a breath, picked up the wooden stick in his hand, and split Huashan in one go. The goose-egg-thick stick slammed down and slammed into the guard's shoulder.

"Click!"

The guard's bones shattered, and he was beaten to the ground by the man.

The surrounding guards tried to rescue, but they were entangled by the rest of the bandits and couldn't get out. The man grinned, poked the long stick in his hand, and poked it on the groom's chest, which made the groom feel angry and fainted. Immediately, the man took a few steps, rushed over, grabbed the horse's reins with one hand, and pressed the horse pulling the cart to a stop.

"Hahaha......"

The man laughed loudly and shouted: "The master of the village will definitely reward me if he gets the beauty in the carriage." He grinned innocently, stood by the carriage, and did not make any more moves.

The remaining eleven guards around couldn't stop the siege of more than 100 bandits after all, and they were all killed quickly.

In the carriage, two women were seated.

One of the women sat in the middle of the carriage, about in her early twenties, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and an elegant and outstanding temperament, who was Gui Liang's eighth daughter, Zhilan. The carriage was surrounded, and the accompanying guards were killed and wounded. Even if Zhilan remained calm, she couldn't hide the panic that flashed in her eyes, and her cream-like complexion was even more pale, revealing the cowardice in her heart.

Next to Zhilan sat a girl in a pale green dress, trembling, it was a maid butterfly.

"Miss, we are surrounded by bandits, will we be killed?"

Die'er had a panicked look in her eyes, her thin body tightened, and she leaned into the carriage and shivered. The little girl grew up in Guiliang Mansion since she was a child, but she didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

A hint of panic flashed in Zhilan's eyes, and Sakura's lips pursed tightly, trying to stay calm.

"Whew!!"

The curtain of the carriage door was rolled up, and a rough and vicious cheek met Zhilan's eyes.

This person's name is Xiao Shan, and he is the leader of more than 100 bandits.

Xiao Shan was originally an idle splash in Tai'an Mansion, and when he learned that Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing had established themselves as kings in Nanjing, he also grew his hair and wanted to climb Hong Xiuquan. It's a pity that no one recommended him, so he fell into the grass and became an ordinary bandit. Xiao Shan agitated the displaced people, and soon gathered a team of hundreds of people.

This time, it was the first time Xiao Shan had led someone to rob.

Xiao Shan smiled and said: "Beauty, it's great that you are the daughter of the military department." When you become Lao Tzu's woman, Lao Tzu is the son-in-law of the military department, you want the wind to be windy, and you want to rain and rain. ”

Zhilan turned pale, tugged at her skirt with both hands, and asked in a cold voice, "How do you know my identity?" ”

Xiao Shan said with a smile: "You took the guards to swagger through the city in Taishan Mansion, isn't it easy to find out your identity?" My beauty, you are a gift from God. I will treat you well, and I will let you give birth to a son for me, hahaha......" Speaking of this, Xiao Shan laughed loudly, stretched out his thick and fat left hand, and touched Zhilan's pretty face.

"Poof!"

Zhilan gritted her teeth, her right hand suddenly raised, and she held a hairpin and poked it on the back of Xiao Shan's hand.

"Ahh

A terrible scream sounded, which was heart-wrenching and heart-wrenching.

Xiao Shan thought that Zhilan didn't dare to resist, so he was not on guard.

The hairpin broke through the back of the hand, and it easily penetrated the thick palm. Blood flowed from the wounds, and it flowed like a pour, dripping on the wagon. Xiao Shan gritted his teeth and endured the pain, his face was hideous, and he scolded: "Stinky ***, Lao Tzu has taken a fancy to you, it is your blessing." You dare to resist, come out to Lao Tzu! ”

Xiao Shan's right hand stretched out and grabbed Zhilan's shoulder, trying to pull Zhilan out.

Zhilanxin actually took out another hairpin, ready to fight hard.

"Ahh

Xiao Shan's hand had just reached mid-air, and before he could grab Zhilan's shoulder, he let out a miserable scream.

"Bang!"

The burly body lost its balance and fell into the carriage. Zhilan looked down and found that there was a blood hole in the back of Xiao Shan's head, and blood flowed out of it, staining the carpet in the carriage red. Zhilan looked up, and through the curtain of the carriage, she found Gurdu and a young man galloping on horseback.

The young man was none other than Li Zhen, who was holding a sniper rifle in his hand and shot Xiao Shan, who was the murderer.

"The officers and soldiers are coming!"

When he was only a hundred meters away from the bandits, Li Zhen suddenly shouted.

His voice was thick and loud, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, clearly reaching the ears of the thieves around the carriage, and also into Zhilan's ears. Zhilan looked at Li Zhenze's vigorous and heroic posture galloping on his horse, and thought that Li Zhen had saved her with one shot, her agate-like eyes kept spinning, and her heart was pounding.

The next moment, Zhilan saw the man holding a wooden stick next to the carriage, and her face turned pale with fright. I saw the man holding a wooden stick and yelling: "Stinky woman, you killed the master of the village, Lao Tzu killed you." ”

The long stick the thickness of a goose egg slashed down, and it was about to hit the carriage.

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound, and a bloody hole appeared in the man's head.

The sticks fell and struck the roof of the carriage with a clang. The man's burly body fell to the ground and lost his breath. After Li Zhen sniped the man, he continued to shoot one after another. As he rode his horse, he aimed at those who were intent on the wagon, and every bullet killed him.

Gurdu cooperated with Li Zhen and also shouted: "The officers and soldiers are coming, the officers and soldiers are coming." ”

The roar rang out, and the bandits looked around.

Seeing that it was indeed the officers and soldiers who were killed, more than 100 bandits began to flee in all directions.

These bandits evolved from homeless people, and in the final analysis, they are still ordinary people, and they have an instinctive fear of officers and soldiers. In particular, Xiao Shan and the rest of the leaders were shot dead by Li Zhen, and they had lost their composure and no longer dared to approach the carriage. The thieves ran away, and Li Zhen and Gul quickly rushed to the side of the carriage.

Fifty soldiers followed, chasing down the fleeing bandits.

Guldu knelt on the ground and said, "Miss, the slave rescue is late, please punish Miss." ”

There was a smell of blood in the carriage, and Zhilan and Die'er got out of the carriage.

Zhilan said: "Guerdu, if you hadn't brought people to rescue me in time, I would have been kidnapped by the bandits." Not only are you innocent, but you are meritorious. When I get back to Beijing, I'll pay homage to Amma. ”

Gurdu clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, Miss!" ”

Zhilan looked at Li Zhen and said, "Zhilan remembered the grace of Engong for saving his life, thank you for saving him." ”

Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "It's just a matter of raising your hands, besides, Li Zhen rescued Miss on the orders of my family." After a pause, Li Zhen said again: "My family returned to Beijing to report on work, and Miss also returned to Beijing, plus Miss's escort is only one person, I'm afraid it's not safe." I dare to ask the young lady to go north with my family, and it can be regarded as a response. ”

Guldu stood beside Zhilan and whispered a few words.

Zhilan smiled coquettishly, nodded and said, "I didn't expect General Li to be Lord Qishan's general, since Lord Qishan returned to Beijing to report on his work, he would be annoyed by Lord Qishan." ”

Li Zhen nodded and said no more.

At that moment, Li Zhen ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, burn the dead, and then return to Qishan's resting place with Zhilan, Die'er, and Guldu. Li Zhen came to Qi Shan's side and told him about leaving Zhilan.

Qi Shan was even more overjoyed when he saw Li Zhen adapting to the situation.

He wants to have a good relationship with Gui Liang, and taking Zhilan back to Beijing is the best proof of this. Gui Liang owes him a favor, and it will be much more convenient to do things in the future. Qi Shan couldn't wronged Zhilan, so he ordered the soldiers to find a carriage for Zhilan, and the escort Gurdu personally drove it, and the group continued north towards Beijing.

ps: Two of the four watches, continue to ask for collections.
