On an official road stretching to the southeast, a cavalry of 300 men was moving silently and rapidly like a long flowing river.

This cavalry team wore the standard armor of the Han officers and soldiers, but did not display any flags, which made people wonder if this cavalry team, which looked like an official army, would be a rebel army.

The rebels turned their backs on the Han court, so naturally they would not raise the military flag of the Han army.

However, no one could have imagined that this cavalry was very special, neither an official army nor a rebel army, but a hereditary prince of the Han Empire.

Xuanyuan Chen was at the front of the team, riding side by side with Duan Qifeng and Xiao Tianming, who led the way, and the latter looked at Xuanyuan Chen from time to time, and all kinds of complicated feelings came to their hearts together.

When they heard the name Xuanyuan Chen, Duan Qifeng and Xiao Tianming's first reaction was shock, they had never heard of Xuanyuan Chen, and they didn't know that he was the King of Beiliang, but they were very clear about the meaning of the surname Xuanyuan.

In the Han Empire, only the descendants of the royal family had the surname Xuanyuan!

In addition to being shocked, the two were more puzzled, they didn't understand why a child of the royal family would not appear in his fiefdom but in Jiannan Dao, was it to suppress bandits and quell the rebellion?

This explanation doesn't make sense at all, the imperial court has never issued an order for the vassal king to lead his army into Jiannan Province, even if he really came to quell the rebellion, he should go to get in touch with the Longwu army, instead of staying on Longwang Mountain.

There is another point that shocks Duan Qifeng and Xiao Tianming the most, that is, without the permission of the imperial court, no vassal king can leave the fiefdom, and once he disobeys, it will be regarded as rebellion.

Could it be that this prince named Xuanyuan Chen is an anti-king?

Duan Qifeng and Xiao Tianming didn't dare to imagine it anymore, the truth might be more terrible than they were coerced up the mountain as thieves, but they also had a bit of optimism about what happened, after all, when Laocheng was destroyed, they had already died once, and no matter what happened in the future, they would be no worse than a dead word.

And the reason why Xuanyuan Chen dared to tell the two of them his name was because there was no point in concealing it.

He led 800 cavalry south to Jiannan Road, and he traveled lightly along the way, and he didn't make much movement, but he would definitely not be able to escape the ubiquitous eyes of the Han court, so he didn't care about letting a few more people know his identity.

Of course, Xuanyuan Chen's confession also had the intention of exchanging the favor of Duan Qifeng and Xiao Tianming.

His foundation is too weak, and his foothold in Jiannan Road is not stable, so he urgently needs talents to serve him.

And Duan Qifeng and Xiao Tianming can be regarded as good talents, and their conduct and ethics are also excellent, if they can get the sincere assistance of the two, it will definitely be the biggest gain since Xuanyuan Chen went south to Jiannan Dao.

The night was as deep as ink, and a bright moon was already hanging in the sky.

There are still about ten miles to go, and Xuanyuan Chen can reach the first destination of this trip, Li Zhuang.

learned from Xiao Tianming's mouth that Li Zhuang's family name is Li Zongwang, who is sixty years old this year, and outsiders will politely call him Mrs. Li.

This old lady Li's family is quite famous in the surrounding territory, but it is not a very prestigious family, nor is it a family with huge wealth or power, but it has always been the family that outsiders dare not mess with.

Because this family is still martial, the family style is extremely fierce.

Li Zongwang has seven children, both men and women are martial arts people, and the people of Li Zhuang are also martial arts, even six or seven years old children will punch and kick a few times, Zhuang also formed a village soldier of 500 people, in the past has been engaged in darts, as well as for the large families to take care of the home.

After the chaos in Jiannan Road, this township soldier became the guarantee of Li Zhuang's safety.

The strength of Li Zhuang is incomparable to the surrounding counties and towns.

Therefore, Li Zhuang attracted hundreds of people within a radius of dozens of miles to take refuge, Li Zongwang never refused in the face of the people who came to come, and in order to be able to accept more people, he summoned the rich households in the village, donated food and money, contributed people, expanded Li Zhuang, and built a fort for self-defense.

In just half a year, Li Zongwang almost rebuilt Lizhuang into an impregnable military fort, and the number of township soldiers increased from 500 to 1,000.

Li Zongwang is benevolent, but his net worth cannot be squandered unlimitedly, so everyone who enters Li Zhuang for refuge must provide a certain amount of food, and if there is no food, then he will be offset by manpower, and do some work within his ability in the village on weekdays, in short, the door of Li Zhuang is open, but it does not support idlers.

Li Zhuang can survive in the chaotic situation of Jiannan Dao, in addition to having the force to protect himself, but also thanks to Li Zongwang's exquisite methods.

At the beginning of the Jiannan Road rebellion, the official army and the thieves fought endlessly, whenever the official army was strong, Li Zhuang would set up the "Han" character banner, when the thieves were rampant, Li Zhuang would remove the "Han" character banner and replace it with the flag of the gang of thieves who were closest to him and the strongest force, just like when Lu San was there, Li Zhuang hung the "Dragon King" banner.

Everything is for survival, Li Zongwang's force is used for deterrence, not to compete with the Jiannan Dao heroes, and he understands the psychology of those thieves very well, and often offers some food and property to show obedience, so that the vanity of the thief leader can be satisfied, so as to keep Li Zhuang's peace.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Li Zongwang's approach to the wall is very despicable, but in the turbulent times where the situation is unknown, his approach is undoubtedly the wisest one.

After Xuanyuan Chen got to know Li Zhuang, he also recognized Li Zongwang's approach, relying on the other party's countless lives, Xuanyuan Chen would not be stingy to call him Old Lady Li, if Old Lady Li was willing to generously give food, Xuanyuan Chen was even willing to bow to him with the respect of the royal family, surrender his identity, and bow to him to thank him.

In the gallop of the horse, Xuanyuan Chen's face had a look of anticipation.

At this moment, the scout in charge of the front guard came galloping, stopped in front of Xuanyuan Chen and said: "Childe, three or four unknown people appeared five miles ahead, and their whereabouts were very secretive.

After Xuanyuan Chen listened, his brows couldn't help but tighten, and he immediately ordered to stop advancing.

When the officers of the Beiliang Army gathered over, Xuanyuan Chen's face condensed slightly: "A suspicious trace was found ahead, and he could come and go in front of our army scouts without a trace, the other party must not be an ordinary person."

Someone asked, "Could it be a scout of the thieves?"

Duan Qifeng hesitated, and said loudly: "The people in this place are basically hiding in Li Zhuang, unless the thieves are coming for Li Zhuang, they won't be able to get any oil and water, so there are very few thieves who haunt this place."

Xiao Tianming shook his head after hearing this, and said: "Thieves really rarely haunt here, but everything has accidents, if there are really thieves secretly watching, there is only one explanation." His eyes flashed and he looked at Xuanyuan Chen: "It's very likely that the thieves are coming at us."

After hearing this, everyone's hearts sank, thinking that the trouble caused by the destruction of the Dragon King Village would come so soon?

The night was as thick as ink, and the faint moonlight was obscured by the floating clouds from time to time, leaving only a hazy light and shadow on the earth, except for the sound of the wind echoing in the air, no sound could be heard in the whole night.

It's so quiet, so quiet that people are apprehensive, and many people subconsciously look at the night around them, as if they have felt the danger lurking in the dark.

Suddenly, a sound came, like ice, which froze the killing intent of the night, and also made everyone's hearts tremble.

Leng Junao's face was as indifferent as ever, but his eyes flashed with an aurora that pierced through the darkness, and the corners of his mouth showed a cold smile: "Since someone is eyeing us, then we will give them a chance!"

That's it, and there are no more words.

The body of the majestic shore is like a mountain condensation, and in the dark night, it is like a god descending.

No matter if there is an enemy in front of him, or if there is an ambush, no one can stop him in the road he wants to set foot on.

A pride that defies heaven and earth! Whoever I want to be domineering! God blocks the madness of killing God!

This is Leng Junao, the unique Leng Junao!

Duan Qifeng and Xiao Tianming glanced at each other, their hearts were awe-inspiring at this cold man's determination, while the rest of the people raised their heads one after another, their expressions filled with endless excitement.

Xuanyuan Chen looked around at everyone, there was no empty look like Leng Junao in his eyes, all he could see was calmness and resoluteness, after a while, he suddenly raised one hand, clenched his fists and said: "Peers, fight together!"

Everyone responded in unison: "Together, fight together!"

Xuanyuan Chen seemed a little hesitant just now, not because his blood bravery and self-confidence were inferior to Leng Jun's arrogance, but because he needed to be a little more cautious and careful.

He is the commander of the Beiliang Army, and he is responsible for every soldier under his command.

The Northern Liang Army went down the mountain to Lizhuang, which was Xuanyuan Chen's temporary decision, and it was impossible for the thieves to know in advance and prepare early, so it was impossible to gather heavy troops and set up an ambush.

And if it was only a small number of thieves, how could they threaten the three hundred cavalry of the Beiliang Army.

Therefore, Xuanyuan Chen dared to ignore the thief's trail and chose to continue to march towards Li Zhuang.

The sky and the earth are cold, and they can't freeze the boiling blood.

As Xuanyuan Chen took the lead, the three hundred cavalry galloped again, like a gust of wind, whistling and roaring, desolate and indifferent, treating everything as a dog......
