Weiyuan Hou Xun is not confused as he gets older, his face is red and broad, and his cheekbones are towering, which makes his eyes appear deep, and he turns around with a flash of cold light from time to time. The Xun family is one king and five marquis, he ranks fourth, is in charge of the governor of southern Henan, and leads the military and political affairs of southern Henan, which can be described as powerful.

Xun Jie folded the plain white letter into a strip, wrapped it around his thick fingers, pulled it out again, and reread it very carefully, for fear of missing a word.

Xun Zhuwu stood aside, his eyes fixed on the bronze paperweight beast on the low table, but the afterglow was on Xun Jie's uncertain face, wondering if Xun Jie's proposition was good, whether he should report this matter to the family master.

Xun Jie's eyes suddenly appeared, his voice was slightly gloomy, and he said, "Candle Wu, what do you think of General Qingfeng's sudden appearance in Shangnan?" ”

Xun Zhuwu replied in a low voice: "The villain seems to be very knowledgeable, and he has no opinion. ”

Xun Jie said: "You killed a thousand-mile horse overnight and personally handed over the letter to me, how can you have no opinion?" Don't think that my second brother values you, and I can't do anything about you. Xun Jie's voice in the last sentence suddenly became stern.

Xun Zhuwu was not overly frightened, and said: "Candle Wu doesn't dare, it's just that the matter is very important, and Candle Wu doesn't dare to make arbitrary comments and affect Hou Ye's judgment." When General Qingfeng and Fairy Qin entered the Yuanju Tower, Candle Wu saw it with his own eyes, and his body shape and appearance were very consistent with those described in the Donghai County Line Report. Yesterday afternoon, the storyteller Liu Mazi closed the bookstore, announcing that he wanted to rewrite the love story between General Qingfeng and the Qin Fairy. There are two people who have Qin Fairy and Liu Mazi confirmed his identity, which should be true. As for his intention to go to Shangnan, Zhu Wu was really ignorant and did not dare to speculate. ”

Xun Jie scolded secretly: I haven't said a word I want to hear for a long time, if it weren't for the second brother who accepted you as a righteous son, you would still be a dog now. Xun Jie casually threw the letter on the bookcase and said, "Why don't you pass the letter directly to my second brother?" ”

Xun Zhuwu said: "The prince has instructed Candlewu, and the affairs of Shangnan are led by you, Lord Hou. ”

Xun Jie said: "Since your person is here in person, you still have to write a letter?" But when the letter was sent back to Jining, even if it was 800 miles expedited, it would take some time. What do you say we should do now, will the strategy set by my second brother to drive away wolves and tigers continue, or will we wipe out the horse gang forces in Henan Mansion now? ”

Xun Zhuwu said: "Whether the Magang forces are cleared or not should have nothing to do with the overall situation, seizing Shangnan Town, and then using the forces of Zhang Dong's relics in Qianshan and Susong to seize Nanyang and Qinghe is the key. I have secretly agreed with Zhang Xuyang that as long as our Fenjun army captures Shangnan Town and prevents the Huo family's forces from intervening in Nanyang, the 20,000 elite soldiers he leads will belong to my Xun family. ”

Xun Jie snorted coldly and said, "The Zhang family has been in such a bleak scene since Zhang Dong's death. Baishi's tens of millions of foundations were all obtained by Xu Bodang, and the remaining 40,000 elite soldiers were sandwiched between the Jiangjin Yi family, the Qinghe Li family, and the Nanyang Fu family, which took advantage of the situation, and only 20,000 horses were consumed in six years, and there were only two small cities on the territory. I think he was also desperate before he thought of joining my Xun family. After a pause, he said: "Originally, the second brother's decision to seize Shangnan was seamless, but Xu Ruyu suddenly appeared, which is really confusing. Thinking that Yi Zhouwu, Xu Bodang, and Gongliang Youqin were plotting for Donghai County, that strategy seemed seamless at first glance, but it made him break it alive, could it be that the heirs of Xu Xing and Wu Chu were really so powerful? ”

Xun Zhuwu said: "When General Qingfeng first arrived in Shangnan, he deliberately concealed his identity, and even Jiang Youli put grass ash on his face, and later helped Luo Qiu to molest Jiang Youli's maid in Danjiang Cao in Mashi, Xu Ruyu was forced to show his peerless force, so as to attract the attention of various forces. Huo Qingtong is in love with Jiang Youli but can't, Xu Ruyu and Jiang Youli are married, it should be a big scar on Huo Qingtong's heart, and the Danjiang Cao Gang should not join forces with Xu Ruyu to play the play in Mashi. ”

"Before Jiang Youli and Xu Ruyu met, they stayed in Jinyang for three months, and no one would have thought that General Qingfeng, who was famous all over the world, was once a small servant on Youli's flower boat. When Jiang Youli performed in Jining four years ago, I still remember that sick little servant stood beside her, and at that time, Candle Wu You were just a subordinate who served wine and food. The world is probably so unpredictable, haha......"

Xun Zhuwu listened to his piercing laughter, and secretly hated in his heart, and said in a flat voice: "Hou Ye's meaning is that Xu Ruyu just happened to pass through Shangnan, not for the bandit leader in Funiu Mountain. ”

Xun Jie said loudly: "Of course. Xu Ruyu temporarily abandoned the post of governor of Yongyang Mansion, just to go to Jinyang to secretly pick up Jiang Youli. Jiang Youli's Xiang Xu Ruyu* will undoubtedly anger Huo Qingtong, and he will not be able to return to Donghai County along the Han River and the Great River, so he has to take the land route, Shangnan Town is the only place to pass by land, and Xu Ruyu does not need to make a fuss when he appears in Shangnan Town. ”

"Although he didn't come to Funiu Mountain, since he came, he wouldn't sit idly by and ignore the Ma Gang and Xiangfan Society, and Master Hou needed to be cautious. Yesterday, it was said that General Qingfeng had not appeared in Shangnan Town, although it was rumored that Liu Mazi pestered him to write about Xu Jiang's love, but after all, it made people suspicious. And there was news from Luanchuan City that Xu Boying led the two of them to enter the city last night, and someone forcibly broke into Henan City in the early hours of the morning, all of which made people have to guard against it. ”

Xun Candle Wu said: "Candle Wu thinks so. Now the emergency ordered the Luanchuan City Guards to block the official road and the Funiu Mountain Pass, and urgently transferred the 2,000 Datong Battalion Army Iron Cavalry stationed in Luochuan to round up Xu Ruyu. ”

Xun Jie said: "You mean to give up the plan to capture Shangnan? ”

Xun Zhuwu said firmly: "Yes, the strategy set by the prince to seize Shangnan is very likely to be seen through by him, it was rumored that the six handsome people could lead to the world, and General Qingfeng's reputation is bound to be above his father Xu Xing." If he returns to the Xun family, the Xun family wins tens of thousands of elite soldiers, if he does not return to the Xun family, he should be removed in time to avoid future troubles. ”

Xun Jie smiled: "Aren't you afraid that the Xun family will take your position?" ”

Xun Zhuwu secretly hated, but he had to say: "Candle Wu is only thinking about the Xun family, heaven and earth can be learned, and I hope that the Hou Ye will not doubt it." ”

Xun Jie said: "Xu Ruyu can achieve prestige in Donghai County, but with the help of the power of the Chen clan, this place is more than a thousand miles away from the East China Sea, I don't believe that he alone can turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain." Don't say anything more, and see what Xu Ji does. ”

At this time, Li Zhen, the governor of southern Henan, asked to see him, saying that the horse gang now had a large convoy to transport goods to Shangnan and apply for customs clearance. The issuance of customs clearance documents was originally issued by the government guard yamen, but it was related to the horse gang, so Li Zhen came to ask for instructions.

Xun Jie looked at the tender yellow silk book, laughed wildly, threw the silk book in front of Xun Zhuwu, and said sharply: "Look, Xu Ji is going to escape." If Xu Ruyu is really in the southern city of Henan, I think he is nothing more than that. Passed on my hand: Luochuan's 20,000 battalions left the official road of Yihe and secretly marched to Luanchuan City along the northern foot of Bear's Ears Mountain. Candle Wu, as long as the Ma Gang crosses the Funiu Mountain Pass, we can declare the world, the Ma Gang rebelled from Fen County, colluded with the Xiangfan Society, and then took the opportunity to occupy Shangnan. At that time, the Huo family could only suffer this dumb loss. ”

Xun Zhuwu was stunned there, and said secretly: General Qingfeng is really trying to make a name for himself, doesn't he know that the Ma Gang forces have completely withdrawn from southern Henan for no reason, and will leave the crime of betrayal, and will be suspected of colluding with Xiangfan? At that time, the Xun family's entry into Shangnan was justified, and the Huo family could not be blamed, so they would not start a war lightly. Maybe Xu Ruyu didn't come to Henan City at this time, and it was only Xu Boying and the other two who forcibly entered the city last night.

Xun Zhuwu also hesitated for a while.

When Xu Boying came out of the yamen guarding the mansion, he broke out in a cold sweat, and the cool breeze blew, and he unconsciously fought a cold war. Xu Ji, Xu Ruyu and others were looking at the Mabang General Hall, and when they saw Xu Boying taking back the customs clearance documents, they knew that Xun Zhuwu's return to southern Henan at night did not bring any changes.

Xu Ruyu said: "The elite soldiers of the Xun family in Luochuan want to appear in Luanchuan City quietly, and if the Huo family does not react, they will only move along the northern slope of Bears Ears Mountain. Bo Ying, how long does it take for 20,000 foot soldiers to travel along the northern slope of Bears Ears Mountain? ”

Xu Boyingxian was very familiar with the geography of southern Henan, and replied without thinking about it: "It takes eight days to travel from Luochuan City to Luanchuan City along the northern slope of Bear's Ear Mountain. ”

Xu Ru smiled foolishly: "Eight days is enough." But was it too slow for our convoy to walk along the official road for eight days? Why don't we go to Miaozi Town and stop for a few days first, so that all the families in Shangnan have enough time to react. ”

Xu Boying said: "Uncle will lead their families to evacuate secretly, of course, no matter how secret, they can't avoid Xun Jie's eyes and ears, but they have to make a difference, which is really embarrassing." Now do we have to find some reasonable excuse for the caravan to leave southern Henan? ”

At this moment, Xu Ji and Shao Ruyan walked in and said with a grin: "This matter has been arranged by Song Gouzi, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Xu Ruyu said: "Ruyan, weren't you the first to leave, why are you still here?" ”

Shao Ruyan said: "I'll go with you." ”

Xu Ruyu frowned slightly, she had seen her temper with her surname, for fear of suddenly rejecting her and giving birth to other rights and wrongs, she glanced at Xu Boying with a side face, Xu Boying suddenly looked depressed, and the meaning in her eyes was clear: This girl has a very bad temper, and I don't have a trick. Xu Ruyu looked at Shao Ruyan angrily, and saw that the two blood marks on her left cheek had not disappeared, but they did not damage her gorgeous face at all, her expression was childish but firm, and she sighed: "It's up to you, but you have to remember that you can't leave me half a step from now on." After saying that, he regretted it, Shao Ruyan had already grabbed his arm.

Xu Ruyu looked at Xu Boying with a bitter look on his face and said, "Did Jing Cheng have such a headache as me at the beginning?" ”

Xu Boying nodded and smiled: "Da Lang has been the object of worship of all the children of the Xiangfan Society since he was a child, and headaches are naturally unavoidable......" was about to continue, but when he saw Shao Ruyan's vicious gaze, he closed his mouth and showed Xu Ruyu an expression that I am willing to replace.

Xu Ruyu, Xu Boying, and Shao Ruyan led a huge convoy of hundreds of zhang slowly like ants on the official road from southern Henan to Luanchuan. The carts are all excellent war horses selected by the caravan, shiny horseshoes, dark saddles, and driving is naturally the elite children of the caravan.

Xu Ruyu half-squinted his eyes and was drowsy, Shao Ruyan accosted him without saying a word, and didn't care whether he responded or not, she was happy to say it, and she couldn't stop giggling. Xu Boying couldn't hide a trace of panic between his expressions, and turned his head to look behind him from time to time.

Xu Ruyu said lazily: "Bo Ying, Xun Zhuwu led the Xun family's five hundred iron horses to walk more leisurely than us, what are you nervous about?" ”

Xu Boying squeezed out a smile, but before it could be unfolded, he froze on his face, and subconsciously glanced at it, before responding to Xu Ruyu's words: "Fortunately, there is Ruyu, otherwise I really don't know what to do." Xun Zhuwu has been following him with five hundred elite horsemen for four days, and he is afraid that he already knows that you are in the convoy. ”

"What can he do if he knows? Xun Jie led 20,000 elites in the Bears Ears Mountain, a hundred miles away, and there were only 5,000 guards in Luanchuan City. He led five hundred iron horsemen, and we also had two hundred elites. If he dares to charge, we will compare the war horses over there with him, Bo Ying, don't tell me that the war horses carefully selected by your horse gang can't outrun the war horses of the Xun family. ”

Xu Boying knew that he had this idea in his heart, and thought that the families of the Ma Gang in southern Henan had all been evacuated to Shangnan, and there was no need to fight with Xun Zhuwu here. Thinking about it like this, my heart suddenly settled down a lot, but I felt a little ashamed of the panic I had just had.

Xu Ruyu saw Xu Boying hanging his head in frustration, and naturally knew what he was thinking, so he smiled and said: "When I first led the troops into battle, my palms were also cold sweat, and my legs and stomach trembled. Now that I'm used to it, if I had to give Bo Ying a strong courage here, I would have slept in the carriage a long time ago. ”

Xu Boying's face was flushed when he told him, but he understood his good intentions, and he sighed lightly, only to feel that the turbidity in his heart was gone, and his chest was full of clouds, and he said: "Ru Yu go into the car and sleep, and I will call you during the meal." ”

The 200-mile official road from southern Henan to Luanchuan, the convoy walked for five days, at noon on October 3, the 52nd year of the new dynasty, Xu Boying saw the gray north gate tower of Luanchuan City crawling out from the horizon, Xu Boying waved his hand, let the convoy behind him stop, and was just about to call Xu Ruyu, who was sleeping in the carriage, but saw Xu Ruyu pull the curtain and jump out.

Xu Ruyu said: "Get on the horse and form a prismatic array." Then he waved his hand like a blade to cut the bridle, straddled the horse, and galloped to the wilderness on the west side of the official road. The horse gang all drew their blades to cut off their blades, and they all controlled their horses to gallop behind Xu Ruyu, and instantly formed a prismatic charging and riding formation on the wasteland.

Xu Boying and Shao Ruyan controlled the horse and galloped to Xu Ruyu's side. Xu Ruyu jumped off the horse and let Shao Ruyan come down. Shao Ruyan saw that Xu Ruyu untied her saddle and put it on his horse, pulled the short gun Xu Boying gave her into a bowl-sized gun, and muttered: "I can also kill the enemy." ”

Xu Ruyu grabbed Shao Ruyan's arm, lifted her up in front of him, jumped on the horse together, put it on the saddle, and said, "Kill the enemy? We're running for our lives now. After that, he took the long knife handed over by Xu Boying, slapped it with his hand, and slapped the short gun in Shao Ruyan's hand straight into the ground. There was a soft sound, leaving only an egg-sized black hole on the hard yellow earth. Xu Boying and the caravan in the front row all gasped when they saw that Xu Ruyu's casual shot was so powerful, and the mood that was still very nervous just now suddenly relaxed.

Shao Ruyan said reluctantly: "Sister Zhaorong is still going into battle to kill the enemy, why can't I?" ”

Xu Ruyu bared his teeth angrily and said: "There are a thousand guards of Luanchuan City lying there, you go and kill it, I won't stop you." ”

Shao Ruyan pursed her mouth, looked at Xu Ruyu with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said in a delicate voice: "I don't believe it." ”

"Do you believe I tied it to a horse?"

Shao Ruyan wanted to say something more, but saw Xu Ruyu's face suddenly sank, her heart was suffocated, and her face turned pale in an instant, she only felt that she had never been so wronged, her beautiful eyes blinked a few times, and tears almost fell down.

Xu Ru said loudly without replying: "Follow me closely and let Xun Zhuwu take a look at the men of the horse gang." With that, the leader rushed back the way he came.

Xun Zhuwu noticed that the caravan suddenly stopped, knowing that they had already discovered the ambush outside Luanchuan City, he didn't think that the ambush soldiers of 1,000 people on each of the three roads could really stop General Qingfeng, and the real combat power was still the 500 iron cavalry behind him. Xun Zhuwu just wanted to give the order to charge, but when he saw the dust rising in the distance, rushing here, he was shocked, and the first thought in his heart was that he thought that Xu Ru was suffering from madness, and he dared to use two hundred congregants to attack five hundred iron horses.

Xun Zhuwu didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly ordered the five hundred iron horsemen behind him to draw arrows with bows, holding the Zhang'er Xuan Iron Halberd with both hands, staring at the rushing smoke and dust, and he could already see two people sitting on the leading horse. Xun Zhuwu felt that something was wrong, and saw that the two hundred horsemen who were rushing suddenly stopped their momentum, only the leading horse stopped outside the original, and the remaining two hundred horsemen suddenly folded into the wilderness, turned back and galloped towards the southeast mountain.

Only then did Xun Zhuwu understand that they were not going to charge at them, but to jump out of the encirclement of the Luanchuan guards in front. Xun Zhuwu asked the five hundred iron horsemen to hang up their short bows, waved the Xuantie halberd with one hand, and galloped into the wilderness in the lead, chasing after the horse gang.

Xu Ruyu saw that Xun Zhuwu ignored him, and led the crowd to chase after Xu Boying, and sighed secretly: This is a powerful opponent, and he can make the most correct judgment so suddenly.

Xu Ruyu lightly controlled the horse's head and rushed towards the five hundred iron horsemen led by Xun Zhuwu. Shao Ruyan's face suddenly turned pale, but she didn't expect Xu Ruyu to dare to rush straight towards the murderous Datong Iron Horse, and in the blink of an eye, she could feel the strength of the five hundred Iron Horsemen, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat. Shao Ruyan exclaimed, closed her eyes and hugged Xu Ruyu's tiger waist.

Xun Zhuwu didn't expect Xu Ruyu to have the courage to rush straight to the five hundred iron horses, does he really have the strength of a grandmaster, a thought flashed, even if he really has the strength of a grandmaster, the situation cannot be avoided by himself, Xun Zhuwu gritted his teeth and poured all the Dan breath into the Xuantie halberd, and suddenly the Xuantie halberd had a faint brilliance flowing, and stabbed directly at Xu Ruyu's strongest momentum.

Xu Ruyu's body fell back slightly, and the horse under the seat jumped high like a spiritual sense. Xun Zhuwu never expected that Xu Ruyu would be able to distract himself from his mount, and the shot that stabbed him in the front fell into the air, and Dan Jin took off the gun and hit the belly of the horse that passed through the air. Xun Zhuwu shouted that he didn't feel bad, he didn't dare to raise his head, and he didn't want to drift to the left, the old force had gone to the new force when he was about to be born, only to feel a huge force surging to the right arm, Xun Candlewu didn't have time to completely unload the huge force, his heart was suffocated, and he fell straight into the iron cavalry from mid-air.

When Xun Zhuwu touched the ground, his arms were flat, his body was as uncertain as fluttering, and he quickly attached himself to the belly of the galloping horse. Xu Ruyu saw that Xun Zhuwu could avoid the trampling of his own iron cavalry in this way, he was amazed, knowing that his strength was extraordinary, he didn't dare to entangle anymore, his left hand wrapped around Shao Ruyan, swung his knife on an iron halberd that stabbed him, jumped up with his strength, and when he left the horse, his right foot hit the horse's back, and the behemoth horse corpse that was full of Dan Jin crashed into the Datong Iron Cavalry Formation like a superstar. There was a loud bang, and the five horsemen were smashed into a ball of flesh and blood by the horse corpse. The iron cavalry behind couldn't avoid it, and rushed into one place again and again.

Xu Ruyu fell to the right side of the iron cavalry array, taking advantage of the enemy's chaos, swinging his knife to cut, intuition on the upper left side of the murderous aura, without raising his head, his left hand suddenly let go of Shao Ruyan, and a punch poked out, like a giant branch stretching, right in the middle of the tip of the Xuantie halberd stabbed by Xun Zhuwu. Xun Candle Wu never felt that there was a Dan Jin exchange, but his Pei Ran Dan Jin stored at the tip of the halberd had nowhere to vent, and he wanted to urge him to strike again, but he saw the tip of the Xuantie halberd suddenly cracking, Xun Candlewu's left palm slapped the halberd handle and flashed to the left, and the Xuantie halberd was like an arrow off the string, inserting Xun Candlewu's waist and shooting backwards. Xun Zhuwu didn't need to look back, he knew that the iron halberd that had escaped had already pierced the bodies of the two knights.

Only then did Xun Zhuwu realize that Xu Ruyu's seemingly unintentional palm actually contained such power. Looking at Xu Ruyu's figure slowly disappearing like a trail of smoke, Xun Candlewu's mind was a little sudden, the seemingly fierce Datong Iron Cavalry Rush was so vulnerable in front of him, his strength may not be much higher than his own, as long as he can entangle him for a moment, he will not worry that he will not lose his life under the five hundred Iron Cavalry, but will he let me entangle? The extremely clever tactics make people have to be convinced, no wonder a tough master like Yi Zhouwu will also hate his subordinates.

Xun Zhuwu looked at the mess of five hundred iron horses behind him with a wry smile, and in just a moment, nineteen people died under his sword. Xun Zhuwu realized that the top priority was to get rid of Xu Ruyu, and ordered the queue to be reorganized, forming a prismatic formation and chasing Xu Ruyu.

Shao Ruyan didn't dare to open her eyes during the fierce battle, and when Xu Ruyu took her away, she looked back at the chaotic enemy horseman, and looked at Xu Ruyu's side face incredulously. Xu Boying led more than 30 people to wait in front, and Xu Ruyu hugged her soft waist and chased Xu Boying with his cloud stepping technique, which was like thunder, which made Xu Boying and others amazed.

Xu Ruyu floated on a war horse, let Ruyan sit in front of him, turned the horse's head and galloped towards Miaozi Town.
