After Zeng Zhilin and Muttel led the ranger squad back to their camp, they took Yan Chongren, who rushed with them, and Yan Chongren's little sister Yan Ruhua, into the Chinese army's tent and joined Qian Yuanshan and Tang Chao, who were already waiting there.

Seeing the second miss of the Yan family coming in with Zeng Zhilin and others, Qian and Tang couldn't help but be a little stunned. Their performance was already expected by Zeng Zhilin, because before he led his troops out of Qiulin Village, when he saw this Yan family's second group like her eldest brother, wearing armor and holding a flower gun, he didn't say anything for a long time - although this era is not like the later Song, Ming, Qing and other dynasties that restricted women, especially women from large families, so badly, and implemented a system of not leaving the gate and not stepping out of the second door, but it is also very rare to let the daughter of his own family still show the pavilion to go into battle to fight.

Moreover, even in the era of equality between men and women, there were only a limited number of women who joined the army and fought directly on the front lines. Therefore, at first glance, when they saw Yan Ruhua's dress, Zeng Zhilin and Muttel couldn't help but look at Yan Chongren after being stunned for a moment. And this Yan Dagongzi just smiled at the two of them, and did not give a definite answer. Seeing Yan Chongren's expression, Zeng and Mu naturally understood that this Second Miss Yan was afraid that she had some privileges in the Yan family, and she dared to do so because of the permission of Old Lady Yan. Since the eldest prince of Yan didn't stop his sister from going into battle, it was inconvenient for the two of them to say anything, so they each pulled the saddle and got on their horses, and rushed out of the village to kill.

However, Yan Chongren's reaction at this time was still a little different from that in Qiulin Village. Seeing Qian and Tang's surprised faces, he hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "The younger sister in Xia is influenced by the second brother in Xia and Xia, and she has been good at using guns and sticks since she was a child. And her father was the most doting and indulgent to her, and when he saw that she liked these, he asked the two brothers to teach her martial arts. After practicing over the years, there are some small successes. Therefore, in the past two years, whenever the thieves of 'Baihua Village' came to harass the village, Xiaomei often fought against the thieves with the three brothers, and also went through some battles. Therefore, in this battle with the bandits of 'Baihuazhai', my father allowed my little sister to participate, which can be regarded as a contribution to the people of Zhuangzhong, and it is not in vain that everyone calls her a second miss. ”

Then, he said to Zeng Zhilin and Muttle: "Because of the urgency of the military situation, I failed to explain the reason to the two, and I hope the two will not be surprised." ”

After listening to Yan Chongren's explanation, Qian Yuanshan, Zeng Zhilin and others also showed a clear expression. Zeng Zhilin even more politely praised this Yan Ruhua Yan Second Miss a few words. In this regard, Yan Chongren was naturally humble again and again, and said that his sister was just a lively little girl, and when it came to real skills, she could not be compared with all the righteous people.

Regarding Yan Chongren's humble words, Qian Yuanshan and others didn't care very much. This kind of politeness is nothing more than an official phrase when dealing with others, and they themselves often say it. But what they didn't expect was that Yan Chongren's politeness attracted his own sister's dissatisfaction. The second young lady, who has always been rude, pouted unhappily and said, "Big brother's words are so unreasonable. Although the little sister is a woman, she thinks that she is no worse than any man. In tonight's battle, Xiaomei slashed seven or eight bandits. ”

Seeing that his sister was so humble in front of outsiders, Yan Chongren felt very embarrassed. So he picked up the eldest brother's shelf, put on a reprimanding look, and said: "At such a young age, I don't know the height of the sky, and I dare to speak so boldly in front of all capable people and righteous people. If Fang Cai hadn't commanded the rescue in time, I'm afraid that you would have been killed by the leader of the 'Baihua Village' on horseback. ”

As soon as Yan Chongren said this, Yan Ruhua, who was still alive just now, was suddenly deflated. Because what his eldest brother said was not wrong at all, when he was chasing the rout of "Baihuazhai" just now, he almost lost his life because of the light enemy.

It turned out that after Yan Ruhua rushed out of Qiulin Village with the ranger squad, he rushed straight to the bandit brigade that had fallen into chaos. And after she successfully killed two or three bandits, her self-confidence immediately exploded. At this moment, she found that among the bandits who were fleeing in a hurry, several of them were on horseback—among the minions of the "Baihua Village" who were mostly infantry, the one who could ride the horse must be the leader. Therefore, she was full of confidence, and without thinking about it, she jumped on the horse and chased after her with a gun. ,

Unexpectedly, her move forced the group that fled in front. At first, a dozen or so hiking bandits turned around to intercept her, but they were quickly killed by her. Seeing that these minions could not stop the opponent, one of the bandit leaders on horseback in the group could not help but be furious, and while letting the others go first, he urged the horse to dance and meet him. At this time, Yan Ruhua was still immersed in the "brilliant record" of picking several bandits, and did not take the leader of the bandits rushing towards him in his eyes. She shook the spear in her hand, and wanted to give the other party a throat three shots.

This move, Yan Ruhua, has already practiced well, no matter whether the opponent is fighting, pulling, or hiding, she has a back move waiting. But she forgot that the other party was a lance, and that it was Ma Shuo, who was much longer than the spear in her hand. Therefore, before her spear could threaten the other party, the bandit leader on the opposite side had already taken advantage of the length of the horse lance in his hand and stabbed her in the chest.

The other party is obviously also a person with strong martial arts, and this lance stabbed so quickly and ruthlessly that Yan Ruhua had to put away his gun and parry outward. However, the horse lance is a heavy weapon, and those who dare to use the horse lance are those who are strong and powerful. Therefore, although Yan Ruhua's parry made the tip of the lance slightly skewed, it did not completely set up the opponent's lance. Seeing that the tip of the opponent's lance was about to pierce his right ribs, Yan Ruhua had to twist his waist and turn his hips to avoid the opponent's fatal blow as much as possible.

Fortunately, Yan Ruhua has practiced martial arts since childhood, and his waist is extremely soft and flexible. It's just that although the tip of the lance has been dodged, at this time, Yan Ruhua's entire body has been twisted to the limit and has lost the foundation of strength. Seeing this, the leader of the bandits on the opposite side immediately turned his thorn into a pull, and with his arm outward, he used his heavy lance to sweep Yan Ruhua, who had lost his strength, under the horse.

Because the speed of the war horse was not slow at this time, Yan Ruhua, who fell off the horse, fell not lightly, and he could neither stand up for a while, nor have the ability to roll to the side. And the leader of the bandits was unforgiving, pulled out the horse's head, and stabbed Yan Ruhua who was lying on the ground.

Just when this twenty-eight years old, born with a beautiful appearance and a beautiful appearance, and before she had time to enjoy life, was about to die on the spot, a loud shout suddenly came from the oblique stab, and then a horizontal knife that was rare in this era flashed cold light and flew straight towards the bandit leader.

This knife came quickly and accurately, forcing the bandit leader to retract and fight, thus giving Yan Ruhua precious time to escape. At this time, Yan Ruhua had already woken up from the ignorance just now, and quickly hid outside the attack range of the bandit leader Ma Lance, which could be regarded as picking up a life.

It was Zeng Zhilin who threw a knife to save people, after he slashed several bandits, he saw the precarious scene just now by the light of the burning trees around him, and in a hurry, he threw the imitation Tang horizontal knife made by the team himself at the leader of the bandits on the horse, so that Yan Ruhua was out of danger - in fact, Zeng Zhilin was not the only one who saw Yan Ruhua fall off the horse, but the others were a little far away, and they couldn't help if they wanted to.

However, although Zeng Zhilin helped Yan Ruhua get out of danger, he angered the bandit leader. The leader no longer paid attention to Yan Ruhua, who had already escaped, and urged the horse towards Zeng Zhilin, who was already barehanded.

Just now, Zeng Zhilin was worried about Yan Ruhua's safety, but now it was changed to Yan Ruhua's concern for Zeng Zhilin's safety. Because Yan Ruhua saw it very clearly, Zeng Zhilin, who threw the horizontal knife in his hand, was already empty-handed, and he did not have any weapons to fight in the face of the bandit leader who rushed over. It's just that Ren Yan Ruhua is so anxious, and when the gun and horse are gone, she can only watch Zeng Zhilin in danger and be powerless.

Moreover, just like when Yan Ruhua was in distress just now, although some people saw the situation here, on the one hand, everyone was far away, and on the other hand, the soldiers of the Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion did not dare to shoot to help because they were afraid of being injured by mistake, so Zeng Zhilin at this time had to rely on himself to deal with the bandit leader on the opposite side, who was already a little murderous.

Seeing that the bandit leader was getting closer and closer to Zeng Zhilin, Yan Ruhua's heart, who was in a hurry and couldn't do anything, had already raised his throat. However, what made her feel a little strange was that the unarmed Zeng Zhilin was very calm in the face of the bandit leader who rushed towards her. Looking at his appearance, it seems that it is not himself who is about to lose his life, but the leader of the bandits who rushes towards him with his teeth and claws. ,

Just when Yan Ruhua was both shocked and suspicious, he saw Zeng Zhilin unhurriedly take out a very strange-looking thing from a bag hanging in front of the saddle, and after pulling it twice in his hand, he put it on his shoulder and pointed at the bandit leader who was rushing over.

As the tip of the strange object erupted a few bits of fire and a few "bang!" Bang! Bang! After the explosion, the body of the bandit leader who had been rushing over violently suddenly stiffened, and then softened like a deflated ball. First, the horse lance in his hand fell to the ground, and then he also cut off the saddle. It is estimated that his feet were still stuck in the horses, so the bandit leader, who was no longer alive, did not immediately fall off his horse, but was dragged by the horse for a long distance before being thrown to the ground.

It was only at this time that the stone in Yan Ruhua's heart fell to the ground. She endured the pain in her body and came to Zeng Zhilin's horse to thank him for saving her life. And Zeng Zhilin didn't seem to take this seriously, just smiled, said "a little effort", and called a few soldiers to protect Yan Ruhua, while picking up the horizontal knife he threw out and continuing to kill the enemy.

It is precisely because of this dangerous encounter that when Yan Chongren criticized her, Yan Ruhua couldn't find a reason to refute her eldest brother, and she was full of energy just now, and she couldn't stand up anymore at this time. But the second miss of the Yan family, who has always been willful, is naturally unwilling to give in easily. Although she didn't pay attention to arguing with her eldest brother, it didn't affect her to find a breakthrough to vent from other directions. So, after standing there for a long time, our rude, willful Miss Yan Er, complained to Zeng Zhilin, who saved her life: "It's all your fault, who asked you to save people, causing people to be so faceless in front of the eldest brother, hum!" ”

After speaking, Yan Ruhua turned around and ran out of the Chinese military tent. Seeing that his sister was so willful, Yan Chongren, as the eldest brother, could only apologize to Zeng Zhilin with embarrassment, and even said that it was because her father and brother were not strict in discipline that she spoiled her.

In this regard, Zeng Zhilin was very generous, and even said that it was okay, saying that it was just a girl's soft skin, and after being said a few words by her eldest brother, she couldn't hold it on her face, and she was just playing petty, it was no big deal.
