As soon as the two carriages with dozens of horses appeared, someone rang the gong on the wooden watchtower in the border city, and the sound was extremely hurried. .............

When they came to a distance of three hundred meters from the city gate, a group of cavalry rushed out of the city gate, led by a square-faced middle-aged man, wearing a set of black armor, the style was very similar to the previous dynasty of the Central Plains, and the crotch - a divine horse with an incomparable jujube red horse, holding a scimitar that the barbarians liked to use.

He was followed by thirty horsemen in the same armor, also armed with scimitars.

"What's the situation?" asked the little marquis.

Medina, who was sitting in the car, said: "It is a routine inspection, as long as it is a person who enters the border city, whether it is a caravan or an ordinary person, it must be inspected and confirmed that it is not a bandit before being released." ”

"Do border cities also need to guard against bandits?" He didn't understand a little, in his impression, since the border city is a three-way zone, it should be possible for anyone to enter and exit freely.

The beautiful princess smiled and said: "The reason why the border city can exist is because of the merchants and caravans from all directions, all kinds of goods are the most coveted things by the bandits, in order to protect their own safety and property safety, the big lords in the city will take turns to be responsible for security work, check passers-by, and prevent bandits from mixing into the city." ”

"I see. The little marquis nodded, the princess was still patient, and the explanation was so detailed, if it was Liu Fei'er or Chu Yue, it would probably have been pointed at his nose and said that classic - no learning and no skills.

Since it's a routine check, let's do it.

The knight at the head shouted: "What kind of person, what are you doing in the border city? The horses behind are not ordinary horses, but war horses, tell me what are you doing?"

Nonsense, those horses all have chewing heads and saddles, and some of them have scimitars and crossbows hanging from their saddles, and a fool can tell that they are war horses.

The black-armored knights hula surrounded them, and Xiao Chen was about to speak, when Martina poked her head out of the car first: "Uncle Krimu, is that you? I'm Martina, your niece Nana!"

"Nana?" The middle-aged knight was stunned for a moment, then changed to a smiling face, and said happily: "Sure enough, it's my beautiful niece Nana, why did you come here?"

According to the habit, Medina and her mother would come to stay at her grandfather's house outside the border city for a few days every year, and before leaving, they would have people come to deliver letters, leaving time for her grandfather to prepare, and rarely came to visit suddenly.

Tears began to roll in her eyes, and Medina said in a crying tone: "Uncle, my father died of a sudden illness four days ago, and my uncle Gu Lilen took advantage of the chaos to seize power and killed my mother, and my niece escaped from the cage with the help of some old ministers to join you and my grandfather. ”

"What, my sister and brother-in-law are dead?" Kerrim said angrily: "The hateful Gulleng actually killed his sister-in-law, and I, Kerrymu, are incompatible with him!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the knights put away their scimitars in unison, since they were their own family, of course they couldn't face each other.

Kerim's eyes fell on Xiao Chen, he was very sure that he had not seen this young man in his brother-in-law's clan, and he was wearing a Great Chu service, how could a Great Chu person be with his niece?

He couldn't help but ask, "Who is this man?"

Martina once again rushed ahead of Xiao Chen and said, "This is the god sent by the Immortal Heavenly Lord to save me, and I and my entourage were chased by Tu Xiange more than ten miles away. Everyone but me was killed by Tushenge, and he was going to kill me, but fortunately, the Celestial God arrived in time and killed Tushenge and saved my life. ”

Xiao Hou Ye smiled bitterly, thinking that her efforts along the way were in vain, for fear that she would tell others that I was a god, so she reported her real name, and allowed her to call herself Brother Chen, but she didn't expect that in front of others, she still became a god.

Obviously, an experienced man would not believe in such legends as the gods, and the Crimean people were already mentally mature by the time they reached middle age.

He squinted at Xiao Chen and squeezed out a sinister smile: "Yes, it turned out that he saved you." I'll just say, my niece is as beautiful as a flower, and she will definitely be protected by the gods. ”

"You're polite, I'm not a god, just an ordinary Great Chu person. My name is Chen Xiao, Erdong Chen, Xiao of the captain of the Xiao Riding School. He gave his pseudonym.

Martina involuntarily turned her head to look at him, but she didn't ask out loud why Xiao Chen had become Chen Xiao.

Kerim hugged his fists in the way of the Great Chu people's salute, and said: "Thank you Chen Gongzi for saving my niece, my name is Kerim, and I am the son of her uncle, Su Kemu, the great lord of the border city." You've worked hard all the way, come with me into the city. ”

While politely inviting the two of them into the city, he ordered his subordinates to hurry up and inform his father Su Kemu when he entered the city.

Xiao Chen's first impression of him was very bad, he felt that this person was not smiling, on the surface he was a barbarian with a straightforward personality, but in fact he must be a sinister and cunning person.

The cavalry surrounded the carriage in the middle, and Krimu pretended to be casual and asked, "By the way, Nana, what's the matter with so many horses behind?"

Medina said with pride on her face: "It's all left behind by those people killed by Brother Chen, there are Tushenge's cavalry, and two small groups of bandits, he is very powerful!"

Xiao Hou Ye couldn't help wiping a handful of sweat, fortunately, her name was Brother Chen, which sounded no different from Brother Chen, if she called Brother Xiao, it would be exposed.

Kerim gave him a thumbs up and said, "Chen Gongzi, I admire you for being able to defeat Tushenge!"

Tushenge was a master of Medina's clan, and Krimu had fought with him when he was young, and over the years he had lost less and won more.

Looking at his hidden sinister face, the little marquis pretended to be modest: "It's just a fluke." ”

As soon as the procession entered the city gate, an old voice came: "My poor granddaughter Nana, let Grandpa see if you are hurt." ”

It was an old man with gray hair, dressed in a white brute garment with green stripes, and a small hat trimmed with gold trim, and his face was full of love.

"Grandpa!" Medina, with the help of Xiao Chen, got out of the carriage and threw herself into her grandfather's arms, crying and saying, "Dad is sick and dead, and Mom was also killed by my uncle, woo woo......"

While caressing his granddaughter's hair, Su Kemu gritted his teeth with tears and said: "Nana, don't cry, grandpa will personally lead the troops to kill that hateful Gulilen, avenge your mother, and recapture the clan for you! As long as you are okay, grandpa will be relieved." ”

The grandfather and grandson cried bitterly, Medina introduced Xiao Chen to her grandfather, and when she said the name "Chen Xiao", a trace of cleanliness flashed in her eyes.

is really a smart girl in ice and snow, the little marquis secretly gave her a thumbs up.

Su Kemu let go of his beloved granddaughter, put his right hand on his heart and bowed to him: "Thank you Chen Gongzi for saving Nana, you are her life-saving benefactor, and you are also my Su Kemu's benefactor, I will treat you with the highest courtesy, please don't refuse." ”

"Your Excellency Lord is polite, in the eyes of our Great Chu people, when the road is uneven, we should draw our swords to help, it's nothing. "He's really humble this time, and he has to have different attitudes towards different people.

Sukemu's gratitude is heartfelt, while Krimu is superficial.

Su Kemu ordered a feast to entertain Xiao Chen, and at the same time sent out invitations to several other lords in the city to come and discuss the matter of avenging his granddaughter.
