Under the introduction of the talkative innkeeper, Zu Zhenlin and the three of them knew their respective routes, Zhenlin and Lin Xi took different paths, and it was inconvenient for Zhenlin to take him with them what they had to do. So the three of them were separated.

At dawn, Zu Zhenlin and the others got up and hurried, and Lin Xi also wanted to arrive at the academy earlier, so he got up with Zhenlin and the others on the road.

"Two sons, I don't thank you for your kindness, and I can't come up with anything to express my gratitude, I hope we will meet again. Lin Xi said.

"Lin Gongzi take care, goodbye. Li Cao returned the salute.

After the separation, Zu Zhenlin and the others went straight to Fucheng, the state city where King Yan was located. I got up early and worked hard to get up quickly, and finally arrived three days later.

The city wall of Fucheng is towering and majestic, covering an extremely wide area. The city gate is full of traffic, and the river is endless.

Zu Zhenlin and the others led their horses into the city, and decided to find an inn to settle down first, and then make plans, but thinking that they wanted to be next to the palace, they didn't stay casually. Take a stroll around the city first.

The street was still full of tourists, and suddenly the sound of horses' hooves rang out, "Get out of the way, don't get in the way, look for death, don't get out of the way." ”

A group of people galloped on horseback, rampaged, did not care about pedestrians at all, and had an arrogant attitude. The first one was richly dressed and had a handsome face, and he was supposed to be a wealthy son, followed by six servants.

When pedestrians saw this, they avoided it one after another, lest they suffer. Soon an empty road was made on the avenue. But the cry suddenly rose, and a little boy fell to the ground, too late to dodge.

The man on the horse was unmoved, nor did he slow down.

Zu Zhenlin's heart changed, he stood aside, he didn't want to do much, and he didn't plan to make a move. But Li Cao couldn't bear it in his heart, and used the body martial arts in the exercises and books passed on by Zhenlin to fly away, but he didn't have time to pick up the child and dodge it, so he could only hold him in his arms and protect him.

Seeing this, Zu Zhenlin immediately mobilized the aura in his body, surging and flowing, and was about to make a move. However, when the horse of the wealthy son was still one step away from Li Cao, he grabbed the reins of the horse, the horse neighed, the hooves were raised, and they deviated from Li Cao's head and stopped. The wealthy son's face was smug, and he was very satisfied with his riding skills.

"The young master is really powerful. "Some people tout.

"You don't have fucking long eyes, dare to stand in the way of our young master, why don't you get out of the way, you want to die." ”

The subordinates on the horse kept cursing.

Li Cao pulled the child up, and his heart was full of anger, "Riding a horse on the street, are you still reasonable? What if you are injured and trampled on someone?"

"Okay, we'll tell you what to do. ”

The servant said, "Get off the horse, and you will start beating people."

Although Li Cao cultivates the wood attribute exercises, he can't use the aura to fight against people, but when he cultivates the exercises, the aura can feed back the body, strengthen the body, and deal with ordinary people, but Li Cao has just practiced, and the physical body has no time to benefit at all, and he has never fought against people, so he is inexperienced. Zhenlin was worried that he would be injured, so he stepped forward to help.

The crowd was filled with righteous indignation and anger, but no one stepped forward to help.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way. "A group of light horsemen came slowly, and in front of them was a girl, dressed in armor, with a slender body, and a heroic man, but her face was a little dark.

When the crowd saw the person sitting right away, their eyes lit up, and they all shouted, "Miss, you came just in time, you have to be the master." ”

"Those people are so hateful, the eldest lady wants to teach them a lesson. ”

"Miss, don't let them go. ”

The woman approached and asked, "What's the matter?"

The crowd of onlookers chattered and explained the ins and outs of the matter.

The boy was still sitting firmly on the horse, looking at the girl, reversing right and wrong, "It's nothing, it's just that this son has something urgent and needs to hurry, and this person dares to block the way, you just arrest him and punish him." ”

The female general smiled: "Oh, I don't know if this son is in a hurry, he needs to ride a horse in this bustling street?"

"What is your identity? What qualifications do you have to ask me, hurry up and give way, I have delayed the big matter of this son, and I can't spare you. ”

The son of a wealthy family speaks arrogantly and has no fear in the face of the army, and it seems that his identity is very unusual.

"Since you don't tell you who you are, and you don't tell you anything, then don't blame me. Come, take him up, whip him ten times, and put him in prison, and make him remember to obey the rules in the city. The female general commanded.

"You dare!" Childe shouted angrily.

A soldier next to the girl heard the general's order and was about to step forward to arrest someone.

A middle-aged swordsman in his forties beside the boy urged him to step forward, stopped in front of him, and drew his sword in his hand.

The wealthy son laughed, "I think any of you can catch me, just because you also want to cure the sins of this son." ”

Seeing that the fight was about to start, the crowd of onlookers ran far away, but they still watched. Zu Zhenlin walked to Li Cao's side.

The man next to the female general raised his crossbow arrow and shot an arrow directly at the swordsman.

The middle-aged swordsman shook out a sword flower and easily swept the crossbow arrows down. The soldier flew up from the horse, his whole body glowed with a cyan glow, and he pulled out his saber and slashed Huashan with great force, and the momentum sank without mercy.

The middle-aged swordsman raised his sword above his head, and the horizontal swords stopped each other, and the yellow light on the sword appeared. 'Dang', the swords intersected, and the sound exploded. The swordsman sat down and the horse fell to the ground with a bang. The swordsman reacted quickly, floated up, and landed steadily. The soldier did not allow him to have a chance to kick, and continued to attack, the green light on the knife was uncertain, and then he slashed, and the shadow of the knife flew.

The swordsman's face became solemn, the aura in his body flowed violently, and the long sword kept drawing circles in front of him, and the brilliance flowed, forming a round shield to protect himself.

The shadow of the sword slashed on the round shield, and there was the sound of gold and stone, but it couldn't break the defensive round shield.

The soldier slashed again, but it was not a chaotic knife shadow, but a sword that slashed out, and the stone road he crossed was shattered. The round shield broke instantly, and the swordsman's whole body suddenly appeared fluorescent, like armor, blocking the sword. I don't want to sit still, so I have to fight back with my sword. The soldier raised his left hand, and five green rays shot out from his fingers, like ropes, covering the swordsman, shrinking in an instant, binding him. The swordsman frantically runs the aura, but is unable to break the aura rope.

The soldier put the sword on his neck, and the swordsman resigned himself to his fate, not daring to resist again. The soldier still did not give up, raised a kick and kicked him directly in the chest, and without the strength to resist, he was immediately injured internally, and blood spurted out.

"Grab them all and smoke them. The soldier said.

Seeing that his reliance was gone, the prince of the wealthy family was a little panicked in his eyes, but he was quite calm, and in the face of the soldiers who pounced on him like hungry wolves, he shouted: "Bold, I am a messenger sent by the emperor, you dare to arrest me?"

The soldiers hesitated, not daring to start.

The female general smiled: "You are Qincha, I remember that the emperor sent him this time seems to be a squire of the military department, he should not be as young as you, right?"

"I was sent by Qin to fight the front station to inform the assassin Shi and the prince. The wealthy son said.

"Then it's not Chin Cha, whip him twenty lashes. The female general commanded.

The soldier no longer hesitated, and directly took him and his men down and tied them up.

The son of a wealthy family saw that the female general did not seem to be a fake, and moved out of his big backer, "I am the current prime minister, the grandson of Zhu Guogong, if you beat me, my grandfather will definitely not spare you." ”

"If I fight hard, I will look down on those who rely on their family background to do evil. The female general said in disgust.

The wealthy son is still hard-mouthed, but he is a little nervous, "You wait for me, I will definitely not let you go, and the humiliation suffered by this son today will definitely be repaid a hundred times." ”

The soldier was annoyed that he was disrespectful to his superiors, and he didn't have any strength left to attack, and the whip was thrown on his body. The wealthy son immediately couldn't scold, and began to howl, hurting his heart. He had never suffered such a sin, and he fainted with two lashes.

The female general dismounted, walked up to the child, and pinched his fleshy little face, "Little guy, are you okay?"

The little boy still had tears on his face, but shook his head with a smile, "It's okay." ”

"Ah, son, are you okay, why did you come here, thank you Miss, thank you two sons for saving your life. A woman rushed over and thanked her.

"Okay, next time I put my son in jail, it's not so lucky every time, someone saves me, don't let yourself regret it too late. Alright, let's go home. The female general said.

"Thank you, Miss, thank you. ”

The woman picked up her son and turned away.

"Are you brave enough to stop your horse alone, not afraid of being trampled on?" asked the female general.

Under the woman's gaze, Li Cao actually blushed slightly, "I didn't have time to think about it at that time, I just thought about saving people." ”

The female general looked approvingly, "Yes, I have some silver here, and I will be rewarded, although it is not much, but it is a piece of my heart." ”

Li Cao couldn't say no, but she didn't pick it up.

"Take it, I haven't given it out yet, and then I have the habit of taking it back. ”

Li Cao could only accept the woman's purse.

The female general got back on her horse and said, "Take them with you and go home." ”

Zu Zhenlin hurriedly said: "General, our two brothers are here to join the army, but now they have not recruited troops, and there is no way to defect, and we hope that the general will be successful." ”

"Oh, you're going to join the army?" the female general looked at Zhenlin and Li Cao.

Li Cao reacted and also pleaded: "Please general." ”

"In this way, when you come to Yanwang's Mansion tomorrow, just say that you are looking for their eldest lady, and someone will bring you to see me. The female general said.

"Thank you, General. Li Cao said excitedly.

"Don't rush to thank you, I just don't have time now, and I still have to investigate when the time comes, and I won't necessarily accept you. The female general said.

Zu Zhenlin thanked: "Then I have to thank you, if it weren't for the general, we wouldn't even have a chance." ”

"Thank him and go. The female general pointed at Li Cao and said, and then left directly.

By chance, I actually met someone in the palace.

Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao walked around again, and finally chose an inn next to the palace, which was brilliant and luxurious, and the accommodation was expensive. Li Cao felt pain for a while, but he still insisted that he pay the bill, and he always felt that he was burdensome.

"Are we really going to join the army?" Li Cao asked.

"Well, I originally planned to explore the palace, but in fact, I don't know the bottom in my heart, there must be people in the palace who are more powerful than me, and most of them will have accidents, it just so happens that you have left a good impression on them, and that woman is from the palace, we can smoothly blend in, and then visit carefully. ”
