Rong Che killed the mountain bandit leader in the blink of an eye, which shocked the group of mountain bandits.

The mountain bandits who were originally thinking of besieging were suddenly killed by Rong Che, and the guards of the Xuan Wangfu were not vegetarians, and many of the guards were not a problem at all with one enemy and ten, and they were quick and ruthless, and they didn't need to show mercy to their subordinates at all.

Since these mountain bandits came prepared, it means that they are here to intercept them, so naturally there is no need to be polite.

Otherwise, it is yourself who is hurt.

Ziyu and Ji Yanning were in the carriage, listening to the movement outside, and they had no intention of wanting to understand the situation outside.

After all, there are a large number of those mountain bandits, and it must be extremely chaotic at this time, if they poke their heads out at this time, they are afraid that it will increase the burden on the guards, not to mention that Yuan Wu and Jinhe have been guarding the carriage, and those mountain bandits can't get close.

Seeing these people fighting fiercely, many mountain bandits were timid, but when they thought of having a lot of money, they didn't care how many people they wanted to kill.

However, the guards who came out of the Xuan Wangfu were all experienced in the battlefield, how could it be so easy to suffer, but there were fewer and fewer mountain bandits.

"Whoa—"

A sharp arrow shot from the hillside not far away, piercing directly into the thigh of the dark horse of the carriage where Ji Yanning was staying.

The black horse was in pain, raised its front hooves high, neighed loudly, and then ran on a rampage like madness.

Yuan Wu knew at a glance that the horse's arrow was poisonous, which made the horse frightened and red-eyed, and it was difficult to control it.

He and Jinhe saw that the carriage was about to run forward, and hurriedly chased after them.

Ziyu and Ji Yanning, who were sitting in the carriage, were startled by the sudden movement, and then knew that the horse was frightened, Ji Yanning held Ziyu's hand and calmed her down.

The carriage kept rushing forward, knocking down quite a few people, but no one could stop the frightened horses.

Yuan Wu quickly caught up, jumped up on the shoulders of the crowd, and landed directly on the carriage.

It is somewhat impossible to stop the carriage now, because it is difficult to control a frightened horse, and if you give it any more stimulation, you are afraid that it will overturn the carriage.

He lifted the curtain of the carriage and stepped forward and said, "Princess, let's jump out of the carriage." ”

Ji Yanning nodded, pushed Ziyu forward, and said, "You take Ziyu down first." ”

Yuan Wu has always been a very obedient person, and he didn't think too much about Ji Yanning's words, grabbed Ziyu, then took her out, jumped down, left the carriage, placed the person on the ground, and continued to run forward with the carriage, intending to take Ji Yanning down.

But before he could step forward, he saw a figure flashing, Rong Che landed on the carriage, directly hugged Ji Yanning's waist, and then took it down from the carriage.

Yuan Wu breathed a sigh of relief, but a woman's scream suddenly sounded behind him.

He suddenly looked back and saw that a mountain bandit had already put a knife on Ziyu's neck.

Yuan Wu was about to step forward, but the mountain bandit shouted in fright: "If you come again, I will kill her!"

The mountain bandits are also very afraid of these people, their village owners are dead, and the people in this team are strong in martial arts, even if the number is small, but the combat power is not weak.

Yuan Wu stopped, his eyes darkened, and said, "Let her go, spare your life." ”

"That's nice, who knows if what you're saying is true. The mountain bandits didn't believe Yuan Wu's words at all, and hijacked Ziyu and slowly moved back.

Ziyu was a little scared at first, but now she tried to calm down.

She opened her mouth and said, "I'm just a maid, and it's useless for you to kidnap me." ”

"Shut up!" said the bandit, a little furious, "I know if it's useful or not." ”

He only knew that after he kidnapped this little maid, the people around him did not dare to rush forward, how could such a person be an ordinary little maid.

Ziyu said: "Really, if you don't run, you won't be able to run, your village owners are already dead, and the rest of the people staying are also dead, so why bother?"

The mountain bandit was upset by her, and his arm suddenly moved slightly, loosening his neck from Ziyu.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed behind him, stabbing the long sword directly into his throat.

Blood spurted and splashed onto Ziyu's face, and her face suddenly turned pale, in stark contrast to the bright red blood.

Before she could react, she had been taken out of the mountain bandit's confinement and fell into an embrace.

She looked up in a daze and saw the eagle's face.

"Don't be afraid. The Eagle spoke.

It's just two short words, just as cold as usual, but now Ziyu sounds like it, but it makes her extremely relieved.

Those mountain bandits were retreating one after another, and seeing that they were getting worse and worse, no one wanted to give their lives here, so many people sneaked away and soon became scattered and fled.

There was a strong smell of blood in the entire mountain road, and looking at the corpses lying on the ground, the faces of the caravans that followed behind were all pale with fright, and it seemed that this was a big impact on them.

The steward of the caravan stepped forward and said, "This is not a trivial matter, let's report it to the local yamen as soon as possible." ”

Being blocked by so many mountain bandits and almost losing his life is not a trivial matter.

Rong Che glanced at the steward of the caravan and said, "Well, someone has been sent to inform you." ”

Ji Yanning's eyes moved slightly, and she didn't speak, because she had lost a carriage, and before arriving at the next post house, she chose to ride a horse more appropriately.

However, this matter is the boundary of Yingzhou, and the prefect of Yingzhou ...... Ji Yanning has checked it and is Jingyuan's protégé.

She felt that it was not simple.

Jing Yuan is already dead, why are his people still looking for trouble in secret?

She felt that this matter was not simple, and naturally she would not relax, so they not only went to notify the prefect of Yingzhou, but also sent this matter back to Chang'an directly.

This was originally the dereliction of duty of the Yingzhou prefect, and if something like this happened, he, the prefect of Yingzhou, would not be able to sit for long.

Because of the fight, when they arrived at the station, everyone was already a little tired.

The prefect of Yingzhou came very quickly, and he had been waiting in the post house for a long time.

Seeing Rong Che and his party, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Xiaguan see His Royal Highness King Xuan." ”

Rong Che glanced at the prefect of Yingzhou, who was about thirty years old, dressed in a neat official uniform, looking neither humble nor arrogant, but not a little weak-hearted.

Probably because this ceremony has been performed for too long, the prefect of Yingzhou can't support it, and said, "Your Highness......"

"There are such large-scale mountain bandits in the Yingzhou mirror, it seems that the Bai Governor's Mansion only cares about spending time and drinking on weekdays. Rong Che sneered, "I don't even care about the safety of the people." ”

The prefect of Yingzhou explained: "It's not that the lower officials are useless to deal with, it's really that those gangsters are too rampant. ”

"Then why don't you report it to the imperial court?" Rong Che said again, "Although there are many mountain bandits, the government should not eat dry rice, right?"

The prefect of Yingzhou was still thinking about saying something more, but Rong Che didn't give him a chance to explain again, and walked directly into the post house.

Looking at Rong Che's back, the eyes of the prefect of Yingzhou became deep, and he could only grit his teeth and continue to follow.

The people in the palace had already arranged the room, and the others were packing up and planning to move in, and the prefect of Yingzhou continued to come to Rong Che and said: "Your Highness, this matter is indeed the negligence of the lower official, and please trust the lower official again......

"This king has already truthfully spread the news to Chang'an. Rong Che said, he looked at the prefect of Yingzhou and sneered, "So, if something happens to this king in the Yingzhou boundary again, the prefect Bai will have to settle his family well." ”

When the prefect of Yingzhou heard Rong Che's words, his body trembled, he lowered his head, and said, "Xiaguan will definitely protect the safety of the prince." ”

Rong Che didn't answer, and walked up to the second floor of the post house.

The prefect of Yingzhou suddenly asked, "Your Highness, why didn't you see the princess with you?"

From the very beginning of coming in, the prefect of Yingzhou only saw Rong Che, but did not see Ji Yanning.

Rong Che heard the prefect of Yingzhou mention Ji Yanning, turned his head, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

The prefect of Yingzhou saw Rong Che's eyes that seemed to swallow people, and subconsciously closed his mouth and lowered his head.

Rong Che walked into the room and saw Ji Yanning, who was wearing a maid's clothes, sitting at the table, already preparing the meal, and said, "Eat first." ”

He stepped forward and sat next to Ji Yanning and said, "You guessed right, nine times out of ten, it was for you." ”

Ji Yanning said: "I suspect that there was a problem with the fire at the beginning, maybe Jing Yuan didn't die at all." ”

Rong Che thought for a while, and then said: "It's just that Qi Ti has examined the corpse, and the possibility that Jing Yuan can escape is too low." ”

Ji Yanning lowered her eyes, she also knew, so she believed it at the beginning, but now there are still people secretly targeting her, but in addition to Jing Yuan knowing his identity, does his protégé still have to chase after him?

Maybe Jing Yuan had other helpers that he didn't know back then?

Ji Yanning thought about it many times in his head, but he still couldn't come up with it, and he planned these with Jing Yuan back then.

How could someone like Jingyuan feel comfortable handing over his secrets to others?

He has never been a person who likes to trust people.

Ji Yanning said: "Don't think so much about it first, eat." ”

The two of them sat opposite each other, and after a day's journey, they encountered mountain bandits on the road, so they were naturally a little tired and needed to replenish their strength as soon as possible.

"Oh no!

"It's on fire!

The two of them were eating when they heard a cacophony outside.

Ji Yanning smelled a thick smell of smoke and suddenly looked up at Rong Che.

Rong Che held her hand and wanted to take him out, but seeing that there seemed to be a mess outside the door, he directly opened the window, and took Ji Yanning to jump directly from the window on the second floor and landed firmly on the ground.
