Lu Youzhen left Lu Nian to protect the pandan herbs and their luggage carriage, and took Su Xi to Anping City on horseback, accompanied by Lu Feng and Jiang Tian.

Before he walked two miles out of the city, Lu Youzhen regretted taking Su Xi a little, his little wife actually turned into a crazy girl on horseback, waving a horse whip and running around, her riding skills were not exquisite, several times she was turned upside down and closed, almost fell down, he chased after him with a heart.

He suddenly realized the pain of the third brother Su Wenhai when he taught Su Xi to ride a horse.

Speaking of which, when he saw Su Xi for the first time, the third brother was so angry that he drove her off the horse and left by himself because of her "crazy posture" on horseback, leaving Su Xi to chase after him.

Thinking of the cute appearance of the little girl humming and scolding her brother at that time, the corners of Lu Youzhen's mouth couldn't help but rise.

However, for the sake of Su Xi's safety, Lu Youzhen finally stopped Su Xi and restrained her to his side seriously.

Riding a horse is a tiring and boring thing, no snacks and no reading book, even a word has to be poured into a mouthful of wind, it is really boring, Su Xi stayed up for two days, and on the third day, he said that he didn't want to leave.

Lu Youzhen looked at her somewhat dry cheeks that were blown by the wind, and felt so distressed, but there were no households in this wilderness, so naturally she couldn't buy a carriage, so she couldn't help but regret why she didn't leave Su Xi in Bin County?

Lu You really couldn't bear to let Su Xi hurry up any longer, so he got off his horse and rested for a while, and ordered Lu Feng and Jiang Tian to go nearby to find some water and food, and then see if they could meet someone passing by with ox carts, donkey carts or something.

Lu Feng and the others took the order, and Lu Youzhen helped Su Xi find a smooth stone to sit down and rub her sore legs for her.

"Are you more comfortable?" Lu Youzhen asked.

"Well," Su Xi nodded, "It's because I'm too uncompetitive, and I can't walk in just two days." ”

"How can I blame you for this? In other words, it would be terrible for Yining to hold on for an hour. ”

"Also, I should blame my third brother, if he didn't always say that I was not good at riding, my father and mother wouldn't stop me from riding, if I can practice from time to time, how can I be like this, stupid third brother!"

Su Wenhai, who was standing at the head of Anping City, suddenly sneezed, he looked up at the clear sky with no clouds and no wind, and touched his nose in some surprise, but he didn't think much about it, turned his head and continued to look down.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.

The rebels under the city have been surrounding Anping for more than ten days, and they have fought nearly ten battles, large and small, but they have not achieved much success, and their morale is not as strong as it was at the beginning.

"Third prince, the city has almost been arranged, and Her Royal Highness the princess asks what to do next." Shopkeeper Chen—or should he call him Li Jinmin—walked up to the city and asked.

"Wait!" Su Wenhai looked at the rebel camp and slowly spit out the word.

"Newspaper—"

The messenger received the message and rushed non-stop: "Third son, the flying pigeon in front of you is passing the book." ”

Su Wenhai took the carrier pigeon and took out the note, the note was the code they had agreed on, Su Wenhai thought about it for a while, then finished interpreting it, and immediately turned to Li Jinmin and said: "Please tell Her Royal Highness the princess, after a while, the rebels will come to call for battle, send two teams of people to deal with the two moves and then withdraw to the city, and then hang up the battle exemption card, no matter how the other party calls the battle, they will never fight, but the deployment on the city wall must be like the beginning, ready for battle." ”

"What does this mean by the third son?" Li Jinmin frowned and asked him, "I haven't won a battle for a long time, and Her Royal Highness the princess is under a lot of pressure, so you still want to avoid the war?" ”

"At this time, avoiding the battle is for the ultimate victory," Su Wenhai smiled mysteriously, "In addition, let people spread some news, just say that Her Royal Highness the princess has brought people back to the capital." ”

"Do you want to ......" Li Jinmin thought of the arrangements in the city and instantly understood, "I'll go and report to the princess." ”

Smoke rises from the rebel camp one after another, and it will probably not be long before they come back to call for battle.

Just when Su Wenhai was standing at the head of the city and silently rehearsing the possibility of the final battle in his heart, Lu Youzhen and Su Xi had a small situation.

"I drove this road, I planted this tree, if you want to cross this road, leave the horses."

Looking at the group of people with different heights, shortness, fat and thinness cutting the path in front of them, Zhenxi and the two were in a very delicate mood.

They were ragged, and they held hoes and forks in their hands that counted as weapons, and some of them had twinkling eyes and hesitant faces, and only a dozen or so of them held their heads high—their heads were so high that they seemed to be more intimidating.

Su Xi guessed where they were refugees, so he tugged on Lu Youzhen's sleeve and asked him to be gentle.

Lu Youzhen patted her hand to signal her peace of mind, and helped Su Xi up before he stepped forward and said, "You want my horse?" ”

"Yes, I'll leave the horse and let you go."

The young man who took the lead said in a rough voice, and the people who followed him echoed: "Yes, leave the horses and dry food and let you go." ”

"Hand over the money!"

"That's right! The silver was also left. ”

The robbers had not yet discussed what they wanted, but they talked a lot, and some even asked them to keep their clothes when they saw that they were brightly dressed.

The robbers talked lively, but they didn't see any reaction from the other side for a long time, so they gradually stopped, and dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Lu Youzhen intently.

Lu Youzhen said disgustedly: "You are too greedy, we have to hurry, the horses can't be kept, let alone clothes, I only have some dry food and silver here to give you." ”

Lu Youzhen took out the dry food prepared in the baggage, and then took out the money bag on his body and handed it to the other party's leader.

The man was overjoyed when he took something, and subconsciously wanted to bend down to thank him, but another slightly older man behind him grabbed him and whispered to him, "What are you doing?" We are robbers, how can any robber say thank you, besides, where is enough for such a little thing, don't talk nonsense with him, grab other things. ”

"Uncle, it's not easy for people, give food and silver, or let them go." The leading man couldn't bear it.

"Then at least let them stay on the horses, our donkeys are almost exhausted, there is no horse-drawn carriage, do you plan to let your seventy-year-old grandmother of the Liu family and the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family who is about to give birth follow us to walk?"

"Yes...... In this wilderness, they have no dry food and no horses, and the little lady is delicate, she doesn't look like a person who can walk, what should we do if we rob them? ”

"You have a point, so let's leave one for them."

After the two discussed, they raised their heads again, and said arrogantly to Lu Youzhen: "For the sake of your knowledge, I will leave you a horse, and I will take this one." ”

Saying that he was about to start leading the horse, Lu Youzhen saw that this endless was quite annoying, so he had to punch the leader twice, but he remembered that these people were not big traitors and did not make a heavy hand.

It's just that the man was hit by two punches and was angry in his heart, and the people who followed him behind him were also angry, and they raised the stick and hoe in their hands and hit Lu Youzhen.

These people don't know how to use their strength, they are really not Lu Youzhen's opponents, they were beaten to the ground in three or two strokes, and the wails came and went.

Only then did Zhenxi and the others realize that there were eleven or twelve-year-old children among the robbers.
