Su Xi couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Where are you from, why are you robbing others?" ”

Before the men lying on the ground could speak, there was a cry behind them: "Miss spare your life—"

Su Xi wore a riding uniform in order to facilitate the journey, and her hair was also tied high in a ponytail, and she did not comb the woman's outfit, so it was understandable to be regarded as a young lady who had not left the cabinet.

I saw more than 20 women hurriedly running to kneel on the ground, crying and begging Su Xi and the two:

"Childe and Miss spare your lives, we are all from Qiushan Village in Gui County, and we heard that the rebels were going to fight and fled here with our families."

"We've been walking for more than three months, and no town is willing to take us in, and we've eaten all the food we brought, so the men in the village really can't think of coming to be mountain bandits."

"Please ask the son and the young lady to spare us, all your things will be returned to you, and please let the two nobles spare our man."

Su Xi couldn't bear to see them like this, especially when he saw a pregnant woman with a big belly behind him holding an old woman with silver hair, he was even more uncomfortable, and discussed with Lu Youzhen to simply give them all the horses and things.

Lu Youzhen didn't agree very much, although he sympathized with them in his heart, he didn't want to wronged Su Xi, besides, they couldn't help for a while, these people still had to have a place to return to be the safest, otherwise next time they tasted the sweetness and came out to rob, wouldn't this become a dead circle again, how could the world be peaceful in the long run?

At this time, Lu Nian and Jiang Tian came back, they didn't find the village, so they could only pick some wild fruits, hunt two pheasants and hares, and look at the situation and ask what was going on.

Lu Youzhen briefly explained and asked Jiang Tian: "They are from Qiushan Village, Guixian County, so Qiushan Village should be in your hands now, what is the situation now?" ”

Jiang Tian's face was a little uncomfortable, and when he heard Lu Youzhen's question, he hurriedly replied: "Childe doesn't discipline things very much, it's the master...... Elder Han is in charge, he has always been tightly restrained by everyone in the sect, except for asking for some supplies, he usually does not allow people to be disturbed at will. ”

"So, it's safe for them to go back to Akiyama Village?"

Jiang Tian pondered for a moment and said: "Natural safety, Qiushan Village is some distance from Anping City, and it will not be affected by the war, I wrote to Gongzi to ask for a handwritten message, and no one will stop them if they want to return to their hometown." ”

Lu You really felt very good, those homeless people were very excited when they heard that they could go home, all they wanted was to live in peace, if it wasn't for their lives, who would want to leave their hometown?

Jiang Tian immediately sent a letter to Jiang Wumeng to Feng Feige, explaining the situation here, and also explaining that Lu Youzhen asked him to meet.

After repairing the place, Jiang Tian asked his companion Jiang Fang to lead the villagers of Qiushan Village back to their hometown, and he himself still followed Lu Youzhen to Anping City.

Su Xi finally gave her horse to the villagers to pull the cart, and she rode it with Lu Youzhen, and only bought a new horse in the next town.

After two more days' journey, I arrived at the nearest town to Anping City, this city is called Bailan Town, which is now a desolate town, except for a few people who really have no strength to leave, most of them have long fled their homeland.

Lu Youzhen refused to let Su Xi go forward, he found a courtyard where no one was there to place Su Xi there, and transferred more than a dozen good hands to protect him inside and out, and left Lu Feng in the small courtyard to run errands for Su Xi, and then followed Jiang Tian to Anping City.

The two were afraid of being treated as spies and did not dare to enter the city rashly, so they could only observe the situation while trying to find a way to contact the spies in Anping City.

However, Lu Youzhen's signal was sent only an hour later, and the shopkeeper of Li Ji Buzhuang, whom he arranged in Anping City, came to see him. The shopkeeper was in high spirits, and it really didn't look like he had experienced a big war.

"How's the war going now?" Lu Youzhen couldn't wait to ask.

The shopkeeper glanced at Jiang Tiancai and said: "Gongzi may not know yet, the rebels have been ambushed, and they will be escorted to the capital in the near future, now Anping City is very safe, and our people and industries have not suffered much loss, and the specific losses are still in the statistics, and the results should be available in the evening." ”

"What did you say?" Lu Youzhen was a little stunned for a while, and thought that he had heard something wrong, but when he saw that Jiang Tian was also in disbelief, he sighed in his heart, and asked sharply again: "Who lost?" Let's take it personally. ”

The shopkeeper didn't know why, and he thought that he had said something wrong, but cold sweat fell on his forehead, and he didn't dare to delay and hurriedly told him what had happened recently.

It turned out that the people in the city had been evacuated to the nearby mountains for refuge half a month ago, and the only ones left in the city were Her Royal Highness Princess Xiaguang and her guards from the Moon Country, as well as some stragglers who had survived the battlefield in front.

It was such a group of less than 10,000 people who stubbornly carried the 80,000 rebels outside the city, not only beating them to the ground, but also capturing many high-level figures such as the elders of the Moon Sect and the protector of the law, especially Han Jiang, the great elder of the other party and the commander of the three armies, who was picked off the horse by the eldest princess with a spear.

These things, the shopkeeper is also hearsay, the princess ordered the whole city to evacuate, and he can't disobey, so he doesn't know how this war is fought, he only knows that there are two gods in the city who are talked about.

One is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, although she is a woman, but she is extraordinary, on the war horse she is wearing silver armor and holding a spear heroically, taking the lead in breaking into the enemy camp, like the god of war descending into the world.

Another person who is like an immortal, standing proudly at the head of the city, looking at the overall situation and strategizing to trap the rebels in the city, that is Su Wenhai, the current Tanhualang.

The shopkeeper seemed to be quite fanatical when he said it, and he almost worshipped these two people as gods, but the truth was not as magical as he said, the eldest princess could win just because of the word "conspiracy".

Since the Banyue Sect began to use the power of the Dragon Tu cavalry, the Korean and Chinese armies have been defeated one after another, and when Su Wenhai first arrived at the barracks, what he saw was a gloomy cloud, and the generals in the army frowned one by one, and no one was optimistic about this battle.

Thanks to the presence of Qin Yong, the husband of the fifth sister Su Yun in the army, Su Wenhai, a civilian official who was not very popular when he first arrived, could also detect a lot of military planes in front of the battle.

The third son, who had experienced two wars, gradually faded into immaturity, grew up rapidly in blood and fire, and also gave Qin Yong some suggestions so that he won several battles not too big or small, Qin Yong admired the talent of this eldest brother, and the soldiers in the army began to accept him.

With Su Wenhai's army, even if it encounters the Longtu cavalry, it can't win but can still run, so although it still loses frequently, the losses are much better than before, Qin Yong admires him and often respectfully calls him the third son, and the officers and soldiers in the army slowly follow suit, and the name of "third son" spreads among the Northwest Army.

The "conspiracy" of the third prince began at this time.

The strength of the dragon cavalry is well known, and the hard steel on the front can only hit the stone with an egg, and it is the best policy to divide and dissolve. The cost of cultivating this excellent cavalry is an invisible bottomless pit, no matter how much Han Jiang can make money, how many people support him, he has only accumulated more than ten years of wealth, and in any case cannot be compared with a country with a hundred years of heritage, if he insists on giving the cavalry the same treatment, then the other armies in his hands are bound to get less, are others willing?

Besides, although the Longtu cavalry was founded by the emperor and was a self-contained army, after so much time, the old and new generals have changed several times, and most of the young generals have been promoted by the current saints, and it is not yet known how loyal they can be to the emperor.

The dragon tu cavalry is a sharp sword in Han Jiang's hand, but the tip of this sword is facing to see who it operates.

In addition to secretly sending people to lurk and intensify the internal contradictions of the rebels, the third prince also reduced his own army to zero. Since it's a battle that is destined to be lost, let's just run away. He scattered his army into small teams and fled from the battlefield feigning defeat and fleeing, and secretly advanced in the direction of the capital, ready to be called at any time.

The boldness of the idea made all the officers and men in the army tremble, except for trust, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no way to let him play like this!

On the other hand, the third prince rushed to Anping City to lobby Princess Xiaguang and asked her to assist in the plan to evacuate the people of Anping City, and use the entire Anping City to compile a large net to firmly stick to the rebels.

Obviously, the third prince succeeded, and now he has become the third prince in the hearts of the entire Northwest Army and the people of Anping City.

The war ended a few days earlier, and the people of Anping City had all withdrawn yesterday, and only a small number of people in the Northwest Army were left to help restore order and escort the thieves into Beijing, and the rest took advantage of the victory to pursue and regain lost territory, and Anping City gradually returned to its old life.

Lu Youzhen didn't want to listen to the shopkeeper's praise of the eldest princess and Su Wenhai when he learned that he could enter the city, so he rode a horse and rushed to the city, and the inspection of outsiders at the city gate was still very strict, but as soon as Lu Youzhen reported Su Wenhai's name, it became unimpeded, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city also specially sent someone to lead him to the post house to see Su Wenhai.

Now that the Banyue Sect has no leader, the Longtu cavalry has also split into two factions, one faction is determined to "set things right" and basically died in the hands of the Anping Guards, and the other faction "takes the initiative" to sue for peace, and is preparing to be escorted back to Beijing for trial, and the others are even more scattered, and it is only a matter of time before the city is recovered, so Su Wenhai did not follow the Northwest Army, but took the errand to escort the rebellious party and prepared to return to Beijing.

Lu Youzhen was in no mood to say hello when he saw Su Wenhai, and after retreating left and right, he asked directly about Jiang Wumeng: "Among the captives captured by the third brother, there is Jiang Wumeng - it is Situ Youxi." ”

"Jiang Wumeng? Situ Youxi? Su Wenhai was stunned and said, "Are you saying that Jiang Wumeng is Situ Youxi?" ”

"It's just my guess, it seems that the third brother didn't see him." Lu Youzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Wenhai nodded: "We really didn't catch Situ Youxi, he was hidden by Han Jiang, and no one knows his true face so far, I heard that Han Jiang plans to let him go to the capital to show up again, so it is quite difficult to find it." ”

"That's good! That's good! ”

"Don't lose your words, Situ Youxi is a thief, how can he applaud if he is not caught?" Su Wenhai reminded him, "It's just that he has an identity," Su Wenhai paused and continued: "You'd better not mention it again, there are few people who have seen Situ Youxi, but there are many who have seen Jiang Wumeng." ”

"Yes, the third brother reminded me." Lu Youzhen also realized that he cared about chaos, and almost caused Jiang Wumeng a big trouble, and was glad that it was Su Wenhai in front of him now.

But he hadn't seen Jiang Wumeng for a day, and his heart was always unsteady, so he asked Su Wenhai to go to Bailan Town to pick up Su Xi, and he continued to find Jiang Wumeng.
