The welcoming team was not lively, and it didn't take long to walk out of Nanxing City. The guards of the three highnesses who surrounded the City Lord's Mansion were even more closely chasing after Lu Baien.

Treat this rude and willful uncle, they can't afford to mess with it. If something happens, they won't be able to keep their heads.

Gu Cheng nodded towards Mo Bei behind him, and several capable men followed Mo Bei out of the city closely.

It was close to noon when the sun flickered at noon when it was close to noon when the sedan chair drivers were sweating profusely and miserable.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! In front of the sedan chair, Lu Baien's big butler greeted loudly, and laughed loudly at the sedan chair man: "When you arrive at the Third Highness's mansion, everyone has a heavy reward!" If you delay the auspicious time, you will not have any good fruit to eat! ”

Lu Baien glanced at the butler, and followed lazily on his horse.

After entering the mountain road, the surrounding guards were tightly guarded on both sides, for fear that the robbers would not be able to see long and collide with His Highness.

The terrain gradually steepened, and the rocky roads flew around under the mountain wind.

A knife and axe man who was exploring the path in front quickly turned back and said to Lu Baien: "Report! Your Highness! There are rocks blocking the intersection in front! Do you want to turn back and walk ten miles or turn off the blade? ”

"What's going on?!" Thinking of the delay in the upcoming visit to the church, His Royal Highness couldn't help but become angry.

"Return, Your Highness! It should have been heavy rain in the coming day, which caused landslides and mudslides blocking the way. The master on the side glanced at the surrounding mountains a few times and whispered.

"Your Highness, it is more appropriate to turn back from Shilipo, but the distance has increased by 36 miles. It's only 17 miles from the blade, but the terrain is a bit complicated...... "Master carefully analyzed the situation.

Lu Baien instantly understood what the master meant, and interrupted the master's words: "Just go on the blade!" Or marry the little beauty. Besides, all these guards under my command eat dry food? actually grabbed his grandfather's head, and these thieves will never come back! ”

"Your Highness, there has indeed been some unrest on the blade recently, and the two forces of White Lotus and Little Green Tea are entrenched here, which is extremely unfavorable to us. It is more appropriate to turn ten miles of slope. "The captain of the guard thought of the two new female bandit forces that had appeared recently, and he really didn't want His Highness to be in danger.

"Less nonsense! Just go here! Lu Baien stubbornly rushed up, and waved his hand around with a cold face: "Someone!" Put on the strong bow and crossbow! Shoot if you get close! ”

Joke! The dignified Third Highness, where can't you go?!

Lu Baien had disdain in his eyes, as a prince, he had dozens of guards around him, if there were those stupid thieves to rob again, there would be no need to exist.

Seeing a trace of ruthlessness on Lu Baien's face, the captain of the guard shouted to the soldiers around him, "Brothers! It's all polished for me! ”

As he passed by the last post at the intersection of Blade, the scout saw two people on the side of the road in front of him, one of whom was kneeling on the side of the road wearing linen and filial piety, and a person was lying on the ground.

Although there is a post station, it looks very strange in this barren mountain range. An ominous premonition rose, and the captain of the guard couldn't help but raise his eyes upwards and rushed forward.

"Who?!" The captain of the guard walked over to the two and yelled at them. "Check!".

"Official, pity me!" The woman dressed in linen and filial piety looked at the captain of the guard, sobbing quietly, and her face was even worse

It's with wisps of tears.

"My father and I went to Nanxing City to do business, but I didn't want to go back, my old father was seriously ill, please send my father home, the little woman is grateful for being a cow and a horse!"

"As the daughter of a merchant, if you have money, why don't you hire a carriage to send you home?! Why wait here? The captain of the guard raised his eyebrows, not interested in what had happened to the father and daughter.

"We have money, but now my father is seriously ill and cannot move, let alone leave half a step, and the adults do not dislike it, and the little woman is willing to rent the adults' horses." The woman looked over with her head down, her words full of anticipation.

As she spoke, the woman took out a bag of gold coins from her pocket and carefully handed it to the cavalry.

"Bold! We are military horses, how can we carry you! It's best to rent a carriage as soon as possible! ”

The movement here disturbed Lu Baien, he looked over to this side, and snorted coldly: "Who is making noise there!" Delay my good thing! ”

"Back to His Highness, it is a merchant girl, saying that her father is seriously ill and wants to rent us a military horse." The captain of the guard heard the voice and turned his horse's head in response.

"Huh, and such a good thing?" Lu Baien said softly, then glanced at the sedan chair, and then snorted coldly: "Don't pay attention to her, let's go!" ”

The merchant girl saw the captain of the guard turn the horse's head and run back, gritted her teeth and stood at the horse's head and knelt down: "Please, uncle!" ”

"Get out!" The captain of the guard seemed to be able to imagine what would happen next for the Third Highness, and shouted angrily at the merchant girl: "My Third Highness is very happy today, and I don't care about you like you!" If it is another day, a lot of hard work is inevitable! Don't get out of the way yet?! ”

"Uncle, the Third Highness is pitiful!" The merchant girl stopped at the horse's head and did not back down at all.

The strikers were at a stalemate.

"Lady, I'll go and see what's going on, and I'll be right away." Lu Baien glanced at the front twice, and then urged him to step forward.

"What a filial girl!" Lu Baien came to the woman, lifted the woman's chin with a horsewhip, and whispered: "It turned out to be a little beauty, but today is not a coincidence." You can borrow a horse if you want, depending on what you can afford. ”

"Your Highness respects herself," the merchant girl shook her face, dodged Lu Baien's fingers, took out two gold coins from her pocket and handed them over: "Dare to ask Your Highness if this money is enough?" ”

The words are very timid, the personality is like a little pepper, the corners of Lu Baien's mouth are slightly upturned, and his heart is itchy, but his eyes swept to the sedan chair and put away frivolity, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Well, that's good!" Lu Baien weighed the gold coins twice, and threw the gold coins into his pocket with a smile. "Bring her a horse!" As he spoke, he glanced at the captain of the guard.

"Chief, we don't have many horses!" The captain of the guard whispered to Lu Baien. The expression kept flickering, this matter was very weird, and it was better not to let the Third Highness interfere.

"Yes! Your Highness! The captain of the guard waved his hand behind him helplessly, and a cavalryman came over with a horse and handed it to the merchant girl.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" The merchant girl Yingying bowed, and then carried the seriously ill man on the back of the horse with the cavalry, and walked forward.

"Your Highness, this gold coin is a bit odd." The cavalry on the side glanced at the gold coin in Lu Baien's hand and replied in a low voice.

"Got a fart!" Lu Baien glanced at the cavalry contemptuously, "This is the currency of Izumo Country!" It's not that you can't spend! There are a lot of those little guys in the capital who want to collect. ”

"Yes, Yes, Your Highness is right!" The cavalryman whispered

, dare not say more.

"You, go follow her and find out where she lives?" Lu Baien smashed his mouth a few times and pointed to the woman in front of him.

"It's Your Highness!" The cavalry did not dare to say anything more, and pursued them from a distance.

"What beautiful patterns and lines! ~ Those little guys in the capital like to collect! Lu Baien said with a smile of surprise on his shoulders.

"Mistaken!" Soon the smile on his face disappeared and was replaced by a miser's expression.

"Ah, Your Highness, we're still down to business." The captain of the guard said with a flattering look.

"Humph! A sucker! How did she get her to run! Lu Baien said loudly in a sharp voice, "She must have more, we must let her vomit it all!" ”

"But, Your Highness, he ran away...", the captain with a little chivalrous spirit, with a slightly surprised and disgusted expression, whispered.

"Then go after it!" The Third Highness roared, "If she dares not to give it, she will be given the status of a fugitive nobleman from the Izumo Empire, understand?!" ”

"Yes! My lord! The captain of the guard bowed his head and saluted to the three highnesses, leading the three cavalry to run forward quickly.

After knowing that his third highness was a collector who loved money and beauty, and even liked all kinds of gold coins, the captain of the guard sighed secretly: what should have happened has happened. Within the city limits, next to the royal majesty, the Third Highness has still restrained, and now in the wilderness, that girl is afraid that there will be more than luck.

On the contrary, he was not surprised that the Izumo currency was in the hands of the merchant girl, after all, Izumo was the first great country, and the gold coins minted were popular in various countries. It would be strange if she didn't have it in her hands.

"Da'er, driver!!"

After a short time, four horses ran up from behind, "Wait a minute! The captain of the guard shouted loudly with a red face. In the blink of an eye, four horses surrounded the merchant girl in the center.

"I don't know, what is the purpose of the official chasing the little girl?" The merchant girl's eyes were full of sadness, and she stood up straight and said loudly.

"Well, that's right. Our Third Highness, I think you give less. The captain of the guard blushed, and the only remaining knightly path made him want to find a crack in the ground to get into.

"You know, my lord, I'm not an official eunuch. It's not easy for me to save this money, it's interesting enough to give so much to Your Highness. The merchant girl turned and left.

"You stop! Didn't you hear our captain ask you?! You're deaf! "The cavalry on the left stretched out their cavalry guns to block the way.

"My lord, what do you want? Do you want me to go bare-bottomed and enter the city ahead? The merchant girl paused and sneered.

"What the fuck, how the hell is so much nonsense! Take off all your clothes obediently! Let's search your body! The cavalry who followed behind reprimanded loudly, blocked the retreat with cavalry guns, and several cavalry sat the merchant girl in the center.

"Undress?! I don't know when the impartial and selfless cavalry became a roadblock robber, a murderer and a cross-merchant! The merchant girl stood in the middle of the cavalry with a surprised expression on her face, and responded with an unchanged face.

"Ahem," the captain of the guard whispered with a gloomy face, his face red and purple, "then we are not bandits who take you by force, and we will not pick your clothes, you give us three more gold coins." Let's go back and make a business, what do you think? He walked up to the merchant girl and whispered.

"If you let the Third Highness wait for a long time, it will be difficult to say." The cavalry on one side nodded in response.

"His Royal Highness is the prince, and he has never seen any treasures, so why bother with merchants such as me. The little woman gave all her savings to Her Highness, where is there any! The merchant girl glanced at the cavalry captain angrily, and patted her coat pocket.
