Chapter 158: Raid

When Li Ran was woken up by the green eggplant, it was dark outside and inside the house.

"It's General Zhou, let the princess hurry up, the sooner the better!"

Although Qing Qi's voice was urgent, his hands and feet were not chaotic, and as he spoke, he had reached out to pick up Li Ran's long hair, grabbed it with his fingers and combed it, and in a few clicks, he rolled out the simplest and strongest bun, and took a hairpin and tied it tightly.

Zi Qi rushed in with his clothes, shook off the indigo cloth shirt and pants that could not be distinguished between men and women, and put them on Li Ran, who had already stood up, very quickly.

In just a few minutes, Li Ran, purple eggplant, and green eggplant rushed out of the house and met Zhou E, who rushed in.

Zhou E first stuffed a horsewhip in Li Ran's hand, and then grabbed her, dragging and dragging her, and Li Ran's dragged feet to the stable.

Wang Cui and the others were all fully equipped, and before and after Li Ran and Zhou E, they rushed into the stable, and then rushed out of the stable.

Wang Cui took out Li Ran and his horse, put a handful on Li Ran's arm, put her on the horse, followed the horse closely, and Shen Mai guarded Li Ran left and right, followed Zhou E, who rushed in front, lined up in a line, and rode out.

The county town was dark and quiet, and the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the bluestone slabs was rapid and loud.

Li Ran's house is very close to the east gate.

In the hole of the east gate, there were already people waiting, and when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, the two heavy gates slowly pushed open the cracks, allowing only one horse to pass through.

Zhou E drew her spear and took the lead in leaping out of the horse.

More than a dozen female generals of the An family also drew their knives and guns, and followed out, Li Ran was sandwiched between the crowd and went out of the city gate.

After rushing for two quarters of an hour, in front of a forest, Zhou Ele stopped his horse and motioned for everyone to hide in the forest.

The old horse and others who followed behind, followed Zhou E's gesture, and scattered their horses around.

"What's wrong?" Li Ran approached Zhou E and asked in a low voice.

"The Shu army raided Cao County and shot rockets into the city, Cao County must not be able to stop it, and at this time, the city must have been broken."

Zhou E furrowed her brows and looked in the direction of Cao County.

Li Ran was stunned, and then said, "Do you want to come to Jin County?" ”

"Let's go to Shu and Shudi, each of them is a hundred and ten miles, and they are usually patrolled by cavalry.

The big camp in Shu is 200 miles away from Cao County, if the infantry sneaks in, even if they hide during the day and drive our side a hundred miles at night, they will not be able to reach Cao County, they can only be cavalry, light cavalry, and horses rushing through this 100 miles.

This cavalry raided Cao County, and there must be no return. It's a death squad.

Those who are sent to death will kill one to make money, and kill two to earn one.

Jin County is the closest to Cao County, and if I change it, I must want to burn one more city.

You can't stay in the city, it's really on fire, and there's nowhere to run. ”

Li Ran's face was slightly pale, and she couldn't say why, but she actually felt that this burning was because of her.

The sky was already white, and in the distance, a man and a horse ran like an arrow from a string, heading straight for the grove.

Zhou E motioned to Wang Cui and the others to protect Li Ran, and he rode out of the woods and greeted him in front of the woods.

A man and a horse rushed to Zhou E, said a few words, turned the horse's head, and rushed away.

"How's it going?" Li Ran asked Zhou E.

"Cao County was on fire, the county ordered to open the city gate, let people flee for their lives, and the Shu cavalry was scattered in the crowd and had not been cleared yet. Dashuai asked me to escort you to a safe place, let's go. ”

Zhou E said as she stood on horseback and looked around.

"How many people did you get to raid Cao County? Didn't you say that the cavalry are all strange soldiers, all of them are treasures, what is there in Cao County, it is worth them to let so many cavalrymen come and send them to death? ”

Li Ran saw Wang Cui and them from Zhou E.

Zhou E looked at Li Ran and didn't speak, and Wang Cui looked at the other dozen or so female generals of the An family.

"To kill me, right?" Li Ran said in a low voice.

"Let's go ours, why and how to deal with it, this is the prince's business."

Zhou E waved her hand, diverted her words, and prepared to leave.

"Is there any way to let everyone know I'm here?" Li Ran didn't move.

"What are you going to do?" Zhou E's eyes widened.

"That's a good idea."

Among the female generals of the An family, Yu Po, who has always spoken very little, looked at Li Ran appreciatively and said with a smile.

"Those are all people with the word death in front of them, no matter how they die, it's better to fight, in case, if you can kill the princess before you die......"

Wang Cui looked at Zhou E, and didn't finish the last sentence, only hey.

Zhou E leaned at Li Ran, looked at it for a while, and waved the horsewhip a few times.

"Okay, then go back to Jin County, just go to the city and raise your flag."

Zhou E beckoned a veteran, and hurried back to Jinxian County to raise Li Ran's flag.

Li Ran and his entourage were on guard all the way, and they didn't go fast. A quarter of an hour later, when I saw Jinxian from a distance, I also saw several bright and brand-new black background gold edges and big red plum flags fluttering high above the city wall.

Li Ran squinted at the few Li Zi flags fluttering in the wind.

Before setting off from the capital, she heard Zhou E say a sentence and a half: she was busy preparing a few flags for her, she thought Zhou E was joking, but she didn't expect that this flag was quite beautiful.

"It's just a Li character, how do you know it's me?"

Li Ran looked at it for a while and couldn't help but ask.

The pioneer of this trip, Li Houye, Li Mingshui, is also Li!

"Black background, gold edges, look at your gold edges, how wide. The Li character is replaced by Lu, which is the banner of the Qianliang Royal. Alas. ”

Zhou E didn't know what to think of, and sighed.

Li Ran squinted and looked at it for a while, but didn't speak again.
