On this day on the fifth day of the sixth lunar month, the newspaper horse of the prince of Rizhuang came to Kyoto, and tomorrow, the prince will arrive in Kyoto.

He Xuan was instructed, and tomorrow with Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, he would get up early tomorrow and go out of the city for ten miles to greet him.

This night, He Xuan did not go back to Liao's house, but stayed in the Ministry of Rites.

Zuo Liang also stayed in the palace because of tomorrow's events.

On the morning of the sixth day of the first lunar month, the sky had just dawned, and He Xuan and the others went out of the city with the Yulinwei team led by Zuo Liang.

This group of men and horses had only just arrived, and they received a report from the horses, and the group of people who had been in the audience was less than ten miles away.

Zuo Liangda has been looking around since he arrived here. Seeing that he was a little nervous, He Xuan asked, "What?" Is there anything wrong? ”

As far as the eye can see, there are woods on both sides of the official road, and if it is a Tibetan, I am afraid that it is also easy to hide.

Zuo Liang shook his head and replied, "I don't see anything wrong, I just feel a little uneasy." Maybe I'm suspicious. He looked at He Xuan, smiled, and said, "I haven't seen you often these days, and I have lost a lot of ......."

"It's hot, and I can't eat anything. Since you are not at ease, the two of us will divide the work one or two, if there is really any accident, the matter of protecting the king will be left to you. As for the county lord and Lord Monkshang, don't be distracted. ”

Zuo Liang nodded and said in a low voice, "It's only right to protect yourself." I don't want to see you hurt. ”

He Xuan smiled slightly and said, "You too." Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Have you given Brother Fan a letter?" People are anxious to see the county lord's face! ”

Zuo Liang smiled "poof", "How dare you forget!" I'm afraid he'll nag me for the rest of my life! ”

"The two adults are so interested, what are you talking about?" At this time, Lord Shangshu came over with a horse led by his subordinates and asked.

"Fuku-sama." The two hugged their fists, and Zuo Liang said: "Brother He Xian is talking about how hard Master Fu has worked these days!" ”

"That's as it should be. It is really an honor for the lower officials to do something for the emperor," said Master Fu looked at He Xuan and said, "If there is no assistance from Lord He, I will save a lot!" ”

"Your Excellency has won the prize."

A few more polite words were remarked, but someone came to report, and in about a quarter of an hour, Wang Jia arrived...... These few talents dispersed, and Zuo Liang gave a few orders to his subordinates and arranged them.

After a while, the sound of drums could be heard in the distance, and several people invariably straightened their clothes, straightened their hats and helmets. Sitting on the horse, his expression became serious.

When the car of the prince of Zhuang arrived, Fu Shangshu led He Xuan and Zuo Liang to get off the horse, hurriedly walked to the front of the car, and greeted him.

Seeing the few people in front of him, King Rizhuang felt a little unhappy.

He is also a prince anyway, although he belongs to the Celestial Empire, his identity is here after all. But right now, the one who greeted him at the head was just a second-class official. I thought that how could I let the virtuous prince who was about the same level as himself go out of the city to greet him......

He just wanted to have a seizure, but he heard Zuo Liang's name from the mouth of Fushangshu.

He still heard of Zuo Liang, especially his father, who is no stranger to this prince...... A few days ago, when the emperor replied to his invitation, he also deliberately mentioned this person...... On the carriage, the prince carefully looked up and down at this heroic young man, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and the little displeasure just now disappeared......

Actually, Yun Zhen was supposed to come today...... However, Yun Zhen threw off the reason that he was not suitable to go out with a back injury early this morning, and temporarily left the formation.

After some cold noise, several people turned over and got on their horses again, walking in front of the team, leading the way for the prince, while Zuo Liang deliberately divided his soldiers into two and guarded them front and rear.

"See?" Xileng, the county lord of Wenxi, who was sitting in the carriage behind, saw his little girl Huanwutong running back, and asked with a smile.

Wutong nodded, jumped into the car at once, and sat next to his own county lord with a smile.

"It's too far away, and there are so many people separated by it, you can't see it if you want to. Tell me, what kind of person is it? Wenxi asked.

"That general is so heroic. However, it seems that I am only afraid of the stench of some Central Plains men! ”

"The stench of the Central Plains man? This stink is still divided into the Central Plains, and the different gangs are not successful? Wen Xi said with a smile.

"Just make fun of me. I've heard others say that the Central Plains has always been inferior to men. Here, man is heaven! Look at the little general......"

"How?"

"I can't say it well, but your temper is also just what you say, but you are not a master of people, I am afraid that you will be angry with him in the future."

"Hmph, you're thinking a long way out. Maybe he'll be able to say otherwise! ”

"County Lord, I also saw someone!"

"Who? Oh...... What are you talking about? Doesn't that mean that he is an old man in his fifties? ”

"It's not. It was the man standing behind him. Age looks like you, that is, you seem to have long eyebrows and clear eyes......"

"Forget it, that kind of half-man and not female, it's disgusting to watch."

"Oh, Lord of the County. If it's just a sissy, I'll tell you......"

"Forget it, don't listen. I'm tired, and I have to travel ten miles in this car. I didn't even let people ride the horses, and the cars were about to shake apart...... When you enter the city, you still pretend to be ...... Give me a pinch. ”

The chariots and horses had walked forward for about a mile or two, when they suddenly heard a whistle.

Zuo Conscience was shocked, he was really afraid of something......

He commanded: "Protect the prince and the county lord." ”

Before the sound fell, a dozen masked people dressed in night clothes flashed out of the woods.

Zuo Liang shouted at the comer: "Where did the thief come from, he actually intercepted the car driver of the Fan King under the blue sky and white sun, and he was impatient?" ”

If it is according to common sense, this loud shout reported the identity of this group of people, but all the thieves who are just waiting for money have already run away and can't even see their figures. However, today's people are the ones who don't follow common sense. Not only did he not run, but the leader of the group talked to Zuo Liang.

"If it weren't for the car of the prince of Rizhuang, I wouldn't be interested."

Zuo Liang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, they were driving for this king...... Could it be that this is a bunch of crazy people? Not to mention shocking the king, even if it is shocking the official driver, it is not a small crime......

"Are you going to rebel?"

Master Fu, who was sitting on the horse on the side, saw that there were not many people coming, and shouted with confidence.

When He Xuan next to him heard this, he secretly laughed and said: Just a dozen or so people, holding a few small knives, you are also jumping too fast, why are you involved in rebellion! Is this the other way around?

"Your Majesty is confident!" After the leader had spoken, he whistled again, and at this moment, a hundred and ten men flashed out of the woods.

Seeing this battle, Lord Fu wilted at that time......

He Xuan looked carefully at the group of people opposite, and suddenly, a person attracted her attention, these eyes, where did she seem to have seen them!

"Today, we will wait to come, one will not rebel, and the other will not rob. It's just that I was entrusted by someone to invite the prince and the county lord to live in my cottage for a few days. Please make it convenient for General Zuo! Otherwise, I'm afraid that these brothers under my command will be offended! ”

"General Zuo?" Zuo Liang saw that the person who came even reported his name clearly, and he was even more surprised!

The words have already come to this, there is no need to continue to talk nonsense, Zuo Liang glanced at He Xuan, He Xuan understood, and gently knocked the shoulder of the little servant who was holding Lord Shangshu's horse with a horsewhip, and pointed back, and the little servant retreated to the carriage behind with He Xuan.

"Wishful thinking! Several thieves also wanted to kidnap Fanwang. Come on, do it. ”

Zuo Liang gave an order, and Yu Linwei on the left and right rushed over together.

Zuo Liang took the horse and came to the side of King Rizhuang's chariot and guarded it tightly.

"Why don't you leave?"

The county lord who was sitting in the car saw that the carriage and horses had stopped again, and craned his neck to look out. saw He Xuan and Master Shangshu coming over.

When he came to the carriage, He Xuan put Master Fu, who was already a little out of his mind, in the middle of the guards, and then urged the horse forward, came to the county lord's side, hugged his fist at her, and said, "Weichen He Xuan, please say hello to the county lord." There are some obstacles ahead, and Yu Linwei is dealing with them, so please calm down. ”

"Obstruction? What's holding you back? Wen Xi looked at the white-faced scholar in front of him and asked.

He Xuan was thinking about how to answer, but saw a guard dressed as a foreign race running over and said to the county lord: "The prince has a life, and there are bandits in front of him." Please be sure not to leave the carriage. ”

"A thief?"

He Xuan frowned, and said it so directly, don't frighten the county lord in front of you.

But when she peeked at the one in the carriage, she was a little dumbfounded, and when she heard that there was a thief, the county lord not only did not lose his face, but swept away the fatigue just now, and his expression became bright.

It seems that this time there is really a great county lord......

He Xuan secretly complained in her heart, if she could stay in the car well, it would be fine. But if she rushes out...... How can this be done?

What's the saying? Oh yes, what are you afraid of!

Just when He Xuan was still thinking about whether His Royal Highness the county lord would jump out of the carriage, she stood up, suddenly ripped off the dazzling crown on her head, and said to the little girl next to her: "Wutong, bring me a guy." It's boring all the way, but it's fun. ”

Before He Xuan could open his mouth to stop him, he heard Wen Xi shouting: "Where did the thief come from, he dared to block the car of the county lord." If I don't let you know how powerful the county lord is, you won't know what the county lord is! ”

After saying this, the county lord of Wenxi "rubbed" and rushed out of the carriage......
