Bidding farewell to his old friends who came to say goodbye, Huo Ran embarked on the return journey with a car full of melons, fruits and vegetables.

In addition to General Qiu, there were also five hundred soldiers accompanying him, in order to protect Huo Ran's safety.

When Huo Ran came to the capital, it took about half a year to trek through mountains and rivers with a pair of feet.

Now it's much easier to get back, just stay in the carriage.

It's just that after a long time, it's inevitable to be depressed.

"Brother Hanwen, do you really want to ride a horse?" General Qiu and Huo Ran soon began to call each other brothers.

Huo Ran smiled indifferently, turned his head and glanced at his left shoulder: "Brother Qiu, don't worry about my wounds, they are all healed now." Don't worry, the one who cares about my body the most must be myself. ”

General Qiu is not a twisted character, seeing the confidence that Huo Ran said, he recruited the logistics people and asked them to lead a tame horse.

The brown-red mare obediently bowed her head in front of Huo Ran.

Huo Ran stepped on the pedals, hugged the horse's neck with one hand, and turned over on the horse as soon as he used force.

"Drive!" With a gentle pull on the reins, the mare ran away without hurry.

Feeling the wind blowing on his cheeks, Huo Ran's body relaxed a lot, he has been surrounded by everyone all the time these days and treated him carefully, he is grateful but feels extremely awkward, and the sympathetic and pitiful eyes of everyone make him even more uncomfortable.

Even with only one hand, he is still him.

Listening to the neat footsteps along the way and looking at the familiar scenery, Huo Ran felt a sense of homesickness in his heart.

After being an official for two years and leaving his hometown for three years, Huo Ran never returned to Hangzhou, and every time he wrote to invite Sister Xu and Li Gongfu to come to Beijing, they also sternly refused, only saying that "I can't leave my hometown".

However, Huo Ran knew very well that they were just worried that they would cause him trouble when they arrived in the capital.

Thinking of Sister Xu and Li Gongfu, who treated him sincerely, Huo Ran couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Sister wrote to me before that there was a surprise, I don't know what it will be?" ”

"Brother Hanwen, what did you think of smiling so happily?" General Qiu rode to Huo Ran's side.

Huo Ran turned his head and glanced at him, "Not long ago, my sister wrote to say that there was a happy event in the family, and I was thinking about what the happy event was." ”

The two horses stood side by side in a calm and calm manner.

"I remember that Brother Hanwen once said that your sister is five or six years older than you, right?" General Qiu saw Huo Ran and nodded, and continued, "Maybe your sister and brother-in-law have added a little nephew to you!" ”

Huo Ran was stunned, Sister Xu and his wife are over thirty years old, and there is no man and half woman so far, if they really have a child, it would be a happy event.

"I lend you good luck!"

More than 500 people walked neatly on the road, and all the pedestrians they encountered avoided them.

Gradually, the population became more and more sparse, and Huo Ran knew that he was about to enter the mountains and forests.

"Something is wrong!" Huo Ran vigilantly urged the horse to General Qiu's side.

General Qiu also felt that something was wrong, but he didn't find any clues.

Huo Ran looked around with cold eyes: "It's too quiet." "There are many birds and insects in the mountains and forests, but now there is no sound.

General Qiu quickly reacted and made a gesture, and the herald officer on the side took out the small flag from his body and flipped it left and right, and the order was quickly passed out.

"Senior brother, did they find us?" The young man wrapped in a gray turban in the grass asked the middle-aged man on the side uneasily, his eyes were bright, clever and energetic.

The middle-aged man looked displeased: "What do you know?!" Don't think that the master spoiled you before, and really regarded himself as a prodigy! ”

Juvenile aggrieved prudence.

The man on the other side suddenly pointed to the team not far away and said, "Senior brother, their formation has changed!" ”

The team, which had been divided into four columns, quickly formed a circle, and the spears of cold light were aimed at all sides.

The middle-aged man looked embarrassed and gritted his teeth and said, "What if you find out?" We have more than a thousand brothers, they are only 500 people, and they have fallen into our encirclement! ”

In the army, General Qiu saw that the soldiers quickly set up a formation, and said to Huo Ran: "Brother Hanwen, please go back to the carriage!" ”

Huo Ran turned the horse's head and headed directly in the direction of the carriage Moreover, his actions remain unchanged now, and it is not the time to be reckless.

General Qiu saw Huo Ran leaving, so he rushed to the front of the battle with peace of mind.

"Lang Lang Qiankun, you dare to ambush the court officials, you are really bold! What is it? This is a rebellion! General Qiu said in a loud voice, "Since you are bold, why don't you come out and let me see and understand?" Let General Ben hear what grievances you have, and dare to do this thing of raiding your family and exterminating your family? ”

The words "raiding the family and exterminating the clan" caused a panic among the people in the grass.

"What a mess!" The middle-aged man at the head turned around and scolded, "Don't forget, we all signed life and death certificates!" ”

The middle-aged man shouted with a hideous face: "This general, we are not rebelling, as long as you hand over that cripple, we will let you go!" This dog officer killed our senior brother, or a master, today we only ask for a blood debt and blood payment! ”

General Qiu laughed: "Let us go?" Aren't you afraid of the wind flashing your tongue? Our brothers who fought on the battlefield are still afraid of you rabble? ”

The spear-wielding soldiers burst into laughter.

Huo Ran saw it in his eyes and admired in his heart, the unknown enemy was the most terrifying. General Qiu just said a few words to boost his morale, and he deserved to be a battle-hardened veteran.

The ambushers heard the laughter in the encirclement, and became even more uneasy. Those are the ones who kill people without blinking, are they really worth it?

The clever young man was a little anxious: "Senior brother, hurry up!" We can't delay any longer! ”

The middle-aged man said impatiently: "I don't need you to teach me how to do it!" ”

The young man saw that his senior brother was still hesitating, so he took off the horn from his waist and blew it vigorously.

"Woo-woo-woo-"

The long horn sounded in the silent mountain forest, and everyone was in high spirits at the same time: "It's coming!" ”

"I'll settle accounts with you later!" Seeing that the matter had come to this, the middle-aged man snatched the horn, picked up the blade that had been hidden on the ground, and took the lead in getting up and shouting: "Rush! Kill the dog! ”

"Kill the dog!" Shouts rang out from all directions, and the frightened horses couldn't stop walking around.

Huo Ran listened to the sound of the "dog killer", and there was no fluctuation in his heart.

At a glance, these ambushers were all headscarves, short clothes, and all of them were men in their prime.

The identity is obvious, those monks who were forced to return to the world.

It's just that he's here to die.

Sure enough, although there are many monks, there is no order.

In just half an hour, more than a thousand monks were all lying on the ground, and Huo Ran was surrounded by the soldiers unscathed.

General Qiu came to Huo Ran's carriage with two soldiers: "Hanwen, there are still a lot of live mouths, what do you think of it?" ”

"Xiangye, Xiangye spares his life!" A middle-aged man who was pressed to the ground struggled desperately, and suddenly his eyes lit up and looked at the young man who was also kneeling on the ground: "Xiangye, it's all this guy who instigated us to say that we want to take revenge!" ”

The young man glared angrily, suddenly deflated, and spat in the direction of Huo Ran: "Dog officer! The master treated me like his own son, but you killed me, and I can't wait to eat your flesh and drink your blood! ”

However, the fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy has a terrifying hatred in his eyes.

General Qiu frowned and wanted to step forward.

Huo Ran waved his hand and walked over by himself: "The crimes you commit will be determined by the imperial court." You don't have the heart to excuse your brother. Let's take it back to the capital! ”
