At night, on an important road leading to Babao Town of Nanzhao Kingdom, dozens of miles away, a group of people were running. These people were not busy, and they were obviously heading to the northwest of Nanzhaoguo......

There may be some unusual reason why they are in such a hurry in the dead of night.

After all, nocturnal walkers have their own way of walking at night.

The northwest direction of Nanzhao was the land of Xichuan where the Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao bordered at that time. Now the two countries are about to start fighting...... Most of the soldiers and horses in Nanzhao are gathering on the Xichuan border, and the people of the two countries are almost trying to flee, for fear that the war will be affected. As a result, the ordinary people in Nanzhao who were close to the Xichuan land of the Tang Dynasty almost became ten rooms and nine emptiness.

In the daytime, there is no place to see people. At night, it is even more desolate.

The cold wind is howling, and the night is chilling.

These people who do not want to run in the night, as if they are tireless, have been running for most of the night, and they have not slowed down their walking. It seems that they are more certain that they are in a hurry!

Nanzhao is originally a mountain road more than a flat road, not to mention the rugged road, and from time to time poisonous insects and beasts infested and injured human life. Especially on such a night, it is a good time for poisonous insects and beasts to infest and forage for food, so the locals of Nanzhao Kingdom will not rush at night.

In any case, no matter how anxious the passer-by is, he still has to take care of his own life.

However, these people who are rushing tonight are not ordinary pedestrians. They were clearly not afraid of poisonous insects and beasts, but they still watched carefully at everything that happened in the darkness of the night.

It can be seen that they also deliberately care about something.

After traversing a jungle, they entered a ruined village.

Everywhere there are ruined walls, dilapidated thatched houses, some collapsed, some half-slanted. Let the night breeze blow, and the half-hidden broken wooden door in the hut creaked and creaked.

There are no lights here, and naturally there is no half of a figure in sight. There was no sound here, except for the dead silence, and even the wolf howls outside the village could not be heard. I really don't know where did those people in the war take refuge?

When the night walkers entered the village, which was full of dead silence, they all raised their vigilance and looked around. It seems that in this silent and dilapidated village, there is something more terrifying than the poisonous insects and beasts in the jungle and mountain roads outside!

Finally, these people slowed down their march after entering the ruined village.

Suddenly, two deep rays of light flashed in the darkness of a night in the village. It was as if the prey of the beast had been waiting for a long time came, and he was so excited that his eyes shone with a long-lost light, as if he was relieved.

Those night walkers also seem to feel something......

"Slow ......down," a very low, gentle voice came from the night walkers, and it was a woman who could hear the words.

The night walkers really stopped, and immediately hugged each other in a circle, and more than a dozen night walkers protected the three people in the center.

They all watched intently at all the movements in the village under the darkness of the night, as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Come out...... What kind of hero is he who hides his head and shows his tail?" came out again from the woman's voice.

After a while, a shrill and piercing laugh finally broke the air over the otherwise dead village.

Immediately afterwards, I heard a burst of firelight......

At this time, dozens of torches around the village gradually lit up, and it turned out that this village had long become a good place to hide and ambush.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Pinglan of the Tang Kingdom, it's really amazing," said a middle-aged man with a weird yin and yang after ......the laughter.

It turned out that these night walkers were Princess Pinglan and others who had just escaped from the capital of Nanzhao Kingdom some time ago.

"Hmph, you were sent by King Nanzhao, right?" Princess Pinglan snorted coldly after looking around.

At this time, Princess Pinglan's subordinates had also seen clearly: these people who had been ambushed earlier were indeed all wearing fine armor and holding iron soldiers, and it could be seen at a glance that they were the elite soldiers of the 'Iron Cavalry Battle Battalion' in Nanzhao Kingdom, which was known for its bravery. The number of people watching is very large, and there are at least three or four hundred people in this momentum alone.

A middle-aged man in his forties dressed as a Confucian scholar slowly walked out of the darkness, holding a gold and steel folding fan in his hand, dangling constantly on his chest. It's winter now, and it's out of place.

One thing is certain, though. This person is definitely not a person from the 'Iron Cavalry Battle Camp' of Nanzhao Kingdom, otherwise he would not be dressed up like this. On the contrary, this middle-aged man's physiognomy and accent are purely possessed by a Tang Dynasty.

Who is he? Princess Pinglan and the others hadn't thought of it yet......

The middle-aged man glanced at Princess Pinglan and the others, and finally stopped his eyes on Princess Pinglan. There seemed to be a glimmer of light in his eyes, but it was fleeting, and he said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, why did you say goodbye to King Nanzhao? This does not seem to be the demeanor of your dignified Tang Dynasty. Now the king of Nanzhao has ordered me to wait here for the princess, and I hope that the princess will return to the capital with us......"

When Princess Pinglan heard this, she smiled faintly and said, "It's not that we deliberately said goodbye, it's just that there is something in the country...... I need to deal with it urgently, and I hope that Zun will go back and pass it on to the king, saying that Pinglan really has something important to do, and it has to be done. ”

The middle-aged man shook the folding fan lightly, sighed, and said, "Under the king's order, I must ask Her Royal Highness the princess to go back!

After hearing these words, Princess Pinglan's face really changed, and the frost on her face began to slowly condense. She couldn't help but snort coldly, and said slightly angrily, "What if I don't go back with you?"

The middle-aged man smiled, but only faintly, as if he had expected Princess Pinglan to say this.

"That'...... I'll have to wait for the strongman......" When the middle-aged man said this, his words were so flat that he couldn't hear the slightest emotion.

It seems that they have long thought of Princess Pinglan and the others, and they will not easily return to the capital of Nanzhao Kingdom with them.

Now that that's it, what else is there to say?

One side wants to go, the other side wants to stay. Going and staying is no longer a twist and turn between words, but to be proved by action!

The current situation can no longer be understood, you have to rely on your strength to go, and you have to rely on your ability to stay!

Just as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a young man in white flashed out beside Princess Pinglan. The young man was obviously extremely angry, he had never seen anyone dare to talk to Princess Pinglan like this, so he only shouted at the middle-aged man: "Bold, you dare to speak to the princess like this......!

The young man's skills were very vigorous, and as soon as he finished speaking, he moved his sword in his hand, pulled a sword duel, and stabbed straight at the middle-aged man......

This sword is known for its speed and ruthlessness, and it seems that this young man's attainments in swordsmanship are not weak.

When the middle-aged man saw the young man stabbing with a sword, he didn't show the slightest panic. Still looking at the young man and smiling faintly, as if he didn't see it.

When the sword stabbed half a foot in front of the middle-aged man, the young man's sword could no longer advance a single bit. Just because the young man's sword was firmly clamped by the middle-aged man with his index finger and middle finger, no matter how the young man moved, he couldn't move half a minute. At that moment, many people outside the venue were stunned, especially Princess Pinglan and others!

The sword is controlled by others, and for the person who wields the sword, it is undoubtedly only a parry and no power to fight back. Just when the young man was anxious, Princess Pinglan leaped out from behind them: a man and a woman, and they jumped up at the same time, swords both of which attacked the vital points on both sides of the middle-aged man's body.

These two people naturally came to save their companions.

The two long swords were like white rainbows piercing the sun, the momentum was extraordinary, and the power of the long swords had already spread before they arrived.

Qingcheng swordsmanship was very famous in the rivers and lakes at that time. This middle-aged man naturally knew it! He didn't dare to be careless, so when he saw the two long swords attacking, he had to withdraw his hand and let go of the young man's sword...... But at the same time, his fingers flexed slightly, and his luck popped out......

The young man only felt that his sword was almost unstable, and when he resisted with his own strength, he felt a deep internal energy surge. At the end of the day, his wrist ached, and when he looked up, a bloody wound was cracked...... Immediately, blood stained the hilt red.

At this moment, the two long swords also arrived beside the middle-aged man.

One left and one right, with extremely tacit cooperation;

One is rigid and the other is soft, and the match is quite harmonious.

At this moment, the injured boy retreated, clutching his wrist and not mentioning it.

While the middle-aged man lightly swept the folding fan and swayed it, when the folding fan swayed from side to side, an arc of light shot out, just blocking the two menacing long swords.

The sword was blocked, and the folding fan was still swaying on the middle-aged man's chest...... A smile hung all over his cheeks, and it was all on the middle-aged man's body.

"Okay! What a brilliant martial artist...... I can't imagine that there are such masters as Your Excellency in Nanzhao Kingdom!" The person who spoke was Princess Pinglan, who had been watching the battle for a long time.

When Princess Pinglan said this, everyone stopped and looked at her in a daze.

At this moment, the moon gradually emerged from the clouds, and the moonlight fell on the ground like water, shining on everyone's body.

The night in the village is no longer as gloomy as Fang Cai, but it has never been able to hide the gloom and desolation between heaven and earth.

The moonlight shone on Princess Pinglan, who was moving lightly, facing her light hair in the night breeze, and setting off her gently swaying long dress, like a Lingbo fairy.

Everyone was stunned, just because she was so beautiful.

Until Princess Pinglan walked in front of the middle-aged man and stopped. She slowly looked at the man in front of her, sighed slightly, and continued: "You are not from the Nanzhao Kingdom, why do you have to be our enemy?"

The middle-aged man listened to Princess Pinglan's words and said with a smile: "The Tang Dynasty has gone through hundreds of years, and the qi is about to run out...... The so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and people have their own aspirations. I advise the princess to return to Nanzhao with her......"

Princess Pinglan smiled and said, "Although you are outnumbered, you may not be able ......to stop us!

The middle-aged man was obviously very confident, perhaps by virtue of the hands he had just revealed.

"Ha Lu Ha...... In this situation tonight, do you still want to fight the trapped beasts? I advise you not to kill yourself......

After hearing these words, Princess Pinglan was already angry, and her willow eyebrows were erected, and a chill slowly shrouded her beautiful face.

It was as if everyone was feeling a pang of unease.

She was furious.

The air was filled with intense and uneasy anger.

Everyone felt it......

However, everyone thinks that Princess Pinglan is still so beautiful when she is angry.

However, people often don't know that beneath the façade of beautiful things may be hypocrisy, unreal, elusive, terrible and murderous!

This is especially true of beautiful women!(Perhaps, there are exceptions, but few people meet them!)

At that time, when the middle-aged man saw Princess Pinglan's face different, he had raised his vigilance!
