When Ning Ze was dealing with the affairs of Hanzhou, the border was indeed lively.

Thinking of this possibility, Ning Ze had already ordered that if he couldn't hold it, he would temporarily give up Ziwu and Xingtai, but he didn't expect that in the face of Sima Fa and Feng Qiao's offensive, he would be able to keep the city without retreating!

It's surprising and exciting.

The military situation on the border came one after another through telegrams, and there was no other bad news except that Sima Fa and Feng Qiao attacked the city fiercely, which made the defenders fall into a bitter battle.

The reason for the rush to return is mainly to relieve the pressure on the border.

Who knows what else Sima Fa and Feng Qiao will play?

Bidding farewell to the Yan brothers and the Duzhao County Order, Ning Ze took Xiao Yan and set off immediately.

The team marched to Tiantai County, and an army arrived from the flank.

It turned out that Mi Yan had turned back, and she was going to go to Yujun, but she learned through the radio that Ning Ze was leaving Hanzhou and rushing to the border, so she rushed to the border without stopping.

When the husband and wife met, Ning Ze stepped forward immediately.

"Speaking of getting together in Hanzhou, why doesn't the husband wait for the concubine?" Mi Yan was slightly dissatisfied.

Ning Ze said: "I didn't expect the matter in Hanzhou to be so fast, and the border military situation is urgent, so I forgot it!"

"Fortunately, the concubine traveled day and night, so she caught up!" Mi Yan rode close to Ning Ze, husband and wife side by side.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Ning Ze looked at her with a smile, "The little girl was delivered safely?"

"The concubine will go out in person, of course, and send her home safely!" Mi Yan raised her chin proudly, "That girl is very pleasing, and the sisters can't put it down." ”

"Can't put it down?" Ning Ze heard this, beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, "You don't treat her as a toy, do you?"

Everyone treats that girl as their own daughter, just like their husband. Mi Yan smiled, "The husband has a good eye, and Xiu'er also likes his future princess!"

"That's good!" Ning Ze relieved himself, "Since the lady has arrived, it is convenient for her husband to join forces and go to the border." ”

"Okay!" Mi Yan looked at Xiao Yan, "I've worked hard for you these days." ”

"It's all the duty of the last general!" Xiao Yan replied respectfully.

"What happened during the time when the concubine was away?" Mi Yan turned to Ning Ze, "Why can you solve the most headache in the imperial court in such a short time, along the way, the husband has to talk to the concubine carefully!"

"Of course," Ning Ze smiled, "Let's not waste time, let's go immediately." I'm in a hurry, and I'll explain it to you. ”

"Hmmm......"

Ning Ze's husband and wife converged, led the army to the border, left Hanzhou day and night, and entered Guangping County, Liangzhou within one day.

When the team was tired, it was temporarily stationed in a small mountain col near Daguan Township, Ju County, Guangping County.

Just before the sun sets, the avenue is empty and there are no pedestrians in sight.

Basically, before nightfall, pedestrians and vendors will find a resting place in advance to avoid walking at night.

There were no street lights in those days, and it was extremely dangerous to walk after dark. After all, there are deep mountains and old forests everywhere, and fierce beasts are infested at night, and attacks on passers-by often occur.

The army is fine, because of its size, and if there is moonlight, the beasts that rush at night may not have the courage to approach.

Ning Ze's plan was to let the army repair overnight, continue to rush tomorrow morning before the sun came out of the mountain, and travel day and night, go as far as he could, shorten the journey as much as possible, and reach the border as soon as possible.

Therefore, the army set up camp and cooked on the spot, without wasting time.

After eating and drinking, he retreated left and right, and Mi Yan was in a tent, and was about to use this gap to have some fun between husband and wife, Xiao Yan suddenly came over and said loudly outside: "Lord Wang, there is an old man outside the camp, it seems that he is a common man from Da Xuan Township, saying that he has something important to say!"

"At this time?" Ning Ze was hugging Mi Yan, and he was a little depressed when he heard this.

Mi Yan smiled and got up from his arms, quickly sorted out his clothes, and said outside: "Bring someone over!"

"Whoa!"

Seeing Ning Ze's depressed face, Mi Yan smiled and said: "The night is long, why should the husband be depressed? Most of the local people will avoid the barracks, and some people will take the initiative to come to the door, maybe there is something really important." ”

"Of course Lone knows!" Ning Ze turned his head to look at her, "I'll clean you up later." ”

Mi Yan lowered her head and smiled, while reaching out to smooth the wrinkles on Ning Ze's clothes.

After a short time, Xiao Yan entered the tent with an old man about sixty or seventy years old, with a wooden stick on top of his head, with a wrinkled face.

The man was dressed in patched, dirty cloth and held a bamboo basket filled with wild herbs and some common herbs.

When he entered the tent and saw Ning Ze, the old man immediately stepped forward and bowed: "Little old man greets the general!"

General? Ning Ze looked at the old man suspiciously, and said in his heart I have so many Ningzi flags hanging outside, as well as dragon patterns, all of which are symbols of the prince's identity, and they are not low-key hidden, you can't recognize them?

Then I thought about it, in this poor and remote area, the people may not recognize the dragon flag. Moreover, most people in this era are illiterate, and the news in remote areas is closed, so I take it for granted.

He didn't correct the old man's name, and mistakenly thought that he was a general with troops, so let's take it as such!

It is impossible for ordinary people to enter the barracks for no reason, and most people avoid the barracks decisively when they see them, and they dare not approach.

Hearing Ning Ze's question, the old man raised his head and said, "Little Lao'er is from Da Xuan Township and is about to go home." Seeing that the general is stationed here, he must not have heard of the strange things that have happened in Da Xuan Township recently!"

"Oh?" Ning Ze suddenly became interested, "What's the strange thing?"

The last time I rushed from the border to Hanzhou, I also passed through Daguo Township, which was normal at that time.

"General, the sun is about to set, and it is extremely dangerous to stay here!" said the old man, "It is better to rise up from the village, and the old man will take you to the township, and don't stay in the mountain col." If it's dark, it's too late!"

"Why?" Ning Ze asked.

"There are monsters in this mountain, and seven or eight passing merchants died two days ago, and it is very miserable!" replied the old man, "this general, leave here with the old man quickly, and it should be fine when you get to the village." That monster only eats passers-by!"

"Monsters?" Ning Ze looked surprised, "There are monsters here, old man, don't bluff me!"

"How dare the little old man?" the old man said busily, "This matter is true, don't dare to deceive the general!"

"Husband, why don't we pull out the village and leave?" Mi Yan couldn't help but get goosebumps when she heard the word monster.

In the end, a woman, no matter how strong she is, she is afraid of this kind of strange thing.

Ning Ze didn't believe in the monsters, after all, he had traveled to this world for many years, and he had run through most places across the country, killing countless enemies on the battlefield, and there were really monsters who had already come to the door. So he smiled and said, "Not to mention whether the monster exists, even if it does, dare to make a mistake in front of me?"

"General!" said the old man, "that monster is very fierce, and it really eats people!"

"Old man, I am really grateful that you can come here on purpose!" Ning Ze reached out and took out a silver ingot, "This is a thank you gift, can you carefully explain what the monster looks like and what you have the ability to do?"

"Little Lao'er didn't come here for the silver," the old man hurriedly waved his hand, "Everyone who has seen the monsters is dead, and it's miserable! Everyone only knows that there are monsters in this mountain col, and they will come out at night, which is quite dangerous." I really don't know what it looks like! I know that it eats people, and those who pass by here at night will definitely die!"

"So powerful?" Ning Zexin said, could it be some kind of beast, or someone deliberately pretending to be? Immediately got up and walked to the old man, and put the silver in his injury, "Thank you for the kindness of the old man, this general will definitely see what that monster looks like tonight!"

"General, it's important to save your life!" the old man hurriedly pushed the silver back, "There are really monsters here, hurry up and go with the little old man!"

"The sun is about to go down, why don't the old people stay and watch General Ben catch demons?" Ning Ze said with a smile.

Seeing that he was unmoved, the old man couldn't help but sigh: "Little old man doesn't dare to stay here." It's not early, and if you don't leave, it's too late! Since the general has decided not to leave, please take care of yourself, the little old man has to go home!"

"Old man, bring the silver!"

"No, no, no, no merit!"

"The old man came to report the news, how could it be in vain?" Ning Ze forcibly stuffed the silver into the other party's hands, "What General Ben gave out, he never took it back!"

"This, this ......"

"Old man, take it!" Mi Yan said with a smile on the side, "This bit of broken silver is nothing." ”

The old man looked at Ning Ze, then at the silver, and finally sighed: "General, you are a good person! Don't you really consider going with the little old man? It's still too late to leave!"

"Don't worry, old man. Ning Ze smiled, "General Ben crisscrosses the battlefield, people block and kill, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, how can a monster be bothered? If it dares to come, it will definitely die under the sword of this general!"

"In that case, the little old man has nothing to say. The old man sighed, "Take care, General!"

"Xiao Yan!"

"In!"

"Send the old man outside the camp!"

"Whoa!"

The old man bent his waist and followed Xiao Yan out of the barracks step by step.

Mi Yan hurriedly came to Ning Ze's side, gently pulled his sleeve, and her voice was a little scared: "Husband, is it really okay......?"

"After so many years, Madam still doesn't believe in her husband's ability?" Ning Ze asked with a smile.

"The husband is very powerful, what if the monster is very fierce?"

"Don't worry!" Ning Ze said softly, "It's better not to come, if it dares to appear, it will not come back." Even if you can't believe in being a husband, there is still Shui Bo, who dares to commit murder in front of it?"

Hearing this, Mi Yan finally felt a little relieved: "Yes! Shui Bo is a god of the land, and he receives incense from all the people." When the demons and demons see it, they will definitely not dare to make a mistake!"

"Yes, what's there to worry about?" Ning Ze patted her on the back, "With the mana of Lone, plus Shui Bo, don't talk about monsters, even if the gods come, they may not be able to take advantage!

"If it can be eradicated, it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, right?" Mi Yan was relieved, and immediately said, "The concubine also wants to catch demons with her husband!"
