My eyesight is not very good, but I also recognize it, it is the elite of the steppe cavalry invincible on the battlefield, the iron cavalry created by the Iron Cavalry King!

More than two dozen of us stood on this side, watching the mighty cavalry rush towards us, and the smoke and dust behind us obscured the sky and the sun, and there was an illusion that we were going to be swallowed by them.

Li'er also subconsciously grabbed my arm and pulled it tightly.

I gently touched her heart comfortingly, and when I raised my head again, the group of imposing iron cavalry was already close in front of me, almost about to collide with us, and the eighteen horsemen of Anyang hurriedly rode forward, forming a protective semicircle formation in front of us, and tightly protecting several of us in the center.

With a few brushes, the knife came out of its sheath, and the bright light of the knife illuminated my eyes.

Eventually, the hooves of the Iron Cavalry stopped less than a foot away from them, and the smoke and dust they stirred up slammed into our faces.

The leader of the eighteen cavalry of Anyang stood at the front and said loudly: "What person? ”

"Hmph, I'm afraid you shouldn't have asked us this!"

The leader of the cavalry rode up slowly, and looked at the eighteen horsemen, and then at their horses.

These cavalrymen looked fierce and arrogant one by one, and I was faintly worried that there would be a conflict between the two sides, but fortunately, these people didn't say anything, but walked straight up to us and bowed to Pei Yuanxiu: "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

“……！”

The others hadn't spoken yet, but I immediately felt that Liu Qinghan next to me frowned.

Pei Yuanxiu smiled slightly, and was noncommittal, only said: "It seems that the prince already knows that I am coming." ”

"Yes. The prince specially sent me to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess. ”

This time, it was Li'er, who looked at me in a small voice and said, "Mother, what are they talking about?" ”

I touched the top of her head again, but without speaking, Pei Yuanxiu had already turned around and nodded to us, and everyone rode their horses together and followed the group of iron cavalry forward.

Liu Qinghan's horse was neither fast nor slow, so he walked next to us, although I didn't turn my head to look, I could feel the faint heaviness emanating from him.

Then, he turned his head to look at me.

Just staring at each other, and not saying anything else, we galloped all the way, and after a cup of tea, we finally arrived at the city.

Wuwei is one of the four counties of Hexi, and it is also an important pass to resist foreign invasion in ancient times, so the city tower here is built extremely tall and mighty, and you can vaguely feel the majestic momentum of the golden iron horse in the past, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger. And when I entered the city, I felt the simplicity here. Merchants, farmers, and herdsmen have made this northern border city lively and fulfilling.

There are no palaces, no elegant gardens, and under the gray sky, only a building stands in the middle of the city.

The tall porches and corridors can even be ridden directly to guò, and when we enter the gate, we get off the horse and see a white figure standing on the long staircase, looking down on us.

That person was tall and long, dressed in white like snow, but unlike Pei Yuanxiu's white clothes, his clothes were tightly wrapped around the toned and strong body, and the broad belt was tied tightly, making it more and more broad-shouldered and long-legged, with a kind of animal vigor and grace. The long placket fluttered in the wind, making the sound of hunting.

Although it was still far away, I recognized the eagle-like eyes and arrogant expression at a glance.

I couldn't help but grit my teeth.

As soon as Pei Yuanxiu saw him, a little smile appeared on his face, and he slowly walked up, until he walked in front of him, the two looked at each other for a long time, and finally Luo Shi opened his mouth first: "Don't come to harm?" ”

Pei Yuanxiu said with a smile: "The prince is more energetic than before. ”

"Speaking of high spirits, how can I compare to you?" He said: "When you left Dongzhou, you were alone, but now you have become the lord of Jiangnan, I really didn't expect that you could do it!" ”

Liu Qinghan and I, with the accompanying attendants and the eighteen horsemen of Anyang, also walked up slowly, just when we heard this, our footsteps froze, and Luo Shi turned his head to look at me again.

When I met his piercing gaze, I couldn't help but shudder.

The last time I saw him, it was seven or eight years ago.

He is still the same as at the beginning, vigorous and handsome, the kind of momentum that swept thousands of troops on the battlefield with one enemy and one hundred has not diminished at all, although there is a smile on his face, but that smile seems to have the sharpness of a sword, like a dormant leopard, although it is leisurely and gorgeous, but it hides bloodthirsty claws, which makes people feel faintly shrunk just by looking at it.

As soon as I saw him, my face turned pale.

Many memories of the past, painful, sad, desperate, and even resentful, all came to my heart like a tide at this moment, and I even had a sense of vulnerability that my body was about to be unable to bear those feelings, and I gritted my teeth and looked at him so that I could not do something.

He glanced at me and smiled lukewarmly: "It's been a long time." ”

I stared at him vigorously, "It's been a long time. ”

"I've always wanted you to come."

"The prince wants to see me?"

"Someone wants to see you."

My heart stopped beating a beat, and I subconsciously said, "Where is he?" ”

Rosh sneered, but did not answer my words, but turned his head and looked at the person who had been standing silently beside me: "Who are you?" ”

My heart tightened again, and when I looked back, I saw a face as cold as the mask under the half of the mask. With a hint of indifference, Liu Qinghan said calmly: "It's just a casual matter below." ”

Pei Yuanxiu glanced at us.

"Followers?" Luo Shi slowly walked up to him, looked at him with a bit of sharpness in his eyes, and then said: "Why haven't I heard that there is still a saying in the Central Plains that people with disfigured faces are hired as followers?" ”

I hurriedly said, "But he is very capable." ”

"Competent?" Rosh sneered: "Of course you can do it." ”

“……”

"If you can't do it, how can you burn down the emperor's palace?"

“……！”

"If you can't do it, how can you get the emperor's trust and go to guard Yangzhou?"

“……！”

"I can't do it, how can I have the qualifications to marry your eldest princess?"

Liu Qinghan and I were so shocked that we couldn't speak for a while.

Unexpectedly, Losh knew it all!

How did he know?

The things that Liu Qinghan did, although they are not a secret among us, but in the end they still whitewashed the past above the court, Pei Yuanhao pressed down with a holy decree, and even he didn't know that he did it by burning the Jixian Palace, Luo Shi was thousands of miles away, and there were so many estrangements from the court, how could he know so many things about Liu Qinghan?!

Can you still recognize him?

I only felt a panic in my heart, but I didn't have time to think about it, I saw Liu Qinghan's eyelashes trembling slightly, covering his dark eyes, after a while, he raised his head and saluted Luo Shi respectfully: "In the lower Yangzhou Mansion Yin Liu Qinghan, Prince Mu has been famous for a long time, and when I see it today, I am fortunate to have three lives." ”

Losh burst open his mouth and laughed.

His complexion was dark, but his teeth were snow-white, and this smile did not have the slightest gentleness and pleasure, but instead showed its sharp teeth and fangs like a dormant leopard, and just one glance made him feel bloody.

"Yangzhou Mansion Yin."

He repeated again, smiling: "You know that I have been 'admiring that place for a long time'. ”

Liu Qinghan's face had been gloomy for a long time, but at this time, even his eyes sank.

Of course, I have been admiring it for a long time.

Maybe in the past, Liu San, who was in Yangzhou, would not understand, but after being an official for so many years, and even being a household secretary, Liu Qinghan naturally knew very well that the large amount of taxes collected by the imperial court from Jiangnan every year flowed to where the untouchables in Jiangnan flowed, and those untouchables in Jiangnan faced the loess every day with their backs to the sky, not only because they needed to work hard, but also because each of them carried one or even more people on the grassland, so that the people of Yangzhou could not stand up for generations.

Liu Qinghan once told me that he has always felt that he has a responsibility to Jiangnan and the people of Jiangnan, so now he must know better that if he wants to seek a fair right to survive for Jiangnan and the people of Jiangnan, then who he has to face and who he has to fight against!

It's the person in front of you!

Rosh looked at him, and seemed to be very interested, and his eyes were shining: "It's an unexpected surprise to see you here." ”

"Don't dare."

"Do you have anything else to say?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Qinghan had already frowned slightly, I also felt that something was wrong, and before I could react, Luo Shi had already waved his hand: "Kill him." ”

……！

Everyone didn't come back to their senses at all, and on the originally empty high platform, dozens of warriors suddenly poured out of nowhere, one by one, fierce as tigers, rushing over with a raging aura, and the sword in his hand was full of cold light, and it had already stabbed Liu Qinghan.

"Ahh

When everyone didn't react, they suddenly heard a scream, but it was Li'er, she suddenly hugged Liu Qinghan's thigh, and screamed in fright: "Third uncle! ”

Her voice also woke me up at once, and I hurriedly stopped in front of them: "Don't! ”

As if he didn't see me at all, Luo Shi put his hands behind his back and said coldly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, should you take care of your woman?" ”

This matter was obviously not expected by Pei Yuanxiu, and he turned his head to look at me: "Qingying ......"

"No, you can't hurt him!"

As I spoke, I looked at Pei Yuanxiu: "Yuanxiu, it's not okay!" Can't let them hurt him! ”

Looking at my anxious eyes, Yuan Xiu paused slightly, glanced at Liu Qinghan again, and then turned his head to Luo Shi and said, "Prince-"

Luo Shi said coldly: "Since I don't mind you bringing the officials of the Celestial Empire in front of you, you don't mind, what will I do to him." ”

But this time, I saw what the Iron Halberd Prince's order was.

He stood there with his hands behind his back, and only gave this order, although we blocked and distinguished, but the people under his command did not seem to be affected by us at all, although I was standing in front of Liu Qinghan, but there were already samurai rushing up from behind, waving steel swords, and slashed towards him without saying a word.

When I turned around, I only saw a flash of cold light.
