The Cardinal Knight raised his black curly hair, and his shiny black agate-like eyes looked at the acacia tree playfully: "Beautiful young lady, I can't bear to make you sad, but this is about the honor of the Octavia Knights, please forgive your sins." ”

The white-haired Black Ridge Suojin looked at Ma Lan Zhangxiu with a smile.

Ma Lan Zhangxiu didn't seem to mind winning or losing, she just looked up at Ah Lan, as if she was worried that she would fall off the branch and fall on her head, and said vigorously: "You be careful Ah Lan, don't fall, don't fall." ”

Ah Shan said with a wry smile: "Childe, Ah Lan grew up in the forest since he was a child, and climbing trees is as safe as walking, I'm afraid that Ah Lan won't fall once if you fall ten times." ”

Ali said with a sad face: "I'm not worried about Ah Lan falling on my heel at all, I'm worried that the secret butler will break my ass." ”

Ah Die smashed some unknown objects on his body at Ah Shan and Ali: "Stupid cheap slave, if you don't catch those little birds, you're almost done flying!" Go get it! ”

"Ahh

At this moment, a huge black shadow shrouded overhead, and there was a sound of rustling in the woods, and a strange bird appeared above everyone's heads, fanning its multicolored wings with a diameter of one zhang, and quacking strangely.

The knights were frightened and hurriedly looked up to see what it was.

I only heard Ah Lan's coquettish shout: "Jiufeng, catch them!" ”

Before the words were finished, the larks that flew into the air fell down with a snap, and there was extreme fear in their chirping voices. The lark, which was still alive when it fell to the ground, retracted its wings and chirped on the ground, never daring to run into the sky again.

The squirrel rope in the Cardinal Knight's hand was loosened, and the gray, black, and brown squirrels who were about to flee in panic heard the trembling rattling of the strange birds in mid-air, and almost at the moment of running, they knew that there was no way out, and crouched on the ground trembling, not daring to move.

The Cardinal Knight raised his head, and saw the behemoth in mid-air spreading its wings and soaring, and the birds and squirrels in the middle of the field were so frightened that they fell to the ground, screaming and screaming in panic. Twenty-three birds and squirrels were all in the middle of the field.

The Cardinal Knight looked at Black-Leon Sorkin, who spread his hands helplessly.

"Octavia Knight is a promise to escort the son of Maran back to China safely!" Six Octavia knights bent their knees and swore an oath to Maran Zhangxiu.

Malan Zhangxiu looked at Black Suosuojin in disbelief: "Really? You promised to send me home? ”

"Octavia Knight is a promise to escort the son of Maran back to China safely!" With his head hanging down and white hair covering his forehead, he led five knights, and his voice was clear and decisive.

Ma Lan Zhangxiu hurriedly nodded at the black Suosuo Jin: "Please get up, please get up." Thank you Sir! ”

The six Octavia knights stood up, looked at each other, and then looked at Ah Lan, who was still riding on the branch of the golden acacia tree, with puzzled expressions.

Sasha Knight leaned on the Cardinal Knight and asked delicately, "Are we living in this world?" Why would we be defeated by a little girl? ”

The Cardinal Knight dodged away from the Sasha Knight, who stumbled and almost fell.

With a smile on his face and a bright face, the Cardinal Knight bent one knee and saluted Ah Lan, who was slipping down from the acacia tree: "Beautiful young lady, although my proud head will not admit it to you, the reality is so cruel. Accept the loyalty of your humblest of cardinal knights! ”

The Cardinal Knight straightened up and wanted to reach out to pick up Ah Lan, but was crossed by Maran Zhangxiu behind him, and picked up Ah Lan from the acacia tree with both hands.

Ah Lan smiled happily at the Cardinal Knight, "Now, you are going to protect Childe and return to China, right?" ”

The Cardinal Knight bowed gracefully to Ah Lan: "As you wish!" But can you tell us how your strange bird will listen to your call? ”

Ah Lan said casually, "I raised it, my brother brought it back to me, and I kept it, of course it will listen to me." ”

Cardinal Knight cautiously mumbled: "It turned out that you raised it." ”

Ma Lan Zhangxiu said proudly: "That black dog named Jinxiu is also raised. ”

Cardinal Knight pretended to be surprised: "Ah, the black dog is called Zhangxiu? You can have the same name as a dog? ”

Ali roared: "Hey, the black dog is called Jinxiu, isn't it called Zhangxiu?" ”

The knights rejoiced.

Ali was stunned for a moment, and immediately smirked awkwardly at Malan Zhangxiu: "I'm sorry Childe, I mean the black dog is called Jinxiu, not to say-"

Ma Lan Zhangxiu glared at him: "Shut up, you!" ”

Ah Shan walked up to Ah Die, and said confidently: "You, come down, this is where Gongzi and Ah Lan are sitting." ”

A Die's eyes spewed sparks, and he pouted at Ah Shan: "But I'm injured!" ”

"Same." Ah Shan couldn't help but remove Ah Die from the black strong horse, smiled at Ah Lan, and respectfully asked Ma Lan Zhangxiu: "Childe, shall we go with Miss Ah Lan?" ”

Ma Lan Zhangxiu helped Ah Lan onto the horse and rode forward.

Adie's eyes widened, and she turned and crawled towards Ali's pony, and quickly climbed onto the horse, grasping the saddle steadily. Ali stepped on the saddle, his legs tightened on the horse's belly, and chased after Malan Zhangxiu.

Ahsan glanced at the Octavia knights with some doubt, and saw that they were also slowly preparing to mount their horses, so he believed that they would fulfill their promises, and jumped on their horses and rode the ground, and the horses' hooves were gained.

The moonlight reflected the handsome face of the Cardinal Knight, and he tugged at the corners of Black-Leed Sorkin's coat and quietly asked, "Is she a Dark Witch?" ”

Black Ridge Sorkin shook his white hair: "Have you ever seen such a young black witch?" She can speak birds, beasts, and beckons. Why can't I remember where I've heard this whistle? ”

Sasha Knight stroked the hair hanging down in front of her forehead, and said in a delicate tone: "This girl is like me, versatile and kind-hearted, and beautiful and lovely." ”

The bald knight slung the iron sword on his shoulder, and winked at the knight: "Actually, you are the same as me, although you are tall and mighty, but you are not liked by girls. ”

Sasha was deflated.

Heilen Sokin turned his head towards the other people, and said to the brown bearded Dongdan knight: "You two are fighting outposts, if there is an ambush, act quickly, drive out the ambushers, and don't wait for the distance to get close before responding." Bald head, your palace, I will accompany the prince of Maran. ”

Sasha stretched out her finger and pointed at the Cardinal Knight coquettishly: "People are going to be on a team with the Cardinals." ”

"Evening!" The Cardinal Knight slapped his horse away, leaving behind a string of laughs and a pun.

Sasha covered her mouth and smiled: "I hate it, and I take advantage of others." ”

The group rode their horses according to the arrangement of the Black Lensokin, and from time to time there was a quacking or two of night owls or the purring of owls in the dense forest, and in front of the horse team, occasionally rushed out some nocturnal wild cats and wild dogs.

The nine phoenixes soared in front of Ah Lan and Ma Lan Zhangxiu, their huge wings fanning the cool breeze before dawn. The wind blew the leaves, the horses' hooves trampled, and the black cloak surged towards the Qixia Inn like waves.

Jiufeng quacked, and the forest instantly sounded the sound of a flock of birds fluttering and flying, and fled in all directions in panic, roaring like the earth was trembling, the forest was on fire, the branches were snapping, and the Russian tilted, and after a while, it was silent again.

The Dongdan knights, who served as outposts in front, waded across the creek and entered the Bamboo Gorge. At the bottom of the valley, there is a dense and tall forest of primeval bamboo, which gradually spreads down the canyon to the whole mountain, endlessly.

The Cardinal Knight looked around and crossed the river with his horse.

"Be on your guard. Although this Zhuzhu Canyon is only ten miles long, it has always been a good place to set up an ambush, the mountains are high and the valleys are low, the Zhuzhu is densely covered, and the morning and evening are shrouded in dense fog, we must pass through as soon as possible. Black-Leon Sorkin commanded the people.

The bamboo is dense and lush. Some of the bamboo knots are as thick as a bucket, some are as high as 100 zhang into the sky, these are accompanied by the river into the shade, the beautiful and pure bamboo, its bamboo qi taste is very beautiful, it is the traditional traumatic medicine of the mountain people, and eating it can also stop the sores and boils.

"Wangwang", Jinxiu suddenly roared towards the low bamboo bushes by the stream.

The nine phoenixes soared over the stream, quacking and screaming, but no birds flew in fright, and animals swept by. Obviously, it is not birds and animals that are hidden in the bamboo forest, but people.

"Alert!" Black-Leed Sokin Lerma roared, whistled, and drew his iron sword.

The other five Octavia knights also drew their long swords, and there was a sharp sound of gold and iron clashing.

The Cardinal Knight waded across the river on horseback, scattered with the Dongdan Knight, held a sword and reined in the horse, and waited for Malan Zhangxiu and others to cross the river.

The bald knight and the salsa knight behind the palace quickly caught up, and together with the black ridge sokin and the doctor knight, they formed a protective circle against Maran Zhangxiu.

"Wangwang", Jinxiu shouted frantically, rushed into a bamboo forest, and suddenly screamed and fell out of the bamboo forest, obviously, there was something sharp in the bamboo forest blocking it.

"Splendid!" Ah Lan called back to Jinxiu. Jinxiu ran to Ah Lan's side with the tail horse, and turned back to the bamboo forest for a while.

After the sound of footsteps stepping on the wet leaves, the low bamboo bushes shook lightly and parted to the sides, and with that, about twenty black shadows rose from the ground, and in front of the heads of the horses of the Dongdan Knight and the Cardinal Knight, they also faded from faint to thick, and more than a dozen black shadows stood in front of them.

Jinxiu sniffed, sniffed the tension in the night wind, and continued to growl.

"A stinky dog." A man in the dark shadow said in a broken voice: "It's warm to make a dogskin cloak in winter, but I'm afraid it's a little smaller." ”

The attackers were all dressed in blue-steel rings, with blue and gray cloaks on their shoulders, and armed with double-bladed axes with iron strikes, with short grips and extremely heavy blades, with several sharp nails at the front ends.

The nine phoenixes rattled over the head of the attacker, who did not move, apparently a well-trained professional soldier.

Black Ridge Sokin said passionately: "Who is coming? This is the son of Nanshu Maran, the prince of the prince, His Royal Highness Prince Shushanyi! Get out of here! ”

Ah Die tugged at the corner of Ali's clothes behind him and asked softly, "What does the prince mean?" Is His Royal Highness the Prince a big nobleman? ”

Ali snapped off Adie's hand without looking back, staring nervously around him, quietly pounding from the saddle, a jagged dagger flashing into his hand from the loop.

Ahsan narrowed his eyes, slowly bent down, and finally crouched on the horse's back, took out a sleeve from the saddle, and carefully hid it between the sleeves.

"There are still people in the bamboo forest." Ah Lan turned his head and said quietly.

Ma Lan Zhangxiu nodded, didn't say a word, just hugged Ah Lan tighter.

Hearing this, Hei Leng Sokin also pulled out a long sword made of stainless steel from his back and threw it to Ma Lan Zhangxiu: "If you can protect yourself, you will leave." ”

Ma Lan Zhangxiu stretched out his hand to take the sword and smiled faintly: "This son originally had a good sword, but he never used a sword in Snow Blue City, so he threw it on the luggage cart." Use your sword for now - do you want this prince to be a deserter? ”

Ah Die tugged at the corners of Ali's clothes again: "Why are those people called Gongzi for a while, and Prince Taisun for a while." Who is the grandson of Wang? How big is His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

Ali slapped Ah Die's dirty hands again without looking back, and said in a low voice: "Older than the official capital of your ancestor for the eighteenth generation." ”

Black Ridge Sokin's eyes were like cones, he looked at the group of attackers, and said coldly:

"Majestic horses, blue steel ring armor, blue gray cloak, if you play the flame flag of Nanshu, it is the regular blue turban army of Nanshu. If so, you are rebelling against kings; If not, why not make it clear that you want to blame others? ”
