After explaining to An Youzhen about helping Zheng Xiujing apply medicine and examine the wound, Xu Huabiao did not see Zheng Xiujing again in the next few days.

Pei Xiuzhi knew that Xu Huabiao detained An Youzhen in the party because she had a red rabbit horse, and she could run faster with people, which was really irrefutable, so she could only accept it.

A thousand people, Pei Xiuzhi led by herself, which was not a big challenge for her.

However, after the battle of Hongnong and seeing how Xian Enjing commanded Ruoding in the big tent, she felt as if she also needed such exercise.

In fact, seriously speaking, An Youzhen's girl doesn't seem to be of much positive help to her in commanding the troops to fight......

With such an idea, Pei Xiuzhi walked very simply.

Lin Yun'er took the Shenji Battalion, as well as An Youzhen, and accompanied Xu Huabiao to stay in Shangdang, waiting for Zheng Xiujing's injuries here to recover.

Zheng Xiujing's recovery from her injuries was carried out at exactly the speed that Xu Huabiao expected.

I don't know if it's because Xu Huabiao said the right thing that she didn't dare to delay, or because of some other indescribable reason, in the next few days, Zheng Xiujing listened to Xu Huabiao's words very much.

If you don't let you wear corset, you won't wear it.

Wash the wound with alcohol every day, then wash it.

In the first two days, because of some signs of suppuration, Zheng Xiujing really had to die twice a day.

By the third day, the wound had healed and it was finally better.

In this way, ten days later, An Youzhen said to Xu Huabiao that Zheng Xiujing should be able to go on the road.

And Xu Huabiao also went to check it himself, as if it was ...... No problem indeed.

The corset pants that were "confiscated" by Xu Huabiao were also returned to Zheng Xiujing......

Zheng Xiujing's "missing underwear" style style did not affect the effectiveness of her work.

Anyway, no one dared to stare at whether Zheng Xiujing was not wearing corseted pants...... Ahem.

After ten days, the incorporation of the surrendered Shangdang City has been completed, and the envoy sent from Shangdang to Xuchang to ask the Son of Heaven to reappoint Shangdang Taishou has set out.

And Park Ji-yeon, who had already taken 3,000 Hongnong troops to Shangdang, and after leaving 500 defenders, according to Xu Huabiao's "suggestion", Park Ji-yeon embarked on the road to the east to persuade the Huguan guards.

You have to give this "own person" a chance to make meritorious contributions, right? After taking Huguan, the gateway to the state of Byeong, the army on the side of the state was able to go straight to Yeseong to assist Jung Yoon-ho and Kim Tae-yeon, who were besieging Yeseong there......

That's a big deal.

And Xu Huabiao and his entourage finally embarked on the road of the Northern Expedition again.

This time, because the soldiers had already followed Pei Xiuzhi north, Xu Huabiao and they were only left with a group of elites.

The marching speed is also faster.

All the way to the north.

Two days passed.

"Let's camp here today. Depart early tomorrow and arrive in Jinyang before evening. ”

Xu Huabiao pointed to a place next to the road that seemed quite suitable for camping, and said to Lin Yun'er.

"Okay." Lin Yun'er responded with a smile and glanced at the girls in the Jingji camp.

You don't need to give an order, just dismount and camp cleanly.

On the other side, An Youzhen helped Zheng Xiujing get off the horse.

"You'll be able to get to Jinyang tomorrow?"

In order to avoid embarrassment, Zheng Xiujing tried hard to talk to Xu Huabiao.

"Well, I used to come to this area when I was a kid." Xu Huabiao replied with a smile.

In fact, it's not him, it's another Xu Huabiao...... However, it doesn't matter, there is in memory.

"There's no danger here, is there?"

"Okay, right? There are no beasts of prey in this area, at most wild boars. ”

"Hmm."

Zheng Xiujing is actually not worried about any danger at all.

During this period of time, she has already seen the skills of the ten girls around Xu Huabiao who seem to be harmless to people and animals.

Not to mention wild boars and tigers, even wolves, I'm afraid they are not the opponents of this group of girls.

She just eased the embarrassment by talking awkwardly.

Just as the group was about to set up camp and rest, ready to hit the road early tomorrow.

Suddenly.

"Lord, it seems that a large group of cavalry is coming towards this in the distance!"

The girls of the Shenji Camp, who were still camping a second ago, suddenly stopped their work very tacitly.

At the first time, he untied the horse tied to him from the tree.

One by one, they turned over and formed a defensive formation.

"Don't be afraid, it should be your own person."

Although Xu Huabiao said this, he still glanced at An Youzhen, nodded, and took the bow and arrow from his horse.

An Youzhen protected Zheng Xiujing, who was a little stunned next to her, behind her.

Lin Yuner also stood beside Xu Huabiao.

"Lord, it's not your own person!" The sharp-eyed Wu Xiarong was the first to shout.

"Prepare to meet the enemy." Lin Yun'er calmly ordered.

"Yes!"

With a bang, ten people raised their bows and arrows at the same time.

Xu Huabiao also put the bow and arrow on the rack.

Aim at the person who is leading the charge on the other side.

At a distance of more than a stone's throw from Xu Huabiao and them, the soldiers who rushed over from the opposite side stopped.

It seems to be looking at this side as well.

"Who are you?" Shin Yoon-joo, who was at the front of the ten horsemen protecting the camp, shouted to the other side.

“…… Who are you? We don't even know? The person leading the team on the other side replied.

It's a female voice.

"Black Mountain Thief." Xu Huabiao, who was in the encirclement, seemed to have guessed the origin of the other party.

"Black Mountain Thieves?"

"Well, a group of people who took advantage of the Yellow Turban rebellion are mainly entrenched in the Taihang Mountains in the east......" Xu Huabiao replied to Lin Yun'er in a low voice, and then raised his head and said loudly: "When did you Black Mountain thieves be so bold and dare to run outside Jinyang City?" ”

"You know who we are, and you dare to talk like that?" The female leader on the other side said coldly.

"What would you not dare? When you came to Jinyang to make trouble, you were beaten away by my brother and the people of Jinyang...... I remember them all, you all forgot? ”

“…… Are you Xu Daxia's younger brother?? ”

"Oh, it's me."

“…… Let's go. The female leader beckoned to the man behind her.

"General Wen Xuanya, Xu Daxia has been dead for many years, what are you afraid of! Since it's his younger brother, it just so happens that we kill him and take his head to the convention, so that the others will be the general and you will be the big boss......" said a deputy who looked fierce next to the female leader.

"Yes! Checkmate! The other deputy on the other side of her also said.

The eyes of the "......" female leader turned to Xu Huabiao.

"All troops on alert." Lin Yun'er's eyes narrowed.

She sensed danger.

Xu Huabiao glanced at the other side.

Less than a hundred rides.

Although the Montenegrin thieves are numerous and a force to be reckoned with in the state, they are not people who can afford to raise horses after all.

These sixty or seventy horses mean that perhaps this general can be regarded as a relatively large force among the Black Mountain thieves.

However, there were also ten cavalrymen on his side.

Or is it the Divine Machine Battalion......
