Chapter XVII

Night, summer barracks

The barracks are not as good as the Xia Wang's Mansion, nor are they as good as the Zhou Palace, Gu Yun can't sleep over and over, but Zhou Ranmiao sleeps peacefully, Gu Yun doesn't know when he will turn off the lights.

"Your Majesty......" Gu Yun patted Zhou Ranmiao and did not respond, "Big cousin......"

"What are you going to do...... Zhou Ranmiao replied in a daze, squinted and looked around, and asked, "You turned off the lights?" ”

"Well......" Gu Yun responded, ready to be beaten, and Zhou Ranmiao actually forgot to light the lamp before calling Zhou Ranmiao! Zhou Ranmao is terrible, and he is so scared!

"Oh." Zhou Ranmao was unprecedentedly not afraid, and fell asleep again after only answering a sentence.

Gu Yun was suddenly overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly went to toss Zhou Ranmao: "Young master!" You're not afraid of the dark! ”

"You can be louder and the whole barracks can hear you." Zhou Ranmiao patted Gu Yun's hand on his shoulder, "I ran after Xia Jingyan for a day today, and my bones are almost tired and falling apart, how can I have the strength to be afraid." Zhou Ranmiao's voice was extremely tired.

Hearing the words "Xia Jingyan", Gu Yun suddenly felt a little lost, originally Xia Jingyan should indeed be Zhou Ranmiao's prey, but he just couldn't get used to it.

Gu Yun was in a panic in his heart, he stepped forward and hugged Zhou Ranmiao from behind, hugging him tightly.

"Dare to distract the people! How dare you murder me in a way that I can't breathe while holding me! Zhou Ranmiao said jokingly, as he expected, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Gu Yun laugh, and the hands holding him were lighter.

Zhou Ranmiao stretched out his hand and patted Gu Yun's shoulder back, and whispered, "What are you worried about?" If there's anything to worry about, go to sleep."

Gu Yun was silent, he should have fallen asleep, and Zhou Ranmiao was also relieved and fell asleep.

Wake up the next morning

"Get up, little pig! You're a great example of not sleeping at night and getting down in the morning! Xia Jingchen pulled Xia Jingyan and dragged him to the bed, "I can't sleep today, let's start a war!" ”

"Hmmm! Fight!" Xia Jingyan instantly sobered up, "Really? Take me there? ”

"The beauty you think!" Xia Jingxuan flicked on Xia Jingyan's head, "Let's fight, you stay in the camp, and I'll leave Zhao Jichen to accompany you." ”

What kind of battle is the little girl's family fighting? If something hurts, something happens, don't hurt these brothers!

"I knew ......" Xia Jingyan was full of loss, the little girl should be gentle and not fight.

Xia Jingyan climbed out of the quilt and jumped into Xia Jingxuan's arms from the couch, and Xia Jingxuan almost flashed his waist when he was pressed.

"Advance the whole army!" The leader of the soldiers ordered the troops to move forward, and the carriage was inconvenient, so Xia Jingxuan took Xia Jingyan to ride to the front, followed by Xia Jingchen and Zhou Ranmao.

"Xia Jingxuan is next to me, it's hard for me to start......" Zhou Ranmiao couldn't find any space to talk to Xia Jingyan, and whispered helplessly to Gu Yun.

Xia Jingxuan's defense against him is tighter than that of thieves!

According to Xia Jingxuan's inner thoughts: "No one wants to rob my sister with me!" ”

"Don't worry, big cousin, I arranged people to follow the team, and when the army stops and Xia Jingyan leaves the army, someone will be assassinated immediately." Gu Yun responded with a wicked smile.

"What about me?"

"Heroes save beauty!"

"It's another trick!" Zhou Ranmiao was disdainful for a while, couldn't Gu Yun think of any other tricks?

"It's a vulgar trick, but it's easy to use!" Gu Yun responded, still remembering the last time, Xia Jingyan directly knocked down Zhou Ranmao and kissed him! Not intentionally, though.

"Okay." Zhou Ranmao responded, after all, he had no concept of love, otherwise he wouldn't have to ask Gu Yun.

The soldiers and horses continued to advance, and after half a day, they stopped for a while.

As expected, Xia Jingyan really left the army for fun, and a dead soldier also responded to the situation.

I didn't even move a leaf! Even Zhou Ranmao and Gu Yun didn't realize that their dead man was coming, Xia Jingyan actually turned over and dodged at the first moment when the dead man took out his sword.

In the eyes of outsiders, this must be Xia Jingyan's "strong martial arts", to be honest, it is...... The Dead Man's sword is a little reflective......

Zhou Ranmiao immediately reacted, drew his sword and stepped forward, but his sword body ...... before it touched the dead soldier

"You dodge!" Xia Jingyan pushed Zhou Ranmiao away, and by the way, he also snatched Zhou Ranmao's sword, his leg quickly kicked back, and the dead man flew out upside down, Xia Jingyan grabbed the hilt of the sword, threw the sword out like a spear, and happened to stab the dead man's collar and nail him to the tree.

Although Xia Jingyan is the lord of Xia Wangfu, he is different from other nobles, out of interest, Xia Jingyan has practiced martial arts since childhood, and Xia Jingsheng also followed her ideas, not only invited all the masters in the capital to teach Xia Jingyan, but also deliberately made time to accompany Xia Jingyan to practice martial arts in person, so far ordinary assassins have long been unable to hurt Xia Jingyan.

Zhou Ranmao didn't have time to move! Standing in stride, he asked countless times in his heart: "Who am I?" Where am I? What am I going to do? ”

When Zhou Ranmiao reacted again, it was already time for Xia Jingyan to shoot him.

"Hey! You're alright! Scared silly? ”

"Ahh Zhou Ranmiao woke up and startled Xia Jingyan.

"Now, pay you back." Xia Jingyan held the collar of the dead soldier in his hand, and held the sword in the other hand and fought with Zhou Ranhao.

"Hmm......" Zhou Ranmiao took the sword, still in a state of panic.

Oh my God, does this Xia Jingyan still need his protection?

Xia Jingyan didn't take it seriously, and walked away with the collar of the dead soldier, not far away, Xia Jingxuan and Xia Jingchen were watching the play in place, and waved at Xia Jingyan!

"I changed my plans." Zhou Ran said to Gu Yun behind him with a blue face.

"How do you change it?" Gu Yun asked.

"It's still a hero to save beauty, and it's changed to her protecting me."

"Huh?"

Zhou Ranmiao had already collected his sword and left, leaving only Gu Yun stunned in place.

According to what they imagined, Xia Jingyan, as a high-ranking family and the county lord, must be a delicate and squeamish little girl who is knowledgeable and reasonable, but I didn't expect it......

Finally knew why Xia Jingsheng dared to let Xia Jingyan come out to fight, three moves to kill a dead soldier, this is too fierce!

The army continued to move forward, Xia Jingchen was not too lazy to discuss the war at all, and he didn't know what Xia Jingxuan was talking about.

This time the original intention was to come out to play, otherwise which royal family would invite the general and the marquis in addition to a mountain bandit! It's really a panic in the palace, just find a reason to come out and breathe.

Xia Jingxuan was just looking for fun, he was discussing the war, obviously listening to the soldiers chatting.

I heard that the leader of the mountain bandits robbed Lingyuan Villa as a stronghold, where lived a white-bearded Taoist priest who called himself an "immortal", and flickered the people under the mountain all day long to calculate and buy talismans, but it did not cause any impact, and the government did not care about him. It's kind of an interesting fact.

Walking to the vicinity of Lingyuan Villa, I know that this place is wide, there are dozens of thatched huts than when the "old fairy" was there before, and there are dozens of stacks of grain and straw, which are quite abundant, and the only strange thing is:

As a nest here, the soldiers who stayed behind to reconnoiter were only fifty on the left and right, which was not as many as the previous sneak attack!

"If you are a rough and reckless man in the mountains, you don't know how to fight at all, and you are embarrassed to be a faction of your own." Xia Jingchen was disdainful for a while.

"General, Master Hou, the minister will bring someone in and get rid of it." Zhao Jichen said.

"Not necessarily." Xia Jingchen drove his horse and took a step forward, "I can just go, just move my muscles and bones." ”

"You stay and watch Yan'er, and I'll help Jing Chen." Xia Jingxuan confessed to Zhao Jichen, and also drove his horse into the villa.

It's hard to go out of the house, you can't get nothing, right?

Two groups of people and nearly 30 people followed into the villa.

There was a bloody smell in the villa, and it must be a tear in the middle, Zhao Jichen saw Xia Jingyan covering his nose and wanted to gag, so he drove his horse to block between the villa and Xia Jingyan.

"Yan'er, why don't you go back to the camp first, I'll control the affairs of the army."

Xia Jingyan shook his head, and Zhao Jichen didn't say anything more, only blocking her from seeing blood.

Zhou Ranmiao watched the two armies fight, and suddenly remembered the past.

This is also the scene when Xia Jiajun slaughtered Yihe, no one was left, bloody rain and bloody wind, after more than ten years, the water of Yihe is still red.

Xia Jingchen was happy to kill in the battle, but gradually realized that something was wrong, he killed at least ten people, and the same was true for Xia Jingxuan, and the soldiers who accompanied him also killed dozens, but there were only fifty people in the villa, how could he kill more and more?

Looking back at Xia Jingxuan, he also looked at the mountain bandits with the same doubts, both of them thought in their hearts, and instantly realized: Yes! Hit the trick!

Just as Xia Jingchen was thinking, the underground bandits were also ready, and Qin Suan sat on the small hillside not far away, raising his eyes to look at this interesting scene.

I'm afraid Zhou Ranmiao didn't expect that the "good prime minister" Qin Suan in his court would come to brush up his sense of existence again, and he had nothing to do every day.

Qin Suan waved his hand, the so-called "mountain bandits" understood, rushing out from the surrounding thatched huts, water tanks, and even the underground, a "mountain bandit" jumped from the tree in front of Xia Jingchen, and before Xia Jingchen could react, the knife in his hand had already pierced into the neck of the war horse, the war horse fell down with a roar, and Xia Jingchen also fell.

"Jing Chen!" Xia Jingxuan, who was also aware of the plan, drove the horse to come, but unfortunately he didn't pay attention to the tripping rope in front of him, he also fell off the horse, but fortunately he reacted quickly and landed smoothly with the saddle, otherwise he would definitely die if he broke his neck.

"Brother!" Xia Jingchen didn't fall hard, he quickly stood up and screamed, Xia Jingxuan immediately understood.

The two brothers rushed together, both clasping each other's hands and leaping up to repel the rushing bandits.

"Sample, I'm pretty good at using tricks!" Xia Jingchen snorted coldly, and he and Xia Jingxuan were back to back, just waiting for the next wave of thieves to arrive, and the two of them went out behind each other's backs.

As long as the strength is top, what does it matter if there is no war horse?
