"Boss, there are footprints here!"

In the end, some bandits noticed the traces of the other side sliding downhill.

The bandit leader nodded to a few brothers, "Second brother, you take a few people to chase!" ”

Compared with the traces on the other side, the bandit leader was more interested in the hidden weapon in the woman's hand just now.

"Okay, big brother, leave it to me here, the woman on the other side has a hidden weapon in her hand, you have to be careful, don't fall for her!"

The second boss responded, and without hesitation, he beckoned a few brothers to chase him in the direction where Li Chengmu had fled just now.

At the same time, the teams that stayed in place were all doing their jobs.

The men of the house were making dry food for the team, the guards were patrolling around, and the masters of the house were resting in the carriage.

It's just that with the sound of 'bang', everyone was interrupted in an orderly and busy manner.

"What's going on?" The guard looked up in the direction where the voice came from, "Could it be that there are people in this mountain, and it seems to be the sound of a cannon battle just now." ”

The captain of the guard ordered a group of squads, "You guys go and investigate and see what's going on up there?" ”

"Chief Guard, come here." King Qian came down from the king's chauffle.

"Lord Wang."

"What's going on up there? What was the sound just now? King Qian looked at the bamboo forest above, and he remembered that Xia and Xiao Wu had gone in this direction.

"Back to the prince, it's like the sound of cannonballs, and my subordinates have already sent a team of guards to check the situation."

King Qian was a little uneasy, and couldn't help but instruct again: "That's good, the princess and Xiao Wu are going in this direction, you send another team of guards to take a look." ”

"Yes!"

At this time, no one thought that there were bandits on this mountain, because the bandits wanted to ambush them, and it was impossible to make a move to startle the snakes.

But as soon as their hearts relaxed, there were a few more 'bangs'.

The head of the guard frowned slightly, "This sound is like the sound of firecrackers, it doesn't seem right, Lord Wang, my subordinates will send another team to check on the situation."

King Qian was a little uneasy in his heart, and he was a little displeased with the guard chief's tempered temperament, "Don't send a team, send two squadrons up to find the princess and Xiao Wu." ”

Ten people in a squad, ten squads in a squadron, two squadrons are equal to two hundred guards.

The head of the guard wanted to say that there were not many guards in the camp, but when he thought that the princess and the fifth master were still on the mountain, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.

He received the order and went to arrange for the guards to go up the mountain, and deployed the guards on the spot.

Li Chengmu slid three times all the way, and the speed of going down the mountain was fast, but it was a little difficult to stabilize his body and not fall.

In the bamboo forest, the dead leaves on the ground should be slower and more slippery, and if the speed is faster, it will be more slippery.

Several guards escorted him all the way down, and Li Chengmu was very worried about Xia Jing in his heart, "I don't know what's going on with the concubine?" Don't take care of me, one of them will go and move the rescuers, and the other two will go to my mother, I'm afraid she won't be able to outrun those bandits and have an accident. ”

blame yourself for not being good at learning, and you have to burden your mother when you encounter danger!

The guilt and self-blame in Li Chengmu's heart almost overwhelmed him.

"Fifth Master, let's send you back to safety first, and then go to the princess!"

Li Chengmu was so anxious that he yelled at them: "You don't go to help the concubine, but send someone back to report the news and move the rescuers first!" ”

As soon as the words fell, his feet slipped, his body couldn't be steady, and the bamboo shoots that were originally carried on his shoulders were just used as crutches and propped up on the ground.

It's just that the bamboo shoots are new bamboo shoots that are easy to break, and the body is slightly stable, due to the excessive momentum, the bamboo shoots are broken, and Li Chengmu still did not escape the fate of falling.

"Fifth Master!"

When several guards saw Li Chengmu rolling down, they were so anxious that they ran and jumped after him.

"Fifth Master, are you alright?"

Several guards hurriedly helped Li Chengmu up.

Li Chengmu covered his back waist with his backhand, and he was just stopped by the thick bamboo at the mouth of the bowl, which happened to hit his back waist, and his waist was numb at this moment.

The guard looked at him and grinned, and asked worriedly, "Lord Wang, is your waist okay?" ”

Li Chengmu took a deep breath and waved his hand: "I didn't. Affair! Still, we seem to have something! ”

"We?"

The guards looked at him in bewilderment, and when they saw him looking ahead, they followed the line of sight and saw a few bandits chasing not far away.

The guard whispered to him, "Fifth Master, let's deal with these people, you run back to move the rescuers first." ”

"Good!" Li Chengmu didn't grind, he knew that his mother was still waiting for him to move the rescuers.

With that, he turned around and ran.

"If you want to run, you don't even ask me if I agree or not!"

A person rushed over in the bamboo forest and blocked the way.

Li Chengmu looked back at the guards, who had already fought with the bandits.

"Who the hell are you?"

"The man who builds roads and plants trees!" The second master looked up and laughed, his favorite thing was to intercept the caravan and listen to others ask him who he was.

"I drove this road, I planted this tree, have you ever heard of this?"

Li Chengmu nodded, whenever the storyteller in the Beijing teahouse talked about the robbers, it was almost this kind of opening statement.

The second master was satisfied with his performance, and said with a smile: "Since you have heard of it, then leave it to buy road money!" ”

"Money is a trivial matter, but you can't hurt people's lives!" Li Chengmu didn't have a weapon in his hand, he searched left and right, but he didn't see a weapon in his hand.

The second master beckoned to him, "Come here, boy, your uncle and I only want money, and I won't hurt your life." ”

How could Li Chengmu throw himself into the net, fly to the left, and kick off a one-person-high bamboo shoot, he picked up the bamboo shoot and slashed towards the second master.

The second master was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the kid in front of him would kick off the bamboo shoots and use the bamboo shoots to deal with him.

He dodged to avoid the attack.

If there is tofu in front of him, will he hit him with tofu?

Li Chengmu took advantage of his dodge, saw the opportunity and spread his legs and ran down the mountain.

"Little deflated three, don't run!" The second boss was attacked by him, and he was ashamed and angry, and immediately chased after him.

Originally, I wanted to see him handsome, and I wanted to give him a face and speak civilly, but I didn't expect this little deflated three to be shameless!

Li Chengmu turned around and chopped the bamboo shoots to the second master.

This time, the second master did not dodge, drew a knife to resist, and directly cut off a bamboo shoot.

Li Chengmu found that the bamboo shoot in his hand was shorter, and he was unwilling to split again, I split, I split, I split!

Look at the bamboo shoot in your hand again, only one arm length is left, and the knife edge is neat.

"Haha, Xiao Qisan, just grab it!"

Such a handsome Lang Jun should be very important at home, and catching him should be able to exchange a lot of silver.

Li Chengmu's eyes lit up, and he shouted behind the second master: "Chief of the guard, you are here!" ”

After saying that, he threw the remaining bamboo shoots towards the second master, and ran away while he was dodging.

The second master was shocked, dodged the bamboo shoots and looked behind him, it was empty, where was anyone?

was deceived again, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes, "Xiao Qisan, Lao Tzu is going to pick your skin!" ”

Li Chengmu panicked, his feet slipped, and the person rolled down the slope directly, hurriedly got up and prepared to run again, and when he saw a small team of guards running not far away, surprise burst out in his eyes, "Help!" I'm here, sir! ”

The second master stood on the slope and pointed a knife at him viciously: "Xiao Qisan, you want to deceive people again, this time Lao Tzu will not be fooled!" ”

The slope is too slippery, and I don't know how to go down for a while?

"Fifth Master, are you alright?"

The guards of the ten-person squad ran over, and the guards who ran in front reached out to help Li Chengmu stand up.

"Ugh!"

The second master didn't expect to come to the rescue, and then looked at their uniform clothing, soap boots and scimitars, frightened, unstable under their feet and slid down the slope directly.

When the guards saw that he was automatically sent to the door, they rushed to arrest him.

Li Chengmu stood up, ignoring his own situation, and shouted eagerly to the guards who captured the second master: "Don't spare his life, cut it down!" The concubine is still being hunted down by their people, we have to hurry up to save the concubine! ”

"What!"

When the guards heard this, they were horrified, and they would take advantage of the prisoner's life, and one of the guards drew his sword without hesitation and slashed down.

Blood splattered!

Heads on the ground!

At this moment, the guards who had just been entangled by several other bandits ran over, and when they saw that there were only ten people coming, they said with disgust: "Why are you only here so many people?" There are hundreds of bandits chasing and killing the princess! ”

The team leader decisively ordered a guard, "You send the fifth master back to report the news and move reinforcements, and the others will go with me to save the princess first." ”

"Yes!"

Without waiting for Li Chengmu to speak, the others chased in the direction of the gunshots.

The guards escorted Li Chengmu to walk back, and after not going far, he met another team, told them the basic situation, and pointed out the direction.

When he was about to arrive at the camp, he saw the guards of the two squadrons dispatching, and Li Chengmu's heart was relieved a little.

I prayed in my heart that the mother concubine Jiren would have God's blessing and be able to hold out until the guards arrived.

Besides, Xia Jing used the sound of gunfire to attract the bandits, led them to bypass Li Chengmu and them, and fled to the other side.

A person has no scruples, and the speed of the bandits chasing behind her can't catch up with her at all.

From time to time, she turned around and fired back a shot, which made the bandits turn around in the mountains and forests, but she couldn't touch her at all, and the bandits behind her were so angry that they screamed!

Maybe this group of bandits was unlucky, and they pursued all the way, making a lot of noise.

Unexpectedly, the team of 300 people who had gone out to explore the road had not gone far, and when they heard the sound of gunfire, they fled and came to find it.

"Princess!"

"Princess, run to us!"

Xia Jing looked up and looked forward, hey, happy!

She stood still, pointed with her little hand, and her momentum was like a rainbow: "You guys came just in time, help me destroy their bandits!" ”

The bandits hurriedly stopped, looked in horror at the hundreds of guards rushing towards them in front of them, and fled in all directions with their heads in their hands.

The guards caught up with the bandits and slashed with their swords.

Fleeing all the way, if there is anyone who the guards hate the most, it is undoubtedly bandits, because it is the bandits who have encountered the most robbers along the way.

The bandits took advantage of the fire to rob, making them suffer a lot along the way, losing a lot of materials and huge losses!

I believe that for a long time to come, they will be inseparable from the bandits!

Back to camp.

King Qian led everyone to stand at the intersection to meet them.

"Princess, are you alright?"

Xia Jing noticed the concern in King Qian's eyes, and her heart warmed slightly, "It's okay, it's just that I ran a little far, and I was covered in mud." ”

Several sons and daughters-in-law also expressed concern, and Xia Jing smiled one by one.

Aunt Sun covered her mouth in surprise, "Sister Princess, you are really fine, why are your clothes wet and messy?" ”

Xia Jing looked at her with a smile, "Don't choose the road in a panic on the mountain, you can experience it and know what's going on!" ”

There is dew among the trees on the mountain, and the branches of the trees are crossed, so that the clothes are not messy.

Aunt Sun choked, then put down her hand, and said a little embarrassed: "The concubine has been raised since she was a child, and she is not allowed to do things that violate women's morality, so sister, sister really can't be chased by a group of big men in the mountains, this thing is outrageous." ”

"Whew!" Xia Jing sneered, too lazy to argue with her.

She turned around and rubbed Li Chengmu's head, and after comforting her, she said to King Qian: "The bandits who have been captured alive are all here, you judge slowly, and this concubine will go to wash and clean up first." ”

King Qian nodded, "Go quickly, the temperature on the mountain is low, don't get cold." ”

Xia Jing returned to her carriage, and Hongmei was directing her servants to carry hot water into a tent.

Bai Mei jumped down from the carriage with her folded clothes, she saw Xia Jing, and tears welled up in her eyes with excitement, "Princess, are you back?" The slave and maid have prepared a change of clothes for you, so you hurry in and take a hot bath to be careful of catching a cold. ”

Hongmei turned her head and called out in surprise: "Princess!" ”

Xia Jing smiled at them, "I'll go wash up first, and I'll ask you if you have anything to say." ”

The clothes on her body were wet, it was really cold in the mountains, and the mountain wind was so strong that she almost swayed.

After taking a hot bath and drinking a bowl of ginger soup, my body finally warmed up.

The tent was packed up by the slaves, and Xia Jing got into the carriage and faced the red eyes of the two maids.

She chuckled, "You two got your eyes in the sand?" ”

"Princess~"

Xia Jing leaned on the couch, "Okay, I won't tease you, this concubine is really fine!" Who would have thought that we would encounter bandits in the mountains, or bandits who were preparing to deal with us, this can only be said to be lucky, and if we solve them, we can rest assured that we can pass the danger ahead. ”

Hongmei folded her hands and bowed outside, "God bless the princess with good fortune and a long life!" ”

The corners of Xia Jing's mouth curled slightly, and she pulled the brocade quilt on her lap, "The team is about to set off for the danger, you clean up, I'll lie down for a while." ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the team to move.

Successfully passed the natural insurance, and it was already dark.

Find a place to station, and after dinner in the evening, Xia Jing was invited by Anu to the king's tent.

There were many people sitting in the king's tent, except for the two gentlemen, and the son and adult grandson of King Qian came.

"The princess sits down." King Qian pointed to the position of his head.

Xia Jing walked over calmly, and as soon as she sat down, the chief of the guard entered the king's tent and handed King Qian a confession.

King Qian probably browsed it and handed it to Xia Jing, "Princess, take a look, they chased you very embarrassed today, what do you want to do with them?" ”

Xia Jing took the confession and glanced at it casually, there were no valuable clues in the entire confession, and today these bandits were used as guns.

"The main culprit is killed, and the inconsequential little ones are sent back, and they can make a contribution to our construction of Lingnan in the future."

There is a conscription in Lingnan every year, and these bandits who are guilty of crime can just serve the conscription and contribute to the construction of Lingnan.

Mr. Zhang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The princess's idea is good, they are all good labor, it's a pity to kill her!" ”

King Qian agreed: "Since everyone has no opinion, let's decide so." ”

After that, he turned to look at Xia Jing, "Princess, this king still doesn't understand a little, I hope you can solve your doubts." What's going on with that cannonball-like sound today? ”

Here it comes! Here it comes!

Xia Jing knew that they would ask this question, so how to answer them, she had already thought of what she said: "A secret weapon that Concubine Ben bought when she was in Yuzhou." ”

"What kind of secret weapon?"
