"Phew!"

Approaching the other party a hundred paces, Ning He stopped his mount, and the horse's head was raised high and neighed.

The first rider on the other side was about to set up an arrow to warn him, and he stopped the comer, when he saw himself stop, put away his bow and arrows, and struck his horse near.

"Ying'an County Wei Ninghe, I've seen the Wei School."

Ning He took a look, and the person who came was wearing a lieutenant's armor, hugged his fists and greeted him first, and reported to his home.

"Captain of the Yongwang Mansion's personal guard, Liao Chang." The lieutenant also returned the salute and gave his name.

"We are on the orders of King Hexiao to pursue and suppress the bandits, and ask the county lieutenant Ning to give way."

Liao Chang looks like a tough military man, and his speech and demeanor are quite cold and hard.

Ning He nodded, but he was used to the other party's behavior, and raised his hand behind him sideways, and said, "If it's just those twenty people who have been captured by my brother, Liao Wei School might as well take a look at it to see if it's true." ”

"Thank you." Liao Chang clenched his fists again and stretched out his hand to stop the army.

He followed Ning He to Cheng Chen's side and the three of them, looked left and right, nodded at Ning He, didn't say a word of nonsense, one by one, and made up for the more than 20 guys who were injured or killed, and cut them all over.

Cheng Chen and Ke Han's eyelids jumped straight when they saw it, and secretly said "kill the embryo".

"I heard my general say that the name of the lieutenant of Ning County has been mentioned earlier, and the responsibilities here are in my body, so I will not say more. In the next day, I will ask the county lieutenant Ning for advice or two, and we will learn from each other. ”

Liao often wiped the knife back into the sheath, but said to Ning He like this.

He is not very old, he looks like twenty-two or three, he always listens to their generals all the way, and he is like a broken mouth, muttering that a person is interesting and powerful, but unfortunately he is not a person under his command, and he has long been unconvinced.

It's not enough to be hateful, but the desire to compete and compete is extremely strong.

Now that I see a real person, I don't hide it anymore.

Ning He touched his nose, he didn't remember that he knew General Yongwang's Mansion, and he didn't know where he started saying this.

But he still returned the courtesy: "Okay." If you have the opportunity, you will definitely learn from the school. ”

Liao Changle smiled more ugly than crying, nodded to a few people, said goodbye and turned around, and led the team away.

It's in a hurry, it's a hurry, there's no head or tail, so I scratch my head, I always feel that the shortcomings mean something, and my heart is itching.

Then he spread his hands and muttered, "What's the matter?" ”

Ning He chuckled, looked at the costumes and weapons of the more than 20 people, and said, "I'm afraid it's not the same as those in the inn, but the Yongwang Mansion is moving fast." ”

Now that the appearance of these people has made him attack the inn and kill him, it is the 'horse bandits' who have been robbed to congratulate him, and they are more biased.

I thought that the Yongwang Mansion had found the nest first and took it out.

"That's really fast, we didn't hear that Yongwangfu sent troops out before we came out, and now they all ran ahead of us."

Saying that, Cheng Chen said again: "Fortunately, they ran forward, if we really let us meet more head-on, it's really not easy to deal with, these guys really have two hits." ”

After a fight, Cheng Chen also knew the other party's catties.

Not to mention anything else, in terms of realm alone, the three people who fought with him at least have the strength to approach the river car realm, and they may even be new to the river car realm.

Ke Han also nodded dejectedly.

The person who fought him at the beginning was actually equal in strength to him, his internal strength was stronger, and the other party was more experienced.

It's just that the exercises and moves that the other party has learned are not exquisite, and there are more flaws than him, so he was lucky enough to take advantage of it.

And this is not an exception, it is that those people almost have this level of strength, Cheng Chen and Hongtu Ling'an came later, and those lying on the ground are more than eighty percent of him.

Hongtu Ling'an didn't say anything, walked to the side, picked up a long knife and looked at it, and handed it to Ning He, "It is a small branch of the Lingbei swordsman of the original Xidu, after Wu Yuan established the country, he failed to occupy a place in the army, and only became a border county lord, but he also has some names." ”

Ning He took the knife and looked at it, and found that there was a word 'Zhuo' on the body of the knife.

The five countries of the Western Dynasties implemented a two-level system of counties and counties, but the chief officials were hereditary, and there were no county orders and county guards, but large and small city lords.

Therefore, a city lord, even if it is a county seat, is not synonymous with shabby.

In today's situation, it can only be said that Wu Yuan has been chaotic to a certain extent, and the original class and status have all been shattered.

Otherwise, no matter how bad it is, it seems that this Zhuo family and the previous brother Shuwu will not be reduced to the level of being bandits.

Look at the Hongtu Ling'an sisters again, but the situation is even more miserable.

As soon as he thought of this, Ning He said to Hongtu Ling'an: "After returning to Ying'an, help me inquire and collect the current situation of Wuyuan and the other four countries, and after a while, we may go there." ”

Hongtu Ling'an's body trembled and nodded fiercely.

"Bury it." Ning He turned to Cheng Chen and Ke Han, tilted his head, and motioned for them to join hands.

Together, the three of them cleaned up the scene, and did not let the corpses be thrown into the wilderness, lest they end up being eaten by wild beasts again.

Immediately, there was no desire to continue eating, and the group headed south again.

But I walked for a long time, and when it was getting dark, I didn't find the inn again.

If you stay out overnight in this place, you basically don't want to sleep, it's too dangerous.

Ning He had no choice but to take a few people, make a little money, live in the official post together, and let them clean a small courtyard.

Otherwise, the environment of the official post is torturous enough.

It's just that before he could sleep, Liao Chang unexpectedly came to the door, saying that King Hexiao was invited.

Ning He himself followed him suspiciously.

Li Zai, the king of Hexiao, did not live in the official post, but camped on the side of the road about ten miles south of the official post.

The camp fence is outside, there are tall tower sentry posts standing on all sides, four teams of people inside and outside take turns to patrol, and the password is required to enter the camp, everything is as if the army is marching outside, without the slightest slackness.

After Liao Chang introduced Ning He into the camp, he came to the camp tent in the middle of a two-zhang Xu Jianyuan, and a half-zhang high, Li Zai, the king of Hexiao, and the heroic generals who were about thirty years old, looked at him with interest and looked at him.

"Ning He greets the prince."

"I've seen the general."

Ning He was stared at by the two of them, and first saluted Li Zaishen, and then turned to the heroic general, who also saluted.

The heroic general smiled and said, "Captain Ning, let's meet again, but you are not as chic and crazy as last time." ”

"Ugh." Ning He looked over speechlessly, his face full of question marks.

When, where, and how did they meet?

Seeing this, the heroic general said: "On the twenty-ninth of last month, at the mouth of Lotus Lane, I was listening to the top of the Cloud Tower. ”

Ning He let out an "oh", and then glanced at him suspiciously, he felt that someone was peeping at the time, and he had bad intentions, it couldn't be this person, right?

"You all sit."

At this time, Li Zai spoke, stretched out his hand and raised his hand to make a gesture, so that Ning He and Liao Chang could sit down.

The two thanked and sat down, and Ning He also looked at Li Zai.

Then I felt that he had a sense of déjà vu.

Suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he slipped back to Beining City from the temple, and bumped into King Ning once when he went out to listen to music, and his appearance was six points similar to Li Zai in front of him, both of them were phoenix eyes and high nose, sword eyebrows and broad forehead, and they looked very majestic and very handsome.

Looking at the heroic general again, there seems to be a trace of similarity between his eyebrows and eyes, and he is quite surprised.

"My name is Ziyu, the word Qiying, born in Beining City, you and I are fellow villagers, but I have been brought up by my aunt and princess since I was a child, and I have not lived in Beining for a long time."

The heroic general Ziyu looked at him and said with a smile.

Looking for Ning He to come here today, he also suggested to King Hexiao.

Next, he also said directly: "I invite you to come over today, and I also recommend it to the prince, and I want to ask you to go with me, add as a guard, and go to Lingnan Pass together." ”

Without waiting for Ning He's response, he said again: "You have seen it today, but you shouldn't know that those bandits are not our intention to clean them up, but to come to rob and kill again, and want to prevent the prince from welcoming back his nephew, which is extremely wild!" I only brought 300 guards on this trip, although few were killed, but there were many wounded soldiers, with such weather, the injuries are difficult to heal, and when I meet the city again, I must stay to treat the wounds, so as not to be contaminated with evil diseases. But as a result, the number of accompanying guards has been sharply reduced, and if there is any further interception, I am afraid that it will be in case. ”

After that, he looked directly at Ning He.

Not to mention more, this product is a hundred, and it is a wolf riding scout, one of the best.

If Ning He agrees to come down, with him opening the way in front and controlling the Chinese army by himself, this trip will definitely be a lot easier.

Ning He smiled bitterly, got up and replied: "The general is raised, and he doesn't dare to refuse." But the military department ordered me to join Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites and then go to Lingnan Pass. Now, I can't even find anyone, and I want to leave, but I have no choice. ”

"It's okay to do this, this king asked people to leave letters in various cities, and if people from the Ministry of Rites come, let them go to Lingnanguan from themselves, and it is the same to meet at Lingnanguan, and no one will be able to trouble you with this."

Lee said.

Although he is only a county king, and King Yong's pulse is not good, he is not completely incompetent, and he can still handle this little thing on the surface.

Ning He paused for a moment and responded politely.

"Haha." Zi Yulang laughed, walked over and patted Ning He on the shoulder, "I know that you still have some friends and daughters with you, but let them follow the team, it is also convenient to take care of them, our camp tent is more comfortable than the official post to live." ”

As he spoke, Ziyu pointed to the big ice cube placed in the furnace in the tent.

This is not the exclusive property of King Hexiao and him, but will be distributed to the tents of each team of soldiers every night.

Moreover, the marching tents they used, although they were not as good as Li in this, were also wide, and they were all newly prepared before entering the grassland, with a board inside, which could be taken down during the day, and a high bed at night.

Put ice cubes in the tent, and the cool air can circulate under the board, but it is very comfortable, so that you will not be unable to sleep in the heat and have a bad rest.

Ning He chuckled, "Thank you for your leniency."

In fact, his biggest hesitation was that he felt that this road was more difficult than expected, and it was not much smoother, for fear that he would leave the Yinnu too far behind, and he would not be able to take care of them in case.

What has been said before is just rhetoric.

Now that Ziyu has thought of it, it doesn't matter if he takes this trip by the way.

Ziyu smiled, "There's nothing lenient or unforgiving, it's just that the prince and I think you deserve it." Moreover, looking for you, the burden is not light, and this first matter of opening the way will be handed over to you. ”

"Lord, general, I don't accept it."

At this moment, Liao Chang stiffened his neck, stood up sullenly, and bowed to the two of them.

He didn't know what it meant.

Otherwise, he would rather be beaten with a stick than ask for someone.

In the previous line, he led people to open the way as scouts.

Now find an outsider, what's the matter? Do you dislike your own people, or do you look down on him and his brothers?

Ziyu glared at him, wanting to curse.

"You are a mallet, what happened today, don't you remember it at all? There are only a few Neiyu martial artists here today, and your scout team has been injured fifty percent. Tomorrow is really a Taoyan, you can't run away! ”

Ning He listened to his straightforward and unabashed words, and his eyes were about to fly out.

Ya doesn't treat him as a human being at all.

There are only a few Neiyu people here, and there is also a Dao Yan one, he is just a god realm, okay?

If you really meet him, you will definitely be able to run away, right?

"What, I regret it now, it's too late."
