"How far are the enemy forces from here?" Liang Xiao immediately got out of the car to inquire about the situation.

Mu Qinxue, who was "teasing" Gongsun Yue, was also taken aback, let go of her hand, and got out of the car.

Gongsun Yue, who looked dazed, also followed.

"Less than six miles, in the northwest!" Xuan Wei replied.

Liang Xiao immediately put on an iron helmet, lifted an iron gun, rode on a Honghu BMW armed to the teeth, climbed to a high place, observed the northwest, and was surprised in his heart.

There are often officers and soldiers patrolling the area along the official road, and there are only three possibilities for someone to bypass the sight of the officers and soldiers.

Either someone collaborates with the enemy, or the leader is a good commander and is quite familiar with the area, or both.

Fortunately, he had already considered this worst-case scenario, and sent ten Xuan guards and cavalry guards in advance to open the way for sentry everywhere.

The cavalry can be harassed by cavalry, even if there are fifty guards and more than two hundred guards in his team, it is also a passive defense, if it is not detected in time, the convoy will inevitably suffer casualties in the face of the attack of the enemy cavalry.

But what really made him curious was why this cavalry south of Youzhou could be born under the noses of the defenders of the northern border.

It is said that the number of their cavalry is more than 1,000, and counting the spare war horses, it means that they need at least 2,000 war horses, and the whole army needs tens of thousands of infantry-level logistics!

The convoy slowed its pace, and a row of light wooden shields was erected around it.

The Xuan Guard and the cavalry guards were scattered all around, ready for battle.

Gongsun Yue looked at Liang Xiao who was climbing high and looking into the distance, and was a little distracted for a while.

She found that she was angry and came to Lanling, and now it seems to be dragging Liang Xiao down.

Liang Xiao's calmness just now made her seem to see her grandfather's shadow.

A moment later, Liang Xiao saw a Xuanwei in the distance rushing back on horseback, and a cavalry squad was chasing after him.

"Master Hou! We found that the northern Hebei rangers were approaching, and there were hundreds of horses! ”

The Xuanwei immediately returned to the team and reported the situation.

"How could the rangers from northern Hebei come here?!"

Everyone looked at each other.

Liang Xiao asked, "The enemy army has no other reinforcements?" ”

"I haven't found it yet!" Xuan Wei replied.

"Wait here to garrison, I'll come when I go!" Liang Xiao's eyes lit up, he jumped on his horse, walked down the high ground, and went straight to the distance for a hundred horses.

"Don't!"

Mu Qinxue and Gongsun Yue screamed almost at the same time, their faces full of worry.

How could Liang Xiao have gone away.

Mu Qinxue immediately picked up the iron gun on the carriage and called the guards behind her: "Prepare the horse!" ”

The male and female guards dissuaded one after another: "Miss, the Northern Hebei Ranger is a regular army, you can't take risks!" ”

Seeing this, the Xuanwei hurriedly got on their horses and said, "I'll go out with the Hou Ye, and you guys will guard the convoy!" ”

Mu Qinxue breathed a sigh of relief, dismounted in a huff, and had no intention of arguing with Gongsun Yue.

Gongsun Yue saw it in her eyes, and inexplicably felt a sense of frustration.

She can only do swordsmanship, and this man's wife is obviously extraordinary in martial arts, and her weapons are also very comprehensive.

At the same time, Long Wushuang led a hundred horsemen to keep approaching, and when he saw a man and a horse rushing here from a distance, he suddenly felt bored.

"Young marshal, there is a person three miles away who is killing our army, and he is drawing his bow immediately!"

Long Wushuang's eyes were cold: "Single-handed? Dare to look at me, no one cares about the north of Hebei! Against! ”

Hundreds of cavalry were about to attack, and a scout suddenly came from the rear: "Young marshal!" There is a black-armored cavalry approaching here, numbering more than five hundred!! ”

"Where did these five hundred Xuanwei come from?" Hundreds of cavalry were all surprised.

Thousands of their soldiers were divided into ten routes, and they finally managed to get into this place, and there were still so many Xuanwei Yellow Sparrows behind!

Long Wushuang was also taken aback, and immediately decided: "Retreat to the northwest immediately!" ”

Hundreds of people turned their horses and left, without looking back, and rushed into the mountain and forest paths.

Liang Xiao arrived at the scene, looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, and was puzzled, when he heard the neighing of war horses in the distance, he turned back vigilantly, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It was five hundred black-armored guards on horseback.

"We are entrusted by the prime minister to escort the convoy of the Marquis of Lanling!"

After the five hundred Xuanwei and the convoy rendezvous, everyone felt a sense of security.

Mu Qinxue took the opportunity to throw herself into Liang Xiao's arms, vaguely crying: "I'm scared to death, don't ...... like this in the future"

Liang Xiao smiled: "It's not a matter of worrying about just a hundred horses, no matter what, you can't let them get close to the convoy." ”

Gongsun Yue looked at the two close people, and felt even more lost.

She could see that Liang Xiao was full of confidence in herself.

Replaced by her eldest brother, in the face of this situation, she must be in a formation defense, how can she take the initiative to attack casually.

"Brother Liang Xiao can't risk himself in the future......"

In order not to lose to Mu Qinxue, Gongsun Yue still mustered up her courage and hugged Liang Xiao's arm in the past.

The guards of the Gongsun family looked at each other.

Is this really their unattainable third lady?

Liang Xiao just smiled and agreed, and didn't say anything more.

The convoy set off again, and Gongsun Yue didn't dare to ride in the carriage with Liang Xiao and Mu Qinxue.

Long Wushuang led the troops back to the mountains and forests, and after meeting with another team, he looked puzzled: "Where did these five hundred Xuanwei come from, rushing along the official road...... In any case, this time it is only to blame for the lack of intelligence of those families, and our army has done its best. Gather all the brothers and withdraw to the headquarters! ”

Due to the might of the Xuanwei cavalry, the northern Hebei rangers were forced to withdraw their troops.

After Liang Xiao's convoy went to a nearby town to rest, he also received the news that Tuoba had been punished.

In another courtyard of the inn, Gongsun Yue also received all the news and was shocked: "What? It was made by Yanyun Eighteen Riders......"

At the beginning, Mu Lingxiao and Zhuo Mingfeng visited Yanyun Haojie together, indicating their intention to solicit, but Yanyun Haojie refused.

How long has it been since they took refuge in Liang Xiao now, and they have made such a great achievement?

Moreover, the Tuoba clan had to hand over four million taels of silver to fill the treasury.

None of this is a good thing for the Gongsun family.

Once the Great Zhou court overcomes the difficulties, the reduction of the status of the Bashu Gongsun family is just a trivial matter, maybe the court will free up its hands and subdue the Gongsun family!

At that time, if the Guanlong nobles can't clearly agree with Bashu, or even return to the imperial court, the situation of the Gongsun family will be even more difficult, and the sword clan will not be able to help.

And Da Chu's side, because of the relationship between customized newspapers and cheap books, will definitely fully support the reconciliation between the two countries, and it is impossible to go north easily.

"It's all because of this animal!"

Gongsun Yue sat in the courtyard and muttered to herself, not feeling good in her heart.

She should have hated Liang Xiao, but for some reason, she couldn't hate it......

For the sake of her little sister, she seems to have a good relationship with him on behalf of the Gongsun family, but in fact, the Gongsun family has also benefited a lot.

Sugar, liquor, newspapers...... Even the official salt was mostly thanks to him, so he was approved by the empress.

Except for her own grievances, the Gongsun family is simply guaranteed to make money and not lose money......

The convoy simply rested for a day and set off immediately.

Xuan Wei also rushed back to the capital to report the situation.

In the imperial study, the empress sisters and Zhuge Hui, Yang Ling and other ministers were all overjoyed when they learned that a large iron mine had been discovered in Lanling.

"Your Majesty, how do you feel that the Marquis of Lanling applied to the Ministry of Industry to send someone to explore iron ore a month in advance, just like an unknown prophet, knowing that there will be high-quality large-scale iron ore in the Lanling area?" Yang Ling said curiously.

"It shows that he knows astronomy and geography~" Duan Yun's sleeves and eyebrows danced.

"Why is the prime minister displeased?" Duan Yunyi looked at Zhuge Hui suspiciously.
