The two flag officers kept a distance of fifty paces, one after the other, galloping on the official road from Shangyang County to Sanyang County.

In order to prevent the information from being truncated by the enemy, the army generally sends people to deliver letters or send scouts, it will be a team of two, with a distance of dozens of steps between the two sides.

Sanyang City is broken, these two flag officers are back to Shangyang County to inform the military situation, let the Shangyang County Government send someone to take over as soon as possible, and now the military information has been transmitted, and they are rushing to Sanyang County at this time.

"Hum~"

"Sigh Rule~"

A tripping rope suddenly rose in front of the galloping flag officer, and the war horse was tripped directly, the flag officer was agile, pressed on the horse's back, and the moment the war horse fell to the ground, he jumped to the side, backhanded, drew his knife, and looked around vigilantly.

On both sides of the road, more than a dozen men dressed in county soldier armor suddenly appeared and surrounded him.

"Who are you waiting for! An dare to intercept the flag officer in the army!? "The flag officer was not afraid, looking at these 'county soldiers' with murderous faces.

The scouts and flag officers in the army often face all kinds of dangers, not only must they be agile, but they are usually not bad, but they are not afraid of more than a dozen men.

"My eldest brother asks you to come over and ask a question, put down your weapon, and come with me." A burly man stepped forward to disarm.

"Presumptuous!" The flag officer let out a deep sigh and swung his knife at the man.

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!" Seeing this, the man sneered, leaned to the side, let go of the blade from the other party, grabbed the back of the knife and dragged it to his side.

The flag officer only felt that the other party was strong, and the hand holding the knife had a faint feeling of being pricked by a needle, which was internal breath!

His complexion couldn't help but change, and he wanted to withdraw the knife, but his neck had been choked by the other party, and the huge force surged, and after his body was in the air, he was thrown to the ground by the other party, and the flag officer suddenly felt that his body seemed to be cracking, and his brain was empty, and he couldn't slow down for a long time.

"Take it away!"

The man waved his hand, and someone stepped forward to suppress the flag officer, and walked towards the dense forest next to the official road.

On the way, the flag officer saw his companion being escorted over with a pale face, and his heart sank slightly, the other party was not only strong, but also obviously very familiar with the habits of the army, and had made arrangements for ambushing two flag officers at the same time.

The two flag officers were soon escorted deep into the forest, where they saw a young man in the armor of a county lieutenant examining the two of them.

"Who is Your Excellency? Do you know what the culpability is for intercepting us? The flag officer looked at the young man in front of him with a calm face.

"I, Lu Xuan, according to the imperial court, should be a thief." Lu Xuan swept over the faces of the two flag officers and replied casually, "What are you talking about?" ”

Anti-thief, that's fine!

The two flag officers were speechless, no matter how big the guilt was, they couldn't catch up with the anti-thief.

"Bring it!" Lu Xuan stretched out his hand, and one of his subordinates handed over two ingots of gold.

"As for me, I am a reasonable person, I have some small questions to ask the two, rest assured, as long as the two answer clearly, not only will I not hurt the lives of the two, but each of them will send a gold ingot as a thank-you gift, I don't know what the two flag officials want?"

The two flag officers glanced at each other, and then said very simply: "Your Excellency, may I ask." ”

It's not that I'm really fascinated by the property, but in the current situation, try to save my life first, and then find a way to send the news back.

Lu Xuan was slightly surprised, but then he reacted, nodded and said, "Yes, take this and leave first." ”

At that moment, someone brought a flag officer to the distance, and Lu Xuan looked at the remaining one and said, "The same question, I will ask him again in a while, if something goes wrong, neither of you will have to live." ”

The flag officer's face was a little gloomy, and they had seen thieves, but few of them were as deceitful as the person in front of them.

This level is not easy.

"What are you doing in Shangyang City?" Lu Xuan didn't care what the other party thought, and asked out loud.

The flag officer hesitated for a moment and said, "Sanyang City is broken, I will come and inform Lord Taishou." ”

Lu Xuan nodded: "How many defenders are there in Shangyang County now?" ”

The flag officer was silent when he heard this.

"Hard to answer?" Lu Xuan looked at the flag officer and asked with a smile.

"Shangyang County is the county seat, there are 3,000 soldiers and horses stationed in it, this time to conquer Sanyang County, Taishou sent 2,000 soldiers and horses to accompany the county lieutenant, at this time Shangyang County should have 1,000 soldiers and horses." The flag officer said uncertainly.

He was a flag officer in the army, and he didn't know much about the deployment of troops in Shangyang County.

"If there are soldiers and horses entering the city at this time, what will the defenders ask?" Lu Xuan asked again.

The flag officer looked at the military uniforms on Lu Xuan and the others and was silent.

"Seeing that you are not young, but you don't have any martial arts cultivation on your body, it shouldn't be a good background, there is a high probability that you will reach your age or be seriously injured and be sent home in this life, and you can only make money on your own for the rest of your life, there should still be someone in the family, right? You said that if you die here, your parents have no one to support, your wife goes to someone else's bed, and if you have children, it may be even more miserable, maybe someone else is holding your wife, living in your house and beating your children, tsk~" Lu Xuan looked at him with some pity: "Isn't the most important thing in life a person is not his family?" ”

"Your Excellency will really let me go?" The flag officer was a little tight-chested, although he knew that the other party was cheating himself, but this kind of thing could really happen.

"Why not?" Lu Xuan stuffed a gold ingot in his hand into the other party's hand and said: "Anti-thieves are also forced to be anti-thieves, but anti-thieves are also about credibility, this money, even if you don't become a soldier in the future, you can live a more nourishing life when you go home, isn't it?" ”

"If you want to enter the city, you will check the military order, and today's military order is filial piety!" The flag officer said in a deep voice.

"What masters are there in Shangyang County now?"

"The county lieutenant has left, there should be three more innate masters, and Lord Taishou doesn't know what kind of strength it is."

"What's Taishou's name?"

"Zhou Ji."

After Lu Xuan asked a few more questions, he asked the flag officer to take him away, and then summoned another flag officer, and asked the same question again, and after making sure that it was correct, he let the two go.

The two flag officers didn't expect Lu Xuan to really keep his word, although he left the horse behind, but in this case, it was a blessing to be able to survive, and they left silently with the gold at the moment.

"Big brother, really let them go? These two people will definitely inform Sanyang County when they go back. Looking at the backs of the two, one of the henchmen frowned.

"What I want is for them to tell me about this, no matter how fast they run, they will have to run for more than 100 miles for two days." Lu Xuan turned over and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to Shangyang County tonight, this county is prosperous, Lao Tzu hasn't seen it yet, I will take you to a long time today!" ”

A group of rebels responded to the order, and under the leadership of Lu Xuan, they lined up neatly, carrying a coffin, and went in the direction of Shangyang County with a big grin.
