He Lou Pengfei was deeply puzzled after hearing this, and he asked: "Let's pass like this, won't we hit a stone with an egg?"

Wu Nai shook his finger and said, "No, no, Master Ma, you think about Xiguan's affairs too simply." ”

He Lou Pengfei was asking, "How can you see it?"

Wu Nai replied: "I want to ask Master Ma, why do you think that the trip to Xiguan is to hit a stone with an egg?"

He Lou Pengfei was stunned for a moment, and then returned: "Isn't this obvious? This Ding Xiuran has sent troops to rob and kill us halfway, if we go to Xiguan at this time, won't we send our heads to his knife? And you just said that this guy is ready to rebel, what is the difference between us going over like this and looking for death?"

Wu Nai smiled, and then said: "Master Horse, it's true that he sent someone to rob and kill us, but this also shows that he can't make waves at least during this time." On the other hand, if he is not afraid that we will go to Xiguan, why should he send people to rob and kill us?"

He Lou Pengfei blinked his eyes after hearing this, and Liu Baoshuang also heard it, and then hurriedly asked, "What do you want to say?"

Wu Nai raised three fingers: "I want to say why we should go to Luoxian City, it's still three o'clock." ”

"First, although Ding Xiuran is now the history of the Xiguan Assassin, although he has the right to speak in military affairs, he does not have the right to command and transfer. If he had that right, the number of people sent to kill us today would not be twenty. On the other hand, the guard general Zhao Xing may not know what conspiracy he has, but he is definitely not his person. ”

He Lou Pengfei nodded after listening, and then asked, "What about the second point?"

Wu Nai replied: "Second, Ding Xiuran wants to take the risk of robbing and killing us, which means that this period of time is not long or short, and as long as he survives this time, he will be done." On the other hand, if we arrive in Luoxian City during this time, Ding Xiuran will be greatly hindered because of us. We don't know why, but that's for sure. ”

Liu Baoshuang said: "So instead of running, we should go." ”

Wu Nai smiled and nodded, and then continued: "Third, since Ding Xiuran chose to rob and kill, it also shows that he is afraid that we will arrive in Luoxian City, and since he is afraid, then there is a reason to be afraid." This proves once again that Zhao Xing and him are by no means colluded, as I just said, if Zhao Xing and him were the same dog, he would not have sent such a few people today, and why bother to put on makeup?"

Seeing Liu Baoshuang and He Lou Pengfei staring at him with wide eyes, Wu Nai had to sigh and say: "To put it simply, Ding Xiuran wants to rebel, but he doesn't actually control the military power. And now Zhao Xing didn't know his intentions, so in order not to reveal the matter, he asked a few people in the army who had been dragged into the water by him to sneak attack us, so as not to meet with Zhao Xing. ”

"Oh......" He Lou Pengfei nodded after hearing this, and then said: "So, as long as there is Zhao Xing in Luoxian City, he Ding Xiuran will have to obediently be our grandson?"

Wu Nai nodded: "Yes, but we can't act rashly, from this moment on, we should just meet ordinary horse thieves." Remember, from now on, we have to take care of it, but this Lord Ding has played a good house. ”

He Lou Pengfei returned: "Then why don't we go into the city and let Zhao Xing handle him?"

Wu Nai shrugged his shoulders: "I also want to, this will save trouble." No, we have to figure out how deep the water is in Xiguan. If we don't find out what is going on behind it, we will leave a huge hidden danger to the imperial court. ”

After speaking, I saw Wu Nai looking down and thinking with a distressed face, and muttered to himself: "Secretly, robbing and killing in disguise, is it Ding Xiuran's selfish desires? Or is it the operation behind the back of the six wealthy families? Or is it the trick of Di Nu? or is it something else? Alas...... All of this is related to asking for help outside the border, and the more I think about it, the more chaotic it becomes...... Troublesome...... What a hassle......

Wu Nai raised his head after speaking, and saw Liu Baoshuang and He Lou Pengfei waiting for him without saying a word, Wu Nai patted his head and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm thinking about myself again." In short, let's go to Luoxian City first, the night is long and dreamy, everyone will work hard tonight, we will rush overnight, and strive to arrive in Luoxian City early tomorrow morning. ”

Liu Baoshuang asked: "Didn't you go to the post station to change horses?"

Wu Nai shook his head: "If I was not wrong in my inference just now, there are Ding Xiuran's minions in several post stations in Xiguan, you think about it, otherwise how would they know that we can get here today? Don't worry, we've been here for a while, and the horses should have recovered some strength, which should be enough for us to get to Luoxian City. ”

He Lou Pengfei said with a smile: "Good boy, I'll just say why Xiangye specially reminded me that I have to listen to your kid's arrangement." Okay, you really have some means, no problem!

Wu Nai was suddenly praised by He Lou, but he touched his nose a little embarrassed, and then turned to Liu Bullying and said: "Bullying Shuang, call Xiaobai who is watching and tell him that we will travel overnight, and we will not go to the post station to stay." ”

Liu Baoshuang nodded obediently, and then rode to the top of the hillside to recall Bai Yu.

Under the moonlight, the four of them rode their horses and galloped all the way, rushing towards their destination, Luoxian City, overnight.

On the 26th day of June in the fourth year of Xingde, it was close to sunrise at this moment, and in the courtyard of the suburban post station outside the city, a sharp-beaked monkey with an ugly face was pacing around, stopping from time to time to look at the valley in the distance. This person was Ouyang Kai, the captain of the border military academy, who was sweating hot because of anxiety, and was holding the helmet he had just taken off in his hand.

Finally, with a little joy on his face, a man in black on a horse was approaching him in the distance.

The man in black dismounted as soon as he arrived, and galloped all the way to him, only to hear the man in black shouting, "Boss, they!"

"What's wrong with them!?

"They...... All dead......"

"Nonsense! Who are they, are you talking about? are our people or are they the imperial history?"

"We ...... It's our people...... All dead......"

Ouyang Kai was dumbfounded after hearing this, he actually probably guessed the result, more than 20 people did not return overnight, except for being cleaned up by others, he really couldn't find any other reason why they didn't come back.

Ouyang Kai was so angry that he slammed his helmet on the ground and scolded angrily: "Waste!

The man in black was startled, and then asked, "Boss...... Now, what now?"

Ouyang Kai sighed heavily and then picked up the helmet again, and then said, "What should I do? How do I know what to do? Tell him Ding Xiuran to do it himself!"

Then, Ouyang Kai pointed to the clothes of the man in black and said, "Hurry up and peel off this skin for me, and then you go in and call the brothers who are in ambush in the post station, and tell them to also change back into military uniforms, hurry up!"

"Okay, boss, what are we going to do after changing into uniforms?"

"Nonsense! Hurry back to the city, otherwise? They didn't come to the post station, and they will definitely go straight to Luoxian City! If I don't go back quickly, I'm afraid that Zhao Xing will find out, so don't talk nonsense! After a while, you can send a few people to the valley to dispose of the corpses, and then come back quickly! Give me some profit!"

After that, Ouyang Kai looked in the direction of Luoxian City and sighed: "Alas...... How can these officials and old men kill more than 20 of my border soldiers in four people? My carefully selected brothers can fight a few of them, hell am!"
