In the early morning, the official road is sparsely populated, the air is fresh, and many farmers are toiling in the fields in the distance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Bufan rode a horse and stood on the turquoise hill, with a sword at his waist and a bow and arrows on his back, his face was very calm. Oriyuezhi next to her also resumed her women's dress, wearing a strong suit wrapped in a concave and convex figure, and the combination of blue and white made her a little less heroic and a little more feminine.

"Brother Fanfan, why didn't you look for Li Ying this time, it stands to reason that his ability is probably stronger!"

"He is really capable, but now he won't go with me, he is not as young as Zhulong, his heart is relatively much more complicated, and when Zhujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang sell land and property, he will soon become the biggest beneficiary, at this time he will follow me in the risk and sit on the benefits, so there is almost no possibility of following me, and more importantly, I can't figure out this person now, I dare not use it!"

Zhao Bufan is also telling the truth, he has not considered Li Ying from the beginning, maybe he is indeed a talent, or a mature talent, but because he is mature enough, so in the absence of absolute certainty, Zhao Bufan does not dare to use it indiscriminately, now it is at the beginning of the rise, the situation is more complicated, and it is better to use people simply.

Zhi Yuezhi didn't understand this kind of conspiracy too well, and nodded as if she didn't understand: "Could it be that this is what the eldest brother said about employing people at different times?"

"Probably!" Zhao Bufan said casually, without much explanation.

Soon, the six figures gradually appeared in the distance, they were riding war horses, wearing armor, and they really looked like generals who were about to go into battle to kill the enemy.

Seeing the three brothers of the Zhu family and Luan Tingyu, Zhao Bufan finally smiled and quietly watched them come closer.

"Report to the general! Zhu Long (Zhu Hu, Zhu Biao) came to report!" The three brothers of the Zhu family should not give in, and they dismounted first and saluted.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Cheng stepped out more and more: "Hu Cheng came to report!"

"Luan Tingyu is here to report!" The last one to get off the horse was Luan Tingyu, who was older and didn't steal the limelight from young people. Hu Sanniang didn't say anything, just stood by with a smile and watched.

"Okay!" Zhao Bufan happily jumped off the horse and helped them up one by one. "From now on, you are the people of the Bazhou Liutun Forbidden Army, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and we will also be brothers who fight side by side, I hope that you can also treat each other with courage and support each other in the face of death in the future. We are on the battlefield, that is, we have given our lives to our brothers around us, and I hope you will not forget!"

"Remember the general's teachings!" The five of them had loud voices, and their spirits seemed particularly invigorating, and even Zhu Biao had gotten rid of the decadence.

"Okay!" Zhao Bufan nodded with a smile: "Then I will give you the first order now, Zhu Biao, Hu Cheng!"

"In!" the two stepped forward.

"I order you to hold my letter, cooperate with Jiao Ting to go north quickly, go to the North Wolf Village to find Lin Chong, Hu Cheng temporarily go to Yantou Village to take over the post of deputy governor, and assist Lu Zhishen to guard Yantou Village. Zhu Biao temporarily serves as the deputy commander of the Golden Gun Battalion to assist Xu Ning in strengthening the combat strength of the Golden Gun Battalion as soon as possible, this is an army that will soon fight a tough battle, if Zhu Biao is not ready, you can apply to me for transfer in the future!"

Zhu Biao's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Is the Golden Gun Battalion really going to fight soon?"

Zhao Bufan smiled and nodded: "Yes! Although there are only five hundred of them, all of them used to be Ban Zhi who guarded the palace, all of them were carefully selected, and their martial arts were outstanding, not to mention the future, even now, if all the people in Zhujiazhuang are together, it is not enough for these five hundred people to rush back and forth!"

"Is it really so powerful? Our Zhuang Ding of Zhujiazhuang is better trained than the local officers and soldiers!" Zhu Biao was arrogant and looked a little unconvinced.

Zhao Bufan smiled faintly: "You will know when you go, our soldiers who fought against the enemy in the border pass of the Great Song Dynasty cannot be confused with the officers and soldiers you see on weekdays, as long as you work hard, you can win all the honors you want, but you also have to remember that the army has military rules, no one can violate them, and there is no mercy to talk about." ”

"Don't worry, general, subordinates understand!" Zhu Biao responded with his fists clenched, obviously riveting, he was most eager to prove himself now.

Zhao Bufan's arrangement of Zhu Biao under Xu Ning was also well thought out, Xu Ning is a human duty, proficient in the orthodox battle formation against the enemy, diligent in work, strict in governing the army, the most suitable for polishing and influencing Zhu Biao, can let Zhu Biao complete the transformation from a young son to a soldier as soon as possible.

"Luan Tingyu, Zhu Hu!"

"Yes!" the two stepped forward.

"The two of you will follow me back to Beijing first, and when you return to Northern Xinjiang in the future, I will personally arrange it for you!"

"Yes!"

"Zhulong, you stay for the time being!"

"Stay?" Zhu Long was stunned, a little anxious. "General Zhao, I want to ......"

Zhao Bufan stretched out his hand to interrupt: "Zhu Long, your personality is calmer than Zhu Hu and Zhu Biao, you must stay for the time being, assist the two old ladies to sell their land and property, and the two old ladies go north with so many belongings and family members, even if there is a henchman Zhuang Ding by your side to protect, it is better than you staying, so for safety reasons, you should stay, follow the two old ladies to the north, and when you settle down, you will go to the North Wolf Village to find Lin Chong." ”

Zhu Long groaned slightly, but he also willingly accepted the order: "Then the subordinates will stay and settle down the housework first!"

"Okay, if there is no objection, then everyone will act according to the plan, Zhu Biao, Jiao Ting and Hu Cheng will go north first, Zhu Long will stay, and Shi Qian, Luan Tingyu and Zhu Hu will go to Beijing with me!" Zhao Bufan turned over and finally looked at Hu Sanniang.

"Don't take care for a while!"

"Take care too!" Hu Sanniang smiled and nodded.

After everyone said goodbye to each other, Zhao Bufan took Zheyuezhi, Luan Tingyu, Shi Qian, and Zhu Hu to the southwest and set off again.

After that, the journey was also quite smooth, although there were several waves of Green Forest Haoqiang who wanted to take Zhao Bufan's head, but just Luan Tingyu and Zhu Hu were enough to deal with it.

Luan Tingyu's attack force is around the top five grades, the best at using guns and sticks, and a flying hammer stunt, when he suddenly uses it, the lethality is very terrifying, although Zhao Bufan feels that he is probably slightly weaker than Guan Sheng, Lin Chong and others, but it is roughly between the two of them, and it depends on the situation of the real fight. The most commendable thing is that he is also a person of wisdom and bravery, not to mention high martial arts, he can't fight brutally, and he has learned a lot of the art of war.

Zhu Hu's martial arts are much worse, weaker than Zhu Long and Zhu Biao, but he also has the strength of strong eight products, and his character is relatively reckless.

On this day, several people slowly arrived at the boundary of Panzhen, not far from Bianliang, Tokyo, passing through a narrow road, when they were talking and laughing, hundreds of people with masks suddenly appeared on the high slopes on both sides, all of them were holding crossbows, murderous.

This is terrifying, hundreds of powerful crossbow salvos will be very terrifying in this narrow place.

Zhao Bufan was only stunned for a moment, and then he didn't think about it, and directly abandoned the horse and shouted: "Use the horse as a cover to hide under the cliff, quickly!"

Zheyuezhi and Luan Tingyu also reacted quickly, jumped off the horse in the blink of an eye, and all of them squatted behind the horse, using the horse's body to hide, and quickly moved towards the cliff.

These people on the slope cliff are all wearing vicious masks, which are very impressive, especially the mask of the leader is particularly hideous, with black faces and fangs, like ghosts and evil spirits.

At this moment, his cold eyes swept slightly, and he suddenly raised his hand: "Kill!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The extremely powerful crossbow bolts came out of the string, and the power was so great that a few crossbow arrows could even penetrate the horse's body, and the horse could not even neigh in pain, and died instantly.

Zhao Bufan was very distressed, this is a war horse that has been with him for a long time, although it is not a BMW, but after getting along for a long time, he also has a deep feeling, watching it die on the spot, how can this not hurt in his heart, his eyes turned red instantly.

"This is a strong crossbow that can only be made by the imperial court, how can this force get so much?" Luan Tingyu exclaimed, full of doubts.

The Great Song Dynasty has a strong control over the most advanced crossbows, and it is strictly forbidden to go to the people, and the crossbows used by these people in front of them are very powerful, and they are definitely the strongest crossbows at present, so it is obvious that this group of masked attackers must be related to the imperial court, and they are well-trained and shoot very accurately.

The war horse died, and several people could only drag the horse's corpse as cover, curled up and hid under the cliff, temporarily leaning against the cliff to catch their breath. But this is not a long-term solution after all, and after a long time, the opponent will continue to adjust the direction of the shot, and it will definitely be difficult to escape death.

"General, we might as well rush out and fight!" Zhu Hu shouted angrily.

"No, bear with it a little longer, let them shoot a few rounds, the speed of shooting will definitely slow down, and when the time comes, we will take advantage of the gap between them to load the crossbow arrows, and rush up along the cliff wall in one fell swoop, and fight for a way out!" Zhao Bufan responded calmly, although the chance of success is not great, but now it is also the only choice, otherwise it is a live target, and sooner or later it will be shot.

Suddenly, an arrow shot from a narrow angle and went straight to Zhao Bufan's head, but fortunately he dodged quickly.

Shi Qian let out a cold sweat and said in a panic: "Brother, they are constantly changing the direction of shooting, and they will be able to shoot us soon!"

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more critical, Zhao Bufan had no choice, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calmly probe to observe.

"Listen to me, one, two...... on!"

In an instant, several people jumped up, urged light work, and pedaled along the protrusion on the cliff wall, using their strength to leap to the cliff wall.

"Be careful!"

Originally, the other party was filling, and Zhao Bufan's calculation was not at all off, but he didn't think that the other party still had more than 20 people hiding, maybe he expected them to make such a move, and he had been lying on the ground and hiding earlier, and at this moment he suddenly got up and started shooting, which was really fatal!

Luan Tingyu and Zheyuezhi are okay, with the ability of the two of them, they can still turn their bodies in the air, and it is not a problem to avoid these few arrows.

But Shi Qian and Zhu Hu couldn't do it, seeing the arrows flying towards the two of them, Zhao Bufan was so anxious that he roared, grabbed one with one hand, and suddenly fell in reverse.

The crossbow bolts flew out against their hair, sending the three of them into a cold sweat.

At this time, Luan Tingyu and Zheyuezhi had already climbed the cliff on the left and fought directly with those masked people in close combat, but Zhao Bufan fell to the spot with Shi Qian and Zhu Hu, and before they could stand firmly, dozens of crossbows on the cliff on the right were aimed at them!

"It's over!"

This is the only thought in Zhao Bufan's heart...... (To be continued.) )
