Zhao Qianwang didn't respond first, he raised his face intentionally or unintentionally and looked at Lu Ting, who was also looking at him worriedly, he really wanted to kill Lu Ting, and looked in the direction of Guanyin Rock.

Lu Ting saw Zhao Qianwang's virtue, but he couldn't guess what Zhao Qianwang was thinking, maybe it was because he was worried in his heart, afraid that Zhao Qianwang would regret it at any time, and an order and the army would camp on the spot and start tomorrow.

The power is not in his hands, this is Lu Ting's helplessness, the army is his Zhao Qianwang, what can he do.

Lu Ting anxiously waited for Zhao Qianwang's order to exit.

There was a hint of a grin on the corner of Zhao Qianwang's mouth, fortunately Lu Ting couldn't see it, so he slowly looked at the ironclad cavalry and said: "This gang of bandits is becoming more and more rampant, for the sake of the people, today I, Zhao Qianwang, even if I am going to death and shrouded in horse leather, I will kill the group of thieves! The army remains stealthy and marches!"

All the ironclad cavalry cared about was an order, so he wouldn't care about Zhao Qianwang's bold words about worrying about the people, so he had to turn his horse's head forward and lead his cavalry to open the way.

Lu Ting looked at Zhao Qianwang, and he was really angry and ridiculed in his heart.

Zhao Qianwang had obviously received a report from the mountain inside, saying that the bandits had been slaughtered, and even if the bandits who fled everywhere reunited, it would be difficult to resist this team of soldiers and horses.

Lu Ting suppressed the smile in his heart, did not let him appear on his face, and said with a flattering expression: "Brother Zhao is strong! The people of Tongjiang are blessed by a general like Brother Zhao, it is really a blessing for all the people, how can a thief be a disaster in the township!"

Zhao Qianwang is not a fool, he is just a small head of a hundred households, and he dares to ignore Lu Ting, a county magistrate who is one level older than him, this is also because of his high general merit and high eyes, and he does not value civil officials, of course he can hear the taste of Lu Ting's words at this time, but people's hearts are very different, Zhao Qianwang is just playful, arrogant and scheming.

Zhao Qianwang immediately laughed with him, and made a look that he should take this seriously, and said: "Where, where, the bandit can be regarded as the end of the disaster, and Zhao Mou's sacrifice for the people is also driven by duty!"

Lu Tingshi didn't want to talk nonsense with Zhao Qianwang anymore, so he answered with a smile: "My lord, let's go." ”

Zhao Qianwang nodded, and then led the horse forward.

Lu Ting also urged the horse to follow, but said in his heart: "The bandits are in trouble, but you have said the truth that you are not afraid of being embarrassed! There is really a dragon city general like you, how dare the bandits be a troublemaker?"

Shen Mad is urging the horse forward, the speed is very slow, and although he can bear the rush all the way, Fluttershy and Cai'er, who ride together, are forced to endure the bumps and fatigue.

Shen Mad glanced back at Fluttershy and Cai'er who were following behind, and then looked ahead, a small village was already in front of him, and this place was only two or three miles away from the Thousand Buddha Cliff, he had decided to let Fluttershy and Cai'er rest in the village first, and go to the Thousand Buddha Cliff to wait for Liu Ping'er and Chang Yuheng.

Shen Mad thought about this, so he controlled the horse and stopped.

When Fluttershy and Cai'er see that Shen Mad finally stops, they rush to the horse.

Shen Mad waited for the two of them to come close before he said, "Fluttershy, are you tired?"

Fluttershy listened to Shen's words of concern, and continued, "It's okay, Uncle Shen, are we going to rest here?"

Shen Mad glanced back at the village, and then turned back before saying: "Yes, we can't go into the bigger towns, it's easy for people to notice, let's stay in this small village tonight, settle you down, I'll go to the Thousand Buddha Cliff to see if Ping'er and Yuheng have arrived." ”

Although Fluttershy was worried that Shen Mad was going to leave again, when she heard Liu Ping'er and Chang Yuheng, she suppressed what she wanted to say, and just nodded in response.

The fear in Cai'er's heart also arose, and they would have no one to rely on when Shen Mad left.

Shen Mad didn't wait for Cai'er to say what was in her heart, and said to Fluttershy, "Fluttershy, you guys are waiting under the tree over there, I'll go to the village to have a look, and I'll come out to pick you up right away." ”

Shen Mad said and pointed to a short, strong mulberry elm tree more than 20 meters away, and Fluttershy and Cai'er's eyes unconsciously turned to that side, and only when they looked back did Fluttershy say, "Uncle Shen, go and come back quickly, we will wait for you over there." ”

Shen madly responded, urging the horse to come under the tree, dismounting, and waiting for Fluttershy and Cai'er to come over, before saying, "Fluttershy, Uncle Shen will be back soon." ”

Shen Mad spoke, and without waiting for Fluttershy to respond, he glanced around and flew towards the village.

The shack is cold, the door of the dog barks, the countryside is mostly this scene, not the villagers to bark to prevent theft, but thousands of years of people have always been with poultry as a companion of the precipitation, this small village is also the same scene.

Shen Mad knew what he was doing, but he couldn't let this dog bark really disturb the attention of the whole village, and a stone in his hand that had been prepared for a long time went away with a howling wind.

A yellow dog hidden under the fence of the courtyard wall in the moonlight turned the last roar into a moan and groan, and rolled on the ground with a few twitches of limbs before moving, and the village dog that had resonated with it in the distance was no longer so restless.

Shen Mad had already flown into the courtyard, and this courtyard was just enclosed by a fence.

There are three old and dilapidated rooms, two smaller ones, one for some miscellaneous items, and the other for cooking.

The oil lamp in the big house had burst into light, and a woman's voice that could taste the charm of worry and fear said in a low voice: "What's wrong with Xiao Huang?" Jin Xiao, don't go out, take a look quietly. ”

The village woman's words were too late, and Jin Xiao had already pulled the latch, but he was still moved by his wife's words, and his probe gently pushed the door open a gap, and looked out by the moonlight.

The gap in the door is getting bigger and bigger, and Jin Xiao's courage is getting bigger and bigger, there is no one in the yard at all, only the yellow dog is curled up under the fence from a distance, Jin Xiao bumps the courage and barks: "Xiao Huang, come!"

The yellow dog shrank there and didn't react, Jin Xiao barked again, the yellow dog still didn't react, Jin Xiao pushed the door open, looked around again, made sure that there was no one, came out cautiously with broken steps, and walked towards the yellow dog, and suddenly, a figure fell lightly from the roof.

The door of the house was opened, and the village woman in the house had just gotten out of bed with her clothes on, when she saw a strange figure flickering at the door, and her heart suddenly tightened, and she was about to open her mouth to scream, but a stone had flown in, and it was hitting her shoulder and neck, and the village woman's cry could no longer be spoken, and her body collapsed backwards on the bed.

Xiao Jin already felt something unusual, and turned his head suddenly, stunned before he could scream, the figure that appeared in front of him like a ghost had reached out and patted him on the shoulder and neck.

Xiao Jin also collapsed softly, and when he fell, Shen Mad's figure was clear and hazy again.

Shen Yan leaned over, grabbed Xiao Jin's belt and lifted it, and walked quickly into the house.

Fluttershy sits under the tree, a worried look on her face, and Cai'er looks around in fear, of course they don't notice what it's like to be away at night when Shen Mad is there, and only then do the two girls feel the coldness and darkness of the night after Shen Mad leaves, even though the waning moon has released its greatest luster.

Cai'er's eyes returned to Fluttershy from the surroundings, and she watched Fluttershy's body tremble a little, and hurriedly asked, "Miss, are you cold?"

Fluttershy nodded, and Colora hugged Fluttershy intimately, saying, "It's cold outside, let's stick together, and the slave will keep you warm." ”

Fluttershy certainly won't refuse, she thinks like Cai'er, they can survive the cold for a while, but this fear is the only way for them to ease it at this time.

The two girls hugged each other, and at this time they were supposed to joke in the embroidery building, telling some stories about the son and the beautiful woman, but Fluttershy was the daughter of Zhu Wuye and the niece of Zhu Xiaosheng, and she had no right to choose fate, only waiting for the suffering given by fate in a daze.

After a while, Shen Mad leaped in from a distance, and the nearby village dog that resonated with Xiao Huang could never roar again.

Fluttershy and Cai'er have gotten up, and Shen Madness has come close to see the two girls hugging each other under the tree to keep warm, and Shen Madness can see it in the distance.

Shen says to Fluttershy, "Fluttershy, let's go!"

Shen Madness didn't wait for Fluttershy to ask anything, he turned around and led the two horses and led the way, knowing that all Fluttershy and Cai'er needed now was a warm room and a bed that would allow them to take away their fatigue from the day.

The farmhouse where Shen Mad took Fluttershy and Cai'er to settle down is on the edge of the village, and when they enter the house, the warm atmosphere makes Fluttershy and Cai'er even lose any trace of fear, and the bed is shaved and open, and the quilt is old and neatly folded.

Shen Mad said with a hint of a smile, "Fluttershy, it's been a day, it's cold and hungry, you go to bed first to warm up for a while, Uncle Shen will go to the Thousand Buddha Cliff, find Ping'er and them, and come back to bring you some food." ”

Fluttershy heard that Shen Mad was about to leave, the look of fear appeared on her face again, her lips twitched, but she didn't say anything, she was afraid to leave Shen Mad protection, but she was even more worried about Liu Ping'er and Chang Yuheng, and the tangle in her heart made her hesitate to do nothing.

Cai'er looked at Fluttershy, and then at Shen Mad who couldn't speak, and she couldn't decide to stay for Shen Mad anymore, so she just made a decision for Fluttershy in silence and said, "Uncle Shen, you have to come back soon, we're afraid!"

Shen Mad looked at the sensible Cai'er, then at Fluttershy, nodded, and walked out of the room gloomily, he didn't look back, the tangle in his heart was no less soothing than Fluttershy's tangle.

Fluttershy watches Shen mad away, and unconsciously steps to the door, tears streaming down her eyes somehow.

Cai'er supports Fluttershy as she looks at Shen Mad who has long since flown out of the fence and is nowhere to be found.
