"Leave two people to look for them nearby, and the rest will continue on their way tomorrow." Xiao Chengjun gave the order directly without asking Lou Jing for his opinion.

Yun Jiu raised his head in surprise, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, but..." Originally, as a bodyguard, it was his duty to follow up after he was lost, so there was no reason to let others find him.

Lou Jing waved his hand, "Just do what His Highness wants." It was really dangerous last night. He and Xiao Chengjun almost died even though they were wearing brocade belts, but he felt that Youyun Guard should not be so bad. This was the treasure left to him by his grandfather.

, and he was unwilling to suffer any loss.

Yun Jiu couldn't hide his joy and bowed to leave, and went out to discuss with Yun Yi the remaining manpower.

"This matter should not be the work of those assassins in the capital." Xiao Chengjun moved his hand to Lou Jing's butterfly bone. There was a large bruise there, and the purple mark had a tendency to turn black. It was very distressing to see.

The movements of my hands are also much lighter.

Lou Jing hugged her husband's waist and narrowed her eyes in enjoyment. This kind of injury was nothing to him, but the opportunity was rare, so he had to eat enough tofu. "Which path did Anshun and the others take?"

Logically speaking, Xiao Chengjun's move to escape the golden cicada should have been concealed from those who were following him, so someone else must be attacking them this time.

"They walked to the east of Jiangzhou, from Xuanyang to Minzhou." Xiao Chengjun said with a slight frown.

Xunyang is located to the west of Jiangzhou and is not the shortest road to Minzhou. Moreover, the Hezui Bend near Linjiang River is difficult to pass. As a vassal prince, people with large and small packages will definitely choose the smoothest road, so

Anshun and the others took that route "according to common sense". Xuanyang and Xunyang were three hundred miles apart, and the assassins would never catch up.

They had no clue about crossing the river, so they stopped thinking about it for the time being and hugged each other on the bed to rest for a day before setting off for Jiuchang County the next day.

The entire Jiangzhou is divided into four counties: south, north, and west. The four west counties are close to the Bashu area and have barren land. The four south counties are close to Minzhou and Lingnan, with mountains and ridges everywhere. Jiuchang County is the largest of the four south counties.

County, the military camps of the four southern counties are also at the junction of Jiuchang and neighboring counties.

Although Lou Jing's purpose of coming out was to find her husband, she still had to complete the errand given by the emperor. Therefore, the two of them had to go to the Jiuchang military camp to let everyone know that he, the general of Zhennan, was here before they could follow Xiao Chengjun.

Go to Minzhou to eat sea fish.

After crossing the river, there were not many refugees. Everyone walked smoothly, and there were tea sheds and food stalls on the official road.

"Does your arm hurt?" Xiao Chengjun reined in his horse and asked You Yunwei to go to the tea shed to pour some tea. He put his arms around the waist of the person in his arms and asked him to sit up straighter.

"It doesn't hurt." Lou Jing felt very comfortable in the arms of His Highness the Prince of Fujian. Because he injured his arm and couldn't ride a horse, they shared a horse. Fortunately, Lou Jing's sweaty horse and Xiao Chengjun's green horse were both

It's a fine horse and a camel that doesn't seem too tiring for two people.

"Master, this place is only twenty miles away from Jiuchang City." Yunba asked the tea stall owner about the distance and came back to report.

"Then let's go to the city and eat again," Xiao Chengjun asked Youyun Guard to mount his horse, and he took a piece of dry food from the bag and handed it to Lou Jing, "If you are hungry, eat first."

Lou Jing took the roasted brown sesame seed cake in her mouth, scooped it up and took a bite happily, and let Xiao Chengjun wrap him in his arms. Xiao Chengjun shook the reins lightly, and the sweaty horse under him spread its hooves and started running.

Even though we were approaching Jiuchang City, there were still high mountains on both sides of the official road. Green mountains and rivers, accompanied by the cries of orioles and swallows, made it feel like a spring outing. However, before finishing even one sesame seed cake, the sweaty horse suddenly neighed.

With a sound, the man stood up and the sesame seeds immediately flew out.

Xiao Chengjun jerked the reins with one hand and held Lou Jing's waist with the other to prevent him from falling.

This is a small road sandwiched between two mountains. Suddenly, two rows of wide stones appeared on the road, blocking the road tightly. If the horses were not reined in in time, the horses would almost fall.

"Can you see clearly, are these people?" A shirtless eight-foot-old man grabbed a thin man in ragged clothes and pointed at Xiao Chengjun with a nine-ring sword in his hand and asked.

"That's it, they are..." The person who was grabbed by the collar said tremblingly.

"Your Excellency, why do you want to stop us?" Yun Yice immediately stepped forward, and Yun Shisan and Yun Shishi also stepped forward at the same time, protecting Xiao Chengjun behind them.

"Stop blabbering, let me ask you, four nights ago, were you at the Chenghuang Temple, thirty miles outside Xunyang City?" The big man had a gold ring hanging around his neck, sparkling in the noon sun.

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of people suddenly surged up from all around, all wearing sleeveless shorts, holding knives and sticks, and looking fierce.

Xiao Chengjun was startled. He looked carefully at the thin man held by the big man. He looked familiar. He must be the refugee who took refuge in the City God's Temple!

"I don't know what the good guy means. If you want passing money," Yun opened his mouth like a veteran in the world of martial arts, and stretched out his thumb to push his chest, "It's not just a day or two for a brother to be in the martial arts world, you open a

The price is good for us to discuss."

Yun Jiu glanced at Yun Yi, who suddenly became an escort, and winked at Yun Twelve and Yun Liu. The two of them moved back a few steps knowingly, holding the bow hanging on the victory hook in their hands.

"I don't want money today, I want my life!" The big man threw aside the refugee in his hand, raised the nine-ring knife and shouted loudly.

"Fourth brother, keep the beauty in that pretty boy's arms for me." A sinister-looking man jumped down from the high stone and patted the big man on the shoulder.

When Xiao Chengjun heard this, his face suddenly darkened. He reached out and pulled out the Chixiao sword from his waist. He who dared to covet his princess deserved death!

"Humph," the big man known as Lao Si glanced disdainfully at Lou Jing, who was nestled in Xiao Chengjun's arms, "Brothers, keep that rabbit, and I will chop the rest!"

When the bandits around him heard this, they rushed over with shouts.

Yun Twelve and Yun Liu instantly jumped off their horses, jumped onto the steep slopes on both sides of the road as light as a swallow, drew their bows and arrows, and shot at the two leaders.

The big man with the knife turned sideways and avoided it. The nine-ring knife quickly blocked the flying arrows and made a crisp collision sound. He was immediately angered and roared and rushed towards Xiao Chengjun. Yun Yi jumped off the horse and struck in the air.

his head.

The big man couldn't avoid it, raised his sword to block it, and was scratched on the shoulder. He immediately fought with Yun Yi. Yun Yi didn't expect that a man who only practiced foreign kung fu would be so powerful with his sword.

You can fight him with brute strength.

The man who coveted Lou Jing was not so lucky. He was shot through the chest by the Yun Liuyi Sword. One of the minions exclaimed "Second Master" and quickly pulled him aside.

The Sixteenth Guards of Youyun were on their way this time. They were not going to the battlefield. They did not bring long weapons. They suffered a lot in close combat on horseback. They all jumped off their horses, protected Xiao Chengjun and Lou Jing in the middle, and started to kill the bandits.

Most of the bandits are ordinary people, and not many of them really know Kung Fu. To Youyun Wei, it's like chopping melons and vegetables. However, there are so many people that they can't kill them all.

"Everyone, stand back and smash the rocks!" Lao Si used the copper ring on the knife to twist Yun Yi's thin knife and shouted at the minions who were being killed brutally.

Those little minions really fought and retreated up the steep slope. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Lou Jing took the reins with one hand and suddenly turned the horse's head. The sweaty horse jumped up and ran up the steep slope to the east. At the same time,

At the same time, many boulders rolled down the west slope, and the Youyun Guards instantly rushed up the steep slope like ghosts, chasing those who placed the stones.

Xiao Chengjun jumped off his horse while holding Lou Jing in his arms, and stood on the high stone where Yun Twelve stood. Some people rushed towards him, but they were all shot by Yun Twelve.

"Go to the boss for help!" Although the nine-ring sword is heavy, Yun Yi's sword skills are very strange and extremely fast. The big man named Laosi has been scratched several times, and he was struck like a tarsal maggot.

The persistent swordsman screamed angrily, but remained unyielding, shouting at a high place for someone to move reinforcements.

"Be brave!" At this moment, a shout came from not far away, and a group of people wearing government uniforms ran towards this side.

"The officers and soldiers are coming!" the minions shouted and began to flee in all directions.

The man who had been hit by an arrow was supported by his men and ran up the mountain. He was hit in the crook of the knee by Yun Liuyi's arrow, and he immediately fell to his knees. The little guy screamed in fright, abandoned him and ran away.

"Ah--" Lao Si roared angrily and opened Yun Yi's knife with all his strength. He risked being cut by Yun Yi and rushed towards Xiao Chengjun regardless of the risk.

Xiao Chengjun raised his sword to block the heavy blow. Lou Jing raised his leg and kicked him down.

The big man stumbled on the ground, showing no signs of fighting. He turned over and mounted a horse and ran away. Yun Twelve drew his bow and shot an arrow at the man's back. It was as if the man had eyes behind his back.

He leaned on his horse to avoid the arrows, turned around on the path and disappeared.

Several of Youyun Guard's horses were injured by stones. Everyone's first priority was to protect their masters, so they stopped chasing them.

Those officers and soldiers who arrived late caught the man who had been hit by the arrow in the knee and a few young men who could not run away, and tied them tightly. Yun Ba immediately stepped forward to get close to these officers and soldiers, and made it clear that they were robbed innocently.

of passers-by.

After listening to Yun Ba's words, the leader turned around and clasped his fists at Xiao Chengjun, "We are the yamen of Jiuchang County. We are passing by here on errands. Please ask the young master and the guards to wait with me to go to the yamen so that we can meet the county governor.

Crossover."

Sheriff of Jiuchang County? Lou Jing’s eyebrows twitched. Isn’t that the same Master Yang Xingyang who wants to send his daughter to Duke Anguo’s mansion as a side chamber? He almost forgot. He has to help his father when he comes out this time.

Urging the marriage!

"But did you touch your arm just now?" Xiao Chengjun asked with a frown when he saw that Lou Jing looked wrong.

Lou Jing shook her head and whispered in Xiao Chengjun's ear: "I happen to have something to do and want to see the county guard."
