-------------------------------------------------- ----------------

Chu Huan asked: "How long can it take to go through the fork?"

The county magistrate thought for a while and said: "My lord, some places not far from the official road are damaged If Caicheng passes through the bamboo forest branch road, although the road is rough and narrow, it will take at most an hour to reach the county seat."

Xue Huai'an couldn't help but said, "You mean the road ahead is damaged?"

"Yes." The county seat nodded on the horse and said: "The lower official set off from the county seat before the sun set. I'm afraid that the adults' team will go directly from the official road to avoid missing it, so we greeted us all the way from the official road and drove fast all the way. It probably took an hour and a half." Pointing to the carriages behind, "Now there are carriages, it will take two hours to arrive."

Xue Huai'an looked up and saw that the sky had gradually darkened. He said sleepily, "Forget it, then go through the side road!"

Xuanyuan Shengcai immediately said from the side: "It's not safe for Mr. Xue to divert the black bamboo forest." He pointed to the distance and took advantage of the last afterglow.

Xue Huai'an raised his eyes and saw that there was indeed a dense bamboo forest in the distance, which seemed to grow on a very high hillside, where the bamboo forest was densely packed and stretched for several miles.

Xue Huai'an frowned and said, "The road here is only an hour away from the county magistrate. Could there be banditry near the county town?"

The county magistrate immediately said, "It's absolutely impossible to tell the adults. The magistrate of Mao County governs Gushan County conscientiously. Although there are occasional small thieves, there are absolutely no robbers. When many people go to the county, they go through the bamboo forest. Officials also often walk this way, it is definitely very safe. *" Then he said: "Everything depends on the adults!"

Xue Huai'an nodded and said: "I also feel that there will be no bandits." Then he smiled and said: "We have [-] elite soldiers, even if there are mere thieves, why should we be afraid of them? By the way, I will clear up the banditry for Gushan County!"

Before Xuanyuan Sheng hesitated, Chu Huan cupped his hands to Xue Huai'an and said, "Lord Xue, let's talk!" Urging the horse to the side, Xue Huai'an frowned, but still followed. Everyone saw that Chu Huan and Xue Huai'an were discussing in low voices at first. Xiao Bantian suddenly saw Xue Huai'an suddenly change color and raised his finger to point at Chu Huan and shouted angrily: "Chu Huan, you have to figure out whether this officer is making you just a deputy envoy, and it's up to you to make a decision!"

Chu Huan argued with reason: "Your Excellency, I have already said that everything is safe. Even though you are an envoy, you can't cover the sky with one hand!"

The members of the mission looked at each other, thinking that the two had disagreements because of their choice of path. Seeing that they were arguing, they didn't dare to go over to persuade Xuanyuan Sheng, so he frowned and patted his horse. Chu Huan moved closer and said a few words to him. Yuan didn't know what to say, but saw the voices of the three over there, high and low, and finally saw Xue Huai'an shake the rein of the horse, came back, his face was a little unsightly, and he said to the county magistrate: "You lead the way, we are going from here today. Go through the bamboo forest."

Chu Huan and Xuanyuan Sheng just rode over. What else did Chu Huan have to say? Xuanyuan Sheng said, "Since Mr. Xue, the deputy envoy of Chu, has decided that we will be ordered, there is no need to say any more!"

Chu Huan glanced at Xuanyuan Sheng before showing dissatisfaction on his face.

Seeing this, the county magistrate turned his horse's head and said humbly to Xue Huai'an: "Your Excellency, follow me!" After leading the way, the whole team followed the county magistrate for a few miles and there was indeed a fork in the wilderness. It is not an official road, but it is not very narrow. A carriage is more than enough to drive along it, but the road is naturally not as smooth as the official road.

Xue Huai'an obviously wanted to rush to the county magistrate Anxie earlier to urge the team to speed up along this side road for a few miles. There was a bamboo grove in front of him, and he could smell the fragrance of bamboo wafting from there. The bamboo forest swayed gently in the night wind, making a rustling sound like a light dance.

Chu Huan seemed to be resentful and didn't speak, just rode behind the team and saw that the bamboo forest was getting closer. Chu Huan finally said to Xue Huai'an, "Master, the bamboo forest is dark for a while. For safety, should we send spies in to check it out?" We should be careful if we sail a thousand-year-old ship with care!"

Xue Huai'an was about to speak, the county seat in front of him had already turned his head and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I would like to go in and have a look first!"

Xue Huai'an hesitated for a moment, then ordered the team to stop and ordered the county magistrate to go to see the county magistrate, took two servants under his command, patted his horse, and entered the bamboo forest. After a while, he came out of the bamboo forest and waved: "It's safe inside A lot of people come in and pass through this bamboo forest, and it won’t take long to get to Guxian Town. (You can find the material of the novel)”

Only then did Xue Huai'an wave his hands and say, "Let's go!"

The team continued to move forward and soon entered the bamboo forest. The moonlight was faint but very bright. The moonlight shot in through the gaps in the bamboo forest. Although it was not very clear, it could still distinguish the road.

Sure enough, there is still a road in the bamboo forest, and it seems that people often come and go.

After walking a short distance into the forest, Chu Huan suddenly called out, "Wait a minute!"

Xue Huai'an seemed a little impatient and asked, "What's the matter with you, Vice Envoy Chu?"

Chu Huan said: "I feel something is wrong!"

Xue Huai'an smiled disdainfully and said, "I thought Deputy Chu was very courageous, but I didn't expect that even I couldn't compare to him? I've already sent people to investigate, what's wrong?" With a shake of the rein, he said, "Don't be suspicious. It's dark today. Let's hurry up!"

Chu Huan didn't say much and urged the horse to walk around in front of the county magistrate and asked in a deep voice, "Did you really investigate it just now?"

The county magistrate seemed to be frightened by Chu Huan and said in a panic: "Your official...the lower official has checked and found nothing... nothing wrong...!"

Chu Huan smiled coldly and pulled out the blood drink knife attached to his waist with a "choke" and said sharply: "But I don't think you are the county magistrate of Gushan County!"

The county magistrate suddenly changed color, but before he could say much, he saw that the blood-drinking knife in Chu Huan's hand had already been chopped off. Another few rolls had already submerged into the nearby bamboo forest before everyone could react.

The other two yamen who are dressed up have already urged the steeds under their crotches to pat the horses and left, and they have already shouted: "The fat sheep has come in The fat sheep has come in...!"

The two of them hadn't run far away, they only called out a few times, and the two arrows behind them had already shot over and sank into the vests of the two of them, and the two of them immediately fell from the horse.

Xuanyuan Shengcai had already yelled sharply: "The back team has changed to the front team and turned around!"

At this moment, the sound of shouting and drinking could be heard from all around the bamboo forest, and the sounds seemed to be everywhere.

"Brothers, the fat sheep has entered the entrance, everyone kill it!"

"Don't let them get away!"

"Whoever cuts off the most heads will get the most." Someone's voice was extremely loud: "Brothers, please don't let one go if you are rich or dangerous!"

These voices are far and near, and the soldiers of the guards have already seen figures flickering in the bamboo forest, swarming towards this side, it seems that there are people everywhere, how many billions are there?

The soldiers of the Guards Army are well-trained. After Xuanyuan Sheng gave the order, they quickly changed teams, but it was a bit troublesome to turn around the vehicles loaded with goods. At this moment, there were already many people rushing over from the bamboo forests on both sides. The soldiers of the Guards Army are worthy of the empire The police soldiers had already bent their bows and shot arrows, and the sound of arrows suddenly sounded, and the screams sounded again and again, and many bandits had been shot and killed within a few moments.

The mission team moved quickly, and the rear team had turned into the front team, and quickly headed out of the bamboo forest. The carriage also turned around and quickly followed the front team, and it had also become the rear team, relying on bows and arrows to temporarily resist the rushing bandits, but the bamboo forest was very dark and dark. The arrows that grow very densely can only block the sharpness of the bandits, but they can't stop the bandits who are like tides all around.

The front team has already sped up and got out of the bamboo forest. They are retreating while fighting, and there are more and more bandits in the forest. It seems that there are bandits hiding everywhere in the bamboo forest. Although the number is not clear at the moment, the number is obviously much higher than that of the mission. .

At this time, Chu Huan was guarding Xue Huai'an and quickly retreated to the outside of the bamboo forest. A large group of bandits were chasing after them. There were quite a few fierce bandits among them. More than a dozen people were killed, but three or four people were shot by the opponent's arrows and fell off their horses. Fortunately, their companions rescued them and pulled their horses back in time to retreat.

Out of the bamboo forest, Chu Huan looked back and saw those bandits rushing out of the bamboo forest one by one like ants, making a noise and yelling, but they didn't have any rules, they just waved their weapons and chased them crazily. They are all dressed in rags, and they look very thin. The weapons in their hands are all kinds of notches, rusty knives, axes, wooden sticks tied to iron heads, even long guns, and there are only a few bows and arrows. Obviously a valuable weapon.

The mission team has already withdrawn from the bamboo forest, and the rear team is still doing its best to resist. Soon, a dozen or so horses rush out from the bamboo forest, the number is not many, obviously horses are more luxurious accessories for them.

The bandit behind the team stood at the side and walked away. Although No. 30 people had been killed or injured, their morale was high and they were chasing after them. In the wilderness, this group of people chased them like desperadoes. At first glance, it seemed that they were close. There are as many as a thousand people.

After a few miles, the group of bandits was getting closer and closer. The guards in the rear were running out of arrows, but Chu Huan yelled sharply: "Leave the carriage and leave it alone!"

Xue Huai'an said anxiously: "Vice Envoy Chu, these are wedding gifts to Xiliang, don't lose them!"

Chu Huan said in a deep voice: "My lord, do you want your life or something!" Without waiting for Xue Huai'an to say more, he shouted: "General Xuanyuan asked people to drop their things and leave first!"

Xuanyuan Shengcai said loudly without much hesitation: "Leave the car behind!"

After the five carriages were left behind, the groom jumped off the carriage, and cavalrymen stretched out their hands to the carriage protected by Ruo Chu Baihu and others, but Chu Baihu and others did not stay behind and still escorted them away.

Seeing that the Guards left the carriage full of goods and fled in embarrassment, the bandits cheered and rushed towards the carriage. A bandit on a horse had already burst into laughter, raised his hand and pointed a knife at the rapidly evacuating mission team and laughed wildly. : "What kind of bullshit police soldiers are the imperial court's army so vulnerable, it's not as good as trash!"
