Chapter 43

Zhu Youning and his party of more than [-] people finally left Bianzhou in a mighty way.

When I first left Bianzhou, the scenery along the road was actually pretty good.

Although the sunny pastoral scenery is not as comfortable and beautiful as the poets of the prosperous Tang Dynasty praised, and the common people still have to bear the burden of rent, but it can be regarded as a gathering of people, living and working in peace and contentment.

However, after reaching the border of Pinglu in the east, there is no scenery to speak of along the way.

In its place was barrenness.

It's not that these places were originally barren, but were eaten up by some people who fled from the famine.It is true to use the word desolate to describe it.

The land of Pinglu involves Hebei, Shandong Peninsula and other places, and the land is fertile and white soil. Therefore, if the people who are famine in other places want to escape the famine, they will subconsciously think that there is plenty of food here, so they choose this place.

But the reality is often different from the impression in the mind.

During this trip, Zhu Youning's team consisted of ten carriages, more than 40 horses pulling the carts, and more than 100 walking mules.

The jewels that Zhu Wen bestowed on Zhu Youning were all placed on the carriage behind, and each of the two hundred cavalry guarded them on horseback.

Of course, only these 200 people and the [-] or so soldiers in charge of security operations don't need to bring anything.

As for the remaining 4000 people, they all walked with the carts.

After all, they were not going to fight, but to move the town, which was more like moving house.Isn't moving out just moving out with big bags and small bags?
Apart from food and supplies, the soldiers carried a lot of things, such as iron tanks for eating and drinking, iron pots, hammers, rations, and extra long and short weapons and armor, etc., which needed to be carried by mules.

It can only be said that moving is tiring work.

The only exception is Zhu Youning.This master unceremoniously monopolizes a super large carriage, sits comfortably in the carriage generously, eats the grapes peeled by Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian in his mouth, then he will not hear anything outside the carriage .

This behavior seemed to be a dandy, but Wu Yi knew in his heart that the prince seemed to be enjoying himself in the carriage, but in fact he was rough and subtle, hiding in the carriage to avoid people's eyes and ears.

"There are enemy troops! Formation!"

At this time, Liu Po, who was guarding in front of the carriage, shouted.

Miao Chengtian in the carriage suddenly turned pale, and asked: "My lord, why did I hear that someone is attacking us?"

Wu Yi drew out his sword in a "swish" and stood in the north of the carriage. He turned his head and said, "My lord, I don't know yet! The general will swear to protect the lord to the death!"

Almost a moment later, a group of figures on horseback appeared in everyone's field of vision in the distance.These people roared loudly, rushed out one after another, and rushed straight to the carriage where Zhu Youning was.

Zhu Youning sat on the carriage, slightly opened the curtain, and naturally saw the people rushing in front of Yuan.

This is really a disaster.With the maid, he went out of the city, ate grapes, touched beautiful women, and was suddenly robbed by horse bandits.
And this horse bandit doesn't seem to be simple!

"Kill! Take Zhu Youning's carriage!"

At this time, a deep voice sounded from among the horse bandits, and the rest of them rushed forward, and suddenly there was the power of a cavalry charge.This can't help but make Liu Yan see something is wrong.

These horse bandits are well-trained and disciplined, and they have no bandits at all!
"Those who escaped before the battle will be killed! If the guards are weak, the death penalty is still unforgivable!" Seeing the invading enemy, Wu Yi shouted loudly, "Army and cavalry line up, and archers are ready..."

Inside the carriage, Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian looked at a loss, they seemed frightened and anxious.

Zhu Youning had a panoramic view of the performance of the two.

This made the two of them stiff, but there was still a panic on their faces.

At this time, the horse bandits outside the carriage quickly rushed to the side of the road condescendingly, approaching the carriage.

After observing closely, Wu Yi discovered that these horse bandits were not like ordinary people. They seemed to be strong and strong, and their formations were well organized, which seemed like an army formation.

Wu Yi suddenly felt tired of coping.

Zhu Youning was not going to fight this time, but to move the town, so he had a lot of luggage at will, and when he encountered a well-trained invading enemy, he was unable to gather all his troops for a while.

Therefore, Wu Yi had no way to make a quick decision. Although most of the horse bandits were blocked, five extremely ferocious bandits had already touched the carriage behind.

Their target was Zhu Youning's carriage.

"Getting the Marquis Award is today!"

These five extremely ferocious bandits rushed towards Zhu Youning's carriage excitedly.

However, at this moment, screams sounded one after another.

For some reason, the gangsters who were heading towards Zhu Youning's carriage fell off the horse's back and fell to the ground before they could react.

Falling off a high-speed horse, it is true that the injury was serious.It took a while for the gangster who rushed to the front to get up from the ground.

However, when he got up, he found that all four legs of his war horse had been severed by something.

And the other four thugs who rushed in with him were already lying motionless in the pool of blood on the ground, life and death were unpredictable.

The dust on this ground was already kicked up by horseshoes, but now it seems to be shrouded in blood mist.

In the blood mist, he saw a petite figure.

The gangster's eyes widened suddenly: "How could it be you? Why are you here?"

The petite figure's words were full of coldness, and said: "If you dare to rob the prince's way, death is not a pity!"

Hearing this, the gangster couldn't guess that he had been deceived. He pointed at the petite figure, "You did it on purpose."

However, before he finished speaking, he saw the petite figure flipping his palm slightly in the distance, and the horse thief was actually cut off in the middle by an invisible thing like a thread.

The farce of this raid subsided quickly, and Zhu Youning sat in the carriage from the beginning to the end, without changing his expression.

With his current strength, he is not afraid of any horse bandit attack at all.

Those who can threaten him are always only those masters of the big heaven.However, the masters of the big heaven generally don't make shots easily, and spend more time practicing.

Although he was safe and sound, Zhu Youning had to think about the attack.

Who is it that dares to rob his own way?And why do you rob your own way?How did they know where they were?
When Zhu Youning was guessing in his mind, a woman's voice came.

"Xuanming taught Zhong Kui to save him late, please forgive me, my lord!"

Xuanming sect?Zhong Kui?

Zhu Youning was suddenly a little surprised, and Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian next to him also secretly looked at each other.

Afterwards, Zhu Youning got out of the carriage and met Zhong Kui of Xuanming Sect.

Zhong Kui of Xuanming Sect is actually just a title, or a position.

The Zhong Kui of Xuanming Sect is not a strong man with a big beard, but a petite young girl in a red dress.

The girl is wearing a red hat with a strange shape, and her clothes are also red, very close-fitting and compact, with graceful lines and a big "Kui" character printed on the back.

At this time, she was kneeling on one knee in front of Zhu Youning's carriage with her head down, without saying a word.

Zhu Youning looked at her, "Are you Zhong Kui, Zhong Xiaokui from Xuanming Sect?"

"Yes." Zhong Xiaokui answered unsmilingly, then clasped his fists together and said, "Zhong Xiaokui is willing to follow the prince and let him order him!"
