It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 249

Green eyes, dark gray eyelashes blinking gently, the face under the black veil is as lustrous as jade, white as ivory.

Lan Qingting is not an ugly person, her face under the black veil is not terrifying after being burned, but perfect like a devil.

So, it's no wonder that the man's first sentence is exclamation.

Lan Qingting blushed, even though the murdering horse bandits behind her were approaching, she still blushed. What I want to say subconsciously is: You are also beautiful.

The man is not tall, with some baby fat on his cheeks, and Gululu's eyes roll like black stars.

"Come on, horse bandit... it's a horse bandit..."

Lan Qingting shouted loudly, her breath was short due to nervousness, afraid that he didn't know the horror of horse bandits, but there was no reaction on her face at this moment, such a good-looking young man should not die under the sword of horse bandits.

"Go away, bastard!" Lan Qingting couldn't help but scolded.

The hooves of the horses were loud, and a dozen horse bandits surrounded the two. Lan Qingting's heart was beating wildly, and she grabbed the dagger from her waist and stabbed it at her throat.

Compared with death, falling into the hands of these horse bandits would be even more terrifying.

Suddenly, a clean palm grabbed her wrist and slapped the dagger off.

Lan Qingting raised her head subconsciously, and saw the young man hanging his head, looking at her with a smile on his face. Lan Qingting has never seen a young man with such a good-looking smile in the world.

"Big boss."

Only then did Lan Qingting realize that the horse bandits had jumped off their horses at some point, and they formed a circle and shouted loudly.

They will naturally not be themselves, but the boy in front of them.

Lan Qingting shuddered from the depths of her heart, raised her head and looked at the young man in front of her, a deep chill instantly engulfed her.

The head of the thirteen horse bandits in the border town - Gui Jianshou.

No wonder he kept laughing when he saw himself, that is, a gluttonous guest laughs when he sees food.

Lan Qingting seemed to have fallen into a swamp, unable to use any strength. Thirteen horse bandits in the border town, led by Gui Jianchou, are known for their cruelty. But Blue Dragonfly couldn't believe it, and the ghost who made everyone feel terrified turned out to be a baby-faced boy.

"The big boss, the fat sheep is coming soon."

"Are you there, then let the brothers get busy."

"The escort this time is Yulongwei... Let's think about it again."

"What about Yulongwei?" The young man raised his eyebrows and asked.

There was silence all around.

...

Xizhao Pass, the last major pass in the northwestern part of the Empire. Leaving this pass is the vast grassland, that is, the territory of the Rong tribe.

Of course, the Rong people have no actual control over this place, and naturally they will not control it either. These guys living on the grasslands don't know there is a third thing besides robbing things and letting go of horses.

As a result, 200 miles away from Xizhao Pass, it has become a three-no-go zone. The Rong people don’t care at all, and the empire wants to control it and has no strength. So this area has become a paradise for horse bandits, slave traders, and thugs. Almost every day Seeing the corpses thrown into the wilderness, they turned into bones in a short time. The wild dogs in this place are also fatter than other places.

General Xiongmao, the gatekeeper of Xizhao, fell ill today. The reason for his illness was not the cold or the weather, but... The Imperial Princess Mingyu mainly passed through Xizhaoguan.

Xizhaoguan naturally had to do a good job of entertaining. In addition to Mingyu's own bodyguards, Xizhaoguan also had to send out guards to protect Princess Mingyu for 500 miles.

These things are naturally to be done, but Xiongmao does not want to send them personally.

As the guardian of Xizhao Guan, he naturally had more contact with the Rong family than the gentlemen in the capital. And the way they often come into contact is naturally bow and arrow, rolling stone, gunpowder.

He hated the Rong clan deeply, and this kind of thing to send a woman to the Rong clan was a great disgrace to him. But others were light-hearted, and they couldn't change anything. Simply, out of sight and out of mind, let the lieutenant do the work of receiving escorts, and pretended to be sick in the house.

Fortunately, they are finally leaving, and Xiongmao can also get out of the house and get some air outside.

"Sir." Deputy General Xiao Zhu ran into the room: "Princess Mingyu is about to leave the customs. How many people will we send with you, or five thousand?"

"Five thousand?" Xiongmao grinned: "Is there someone who can't live like you, just give them a thousand people. It's a symbolic gift, and you can come back after delivery."

"Sir, it's not very peaceful outside the customs now. I heard that there are thieves who want to rob and bring their relatives." Xiao Zhu said: "There are only 1,000 people.

"Five hundred?" Xiongmao snorted coldly, "That's five hundred fish and dragon guards!"

"Yulongwei..." Xiao Zhu paused and said, "Sir, this Yulongwei always hears people say, what's so great about it?"

Yulongwei, many people have heard of these three-word empires, but very few have actually seen them. Because this team is not protecting the imperial court, nor Chang'an, but someone in the palace.

Ming Emperor.

They were the team directly commanded by Emperor Ming, the sword that Emperor Ming used to kill, and the shield that Emperor Ming used to defend himself.

The internal situation of Yulongwei is unknown, and the organizational structure is unknown. I only heard rumors that they were secretly cultivated by Emperor Ming and divided into two branches: Yuwei and Longwei. Yuwei is an orphan found from all over the world, who is taught martial arts by experts and secretly trained in selected places. The outstanding fish guards can be promoted to dragon guards, and when the dragon guards are placed in the army, they can reach a fierce general, and when they are placed in the rivers and lakes, they can become a bandit.

And Emperor Ming also recruited strange people on the rivers and lakes. For example, Qingye Buddha who shot down Cheng Dalei with one palm was one of the dragon guards.

To put it simply, Yulongwei is a special force trained by the Ming emperor at any cost.

Xiao Zhu sent his relatives out of the city, and he also brought a thousand defenders with him. This team will follow a convoy of Princess Mingyu until the opponent is sent to the royal city of the Rong family.

The person in charge of the bodyguard of the pro-team was a man named Gong Fu. As soon as the two sides contacted, Xiao Zhu felt the other's professionalism.

Xiao Zhu told the other party about the situation outside the customs. The implication is that the situation here is very complicated, and the journey will not be smooth.

Gong Fu didn't mean to look down on the local army, and listened carefully to Xiao Zhu's words, which made Xiao Zhu feel that he was very respected. Gong Fu recorded this information in the notebook, and discussed it with several other people. Everyone behaved very cautiously, and did not mean to underestimate the enemy, but did not show any fear.

"Help, help!"

The team was moving forward, and there was a call for help in the front, and there was a person hanging from a big locust tree on the side of the road.

Long black hair, green eyes, the key is that there is no clothing on his body. The satin-like body appeared in front of everyone, and everyone felt nothing but anger.

What a beast, willing to spoil such a beautiful woman.

"Someone, save her quickly." Xiao Zhu shouted.

"Slow." Gong Fu stopped him, staring cautiously at the woman on the tree.
