.    On the official road leading to the ferry in Jiankang, more than a dozen escorts pushed a small car with escort flags and walked forward in a hurry. A few people looked back from time to time, looking a bit solemn and worried.  , as if waiting for someone, and as if afraid of someone catching up.

    This official road is not the main thoroughfare in Jiankang, but due to the recent flood control, several main roads are very crowded with people and cars. Many villagers near Jiankang choose this simple, but still acceptable, road when entering the city.  Smooth ordinary official channels.  At this moment, there are many ordinary people on the official road. Judging from their clothes and belongings, most of them are ordinary villagers nearby. They either bring some things to the city to exchange for money, or they buy some things in the city and take them back. Relatively speaking,  There are not many merchants here. Even if there are, they are just a few sellers carrying burdens. They can barely be counted as upstream merchants, right?

    This group of escorts is quite eye-catching as they walk on the road. It is probably because they are rarely seen. Pedestrians passing by often glance at this group of people.  But it was just a look, and there was no provocation.

    This group of escorts did not appear to be very vicious when they arrived. They were calm and calm about the gazes of others. Except for looking back from time to time, they kept their heads down and hurried on their way the rest of the time. They behaved very normally.

    After seeing too much, it¡¯s nothing. Although I still feel that this group of escorts is a bit intrusive, they are very calm. These honest people have no reason to take the initiative to provoke them. After all, they carry swords and guns, which is not good at first sight.  provoke.

    With nothing going on all the way, the group quickly arrived at the ferry along the official road.

    Because many major ferries have been requisitioned by the imperial court recently, many people gathered at this small and inconspicuous ferry, waiting for the ferry to arrive.

    The arrival of this group of escorts caused a little commotion among the waiting crowd, but it soon became quiet again.  He watched silently as they parked the escort car aside, and a few of them who were afraid even took a few steps to stay away from them.

    They are all honest people, and they are naturally afraid of these people with swords.

    This group of escorts turned a blind eye to these people.  After surrounding the escort car, they rested next to the escort car. The two leading men walked to the side, and one of them whispered: "Brother. Why hasn't the princess come here yet? I said it from time to time"

    The man who was called the eldest brother waved his hand and looked around cautiously. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he turned back and scolded in a low voice: "What did you say? We are the escorts, we don't have to worry about other places."

    The big man who was scolded lowered his head and said yes, not daring to say any more.  He walked to the side, looked at the road, suddenly his expression changed, and he shouted out loud: "There are cavalry behind."

    The elder brother who was the leader looked surprised.  In a blink of an eye, he looked towards the road he had come from, and sure enough, there was a cloud of smoke and dust billowing over there, and an urgent sound of horse hooves coming from far and near.  It gradually became clear.

    The eldest brother looked around and saw people on both sides of the official road running away. Some of the people waiting at the ferry also noticed something was wrong. They looked at the billowing smoke and shouted loudly. A well-informed young man said disapprovingly.  One sentence: "What is it called? This is the cavalry. I don't even know this."

    Large groups of war horses have always been rare in the Song Dynasty.  Even if there is.  They are also mostly in border areas.  The emergence of large-scale war horses in Jiankang was only after Zhao Yun came to power.  But it was the first time that so many war horses appeared on this remote official road.  These ordinary people would enter the city a few times a year at most. Except by chance, they would go there specifically to see the scene of a large group of cavalry galloping. At most, they would only hear such things from others.

    At this moment, when the salesman said this, he pulled his neck and looked over there as if it was something strange. There were also a few people who had seen it before. They were bragging to their companions about how majestic the cavalry of the Song Dynasty was, etc., which aroused the curiosity of these people.  The heart is even more so.

    The cavalry galloped very fast. Amidst the shouts of the cavalrymen who were clearing the way ahead, a large group of cavalry rushed straight towards the ferry.

    This group of cavalry numbered hundreds. They were constantly riding horses at a very high speed. Even during the rapid attack, they still maintained a rough attack formation. Their weapons were all in convenient positions, ready to launch an attack at any time.

    The sharp sound of horse hooves, like the urging of war drums, made the hearts of these people beat fast. When they saw them running straight towards them without slowing down, their hearts suddenly rose in their throats: They won't just be like this.  Come over here?

    While they were on tenterhooks, the group of cavalry suddenly slowed down and dispersed, encircling the group in a semi-encirclement. The leader was a female general, who was the commander of the Guards Qingqi who was ordered to pursue the pursuit - Qiu Shan Wangxue.

    This group of people didn't know why they were surrounding them. Their original mood of watching the excitement was instantly wrapped up in worry. They looked at the cavalry with panic in their eyes, not knowing what to do for a while.

    After Qiu Shan Wangxue surrounded them, another group of cavalry chased behind them. The leader was Mengxue. As soon as he saw Wangxue, he shouted: "That guy doesn't know anything. It's a waste of time."

    Wangxue ignored her,On the horse, his vigilant and majestic eyes swept over this group of people, and then stopped at the group of escorts. He just looked at them without saying a word, but there was an invisible aura that made everyone subconsciously hold their breath.  He was angry, for fear that his breathing would be loud and attract the attention of the cavalry.

    Maybe it was because he felt uncomfortable being stared at like this, or something else. The elder brother who was the leader stood up and said with a choked neck: "General, I am Mo Da, the bodyguard of Longhu Escort Bureau. What do you want to ask the general?"

    Wangxue said nothing, and with a wave of his hand, a group of cavalry came out to separate the group of bodyguards from the common people.  Such an action caused the complexion of the bodyguards to change drastically, and several of them involuntarily grasped the handles of their knives.

    When Mo Dachang arrived, he became calm and said calmly: "Could it be that the general is interested in this batch of red goods that Mo has protected? As long as the general opens his mouth, Mo is willing to do a favor and give all the proceeds from the bodyguard to the general, but this batch of red goods  The goods are related to the reputation of the escort agency, please show your noble hand, general." These words were neither humble nor overbearing, and the words were full of emotion. The uninformed people couldn't help but look at Wangxue, subconsciously classifying her as a ruffian who practiced violence and extortion.  There were even a few poor literati who looked at Wangxue with disdain, which made Mengxue's eyebrows stand up. She was about to curse, but Wangxue reached out to stop her.

    She casually glanced at the crowd, and everyone who met her eyes felt a sharpness like a knife, and subconsciously wanted to avoid her.

    Wang Xue finally stopped at Mo Da.  There was a sense of coldness and murderous intent.

    Mo Da, who was originally calm, looked unnatural, and still smiled confidently: "Why doesn't the general speak? Is it because he is dissatisfied with the remuneration paid by Mo?"

    Wangxue didn¡¯t answer at all, and said lightly: ¡°Where is Wanyan Yunhua?¡±

    Hearing this name, several escorts who could not hold their breath trembled slightly.  Pressing the circlip of the weapon, he was ready to take action at any time, but Mo Da showed a blank expression.  Looking around, and finally looking back at Wangxue, he said inexplicably: "Is the general talking to Mo? Who is Wanyan Yunhua? The name sounds like he is from the Jin country? Mo has traveled all over the country and has never dealt with anyone from the Jin country.  , General, could it be that you have found the wrong person?"

    Wangxue smiled slightly, raised his hand, and the cavalry surrounding the escorts tacitly drew their bows and loaded arrows, and then aimed at the group of escorts.  The three-sided arrow radiating cold light shone brightly, making people's hearts feel cold.

    With such a posture, everyone knew that it was not good. Mo Da, who was still calm at first, finally changed his expression.  He shouted loudly: "General, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to kill people and get goods? There are so many people here. If the general does this, isn't he afraid of military punishment?"

    "Where is Wanyan Yunhua?" Wangxue was not affected by his words at all and still looked at him indifferently.  Don't be impatient or impatient.

    "Fight them."

    Mo Dazheng was about to open his mouth, and a dart master who couldn't stand the pressure in the back pulled out the steel knife, howling and rushing forward.  A look of great anger and regret flashed past. He stopped talking nonsense and drew his weapon. He was about to charge forward when he heard the sound of whooshing.  Several bodyguards who had just jumped out were filled with arrows and fell back.  Not even a hum.  He becomes the victim of an injustice.

    The remaining bodyguards were frightened for a moment and took out their weapons.  Looking at the cavalry with their bows full again, they suddenly felt hesitant.

    Mo Da¡¯s hand holding the weapon was also trembling. He looked back at his timid men and then at the cavalry waiting in formation, feeling hesitant and undecided in his heart.

    Just at this moment, there was a sudden noise in the distance. About dozens of men in black clothes with messy clothes and panic-looking faces rushed out of the woods not far away and stumbled towards the ferry.

    The tall man in black at the head, holding a steel knife in his hand, ran the fastest. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to a distance of less than a hundred steps from the ferry. However, at this moment, he found a row of cavalry silently parked in front of him. He was suddenly shocked.  He stopped and looked at them blankly.

    Wangxue tilted her eyes in that direction and casually ordered: "Mengxue, send them away."

    Mengxue agreed excitedly, and with a wave of her spear, the subordinates around her didn't even say hello, but waved their sabers and rushed towards the group of men in black.

    The man in black at the head of the group laughed miserably and yelled: "F*ck, the officers and soldiers are still ambushing me here. You are fighting against me as brothers. You will still be a hero in your next life." The group of men in black behind them said tragically.  With a roar, he followed the big man and rushed forward.

    Those who followed Mengxue in the charge were the elite of the Guards Qingqi, and they were also the warriors who followed her in and out of the enemy formation. They had extremely rich combat skills and experience.  Without Mengxue giving any orders, these cavalrymen rushed towards the formation of the men in black, scattered them, and surrounded and killed them separately.  Mengxue, in particular, was killing like crazy with her long spear.

    Although this group of men in black resisted desperately, there was their opponent. Amidst continuous screams, the black peoplePeople fell to the ground one after another.

    The waving steel swords, the dazzling spears, the tacit cooperation, the consistent advance and retreat, and the agility of one body. This cavalry attack method inflicted devastating damage to this group of men in black. It is the kind of force that can be seen in the front line of life and death with thousands of troops.  The skillful skills they have cultivated, coupled with this brave and fast charge, make this group of men in black miserable like a ragtag group.

    Flesh and blood were flying everywhere, and they were wailing. In less than a moment, the group of men in black were completely wiped out.

    At this time, another group of Song troops rushed out from the woods where the men in black came out, but they were infantry. When they saw the men in black lying dead, they were stunned for a moment before sending an officer out to negotiate.

    After some conversation, Mengxue figured out that this infantry belonged to the Huanglong Legion. They also received orders to cooperate with the search and killing of Wanyan Yunhua. As a result, most of the rebels from the Piaotian Literature Network were killed during the battle between the two sides, leaving only these  The group of people fled into the woods and chased them all the way, but Mengxue and the others took advantage of them.

    Wangxue smiled slightly when he learned what had happened. This time they searched the city on a large scale. Although Wanyan Yunhua had not been found yet, they had caught many big thieves and habitual bandits. Now there were even some rebels who had slipped through the net. It was really lively.

    "I am Qiu Shan Wangxue, you bring these people back." The Three Guards Army was nominally affiliated with the Huanglong Legion and was considered one of their own, so Wangxue graciously gave up this credit.

    The leader of the Qianren team was overjoyed when he heard this. He recognized Qiushan Wangxue and also knew the other party¡¯s background.  Although he had made great contributions this time when he discovered that he had slipped through the net and betrayed the party, if Wangxue insisted on taking the credit for himself, he had no choice. Now that the other party was so generous, he did not show any pretense. He thanked him a few times and let him  The subordinates took the group of people away and simply bandaged those who were injured. Those who were already dead were asked to take the bodies with them.  These are all military achievements. Although he did not do it himself, when the time comes to show off his merits in front of his superiors and mention the merits of the Guards Qingqiu, will his superiors really give them the credit?

    Thinking of this, the thousand-man leader was even more grateful to Wangxue. When he learned that they also had a mission, he also took the initiative to ask for help and surrounded the group of people waiting to cross the river, waiting for Wangxue to identify them.

    From the time these men in black appeared to the time they were annihilated, the whole process only lasted a moment at most.  The combat prowess displayed by the Guards Qingqi unintentionally made Mo Da swallow his saliva nervously. When he saw the other Qingqi soldiers still surrounding him and not affected at all, he wisely threw away his weapons and said loudly: "I surrender.  "The remaining bodyguards behind them also hurriedly dropped their weapons, their expressions were panicked, and they no longer had the previous madness.

    Wangxue glanced at them coldly, then rode up to Mo Da and asked again: "Where is Wanyan Yunhua?"

    ???????????? I feel like I¡¯m being pricked by needles, and I don¡¯t want to say anything, but seeing that the other party is so sure, if I continue to argue, I¡¯m afraid that I will soon end up with my body and head missing.

    After weighing the situation, he gritted his teeth: Forget it, the princess also said that if he is discovered, he will just surrender. I will also follow the princess's instructions.

    No longer thinking about it, Mo Da looked up at Wang Xue, hesitated slightly, and shook his head: "The princess originally said to wait here, but she didn't show up. The villain doesn't know where the princess is now."

    Wangxue looked at him for a moment and waved his hand: "Take him back."

    A group of cavalry came forward, tied up Mo Da and the others, and then led them back to the city.  When I opened the escort car, as expected, it was empty.

    Wangxue then carefully screened the group of people waiting for the ferry, but didn't find much, so he had to let them go.  Just at this time, the ferry also came back. After several soldiers went up to check, they shook their heads at Wangxue and walked back disappointed.

    Seeing the ferry carrying a group of people away, Wangxue snorted unwillingly, got on his horse, and chased in the other direction.

    With the rumble of hoofbeats, passers-by hurriedly took cover, and the flying dust gradually obscured the official road, leaving behind a flying gray dragon.
