The appearance of Xie Yan instantly relieved Master Jin's tense nerves. From the very beginning, he felt that this person was not simple, but now when he heard Xie Yan's words, he put his heart back into his stomach.

But the horse bandits laughed one by one.

The leader even laughed and said: "It's just a little boy who dares to speak wild words, look at Grandpa, I won't chop off your head and pour wine!"

While speaking, he saw Gu Ning wearing a veiled hat not far away.

Even if the long veiled hat covered it, it couldn't hide the beauty's slender figure. Under the sparse sunlight, she looked like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world, causing the tyrannical factor flowing in the horse bandit's blood to churn instantly.

The horse bandit's eyes were unobstructed, and he looked at Gu Ning with interest, his whole face filled with desire.

Xie Yan, who was originally indifferent, drew out his long sword without hesitation, and stabbed him in the chest with lightning speed. Until the last moment before he died, the horse bandit did not see when he made the move.

Following Xie Yan's movements, there was movement in those dense forests. Apart from hundreds of horse bandits, there were also many tall men in black clothes. After a while, of the hundreds of horse bandits, only a few were left alive.

When had Jin Huan seen such a scene? He tremblingly supported the tree trunk beside him, and asked in a very low voice: "Where did these people come from? Could it be that they were also hunting..."

"What are you thinking?" Yue Rong held the knife in his hand, disdainful, "These are all our people. In order to prevent the team from being too large, they followed in secret."

Jin Huan nodded, then looked at Xie Yan standing among the dead bodies in shock, and said in a trembling voice, "I'm afraid there are no fewer than 500 people? Is Mr. Xie some kind of Lord?"

According to the laws of the state of Chu, only those with titles can have so many accompanying guards.

Yue Rong touched his nose embarrassingly, not knowing how to answer.

He couldn't say that these people were used to protect Gu Ning. Thinking of this, he turned his attention to Xie Yan: "Master..."

This question can only be answered by Xie Yan.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Xie Yan finally turned around.

As soon as Jin Huan saw him, the smile on his face was full: "Mr. Xie, thank you very much this time! Without you, the lives of our group would be lost! This is all brought by our trip. If you have anything interesting, just take it back with you!"

While talking, he trotted into his convoy, and lifted off the thick cover, the golden light inside almost blinded Yue Rong's eyes.

"Master Jin, I can't see it!" Yue Rong looked at Jin Huan carefully and said with emotion, "No wonder these horse bandits have chased you for more than 1000 miles, no matter where these gold, silver and jewelry are placed, they will make people greedy." !"

Jin Huan smiled and complimented: "Yue Huwei, if you have something you like, you can take it!"

But Yue Rong waved his hand and stood aside respectfully, waiting for Xie Yan to speak.

Xie Yan walked up to Jin Huan, the tall figure made Jin Huan feel oppressed, a smile appeared on his chubby face: "Mr. Xie, even if you want to take it all away, I am willing to give it to you! "

He really didn't dare to look at her with such eyes.

After a long while, Xie Yan let out a soft snort from his thin lips: "It's probably not ordinary gold and silver that can be chased by horse bandits from thousands of miles away. Master Jin, what kind of treasure do you have on you?"

Xie Yan's words left a cold sweat on Jin Huan's forehead.

His eyes were lowered to the ground, not daring to look at Xie Yan, and whispered: "It's really just such a little thing, I'm just an ordinary businessman, how can I get any treasures that people flock to?"

"That's not necessarily the case." Xie Yan said meaningfully, "It may not be gold, silver or jewelry that makes the horse bandits flock to it, maybe... it's just medicinal materials?"

Jin Huan could no longer hold back the smile on his face. He supported the carriage, put all his strength on the carriage, and lost all strength: "How do you know?"

Xie Yan didn't answer, the person behind him walked over with a murderous look, easily picked up a person, and threw it on the ground.

Jin Huan was so frightened that he leaned closer to the carriage, wishing he could become one with the carriage and not face such a threat.

"I... I, I, I recruit!" Jin Huan was so frightened that his voice became hoarse, "It's a medicinal material that we found by accident. It's called phaseless ginseng. We heard that phaseless ginseng is extremely expensive, so They took it away, who knew that the group of horse bandits also thought about this medicinal material and chased us all the way, even if we took the initiative to offer Wuxiang Qigins, they would not let us go."

"Both left and right are dead, we might as well take a gamble, what if we are lucky?" Jin Huan said, tears streaming out uncontrollably, "Who knows that even if they return to the pass, even if they have passed through Yuezhou, they Still won't let us go."

Everyone around was emptied, only Xie Yan and Jin Huan.

Others saw Xie Yan and Jin Huan together, Jin Huan was crying bitterly, Xie Yan looked stern.

Gu Ning thumped in his heart, and subconsciously pulled Chunyu's sleeve: "Can you hear what they are saying?"

Jin Huan is a good helper for her to find Xie Yan, so she can't let Xie Yan offend him now.

"Slaves are incompetent." Chunyu said in a low voice, "I'm afraid only Mr. Xie can hear it from such a long distance."

Hearing this, Gu Ning blinked his eyes, subconsciously glanced at Xie Yan, wondering if it was her illusion, Xie Yan seemed to be able to hear their conversation.

Chunyu still wanted to talk, but she saw Gu Ning waved at her, and walked towards Xie Yan in stride.

At this time, Xie Yan was finishing his conversation with Jin Huan. Although Jin Huan's expression became more relaxed, the tears on his face were still wet, which contrasted with his white and fat face, making him look very pitiful.

The guards around did not dare to take a step forward, only Gu Ning was not afraid of Xie Yan's power, walked briskly, and walked directly to Xie Yan's side.

"What are you talking to Mr. Jin? How did you scare people into such a state?" Gu Ning complained, "Didn't I tell you that this Jin Huan is a talented person, if he can be used by us, in the future It might help a lot.”

Hearing this, Xie Yan's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and she got some other meanings from Gu Ning's words.

Gu Ning's words meant that he was against Chu Yunyi, or... against the current emperor?

However, Gu Ning Taohua's eyes were extremely clear, as if everything was just Xie Yan thinking too much.

After a moment of silence, Xie Yan said: "Jin Huan has a good character and ability. He is indeed a usable person."

"Do you know why those horse bandits chased him down?"

"Why?"

"In order to have no phase."

"No phase strange ginseng?"

Gu Ning's eyes widened, recalling what Doctor Zhou said before, and murmured, "But Doctor Zhou said, a treasure like Wuxiang Qishen is rare to see in a hundred years, so how could it be..."

"When the phaseless ginseng was sent to the state of Chu, it was a hundred years ago." Xie Yan replied, "Jin Huan was on the trade route leading to the Western Regions. Although the chances of participating are small, they are not completely absent, and the reaction of the gang of horse bandits is the best evidence."

Hearing Xie Yan's words, Gu Ning's beautiful eyes stared: "No! What do those horse bandits want Wuxiang ginseng? Although Wuxiang ginseng is precious, for horse bandits, a medicinal material that may not be sold at a price Compared with a large number of gold and silver jewelry, the latter is undoubtedly more practical."

"Furthermore, Jin Huan also said that the group of bandits had a very clear goal, that is, to get the unidentified ginseng. Even if they were willing to offer the unrecognized ginseng, they still wanted to kill people." Xie Yan suddenly sneered, " In this way, it must be that they have a big customer behind them."

"I heard that the horse bandits outside the customs are all connected with the Huns..." Gu Ning leaned in front of Xie Yan, his side face looked like the best suet jade in the sun, warm and fair, "Could it be that something happened to the Huns?" thing?"

"Looking at the Xiongnu's movements in recent years is much more urgent than before. There is only one who can make them have such a big change." Xie Yan's stern expression melted like ice and snow, and a faint light appeared on his handsome fair face. smile.

Gu Ning's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood the unfinished meaning of Xie Yan's words: "It's the King of the Huns!"

"The Xiongnu king had a physical problem, so Wuxiang Qishen was needed to save his life. This also explained why the horse bandits were so obsessed with Wu Xiangqishen, and even wanted to kill him to silence him!"

"This is great news for us! The reason why the Huns are rampant is inseparable from the King of the Huns. If the King of the Huns dies, they will lose their backbone and their morale will be greatly reduced!"

Xie Yan had a smile in his eyes, and when he saw Gu Ning circling excitedly, still chanting words, he felt that Gu Ning was extremely cute.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed Gu Ning's head, his voice was as gentle as the softest wind in spring: "Ning'er is right, it's time for us to bring this news back."

Not far away, Jin Huan rubbed his red eyes: "Is that really the county lord of Changning?"

"It's guaranteed to be fake!" Yue Rong said loudly, "Who else can have a large number of guards at a young age except the Changning County Lord!"

Hearing this, Jin Huan murmured in a low voice, "But why did I hear that Changning County Lord is not married yet? I saw Mr. Xie and Changning County Lord... they are clearly husband and wife!"

Hearing this, Yue Rong immediately swallowed back the words that came to his lips, and said in a guilty tone: "When you go out, you always have to put on more disguises. If someone knows the true identity of the county lord, there is no guarantee that the escaped bandits will set up an ambush secretly. Calculate the county magistrate."

"You're right." Jin Huan nodded, "Those bandits are the most cunning and vengeful, but you must cover up this identity! I saw Mr. Xie pretending to be very similar, if it weren't for you and I said the reason, and I would have mistaken them for a real couple!"

Yue Rong smiled guilty, subconsciously took a step forward, blocking Jin Huan's view of the two.
