The carriage moved slowly under the thunder and rain, its shaft running over the muddy ground. Pei Jiaoran was sitting quietly in the car making tea when a line of sight passed by her face.

The sound of horses' hooves never stops.

Beyond the front is the canyon in Shalu Mountain, which is a good place to set up an ambush. Thinking of this, Pei Jiaoran lifted the curtain and looked out, raising the tip of his lips.

She tapped the window frame with her finger. The Jinwu Guards sergeant who was guarding the side drove his horse closer and said, "What are your orders, Mr. Pei?"

"There is fear of heavy rain, so the whole army is ordered to observe martial law."

"Here."

With a command, the sound of horse hooves sounds from far to near. Pei Jiaoran turned his head and glanced at Tian Zizhan, who was sitting upright.

"Brother Zizhan, do you want to be Chen Qingzhi or Tan Daoji?" Pei Jiaoran asked with a smile.

"Tan Daoji boasted of the Great Wall of the Liu Song Dynasty, but he died in the struggle for imperial power. I would rather be Chen Qingzhi..." Tian Zizhan took out the sword from his waist and said, "Today, I will protect Xianggong Pei."

"it is good."

Tian Zizhan opened the curtain and got out of the carriage. The moment the curtain was lifted, Pei Jiaoran saw the crowd of people in the distance, his eyes filled with ridicule.

"The entire army faces the enemy!"

Tian Zizhan gave an order, and Sergeant Wei Bo and Jin Wuwei, who were wearing raincoats and bamboo hats, quickly formed a formation around Pei Jiaoran's car.

Through the curtains, we could vaguely see that the enemy troops were close to three shots. Pei Jiaoran took out the Chunjun sword that she had hidden under the cushion, and slowly stroked the sword's spine with her fingers.

The leading general suddenly reined in his horse. It seems that Tian Zizhan did not expect that Tian Zizhan would personally come out to protect the imperial envoys. He also saw that the opponent's formation was strict, but the armor system was different, which was quite funny.

"The spearmen formed a formation to attack the enemy, and the cavalry rushed to its flanks. Whoever takes Pei Jiaoran's head first will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!" the leading general gave the order.

Tian Zizhan sighed, "Uncle Zhou Xu, you also taught me the art of riding and shooting in the past, and I admire you in my heart. But why do you do such a rebellious thing now?"

"Zizhan, the imperial court wants to swallow me up, Wei Bo. If we just surrender, it will be a waste of our ancestors' inheritance." Zhou Xu glanced at the iron barrel-like carriage that was being guarded, "My dear nephew, you and I will kill Pei Jiaoran. The imperial court’s current situation will definitely mean that it will not dare to send troops for a hundred years.”

Pei Jiaoran in the carriage couldn't help but sigh when he heard the words. He opened the curtain and said lazily: "Brother Zizhan, there is no need to talk nonsense with him. Kill these traitors and you can regain the power of commander."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Jiaoran retreated into the carriage.

Zhou Xu stared at Pei Jiaoran and ordered the troops to march.

Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes when he heard the neat footsteps and the sound of bugles and drums outside the car. Although the army led by Zhou Xu was small in number, at first glance, it seemed that they were more well-trained than Tian Zizhan's people. Listening to the noise now, it should be that the spearmen formed a sudden formation and were approaching them.

The opponent's spearmen advanced, and their own organic sound amplification reached their ears. This was the crossbow she had specially asked Tian Zizhan to send someone to prepare before going out, and all the accompanying soldiers were equipped with crossbows. Previously, she asked Tian Zizhan who the other party was most likely to send and what his combat habits were.

Zhou Xusu likes to use spearmen, but Tian Zizhan's array. The shield soldiers are in front, the spearmen are hidden in the middle, and the crossbowmen are behind. As long as the opponent's spearmen advance and the crossbowmen shoot them with crossbows, the spearmen's sudden attack is tantamount to seeking death.

Not long after the gold and iron battle, the rapid sound of bugles came from the opponent's formation. The signal for a change of formation also sounded on our own side. After all, the gun is a weapon controlled by the imperial court, and it is specially made, so it usually does not have a lot of gun ammunition.

After facing the first wave of cavalry attacks, if you want to be effective again, you have to switch to a ballista that can fire several arrows at the same time.

Seeing the opponent's cavalry rushing over, Pei Jiaoran grasped the Chunjun sword.

Soldiers clashed with each other, and the sound of wailing could be heard.

Pei Jiaoran sighed when he heard the sound.

The two sides were originally brothers and sisters, but they became victims of the struggle of the superiors. It is sad.

There was blood splashing on the curtain, and Pei Jiaoran looked away without saying a word.

The rain outside the car showed no intention of stopping.

Zhou Xu in the distance couldn't help but feel contempt when he saw the carriage looking as calm as a mountain despite the weather. While gesturing to the general beside him, he patted his horse and rushed forward.

"Ms. Pei is so ruthless. He actually let these young boys protect you. Look, they can't even hold the gun steady, so why are they killing people! Boys, pick up the knives in your hands and chop Pei Jiaoran. My general will be heavily rewarded!"

Tian Zizhan was fighting fiercely with others when he saw Zhou Xu leading a group of troops to raid Pei Jiaoran's car, and pursed his lips. He still didn't believe that Mr. Pei, who was a civil servant, could stop Zhou Xu, who had experienced hundreds of battles.

But remembering Pei Jiaoran's instructions, he could only pretend to be entangled by the opponent's spearmen. There was no way to guard against Zhou Xu's sneak attack.

Seeing Zhou Xu getting closer and closer to the carriage, Tian Zizhan's heart picked up and he looked worried again. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Mr. Pei, be careful!"

A chuckle came from inside the carriage.

The sword in Zhou Xu's hand had already passed through the car curtain, but he saw a bright sword light coming out of the car. The gorgeous curtains fell in half, and the person inside the car was dressed in a luxurious purple robe, holding a long sword, and looked at him with a smile.

The long sword was placed on Sui, resisting Sui's attack. The sword wrapped around the dragon's roar made Zhou Xu's hands numb.

The generals who rushed over with Zhou Xu were many brave and good at fighting. When they saw this situation, they both attacked Pei Jiaoran.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the two men's offensive, and Pei Jiaoran suddenly pushed forward with the long sword in his hand. Zhou Xu took a few steps back.

Seeing that he was repulsed by a civil servant, Zhou Xu was stunned. But at a critical moment, although he made arrangements in his heart, he still looked calm on his face, "You actually know how to use martial arts?"

Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and said, "We, the Wei Dynasty, are full of martial virtue, let alone a third-rank official. Even a seventh-rank county magistrate requires martial arts, so that we can protect ourselves."

"So what if you practice martial arts? Today is the day of your death. It's a pity that Mr. Pei has learned so much." Zhou Xu once again raised his spear and stabbed Pei Jiaoran.

Pei Jiaoran avoided Zhou Xu's big blow, took the opportunity to jump out of the window, and killed the opponent's sergeant with a sword. He grabbed the horse and ran towards Tian Zizhan.

"Ms. Pei, are you okay?" Seeing that Pei Jiaoran was out of trouble, Tian Zizhan breathed a sigh of relief and said warmly.

"It doesn't matter."

The two of them were talking about the scouts arranged by Tian Zizhan to explore the enemy's situation on the high ground, when they suddenly waved their command flags.

Looking at the waving flag, Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes.

"There is a situation."

"Yes." Pei Jiaoran responded lightly.

Zhou Xu, who failed to make a single attack, looked at the troops running in the distance, and looked at Pei Jiaoran with sympathy in his eyes, "Ms. Pei, do you have any last words to say?"

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "Last words? It's not yet known who will die. It may not be me."

"Mr. Pei, you are blocking the way of others. We are not the only ones who want to kill you today." Zhou Xu's eyes showed regret, "Mr. Pei, remember to think more about why he died on the way to Huangquan."

After looking at Zhou Xu amusedly, Pei Jiaoran turned to look at the team that was getting closer and closer to him.

Only someone in that team was heard shouting.

"By order of the head of the family, I am here to protect Mr. Pei Zhou."
