"Your Highness over there!" the leading barbarian spoke unprofessional Daqi dialect, "If you want his life, put down your weapons!"

Meng Wenbin stopped fighting, looked up at Rong Jue, and waited for his order.

Meng Liren frowned. The Manjin people definitely can't stay, but Liu An is in their hands, as Emperor Tongxi's special envoy, he must not have any accidents.Otherwise, Mobei would probably be labeled as ignoring the emperor's order. To put it seriously, rebellion is okay.

Now that Liu An is in the hands of the barbarians, they dare not act rashly.

Meng Liren led the men to narrow the encirclement step by step, and the Manjin man moved slightly on his toes, clenched the weapon in his hand and looked at them vigilantly.

The barbarian leader pulled Liu An and another eunuch out of the carriage, and said harshly, "Let us go, or they will die!"

Before Rong Jue had time to speak, Meng Wenbin rushed to say: "Dream!"

Liu An's body trembled violently, and he screamed, "His Royal Highness, save me!"

He was trembling, the barbarian leader's knife was still on his neck.

"Don't move!" He shouted, and red blood soon oozed from Liu An's neck.

Meng Liren said: "If you let them go, we will let you go naturally."

The leader of the barbarians looked at Rong Jue without answering.

He is very clear that although Rong Jue is the youngest among these Daqi people, he has the highest status.

Rong Jue pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and said, "Let him go!"

The encirclement circle quickly let go of a gap, and the barbarian held Liu An and the little eunuch in satisfaction, and retreated towards the dense forest behind him.

Seeing that all the Manjin people were about to withdraw, but Liu An was still in their hands, Rong Jue said, "You should let them go too."

"Thank you, Your Highness." The leader of the barbarian Jin laughed fiercely, kicked Liu An forward, and picked up the little eunuch in his hand, "I didn't say to release both of them. This one will be released after we go out!"

Liu An was kicked down by him, Yuan De hurried over to help him.Seeing another little eunuch still struggling in the hands of the barbarian man, Yuan De said anxiously: "It was agreed to let him go, how can you keep your word?!"

The other barbarians had already withdrawn safely. After the barbarian leader died, he grinned harshly after hearing his words, "So what?"

Seeing him grabbing a cloth bag at his waist, the surrounding people dispersed quickly, and they did not forget to drag Yuan De and Liu An away before leaving.

Pretty gold and wonder medicine.There was a barbarian who used himself as a bait to lure tens of thousands of people to chase him down. In the end, he took a strange medicine and blew himself up, along with those who chased him down, to pieces.

It's better to be careful.

Seeing them like this, the leader of the barbarians became even more arrogant. He quacked and said, "I'm afraid now, is it too late?"

He sprinkled all the medicine powder in the cloth bag on the knife, and retreated while leading the little eunuch. When he was only one step away from the dense forest behind him, he tied the knife to the little eunuch, threw it hard, and threw the little eunuch directly away in the air.

The knife flew across the air quickly, bringing out sparks and burning.Everyone had never seen such a scene before, and they all exclaimed.

The little eunuch cried heart-piercingly in the air, his clothes were burnt to ashes and fell down, the air was filled with a choking smell of burnt meat.

"Your Highness!" The knife was heading towards Rong Jue's direction. Seeing that the situation was not good, Meng Wenbin jumped up to intercept the flying knife.

"It's bad!" Rong Jue came back to his senses, the rare medicine was strange and vicious, Meng Wenbin was afraid that it would be dangerous if he encountered it, "Don't move! Don't touch that knife!"

Xiaobai screamed, and caught up with the fire.

"Xiaobai, come back!" Rong Jue immediately jumped off the roof of the station building, ignoring the little eunuch now.As soon as his foot landed, the knife plunged into the station, bringing a raging fire.

The post station has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is a wooden building. After years of sun and rain, the inside is already fragile and hollow, and it will burn up with a spark.

In a blink of an eye, the post station was surrounded by flames, Rong Jue's face was ashen, staring at one point, silent.Xiaobai hovered above the post station, not leaving for a long time.

Bai Lu ran out from behind, she didn't know martial arts, so she found a safe place to hide early in the morning.Now the barbarian retreated, she heard the sound and came out, seeing Rong Jue motionless, and then heard the faint cry coming from the sea of ​​flames, she couldn't help but thumped in her heart.

Taking three steps at a time, she flew to cover Rong Jue's eyes, and put her head next to Rong Jue's ear: "Your Highness, don't look."

Meng Wenbin knelt beside him, the veins in the hand holding the sword were bulging, his head was lowered, he opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

Liu An's face was still in shock. Seeing such a terrifying scene, he stammered with trembling lips, "How could this be..."

Yuan De ran to Meng Liren's side and hugged his thigh: "General, is there really no other way? Can't we save him?"

Meng Liren helped him up, but did not reply for a long time.

Yuan De lost and fell to the ground.

The flames shot up into the sky, and the old post finally couldn't maintain its airs, and fell down with a bang.Gradually, there was no other sound except the sound of cracking wood.

A ray of white line lit up from the sky, and dawn finally came, and the bright sunlight penetrated into Juxia Ridge through the gaps in the leaves.The blood mist receded and before the dew dawned, a drop of bloody dew dripped before Liu An's eyes.

Liu An blinked and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness already knew that there were barbarians in Juxialing, why didn't you tell us earlier and report it to the court, and the government will naturally send people to clean it up."

Meng Liren was closing his eyes and resting with others after finishing the casualty statistics. Hearing this, he opened his eyes suddenly and said mockingly, "Why not? Your Majesty thinks we are making a fuss out of a molehill and ignores it. We have no choice but to resort to this trick."

Meng Wenbin looked at Rong Jue, and said softly: "There are still many barbarians who have escaped, are you still chasing them?"

"There is a saying in the art of war, don't enter the forest, don't chase after the poor. We have already committed a taboo, we should leave Juxialing as soon as possible." Rong Jue swept towards Yuan De who was weeping, and patted him on the shoulder, "Sorrow. "

The terrain of Juxia Ridge is complicated, and the barbarian has been entrenched here for an unknown period of time. The terrain is probably more familiar than them, and if he continues to chase, he may be caught in an ambush.

Yuan De raised his eyes hastily, his eye sockets were already red, he might have cried all night.

Rong Jue: "Sorry, this barbarian can't chase after him anymore..."

Yuan De shook his head, walked to the other side and sat down with his legs crossed. He wanted to be alone.

"Let's rest in place," Rong Jue ordered, "Let's set off after Yuan De recovers."

Bai Lu brought a bowl of water for Rong Jue, after hearing what he said, she turned around and handed another bowl of water to Yuan De: "I heard that drinking some water will make you feel better, do you want to try it?"

"Thank you." Yuan De sniffled, trying to restrain his tears.

Bai Lu said softly, "It's okay."

"He entered the palace in the same batch as me, and he managed to make it through. He thought he could go up this time, but he didn't expect..." Seeing Bai Lu's gentleness and gentleness, Yuan De was sobbing and said what was in his heart said it.

The trip to Mobei was extremely difficult, not an easy task.Even Liu An came to Mobei with the mentality of fighting hard.

The sun rose slowly, and the sky and the earth were bright.

Black smoke billowed from behind the station, and the soil under his feet was mixed with blood, exuding a disgusting bloody smell.Xiaobai stood on the ruins and yelled a few times, and was forced into the carriage by Rong Jue. The driver swung his whip, and the wheels rolled over, leaving two deep ruts.

After leaving Juxia Ridge, Meng Liren bid farewell to Rong Jue with his elite soldiers. They wanted to go back from Lingjiang by detour, but they had to go back quietly, so they could only cross the river pretending to be ordinary people.

Before leaving, Meng Liren gave Meng Wenbin a few words, clasped his fists to Rong Jue and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, the mountains are high and the rivers are long. Although Dingjing is warm, fragrant, nephrite, and prosperous, the snow and frost in Mobei can wear you down." To train people's will. I hope that when His Highness returns, he can still endure the harsh wind and snow in Mobei."

"Thank you, General Meng!" Rong Jue replied, "Rong Jue will never forget that Mobei was the place where I was born and raised."

"One hundred thousand men in Mobei are waiting for your return!"

Satisfied, Meng Liren jumped on his horse and led the elite soldiers to a distant place.

Looking at the black spot in the distance, Rong Jue firmly said: "Give me an order to go to Dingjing!"

"Yes!" Meng Wenbin tightened the reins, and the sitting horse let out a long roar, and he said loudly, "All listen to the order, turn around and go to Dingjing!"

For the rest of the journey, Liu An and Yuan De remained silent until they arrived in Dingjing.

When they arrived in Dingjing, they had already waited for a long time at the gate of the city. After receiving Liu An's token, they hurriedly sent people into the palace to report.

When Rong Jue arrived at Prince Rong's Mansion in Dingjing, as soon as his feet hit the ground, the big eunuch who came to greet him brought eight young eunuchs and eight young maids to salute him, and pointed to the large group behind him saying yes. He sent.

Dingjing also has Prince Rong's Mansion, the biggest function is that King Rong can settle down when he goes to Beijing to report on his duties.Although the Prince Rong's Mansion in the capital is not as small as Yunzhou's, it is not small. Since the master is away all year round, only a few servants are left to take care of it.

For the sake of his precious son, Rong Xu almost packed up half of the Prince Rong's mansion in Yunzhou and brought it into the carriage. If he hadn't been unable to enter Beijing without summons, he would even have packed it himself.Therefore, when Rong Jue and his party arrived at Prince Rong's Mansion in Dingjing, the manpower they brought with them would inevitably be insufficient.

Bai Lu quickly came to her senses, and ordered these people to clean up and down Prince Rong's mansion. As for the luggage they brought, they did not touch their hands at all.

If there are no accidents, these people will be tired of doing these chores in the future.

——I wanted to put eyeliner on when I first came here, I'm afraid it's not that easy.

The leading eunuch's face froze for a moment, and he responded with a smile. He praised Bai Lu for his ability and said, "Your Majesty has been waiting for you in the palace early on. If His Royal Highness is settled, you can come into the palace with our family."

Hearing this, he secretly stretched out his hand to tug on Meng Wenbin, and said, "Our Highness is tired from traveling and traveling. It is a bit out of character to go to face the saint after coming to Dingjing without tidying up."

Disrespect in front of the imperial court, this crime can be big or small, Rong Jue has just come to Dingjing, before he finds out the attitude of Emperor Tong Xi, it is better to be careful.The status of Prince Rong's Mansion is detached, Emperor Tong Xi dare not do anything to Rong Jue, but Rong Jue wants to live here for a period of time, not just to get along with Emperor Tong Xi.The people in Dingjing are all good people, what attitude you have towards Emperor Xi will affect the attitude of other people towards Rong Jue.

Although Meng Wenbin couldn't quite understand what Bai Lu wanted him to do, he always remembered that Rong Jue was the first in everything, so he took a small step forward and stood in front of Rong Jue.
