please don't believe me

The water town and Jiangzhou are both in the south of the Yangtze River. It can't be said that they have traveled thousands of miles, but this trip is indeed more embarrassing.

The carriage was running on the official road, and the front and rear were simply dressed but skilled knights.Prince Tan was in the first half of the cavalry team. His horse was not outstanding in color, but it was a thousand-mile hussar that the emperor could name.If it hadn't been tamed by Prince Tan, it would not have seen other horses galloping ahead.

In the carriage, the stacks of books were all gone, replaced by a pile of cushions of various colors, either soft or moderately hard.It turned out that Prince Tan saw that it was necessary to speed up the horse, and in order to prevent the subversion—to be precise, to prevent the national division from being disbanded—he ordered people to prepare.Due to the temporary purchase, these cushions are basically the gentle and elegant embroiderers unique to Jiangnan.Sitting among these cushions, Dai Bowen really had nothing to say.

The prince is so sympathetic, what else does he want to do, what else can he do?

The speed of the cycling team has not been low because of fear that if it is late, there will be changes.Prince Tan was worried that the state teacher's body would not be able to keep up with this rhythm, so he asked the accompanying guards who knew medical skills to take the pulse. Unexpectedly, he not only survived, but also was in good spirits.

But there is still spirit left.The body of the national teacher used to be a person who didn't go out of the door and didn't go out. He was more mysterious than a boudoir girl. How could he stand this kind of bumpy journey.If it wasn't for Dai Bowen's ability to make himself go to bed early and sleep well every night, he might have become ill.

Fortunately, persistence always pays off. When two-thirds of the journey was over, Dai Bowen heard the guards say that they had gone three days ahead of schedule.

The night stars are flourishing, and the bonfire is lit. With so many roads in this world, it is the first time for Dai Bowen to come across camping.This place is between two towns, the terrain is good, and there are people selling tea in thatched shed during the day.At night, it becomes a camping point for travelers.

Counting Prince Tan, Dai Bowen and his party tonight, there are three small camps here.Everyone consciously stayed away from each other, and they belonged to the campfire where they could see each other, but they couldn't see the distance between their faces very clearly.

Dai Bowen sat down next to Prince Tan with the hot water leather bag that the guards poured into him.Prince Tan was looking at the map by the light of the fire, and ignored the movements nearby.

Dai Bowen looked at his face by the light of the fire, and after a while, he turned his head and smiled.

Then he unscrewed the cork from the leather pouch and took a sip of hot water.The warmth wading into the body with the water flow, it is really a kind of enjoyment in this cool wilderness, which makes people unable to help admiring.

After experiencing discomfort, Dai Bowen let out a sigh of relief when he knew the comfort of his daily life.

Prince Tan couldn't turn a blind eye to such a big commotion. He turned his head and said in a tone of command, "Go back to the carriage after you rest."

Dai Bowen also turned his head to look at him: "Look at the prince's complexion just now, but the journey is different?"

Prince Tan's expression remained unchanged: "Is it useful to tell you?"

When we were working together, we obviously had a discussion, but as soon as we stepped into this guy's independent management territory, we immediately started to flirt.Although Dai Bowen has the means to cure this problem, it is not necessary, so he can only shake his head helplessly: "It's all just chatting, Your Highness can do whatever you want."

After saying that, he got up.Prince Tan seems to have to take turns to watch the night with the guards. The national teacher has no combat effectiveness, so let's go to rest honestly.

Prince Tan suddenly said behind his back: "Tomorrow's journey may be dangerous, be careful."

Dai Bowen smiled silently, turned around and half squatted in front of Prince Tan, holding his hand holding the map with both hands.

Prince Tan had to put down the map slightly and looked at him.

"When you are resting tonight, you will be able to sleep very well, so that you will remain in good spirits tomorrow." The backlit brown pupils revealed deep eyes, and they stared at each other's eyes, "Good night, Your Highness."

Dangerous place, no forest to enter.

Prince Tan's team avoided trails, canyons, small and scattered villages, etc., but there were always places where they could not avoid.

The forest in front of him was Prince Tan's hesitation last night.Among the routes they chose, this forest is the only way to pass through; the trees are dense, it is easy to hide people, and it is not easy to fight; if they make a detour, they may have to return the three days they saved earlier.

So, just bite the bullet, and it will only take a long time to run.

Prince Tan just slowed down slightly in front of the woods, looked back at the crowd and nodded, and then rushed in with them.The coachman watched the situation, and said loudly before raising his whip, "Sir, sit tight!"

As soon as Dai Bowen grabbed the handle on the carriage, the carriage accelerated suddenly!

clap clap...

Horseshoes and wheels grind on the fallen leaves, stirring up a flying leaf or two from time to time.The trails in the forest are all made by travelers, and the town government on both sides arranges them. The width is more casual.The wide space is more than enough for two carriages to meet, and the narrow space is a little wider than the carriage.All kinds of trees grow scattered and have different shapes, but Dai Bowen will not suddenly look at them on a whim. "Don't stick your head and hands out of the window" is the most common tip for riding, not to mention driving in such a dangerous way.

Dai Bowen even thought: If the "National Teacher" really has the ability to listen to the heavens, please be sure to bless your journey safely...

What responded to him was the sudden violent shaking of the carriage and the neighing of startled horses outside!

Dai Bowen couldn't see what was going on outside, but Prince Tan watched helplessly as a long rope suddenly stretched from the pile of fallen leaves, and the horse running in the front was beaten and fell to its knees with a scream, and the leading guard rolled over. Only then did he avoid the horse's body rolling.

However, there were three more such ropes at the back, and a horse in front of the carriage was also tripped over, causing the horses pulling the carriage to raise their hooves and neigh in shock.If it wasn't for the skill of the driver, the carriage might overturn immediately.

The horse team almost stopped, and there was a whistle in the forest that seemed like a bird but not a bird——

This sound was really weird and abrupt, the chief guard drew out his waist knife and said, "Enemy attack!"

Before the words were finished, dozens of green-clothed thugs sprang out from all directions in the forest, raising their troops and charging straight at the horse team!A few of them went straight to Prince Tan, except for those stopped by the surrounding guards, two of them approached in the blink of an eye.The cold-faced Yan Wang flew off his horse, and took advantage of his power to overwhelm the two enemies with his Yanling knife, forcing them to take two steps back.When the two moved forward, the head of the guard's waist knife had arrived, and one of them was separated.How can the guest in green alone be the opponent of Prince Tan? The moves of the Yanling Saber are heavy and urgent, but only ten moves can make the opponent's wrist go numb.If you want to escape again, the Yanling Saber has already penetrated your heart!

Prince Tan took advantage of the opportunity to turn his head and sweep away, then withdrew his knife and retreated to the circle of guards.He quickly took out an arm-thick copper pipe and a torch from his pocket, took off the mouth of the ox horn jar at his waist, poured black powder into it, and then loaded a projectile, the mouth of the pipe was slanted towards the sky and ignited - but three Breathe, as if thunder exploded above your head.

gunpowder? !Dai Bowen crouched in the car in shock.He has no combat power, and staying in a special compartment is dozens of times safer than going outside.But the coachman snapped the mechanism sensitively when the horse was frightened, and the carriage and horse were separated. Now no matter what the horse is, the carriage has been nailed to death.Several guards and the coachman stood guard nearby with knives. The man in green knew that there were VIPs in the car, but he couldn't get close.

When the sky exploded, the people in green clothes were almost shocked: "It's a firecracker!"

The power of the firecracker is terrifying, but the early steps are time-consuming, and the disadvantages outweigh the advantages in close combat.Prince Tan also only fired one shot, then threw the copper pipe to the guards beside him, and then drew the Yanling saber to meet the enemy.

He is like this, how can everyone not understand?This is clearly a signal for help!

The man in green was not sure if this was just a bluff, but it was a pity to back off at this time, after finally stopping the convoy.Suddenly a shout came from the melee: "Come on, brothers!" The morale of the robbers suddenly soared, and the axes, axes, swords and swords were full of vigor!

It happened that there was a guard who ignored his back with one enemy and two one, and the shouting man raised his knife to cut him off when he saw it, but there was a wild goose feather knife on the way!The sound of gold and stone colliding, it turned out that Prince Tan knew the leader with his sharp eyes, and flew here to fight against him with his own hands.The main enemy is now, and the leader in green doesn't care to command anymore, and strikes back with a knife!

This boss is very skilled, and he fought with Prince Tan for dozens of rounds in a few breaths.It's just that his weapon is not as good as the Yanling knife, which cuts iron like mud, and there are frequent gaps under heavy chopping.Occasionally, there would be men in green who rushed to make up the knife, but they were all stabbed by Prince Tan or the guards who rushed over, or were even caught by Prince Tan and blocked the knife in front of him.For a while, blood was flying everywhere, Prince Tan didn't care about wiping it, he threw the corpse in his hand to the side and knocked down the man in green who was about to get close, and then rushed to the leader with a knife to fight in a ball.

Dai Bowen listened nervously in the car, his spirit was tense and guarded, but he didn't dare to move at all.Amidst the chaotic sound, something flew into the curtain of the car and hit him at his feet with a bang.He took a closer look and found that it was the firecracker that was shouting outside.It turned out that it was inconvenient for the guards to hold the brass pipe, so they tossed it into the carriage for temporary storage.

Dai Bowen picked up the brass pipe, although it had no ammunition or ammunition, but it was a solid short stick.Holding it tightly in the palm of your hand can relieve at least a little anxiety.Unexpectedly, it just so happened that a knife pierced through the curtain of the car window, right in front of Dai Bowen.He didn't have time to think about it, he clenched the brass pipe and hit it hard!

Outside the car, Prince Tan was kicking aside the green man and thief who was in the way, when he saw the leader stabbing the car window with a knife, his heart tightened.When he approached two steps at a time, he saw that the opponent's hand holding the knife loosened, and took the opportunity to swing the knife at the outstretched arm.The leader in green threw away his knife and drew his hand, but was still seriously injured by the Yanling knife.How can we fight again without serious injuries?In the next second, he was kicked to the ground by Prince Tan, his hands and feet were paralyzed by the heavy blow, and he couldn't move.

At this moment, someone at the end of the team suddenly shouted: "Reinforcements have arrived!"

Prince Tan turned his head and saw that a cavalry team was galloping out at the end of the curve. Although they were all in civilian attire, they were listening to the guns to help!

The leader at the foot raised his head as if he was about to shout, but was stepped on by Prince Tan and was able to grab the ground face to face.

The men in green had already reached a stalemate in the battle, and the reinforcements disrupted the situation, and their morale immediately collapsed.After another moment, except for the two or three people who escaped but did not pursue, the rest were either dead or injured, and they had no strength to fight.

Prince Tan ordered people to tie up all the victims, and they knelt in a row on the side of the road that had just been cleaned up hastily.There were nine people in total, several of them were fatally injured, even if they received medical treatment, time was running out.In contrast, the leader kneeling on the far side is still in fair condition.

Prince Tan glanced at the crowd, and said again: "Go and ask the national teacher to come down."

The coachman was ordered to wipe the blood on the man in green, and then went to lift the curtain: "My lord, the prince is here."

Only then did the thieves in green realize that the legendary national teacher was on the carriage, so they couldn't help turning their heads to look.I saw a man appearing at the front of the car, he held a blood-stained waist knife in one hand, and a copper firecracker in the other, wearing plain clothes and a black crown.The scene was bloody and messy, corpses were piled up on the side of the road, and the living knelt opposite the dead.All this fell into the eyes of a man with a very different style, but his expression was still neither sad nor happy.
