Liu Tan seldom saw Lu Xuan with such a dignified expression, Lu Xuan always smiled in front of him, smiled shyly and laughed a lot, in short, he would not let Liu Tan see his serious expression.

Probably because he was afraid that he would scare people away by being too serious.

However, at this moment, he didn't care too much, he grabbed Liu Tan and said, "Follow me!"

Huo Guang also walked quickly at this time and said: "One of the scouts has been killed, Your Highness, let's retreat quickly."

Lu Xuan turned his head and said something to his knights, then turned to look at Liu Tan and explained: "I sent some people to stop them, but they may not be able to stop them, you..."

Huo Guang said decisively: "We also sent a team of soldiers and horses to join forces!"

How could Huo Guang put Liu Tan's safety on Wusun people?

At this time, Huo Guang's strong coordination ability was demonstrated. The camp had already been set up, and everyone's nerves were relatively relaxed at this time, and they suddenly gave up, and they had to pack up things quickly, which would definitely lead to chaos.

It was only after the initial panic that things quickly became organized again.

Miao Rui and Bi Gao quickly brought Liu Tan's horse over, but everyone was a little worried, it's okay to ride for a while, but if you want to escape now, His Highness's riding skills may not be able to support it.

Liu Tan also knew it in his own mind, and quickly said: "The combined number of our two parties is larger than them? Can't we beat them back?"

At this time, Lu Xuan didn't bother to be euphemistic, and said directly: "You didn't bring heavy cavalry, these people came prepared, and my people didn't bring much luggage, so if we can stop them for a while, we may not be able to repel them. It’s not very far from our Wusun, and when we reach the territory of Wusun, I can dispatch troops to drive them away.”

Liu Tan turned his head to look at Huo Guang. At such a time, he felt that he had better not come up with random ideas.

Huo Guang looked at Lu Xuan and asked, "Little Kunmi seems to know the identities of these people?"

It wasn't that he doubted Lu Xuan, it was mainly because Lu Xuan's reaction was too fast. Before their scouts showed any casualties, Lu Xuan had already started telling them to pack up their things and prepare to run. Presumably he knew the identity of the other party, but why would he? Guess what?

Lu Xuan was very calm, because he was anxious and spoke very fast: "These cavalry are those small countries in the vicinity who jointly pretended to be horse bandits and specially used them to rob the envoys of the big Han."

Liu Tan was stunned: "What?"

Lu Xuan quickly continued: "Many countries in the Western Regions know that the envoys of the Han Dynasty will bring a lot of property when they go on missions. For some small countries, those properties may be tax revenues for several years, so they came up with this method. , what? Didn’t the Han envoy report it?”

Before Liu Tan could say anything, Huo Guang said coldly: "They are afraid that His Majesty will be angry, so they dare not speak out. As long as the result is good, His Majesty will not pursue how much money they spent."

Liu Tan frowned first, then said calmly: "If they are just asking for money, that's fine, give them money!"

Jiang Chong was a little surprised: "Your Highness, but we gave it to them, how do we go back?"

Liu Tan said: "Didn't Xiao Kunmi say that? These people may not be wiped out."

Lu Xuan pulled him and said: "You can try, but it's best to prepare more. I'm worried that these people are here for you. If you only want money, it doesn't matter, even if you give it to them, it doesn't matter. There is me."

It was only then that Liu Tan remembered, what was his little money, this man in front of him was a real rich man.

And it's not like he's still on it!

As for favors, after tonight, they have already owed favors, and they have sent more than half of their soldiers and horses, which is equivalent to putting their own safety aside—if Liu Tan and the others are a little bad-hearted at this time, Lu Xuan It is almost a defenseless state, unable to resist at all.

This favor owes a lot, are you afraid of owing some money?

Liu Tan was very open-minded, but the reality was not so good.

When Huo Guang was asking people to count the belongings and prepare to send them out, Lu Xuan's expression suddenly changed and he said, "Ajiamu!"

After he finished speaking, he ran towards the northwest direction. Only then did Liu Tan see a man crouching on the horse's back and being carried by the horse running all the way.

Liu Tan saw the man running all the way and bleeding all the way when there was a fire, and there was even an arrow stuck in his back.

Liu Tan's face changed when he saw it: "Huo Guang, tell everyone to prepare to leave, and send more people there!"

This was the first time Liu Tan called Huo Guang's full name, and he was really nervous to a certain extent.

Bows and arrows are very lethal weapons in any era, but they are also very expensive weapons that ordinary people cannot afford, let alone horse bandits.

According to what Lu Xuan said before, these people have been pretending to be horse bandits. If they want to pretend to be more similar, they will not bring bows and arrows, and horse bandits can't use them.

Now that the bows and arrows are brought out, it shows that the purpose of these people is to kill people!

Don't say anything, just run away.

Huo Guang also changed his face and said: "But... another dispatch is not enough to protect His Highness."

Liu Tan's expression looked a bit stern in the flickering flames: "I can't stop those people, it's useless for them to stay by my side, hurry up! Tell them, I will do my best to heal the wounded, the disabled, and the nurses." For the rest of his life, those who died in battle will support the whole family!"

Huo Guang gasped, not only him, but no one expected Liu Tan to have such courage at this time.

There were hundreds of people anyway, and their duty was to protect Liu Tan. Liu Tan didn't have to do this at all. What's the difference between throwing money all at once?

However, Liu Tan felt that there was still a big gap between completing tasks in a coping manner and fulfilling obligations proactively. He did not expect these people to swear allegiance to him. To dispatch troops and generals.

After Liu Tan finished speaking, he quickly got on the horse. He knew that staying here was useless except to hold back his legs. Instead, everyone had to bother to protect him.

After he got on the horse, the knights who were really responsible for protecting him also got on the horse one after another, and Lu Xuan, Huo Guang and others followed him closely to protect him.

But I don't know if the little white horse has never experienced this kind of thing, or Liu Tan's nervousness has infected it. Liu Tan was almost thrown off by the little white horse after he got on the horse.

At that moment, Liu Tan felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have left the harness in Chang'an. At least he brought it out, even if he didn't show it to others, he could use it at critical moments!

The little white horse swayed, and Liu Tan subconsciously leaned forward and hugged the horse's neck, thinking that he might become the first prince of a big man who died of poor riding skills.

He didn't blame the little white horse, after all, he was also very nervous now.

Just when Liu Tan was about to tell Huo Guang and the others to leave first, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing behind him. As soon as he turned around, he saw Lu Xuan riding his black horse running towards him, and stretched out his hand after getting close to him. Put an arm around his waist.

Before Liu Tan could react, Lu Xuan directly hugged Liu Tan from Xiaobai's horse and transferred it to his own horse with his waist and abdomen. He also covered Liu Tan with his cloak.

Liu Tan was enveloped by the natural fragrance of flowers and plants on Lu Xuan's body. When he realized that he was actually sitting sideways, he couldn't help showing his face from the cloak and said, "This can't work, it will drag you down!"

Lu Xuan's answer was to help him adjust his sitting posture, let Liu Tan sit on the horse in a normal posture, then lowered his body to protect him in his arms and said, "It's okay, Abu can do it, I believe it, and you have to believe it too .”

Liu Tan didn't say anything after hearing this, mainly because the horse ran too fast, and the night wind blew so hard that he couldn't even open his mouth.

He looked back with difficulty, and found that the little white horse was running beside them. Now that there was nothing on the little white horse, it seemed that it was a bit difficult to follow.

Huo Guang's horse is good enough to follow closely, and the rest of the people can't do it. It is obvious that Lu Xuan leads him as the first echelon, then Lu Xuan's entourage, then Huo Guang, and finally the one who protects Liu Tan Those guards, as for Jiang Chong...Jiang Chong is just behind, his horse is really not that good.

I don't know if it was an illusion caused by his being too nervous, but he felt that he even heard the sound of arrows piercing through the air.

At first, Liu Tan felt that he was thinking too much, but soon when Lu Xuan pressed his head into his arms, and at the same time he heard screams from behind, he knew it was not his hallucination.

He couldn't help taking a deep breath: "How many people are here? Didn't so many of us stop him?"

Lu Xuan's voice was very calm in the night wind: "It's not a group, it seems that they are well prepared."

Liu Tan was about to say something, when he suddenly heard Lu Xuan humming lightly, he sharply looked up at Lu Xuan and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Xuan's expression was normal, and he took the time to lower his head and smiled at him and said: "It's okay, don't worry, Ah Bu is very fast, we will be there soon."

Liu Tan suddenly remembered something, raised his head and asked, "Where's the signal flare? Use the signal flare quickly."

That thing must be very conspicuous in the dark night, so people who don't have to run to Lu Xuan can find it.

Lu Xuan coughed lightly and lowered his head and asked, "What is that?"

Liu Tan was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that there was no gunpowder these days, so where did the signal flare come from!

It's really hard to buy. I knew it earlier, otherwise he would definitely get this thing out!

Liu Tan gritted his teeth with hatred, and made up his mind to do this when he went back. He didn't care if it shortened the time of the cold weapon's rule. Take no harm.

What Lu Xuan said was fast, it was really fast, almost at the time when the sky was darkest, they ran to the nearest town.

After a long-distance raid, Lu Xuan's horse gradually lacked strength with the two people. Lu Xuan turned his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Go and gather your own people first!"

A guard galloped away quickly, and after a short while Liu Tan heard the sound of a horn being blown. In an instant, everyone in the town was awakened by the sound, and the young and strong quickly put on their clothes and held With his own weapon, he walked out leading his own horse.

This is the first time Liu Tan has faced the well-trained people of the Western Regions. No, it seems wrong to say that they are well-trained, because their formation is not very neat, and their clothes are not consistent, but that kind of people quickly changed from ordinary people to soldiers. The transformation is astonishing.

Even if he doesn't want to admit it anymore, he has to say that the Han Chinese seem to be temporarily inferior in this respect.

Those people came galloping on horseback to rescue their little Kunmi.

When Liu talked about their team passing by, these people said something loudly, but they didn't stop.

At the same time, Huo Guang coughed and said, "The pursuers seem to have retreated."

Liu Tan turned his head and did not see the traces of those chasing soldiers, so he was relieved.

And at this moment, he felt that Lu Xuan's hand that had been holding his waist suddenly loosened, and then his whole body was pressed on Liu Tan's body.

The author has something to say: Huo Guang: I don’t dare to lose the fifth prince, otherwise the whole family will die
