I am a ruler in troubled times

After Song Peiyu and others arrived in Yu County, they temporarily stopped in Yu County for repairs.

Although Emperor Yonghe had agreed to allow the Eighth Prince of Wei to return to Wei, he would not be a good person in vain.

The specific price to be paid by Wei Guo still needs to be discussed slowly by Song Peiyu and Wei Guo's envoys.

After arriving in Yu County, Song Peiyu arranged for someone to send the Wei Guo envoy who had stayed in Zhao State for a long time out of Yu County.

I hope that the next time I see the envoy of the State of Wei, it will still be this person.

After a brief repair, Song Peiyu took the initiative to visit the Eighth Prince.

When seeing the eighth prince, Song Peiyu almost didn't dare to recognize him.

Obviously, when he set off from Xianyang, he had been mourning for the first emperor of the state of Wei for nearly three months, and the eighth prince, who kept making mourning during this period, did not lose much weight.

Why did the eighth prince lose his shape after only ten days of journey from Xianyang to Yu County?

If the State of Wei sent envoys to the State of Zhao again and saw the current Eighth Prince, they would definitely suspect that the State of Zhao had abused the Eighth Prince.

Song Peiyu looked at the eighth prince wonderingly, "How did you become like this, but there is something wrong with the environment on the road?"

The Eighth Prince sat down beside Song Peiyu like a walking dead, and sighed, "You don't understand."

Song Peiyu really doesn't understand, but the eighth prince's current mental outlook has seriously affected Song Peiyu's next plan, so he must not let the eighth prince continue like this.

Seeing that the eighth prince looked preoccupied all the time, and was unwilling to answer, Song Peiyu simply went to ask the servant who served the eighth prince.

At the beginning, the eighth prince returned to Xianyang with Chong Yi, and was placed in the East Palace at the very beginning, so the person who served the eighth prince was also a member of the East Palace, so naturally he knew everything about Song Peiyu and talked endlessly.

It turned out that the Eighth Prince was fine when he was in the East Palace, but since he got on the carriage to Yu County, he became depressed. In the past, five meals a day with snacks were not enough to eat, but he couldn't eat one meal a day on the road.

"Motion sickness?" Song Peiyu looked suspiciously at the eighth prince who had been silent all this time. Why didn't he remember that the eighth prince also suffered from motion sickness?

The Eighth Prince raised his head suddenly, his silly eyes full of fatigue and worry in the past, "Song Peiyu, am I dying?"

Song Peiyu was about to be laughed at by the Eighth Prince.

Why is he about to die before the pulse is diagnosed?

Song Peiyu ignored the eighth prince, and continued to ask the servant who was serving the eighth prince, "Why didn't you find a doctor for the eighth prince?"

Even if the eighth prince's status is embarrassing, it's not like he was sick all the way and didn't even see a decent doctor.

The servant heard that Song Peiyu's words seemed to be reproachful, and the curvature of the already bent waist became more obvious, but he didn't show any fear because of it.

The entire East Palace knows that Mr. Song is the most reasonable.

"Responding to your lord's words, I once invited Mr. Bai to visit the eighth prince." The servant said softly, "Mr. Bai said that the eighth prince's symptoms were caused by depression. The prince can think about it himself, otherwise no matter how much medicine he takes, it will be of no use."

So when the eighth prince refused to take the medicine, Bo Yang didn't force it.

Song Peiyu felt that the servant's words seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember where she heard them, so she could only put them down temporarily.

He asked the servants some more details, and calculated the day when the eighth prince of the Wei Kingdom began to change. He immediately had a rough guess, and couldn't help shaking his head.

He knew that the Eighth Prince didn't want to return to the Kingdom of Wei, and was even afraid of returning to the Kingdom of Wei.

But he didn't expect that the eighth prince looked as if he was about to die early before returning to Weiguo.

It still looks pitiful.

"Yesterday, the envoy of the Kingdom of Wei left Yu County. If you want to come here in a few days, your family will come to pick you up." Song Peiyu knew that the Eighth Prince would not like to hear such words, but she had to say it.

Sure enough, the Eighth Prince became more lethargic visible to the naked eye, and waved his hand feebly, "Got it."

Song Peiyu moistened her throat with the hot tea on the table, and comforted the Eighth Prince, "Originally, Wei Guo didn't care about how you were in Zhao Guo, but now he wholeheartedly wants to welcome you back. After you return to Wei Guo, maybe There will be great fortune, why not think about the situation better?"

This time, the eighth prince finally did not remain indifferent. He raised his eyelids and stared at Song Peiyu's direction with his eyes like dead fish eyes. His tone was even more mournful, "Wearing a dragon robe to be buried is the best of luck for me. Bar."

Song Peiyu put down the teacup, smiled without saying a word.

Based on the current situation in Weiguo, the Eighth Prince's self-awareness is very clear.

"But I don't want to die!" The Eighth Prince suddenly slapped the carved wooden table beside him, making a dull sound.

Song Peiyu followed the Eighth Prince in silence for a while, and was about to speak out to test the Eighth Prince's level of sobriety in a life-and-death crisis. Before he could open his mouth, he saw the Eighth Prince suddenly take the palm of his hand resting on the wooden table to his mouth , snorting and blowing.

Too much force, it hurts.

Song Peiyu silently supported his forehead. He felt that the process of having a deep heart-to-heart conversation with the Eighth Prince might not go smoothly.

Maybe it's still too late to replace Lu Jihe in the face of difficulties.

Before Song Peiyu could make up his mind amidst hesitation, the Eighth Prince's tears were already streaming down his face.

Half a month ago, the Eighth Prince was still a chubby little fat man, even if he spoke too fast, his stomach would tremble.

Today's Eighth Prince, compared with him in the past, is so thin that he could fall down with the wind.

Only when she was crying, Song Peiyu could still see some shadows of the past.

The Eighth Prince cried like a child, as if he had been greatly wronged, and complained loudly while crying.But it doesn't care whether the person who listens to his cry can hear what he said clearly.

It doesn't look like crying, but rather like simply venting emotions.

Chong Yi waited impatiently, and when Song Peiyu found him wearing a full set of camouflage outfits, Song Peiyu had already drunk three cups of tea, and there were four large characters written on the left and right eyes.

Song Peiyu had never seen anyone who could cry better than the Eighth Prince.

I haven't started to remember anything, I just started talking about the past from what my nurse told me.

He kept saying that his father didn't want to redeem him back to the state of Wei until his father died, so it can be seen that he was not a son in his eyes at all.

Now Weiguo wants to take him back, just to get a head for Weiguo's imperial mausoleum.

Chong Yi walked past the eighth prince who was sitting on the ground crying with distaste, bearing in mind his identity as Song Que, went straight to stand behind Song Peiyu, and asked Song Peiyu what happened with his eyes.

Song Peiyu shook her head slowly but firmly.

He didn't know what was going on either.

Salted fish is too difficult to understand.

Especially the salted fish who is the prince.

Not only does Chongyi appear to be a vase, but he actually touches the cut hand.

Even the eighth prince is so difficult.

Song Peiyu just wanted to test the Eighth Prince's opinion on returning to Wei.

If the eighth prince is an ambitious idiot, he wants to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become a serf and sing, return to inherit the throne, and reach the pinnacle of life.

This was what Song Peiyu wanted to see the most, and there was no special reason, it could save him some tongue.

The eighth prince didn't care what he wanted, and even had to flee from Weiguo voluntarily in order to save his life.

Such an Eighth Prince, no matter how stupid he is, can he realize that he has no leverage in fighting for the throne, right?

Even if the Eighth Prince is really stupid to the extreme, it doesn't matter if he can't even understand such a simple truth, Song Peiyu can guide the Eighth Prince to think about it.

It is guaranteed that the eighth prince can ask Zhao Guo to help him take the throne of Wei Guo.

In this way, Zhao Guo had a legitimate reason to send troops to defend the country.

The Eighth Prince of Weiguo still insisted that it doesn't matter if the salted fish is in the end.

As we all know, the easiest puppet to control is the salted fish. As long as the life of the salted fish is comfortable, the salted fish will not mind how many ropes are tied behind him.

Song Peiyu judged from the experience of being with the eighth prince for a short time, and felt that the eighth prince would be a good puppet candidate.

In short, the East Palace has provided the Eighth Prince with delicious food and drink for so long, and now it will start charging interest.

It would be best for the Eighth Prince to cooperate with Zhao Guo to take down Wei Guo. If he is not willing to cooperate, Song Peiyu has plenty of ways to make him change his mind.

But Song Peiyu never expected that the conversation between him and the eighth prince would end before it even started.

Song Peiyu had a good temper, and could wait for two hours without getting angry when the eighth prince could not hear the cries that were ringing in his head, but Chong Yi didn't have such a good temper and patience.

Chong Yi came in less than a stick of incense, and walked silently behind the eighth prince who was crying so deeply, and lowered his eyes 'kindly' to the top of the eighth prince's black head.

The eighth prince of Weiguo is counting down. When he was in school, not only his half-brothers and younger brothers bullied him, but even the companions of other princes bullied him.

Thinking of the uselessness of those years, the eighth prince felt sad again and cried even harder.

Thinking of this incident, he remembered being bullied by the eunuch next to his half-brother, and was about to continue crying when he suddenly felt a chill down his back and shivered silently.

The eighth prince seemed to sense something was wrong, he raised his head with his red and swollen eyes, and was facing a hideous face that could stop the child from crying at night.

Chong Yi looked indifferently at the Eighth Prince who looked like a red-eyed bunny, and said in a low voice, "Don't make noise, understand?"

The Eighth Prince let out an 'ow' in fright, changed from sitting on the ground to lying on his back, looking at Chong Yi tremblingly, "You, why are you here?!"

Song Peiyu, who had nothing to do but continue to drink tea, immediately raised her eyelids to look at the Eighth Prince's words.

Is this recognition of Chong Yi?

Sure enough, although he was always bullied, he grew up safely and escaped from the battlefield. How could he really be a waste.

The Eighth Prince hid it well, and almost deceived him too.

The Eighth Prince immediately felt the 'kind' gaze on his body change from one to two.

He was panicked, he felt like he had done something wrong again, but he didn't know how to remedy it, he could only put his hands on his shoulders, shrunk himself into a ball, and looked eagerly at Chong Yi and Song Peiyu.

Song Peiyu raised her index finger and placed it near her mouth.

The Eighth Prince immediately raised his hands to tightly cover his mouth, first shook his head frantically, then nodded frantically, without making any sound from the beginning to the end.

It's so cute that it hurts.

After a long silence, Song Peiyu finished the remaining half cup of tea and changed the place of conversation from the flower hall to his room.

When changing the place of conversation, I happened to meet Lu Jihe who was carrying a long sword, so he called Lu Jihe along.

Lu Jihe was at the end and was closing the door when he suddenly heard a 'plop'.

The Eighth Prince knelt down to Chong Yi without hesitation, looked at Chong Yi pitifully with his red and swollen eyes, and dared not say a word.

Song Peiyu had completely given up on guessing Xianyu, he asked directly, "What are you kneeling for?"

The Eighth Prince didn't hesitate at all, and said, "Begging for mercy."

Song Peiyu was once again speechless for the uprightness of the Eighth Prince.

He felt that he was wrong, why did he think that the eighth prince had a hidden side at the moment when the eighth prince recognized Chong Yi.

Lu Jihe walked over with his sword in his arms, and stood beside the Eighth Prince before taking his seat, asking Song Peiyu what happened with his eyes.

Song Peiyu sighed and pointed at the Eighth Prince, "He recognized His Highness immediately."

Lu Jihe lowered his eyelids to look at the eighth prince, his smile didn't reach his eyes, "I didn't expect the eighth prince to have such eyesight."

Even if Xianyu is like the eighth prince, he can tell that Lu Jihe's words are not complimenting him.

The Eighth Prince shuddered silently, and after looking around, he silently tightened his grip on himself.

How could he be so miserable that he escaped from the wolf's den in Wei State and entered the tiger's den in Zhao State.

"Sit" Chong Yi pointed to the only chair that was still free.

The Eighth Prince raised his head, carefully glanced at Lu Jihe who was standing beside him, his head almost turned into a rattle, and said tremblingly, "No, no, I'll just kneel and let Lord Lu sit!"

"Heh" Lu Jihe chuckled, and said in a calm tone, "Your Highness let you sit."

The Eighth Prince was stunned for a moment, and immediately got up from the ground, first pulled the chair away from Lu Jihe, and then carefully sat down.

'Snapped'

Lu Jihe pressed the long sword in his hand on the table.

Song Peiyu watched with her own eyes that the eighth prince jumped up on the spot, his buttocks completely left the chair, and then fell down again, and sat down firmly on the chair instead.

It's not as uncomfortable as before when the entire chair only sat on a quarter.

From the corner of Lu Jihe's eyes, he also saw the reaction of the Eighth Prince. The corner of his eyes twitched, and he calmly breathed a sigh of relief before continuing, "It is a secret matter for Your Highness to come to Yu County. From the beginning to the end, there are only the two of us. I personally know. The Eighth Prince is about to return to Weiguo. If others scare him casually, he will tell about His Highness’s appearance in Yu County in order to save his life. How about us..."

The long sword was out of its sheath, and the cold light refracted from the blade happened to shine on the sneer at the corner of Lu Jihe's mouth.

"I dare not!" As soon as the eighth prince lifted his butt from the chair, he felt Chong Yi's 'kind' gaze again, so he could only sit back.

He said in a crying voice, "I will definitely not tell this matter, please let me go."

Song Peiyu rubbed the center of her eyebrows that started to throb again, and said in a low voice, "Don't cry."

The eighth prince is also powerful enough. After crying for more than two hours, his voice is still so clear.

"I... can't, can't... hiccup!" The eighth prince covered his mouth with his hand, weeping silently, and said in a muffled voice, "I can hold it in!"

Seeing the stupid and pitiful appearance of the eighth prince, Lu Jihe suddenly felt a little pain in his conscience.

Only a little bit, and it will not hinder him from continuing to press questions at all.

"You are in front of us now, so it's natural to say that. If standing in front of you is a guard holding a torture tool, what can you hide?"

The Eighth Prince lowered his head in shame.

He was completely unable to refute Lu Jihe's words.

"So can you not let me go back to the Kingdom of Wei?" The Eighth Prince picked at his intertwined fingers, mustering up the courage to look at Chong Yi's face.

This is the first time that the Eighth Prince dared to look at Chong Yi with straight eyes after he foolishly revealed Chong Yi's identity directly.

Chong Yi didn't immediately refuse, "reason"

The eighth prince was stunned, his face full of surprise that 'you're ignoring me'.

People who are not very smart look even more stupid.

"I……"

The Eighth Prince opened his mouth several times, each time starting with me, and then he couldn't continue at all, with anxiety and panic intertwined on his face, and he didn't notice that he was bleeding around his nails.

Chong Yi and others lost their patience, and said in a cold voice, "Do you want to live?"

The Eighth Prince nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Chong Yi generously offered the Eighth Prince a choice, "If you are willing to obey, Gu will let you live."

The Eighth Prince was overjoyed, raised his right hand above his head, and repeatedly assured, "I will be obedient, if His Royal Highness tells me to go east, I will never go west!"

Lu Jihe interjected abruptly, "What if His Highness orders you to return to the Kingdom of Wei and deliver news for us?"

The smile on the corner of the Eighth Prince's mouth suddenly froze, and gradually turned into a smile uglier than crying.

After a long time, the eighth prince who lowered his head whispered, "I listen to the prince for everything."

In fact, this is not too difficult a question for the Eighth Prince to make a decision.

In his more than ten years of life, the short few months of his life in Zhao country were the happiest and most relaxing days for him.

In Zhao Guo, there will be no "brothers" to bully him, no companions of "brothers" to bully him, and no slaves in front of "brothers" to bully him.

As long as he coaxes Chong Yi and makes Chong Yi happy, he will be able to make the people around Chong Yi take extra care of him. This is something that the Eighth Prince would never have dared to think about when he was still in Weiguo.

Deep down in his heart, the eighth prince even felt that in the country of Zhao, he lived like a prince.

As for Wei Guo...

Because of his experience from childhood to adulthood, it is difficult for the Eighth Prince to have a good impression of and hang around Weiguo.

Based on the funeral letters frequently reported by Wei Guo and the thicker and thicker mourning clothes he wore when he was in the state of Zhao for his father's funeral, it is speculated that his father and his brothers have almost been reunited in the underworld.

Even if he returns to Weiguo, he may not be able to see familiar faces.

That being the case, what does it have to do with Zhao Guo whether he takes action against Wei Guo?

His biggest dream in this life is to live forever in the corner of Zhao Guodong Palace, open his mouth for clothes and food, and go to or talk to Eunuch An when he is bored.

After forcing the Eighth Prince to say what they wanted to hear, Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe looked at Chongyi in unison.

If Chong Yi is still not satisfied with the Eighth Prince's attitude, they can still force the Eighth Prince.

In Chong Yi's gaze, most of the people had distinct labels on their foreheads.

'Not about me', 'about me'

'Available', 'Cannot be used'

……

From then on, the Eighth Prince is someone who is 'relevant to me' and 'useful'.

It's a pity that Chong Yi is wearing the clothes belonging to 'Song Que', from the cuffs to the waist, there is nothing that can be used as a meeting gift for the Eighth Prince.

Song Peiyu's hands rested on Chong Yi's legs silently, palms up.

Liuli, half the size of a palm, lay in Song Peiyu's palm, like a colorful auspicious cloud.

Chong Yi took the auspicious cloud glass, carefully put it into his sleeve pocket, then raised his eyelids to look at the Eighth Prince, "Go, after the state defense affairs are over, you can go wherever you want."

When the Eighth Prince heard the words, a relaxed smile immediately appeared on his anxious face, he silently saluted Chong Yi, and exited cheerfully.

Looking at the performance of the eighth prince, it seems that there is no doubt that Chong Yi may go back on his word and kill people after achieving his goal.

Song Peiyu shook her head, either laughing or cursing, "Fool."

Lu Jihe put the long sword into its sheath, and said in an unintelligible way, "Fools are blessed with fools."

The Eighth Prince of Wei has already been 'reasoned'.

Before Murong Jing's side is ready, the most important thing is to collect news about Weiguo.

The so-called know yourself and know your enemy and you will never end in a hundred battles. After discussing with several people, Song Peiyu decided to go to the strange goods city.

Not only because Qihuo City is closer to Weiguo, but also because there are more people in Qihuo City.

Because of the existence of Liuli Road, there is no need to get up early to go to Qihuo City from Yu County.

When the convoy set off from Yu County, it was already daylight.

Song Peiyu's symptoms of motion sickness have been cured without any medicine. He has always been restless. Even if he is on a journey, the table of the carriage is covered with a map of the country of Wei.

Song Peiyu's hand was at the place where Weiguo was closest to Zhaoguo, Yi County, not only the northernmost county of Weiguo, but also known as a dangerous place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

More than 20 years ago, Emperor Qing, who was in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period and was sitting in Youzhou and Yizhou, had not lost his ambition. If he wanted to further expand his territory, the first thing he focused on was Weiguo.

Emperor Qing sent 25 troops to attack Weiguo.

After Wei Guo put everything together, he could only send [-] troops to defend.

For a country like Wei, which is surrounded by other countries, once it is attacked by its neighbors, the most fearful thing is that other neighbors will take advantage of it and rob it.

Therefore, Wei Guo not only needs to increase troops to Yi County, but also to increase troops in the other four directions. It is not an exaggeration to say that Wei Jing has been emptied.

With such a huge disparity in national power and military strength, almost everyone is optimistic that Yan will win the war and annex Weiguo.

Liang, Chu, and Li were even ready to drink the soup.

The result disappointed Liang, Chu and Li.

The 25 Yan army outside Yi County made a small charge once a day and a major charge once every three days. It took three full years, but failed to break through Yi County.

Weiguo can still support it, but Yanguo can't afford to spend 25 troops on the luggage. With the comeback of the northern Turks, they quietly retreated.

I don't know how big a joke this incident caused at the time, and at the same time, it also made Wei Guo feel proud, completely gaining a firm foothold in the cracks.

Now that more than 20 years have passed, the one who wants to annex Wei State has become Zhao State, and Yi County is still an unavoidable hurdle.

The territory of the Wei State is only the size of a projectile. At its peak, the country's military strength was only 12, and the country's population never exceeded 40.

Being able to survive in the cracks between many powerful countries and established forces relies on the fact that the Sifang Border Towns are all natural dangers.

This is also one of the reasons why Weiguo has become such a mess, and the tigers and wolves who are watching are all over the ground, but they still haven't done anything.

In case Weiguo is united due to foreign enemies, not only will the country be defended by natural dangers, but the court will also be stabilized.

Wasn't the person who started the attack the same as the former Yan State, and became a joke?

Song Peiyu followed Yi County on the map and looked around Yi County.

Yi County is like a watershed. To the north of Yi County, most of the terrain is flat, until the Zhao-Yan border, except for the Zhao Guo Qihuo City, there are no towns and villages.

Yi County is suddenly 20 meters higher than the natural height in the north. There are inaccessible mountains and endless forests on the left and right. Building the city in situ is a natural fortress.

If you want to attack Weiguo, you have to go to Pingyi County, because there is no way around.

It is known that the Hussar General had [-] troops in his hands during his lifetime.

In other words, the remaining troops of the Wei State must be greater than [-].

Although domestic conflicts continued, the four fortresses were undoubtedly the most important to Weiguo at the moment.

"It would be great if I could know how many guards there are in Yi County." Song Peiyu smacked his face with his hands and looked at Chong Yi, "If His Highness has [-] soldiers and horses and wants to protect the country well, how many people will be sent to guard Yi County?"

Chong Yi thought carefully for a while before opening his mouth, "The [-] will be placed in the three counties in the north, and we are guaranteed to gather in Yi County within three days."

It was rare for him to take the initiative to explain, "The state of Chu has no fighting spirit, the state of Li has no spare strength, Prince Rui dare not take action easily, the state of Wei only needs to be on guard against the state of Zhao."

Song Peiyu smiled wryly, and relaxed on the cushion in the corner of the carriage.

He had just replaced himself in Weiguo, and felt that sending [-] soldiers to Yi County was already the limit, but he didn't expect Chong Yi to be more ruthless than him.

Song Peiyu looked relaxed and nestled there, in Zhong Yi's eyes, he was really cute and cute, Chong Yi couldn't help reaching out and caressing Song Peiyu's head.

Song Peiyu rolled his eyes, if one day he becomes bald, Chong Yi must be the culprit.

He stretched out his hand to hold Chong Yi's hand that seemed to want to do it again, just as he was about to speak, suddenly his center of gravity became unstable, and he rushed forward suddenly, just in time to be picked up by Chong Yi in his arms.

The carriage also stopped, and there were noisy sounds from far to near.

"There are assassins!"

"Come and protect Master Song!"

"It's not assassins, it's bandits. They came here for the Thousand Golden Mirror!"

……

Song Peiyu supported the table fixed on the carriage with both hands, and barely stabilized her figure. After hearing the words outside, she immediately wanted to lift the curtain of the carriage, but was stopped by Chong Yi, "I'll go and see, you are waiting in the carriage."

Song Peiyu hesitated for a moment, and immediately nodded in response.

He knew how much he weighed. Practicing martial arts and practicing swords meant strengthening his body. If he really encountered an assassin, he would have to run for his life in a hurry.

Song Peiyu's carriage was at the back of the convoy, and Chong Yi stood on the carriage frame, able to have a panoramic view of all the chaos.

The group known as bandits appeared from both sides, most of them now at the front of the convoy.

Song Peiyu was anxiously waiting in the carriage. Hearing that the movement outside seemed to be far away, she couldn't help poking her head out of the carriage, "What's going on?"

Before the words finished, Song Peiyu got out of the carriage, sat on the frame that Chong Yi was stepping on, and wanted to get up to see the situation in the distance.

Chong Yi pressed Song Peiyu's head to prevent Song Peiyu from standing up, and said in a low voice, "It's not a bandit, it's an assassin."

Although these people who appeared suddenly were wearing coarse cloth clothes, even most of them were still patched.

But their actions are very methodical, and they have the meaning of taking care of each other and cooperating with each other. They can be evenly matched with the guards in the convoy.

When Song Peiyu heard this, he immediately had several guesses in his mind.

He said to the guards who were still guarding near his carriage, "You don't need to keep so many people here, go and see how the Eighth Prince is doing. Let those guarding the silver mirror protect the Eighth Prince, don't worry about these external things."

The guards around the carriage hesitated, leaving two thirds, leaving only one third.

As soon as the guards left, the bandits, who were running rampant in the convoy like headless chickens, suddenly found their exact target, half of them rushed towards the carriage with the silver mirror, and half of them rushed directly towards Song Peiyu's carriage come over.

Unprepared, the guards really let the bandits rush towards Song Peiyu's carriage.

The leader of the bandits pointed at Song Peiyu who was sitting on the frame with a knife, "I think this one looks the best, brothers! Take him back to be the son-in-law of the village master! Missy must like such a handsome gentleman!"

The bandits responded in unison, their momentum far surpassing the panicked guards.

Fortunately, Song Peiyu's guards were all Song's private soldiers, and they all went to the battlefield with Song's son Lang. Although they were temporarily shocked by the bandits, they recovered quickly, and immediately drew their swords to meet them.

It's just that in the case of losing the opportunity, it was inevitable to put some bandits in front of Song Peiyu's carriage in a hurry.

Chong Yi knelt on one knee beside Song Peiyu, covered Song Peiyu's eyes with one hand, and said in a low voice, "Close your eyes, don't be afraid."

Song Peiyu blinked, felt the warm liquid on her hand, and immediately said, "I'm going to the carriage!"

"The carriage is too big, I can't take care of you." Chong Yi moved the hand covering Song Peiyu's eyes to Song Peiyu's waist, and pressed Song Peiyu tightly in his arms.

After beheading five people in a row, Chong Yi cut the rope connecting the horse and the carriage with a single sword, and kicked the horse's butt hard.

The already restless steed received another painful kick from it, completely lost control of its emotions, roared, kicked away the bandits and guards around it regardless of enemy or friend, and ran away in any direction.

The carriage that lost its horse backed steadily and became faster and more bumpy, Chong Yi whispered to Song Peiyu to hug him

Then he bent down, grasped the edge of the carriage with one hand to stabilize his figure, and thrust the long sword into the ground with the other.

The long sword broke into several pieces, and the carriage stopped.

Song Peiyu couldn't help opening his eyes long ago. He and Chong Yi were still in the carriage, some distance from the previous position, but they didn't completely leave the range of the convoy.

Chong Yi actually inserted the long sword that had been broken into several pieces into Liuli Road, and forced the carriage to stay in place.

On the contrary, the bandits did not expect Chong Yi to do this. They failed to keep up with the speed of the carriage and were stopped by the guards desperately.

Song Peiyu's face was pale from the smell of blood, but she didn't have much fear in her heart, or it was more than a hundred times better than the day when she suddenly stepped on a gray snake and almost couldn't care about anything.

He even stood up with the roof of the carriage, comparing the number of bandits and guards.

Judging by the naked eye, the number of bandits was comparable to that of the guards.

There are 300 guards, and the maximum number of bandits is between 220 and 240, and there will never be more than 250.

It's just that there are too many people in the team whose status is precious and cannot be lost.

Song Peiyu, Lu Jihe, the Eighth Prince of Wei, Luo Yong and others.

There are also seven valuable thousand gold mirrors and craftsmen who are helpless.

The guards had to protect the nobles, the thousand-gold mirror, and the craftsmen, and they were suddenly attacked in an unexpected place, so they lost their positions in the first place.

Chong Yi took out the bow and arrow from the carriage, pulled the string and released the arrow so fast that he hardly had time to aim.

However, every time the feather arrows fly, at least one bandit will fall down.

Some bandits were even shot through by Chong Yi because they were standing back to back.

These phenomena were not only noticed by the bandits, but also attracted the attention of other people in the convoy.

For a moment, both the bandits and the guards froze.

Song Peiyu changed from standing behind Chong Yi to sitting next to Chong Yi's legs without taking a few glances.

Fortunately, his carriage is big enough, and the things inside are complete enough. There are two sets of heavy bows alone, and two sets of light bows, and no less than a thousand feathered arrows are suitable.

With Chongyi's accuracy and the number of bandits, it was enough.

After seeing Chong Yi's feather arrow, which can be called a fatal blow, the guards found the most efficient way to kill the enemy.

They just need to entangle the bandits so that they don't have a chance to run around.

Then from time to time, distance yourself from the bandits, and there will be flying arrows to help.

This sudden robbery ended in a disastrous defeat for the bandits, who fled in a hurry.

After a brief hesitation, Song Peiyu still didn't send anyone to catch the escaped bandits, but asked the guards to see if the fallen bandits were still alive, and simply treated their wounds first.

If he survived, he would be brought back for interrogation.

If you can't survive, you don't need to force it.

Lu Jihe, the Eighth Prince and others were fine, only Song Peiyu's frame was attacked by bandits, and the horse was released by Chong Yi, and the thick frame was also covered with mottled wounds.

Even Song Peiyu herself, although she was not injured under Chong Yi's protection, her clothes were covered with blood stains and her hair was a little messy.

So much so that Song Peiyu turned out to be the one who looked the most embarrassed.

It didn't take long for Campbell to calculate the loss of the team.

Four of the body's silver mirrors were smashed, sixteen of the team's guards died, 23 were seriously injured, and there were countless minor injuries.

One craftsman who could make silver mirrors died, one was seriously injured, and almost all of them were slightly injured.

Losses like the carriage being destroyed or the horse running away in the chaos... are not included.

Song Peiyu sat on the frame, listening to Jin Bao's words expressionlessly, waiting for her weak legs to regain strength.

So many faces that I see every day and never see again.

If not for Chong Yi, their casualties would have been even more serious.

The most ridiculous thing is that all this happened at the gate of Yu County.

They set off from Yu County to the time they met the bandits, and it was only an hour's journey away.

Half an hour later, after receiving the news, the guards of Yu County, who hastily mobilized troops and horses, arrived.

Commander Weiwei ignored that he and Song Peiyu were both officials of the imperial court, so he knelt down and pleaded guilty tremblingly.

Song Peiyu looked coldly at Commander Wei Wei who was kneeling on the ground from top to bottom, "Do you think that Qihuo City is the fiefdom of His Royal Highness, and the income cannot reach your hands, and the rest is up to you?" It doesn't matter? You can make bandits suddenly appear between Qihuo City and Yu County?"

Song Peiyu's tone can only be described as cold, definitely not angry, but the words used by Commander Wei Wei are completely unbearable.

Commander Wei Wei put his head on the ground, "Master Song please be clear, I will never dare to have such thoughts!"

Song Peiyu sneered and brushed off Commander Wei Wei's hand grabbing his sleeve, turned around and went to Lu Jihe's carriage, and ordered Jin Bao, "Send someone to the strange goods city and tell Shengwang that I will go to the strange goods city in a few days and come back Yu County!"

Commander Wei Wei wanted to grab Song Peiyu's sleeve again, but a terrifying face suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, followed by a shattering pain on his wrist, his eyes went dark from the pain, and he thought his wrist was being crushed. Abandoned.

He knew that this person was Song Peiyu's private guard!

The incident of being robbed by bandits outside Yu County not only made Song Peiyu furious, Lu Jihe was even more angry than Song Peiyu. After returning to Yu County, he immediately splashed ink and wrote a bulletin with tens of thousands of words impeaching Commander Weiwei The envoy dereliction of duty was sent to Xianyang immediately.

Ever since he was assassinated in Huashan and lived outside and encountered bandits, Lu Jihe hated bandits deeply.

Although he knew that the bandits outside Yu County were almost impossible to be real bandits, Lu Jihe still couldn't swallow his breath.

Whether it is a real bandit or a fake bandit, it is impossible for him to suffer twice in the hands of a bandit.

The body of the 'bandit' and the weapons left on the spot were brought back to Yu County, and soon there were clues.

Didn't know that Lu Ji and Weiwei Commander, who had already handed over the booklet to Xianyang, were standing in the courtyard where Song Peiyu was temporarily staying with a livid face.

After the initial panic, Commander Wei Wei made the most remaining emotion in his heart be embarrassment, and the rest was regret.

In front of many subordinates, he actually knelt down and begged for mercy to the little brat who hadn't reached the crown yet.

It's a shame that Song Peiyu has humiliated him so far with the support of Zhongshu Ling and the prince!

They are all court officials. Song Peiyu is just a fifth-rank Honglu Temple Shaoqing. He has been promoted to a third-rank guard commander after Emperor Yonghe decided to expand the garrison in Yu County last year.

Song Peiyu not only received his kneeling, but also dared to reprimand him, really didn't give him any face.

Commander Wei Wei was full of anger, he didn't dare to vent this anger on Song Peiyu, so he stared viciously at Jin Bao who invited him in.
