Lu Hengxiu, who had been struggling on the road for more than half a month, finally arrived at the border of Southwest Longzhou in late autumn.Originally, someone was supposed to come to meet him before entering Longzhou, but when he arrived at the border, no one came to meet him. Just in time for Lu Hengxiu to catch the cold, Ying Shisan decided to stay outside Longzhou for a few days .

However, it was still too late to contact the local shadow guards, and the letters sent by Ying Shisan were like nothing.

"You don't have to wait any longer. You have to arrive at the end of the month, otherwise you will be criticized by others." Lu Hengxiu is now at a time of despair, how can he not think about it?

The imperial decree said that he would rush to Longzhou that month, if he couldn't arrive on time, he would have to be taken to the court hall to embarrass Ming Jue.

"Your Excellency is not in good health, besides..." Besides, the entrance of Longzhou has always been full of bandits, and many merchants and wealthy households have been robbed and killed. Ying Shisan must be worried.In addition, their journey has been too smooth, although it is a good thing, it is also hard to be reassured.

"I understand what you mean, but I also believe in your ability. If you Ying Shisan can't even deal with a few bandits, the emperor will not send you to follow me." Lu Hengxiu pretended to be relaxed, and couldn't help coughing while speaking several times.

If it's just a bandit, it's not a problem, but Ying Shisan is worried about someone pretending to be a bandit.Two fists are hard to beat with four hands. If someone really sent over a dozen well-trained assassins, he would not have the confidence to protect Lu Hengxiu from anything.However, he couldn't tell Lu Hengxiu directly about these worries.

"These people below, why are all of them doing food? It's true that Emperor Gao is far from being able to control them." Ying Shisan cursed, and then persuaded Lu Hengxiu: "Lord Lu, don't worry. , you are the most important person in the eyes of the emperor, Lord Tianshu repeatedly told you before leaving, and someone will definitely come to meet you in two days."

Hearing this, Lu Hengxiu could only nod his head, acquiescing to Ying Shisan's opinion, but he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

The Shadow Guard is the emperor's body armor, and the sharp-edged swords in his hands are all selected people. Even if they are hidden stakes in the borderlands, I am afraid they will not dare to neglect their duties at will.Thinking about the bad side, maybe these people have been cleared out long before I came here.In order to deal with a relegated minister of his own, Duan Wenzheng really could afford to spend, and he didn't even have any scruples about facing the emperor's shadow guard.

This time your idea is considered wrong, the real danger is not on me who is far away from the capital, but right in front of your eyes!

Although Lu Hengxiu miscalculated with one move, it may not mean that he lost everything. Although he was of great help to Ming Jue when he was in court, all the forces that should be deployed have already been deployed, and the upstarts that should be promoted have already been promoted. Now, it may not mean that without him, Ming Jue would really be unable to move forward.

It is the dragon who is destined to rule the nine heavens, and he, Lu Hengxiu, is just a piece of cloud from Conglong. Without him, can the sea of ​​clouds still be a sea of ​​clouds?

After waiting for another two days, there was no news as Lu Hengxiu expected, and the schedule could no longer be delayed.Ying Shisan had no choice but to spend a lot of money to get the guards from the local post station to accompany him as an escort, and promised to wait until Longzhou for another thank you before going on the road.

"This Master Lu was just relegated to Longzhou to be the county magistrate. Why is there such a big battle, people who don't know think he is going to be the prefect of Longzhou?"

"Hey, it doesn't matter if he is the prefect or the county magistrate? As long as he has money."

"That's true. The guard next to him seems to be good at it. It's not bad for our buddies to work for him once with such a generous shot."

A few servants escorted a carriage and gradually drove into the Longzhou territory. Longzhou is located in the southwest.There is only one easy way to go in, so it is extremely dangerous.

However, under the flag of the government, Lu Hengxiu and his party also frightened many small thieves away, and they walked for dozens of miles without incident.

While stopping to rest, an officer came forward to report.

"My lord, there is Zhanlongpo ahead. After passing Zhanlongpo, the terrain is much gentler. If you walk another twenty li to the west, you will officially enter the boundary of Longzhou."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, everyone. Let's take a good rest, and then let's hurry up and try to enter the city before dark."

"Hey, okay." The guard agreed and ran away.

At the same time, there is a lush forest on Zhanlongpo.

"Brother, why didn't the dog officer come?"

"You son of a bitch, I don't know, wait a minute." The bandit leader who was called "big brother" squatted in the grass until his feet were numb, and he changed his posture while speaking.

"Brother, isn't the officer playing tricks on us? If you want me to say that a county magistrate doesn't have so much money."

"If he dares to play tricks on me, I will open his head." The bandit leader said as he waved the big knife in his hand, and when he turned around, he found that the target slowly entered his sight.

"Hey, hey~ Brother, do you think that is the carriage of the dog officer?" The little bandit stood up and stretched his neck to look over, but was kicked by the bandit leader and fell down on his buttocks.

"Hey, brother, why are you kicking me?"

"Stupid, what should you do if you stand up and let people see you and dare not come over? Just wait for me, and I won't take you when I come out to hunt next time. It's useless for the military adviser to intercede."

"I was wrong, I was wrong, brother, don't take me away."

"Hush, shut up, here we come, brothers are ready to attack." The bandit leader gave an order, and the bandits all showed their machetes in their hands.

However, before this group of people had time to rush down, they were cut off by others, and a group of people dressed as bandits rushed over and fought with the guards.

"Big Brother...Brother...someone intercepted someone, it must be from Heifengzhai next door. These grandsons don't know where to get the news, but they dare to intercept Brother Hu." The little bandit yelled for a long time, and finally asked the boss for advice: "Brother, what shall we do now?"

"What should I do? Damn it, no one has ever dared to take meat from Lao Tzu's jaws."

The bandit leader Wang Huzi rushed down with his brothers as soon as his brain got hot, and he didn't realize that something was wrong until he fought against the "bandits" below.

This group of "Bandits" has a uniform weapon system, and their moves and routines seem to have been practiced, which is far from being comparable to the gangsters in Heifengzhai.However, no matter how tough the idea is, it has already been touched, and it may not be so easy to get rid of it. Wang Huzi can only bite the bullet and hit it.

At the end of the fight, seeing that several of his brothers were lost, Wang Huzi also became red-eyed. He has dominated Zhanlongpo for more than ten years, and he brought his brothers to rob and killed so many people in a few times.

Ying Shisan knew that these "bandits" were actually sent by someone from the court, so he dared not leave the carriage Lu Hengxiu was riding in for a moment.

However, more than a dozen people from the other side came up wave after wave, and Ying Shisan was also paying attention to Lu Hengxiu, and gradually became blood-colored.

During the fierce battle, another team of "Bandits" rushed down unexpectedly. Ying Shisan was startled and before he could get scared, the two "Bandits" teams fought.

It was only now that Ying Thirteen saw the situation clearly. It turned out that this later group was the real bandits. Although they were also some vicious bandits, at this moment they really solved the urgent need.

Ying Shisan was overjoyed, and tried his best to counterattack, killing the enemy until they were left and right.
