The reborn prince is hard to raise

In the early summer season, the sun is shining, and the lush forest is sparse.It was already sunset time, and countless sunlight in the forest was cut to pieces by the branches, scattered scattered all over the ground, the pine wind was like a wave, and the clouds and shadows moved in a flash, and the mountains were full of lights and shadows.

There is the sound of horseshoes in the distance, chasing each other.A long whistle startled countless birds, echoed in the mountains and forests for a long time, and spread far away.

"Amu, most of the hares and pheasants in the mountains and plains have been scared away by you." Xie Yunhong rode leisurely on the horse, his water-colored outer clothes reflecting the faint sunset light, like fire.He played with the fan in his hand and said with a smile.

Mu Hanjiang lay on his back on the horse, the long howling sound disappeared from his throat.He turned his head to look at Xie Yunhong and said, "In the future, if I have a chance, I will definitely take Ah Hong to Yanyun, to watch the sunset over the long river, the sky filled with yellow sand, and to indulge in horse racing. That's the place for a man to live!" His voice was clear and clear. , with an unruly freedom like a gale, the world is held in his heart.

Countless points of light merged into his eyes, and Xie Yunhong felt the whole world brighten up in an instant.

He looked at the arrogance between Mu Hanjiang's eyebrows, and smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up, but he didn't agree or refuse.He just subconsciously shifted his gaze to the shady grass leaves beside the mountain road, feeling a little more melancholy.

As the prime minister's son, the eldest son of the Jiangnan Xie family, how could it be so easy?

In the distance, there is a clear folk song, melodious and melodious - "A trip in spring, apricot blossoms blowing all over your head. The young man on the street is full of flair. I plan to marry my wife, and I will rest for the rest of my life..."

Mu Hanjiang discerned the lyrics carefully, and asked with a doubtful smile, "It's summer now, why are you still singing this song of spring?" It's normal, not where the mind has gone.

Mu Hanjiang gradually suppressed his smile, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

The setting sun is running longitudinally, but the heart is heartbroken after hearing the song.

There was no more words all the way, and when they reached the end of the mountain road, Xie Yunhong took the reins, and pointed to the waterfall not far away with his finger attached to the whip, "Where is the place where I met Ah Heng?" His tone was the same as usual.

Mu Hanjiang nodded and got off the horse, held Xie Yunhong's horse again, and looked up at the rider on the horse, "You are also tired after traveling such a long mountain road, go over there and rest."

Xie Yunhong took a deep look at him, then looked away, got off the horse neatly, and went to the flat boulder by the river.He sat down and looked back, and saw Mu Hanjiang holding a horse with one hand, putting them on the tree trunk respectively, and reaching out to pat their heads, looking very fond of them.

Seeing that he was looking at him, he raised his hand and waved.Although it was vague, Xie Yunhong knew that there must be a particularly silly smile on his face.Looking back, Xie Yunhong looked at the misty waves and deep currents flowing slowly beside the stone, his expression gradually complicated.

After resting for nearly half an hour, the sound of horse trampling suddenly came out from the mountains and fields. The two looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a black horse galloping towards this side at an extremely fast speed.As the distance approached, it was clear that the two were riding together, Gu Mingheng was sitting in front of Lu Chengning, and a bay red horse was following behind the black horse.

"A'Ning, they've arrived." Gu Mingheng finally confirmed the two blurred figures on the boulder gradually.His voice was blown far away by the wind, Lu Chengning held his hand tightly, leaned into his ear and said, "Ah Heng, sit still."

Gu Mingheng nodded, feeling Lu Chengning's arms encircling him more tightly, and realized that even though the mountain road was so bumpy, he didn't feel worried.

The black horse neighed, and its front hooves were raised high. Lu Chengning let go of the rein and got off the horse, and stretched out his arms towards Gu Mingheng who was still sitting on the horse's back.Gu Mingheng hesitated for a moment, then dismounted with his men, with complete trust in his eyes.

The four sat on the boulder and spread out the map.Mu Hanjiang pointed to the staggered lines on the map, "We have already passed Yongjing and Chuzhou, and now we are on the border of Cangzhou. Following this tributary, we will find the lower reaches of the Anlan River. At that time, we were far away from Huizhou. It’s just across the river.”

He said and looked up at Lu Chengning, "According to Aning's deduction, if they want to attack, they must be in this area." While talking, he drew a circle on the map with his finger, and the location was exactly where they were.

"According to the itinerary, where are the crown prince's guard of honor and the marching army now?" Lu Chengning asked calmly, his eyes falling on the map.

"The crown prince's guard of honor should be on the official road from Cangzhou to Huizhou. According to the original itinerary, it will take at least seven days to reach the Anlan River." Mu Hanjiang said in a lower voice, "The first marching army must have reached the border of Huizhou Stationed, Zhao Xian's branch is also ready."

As he spoke, a bloodthirsty look appeared in his eyes, like a wolf seeing its prey.

The half-round sunset slowly sank, the light in the mountains and forests gradually dimmed, and the dense tree trunks were surrounded by mist, like a miasma.Here is a dense jungle at a glance, without seeing the border, it is deep and inexplicably horrifying.Occasionally, a tired bird returning home made a sharp cry, which made people even more shocked.

Lu Chengning sat calmly in an open area not far from the boulder. There was a black scabbard in the corner beside him, which was very inconspicuous.The hand hidden in the sleeve was tightly holding Gu Mingheng's hand.Because he has practiced martial arts for several years, his palms are covered with thick calluses, a little rough, but inexplicably reassuring.

The four of them sat around the fire and ate meals cooked in clay pots. The faint aroma wafted far away. The blazing fire was the only light in the entire dense forest.

Mu Hanjiang filled a bowl of fish soup and handed it to Xie Yunhong, "Master, I was famous for making snake soup back then, and I'm sure it won't be too bad to make fish soup here. Would you like to try it, Ah Hong?" His eyes reflected the fire, with scorching heat.

Xie Yunhong paused while holding the fan, and frowned slightly when he heard the word "snake soup", but when he saw the fish soup in the bamboo bowl looked delicious in color and fragrance, Mu Hanjiang looked at it expectantly again. In my heart, I don't want to refuse.He stretched out his hand to take it, but found that Mu Hanjiang's expression suddenly changed, and he no longer had the joyful and soft expression just now.

Gently putting the fish soup in Xie Yunhong's hand, Mu Hanjiang held the weapon by his side and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect it to come so soon..." He said and glanced at Lu Chengning.

Lu Chengning was looking down at the fire with lowered eyelashes, but he obviously pulled Gu Mingheng towards him, with a clear sense of protection.And the other hand has already held the long sword in it extremely quickly.His expression was extremely calm, as if he was discerning the direction of danger.

For a while, the forest was silent, and even the birds sensed the danger and disappeared without a trace. The only sound was the crackling of dry wood in the fire.

Not long after, the sound of clay pots breaking suddenly sounded in the forest, and the soup in the pot fell directly onto the flames, and the fire was extinguished instantly.In the dim light, a swift black figure suddenly appeared from among the branches and leaves, with a very clear target and rushed towards the direction of Lu Chengning and the four of them.They held sharp knives in their hands, and a cold light flashed on the tip of the knives.

The moment the flame was extinguished by overturning the clay pot, Lu Chengning quickly hugged Gu Mingheng and ran in another direction, and then Zhao Xian's voice came from behind, "Shoot!" The soldier who suddenly appeared bent his bow When the men in black approached, the densely packed arrows shot out in unison, causing countless casualties.

The speed of the men in black's attack stopped. At this time, the second team of archers shot arrows again. The men in black couldn't resist, and there was the muffled sound of countless arrows like flesh and blood.

Taking advantage of the gap when the offensive slowed down, the soldiers hidden on the flanks quietly appeared, and then the remaining men in black were killed one by one by the dim light very neatly. The sound is like a Shura song.

In less than half an hour, nearly a thousand men in black were beheaded by swords one after another, and a team of soldiers patrolled and cleaned them up. If they saw a man in black who was not completely dead, they would make up for it.At the beginning, their hands holding the handle of the knife were still trembling, but now they were more bloodthirsty.

It was already dark, and after the end, the torches gradually lit up, and only then did we see the situation clearly.The ground has been stained red with blood, countless corpses are piled up together, stumped limbs and meat scraps are messed up, and there is no life left.

Lu Chengning withdrew his gaze, looked at Gu Mingheng with some worry, and saw that his expression was calm, with no fear or aversion to the massacre, so he felt relieved.

"Zhao Xian." Lu Chengning said lightly, perhaps because of such a situation, his tone was tinged with hostility.

Zhao Xian, who was in armor, came out holding a long spear, and knelt down on one knee, "Your Highness!" The voice was decisive and powerful.His spear was still stained with blood and dried up.

"How about the death rate of the left and right Si Yu?" Lu Chengning, who was dressed in black, stood in the firelight, his eyes were as dark as night, with a murderous aura, it was only at this moment that people knew what the awe of majesty was.

"Your Highness, there are 2000 people in total, 23 people were killed and 86 people were injured." Since the surprise attack was used, the casualties were extremely small.

Although he knew that there would be casualties, and even such a small casualty was much better than expected, but Zhao Xian still had sadness on his face when he thought of the brothers who lived together day and night in the Xihoushan school field in the past and now died here.

"Let's deal with it according to the prearrangement." Lu Chengning closed his eyes, remained silent for a few seconds, and suddenly raised his voice, "The dead are dead, but! They are all my Dayong's heroes, punishing traitors and protecting the lord! Even though they have long slept Here, but Gu will never forget their sacrifices, they will always live among the mountains and rivers of my Dayong!"

The sound resounded through the mountains, which was the most passionate and sincere sacrifice to the dead.Lu Chengning waved his long sleeves, stood with his hands behind his back, his quiet eyes swept across the straight soldiers one by one, and said word by word, "You all are lonely pride, lonely shields and sharp knives!"

The voice stopped, and the soldiers with long blades all knelt on one knee, the sound of armor rubbing against each other was very clear, their backs were straight, like swords exuding murderous aura, and they offered their loyalty to their lord with their lives.

The point of the king's will is the direction of our sword!

At this time, a messenger torch suddenly burst from the dense forest not far away, and the sound was dull.Lu Chengning's eyes froze - it was a signal sent by the pre-arranged messengers, so that they could be notified quickly in case of emergencies.

However, within a few breaths, a succession of messenger torches rose into the air and exploded. Judging from the distance, the sudden dangerous force was getting closer.

——With such a fast speed and lethality, it must be another unknown force lying in ambush!
