Mao Wenlong was slightly surprised, according to Ye Yan, if you want to resume farming in a large area in Xuzhou, you must clean up the siltation of all rivers. There are a lot of rivers in Xuzhou, this is definitely a big project, and Mao Wenlong can't imagine how much manpower and financial resources are spent at the moment.

Frowning tightly, Mao Wenlong smiled bitterly: "Since you are so familiar with these things, you must also know in your heart, tell me how much manpower and financial resources are needed to clean up the siltation of this river?" ”

A trace of disappointment flashed in Ye Yan's eyes, and he said lonely: "This is currently impossible to estimate at all, and it must be investigated on the spot before a preliminary estimate can be made." But one thing can be clear, that is, if you really want to do this, the manpower and financial resources are absolutely astronomical. Otherwise, the imperial court would not turn a blind eye and let the river silt up like this. ”

Mao Wenlong nodded, he agreed with Ye Yan's idea, it seems that this matter will not be able to be carried out for a while. Fortunately, there will be time in the future, and major events like this can be solved slowly later!

At this moment, there was a sudden earth-shattering sound of killing outside, and before Mao Wenlong could ask what was going on, he saw Hao Da hurriedly running in, clasping his fists and saying: "General soldier, there has been a fight in the military fort, and a group of bandits have broken through the encirclement of the army and are rushing towards us." ”

All the 30,000 soldiers and horses under Mao Wenlong's command had pressed up and surrounded the military fort, and the rear was completely empty at the moment. Mao Wenlong was surrounded by only Haoda, Haoxiao and more than 20 personal soldiers, in order to ensure Mao Wenlong's safety, Haoda proposed to avoid this gang of bandits who fled in panic.

Mao Wenlong agreed to the huge proposal after a little hesitation, and the dog would jump off the wall when he was in a hurry, not to mention this group of frightened thieves who fled in panic. Mao Wenlong felt that there was no need to fight them at all.

After Haoda got Mao Wenlong's consent, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately organized twenty personal soldiers, and then escorted Mao Wenlong and Ye Yan's brothers and sisters to leave the big tent and go to the army surrounding the military fort.

However, things were not as simple as the vast imagination, and the gang of bandits actually turned halfway and rushed towards Mao Wenlong again. Obviously, their target was Mao Wenlong, not the fleeing bandits.

Haoda and Haoxiao immediately realized that it was not good, and the two of them clasped their sabers in their hands and shouted to the twenty pro-soldiers: "Protect the general soldiers, go and join the army immediately." ”

"Yes!" Twenty pro-soldiers dutifully performed their duties, and they did not care about the safety of the vast and small ones after the preparation. Immediately escorted Mao Wenlong to turn around and leave!

Mao Wenlong originally wanted to drink, but seeing that the gang of bandits rushing over was overwhelming, in order not to add trouble to Hao Da and Hao Xiao, he had to flee as soon as possible.

The bandits were two hundred cavalrymen, and while they were galloping, the weapons in their hands were waving in the air, and they were all roaring and screaming. Just after Mao Wenlong separated from Haoda and Haoxiao, this group of bandits immediately divided their troops to pursue.

Only less than ten horsemen continued to gallop towards Haoda and Haoxiao, and the rest still chased after Mao Wenlong.

Seeing this, Haoda and Haoxiao were suddenly anxious, and immediately rushed behind Mao Wenlong after collecting their knives, but the two legs obviously couldn't outrun the four-legged war horse. After a while, the two were surrounded by ten bandits, and the two sides immediately fought.

The bandits obviously came prepared, and after they caught up with Mao Wenlong and others, they used the momentum of the cavalry to instantly separate Mao Wenlong from the twenty personal soldiers.

Mao Wenlong was surrounded in an instant, Ye Yan's face was full of nervousness, this group of bandit cavalry acted quickly, there was no chaos at all, and they were strictly disciplined. Apparently professionally trained, it can be seen at a glance that it is by no means comparable to ordinary bandits!

A war horse suddenly galloped from behind, and everywhere it went, the bandits who were in the way avoided one after another. When Mao Wenlong heard the voice, he saw a fiery red figure approaching him, and then a coquettish voice exploded in his ears: "Mao Wenlong, hurry up and arrest him!" ”

At the same time as the cheers exploded, the fiery figure had already arrived in front of Mao Wenlong, and at this time, Ye Yan on the side suddenly exclaimed: "Red lady!" Oh my God, it's the Red Lady......"

However, before Ye Yan's exclamation was finished, the fiery figure had already rushed directly to Ye Yan's side with people and horses, and the long sword in the red lady's hand waved casually, and the sword light appeared, and Ye Yan also fell to the ground in response.

Mao Wenlong's face changed greatly, but before he could see whether Ye Yan was alive or dead, the red lady's horse head turned and she had already appeared in front of Mao Wenlong. The war horse was gently reined by her, and immediately raised its front hooves high, and she was about to trample Mao Wenlong, who was full of stunned faces, under the hooves.

However, Mao Wenlong only felt a sudden blow to the back of his neck, and then he passed unconscious.

When the red lady was about to trample on Mao Wenlong in the front hooves of the war horse, the long sword in her hand had already come first, knocking Mao Wenlong unconscious. Then the reins were slammed again, and the war horse immediately turned, and its front hooves also fell heavily beside Mao Wenlong, who had not yet fallen to the ground.

"Drive!"

The red lady suddenly clamped her legs around the horse's belly, and the war horse let out a mournful roar, raised its hooves and galloped. And the red lady also reached out at the critical moment, grabbed the crumbling Mao Wenlong, and put the unconscious Mao Wenlong on the horse's back with the momentum of the horse rushing forward.

This series of actions is smooth and quite sophisticated, and it can be seen that the red lady's riding skills and skills are first-class.

"Withdraw!"

After the red lady caught Mao Wenlong, she left in the dust, and her coquettish shouts came from afar.

Immediately after his departure, the rest of the bandits fled in all directions.

This coming and going was as fast as the wind, and the momentum was fierce but no one saw blood, except for Mao Wenlong being arrested, Ye Yan was knocked unconscious.

Haoda, Haoxiao and the two quickly rushed over, but they looked around for Mao Wenlong's figure but never saw it. Later, he woke up Ye Yan and learned that Mao Wenlong had been captured by the bandits.

The news immediately reached the ears of Chen Jisheng and Xu Fuzuo, who were attacking the military fort, and the two did not dare to slack off at all, and Mingjin withdrew his troops. Leaving behind the military fort that was about to be breached, he led his troops to follow the trail of the bandits.

However, the army pursued for less than two miles before the bandits were completely lost. Chen Jisheng and Xu Fusheng immediately fell into anxiety and distress, and Haoda and Haoxiao and the twenty personal soldiers came to Chen Jisheng with shameful faces.

"Tie up!" Chen Jisheng was anxious about Mao Wenlong's safety, and immediately ordered everyone to be tied up.

Haoda, Haoxiao, and twenty pro-soldiers were full of pain, they were willing to admit punishment, but they were unwilling to be kidnapped by a group of bandits of unknown origin like this.

Haoda said to Chen Jisheng: "Big brother, it doesn't matter how you want to punish us, even if you cut off our heads, we won't say a word." But please give us a chance to put out, we will die on the battlefield even if we die, please give us a chance to save the general soldiers! ”

"Please give us a chance to save the commander!" Others hurried to speak out.

Chen Jisheng's face was pale, and Mao Wenlong was suddenly captured, which was completely unexpected by him. In fact, if he is really investigated, he himself will not be able to escape responsibility. After all, he was a marshal who led the troops, but he carelessly made the rear completely empty, resulting in Mao Wenlong being captured and being drilled by those bandits.

"Alas!" The helpless Chen Jisheng finally didn't know what to do with Haoda, Haoxiao, what should they do?

Xu Fuzuo came up and said: "Big brother, forget it, now is not the time to be held responsible, we should find out the chief soldier as soon as possible, and it is only right to rescue him!" ”

Chen Jisheng hesitated for a moment, waved his hand to let the soldiers untie them, and said distressedly: "I am also anxious to rescue the general soldiers, but that group of bandits obviously came prepared, and even arranged the retreat seamlessly. Now we don't have a clue, where do we start? ”

Xu Fuzuo suddenly fell into depression, and in a hurry, he simply said: "It is urgent to save the general army, so let's divide the troops to find it, so that at least it can be more efficient." ”

Chen Jisheng also felt that it made sense, and was about to agree, but Ye Yan was helped over at this time. He shouted urgently, "I know who those bandits are. ”

Ye Yan's shout immediately attracted everyone present, and their eyes looked at it in unison.

Ye Yan, who was still unable to walk, quickly came to Chen Jisheng with the support of two soldiers, and he hurriedly said: "That gang of bandits is the most powerful bandit force except for those officials and bandits in the military fort. Led by a woman known as the Red Lady, this gang of robbers has always been elusive, but they never hurt the people, and they only rob corrupt officials. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, let's talk about what kind of red lady where is their nest?" Chen Jisheng directly yelled.

Ye Yan was frightened by Chen Jisheng, and was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, and quickly explained: "General Chen doesn't need to worry, the life of the chief soldier is definitely safe, I think that the red lady should have something to do with the chief soldier, so she made this decision." ”

Xu Fuzuo was so anxious that he was angry, why did he care why the damn red lady wanted to catch Mao Wenlong, he leaned in one step, stretched out his hand and grabbed Ye Yan off the ground. Then he put his fierce face in front of Ye Yan, and said viciously: "You don't talk nonsense, tell me where the bandit lives." ”

Feeling the thick murderous aura on Xu Fujuan's body, Ye Yan's whole body trembled slightly, he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, he stretched out his hand and pointed straight ahead and said: "Three miles ahead, there is a valley, which is called Eagle's Beak Cliff by the locals. And the bandits dwelt there! ”

"Lead the way ahead!" Xu Fuyu threw Ye Yan back to the two soldiers, then turned around and began to shout for the army to set off.

Ye Yan, who came to remind him kindly, didn't expect that his kindness was not reciprocated, and he was finally called around and not talked, and he was threatened. With a depressed mood, Ye Yan was led by a cavalryman with a war horse in front of the army.

The red lady grabbed Mao Wenlong, who was knocked unconscious, and quickly rushed back to the eagle's beak cliff under the cover of her subordinates, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the only way in and out is this very narrow mountain stream path.

The trail is flanked by towering cliffs, and if you ambush people and horses on it, and then get some equipment, it is definitely a wonderful place to be a man and a woman.

In fact, this place is indeed heavily defended, and when the red lady enters this path, she must first play the banner, so that the place of the ambush is her return.

It was quite rugged, and the horse walked very slowly, and at the same time it shook a lot. Mao Wenlong on horseback was shocked and gradually woke up, and he saw a red lady in fiery cardboard armor with one eye.

With big eyebrows and big eyes, a smart nose and a small mouth, she is not the kind of woman who is very beautiful, but she is quite heroic, and she belongs to the type that is attractive.

"Who are you to take me there?" Mao Wenlong looked at it secretly for a moment before he spoke in a low voice.

Feeling that Mao Wenlong had come to his senses, the look on the red lady's face immediately became vigilant, and the long sword in her hand was clenched tightly. Then he always alluded to Mao Wenlong's head, intentionally or unintentionally.

If Mao Wengentian dared to have any abnormality, she would definitely stab down with a sword to achieve the effect of defeating the enemy.

Although Mao Wenlong is not a martial arts master, he still has this dangerous feeling, and he does not dare to have the slightest abnormal action. He tried to look normal as much as he could, but his eyes unconsciously rolled around, taking in everything he could see.

The red lady didn't seem to feel any danger from Mao Wenlong, the expression on her face relaxed a little, and then said in a coquettish voice: "Today, I forcibly captured General Mao, of course, there is something to discuss." If there is any offense, I hope to forgive me! ”

Mao Wenlong didn't seem to believe it, he frowned, and said in a deep voice: "If you just want to talk to me, you can come to me openly, why bother to make such a situation." ”

The red lady covered her mouth and smiled: "General Mao is joking, there are more than 30,000 people under your command, and we are just a few bandits." Before I understood whether General Mao was friend or foe to us, I thought this was the safest way to meet. ”

Mao Wenlong's body was lying on the horse's back, and he was shaken in pain, and he just wanted to struggle to change to a more comfortable lying position. Unexpectedly, as soon as his body moved, the blade of the red lady's sword was already against his neck.

"Don't mess around, people's lives are at stake, I'm just lying on my stomach uncomfortable and changing my position." Mao Wenlong rolled his eyes.

The red lady in front of her looks okay, but this doesn't seem to have a good temper, at least at the moment, she is still full of defensiveness against him.

The red lady stared at Mao Wenlong for a long time before she slowly withdrew her sword and warned coldly: "I advise you not to play any tricks, otherwise if you kill you by mistake, you can only be blamed for your bad luck." ”

Mao Wenlong shrugged his shoulders helplessly to indicate that he knew, and then signaled with his eyes if he could change his posture. The red lady hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement, Mao Wenlong seemed to be in a hurry, so he hurriedly used his hands and feet together, propped up his body and sat on the saddle.

Mao Wenlong is in front, the red lady is behind, a man and a woman are riding a war horse like this, no matter how you look at this picture, it doesn't feel right. At first, the red lady didn't realize anything, but as the horse shook when it moved, the bodies of the two kept colliding, and inevitable friction occurred.

A strange feeling immediately spread throughout the red lady's body, her pretty face flew red, and a trace of confusion and panic flashed in her eyes!
