It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

"Clap! Clap!"

The cavalry is at the vanguard, with one horse in front and two horses behind.

Without even a grunt, the knight fell headfirst and was thrown two or three feet away.

The second wave of knights hurriedly took up the reins,

He jumped over the body of the fallen warhorse and continued his charge.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Lu Yuan calmly pulled the trigger and fired three shots in a row.

Six horses fell on the road,
Six knights were scattered around, screaming in pain.
They only broke their arms and legs, and all six horses had bullets in their brows.
The two sides were several dozen steps apart.
With the help of the light of the torch, it was not difficult for Lu Yuan to hit wherever he pointed.

The six dead horses completely blocked the Nanyun cavalry's attack momentum.

The cavalry in the rear had to pull the reins of their horses urgently and got stuck together.

Lu Yuan knew that he only had one bullet left in his gun.
But still fearless,

"Everyone, you are all native to this place,

I have no intention of hurting anyone, could you please ask the person in charge to come out and speak?"

Leader No. 1 was shocked by the opponent's accurate shooting.

Without knowing what "ammunition capacity" was, he dared not give the order to charge.

It is obvious that the opponent's "pistol" can even kill war horses. It is so sharp!

"Not afraid of death" and "wanting to die" are two completely different things.

After confirming the bullet hole on the horse's forehead, the leader felt a chill in his heart.
This time, I hit a wall...

"What benefits did the Zhu family give you that are worth your life?"

Lu Yuan said calmly:
"Whether you believe it or not, I didn't betray Nanyun..."

"laugh!"

Leader No. 1 obviously didn't believe it.
"You haven't done anything wrong, why are you running?"

"Because, no matter how I explain it, you won't believe it... You burned down my house, right?"

Uh!
Leader No. 1 was a little embarrassed.
Since they couldn't catch the person, they took their anger out on his ancestral home. That's a bit mean.
However, he also saw that this kid from the Shen family was not simple.
"Okay! I'll trust you for once.
In this way, as long as you are willing to help me, I will forgive you for what happened..."

In his opinion, this is already a "wise monarch" who can hold a boat in his stomach.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan shook his head and said:

"Thank you for your kindness, but I have decided not to help either of us.

Well, I also rejected Zhu Jiu’s invitation…”

Leader No. 1 asked in confusion:

"You seem to be quite capable. Don't you want to stand out and bring honor to your family?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "I really haven't thought about it.

I just want to live a peaceful life with my family..."

Leader No. 1 said:
"Troubled times are coming, you can't be safe just because you want to be safe..."

At this time, he gritted his teeth and said temptingly:

"As long as you are willing to join me, you will immediately become the squadron leader..."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "So, you are the number one leader?"

"Yes, it's me, what do you think?
I keep my word, and I stick to my words!"

Lu Yuan said:

"I'm so sorry! If I were you, I would take my brothers and leave safely now..."

Leader No. 1 was startled.
As if by telepathy, he looked towards Sanchapu.

In the distance, a dozen or so points of light flashed.

Hey!
Zhu Yingjun's cavalry!
He immediately turned his horse's head and said, "Brothers, get on your horses and retreat!"

His men immediately helped the six injured cavalrymen onto their comrades' horses and retreated together.

At this time, Lu Yuan couldn't help but said:

"I'll give you a piece of advice. If all else fails, join the Zhu family!"

Leader No. 1 was puzzled and turned to ask, "What do you mean?"

Lu Yuan waved his hand and said sincerely:

"I just want fewer people to die, preferably not a single one...

To tell you the truth, the Zhu family is too powerful, Nan Yun can’t stop them…”

"Are you bluffing me?!"

Lu Yuan sighed and said:

"There is no benefit in lying to you. If you don't believe me, go investigate it yourself.
Let’s go quickly, I will try my best to hold Zhu Jiu back…”

Taking one last look at the flickering fire, Leader No. 1 laughed at himself and said:

"Okay! Consider it a favor to you... Let's go!"

The Nanyun Cavalry retreated completely in the blink of an eye.

When Zhu Di and Zhu Yingjun arrived with fifty cavalrymen,
Lu Yuan had already taken his parents and the injured scout to the roadside.
Looking at the dead horses on the road,
Zhu Yingjun asked in doubt, "Did Nanyun's people just leave like that?"

Lu Yuan returned the gun to Judy and said calmly:
"You guys can't get any good out of them. I gave the leader some words of advice and they left!"

Zhu Yingjun is not a careless person.

After seeing the wounds of the six war horses, he praised them:

"I can't believe you're such a sharpshooter. Where did you learn how to shoot?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said:

"Nine Young Master taught me... three points in a straight line, isn't it enough to just have hands?"

Judy blinked her big eyes, thinking that Lu Yuan was too pretentious...

She practiced for half a month and could occasionally hit the ten rings, but was basically stable at seven or eight rings.

It was her turn. She shot six out of six.

And they all hit the top of the horse's door, which is absolutely impossible.

She remembered it clearly.

Before tonight, Lu Yuan had never touched a gun, not even once.

But, every time he shot, he hit the target's head...his shooting skills are truly incredible!
The cavalry captain looked at Mars in the distance and asked Zhu Yingjun for instructions.
"Sir, do you want to chase them and kill them?"

Zhu Yingjun was obviously more interested in Shen Beixuan.
Of course, there is also the latest information brought back by the scouts. He waved his hand and said:
"The Art of War says: Do not stop a retreating army, and do not pursue an enemy who is desperate...

Clean up here and let's talk about everything tomorrow!"

Although the bridles, saddles, stirrups and other accessories on the war horses were taken away by the Nanyun people,
However, in the era of material scarcity,

Six war horses are still good meat,

Why not provide free meals to the brothers for half a month?
Father Shen and his wife hid in a ditch, all wet and in a mess.

But, I got some rest.
So, under the escort of the cavalry, they rushed to Sanchapu.
Why do cavalrymen lead horses?
Of course I feel sorry for the warhorse.

Let me popularize some military knowledge in the cold weapon era.
Except for forced marches or missions, all professional cavalrymen march by leading their horses...

The main purpose is to preserve the horse's combat effectiveness, so that it can charge and fight at the best condition at any time.

Another reality is that cavalrymen are not as valuable as war horses.

Even the owner of Sanchapu, Zhu Yingjun, dismounted and walked.
After all, it's only three miles away, so you can get there by just walking.
And I can also take this opportunity to chat more with Shen Beixuan.

Being able to fight ten people alone is already amazing, and now he is also known as a "sharpshooter".

Shouldn't we hurry up and recruit such an "unparalleled warrior" and keep him for the New Year?
"I'm Judy's second brother. I'm honored to call you Brother Shen. Do you mind?"

"Don't be polite, Second Young Master. You can call me whatever you want as long as you like!"

"Good! I can see that Brother Shen is a straightforward person.
I won't hide anything, I'll speak frankly.
Are you interested in working with me? You can set any conditions you want! "

Lu Yuan was even more straightforward: “Second Master, please forgive me!

I have parents and a younger sister to take care of at home, I am really sorry! "

Judy suddenly smiled and said, "Brother, I've already asked... Don't embarrass me..."

Zhu Yingjun was not angry, he just laughed.
"It's okay! Later,
Zhuxiantai is your new home, live here with peace of mind, no one dares to mess with you!"

After walking a few steps, Zhu Yingjun started to ask questions again.
"Brother Shen, you are such an accurate shooter, do you have any secret?"

"Well, I don't know.

Just focus on the crosshairs and the target, and then pull the trigger..."

"Oh! This is interesting. Let's find some time to discuss it tomorrow..."

"It is better to obey orders than to be respectful!"

"By the way, don't sell the fish you catch next time. Bring them directly to the barracks. I'll take care of everything!"

"Thank you, Second Young Master..."

"No, we are all friends, it would be awkward to thank you..."

Just like that, after some awkward conversation, the group finally entered the town of Sanchapu.
When they arrived at the militia compound, Zhu Yingjun ordered the orderly to arrange a guest room for the Shen family to rest and live in.
He also specially instructed the kitchen to prepare a hot midnight snack for the Shen family.
He left his sister to take care of her, and then he ran to ask the peddler and scout,
"How did that secret agent get discovered?"

"Second Master, I'm not sure either.
When I first arrived, I didn’t see anyone. Nanyun’s people had set up an ambush in advance... Later, I couldn’t escape..."

"Don't worry, I just want to know where the problem is..."

The scouts also helped analyze and find the cause.
However, due to lack of means, we still cannot achieve the goal.
In fact, only a few senior personnel within Nanyun knew the whole story.

There is another matter, which is more important and urgent to Zhu Yingjun.
The war was imminent. Without the specific intelligence from the spies, the Zhu family was like a blind and deaf person.

If you act recklessly, you will pay the price in blood!

We must go back to Nanyun Town and arrange spies to gather military intelligence.

The peddler scouts were obviously no longer useful.

Who to choose? What image to use? What method to take to sneak into Nanyun, all of them are very complicated.

After the Shen family tidied up, they went to bed to rest.

The militia station was similar to a military camp, with a family of four sleeping on a bunk bed.
Before going to bed, Zhu Danfeng asked, "When can we go home?"

Father Shen and his wife were silent.

Suddenly encountered this unexpected disaster,

Now, they are displaced.

Even the family’s land was lost. How are we going to live in the future?
As for when to return home...only God knows!

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said:
"Don't worry, as long as we are together, no matter where we live, it's home!"

After listening to her brother's words, Shen Danfeng thought about it and felt that it made sense.
"Yes! My brother and I will catch more fish and sell them in the future. We will use the money we earn to support our parents!"

The old lady sighed in her heart, but said comfortingly:

"It's getting late. We have to travel tomorrow. Let's go to sleep~~"

Judy came to see Zhu Yingjun,
After discussing the changes in Nanyun Town, Zhu Yingjun said:

"Even if we don't have any intelligence, we can still take it down if we just push hard!"

Judy asked: "Actually, we can arrange for someone from the state lord to go there..."

Zhu Yingjun thought about it and thought it was a good idea. After all, it was originally agreed that he would take half of the family.
Although the prince considered her as a dowry, now due to the current situation, they can only work together.

"Okay, I see... By the way, what's going on between you and Xiao Shen?"

"What's going on?"

Zhu Yingjun asked, "You've been going to his house a lot lately, is there a reason for that?"

"Friends are just ordinary friends!"

Zhu Yingjun definitely can't believe it.

Why don’t I see you going to other ordinary friends’ homes?

"Don't get me wrong, I think you're not that young anymore..."

Judy widened her eyes, snorted, turned around and left.

Seeing that my sister didn't want to talk about this,
Zhu Yingjun became more and more puzzled. What was going on?

If you like that boy, it won't be a problem for our family to recruit a son-in-law.

But judging from the signs, it doesn’t seem to be the case... What’s the point of this weird thing?
However, he has a lot of things to do.
Anyway, my sister's marriage was ultimately decided by my father, so he was happy to have some free time.

The next day, Judy arranged a carriage.
Carrying the two old ones and one young one, together with Lu Yuan on horseback, they rushed to Zhuxiantai.

Lu Yuan and Judy drove side by side, following the carriage slowly.

It's more than ten miles away, and we won't reach our destination until at least noon.
Lu Yuan's riding skills were also quite superb, which made Judy even more curious.
"Hey! Seriously, how come you know everything?"

Lu Yuan was embarrassed to say that the impressions of his previous lives were still in his mind, so he smiled and said:

"I can't help it. It seems like I was born with this ability..."

"You idiot! Can you cook?"

"One eye, one eye!"

Judy smiled and said, "Oh, then tell me, what dishes can you cook?"

Lu Yuan simply confessed: "Let me put it this way,
Flying in the sky, crawling on the ground, swimming in the water, frying, stir-frying, cooking, there is nothing I don't know!"

"Okay! That's what you said.
I'll prepare the materials right away, don't cheat!"

Lu Yuan made an "OK" gesture and said, "The rag is leaking and the tears are in my eyes!"

Halfway through the journey, I found a quiet place in the wilderness.

Everyone took a break, let the water flow, moved around, stretched their legs, took a few steps, etc.
Shen Danfeng was in a hurry to relieve herself, so she shyly went to the forest to relieve herself.
However, just as Shen Danfeng entered the woods, she heard a cry of fear.

"Ah! Help!"

Lu Yuan was the first to react and rushed forward.
I saw a gray wolf, resting on Shen Danfeng's back, frantically scratching the throat of its "prey".

Shen Danfeng held her head tightly with both hands and screamed desperately.
I never expected that there would be wolves in this place...

"bass!"

Lu Yuan flew forward like lightning and kicked fiercely.
"Ouch!"

The wolf was kicked more than ten feet away and howled a few times. It was obvious that the kick was not light.
But, beasts are beasts.

Not only was he not afraid, but he bared his teeth and pounced on me again.

Lu Yuan had already dragged his sister up.
He asked, staring at the wolf.

"Are you injured anywhere?"

At this time, Judy also ran over. When she saw the big bad wolf, she was so scared that she immediately raised her gun and fired.

"Clap clap clap!"

"Ouch!"

The beast's front limb was shot, and it felt pain instantly. Seeing that there were too many humans, it quickly made the most sensible decision.
If you can’t afford to offend, the best strategy is to run away!

Seeing the wolf limping away, Judy chased after it and continued firing.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

However, the gray wolf is relatively small, has a low posture, and its movements are not as predictable as those of humans.

Therefore, all three shots were fired in vain.
In the blink of an eye, the hungry lone wolf disappeared into the bushes, and no one heard from it again...

Shen Danfeng quickly regained her composure and recounted her experience.

At first, when she squatted down, she heard a slight noise behind her.

But when she turned around, she didn't see anything and thought it was just the wind blowing the leaves off, so she didn't pay any attention to it.

But when she turned back,

The big bad wolf suddenly attacked from behind and pounced on him.
After examination, except for some scratches and abrasions on the hands, neck and head, the problem was not serious.
Judy carried medicine with her.

After cleaning Shen Danfeng's wound, she applied some medicinal powder and then tied it up with a cloth strip.

However, because of the shock she received this time, it is likely to become a psychological shadow for her.

Alas, in times of chaos and disorder, everything is like straw dogs...

After such a delay, Lu Yuan and others did not arrive at Zhuxiantai until the afternoon.

Father and Mother Shen looked at the bustling town and felt distressed.
"Son, where are we staying today?" (End of this chapter)
