Peking City.
Inside the Peking Palace.
This day.
Luo Yi is handling military affairs in the palace.
Luo Chun walked in quickly from outside, cupped his hands and said, "Prince Qi, there is an invitation arriving from outside."
When Luo Yi heard this, he raised his head slightly and asked casually: "Where is the invitation?"
Luo Chun replied: "It is an invitation sent by Master Shubao of Licheng County, saying that Mrs. Qin is celebrating her sixtieth birthday."
Hearing this, Luo Yi was stunned for a moment, then took the invitation and said casually: "Well...if this is the case, I should go there."
Speaking of which.
He then ordered Luo Chun to invite Luo Cheng.
Luo Chun nodded and followed the order.
Not for a while.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the mansion.
The two siblings, Luo Cheng and Dongfang Yumei, came to the main hall hand in hand, raised their hands together, and saluted Luo Yi.
"Dad, why did you call me here?"
Luo Cheng came to Luo Yi with a smile and asked.
Seeing this, Luo Yi looked at the hands held by Luo Cheng and Dongfang Yumei without any trace, and then said: "Your cousin Qin Qiong is celebrating your aunt's sixtieth birthday. I plan to let you go to pay homage to her, are you willing?" "
Upon hearing this.
Luo Cheng's face lit up and he said with a smile: "That's okay, my aunt hasn't seen me yet, and I miss my cousin very much."
Luo Yi nodded and said, "In that case, you can go back and report to your mother and let her choose some gifts herself."
Luo Cheng nodded, agreed, and then took Dongfang Yumei and trotted all the way to the back hall. He said to his mother Qin Shengzhu: "Mom! My cousin came to invite me to celebrate my aunt's sixtieth birthday. Daddy said so. I’m going to pay birthdays.”
Qin Shengzhu had not seen her sister-in-law for many years. After hearing this, she was very happy and said: "That's great. Cheng'er, when you go to pay your birthday, you can let your aunt take a look. She also likes it... Yes... Okay, have you prepared your birthday gifts?"
Luo Chengdao: "Dad is considerate, and my mother is about to choose the birthday gift herself!"
Qin Shengzhu smiled slightly and said angrily: "You little monkey is so talkative!"
Speaking of which.
She turned her eyes slightly, looked at Dongfang Yumei, and said with a smile: "Niece Dongfang, would you like to accompany me to choose gifts?"
Dongfang Yumei nodded, cupped her hands and said, "My little girl, just follow the princess's orders!"
Don't talk about choosing gifts.
Just say five or six days later.
The gifts from Beiping Mansion have been prepared.
Na Luo Yi ordered eight generals, Du Wenzhong, Xia Fengchun, Qu Tutong, Qu Tugai, Yuchi Nan, Yuchi Bei, Shang Qingshan and Xia Yushan, and placed them together with birthday gifts and luggage, and placed ten ladles in total. Twenty more strong soldiers were selected to follow them. They changed their gear, prepared their horses, and hung up their weapons. They left the south gate of Beiping Prefecture and headed straight for Licheng County, Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province.
This journey was speechless.
Everyone started from Beiping City, crossed the Hun River, and left Changxindian.
Luo Cheng was riding on the western little white dragon horse, holding the five-hook divine flying spear, and looked around, full of curiosity.
Sudden.
He turned sideways and asked Du Wenzhong: "Brother Du, I heard that horse thieves have been quite rampant in recent times?"
When Du Wenzhong heard this, he immediately replied: "That's true... A few days ago, even the patron king's royal bar was robbed by thieves."
When Luo Cheng heard this, he sneered, suddenly changed the topic, and asked Du Wenzhong again: "By the way, Brother Du, I had a dream yesterday, and I dreamed that this five-hook bright silver god flew from the muzzle of my hand. He said that he wanted to drink some of the enemy's blood, how to decipher this dream?"
When Du Wenzhong heard this, his head felt swollen, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Young Master, are you just making fun of me?"
Luo Yi smiled and continued: "Brother Du, how can I make fun of you? Just now I heard you said that thieves are rampant. I brought so many gifts. I'm afraid it will attract the attention of thieves on the road... In my opinion, that's not the case. It's better to strike first, lure a few thieves out, kill them, and at least intimidate Xiaoxiao."
When Du Wenzhong heard this, he shook his head and said, "No, no, no! Young Master, when people go out, they all say they have a safe journey. It's better for us to go out, and we are looking for trouble!"
Luo Cheng chuckled and did not reply to Du Wenzhong's words. He looked sideways at Xia Fengchun and asked, "Brother Xia, what do you say?"
Xia Fengchun is Luo Yi's apprentice, and he obeys the Luo family's words the most, so he nodded and said: "I just listen to the young master!"
Seeing this situation, Du Wenzhong could only smile helplessly and said: "Okay. Let's do it then!"
When Luo Cheng heard this, he immediately beamed with joy.
turn out to be.
This young master, Luo Cheng, has been practicing marksmanship since he was a child.
Later, he learned skills from famous teachers such as Qin Qiong and Ding Yanping.
His abilities are already top-notch, but it's a pity that he has never experienced a real life-and-death battle.
so.
This time he was heading south from Beiping Mansion, and what he was thinking about was leveling mountains and rivers, and wiping out all the bandits and thieves along the way.
then.
Everyone followed Luo Cheng's order and shouted: "The gold and silver treasures are here, which bandit from the mountain dares to rob them?"
This time, I shouted when I saw the mountains and the woods.
At first, everyone was still in Peiping.
When the thieves and thieves here saw Luo Yi's flag and chariot, they did not dare to go down the mountain to plunder.
Saw such a scene.
Luo Cheng felt a little anxious, and muttered to Du Wenzhong and Xia Fengchun: "Brothers, why are we scolding me like this when no one robs me, but we are so anxious!"
Du Wenzhong smiled and persuaded: "Oh, young master, don't be anxious. If we call all the way, we will definitely open."
While comforting Luo Cheng, everyone moved forward.
Along the way, there is nothing more than traveling at dawn and staying at night, eating and drinking when hungry.
this day.
Everyone is walking on the junction of Shandong and Hebei.
Luo Cheng still ordered his soldiers, loudly shouting, beating gongs and drums to provoke bandits and thieves along the way.
unexpectedly.
at this time.
But on a high mountain to the south, the sound of "dang-dang-dang-dang" gongs was suddenly heard.
Not for a while.
On the dangerous path of the woods in the mountain, two to three hundred minions rushed down, each armed with swords and guns, blocking the middle of the road.
Behind the minions, there was another sound of bells ringing, but there were several strong generals who blocked Luo Cheng's convoy.
The leader of these minions in the mountain is none other than the owner of Erxian Village - the red-haired spiritual officer Shan Xiongxin!
Why do you think Shan Xiongxin is here?
It turned out that he also wanted to celebrate the birthday of Qin Qiong's mother, so he took Wang Bodang, Dan Chong and a few close confidants to the Hebei Road, preparing to meet up with Cen Wei, Feng Ding, Ma Duan and Yuan Mujue from the north.
When he reached the junction of Hebei and Shandong, he met two heroes again, Qi Guoyuan and Li Rugui. After receiving their greetings, they rested in the mountain stronghold.
This day.
The nine leaders were sitting idle in the village.
The minions outside the door rushed over and reported: "Alert to the Chief Alliance Leader! There is a group of illegal traders at the foot of the mountain, it's dangerous!"
Sea is a slang term in the green forest, which means rich.
Shan Xiongxin shook his head with a smile and said: "This is for birthday celebrations, not for business. Haibuhai, just ask him to come over!"
When the gangster heard this, he had a bitter look on his face and said: "General Leader, you have to do this business whether you want to do it or not..."
When Shan Xiongxin heard this, he frowned and asked, "What does this mean?"
The gangster replied: "This group of people at the foot of the mountain are either rich or noble. They are led by a young man carrying a spear, followed by some strong and strong men. All they say are disrespectful words to our green forest... If you let them pass , I’m afraid I will be ridiculed by the heroes of the world!”
"Oh? The world is so big that there is such a thing? In that case, if we don't rob him, we won't give him face... Everyone, come down with me and take a look!"
I listened to what the minions said.
Shan Xiongxin narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly.
Say it.
He suddenly stood up, took steps, and walked outside the stronghold.
The other eight leaders, Wang Bodang, Shan Chong, Cen Wei, Feng Ding, Ma Duan, Yuan Mujue, Qi Guoyuan, and Li Rugui, also brought their own weapons and followed Shan Xiongxin straight down the mountain.
