The head of a county is the highest local chief executive and governs more than ten counties. Xiao Yuan serves in his jurisdiction, and visiting him is also a necessary process.
There was no other way. At Liu Yuzhi's reminder, he also selected a war horse from the army the next morning, and then hurried to the county seat.
On this trip, he was visiting the county governor, so Xiao Yuan did not wear armor, but changed into a clean white brocade suit.
After galloping all the way, when they were about to arrive at Anyang County, the road ahead suddenly heard waves of horses neighing, mixed with women's screams.
"Uh-" Because he didn't see the situation clearly, Xiao Yuan subconsciously tightened the reins and stopped at the spot.
Immediately afterwards, what came into view was a carriage approaching at a rapid speed. The horse pulling the carriage seemed to be frightened for something. It was out of control and running wildly. The driver who was driving the carriage had already been thrown off. carriage.
A woman in white clothes was holding the edge of the carriage, standing on the carriage, with a look of panic on her face. Behind the carriage, there was a person who looked like a maid chasing after her in a hurry, and at the same time she kept shouting: "Miss! Miss--"
At this time, Xiao Yuan was still riding a war horse and was located in the middle of the road. On one side of the road, there was an extremely steep slope.
Seeing that there was another person in front of him, the carriage could not stop at all, and the woman in white on the carriage began to scream: "Sir, be careful, get out of the way quickly——"
As soon as she finished speaking, the wheels of the carriage hit a raised stone. Amidst the huge bumps, the entire carriage suddenly tilted, and she was also thrown out.
In such a situation, Xiao Yuan didn't have time to think too much. Out of his instinct to save people, he immediately slapped the horse on the back and jumped up. He was in the air. His right hand suddenly grabbed the woman's waist, and his left hand also instantly grasped the road. A boulder on one side.
At the same time, the carriage fell down the slope and fell apart with a crash.
Xiao Yuan and the woman in white were hanging in the air. He turned his head slightly and looked at the broken carriage. Then he exerted force with his left arm and brought the woman back to the ground.
At this time, the maid who was chasing also ran over and shouted anxiously: "Miss, Miss, are you okay..."
After hearing the shouting, the frightened woman in white finally came to her senses, and then a look of fear appeared on her pretty face.
At this moment, Xiao Yuan was still hugging her. After reacting, he quickly let go of his right hand, took two steps back, cupped his hands and said, "The situation was critical just now, don't blame me, girl."
Hearing this, the woman in white also remembered the close physical contact between the two of them just now. Her face suddenly turned red, which was extremely touching. She put her hands on her waist and gave Xiao Yuan a salute. , said in a low voice: "Thank you, Master, for saving me."
As she spoke, her beautiful eyes moved, she raised her head slightly, and secretly took a look at Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan's appearance is very handsome, especially he is dressed in white brocade clothes, and his hair ornaments are those of the Han Dynasty. His hair is tied with a jade hairpin, and it is absolutely not an exaggeration to describe him as a young man like jade.
At this time, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but look at the other party. At this look, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Because he had seen this woman before. She was the eldest daughter of the Gu family, Gu Xue, who had been to Chengguan in the previous defensive battle of Liucheng.
Kind and beautiful girls always make people like her.
After being stunned, Xiao Yuan also began to ask: "What happened just now?"
"For some reason, the horse was frightened. If the young master hadn't rescued him just now, the consequences would have been disastrous." Gu Xue returned.
"I see." Xiao Yuan nodded, and then said: "Now that the girl's carriage has been destroyed, if you want to return to Liucheng, you will probably have to walk dozens of miles."
Hearing this, Gu Xue was obviously stunned, and then asked curiously: "How did the young master know that I am going back to Liucheng?"
"Oh, this..." Xiao Yuan paused and said with a smile: "I met the girl in Liucheng before."
"Master, have you seen me?" Gu Xue became even more confused.
"Yes." Xiao Yuan simply replied. Seeing that it was getting late and he didn't want to talk more, he took his horse and said, "It's a long journey. If you don't mind, girl, use me first." Horse."
Unexpectedly, he was so generous. Gu Xue was stunned for a moment, and then said quickly: "This can't be done. I don't know how to thank you for saving me just now, not to mention you have to be on your way..."
"Hey?" Xiao Yuan waved his hand and said, "No need to say thank you. The place I want to go to is Anyang, which is very close to me. This horse is more important to the girl, isn't it?"
"But this..." Gu Xue was still a little at a loss.
"Goodbye when we are destined." In the end, Xiao Yuan said directly, cupped his hands again, and then walked away directly.
He left as soon as he said so. Gu Xue couldn't help but stretched out her hand and called softly: "Young Master..."
Xiao Yuan didn't respond anymore and walked further and further away.
Seeing this situation, Gu Xue wanted to take a few steps forward, but at this time, the maid beside him began to say: "Miss, you scared me to death just now."
"It's okay, thanks to that young master just now, but he... is so strange." Gu Xue's eyes were still staring at the place where Xiao Yuan left.
The maid also looked sideways, but said: "But the young man just now is quite handsome, and he also gave the lady a horse. Is this a hero saving a beauty?"
"You're the only one who talks too much." Gu Xue's face turned red again.
She is really beautiful, dressed in white like snow, with a red face, extremely touching.
And here, it is really only a few steps away from Anyang City. After arriving in the city, Xiao Yuan also went directly to the county government.
The county government is much more impressive than the county government. After Xiao Yuan arrived here, before he could step forward, the guard at the door pressed his knife with his left hand, raised his right arm, and shouted in a cold voice: "Stop, people coming! This is the important place of the county government." , don’t come near!”
This was a normal situation. Xiao Yuan didn’t say much. Instead, he took out his military badge from his waist and handed it to the guard: "I am the captain of Liucheng School. I came here to pay a visit to the governor. Please let me know. ."
When the guard heard this, he stepped forward to take the military card and read it. After confirming it, his attitude changed. He clasped his fists and said, "General, I will go and report it later."
As he spoke, he turned around and entered the county mansion.
At this moment, Anyang County Governor Yu Anmin was drinking tea with a young man in the county hall. After hearing the guard’s report, he put down his teacup and said with a smile:
"This Lieutenant of Liucheng is so arrogant. He only thought of paying a visit to me a few days after he took office."
Hearing this, the young man drinking tea with him couldn't help but become interested and couldn't help but ask: "Oh? Is that Xiao Yuan who defends Liucheng from Poyue City?"
"It's this person." As he spoke, Yu Anmin also raised his head towards the guard: "Let him come in."
