The soldiers beside Lieutenant Lin quickly stepped forward. Ji Zhongchuan and Ji Mingyou also hurriedly stood up and shouted in unison, "Good nephew!"
Ji Xiahe watched Anshuang. Once Shen Lie let go, Ji Xiahe hurriedly said, "As courtesy, courtesy comes back. Brother Shen also just wants to try Deputy Lieutenant Lin's skills."
The Xiong brothers who got up from the ground looked ugly, rubbing their sore shoulders and stomachs from being beaten, and stared at Shen Lie angrily.
Lieutenant Lin's pain was even worse. His whole arm was so numb that he almost lost consciousness.
He looked up and down at the boy in front of him and began to look at him squarely for the first time.
At first, the only people who always praised Shen Lie's power were the Guo family and his old neighbor Ji's family. They said that he was good at fighting one against ten. Lieutenant Lin was born with a prejudice against the fair-faced boy with thin skin and tender flesh. Even if he was powerful, he could only be regarded as a comparison. The skills of ordinary soldiers are powerful.
He really just wanted to test Shen Lie just now, but his sword skills were indeed merciless. He thought that the other party could escape his three blows, so he let him stay. If he didn't escape, he would be hacked to death. , he didn’t want to bring a waste with him. But he never expected that he would counterattack, and there would be no room for retaliation.
Shen Lie's black eyes were cold and indifferent, and there was rarely such anger in his heart. He looked at Ji Zhongchuan and Ji Mingyou, and said in a calm voice, "Uncles, don't be alarmed. I just want to try out Vice General Lin's skills. Nothing."
Ji Zhongchuan and Ji Mingyou looked embarrassed and speechless.
"Other than to test my skills, what else could uncle call me here for?" Shen Lie said again.
Ji Zhongchuan slowed down and said, "It has something to do with the rest of the trip. Now that the rain has stopped, the pursuers should have been dispatched. At the beginning, your cousin Guo Yu said that there would be men to attack us in Liugui, Songzhou, but what we have now The Huanggu Mountains here are heading towards the north of Songzhou. When we go to Liuguili, we may have to go through the entire Songzhou, so..."
He looked at Shen Lie's expression and did not continue speaking.
"So what?" Shen Lie asked.
"...Why not, my wise nephew will first send your personal followers to ride fast horses to Songzhou to inform them in advance and ask them to wait for us in the north of Songzhou?"
"Why are you my personal attendant?"
Ji Mingyou stepped forward and said, "Because my nephew's relatives are all from the Guo family, we should be acquainted with those people. It will be more convenient for them to speak."
"It's inconvenient," Shen Lie refused directly, his jade-like black eyes as dark as a cold pool, "It's true that my personal entourage is from the Guo family, but I have had a lot of bad relations with many people in the Guo family over the years. I don't want to They don't meet anyone from the Guo family again, so why shouldn't uncle find someone else?"
Ji Mingyou paused, not expecting him to say this, to reveal his relationship with the Guo family so directly, and to... turn against each other.
Without the Guo family, would Shen Lie be where he is today?
He was so ungrateful and rebellious, and he just said it so smoothly, without caring what others thought?
What a, what a ruthless little boy!
Ji Zhongchuan stiffened his neck and said, "But my dear nephew, if your personal entourage doesn't come, then..."
"Most of Deputy Lieutenant Lin's personal soldiers have local accents, right?" Shen Lie looked at Deputy Lieutenant Lin aside, "It would be more convenient to send a random man there than to follow me personally?"
Deputy Lieutenant Lin was furious, and the soldiers around him were even more so. When one of them heard this, he stepped forward to scold Shen Lie. Ji Xiahe on the side had already picked up the conversation: "I think this is very good! One of Deputy Lieutenant Lin's soldiers is He is brave and mighty, like a tiger, and is much better than the lazy, timid and fearful follower next to Brother Shen!"
Ji Zhongchuan and Ji Mingyou were so angry that they wanted to go up and cover Ji Xiahe's mouth.
Seeing this situation, Shen Lie didn't want to stay any longer. He said goodbye with a few words, saying that he still had something to do, and then turned around and left.
Ji Xiahe shouted to Brother Shen to wait for me and ran away together.
Nearly ten people were left standing there silently cursing.
Dai Yu and Du Xuan heard some noise in the distance and were about to rush there. When they saw Shen Lie coming back, they asked what happened.
Ji Xiahe was very angry, but he couldn't say it out in front of Dai Yu and Du Xuan, for fear of making the conflict worse, so he endured it.
"It's nothing," Shen Lie said lightly, "Just rest, we will be on our way soon."
The sky didn't clear up for long, and soon it started to rain again. Everyone rested and ate before continuing on their way.
Ji Xiahe went ahead to inquire about it, and came back to tell Shen Lie that he had actually sent one of Lieutenant Lin's personal soldiers.
Shen Lie didn't react much and responded with a few words casually.
Ji Xiahe glanced at Dai Yu and Du Xuan who were a little distance behind, lowered his voice and said, "What is going on between you and the Guo family?"
Based on his understanding of Shen Lie, he was completely unlike someone who would say such words directly in front of outsiders.
Ji Xia and Dang Zhen want to know the details of how they were abandoned while swimming in a lake in Jiangzhou and then escaped.
"There may be a fight ten miles away," Shen Lie said. "There is a garrison nearby. If you are lucky, you won't be discovered. If you are not lucky, the other party may bring someone to stop you."
"You changed the subject..."
"I'm afraid you won't be able to stand still," Shen Lie glanced at him, "Do you remember how scared you were last night?"
Ji Xiahe touched his neck with lingering fear.
"There are so many of us and we are too conspicuous. It is impossible not to be discovered," Shen Lie said again, "Be prepared. Don't forget the riding and shooting skills you have learned since childhood."
"I know." Ji Xia and Menmen said, but it's one thing to beat people normally, but it's another thing to go into battle and kill the enemy.

The heavy rain caused the water level in the river to swell, and the upstream water was so strong that it was difficult to leave for a while.
Xia Zhaoyi stood by the window, looking at the distant river. The river was surging, soaring into the sky, rolling up the yellow mud of the rocks upstream, making the river surface particularly turbid.
The inn is by the river. There is a huge open space in front of the building. It is full of people. People are coming and going in front of the inn. It is very lively.
At this time, seeing Zhili and Lao Tong appearing downstairs, Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows, thought for a while, turned around and walked towards the door.
Just then I opened the door, and coincidentally, I met Lin Qingfeng and the others coming down from upstairs.
The big man walking behind Lin Qingfeng was also familiar to Xia Zhaoyi. He was the one who bullied Lu Ningjin's brother and sister, and then she trapped his forearm with a trap. He would probably never forget that feeling.
There were so many people at the moment, they also failed to notice him, and the four of them walked downstairs.
Zhili and Lao Tong came in from outside. Zhili looked gloomy and extremely unhappy. He looked up and saw Lin Qingfeng and others. He remembered what happened last night. Zhili was not happy. When he met Lin Qingfeng's eyes, he coldly withdrew his gaze and walked forward. .
Lin Qingfeng's expression was extremely bad right now. The reason why she came to Youzizhuang Ferry on the way was because she arranged for the person next to Ying Jinliang to send her news.
She did receive it this morning, and she was so angry that she almost wanted to kill someone.
She was in a bad mood right now, but the young man who came towards her gave her a dirty look. It couldn't be called a blank stare, but this look really made her unhappy.
When the two parties were about to pass by, Lin Qingfeng suddenly stretched out his legs, trying to trip the other party down.
