Several children suddenly stopped pitifully, and one of them, a three- or four-year-old boy, even had half a piece of meat pie in his mouth.

Long Xinyu turned around and saw the skinny and stubborn little boy who bumped into her before. His eyes were full of wariness at the moment, and he shouted to the little boy, "Awen, put down the meat pie!"

The little boy named Awen suddenly relaxed, curled his lips, and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Helian, I'm hungry..."

Helian?

Long Xinyu is very familiar with this compound surname, because there used to be a commander named Helian in their army. Every time he got drunk at the celebration party, he would brag about their family history and how orthodox and direct heirs could be qualified to have it.

This last name...

This time when she heard a skinny little beggar named Helian, Long Xinyu's eyes almost widened...

However, this was not the purpose of her coming here. Thinking of this, she turned around, strode to the door of the ruined temple, took out a bun from the food bag, tore off a piece, put it in her mouth and chewed it.

While chewing, he handed the remaining buns to the little boy named Awen.

Seeing this, the little boy no longer cared about looking at Helian's face, and started to gnaw the buns hungrily.

Long Xinyu then took out the items in the food bag, tore off a small piece of each item, ate it herself, and then passed it to the younger children.

Gradually, all the children in the ruined temple gathered around him. Long Xinyu tried his best to distribute the food to everyone one by one, without even looking at Helian.

After dividing the money, Long Xinyu waved her hand and left the ruined temple with Lan'er.

Sure enough, after only walking fifty steps, there was the sound of kicking footsteps behind him. Helian ran after him out of breath, but he shouted very politely: "Please wait a moment, sir, please wait a moment!"

Long Xinyu raised a smile at the corner of her mouth, swallowed it with difficulty, turned around with a serious face and asked, "What's the matter?"

Helian stopped panting and asked respectfully: "Sir, may I ask your surname?"

Long Xinyu smiled as coldly as possible: "Hong Shaolong!"

Helian lowered his head very carefully and said: "Mr. Hong, I'm sorry, we wanted to bump into you today and steal your wallet again. I'm very sorry!" After saying that, he gave a big salute to Long Xinyu and then turned around.

Then walked back.

Long Xinyu smiled and asked calmly: "I want to ask you to do me a favor, okay?"

Sure enough, the boy turned around with a surprised look on his face, his eyes flashing with distrust.

Long Xinyu sighed with some distress. This boy must have experienced many changes. An ordinary little beggar or an ordinary street boy would not have such smart eyes, nor would he be suspicious of rare food.

thought.

Thinking of this, she said slowly: "I will leave here tomorrow, but my life now is very turbulent. I want to leave a way out for myself in the future. Dayang is a good place. I hope I can have something here."

friend..."

As she said that, she knelt down and said, "You are a friend, not a so-called benefactor or anything else... Are you willing to do me this favor and leave me my only escape route here?"

The boy was silent for a while, and then he bowed to Long Xinyu in a very dignified manner: "Sir, if you are willing to trust Helian Que, the Helian family will definitely live up to your trust!"

As expected, he was from a noble family, and Long Xinyu was very glad that he was right.

Taking out the purse on her body, Long Xinyu handed it to He Lianque without hesitation, and said with a smile: "I believe you will definitely find a suitable position for you here. The fastest I can come back is half a year, and the slowest is...

I will definitely come back to see you in two years!"

After saying that, he pulled over Lan'er who looked surprised, turned around and left!

Halfway through, Lan'er finally couldn't help it anymore: "Miss, what are you...?"

Long Xinyu smiled faintly: "That little boy was pushed over by a few beggars today. They asked him to steal, but he was unwilling. He was caught and did not explain. Although he was skinny and ragged, he

You can't hide the temperament he exudes, which is the temperament that can be revealed from the bones of the children of a big family after countless generations of training..."

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh: "His family must have experienced changes and hardships during this turbulent period, so they fled here. Although his body is thin, his bones are broad. He must be a big man from the north."

The family is slightly safer after escaping here, but they are still so vigilant. This child is a talent..."

Lan'er was a little curious: "Miss, if he is a talented person, why don't you just take him away instead of letting him stay here?"

Long Xinyu shook his head: "Lan'er, he may be fourteen or even fifteen years old. This age is already very old. After experiencing these hardships again, he must have his own thoughts and ideas. If you take him back to the capital or accompany him

When I go to Miaojiang, it is not the best way for him to develop. Instead, I leave him a fortune that can make him stand up. Let's see how he uses it. This is a better way..."

Lan'er couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "Miss, but with so much money, what if he is robbed by someone, or...there are many accidents?"

Long Xinyu's lips raised a firm smile: "Lan'er, don't worry, if he is that kind of person, I'm afraid he may not be able to escape here, and he will be silenced long ago!"

After hearing this, Lan'er didn't ask any more questions and accompanied Long Xinyu back to the inn.

After setting off to leave Dayang and rendezvousing with the marching troops, Long Xinyu discovered that the boss selling hot and sour sauce noodles was among them. She was so moved that she made Henyun laugh!

After leaving Dayang, it was time to enter the eastern region. After staying in three major cities, you could reach the eastern border. Thinking of the non-existent poisonous insects on his body, Long Xinyu suddenly felt itchy.

A strange feeling suddenly arose in her heart, and she kept looking back, but there was already a desolate place behind her, and there was nothing!

Lan'er comforted her considerately: "Miss, don't worry, since that Helian Que is a child of a noble family, he will definitely not disappoint the lady's expectations. In fact, even if he fails, the lady will only lose two dollars."

Just a hundred taels of silver!"

Long Xinyu smiled and did not explain further.

In fact, what she was worried about was not Helian Que, but behind her, as if there was a pair of eyes staring closely at her.

When Tong Luoyang finished handling the matters at hand and persuaded Ba Huo to replace him, Long Xinyu and his party had already left Dayang.

Considering the distance, Tong Luoyang began to feel a little nervous.

There are two options after Dayang. One is to continue heading east directly, but there will be mountains to climb ahead, but this distance is the most direct.

The second is to go around the mountains, turn a little way towards the south, and then go around to the east.

Tong Luoyang was not sure which path Hong Tianshao would choose at the moment, and no matter which path he chose, the path might be changed due to force majeure factors.

If you can't catch up with people on these two routes, you can only intercept them in Chey'an, another city in the southeast, or ask the defenders of Chey'an about their whereabouts.

But no matter which way he goes, he needs to catch up quickly.

Fortunately, he only needs one person to go there. As long as he walks fast enough, he will surely catch up with Long Xinyu in Xia'an!

If God doesn't make a joke to him!

There are still some small villages a hundred miles away from Dayang, but Hengyun has been bypassing those villages and not disturbing the people. Although he is a sand pirate, his upright style has made Long Xinyu completely treat him.

Amazed!

When this person is a sand bandit, his style is that of a sand bandit.

When this man was a general, his style was that of a general. He was so adaptable to changes!

Thinking of this, Long Xinyu suddenly felt a gust of wind behind her neck. She reflexively threw herself forward, and the horse underneath her immediately began to neigh.

In order not to affect the layout of the marching troops, Long Xinyu and his party always walked behind the logistics department, while Hengyun needed to go to the front from time to time to direct the troops forward. When he was free, he could return to the rear to chat with Long Xinyu.

At this moment, the sharp arrow came suddenly. When Long Xinyu fell down and the horse was frightened, Laner quickly rushed over to block Long Xinyu.

The soldiers in the logistics unit immediately drew their swords.

Because when the front troops passed by, no abnormality was found here, so now that the rear was suddenly attacked, the front troops did not respond in time.

When a group of bandits rushed in with big swords, the only ones who could resist were Long Xinyu, Lan'er, and a few more skilled logistics soldiers.

Upon seeing this, Long Xinyu quickly drew out the long sword on his horse and shouted to the panicked logistics staff: "Don't panic, everyone, listen to me!"

The group of soldiers from the logistics unit who escorted the grain and fodder were originally weak in combat effectiveness or relatively old. Their reaction and speed were not as good as those of these capable bandits. Long Xinyu frowned and suddenly thought of a plan.

She commanded Lan'er and quickly led a group of younger and stronger soldiers to surround the grain and grass. The rest stood behind her to confront the bandits, and at the same time fired a signal to the front.

When the troops are marching, the carriages and horses escorting the grain and grass usually walk at the rear. When the road is relatively flat, they can easily be pulled out by the troops in front for a long distance.

Because Long Xinyu's status is to accompany the army to visit relatives, she cannot participate in the large troops at the front. Therefore, she and Lan'er have always been placed in the rear. This stretch of road is relatively flat, and the distance between the logistics and the troops has long been stretched.

It's a bit longer. I'm afraid it will be a little late when we receive the signal and send out manpower to rush back.

However, Long Xinyu was calm and commanded the team to leave the road and slowly move closer to the city wall of an abandoned village in front. There were less than a hundred bandits and only a hundred or so logistics troops. If not

If there is a need to protect food and grass, Long Xinyu and his party will be able to escape safely.

However, food and grass must not be thrown away. However, as long as the delay continues and the men and horses appear in front, the bandits will inevitably flee without a fight.

The bandits seemed to know this. One of the bandits, who looked like Zhang Fei with a full beard, shouted, "Follow me, brothers!" and rushed up with the bandits.
