Zhou Xian told Niu Yong in detail about his experience in suppressing bandits in Wuyang, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he simply skipped the part related to Lin Bao.

After hearing this, Niu Yong felt relieved and gave a thumbs up from time to time. He praised: "Although the combat effectiveness of those bandits is average, it is admirable to be able to defeat them by relying on the little force in his hands. Brother Zhou, you have the talent to rule, come to the frontier! This is the place where you can display your talents. I am willing to recommend you to the General, and he will definitely use it for you at that time."

Zhou Xian smiled and bowed to Niu Yong and thanked him: "Brother Niu, it's not that I don't want to, but that there are too many things involved. Not to mention that my father would not agree, even I don't think I am suitable to stay in the frontier at this age. I am not tall enough, not strong enough, the knife cannot be raised long, and the bow cannot be pulled. Staying in the frontier will only become a burden to others."

When Niu Yong heard Zhou Xian reject it directly, some disappointment flashed through his face. But he was naturally heroic and did not persuade him more. He just said, "Then let's go in the future! As long as you come to me in the future, I will definitely reserve a place for you."

Li Kai came over from a distance, bowed to Niu Yong, then turned to Zhou Xian and said, "Second Young Master, the master has woken up a few times, but his condition is still not good. When he asked why he stopped, I just scattered it, but I'm afraid I can't hide it for long."

Zhou Xian nodded and said, "Don't worry about this. According to time, those who go out should come back today. As long as you hide it for another day, you can take him back to Xuanfu tomorrow."

Li Kai's face changed slightly and he said, "Second Young Master, won't you take me with you?"

"My father needs someone to take care of, and I'm not at ease with other people."

"but……"

Zhou Xian saw the worry on Li Kai's face and smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Brother Niu will send someone to go with me."

Niu Yong smiled and said, "Brother Li, don't worry. Wang Baihu and your son are both special. I will send the most elite soldiers to escort them there, and there will be no accidents."

As he was talking, the smile on Niu Yong's face suddenly solidified. He crawled on the ground and listened. After a while, he stood up and changed his face: "Brother Zhou, there are about five hundred cavalry running towards this side quickly. You should hurry up and notify Wang Baihu, I want to gather the entire army immediately."

Zhou Xian was shocked and instantly realized the seriousness of the matter. When he was about to ask Niu Yong for details, the latter had already run out quickly, and shouted loudly while running: "The enemy is coming soon, come and gather for me."

When Li Kai saw that Niu Yong had run away, there was no nervous look on his face. He probably didn't believe Niu Yong's judgment very much. He looked at Zhou Xian and said, "Second Young Master, then I'll inform Wang Baihu!"

Zhou Xian frowned and pondered for a moment, saying, "No, I'll go find him in person. You should go back to my father's place immediately and prepare a carriage that you can leave at any time."

Li Kai looked puzzled and said, "Second Young Master, why are you preparing for that? Even if there are really five hundred cavalrymen, we have no need to be afraid of them at this moment. Besides, what Mr. Niu Qian said may not be completely true. No one can tell how many enemies there are by just listening to it!"

Zhou Xian shook his head and said, "Mr. Niu Qian has been on the frontier for a long time and has experienced countless battles of all sizes and sizes. He will definitely know the enemy better than us. I am sure he will never be aimless. These people came suddenly. If there were only these five hundred people, it would be fine. If there were too many, it would be difficult for us to persist here for a long time. My father is not aware of it and cannot ride a horse at all. Prepare the carriage in advance. If we really can't hold on then, we will take him away."

Li Kai thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Second Young Master, I understand, let's prepare now."

Seeing Li Kai leave, Zhou Xian turned his head and looked in the direction of Wang Weidong's residence. He found that he had just walked out of the tent and looked at the soldiers gathering quickly with confusion on his face. Seeing Zhou Xian, he walked over quickly.

Niu Yong stood at a high place, Zhou Xian and Wang Weidong stood beside him, with a serious expression. Smoke and dust were flying in the distance, and the sound of horse hooves stomping out shook the sky, like thunder rolling.

He came from the throne and was about to be caught up at two hundred steps ahead of the rushing horse team. Niu Yong's face was cold, he waved his right hand and shouted loudly: "Let it go!"

A hundred arrows shot at the sprint, and the dozens of Tartar knights who were racing in front were immediately shot down. The Tartars behind them were stunned, and they quickly pulled the reins, and the horses collided, and they were in chaos.

The archer treaded again, but Niu Yong did not order another shot. A Tartar leader looked at the cold arrowheads, and a vicious look like a venomous snake flashed in his eyes. He screamed for no reason, and all the Tartars slowly retreated and stopped five miles apart.

Two soldiers supported a soldier and walked from a distance. Zhou Xian recognized him, which was the knight who was just running in front. He was shot with an arrow on his right shoulder, and blood stained the clothes on his chest.

Niu Yong stepped forward to support the man and said, "Xiao Gao, what happened? Who hurts you?"

Xiao Gao's mouth twitched, and his eyes burst into tears, "Mr. Qian, we go to that tribe as you ordered. At the beginning, they were very enthusiastic and entertained us. They had already discussed the quantity of goods, but unexpectedly, they suddenly turned against each other, tied up all of us, and said they would attack us. Later, I took a horse while the guard was unprepared and escaped."

Niu Yong's face was gloomy and he asked, "Have you told them our identities?"

"No, I just say that we are caravans and want to make a deal with them. By the way, there is something that may have something to do with this."

"What's up?"

"The night we arrived, another group of people came. Although they had less than a hundred cavalry, they were all wearing thin iron armor. Although they looked very tired, they were all powerful and imposing. They were obviously old soldiers who had fought for many years. I wonder if this matter would have something to do with them?"

Niu Yong frowned and asked, "Do you know the identities of these people?"

Xiao Gao shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just saw their leader bringing an iron mask, and I don't seem to want people to see him."

Niu Yong nodded and said, "I understand, you go down and bandage the wound first."

Seeing Xiao Gao leave, Niu Yong turned to Wang Weidong and asked, "Wang Baihu, look! Is it possible that it is Manlu?"

Wang Weidong shook his head and said, "The whole captain is full of armor. I see what he said just now seems to be very similar to the Iron Armor Guard of the Mongolian Khan. If it is expected, it should be a Mongolian nobleman."

Zhou Xian said: "Mongols, why do he attack the caravan?"

Wang Weidong shook his head and said, "It's probably because he's happy to see the profit! This is hard to say."
