C18 Lady Xiu-er

Hu Erniu was essentially a good person. He had only learned a few punches and kicks when he was young, and fought with others under his brother's protection dozens of times. In his heart, he wished to take the Imperial Military Academy examination and become the mighty Fire Phoenix Army of a person who wore a red armor and a red cloak. Forget about Imperial Military Academy, he didn't even manage to pass the Border Army Assessment. He could only hang up the title of people's militia obediently, growing land at home and taking part in some so-called training which could only be done three days and two days like fishing in the sun.

Once the war of Phoenix City Pass at the north started, Hu Erniu's Hero's heart, which was about to go still, ignited once again. He took the initiative to look for the Guardian, requesting it to support him at the front lines. He angrily slapped the back of Hu Lao's head and scolded, "Second Brother Hu, are you stupid? If there was a war in the Phoenix City Pass, it was also priority for the northern province to deploy troops. We're not even five hundred li away from the imperial capital. "You better be quiet and wait patiently!"

Hu Erniu naturally did not dare to talk back to Earth Protector, and after getting slapped in vain, he returned home resentfully. Under the premise that he did not have a Token for Transfer of Troops, he naturally did not dare to run to the Phoenix City Pass without permission. If he didn't respond well, the chances of him being treated as a demon spy was not small, not to mention leaving the camp without permission during wartime was a taboo in the army.

After Hu Erniu was bored for more than ten days, the Earth Protector took the initiative to look for him. He said that he managed to get him a placing in the Phoenix City Pass, and asked if he still wanted to go. Hearing that, Hu Erniu jumped three feet into the air, and brought the Earthen Protector to his house. He poured wine and cut meat, and properly gave the Earthen Protector a drink to enjoy, and then smoothly took the dispatch certificate from the old man's hands.

Although the results of the grain transportation team leader made Hu Erniu a little disappointed, when he saw the grain transportation team formed by twenty grain carts and thirty subordinates, Hu Erniu, who had been wearing the same leather armor at home for more than five years, still felt like a general. As he shouted for everyone to move on, he fantasized about how he should nod his head when people called him Commander Hu in the future, and how he should return a salute like a loyal soldier.

This batch of grain transportation teams were temporarily assigned by Commander Shi Keren using their personal relationships while he was on his way to the imperial capital. The pressure from the provinces to the counties, was the same as splitting up each county with such a small team. Each county organizes food convoys to set out on their own, directly to Wangli County after summing up before being assigned by the local governor.

There was nothing amiss within the empire so Hu Erniu was bored to death while he walked along. Seeing that he had entered the boundaries of northern province, something interesting happened: he had picked up a girl.

That day, Hu Erniu brought the food delivery team to the inn, and after showing the lanes and making the arrangements, seeing that it was still early, Hu Erniu took off his leather armor and changed into his casual clothes, then walked on foot to the street. After finding a seat near a teahouse on the street, Hu Erniu assumed the posture of someone trying to conduct a private interview with someone. He slightly nodded his head and looked at the people on the street with a gaze of pity.

He sat like this for a while, when suddenly there was a commotion at the street corner. Hu Erniu looked towards the direction of the noise and saw a few lackey's, who were wearing crooked hats and wearing slanted clothes, surrounding a girl wearing a red cloak and teasing her. The young lady's hands were tightly hugging her small bag, she lowered her head and walked quickly. However, under the continuous obstructions of the delinquents, the lady's pace became slower and slower. Her face was like frost, and her little face was green with anger, but she seemed to be avoiding something. She could only dodge repeatedly, hoping to get rid of these delinquents as soon as possible.

This situation of the evil tyrant teasing a commoner on the street had ignited Hu Erniu's anger. As the future Lord Commander, how could he not care about this injustice? Thinking about this, he jumped out of the teahouse window, walked to the group of people, pulled the lady in red behind him, and scolded them while pointing at them, "You dare to tease a commoner in broad daylight!? Do you really think that there is no law anymore? "

The hoodlums were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. One of them laughed and said, "I say, big brother, have you read too many martial arts novels? How can you come up with such a set of words? " After saying that, his face changed and he fiercely said, "Seeing that you're an outsider, I won't lower myself to the same level as you." Now scram, this young master will let you live! "

Hu Erniu sneered, his left hand grabbing onto the handle of the blade on his waist, his right hand suddenly flashed with the badge on his waist: "Open your dog eyes and take a look!" He had practiced this set of movements countless times in private. It was done with incomparable fluidity and extraordinary momentum. He was confident that he could scare these street thugs until they pissed their pants.

But the next development was a bit out of Hu Erniu's expectations. The delinquents looked at his identity card and were stunned for a moment before laughing. One of the hoodlums laughed while pointing at his badge and asked, "I say, chivalrous hero. After all this trouble, you are just a grain carrier, hahahahaha!"

Hu Erniu became angry, and without caring about the consequences, he unsheathed his blade with a whoosh, and aimed it at the lackey's neck, and said word by word, "What happened to laozi when I was carrying the food? Do you believe that I can still kill you? "

Fire Phoenix Empire were heavy and gentle, there was no need to mention half army and half people, Border Army and Red Camp were usually nowhere to be seen, and now that someone suddenly appeared on the street and wanted to pull out a blade to cut him down, it immediately subdued the entire audience.

That hoodlum's face was filled with shock. After a long while, he pointed at the steel knife on his neck and asked, "You really dare to pull out the knife?"

Hu Erniu also realised that the empire had strict rules. If it was not a military matter, drawing blades on the streets was a huge matter, and he might have to suffer the backlash. But now, not only did he draw his blade, he was even pointing it at the commoners. However, he was a stun character who would rather die than die in front of an array. He clenched his teeth and forced himself to get lost! "Otherwise, I will chop you into pieces!"

Seeing him act so arrogantly, the lackeys didn't dare to pester him anymore, and pulled each other away. Hu Erniu put his blade back into its scabbard majestically, and turned to the red-clothed lady behind him and said: "Don't be afraid Miss, you can follow me to the relay station, it's the safest place there."

The awe-inspiring words actually made his hands tremble, and his back break out in a cold sweat. It would be a great deal of fun if someone from the street sneaked in and reported the matter to him.

Fortunately, the lady in red seemed to have some difficulties, and did not decline. He followed him back to the inn, and only after entering the inn, did Hu Erniu finally heave a sigh of relief.

On the morning of the second day, Hu Erniu did not care about the complaints of the others, and rushed everyone on their way without waiting for the sun to rise. Although he said that the military situation was urgent, he was actually really afraid that the other party would come knocking. As for the lady in red, he used the phrase "distant cousin will follow me for a while" to fool her. However, the girl only smiled and didn't explain too much. Everything was left to him. Hu Erniu was naturally happy, but he thought in his heart: "Cousin sister, although she is on the surface, after getting along with me for a while, maybe this girl will fall for my heroic spirit."

And it was also on the road that Hu Erniu finally sized up this young lady who called herself "Xiu'er" with great seriousness. Lady Xiu’er was not short, at least not much shorter than Hu Erniu. The young lady's legs were long and waist thin, her small face was not too big, and her features were exquisite. Her small nose was matched with pitch black eyes, and no matter how one looked at it, it was comfortable. The most common red cloak, when paired with her, gave off an additional immortal aura.

Although she was following the convoy, her heart had already churned a hundred thousand times over. Unfortunately, this lady did not like to talk much, so no matter how Hu Erniu teased her, she could only smile and nod, or give her thanks. Basically, she could not speak more than twenty words a day. Fortunately, Hu Erniu's potential had already been aroused by the Lady Xiu’er's beauty, so he used these few replies to piece together a part of the girl's life.

Lady Xiu’er was a citizen of Fengwu Province and had been adopted since he was young. Later on, when her adoptive parents died, she heard that there seemed to be news of her biological parents in Peacock Ridge, so she went alone to inquire about them. Just as he was feeling depressed and returning to the province of Fengwu, he met with the teasing of a hoodlum on the road. Fortunately, Hu Erniu had pulled out his blade in time to help his.

Hu Erniu was naturally an outstanding hero. He patted his chest and guaranteed that the Lady Xiu’er would follow them and head north. However, the military situation was urgent. He had to first deliver the military rations to the Phoenix City Pass, and then personally escort Lady Xiu’er back to Phoenix Wu Province.

The Lady Xiu’er seemed to have something on his mind, and he agreed without much hesitation. This made Hu Erniu so happy that he was almost unable to find the north.

But who would have known that the plan would change so much? When the rations team safely arrived at Pang Lai County, Hu Erniu discovered that it was difficult to make even a single move, with several tens of large and small grain transportation teams from seven to eight different provinces squeezing this small county completely full of food. This time, the city was not short on food, it was just that not a single grain was sent to the Phoenix City Pass, and every day, over ten thousand people sighed at the Demonic Beast outside the city.

The transportation of food in the army consumed a lot of energy, so delivering a single grain of rice consumed at least two. On the way, Hu Erniu and the others specifically carried dry rations on their back to save food. However, none of them could move. Since they had nothing to eat, they could only order food from the military. If this went on, the result of this group of people would be to finish all the military rations that they had worked so hard to transport, and then return to their respective homes.

Most of the people's militia had tacitly acknowledged this outcome. Battling was not their speciality, and not attacking the city was already the greatest gift, so now they could only wait for the Empire's reinforcements. But when would the reinforcements arrive? No one knew.

Some were willing to wait, while some others were unwilling to wait. For example, for Hu Erniu.

In essence, Hu Erniu was a very hot-blooded youth who was not very young. With the addition of the Lady Xiu’er beside him, it made Hu Erniu's hero feel even more passionate. He got a map of the army and studied it repeatedly for two days. Finally, he found a winding path that could avoid the Demonic Beast army and allow them to pass through Phoenix City Pass.

While holding the map, Hu Erniu suddenly stopped. If he did not tell anyone the reason why he led the team on their first trip here, how great of a contribution would he have made? He himself brought the food and appeared outside the rumbling Phoenix City Pass. The commanders and guards all looked at him with hot tears in their eyes, walked over and hugged him, and shook his hand. The officials and soldiers all gulped down the rice and flour they gave to him, and praised the heroic Hero Hu Erniu. After that, he decisively pulled out his blade and walked up the city wall to fight against the little bastard Devil Kingdom together with everyone. In the end, when the Imperial Army arrived, the little bastard who was beaten up fled with his arms wrapped around his head, while he himself followed the commander of the Phoenix City Pass up the hall side by side, accepting the bestowal of the emperor.

Just thinking about it made him show his face, so why give the credit to someone else?!

As Hu Erniu thought of this, he resolutely turned around and returned to the small broken warehouse that his team was in. He recounted the entire matter from the beginning to the end, asking everyone about his intentions. Those who could be sent to transport rations were mostly old and experienced, they just did not dare to go against the rules of the Imperial Military Discipline, who would have thought that they would risk their lives to do such a thing? However, Hu Erniu had already thought of a countermeasure, and told them everything that came to mind. He even patted his chest and promised that as long as he became the commander, everyone present would at least be a White Feather Battalion Commander and a Viscount Baron, and not a descendant.

Under the influence of a meal of wine and meat, early in the morning, Hu Erniu's "Lord Commander" led a team of future "Viscount", "Baron", and "Pipeline" who were supposed to transport rations out of the County. They first headed west and then north, deliberately making a big circle, avoiding the Demonic Beast army, and also avoiding the Patrol of the Pang Lai County. Then, they headed straight into the mountain road, flying straight for Phoenix City Pass.

However, Hu Erniu had forgotten one thing. These days, even Demonic Beast could form arrays, how could they forget about this road that was marked out a few hundred years ago? Thus, in the afternoon of that day, Hu Erniu's "Lord Commander" and the small logistics team under his command were blocked by a dozen or so Demonic Beast on the small path.

They couldn't beat him. This team didn't have more than ten blades in total, so they didn't have a chance to run. They all had four legs and specialized in running. Hu Erniu firmly believed in his words, "A person who has never been bitten by a dog will never know that a dog runs faster than a person". However, the person in front of him was not a dog, but a wolf and tiger, together with a grizzly bear that was at least two or three times the height of a human. Looking at their figures that were getting closer and closer together with their eyes that glowed with a green light, Hu Erniu started to calculate whether he should be more satisfied with using a blade to wipe his own neck.

Just then, Lady Xiu’er wearing a red dress stood out. She ignored the cries of the people behind her and slowly walked to the front of a giant wolf. Lifting her jade-like hand, she pointed at a direction in the distance and gently said a single word, "Scram."

The giant wolf seemed to have understood this word, and was stunned for a moment, then it gritted its teeth. Its upper body slightly bent forward, and with a powerful kick on its hind legs, its giant body pounced towards Lady Xiu’er like lightning.

A man and a wolf were not more than three meters apart, the distance between them was not even as long as the body of a giant wolf. Hu Erniu fiercely closed his eyes, and thought to himself: "It's over, Cousin, we'll meet again in the next life!"

When Hu Erniu opened his eyes, he saw that the giant wolf was already lying on the ground. One of Lady Xiu’er's jade feet was stepping on its head, and just this single jade foot was unable to move the giant wolf, causing it to scream miserably on the ground.

Lady Xiu’er bent down and grabbed the tail of the wolf with one hand. She waved her hand and picked up the wolf that was a few times bigger than her.

At this time, not only Hu Erniu and the food delivery team, even the Demonic Beast were stunned. That huge wolf was more than three meters long, and one of its claws was already as big as Lady Xiu’er's head. It was probably not even worth five hundred kilograms, yet it was able to easily step on it and swing it again and again? The key was that during the entire process, the Lady Xiu’er did not even sway, he was clearly holding back. Is this even something a human can do? Or perhaps, was Lady Xiu’er still human?

Lady Xiu’er didn't care at all. It seemed like she had done something extremely insignificant. She raised her finger again and pointed at the giant bear in front of her that was two to three times her height. She shouted, "Scram!"

The same word 'scram' was completely different from the word he had spoken earlier. If the previous feeling he had had was that of a girl who did not know her place, then now, it was like a thunderclap!

The giant bear's body began to sway, and after a long time, it slowly moved to the side to open up a path. Its body was lying on the ground, and its two huge front paws were tightly holding its head; it didn't even dare to look at the delicate woman in red with its eyes. Following the giant bear's movements, the other Demonic Beast moved to the side and laid their bodies on the ground, forcibly opening up a path for them.

Lady Xiu’er turned around and nodded at Hu Erniu: "Cousin brother, we can go now."

This "cousin" caused Hu Erniu to shiver, and he didn't dare say much more. He immediately called for the food convoy behind him: "Let's go, let's go, let's go quickly!"

In the middle of the road was a few dozen unarmed people's militia food convoys. On both sides of the road, there were more than ten gigantic Demonic Beast s that were lying on the ground without even daring to lift their heads, and the one that was left at the back of the group, was the red-clothed female who looked to be the weakest when she was in the wind.

On the way to Phoenix City Pass, Hu Erniu suddenly understood why Lady Xiu’er did not attack the Brawler that day. It was not because she was afraid of the Brawler, but because she was afraid of killing them with a single punch!

Hu Erniu carefully turned to the side and used the corner of his eyes to glance at the red-clothed female who was last. A new question emerged from the bottom of his heart: This Lady Xiu’er, just what kind of background does he have?
