Zhen Mansion, in the huge hall.

Hu Niuer rushed back from the camp again, her forehead was covered with sweat, but her expression was indeed very excited, and there was a belligerent gaze in her eyes.

"Report to the young master, the camp has sent troops. The fifth master said that I would escort the ransom immediately and get along with him."

Hearing this, Zhen Shu hurriedly said: "The ransom has been loaded and ready to be at the east gate. When the Junhou left the city, he can take it away directly."

"Don't worry." Yuan Xi suddenly waved his hand and looked at Hu Niuer and said seriously: "Niuer, tell me about the situation of sending troops."

Although this time his opponent was just a group of bandits with no training, simple weapons, and no more than 300, he was still very concerned about it. If he had an accident against this group of mobs, it would be a great harm to both the morale and morale.

"No" Hu Niuer nodded and hurriedly said: "This time, the camp dispatched a total of two thousand people, one thousand Iron Guard Camp, one thousand Blood Tiger Camp, the Blood Tiger Camp as the main attack, and the Iron Guard Camp as the rear army. As for the specific combat deployment, my subordinates are not very clear about it."

"Who led the troops?" A trace of expectation flashed in Yuan Xi's eyes.

"It was the fifth young master who led the troops, and Jiao Zhengwei was in charge of the camp, and the Iron Prince would support him at any time," Hu Niuer replied.

Hearing this, Yuan Xi finally smiled, "Okay, you escort the ransom immediately, remember, everything must be listened to Pingdi. If you dare to act recklessly, come back and see me to deal with you."

"No!" Hu Niuer turned around and left excitedly.

"Xianyi, although there are not many bandits, they are all outlaws. The fifth young man is young, can it work?" At this time, Zhen Shu was a little worried. After all, this was related to Zhen Yan's life. He would rather send a mature and steadfast general over there, as long as he brings Zhen Yan back safely.

"Haha, uncle, don't worry, my fifth brother's talent is extraordinary, just wait for the good news." Yuan Xi smiled confidently. After this period of training in the military camp, let alone a group of bandits, even a real battle, with Yuan Ping's ability, this battle can definitely be handled. Let's regard it as the beginning of his future battle in the world!

......

At about dusk, ox carts suddenly appeared on the avenue and accelerated towards Niutou Mountain. The car was filled with large boxes, and the marks on the road were very deep. On the first ox cart, Lu Si, a servant from the Zhen family, sat on it nervously.

"Don't be nervous, just a group of bandits, and a certain guard camp can deal with them." Hu Niuer, who had already taken off his armor and put on a gray dress, appeared in front of him.

Lu Si nodded quickly, and at the same time he was puzzled: "Mr. Jun. Where has the army gone?"

Hu Niuer frowned and said, "You don't have to worry about this, and I am now an escort of the Zhen family. Don't call me Junhou."

"Yes!" Lu Si replied immediately.

When the convoy gradually approached Niutou Mountain, several figures were hiding in the dense grass on both sides and laying in it. After seeing Lu Si on the ox cart, a trace of excitement flashed in their eyes. Then they looked at the rear of the convoy without turning their eyes. After waiting for about half a stick of incense, they finally breathed a deep breath and then quickly disappeared into the grass.

Not long after, in the mountain village of Niutou Mountain, the boss sat in the main seat in a huge thatched hut, looking at the few people who had just been following him with a serious face.

"Are you sure there is no army?"

"Confirm, we waited for half a stick of incense, and then took a small path and came back in front of them." A bandit replied quickly.

A trace of joy flashed in the eyes of the boss, "Okay, it seems that the Zhen family is quite sensible. Go and invite the Zhen family's son over, and we will release him as long as we receive the ransom."

"Yes!" Several bandits immediately left the hut.

After a while, under the escort of the two bandits, Zhen Yan, whose clothes were a little messy, slowly appeared in front of him. Looking at the bandits holding sharp blades and fierce, although their faces were a little pale, their eyes were still calm.

"Mr. Zhen, I have made you suffer." After seeing Zhen Yan, the boss immediately said with a kind face.

Zhen Yan's face turned aside. It seemed that his uncle had already sent the money. He sneered: "The boss, don't say much. I hope you can let me go back after you collect the money."

"Haha, don't worry, although I am a rough person, I only know the word "credit" said the master laughing.

"Report!!" At this time, a bandit suddenly ran in and said excitedly: "The master, the people from the Zhen family have arrived at the gate of the village."

"How many people have come?" The boss asked cautiously.

"There are only ten people, two people in a box"

"Okay" The boss slapped his thigh and stood up happily. Just as he was about to go out, he suddenly frowned, turned his head and looked around, and asked, "Where is sir?"

"Sir said he was a little uncomfortable and was resting in the room," a small leader replied immediately.

Hearing this, the boss shook his head in disappointment, "Although sir, I really don't have the same heart as us, it's a pity."

After saying that, the boss led a group of people and Zhen Yan to walk outside.

......

At this time, at the foot of Niutou Mountain, violent footsteps sounded, and Yuan Ping finally arrived with two thousand soldiers.

"Fifth Young Master, why did we set out one hour later? With our army's strength and strength, there is absolutely no problem in dealing with a group of bandits?" A military marquis dressed in black armor asked next to Yuan Ping with a little confusion.

Yuan Ping smiled faintly, "There is no reason, it is entirely out of caution. Although the other party is a bandit, weak, does not read military books, and does not know how to arrange a formation, I am also worried that they will leave scouts near Niutou Mountain. If they find our army coming with the ransom, then Mr. Zhen will be in danger. At the same time, I am worried that he will not be willing to let people go after collecting the money, so the powerful martial arts Hu Junhou led the soldiers of the guard camp to disguise themselves as guards. Even if an accident occurs, it will leave us enough time."

"Oh! That's it." Junhou nodded immediately with understanding.

"You have to remember that no matter whether the enemy is strong or weak, you must be cautious. Maybe this will lead to missing out on some fighter opportunities, but it is still the first element of the battlefield. Unbeaten means victory, do you understand?" Yuan Ping taught.

"I understand," Junhou responded admirably.

"Fifth Young Master, Niutou Mountain has arrived." At this time, another military marquis rushed over on a horse, looked at the mountain with two peaks in front of him, and said loudly.

Yuan Ping immediately stopped the war horse and whispered to the reminder of the military Hou: "Li Peng, you have a thousand soldiers in the Blood Tiger Camp secretly ambushed between the mountainside and hide very much. Once Master Zhen goes down the mountain, launch an attack immediately. The speed should be fast and fierce. Remember that the shield soldiers are in front and the crossbow soldiers are in the back."

"No!" Li Peng responded quickly, waved his hand quickly, and left with a group of soldiers holding shields and carrying crossbows.

"Xu Feng, you will be ambushed behind the Niutou Mountain with the soldiers of the Iron Guard Camp. Remember to disperse your troops. In groups of five, the distance between each group shall not exceed ten meters. It will form a siege with the Blood Tiger Camp in front of you. You must not let a bandit escape." Yuan Ping ordered again seriously.

"Fifth Young Master, don't worry" the Black Armored Army Marquis who began to ask Yuan Ping immediately took the soldiers to detour and headed towards the rear of Niutou Mountain.

Yuan Ping, with several personal soldiers, was waiting to be in place, looking at the tall Niutou Mountain in front of him, with cold light in his eyes.
