There is a city on the border of Tuozhou. This is the front line of border defense, Zhennan Mansion!

Guarding here is a general named Li Jingan. This man is extremely brave and has countless military exploits. He is a powerful force in border defense wars. The emperor specially granted him the title of King of Zhennan!

At this time, in the general's mansion, Li Jingan was discussing important border defense matters with Pioneer Lu Wuwu.

"Have those barbarians done anything strange recently?" Li Jingan asked.

Pioneer Lu Wuxian reported truthfully, "I was quite active a few days ago, as if I was covering something, but recently it has been a lot quieter."

Li Jingan frowned and said, "Send a few spies and put them in to find out the information."

"Yes!" Lu Wuwu bowed and said: "By the way, General, the situation of the soldiers in the hussar camp outside the city is not very good."

"Didn't you call the military doctor to see him? What? The little cold disease has not been cured yet?" Li Jingan was puzzled.

Lu Wuxian shook his head, "It's not that the military doctors can't treat it well, it's just that the condition is erratic, good and bad, and the sick soldiers often have nightmares and their mental state is extremely poor. Dozens of brothers have fallen ill. There are rumors in the military... rumors

…”

"What are the rumors?" Li Jingan asked seriously.

Lu Wuxian seemed to have made a lot of determination before he said: "There are rumors of evil spirits..."

"Nonsense!" Li Jingan blurted out, "Those who spread rumors and disturb the morale of the military will be dealt with according to military law!"

"yes!"

"Come with me to the Hussars camp later. I want to see what kind of disease it is."

"General, don't," Lu Wuxian persuaded, "What if you infect the general..."

Li Jingan was even more insistent on going, "I am in good health!"

"Report!" Lu Wuxian was about to persuade him again, when a sentry came to report.

"What's the matter?" Li Jingan asked.

The sentry handed over a letter, "It's from the magistrate of Yuyu County."

Li Jingan was a little surprised, "Oh? A letter from Brother Chopard?"

He took the letter and read it. It was indeed written by Chopin. Li Jingan quickly understood the meaning of the letter.

"You go down and prepare first!" Li Jingan asked Lu Wuxian to retreat first.

Lu Wuxian didn't know what to say. He knew Li Jingan, and once he made a decision, it was difficult to listen to advice. He decided to go to the Hussars Camp this time.

Li Jingan then ordered the sentry, "Go and call the madam."

"yes!"

Mrs. Li Jingan's name is Lin Huixin, and she and Xiao Xiaoqi's mother Lan Ying are family friends. It is not an exaggeration to say that the two are best friends.

Lin Huixin arrived quickly. The general's wife could be considered a beauty, but her face was a little pale and she looked weak.

"Why did the general call me?"

Li Jingan saw Lin Huixin arriving and quickly went over to help her, "Is your health feeling better, madam?"

"Much better?" Lin Huixin smiled slightly.

Li Jing'an then showed her Xiao Bang's letter and said: "Brother Xiao's son has been free lately and has come to stay with us for a few days. He will arrive in the afternoon. I happen to be out of town for a meeting and I'm not here. Please entertain me."

.”

Lin Huixin also expressed surprise, "It turns out that Xiaoqi is coming. Now Daju is very happy."

The Daju in Lin Hui's heart is Li Jingan's son Li Jiuju, who has known Xiao Xiaoqi since childhood and is four years older than Xiao Xiaoqi.

Li Jingan curled his lips and said, "That brat knows how to fight and act up all day long. It's okay. Xiaoqi is very talented. Let Daju learn from him this time."

Lin Huixin smiled bitterly, the father and son really had the same temper.

"And the one who brought Xiaoqi here is Lan Ying, so you two can catch up on old times."

Lin Huixin nodded, "I'm going to prepare now. The general will have to be careful when he goes out later."

At this time, Xiao Xiaoqi was also on his way to Zhennan Mansion, and the staffing was still the same as last time.

Feng Jianyu was the bodyguard coachman, and Lan Ying took the maid Xiaohua in the carriage.

But this time, for some unknown reason, Xiao Xiaoqi was sitting at the front of the car.

The journey was smooth, and Xiao Xiaoqi didn't feel bored. At least he could study the sigil he learned from Catwoman last night. This sigil, Xiao Xiaoqi called it the Catwoman sigil, euphemistically named it as a commemoration.

Catwoman's sacrifice for the experiment.

He did not dare to experiment directly with his own body, but he could not think of anything else that could replace it. Finally, he made a choice and experimented with a horse pulling a cart.

Before setting off, he had already painted the modified Catwoman sigil on the horse's belly. This was why he sat at the front of the car, in order to observe the horse's reaction.

Feng Jianyu originally thought that Xiao Xiaoqi took the front seat to learn how to drive, but along the way, Xiao Xiaoqi stared at the running horse with a serious expression, which made Feng Jianyu feel baffled.

His eldest nephew must have fallen in love with this horse, but let alone that, the horse was really energetic and powerful today, and it ran nearly twice as fast as before.

All of this is the result of Catwoman's sigil, which makes the horse much stronger. Xiao Xiaoqi is not worried about this now. He is watching when the horse will have problems. According to experience, the smoother the research, the greater the consequences.

The more serious it is!

He really wanted to say to Feng Jianyu, brother, we'd better stop and take a rest, otherwise we might... rush into the street later.

However, to Xiao Xiaoqi's expectation, the carriage was still driving quickly and smoothly until it entered the boundary of Zhennan Mansion.

This is impossible. Xiao Xiaoqi now hopes to expose the problem quickly, otherwise they may die in an ugly way!

At this moment, several knife-wielding gangsters suddenly blocked the road a mile ahead.

"I didn't expect that there would be gangsters in Zhennan Mansion!" Feng Jianyu said with a frown.

"Gangsters?" Lan Ying in the car was surprised, "Jianyu, are there any gangsters in front of you?"

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, leave it to me, it's just a few thieves!" Feng Jianyu said calmly.

"Xiao Qi, come in quickly!" Lan Ying immediately called Xiao Xiaoqi, but Xiao Xiaoqi still sat and watched what happened.

"Hey!" Feng Jianyu wanted to stop the carriage to deal with a few gangsters, but found that the carriage did not slow down at all!

Xiao Xiaoqi's eyes widened. He finally understood. It turned out that the problem with Catwoman's talisman had long been exposed, that is, there was no brake!

"I didn't make this road, I didn't plant this tree, but I want to live from now on... Hey, hey, stop, stop..." The three gangsters in front were stunned. They had never seen such reckless horses. They rushed towards people when they saw them.

of.

Xiao Xiaoqi said silently in his heart, Amitabha, you are so good, so sorry!

Bang! Due to the speed, the three gangsters had no time to dodge. They were knocked away and their heads hit the stones on the roadside. In this case, even if they did not die, they would lose half their lives.

I'm really sorry. In order to express his apology, Xiao Xiaoqi also took note of the appearance of the three gangsters. One has a mustache, one has pigtails, and one has edema on his face. They have distinctive features and are easy to recognize. Have a good trip, three of you.

.

Feng Jianyu now had no time to care about the three thieves, "Hey! Stop! Stop!"

Lan Ying asked anxiously: "What happened again?"

Feng Jianyu broke into a cold sweat, "Sister-in-law, this horse doesn't obey orders and can't stop!"

"Huh? What should we do? Xiaoqi, come in quickly." Lan Ying shouted.

Xiao Xiaoqi can't go in now. He has to find a way to stop the horse. If this continues, he doesn't know how long the horse will run before stopping.

Wipe off Catwoman's talisman? Impossible. The carriage is traveling at high speed. If you wipe it without getting kicked to death? Replace it with a deceleration talisman? It's also unlikely. Feng Jianyu will find it, and Xiao Xiaoqi has not yet seen the deceleration talisman.

After thorough research, using the deceleration talisman may cause new problems.

At this critical moment

, the cat's eyes hidden in Xiao Xiaoqi's arms flickered, and the carriage began to slow down and finally stopped.

Phew, Xiao Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, Catwoman bless me, I didn’t expect Catwoman’s cat eyes to have such a miraculous effect, which can suppress the effect of the talisman!

After the carriage stopped, the horse immediately lay on the ground and foamed at the mouth. It was obvious that the horse was almost exhausted from running all the way.

Amitabha, that's good, that's good, I'm sorry, Xiao Xiaoqi said another sentence silently in his heart.

Feng Jianyu quickly jumped off the carriage to check the situation.

Lan Ying and Xiao Hua stuck their heads out to check the situation, "How is the situation?"

Feng Jianyu scratched his head and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid there's something wrong with the horse. You guys need to rest for a while and I'll see if the horse can recover."

"Who were those gangsters just now?" Lan Ying asked again.

"It's okay to be knocked away by a horse. They deserve it...but we can't go on our way for the time being." Feng Jianyu said.

Lan Ying was not too worried, "It's not far from the General's Mansion. If it doesn't work, we can walk there in time."

Next, Xiao Xiaoqi and his party found a small inn nearby to rest and let the horses rest.

Fortunately, the horse recovered quickly and was able to stand up, but could no longer run, and the speed was not much faster than walking.

Fortunately, it's very close to the General's Mansion, otherwise I wouldn't know how long it would take to get there.

Half an hour later, when I arrived at the general's mansion, the first person who came out to greet him was not the general's wife Lin Huixin, but a ten-year-old boy, Li Jiuju, the son of the general.
