Chapter 253

Xiahou Lan called two Du Bosses and said to them: "You and the two of you will obey the orders of the Second Prince Yuan from now on. You should immediately order your troops and follow the Second Prince Yuan to Feng Ji to cut off their retreat. Do you understand?"

"Sir, obey the order!" the two dudes quickly answered loudly.

After Yuan Xi and his two uncles left, Xiahou Lan asked Yuan Tan with a smile: "Xiansi, I wonder when you and me will leave the village to welcome Feng Ji?"

"It will take an hour to reach this place when the horse explores the horses and men of Fengji can be reached." Yuan Tan said carefully: "It is not too late to lead troops out of the camp after they enter the three-mile radius. However," he paused for a moment, and then said, "Would we send people back to report to Tinghou and ask him to send more troops to help us?"

"No," Xiahou Lan waved her hand and said, "Feng Ji has only a few more than twenty people, and we have as many as a thousand. It is easy to catch them, so there is no need to send someone to report to the lord. Moreover, it is two days away from Yecheng here. When the lord sends people to come, it will be four days later. By then, Feng Ji has already surrendered, so why bother to be shocked?"

Seeing that Xiahou Lan was so confident, Yuan Tan stopped persuading him.

More than half an hour later, the soldiers who were observing the top of the mountain came to report: "Qi reported to the Xiahou Captain, Feng Ji and others were only two miles away from this place. They may have found the camp here, but stopped moving forward."

When Xiahou Lan heard the soldiers say this, she did not immediately express her opinion, but asked back: "Where are the soldiers and horses brought by Mr. Yuan now?"

"I saw that the second young master Yuan's troops had already gone behind Feng Ji and others, cutting off their retreat."

When Xiahou Lan learned that the troops led by Yuan Xi had cut off Feng Ji and others' retreat, he felt very confident. He quickly called two military marquis and eight Du Boss into the tent and ordered one of the military marquis to take two Du Boss and two hundred soldiers to stay outside the camp, and the rest of the people followed him out to meet Feng Ji.

Feng Ji was currently staying two miles away from the camp. Seeing the camp suddenly appearing in front of him, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Who is this camp established by this?"

When Huang An saw Feng Ji Zhuma stopping, he asked, "Uncle Feng, why did he stop moving forward?"

Feng Ji pointed to the camp in the distance with his hand and said, "Why is there a camp here? Could it be that the Han family's child sent someone to wait here?" After he asked this question, he asked and answered himself without waiting for the two brothers Huang An and said, "No, although there are a few capable people under the command of the Han family's child, he would never have thought that we would take this path."

Feng Ji shook his head vigorously and said self-deprecatingly: "It seems that I am too worried." After that, he pushed the whip forward and said: "Continue to come out~!"

Less than a mile away, Feng Ji saw a group of people coming in front of him, about five or six hundred riders, who were fanning him. Seeing this, Feng Ji couldn't help but complain in his heart: It's not good, it's really bad. These people and horses seem to be coming for me.

Just as Feng Ji was about to escape back, he suddenly heard Huang Shi exclaiming: "Uncle Feng, hurry up, a man appeared behind us, cutting off our retreat."

The people and horses in the front and back were all cavalry. In a short while, Feng Ji and his group surrounded him. A general with a helmet and armor came out of the queue and said to Feng Ji: "Mr. Yuantu, are you safe?"

When Feng Ji heard someone calling out his name, he couldn't help but tremble. After seeing the other party clearly, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise: "Big... Master, it's... you. You are still... not dead."

Yuan Tan sneered twice and said, "I am not so lucky to die. I'll ask you, why did you appear here?"

"I understand, it was the Han family's child who released you." Feng Ji was a smart man. Seeing that the soldiers behind Yuan Tan were wearing military uniforms of Jizhou soldiers, he could not guess what was going on. He gritted the bullet and asked, "I wonder if the young master is going to take Feng to ask the Han family's child for me?"

"That's right," Seeing that Feng Ji guessed his intention, Yuan Tan did not deny it, so he admitted openly: "I have this intention."

Seeing that Yuan Tan and Feng Ji had been talking nonsense for a long time, Xiahou Lan immediately stepped forward and came to Yuan Tan's side, and asked directly: "Feng Ji, where did you hide Miss Cai?"

"What are you... who are you?" Before Feng Ji could speak, Huang An, who was following him, plucked up his courage and asked tremblingly: "Why should we block our way?"

Xiahou Lan snorted coldly, pointed the spear in her hand at Huang An, and said, "We are the governor of Jizhou, the marquis of Zhangshuiting. Because we learned that Miss Cai was robbed by Feng Jigou thieves, we were preparing to save her. If you are tactful, hand over Miss Cai, otherwise..."

"What else?" Huang Shi was more impulsive than Huang An. At this moment, seeing Xiahou Lan's aggressive look, he raised his head and said with dissatisfaction: "If we don't know the matter, would you dare to kill us all?"

"Second brother, don't be rude!" Huang Anshen was afraid of Huang Shi's trouble, so he quickly stopped him and stepped forward to Xiahou Lan and bowed to him, "This general, when my brother and I followed Uncle Feng by Chenliu, I did ask Miss Cai to accompany us. She was in the carriage behind him at this moment."

When he heard that Cai Yan was in the carriage behind, Xiahou Lan hurriedly urged him to come forward. Zhuang Ding, who was surrounded by hundreds of cavalry, was already scared to the point of being entangled. When he saw that Xiahou Lan was riding alone, no one dared to stop him. He hurriedly dodged to the side and gave him a way. Xiahou Lan turned over and dismounted, inserted his spear on the ground, got on the carriage, and pulled the curtain into the carriage.

Cai Yan was tied up and threw herself in a corner of the carriage, and her mouth was blocked tightly. When she heard someone enter the carriage, she started to whimper because she was afraid.

Xiahou Lan quickly bent down and took out the silk cloth that blocked Cai Yan's mouth. Just as he was about to loosen her, Cai Yan struggled to retreat, shouting desperately: "Go away, go away, don't get close to me!"

Hearing Cai Yan's shouting, Xiahou Lan quickly stopped the movement in her hand and said softly: "Zhao Ji, don't be afraid, I am Xiahou Lan. I am here to rescue you at the order of the lord."

"Xahou Lan?!" Cai Yan, who had been in a state of panic for several days, was a little confused. Although she felt that Xiahou Lan's name was very familiar, she couldn't remember who the other party was for a while? She murmured: "This name is so familiar, but she just couldn't remember where she heard it." Although she couldn't remember who Xiahou Lan was for the time being, she vaguely felt that the other party had no malice towards her, so she did not continue to struggle.

Xiahou Lan pulled out a short knife from her boots, carefully cut off the rope that tied Cai Yan's hands and feet, and helped her sit up. She said to her: "Zhao Ji, have you forgotten that I am Xiahou Lan, the governor of Jizhou and the captain of Han Zhan, the Marquis of Zhangshuiting. I came to rescue you at the order of the lord."

When Cai Yan heard the name Han Zhan, she couldn't help but feel shocked. During the period when she was kidnapped by Feng Ji, she was talking about this name every day. When Xiahou Lan said this, her consciousness gradually became clear. She looked up at Xiahou Lan and said slowly: "I remember, you are Xiahou Lan, a lieutenant under Tinghou."

General Qiu Zhonglang and the two official positions of the Jinshiwei were just taken by Han Zhan based on a book about tomb robbery in later generations, so not many people knew about it. When Xiahou Lan heard Cai Yan say his official position, she couldn't help but smile with a knowing smile on her face. He nodded vigorously and said excitedly: "That's right, that's right, I am the Jinshiweiweiwei's subordinate to Hou Ting."

Cai Yan looked at Xiahou Lan and suddenly remembered Feng Ji who kidnapped her, and then gritted her teeth and asked, "Capital Captain Xiahou, I wonder where Feng Ji dog thief is now?"

"It's outside." Xiahou Lan pointed his hand at the outside of the car and said, "I plan to capture him alive, and then take him back to Yecheng and hand him over to the lord for disposal."

At this moment, although Cai Yan wanted to eat his flesh alive, he thought that Feng Ji and Han Zhan also had a deep blood hatred, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Xiahou Lan: "Since that's the case, let's spare him a life for the time being. It's not too late to deal with him after returning to Yecheng."

After Cai Yan said this, he was stunned at first, and then asked in surprise: "Shou Tingzhou should be in Jizhou, when will he arrive in Yecheng again?"

"Zhao Ji doesn't know anything." Xiahou smiled and explained to Cai Yan: "Ten days ago, my lord had led his army to capture Yecheng, and Yuan Shao disappeared after his defeat." After saying this, he accidentally saw Zhuang Ding surrounding the carriage through the curtain, and asked curiously, "Does Zhao Ji know who is the one who is walking with Feng Ji?"

Hearing Xiahou Lan's question, Cai Yan nodded and said, "Feng Ji once took two young men to my father's grave to worship. He said that they were the two sons of the owner of Huangjiazhuang on the east side. Because he admired his father's talent, he made a special trip to worship."

"Since we are here to worship Shizhong Cai," Xiahou Lan said, and had a puzzled expression on her face: "Then why do they want to kidnap Zhao Ji again?"

When he heard that Cai Yan was in the carriage behind, Xiahou Lan hurriedly urged him to come forward. Zhuang Ding, who was surrounded by hundreds of cavalry, was already scared to the point of being entangled. When he saw that Xiahou Lan was riding alone, no one dared to stop him.
