54 Bereaved Youth

Although You Xue avoids the mountains and forests, if you want to bypass the level of the Garo soldiers and quietly enter the city, you still need to bypass the mountains.

When she disembarked and disembarked, it was almost dark, and the old uncle told her that after passing through the Jackdaw Crossing, there was a post where she could stay overnight.

But You Xue did not follow the route that the old uncle said, she got out of the Jackdaw Crossing, went down a path by a stream, passed through a deep river valley, and saw a boundary monument in front of her - Jiagu Pass.

The mountains on both sides of the pass road are strange and majestic, the green peaks overlap, you can see two unusually tall watchtowers built according to the top of the mountains in the distance, the towers are lit in all directions as far as the eye can see, there are patrols walking around, and the winding pass road of the mountains is garrisoned by ten steps and one sentry, and some travelers or people escorting ox carts are still along the entrance of the pass, and they are being searched by those Garo soldiers.

You Xue frowned, and retreated to the edge of the waterfall, she took a handful of water in the stream to wash her face, and was suddenly stunned, the sky was getting dark, and she couldn't see the water quality clearly, but just now, all the way, the stream water was crystal clear, how could there be a strange smell?

She picked up some more and sniffed them closer, and her scalp tingled.

She looked up at the source of the waterfall, and between the dark sky, it was covered by the mist, and she couldn't see clearly, so she could only jump up a cliff, and then turn over and run up to the branch of the highest tree, narrowly stabilizing her balance, not that she had already found the source, but that she heard the human voice.

There was a faint cry and lewd laughter and scolding in the breeze, and You Xue gently jumped down the tree and followed the source of the sound.

On an open meadow in the forest, more than a dozen pig-headed and horse-like lynx beasts were tied to the side eating bloody limbs, You Xue saw the whole picture of the lynx beast clearly this time, there were a few colored spots between the gray and bright hairs of the whole body, the white and pointed ears were alert to the movements around Fang Yuan, the sturdy and vigorous four hooves were excitedly digging the sand and gravel under their feet, and the long fangs sticking out of the nostrils were like a sharp hook, twisting and cutting the limbs.

This is the mount of the army of the Gara Kingdom, fierce and bloodthirsty and cunning, like the master who domesticated them, for some reason, You Xue flashed this realization in his mind, and he was terrified and vigilant.

The fire was burning brightly, the erected stands were roasting game, and the golden oil was bubbling, and a group of Garo soldiers were laughing and laughing around the fire, and the cry of the woman for mercy was mixed with the beating and cursing of the man. There was also a group of few women curled up in rags, desperate and helpless.

"Enough is enough! Just have a lot of fun! I have to leave a few to take back to the general!" a swarthy middle-aged man with a fleshy face and a strong body shouted to the forest in a rough voice.

Another sturdy soldier sitting around the fire said, "Boss, doesn't the general dislike women?"

The swarthy middle-aged man known as the boss turned cold, and threw the thin wooden stick that was stirring the fire in his hand at the soldier with an obscene face, only to hear a miserable howl, the soldier rolled on the ground with his head in his hands, and a smell of burnt paste emanated from him.

I only heard the boss say: "Remember, the general's habits are not something that my subordinates can discuss, if it weren't for you and me for many years, just with your words, the general can let you have hundreds of criminal laws that are worse than death!"

You Xue looked at the prisoner who was tied up like a dumpling, only to see that he was ragged and unkempt, and he couldn't see his true face.

You Xue raised her hand and pressed the sword at her waist, and slowly walked towards them from behind the tree.

"Who!"

"Whew!"

The rebuke rang out at the same time as the roar of the beast.

But it was only for a moment, the silver light flashed, the wind sounded slightly, and a dagger glowing with purple light had fallen back into You Xue's hand, and blood was still dripping from the sharp blade, and the corpses were all over the ground.

You Xue looked at this dagger, and suddenly remembered that this dagger belonged to Zhen Yunze, as well as the purple hosta in her purse, she said goodbye without saying goodbye, and she didn't even return it to him.

At this time, a surviving Garo soldier suddenly ran out of the bushes, he didn't even lift his pants, and when he saw the tragic scene in front of him, he exclaimed, "What's the matter?"

You Xue flew up in an instant, strangled his neck, pressed a dagger against his rolling Adam's apple, and said with frost: "Say, why are you arresting so many women?"

"This is the general's order, no matter our business!" the man trembled and trembled.

"Who are your generals?"

"Unsinkable!"

"Where is he?"

"The county guard in the city of Luoluo, please spare me!"

You Xue felt some wet liquid wet the back of her shoes, and couldn't help but wonder if these Garo soldiers were really as brave and invincible as the legend?

"Excuse me, answer me one more question, who is under the rule of these lynxes?"

"It's... Be...... Uh......"

You Xue only felt that the person in his hand was weak, and the dagger cut a bloody mark between his neck, but what was fatal was a black poison nail in the heart.

The poison nail came from the grass he had just come out of.

You Xue's eyes froze, and she flew towards the place where the hidden weapon came from.

At that moment, she clearly saw the man's black bulge flying, and the sarcoma of the knuckle of the man's left finger was obviously raised in the moonlight.

But Ren is very fast, chasing out the distance, but can no longer catch any trace, as far as the eye can see, the shadows of the trees are longing, and there is silence.

When she turned back, the women were gone, only the boy who had been tied up like a dumpling still hanging from a tree.

You Xue lowered him to the ground, untied the rope for him, and asked, "Who are you, and why were you arrested?"

The boy seemed to be seriously injured, and half-knelt on the ground rubbing his stiff joints, looking up at her, "Thank you." My name is Huyanke. ”

You Xue was stunned, and in the firelight, a pair of red eyes were shining, but the whites of her eyes were bloodshot.

Seeing that You Xue's face was different, Hu Yanke thought that her strange appearance had frightened her, so he lowered his head sharply and turned sideways to avoid You Xue's sight.

"You...... Are you a remnant?"

"Yes, I'm sorry to scare you, thank you for saving your life, and leave it at that. With that, the boy struggled to get up and was about to leave.

You Xue hurriedly called out to him: "Hey, wait a minute, where are you going?"

The boy paused, still hanging his head, his tattered clothes fluttering in the mountain wind.

"I'm going to save my sister, who has been kidnapped and taken to the city of Solos. ”

You Xue stepped forward and grabbed him, "How do you go to Luoluo City like this!" Her eyes swept over the corpses of the soldiers, and said, "Change into their clothes first." ”

"No, the sons of the Western Crossbow Tribe don't wear wolf skins!" the young man stubbornly broke away from her hand and continued to move forward.

You Xue stopped in front of him, "The Jialuo soldiers who are ten steps and one sentry in this direction you are walking are waiting for you! The eldest husband can bend and stretch, and it would be good to wait until he arrives in the city to change it! The heroic son is not in the skin, but in the brain!"

Seeing that the stubborn big boy was still walking briskly down the mountain, You Xue said, "Do you still want to save your sister?"

Huyanke's footsteps froze, he slowly turned around, his face was covered with mud and he couldn't see his expression clearly, and after struggling for a moment, he still nodded awkwardly.

After changing his clothes, he saw You Xue pile up the corpses of those Garo soldiers and lynx beasts and burn them in a fire.

In the blazing firelight, he looked at the girl with burning eyes, "In the Qur'an Kingdom, only the national teacher can issue an order to give fire at the stake, and those who break their bones and scatter ashes will be punished." ”

You Xue shrugged, "This is the source of the water flow below, if the corpse is decomposed, it will pollute the water flow, since you came from the western crossbow of the grassland south of Tongguan, you should know that the scourge of the epidemic in Taoxiang is terrible." ”

"Wouldn't it be better to poison those enemy beasts!" said Huyanke disdainfully.

You Xue shook her head, "The area around Jiagu Pass is not only the lair of the Jialuo soldiers, but also the innocent poor people. ”

She saw that Huyankewu was stunned spontaneously, and pulled him: "Hurry up, the movement is so big, I'm afraid it will attract enemy soldiers!"

Huyanke asked: "You not only saved me, but also helped me, why?"

"You're so annoying, let's put it this way, we're on the same road, and I'm going to find someone in Luoluo City, it's as simple as that!"
