(The first ten chapters, two more every day, the new book hopes that everyone will collect more, recommend more, and comment more.) Thank you!)

A few days ago, Bai Qing finally got his wish and entered the barracks.

Yangping Pass is surrounded by rammed earth walls rather than thorn fences, which can be regarded as a 'city' in many border pass walls. The garrison was three arms, 2,000 archers, 1,000 cavalry, and 3,000 shieldmen. The total number of these combat sergeants was 6,000, and there were about 100 men, horsesmen, and miscellaneous servants. Of course, all of them are men.

After arriving at Yangping Pass, Bai Qing learned that Mu An gave him the standard uniform that was a shield soldier. Coarse cloth trousers in dark red, a scarf and turban, and a leather belt. There are very few protective gears, just the front and back can't completely cover the rattan armor on the chest and back. The rattan armor is tied together with hemp rope, in short, these clothes are very uncomfortable to wear. Fortunately, Bai Qing was wearing his own boots and did not need to change his shoes, Bai Qing was secretly happy.

On the day he arrived, Bai Qing put a wooden tag around his neck and hid it in his collar. Of course, when I got the wooden card, I still played with it excitedly for a while. This is a name tag that every soldier has, engraved with the unit number and soldier number on one side, and the name and place of origin engraved on the other.

In Bai Qing's opinion, the level of this woodcut is really not very good, and he even made up a few knives himself before he could barely identify it clearly. However, for the first time in the army, I had my own name and number, and I was still very excited.

The food is less meaty, and the rice grains are mixed with sand, but in order to fill his stomach, our young master barely adapted after two hungry meals. Fortunately, as General Mu's personal guard, he had to stay close to the main general, so he did not live with the big soldiers.

"Report ——————"

A shout from far and near woke Bai Qing up. Hurriedly jumped up and put away the marching bed simply, just as Mu An also walked out of the room quickly. Bai Qing hurriedly sorted out his clothes and followed behind.

As soon as the two of them stepped out from behind the screen of the council chamber, a dusty sergeant stepped forward quickly, touching the ground with one knee and raising the bamboo tube in his hand. Mu An gently broke the bamboo tube, and the wax seal opened, shaking out a note inside. waved the sergeant back with his hand before opening the curled note.

"What !!"

Mu An shouted loudly, startling Bai Qing, who was still gently rubbing his sleepy eyes. Hurried over to the note that Mu An was clutching to see what was written on it. But Mu An subconsciously clenched the note, and Bai Qing didn't see a word.

looked up at the second uncle suspiciously, but saw Mu An's eyes filled with anger. Then Muan summoned the herald and whispered a few words in his ear. The herald flew out as if he were flying. Then Mu An grabbed Bai Qing's hand: "Qing'er, come with me!"

The next moment, in the stable, Mu An took out a black war horse and personally equipped it with the saddle reins. Then he removed the saber from his waist and placed it in the recess on the left side of the saddle, which was the original position of the sword. He hugged the neck of the black war horse, stroked his mane, and whispered a few words in the war horse's ear. The war horse suddenly neighed, staring at Mu An with big eyes, and even Bai Qing on the side seemed to see a strong reluctance in the eyes of the war horse.

"You've seen it, Black Mountain is my mount, and I'm giving it to you now. My sword is called 'Tie Zheng', and I know you like it, so I'll give it to you today. ”

"Second uncle, what happened?"

If Bai Qing was still confused just now, now he is completely confused.

Suddenly, a figure flickered. Bai Qing turned his head to look, and behind him, three people knelt down on one knee in front of him, clasping their fists and saluting.

"Mu Shuai, the shadow guard respectfully obeys the commander's order, and will swear to protect Young Master Bai Qing to the death!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work!

Mu An helped the three of them up, turned to Bai Qing again, and pressed his hands on the young man's shoulders.

Shen Sheng whispered to Bai Qing: "In the Bai family's Xiao Bai Wei, there is a secret team, with a total of only twenty people, all of whom are extraordinary. And these three people are the three Tianzi Shadow Guards sent by your father to secretly protect you all the way. You leave quickly, and they will protect you all the way. ”

"What the hell is going on? Second uncle, if you don't say it, how can Qing'er leave?"

Bai Qing grabbed Er Bo'an's hand on his shoulder with his backhand. In any case, he was resolutely reluctant to leave alone. He stared into Muan's eyes, desperate for an answer.

The second uncle's eyes were full of love. Suddenly, the second uncle's eyes flickered behind Bai Qing, and the back of Bai Qing's head was shocked, only to feel that his eyes were blurry and fainted. One of the shadow guards withdrew his palm knife and knelt down on one knee again and clenched his fists: "Mu Shuai, obey your orders!"

Mu An handed the note he was clutching tightly in his hand to the shadow guard.

"This news is from your shadow guard, it must be true. Now the three of you know that the situation is serious, and there is no place to shelter Bai Qing in the Eastern Song Dynasty, and you must not let him return to Shuying City. ”

Then he looked in the direction of Shuying City, and left the stable with a wave of his hand. No longer stopped by the shouts of the shadow guards swearing allegiance behind him.

A moment later, four men and four horses broke out of the gate south of Yangping Pass and ran all the way south. It was the three Tianzi Shadow Guards who had just been ordered to protect Bai Qing and the unconscious Bai Qing.

You must know that the shadow guards are all selected from the Bai family's personal soldiers and white guards, and everyone has outstanding martial arts and has their own strengths. The Tianzi generation in the shadow guard is the best among them, and he has a rich and experienced tactical literacy. The south of Yangping Pass is a hilly area, with mountains and dense forests, which is the best choice for hiding and escaping.

A round of slanting sun is gradually lowering, and the glow is shining. The mountain was as red as a flame. Two men in the woods led four horses while hiding. Suddenly, a woman in a red-clothed suit jumped down from the top of the giant pine on the top of the mountain. After a deft tumult, he came to the side of the two men hiding in the woods.

"Here you can just see Yangping Pass between the mountains, and no one is tracking you for the time being, so we can rest here until the third watch. Looking at this canopy, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and the moonlight in the second half of the night should be a visible road. ”

"Okay, just according to Hongluan. Kunlun and I have already set up the surroundings just now, and the beasts dare not approach, and if anyone comes, I will know immediately. ”

The three of them tied up their horses and gently lowered the sleeping Bai Qing. The slender man walked to the top of the cliff and sat cross-legged in the northeast direction. Hongluan and the burly giant Kunlun also sat on either side.

"Brother, Shuying City... Hongluan looked to the northeast and finally spoke.

"Yes, Red Scale, that's Shuying City, Shuying City, which the lord has been running for generations, how is it possible?"

"Mu Shuai said that the news came from my shadow guard, and there should be no mistake. After the Bai family was the founding father, the head of the Bai family was hereditary Shu Yinghou. But now the city of Shuying is broken, and the Baifu fortress does not exist. I am afraid that the Eastern Song Dynasty will be in danger. The samurai, known as 'Red Scale', sighed.

Hongluan turned her head to look at Bai Qing, and asked her brother in a low voice, "Brother, what should we do now?"

"Mu Shuai's stay in Yangping Pass must be extremely dangerous, let you and I guard Young Master Bai Qing, it must be intended to protect the bloodline of the offer. And the whereabouts of the head of the Bai family are now unknown, and we and the shadow guards should serve this young master Bai Qing as the master. ”

After staring at his sister and saying this, he turned to Kunlun on the other side.

patted the giant man's broad back, changed his tone and said: "The two brothers and sisters of Hongluan and I have been raised by the Bai family since childhood, and they have taught martial arts. Brother Kunlun, you are different, when you can decide for yourself, I will not stop you. ”

Kunlun listened and smiled calmly.

"Among the Tianzi Shadow Guard, Hongluan has achieved light work, and the red scale martial arts are superb, and I Kunlun is trying to pull out the mountains. If you protect your lord, you will have my Kunlun's help. After speaking, he walked to Bai Qing's side, lay down on his side and fell asleep.

The brother and sister were also moved to look at each other and went to rest.

At night, no matter how turbulent the world is, the forest on the top of this mountain is refreshing and comfortable, and the wind moves and insects chirp.

Suddenly, a red light rose into the night sky and exploded in the pitch-black distance, followed by a scream and explosion. The three shadow guards instantly rushed from three directions to the top of the giant pine. Seeing the stars splashing down after the red light exploded, the faces of the three of them sank like water.

"To the north, that's Yangping Pass. "Hongluan was watching from the giant pine before, so he naturally recognized the location of Yangping Pass.

"The red howling arrow rose into the air and exploded, and there was a message from the shadow guard before he died? there is still a shadow guard in Yangping Pass?" Kunlun looked puzzled.

"Don't guess, I'm afraid it's Mu Shuai... Red Scale's sanity made all three of them, including herself, feel frustrated.

He was about to jump down, but he saw a person standing on the top of the mountain, the moonlight shining on him, and the long shadow behind him was motionless.

The earth-shattering sound just now also woke Bai Qing up, and when he saw the direction Kunlun was running, he also ran forward. In the same way, he saw the Red Howling Arrow, and guessed what it meant, just like Red Scale.

Bai Qing turned his head to look at the war horse named 'Black Mountain', and on the side of its saddle, Mu An's saber 'Tie Zheng' was placed.

"Bai Qing, you don't have the idea to fight it! This is my old brother, it won't be at ease with you. As long as it doesn't break, then you have to accompany me to kill the enemy. If it breaks, it's my life!"

"You've seen it, Black Mountain is my mount, and I'm giving it to you now. My sword is called 'Tie Zheng', and I know you like it, so I'll give it to you today. ”

The second uncle's voice echoed in his head, and Bai Qing suddenly surged in his chest. A mouthful of blood spurted out of "Wow", and the boy fell forward. Fortunately, Hongluan, who is good at speed, was already waiting behind him, otherwise Bai Qing would have fallen off the cliff and shattered his bones at this moment. With a skillful operation, Hongluan pulled back Bai Qing and slowly placed the young man who was unconscious again on the ground.

Bai Qing had a dream, in which he saw that he was constantly falling, and he saw some vines, but he couldn't touch them when he stretched out his hand.

The next moment he saw the second uncle parting to him in front of him, he shouted loudly, but the other party didn't seem to hear it;

Then he saw the back of his father moving forward, but he could not catch up;

Later, he fell into his mother's arms, and her mother gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief. Bai Qing reached out and grabbed her mother's hand and shouted, "Mother!"

The mother looked at herself and called softly, "Young Master Bai Qing, are you awake?"

Without saying more, Bai Qing got up. Looking at the sky, it should be the third watch at this moment.

The four of them were in a complicated mood, stuffed some dry food at random, and set out on the road again.

The mountains and forests where Bai Qing and the others are shuttling on horseback at the moment are rarely inhabited, far away from the hustle and bustle.

And Yangping Pass was already a mess, and the soldiers in red and white uniforms fell to the ground countless times, and blood flowed like a river. In the center of one of the open spaces, a golden-armored general holding a battle flag with the word 'white' stood, with more than a dozen feather arrows inserted into his body, an iron spear pierced through his chest, and the other end of the iron spear was on the ground.

Strong, why is the general afraid to go to the battlefield, and he will die in a hundred battles! Mu An is worthy of the heroic martyrs of the Bai family's generations of good generals!

Looking at Shuying City again, the south gate was opened, and the southwest military area in the city completely fell. More than half of the defenders in the city were killed or wounded, and the 300 white guards who remained in the city were captured! The Baifu fortress was in tatters everywhere, and the fire burned all night, and there were few ruins and broken walls left.

For several days in a row, the army that had successfully attacked was all sent out to search everywhere.

The civilian merchants in the city are also miserable, but they are also powerless. No matter how many changes there are in the world, for the people, they just want to have a stable life. In the hearts of the people of Shuying City, it is nothing more than a sigh for the Bai family.
