Chapter 482: The Wolf of the Plains
The innkeeper was even more worried, for fear that even the store would be lifted off if he made a mistake, and the downstairs was already full of people, and the guards of the Xiangguo Mansion shouted for the shopkeeper to prepare breakfast, and set off as soon as possible after eating.
Flawless had already woken up, listening to the noise downstairs, and did not go to the ground, just leaned on the bed in a daze.
In order to avoid Wu Feiyun, they must have to rest here for two more days, but when they really had time, they made him a little dazed.
The future is uncertain, I don't know what kind of situation I will face when I go to Danyang, I don't know if things are still within my control, and I don't know how Leng Qiuzhi's ambition and power have expanded, the shadow of his childhood is hidden in the bottom of his heart, and he will be entangled every time he dreams back at midnight, and he doesn't even know if he can be as calm as before when he faces that person.
So much unpredictability is like a woven net, and you will be overwhelmed.
"Whew-" exhaled lightly, got off the ground flawlessly, and habitually called Xianyi, only for a moment, he was startled, and then stood in place, listening carefully to the movement outside the door.
Because the noise was too loud, his call did not attract everyone's attention, and there were people coming and going outside the door, thinking that Xianyi would not wait outside, Flawless breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the table and sat down.
I was careless, the Xiangguo Mansion could even get the roster, how could I not know the names of everyone around me, this kind of mistake should not be made again.
The heavy snow was still falling, Wu Feiyun went out, looked at the sky impatiently, and then flew on the horse and said, "Go." β
The group of people wandered away, seeing their figures fade out of sight, Huo Xiyang finally let go of the big stone in his heart, turned around and said to Cheng Hao: "Go and call Gongzi, saying that the person has left." β
Yu Chenghao nodded and left, and when he got upstairs, he saw that Xian Yi was just going out, so he walked over with a smile and said, "Brother Huo asked me to call Gongzi, are you going to serve Gongzi?"
"Yes. Xian Yi answered, but didn't say much, walked to the door, saw the ghost wing, hurriedly turned around and walked towards the ghost wing, and said apologetically: "I hurt you last night, the situation is urgent, I have to do it, ghost wing, don't blame me." β
Seeing this, Ghost Wing smiled, but involuntarily touched his face, and said: "It's just a crisp throw, I think it's usually a lot of Nangong fights, and the technique is clean and neat, and I can't see any flaws at all." β
Xian Yi smiled, but suddenly came to his senses again, his cheeks were red, he stomped his feet with hatred, turned around and went to push the door, and shouted: "You have been messing with those people for a long time, and you have become bad, see if I will take care of you in the future." After speaking, the door slammed shut again, and when he heard the door ring, he frowned and said, "What's the matter?
"This person is so bad, he talks nonsense in his mouth when he has nothing to do, what does Nangong Rehe have to do with me, what kind of person is he, why do you have to pull him in everything!" Xian Yi stood behind the door, still stomping his feet and getting angry, Ghost Wing listened to the direct begging for mercy outside the door, but Yu Chenghao was uneasy when he heard it.
Nangong Rehe?!
Who is this person, why does it make Xian Yi react so much, does he hate that person, or is it ......
Still is......
A sour feeling suddenly surged in his heart, Yu Chenghao reached out and pulled his chest, and the two straight eyebrows were twisted together. What's wrong with you? Why is my heart sour, this feeling is so bad, it's a little uncomfortable.
"Brother Yu, what's wrong with you?" he noticed that the face of the person on the other side had become ugly, and Ghost Wing asked with some confusion.
Yu Chenghao shook his head, he didn't know what was wrong with him, but he knew that he didn't want to stand here any longer, so he turned around and left, while Ghost Wing looked at his departing back and gradually locked his brows.
The wind is like a sharp knife passing through the gap, and every time it blows, it hurts unbearably.
The exhaled air was instantly brought back, and the cold hit the face, which was suffocating.
The wheels were deep, every step was so difficult, the team that could not see the front and back could only move slowly, such bad weather was really not suitable for walking, but because of the white mountain soldiers waiting for this grain and grass, they had to continue to move forward.
"General, it's getting dark, and it's easy to get lost when walking at night in this weather, so let's set up camp. The deputy general Wu Hesheng hit the horse from the front to Bai Shaoqing, although the distance was extremely close, he still needed to roar loudly to suppress the whistling wind and let the person on the opposite side hear the words clearly. Bai Shaoqing looked up at the sky, then nodded and said, "Pass the order, clear the venue, set up camp, patrol at night, and continue to move forward tomorrow." β
"Yes!"
The orders were passed down one after another, and when the tent of the military camp was set up, Bai Shaoqing picked up the curtain and entered, sat on the thick felt, took off the armor on his body, and then raised his hands in front of him.
The north is a place of extreme cold, and it is really torture for him, who has never experienced this kind of weather. The cracked parts of the hands have been mottled with blood scabs, and such hands are not to mention anything else, even if they want to pull the bow and arrows, I am afraid that they will no longer be able to do it.
The curtain was raised, Wu Hesheng walked in with a basin of hot water in his hand, and when he came to Bai Shaoqing's side, he put the basin down, and said: "Hurry up and warm your hands, this weather is too cold, the general was born in the south, but I am afraid that he will not be able to adapt to this climate." β
Bai Shaoqing was trying to move his fingertips, but because of the blood scab, he was torn and painful when he moved slightly, he smiled bitterly and said: "No matter how this person is, he still can't compete with nature after all, seeing such a bad climate on the way, I really worry about the soldiers of Baishan." β
Wu Hesheng sighed slightly, motioned to Bai Shaoqing to dip his hands in the water, and said: "Who said no, the environment is already so cruel, but he has to be so oppressed by his own people, thinking of those soldiers who are starving and freezing but still want to keep foreign enemies out of the city gate, it makes people feel sad." β
The water in the basin was not very hot, but it still made the hands feel infinitely warm, and the ten fingers were finally no longer stiff, Bai Shaoqing sighed and took a breath, took out his hands, took the handkerchief and wiped it gently, and said: "I really can't imagine what kind of environment the soldiers are living in, I hope we can fight the enemy side by side with the Hou Ye this time, and then drive back the tiger and wolf of Heboduo, and then eliminate the corrupt forces in the Qing Dynasty and consolidate the imperial power, so that the people will have a good life." β
"That's for the best. Wu Hesheng returned to the basin and went out of the tent.
The continuous mountain peaks are covered with snow, and the valley wafts from time to time with long wolf howls, one after another, which makes people's hearts faintly uneasy. Bai Shaoqing slowly inspected the camp, the team of 20,000 people was densely packed at both ends of the darkness, and only the dim fire emitted sporadic light. Except for the sound of the wind and the howl of wolves, there was a dead silence all around. The bitter cold wind made his newly warm body cold again, and he rubbed his hands vigorously before continuing on his way.
"Whew-whew-"
"Whew--"
The howls of the wolves rushed up and down in an instant, as if something had happened suddenly, Bai Shaoqing's heart was shocked, and he stepped forward a few steps to look at the dark valley, and the soldiers patrolling around were also in an uproar, Bai Shaoqing saw this and hurriedly raised his voice: "Wu Hesheng-"
"My subordinates are here!" replied Wu Hesheng not far away.
"Bring a team of men and horses with me to take a look, and the rest of the people will stand by and no one will move without my orders. β
"Yes!"
Wolves don't take the initiative to attack humans, with so many soldiers stationed here, and there are fires everywhere, but the howl is still getting closer and closer, there must be something extraordinary happening!
Bai Shaoqing turned around and took the bow and crossbow behind him, and then ran towards the valley of the black shadow in a vertical step.
"General-general-" Wu Hesheng shouted hurriedly behind him, and then waved his hand, "Keep up." β
A group of patrolling soldiers followed closely behind, quickly chasing after Bai Shaoqing. The wind and snow were extremely large, and the wolf howl was near and far, floating uncertainly, Bai Shaoqing led people into the mountain forest, ran up the path, and then followed the wolf howl all the way down, until it reached a clearing at the bottom of the valley.
The faint green light reflects the light of the stars in the dazzling white snow, the wolf is a very social species, generally between six and twelve, and at this moment, it seems that this should be a wolf pack, they are now forming an encirclement towards a black shadow in the middle, there is no moon in the sky, the snow still reflects the bottom of the valley, Bai Shaoqing stood in the distance, raised his hand to stop the people behind him, and then pulled out the bow and crossbow from behind, aiming at the independent black wolf behind the wolf pack.
Each pack has a wolf with a leader, and if the first wolf is shot, the pack will break up, but the wolf is very alert, and the sense of smell and hearing is very developed, and if it cannot be hit in one hit, it will be counterattacked.
The bow and crossbow were wound and made a slight sound, but at this moment, the wolves were silent, just ready to attack, waiting for the order of the head wolf.
"Smack-" Behind him, a soldier stepped on a broken dead branch, and in the silence, it was like a boulder entering the water, setting off a stormy wave. The head wolf jumped up with a brush, and took the lead in rushing to the encirclement, Bai Shaoqing saw that it was not good, and shouted in his mouth: "Do it!" The body jumped into the air, and a few arrows had already been sent out in an instant.
I don't know what they are hunting, in the chaotic scene, they can only use knives instead of arrows, Bai Shaoqing pulled out the dagger on his waist with his backhand, and rushed into the wolves first.
In the face of the sudden crowd, the wolves did not flinch, and at the moment when the first wolf attacked, they all waited for the opportunity to rise, let out a roar in their throats, and launched an attack on the sudden attacker regardless of a qiΔ.
Roars and roars echoed through the valley, the smell of blood echoed in the cool air, and warm liquids splashed in all directions with the light of the sword.
The black shadow in the encirclement did not sit still, when the wolf rushed in, the black shadow suddenly burst out, and pounced vigorously, twisting the wolf's neck, and rolling a few times together between stumbling, the wolf raised his head and bit him on the shoulder, but he just pulled the wolf's head hard, and did not let go.
Blood gushed out, the flesh and blood on the shoulder were torn by the wolf's teeth, a blur, Bai Shaoqing rushed forward with a step, and pierced the short dagger from the top of the wolf's head at the moment when the man's hands broke the wolf's head with both hands, and with a stroke of the stroke, the head wolf let out a wail, and it was silent for a moment, and the rest of the wolves whined after hearing that wail, and then scattered in all directions, and disappeared in an instant.
"Generalβ"
"General, it's okay!" Seeing that the wolves dispersed, the soldiers all moved closer to Bai Shaoqing, Bai Shaoqing shook off the blood on his face, turned around and said loudly: "I'm fine!
Wu Hesheng turned around and tapped the number of people, and said, "Only two minor injuries." β
"Good!"
Bai Shaoqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked down at the person under the wolf, who was obviously exhausted, and he didn't know how long he had been running against this wolf pack, and he was no longer able to get up at this time, so he only looked up at the sky and gasped loudly.
Bai Shaoqing saw that he was wearing the military uniform of the Jiuyuan Garrison, but it was already in tatters, so he stretched out his hand to the man's eyes: "What is your name, where is the garrison?"
Only then did the man come back to his senses, looked at him, then blinked tiredly, and stretched out his hand to clasp his palm: "The Nagano garrison was originally going to Jiuyuan to ask for help, but it encountered a snowstorm in the middle of the road, got lost, and was attacked by wolves again. β
"Anyone else?"
The man propped himself up, shook his head with a gloomy expression, and looked back at the person he had been protecting, only to see that the man was lifeless at the moment, obviously dead.
"We are the army of Jiuyuan to send grain to Baishan, the grain and grass in the capital have been distributed to various places, you don't have to go to Jiuyuan anymore, we are going to Baishan now, you can follow us!"
The man looked overjoyed when he heard this, nodded his head, and said, "That's very good, otherwise the brothers in Nagano won't be able to hold on." β
Seeing that he was fearless in the face of the wolves alone, Bai Shaoqing felt admiration in his heart, smiled slightly, and said, "I am Bai Shaoqing, the head coach of Xiying, what is your name?"
"Nobody, the general can call me Wenzheng, my surname is Fang, my name is Wenzheng!"
My name is Fang Wenzheng!
