The autumn wind blew red all over the mountains, patrolling the defensive city wall, Pei Shuo hoped to take A-Yao to see the maple forest in front of him one day, which was one of the few pleasures in the boring life of the soldiers.

In the autumn of last year, when the Northern Barbarians attacked by surprise, he shot and killed one of the Northern Barbarians, and lit a beacon fire for the nearby Lion Ridge Beacon Tower, beating drums to warn, so that the soldiers on duty at the Lion Ridge successfully retreated from the enemy.

The Northern Barbarians were divided into three routes, all the way south to Ping'an Town to fight the Grass Valley, in order to lure away the generals in Yanmen, all the way to occupy the Feihu Ridge where only two people were on duty, steal weapons, impersonate the Yanmen soldiers and blend into the Yanmen, and the internal should burn the granary to attract the attention of most of the soldiers, and the third way the Northern Barbarians turned to attack the Lion Ridge through the Flying Tiger Ridge, waiting for the signal of the internal response, launched an attack on the Yanmen, and occupied the Yanmen in one fell swoop-

It's a pity that Pei Shuo broke an important link in their plan.

The Northern Barbarians were defeated and took Yanmen, and over there, the commander noticed that the number of Beiban in Ping'an Town was small, but he kept dragging them, realizing that their drunkards did not mean to drink, and quickly returned to Yanmen, and finally returned to Yanmen on the night of the fire.

Afterwards, the city wall from Lion Ridge to Feihu Ridge was built in a hurry, and the vacancy was connected. Pei Shuo was rewarded, and Li Yongwu and others did not embarrass him anymore, and there was no need to move bricks, but instead patrolled the city wall.

In winter, soldiers are trained and martial arts, sowing and plowing in spring and summer, and autumn is in the blink of an eye.

Before autumn, Yanmen came to a confrontation match between military camps and military camps.

The winning side can get a short vacation, and the losing side harvests the rice, Pei Shuo's Xiliu camp won, and the excited Fang Jiabao hooked Pei Shuo's neck, "Where are you going to play in a few days off?" I see that they plan to go to Ping'an Town, but Ping'an Town was beaten to the grass valley last year, I always feel a little panicked, what about you, what is the best place to go?"

Pei Shuo's temperament has been polished by the military camp for more than a year, and he has converged a lot, and he thought about it when he heard it: "Go to Ping'an Town to have a look." ”

Fang Jiabao's face fell: "You also go to Ping'an Town, what if, I said in case, what if Ping'an Town is not safe?"

In a word, it is a prophecy.

Like Fang Jiabao, who has not left Yanmen for more than a year, stepping into the boundary of Ping'an Town is like returning to the lively and prosperous world from the deep mountains and old forests, and he rushes into the market, and he can still be heard excitedly buying this and that.

"Remember meeting at the door of the Rifle Restaurant before sunset. The centurion shook his head at Fang Jiabao's happy appearance, and shouted loudly, "Free movement, there are scholars near the post station in the town to write letters on behalf of the family, if necessary, you can go over and bring a letter to the family." By the way, walk around a lot, and you will always find good things. Fang Jiabao had already run away, and the centurion reminded the others and told them not to reveal their identities.

Pei Shuo walked around the Ping'an Town Market alone.

Everywhere you can see merchants from the south to the north, foreign merchants with camels, from the southeast to sell spices and pearls, gems and tea from the southwest, grains and grains, fruits and vegetables, and even weapons and armor.

Ping'an Town has a special location, built on the Gobi Desert, located at the junction of the two countries, closer to the border than Yanmen, Yanmen is the main road from the north to Yanzhou, across Yanzhou and Jinshui River, it is a road straight to the capital.

Ping'an Town is an earthen fort standing on the Gobi Desert, but the south gate and the north gate that run through the north and south are not built gates, and the north and south of the country can enter and exit freely, there are no residents, there is no military government and county government, only the Chamber of Commerce, this is an important trade town, so the fish and dragons are mixed, which is why the centurion specially reminded them not to reveal their identities -

The soldiers of Yanmen can come, and the Beiyi people in the north can also come.

"The most sold is grain and salt, and the armor is no longer a few, and the material of the fur is average, and there is nothing new to send to A-Yao. After walking around, Pei Shuo had a general understanding.

The merchant who sold rattan armor smiled happily, and looked at the quality was okay, and the ghost sent him to buy one to wear on his body and put on his coat.

"Pei Shuo—"

Hearing Fang Jiabao's shout from afar, Pei Shuo looked around, he sprinted for 100 meters, carrying a lot of things in his hands, his face was red and very excited, and when he saw Pei Shuo of the same age, the conversation opened immediately: "Don't look at the small here, there are many things, you see, the fur of the grassland is soft, I bought 2, one stayed in the camp, and the other was sent home for my mother......"

"Let's find a place to eat and sit down. Pei Shuo said.

Fang Jiabao had to go to the post station first, send the things home, and then go to eat with Pei Shuo.

But with a matter of heart, Pei Shuo took him to and from the Fu Inn, Fang Jiabao swallowed his saliva and moistened his throat, and continued to tell Pei Shuo what he saw and heard.

The first few people in front of You Shang with eagle eyes and noses, and their hair color was slightly different from that of the Central Plains, turned around, looked at the figures of Pei Shuo and Fang Jiabao leaving, and gave each other a look, far behind them.

Pei Shuo faintly felt as if someone was following, but whether he looked back or stopped to look in the mirror, he didn't find any suspicious characters when he looked around.

Could it be his delusion?

With suspicion, Pei Shuo and Fang Jiabao returned to the Rifle Inn, and everyone else was already sitting in their seats to eat.

"Let's sit at that table and order something to eat. Fang Jiabao pursed his lips and pulled Pei Shuo to another table and ordered steamed porridge. He was stunned when he saw Li Yongwu, every time he saw him, he always remembered that he gave a sum of money to make some points, so that he didn't have to pick bricks every day, and he was so distressed that he couldn't beat him, so he tried to avoid this kind of person.

Pei Shuo was silent, staring at the door, he trusted his instincts, but who could it be, could it be the Beiyi people in Saibei, but at that time, the enemy on Feihu Ridge had been killed by him, it was impossible for there to be a fish that slipped through the net, and there was no hype afterwards, was this tracking temporary or deliberate?

By raising his hand to drink tea, Pei Shuo took a look at the Fu Inn, and the feeling of being watched disappeared since he entered the inn.

Studied but cannot comprehend.

"Pei Shuo, Pei Shuo, the steamed buns are here, eat them quickly. Fang Jiabao said.

"Oooh. Pei Shuo picked up the porridge and ate the steamed buns, missing the porridge made by A-Yao, the rice grains were raw and flowery, thick and thick, and Sixi roasted wheat, which is like this inn, and there are not a few grains of rice in the gruel.

"Little brother, do you want to pickle the laiphane?" The sweet and sour porridge is delicious?" The child carrying the basket asked one table at a time, some people looked at the small plate of laiphane in the basket, the water spirit looked crisp, exuding a sour vinegar smell, and he was greedy for a while, he asked for a small plate, and asked Pei Shuo for the table, Pei Shuo shook his head, Fang Jiabao was a little moved, but he still shook his head.

The child walked around, seemed to be almost sold and left, just stepped out of the inn and went straight to the front of a few men, the street was full of people, I don't know what they said, the child had dozens of copper coins in his hand, slipped into the alley, like a loach back to the muddy water, and couldn't find anyone in the blink of an eye.

The centurion asked them if they wanted to go any further, and if they didn't, they would go back. Including Pei Shuo and Fang Jiabao, there are no opinions.

Depart back to Yanmen.

Halfway through, a few people had their stomachs rumbling one after another, wanting to reincarnate the grains.

The centurion pinched his nose and said to the grass: "Just a few of you just ate laiphane, and everyone else is fine, then let's continue to walk first, and a few of you hurry up to catch up, do you hear?"

"Got it!"

After walking for a while, the centurion turned around, "Those boys, why don't you catch up now?"

"Maybe it's because my legs are weak and I can't walk. Li Yongwu said. "Walk to the tea house in ten miles and wait for them, if you haven't caught up with them, you will find someone to look back. ”

In the next moment-

"Oh no!

With one foot on the earth-colored cloth, it was too late for the centurion to shout, and he fell into the pit.

Li Yongwu reached out and grabbed the centurion's hand, but he was attacked from behind, the stick slammed into his back, he snorted, stabilized and pulled the centurion to the ground, but the next moment, his leg socket was kicked by someone, knocking him down, and the centurion both fell into the pit.

As for the rest of the people who panicked instantly, they came out on vacation with knives, guns and clubs, trying to deal with the enemy with their bare hands, they didn't even need to show their faces, a large net sprayed to wipe them out!

Until the eyes are blindfolded, the mouth is gagged, and a group of people are escorted to an unknown place, they still don't know who those people really are.

"Who are you?" Pei Shuo asked as soon as he was removed from the gag cloth.
