Sun Xiaozhe and Zhang Tongru waited for about an hour, but there were no more than 100 people who caught up one after another, and they didn't know whether those who couldn't make it over were lost or killed by wild bees. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But he didn't plan to turn back, no matter what the reason, whether he couldn't come over, or he didn't want to come over, there was no need to go to these people, and the most important thing was to hurry more while it was dawn.

"The soldiers and my Sun Xiaozhe have experienced such a catastrophe together, and there will be a time of resurrection if you don't die in the future, you must grit your teeth and persevere to the end!"

Sun Xiaozhe rarely gave this kind of lecture, and if it had been like this in the past, it would have been exchanged for overwhelming cheers, but now there is no second sound in the mulberry forest except the ticking sound of raindrops falling on the leaves.

"Dashuai, we can't delay any longer, hurry up and get on the road!"

The first one to say is Zhang Tongru, Sun Xiaozhe's words are actually very incendiary, although those soldiers did not say anything, but there is still a glimmer of hope in their almost desperate eyes, as long as there is this glimmer of hope, there will always be a way out.

The war horses were killed and wounded, and less than 200 of the more than 500 people still had war horses with them, and even Sun Xiaozhe and Zhang Tongru lost their war horses when the wild bees attacked. The spies sent back to investigate the situation returned one after another, but instead of seeing the shadow of the living people, even the lost horses were nowhere to be found, which further dispelled their desire to turn back, and without further ado, they had to continue their journey westward.

This time, they walked cautiously, for fear of provoking another unwarranted disaster such as "wild bees".

Walking slowly, Sun Xiaozhe naturally began to discuss the situation in front of him with Zhang Tongru.

"There are too many fallacies in the marks on the map, maybe the Gobi is in front, maybe there is still this kind of difficult mulberry forest mountain area in front of you, and you can't predict the approximate time of the marching army, which is what worries me the most!"

"Dashuai has come up with a way to raise food?"

In Zhang Tongru's view, their top priority, that is, Sun Xiaozhe's greatest concern, should be food.

Sun Xiaozhe looked up at the sky, "If you walk for half a day, dig grass roots on the spot, or hunt wild beasts in the mountains, you won't die!"

Along the way, Sun Xiaozhe also communicated, he had a period of Orion experience when he was young, this mountain forest can be said to be full of treasures, guarding a treasure of Nuoda, if he dies, wouldn't it be a big joke?

Thousands of people may not be able to feed through gathering, fishing and hunting, but now there are only about 500 people, and they can still barely try.

It was precisely because of this foundation in his heart that he was able to jump out of the circle of thinking about finding food, and focus on how to safely escape from the geographical scope affected by the Shenwu Army.

Although judging from intelligence, after the Ningzhou Shenwu Army, they were no longer able to reach out, but now they can even toss wild bees and they almost collapsed, so unlucky can not expect the best situation. It's always wrong to think about the situation you're facing.

Perhaps they had walked for about an hour before they caught a hunter alive.

This hunter also fled to the mountains because of the war, but he never expected that even then he would fall into the hands of traitors.

Sun Xiaozhe looked at this hunter who was crying for mercy with pity, and there was a chill in his heart, these Guanzhong people are afraid that they hate themselves to the bone, and if they are in a different place, they will be torn into tens of thousands of pieces, and even ......

"Crying very much, the handsome didn't say that he wanted to take your dog's life, as long as he led the way honestly, he could live!"

Zhang Tongru swore an oath, and the Orion asked in a snort:

"Really?"

Sun Xiaozhe nodded expressionlessly.

"Where are you going forward, and how far are you going to get to Ningzhou?"

These two questions were confirmed by Sun Xiaozhe's eagerness to be confirmed from the hunting account.

Orion was surprised.

"This, this is already the boundary of Ningzhou, and you will reach the Phoenix Valley by walking twenty miles ahead, and there is a big river out of the Phoenix Valley, called Baima River. ”

Orion replied in detail, and the result was also beyond Sun Xiaozhe's expectations, he didn't expect that after walking in the mountains and forests for a day, he had already arrived at the boundary of Ningzhou in a daze and didn't know it, so he had succeeded a little bit.

Thinking of this, Sun Xiaozhe's face softened a lot, and even brought a little smile.

"Now that you're in Baekmacheon, you guess it's not far from Gyeongju, right?"

Orion thought for a moment and replied very seriously:

"You can walk to the border of Gyeongju in another day, but after going north out of this mulberry forest, it is mostly a swampy mudflat, and if you are not careful, you may fall into it and lose your life. ”

"Is it possible to avoid these swampy mudflats?"

"Naturally, the little old man has walked this deep mountain with a radius of hundreds of miles since he was a child, and he can touch it out with his eyes closed!"

This Orion is only submissive, which makes Sun Xiaozhe disdainful, but this kind of person is very timid, so it is so easy to cooperate, in order to make him work harder, he took out a gold ingot from the spleen cyst on his waist and still held it in front of him.

"This ingot of gold is a reward for you, as long as you take us and others around the swamp mudflats and successfully reach Gyeongju, there is such a big ingot of gold for you!"

Orion greedily grabbed the gold ingot in his hand, as if he would slip away as soon as he let go of his hand, and then lay on the ground and kowtowed to Sun Xiaozhe again and again, thanking him a thousand times.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, if there is a half-point difference, the end will be like this!"

Before the words fell, the horizontal knife was already unsheathed, and a mulberry tree with the thickness of a wrist was cut off at the waist. Suddenly, the hunter was so frightened that he trembled like chaff, muttered to himself, and turned to beg for mercy, saying that he would never dare to deceive in the slightest.

After such a performance, Sun Xiaozhe is very satisfied, as long as ordinary people are so coercive and tempting, there is no one who will not be surrendered.

"Okay, get up, as long as you lead the way, you will be rewarded!"

With a local hunter as a guide, the march is at least twice as fast and there are no detours. Soon, Sun Xiaozhe found that the originally vast mulberry forest had come to an end.

At this point, he no longer worries about the chasing soldiers behind him, no matter how powerful the Shenwu Army is, it is also a guest army in this place, and the mulberry forest that stretches for dozens of miles behind him is a natural barrier, how easy is it to catch up with them?

Early the next morning, Sun Xiaozhe with more than 500 people has arrived at the Baima River, at this time it is the peach blossom flood, originally the Baima River is just a small river, but now the water is quite turbulent.

The river flows from north to south, joins the Maling River, and then turns southeast to join Weishui more than 40 miles east of Baqiao. To put it bluntly, the Baima River is only a tributary of a tributary of Weishui, but the significance of this river to Sun Xiaozhe is by no means a tributary.

As long as you go north along the Baima River, you can reach Yanzhou, after Yanzhou is the vast Gobi steppe, where the Tang / army has been beyond the reach of the whip, although there are also set up Sheng, Xia Erzhou, but its influence is difficult to compare with the counties in Guanzhong.

Sun Xiaozhe took out a certain amount of gold from the leather pouch around his waist and threw it at the feet of the hunter.

"Reward you, put it away!"

Orion bent down to pick up the gold ingot, and with the sound of gold and iron rubbing, the horizontal knife was unsheathed, and the shiny blade had pierced through its back, straight through its chest. The sturdy body fell to the ground with a pop, but although such a knife stabbed hard, it was not killed immediately. Orion turned over in pain, looking at Sun Xiaozhe with a painful expression but angry eyes.

"You, you dog thief, backtracking......"

Sun Xiaozhe sneered again and again.

"I said there would be a heavy reward, and now I have fulfilled my promise, but I have never promised to spare your life! If you want to blame your bad luck, the army is secret, and your whereabouts must not be exposed, only the dead can keep the secret forever, and now it is extremely ......generous to leave you a whole corpse."

Unexpectedly, the hunter laughed wildly, and at the same time blood spurted from his mouth, and he could not survive.

"Dog thief, dog thief, do you really think that I will obediently listen to your coercion and temptation? If you dog thieves who killed me these days, killed my parents, fornicated my wife and daughter, and did not share the revenge of the heavens, wouldn't it be in vain to leave the world?"

But when he saw that Orion's eyes were split, his head suddenly shrank, and he died of anger.

Sun Xiaozhe stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar, lifted it hard, shook it vigorously, and then slammed it on the ground.

"It's so fast to die!

Having said that, Sun Xiaozhe still had a hint of foreboding in his heart.

His gaze swept along the White Horse River, "You must not stay here for a long time, immediately head north!"

Originally, they planned to leave the woodland and repair it in the middle of the night before marching north, but with Orion's half-cut words before he died, it was better to set off immediately for the sake of caution.

Suddenly, Sun Xiaozhe only felt that the ground under his feet was trembling faintly, but he leaned down and touched the ground with his hands, but there was no movement, which seemed to be an illusion. After he stood up, he sighed, perhaps because he was too nervous, but some of the grass and trees were all gone. This time is already far away from Guanzhong, even if Tang Jun puts on his wings, it is impossible to fly here at this time!

However, his feet trembled suddenly, and this time the sense of touch was extremely clear, and it was by no means an illusion of suspicion, and Sun Xiaozhe's heart was raised in his throat.

"Look, big handsome, yes, it's cavalry!"

Sun Xiaozhe followed the finger of a soldier and looked north, only to see the rolling iron flowing like a flood.

Seeing this scene, his pupils contracted suddenly, and then a faint despair surged in his chest, and his eyes were scattered, falling on the dead hunter, and he couldn't help but be angry.

But the matter has come to this point, even if the Orion is broken into thousands of pieces, it will not help.

How could the remnants of the defeated army outrun the morale-boosting cavalry? The other side must have discovered them, and it would be futile to escape, but how could they be willing to sit back and wait for death?

"After the last general stays and breaks off, the marshal retreats first!"

Zhang Tongru still does not give up, and Sun Xiaozhe has long lost the determination to die.

"Good brother, this great favor can only be repaid by Sun Xiaozhe in the next life!"

"Take care, take care, and slowly, change the clothes and armor of ordinary soldiers and then ......"

Sun Xiaozhe knew that Zhang Tongru's stay was a certain death, but he couldn't guarantee anything, so he had to protect himself from the next life. But Zhang Tongru didn't seem to care about the afterlife, and suddenly felt that Sun Xiaozhe's clothes and armor were too conspicuous......
