Rushing with the army, there is nothing to enjoy on the way, looking left and right, looking forward and backward, all of them are ox carts and mule carts loaded with grain and grass and heavy baggage and soldiers who are in a hurry to catch up with their faces, Xiaolu is wrapped by a team of soldiers specially sent by Lei Yu, and it is basically impossible to run away halfway, so they have to follow the speed of the team to move forward or stop.

In fact, there are indeed not too many beautiful scenery to enjoy on the road after that, either lofty mountains or steep mountains, and I feel tired of seeing too much, Young Master Yan Jiu is basically either reading or sleeping along the way, Xiao Chen is either reading or discussing archery skills with Yan Qi or listening to Yan Qi and Cui Xi chatting, Yan Qi and Cui Xi are the most leisurely, and they are eating, sleeping, sleeping and chatting every day.

Fortunately, Lei Yu's goods have not been entangled with Cui Xi so far, because he is sick, he just came back from southern Xinjiang not long ago, and he has not slowed down, so he was thrown to the north by the emperor.

The most pitiful thing is that he can't stop to rest when he is sick, and he can't afford such a big crime as delaying food and grass, even if he is a son, so he has to continue marching with illness, and it doesn't take a few days to get sick like a cramped monkey, where is the energy to entangle Cui Xi.

Therefore, the people of the Xiaolu walked quietly and steadily, and finally walked out of the endless mountainous area with the grain army not long after the Qingming Festival.

After the mountainous area is the jungle, after a few days of walking through the forest, and then through a vast grassland, after dozens of days, the vegetation gradually thins, the sand and gravel increase, and gradually has some scenery of the Gobi Desert.

"It's almost there. "Young Master Yan Jiu put together the map and said slowly.

"How far is it?" Yan Qi asked.

"Walk on such a Gobi for another ten days. ”

For more than ten days, it was all like this, the scenery was boring, the road was bumpy, there was a lack of water and vegetables, and there was a lot of dry sand.

In fact, this is not the most difficult part of the road, this time through the jungle, all kinds of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects and stingers made the grain army non-combat attrition of a group of people, and then across the grassland, there are no fewer poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, and there are more unguardable grassland swamps, that is even more unbearable experience, a cow pulling a grain cart unfortunately fell in, after being pulled out by the soldiers, the lower body was only left with the skeleton, and in a short period of time I don't know what was gnawed into that look, although the soldiers were careful and careful, they still failed to avoid casualties, and many people were even scared to cry while wading through the devil's meadow。

Fortunately, the Xiaolu was strong enough, and this way was considered to have come over without danger, Cui Xi and Young Master Yan Jiu were each sick once, but fortunately, the medicine was sufficient, and the five branches of medical skills were quite two, and neither of them suffered much due to illness.

After more than ten days of turbulence on the Gobi Desert, the largest city in Beisai and the center of the border area, Fengtu City, is already in sight.

Wind slaughter city, only from the name can be glimpsed the natural environment of Beisai fierce, perhaps because the name is too murderous, more people still like to call it directly the border city, in the border city around there are also some small towns and villages, the grain army along the way but did not meet many people, because of the war, here has long been ten households and nine empty.

The destination is in sight, the soldiers who have experienced the double tribulation and hardship of the ** and the spirit, in addition to the excitement, but also because of the spiritual tension of the string loosened, the endless fatigue suddenly hit the body, the superintendent in the Lei Yu after the order to suspend the march, rest in place for a night and then start again.

Yan Qi Xiao Chen and Wuzhi on the Xiaolu are okay, Young Master Yan Jiu and Cui Xi are almost tossed half of their lives, even if they take the train and bus, it is unbearable to walk like this for more than three months in a row, not to mention the ancient carriage with wooden wheels, the two of them almost vomited and walked later, and it was easy to stop vomiting and start to pull again, and after pulling it was over, it was a cold and fever on the fire, and now one person has lost a lot of weight, if it weren't for the five branches of medicine and acupuncture with this, these two goods are estimated to have been pigtailed on the grassland.

"You know what will happen to you. Yan Qi said these two. She couldn't be idle when the two of them were sick on the road, so she took medicine and handed water to wipe her body and change her clothes, and she almost took care of the and urine, and the people also lost weight, and they were almost a heavyweight with Lu Rong, and the clothes brought out from home were all fat on their bodies.

Young Master Yan Jiu ignored her, and drank the five medicinal tea prepared for him on the pillow, Cui Xi was lying on the opposite couch and laughed at her weakly, and his voice was as empty as a mosquito: "Fortunately, it's finally coming." ”

"Sad," Yan Qi sat beside him, and tried it on his forehead, this person had just had a fever last night, and his lips were bloodless, "I can't follow you anymore in the future, look at what scares me, white hair has grown." ”

Cui Xi smiled, closed his eyes tiredly, let Yan Qi take a towel to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and listened to her low and low voice drifting into his ears: "Sleep, Ming'er will be better, go into the city to take a hot bath to get rid of the sickness, sleep well on the big bed, and when we have the spirit, we will go to see the desert, this season is the best, neither hot nor cold, the sky is high and the clouds are light......"

Dimly fell asleep.

Yan Qi folded the blanket for Cui Xi, got up lightly and drilled out of the car, and then went to the storage compartment on the side of the carriage to get the simple toilet, Xiao Chen also followed out from inside, and accompanied her to a long distance - surrounded by soldiers, she is a daughter after all, and she must always take precautions.

"Okay, I can do the rest on my own. "Yan Qidao.

"......" Xiao Chen stopped, saw her walk into the distance again, and then turned her back and looked at the Gobi Desert at night.

Finally accompanied her to this place, the mountains, wind and rain, flowers and trees, streams and clouds along the way, are still deeply engraved in the mind and have never faded, and the end of the journey is in front of you in a blink of an eye.

Sometimes it's inevitable to selfishly think about how nice it would be if this journey never ended.

It's a pity that there will be an end to everything, and there will be an end to everything.

A crescent moon gradually rose into the indigo night sky, and the vast Gobi Desert was quiet, and the tired soldiers had already fallen asleep in their tents, and the night watchers were quite sleepy and took a nap from time to time.

Yan Qi woke up, grabbed the bow and arrow by his body and turned over the bed, Xiao Chen also got up, held the whip in one hand and the bow in the other, opened the curtain and looked out - on the sand dunes under the string moon, countless figures appeared like ghosts, holding weapons and looking down at the camp of the grain army!

"Xiao Jiu, Xiao Si, get up and go into the cabinet. Yan Qi called in a low voice, and then turned to Xiao Chen, "If there is chaos, Xiao Si will still leave it to you, and if you are separated, you will see you in the Eagle Bureau in the Wind Slaughter City." ”

There is only one eagle bureau in each city, and the convergence there will inevitably be no divergence.

Before Xiao Chen could respond, the situation outside had suddenly changed - the figures on those sand dunes suddenly swooped down towards the grain army down the slope like eagles and falcons!

"Enemy attack—there is an enemy attack—" the sentry let out a high-pitched and shrill cry, and the horn in his hand blew shortly afterward, and the whole camp was thrown into chaos, the neighing of horses and oxen, and the clash of gold and iron mingling with the shouts of the soldiers.

"Wuzhi, catch the car, go!" Yan Qi took out a vajra umbrella from the dark compartment under the floor, which was also specially brought on the road just in case, opened the car door and handed it to Wuzhi for him to use for self-defense, and then he and Xiao Chen closed the outermost iron windows on both sides, only revealing a small crack to observe the situation outside, Young Master Yan Jiu and Cui Xi had already staggered into the cabinet, the cabinet doors of the new version of the Xiaolu were made of iron sheets, and there were latches inside, which were difficult to open from the outside, just to prevent someone from breaking into the car and destroying the cabinet with knives or arrows when hiding in the cabinet.

The group came too quickly, and in the blink of an eye they rushed from the dunes into the camp of the grain army, and the clanging of weapons resounded in the night sky, and the two groups of men immediately fought each other.

Wuzhi drove the horse and rushed to the periphery regardless of it, Yan Qi and Xiao Chen held the car window left and right, always paying attention to the situation around the Xiaolu, and just rushed out less than a hundred steps, they saw a group of people suddenly turn out from behind the sand dunes in front, all riding horses, looking at the outfits were exactly the same as the group of people in Fangcai, all dressed as civilians, only their faces were covered with scarves.

"Flee before fighting, this car must not be a good bird, take it!" The tone of the leader was mocking, and when the words fell, the group of people behind him were already waving their weapons and horses and rushing towards the car.

Wuzhi turned around and fled to the side, but with such a huge body, how could he outrun the light horse of one person and one horse of the other party, and it would not take long for him to be overtaken, Wuzhi turned around again, relying on the weight of the body of the car and rampage under the other party's bag, although the other party could not stop the fawn for a while, but did not have the intention of killing the horses and mules pulling the cart, but patiently and slowly pasted on, until two or three jumped up from the horse, and jumped over the bridge of the five branches.

"Whoosh-" Yan Qi's arrows flew out through the crack in the window, and each arrow directly pierced a person's calf, so that although the other party couldn't take his life, he could no longer move neatly, and fell to the ground with a few muffled snorts.

"Boss, there's an archer in the car!" the other party couldn't help but shout when he saw this.

"The clouds cover the moon, walk the dragon and snake!" the man at the head ordered, sounding like a cut in the underworld.

Wuzhi didn't care about any incisions at this time, the carriage turned around again, and rushed towards the direction of the other party's few people, but unexpectedly, a cloud of smoke suddenly appeared in front of him, and in an instant, the front and the surroundings were shrouded in chaos, and he couldn't see anything clearly five steps away!

The most affected are Yan Qi and Xiao Chen, Yan Qi's eyes are no matter how beasts they are, and it is impossible to see the smoke as nothing, the protective effect of the bow and arrow was completely limited for a while, and he could only wait for the carriage to rush out of this smoke area, but unexpectedly, the carriage had not run a few steps in the smoke, and suddenly there was a long hiss, and there was a "not good!" The fawn suddenly lost its balance, and after a violent shake, the body suddenly fell to the side!

The direction in which the body turned was the side where Yan Qi was, and at the moment when the car body had just tilted, Xiao Chen had already quickly turned around and rushed over to take Yan Qi around, and when the car body fell to the ground, others were already under Yan Qi's body.

"Are you alright?" Yan Qi got up and asked him.

"It's okay, I'm lucky. Xiao Chen said.

Yan Qi didn't say much polite to him, and turned around to pat the cabinet door: "Xiao Jiu, Xiao Si, how is it?"

"I'm okay......" Young Master Yan Jiu's voice came from inside, "He knocked him unconscious." ”

"Open the door. "Yan Qidao.

Young Master Yan Jiu opened the door as he said, Yan Qi and Xiao Chen pulled him out first, and then carefully got Cui Xi outside, flat under the car, Yan Qi first checked him for external injuries, and then rubbed his chest, "Wait a minute, you take Cui Xi, try to grab a horse," Yan Qi and Xiao Chen said, "Then run if you can, don't worry about us, and according to what we just agreed, see you in the wind slaughter city." ”

Xiao Chen nodded silently, and was just about to say, "Be careful," when he heard someone outside the car shouting: "People inside, put down your weapons and come out! Grandpa wants things and no people, honestly spare your dog's life! If you don't be honest, I will send you directly to the king of Hades! Quickly! Come out!"

Yan Qi and Xiao Chen glanced at each other, "Lu Yin and the silver ticket are close to you, and it doesn't hurt to give them the rest." ”

"Is it accurate?" said Young Master Yan Jiu, "Maybe he wants to trick us out and kill us again." These people are clearly prepared, and they will not be unclear about the crime of stealing military rations, so won't it be a trouble to keep us?"

"Then this way," Yan Qi said, "I want to attract their attention, Xiao Chen, you still take Cui Xi to find a chance to leave, Xiao Jiu, follow me." ”

After explaining, he helped Xiao Chen carry Cui Xi, who had gradually regained consciousness, to his back, Yan Qi held the bow and took the lead in pushing open the carriage door and went out, but saw that there was still smoke left outside, and the fighting in the distance was still continuing, and the group of people nearby had surrounded the carriage, and several horses and mules of the Xiaolu were struggling to climb up from the ground—they were actually tripped by the tripping rope! Wuzhi was held to his neck by two people with knives, and he couldn't move.

"Put down the weapon!" The other party saw Yan Qi holding a bow and arrow in his hand, and someone immediately shouted.

"If you want property, you can take all the things," Yan Qi was unmoved, and only said to the leader of the other party who was standing not far away, "We will not resist, but we will not lay down our weapons either, because we also have to protect ourselves." Now, let go of our people. ”

The leader's gaze swept over Yan Qi's face, and he suddenly snorted: "A few dolls with fine skin and tender flesh in the grain army must be the children of high-ranking officials, which saves Lao Tzu a lot of things-little girl, let's discuss, a few of you are hostages last time, let us take the grain and leave, I promise to let you be unscathed, how about it?" saw through Yan Qi's female disguise at a glance.

It's just that the first time I saw that I had someone else as a hostage, I still had to discuss.

"The grain is the food of the border pass army," Young Master Yan Jiu, who had been blocked by Yan Qi, suddenly walked out in a wrong step, and looked at the leader coldly, "If you take it, the border pass army will starve to death." "The point is that he and Yan Qi's father is going to starve to death, how can this group of people succeed!

The leader raised his eyebrows and actually laughed: "A teenage doll still knows how to worry about the country and the army-it's just that our brothers have been without food and rice for several days, and if they don't eat, I'm afraid that they will tear each other's flesh to eat, so we have to grab this military ration." Are you really not willing to help with this?"

"How can I fight with bandits? Young Master Yan Jiu said lightly.

"Boss, this kid scolds us for being animals!" someone on the other side understood and couldn't help shouting.

"Then we'll do some of our business," the chief laughed, "take it, brothers!"

Before his subordinates could drink, they saw a black light flashing in the moonlight, and Yan Qi's arrow had already hit the leader's face, and the tip of the arrow grazed his cheek, directly wearing and tearing the masked towel on his face.

"Whoever dares to move, the next arrow will go through his throat. Yan Qi lunged and stood away, and the arrow was on the string.

A group of people on the other side were taken by surprise by this arrow that they didn't have time to see how it was shot, and no one reacted for a while, but their leader didn't even blink his eyes, he raised his chin slightly with his eyelids and looked at Yan Qi with interest, and raised the corners of his mouth for a while, and said: "The archery is good, give you a chance, if the next arrow can hit me, I will let a few of you leave, if you can't shoot...... How about you being my wife?" 166 Reading Network
