It was the middle of winter, the swan feather snow outside the Yumen Pass, fluttering and sprinkling from the far-reaching canopy of the sky, as if endless, from time to time there was a wild wind from the side of the mountain beam, the snow wrapped into the neckline of pedestrians, these pedestrians could not help but shiver.

A group of horses of different colors, long since lost their original unruliness, walked unhurriedly in the wilderness of the snow dance, and one of the leaders sitting on it was a thousand general manager of the Liaoxi town guard envoy, named Hou Jing, because it was a thousand president, they all called him Hou Zong.

In front of the horse team were hundreds of people in shackles, who were assigned to garrisons, mostly domestic slaves of high-ranking officials in the capital, but behind the horse team were all women, young and old, with different postures, and then soldiers on bicycles

The incident of the Guogong Mansion's collaboration with the enemy that was exposed this time implicated 26 officials of all sizes in the capital, and the government and the opposition were shaken. The biggest one is naturally the first-class national prince Hu Qianshui, who has been an important minister in the court for two generations, but he didn't want to be dragged into the water by Wu Sanmu.

Hu Qianshui's in-laws, Shangshu An Luming, did not escape the doom of being removed from his post and investigated, but he was not as lucky as Hu Qianshui and was imprisoned in prison.

Implicated in this, An Tianhua, the prefect of Ningdu, was also removed from his post for investigation, and his fiancée Long Qiuyan was targeted by Dongchang eagle dogs on the way back to Zhongdu from Ningdu, and was soon imprisoned and taken to the northwest with other female dependents.

The family members of these high-ranking officials who were used as official slaves, some unmarried and somewhat beautiful ones would be used as concubines by various officers guarding the border gates, and most of the female dependents who were not selected were used as dolls of these officers and soldiers, called official prostitutes.

"Hurry up and keep up, and rush to the Shuoxi Post Station in front before dark", Mr. Qian shouted in the mirror.

Hou Jing was responsible for escorting this journey of more than 800 miles, a total of three post stations, the Shuoxi Post Station in front is the end of his mission, to Shuoxi Post Station, there will be another troops to take over their task, and he can lead the troops back safely.

This Hou Jing is a native of the Northern Han Dynasty of Jibei, 26 years old, after becoming a soldier, diligent and dedicated, step by step, from the foreign commission, to Xiaoqi Wei, Deputy Wei, the general manager, until the current thousand general, from the six military positions. Although the official is not big, it is smooth.

Because he has been on the border of the army, Hou Jing has not been able to get married. Naturally, I was overjoyed to receive such a task this time. Generally speaking, the life and death of the family members of these high-ranking officials who were used as official slaves were not taken seriously by the superiors, and it was not uncommon for them to commit suicide or die of starvation in shame, and it was even more common for the number of people to decrease.

Therefore, this Hou Jing selected six high-quality eunuch women early, and secretly hid them in a small town called Huoli outside the Yumen City in front of them, and was guarded by his four personal soldiers.

"When I arrive in Shuoxi, after the task is delivered, let the deputy Chen lead the team back, and I can hug my beautiful wife and concubine in the camel", thinking of this, Hou Jing's grim eyes showed a satisfied smile, especially when he thought of the beautiful appearance, resentful and disgusting gaze, and convex and concave figure of the eldest lady of the Tiger Mansion, Hou Jing's heart couldn't help but throb.

Suddenly, a burst of yellow sand rose from behind a sand dune on the side of the road, accompanied by a white snow.

"It's not good, I've met the robbers, let's the guys", Hou Jing exclaimed in surprise, and quickly stabilized the formation.

Groups of officers and men quickly flashed their long knives and raised their bows and arrows to aim.

At the end of the field of vision, thousands of black-clad people suddenly appeared on the sand dunes.

They rode on snowy horses, all white horses, armed with long knives, and the light of the blades shone with a cold light under the fire of the snow.

"Leave the ladies behind, you can go, or the chickens and dogs will not stay", a cold voice came from the dunes along the snowflakes.

Hou Jing hesitated for a moment, looked back at his subordinates, and their eyes met, naturally asking, to fight or not to fight?

At a critical juncture, Hou Jing weighed and fought, he was also a thousand soldiers, and if he held on to the other party, it was estimated that both sides would lose. If you don't fight, you won't be able to complete your task, and military law is just as ruthless.

Seeing that the other party did not have an archer, Na Hou Jing suddenly had a bold idea, without waiting for the other party to get closer, he shot a part first, and the hope of victory was still superior.

"What are you going to do, let's still discuss", Hou Jing shouted loudly, but glanced at the deputy behind him with his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Bow and arrow ready."

"Can we discuss, you can leave some of these female dependents, and we can take some away, otherwise how can we deal with it", the waiting mirror raised his voice again, deliberately delaying time.

"It's okay for you to keep some, but the remaining part will be replenished by the male slave," the other man's voice drifted from the snow, his tone of disdain.

It was a mile away from the top of the sand dunes, and although it was difficult to see the other party's face, it was enough to feel the contempt of the other party.

His own 300 strong archers, such a close distance is enough to kill the other party, Hou Jing calculated.

Seeing that the archers were ready to be in place, Hou Jing suddenly said to the deputy behind him, "Shoot."

The horse team suddenly got out of the way, and the archers, who hid behind them, suddenly struck.

The sound of "chirping ......" pierced through the snow, and locust-like arrows were scattered towards each other.

"Ouch Ouch ....." , the sound of the local black-clothed soldiers falling to the ground, and the neighing of war horses resounded all over the world for a while.

"You are cheating", the other party's roaring voice came: "Kill a piece of armor and leave no armor behind."

The white horse and the black figure suddenly fell over.

After a rain of arrows, the combat effectiveness of the place was not greatly impacted, and when he saw the figure that fell to the ground, it was estimated that he had shot a third of the enemy, and he had the advantage of numbers, Hou Jing calculated.

100 zhang, 50 zhang, at this distance, some people in black fell off the horse to ......

Hand-to-hand combat, in a moment when there is no room for action, suddenly erupts.

About 600 black-clothed people rushed into the battle formation, like a black torrent, rushing over at once, and the shouts of "kill" and killing were everywhere.

The waiting mirror stopped a man in black, rushing left and right, blocking, returning to the horse, in one breath, rushing and killing, another round, rushing and killing, and the third round.

The two of them fell off the horse at once, and at the moment when the other person's eyes were looking backwards, Hou Jing slashed the other party's left chest, bright red blood and white snow flashed in front of his eyes, and the other party fell to the ground.

Look behind him, the shouting and killing are still there, but the advantage of his own side is long gone, the ghosts cry and wolf howl are all their own soldiers, blood, snow, and yellow sand, forming a different scene in this wilderness.

When Hou Jing fought with the black-clothed swordsman, he obviously felt the strong strength of the other party, and he had already expected the final battle situation, in terms of martial arts, he belonged to the best few people in his own camp, but he was unable to kill an ordinary swordsman on the other side, which shows how terrible the opponent's overall combat power is.

Hou Jing quietly came to the male slave's team, opened the shackles of the two people, "Open them all and escape." Hou Jing also knows very well that the domestic slaves of these high-ranking officials do not have many heinous crimes, but their masters have fallen, and they will have to bear the consequences of being exiled or even killed, perhaps they also have beautiful wives and beautiful children, and parents need them to support.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, suddenly a thin and petite male slave shouted to Hou Jing: "Adults open it for me, I want to protect my mother", and there was a slight childlike voice in that weak voice.

Hou Jing once again opened the shackles for this male slave, and inadvertently touched the other party's chest, a soft place, looking at the soldier's delicate face, the milk voice, "You are a woman", Hou Jing asked with a little surprise.
