The bonfire in front of you, the fire shines brightly.

The night was cold, Zheng Sui sat in front of the bonfire with his knees crossed, his expression frozen, his eyes staring at the flames that kept going up.

After a long time, Cai Ling on the side reached out and hugged Zheng Sui's shoulder, and said softly: "I haven't slept for a day and a night, the little lady leans on the slave's arms and sleeps." As he spoke, he reached out to hug Zheng Sui.

Leaning on Cai Ling's arms, the nose is sweat stains mixed with the smell of dust, and there is no longer any trace of freshness and cleanliness in the past, and Zheng Sui has liked the taste of Su Hexiang since he was a child, and the nursing mother and concubine always have a faint smell of Su Hexiang. Zheng Sui's eyes couldn't help but widen, but there was no one else in front of him except Uncle An and Cai Ling.

There was a pile of dry wood beside the campfire, which Ansuer went to collect at night, and from time to time there was the howling of wild beasts in the dense forest, and Ansuo kept adding some dry wood to make the bonfire burn more vigorously.

Suddenly, there was a great movement of birds and beasts flying all around, and Ansuo held a thick branch in his hand, and although he was still squatting there without moving, the whole person was on alert, and both ears were completely erected. Cai Ling on the opposite side was full of panic, completely frightened, holding Zheng Sui's hands, unconsciously tightened a lot, and freed up another hand to turn Zheng Sui's head into her arms, but at this moment, Zheng Sui reached out and pushed her hand away, looking up at the surrounding forest.

Through the dense forest, there are dots of fire in the distance, about the distance away, can only be seen faintly, if you don't pay attention, it is difficult to notice, Zheng Sui stared in that direction, grabbed the hand of Cai Ling's arm, the strength suddenly became a lot bigger, Cai Ling gasped rapidly, close to him, Zheng Sui didn't pay attention, at this moment, all her attention stayed on the black shadow that was getting closer and closer.

Immediately afterwards, Cai Ling seemed to notice it, and the moment he looked up, the moment Ansuo waved the branch, there was a sudden fire around him, and there was a burst of shouting, "Don't move, don't move." ”

The branch that Ansuo was holding in his hand fell to the ground, looked at the twenty or so sergeants gathered around, looked at their uniforms, and suddenly said, "You are officers and soldiers. When he said this, his voice trembled, and there was a strong suppressed excitement.

The only one who can make Ansuo mouth call officers and soldiers is the army of Southern Chu.

After being reminded by An Suo, Zheng Sui also noticed that the armor and clothing on these people were exactly the same as those sergeants worn when he met Huan Yu that day, and he became more and more sure in his heart, "I recognize that Huan Yu's army all wear surrender shirts. ”

Southern Chu warriors and soldiers mostly wore discolored clothes.

It's just that as soon as Zheng Sui's voice fell, he was reprimanded, "Shut up." ”

Immediately afterwards, a halberd pointed to the side of Zheng Sui's neck, "The name of our young general is also what your girl can call."

Seeing this scene, An Sue on the side hurriedly shouted no, and wanted to come over to protect Zheng Sui, but let the two soldiers detain him, unable to move half of the part, An Suo had to be busy saying: "Officers and soldiers, don't misunderstand, the old slave has a customs clearance document, and please submit it to Major General Huan." ”

Zheng Sui couldn't help but shudder, although Cai Ling beside him was already trembling, but the hand holding her was getting tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to protect her in his arms, Zheng Sui looked up at the halberd in front of him, extremely sharp, under the reflection of the firelight, shiny and dazzling, for a while, I only felt as if something coincided.

A black-faced soldier closest to the campfire, who was about the leader of the group, said to the man holding Ansu, "Open his baggage and see." ”

Hearing this, An Su couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Don't bother the officers and soldiers, let go of the old slave, and the old slave will be given to you." ”

It's just that none of these soldiers paid attention to An Suo's words, and the soldiers next to him stepped forward half a step forward and grabbed the burden that An Sue was carrying on his shoulder, quickly opened it, rummaged through it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, holding the burden, and walked to the black-faced soldier with joy, "Shi Chang, look at it, we have earned it this time." ”

The black-faced soldier looked down and saw that it was full of yellow gold leaves, and when he reached out and grabbed it, he couldn't catch a handful, and couldn't help but look up at An Suo, but An Suo's eager expression had recovered and calmed down, and his voice was much calmer, "Please also take a look at the few customs clearance documents inside." ”

"What's so good, these are Hu Yan's customs clearance documents, and they are not our Dachu customs clearance documents, although you are Han, but you are serving Hu Yan's puppet dynasty, don't you have a little shame, of course, if you want to go back to Dachu, our Major General Huan is also happy to take you back to the south." The black-faced elder swept his gaze to the stack of papers in the baggage, very unconcerned, and even a little chuckled.

"The people's thinking of Han, like a long drought and looking forward to Ganlin, but after the clothes moved south to the left of the river, for more than 100 years, the officers and soldiers have not come north, I don't know the day of the sinking of Shenzhou, and where are the people of Zhongzhou, and now how to talk about shame, how to talk about Hu Han. This sentence was said three years ago, when the eldest brother went to Pingcheng and talked about the general trend of the world with Cousin Shilin, because the eldest brother was more angry at that time, he was loud and scared, but it also made him remember this sentence.

When Zheng Sui listened to the black-faced chief's ridicule just now, he couldn't help but say it.

In an instant, the black-faced Shi Chang suddenly changed color, and the face of An Sue on the side also changed suddenly, and he suddenly exclaimed the little lady, only to see a halberd slashed from the side of Zheng Sui's neck, accompanied by a powerful sonorous sound, but it was the black-faced Shi Chang, with quick eyes and hands, who could use a long knife to block the halberd pointing at Zheng Sui's neck, if not, the long halberd on the handle, when Zheng Sui didn't pay attention, it would penetrate her neck.

Zheng Sui realized it later, and only then did he become a little afraid.

However, when he stared at the black-faced Shi Chang's gloomy eyes, he didn't dodge.

But for a moment, it felt like a long time. In the end, the black-faced chief looked at Zheng Sui, and then ordered the soldier who pointed at Zheng Sui with a halberd to retreat, but then turned his head, reached out and picked up the customs clearance documents in the baggage, and handed them to the soldier next to him who looked weaker, "You know how to read, see what is written?"

The thin-faced soldier obviously had read some books, and somehow he became a little soldier in the army, took the paperwork, opened it quickly, and only glanced at it, but his face changed greatly, and he was shocked: "You are from the Zheng family in Xingyang." ”

"What, Xingyang Zheng's family?" The black-faced chief was also startled, and hurriedly leaned over, but unfortunately, he didn't know a word, so he had to hurriedly grab the placket of the thin-faced soldier, and his strength was so great that it seemed to be about to lift the soldier up.

"Yes, yes, that's what it says on this customs clearance paperwork. The weak soldier also pointed to the words on it, but unfortunately the soldiers who gathered around to see it were illiterate.

The black-faced Shi Chang still didn't give up, looked at Zheng Sui and said: "I ran into your convoy a few days ago, there are obviously more than 500 people, why are there only three of you left, what kind of method can you come up with to prove that you are from the Zheng family in Xingyang?"

As if he saw hope, Ansu hurriedly said: "The old slave followed my Xiaolang to meet General Huan, and the chief only needs to take the old slave to see General Huan." ”

"No, I can't take you to see the major general just by relying on this paper document, besides, the major general is not so easy to see, and I can't get close to the big tent of the Chinese army in the army. ”

Hearing this, Ansuo was in trouble for a while, and at that time, he escaped and kept simple, except for a few dry food and gold leaves, and a few customs clearance documents, nothing else had time to be packed.

After hesitating and making trouble, he looked at Zheng Sui and stretched out his hand to take off a piece of mutton fat jade from his neck, looked at the black-faced Shi Chang and said, "This should be okay, there is the Zheng family's family emblem on it." ”
