After walking like this for another day, I saw that Hanyu Pass was in front of me. At this time, Mrs. Lu contracted the wind and cold, delaying the trip for half a day, and when the sky was about to darken, Xiaoyu and Fang Zhun did not find a place to stay, so they had to go back in a huff.

Seeing his family's convoy from afar, Xiaoyu thought that she was only afraid of sleeping in the field tonight, and couldn't help worrying about Mrs. Lu and her second sister-in-law, so she shook the reins a few times and grabbed the horse's belly and rushed towards the convoy. The people in the team are also used to it, and they are not surprised. Unexpectedly, from the half-human-high grass next to him, a man in armor suddenly staggered out, standing straight in front of the group, opening his mouth wide as if to shout. The light rain was too late to rein in the horse, and after two or three more steps, the horse's hooves were about to kick the man's back in the heart.

The second brother was shocked and hurriedly hit the horse to meet him, wanting to tear the man away. Fang Zhun saw it behind him, and he also desperately tapped the horse under his crotch a few times, and thought to himself: "If this is stepped on, I am afraid that this person's life will be gone." ”

The fifth brother and the starling were already stunned, as if their time had stopped, and they only saw three galloping horses rushing towards the man.

Xiaoyu held the reins tightly, her eyes widened, and Jueying had only been with her for two years. Xiaoyu treats it as a friend, often playing together, and one person and one horse are really inseparable except for sleeping and eating. Xiaoyu was so nervous, the absolute shadow seemed to be in touch with her, and the muscles on her back were also tense. Xiao Yufu lowered her body and leaned close to the horse's back, only shaking the reins slightly. Jueying seemed to have been waiting, and his hind legs kicked hard, and Fang Zhun looked at the horse's ass from behind, almost sitting on the ground. Immediately, he jumped up and flew as if he had wings.

The man heard the wind above him, and then he realized that there was a fast horse behind him, and he fell to his knees in horror. The second brother watched the light rain rise into the air like a leaf in the wind, and he was so shocked that his heart jumped out of his mouth, for fear that she would not be able to grasp it firmly and fall off the horse.

Xiaoyu heard the sound of the wind whirring in his ears, and the whole person was fluttering, so frightened that he clutched the saddle with one hand and grabbed the horse's mane with the other. The front legs of the Absolute Shadow fell to the ground with unabated momentum, and then the hind legs fell to the ground next to the front legs, and the horse's back couldn't help but arch high, and the horse's ass was about to rub the man's head. Xiaoyu's body also rushed forward, and hurriedly took advantage of the situation to hug Jueying's neck. In this way, he rushed forward a few steps in a row, and staggered past the second brother's horse. The speed gradually slowed down. As if he knew Xiaoyu's intentions, he turned around and trotted towards the man.

Fang Zhun also forgot to fight the horse at this time, and only looked at Xiaoyu blankly. The three tall horses all circled around the man, but Xiaoyu was the first to jump off the horse and looked at the man anxiously: "Didn't touch you?"

When I sat on the horse, I didn't feel it, but when I stepped on the ground, I felt that my hands and feet were soft and I almost collapsed on the ground. Fortunately, Jueying took another step forward and pushed Xiaoyu up with his head. Xiaoyu turned around and patted the shadow, bent down to look at its front legs, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that both legs were fine.

The second brother ignored the man, sat on the horse and frowned, looking around. Fang Zhun just breathed a sigh of relief, quickly came back to his senses, took out his spear, and also looked into the grass and bushes on both sides.

Yang Baochen originally held the reins to work hard for Xiaoyu, but when he saw that she was safe, he immediately woke up, and hurriedly took the Pu knife and rushed into the grass that the man ran out of, Wang Hu and Zhao Wu glanced at the second brother, and then went in together. After a long time, Zhao Wu rode out of the grass and whispered to the second brother: "I guess it's two scouts, and the one inside has already lost his breath." Glancing at Xiaoyu, he muttered in a low voice: "The Heavenly Spirit Cover has been smashed." ”

Seeing that the man was kneeling on the ground and never spoke, Xiaoyu secretly shouted in her heart: "Oops." Don't be out of gas. ”

A pair of dark eyes rolled a few times, and then looked at the man and said loudly: "You don't take a good road, rush to the middle, you yourself are not afraid of death and don't drag others down!"

After shouting for a long time, the person didn't answer, and the second brother was busy giving Yang Baochen and Fang Zhun a look. Only then did he call Xiaoyu aside, and Xiaoyu kept shouting: "The Absolute Shadow didn't touch you, don't pretend anymore." ”

The second brother looked up at Fang Zhun and saw that he shook his head and said softly: "I was hit in the back, there were several knife wounds, and the blood was drained." It's none of our business, the lamp is running out.

Although Xiao Yu guessed that he was probably dead, he was still surprised to hear it from Fang Zhun at this time. The second brother touched Xiaoyu's head and whispered, "I heard what should have been heard, if they still refuse to give up, it's a big deal." When the time comes, you will follow Chen Peng to protect your second sister-in-law and Rushan and Rulan, if Yang Baochen follows you, you have to be careful. ”

Xiaoyu pursed her mouth aggrievedly, as if she was about to cry, but finally held back. She thought to herself, she did everything she could, and if the person chasing him still thought she heard something, there was nothing she could do. Yang Baochen dug a pit on the side of the road and buried the two.

At this time, Fang Zhun called softly: "Second brother!", and raised his chin to the front again.

The second brother followed his gaze and saw that it was the narrow-faced man, standing in the middle of the road watching them. The second brother looked at him for a moment, and saw that he was still wearing the coarse cloth clothes that ordinary peasants wear, and had leggings, and looked at them with a murderous look on his face. Xiaoyu pulled the sleeve of the second brother and looked over, thinking in his heart: "I didn't want to provoke him in the past, but now he has come to the door, if I show weakness again, he is afraid that he will have to make a move." Thinking like this, Xiaoyu loosened the second brother's clothes and slowly took two steps forward, as if to see who that person was.

The second brother hurriedly followed, and as soon as Yang Baochen helped a few brothers drag the scout to the side of the road to bury him, he heard Fang Zhun call the second brother, and couldn't help but look back. Seeing that the second brother and Xiaoyu stepped forward to meet the narrow-faced man, they hurriedly carried their own Pu knife and stood to Xiaoyu's left.

Xiaoyu saw that there were people protecting him on the left and right, and his heart was relieved, and he silently recited it several times in his heart: "Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Gradually, the courage in his heart triumphed, and the eyes that looked at the narrow-faced man slowly revealed a little disdain. Seeing that he didn't move, Xiaoyu held his chin with one hand and his arm with the other, thinking that at this distance, if he attacked his own mechanism, he might not be able to reach it. Then he took two more steps forward, looked at the man, and said loudly, "There is an open field only two or three miles ahead, which is suitable for the night's sleep." ”

The man's expression was relieved: "It is indeed a good place." It's a pity that I still have something. With that, he sneered and dodged into the grass beside him.

Xiaoyu saw that the grass in the distance was no longer moving, so she slowly turned her head and whispered to the second brother: "After he finishes taking care of his own affairs, I'm afraid he will come to take care of us." Do you want to take advantage of him and chase after him, huh?"

The second brother shook his head: "He must have companions, the fork in the road we passed by just now, the other one is to Hanyu Pass." The scout may have fled from there. ”

At this time, Sun Haoran, Tang Luanyi and Xu Liangqi all came over to get ideas.

Xiaoyu pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I remember that there is a forest at the fork in the road, which is not too big or too small to hide. ”

Tang Luanyi nodded secretly, thinking: "I Guan Guang thought about how to fight with them, why didn't I expect that they would never guess that we would go back, but would only chase forward." If it were daylight, so many of us would not necessarily be afraid of them. If you are in a hurry during the day tomorrow, you will be able to enter Chase City before dark. He immediately agreed to go back.

The fifth brother immediately understood: "The second brother and Brother Fang will go over and take a look, if they win, they will definitely go forward to pursue us tomorrow." We just walked on the way to Hanyu Pass, even if Xue Yu wasn't there, he could always find a way to send a small team of people to escort us over. ”

Xu Liangqi's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he said in his heart: "This Xia girl is a good plan with two thousand catties." If that group loses, we naturally have nothing to worry about and just move forward. ”

Everyone hurriedly turned around and rushed to the woods, the second brother commanded everyone to surround the car in an arc, Mrs. Lu and other female dependents were crowded in the middle of the car, and several brothers hid behind the loaded car. Xiaoyu also got into the car and took his bow and sword on his back, folded the white edge on his sleeve into it, and didn't need the help of his brothers, so he picked a big tree with dense branches and climbed it three times and two times. Seeing that the arrangements were in place, the second brother went over with Fang Zhun to explore the other party's situation.

Yang Baochen watched with envy as the second brother and Fang Zhun rode away, but Xiaoyu asked him to protect his female dependents below, and he didn't even let him go up the tree. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he kept looking at the tree. Suddenly, I saw one of Xiaoyu's shoes exposed, and I was busy whispering under the tree, "Master, Master, your shoes are exposed." Before the words fell, Xiaoyu's feet retracted and scolded: "Don't talk, everyone, when the second brother comes back and says it's okay to speak, everyone can speak." ”

After waiting for a while, seeing that everyone was silent and silent, Xiaoyu secretly climbed from one tree to another and slipped down from behind the tree. He took out the black cloth he had prepared in advance, wrapped his hair, and covered his face again, revealing only his eyes. Only then did they chase in the direction where the second brother and they disappeared, and after running for a while and seeing that there was no one around, he made a whistle to call out the shadow.

At both ends of this fork in the road, there is more grass on the side of the light rain and more trees on the road to Hanyuguan. Xiaoyu chased after him for a while, and saw the second brother and Fang Zhun's horse in the woods, so he hurriedly abandoned the shadow and went into the woods. I saw that the trees here were dense, and the branches and leaves were connected. Originally, the night was thick, but now the moonlight was blocked by branches and leaves, and the woods were even darker.

At the beginning, he walked quickly, but after walking for a short time, he heard the sound of fighting not far away, and he could see the second brother and Fang Zhun hiding in front of him and moving forward. Xiaoyu didn't dare to make a mistake, secretly thinking that she was only afraid that the ambush person was also on the tree, but fortunately, she was young and light, and she barely managed to make up a distance, and she could see that there were some people hidden in several big trees not far in front of her, so she stopped, picked up a straight and towering pine tree and climbed to the top of the tree.

Xiaoyu hugged the tip of the tree and looked down, only to see a lot of carriages parked in the middle of the road, and a person who looked like a deputy general was shuttling back and forth in the workshop. Commanding his soldiers to extinguish the fire, the sneak attacker kept firing rockets and burning the carts escorting grain and grass. It's just that those soldiers are well-trained and not flustered, one covers his companions, and the other puts out fires, and they do it extremely skillfully.

Someone in the woods suddenly said a few words loudly, Xiaoyu didn't understand what it was, and thought secretly: "Maybe this is Xidu's words, these people are probably warriors sent by Xidu to burn grain and grass." ”
