There is a hook of sparse moon hanging in the sky, and the dry willow swaying in the wind, swaying thousands of black shadows.

Shen Huan was the only one left in the wilderness, like a lonely soul without an owner. Slowly walked to the waist-thick willow tree, leaned against the trunk for a while, and then slid down inch by inch.

The wind blows on the face in late autumn, and it hurts astringently. There was a grain of sand in her eyes, and she reached out to touch it, and her fingertips were instantly stained with a layer of mist.

How long has it been since you cried? She herself is a bit vague. The last time I heard that my father was killed, because I had been prepared, and my hatred was stronger than my longing, I just shed countless tears.

Then let's cry happily. Crying in the wind and chanting to the moon are all for the pain and hurt in life. She has lost her love forever, and she should pay a vigorous tribute.

She is a woman, and women should have the right to vent their feelings like this. What's more, she never hides her thoughts and **. I want to ride the fastest horse, I want to learn the most domineering martial arts, and I want to live a happy and arrogant life.

Then after tonight, she will be able to be an independent Shen Huan again, alone, without any worries.

But the tears that filled his cheeks tonight were for a person who was not strong. Gentle and tranquil as a spring breeze, slowly blowing, moisturizing things silently, will make her infinitely nostalgic in the quiet night when the spring grass germinates in the future.

After the pain, life has to go on as usual.

Yang Ke's words echoed in his ears, and he didn't follow her aimlessly. What was said in the past is now completely out of the way to hesitate. She didn't have to weigh it carefully, and she knew that she wasn't suitable for mingling. In the end, she is the foundation of a rich and noble eunuch family, and she is incompatible with those martial arts people.

An unfashionable person, the rivers and lakes can't be integrated, and the temple can't go back. If you want to live a chic life and want to make a difference, defecting to the rebel army is a good way out.

Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan is pleasant, and Hanshui Luoshui is full of ups and downs. After the death of the Ming Dynasty, she will not hesitate to embark on her own journey to the west.

After washing up in the morning, Shen Huan ate a few bites of the blandly vegetable porridge in the small shop. Bai Yin has been applying yellow to the mirror for a long time, and when he came out, he had turned into a young man with a blue face. Thin eyebrows and fine eyes, it is a look that is forgotten when thrown in the pile of people, and it can't be remembered at all.

Shen Huan looked at her and nodded with a smile. She also tilted her neck to look at Shen Huan, and said without warning for a while, "Uncle, why are your eyelids swollen?" Did you not rest yesterday? ”

She couldn't help but secretly hate, why did this Nizi's observation power be so good, "I didn't have a dream all night, and I couldn't sleep better, it must be because I slept too much." ”

There was obvious doubt in Bai Yin's slender eyes, and he let out a long sigh, "I thought you cried, don't think of your fiancé, and feel reluctant." ”

There was still a slight sour in her heart, and she changed her tone to laugh, "You are quite interested in him, and you always talk about it when you have something to do." Catch Ming'er to take you back to the capital, sell you to his house as a girl, maybe he looks at your beautiful color, and he is happy to lift you up. ”

Bai Yin is not ashamed, because he knew when he was a child that the meaning of being a person like himself was to let a big family take him as a concubine. He smiled, "I don't dare, that's your man." If I kick my nose in the face, you won't kill me alive. ”

Youyou laughed for a while before asking, "We have to leave here today, do you want to go next?" ”

After breaking half of the Hu cake and throwing it to her, Shen Huan replied, "Go to Tongguan." ”

The boss with Bai Yin's small mouth open, "Tongguan? How far is that...... Say less, say less," he counted with his fingers for a while, and exclaimed, "There must be two thousand miles to go?" ”

"What's the matter, the master took you and rode with you, you still dislike the mountains and rivers far away?" Shen Huan raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Do you know how to ride a horse?" Why don't you do it yourself? Although you don't have a lot of meat, in the end there are also big living people, and I'm afraid that I won't have to tire the horse anymore. ”

Bai Yin pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't, I'm not afraid of your hard work." Then let's go all the way, hit the tip and live in the store, but we have to save money. I'm afraid it will take two months to walk, and it will be winter when we get there. He pulled a small piece of bread and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, "Anyway, how do you remember to go there, there are your relatives?" ”

Shen Huan smiled, pretending to be mysterious, "Sensei asked, when you get to the ground, you will naturally know." ”

It's really a long way to go. When I arrived at the gate of the Tongguan Acropolis, it was the middle of winter. In front of him is Xiongguan Mandao, and behind him is the west wind hunting. Bai Yin introduced Jiangnan jasper, but he knew how to appreciate the scenery of the north, "It's really interesting, the artistic conception of the top is also like a painting, but it's a little desolate." ”

Shen Huan smiled when he heard it, and looked back to tease her, "It's a pity that it has been occupied by thieves." "Raise the whip and point to the soldiers defending the city," In the eleventh year of Longqing, the rebel army of the seventy-two battalions of the eighteen villages met in Xiangyang, divided the troops by different routes, and took dozens of important towns in Ganxi. Now, three years later, the imperial court still has not been able to recover all the lost territory. This is still the territory of Gao Fengxiang, the king of Shuntian, and when I saw the flag waving in the wind on the city wall, the huge Shun character on it is proof. ”

She turned around, reversed the horsewhip, and gently picked up Bai Yin's sharp chin, "So, the place we are going to is the nest of the rebellion of the imperial court, and I am going to take you to be a thief." How's that, are you afraid? ”

Bai Yin was stunned, his face was confused, he reacted for a long time, and sighed, "Anti-thief ......"

Shen Huan smiled and said nothing, but she didn't expect her next sentence to clap her hands and make a joyful expression, "Okay, this is like words." I'll just say that you are such a capable person, you have traveled thousands of miles to this place, you must have something big to do, and you will never be so boring as just going to your relatives. It's no wonder that we didn't kill a corrupt official along the way, it turned out that we had a bigger plan in our hearts. Well, it's not, killing them one by one, it's troublesome and doesn't work. It's better to rebel and fight with the court with real swords and guns. Maybe if you win the world, you will be a great general and a great prime minister in the future. ”

"I'm a general?" Shen Huan smiled dumbly, "Throughout the ages, how many women have you seen who can be extremely human?" ”

"Why not, if Mulan doesn't take the initiative to resign, she must be able to make a marquis. Not to mention the ministers, women even do the emperor. Wu Zetian is unprecedented, but he may not necessarily have no one to come. ”

Shen Huan couldn't help but look at him with admiration, "I can't see it, people are petite, their ambitions are not small, and they are not afraid of being a rebellion against the court at all." But I'm going to be a general, what are you going to do? You can't always follow me before and after the saddle, just be a follower. ”

Bai Yin was stunned for a while, and sighed with some regret, "That's what I said, I don't know how to shoot arrows on horseback." After a pause, his eyes lit up suddenly, "But I can sew and mend, and I can also cook food." When marching and fighting, there is always a shortage of supplies from the rear. I'm such a talent, one person can be two people, both capable and cost-effective. ”

Shen Huan listened to it straightforwardly, and he really bragged about not paying taxes. Thinking about it, after getting along with each other for this month, she has indeed taken care of her daily life well. Along the way, there are many meticulous places that she can't think of, and she can take care of them one by one.

After a while, he finally gave a great affirmation, "You are also a careful and capable person, if you were born in a big family, I am afraid that you will be a gentle and virtuous daughter-in-law." ”

Bai Yin grinned and looked proud, "Of course, the so-called IKEA is talking about people like me." When it comes to virtue and virtue, I am a good hand who knows the taste of it. ”

No matter how good a person is, he can't help but boast in three sentences, Shen Huan didn't bother to look at her again, turned around, and snorted, "It's true, the dung fork tickles - serious is also a good hand." ”

After saying that, both of them laughed, and lay down on the back of the horse to calm their breath. Suddenly, there was a chaotic commotion behind him, some crying and shouting, some horses' hooves rushing suddenly, like a gust of wind howling, and like a sudden rainstorm, chaotic and terrifying.

The two of them hurriedly looked back, and in the distance, smoke and dust were billowing in the distance, and a team of officers and soldiers was driving a group of homeless people. Cutting and killing along the way, the horses came with the wind, shouting to kill the sky, and then mixed with the miserable screams, it sounded very poignant and terrifying.

Looking at it, Bai Yin couldn't stand it, and said hatefully, "These officials and soldiers are too lawless, and they dare to slaughter the common people in the blue sky and white days." ”

Shen Huan narrowed his eyes and sneered, "They feel that they are the king's law. Most of those people were fleeing victims, and they heard that Tongguan City took in hungry people and opened a warehouse for disaster relief, so they came over. ”

"Then, wasn't it killed by the officers and soldiers before they entered the city?" Bai Yin couldn't bear to look at it anymore, thinking that she had been a starving person herself, if it weren't for the fact that her parents couldn't support her, and she wouldn't have sold her to Ya Po for only five taels of silver.

Thinking of the sad place, he was even more angry, "Uncle, let's just look at it like this?" You go and take care of it, kill a few of his dog officers and soldiers, and then lead the victims to the city of Tongguan, and let the defenders of the city open the door and let them go. ”

Shen Huanzheng had this intention, smiled and bowed his head, and instructed her, "You get off the horse first, wait here, and I'll go back." ”

Bai Yin turned over neatly and said yes crisply. watched Shen Huan urge the horse forward and gallop towards the group of officers and soldiers.

At that time, the officers and soldiers chased the displaced people only twenty or thirty miles away from the city gate, and they did not dare to get too close in order to prevent the people in the city from attacking. The people in the city took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the city, and they did not dare to open the door rashly. So this cautious stalemate, suffering is a group of people who have fled and displaced.

Sure enough, when they got closer, the officers and soldiers stopped and stopped coming forward. This group of men and horses was waving the flag, and as soon as Shen Huan saw the word Geng on it, he knew that it was the soldiers and horses of Geng Tianyu, the governor of Ganzhou. There are only about 100 people on the left, and the battle can be called strong.

The officers and soldiers had also seen her earlier, and saw her riding alone, stabbing out of the stab, and knew that the person who came was not good. The two sides were ten meters apart, and only a few wind sounds were heard, and the mounts of the first few officers and soldiers suddenly hissed and fell to the ground with their legs. The men on the horse were caught off guard and fell off one after another, and when they looked closer, they saw that their horses had been blinded by something.

Under the wind and sand, the officers and soldiers brandished swords and guns to attack the enemy. Tumbling and jumping, horses and spears are long. It's a pity that he can't match a thin-waisted man who has no weapon in his hand, and I don't know what kind of hidden weapon he used, and he hit the horse's leg, horse's eye, and human eye one after another, although it didn't hurt his life, but forced people to roll off the horse. In a short time, there was a wailing on the empty sand, and blood and sand were splattered.

Shen Huan is not in love with war, and he has the posture of accepting it when he sees it. With a pull on the reins, he turned the horse's head and still ran towards the place where Bai Yin was standing under the city.

The outcasts were stumbling and screaming and banging on the gates. The magnificent Qiaolou gate slowly opened, Shen Huan slowly beat the horse, and many ragged homeless people poured into Tongguan City.

The soldiers guarding the city are responsible for checking and leading, and Shen Huan is quite eye-catching among them, but fortunately, she has already been seen by the people on the city tower with her actions.

The soldier inspected her guide and waved her way. Taking advantage of the crowds, she turned a corner into the alley, and wandered around in it, making sure that no one was following her, and then turned back to the main road.

"Uncle, you just had a very handsome hand. sassy and heroic, taking the rank of general among tens of millions of people, it's nothing more than that. ”

Bai Yin's sycophant temperament is about to attack from time to time, and Shen Huan is indifferent, as if he didn't hear it.

"But why didn't they stop us, just let a big hero run away, it's really eye-catching." After being upset, Bai Yin asked, "Uncle, where are we going next?" ”

Shen Huan said succinctly, "Go into the city and find a place to rest." ”

After cleaning up and eating, the two took a nap, and when they didn't wake up much, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the stairwell of the inn.

The so-called people with eyes and no beads still found the door in the end. The man was a burly man, and his armor was shiny. The official language is not very sharp, with a Guanzhong accent. The content of the words can't help but make people want to spray rice.

"This strong man ......"

There was a pop, but Bai Yin couldn't hold back. Hurriedly put down the teacup, because it shook so badly, the tea soup splashed out.

Shen Huan glanced at her for a while, she was very understanding, and turned her away from the surprised man, "This military master, which eye do you see that our uncle is a strong man?" Do you think this title is appropriate if you look closely? ”

The other party's voice is delicate and crisp, why does it sound a bit androgynous? The burly man wondered for a while.

Most of the rebel troops in Tongguan City were from bitter backgrounds. Shen Huan heard Yang Ke talk about it, and he could roughly guess it. These people may be good at marching and fighting, but their knowledge and conversation cannot be compared with the children of the official eunuchs. A strong man, but it is a little straightforward, and it also brings out such an idea of the local atmosphere.

The burly man really blushed, looked at Shen Huan's slender fingers resting on the teacup, and felt even more embarrassed, "It's that I didn't look carefully, but I don't mean anything else." This strong man is originally to describe a hero, or I will call you a hero, this is finally appropriate? ”

After speaking, looking directly at Bai Yin, I probably felt that this sharp-toothed little guy was even more difficult to deal with. The latter looked at the ground and did not intersect with his gaze at all.

Shen Huan smiled and arched his hand, "It's easy to say, the military master is too polite, in fact, it doesn't matter what you call it." I'm spoiled by me on weekdays, and I don't pay attention to what I say, so I invite Haihan. ”

The burly man nodded and returned the salute, "I took the liberty to come here because I heard about the righteous deeds of the heroes outside the city today, and I heard that people were happy in their hearts." In this way, I will report to my home first, so that the heroes can know. Presumably you also know that this Tongguan City is under the jurisdiction of King Shun. No, he is a lieutenant under the command of the Heavenly King, surnamed Jiang, with a single name and a Duo character. On weekdays, I like to dance with guns and sticks, and I always want to make friends with good martial arts friends, so I inquired about the whereabouts of the heroes and came to visit. ”

After a pause, he asked, "The good man's surname is great, can you tell me through the word?" ”

Shen Huan said with a smile, "My surname is Shen, and the words are pure." ”

"It turned out to be Brother Shen." Jiang Duo smiled warmly, "Listening to the accent, Brother Shen looks like a native of Beizhili Mansion?" When you come to Tongguan, is it to visit relatives and friends, or to stop here for a while? ”

"It's for visiting friends." Shen Huan deserves half-truths, "Captain Jiang has good ears, Shen is indeed from Cangzhou." ”

That is not to leave for a while, Jiang Duo was quite pleased, "This is very good, it seems that I still have the opportunity to ask Brother Shen about martial arts." I don't know if Brother Shen has found your friend, if you need my help, you can tell me bluntly, I will do my best to help......"

is a real person, a warm heart. Shen Huan smiled secretly, when she went out, she could always meet someone who was willing to help her.

Suddenly, Gu Cheng's appearance suddenly flashed in his mind. That was the first person in her life to help her, love her, and care for her. Because he has done it too extremely, because he has Zhuyu in front, it makes the words and deeds of the latecomers seem light and tasteless.

While thinking wildly, suddenly a voice came from outside the door, "Big brother, you haven't finished asking yet?" ”

The tone is cold, and there is a texture of cutting gold and jade in the tone. In the next moment, the door had been pushed open, and a man with a long figure in a black robe came into view.

It looks like he is only about twenty, and his bearing is cold, revealing an inaccessible arrogance. A face is more daunting, not because of its scary or ugly looks, but because it is too good-looking. The skin is snow-white and deeply contoured. As if he didn't want to raise his eyes to look at Shen Huan, he lowered his eyes slightly, his eyelashes were dense and long, lazily covering his eyelids, covering a touch of the leisurely situation of not being close to people.

With a cold face, he slowly walked in front of Shen Huan, and lifted the hem of his clothes, "Shen Ye is a martial artist, and he says that he is from Cangzhou, and he is capable of such means, why don't you go to Beijing to seek development?" He was willing to seek near and far, and came to Tongguan here. Don't you know that the head of our city has already changed the banner of the king? ”

"Or, do you know that the wind direction has changed every day, or do you just want to go to Tiger Mountain?"
