The sun is setting in the west, the birds are returning to the forest, and an ox cart on the official road is pulling a pile of hay and walking slowly and leisurely, and there are three people lying in the hay, and these three people are none other than Tiemu Yanyun and them.

"It's been a few days, why hasn't it arrived yet?"

"You'll have to ask this dude." Temu had a weed in his mouth and lay down on it.

"I don't know what happened to Mr.?" Qiao Laosi sighed.

"Sir must be fine." The new fish cat on one side replied in a faint voice.

"I'm not worried about his ......"

"Shh Ironwood made a sudden and quiet gesture, then slid down the haystack and pressed his ear to the ground, only to see the snowdrifts on the ground vibrating slightly. He climbed into the ox cart again, stood and looked into the distance, looked around, immediately jumped on the ox, grabbed the reins, changed the direction of the ox, and let the ox cart leave the official road and go down the side path.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Laosi asked.

"There's a march in the distance."

"Where's the people?"

"It's too far away to see clearly, but it should be the same direction as we came."

"North into Luoyang?" Qiao Laosi asked, although he didn't hear the other party's answer, but he also expected that the worst was about to happen.

"It should be!"

"That ......" the new fish cat also had a trace of worry in his heart.

The task of their trip was to ensure the smooth flow of the southern part of Luoyang and the southern part of Runan, and there could be no deviation in this rear support line under any circumstances. And the army here in Nanyang acted without receiving an order, which must have changed, originally from the Dagu Pass all the way smoothly, thinking that there was nothing to do in the rear, and they could skip Nanyang and enter Runan directly, but now this team of unknown origin has become a sharp knife hanging in everyone's hearts at this moment.

"What should I do?" Temu was a little worried.

"It's getting dark, and when they're encamped, we'll go in and find out." Qiao Laosi said, "This road is the only way to Luoyang, right?" ”

"There shouldn't be any other way."

"With such a huge team, it is impossible to leave the official road unattended, so we will wait for them here."

After the three of them decided, they drove the ox cart eastward for several miles, hid the ox cart, and then took out their weapons and dry food from the hay, ate two bites indiscriminately, and after assigning the role, they quietly waited for the night to come.

However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and the procession they saw did not go north from this official road, but found another path to Ruyang. Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, but there was no movement on the official road in the distance, Tiemu himself was a little skeptical of his judgment.

"It's only ten miles away from here just now, why haven't you arrived yet?" Qiao Laosi couldn't sit still.

"Could it be that what Brother Temu saw was just training?"

"Otherwise," Qiao Laosi vetoed the speculation of the new fish cat, "It's winter now, even if you want to train, you won't be so powerful." ”

"Then keep waiting?"

"As the saying goes, soldiers are fast, I'm afraid we can't wait any longer." Qiao Laosi thought thoughtfully, "Brother Tiemu, can you catch up?" ”

"What?" When Tiemu heard this, he couldn't help but look at Qiao Laosi.

"Split up, you catch up alone to find out the situation first, and I will rush back to Nanyang with him to inform the general." Qiao Laosi said, "If there is a Huan army in front, I am afraid that the general defending the city will also know, and you will return to Nanyang when the time comes; If it's not the Huan army in front, then you want to keep up, and I will go to Nanyang to inform the general to send troops in the starry night. ”

After hearing this, Tiemu understood his intentions, nodded, and said, "You two have not recovered from serious injuries, so be more careful." ”

"Without further ado, let's go." The new fish cats also know that time is running out right now.

"See you again in Nanyang!" After saying that, Temu ran up to the north, all the way wildly, and I don't know how long it was, but it was late at night, and everywhere was pitch black, and there was no trace of the march, nor the light of the fire on the night road. Just when I was wondering if I was wrong, there was a sudden strong wind, and the snow on the ground was swept up all over the sky, and the surroundings became extremely chaotic for a while, and the night road, which was already difficult to walk, became impossible to walk.

"Oops!" Tiemu shouted in his heart, "This place stretches for dozens of miles, full of fertile fields, but there are no people, if you stop here, you will inevitably freeze to death on the road." "However, I can't see anything at night, I only dare to walk along the official road, if I run out to find shelter from the wind, it's okay to find it, if I can't find it, I'm afraid I'll die here." If you die, you have to eat and drink enough! Thinking of this, Temu took out a jug of water and wine from his bosom, sat down on the snow in the midst of the strong wind, and drank it.

When I was young, there was a burst of laughter in the wind, "Haha, who is eating and drinking in the middle of the night, disturbing me and not sleeping." ”

When Temu heard the laughter, he hurriedly put his things down and was about to get up, but his shoulder sank, and a hand had already pressed him back.

"Obviously, the laughter is still far away, why is this person already behind him." Tie Muxin said, I couldn't help but feel that I had met some demon, so I shouted, "What kind of person, pretending to be a ghost." ”

The man smiled and said, "You are so strange, you sit on the ground and drink in the middle of the night, and you say that others are pretending to be ghosts." ”

Tiemu slapped his backhand behind him, just in the air, but the hand was still on his shoulder, and then he slapped it on his shoulder, and the man, as if he could see him, hurriedly withdrew his hand and put it on the other shoulder. Just fought a few times, and the wine jug in Tiemu's hand was snatched by the other party at some point, and the man took two sips of the wine, and said with a smile, "Hey, it's really good wine, good wine." Busy and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity, there's no fragrant meat, it's a pity." ”

"Who are you? What to do here? Temu was slightly angry.

"Who am I? What is it doing here? The man just drank wine and asked Tiemu Yanyun rhetorically.

"How do I know who you are?"

"Who is who? Who am I? Did the donor make a mistake? I'm not going to Luoyang with you. ”

Temu saw that he was crazy and crazy, and the bull's head was not in the horse's mouth, but when he heard his words, he hurriedly asked, "You guys? Who else goes to Luoyang? ”

"I thought it was a person, and I went up to ask for wine, but I was driven back, and later I found out that it was not a person who went up to ask, but a 'fire dragon'." The man pointed to the sky, and Temu followed his finger and saw a star hanging in the sky, where was the 'fire dragon'.

"'Fire Dragon?' ”

"That's right, a 'fire dragon' went up the mountain in the northwest."

When Temu heard this, he immediately knew the true identity of the 'Fire Dragon', said thank you, and got up to leave.

The man grabbed Tiemu and said, "Donor, do you still have wine?" ”

After hearing this, Temu handed all the things on his body to the visitor, "These are all for yourself." With that, he headed north.

The man looked at the direction where Tiemu left and said loudly, "It's windy in the middle of the night, you still need to be careful, why donor go to Nanyang with me, and I'll help the donor divination a hexagram." He opened the baggage, and saw some dry food, a jug of water and wine, a frozen piece of stiff beef, and some broken silver. Seeing this, he muttered, "It's too much!" It's too messy! But it has nothing to do with my old monk, with such a strong wind, I'd better find a place to drink wine and eat meat. ”

In other words, although Tiemu didn't find something better to discern the direction, he kept going north along the official road, and he would always meet the team just now, although the method was a little stupid, but in a dark night like this weather, it was the best way.

Sure enough, not long after running, I saw a dragon composed of torches crawling on the mountain from a distance, and since I saw it, I was able to catch up. With enough confidence, Tiemu hurried forward, whether it was because of the darkness around him, or because he was unfamiliar with the location of the waterway or the cliff, he could not come down from this official road, and the only thing he wanted in his heart was to go to the pass in front of him to intercept them, and this matter was not mentioned for the time being.

Let's say that after the fall of the sacred tree, about 100 or so people went to this sacred tree to hide from the rain of arrows outside, but the people inside were not just waiting, but preparing to meet the enemy. Fires were lit everywhere, and almost all of them were drying their clothes while cooking, and though a few arrows fell into the pot from time to time, most of the meals seemed to be unkillable.

The county lord followed the man in black absentmindedly all the way, and when Xiao Kui found her crying and called her name, she came back to her senses, several people talked, Xiao Kui asked something about her injury, helped her bandage the wound, looking at the scene here, the county lord realized that he saw the situation inside on the trunk of the tree, obviously the man in black found them on it, and while extinguishing the torch in the person's hand, while conveying the words.

"Sister, have you met Mr.?"

"He seems to be in charge of the city."

"Shall we go to him?" Aoi asked.

"He didn't let us go, and there was a reason for him to stay here, since we are all here, and we have seen the situation here, let's help them here." The county lord's analysis was not without a little reason, and they listened and were silent for a while.

"What's going to happen here?" ”

"I guess someone who just set fire to this place will take this place."

"They're coming?" When Xiaokui heard this, she couldn't help but be a little worried.

The county lord looked around, roughly calculated the number of people, and said, "It seems that according to the density of arrows, the number of opponents is far above us, and this is not a barrier, there are windows everywhere, and it may be difficult to defend it." ”

When Wei Nan heard this, he got up and pulled the man in black over just now and asked, "Who are you ordered to do here?" ”

The man in black looked at them, placed the scabbard behind him, and said, "My task is to hold this place with them." ”

"How long?"

"I don't know."

"How many people are on the other side?"

"I don't know."

"Are there any reinforcements?"

"I don't know."

When Wei Nan heard this, he grabbed him and said angrily, "I don't know anything, how to keep it!" ”

"It's none of your business, it's a military order."

"What a military order! Do you have any plans to retreat from the enemy? ”

"Block all entrances, blood stains this place."

After hearing this, the county lord couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "I'm afraid this is the best way, since he left you here, he will definitely not stand idly by, we will stay and help you." ”

"It's dawn." The man in black didn't say anything, because it was their business, and it was none of their business to decide what they decided, "The rain has stopped!" The rain of arrows outside stopped, which meant that the other party was ready, "I don't ask you to help us, just don't get in our way, and from now on, you are my subordinates, and you must obey my orders." ”

After hearing this, the three of them all nodded.

"In that case." The man in black threw two or three weapons in his hand to them, and then called someone to let him take Xiaokui to hide in the tree house that had not yet burned out, "You guys are here, if someone comes down from above, you come here!" The man in black called a man, "Do you see them clearly?" Do you remember that too? Application! ”

"My name is Zhang Quan."

"Okay, if someone comes down, notify this person just now, and he will bring someone to guard." The man in black finished commanding

, and yelled, "Brothers, now that the rain has stopped, hold your weapons tightly!" Now the rebels outside want to take it! They thought that after capturing this place, they would be able to fight to Luoyang, enter Luoyang and kill our children and relatives, they thought that we were all scared to pee our pants now, and they thought that we had no one in the Huan army! We now want them to know that they are wrong! Couldn't be more wrong! We're going to plunge our swords into their throats, cut off their eggs and throw them into the pot, gouge out their eyes and take a good look at them, and see if our Huan family army is what they say! ”

The crowd picked up their weapons and struck each other, shouting in agreement.

"We just need to hold on until the young master comes, that's all, can we do it!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! ”

"What is the purpose of our trip?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

"Good! Get ready to meet the enemy! ”

Although there were only a hundred people here, there were thousands of people, and this huge roar echoed in the tree path for a long time, and the people outside could hear this deafening sound even if they were miles away from here, and with the neighing of horses outside, the battle was about to break out.
