Chapter 29: Vigilance

In the northwest, it is the hottest time of the day, but the green grassland is barren. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Pei Ze was covered in blood, and the fighting for days made him almost unconscious, and he couldn't tell whether the blood on his body was his or the enemy's.

When Yan Mo found Pei Ze near Suwatai three days ago, he was already seriously injured and unconscious, and there were only more than 80 of the 500 dead soldiers he brought out.

Pei Ze was determined to avenge his father, and he made dangerous moves, and chased the king of Xiliang all the way to Suwatai, the southwest hinterland of Xiliang, and the new king of Xiliang was three hundred miles away. However, because they had been marching for days and had no food to keep up with, the eighty-odd of them were already hungry and sore, so they could only follow the Ruru people from a distance, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

But I didn't expect that this time the Ruru people were very vigilant, and they found out that someone was following them a few days ago, but they couldn't figure out how many people Pei Ze had led before they didn't make a move.

Later, Ru Ru scouts determined that Pei Ze and more than 80 others were just the end of the crossbow, and Ru Ru led his troops to encircle and suppress them.

Yan Mo chased him out all the way along the escape route of King Xiliang, and waited for the night until he noticed that the Ruru people had moved, so he quietly followed.

Although the night was dark, Yan Mo still recognized at a glance that it was Pei Ze who was surrounded in the center and fought hard, and he hurriedly came with his own men and horses, which saved Pei Ze's life.

The Ruru people suffered a big loss from Pei Ze last time, thinking that this time it was Pei Ze's trick to lure the enemy, and the men and horses brought by Yanmo must have been more than 100 people, so they have been guarding the king's tent three hundred miles away, and they dare not send troops easily.

"How much water do we have?" Pei Ze asked hoarsely.

Yan Mo calculated carefully and said, "It will probably last for two days." "In fact, they don't drink water on weekdays, but they only dip two drops of water when their mouths are really dry, and before Yanmo's future support, Pei Ze and they have been drinking horse urine for a few days. Rao is like this, and the remaining water is not enough to support them.

Pei Ze lowered his head, "This time I took the plunge." ”

He was too eager to take revenge, eager to kill the king of Xiliang, and even sent troops despite Wei Wuyi's threat. He thought that he was stationed at the border all the year round and knew the terrain of the northwest, but he still got lost in the night and almost lost the king of Xiliang.

Five hundred elite soldiers, only eighty-seven people were left after half a month.

Pei Ze looked up at the sky, he grew up right away since he was a child, what he did was to inherit his father's will, guard the border passes, and expel Xiliang.

And the saddest thing is that they may really die before their ambition is achieved this time, and more than 400 elite soldiers will give up their lives to protect his momentary will, if he is defeated in this battle, not to mention that these more than 400 people have no one to bury, I am afraid that they will not even be able to retain the reputation of sacrificing their lives for the country and dying generously.

He is under double pressure, for the sake of his dead brother, he must also win this battle, he must win.

Yan Mo sat next to him, they grew up together, Pei is the prince's companion, he is the only son of the prince's young master, when he was a child, whenever he heard his father who returned to the mansion praise the prince for how talented and intelligent, and Pei Ze was a young talent, he couldn't help but be jealous, because his father had never praised himself like that...... Later, after the prince died young, Pei Ze no longer went to Yanqing Palace, so he often went to the palace to ask his father for advice; At first, he still had the heart to compete with him, but later he was defeated more times, and gradually admired, relying on Pei Ze every day in order to learn one or two tricks secretly, Pei Ze looked cold-faced, but in fact he was soft-hearted, and he came and went, and after finding that he couldn't get rid of it, he acquiesced to follow him like this. In this way, as time went on, they went into battle together to kill the enemy, fought horses and paraded the streets together, and they became inseparable friends.

Pei Ze, whom he knew, was always Mount Tai at the top and his face did not change, and even his father died four years ago, and he never showed the slightest vulnerability. But today's Pei Ze made him really feel that no one is perfect, and it turns out that Pei Ze is also afraid and timid.

Yan Mo patted Pei Ze's shoulder, "Fang Ji, we won't lose." ”

Pei Ze smiled bitterly, now he can only say that this can only be a strong courage, there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, so he can only be hard and gnaw the hard bone of King Xiliang, there is no other way.

The two sat in silence for a while.

Suddenly, Pei Ze stood up, turned over on his horse, and looked up into the distance, "Someone is coming." ”

The people around him suddenly became vigilant.

Yan Mo also jumped on the horse, "Carrying goods, it seems to be a businessman." ”

Pei Ze's face was calm, "Not necessarily." "It may also be a delicate work of disguise. Then he raised his hand and motioned for the rest of the men to line up and wait for someone to come.

Shen Li followed the traces of the horse's hooves pressing over the grass, and finally found Pei Ze's location.

was excited to come forward and beckon, but was stopped by Yuan Songshi.

Yuan Songshi said angrily: "Don't wave blindly, don't you see that there are all arrays waiting for us over there!" ”

It's really a toothache, who would have expected Pei Ze to be so vigilant, it seems that he doesn't want to give them a way to live.

Shen Li didn't understand, "Let's just say hello, don't we?" ”

Yuan Songshi said: "You are stupid! Start greeting from afar, how can you make General Pei believe that you are a businessman passing by by accident? ”

Shen Li smiled awkwardly, "It's still Old Yuan who is thoughtful." So what do we do, in your opinion? "You can't come here to see General Pei and go back without doing anything, right?

Yuan Songshi didn't even look at him, "You just don't know that there are soldiers and horses here, walk over as usual, see General Pei, and then hand over the customs clearance documents to him." ”

"That's it?"

"Or else? At this time, it is wrong to say more, and be cautious in everything. Yuan Songshi said. With that, he raised his horsewhip and quickened his pace.

The group followed.

Seeing that Pei Ze's men and horses were getting closer and closer, and the spears of the soldiers were pointing at them, Shen Li couldn't help but shout: "General, below is Shen Li, a merchant from Xi'an Mansion, who led a team to the Western Regions on the order of the lord's family, and got lost in the desert on the way back, so he came here, and he had no intention of disturbing the general, and he also looked at Haihan." ”

After that, he jumped off the horse vigorously and saluted Pei Ze with a fist.

Yan Mo didn't put a spear in his hand, and said suspiciously: "Since you are a merchant in the Western Regions, do you have customs clearance documents and road guides?" ”

Yuan Songshi also dismounted, turned out the documents in his cloth pocket and handed them to Shen Li, Shen Li looked at the surrounding soldiers, walked to Yanmo's horse in person, and handed it over.

Yanmo opened the paperwork, carefully checked Shen Li's identity and place of origin, and said after a while, "It's nothing to look at." He handed the paperwork to Pei Ze again.

Pei Ze rolled his eyes twice, and when he saw Shen Li's hometown, he asked, "You said that you are from Xi'an, I don't know which store you are walking in?" ”

Shen Li didn't expect Pei Ze to not ask about his place of origin or accent, but he only asked the cargo store, and said loudly: "The villain is the consul of the caravan sent by the Bafang Warehouse. ”

Pei Ze's eyes lit up, "Your shopkeeper is Liu Yu?" ”
