Fifty miles west of Jing County, Danyang County, by a stream in an uninhabited valley.

Ma Yue ran here with the frightened Cai Yan according to the map he had drawn, and it was already waning when he arrived.

The carriage is gone, the belongings are gone, the weapons are gone, and even the map of Yangzhou brought out from Luoyang is gone.

Ma Yue only had a map from Lujiang to Danyang that he sketched. Heifu is dead, and so is Uncle Liu...... Ma Yue was gone.

In the whole of Yangzhou, there is not a single person he knows...... Caught in a desperate situation.

The frightened Cai Yan sat on the stone next to her and hugged her knees, she didn't want to speak, she didn't dare to speak, she was very scared.

She had never seen death before, and the fiercest battle she had ever seen in her life was the sword that the Tai student in front of the Liang Mansion had slashed on Ma Yue's chest before today.

A thief who tried to kidnap himself was cut off in front of him, and the two guards who got along day and night were dead, and more thieves were splashed with blood on the spot a dozen steps away.

The impact of all this on her was too great, and she couldn't accept it for a while.

As Ma Yue said, she has always lived in the dream of a peaceful and prosperous world, reading poetry and playing the piano, how could she understand Ma Yue's difficulties that have been soaked in blood since she was twelve years old.

This kind of battle is just a common thing for Ma Yue, and what really makes him sad is the sacrificial guards of Heifu and Uncle Liu.

The official bandit leader named Zu Lang was firmly remembered by Ma Yue.

And the desperate situation that now lies before him.

Five hundred miles away, the two of them had only one horse, and nothing else.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, which does not need money, even if the next road does not encounter tribulations, it still has to walk for more than half a month, how to solve the cost of more than half a month?

After a long time, Cai Yan came back to his senses, opened his eyes with pear blossoms and rain and asked Ma Yue, "Over there at your house...... Do people always kill like this? ”

Cai Yan didn't use the title this time, and she didn't know what to call Ma Yue, so she was held in Ma Yue's arms and ran for fifty miles in a hurry...... Her heart still beats.

Ma Yue saw that Cai Yan finally came back to his senses, and his heart was a little more happy, but he didn't know how to answer this question.

He had been away from home for so long that he couldn't remember anything at home.

"There was no killing either." After thinking for a long time, Ma Yue stretched out his hand to wipe away the undried tears on Cai Yan's face, and said with a little nostalgia: "The people of Liangzhou are very simple, but the environment is difficult, and more often they need bows, arrows and knives to defend their lives. There are not as many scholars there as Luojing, there are more ...... It was the man who was skilled in the bow and horse, and because of poverty, many boys also carried the horn to fight for a small amount of money, so we became proficient in the sword and bow earlier. ”

Ma Yue spread his hands and said, "When you were still studying, we were taught by our families how to ride horses and how to wield knives. It's just the same energy to do different things. ”

"You've been to Bingzhou as a kid, right?" Cai Yan held his knees with both hands, put his chin on his arm and lowered his head and said: "Actually, I have known you for a long time, when I was young, I lived with my father in Bingzhou, Xianbei Koubian, I heard the story of Ma Sanlang going out to save his brother, and later there was an ancestral hall erected by people in Bingzhou outside the Guan. ”

"Huh? How could there be such a thing? Ma Yue was stunned, he knew that Cai Yan lived with Mr. Cai Yong when he was a child, but he never knew that someone had set up an ancestral hall for himself, and why did people set up an ancestral hall for themselves.

"Hee-hee, you don't know." Cai Yan rarely showed an innocent and lively expression on his face and said: "At that time, there were many villages outside the Saiwai with your name on the ground, and there were many Xianbei people who died there, so many villages were not burned, and the people in the villages outside the Guanxi were very grateful to you, and later there were still people to worship you when Xianbei Koubian was there...... It's just that you don't have a manifestation. ”

Ma Yue raised his hand and wiped his forehead when he heard this, there were really people worshipping him......

"That was before you came to Luoyang, of course I couldn't show my spirit, at that time I was a county lieutenant in Lingzhou County, on the border of Beidi County, Liangzhou, and I followed the border army to fight the Xianbei people."

Speaking of Beidi County, Ma Yue didn't know how Dou Liang, who was still guarding the Great Wall, was doing all these years, how many attacks he repelled from the Xianbei people, and how many Han family sons spilled blood on the Great Wall.

"I know, you still killed King Xianbei and Lian in that battle." Cai Yan puffed out his mouth and said, "You have been told many times by the family in the house. ”

"Where. I didn't kill Helian, Xianbei didn't enter Beidi County that year, I just grabbed Helian's coffin. Ma Yue felt that chatting like this was very easy, and no longer had the feeling that he was afraid of this and that when he talked to Cai Yan before, he fortunately sat on the ground with his arms propped up and said: "There was infighting among their Xianbei people, I don't know which tribe killed their king, and later blamed another tribe king, and the army that plundered the border fortress was divided into two factions and fought back to their home, and then they kept fighting, but they made the border safe for a while." ”

"It's not you, then why do they want to give you such a great feat?"

"It's not to push it to me, many things have changed their flavor when they are passed on, just like the Yellow Turban general, I didn't kill it, I couldn't even hold the knife at that time, Ah Ruo rushed to the ship of the general Ren Gong alone and killed a thorough, so Ah Ruo became the captain of Longguan...... But then rumors in the market put the credit on me. ”

"Well, I really don't know a lot of things if I don't experience them personally." Cai Yan lowered his head and said, then asked, "Then aren't you afraid?" Always go to war, and ...... And so brave. ”

"Actually, I'm not brave at all, but I've fought a lot and I'm used to it." Between words, memories brought Ma Yue back to the year he was twelve years old. "When I was twelve years old, I followed the caravan to the Western Regions, before that I had only gotten chopping wood, those robbers on the road suddenly appeared, the battle happened in an instant, I was afraid to die, my brother hid me behind the cart I still shivered endlessly, and then after the battle ended I didn't eat for two days."

"Hehe, it turns out that you are also afraid...... I am hungry. ”

The two of them chatted, the sky was getting dark, Ma Yue drilled out of the bonfire with an iron spear by the stream, and smiled at Cai Yan: "Hey, it's easy to say when you're hungry, watch me use the skills I just learned to catch some food for you!" ”

Ma Yue carried a three-foot iron spear and aimed at the carp swimming in the stream.

In a moment, Ma Yue's iron spear was back by the campfire with two fat fish, and although the unseasoned salt seemed lighter, neither of them was in the mood to think about the tastes of the day.

If you have something to eat, it's already good.

After eating the fish, Ma Yue found some reed poles by the stream and roughly laid them, and Cai Yan's tense spirit finally relaxed completely, and he curled up and fell asleep.

Ma Yue's single clothes were covered on her body, looking at the jumping bonfire, Ma Yue fell into deep contemplation, no longer for the sake of military affairs, no longer for the rise and fall of Liangzhou.

Just for the sake of how to use his ability to get a carriage for Cai Yan and rush to Wu County as soon as possible.

It's okay to do this in three or two days, but after a long time, let alone Cai Yan, your body will not be able to hold it...... In this case, once you can't hold on.

The consequences were devastating.
