The twelve horsemen who were close to the Yan family's caravan were actually the two groups of people led by Lin Shan's seclusion in the west. However, the Yan family caravan was communicating with them, and they agreed to pick up people in this place and split the way, and the two groups of people did not all arrive, but the twelve horsemen who left the group were really the elites in the group. The leader is a man and a woman, respectively Luo Qing, the leader of the first group, and Liu Sheng, the leader of the second group.

However, because the Yan family reminded them in the letter that the only people they wanted to pick up were the old Qiao Cui in the second group, Liu Sheng's younger brother Lu Sheng, and a member of the fourth group, but Lin Shan was the only one missing, Luo Qing and Liu Sheng couldn't help but be full of doubts and worries.

The matter of Kyoto, after only one night, reached the second group stationed in the west, and the group was almost chaotic at that time. Fortunately, after about half a month, the second group received another express letter about this matter, and the situation of the second group's confusion calmed down a little.

But if these two groups of people really feel at ease, they can only see with their own eyes that the forest is unharmed. Therefore, the express letter that the two groups received late last night gathered more than a dozen important people in the two groups all night to discuss for several hours, and finally only a few people were left in the group, responsible for presiding over the daily affairs of the group in the past few days, and most of the elites went out with the two team leaders.

At the beginning of the letter, the time was actually calculated, and after the second group received the letter, they had to send someone to arrive on time immediately. But because it took more than two hours for the council in the group, the arrival time would inevitably be delayed, but the twelve horsemen of these two combinations only made the Yan family caravan wait for more than an hour, and the reason for this was only known by these twelve people themselves.

Yan Yu didn't know what the real reason for the twelve horsemen was late, the letter was sent by the Yan family's channel, but in fact, it was just borrowed from his family's convenient business affairs, and the content of the letter was not from Yan Yu's hand. It's someone else's arrangement. At first, Yan Yu thought that it was because of the sudden change in the sky, and these people chose the wrong time when they set off, but when the twelve horsemen approached, he couldn't help but wonder if these people were in trouble on the road.

Although their Yan family knew what these dozen or so people were doing, others didn't know that if these dozen or so people galloped like this and crossed the two capitals to come here, it would be easy to arouse doubts about the local military defense.

But. Yan Yu quickly thought of the real leader of this passer-by, the subordinates brought out by that person, and the style of acting should not be too careless. So he shook his head secretly. Sink your mind and don't think about it anymore, and pick up your steps to meet the twelve horsemen.

The express letter stated the agreed time for this trip to pick up people, so after the second group received the letter, the team leader Liu Sheng knew very well that if he didn't set off immediately, it would be tantamount to missing the hour. This is in the discipline of the second group, and if it is violated, the punishment is very severe.

Just looking at the handwriting on the letter, although it was a little messy and the strokes were not very steady, Yanagi only glanced at it. It felt familiar. Because of the mission, the second team received a lot of letters written by Lin Shan, although those letters were read. All of them have been burned, but the pattern of the traces of the text has been deeply imprinted in the minds of the readers.

Because of the familiar handwriting in that letter, Liu Sheng judged that the Yan family was in a row. Lin Shan was most likely on the list, so she knew that her side of the trip could not be delayed in the slightest. But it still took half an hour to summon people, and it took more than an hour to assemble. But that letter was an order, and the urgency of time was also understood by Liu Sheng, so after the twelve people set off, they took a shortcut and did not spend the slightest time on crossing the city defense.

It is said that it is a shortcut, but in fact, it is only reflected in the characteristics of no obstacles, because there are no people, no water sources, and even no paths along the way. The twelve men ran wildly for four hours in a row, and when they arrived at the place specified in the letter, they were all covered in dust and dusty. The horses under the seat were also panting and snorting.

After a brief greeting, Yan Yu carefully noticed that the mounts of these people were all wearing down, so he immediately sent the horse breeding employees in his caravan to come forward for a simple inspection and care.

After that, Yan Yu was about to take this group of people to meet the people they were going to pick up, but after walking a few steps, Yan Yu hesitated to stop, looked back at the twelve people who were covered in dust, and hesitated: "The people you want to pick up all have relatively strict external injuries on their bodies. ”

When this group of people heard this, they immediately understood, and consciously left ten people in place to wait, only two team leaders continued to follow Yan Yu, but these two people had already taken off the dust-stained clothes they were wearing outside, and the clothes inside would naturally be cleaner.

After Yan Yu led the two of them to approach the three vans in the middle of the caravan, he himself took a few steps back, and he did not participate in the next meeting or conversation of this passer-by, and he did not want to interfere.

Judging from the direction from which Yan Yu and his party came, the first of the three vans was the one in which Lu Sheng and Qiao Cui were riding.

Luo Qing opened the curtain and saw his old acquaintance Qiao Cui, and his mood couldn't help but be a little complicated. It hadn't been long since they last met. Luo Qing followed Lin Shan's order, dragged a few carts of books to the Kejia iron shop for incineration, and met Qiao Cui there, only to know that he had been looking for two groups of old people for a long time without success, and it turned out that he had been hiding in the Kejia iron shop and had been a woodcutter for more than ten years.

When the old people met, there was originally a lot to say, but then Lu Sheng's sudden appearance disrupted the order of steps of several things. On the day of their first meeting, Luo Qing originally had the intention of persuading Qiao Cui to return to the group, but because of Lu Sheng's appearance, he changed his mind.

With Lin Shan's order, Lu Sheng was not allowed to follow him to Kyoto, so when Lin Shan set off, Lu Sheng was locked up in the original station of the second group, but Luo Qing saw Lu Sheng on the ground near Kyoto, which can only show that the second group did not look at it strictly and let him slip away. If Lu Sheng wants to run, who can catch up? There are only two groups of old people in front of him, Qiao Cui.

It's just that Luo Qing didn't expect that his impromptu commission almost made Qiao Cui die in the fire. He hadn't returned to the second group yet, and he didn't need to obey the group's orders, but he still agreed to his commission, and if he died in Kyoto, he didn't know how to wash away the guilt in his heart.

In that express letter, the injuries of several people were also briefly mentioned, but at this time, seeing Qiao Cui, who had both legs and right arm fractured, and looked like a waste man after being splint, Luo Qing still couldn't help but redden, and spoke softly, but could only say two words: "Sorry......"

Qiao Cui smiled slightly and said, "Fortunately, I didn't die, otherwise I would have haunted you if I became a ghost." ”

Seeing Luo Qing coming, he completely understood who the Yan family's caravan was waiting for here. In fact, he has long realized that Lin Shan will definitely not take Lu Sheng with him anymore, not that he wants to go against his promise, but that his physical condition is indeed very poor now, not to mention who he takes care of, whether he can survive or not, there is still suspense!

However, seeing the two team leaders come to pick up people in person, Qiao Cui still felt a little surprised. Looking at Liu Sheng, who was hugging Lu Sheng tightly on the side, suppressing his crying and crying straight to tears, Qiao Cui said again: "I know that you sisters and brothers have a deep relationship, but you'd better not get too close." Lu Sheng's internal injuries are not serious, but there are several skin burns on his body, so be careful! ”

Hearing this, Liu Sheng hurriedly let go of Lu Sheng, and sure enough, he saw a cold sweat on Lu Sheng's forehead, which seemed to be caused by the wound she had accidentally touched on him just now.

Liu Sheng and Lu Sheng, both "wild children" who lost their parents in the famine years, came together with another lonely old man on the way to escape the famine, and three people who were not related to each other formed a family. But the friendship between sisters and brothers with different surnames has gone through the test of life and death in the famine years, and it is no less than the blood between biological sisters and brothers.

Seeing that her younger brother was silently enduring the pain of the injury, but it was all caused by her carelessness, Liu Sheng was also distressed, but she wiped her tears, but she said stiffly: "The pain on your body, why don't you say it?" ”

Because Lu Sheng has old diseases in his mind and often causes trouble to the people around him, Liu Sheng often reprimands him as a way to discipline him. Later, both of them joined the second group of Lin Shan's management, and Lu Sheng benefited a lot from following Lin Shan's side, although his thinking was sometimes easy to go into a fork in the road and make some mistakes, but it was much better than before. However, Liu Xian's habit of reprimanding him without moving has not changed, even if some reprimands are unnecessary for the current Lu Sheng.

And Liu Sheng didn't know that the current Lu Sheng had changed a little strangely from Lu Sheng who secretly ran out of the second group a month ago.

In the face of Liu Sheng's worried blame, if it was the previous Lu Sheng, he might be silent or argue a few words, but now Lu Sheng just said slowly in a deep voice after being silent for a while: "Sister, don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

This sentence with a normal logical order made Liu Sheng hear a little abnormal, because her brother rarely spoke to her in such a tone, and in normal times, although she firmly believed that her brother would recover completely one day, she still faintly always regarded him as a problem brother in her heart.

Liu Sheng subconsciously looked at Qiao Cui, about the commission to entrust Qiao Cui to catch up with Lu Sheng and bring him back to the second group, Luo Qing did not hide it from her.

Facing Liu Sheng's questioning gaze, Qiao Cui hesitated slightly, and finally said lightly: "Don't worry, your brother may just be a little frightened." Ouch, when I think back to that day, there were a lot of deaths! ”

As soon as his words fell, he suddenly heard Lu Sheng say: "It was Brother Qiao who saved me, otherwise I might have died." ”

Hearing him say this, not only Liu Sheng, but now even Luo Qing also felt Lu Sheng's strangeness, causing him to have such a change, and the reason was probably not as simple as being a little frightened.
