After a while, when the man in the leopard skin robe with a slightly pale face couldn't help but gasp, Hu Xue let go of his arm and raised his head, revealing the blood-stained red lips and jade teeth, and a strange flush appeared on his pretty face, which looked even more bewitching and moving.

The leopard-skin-robed man in the leopard skin robe with his body swaying slightly looked at Hu Xue's beautiful and moving appearance, and couldn't help but say in a trembling voice with an obsessive look: "Sister Xue'er, you are too ruthless, you want Brother Leopard's life!" ”

Hu Xue, who closed her eyes and took a deep breath, slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, then opened her eyes and looked at the man in the leopard skin robe and said with a charming smile: "Brother Leopard, people have worked hard to control it!" ”

"Hu Xue, if you can't control the power in your body, you will lose your life sooner or later!" The one-horned black dragon flickered with black light, turning into a tall and thin middle-aged man, frowning and looking at Hu Xue.

Hu Xue couldn't help but glance at him when he heard this: "Control? It's easy to say! If it were so easy to control, the old lady wouldn't have such a headache! Boss Long, if I can really control the bloodthirsty evil qi in my body perfectly, I'm afraid even you may not be my opponent! ”

"Alright, don't be verbose! Let's go! Yang Fan frowned slightly and said impatiently: "The Tang army has captured Xuanwu Pass, we have to rush back to Baihu Pass to prepare." ”

As soon as Yang Fan's words fell, Hu Xue glared at him unhappily: "Yang Fan, if you don't want to come to Xuanwu Pass, the old lady won't be hurt." Damn, stealing chickens doesn't make it a mess, and now you're cool? ”

"If you don't come here, how can you find out some details of the Tang Army?" Yang Fan's eyes flashed sharply. His face was slightly cold, but he still held back the anger in his heart and said indifferently.

The black bear spirit, who also turned into a strong man in the iron tower, grinned: "Okay! Let's not delay here, otherwise the masters of the Tang army will chase after us. Another trouble. ”

"Humph! It's better to kill, just to relieve the old lady's anger," Hu Xue snorted coldly: "The dragon boss is here, what are you afraid of?" ”

When Yang Fan heard this, he immediately frowned and shouted, "Hu Xue, don't be too confident!" Even I was seriously injured, do you really think that the Tang army is full of ordinary people with wine bags and rice bags? ”

"That's just your stupidity, you don't need to have treasures. Just like a general's competition, he fights hard with others, who is to blame for the injury? Hu Xue pouted.

Yang Fan was so angry that he gritted his teeth and snorted, and flew away directly. Fly towards the western sky.

"Oh, Sister Cher, let's say a few words!" The leopard-skin-robed man said with a smile, and at the same time reached out and pulled Hu Xue's jade wrist into a gust of wind and chased in the direction of Yang Fan's departure.

The strong man of the black bear Jingtie Tower and the tall and thin middle-aged black dragon who glanced at each other were also busy, and their figures moved

Inside the Xuanwu Pass. In a quiet room in Diao Mansion. In the slightly dim room, only Shan Ximu sat quietly on the bed, with a faint light all over his body, and a trace of cold mist was swirling, making the whole room full of coolness.

A sudden knock on the door sounded, and Dou Yihu's voice followed: "Big brother! ”

"Whew!" Breathing a sigh of relief, Shan Ximu, who was covered in restrained light, coughed lightly, and his face, which had been slightly flushed, turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. The whole person's breath was also a little vain, and a slightly weak voice came out of his mouth: "Come in!" ”

'Squeak'. Dou Yihu, who pushed open the door and came in, saw Shan Ximu's appearance, and couldn't help but change his face slightly and hurriedly said, "Big brother, why hasn't your injury improved a little?" ”

"The injury is not light this time, how can it be so fast?" Shan Ximu, who shook his head slightly, said with a headache: "You are in such a hurry to find me, is it that the marshal has arrived?" ”

Dou Yihu nodded and said with a slightly solemn expression: "Big brother, marshal, they have entered the Xuanwu Pass." ”

"Oh? So fast? I didn't even camp outside the customs, it seems that I am really anxious! Shan Ximu, who raised his eyebrows and showed an inexplicable smile at the corner of his mouth, got up and got out of bed directly: "Go, take me to see the marshal." ”

Dou Yihu, who nodded in response, hurriedly went to see Li Luanhu with Shan Ximu.

In a reception hall in Diao's mansion, Li Luanhu sat on the main seat, smiling on the surface, but there was an unconcealable anger and coldness in the depths of his eyes.

On both sides below, many generals of the Tang Army were also present, including Diao Yingxiang and Diao Yue'e, who had surrendered.

When he heard the legend of Shan Ximu and Dou Yihu asking to see him, Li Luanhu's eyes suddenly shrunk, and then he got up and greeted him with a smile on his face: "Haha, General Shan, I entered the Xuanwu Pass alone, cracked the conspiracy of Yang Fan, and captured the Xuanwu Pass, which is indispensable!" ”

"The marshal has spoken! The last general is just a fluke to make this achievement. cough cough" Shan Ximu entered the hall accompanied by Dou Yihu, bowed to Li Luanhu with a smile, and coughed before he finished speaking.

Seeing that Li Luanhu's pale face showed a sickly red color, Li Luanhu, who was a little surprised, couldn't help but hurriedly said with a concerned look: "General Shan, what's wrong with you?" Does it matter? ”

"Injured by that Yang Fan!" Shan Ximu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Thank you Marshal for your concern!" The last general's injury did not last ten days and a half months, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to heal. ”

Listening to Shan Ximu's words, Li Luanhu, whose eyes twitched slightly, said with concern: "Since General Shan is injured, it is better to recuperate well and not leave a dark disease." Come, General Shan, sit down and rest first! ”

"Marshal Xie!" Shan Ximu, who thanked him, coughed and sat down on the side with Dou Yihu's support.

Seeing Shan Ximu's appearance, all the generals had different expressions, some were worried, some were sneering, and some were frowning and contemplative.

Li Luanhu, who returned to the main seat and sat down, looked a little unnatural, and simply talked to the generals about military affairs, that is, in Shan Ximu's increasingly strict coughing voice, he ordered the generals to leave, and told Shan Ximu to recuperate from his injuries with a look of earnest concern.

Seeing that after Shan Ximu was left by Dou Yihu, facing the remaining extremely trusted generals in the hall, Li Luanhu's face slowly became ugly, his eyes were cold as if he was going to choose someone to eat, and his breathing became heavy.

"Bastard!" Li Luanhu gritted his teeth and snorted. Suddenly turned around and waved his hand, and a burst of energy directly shattered a coffee table not far away and the teacups on the coffee table.

The Tang generals sitting on both sides were all startled, and they were silent for a while.

"Get out of here!" Li Luanhu with a low roar. The reddened eyes swept coldly over the Tang generals, so frightened that they all got up and fled respectfully.

Seeing their wolf bèi leaving, Li Luanhu couldn't help but say coldly: "A bunch of useless waste! ”

"Does the marshal really believe that Shan Ximu was seriously injured?" Fan Long, the only one in the hall who did not leave and looked calm, raised his head slightly to look at the angry Li Luanhu and asked softly.

Taking a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, Li Luanhu, who walked to the main seat and sat down, could not hide his anger in a low tone: "Injured? Maybe he was injured, but it was absolutely impossible to be so strict. ”

"That's right!" Fan Long nodded and said, "You can see Shan Ximu's appearance just now, but the 'injury' is very serious!" So. Somewhat contrived. It seems that he guessed the marshal's intentions. Therefore, he took advantage of his injuries this time to retreat into advance. The marshal is not good to let him fight with Yang Fan again. ”

Hearing this, Li Luanhu couldn't help but look even more ugly, and gasped a few times before gritting his teeth and saying hatefully: "Bastard! Give me the chain at this time. Wait! When I cleaned up Yang Fan, I had time to take care of him. ”

"Brother Li, with all due respect! Yang Fan, it's not easy to deal with! Fan Long said with a slightly solemn expression.

Li Luanhu, who was silent for a while with his eyes narrowed. Only then did he nod and said with a flickering gaze: "Shan Ximu and Yang Fan fought a big battle in Xuanwu Pass before. It's terrifying. The strength of the two of them is really beyond my expectations. However, even so, Yang Fan should have been injured this time. ”

"Therefore, we should speed up our march and attack the White Tiger Pass as much as possible," Fan Long said.

Li Luanhu nodded with a ruthless look on his face: "Not bad!" I'm going to hit Yang Fan off guard. Yang Fan, I want to take a look. It's not easy to see how he is. ”

"Brother Li, between Xuanwu Pass and White Tiger Pass. Most of them are mountains and forests, with 18 villages, and the garrisons range from hundreds to two or three thousand, and there are more than 20,000 people. It's not easy to conquer as many as possible," Fan Long frowned.

Li Luanhu also frowned slightly when he heard this, and only after a deep groan did he say in a deep voice: "Let Diao Yingxiang and Diao Yue'e father and daughter go to attack." The generals of the eighteen villages are basically Diao Yingxiang's subordinates, and I heard that only a few are controlled by Yang Fan of Baihu Pass. The father and daughter of the Diao family should be able to overcome it as much as possible. In addition, Dou Yihu, Qin Han, Dou Xiantong, and Chen Jinding were sent with him. ”

"This" Fan Long, who was stunned, turned to seem to think of something, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Li is so calculating!" But I don't know, who among them is the main commander? ”

Li Luanhu smiled lightly with his eyes: "Let Dou Xiantong be the master!" ”

"Dou Xiantong? Good idea! Fan Long nodded with a slight glint in his eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger

In the quiet room of Diao's Shan Ximu's residence, Dou Xiantong, Chen Jinding, Xue Jinlian, Qin Han and others all gathered here.

"Thank you for coming to see me, I can't die yet!" Looking at Dou Xiantong's worried look, Shan Ximu couldn't help but shake his head and smile, looking free and casual: "While you are recuperating from your injuries, you can have a good rest." ”

looked at Shan Ximu carefully, Xue Jinlian, whose beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of suspicion, heard the slightly inexplicable words behind Shan Ximu, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

"The marshal has an order! General Dou Xiantong, General Dou Yihu, General Chen Jinding, and General Qin Han, please do your best to reorganize your troops and horses, and follow General Diao Yingxiang and General Diao Yue'e to capture the eighteen villages between Xuanwu Pass and Baihu Pass, and clear the official road to enter Baihu Pass.

Hearing that order, Shan Ximu, whose eyes flashed, couldn't help but squint his eyes and show a deep groan.

Dou Xiantong and Chen Jinding glanced at each other, and then hurriedly said to Shan Ximu: "Big brother, then let's go first!" ”

"Hmm!" Shan Ximu nodded and smiled: "Be careful!" Don't be careless! ”

"Don't worry! Eldest brother! Nodding in response, Dou Xiantong waved to Chen Jinding and the others and walked out first: "Go!" ”

Xue Jinlian, who was the last, glanced at Shan Ximu with a little meaning before leaving.

Shan Ximu, who watched Xue Jinlian leave, whispered to himself with the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Do you see it?" is worthy of being a golden immortal powerhouse, and his perception is really keen! ”

"Li Luanhu, you really don't give up!" Instead, Shan Ximu said in a deep voice with a slight frown.

Li Luanhu's voice just fell. A cold and pleasant voice came into my ears: "Let's take care of your injuries with peace of mind!" Why do you care about other people so much? Hmph, that Li Luanhu is not a good thing. Be careful! ”

"I thought you were gone!" Looking at the dala sitting at the window dangling on two legs. Shan Ximu couldn't help laughing.

Dala looked at Shan Ximu angrily: "You hate me so much, don't you want to see me?" ”

Shan Ximu was stunned when he heard this, and he was a little helpless and speechless for a while.

"Li Luanhu calculates you so much, why do you bother to buy and sell for Datang again? What can the Tang Emperor give you? Looking at the silent Shan Ximu, there was a trace of mist in his beautiful eyes, and he couldn't help but say.

Shan Ximu smiled helplessly: "Dala, it's not that you don't know. This is what the teacher meant, and he wants me to be a general in the Tang Army. And I really want to earn a piece of glory. Not for anything else, but for my mother! ”

"That's it! I'm going to find the teacher, I'm not bored with you here," said Dala who shook his head and jumped out of the window.

Watch the dala leave. Shan Ximu couldn't help but take a deep breath. Tilt your head and mutter, "I'm sorry, Dala!" ”

In the mountains and forests, in a wooden corridor above the gate of the cottage standing in the middle of the two mountains and valleys, Dou Xiantong, who was stained with blood, looked at a large number of corpses in the open space below with a slightly unsightly face, among which there were Xiliang soldiers, but more of them were Tang Army soldiers.

"General Dou, the last general really didn't expect it. General Niu of this official village actually secretly threw himself into Yang Fan, which was the fault of the last general. Please General Dou to punish the crime! On the side, Diao Yingxiang also looked a little apprehensive and bowed to Dou Xiantong.

Hearing this, Dou Xiantong, who took a light breath and withdrew his gaze, glanced sideways at Diao Yingxiang and said indifferently: "I can't blame you for this!" The thirteen official villages in front of them were all taken lightly, all relying on General Diao's persuasion to surrender. No one thought that this would be the case, and General Diao didn't have to blame himself. ”

Diao Yingxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly said: "General Dou, the four official villages below are all controlled by Yang Fan, and they are all his cronies. Especially the best one, there are more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, the official village is strong, the terrain is dangerous, and it is not easy to break through. Moreover, maybe Yang Fan will also send troops to reinforce him. ”

"Let's settle this place first!" Dou Xiantong frowned slightly and turned to look at the sporadic battles in the official village that had not yet completely ended. Due to the previous ambush calculation, the more than 1,000 Xiliang soldiers in this official village wanted to surrender, but they were afraid that the soldiers of the Tang Army would not agree.

The battle did not last long, and more than 1,000 Xiliang soldiers ended in the annihilation of the entire army.

After taking the official village here, Dou Xiantong decisively ordered to leave a thousand soldiers and horses to garrison, repair the official village, and then led the vanguard army to continue to rush to the next official village.

And the next three official villages, unexpectedly were all captured by the light, and there was even no effective resistance, and the third official village was an empty village, with no soldiers and horses at all.

However, the generals of the Tang Army, such as Dou Xiantong and other Tang Army generals who had even ordered three official villages, did not have a trace of joy, but their faces were a little difficult to look at.

Without any hesitation, they continued to march towards the best official village, but Dou Xiantong and the others were obviously much more cautious.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry! Most of them retreated into the last official village, and the possibility of an ambush on the road was very small. Even if it is really an ambush, I can find it in advance," Xue Jinlian saw Dou Xiantong's frowning appearance, and couldn't help but say: "Even if the last official village is dangerous, I will personally burn his village gate, and it will not be difficult to conquer." ”

Dou Xiantong nodded and smiled, but he still couldn't help but say: "I don't know what's going on, I always feel a little uneasy." Let's be careful! ”

"The surrounding mountains and forests are very dense!" Dou Yihu looked around casually and raised his eyebrows.

Diao Yingxiang hurriedly said: "The mountains and forests here are the most dense, but they are located in the depths of the mountains and forests, and there are usually many tigers, leopards and jackals. However, our army has passed everywhere, and the killing atmosphere is strong, and those beasts dare not approach. ”

"Not necessarily!" Xue Jinlian, who suddenly spoke, her pretty face became a little cold, and her beautiful eyes looked coldly at the dense mountains and forests on both sides.

Listening to Xue Jinlian's words, Diao Yingxiang, who was slightly stunned, heard a faint roar of a tiger and wolf, and couldn't help but change his complexion slightly: "How is this possible?" ”

"All the soldiers obey the order! Stop advancing, the shield hand is in front, the crossbowman is behind, and the defensive formation is set on the spot," Dou Xiantong gave an order, and all the soldiers immediately ordered the forbidden to stop and act quickly, and after a period of noise, the neat defensive formation was placed on the official road that was slightly narrow and overgrown with weeds on both sides.

The quiet and tense atmosphere spread, and the sound of tigers roaring and wolf roaring continued to sound, far and near, and after a while, Dou Xiantong and others on horseback saw agile phantoms scurrying in the mountains and forests on both sides.

"It's a wolf! What a wolf! Diao Yue'e exclaimed, her pretty face slightly whiter. Although he is also a powerful female general, he is not afraid of tigers, leopards and jackals, but the shock brought by the many wolf shadows still makes people feel afraid.

Dou Yihu also clenched the golden stick in his hand and squinted his eyes and said: "Not only wolves, but also some tigers and leopards, but the number is small." However, how could so many tigers, leopards and jackals suddenly come to besiege us? Even if a few of us are not afraid, the soldiers will inevitably be afraid. If these tigers, leopards and jackals tear apart the defensive position, I am afraid that we will collapse without a fight. ”

"These tigers, leopards, and jackals are weird!" Qin Han frowned and said, turning to look at the Tang Army soldiers with pale faces, and couldn't help but show a worried look on his face.

Although this soldier of the Tang Army, who has experienced life and death, is not a timid and cowardly person, human beings have a natural sense of fear in the face of fierce birds and beasts. Three or five dozen beasts were nothing, but the seemingly endless beasts in the jungle were enough to break the morale of an army.

With the sound of swishing through the air, some of the approaching wild wolves had jumped up nimbly and pounced on the sergeants.

Dou Xiantong hurriedly shouted: "Crossbowman! Shoot! Hold on to me, what's there to be afraid of? ”

Dou Xiantong's voice suddenly made the soldiers calm their minds slightly, and as arrows shot out, they shot those wild wolves into hedgehogs. Even some of the wolves that didn't die immediately were impaled by spears in the gaps in their shields when they got closer. (To be continued......)
