From Jizhou to the north to the Yanshan camp, according to normal terms, it takes at least half a month to walk.

However, the last time the Yanshan camp went south, it proved with practical actions that human potential can indeed be forced out a little more.

Li Qi and the others were also very anxious, because they didn't bring horses when they went out of the city, and Yu Jiuling also asked the horses when they were buying weapons at the city gate, but the group thought he was crazy.

Even the soldiers of the Yuzhou Army can't touch the horses now, and all the war horses have been ordered to be collected and gathered by Panno.

If Li Qi and the others really rode horses, those soldiers might dare to shoot arrows directly at them.

Now Li Qi and their top priority is to find a mount, whether it is a horse or a donkey, as long as it can be used.

However, in fact, Jizhou has been fighting one after another, and from Jizhou to the north, in addition to the relatively large cities, where can you still see people.

Even if there is, it is a poor person who puts life and death out of the way, anyway, it is better to go back to the village and wait for death.

Along the official road all the way to the north, everything Li Qi and they saw was so suitable for this season.

The early winter is depressed, and the world is also depressed.

Yu Jiuling regretted as he walked, he thought that it would be good if he rode the Condor out, the war horse would definitely be investigated, and the pig was different.

The ban on pig riding is definitely not included in the law.

After he said that, Mr. Ye thought about it and felt that if he really rode the Condor out, it would be a condolence for those soldiers of the Yuzhou Army, and a Condor would be full for a battalion.

Mr. Ye said: "Can you be willing to let the Condor be eaten by those people?" ”

Yu Jiuling immediately said: "That can't be, even if you eat it, you can't be cheap Those bastards, I've been thinking about eating for so long......"

Hearing this, Li Qi's eyes narrowed slightly.

Yu Jiuling vaguely felt a chill, so he hurriedly said: "What is the relationship between me and Brother Diao, Brother Diao is my best friend brother in life and death......"

Zhang Yuxu said to Peng Qiqi very seriously: "See, you are such a person." ”

Peng Qiqi was shocked and resolutely refused to admit it: "Impossible, even if I am ugly and shameless, it is impossible for me to be like this." ”

Yu Jiuling sighed: "The two of you have enemies from this moment. ”

Peng Qiqi said to Zhang Yuxu: "You see, I just said that I can't be this kind of person, my enemy is this kind of person, and I am the opposite of this kind of person, so I am a good person." ”

Zhang Yuxu nodded: "It's not unreasonable. ”

Yu Jiuling said: "Anyway, I am also the veteran of our Yongning Tongyuan Carriage and Horse Travel, as a newcomer, can you have a little respect for me." ”

Zhang Yuxu said: "Maybe...... We respect the tradition of the carriage and horse trade. ”

Yu Jiuling said: "Fart, it has been less than two years since the car and horse shop was built, what is the tradition." ”

Peng Qiqi said cautiously: "That's it..... Yu Jiuling. ”

Yu Jiuling: "......"

Mr. Ye said appreciatively: "People who know how to respect tradition at a young age, no matter how bad they are, how bad can they be." ”

Yu Jiuling: "......"

They walked for more than half a day to Dafang Town, and before the siege of Jizhou began, the people of Dafang Town had already run out.

None of the people in this town dared to stay and wait for death, this place is only dozens of miles away from Jizhou City, and the war is spreading, it is life and death.

After entering the town, Yu Jiuling and the others searched around the shops along the street, horses and other things didn't want to be found, but there were things that were abandoned that could be used.

Li Qi and the others found charcoal, and they could use the pot stove in the store to heat up the dry food before eating.

"Boss."

Peng Qiqi ran in from outside, and said in a somewhat anxious tone: "I found traces of someone living in the backyard of the shop opposite, and I should have just left." ”

Li Qi didn't care at first, it seemed reasonable for someone in Dafang Town to risk staying, after all, everyone had their thoughts

It's not the same.

He followed Peng Qiqi to the opposite shop, most of the tables and chairs in the shop were covered with dust, except for one table and the counter.

"Somebody has lived here for a while."

Yu Jiuling said: "It should be sleeping on the counter." ”

He pointed to the messy footprints in the room: "It's still a woman, her feet are not big, and she is very lazy, so she has wiped it where she sleeps, and she hasn't moved anywhere else." ”

Li Qi looked at it carefully and said: "But it is very lazy, and it can also be said that she is a woman with a clear goal, who does not do useless things, and is unwilling to waste time and energy." ”

Yu Jiuling said: "Have you always spoken for women like this?" ”

Li Qi: "......"

They went to the backyard again, and there were traces of horses' hooves in the backyard, judging that it was two horses, and some scattered weeds.

"A woman, two horses, who have lived here for at least ten days or more."

Li Qi made a judgment based on the thickness of the dust, the number of footprints, and the depth of the horse's hooves.

Yu Jiuling squatted on the ground and looked at the horse manure, and then also made a judgment: "This is new, although it is not hot, but it looks like it was early in the morning, and it may be yesterday." ”

Peng Seventeen said: "I already admire the judgment of the master, and your judgment makes me even more admired." ”

Mr. Ye said unhurriedly beside him: "He is good at this, smelling and distinguishing people." ”

Yu Jiuling: "Mr. Ye, you are also highly respected......

Mr. Ye raised his head and looked at the sky.

"The man should have left this morning."

Li Qi said: "There should be hidden food here before and she found it, so she temporarily lived here, a woman has two horses, and there is nowhere to go, hiding here for more than ten days......"

Li Qi was also a little puzzled for a while, and could only guess that it was probably a woman from the rivers and lakes, wandering alone, avoiding war here.

Anyway, no matter how much they thought about it, they couldn't think of anything, and it didn't have much to do with them, so everyone stopped exploring.

After a short rest, they set out again, walking on their feet alone, and walking for a day and a half to the next place where they might be able to buy mounts, of course they did not want to delay.

Further north of Dafang Town is Gao County, which is a small county, and after being attacked by rebel bandits several times, there is no even a city gate.

There is no yamen in the city for a long time, and the people who remain here have nothing to fear, and they have nothing to rob if they are poor, unless they want their lives.

The city was in ruins, the gates were missing, the city was overgrown with weeds and no one had cleared it, and there were broken houses everywhere.

Uncle Yingying rode into the city, she looked at the sides, and the ragged people hid when they saw her, and subconsciously hid.

There are old people sitting in the corner of the wall and basking greedily in the sun, which is perhaps the only thing they can still covet in the world, and they do not even want to hide in order to covet the sun.

The old people looked at him blankly, the children looked at him curiously, and the adults looked at her with fear.

"Where can I eat?"

Uncle Yingying asked.

No one answered her.

When people saw that she was alone, some men began to lean forward, this place was full of gray earth, only Uncle Yingying was bright, so eye-catching.

After seeing those dirty and smelly men coming to her, Uncle Yingying frowned slightly, took off the crossbow and pointed it at those people, and those people immediately stopped.

They weren't afraid of a woman, they were afraid of the repeater.

The repeater is not something that ordinary people have, and if you provoke a person with a repeater, you may provoke an army, which is already an instinctive reaction of people who are trying to survive in troubled times.

"Find me something to eat."

Uncle Yingying pointed at one of them with a repeater and gave a command, but the man just stepped back step by step and did not respond to her.

So Uncle Yingying felt that she should make an exception, in the past, she only collected money to kill people, and she would not do it if she didn't give money.

She clicked her crossbow

The man was shot in the throat and fell down spurting blood.

So in the colors of this city, it is not only Uncle Yingying who is bright.

"Get something to eat."

Uncle Yingying said it again.

The crowd began to flee in all directions, and even the old man who had made people feel that he had looked down on life and death before, and just wanted to covet some sunshine, had already struggled to get up and ran away with a wooden stick.

Uncle Yingying smiled self-deprecatingly, but this scene was not ridiculous.

She saw a scrawny dog watching her from the corner, with his tail between his legs, and he didn't even dare to bark.

So she shot the old dog with an arrow, and she decided to roast and eat it in a few moments, although it looked disgusting.

She suddenly wondered, these people were so poor and hungry that they didn't eat the dog?

Just as he was thinking, a half-sized young man about fifteen years old who was so dirty that he couldn't see his skin color screamed and ran to the old dog, squatted there, and touched the blood on his hand.

So he went crazy, grabbed a piece and turned his head and rushed towards his uncle Yingying.

It's not that no one wants to eat his dog, whoever wants to eat it, he fights with whomever he wants, and after killing two people, no one dares to eat his dog.

Burst!

A crossbow bolt flew from behind the half-young man, piercing his neck, and the roaring boy fell to the ground, blood slowly pouring out from under him.

He has become another touch of brightness in this gray-brown city.

On the opposite side of Uncle Yingying, a group of cavalry came slowly, they were also gray-brown, dusty.

The dust on everyone's clothes was so thick that it was impossible to see the original color of the clothes, and they covered their faces with scarves of the same taupe, as if to keep the dust out.

There were a lot of people in this team, and when they silently urged the horses forward, there was only the sound of horses' hooves, but they seemed so murderous.

The clothes on these people don't look like those of the Central Plains, and the way they wrap their hair looks like they're from Saibei.

The team stopped about seven or eight feet away from Uncle Yingying, and someone pulled the bow away and aimed at Uncle Yingying.

"You leave your horses, your weapons, your water and your food."

One of the leaders shouted to Uncle Yingying, "It's better to leave your clothes behind, people can go." ”

Uncle Yingying laughed, in such a gray color, the way she smiled did look better.

"You're a woman, too."

Uncle Yingying said to the woman who spoke to her: "So you should know that in such a world, a woman can walk alone, and generally don't provoke, if you provoke, there will be trouble." ”

The woman opposite pulled down the scarf, she looked at her uncle Yingying curiously, and asked after a while, "Then why are you alive?" ”

Without waiting for Uncle Yingying to answer, the woman asked again: "For money?" ”

Uncle Yingying nodded: "Yes." ”

So the woman on the other side took off a bag from the side of the war horse and shook it, and it was full, and it was full of the sound of silver.

She said, "I'll give you money, and you'll help me kill people." ”

Uncle Yingying looked at the team, there were at least a few hundred people, so she asked with some curiosity: "You don't seem to be short of people." ”

The woman replied, "I don't have a lot of people, especially when I'm desperate to kill." ”

Uncle Yingying laughed, a little sarcastic.

She said: "It should be that you have no number of people, and you are not sure to kill the person you want to kill, right?" ”

She raised her hand and clicked at random, and the crossbow hit a lantern that had already been mutilated more than a dozen feet away, and hit the lantern rope, and the broken lantern immediately fell, and fell to the ground with a pop, and it was even more broken.

She said to the woman, "You can't buy me with that little money." ”

The woman opposite was silent for a moment and then said, "Do you have anyone you want to kill?" You helped me, I can help you again. ”

So Uncle Yingying laughed.

She has people she wants to kill.
