Driving !!!

The rain was continuous, the official road was muddy, and the sound of horses' hooves leaped by, raising pieces of mud.

"Lord, there is a dilapidated village ahead!"

Huang Zhong suddenly reined in his horse and bowed his hand to Mu Jing: "The rain is getting heavier and heavier, it's better to avoid it for the time being!" ”

"Good!"

Mu Jing took the reins of the horse, looked up at the front, and looked at the dim sky, which was still a patch in the morning, but now it has gradually turned into a light rain, such a day is not suitable for rushing.

This time, he went north to Xinye, and it was personally guarded by the Modao Battalion.

The Modao battalion fought in Longzhong, played a prestige, and was almost disabled, although the burial river was prepared for a long time, but under the collision of the river, some seriously injured never survived.

Today, there are less than 400 soldiers left in Modao.

Moreover, there are already hundreds of wounded generals, and this time the escort Mu Jing came out, and it was the remaining three hundred main forces.

Three hundred Mo sword soldiers, as long as they don't encounter a big enemy, they are enough to be invincible.

Around Xiangyang, there are not many soldiers and horses at present, and the only thing to worry about is Cai Yang's Deng Long Department, but Deng Long's Department is stared at by Zhang Liao and can't move, so Mu Jing's safety doesn't need to be too worried.

When they entered the village hundreds of meters in front, the Modao Battalion scouts checked it and found that it was an abandoned village, in the troubled times, it seems that there are countless abandoned villages like this, some others slaughtered the door overnight, and some fled in all directions, which is why it is better to be a peaceful dog than to leave people in chaos.

Born in troubled times, life is not up to others.

Entering the village, the Modao camp was divided into three parts, and the front and rear were on guard.

This time, Chen Sheng, the captain of the Modao Battalion, did not come, he fought in Longzhong and was wounded, and he also needed to reorganize the Modao Battalion, restore the establishment of Modao 800 soldiers, and select elite soldiers from various departments, there were many things, and there was no time to follow the north.

It was the adjutant general Huo Ping who led the troops to escort it.

"A few of you, put the scouts five miles away, especially in this kind of sky, but anyone who approaches must be careful!"

Huo Ping commanded.

"No!"

More than ten Mo sword soldiers came out from all directions.

Mu Jing and Huang Zhong entered a well-preserved room, and after they walked in, they took off their robes and built a bonfire in the middle to keep warm.

"How is Hansheng's health?" Mu Jing broke a few wooden branches and threw them into the bonfire, and then asked Huang Zhong beside him.

Although he didn't think that he would be in any danger on this trip, he was leaving Xiangyang after all, and there was no army around him, and if Huang Zhong was not by his side, he would have no bottom in his heart.

"I'm out of the way!"

Huang Zhong said with a smile: "It's not an internal injury, it's just some sword trauma, I'm in good health, I just lost too much blood before, and I was relatively weak, but now I've been recuperated for a few days, and I've recovered, and the wound is about to scar, and it will heal soon!" ”

"Uncle, don't be careless!"

Zhang Ning found a pot, hung it on the bonfire, and after boiling water, he put a few pieces of dry food pastry on his body into it and cooked it, and when she heard Huang Zhong's words, she spoke: "Some of the wounds on your body are relatively deep, if they burst, it will be very troublesome, and if you raise them in the future, you will also leave troubles, in fact, I don't recommend letting him pull you up, you should be allowed to recuperate, but he has to say that without you by his side, he lacks a sense of security!" ”

"The lord trusts him, and he is fortunate to have it!"

Huang Zhong has been a soldier for decades, a small soldier, a ranger, since he followed the Mu family, he has been dead, one is the weight, the other is trust, the weight is an appreciation, the learned literature and martial arts, sold to the emperor's family, appreciated, is a kind of ability, as for trust, that is to make him grateful.

"I'm not wrong!" Mu Jing pursed his lips and said to Zhang Ning: "Just your little trick, it's not enough to protect yourself, and if you want to, I can't sleep well without Hansheng by my side!" ”

"Why don't we have a fight?" Zhang Ning glared.

"Good men don't fight women!"

Mu Jing was stunned for a moment, this woman has good talent and strong martial arts, although they seem to have similar realms, but if they really fight, ten moves can solve themselves.

He also practiced martial arts very hard.

However, qualifications are limited.

If you are fighting with a dragon lance in hand, it will last for a quarter of an hour at most, and you will already be out of it.

In this small village, they hid from the rain for two hours, and then the rain in the world gradually became smaller, but it never rained, and it was still cloudy, as if it was pouring rain at any time.

"Keep on your way!"

Mu Jing didn't have time to spend it here now, so he turned over and got on his horse: "Before evening, rush to Lishui!" ”

"No!"

The generals took orders and hurried frantically.

Finally, in the evening, I entered the southern suburbs of Xinye, more than 30 miles away in a Lishui Township city.

This small adobe city has only a few adobe walls, and there are not many households, and because of the previous war, countless people were involved, and now there are very few people in the rural city, and the few are pitiful.

"Lord!"

Deng Zhi has already gone north two days early, he is the patriarch of the Xinye Deng clan, the Deng family is the Xinye wealthy family, even if there has been a decline over the years and the influence is extraordinary, with him, it can be regarded as finding a way out for Mujing.

"Would you like to see me?" Mu Jing Lerma asked.

"He's already waiting in the city!" Deng Zhi replied: "He seems to be a little impatient, does the lord need to see him now!" ”

"It's getting dark!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "Rushing to meet the rain, there is a lot of inconvenience, I need to take a bath and rest, see you tomorrow!" ”

"I have set up a house in the city, please move in!"

"Hmm!"

……

In a house in the middle of the city.

"Did Mu Longtu really go north in person?" Lei Bo knelt down and asked.

"Deng Zhi has already picked him up!"

The guard said.

"Can you bring him to the meeting?" Chen Lan next to him asked.

"Not really!" The guard who inquired about the news said.

"Captain, it seems that he won't see us for the time being!" Chen Lan sneered: "Do you need me to bring troops to arrest him?" ”

"It's okay!"

Lei Bo waved his hand: "After all, he went north in person, which can be regarded as sincere, if he doesn't come to see him, then wait!" ”

"Lord Duwei, since Mu Longtu has personally gone north, why don't you meet in Xinye, but choose this poor country, it won't be calculating us!" Chen Lan was puzzled.

"Not so calculating!"

Lei Bo said: "We have the same position now, at this time he calculates us, the gains outweigh the losses, I deal with him, and I also make enemies for no reason, so we still have a little trust in each other, as for choosing Lishui instead of Xinye, that's because Xinye has too many eyeliners, and he doesn't want to take the lead!" ”

He saw the situation in Nanyang very clearly.

Now that he is alone, even Runan can't take care of him, Mu Jing took the initiative to contact him, but gave him a way to choose, no matter what, he always wants to see Mu Jing.

……

Following.

Early morning.

The two met on a two-story wooden building in Lishui City.

"I have admired the name of Minghou for a long time, and I have lost my welcome!"

Lei Bo took the initiative to salute.

"Hahaha!"

Mu Jing is also very hearty: "The name of Captain Lei, I have also been famous for a long time, when I see it today, it is a brave general, no wonder my herdsman army has suffered countless losses in the hands of Captain Du over the years!" ”

"Minghou, this is a joke for me!"

Lei's thin eyes flickered slightly.

Over the years, he and the herdsmen have fought in Nanyang, winning fewer victories and losing more, and losing the battle again and again, even making Yuan Shu a little dissatisfied, if it weren't for the sudden change of generals to Nanyang, I'm afraid Yuan Shu would have already changed generals.

"I'm telling the truth!" Mu Jing said calmly: "Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can survive a hundred battles, we must be familiar with Lei Duwei, Lei Duwei's marching strategy, and his ability to control troops, a certain Du is quite admired!" ”

"It's too much!"

Lei Boming knew that Mu Jing was flattering himself, but he still felt good in his heart, he took a deep breath, and then asked: "This time Minghou went north, I'm afraid he didn't come to play, I don't know what is going on, a certain family can help one or two!" ”

"Hahaha!" Mu Jing laughed: "Lei Duwei is confused with understanding, why did I go north, Lei Duwei doesn't know in his heart!" ”

"I really don't know!"

Lei Bo said softly: "Minghou is mighty, the herding army is like a bamboo, and now it has broken Xiangyang, and then it will be indomitable, attacking Jingzhou, at this time Minghou suddenly went north, I really can't figure it out!" ”

"It's not that you can't figure it out, it's that you don't dare to think about it!" Mu Jing said: "Then I'll be honest, this time I went north, and I came to form an alliance with Lei Duwei!" ”

"Align with me?" Lei Bo squinted slightly: "My lord and Minghou are enemies who do not share the same sky!" ”

"So I'm not going to ally with him!"

Mu Jing said lightly: "What I want to form an alliance with is just Lei Duwei, I can't watch Nanyang lose it, and Lei Duwei is in a difficult situation now, I can only retreat to the new wild land, and the grain is almost exhausted, we can form an alliance to protect Nanyang!" ”
