Out of Bianliang City, leaving the official road and the main road, Zong Shu went to a desolate place.

After walking for a while, Zong Shu asked Li Shaoyan to lead the way.

The countryside in the north is particularly quiet in winter, and the lively Bianliang City is simply two worlds.

It was not yet dark, and we had already reached the junction of the plains and the mountains.

There is a small village with about 20 courtyards, all adobe houses and stone courtyard walls.

There was still snow on the roof and the stacks of firewood, and in the dusk sunset, several old people stood in front of the firewood gate, waiting for the shepherd boy who returned late.

Bursts of cooking smoke rose in puffs of smoke, and the white smoke was like a crooked horn, and finally drifted into the air.

"Zong Shu, why don't we stay in this village? I'm a little hungry. Li Shaoyan said.

"Don't say much, this time it came out, it's only seventy miles. Back then, Huo Qu was sick and chased the Huns, and there were no villages in the prairie and desert, how did he survive? ”

Zong Shu disagreed.

"After this village, the only place suitable for staying is Chaohua Village, I heard that Chaohua Village has gathered a lot of thieves." Li Shaoyan said.

Zong Shu turned his head and said with a smile: "Then let's go to Chaohua Village to have a look, in case there is any treasure." ”

"The strongman is coming, the strongman is coming." Suddenly there was a shout from the village.

A few shepherd boys riding on the back of the oxen drove the cattle home, and many adults ran out of the village, quickly hid the cattle and closed the courtyard door.

Judging by the reaction of this village, it seems that it is often frequented by strongmen.

Not far away, more than a dozen horses actually galloped, and the horseback rider's skills were extremely skillful.

No, Da Song is so short of horses, these little thieves can get horses! This technique is several grades higher than that of the forbidden army.

The thieves in Chaohua Village are really strong, no wonder Zong Yi and Lin Lingsu have repeatedly reminded themselves to be careful.

The group of people who rushed was divided into two groups, the front group was only three or five people, and the back group had more than a dozen.

Because of the backlight, Zong Shu couldn't see it clearly. But it can be heard that what this group of people are shouting is not a Da Song accent.

There's also a female voice in it.

This voice is very familiar, it seems to be Xiao Xiaoxiao's voice!

Zong Shu hunched his waist and flashed behind a big rock, and Li Shaoyan followed suit.

Between chasing and fleeing, the two groups immediately arrived at the front.

Zong Shu just wanted to shout, but immediately covered his mouth, isn't this Xiao Xiaoxiao?

Xiao Xiaoxiao rode on his horse, turning his head to shoot arrows while galloping forward. The four men around him were the ones Zong Shu had seen in the Liao people's residence.

Rural roads are narrow and allow only one horse to pass.

A man rode in front, Xiao Xiaoxiao followed, and two men followed in low blocks of the pursuing enemy.

The person chasing Xiao Xiaoxiao is not someone else, it is the little prince of Jin Guo and Wan Yanping, the princess of Jin Guo.

No wonder, the Liao people who sent the little golden eagle to Zong Shu that day were in such a hurry, they should have encountered danger at that time.

When you encounter danger, don't forget to send yourself a bird to play! This affection made Zong Shu's blood surge suddenly.

When Zong Shu rushed out from behind the stones, the group of people had already galloped past.

Following the shouts and horseshoe prints, Zong Shu chased after him, and Li Shaoyan also followed closely.

Li Shaoyan ran too slowly, or exercised too little. Zong Shu rushed over and put on his backpack for Li Shaoyan.

As soon as Zong Shu arrived at the intersection, he found three horses lying on the ground neighing, one of which was bleeding, obviously not an arrow wound, but a slash.

This is Xiao Xiao's horse! Xiao Xiaoxiao may have been killed!

Zong Shu stomped his feet with regret, why didn't he come out from behind the stone earlier just now?

Further on, the trail has come to an end, full of potholes and rocky hills, where horses are no longer of much use.

On the rocky hill, the Jin people formed a circle, and Xiao Xiaoxiao and the two Liao people were tied up by the five flowers. The other two Liao people leaned over the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Zong Shu finally let go, as long as he didn't die, there was hope.

Think about Xiao Xiaoxiao, it's really pitiful, the Liao State is losing and retreating on the battlefield, the Jin State is pressing forward step by step, and now he is being chased and killed by the prince and princess of Jin.

Jin Guoren kicked Zong Shu's head, and it was Xiao Xiaoxiao who saved himself.

Zong Shu didn't care how many grievances there were between Liao and Song in the past, no matter what the cost was today, no matter how much it cost, he had to save Xiao Xiaoxiao.

Zong Shu whispered his thoughts to Li Shaoyan, Li Shaoyan trembled excitedly, today's meeting was too exciting.

Isn't this the battlefield you've always longed for? The first time I came out, I encountered a battle between the Jin State and the Liao State, although the scale was a little smaller.

Of course, Li Shaoyan also knows the prince and princess Wan Yanping, but he has never seen Xiao Xiaoxiao.

The little prince of Jin Guo instructed his subordinates to go to the village to find some firewood and make a fire here.

Some of the Jin people were looking for firewood, some were setting up tents, and some were going to gather horses, and it seems that the Jin people did not leave, and spent the night here.

Looking at their posture, they didn't intend to hurt Xiao Xiaoxiao, if they wanted to kill her, they would have done it a long time ago, there was no need to tie it up.

Thinking of this, Zong Shu was not in a hurry.

If you make a rash move, not only will you not be able to save Xiao Xiaoxiao, but you may also be able to put yourself and Li Shaoyan into it.

After setting up the tent, several people unloaded a slaughtered sheep from their horses and took out the iron rack, which seemed to be the golden man's dinner.

After a while, there was a cry from the village, and several golden men came over with wooden planks and put them down, and walked towards the village again.

Jin Ren is really unreasonable, it's good for you to grab some firewood, how to dismantle other people's door panels?

The village looks dilapidated, you tear down the door, how can the family live?

Zong Shu's heart moved, and he made a gesture to Li Shaoyan to keep up, and touched the village with his waist bent.

Seeing the courtyard that was smoking just now, Zong Shu jumped in, and Li Shaoyan also jumped, but he rode on the courtyard wall and screamed a few times, because this guy was stuck.

Others are taking too big a stride and pulling the egg. Li Shaoyan's stride is too small, and the egg is stuck.

Several Jin people who had entered the village heard movement here, and saw a strangely dressed person, and immediately ran towards this side.

One of the golden men bent their bows and arrows, and with a whoosh, the arrow just grazed Li Shaoyan's throat.

If it weren't for Zong Shula Li Shaoyan just now, he would have died a long time ago.

Zong Shu pulled Li Shaoyan and ran into the black rumbling kitchen, reached into the stove, and touched a few handfuls on an unburned pot.

Touched his face again. Li Shaoyan was stunned, and Zong Shu smeared the pot ash on Li Shaoyan's face again.

Soon, the faces of the two were no longer visible, only the eyes and teeth were white, and everything else was blackened by soot.

Li Shaoyan thought to himself, although this appearance is a little scary, can it scare Jin people away?

The golden man had already entered the courtyard, one searching for the strange man he had just seen, and the other began to dismantle the door panel.

A golden man with a bow and arrows in his hand and a scimitar in his hand went into the kitchen.

As soon as the golden man entered, a gust of wind swept over, and his head was deflected, and a burning stick smashed into his shoulder.

Li Shaoyan stood on the ground, thinking that he would take advantage of the darkness and knock Jin Ren unconscious with a stick, but Jin Ren was so alert that he dodged the fatal blow.

The golden man shouted, raised his scimitar and slashed.

Zong Shu hurriedly stood in front of Li Shaoyan and said, "Bold Golden Dog, how dare you kill an unarmed person?" ”

Li Shaoyan was dizzy, and pulled Zong Shu, it's all at this time, and it's still good to talk about it?
