After starting from Zhengzhou, Zhu Hao and his entourage did not return to Kaifeng according to the original route, but went south by the way, from Xinzheng and Wei's to Zhuxian Town, and traveled to the old land of ancient Han and Wei and the place where Yue Fei broke the golden soldiers and raised the prestige of the Chinese army.

The area around central Henan has experienced the destruction of the peasant army's war, the economic depression, and the propaganda of the peasant army for many years, the people's hearts are no longer oriented towards the imperial court, the ruling foundation of the landlord class has been crumbling, and there have been scenes of mobs attacking the rich businessmen in many places. Zhu Hao and his entourage solved several bandits who took advantage of the chaos to rob by the way, and they wanted to expand the influence of the new army, but they didn't want to cause some unnecessary trouble.

In the wilderness outside the city of Zhuxian Town, there had just been a spring snowfall, and the land was completely white, and it was snow-covered for thousands of miles. Zhu Hao and the others looked at the ancient battlefield where Yue Fei had fought, imagining the heroic spirit of the Chinese men who were fearless and fought to the end for Baohe Mountain and the alien invaders, and they all sighed.

Zhu Hao and Wang Lang patted their horses and came to the Shahe River, which was already frozen, Zhu Hao remembered the masterpiece Qinyuan Chunlai in later generations, and wanted to sigh, but when he thought that it didn't seem to be suitable here, he laughed at himself.

"Why is the big handsome laughing?" Wang Lang on the side asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm thinking, this river looks unusually calm on the surface, but under the ice surface is an undercurrent, and the killing machine is hidden, like the current pattern of the world."

"Yes, in such troubled times, the rich and noble families can't save their lives, let alone ordinary people, and their lives are like mustard." Wang Lang also sighed.

Zhu Hao was just about to say something, when he turned around and caught a glimpse of Li Dong not far away, stomping his feet, as if he was not cold, and said with a smile: "Dongzi, you and everyone go back to the city first, and I will go back in a while." ”

"How can this be, how can the handsome man stay outside for a long time when he is alone?" Liu Fangze said that he was conscientious about protecting Zhu Hao's safety.

"It's okay, you see the snow here is everywhere, no one is around, even if someone sneaks up, I have time to rush back, you guys go back first, I didn't expect a sudden heavy snowfall, the winter clothes are not prepared enough, and everyone is frozen enough."

"This..." Liu Fangze looked at Liu Maozong, who was fighting a cold war, and was embarrassed.

"You don't believe in my skills? Besides, don't I still have a pistol with me, so I can't just fire a warning shot, so let's go back. Zhu Hao smiled.

"Alright then, I'll stay, let them all go back, that's it." After speaking, Liu Fangze didn't wait for Zhu Hao to say more, so he rushed over to inform the other guards.

Zhu Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head, Liu's uncle and nephew were indeed conscientious about their own security work, which made him feel a warm current in his heart.

"Sir, go back too, I'm here alone thinking about something."

"Okay, I'll go back first, and the handsome man will come back early, you must know that the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, this place is not the same as before." Wang Lang was not hypocritical, and after a few words of advice, he patted the horse back.

When the guards heard Liu Fangze's order, they all wanted to stay, but they were afraid of disappointing Zhu Hao's intentions, so they walked back slowly one by one.

In the entire wilderness, only Zhu Hao and Liu Fangze were left with two horses, standing in the middle.

Zhu Hao pondered for a while, slowly walked to the riverbank, looked up at the vast river, and suddenly an extreme uneasiness surged into his heart, just about to retreat, he heard a loud sound, a sharp arrow with the sound of breaking the sky went straight to his front door, fortunately he was already alert, and he turned his head to dodge at the last moment, but the arrow still grazed his shoulder, bringing up a piece of flesh and blood, and he frowned in pain. Liu Fangze, who was not far away, also discovered this scene, and almost lost his soul, and hurriedly flew over.

"Dog officer, take your life!" With a coquettish shout, under the snow on the river, seven or eight white figures suddenly jumped out, all rushing towards Zhu Hao, and it was difficult to discern the situation in a short moment.

Seeing that several assassins rushed towards him, Zhu Hao didn't think about it, he pulled out his pistol and fired two shots in a row, knocking the two to the ground at once, and the rest of the assassins didn't expect that he still had the firearm he was carrying, and they were all stunned, taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Hao slapped his horse and wanted to run away, joking, his pistol could only fire two shots and turned into scrap metal, seeing that these assassins were clearly masters, he didn't have the confidence to clean them up with his bare hands.

Liu Fangze, who ran over there, also hurriedly released two shots, knocked down the two assassins, drew his sword and pounced. Although he practiced kung fu in his hands, he also dabbled in a lot of weapons, and he was blue, and his attainments in swordsmanship were much higher than that of the old man Liu Zhenshan, and he was already close to Luo Yunqu's skills.

The remaining two Assassins reported this, and a slender Assassin shouted, "Their firecrackers can only be put twice, hurry up!" While brandishing his sword, he rushed towards Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao knew that this was a woman when he heard it, why did his voice sound good? I don't know what it looks like. At the moment of life and death, this guy is still concerned about the appearance of others, and the nature of the hooligan is exposed!

Hand-to-hand combat riding is disadvantageous. Liu Fangze, who was over there, had already dismounted and fought with two of the assassins, and it was a draw. Here, Zhu Hao was indeed forced to jump up and down by the remaining two assassins.

It's not that he can't do martial arts, but the martial arts of these two assassins are significantly higher than the two who fought with Liu Fangze, and Zhu Hao is unarmed, the other party's two swords are indeed cold and shining, and the moves are not far from Zhu Hao's whole body, if it weren't for the fact that he has also practiced martial arts for many years, his martial arts have been slightly successful, and he has already become a ghost under the sword, even so, he has been stabbed three times, fortunately, they are all flesh wounds, and they have not hurt the vital point, but without more than a dozen moves, his life will be difficult to protect.

Liu Fangze was so anxious that he couldn't do it, but he couldn't get rid of the two people in front of him, and these two people seemed to have strict training in hand-to-hand combat, and any person fighting alone was not his opponent, but the cooperation between the two was indeed multiplied. The sword light is vertical and horizontal, and Liu Fangze, who is forced, has no time to take care of anything else.

After a few more moves, Zhu Hao hit another sword, seeing that the form was severe, Zhu Hao was in a hurry, and with a vertical leap, he jumped over the horse and ran towards the river, where there was the sword that the assassin who had been killed before fell to the ground, and the two assassins glanced at each other, jumped up at the same time, jumped over the war horse and chased him.

After such a delay, Zhu Hao had already jumped out of their encirclement, picked up a sword one by one, and danced wildly, protecting his whole body, and forcing the two people who were chasing him back. But he also knew that even if he had weapons, he would not be able to defeat the two assassins, unless he fought with his hands, and he was still sure of victory.

Liu Fangze saw that Zhu Hao was in a bitter fight again, but he was getting more and more urgent, his swordsmanship accidentally revealed a flaw, he was hit by a sword in his leg, and when he stumbled, a white light was already approaching his chest, so he could only close his eyes and wait for death.

Just then, a gunshot was heard, and a hole was punched in the snow beneath the assassin's feet, causing a flurry of snowflakes. The assassin was startled, his hand shook, the sword slanted slightly, and he brushed Liu Fangze's flank, drawing a long blood mark, Liu Fangze took advantage of the situation to roll and get out of the realm of death. Turning his head, a few hundred meters behind, dozens of knights were desperately moving closer here, it was Zhu Hao's personal guard, and he was suddenly overjoyed.

Zhu Hao on this side was also in high spirits, and a sword was waved in an airtight airtight, separating the two assassins.

Seeing that the assassination operation was a failure, the female assassin who took the lead shouted: "I'll stop him and make a special move." ”

Zhu Hao was concentrating on the guard, when another assassin suddenly withdrew his sword, took out an oilcloth bag from his arms, took out a fire fold, and lit a rope of the cloth bag.

"It's broken, it's gunpowder!" As soon as he heard the sound of sneering, Zhu Hao, who had been playing with guns all year round, understood that this was the sound of the gunpowder fuse being ignited, and immediately shouted: "Fang Ze, get out of the way, they have gunpowder." ”

Before he could finish speaking, the Assassin had already thrown the bag of gunpowder into the river!

Before he had time to think about it, Zhu Hao just pounced on the tiger, and then there was a loud bang, and the huge shock wave instantly shook him out more than a foot away, and there was a rumbling sound of the ice breaking in his ears, and he immediately fell unconscious.

I don't know how long it took to be groggy, my body was surrounded by severe pain and cold, Zhu Hao seemed to be in a strange cage furnace, half of it was a furnace, half of it was an ice cellar, and the freezing fire roasted him, which made him extremely uncomfortable, his body could not move, he was extremely weak, as if he was in hell, if he didn't still retain a trace of clarity in his mind, he really wanted to open his eyes when he was dead, but as soon as he exerted his strength, his head hurt sharply, and he fainted again.

Zhu Hao, who was in a coma, suddenly felt that the cold on his body disappeared a little, and was replaced by a burst of sun-like warmth, as if he was bathing in a hot soup, and the severe pain in his body also decreased a lot.

Zhu Hao, who was enjoying this warmth, suddenly felt something wet on his face, and couldn't help but be startled, his mind suddenly woke up, and he opened his heavy eyelids hard, and what greeted him was a strange face, a big tongue was licking his face, damn it, what is this?

The owner of the face mask was startled when he saw the creature in front of him suddenly open his eyes, and he jumped far away and disappeared.

Zhu Hao struggled to raise his hand and touch his face, opened his eyes again, and found that the sun was hanging in the sky, and the warm sunlight shone on his body and hands warmly and comfortably. I suddenly thought about it, and it was a little funny, the face just now was clearly a deer!

If you don't move, the bones in your body seem to be scattered, and Zhu Hao struggled for a long time before he could barely stand up and look around at the surrounding environment.

It turned out that I was in a valley, which seemed to be unaffected by the cold environment outside, and the grass and trees were all green, warm as spring. In the middle of the valley there is a hot spring that is a few feet square, and a deep stream flows into it, and it is no wonder that I am soaking in this hot spring from the chest down.

Looking at his already swollen body, Zhu Hao didn't dare to continue to be nostalgic, and reluctantly dragged his heavy body to crawl out, leaning on a piece of bluestone to nourish his spirit.

Shaking his head vigorously, Zhu Hao felt his body and found that he was just sore and weak, but fortunately there were no internal injuries. It seems that the explosives used by the assassins were of limited quality, and they dodged in time, and the steel wire soft armor they wore was made of heavy gold, so they did not take a heavy hit.

Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a few broken wild fruits on the grass next to me, guessing that they were left by the animals in the valley, and I didn't want to eat them, but as soon as I saw the food, my stomach shook the sky, and in desperation, I picked up these wild fruits, wiped them casually, and devoured them.

There is food in the stomach, strength and spirit have also recovered a little, Zhu Hao has been able to slowly stand up with the stone, and looked at his body, the wounds have healed, no longer bleeding, it seems that this hot spring still has the effect of healing wounds, it is really lucky.
