Some people's hearts are changeable, and they are unrecognizable in the first five years, and there are also people's hearts that are like water, and they have walked 108,000 miles, and their original intentions have not changed. - "The Legend of Tsing Yi"

The bonfire was crackling and dancing in the dark night, blazing, bright, and warm.

The merchants around the campfire were aimless, staring blankly at the orange flames, no one making a sound, no one yelling, just sitting quietly, their faces filled with contemplation and reminiscence.

Xiang Zhuang had already put away the unfinished picture scroll, leaning on the small bookcase made of his green bamboo, playing with the carefully polished ceramic teacup in his hand, frowning and distracted.

The situation in the imperial capital is ups and downs, ups and downs, originally which mighty general He Jin is already a person who has lost power in his eyes, and his death is coming, I thought that this powerful general would run out of gas after the bloody battle with the princes of the north in Shanhaiguan, but he didn't expect that the injured lion would suddenly change after returning to the land of Sanfu in the imperial capital.

After the mighty general He Jin led the remnants of the army to flee to the imperial capital Sanfu, he broke through the city defense and occupied the land of Sanfu.

Instead, let it go, so those iron-blooded armorers who had just survived a vicious battle had already changed their appearance, and after seeing that the boss did not stop it, they intensified and turned the dignified imperial capital Sanfu Anointing Land into a purgatory on earth.

The people of the land of Sanfu looked at the soldiers under the command of He Jin like evil ghosts in the world, and they longed for everyone to eat their flesh and drink their blood, and they were punished, and the screams of the old and young women and children in the city were incessant for three days, and how could the crimes of those soldiers be recorded on a thin piece of paper.

"He Jin is obviously a beast of the end of the road, the attitude of the imperial capital family is ambiguous, the royal family is weak, but it is also powerless to prevent the princes of the world from rising together, the princes in the north sharpen their knives and Huo Huo soldiers are coming to the city, Wanzhou Youzhou has changed the sky together, and Qingzhou, which has always been stable, is also constantly moving, and the grassland people are afraid that they have been eyeing each other for a long time."

Xiang Zhuang's face was dim in the dim firelight, and he only muttered to himself in his heart, his brows tightened.

"The troubled times have really come, the heroes are competing for the deer!"

Just when Xiang Zhuang's eyes were filled with emotion, he only heard a terrible whistle that broke the silence of the night, and the whistling sound was lightning from far to near, it was already close to the ears, and the people sitting around the bonfire were already in chaos.

"It's a crossbow bolt!"

"There are enemies!"

Xiang Zhuang's eyes became extremely sharp, and he could already tell what the whistle was coming from, his body was extremely vigorous, and he rolled out of the bonfire with the bamboo box behind him with one hand, he wanted to cover his figure in the dim night.

I saw that after Xiang Zhuang turned over and left the bonfire and lay down to look at the nearby movements, there was a "bang" sound from the pile of burning bonfires in front of him, and in an instant, sparks rose in the sky.

"Ahh Wu Shisan's eyes were the sharpest, and he screamed miserably, and he crawled backwards with his hands and feet in a panic.

It turned out that the spark in the middle of the fire was a carved arrow made of fine iron, and the arrow was burning at this time.

The guards were really stunned this time, and they were terrified.

This would definitely not be the self-disturbance of the other guards, because the momentum of the arrow was tightly attached to Wu Shisan's forehead, as long as the iron arrow deviated a little more, Wu Shisan's skull had already been pierced by an arrow at this time.

The frightened and angry guards drew their swords and stood guard, but the old man at the head had steady eyes but could not see the slightest panic, and his body jumped up like a jackal and flew up to extinguish the fire.

The enemy is in the dark, they are in the light, and in this case there is only one way to die when exposed to arrows.

"If you want to die, try again!" A deep murmur came from the darkness.

The old man, who was about to leap out, obediently retracted his leg in mid-air after hearing the low shout.

He was not afraid of the low drink, but with the order of the drink, the second arrow fired in the darkness flew against the boot on his foot, and the wind that the arrow carried on it seemed to cut his leg.

The figures of everyone around the fire froze, some of the knives were half out of their sheaths and were on guard, some were holding their heads and looking around, and some were dodging to pounce on the side of the cart to hide, but after hearing that low shout, they all became puppets in an instant, and they did not dare to move, and the pestle remained in place.

Wu Shisan was already frightened by the first crossbow arrow at this time, and this was the second time he felt the clear sense of death tonight.

When he realized that the first arrow in the darkness almost killed him, he immediately fell to his knees and raised his hands above the top, and before he could bow down and cry for mercy, he had to hear a low cry and be stunned.

In the dead silence, Xiang Zhuang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he looked around for a long time and suddenly chuckled.

Wu Shisan was facing him, kneeling on his knees and raising his hands to the sky, as if he was sincerely bowing to his ancestors during the ancestral sacrifice, but the two eyes on his face were nervous and frightened.

Xiang Zhuang felt the breeze blowing in his face, which was the direction of the downwind, and then he saw the torches not far away burning one by one in the dead darkness, and after a while, those merchants also found that they were completely surrounded by enemies.

But it was undoubtedly wise not to resist at first, and the number of the other party was at least fifty or more, all of them were one man and one horse, and they were extremely fierce.

The eyes of the guards were full of anxiety, and they were all thinking of getting out of trouble, but they couldn't think of anything for a while, the opponent was an expert in night raids, the wind was approaching, and the smell and sound were carried away by the breeze, presumably the horses' hooves must have been wrapped up and dismounted and walked, so they didn't make the slightest sound, so that the guards who had always been merchants did not notice it.

In the face of such an enemy, no one dares to joke with their lives.

In the darkness, a pale blue flag emerged from the darkness, and on the flag was a white wolf roaring in the sky, and on the white wolf, there was a black crow with an extraordinary black body, Xiang Zhuang looked at the flag thoughtfully, and at this moment, the other party scattered the formation and forced up.

The enemy has more than 100 horsemen, everyone is wearing armor, the long knife in his hand is like a pool of clear water, the other crossbow arrows on his waist are flashing with cold brilliance, their clothes and armor are the same, the people and horses are covered with light armor, the whole body is black, every armor soldier is masked and does not look real, but the body is thin and lean, and there is a smell of beasts in the eyes exposed.

The leader of the armor rode a jujube red horse, the head of the horse could be more than a foot higher than the Donglu horse, and Xiang Zhuang could tell at a glance that it was an authentic Hokuriku species.

The armor warrior at the head seemed to chew incessantly, the lines of the light armor covering his face slowly vibrated slowly, and he carried a horned bow in his big and strong hand.

Undoubtedly, the two crossbow arrows that were extremely accurate just now were shot from the big bow with horns in his hand.

"The adults of the Raven Army?"

When the merchant led by the leader saw the flag again, a beating heart fell back to the same place, and he smiled flatteringly and stepped forward to talk.
