Gao Feng felt very depressed, it was the first time that Nan Ying had told him the meaning of these two words, and he felt very depressed. 10 days ago, he took ten of his highly skilled subordinates out of the mountain with Nanying, originally thinking that he was carrying out some secret mission, but they were all full of fighting spirit and pride. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of the mountain, Nanying announced that the first destination of the trip was Luoyang, and he was not allowed to ask about the specific task, and at the same time, he had to travel in a special training way along the way.

The first kind of special training is to survive in the wild, Gao Feng and other 11 people have to independently climb dozens of miles of mountainous areas without any help, without drinking water and dry food, and the training time is three days.

The first day was fine, everyone relied on their physical strength, and they were equipped with martial arts, and they overcame thorns and thorns along the way, but they also coped calmly, and they ran nearly half of the mountain road in one day. The next day the trouble came, first of all, the stomach was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, and then the throat was dry and on fire, and the strength was gradually exhausted, and everyone realized that they couldn't care about hurrying anymore, and began to forage for food and water everywhere, and soon an unlucky boy was forced to withdraw from training because he drank sewage and vomited and diarrhea. Then another boy was hungry and went up to the tree to dig out birds' eggs, but he was so dizzy from hunger that he accidentally twisted his leg.

Nanying had already prepared, he had been studying medical skills with "Dragon" for a long time, and he was already very accomplished, and he picked a few handfuls of herbs to cure them, and after a bad scolding, he ordered the two of them to support each other and follow up slowly.

On the third day, however, the fun was greater, two fainted due to thirst, one was bitten by a poisonous snake, and the others were also like remnants of the defeated army, staggering from side to side, only Gao Feng gritted his teeth and suffered a few miles away from the mountain, and finally exhausted, none of the 11 people completed the training.

Nan Ying first dealt with the snake venom with first aid, and then woke up the fainted person with clear water, seeing that everyone was covered with dust, tears, and tattered clothes, he looked like beggars, so he had to let everyone rest in place. After a day, everyone slowly recovered, and the person bitten by the snake was able to act as usual because of the speed of Nanying's treatment.

Nanying spent another day teaching everyone many skills such as lighting fires, foraging, finding water, staying overnight, watching the sky, first aid, etc., and personally practiced them once, which made everyone wake up like a dream, breathtaking, and 5 days have passed.

Considering that everyone's physical exertion was too great and there were a few injured people, Nanying simply stayed in the mountains and arranged for the second training to be sign language, which finally gave everyone another day of respite.

Seeing that everyone was pardoned, Nan Ying couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that he was in a bit of a hurry, so he arranged a third training----- reconnaissance skills training.

This reconnaissance skills training is not too physically demanding, but it is a profound science, including many techniques such as listening, capture, calculation, appearance camouflage, concealment of odors, etc., plus the sign language taught before, can be used in a coordinated manner.

Although Gao Feng and the others were fascinated by what they listened to, they were able to grasp it all for a while, they all remembered the front but forgot the back, their heads were as big as a fight, and they made a lot of jokes.

This time, Nanying is no longer accommodating, as long as one person makes a mistake, the whole team will be punished collectively, and everyone will do 200 push-ups at a time. Under the bitterness of the people, they had to supervise each other closely.

After another 5 days, Nanying finally announced that the whole team was barely qualified and could go out of the mountain.

Everyone looked at the mountains behind them, thinking back on the tragic encounters of the past 10 days, and they all felt like they had escaped, but they didn't know that they had been reborn from the inside out.

However, the happy time is always short-lived, after everyone walked for several miles, Nanying announced the start of testing the training results, everyone disguised and lurked within ten steps on both sides of the official road, the method is not limited, the time is half a day, anyone who is found by passers-by will be "played alive"!

Some people dig holes in the ground and sneak into it, some people climb trees and hide in the branches and leaves, some people are covered with dead branches and rotten leaves lying in the deep grass, and the most amazing thing is that a child jumps into a stinky pond, and his whole body sinks in the water, and he only breathes with a reed tube in his mouth. In short, it didn't take a while, and there was no trace of a living person on the side of the road.

Gao Feng hid in a haystack not far from the roadside, and after a long time, he gradually felt difficult to breathe, and his hands and feet were sore, but when he thought of Nanying's endless methods of rectification, he dared to move a little.

Gao Feng was depressed in his heart, but Nanying is very happy now, although these boys have a slightly poor adaptability, they are all strong and healthy, and have a martial arts foundation, the most rare thing is that they are all active, they can draw inferences from one another, many whimsical ideas even Nanying is secretly admired in his heart.

He leaned comfortably under a big tree, closed his eyes slightly, and held a fresh grass root in his mouth, and couldn't help but think that maybe one day these boys could surpass him.

A slight tremor came from under him, and Nan Ying immediately bounced up like an ape, closed his eyes and ears to the ground, but his mind clearly outlined the image of dozens of horses galloping from miles away.

After he let out a sharp birdsong of two long and one short, he quickly climbed the big tree beside him and hid his figure, which was his secret signal to Gao Feng and others to "stay in place and not act rashly".

After a while, about 70 horsemen rushed from afar, Nanying looked at it with full strength, and was slightly surprised in his heart, these people were all carrying swords and hanging bows, most of them were dressed in strange costumes, obviously not Han.

Those people gradually approached, and the leader of the alien man raised his right hand, and the entire horse team immediately stopped, and all of them were extraordinary in riding.

I only heard the big man of the alien race speak half-baked Chinese and ask a Han man next to him, "Brother Li, can you be sure that those Han people will go this way?" ”

The Han man smiled and said: "Brother Qiang, don't worry, I have found out, they will return to Wuwei along the water, this is the only way!" ”

The alien man groaned, "Can you be sure of their number?" We came in a hurry this time, and we didn't have time to draw more people! Will he not be able to take him? ”

The Han man surnamed Li smiled and said: "You can rest assured, although there are a lot of them, there are only more than 20 guards who can fight, and the others are all businessmen who are powerless. ”

He sneered: "What's more, I have already detected that there is a dangerous mountain pass more than 20 miles ahead, we can ambush them in advance, and when they come, we can wait for work and break it in one fell swoop!" ”

The alien man looked up to the sky and laughed, "Good! It's all up to Brother Li's subordinates, and after the matter is completed, we will divide those belongings in half! ”

After saying that, he yelled a few words in Hu, and with a wave of his hand, all the knights let out an excited cry and rushed forward together.

When they were gone, the Southern Eagle jumped down from the tree lightly, and let out the urgent gathering of birds, and everyone appeared one after another and gathered around.

Gao Feng came to Nanying's side and said with a solemn expression: "Sir! It seems that this is a gang of horse thieves in collusion! Prepare to rob a gang of Han Chinese caravans! ”

Nan Ying Qi said: "Di people? How can there be a Di people here? ”

Gao Feng explained: "Our current location is the junction of Wudu County and Sanfu, where the geography is complex, and the groups live together, and for many years, the Qiang people and Di people have often come and gone like the wind, robbing the caravans of the past. Ten years ago, Duan Cheng, the captain of the Qiang school, used thunderous means to conquer the Hu tribes, killing them so that they were frightened, and they all retreated when they heard the name of General Duan, and the public security here gradually improved, but two years ago, Duan Cheng, who had been appointed as the captain of the court, was framed and unjustly died in prison by Yang Qiu, the captain of the school, and the Qiang people and the Di people here were no one to suppress, and gradually there was a tendency to make disasters again, and I heard that many people were suffering from poison and suffering! ”

Nan Ying said angrily: "Grandma's, this piece of Gong is also enough to suck the bag, and it died at the hands of Xiao Xiao like this, but it has caused innocent people to suffer from poison!" Is there no other good general in the court? ”

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Gao Feng's mouth: "Sir, have you ever heard of Liangzhou Sanming?" ”

Nan Ying was stunned and said, "What Sanmingzhi?" ”

Gao Feng looked into the distance, revealing a hint of admiration: "Liangzhou Sanming refers to the three good generals who are also from Liangzhou, Huangfu Gui is Wei Ming, Zhang Huan is Ranming, and Duan Cheng is Ji Ming. These three people have had outstanding achievements in the war against the Qiang, and they are also very prestigious among the Qiang people. But the styles of these three people are not the same, Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan are known for being honest and upright, advocating to appease the Qiang people, while Duan Cheng has a strong wrist and advocates the suppression of Qiang, and at the same time, because he is attached to the eunuchs, he has a bad reputation with Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan. ”

Nanying was curious: "Oh? Since this period of military achievements is great, why should he be attached to the eunuchs? ”

Gao Feng sighed: "What if you don't cling? It's all about survival, and most of the financial and human rights of the court today are controlled by China and North Korea, which are run by eunuchs, if the relationship is stiffened, maybe even the logistics of the army will not be able to supply normally, so what can we talk about winning the war? ”

Nan Ying was stunned for a long time and said: "There are some reasons for this, people can't help but bow their heads under the eaves!" What happened to this Liangzhou Sanmingzhi? ”

Gao Feng said: "It's not Sanmingzhi, it's Sanming!" ”

Nan Ying scratched his head and said, "Yes! Sanming, you go on! ”

Gao Feng shook his head and said, "These three are now deceased!" Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan are upright, but their careers are rugged, and they have all died of illness one after another, and although Duan Cheng is the official to the lieutenant of the Three Princes, he committed suicide in unjust prison, which is really sad and lamentable! ”

After a slight pause, he said: "Sanming has passed away, and the court can no longer find a famous general who threatens Zhuyi, plus some of Sanming's old departments are resentful, not only to eliminate the military, but even secretly contact some Qiang tribes to prepare for an incident!" In this way, those Qiang people and Di people who were already ready to move became even more unscrupulous. Liangzhou is in danger! ”

Nan Ying's heart jumped when he heard this, and he thought secretly: "I'm afraid this is the root cause of Dong Zhuo's rebellion and Li Guo's rebellion in the future!" ”

Suddenly, he was curious: "Ah Feng, how do you know this?" ”

Gao Feng smiled and said, "Sir, don't you forget, where do we live now?" Although he lives in seclusion in the mountains, he always has to know something about his surroundings for the sake of survival and safety. Because I was a scout in the army, and the lord of the valley often ordered me to go out to the mountains to inquire about the news, what is the wonder of knowing this? ”

This time it was Nanying's turn to sigh and say, "It's survival again!" Everybody is here to survive! ”

A cold light flashed in his eyes: "Ah Feng, you mentioned the word survival several times, but it woke me up!" ”

As he spoke, he looked around at the crowd: "Brothers, what are we training hard for!" It's to defend our families, it's to survive! If we don't get rid of these thieves today, maybe they will endanger us tomorrow! What do you say should be done? ”

When everyone saw him murderous, they were all awe-inspiring, and at the same time, they were also provoked, and shouted in unison: "Kill them all!" ”

A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Nanying's mouth: "Good! Brothers, go with me and cut people! ”

A faint darkness of night has enveloped the land.

Nanying and Gao Feng poked their heads out from behind a large rock and looked out at the valley not far away.

Gao Feng said in a deep voice: "It must be here, we are coming on foot, and they must have already laid an ambush and stopped by relying on the speed of their horses!" But I don't know when the hapless caravan will come! ”

Nan Ying squinted and observed, "It won't be too long, otherwise they wouldn't have come in such a hurry!" Didn't you hear that the Di people were still worried about the lack of manpower? ”

Gao Feng said worriedly: "Sir, are you really going to kill seventy or eighty of them with a dozen of us?" ”

Nan Ying squinted at Gao Feng and said, "What?" Are you scared? ”

Gao Feng shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid, but can the other brothers be competent?" What if there is a loss......? Hey, sir, I just like to think about the worst! ”

Nanying took a deep breath and said, "Ah Feng, you remember it for me!" You have to believe in the abilities of your brothers, you have been training for so long, and your sweat will not be spilled in vain! ”

"And!" Nan Ying's eyes turned sharp, "I am your commander, and you are their head, if even you look ahead, the brothers are likely to die in vain because of loss of confidence in the action!" They must be nervous right now, too, and they must be watching us. ”

Gao Feng was shocked and said, "Ah Feng has been taught!" ”

He looked sideways at Nanying, but when he saw that the night was dark, Nanying's eyes were as bright as stars, blooming with calm and confidence.

He couldn't help but sigh: "Sir, why are you so calm? ”

Nanying was silent for a while and said: "It's like this after a lot of experience, get used to it!" ”

Gao Feng gasped and said, "Has the chief killed a lot of people?" ”

Nanying was silent for a while and said, "A lot, I can't remember!" ”

Gao Feng: "......"

A brother came quietly and said in a low voice: "Report to the chief, captain, the brother who was observing at the front found that there was a black shadow coming down the mountain from the cliff on the left!" It should be those horse thieves! ”

Nanying's eyes lit up: "Okay!" Gao Feng, you take action personally, don't make a little movement, I want to live! ”

Soon, a middle-aged man in Han costume blocked the rags, and his hands were gently put down in front of Nan Ying, his eyes were full of fear, and his eyes kept turning, but because he was holding two long knives around his neck, he didn't dare to move.

Nan Ying said coldly: "Listen, I'll only say it once, act recklessly, die!" Scream, die! Answer untruthfully, die! Got it and nodded! ”

The man heard the three hard words "death", only to feel a cold breath from head to toe, and nodded hurriedly.

Nan Ying stretched out his hand and tore off the rag from his mouth and said, "First question, who are you?" What is your name? ”

The man said in a trembling voice: "Heroes spare their lives! The villain Zhang Xian is a bandit around here! ”

Nanying smiled and said: "That's right, don't be afraid, as long as you cooperate, I promise not to kill you!" Okay, tell me, why did you gang of bandits walk all the way with the Di people? ”

Zhang Xian opened his mouth widely: "How do you know that we are all the way with the Di people?" ”

Gao Feng covered Zhang Xian's mouth, and then punched him in the lower abdomen, causing Zhang Xian to hook his body in pain, but he could only swallow the scream back into his stomach with a "grunt".

Gao Feng sneered: "You make it clear to me, it's our boss who is asking you, what qualifications do you have?" ”

Nanying nodded approvingly to Gao Feng and said, "Answer the question!" ”

Zhang Xian's face turned pale and said, "Yes!" Our leader Li found a fat sheep, but because of the lack of manpower, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he followed all the way, and invited people to participate together, and then shared the goods! ”

Nan Ying said strangely: "How did you get on the line with the Di people? How did these people come from? ”

Zhang Xianzhi said: "This ...... Well, this one! ”

Seeing a cold light flashing in Gao Feng's eyes, he was shocked and said: "I said that I said, these Di people have actually been robbing passing merchants in the Liangzhou area, and their leader is called Qiang Quan, and it is said that he is still the leader of a small tribe. Because there were often large caravans passing through the state and county, and there were many escorts with them, we, we often joined forces with them to rob! Sometimes we also provide them with food and shelter. ”

Nanying sneered: "Good guy, it's still a strategic partnership!" How many of you are here today? How are you going to start?"

Zhang Xian said with a bitter face: "There are 30 of us, and there are more than 40 Di people!" More than ten of us took strong crossbows to ambush the left and right cliffs, and Qiang Quan and Li led others to ambush in the valley, just waiting for the caravan to arrive! Just now, I saw a fire more than ten miles away, and it should be that the caravan was about to arrive, so I went down the mountain to inform the people in the valley who were in ambush. ”

Nanying and Gao Feng couldn't help but gasp: "Good guys! Do you still have a crossbow? "It must be known that in this era, although the crossbow making process has gradually matured, but due to its excessive power, it has been strictly controlled by the government, and only some regular armies will be equipped with it, even Gao Shun is from a military family, and there are only 5 crossbows in the whole valley. It's a miracle that this rabble can casually bring more than a dozen tickets.

Zhang Xian couldn't help but say with a smug face: "Exactly!" Don't hide it from a few heroes, these strong crossbows are made by villains! ”

Nanying and Gao Feng glanced at each other, and they couldn't hide the surprise in their eyes, this soft egg could actually make a crossbow!

Zhang Xian and the others didn't believe it, and said with a wry smile: "I was originally a crossbow master in Fufeng County, but I was captured by bandits on a long trip to the cottage two years ago, and when I learned of my craftsmanship, I didn't kill me, but forced me to join the gang and help them make crossbow arrows." ”

Saying that, he couldn't help but say with tears in his eyes: "Several heroes, please don't kill me, I am also forced to be helpless, I still have a wife and children at home, I ...... I've always wanted to run away and find them! He couldn't stop crying.

Nan Ying originally wanted to kill him immediately after forcing a confession, but unexpectedly, when he asked for such a result, he had a plan in his mind.

He said in a deep voice: "I can not kill you, but also reunite your family!" ”

Zhang Xian raised his head, and his tear-stained face showed a look of disbelief.

Nanying sighed and said, "The caravan is coming, and our time is running out, so I'll just say it!" You have two choices, either to die, or to join us and help us get rid of the horse thieves. ”

Ignoring Zhang Xian, who was still stunned, continued: "After eliminating the horse thief, I will go with you to pick up your family, and then send them to a safe place, and your family will have no worries about food and clothing in the future!" How to choose, decide for yourself! ”

Zhang Xian's eyes flashed with ecstasy, and then hesitated: "Of course it's okay to join you, but, but get rid of the horse thief...... It's not easy, right? ”

Nan Ying sneered: "This is my business, you just have to say whether you want it or not!" But I want to remind you, think about what happened to you, if you don't get rid of these horse thieves, more people will suffer, maybe there will be your relatives! ”

Zhang Xian finally made up his mind and said, "Okay! I listen to you all, I hope you can keep your promise and help my family reunite! ”

Nanying smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, and you will soon find out how right your choice is!" ”

A thief looked at it from the side of the mountain, and said anxiously: "The caravan is still three or five miles away, why hasn't this kid Zhang Xian come back yet, I don't clean him up if I miss a big thing!" ”

Another thief absentmindedly fiddled with the crossbow machine in his hand and said, "It's okay, what's the hurry?" Although that kid is clumsy, he has always done things steadily, so he must have some orders from the leaders! ”

As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of a few black shadows coming from afar, and immediately pointed at it with a crossbow machine, and shouted in a low voice: "What person! Stop, or I'll let the arrows go! ”

The other bandits were startled and hurriedly aimed at them with crossbow machines.

The leader of the black shadow panicked: "Is it old Yu? Don't let go of the arrows! I'm Zhang Xian! The leader was afraid that we would not have enough manpower, so he sent a few more brothers! ”

Several bandits breathed a sigh of relief and put down their crossbow machines.

A thief laughed and scolded: "Fuck, you kid has been grinding until now, Lao Tzu when you fed the wolf!" ”

Zhang Xian complained: "Are you so easy to walk at night in the mountains? Next time you go, I'll stop doing this drudgery! ”

As they spoke, several people got closer and closer.

Zhang first looked behind the bandits, and suddenly said, "Huh", "Why is this caravan so close?" ”

A few thieves involuntarily looked back, but saw that the faint light of the fire was still several miles away, and they were about to scold Zhang Xian for talking nonsense.

Several black shadows stepped forward like lightning, covered the mouths of several thieves from behind, and twisted the momentum, and in a series of "gurgling" and broken bones that made Zhang Xian's scalp tingle, several thieves saw the king of Hades in a daze.

Nan Ying clapped his hands easily, as if he had done a trivial matter, looked at Zhang Xian, who was still stunned, and smiled: "You did a good job, now take us to the cliff on the other side!" ”

Zhang Xian came back to his senses, his face was unbearable, and he hesitated: "Can you kill fewer people!" ”

Nan Ying looked at Zhang Xian coldly, and only then did he say, "Do you think they will do less to rob the house?" ”

Zhang Xian was speechless.

Nanying's cold eyes swept over Gao Feng and the others, and Sen Ran said: "Let me tell you, in the troubled times, if you want to survive, you can't use extraordinary means!" Never expect your enemies to show mercy to your men, because to be merciful to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself! ”

Seeing that everyone was thoughtful, he said leisurely: "In my hometown, there is a celebrity who once said such a sentence, which I have always regarded as a good word!" ”

Gao Feng blurted out, "What words?" ”

"Treat your friends as warm as spring, and treat your enemies like the autumn wind sweeps away the leaves!"

A caravan of more than 100 people lit torches and came all the way.

A white-skinned, slightly chubby middle-aged man glanced at the guards around him, and the overnight trek made it difficult for these big men to hide the tiredness on their faces.

He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Sir, why do you have to travel overnight? The town we just passed by, we could have rested! ”

The scribe who was about thirty years old who rode with him couldn't help but show a wry smile on his thin face when he heard this: "I really had to do it, since yesterday, I have found a strange knight galloping back and forth around the caravan, obviously we have been targeted!" ”

The middle-aged man lost his voice and said, "What! What kind of person will it be! ”

The scribe muttered: "As far as I guess, I'm afraid it's the mountain bandits and horse thieves who are ravaging the Liangzhou area!" ”

The middle-aged man said with a face like earth: "How is this good!" ”

The scribe was also distressed: "That's why I asked the caravan to hurry up, hoping to reach the nearest Longxian before they gather enough men." After all, our caravan has a large number of people, and if the thieves are not fully prepared, they will not dare to attack easily! ”

As he spoke, he looked at the canyon in front of him, and a hint of foreboding arose in his heart, this is the best place for an ambush.

He hesitated slightly, and shouted, "Quick! Inform everyone, speed up and cross the valley ahead as quickly as possible! ”

He had to take a risk, and if a thief gathered behind him to chase after him, the caravan would be wiped out. Only the soldiers ventured through this valley to reach the county seat. Under no circumstances would a thief dare to attack a city with deep walls and high fortifications.

Before entering the valley, the scribe ordered the guards to organize all the young men, distribute weapons, and accompany the guards to protect the old and weak women and children in the caravan.

The caravan finally entered the valley.
