The snow fell heavily, the night was deep, and in the mountains and forests, there was gradually only the vastness of the night.

The wind and snow howled on the mountainside, and in the caves between the barren mountains, there was a bonfire burning, and simple food was stewed on the bonfire. Several men in leather cloaks and swords gathered around the fire, and after a while, someone came in from the wind and snow outside the cave, and when they came over, they saluted the person in the innermost part of the cave.

"The snow won't stop for a while......"

Sitting in the innermost part of the cave, the Iron Aquila threw a twig into the fire and watched the fire beep and burn. The man who had just come in sat down by the fire, and the slices of meat came out to roast until soft, and hesitated for a moment before he spoke.

"I heard...... Bianliang's ......"

The words came out, and they stopped and stopped, and several people in the cave also had their own expressions on their faces, most of them looked at the Iron Sky Eagle, bowed their heads and were silent. Most of them are masters in the criminal department, and they come from the capital, and some of them are in Bianliang. A few months ago, Ning Yi rebelled, and the Wurui battalion went north after looting in the capital, and fought two battles in a row, causing several pursuers to lose their armor and lose their armor. The new emperor in Beijing ascended the throne, and after the matter was settled, he collected manpower and set up a division to eliminate rebellion, which was directly responsible for Tan Zhi to kill the traitor.

Tie Tianying had dealt with Ning Yi before, and even sensed the other party's ill-intentioned intentions in advance, Tan Zhi promoted him, Fan Zhong and others after taking office, and each served as the commander of the first team of the Rebel Division.

It's just that this anti-rebellion division was established not long ago, and the Jin people's troops have already moved south like a flood, and when they reached the northwest, they only figured out the situation a little, and the Jin people almost reached Bianliang, and then the world was in chaos. This rebellious division is like a child who has been abandoned as soon as he was born, cut off from the communication from above. There was panic in the ranks. Moreover, people go to the northwest, the people are fierce, Tie Tianying and others go to the official yamen to cooperate, if you really need effective assistance, even if you hold the sword of Shang Fang, people may not listen to the announcement. For a while, I was a little at a loss for what to do.

And today, the news of the fall of the capital has come. People can't help but think that this country is going to die, and there is no possibility of existence except for the Rebel Division.

“…… If the Western Xia people come and take back Hengshan, there will be no peace in this northwest place. The world is in chaos. After a long silence, the Iron Aquila threw another piece of wood into the campfire. Looking at the movement of the flames, he slowly spoke. However, all these things in his mouth cannot help but remind people of the prophecy of that man.

Within a year, Bianliang fell, all north of the Yellow River fell, and within three years, north of the Yangtze River fell to the hands of the Jurchens, and tens of millions of Li people became pigs and sheep to be slaughtered.

Now it seems. The situation was exactly what the demon had expected.

"But if it weren't for the devil's great rebellion! How can my Wu Dynasty have today's difficulties! Iron Sky Eagle said this, and his eyes suddenly turned cold. Raised his eyebrows and looked out, "I know what you think, but even if you have a family in Bianliang and the Jurchen besieges the city, how can you get in." I'll wait to do things in the north, as long as I have the slightest opportunity. How could Lord Tan not take care of my family! Ladies and gentlemen, to put it mildly, if our family and relatives really suffer misfortune, you might as well think about who this matter will be counted on! What can we do to avenge them! ”

"I have been in the Wu Dynasty for hundreds of years. has a deep background, even the devil and traitor, and he only dares to say it...... He only dared to say that he would retreat to the south of the Yangtze River within three years. However, if it weren't for the fact that he killed the monarch in court, the morale of the people in Beijing dropped again and again, and within a few months, the number of people who left Beijing was as high as 200,000, how could Bianliang fall so quickly. Such a rebel and a thief...... I, Iron Skyhawk, will slash this fang sooner or later! ”

At the end of his words, the rest of the people in the cave glanced at each other, and one of his henchmen came over, stretched out his hand and pressed the back of Tie Tianying's hand: "Sooner or later, the traitor will be killed." ”

The rest of the people also came over one after another, and they all said: "Sooner or later, the traitor will be killed......"

After everyone said this, Tie Tianying nodded slightly: "I am here now, I am alone, and I can't be defeated, but as long as I keep an eye on that side and figure out the truth of the traitor, sooner or later I will have this opportunity." ”

After a while, he said: "No matter how strong the Wurui camp is, it is only 10,000 people, this time the Xixia people are menacing, he is in the way, whether we have a chance to kill the rebels, in fact, it is difficult to say." ”

The wind and snow were howling outside, and most of the people in the cave nodded and said a few words to boost morale, but in fact, there are not many people who can still be firm in their hearts at this time, most of them are fast, head-catching, and good martial arts, and the most important thing is that they are shrewd, and they are used to seeing the slippery people in the green forests and markets. It's just that they're used to seeing people rolling in the dark, but they've never seen anyone overturn the table like this and kill the emperor.

But at the moment, of course, I can only echo and express my stance like this.

The night deepened, and in the cave, Iron Aquila sat in the innermost part, silent and resolute. At this time, the wind and snow are hurrying, the sky and the earth are vast, and all he can do is to close his eyes and sleep in this cave to maintain his strength. Only in the intervening intervals that others could not perceive, he would wake up from this deep sleep, open his eyes, and then grit his teeth and fall asleep quietly.

Among the two promoted criminal department chiefs, Fan Chong's task was to connect the green forest heroes and respond to the plan to eliminate the treacherous, while Tie Tianying led several teams to the northwest to collect traces and information about the Wurui camp, and even assassinate the demons at the right time, but at this time, only he knew the apprehension and pressure in his heart.

After coming to the northwest, it is not very difficult to figure out the traces and movements of such a large army. Even in Aoki Village, where the rebel thief was one of the bases, he could send one or two scouts to go in and find out the truth. In these days, the comings and goings between Qingmu Village and the Xiaocang River, and even the soldiers and family members of the Wurui Battalion from all over the country finally gathered in pieces, and the people under him could find clues, and even observe them from a distance.

In such a state of affairs, there are outsiders who continue to enter Xiaocang River, and it is not impossible for them to plant people in it - when the Wurui camp rebelled, it was a group of people who left directly without concern, and most of the wives and children still stayed. The imperial court has exercised high-pressure control over this group of people, and has also sought out some of them and instigated them to be spies. Help kill the traitor, or pretend to take refuge and pass on information. But now that Bianliang has fallen, it is said that it is a person who "fakely" took refuge, and it is difficult for Tie Tianying to distinguish the true from the false.

Some subordinates want to come into contact with these people. There are also those who want to crack down on these people in order to set an example. Iron Skyhawk just asked them to quietly investigate the information, on the surface, it was natural not to startle the snake, but these days, several times Iron Skyhawk woke up at night, all because he dreamed of the figure of the demon.

The other party reverses reconnaissance and kills it!

No one knows, the closer you get to that demon. In Iron Skyhawk's heart, the more vigilant and even afraid.

The situation between the two sides is completely different from when they were in the capital.

At that time, Tie Tianying dared to provoke the other party, and even coerced the other party, trying to make the other party angry, and the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry. At that time, in his heart. He is no different from this man named Ning Liheng. and even the identity of the chief arrest of the Criminal Department. Compared with the staff of the Prime Minister's Office who lost power, it is a lot higher. After all, speaking of which, the nickname of the heart demon is just from his scheming, Tie Tianying is a first-class master of martial arts, and then up. It may even become a Grandmaster of the Green Forest, after knowing a lot of inside information, how can he be afraid of a young man who only relies on a little scheming.

There was some conflict between the two sides, and he punched the other party in the street, and the other party didn't even dare to get angry. Even when his wife was not heard from at all, he was angry on the surface, but in fact, he couldn't do anything about himself.

He didn't get anything out of himself from start to finish. It wasn't until the young man went crazy, broke through Bianliang, and killed the Ninety-Five Supreme in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, that Tie Tianying suddenly realized that the other party didn't take himself seriously at all.

Otherwise, in that kind of situation of breaking the city, the city patrol department, the criminal department hall, and the White Tiger Hall of the military department are all trampled on, and he is arrested by the criminal department, where will he escape the other party's killing.

Now that he has become the enemy of the world, raising the flag and rebelling, where will he not guard against a pursuer like himself. With that person's scheming, he rashly touched it, maybe some place and what information was a trap he specially planted, and maybe one day in his sleep, the other party had already ordered his subordinates to fight back and wipe off his own group of eyesore pebbles.

If the other party is a reckless and domineering anti-thief, so powerful that Liu Dabiao, Fang La, and Zhou Tong are like them, Tie Tianying will not be afraid. But this time, he really felt that it was possible. After all, Lin Xichan, who may already be the best in the world in martial arts, has faced the demons several times, but he only ran away sadly. He is the head catcher of the Criminal Department, and he is used to seeing shrewd and slippery people, but for the scheming layout to this extent, the madman who easily turned over the Jinluan Palace, if he really stood in front of the other party, he couldn't start at all, and every step he took, I am afraid that he would have to worry about whether it was a trap.

Even if Lin Xichan pulled the flag and left later, the Great Light Sect only took advantage of the situation to enter Beijing, and did not dare to follow to the northwest to seek revenge. And now, the Great Bright Sect has only been in Beijing for a few months, and the capital is broken, and it is estimated that it can only run back to the south in disgrace.

It's not something that strength can make up for.

If you are cautious and don't act rashly, maybe one day in the future, the situation will be chaotic, and you can really find an opportunity to make a move. But now is the time when the other party is most vigilant, stupidly going up, his own person is like a moth to a fire.

These things may not be understood by these people, but they do understand themselves.

Of course, now that the Western Xia people are coming south, the strength of the Wurui battalion is not more than 10,000, and it is not impossible to set up the camp here, maybe one day to compete with the Western Xia, and then die here.

If so, it may be the best outcome for yourself and those under you......

In the deepest part of his heart, such a thought flashed through him......

*************

The wind and snow are also shrouded in Xiaocang River, and in the courtyard halfway up the mountainside, the warm light is faintly shining through the window lattice.

The glowing brazier was warming the small room, and it was time for the big devil's family to go to bed. Around the big devil is a woman who is still quite young in the later generations, and at this time he is already a wife, as well as his two children, one older and one younger, the pregnant Yunzhu is holding the insoles under the lamp, Yuan Jin'er is holding a little Ningji, occasionally teasing, but the little child is already yawning and squinting.

Ning Xi sat on a small chair, listening to his father tell interesting stories from ancient books, his mother Su Tan'er sat beside him, Xiaochan occasionally looked at the hot water on the brazier, added some to people's teacups, and then went back to Yunzhu's side, holding the insoles with her, and then also covered her mouth and squinted her eyes, yawning slightly-she was also a little sleepy.

After coming back from a long trip and dealing with some things, everyone gathered together in the middle of the night to tell the children a story, or chatted softly together, which was regarded as the Ning family's pastime before going to bed.

Outside the courtyard is the deep night and the snow, and the heavy snow that only falls at night seeps into the chill of the night, as if the mountains and wilderness have become mysterious and dangerous. There are not many people moving outside, but at this time, a figure appeared in the wind and snow, she slowly walked to this side, and stopped far away, some seemed to be closer, and then wanted to stay away, so she had to stay in the wind and snow for a while.

In the courtyard, the family reunion has begun to disperse, Jin'er hugged Xiao Ningji and went back to the bedroom with Yunzhu, while Xiaochan hugged Ning Xi, in the room, it should be that the couple is still talking. The figure in the wind and snow watched this scene from afar, on the side of the path halfway up the mountainside, gently kicked the snow under his feet, looked up at the night sky that he couldn't see, and finally turned around to leave.

In the courtyard over there, Ning Yi's figure also appeared, he walked through the courtyard, opened the courtyard gate, and walked over to this side with a cloak, the figure in the darkness glanced back, stopped, Ning Yi walked through the mountain road, and gradually approached.

"Hey, what a coincidence." Ning Yi said to the watermelon.

Watermelon wrung his brows, turned around and left.

"Just kidding." Ning Yi smiled slightly, "Let's go for a walk together." ”

The figure in front of him did not stop, and Ning Yi still walked over slowly, and after a while, they were already walking together. The midnight wind and snow were cold and scary, but they just spoke softly.

They are not afraid of wind and snow...... (To be continued......)

PS: I want to update before twelve o'clock, but I didn't catch up after all, because there is something, I want to tell you: today...... It should be said that it was yesterday. Well, I'm married.

Thank you all for walking with me over the years.
