"Boss! Someone in front of him picked up a head with a bamboo pole! A scout rode to inform the marching army of the Howling Forest.

Mu Changchuan raised his eyebrows and pulled the horses under the seat, "Whose head?" ”

The scout stammered, "Like... It seems to be... Yihe..."

"What?!" Mu Xuyun heard this sentence when he drove from the rear, "Yihe is dead, why is there no news from Wei Yuji?" ”

Wei Yuji, the former general of the Xiaolin Army, it stands to reason that the vanguard of the two sides should fight first, this Yihe is the enemy's vanguard general, if he cuts off someone's head, it should also be done by the former army of Wei Yuji.

Mu Changchuan and his son glanced at each other, and quickly drove their horses forward, and not far away, they saw a hanging head. Mu Xuyun rushed to catch up, brushed his hair away and saw that it was really Yihe, and turned back to Mu Changchuan and nodded slightly.

There was no news from the front army, and besides, this head was hanging on the road between the front army and the army behind, and the person who killed Yihe at least knew the route of the whole army. Mu Changchuan couldn't help but shudder, if someone figured out their marching route, it would not be a good thing.

"Whew!"

An arrow shot out of the forest, just on the bamboo pole, panicked soldiers hurriedly surrounded several generals to defend inside, and more than 20 people rushed in the direction of the arrow to search.

Mu Changchuan looked back at the arrow, there was a piece of silk cloth tied to the arrow, Mu Changchuan pulled out the arrow without saying a word, pulled out the silk cloth and unfolded it.

Eleven blood characters were written on the silk cloth: Yihe entered the forest, attacked Tianbei, and was intercepted and killed.

Mu Changchuan ordered someone to notify the front army to camp in place, and then speed up and rush to the front; And Mu Xuyun followed, clutching the silk cloth in his hand and falling into deep thought.

It was getting late, and the army of Xiaolin converged with the previous army and hung Yihe's head at the gate.

At the same time, the Beiwu Pioneer also received a letter tied to an arrow, and there were also several huge blood characters on the letter: Yihe is dead, his head hangs over the gate, the murderer, Nanchen Xia Qingchen, Mu Zijin.

Only this letter scared off the Beiwu pioneers, and the Beiwu pioneers retreated more than 100 miles overnight to join the army, of course, this is a later story.

Xia Qingchen was lying bored on the grass, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, and beside him was a bonfire, on which a rabbit was roasted, and the fragrance was overflowing. The sky is not yet bright, and Mu Zijin has not yet rushed back, the time has already passed, and Xia Qingchen has nothing around him that can determine the time, so he can only estimate and calculate. In order to save time, the two reported separately, Xia Qingchen sent a letter to Mu Dashuai, and Mu Zijin was alone, bypassing the sentry post and sending the letter to the Beiwu army. Although Mu Zijin planned the route, he only ticked several possible routes for Xia Qingchen, Xia Qingchen ran three routes and asked the people in the village to find the army of Xiaolin, not to mention that Mu Zijin was looking for the Beiwu army. The armies intersected, and it was almost difficult to determine the location of the other party without dozens or even nearly a hundred scouts to inquire about the news on the other side, not to mention that now Mu Zijin was fighting alone.

Xia Qingchen turned over, he couldn't help it, he got up and took the rabbit, and was about to step on the flame to find Mu Zijin, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves.

Xia Qingchen raised his eyes and saw a red-clothed gallop over, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but his mouth was unforgiving, "Zijin, what are you doing?" It's been so long since I came back, I thought you had arrested Beiwu. ”

"Bah, you shut up for me, I'll die if you say something nice." Mu Zijin snorted, "Two hundred miles of land, five hundred miles of land back and forth, and you have to be careful not to be discovered by the scouts on both sides, it's already good to rush back before dawn, okay?" If it weren't for the fact that Jade Nightmare is a famous horse for thousands of miles, it would have been scrapped a long time ago. I'm starving, do you have anything to eat? ”

Xia Qingchen couldn't help but smile when he saw that he was angry and put things down, and the whole person collapsed on the ground, and he didn't want to move when he was lying on the ground.

Mu Zijin glanced at him and sat up, "What are you laughing at?" Hurry up and give me the rabbit, I'm hungry. As he spoke, Mu Zijin stretched out his hand and grabbed it.

Xia Qingchen got up and dodged over. The two fought back and forth for a while, and Mu Zijin finally grabbed the rabbit, sat on the ground and ate it. Xia Qingchen saw that people were eating happily, and the smile on the corner of his mouth appeared unconsciously, and after looking at it for a while, he restrained his smile and said in a low voice, "Thank you today." ”

Mu Zijin waved his hand, looking impatient, "Get you, don't always talk about the word thank you, I don't pay so much attention to it." Just don't forget what you promised me before. ”

Xia Qingchen said softly, "I know, I never forget. ”

Mu Zijin ate and said vaguely, "It's good that you haven't forgotten, and you don't need to talk about other things." ”

After eating the rabbit three times and five by two, Mu Zijin wiped his hands with the silk cloth in his arms and threw it into the fire, "It's almost, let's go back." ”

Xia Qingchen was slightly surprised, "You don't rest anymore?" Just been on the road for so long. ”

Mu Zijin turned around and untied the horse's reins, "No, let's go back early." I haven't told my mother when I came out today, and if I don't go back, I'm afraid she will be worried. ”

"Okay then." Xia Qingchen covered the fire with soil, stepped on it a few more times, stepped on the ground, and went back.

When the two arrived at the city gate, the sky was already cloudy and bright, and the whole city was under martial law during the war, and the two of them each carried weapons in their hands, and they almost couldn't even enter the city gate.

finally entered the city, Mu Zijin saw that the sky had been polished, and he was afraid that his mother would see that he had not returned overnight, so he returned home in a panic. After a sleepless night, Xia Qingchen was also tired, and he also hurried back to his house to rest.

Mu Zijin returned to the mansion and didn't see anyone in the main hall, so he secretly prepared to go back to the room to rest unconsciously, but as soon as he pushed the door in, he saw Liu resting on the table with his head propped up. Mu Zijin was stunned for a moment, and was about to turn around and go out without disturbing her, and go to the main hall to sit and deal with it.

"Where are you going when you come back? Didn't return overnight. ”

After a pause, Mu Zijin turned around, and Liu Shi woke up at some point.

"Shhhh Well, I didn't go anywhere, I went for a drink with a friend. Mu Zijin lied without blinking.

"You don't smell of alcohol." Liu said and walked over and straightened the collar of his child, "Where did you go?" ”

Mu Zijin smiled embarrassedly, "Well, I went outside the city..."

Liu raised his eyes and stared at Mu Zijin's eyes, Mu Zijin had already lied and done something wrong, and he couldn't stand his mother's opinion, so he immediately looked away.

Liu was also a martial arts practitioner before she got married, and she was also remembered as a killer because she was a big family, and her nose smelled a trace of blood on her own children, "You..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mu Zijin yawned and interrupted her, and then half-pushed and half-moved the person towards the door, "Ah... That mother, I haven't slept all night, so let me rest first, and I'll talk to you when I get up, okay? I'll tell you when I get up. As he spoke, Liu was squeezed to the door, and Liu looked helpless, and finally went out, and carefully helped her close the door before returning to the house.

Mu Zijin was in the room, listening to the footsteps in the distance, exhaled, and then put down the strings that had been tightened.

After sitting alone in the room for a while, Mu Zijin felt hungry and was about to go out to find something to eat, but the door opened first. Liu Shi put the food box on the table, opened the food box and smelled fragrant, and saw that Mu Zijin was already staring at the food almost fiercely, and couldn't help but smile dumbly.

Mu Zijin saw that the Liu family had no other actions, so she started eating directly, and she didn't even drink water for a whole day, except for the rabbit that gave her three or two bites.

Seeing that the people had almost eaten, Liu said, "Your father sent a messenger on the front line. ”

"Hmm... What are you here for? Mu Zijin's mouth was still full of rice, and he said hesitantly.

"Looking for you." As he spoke, he took out the letter in his arms and put it on the table, "For you." ”

Mu Zijin glanced at the letter and swallowed the food in his mouth, "Mother, do you want to read it to me?" I'm too lazy to look at it. ”

When Liu Shi heard this, a trace of helplessness appeared in his eyes, "I knew you would say that." I've already shown you, and there's just one sentence in it. Your father asked you, did you do that thing? ”

Mu Zijin was gobbling up, this sentence almost choked her, choking her several times.

Liu Shi hurriedly patted his back, Mu Zijin finally swallowed the mouthful of rice, and hurriedly opened the letter, and it was really that sentence. Liu Shi looked at her, "What did you do this night?" ”

Mu Zijin was helpless, "I didn't do anything, it's just... Killed a person..."Seeing that Liu's face had a tendency to turn dark, he hurriedly continued, "That person is from Beiwu, the pioneer general of Beiwu, Yihe." He was going to take a detour to sneak into Tianbei City, and I just caught him, so I killed him..."

Liu Shi looked at Mu Zijin in shock, "You, killed the Beiwu Pioneer General?" ”

Mu Zijin shrugged, "It's just luck, it just happened." ”

Liu Shi looked at his daughter, "You..." held back for a while and didn't know what to say, sighed, his face was full of helplessness, "Clean up after eating, your father said that if it was really you who did it, let you rush to the army, and he will look for you." ”

Mu Zijin's eyes widened suddenly, "Really? Did my dad agree to let me enter the Howling Forest? ”

Liu Shi tapped Mu Zijin's forehead vigorously, "You little skin monkey, fooling around all day long, don't forget that you are a daughter, don't be so mixed up that you don't even know who you are." ”

Mu Zijin pursed his mouth, "I know, mother." ”

Mu Zijin was eating, and Liu was cleaning up things for her. By the time Mu Zijin finished eating, Liu had already packed a small backpack for her.

Mu Zijin smiled happily, "Thank you, mother." ”

Liu Shi stroked Mu Zijin's face, "On the battlefield, be careful in everything, be careful not to get hurt." ”

Mu Zijin nodded solemnly, "Mother, don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

took his bags, put on his weapons again, and set off under the gaze of Liu and Mu Han'an. Of course, Mu Zijin didn't forget to take a detour to call Qingchen up.

The two rode out of the city side by side again.

Mu Zijin couldn't do it, and looked back at the towering gate of Tianbei City. This time I went out as well as yesterday, and when I left today, I am afraid that I will not be able to return even if the war continues.

Raindrops fell from the sky, and the two looked up at the sky, and a light rain began to fall, hitting their faces. Mu Zijin pulled the reins of his horse and galloped forward, this time, he never looked back.
