The rolling mountains have quietly faded from the withered yellow and begun to show a delicate green, as if symbolizing that the shadow of death that swept the world not long ago is silently annihilating, and the vitality seems to have returned to the earth.

Fifty miles away from Black Tiger Mountain, on the mountainside next to a canyon, a mass of yellow and green weeds suddenly moved slightly, revealing a pair of vigilant sharp eyes in the grass, and he was observing every move within miles of distance without blinking his eyes.

It's a pity that this is already the depths of the inaccessible mountains, dozens of miles away from the official road connecting Hanzhong to Chang'an, and you can't even see a ghost shadow at ordinary times, so how can you easily find it?

He glanced at another haystack not far away, another companion had already let out a soft snoring sound, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly, these days are really not mixed, endure the biting cold wind of early spring, chew on the dry food that has long been cold and hard, and even relieve his hands has become a relaxing luxury. This errand, while important, is really boring. Fortunately, the two of them have been at their posts for more than two days, and as long as they survive for another half a day, their companions will come to change the guard. Thinking of the warm and comfortable bed at home, the hot wine, and the roasted and dripping boar meat, he couldn't help but let out a sigh that bordered on moaning.

Thinking of this, he turned his head slightly, looked at the distant mountains, and a trace of warmth welled up in his heart, after all, there was a home of his own. He suddenly developed a kind of guardian pride, and everything he was doing now was precisely to protect the peace of that home. He is truly grateful to his chief, who has built a warm home for all and has given him the power of a guardian.

His name is Fang Hu, and he is a scout of the Eagle's Nest. Although he is Fang Yue's clan brother, in the eagle's nest, he only talks about loyalty and ability, and he will be despised by people by relying on relationships. In the past two years, he has relied on his own skills to stand out in all kinds of hard training, and was recently promoted by Cheng Yu to be the captain of a scout team, specializing in the northeast of the Eagle's Nest.

Thinking about it, Fang Hu gave birth to a sense of pride, although the scouts of the entire Eagle's Nest were only 200 people, they were selected from more than 4,000 people in the whole army, nearly half of them were the old brothers who first followed Gao Shun to the Black Tiger Mountain, which can be said to be the elite of the elite. And he is one of the ten squad leaders, which can be said to be outstanding. Not long ago, I heard Fang Yue say that the scout camp will not only be expanded, but also the position of deputy commander may be added, and the ten captains have already secretly competed with each other, ready to fight for it with all their might, if they can win again...... Hey! Fang Hu almost laughed out loud thinking about it.

Suddenly, a small patch of dust rose from the distant mountain road, and the sound of horses' hooves hitting the rocks was faintly heard.

Fang Hu's eyes froze, the Eagle's Nest hadn't sent anyone out recently, as the leader of the scout team, he knew this very well, then, he could only consider a worst-case outcome.

He picked up a pebble and was about to throw it at his sleeping companion, but he found that his companion had woken up at some point, rubbing his eyes and continuously playing sign language of "rest assured" and "observe" to him.

Fang Hu praised in his heart, he was worthy of being an elite soldier trained by the commander, and it was also his luck to have such a loyal and reliable companion.

He narrowed his eyes in reassurance, and looked at a small group of knights who were approaching with all his strength, and at the same time stretched out a hand behind him, and slowly made sign language to his companion, such as "seven people and seven horses", "very fast", etc., and the companion looked at his gesture while taking out a white silk and recording it with a thin charcoal strip. There is a harrier eagle carrying a bamboo tube by his side, which can send this news to the eagle's nest within an hour, which is half a day faster than the speed of a horse in the mountains, so that the eagle's nest still has plenty of time to make any reactions and arrangements after receiving the alarm.

Fang Hu suddenly shook his whole body and put down his hand. The companion was puzzled, and after waiting for a while, seeing that Fang Hu still didn't move, he couldn't help but curse secretly, crawled to his side, and said in a low voice: "Captain, how did you do it?" You haven't even said when these people expect to arrive at the Eagle's Nest! ”

Fang Hu's eyes flashed with ecstasy, and his excited speech was a little unclear: "Xiao Xu, look, look at it, don't those people look like chiefs?" ”

Xiao Xu was also shocked, and hurriedly squinted his eyes, but said: "My eyes are not as good as yours, and I can't see it really!" But it's not right, counting the eldest lady, there are only six of them, how can they be seven? ”

The knight in the distance finally approached, and the person in front of him was dressed in black, and his straight body was still standing like a mountain on the bumpy horseback, it was the Southern Eagle.

The two on the mountain saw it clearly, and cheered in a low voice.

Xiao Xu raised his body and was about to shout, but was pressed down by Fang Hu.

Xiao Xu was puzzled: "Captain, what's wrong with you?" That's obviously the chief and Mr. Jia! Why don't you let me greet them? ”

Fang Hu tried to calm his heart beating violently with extreme joy, but there was a hint of undoubted decisiveness in his words: "Have you forgotten how the chief taught us?" What are we doing now? ”

Xiao Xu remembered the strict laws of the scout camp, and suddenly poured a basin of cold water on his head, and said dejectedly: "The captain taught a lesson!" But what should we do? ”

Fang Hu scolded in a low voice: "Stupid, of course, I will immediately send this good news back to the Eagle's Nest with the Flying Eagle Message!" Didn't you see that Mr. Cheng and Brother Feng have been worrying about the chief day and night lately? ”

Xiao Xu was stunned and said, "Yes!" Be! So how should it be written? ”

Fang Hu watched Nan Ying and the others go away with reverence, and said in a calm tone: "You only need to write eight words!" The eagle spreads its wings and returns home! ”

Nanying looked at the grass and trees that he was gradually familiar with, and the warm feeling of the wanderer who had traveled far away finally returned to his hometown welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but slow down the reins of the horse and let the horse walk slowly.

Gao Gao Er and Zheng Lian ran side by side, with Gao Gao'er pointing excitedly, the two daughters came from time to time bursts of laughter, seeing Nan Ying slowed down, Zheng Lian immediately stepped forward and chuckled: "Boss, you are really a quiet place here!" I heard that after the Eagle's Nest is the valley, and there are so many beautiful scenery in the valley, you have to choose a good place for me to live! ”

Gao Gao'er smiled: "Sister Lian, don't worry, just leave this to me!" ”

Jia Xu, Zao Yi and others smiled and nodded together, and there was a sense of homesickness in their hearts.

Zheng Lian obviously also had an excitement about arriving at the noble place for the first time, and said with a smile: "It's really good here, but it's too biased, and it hasn't arrived for so long!" Boss, how far is it! If you really want to stand on your own, this is not a suitable base for world domination! ”

Nan Ying shook his head and sighed: "What a child's words! Good thing there won't be anyone here! ”

He looked up into the distance, and said, "If I remember correctly, go forward and turn the valley in front of you, and you will see the walls of the Eagle's Nest!" ”

Zheng Lianxi said: "Great! Is it finally here? I can finally see the Eagle's Nest! As he spoke, he raised his whip and gave it a few strokes.

The horse spread its hooves and ran forward first, and Gao Gao'er, Ma Jun, and Zao Yi also shouted and followed the horse. Nan Ying, Jia Xu, and Gao Shun looked at each other and smiled, and chased after them.

The land of Li Xu was approaching in an instant, and Zheng Lian took the lead in turning the corner of the mountain, and suddenly let out an exclamation.

Nanying and Gao Shun's hearts sank together, could it be that there was something wrong with the Eagle's Nest? When a few people also turned around the corner of the mountain, they couldn't help but look at each other, stupid in the local area.

Not far away, the strange and majestic twin city walls of the Eagle's Nest are just as when they left, and there is no trace of war. But in the vast field in front of the city, there were groups of cavalry quietly arranged.

This cavalry had two or three thousand people, all of whom were in black helmets and black armor, neatly arranged in dozens of huge phalanxes. Under the reflection of the sunlight, the snow-bright blades reflected the cold white light. In front of the phalanx, dozens of huge black eagle flags were waving in the wind, and hunting sounded. Thousands of men and horses stood quietly and quietly, showing strict military discipline and brave combat power.

When those cavalrymen saw Nanying and the others, they suddenly burst out into a shout of joy that resounded through the sky: "Welcome to the lord!" Greetings to the Lord! Greetings to the Lord! ”

The huge sound of uniformity resounded in all directions, shaking the birds in the mountains and forests far and near.

Nan Ying almost didn't fall off his horse, and said dumbfounded: "What kind of fame is this!" The big parade? ”

Jia Xu, Gao Shun and the others shook their heads with a wry smile, and Gao Gao'er wondered, "How did they know that we were back?" ”

Only Zheng Lian said in a daze: "Good guy, boss, I really didn't expect you to be so strong!" ”

Suddenly, she smiled and said, "It seems that I really picked a good boss!" ”

Nanying glanced at her angrily, and suddenly saw the cavalry in the distance parting a road like a tide, dozens of knights rode from the passage, and the first one was Cheng Yu, who hurriedly greeted her.

After not seeing him for a few months, Cheng Yu seemed to have more gray hair on his temples, and his face was much haggard, his eyes flashed with excitement, he turned over and dismounted and said, "Lord, you are finally back!" ”

Nanying was also moved, he didn't return for a few months, except for the middle of the Zao only to report a letter and send a large amount of limestone, no news came back, Cheng Yu and the others must be worried all night.

He grabbed Cheng Yu's hands and said, "Zhongde! It's hard for you! ”

Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "Where does the lord say, it's good that you come back safely!" ”

While speaking, Dian Wei, Gao Feng, Gao Tie, Fang Yue, Jiang Huan and others hugged each other together, and hugged Gao Shun, Zao Yi, Ma Jun and others tightly, making a mess.

Jia Xu walked slowly and said strangely: "Zhongde, I'm not surprised that you can know in advance that we are back, after all, our scouts are well-informed, and I understand it deeply." But why did you put on such a battle, is it to show the lord an increasingly strict military appearance? ”

Cheng Yu smiled: "You only guessed half right!" ”

He solemnly arched his hand and said: "Lord, although you only have a few people, but in the past few months, you have leveled the plague, fought Yiyang, and defeated Taiping Dao, and such feats have already spread all over the world!" As a subordinate, we have an honor, so we gathered 3,000 elites from the Eagle's Nest to greet them here, just to congratulate the lord, and since then the name has spread all over the world! ”

Nanying was stunned and couldn't help laughing.

Cheng Yu was stunned and said, "I don't know why the lord is laughing? But what did you say wrong? ”

Gao Shun came over, patted Cheng Yu with a smile and said: "Mr. doesn't know, if you know what earth-shattering things we have done on this trip, you should invite tens of thousands of people from the Eagle's Nest to come out and welcome them!" ”

Cheng Yu and the remaining generals were all shocked, and said in unison: "What else is the big deal? ”

In the council hall of Wubao in the mountains, Cheng Yu, Gao Feng, Jiang Huan and others were all dumbfounded, sitting with their heads down, and they had not yet recovered from Fang Caizao's account of the thrilling encounters of everyone in the past few months.

Spirit Emperor Liu Hong, the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao, the sword god Wang Yue and others are rare legends in their lives, Nanying and others actually had a chance with them, including several life and death struggles, several near-deaths, several times of deception, but also listened to everyone fascinated, a few suspicions in a dream, especially when they heard that Jia Xu almost died on the spot in order to save Nanying, everyone exclaimed in unison, and looked at Jia Xu in disbelief.

Even Nanying and Gao Shun were also heavy when they heard it, and there was a trace of fear in their hearts.

Only Zheng Lian didn't care, and from time to time curiously stroked the backrest seat under her and the long big table where everyone was sitting, and let out bursts of amazement.

When Gao Gao'er whispered to her that these were all created by Nanying, and the carpenter in the eagle's nest was made according to the drawings, Zheng Lian couldn't help but be moved, and then looked at Nanying's gaze, revealing a look of admiration that could not be concealed.

Cheng Yu finally exhaled a long breath, recovered from the shock, and looked at Jia Xu with a hint of strangeness, and suddenly got up and bowed deeply to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was stunned, stretched out his hand to pull, and said, "What does Zhongde mean by this?" ”

When Cheng Yu raised his head again, a trace of shame appeared on his face: "This is dedicated to Wen He to make amends!" ”

Seeing that everyone didn't understand what he meant, he said angrily: "Don't hide it from you, I have always admired Wen He's resourcefulness and talent, but I can't help but think that Wen He's heart is too treacherous, and sometimes he is even a little vicious, and he has never regarded Wen He as a person who sacrifices his life for righteousness!" ”

He smiled bitterly: "It's because I have no eyes under it, I have been mislooking at Wen He, and I am really ashamed in my heart, please forgive Wen He!" ”

Everyone suddenly felt in their hearts, thinking about Jia Xu's past, and they actually had the same feeling as they had seen.

Jia Xu couldn't help laughing: "Good Cheng Zhongde, I finally said what I thought today!" ”

His face was straightened, and his face showed a solemnity that he had never seen before, and he said slowly: "Actually, what you said is not bad!" Indeed, I was such a person! My lord has always jokingly called me a poisoner, and I am secretly happy! It is necessary to know that the world is impermanent, people's hearts are unpredictable, if there is no calculation in the chest, Hugh said that if he gets ahead, he is standing in things, and it is difficult to say that there is no misfortune to fly! ”

Cheng Yuqiang smiled: "Wen He is joking again, and he is really sincerely apologizing......

Jia Xu shook his hand and said, "Zhongde misunderstood, I haven't finished talking yet!" I am still who I am, and I haven't changed! But there is a word from my lord that I have taken as a classic, and may explain my act of generosity to death! That is, 'Treat your friends as warm as spring, and treat your enemies like autumn winds sweeping away leaves!' ’”

A warm color flashed in his eyes, swept over everyone one by one, and said softly: "And you are my friends in this life!" I would like to share blessings and woes with you, life and death! ”

Everyone only felt that their hearts were full, and they didn't know where to start for a while, and they all stood up with a "suddenly" sound, and bowed slightly to Jia Xu together.

Jia Xu smiled and returned the salute, but his eyes flashed with mist vapor.

Nan Ying had a wonderful feeling in his heart, did history misread Jia Xu, or did he change because of his arrival? This answer is difficult for even God to answer.

After everyone sat down, Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wenhe! Before returning to the Eagle's Nest, you had Luoyang three inaccessible, Eagle's Nest three must reply! Earlier, you have explained in detail the causes of the three non-entry, but you have not said what the three must be returned! I'm so dull, I don't know what it means, all the brothers are here today, and please Mr. make it clear! ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Not bad!" It's time to reveal the layout in my heart to everyone! The so-called three must return are actually the three major things we need to do at present! One is to remove tumors, the second is to build muscles, and the third is to break the cocoon! ”

Everyone said in unison, "What does this mean?" ”

Jia Xu said calmly: "Those who remove tumors are to get rid of their own diseases and eliminate hidden dangers!" ”

Cheng Yu blurted out: "You mean the Heavenly Master!" ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Exactly!" This Heavenly Master has always been very hostile to us. First of all, he secretly spied on Black Tiger Mountain, eyeing our mountain treasures, followed the sneak attack of the troops, secretly blamed the back, and even faked the Taiping Dao, intending to get rid of us as soon as possible! It can be said that we are incompatible. But they are close at hand, and they have already constituted the biggest hidden danger of my eagle's nest at present! If we don't get rid of this cancer as soon as possible, we will pay the price! ”

Nan Ying slapped the case heavily and said angrily: "Not bad! Lao Tzu shouldn't have softened his heart for a while and let go of that Zhang Lu! It's really a return to the mountain! ”

Gao Shun also nodded and said, "Wen He and continued, what is muscle-building? ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "If the Heavenly Master's Dao is destroyed, the government will also be greatly injured. The Hanzhong area will surely fall into an unprecedented period of weakness, which is a rare opportunity for us to take the opportunity to develop and grow, and revitalize blood and muscles! Now that the war in Hanzhong is in full swing, the plague has not been completely extinguished, and there are many people in the places where the people of the Han, Qiang, and barbarian ethnic groups are displaced, we can take the opportunity to absorb the displaced people from all over the world, enrich the strength of the Eagle's Nest, and spread the eyes and ears in the counties of Hanzhong, secretly accept the righteous people from all over the world, and at the same time, we can continue to use the gold and iron in the mountains, accumulate grain and salt, and purchase cattle and horses, so as to lay the foundation for the future plan! ”

Nan Ying shouted: "Good muscles, it is indeed a great opportunity for us!" Wenhe will talk about this cocoon again! ”

Jia Xu showed a thoughtful look: "Actually, this is a problem that has plagued me a long time ago! I don't know if you've ever thought about it? Even if we can effectively control the Hanzhong area, it is just a small local force that is independent and independent, and the periphery is the soldiers and horses of the various states of the imperial court, and the major tribes of different races, trapping us in the small land of Hanzhong! To break this impasse, another territory needs to be established, so that the Eagle's Nest is no longer a backwater! Instead, there is evidence for advancing and retreating, echoing each other from afar! ”

A look of joy flashed on his face: "This was originally an impossible and difficult thing, but it was completely broken because of the extraordinary circumstances of the lord. The Tiger and Wolf Division of my Eagle's Nest will finally no longer be a guardian dog, but will transform into a cocoon-breaking soldier! ”
