When he got close to the Pochao army, he saw a person sitting on the ground, and the eight guards behind him stood proudly, and Qiu Yundu guessed that the person sitting must be Xi Murong.

Qiu Yundu dismounted from a distance, walked quickly to the front, and saluted the man: "The person in distress Qiu Yundu has seen Xi Quanshou!" ”

Xi Murong waved his hand and stretched out his hand to Qiu Yundu, Qiu Yundu hurriedly stepped forward, Xi Murong gently pulled him to sit beside him, looked at him carefully, and said with a smile: "Yundu has suffered a great disaster, but fortunately, his will has not been lost." ”

Qiu Yundu's heart was warm for no reason, tears almost burst out of his eyes, and he said at the moment: "Thank you for your concern, Yundu ......"

Xi Murong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Suo Wuxian and Shu Zhong are jealous, and they actually risked the disapproval of the world to kill Qiu Daquan, it is really the anger of people and gods!" Fortunately, Yundu still exists, and the revenge of Qiu Daquan is expected to be avenged! ”

Qiu Yundu said: "Now that Yundu has nowhere to live, how can we talk about revenge?" ”

Xi Murong said: "That's what I'm here for today. I have admired Qiu Daquan for a long time, even if I really appreciate Yundu, here I officially invite Yundu on behalf of the Ministry of Chao, what is the meaning of Yundu? ”

Qiu Yundu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Xi Quanshou took into account Yundu very deeply in this move, but how could Yundu be affected by his life?" ”

Xi Murong shook his head and said, "Yundu is too worried. Are you worried that the Seal Department will lead an army to attack you if they know that our department has received you? Hum! Although the strength of the fine seal department is strong, how can I be afraid of him? There is no Qiu Daquan head in the fine seal department, only a bundle of weight I don't put in my eyes, and in recent years, quite a super department and the wild department, to the Li department, the left seal department is closely linked, the fine seal department does not come, if you really dare to come, beware of me in one fell swoop will be the fine seal department destroyed! ”

There is a strong confidence in Xi Murong's words, if these words are said by others, Qiu Yundu will definitely laugh at him for not measuring himself, but at this time, he will not, because this is said by Xi Murong, now it seems that the only person who dares to boast of destroying the fine seal department today has no other thoughts except Xi Murong.

Indeed, with the strength of the super department, he may not dare to confront the fine seal department alone, but if you add the alliance forces of the Yeli Department and the Xiangli Department, which are among the eight strong departments of Guli, and there is Rong Minyang, the head of the Xiangli Department, this person is also one of the top ten leaders of Guli, and the three alliances will compete with the fine sealing department that has lost Qiu Bangzhi, and it is really difficult to predict who will win and who will lose. But at this time, Qiu Yundu's heart was not thinking of these, he was thinking of the current sect master of the Quite Chao Division, Shang Xu. Shang Xuan has a weak personality and is good at listening to slanderous rumors, with Xi Murong's ability, he can't win his full trust at this time, if it weren't for Weng Fangkai, who is quite the head of the department, Xi Murong may not even be able to sit down. Weng Fangkai is sixty-eight years old, one of the top ten leaders of Guli, for the creation and development of the super department has made immortal contributions, Shang Xu's father was alive almost all rely on Weng Fang Kai's ability to establish a quite super department, and Shang Xu took over as the suzerain is also particularly trusted. Although Shang Xuan is good at listening to slander, as long as it is about Weng Fangkai, he will never believe it, which shows his trust in him. Although Shang Xuan didn't value Xi Murong, Weng Fangkai attached great importance to him, he knew that he was old and didn't have much energy to maintain the Super Division, so he recommended Xi Murong in front of Shang Xu, and even gave him the first place in the Daquan, which shows Weng Fangkai's respect for him. But because of this, Shang Xuan didn't believe in Xi Murong as much as he believed in Weng Fangkai, no matter how wonderful Xi Murong was fighting, he thought that Weng Fangkai was the guide, which also showed how stubborn Shang Xuan was!

Qiu Yundu can think of this layer, which also shows that he is by no means short-sighted. If he agreed to Xi Murong to join the Quite Super Department, even if he could survive, with the character of Shang Xu, he would never dare to take the initiative to provoke the Fine Seal Department, and it was extremely difficult to say what kind of achievements he could achieve in the Quite Super Department.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yundu saluted Xi Murong again: "Xi Quanshou's kindness to Yundu is unforgettable in this life, but I still ask Xi Quanshou to forgive him, Yundu has already saved his heart, and he is bound to serve Xi Quanshou." ”

Xi Murong's face didn't look abnormal, he just paused, and said, "I know that Yundu's ambition is very deep, so I won't force Yundu." The road to the north is far away, and the difficulties and dangers are unpredictable. ”

When Qiu Yundu heard this, he couldn't help but be full of gratitude, stood up and saluted Xi Murong deeply: "Yundu remember that Xi Quanshou is affectionate, if there is a fate, Yundu should be the power of Xi Quanshou to serve the power of dogs and horses, even if he is broken, he will never retreat!" ”

Xi Murong also stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You and I meet here, I have nothing else to give away, only a piece of dried meat to be delivered, so that the sergeant can also eat well on the way." ”

Qiu Yundu had to thank him again and say goodbye to Xi Murong and Xi Bukai. There were already hundreds of people in the Pochao army who followed behind Qiu Yundu, each carrying two or three packages on their backs, and the packages were the dried meat that Xi Murong said.

Chao Suotu and the others saw that Qiu Yundu had returned safely, and so much dried meat had been sent, and they were overjoyed, and they all admired Xi Murong. Immediately no longer stayed, and took advantage of the dawn to step up the road.

Xi Murong watched Qiu Yundu leave from a distance, glanced at Xi Bukai who was standing next to him, and said, "How?" Am I right? ”

Xi Bukai said dejectedly: "I just don't understand, why did Qiu Yundu miss such a good opportunity so easily? ”

Xi Murong sighed and said: "Although you are known as the three young leaders of Guli together with Yundu, but when it comes to thinking about things in the long run, I am afraid that you are not inferior to him, the reason why I have long thought that he will not join the Quite Super Department is because of the character of the sect master, Yundu is afraid that he also thought of this, so he did not bend down." ”

Xi Bukai nodded through Xi Murong and said, "If it weren't for the sect master being so weak, how could the Quite Super Department only have the current situation?" ”

Xi Murong shouted coldly: "Don't talk about the sect master behind your back!" ”

Xi Bukai knew that he was speechless, smiled awkwardly, and changed the topic and asked, "From my father's point of view, what is the future of Qiu Yundu?" ”

Xi Murong took a long breath and said: "Although the future is full of difficulties, if Yundu gains a foothold, he will definitely make the world look sideways, Bu Kai, remember what I said: if he can make a difference, it will be another Qiu Bang's appearance, no, it will be even more powerful than Qiu Bang's, and no one in the land of Guli will be his opponent!" ”

Xi Bukai couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and after a long time, Ai Ai asked, "What my father said is not exaggerated?" ”

Xi Murong looked at the direction where Qiu Yundu was gone, and said solemnly: "No!" Even if Qiu Yundu's talent is now almost among the top of the list, if he goes through hardships and hardships, he will definitely become the first person in the world, Bu Kai, maybe we will have to meet him on the battlefield by then! ”

Xi Bukai exclaimed: "In that case, why did my father let him go today?" ”

Xi Murong smiled bitterly, but did not answer.

Qiuyundu broke away from the superdivision without danger and rushed northeast along the edge of Huahu. There are two next roads, one is to go directly west through the range of the Mi Capture Department, and then go north through the White Orchid Department and go straight to the destination - Wei Yuan in the southwest of the Kelan Department, this road is the shortest, but unfortunately the first to pass through the Rice Capture Department has always been connected with the Fine Seal Department, the news of Qiu Yundu's escape may have been sent to the Rice Capture Department with a fast horse, if this is the case, it will be very dangerous to pass through the Rice Capture Department. Therefore, Qiuyundu chose the second road: continue along Huahu, gradually turn north, and then pass through the edge of the meanders of the river to the north to reach the Gongtang department, and pass through the Gongtang department to reach Weiyuan. It's a long way off, but it's much safer.

With a case of dried meat sent by Xi Murong, this iron cavalry army has no hidden danger of starvation for the time being, but even so, these dried meats must be saved, otherwise they will have to rely on hunting and digging grass roots to satisfy their hunger along the way, which is not only easy to expose, but also affects the speed of travel.

But in any case, these dried meats are not forever eaten, and when they enter the meandering territory, there is not much left of these dried meats. And at this time, Qiu Yundu and the others were in a very embarrassing situation: more than 1,000 people were marching in a barren beach in the eastern part of the river meander, where not only were there no trees, but also weeds did not grow, and at a glance it was full of sand and gravel particles, not only could they not find anything to eat, but they also had no water source. After persisting for a few days, Qiu Yundu knew that if this continued, these people were afraid that they would die of hunger and thirst before they could get out of this barren beach, so they had no choice but to order to march due west, so that although they were getting closer and closer to the meanders of the river, they could at least find a forest to live in, and they could find some food.

So in the careful march, less than a day finally saw the green woods, everyone was greatly excited, but Qiu Yundu did not dare to be careless, and successively sent dozens of people to explore around the dense forest, and only after making sure that there was no danger in the dense forest did they enter the forest.

As the surrounding people who continued to inquire about the news returned, Qiu Yundu finally knew where he and the others were. They were in the southeast of the meanders of the river, and it would be a good thing for them to go straight north from here, with trees hidden along the way. But there is also bad news, there is an army stationed in the northwest of their current location, at this time they don't know how many people there are, if they go due north, it is easy for them to find out, although at this time the attitude of the river meandering department towards Qiu Yundu is not yet known, but it is still the same sentence, Qiu Yundu did not dare to gamble at this time, he had to bypass that army. To this end, Qiu Yundu ordered to send a team of 100 people to search for food in the surrounding area, and Niu Ben volunteered to lead the people away, while the rest rested here. Although Qiu Yundu knew that Niu Ben had a reckless temperament, after more than a month of marching, Niu Ben behaved quite well-behaved, so he agreed to let him go, but he didn't know that Niu Ben caused a big disaster this time.

But said that Niu Ben took people out to find food, Qiu Yundu's military order was to find some game or edible wild fruits, grass roots, etc., at the beginning Niu Ben was indeed in accordance with Qiu Yundu's military order, but found too few things to eat, Niu Ben couldn't help but feel anxious, and the scope of the search was getting bigger and bigger. Niu Ben couldn't help but be overjoyed when he looked closely, if there are scattered people here, then there must be cattle, sheep and livestock, and it seems that these scattered people are only a few hundred, and there are no sergeants stationed, if you don't go in and grab some, wouldn't it be a waste of opportunity? Niu Ben immediately ordered a hundred people to gather and slowly approached the scattered people. Because they had gone out in search of food, they had no horses with them, so they waited until they were very close to each other before they got up and ran toward the scattered people. In fact, there was nothing to loot some livestock, as long as it didn't hurt people, it didn't matter, now there are endless looting situations in Guli, and the various tribes also rob each other, but we said before that Niu Ben is not only reckless and brutal, so the hundred people he led not only looted, but also killed, and the people he saw were all hacked to death with knives regardless of old and young, and for a time there were screams here again and again, and the innocent people of Moduo died tragically on the spot, and Niu Ben saw that the killing was almost done, so he ordered everyone to find cattle and sheep, slaughtered them on the spot, and wrapped most of the meat in cloth and carried it on his back, Only then did he slowly retreat into the dense forest.

Qiu Yundu couldn't help but wonder when he saw Niu Ben not coming back for so long, and when he saw Niu Ben carrying packages one by one with everyone, he couldn't help but get up in shock, how could he not see what they were carrying? There was still blood oozing from the packages, and it was impossible for so many packages to catch game, there was only one possibility, they went to rob the people's livestock.

Qiu Yundu stepped forward and pulled Niu Ben and shouted, "How did these come from?" ”

Niu Ben was still proud because he had robbed so much food, and said with a smile: "It just so happened that I met some scattered people, so I grabbed some beef and mutton and came back." ”

Qiu Yundu asked anxiously, "How are those people?" Is it broken? ”

Niu Ben hehehehehe: "How can I let them escape? We have already hacked them to death one by one. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and the nest shouted angrily: "Nonsense, who made you kill someone?" Wouldn't this expose our whereabouts, and make a grudge against the meanders? ”

Niu Ben was stunned for a moment, and argued forcefully: "There are no living people there, how can anyone know?" ”

The nest Tu knows that Niu Ben is a human being, how can he do things cleanly? couldn't help scolding: "As long as one person escapes, our whereabouts will be exposed, you stupid cow, can you be sure that no one will be let go?" ”

Niu Ben didn't dare to guarantee it, and was stunned at the moment.

Qiu Yundu immediately felt unprecedented danger. Once this matter is exposed, this iron cavalry army will no longer be able to hide, if it goes straight to the north, it will be tantamount to throwing itself into a net, and no matter what the attitude of the River Qu tribe has towards him, he will kill their people, the river meandering tribe will definitely not spare himself, so the north no longer dares to go. Going back? It's no longer possible, go east towards Libu? No, before arriving at the Libu, you have to pass through a large barren beach, and you and the others may have starved to death before they arrived at the Libu, and after thinking about it, Qiu Yundu immediately felt that he and the others had fallen into death.

Things are indeed as Qiu Yundu expected, their current situation can be said to be all roads open, and Qiu Yundu encountered the first life and death dilemma since fleeing.

Lao Yan and Chao Suotu also thought of the situation they were in in an instant, but Rao was that they tried their best, but they couldn't come up with a way out.

At this time, Qiu Yundu's clever mind really showed the advantages, and once he saw the predicament he was in, he immediately made a decision. First of all, he summoned Gai Ying and Zongyi, and ordered Gai Ying to take dozens of people to the north to check the movements of that army, which was the closest to this place and was most likely to lead the army first; He also ordered Zongyi to go to the southwest to check, and he expected that there should be a sergeant stationed in the Hequ Division not far away, because it was the border between the Hequ Department and the Miluo Division. After the two left, Qiu Yundu made a very wise decision: to take off all the equipment of the Iron Cavalry and bury it, leaving only weapons and horses, so that although the combat power of the Iron Cavalry will be greatly reduced, at least it will not be recognized as the Iron Cavalry at a glance. When everything was ready, Qiu Yundu gave a puzzling military order: the whole army hurried and marched due west.

Due west, that is the hinterland of the meandering part of the river, the further west it is, the more dangerous it is, but everyone only obeys the order of Qiu Yundu, and there is no hesitation. Soon after everyone left, they saw Gai Ying rushing back from afar and reported to Qiuyundu: "There are 5,000 troops in the north and are rushing towards the dense forest where we were originally staying. ”

Qiu Yundu nodded and said, "They must have discovered our whereabouts." "Instead, he ordered a diversion to the southwest.

Out of the dense forest is already a smooth road, Qiu Yundu ordered to get on the horse and hurry, about ten miles away, faintly found that there are Moduo scattered people living in front, Qiu Yundu climbed a slightly higher place to take a closer look, Xiang Chao Tu ordered: "You take five hundred people to loot, remember, in addition to looting cattle and sheep, but also slaughter all the people, but don't kill them all, leave three or five people to report." ”

Chao Tu was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Why are you still robbing at this time?" But he trusted Qiu Yundu a lot, and immediately took the order to leave, but Qiu Yundu and Lao Yan walked slowly with the rest of the people.

Soon the nest Tu led the people back, and the harvest was quite rich, Qiu Yundu ordered everyone to cooperate in one place, and continued to go southwest, Qiu Yundu said in his heart: "It is best to have scattered people living in front of you." ”
