The temperature is lowest in the early hours of the morning, especially when spring has just begun. The cold wind hung into the thin clothes of Tian Mao and the others, and the group was in a trance, their teeth chattering.

The horses weary and weary chewed on the dewy grass on the side of the road.

Liu Chen on horseback was stimulated by the cold air, his body trembled, and he opened his eyes that he didn't know when he closed them, and after shaking, he was about to roll down to the side of the horse's back.

This movement woke up Pei Shen, who was also confused, and quickly dragged Liu Chen's body and let him return to the horse.

"It's dawn!" Tian Mao said in a loud voice, his eyes swollen and his expression tired.

Everyone woke up.

Rubbing his eyes, the horse turned over this hill, and the avenue in front of him was wide, and there was a city in front of him, locking the city.

The city in front of me made the tired horsemen suddenly regain their spirits.

"I've seen the military map, and if there is Suochun City in front, then we have entered the boundary of Stonewall County in the Green Kite Country. Pei said first.

"Didn't there even a soldier at the gate? Zhou Heng also looked at it, and was extremely disappointed.

"After entering the city, hurry up to replenish food, this troubled era to exchange horses for a lot of silver coins. Do you have silver coins on you?" asked Tian Mao.

Everyone fumbled around for a while, and in the end, there were not a few silver coins in total.

"It's all used as a knife, this weapon in troubled times is worth a lot of money. Besides, we only expose the target with us. Lin Lengleng said a reliable way.

"That's all there is to it. Pei Shen groaned and continued.

"Look at this day, there will be a big eagle circling over us soon, and after we enter the city, we will divide into three ways, and all of them will wander among the civilians, how about it? If we are lucky enough to escape and save our lives, we will see you in the capital in ten years. ”

"Of course, I wouldn't blame everyone if I didn't come. ”

After Pei Shu finished speaking, although this was a plan that had been discussed yesterday, there was still a sadness on the faces of several people.

"I don't want to do that, but there's no better way to do it. Today we are separated in this city, this matter is all because of my Tian Mao, I Tian Mao will not forget the days when all brothers lived and died together in the past few days, nor will I forget the days when we were in the military camp together. ”

'Separation' is a sad word at all times, let alone in such a bad situation.

Zhou Heng has already stretched out his hand to wipe his tears, and the man who has always been very arrogant has been crying many times in the past two days.

"Usually, the most common idea is that you are injured, Tian Mao and Wei Sisi, if you have to divide the troops into three ways, you must be the three of you to lead the team. In this way, everyone will have a chance to survive. ”

After the last round of the group entered the city together, the ten-man team was divided into three teams.

Tian Mao, Zhang Heng, Lin Jinyu, and Liu Chen are in a team of four.

Pei Injury, Chen Lengleng, and Ye Jiwen are in a team of three.

Wei Sisi, Ming Jun, and Zeng Ye are in a team of three.

"Remember, ten years later, in the summer, our call code was to buy flatbread with the flavor of pig's trotters and chicken thighs. You all know why. ”

There was a loud shout, and the tired horses' hooves trampled into the city.

.

.

As the sun rose, several hovering sky-skimming eagles were ushered in.

Tian Mao and the four of them lowered their heads and shuttled among the refugees who were lying or leaning.

Although the city was large, the city became a concentration camp for refugees because the rulers and the guards abandoned the city, and several large forces from the refugees seized control of the entire city, and the order was extremely chaotic.

The country is ruined, and the strong of the weak exudes a desire to grasp power.

Tian Mao's four people led the horses to attract a lot of attention, but all eyes were focused on the standard broadswords hung on the waists of several people, of course, with the deterrent power formed by this broadsword, the curious people around them did not dare to approach.

"The standard broadsword of the Daxing Expeditionary Force. Someone in the crowd said.

With just one sentence, the people around him instantly turned red-eyed, and they consciously gathered in this open space to surround the four of them in the middle.

This situation frustrated Tian Mao's original plan to quietly evacuate in the crowd, and became the target of public criticism in an instant. He lowered his head and looked around, not daring to make any drastic moves.

The word Daxing inspired all the refugees to hate the country and family, and there were constantly crazy insults.

"Dog's day, Daxing wolfdog. ”

"Miscellaneous, brute. ”

Stones, leaves, and rotten eggs smashed into the four of them.

The horses were frightened and neighed violently. Fortunately, it was a military horse, which was brutally trained and did not break free from the reins and escape.

"What should I do?" Zhou Heng asked Tian Mao as he dodged the unidentified objects that swarmed around.

"Draw the knife, go out first!" Tian Mao said.

"Whoa!" A few sounds of the knife coming out of the sheath, Tian Mao and the four of them clenched their broadswords and walked forward.

The sharp blades forced the onlookers to back away and make way for a few people to pass.

"Damn, I thought it was a good thing, I could exchange it for some silver coins, but I almost became a talisman. Zhou Heng said angrily.

Liu Chen had not been calm for a long time, and after being frightened by this time, he turned into a trance again, and any sound made him have an abnormal reaction.

"Tune!" the sky-skimming eagle in the sky chirped and circled, keeping all of Tian Mao's actions in sight.

Liu Chen led the horse with one hand, grabbed Tian Mao's arm tightly with the other, and looked at the sky-skimming eagle very anxiously: "It's over, it's over, has it been discovered?"

Thousands of plans can't keep up with the changes, and the ability of this big eagle is beyond their imagination.

Tian Mao watched the Sky Skimming Eagle circling, and said coldly with a gloomy look in his eyes at the moment: "Now there is only one way." Grab something, go, but don't hurt anyone. ”

A group of refugees were still looking at Tian Mao, and Tian Mao turned his head to look at everyone.

Zhou Heng handed over the horse rope to Liu Chen, came out directly from Tian Mao's side, and rushed towards the crowd with a knife, targeting the two skinny horses with a simple truck tied to the stone teeth behind the crowd.

Lin Jinyu followed.

Looking at the two people rushing over, this group of refugees panicked, they never thought that two of the four people alone would dare to rush towards so many people, looking at the murderous aura on their faces, this is a desperate look.

If these people were united, Zhou Heng and Lin Jinyu, who rushed up, would definitely be planted here, but how could they have this kind of awareness, but as long as some people can have this kind of awareness, they will not become refugees.

Zhou Heng and the two rushed faster and faster, and the refugees retreated faster and faster, and several people tripped and fell to the ground, kicking their legs and continuing to retreat.

"Ahh

Zhou Heng and the others ignored it, went straight to the two thin horses, and cut the rope with a knife.

The two of them stepped on the truck pulling goods behind, threw several large boxes on the ground in three or two times, lifted a few large cloth bags and glanced at them, and then threw all the sacks out of the carriage, which was not the imaginary grain.

"Driving" two people with a rope, whipped the horse's buttocks, and the sore horse rushed out of the crowd.

Tian Mao grabbed Liu Chen and boarded the carriage in two steps, and the carriage ran wildly along the road.

Someone in the back cried: "My horse!

Zhou Heng grinned and shouted: "Find your mother, ask your father to go." ”

Tian Mao helped Liu Chen, who was paralyzed, to arrange it in the carriage without a canopy, and said to the crying man: "Four horses for two horses." It's tired, but you're not at a loss, so don't scream. ”

The weeping man turned around and saw the four horses still swaying in the same place, and turned into laughter.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, this is my horse. ”

Half an hour after Tian Mao entered the city, a team of people appeared in front of the hill where Tian Mao had just discussed their plans, looking at Suochun City from afar.

At this time, in Suochun City, there are several places where chickens and dogs are jumping.

The leader looked up at the hovering Sky Skimmer Eagle.

"Caught up. Didn't go far. It must have been the Sky Skimmer that made them panic. ”

"Enter the city, those who stand in the way, kill directly!"

All the soldiers threw away the delicate horse grass they had stuffed into their horses' mouths, drew their broadswords and ran towards Suochun Castle.

The soldiers entering the city quickly determined the direction and slashed down the refugees on both sides who had not paid attention or had not had time to dodge.

Tian Mao was only two streets away from this group of soldiers at this time.

The loud sound of his forehead made Tian Mao discover the movement.

"Slow!" Tian Mao roared, "the pursuers have already entered the city. ”

Zhou Heng and Lin Jinyu reined in the horse's rope and slowed down their pace.

Liu Chen heard Tian Mao's words, moved his sitting body and hugged his head, not daring to look around.

They went in the other direction, not knowing if they found Pei Injury or Wei Sisi. Tian Mao continued.

Zhou Heng frowned and asked, "What now?"

"We're still heading towards the north gate, it's quieter, they're not paying attention to us now. ”

"Then isn't it that Pei Injury or Wei Sisi's group is in danger?"

Tian Mao said helplessly: "I can only pray that they can be safe." ”

As far as there was any peace, after the pursuers entered the city, a group of three horses rushed out of the north gate first, and it was obvious that the frequency of the horses' breathing was increasing, and the hooves of the ground were a little sluggish.

This group went out, and another group of three rushed to the city gates.

Tragedy struck, and before the group left the city gates, one of them was shot off his horse by an arrow and rolled on the ground.

The other two horses had no time to care about the man, and rushed straight out of the city gate.

It's not that they don't want to care, it's just that the behavior of the dozen or so soldiers in armor and armor who are chasing after them is not an attitude that they want to stay alive.

More than a dozen horsemen pursued them, and Tian Mao's carriage slowly came to the city gate.

"Zeng Ye! That's Zeng Ye. Zhou Heng saw the person lying on the ground, with a broken arrow stuck in his chest, and his face was scratched because of rolling on the ground, and he was scarred. He lay quietly on the ground, unconscious.

Tian Mao hugged Zhou Heng, who was struggling to get out of the carriage, gritted his teeth, tears blurred the scars on his face.

He handed the horse rope in Zhou Heng's hand to Lin Jinyu and hugged Zhou Heng tightly with both hands.

"Let's go, get out of town and head northwest. ”
