Song Sima looked at the bloody head not far away, and there was a strong fear in his heart for no reason. Under the filthy bloodstain, Hao Shaoqi's eyes were still wide with anger, and his angry and unyielding eyes seemed to question Song Sima over and over again, asking him why he disregarded his loyalty and turned his back on the enemy to join the enemy.

Every time they looked at each other, Song Sima couldn't help but look away, but the more he escaped, the more powerful the force drove him to secretly aim at Hao Shaoqi's head again.

"What do you do?"

Song Sima's cramped performance was seen by a young man, who was full of contempt and walked over and kicked him in the waist. Around the young man, soldiers were busy shuttling through the soldiers who packed up their equipment and straightened their armor. As soon as Song Sima looked at the person, he hurriedly bowed and groveled: "Villain, villain doesn't dare to do anything, just wait for your adults to fall." ”

Since being included in Zhao Ying, Song Sima has climbed to a high position step by step with his own ability. He has become the leader of hundreds, thousands of soldiers, he is no longer the broken family that lived in the fields and let others slaughter, he has slowly become accustomed to giving orders and reprimanding others. However, being here, just listening to the young man's words, he was beaten back to his original form in an instant, and returned to the state of servility and servitude for decades before.

The young man ignored him, looked up and saw a person pacing in the distance, and asked, "Kuang Shibo, have you found it?" ”

It was a middle-aged man, with a tough body and a red face, but now there was a lot of fatigue between his eyebrows. The middle-aged man sighed, shook his head, and said, "No." Then he said, "Kong Zhao, do you have any clues over there?" ”

The young man also shook his head and said nothing, but at this time, Song Sima knelt down, kowtowed to the middle-aged man three times, and arched his hand to the top and said, "The villain has seen Master Kuang!" When he finished speaking, he fell to the ground and trembled. Shicai, he has roughly judged through the words of the soldiers around him that the official army that attacked Huweipo came from two sources, one was the family of Xining's soldiers, and the other was the township soldier of Lu Daqi, the head of the Wenxuan of the former Ministry of Officials. And the two people in front of him are talking to each other, the middle-aged man is Kuang Zhao, and the young man is Lu Qian, the eldest son of Lu Daqi.

Lu Qian, who has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, is only seventeen or eighteen this year, but he is already very old when he talks, he glanced at Song Sima who was curled up into a ball, and said to Kuang Zhao: "Shibo, this person killed the thief ditch, and he came to surrender, how to deal with it?" As he spoke, he didn't wait for Kuang Zhao to reply, and asked himself, "This thief is treason and disloyalty; It is unrighteous to betray the Lord now. It is better to be escorted back to Suining to be beheaded on the street, and the thief canal will be hung together with the public to show the public, in order to kill the power of the thief and the will of the government and the people! The words were sharp.

Song Sima was shocked when he heard this, he was so frightened that he trembled like chaff, he couldn't care about anything, he took two steps on his knees and wanted to get close to Kuang Zhao, but he stopped the officers and soldiers halfway, Rao was like this, he still had a handful of snot and tears, crying and begging for mercy. The more than ten soldiers of the Zhao Battalion who were detained with him also wailed loudly. The terrible sound went straight into the sky, like a group of lonely ghosts swimming in the middle of the night.

Lu Qian looked at Kuang Zhao with deep eyes on his face expectantly, but the answer he was waiting for disappointed him.

"Shu'er hasn't been found yet, it's still useful to keep this person."

At the moment of life and death, Song Sima's brain teaser was in a hurry, and when he heard that "Shu'er" seemed to be a woman's maiden name, he didn't care about 3721, and opened his mouth to shout: "Adult, adult!" The villain knows! The villain had seen the woman...... I saw Miss, she, she was caught by thieves earlier...... Please come to the camp ......" He was in a panic, and the title and word order were completely out of the horse's mouth, but the general meaning was still revealed.

Lu Qian glanced at Kuang Zhao, turned around, kicked Song Sima again, gritted his teeth and said, "Shu'er was really killed by you!" ”

"No, no, no! Wronged, wronged! Song Sima repeatedly said forgiveness, and the well-spring tears salivated along the criss-crossed folds of his face, and he raised his hand and swore an oath, "The villain will eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, and he will not dare to harm the young lady." The villain assured that just yesterday, the young lady was still safe and sound in the camp! He didn't know who the "Shu'er" in Kuang Zhao's mouth was, but he saw that Kuang and Lu were deeply concerned about this person, and they didn't dare to slack off in their words.

With Song Sima in custody, there was also a personal soldier of Yang Zhaofeng, and he also said: "The villain saw that the young lady was captured by the mountain bandits in the mountains and forests a few days ago, and he helped her and invited her back to the camp. If it weren't for a few of us, Miss would have given the mountain bandits a light touch! ”

What he said was the truth, but Lu Qian didn't buy it, walked over and "snapped" to give him two big-eared scrapers, and scolded: "Dog, nonsense!" As he spoke, he pulled the soldier's hair, "Let me ask you, what kind of clothes did Shu'er wear that day?" ”

The soldier assigned Yang Zhaofeng to carry the woman back to the camp at that time, although he didn't deliberately remember it, but his life was at stake, his thinking was lively, and he said without thinking: "Blue and white is better than armor, and there is still a white veil!" As soon as the words fell, I felt a loosening of my head, and it seemed that the answer was not bad.

Lu Qian looked at Kuang Zhao who was full of sorrow and said, "Shibo, it seems that Shu'er is undoubtedly robbed by these thieves. Since the fox tail slope is nowhere to be seen, it must have been taken away by the thieves who fled. Speaking of this, he asked Song Sima again, "Thief, say, do you intend to cause trouble in Suining?" ”

Song Sima Lian said that he didn't dare, but said: "Zhao Dangshi sent troops south, and Hao Qian and I ...... Hao Shaoqi and others came to Suining to explore the way for the front. If you knew that Suining had Lord Kuang and Lu Gongzi in charge, you wouldn't dare to come if you gave a hundred more dares! As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Hao Shaoqi's head again.

When Lu Qian heard this, he said to Kuang Zhao: "This Zhao Dangshi has been quite popular recently, and he is not an ordinary Xiaokou, if Shu'er falls into his hands, I am afraid it will not be easy to do." As he spoke, he was a little annoyed, and with a "sigh" he thrust the short sword in his hand into the soil.

Kuang Zhao nodded and said: "Shaanxi Erchuang, Li and Zhao said together, Governor Hong gathered heavy troops from the three provinces, and he could not be destroyed. Now with the Sichuan, it is not a small disaster. He said, "At present, Li Chuang is still stuck in Chengdu, and Zhao Chuang is going his separate ways, looking at his movements, he will definitely come to Suining in the near future." Even if Shu'er doesn't plunder them, if they can't resist the attack of the Zhao thieves, when Suining City is broken, Shu'er and even you and I will still inevitably die......," he said, looking at Lu Qian, a few lines of head-raising revealed the vicissitudes of life.

Lu Qian is so smart, even if he knows what he means, he first muttered: "Shibo's meaning, if there is no Suining, everything is insignificant, so everything must be Baosuining first......" Then frowned and shook his head, and said eagerly, "If so, can you just watch Shu'er fall into the thief camp?" ”

The Lu family and the Kuang family are also local noble families, and there is no lack of in-law relationship between the two ethnic groups living next to each other. Lu Daqi and Kuang Zhao have a very close relationship, and Kuang Zhao's wife is still pregnant, so Lu Daqi is married to Lu Qian. Later, although Lu Qian and Shu'er rarely met, he knew that this woman was likely to be his wife in the future. The reason why Kuang Zhao escorted his family back to his hometown this time was largely to put his daughter's marriage on the agenda. For Lu Qian, there is no doubt that he has regarded Shu'er as his fiancée. However, before the matter came to fruition, there was such a storm halfway, and his anger and unwillingness can be imagined.

Kuang Zhao's anxiety and anger in his heart were no worse than Lu Qian's, but he was old and skilled, and he was past the age of being self-willed, and he could see the situation more clearly than the young and vigorous Lu Qian. He knew that although Suining had a county, it was a straw bale, and it was useless. Lu Daqi is the biggest gentleman in Suining, and he is the person with the strongest voice in Suining. The matter involves not only his own daughter, but also the safety of the entire Suining, whether it is saving his daughter or protecting Suining, without Lu Daqi's nod, everything is empty talk.

"When the village is cleaned up, go back to Suining first, and I want to meet your father." Kuang Zhao's heart was in turmoil, and he didn't want to talk to a hairy boy like Lu Qian anymore, so he turned his back, "Also, the head of the thief and these people are all optimistic." It's useful to keep it. ”

Although Lu Qian was unwilling, he still nodded and promised. When Song Sima heard this, he cried bitterly and kept kowtowing.

Occasionally, a few crows could be heard in the vast mountains, adding to the cold, scarcity of the forest. Yang Zhaofeng carefully paid attention to the mountain road under his feet, not daring to be careless. The sound of the leather boots rubbing against the cold earth and stone was particularly crisp to him.

Safely descended a steep slope and turned a bend, but what appeared in front of him was the same scenery as before, the same mountains, the same forests, it seemed that this mountain range was boundless.

Yang Zhaofeng sighed, a little frustrated. Even so, he had no choice but to swallow the bitterness and move on.

"Fengzi, when the injury is healed, let's eat a few more cups!"

Recalling the last words that Hao Shaoqi said to himself at the entrance of the village that night, Yang Zhaofeng couldn't help but burst into tears. In just a few hours, a close person can disappear forever from his side and in his life. He wanted to ask why, but he also understood that no one would ever be able to tell him the answer.

From time to time, a cold and biting wind blew in the valley, burrowing through the holes in the armor, causing the body to tremble violently involuntarily.

Yang Zhaofeng tightened his neck, trying to make his whole body smaller. With a twitch on his nose, he couldn't help but sneeze.

Not far away, a figure appeared from the bend, it was Cui Shuqiang. He just wanted to speak, but before he could say anything, he sneezed hard and sneezed. He sniffed and found that Yang Zhaofeng had tears in his eyes, pretending not to see, squinting to the side, and said, "There are no officers and soldiers in front." ”

Yang Zhaofeng took advantage of people's inattention to wipe away the tears, and at this time, an exclamation suddenly sounded in his ears: "It's not good, it's not good, the little lady has fainted, the little lady has fainted!" ”

This sentence made him have no time to talk to Cui Shuqiang again, and when he looked at it urgently, he saw that the lips of the woman on the back of a soldier were white, her eyes were closed, and her feet hung down weakly.

"It's cold in the mountains, this little lady hasn't eaten or drunk for two days, I'm afraid it's hard to get through." Cui Shuqiang leaned in and probed the woman's snort, "But there is still gas, and I can't die for a while." As he spoke, he couldn't help but touch the top of his smooth head, which had already been blown blue and purple by the mountain wind.

"Find a nearby shelter and rest on the fire." Yang Zhaofeng said without hesitation, before he finished speaking, he saw that all the soldiers turned their eyes to Cui Shuqiang. Only then did he remember that although he had the title of "staff officer", he had no strength. At present, more than ten soldiers of Zhao Ying are following him, in fact, they are all looking forward to the fierce and ferocious Cui Shuqiang. Cui Shuqiang didn't agree, they wouldn't follow Yang Zhaofeng.

Cui Shuqiang frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Staff officer, what do you have to take her to do?" Taking care of her is both food and slow, so why bother to eat yourself? ”

Yang Zhaofeng knew that the current situation was very delicate. To put it mildly, Cui Shuqiang gave an order, and he and the woman would be dismembered by random knives and die in this ravine, no one knew. Cui Shuqiang can swagger back to Zhao Ying or find his own way. But a sense of responsibility drove him to stand up for his opinions.

"Her origin is unknown, so she may be useful to my battalion." Because he couldn't find any other reason, Yang Zhaofeng had to forcibly explain with a kind of speculation, and after speaking, he looked at Cui Shuqiang with a firm appearance and a worried heart.

After a while, Cui Shuqiang sighed and said, "It's okay, just listen to the staff officer." Anyway, I'm tired of walking, so I'm looking for a place to rest. No one knows what he thinks in his heart, but at least from now on, he doesn't have any bad thoughts about Yang Zhaofeng.

Everyone found a small hill, lit a small bonfire, and sat around to keep warm. Yang Zhaofeng carried the unconscious woman to him, took off his coat to cover her, and took care of her by pilling her head on his lap. Cui Shuqiang saw it, and said twice: "The staff officer has really read books, and he is meticulous and gentle in doing things." I don't want us to be coarse and hairy. ”

Yang Zhaofeng was in a depressed mood, speechless, observed the bark not far away, and said, "Look at the direction, we should have run to the south." The officers and troops in the north should go to the east first, find the Tsing Yi army, and then make a plan. ”

There are officers and troops stationed in the north of Suining, and further north, Guo Ruke and Qin Jinxiao are still stationed in Shehong, and the old army and the Feijie army are advancing along the Fujiang River by land and water. Therefore, for the sake of today's plan, it is better to go to the east to find the Tsing Yi Army that was the vanguard with the right battalion at the beginning.

Cui Shuqiang had no objection and nodded yes, but at the moment of nodding, his right eyelid suddenly jumped.
