Xu Detai's voice was quite loud, not only Zhao Xingde relaxed the bowstring, but the other sergeants around him all looked at him. He didn't explain, but walked out from behind the hidden house, stood in the middle of the road at the entrance of the village, and waved his hand.

Lai Ride didn't expect that there was someone hiding in the village, taken aback, they tightened the reins, the war horse neighed and slowed down the iron hooves, and after a dozen rides patrolled outside the village for a while, the leader said in surprise: "Third Uncle Xu!" He jumped off the war horse dozens of steps away from Xu Detai, and the two held hands and saluted, looking extremely familiar and affectionate. Zhao Xingde breathed a sigh of relief and put down his bow and arrows, it seemed that the water had washed the Dragon King Temple. Han armies from all directions are heading towards Huanglongfu to join the alliance, and it is natural to run into an ally along the way.

Xu Detai said a few words to the man, then took him to Zhao Xingde, and said with a smile: "General Zhao, this is Wang Ji, the young general of the village, who has always followed Miss Han to do things. Zhao Xingdeqi said: "Is Miss Han nearby?" Wang Ji nodded and said, "Exactly, we are preparing to set up camp, so let's go to the village to investigate first, and exchange for some food and vegetables by the way." As he spoke, he bowed to Zhao Xingde. Wang Ji escorted Han Ningshuang from the Xia Kingdom, and knew the identity of the captain of the Protector Mansion, and he was quite respectful in his words. The soldiers under his command had already returned to report the news, and not long after, more than 30 cavalry escorted seven or eight carts from the southwest.

Han Ningshuang was dressed in a gray-white narrow-sleeved short coat, covered with wolf skin, deerskin boots, and a sword, bow and arrow bag hanging on the back of the saddle, which was no different from other Han soldiers, only a lock of hair under Zhaojun's hat revealed her daughter's identity. She greeted Zhao Xingde, Xu Detai and others in turn. Xu Detai also introduced the enemy situation and terrain around the village, especially pointing out what happened last night.

Hearing Xu Detai talk about the villagers begging Zhao Xingde and the others not to kill the Khitans near the village, Han Ningshuang frowned slightly and shook his head gently, but Wang Ji said: "I see, you are planning to ambush the Khitan soldiers and horses here. Thinking back to the position where the sergeant of the Chengying Battalion appeared at the beginning, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, if it weren't for Xu Detai recognizing that he was a friend and not an enemy, with the reputation of the Chengying Battalion, he was afraid that a round of dark arrows would come down, and most of his dozen horsemen would fall.

Zhao Xingde nodded and smiled: "Exactly." He looked up into the distance, Xu Detai's heart moved slightly, and secretly said that he still remembered this matter. He remembered that Miss Han's safety was critical, and he was just about to persuade Zhao Demo to regenerate the details, but Han Ningshuang said lightly: "This matter may not need General Zhao to do it for you." She turned around and asked Wang Jidao: "I met the Khitan people who rode more than 20 horses just now, I don't know if it is the group of people that Uncle Xu said?" ”

"What?" Xu Detai was surprised, "You killed those Khitans? ”

Han Ningshuang looked at the village not far away, thoughtfully, and did not answer, Wang Ji nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Just two miles away, these Khitan dogs have unclean mouths, which annoys the eldest lady. He had a look of shame on his face, he only hated that he didn't kill the Khitans fast enough, and he didn't do it until Miss Han was angry.

Looking at the village in front of him, Han Ningshuang's eyes were slightly cold, and he said slowly: "I don't know if it's the same group of Khitan dogs that Uncle Xu said, Wang Ji, you take two people back, drag the body of the Khitan dog that took the lead, and let these villagers identify them one by one." Although her voice was soft, Xu Detai's face changed. The people of this village did everything possible and did not want to be involved in the death of the Khitans, but she did not give up, but she wanted to throw the corpses of the Khitans in this village, and let the villagers identify them one by one, so that no one could get out of the relationship.

Wang Ji received the order and rode away, and Xu Detai looked at Han Ningshuang with a little more awe.

Han Ningshuang said to Zhao Xingde again: "The people of Liaodong have fallen to a precarious situation, and they have been living for a long time under the iron hooves of the Hu people, so they can't help but be a little confused for a while, so that they can make Captain Zhao laugh. ”

Although she said this to Zhao Xingde, Xu Detai felt that his old face was feverish, and the Han army's subordinates had some relatives and acquaintances in the surrounding villages. Originally, the Khitans would never dare to approach the Han army's sphere of influence without hundreds of cavalry, but later, more than a dozen horsemen, and even lone Khitan cavalry, dared to rampage. Over the past few decades, the Khitans have oppressed the Han army's sphere of influence to become smaller and smaller, and the people are becoming more and more afraid to help the Han army, and even some have reported to the Khitans. In the final analysis, it is all the evil result of blindly tolerating at the beginning.

Zhao Xingde nodded, and said in a deep voice: "It is normal for people to be greedy for life and afraid of death, and we must blame Di Yi for being cunning and vicious, and grasping this point to make a fuss." "When he was in Dunhuang, he also heard of this Miss Han who ran at the door of the minister, and many noble ladies and ladies mentioned Han Ningshuang, all of them were in a pitiful tone, so I always looked like a poor weak woman in my mind.

Everyone entered the village while talking, and at first, out of fear that someone would report to the Khitans, the sergeants gathered the whole village around the courtyard of the old man surnamed Zhang. No one was willing to approach the woman who was looking for death, and many village husbands and women did not scold the Khitans, but instead cursed this broom star who brought trouble to the whole village.

As soon as Han Ningshuang stepped into the courtyard, she saw a woman with a pale face, standing under the old elm tree like a lonely ghost, and a sergeant seemed to feel the malice of the villagers, standing beside her with his hand on the hilt of the knife. Han Ningshuang's eyebrows frowned slightly, this scene reminded her of some past events. Xu Detai didn't say much interestingly, just for Miss Han to introduce the leaders of the Hanzhai families who came to the alliance one by one.

It didn't take long for the three war horses to drag the corpse of a Khitan man behind them, and when they appeared in front of the villagers, everyone's eyes widened in horror and there was a buzzing whisper, as if thousands of gnats and flies were falling from the sky. "Oh my God, this is the Khitan people of that day." Zhong Twelve's eyes were very sharp, and he recognized it at a glance. Finally there was a dead man, and seeing this big scene, he first felt a little excitement and a little excitement, and only after a moment did he come back to his senses, and his face turned pale. "It's over, the Khitans are dead in our village."

"Madam, please go and identify it, is this the Khitan who is doing evil?"

This voice woke Zhang Hu from her trance, and when she looked up, she saw that it was the kind-faced military master, who was pointing to the corpse of Sanju not far away, and asked apologetically. Zhang Hushi fixed his eyes, and a long-suppressed indignation and sorrow rushed straight up, as if she was blocked in her chest, she was out of breath, her lips were almost bitten blood, she couldn't speak, and nodded heavily.

Liu Zheng glanced at her apologetically, turned around and nodded to Zhao Xingde, Han Ningshuang was expressionless, Xu Detai saw this, walked to the old man of the Zhang family who was squatting on the ground, and asked in a deep voice: "Among these corpses, are there Khitans who insulted your daughter-in-law?" ”

From last night to now, after experiencing many things, the old man has been a little numb, but he still glanced at the three Khitan corpses in the courtyard, retracted his gaze as if he was frightened, and said tremblingly: "Yes, yes." Xu Detai sighed secretly, ignored him, walked to the next person, and continued to ask. More than a dozen Han soldiers acted at the same time, and soon questioned more than 300 villagers. There are more than 50 people in this village who have seen the violent Khitans.

"Miss Qiyu, the dead man with the border patrol officer Xiao Zhengxi written on the waist card is the culprit here." Xu Detai respectfully said. Witnessing this scene, the other Han army generals also more or less guessed Miss Han's intentions, and they all restrained their hippie smiles and listened to her orders with bated breath.

"The Khitan camp is less than ten miles away from here, and if these twenty or so horsemen do not return after dark, there will be trouble." Han Ningshuang said coldly, she glanced at the old and young villagers who were squatting or standing, these people had desperate fear, panic, sadness and sorrow on their faces. A feeling of uneasiness swelled in her heart, and she immediately forcibly suppressed it, and said in a deep voice, "If I remember correctly, thirty miles east of here, is the Yumai Panshi Mountain of Guangji Ridge, where is our stockade?" ”

"Exactly." Xu Detai replied that they came out of that rock village yesterday. Xue Jingrong, the leader of Panshi Village, stood down, took a step forward when he heard this, and said with a smile: "The eldest lady still remembers my little cottage. There was a look of pride on his face.

Han Ningshuang smiled and nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Tell these people that if you don't want to die, you can run east by yourself." A complicated look flashed in her eyes.

"Obey." Xu Detai replied loudly. He could see that although Han Ningshuang was a woman, she was afraid that she was not under the head of the Han family in the previous generation. Xue Jingrong also smiled and said: Third Brother Xu, originally I only said that the eldest lady was a woman's family, but today I really took it. Knowing this method, I threw the corpses of the Khitans at the door of these greedy and death-fearing guys every day, and told them to throw themselves into the village. When Xue Jingrong said "women's home", Xu Detai's eyes lit up. Fortunately, this hun man did not continue to talk nonsense, Xu Detai did not reprimand him, but said in his heart, if it weren't for the untimely death of Han Da's family and the fact that he didn't have time to leave his son, how could it be necessary for a woman to go through all these ups and downs...... A hint of gloom flashed in Xu Detai's eyes.

People are so strange, when the Han army did not kill the Khitans, everyone knew that the Khitans would come to retaliate, when the three Khitan corpses were placed in front of everyone, most of the villagers had luck, and many people had "Maybe the Khitans can't be traced, right?" "I didn't kill people" and other thoughts, but I rarely think of running for my life immediately. After Xu Detai and Xue Jingrong told these villagers to flee to the east, these self-deceived villagers really panicked, and for a while, there were pots and pans everywhere, chickens and dogs jumped in the village, and only after about a stick of incense did people start to go east one after another.

Although most of the villagers have never been far away, it is very easy to discern the direction of the here and now, and on the top of the mountains, a round of the morning sun is about to erupt, and the sky is full of red glow covering the eastern sky, as long as these people flee towards the place where the sunrise is, they will not lose their way.

Seeing these people fleeing to the east, Zhao Xingde showed a trace of compassion in his eyes, and sighed: "From now on, if you can't fight to the death, you can only flee and flee." The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, this is the era when you want to be a slave but you can't get it, although the world is big, there is no place for people to live secretly. He gently turned the horse's head, and the sergeant of the Chengying Battalion galloped with more than 100 Han soldiers, embracing Miss Han in the middle. The iron hooves of the war horse tossed the soft black soil and galloped towards the Huanglong Mansion of the Jin Kingdom.
