Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Misty Swamp

The sky is just bright, the tree is slightly on the new branches, the morning dew drops on the branches, along the branches and leaves slowly slide down, and then fall to the ground, this is their own gift to the earth, the morning is the best time of the day when all things are recovering, during this time, the industrious little bees get up to pick flowers and make honey, the birds are also singing happily, and in Chang'an City, Lin Maolin, Wu Dier and Drought Fish and others have come to the city gate.

"Brothers, I am sorry to tell you that today you are going to stay away from this city, it can be said that you are unlucky, but it can also be said that you are very lucky, because history will tell the people who come after you, there was once such a team on the Central Plains, they overcame all obstacles, passed five levels, killed six generals, and where they passed, the enemy fled when they heard the wind, and the people welcomed them with drums and dances. Because of such an army, they created a legend, and his name was - the Great Army of the Northern Expedition.

Suddenly, a soldier stood up and said, "General, will it be smooth sailing for us to go?" I don't know if we can meet the Beidi army, and ask the general to guide a clear road. ”

Lin Maolin said solemnly: "This question is good, now you also know the situation in the Central Plains, some people want to secretly cause chaos, collude with foreign enemies, and try to engage in some underground secret deeds, I can swear to everyone here, our Beidi army will not be affected by any secret organization, every general here is a united front, and we have only one purpose, that is, to recover the land and let the people live a happy and beautiful life." ”

Just then, a head popped up.

"Is General Wu Dier here? Is General Wu Dier here? ”

I saw a man in a snow-white dress poking his head out and asking two questions.

Lin Maolin looked over and saw that Wu Dier had already walked towards the girl: "May I ask you for something about me?" ”

The little girl seemed a little nervous and said, "General Wu Dier, can I ask you something?" ”

Wu Dier said casually: "It's okay, you ask, I promise you that you will tell the truth." ”

The girl moved her foot after getting Wu Dier's answer, looking very happy, and then said: "Thank you General, the little girl came to Luoyang, but there was a major case in our place a month ago, and dozens of people have disappeared mysteriously in this case, after my several investigations, but the enemy is too cunning, we just found a little clue and the enemy destroyed the evidence, not long ago, even my own county government was ......"

Speaking of this, the girl couldn't help shedding tears, Wu Dier was very gentlemanly handed over a towel and comforted: "There is nothing in the world that cannot be overcome, didn't you find us today, it just so happens that we are also rushing to Luoyang, what do you tell us all the way?" ”

"My name is Li Xue, and I am a small catcher of the county government, and I am also the biological daughter of the county government. I'm familiar with Luoyang, I can show you the way, and if you're bored, I can sing you a song that's very popular there, and help you get rid of your fatigue.

Drought Fish was the first to be interested, and said: "I just don't like boring things, take her, bring him." ”

I saw that the drought had lost the burly and iron-clad masculinity of the past, but at this time, the drought had a little more tenderness, which made Lin Maolin and Wu Dier on the side very speechless.

After Wu Dier glanced at Uncle Zhou Huang, Uncle Zhou Huang looked back, the meaning was already very clear, you can solve your own affairs, I can't care about this matter and don't want to take care of it.

Wu Dier turned his head and looked at Li Xue with a pitiful face and said with pity: "Okay, then you can go with us." ”

"Let's go!"

General Li, who had been staying by Uncle Zhou's side, suddenly ordered.

Everyone just wanted a well-trained soldier to rush to line up, not at all want to be just enlisted, maybe they have been used to seeing well-trained soldiers in this Chang'an city or in the wilderness, and now they are learning in a good way, but this donkey to read the record book of kung fu is not home, I saw that there are a few people in the long line who are dedicated to aligning the people in front, but no matter how they align, the team is still crooked, and the gap is also large and small, The spacing is different, which also makes Lin Maolin a headache.

General Li said majestically: "Imperial City Army, you do it to them in front, and try to teach them the skills of standing in line during the march, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask them directly, the Imperial City Army will carefully and seriously give you the skills of marching and fighting, the Royal Army will return to the Imperial City at the end of the trip to Luoyang, and in this process, you can ask the Royal Army if you have any problems or what you can't solve, and the Royal Army will definitely help you." ”

Just as General Li spoke, dozens of soldiers with weapons and armor came to the front of the Zhou people, and a huge sound of footsteps sounded, dozens of footsteps stomped down but only one sound sounded, "Bang", even the heartbeat seemed to be only one, seeing the stunned expressions of the soldiers, Wu Dier stood up and said: "Brothers, you have just been recruited, and you don't know much about military things, but I believe that you will know more in the near future, Our purpose is to train you into a warlike, good at fighting, capable of fighting, and will win without a fight, you are the future king of the army, but now only by constantly working hard and forging ahead, keep sharpening yourself to succeed, so, I don't want to see any of you lag behind and not want to forge ahead, in that case I will directly hit him and kick out of the army, I don't like to talk about human feelings, because the battlefield is a cold enemy will not sit down with you to talk, who let you shoulder the heavy responsibility, cheer me brothers, I will personally supervise you in the next month, who is working hard, who is lazy I can see clearly, I also believe that you are here to make meritorious contributions, or some of them are here for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, so no matter what your purpose is, today we have only one slogan, that is, to go to the north to meet the enemy, the sword roars, the enemy flees in the wilderness, the people put on their uniforms again, and the harvest day is a happy time for the family. In order to protect our home and defend the country, we planted the battle flags of the military divisions wherever they went. ”

The brothers cheered and jumped, everyone had learned in a good way, now the situation is not peaceful, the emperor specially asked each city to send a hundred battle-hardened soldiers to escort them and teach them skills when they select good talents, and they can not come back until the end of the selection in Luoyang. Just as the brothers were fighting, the sun had already set.

Back to the morning of this day, Lin Maolin saw Zhao Wei and his younger brother running out when he went out, the two looked at Lin Maolin with affection, Zhao Wei said: "Lin Maolin, thank you for taking care of our sisters for so many days, this courtyard is your hard work, but our sisters are enjoying it, this is not fair to you, and it will not be a good thing for me and my brother, after all, this will have a great impact on my brother's heart, once the idea of unearned income is formed, it will be the beginning of pain, So I don't want to put ourselves in this comfortable place because you let us live, we want to fight with you in the army, my brother can follow you to practice martial arts, and I can take care of your food and clothing. ”

After speaking, Zhao Wei and her younger brother knelt on the ground and begged Lin Maolin to take them, looking at these two people who have been lonely since childhood, Lin Maolin thought of himself Why not, since childhood, his parents and relatives have left one after another, leaving him alone to live in this world, if he did not have the care of Uncle Zhou and his master, he may no longer exist now, Lin Maolin remembered the tribulations in his life, and the nobles of the tribulations, Lin Maolin's heart was tight and he couldn't bear to refuse the two sisters and brothers.

Lin Maolin helped Zhao Wei and his younger brother Zhao Kang to get up, and then said to the sister and brother: "Have you thought about it, this must be more auspicious and less auspicious, the Beidi army and some underworld forces in the imperial court, they are all extremely powerful existences, and our army is only a team of 5,000 people who have just been established, if we want to survive this cruel war, we have to pay more sweat and a hundred times more effort than ordinary people." ”

Zhao Wei smiled at Lin Maolin and said, "I'll go wherever you go." ”

Lin Maolin didn't expect Zhao Wei's answer to be a headache for him, and he was still fighting in the army with old and weak women and children, which really made Lin Maolin a little uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, it may be a trace of pity in his heart, Lin Maolin still agreed to the request of the two sisters and brothers.

"I can take the two of you there, but we have to make three chapters of the law. First, it is okay to follow the army, but you can't do anything out of line; Second, you have to listen to me in everything, and if you dare to run away with others or rebel, you will bear the consequences; Third, when do you have to consult with me before you can make a decision? ”

Zhao Wei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, how did he know what Lin Maolin thought, he simply thought that Lin Maolin was all for his sister and brother, if it wasn't for himself and his younger brother who would have died in the hands of the enemy or had starved to death on the streets because of famine.

"Tell the general, beyond the swamp in front of you is Luoyang."

A sentry flew up to report. Chen Yang took the token and said to the sentry, "Got it, you go down." ”

After the sentry finished the report, he gradually retreated, Chen Yang came and glanced at Lin Maolin, and then turned around and came to Uncle Zhou: "Tell Uncle Zhou, there is a swamp ahead, and this swamp is the only way to Luoyang, so I will lead the troops over to explore the way." ”

Chen Yang bowed his hand and retreated directly.

Chen Yang led more than 100 men and horses to the swamp. But Lin Maolin asked Uncle Zhou Huang puzzled: "What is this Chen Yang doing, why is he so anxious." ”

Uncle Zhou Huang said directly: "General Lin doesn't have to worry, there is a swamp in front of him, and the swamp is the only passage, we can only reach Luoyang through the swamp, so Chen Yang hurried over just to test whether the swamp can pass people, or whether it is safe under the swamp, whether our army will be intercepted in the past, and so on."

Just when Lin Maolin and Uncle Zhou Huang were talking, at this time, a sentry came to report.

"Oh no, General Chen and a group of Japanese robbers fought, and the fight was very tragic, I don't know why, the two sides had a dispute, and General Chen seems to have encountered some danger."

Lin Maolin and Uncle Zhou Huang heard the sentry say this and hurried to the swamp, just when their soldiers and horses rushed to the swamp area, they saw a group of people killing the generals, a row of bows and arrows came to attack, Lin Maolin ordered: "The warrior stepped forward and raised the shield in your hand to block this attack for me." ”

A group of strong men with shields in their hands, and they followed one by one, blocking Lin Maolin and Uncle Zhou in an orderly manner.

"Crackling" Countless bows and arrows hit the shield with a sonorous sound, and suddenly a bow and arrow shuttled away, with a sharp energy, and after a while, only a sharp sound was heard, the shield was directly pierced, and the arrow passed through the shield and the soldier holding the shield, although everyone could not feel the attacking bow and arrow, but there was a person, he could detect the threat in the distance with his senses.

"Uncle Zhou Huang be careful!"

Lin Maolin directly pushed away Uncle Zhou Huang, and when the arrow attacked Lin Maolin, there were countless bows and arrows behind him, and Lin Maolin thought that this was terrible.

Before Lin Maolin could finish speaking, the soldier who had been pierced through the chest by the sharp arrow immediately fell to the ground, and the shield in his hand also fell, and then attacked countless sharp blades, and by this time many soldiers had already fallen.

Lin Maolin faced the attacking bow and arrow, the bow and arrow was like an unstoppable beast, it was impossible to say, it had already attacked Lin Maolin in less than an instant, and when the bow and arrow were only 0.01 cm away from Lin Maolin, the bow and arrow never advanced half a step.

"Break it for me."

With Lin Maolin's loud shout, all the bows and arrows that were originally flying towards him turned into nothingness, and a cloud of powder disappeared into the wind.

Lin Maolin waved his sleeves and came directly to the edge of the swamp, and shouted at the swamp: "Listen up, the people inside, I, Lin Maolin, must go over today, if you dare to stop it again, then we can't be friends but enemies." ”

After a sound, there was no sound from under the swamp to answer him.

Lin Maolin continued: "The brothers found agarwood, and the wood knocked on the surface of the swamp, and the agarwood leaves were thrown into the swamp. ”

Suddenly, on a small flat dirt slope in the swamp, as the soil slope moved slightly, a person slowly stood up and said, "Who should I be?" It turned out to be from Chang'an, disrespectful and disrespectful, I heard that Lin Maolin, the sworn brother of Wu Dier in Chang'an City, won the championship? Everyone rushed to Luoyang, I waited for just some rural villagers who fell into the grass, and asked the adults to ignore me, so let me wait. ”

Lin Maolin didn't want to cause more trouble, so he could only choose a more secure and effective method.

"If you let us go now and promise not to suddenly ambush us, we will spare you, but if you are halfway through the middle of the year and your people suddenly kill you, we will not be able to do it, so let's all come ashore and lay down your weapons, and I will trust you."

And the man in the russet clothes covered in mud said a little hesitantly: "This, this, wait for me to report to our eldest brother, see if your proposal is feasible, if you can, please also ask General Lin to leave a signature, I can wait to keep a souvenir." ”

After saying that, the man disappeared from everyone's sight, and there was still a cave under this swamp.

"Big brother, there is a person from Chang'an in front, and that General Lin seems to know the way to crack our swamp, seeing that what he said is the Tao, his subordinates can only come to tell the eldest brother, and we can't stop them."

As far as the eye can see, a greasy middle-aged man sits on a long square chair, and there are two charming women on the left and right sides of this man, one of these two women is holding the left hand of the middle-aged man, and the other is holding the right hand of the middle-aged man, and they are constantly making all kinds of sultry movements, and the whole nest is full of people who are in the same stream.

The middle-aged man's name is Guo Dafu, and he has no real talent, two years ago he was a butcher who killed pigs and sold meat on the street, and now he has become the leader of a group of well-trained soldiers under this empty swamp, and this matter is a long story.

"What are you doing to eat, can't the people of Little Chang'an City solve it? Come up with me and meet him. ”

A group of people suddenly came out of the swamp, and the leader of this group of people was the greasy middle-aged uncle Guo Dafu.

"Hello, I heard that you are going to Luoyang, our brother has been here for seven years, today we want to do a big vote, I don't know if you can go to object."

Lin Maolin didn't want to sell his face, but just now Lin Maolin and Uncle Zhou Huang found the Beidi token left by Chen Yang from the ground, it seems that the enemy may already have bargaining chips, and the negotiations between Lin Maolin and Guo Dafu are about to begin.
