Chapter 113: The Wind Rises (10)

Black smoke rises into the sky, making it stand out against the background of the clear afternoon sky.

The villages around the Sanggan River Valley all saw this pillar of smoke, and they all recognized the place where Xujialu was located.

Mrs. Xu is known to everyone, an old man who is strict and deep, how many bandits and horse thieves he has leveled for the Sanggan River Valley more than ten years ago, and built this Xu Jialu settlement from scratch. It relies on farming and business to support the livelihood of this village.

Although Mrs. Xu has little contact with other villages, the prestige of more than ten years ago has gradually dissipated. But the surrounding villages still respect him very much, and they often have to invite him whenever they have a spring wine or something like that. But most of them were politely rejected by Mrs. Xu.

The grandson of Mrs. Xu, many people have also seen it. is really a young man with clear eyebrows, and his smile makes people feel like a spring breeze. Whoever sees it has to praise it. In the future, it will take over the Xu family's belongings. Many village chiefs who have daughters at home have hit this little Langjun with their ideas, but all the things about parenting have been rejected by Mrs. Xu, and everyone has diluted this thought.

In the past few years, Mrs. Xu's health has become more and more unsuccessful, and she has less contact with the surrounding villages. Everyone was also busy dealing with the deteriorating world, worried and afraid of the increasingly ferocious southern invasion of the Turks, and paid less and less attention to Xu Jialu.

But today, this village, which has always been indisputable with the world, is on fire and billowing black smoke!

On weekdays, people in various villages in the Sanggan River Valley, which have always been watching and helping each other, have already gone to fight fires and save people.

But in front of him, a team of Ma Yi Ying soldiers fiercely rushed straight to Xu Jialu, who dared to act rashly? Wang Taishou and his subordinates are ruthless, and the whole county is famous, who dares to put themselves in it?

I really don't know how Mrs. Xu offended these eagle dogs under Wang Taishou's command, it's a pity that the old lady has the clear-eyed Le Langjun under her knees!

Seeing the fire, Shi Chaozhi's face also changed, and he waved his horsewhip. The brigade that had still maintained its horsepower drove their mounts one after another, leaving one soldier behind each fire with pack mules to follow, and the rest of the men let go of their horses and galloped towards the place where the fireworks were rising!

And Chen Fengpo and more than a dozen other local eagle soldiers were also driven away by Shi Chaozhi, desperately urging the horses to lead the way.

Xu Jialu was three or four miles ahead, and after letting go of the horse's speed, it was there in an instant.

In the place where the eye enters, Xujialu, which is squatting not far from the river bank, is now completely wrapped in fireworks, and the wall, houses, and corner towers are all on fire, and the black smoke is rolling and rolling into the sky. Not long after the autumn harvest ended, each family had enough sun-dried millet stalks, and once the fire was raised, the fire could not be cleaned up in a blink of an eye!

After more than ten years of self-made business here, the belongings that have been gathered with great effort have turned into ashes.

On the large open fields outside the village of Xujialu, there are hoof prints, ruts, and people's footprints everywhere. More than 100 people and dozens of livestock in the village have fled completely.

Shi Chaozhi's face was extremely ugly, and Wang Rengong treated them very favorably for the soldiers and soldiers who directly led the five battalions, and they were also indulgent in many places. But once the entrusted task is not completed, then the punishment is also extremely heavy! As a person from the royal family for generations, he understands it very well!

He waved his hand fiercely on the horse: "Check, where did they go!" ”

He has always been a few horsemen of the top soldiers in the battalion and went out to investigate the traces.

And Shi Chaozhi stared at Chen Fengpo fiercely, and laughed cruelly: "The more I ride, the more I come secretly, without stopping, and I go straight here." But the news leaked, tell me, whose fault is it? ”

Chen Fengpo and his party were coerced by the Yue Cavalry Camp to rush forward, their mounts were not as good as the Yue Riding Camp mounts, they were all ordinary horses, at this time they were so tired that they were sweating and foaming, once they stopped, they all got off the horse first to take care of the mounts.

People in the border land, every family has horses. In the sixth year of the Great Cause, the Son of Heaven led an army of 400,000 troops out of the two counties of Yanmen and Mayi to patrol the border, and tens of thousands of civilian horses, donkeys and other livestock were levied in the two counties. But these horses are also the most valuable property of each family, and they will feel distressed to the bone when they are tired.

While taking care of the horses, hearing Shi Chaozhi's question, Chen Fengpo, who got off the horse, raised his head, groaned, and bowed without being humble or arrogant.

"The humble post suddenly responded last night, and he has been accompanying the general. Today he was ordered to lead the way, and asked himself if there was no half-point difference. But along the way, the momentum is huge. Xu Jialu is too guarded, how can he run away without hearing the wind? If the general had ordered last night to let his subordinates come quietly and enter the village to kidnap the Xu family, at this time, he would have met the general to return to his life. ”

In the middle of a few words, Chen Fengpo put the responsibility on Shi Chaozhi's head. Who asked you to take more than 200 elite horsemen from the Yue Cavalry Battalion to Xujialu with great momentum.

You are allowed to make such a big move, and no one is allowed to run away?

These words immediately choked Shi Chaozhi, staring at Chen Fengpo, eager to swallow this guy with a mouthful of water. But this time he came on a temporary send-of-road, and Wang Rengong did not give him the authority to dispose of the local guards. Chen Fengpo, an old oilman who has been in Shenwu for many years, has a lot of implications if he moves, and he can't explain it to Wang Rengong.

In the midst of hatred, several Yue cavalry soldiers have already come to report back.

"The lord and the people of Lu fled in all directions, and most of them went north, crossed the Sanggan River, and fled to the mountains and forests to the north. There are also Lu people who fled in all directions, but the hoof prints are still fresh, and they are not far away! ”

Shi Chaozhi nodded, gritted his teeth and said: "Team Ding dispersed, search for those scattered Lu people, and the remaining three teams, follow me to the north and chase the brigade!" Too obedient to the order, take in his family, and leave no one! ”

Originally, Shi Chaozhi planned to capture the Xu family and wash the village. The people of the Xu family, if there are people who can escape, even if they have a big life, they are too lazy to care. But now, Xu Jialu actually dared to flee from the wind, and burned his belongings, if he didn't kill all the people in this Lu, it would be difficult to solve the hatred in his heart!

More than 200 soldiers of the Yue cavalry battalion were divided into four teams, and when they heard the order, a group of Yue cavalry eagles and soldiers suddenly roared and scattered.

With a wave of Shi Chaozhi's hand, a group of Yue Riding Eagles rushed up and forced Chen Fengpo and his party.

Chen Fengpo just smiled bitterly: "Won't I be able to lead the way?" This is north, this is north! ”

Chen Fengpo and the others turned over and got on their horses, and the three teams of Yue Cavalry Eagle Soldiers followed closely, roaring and rolling north.

Chen Fengpo looked north, and the hoof print car print went straight north to the Sanggan River. By the end of autumn, the river has narrowed and narrowed, and shallows are exposed everywhere, and you can wade through it everywhere.

To the north of the Sanggan River, there are rolling hills with trees and hazelnuts. After hundreds of years of war, the population of the north has been greatly reduced, and the ecology has been restored considerably, and there are dense forests everywhere.

The sun has set overhead, casting a long shadow on these scattered trees, which makes people feel chilled when they look at it.

Chen Fengpo just smiled bitterly in his heart. I just want to live in peace and stability in this troubled world, and I do things with my conscience. How did you suddenly fall into such a field?

Lelangjun, Lelangjun, no matter what you do, I'm miserable by you!
