More than 20 pack horses marched the winding mountain road.

Although the cold wind is strong, the sun is shining, and the eyes are looking around, but seeing the mountains are reckless, it makes people have a big heart.

Shenwu and Yunzhong, both in a basin surrounded by mountains, from Shenwu to Yunzhong, from the Han Dynasty to open up a gallop road, enough to pass through the carriage and horses. Then out of the mountains to the north through the clouds, there is a vast grassland.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he often gathered tens of thousands or even 100,000 troops in the land of clouds, attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and penetrated deep into the south of the desert. It is the road that can support the transfer of materials for the army.

But Xu Le and his party did not take the galloping road between the mountains. Instead, they went deep into the mountains and walked along the sheep intestine trail opened up by the caravan.

The reason is not complicated, now that the Son of Heaven is going south, the county guards in various places can be called divided. In Mayi County, there is also an open and secret battle between the county guard Wang Rengong and the eagle strike general Liu Wuzhou sitting in the clouds.

These roads are already full of tax cards, and they all want to suck a few mouthfuls of blood in the passing caravans. These assets have become a boost for the local guards to expand the strength of their subordinates.

Xu Le is such a small caravan, if he really crosses the clouds along the official road and enters the grassland, it is estimated that the goods of twenty packs will be taxed like this all the way, and even half of them may not be left when they reach the land.

One of the manifestations of the so-called troubled times is that the laws that originally maintained the operation of a great empire are gradually collapsing.

But walking through the mountain road, compared to walking on the official road, you don't know where the hard work is. Eating and sleeping in the open, there are no pavilions and castles on the road, storms, wind and frost swords, all have to be carried by themselves.

The beasts in the mountains must also be guarded against. And the world gradually collapsed, and bandits and horse thieves rose again. The Turkic rangers, from time to time, penetrated deep into the mountains to the left of the clouds. When you meet these guys, you have to fight hard!

At this time, the merchant is really struggling with his life. If you follow the still healthy old lady Xu all the way to the north, from Zhuang Ke to Xia Shao, I still have some confidence in my heart. But at this moment, he is following the fledgling Le Langjun, whether it is a young man or a villager in Luzhong, everyone is conscientious and worried.

Along the way, it has been more than ten days of hard work, and it has already gone deep into the mountains.

Everyone only felt that their energy and physical strength had been consumed rapidly in the past ten days, and everyone looked tired. Even the pack horses and horses seemed to feel the nervous atmosphere of the masters, and even the neighing became less in the mountain road.

Only Xu Le is still that radiant and romantic. The same pedestrian's dress with short clothes and narrow sleeves insisted on giving him the taste of a child of a family. It seems to be a Wuling boy who came out to go out, and this trip to the business road where everyone gambled on their lives was to have fun.

Amid the sound of horses' hooves, the procession went up to a high place on a hill, and by this time the red sun had already grazed the eaves of the western mountain, pulling the shadows of the men and horses of this small caravan on the hill.

Xu Le climbed to the top first, glanced around, drew a circle with his hand and said with a smile: "Let's rest here!" The place is dry and the sight is open. Nothing wrong with it except that the wind is a little stronger! ”

A group of Zhuang Kexia followed one after another, and heard Xu Le order to rest. When everyone was silent, they moved the goods off their packs, loosened the horse's belly belt for the mounts, and some went to chop wood to find water.

An old farmer in his early forties also climbed to a high place and took a look: "That's right, in two days, you will be able to bypass the clouds." After continuing to walk seven more miles in the mountains, we went out of the mountains and into the grassland. Le Langjun, it's the first time you go out, and it's really not easy to identify the direction so clearly! ”

Xu Le smiled and didn't care, and he couldn't tell Zhuang Ke that his grandfather had gathered rice for mountains since he was a child, stacked the terrain of the mountains and rivers where he had walked, taught himself how to distinguish the borrowed terrain, and taught himself how to remember the direction in the wild. Along the way, I verified my grandfather's teachings one by one in my heart, and found that I was quite talented in this area and learned well.

Grandpa taught this ability, how could it not be to let himself prepare for the rest of his life in Shenwu County, he was reluctant to tell his life experience, and he was afraid that he would take a step out of the scope of the brush on weekdays, this contradictory mind was really embarrassing grandpa.

Just as he was about to go to the camp to help prepare, Xu Le's ears suddenly moved.

Surrounded by mountains and forests, although the cold wind has been strong, but the branches and leaves have not yet withered away, still reckless hazelnuts, all the way, you can hear the sound of foxes and rabbits, but in this vast mountains and forests there is no trace.

At the top of the mountain, there is a flat land, although there is no shelter, the wind is pressing, and the cold air at night is estimated to soak into people's bones, but Xu Lexuan camped here in order to have a wide view and ensure safety.

This choice, the banker and the young man have no opinion. To walk outside is to endure this hardship.

Just now, Xu Le heard that not far from his feet, there seemed to be a faint sound of dead branches stepping on in the mountains and forests. And including Han Yue, none of the Zhuang Kexia teenagers felt any movement.

This is also the six senses that my grandfather taught since he was a child and cultivated with the means of never passing it on!

But all the generals, clad in stubbornness, rush into the enemy formation. At that time, there were swords and guns, relying on the sharpness of the six senses, dodging the most threatening damage, and finding the weak point to reap the enemy's life, all relying on subconscious reactions. Until he is the commander of the army, he breaks through the enemy formation for his lord, and finally reaps a victory!

This is not an ordinary folk chivalrous method, and Xu Le, who has experienced inhuman tempering, has long understood this. After growing up, I have been speculating about my life experience. For this reason, he did not hesitate to rebel, but his grandfather was even stronger than himself, and he refused to say anything about being killed. And the skills that have been honed by grandpa have also been warned not to show it, but until now, Xu Le, the name of Lelangjun, is still obtained by relying on his bold face and the reputation of the old man back then. It is not as good as Han Yueshi's real fight, and the reputation of Xiaomen God is in awe of everyone in Shenwu County.

With such a grandfather, Xu Le felt that most of his nineteen years of life he was helpless............

Xu Le stared at the place where the sound came from for a short time, and it became quiet again. Xu Le just smiled in the end, walked over to Han Yue, who was still busy, and whispered a few words.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The bonfire was lit, and the mountain wind pulled the bonfire flame into a long and short shape, reflecting the faces of the people sitting around the bonfire.

The lineup of the small caravan sitting around the bonfire at night is also distinct, with a group of young men and a group of villagers. This has been the case for more than ten days.

Several young men were wrapping their leather jackets tightly, watching their boss Song Bao being greeted by Han Yue, and said something in a low voice.

said that it was a young man, but these few people followed the wrong person, the boss Song Bao hated a brigade commander of the Yingyang Mansion in Mayi, and now when the Shenwu Shao was searched by the Yingyang Mansion, they were not allowed to enter. And Liu Wuzhou in the clouds is famous for only recognizing the old brothers who have returned from North Korea, with very few exceptions, and it is not easy for him to die there.

And Wang Rengong spared no effort to crack down on the Ma Yi light man who refused to be included in the Yingyang Mansion. These people have been following Song Bao for a while, and they feel cornered. Otherwise, Han Yue invited, how could Song Bao, who has always been famous for his bravery in Shenwu, go with a few villagers, a Le Langjun who was overprotected by Xu Taigong?

It is really all the money in the pocket, and he wants to avoid the tough Wang Taishou and want to desperately take a trade route, change some entanglement, and then go to Hedong to join the army. It is said that Tang Guogong is also recruiting troops.

After more than ten days, these young men have also made a lot of complaints. When it comes to killing, the chivalrous young people are naturally stronger than the villagers, and their ability to endure hardships and stand hard work is much worse. I just think this trip is really not worth it.

In the blink of an eye, Song Bao and Han Yue finished talking, and vaguely heard Song Bao snort coldly. When the young men looked up, they saw Song Bao coming back and sitting on the edge of the bonfire.

A young man asked, "Da Lang, what did Han Er say?" ”

Song Bao snorted coldly: "Speaking of our Le Langjun, it seems that he heard some movement around him, and he feels that tonight may not be peaceful." Let's be careful. ”

The man shrank his neck, looked around, and said suspiciously: "Quietly, who is lying in this barren mountains and mountains in this dead cold weather, waiting to deal with us?" ”

Song Bao also sneered: "It turns out that there are some horse thieves and bandits on this road, but what is the situation now?" Wang Taishou recruited troops in Shanyang Shenwu, and Liu Yingzheng was eager to collect the essence that could be used in the clouds! These horse thieves and bandits have all become soldiers of Heng'an Yingyang Mansion, who is still impatient to eat wind here! ”

He pointed to Xu Le, who was sitting by the campfire, whispering and laughing with the villagers.

“………… This Le Langjun is a lucky man, and he is cared for by the famous Xu Taigong. Xu Taigong fell, and his family came to walk this road without knowing the height of the sky, but he bumped into Wang Taishou and Liu Yingzheng to help him clean up the road! Seeing that we are too idle all the way, all the work is done by his bankers, and now I want to find something for our brothers. ”

Several heroes looked at it together, and the bonfire reflected Xu Leying's face with a more distinct outline, even though he was in the wilderness, this Le Langjun still looked romantic, just like a Wuling boy who came out for a spring outing. made several young men who had a rather bleak life these days couldn't help but feel that the corners of their eyes jumped.

A young man said indignantly: "What does the big brother say? ”

Song Bao snorted coldly: "It's time to go to bed and sleep, who is impatient to take care of him!" Han Yue is a small door god, and I am also a Shenwu Tie Feiyan! After this trip, when the time comes, I will be settling the account, thirty percent is the reward, and there must be a thank you gift! ”

Another young man made a joke: "I see that Le Langjun's horse is good, the eldest brother has it, and he will join the army in Hedong on another day." Tang Guogong knows the hero, maybe he has to leave a place for the eldest brother in the Yue Cavalry Camp of Yingyang Mansion in Hedong! ”

In the Yingyang Mansion, the Yue Cavalry Battalion is undoubtedly the highest, and Wang Rengong's Ma Yi Yingyang Mansion Yue Cavalry Battalion Knights, people can get two times a month to open the emperor's foot, and they are superior wherever they go.

Warmed by the brothers' words, Song Bao glanced at the red horse that was grazing on the side, and beckoned everyone: "That's in the future, go to sleep now!" ”
