Chapter 172: Chasing the North (21)
In the midst of the wind and snow, a large group of people and horses traveled southward.
This group numbered about five or six hundred. There are young and strong, as well as old and young. All dressed in leather robes and blindfolds made of ponytails, the horses were surprisingly heavy, pulling out a long line in the snowy valley.
This team did not raise the banner, the young man was on guard at the outpost with a bow and knife, and there were also broken men at the end of the team. Guarding the old and young and the baggage in the middle.
The men and horses guarding the front sentry were rushing into the wind and snow, and they were all tired when they walked a mile or two in front of the brigade. Some people subconsciously stopped, looking for a shelter from the wind, and waited for the team behind to follow.
One of the people in the team pushed down the hood, his white beard fluttering, and ordered loudly: "Don't stop!" Be sure to rush to Wild Wolf Gorge today! A day of delay on the road increases the risk! ”
This old man with a fluttering white beard is none other than Luo Dun. In the past, the old patriarch of the Lianghai tribe was slightly blessed, looking rich and honorable. Now he has lost weight, the furrows on his face are deeper, his eyes have returned to their sharpness, and he sits on a horse in the wind and snow and controls it freely, looking like he is not inferior to a teenager.
Closely following Luo Dun, that is, Bu Li, the little girl was still quiet and silent in front of people, almost autistic, wrapped in a leather jacket and hood, and looked very weak. But after seeing the scene of arson and murder in the camp of Qianyue at night, no one will look down on this little tail by Luo Dun's side.
This team is the Lianghai Special Department.
After Luo Dun returned to the Lianghai Special Division, he immediately presided over the southward migration of the Lianghai Special Division. Even with the prestige of Rodon, it was still delayed for a lot of time.
The Lianghai special department is in the mountains, and the life is quite stable and wealthy, where is it willing to leave the homeland?
But the grassland has been turbulent, and more than 1,000 Wutou Heiguo father and son of the Yue tribe have fallen into the hands of Liu Wuzhou, and the Zhibi Department has also lost their Axian Zhibi.
Nine surnamed Tatars, the dragons had no leader, and even began to attack each other. And it is rumored that the Deacon Department will also do its best, and if it goes south to recapture the Reich, it will fall and slaughter the City in the Clouds.
The news of Luo Dun's surrender to the Han people also came out, and some tribes who wanted to show favor in front of the Turks were already preparing to attack the Lianghai tribe, but they were worried that winter was approaching and the mountain roads were difficult to walk.
Under such a threat, Luo Duncai said that the people of the tribe migrated south to avoid the current chaos in the grassland. Rao is like this, and the Lianghai Special Department, which has a total size of more than 1,000 people, only half of them followed Luo Dun to the south.
Some people prefer to stay in their homeland and wait for an unknowable fate rather than venture south. Some simply disappeared and moved their families to other tribes.
For the clansmen's choice, Luo Dun can only accept it.
In the wind and snow, Liang Haite helped the old and the young to walk. Rodun resolutely refused to wait for the winter to pass and the road was convenient to start again.
When the road is easy, the wolves will gather, the chaotic nine Tatar tribes, the Turkic Zhibi tribe, or even Liu Wuzhou in the clouds, God knows if they will all want to devour the Lianghai Special Department, the Lianghai Special Department has accumulated for decades, but it is a famous fat sheep!
So on this winter day, when the families were closed for the winter, the Lianghai Special Department went on the road with difficulty and headed south, and no one knew what kind of fate Luo Dun would bring them to. But these people who moved south chose to believe in Rodon.
And Luo Dun was also on the way, and suddenly burst out with great energy, eating less and sleeping less, trying his best to take care of his people, as if he had returned to his youth at once.
Driven by Rodon's roar, several knights who had gone to find shelter from the wind turned around in a daze.
The person who took the lead was Song Bao. This scarred man also looked weathered and tired. The faces of several henchmen around him were not good-looking.
Song Bao was ordered to accompany Luo Dun back to preside over the migration of the Lianghai Special Department, and originally thought it was a beautiful errand. Lianghai is rich and famous, presumably this trip is not risky, but also delicious, good to live and enjoy, maybe there will be a few grassland girls to sleep.
Who knows, but in the wind and snow, guarding such a large team, in the season when the wolves don't come out, desperately hurrying!
Song Bao smiled reluctantly at Luo Dun: "There are at least thirty miles to go in the Wild Wolf Gorge, this wind is too hard, everyone is very tired, or we will camp here today, and tomorrow we will recover our energy, and everyone will go on the road again." It's almost here, why not spend a day or two? ”
Luo Dun snorted: "This is the meeting place that I have made an appointment with your family Le Langjun!" The sooner everyone gathers together, the more strength and safety we have! One more day of delay on the road is one more risk, and who knows what will happen! ”
Song Bao wanted to say something, but was pointed at by Luo Dun: "Your family is ordered by Langjun, you have to listen to the old man's orders!" ”
Several heroes behind Song Bao changed color, Song Bao took a deep breath, and said with a reluctant smile: "Then listen to the old patriarch's orders, let's continue to move forward!" ”
Luo Dun nodded and said to Song Bao: "I know that you have worked hard, and when you get to the ground, everything is settled, and the old man will naturally have something to repay." ”
Song Bao smiled and arched his hand: "Where do you dare to do it." ”
Luo Dun didn't say anything more, took the knights of the Lianghai Special Division, and continued to move forward.
The faces of several henchmen were extremely pale, and someone said to Song Bao: "Da Lang, why do we suffer from this old man's anger!" Along the way, I was called like a cow and a horse, we are Ma Yi men, how can we have suffered such anger! Walking on the grassland in the past, such an eyeless tartar, which trip does not kill three or two? ”
Song Bao groaned: "This is what Le Langjun ordered............"
The most ferocious henchman under him snorted disdainfully: "Le Langjun captured the general Wang Taishou, and he has to go back to pick up the old lady." When the news spread, Wang Taishou learned that Le Langjun was not killing himself? Dalang, let's be prepared first! ”
He lowered his voice a little: "...... Let's go to serve Liu Wuzhou, and the meeting gift is the wealth of Liang Hai's special department! Liu Wuzhou is also poor now, unaware, and does not hurt his reputation, are you afraid that he will not do this vote? With this meeting gift, are you afraid that we will not be able to reuse it under Liu Wuzhou? It's better than following Nale Langjun everywhere! ”
Song Bao's expression changed.
In Cloudsdale, he did strengthen his belief in serving Xu Le. But with such a distance, no news, and Xu Le went deep into the dangerous place, life and death were uncertain, and this belief naturally wavered.
He groaned for a while, and finally shook his head: "What you said, I wrote it down, and now I still go to Wild Wolf Gorge!" Take one step at a time along the way, anyway, I won't give in to you brothers! ”
After saying this, Song Bao rode forward and followed Luo Dun and the others. Several of his men glanced at each other, and they all rode up and followed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wild Wolf Gorge.
It's a deserted canyon, far from the caravan paths, not to mention the official roads.
The canyon twists and turns, and the inside is suddenly open, both to block the wind and to accommodate a considerable number of people.
At this moment, there are already dozens of camp tents in the camp, and the camp tents are tightly closed in such a wind and snow, and no one comes out to move.
A thin figure, standing on top of a hill beside the valley, had almost turned into a snowman.
This thin figure is none other than Han Xiaoliu. He preceded Xu Le, escorted his family and his family, and came to the place where he agreed to meet Luo Dun.
In the wind and snow, Han Xiaoliu looked south with difficulty, expecting to see Xu Le and his party, but they failed again and again.
The body was so cold that he couldn't stand it, Han Xiaoliu moved a few times, and subconsciously glanced north again.
In the heavy snowstorm, several figures faintly appeared. Han Xiaoliu's color changed suddenly, and he jumped off the rocks as if he was flying, and went straight to the bottom of the valley.
Coming from the north, it may be Rodon and his party who he doesn't know, or it may be an enemy!
Le Langjun handed over these people to his own protection, then he would have to fight for his life and fulfill his responsibility!
