I waited for a long time, but I didn't see Yuan Liu appear. Li Anmin and the four looked at each other, their faces full of anxiety.

"Big brother, it's all my fault, I just took care of making a raft, but I ignored Yuan Liu's traces, so I went to the forest to find him back." Chen Fanfan's face was full of shame, he lowered his head deeply like a child who had made a mistake, and said loudly.

"I'll go with you." Jiang Tong and Yuan Liu mingled all day long, and the brotherhood in their hearts was a little stronger than that of others. Seeing that Yuan Liu disappeared inexplicably, Jiang Tong was anxious, took Chen Fanfan's words and said to Li Anmin: "Deputy commander, I am also responsible for this matter, I am responsible for guarding, but I didn't notice that Yuan Liu was actually missing, so I went to the forest with Brother Fanfan to find him back." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Li Anmin to speak, Jiang Tong pulled Chen Fanfan towards the forest.

"Whatever is in a hurry, give me back."

Li Anmin looked at the two people who were about to sneak into the forest again with an ugly face, and shouted loudly.

Chen Fanfan was stunned when he heard this, stopped his steps, and walked back with his head down.

Jiang Tong was puzzled, and after hearing Li Anmin's words, although he also stopped, he did not turn back immediately. Jiang Tong turned his head to look at Li Anmin, and said eagerly: "But..."

"Come back!"

Li Anmin's eyes widened and he shouted at Jiang Tong.

Jiang Tong let out a sigh helplessly, and then walked back with a look of disgrief.

"First of all, I gave you all arrows earlier, and if Yuan stays in the forest and gets lost or has an accident, he will definitely send a signal. Since no one heard the sound of his arrows, it means that he did not get lost or have an accident. ”

Li Anmin took a deep breath, lowered his head, closed his eyes slightly, and analyzed word by word.

"But what if you encounter a thief and you don't have time to fire the arrow?" Jiang Tong had doubts, raised his head and asked Li Anmin.

Hearing Jiang Tong's words, Chen Fanfan and Hongying both nodded solemnly.

"Although Yuan Liu's behavior is exaggerated, and he is usually not leaky, his strength must not be bad, otherwise he would not have been selected by Xuanque Tang and entered the candidate list." Li Anmin raised his head and stared at Jiang Tong, and continued: "If there is a battle, Fan Fan is in the forest, and you are also on guard at a high place, have you ever heard the sound of a fight or found traces of a fight?" ”

Li Anmin said as he looked at Jiang Tong and Chen Fanfan.

"I've been in the woods and I haven't heard any fighting."

"When I was on guard, I didn't notice anything unusual."

Jiang Tong and Chen Fanfan shook their heads and replied.

Li Anmin turned around, his eyes fell on the forest in front of him, and continued: "Unless it is an attack that has no time to resist. But if you really encounter such a powerful enemy, I'm afraid that even if the four of us work together, we won't be able to resist for a moment, so what's the point of you going in now? And if such an enemy really appears, the Liao Division, who is in charge of our security, will definitely not sit idly by. ”

Li Anmin breathed a long sigh of relief, and before he could finish what he was thinking, he stopped.

Jiang Tongyuan has not revealed his true cultivation so far, but their names can be written into the list of candidates for the Xuanque Hall recruit election, which means that they must have something to rely on. Li Anmin has never asked about the details of the two of them, because there is a place in everyone's heart that they are unwilling to uncover and reveal to others. As long as Li Anmin is a brother, he doesn't want to ask anything else.

Now Yuan Liu is missing, but they have not received the summons of the arrow, the second has not heard any fighting, and the third has not seen Liao Shi make a move. All this shows a problem, Yuan Liu is not missing, but he deliberately avoided a few people.

The reason why they were unwilling to let Jiang Tong and Chen Fanfan return to the forest to search was also very simple. Although Yuan Liu left by himself, it doesn't mean that there is no danger in the forest, after all, there is no explanation for the carrion corpses on the riverside.

Li Anmin recalled Yuan Liu's behavior on weekdays, looked at Chen Fanfan and Jiang Tong again, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he secretly said in his heart: It seems that behind our team, there are a lot of stories hidden.

"We'll wait here for half an hour. If he is willing to return, he will come back in half an hour. If he hadn't appeared after half an hour, he wouldn't have reappeared again. Li Anmin made up his mind and said to Jiang Tong and Chen Fanfan.

Although the three of them were stunned in their hearts, Li Anmin had a calm personality and was calm in the face of things, and he was usually able to make the most accurate judgment, and at this moment they still chose to believe in the judgment of the young man.

The four of them set up the raft and sat down by the tree, closed their eyes and waited quietly.

After about half a moment, they heard a rush of footsteps, and the four of them immediately opened their eyes.

Sure enough, it was Yuan Liu!

I saw that Yuan Liu's head was covered with sweat, and his gorgeous clothes were stained with a little weeds, and even the pair of white boots that he cherished most on weekdays were also stained with mud.

Seeing the four of them sitting under the tree, although their faces were a little anxious, they did not have a trace of surprise and excitement when they appeared, but looked at Li Anmin with reverence, and everyone's performance was beyond his expectations, causing Yuan Liu's originally prepared words to suddenly be unable to speak. Yuan Liu opened his mouth several times, his lips trembled slightly, but he didn't make a sound.

Li Anmin stood up, walked to Yuan Liu's side, and said softly: "I'm back, then let's prepare to cross the river!" ”

"Yes, people have three urgencies, and I have a bad stomach." Yuan Liu looked at Li Anmin's eyes, only to see that there was a hint of discerning wisdom and the majesty of controlling everything. Yuan Liu only felt that this look was a little familiar, and returned to the Tao in a panic.

Hearing Yuan Liu's donkey's answer to the horse's mouth, the three of them were all surprised, with a somewhat incredible expression. They were all curious about why Yuan Liu didn't show up for a long time, but it can be seen that Li Anmin didn't ask, so they also buried their doubts in their hearts.

Finding that the three of them looked at him a little strangely, Yuan Liu realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said, "Okay, let's go." ”

So a group of five people hurriedly got on the raft, and Chen Fanfan, who was born with divine power, picked up the long wood prepared earlier as an oar, and took on the role of a boatman.

The raft carried five people and staggered towards the north bank of the river.

Li Anmin stood at the bow of the raft, looking at the north shore with deep eyes, and his figure was a little taller in the moonlight.

Hongying and Jiang Tong sat behind Li Anmin, not knowing what they were thinking, just quietly looking at the young man in front of them.

Yuan Liu sat at the end of the raft and noticed this picture with a lot of emotion in his heart.

In the past, everyone also obeyed Li Anmin's arrangement, because Li Anmin was the deputy commander, but Hongying, who was the commander, admired him, so Li Anmin was the head of the five. But now it is different, Yuan Liu knows that in the short time he left, something must have happened that caused Li Anmin to truly become the head of the five.

Yuan Liu thought for a long time, and faintly had an answer in his heart: I am afraid that it is the amazing mind of a young man.

On the south bank of the river, Liao Xiancai hid in the forest, looked at the rickety raft in the middle of the river, and even looked at Li Anmin who was standing at the head of the raft, shook his head but was silent. After a while, he suddenly shouted "Rise" with a soft shout, and then his body jumped high, drew an arc in the night sky, and landed on the north bank of the Trouble River.

The old angler on the ferry, I don't know when he appeared where Liao Xiancai was standing, he was carrying a pot of old wine in his hand, and took a sip gently. I saw that the old man's hands were covered with calluses, and his originally cloudy eyes became clear in an instant, and the flowing light seemed to be the "hope" that people often said.

He arched his hand lightly to Li Anmin, who was at the head of the raft, and whispered in his mouth: "The three bitter fronts of the hive, the boatman, have seen the young master." ”

As soon as the words fell, he raised the flask to take a sip, but found that the flask was empty. The old boatman smiled lightly, threw the flask aside, and disappeared into the night.

It's just that the old boatman didn't know that at this moment, on the south bank of the river, there was still a pair of eyes that had insight into everything, and it was a dog, a dog named Da Hei, a big black dog.

The river of tribulation flowed endlessly, and the five people on the raft had different thoughts.

After nearly an hour of turbulence, a group of five people finally arrived at the north bank of the Trouble River. At this moment, the sky was already dark, and after tossing and turning in the middle of the night, the five members of the team were already exhausted.

On the south bank of the river, there are still patches of verdant mountains and forests, and on the north bank, there are endless green and yellow grasslands.

The military camp of the Beidi White Wolf Army naturally would not be built on the Trouble River, Li Anmin took the four of them to find a high slope, and they leaned down to look at the scene in front of them. When you climb the height, you can see that about three or five miles away, there are hundreds of tents densely tied. Outside the tent, there were herds of cattle and sheep, swaying between the heavens and the earth, leisurely eating the grass roots on the ground.

Li Anmin pulled up a weed on the ground, only to see that the blades of grass had been gnawed bare, and even the grass roots were faintly yellow.

Seeing Li Anmin observing the weeds in his hands, Chen Fanfan was puzzled, patted his brother, and asked quietly: "Brother, what's wrong, why are you staring at the weeds all the time?" ”

Li Anmin wailed in his heart, and said with a heavy face: "Alas, because through this weed, you can judge that the war between Handi is not far away. ”

"Why?" Chen Fanfan's brows tightened when he heard this, he was puzzled, and continued to win a streak and asked.

"When I was a child, my dad made you read all the books in vain." Li Anmin glanced at Chen Fanfan and continued:

"The northern Di people are mostly nomadic, and their land is not suitable for farming, so the Beidi people feed on cattle and mutton, and cattle and sheep feed on plants and trees. But if you look at the grass under our feet and the grassland in front of us, the weeds have turned yellow, and I am afraid that it will not be long before even the grass roots are eaten clean by cattle and sheep. ”

Li Anmin let out a long sigh and said, "If the herbs are eaten clean, then the grassland will become a desert, and the cattle and sheep will have no food in the future." If cattle and sheep have no grass to eat, then there are no cattle and sheep. If there is no beef and mutton, the Di people will have no food. Once they lack the foundation for survival and have nothing to eat, they will naturally find a way to solve it. People in desperate situations are often overwhelmed and even mad. The easiest and most effective way to solve the food problem is to snatch, that is, from our Han Dynasty! ”

Li Anmin's tone was flat, but every word poked into the hearts of the five people. Just as the five of them were silent when they heard this, they suddenly heard the shouts of the Di barbarians. Li Anmin followed the prestige and saw about 100 Di cavalry, they were carrying a red flag, and a white wolf was painted on the banner, which was the white wolf light horse.

The white wolf rode lightly and galloped, screaming wildly and chasing the five people.

Seeing the five people who were chased, Li Anmin's face changed instantly, because he knew these five people, and the first two were a pair of women in white dresses who looked the same.
