The dense forest sea has been spreading towards the mountains beyond, and in this vast forest sea, several figures are struggling to move forward along the rugged mountain road.

Zheng Qing stretched out his hand to support Old Man Song, and looked back nervously, while Li Cheng, who was walking in front, stretched out his hand to hold the trunk of the tree and gasped and said, "Is anyone catching up behind?" ”

"Not yet." Zheng Qing hurriedly replied, "But those bandits will definitely not give up when they see an empty village." ”

"It's nothing if it's just those bandits who refuse to give up," Li Cheng couldn't help laughing, but there was a bitterness in this laugh that was difficult to hide, "It's a pity that those barbarians also know and won't let us go." ”

Zheng Qing was stunned for a moment: "Why is Uncle so sure?" ”

Li Cheng chuckled: "If the army sneaks up on this kind of thing, those who hear the news will die, and the scouts are responsible for sweeping away these ······ of those who get in the way."

Stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, and then at Old Man Song, Li Cheng smiled and said, "How can we not know what the two old men did fifty years ago." ”

Zheng Qing took a breath of cool air, obviously the current situation has exceeded his expectations, in the final analysis, he is still just a young man under twenty, although he followed Li Xinchen to kill last night, but whether it is psychological endurance or understanding of the enemy, there is no way to compare with Li Cheng and them.

"What, scared?" Li Cheng turned his head to look at Zheng Qing.

Zheng Qing immediately puffed up his chest: "How can you be afraid, whether it is the northern barbarians or those damn bandits, as long as they want to harm us, we will kill us back, and we will definitely not be afraid!" ”

Li Cheng chuckled, and Old Man Song also patted Zheng Qing's shoulder, and took the lead in continuing forward on crutches. And Li Cheng glanced at Zheng Qing, although Zheng Qing was honest and honest, he still understood the meaning, and just took a few young people to follow from a distance.

Speeding up two steps to Li Cheng's side, Old Man Song lowered his voice and said, "Why are you lying to them, the situation is ······ now?"

"We're all going to die here now, aren't we?" The smile on Li Cheng's face had already retracted, "XX didn't lie to them, I asked Ah Qing to find someone to send a message to Xun Chen in the village, and at that time, XX had actually told them what was going to happen." ”

Old Man Song was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "You and I have lived for a lifetime, and we have died early and have survived early, but this is ······ for Ah Qing and Ah Fei In fact, as early as last night, you have already figured out that there may be unexpected dangers today, you don't have to deny this, after so many battlefields, this feeling is still there, even after fifty years, you can still feel the danger, but you still let Xun Chen go down the mountain. ”

"It's not fair, is it?" Li Cheng looked sideways at Old Man Song and sighed softly, "There may be only those two children alive in the entire village." ”

"No, Xun Chen and Li Qiu are indeed the best choice, one is brave and strategic, the other is clever, let the two of them go to find reinforcements, even if it is looking for a needle in a haystack, it is more likely than letting the rest of them succeed." Old Man Song said lightly while walking up slowly, "What's more, how can we talk about fairness in this troubled world, fifty years ago, there was a flash flood, and only the three of us survived the seven thousand brothers, how can this be fair?" ”

Li Cheng laughed and said, "Then isn't this enough!" ”

"Even if I know that I can only do this, I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, and I don't vomit and feel unhappy." Old Man Song smiled to himself, "Let's go, it's almost there." ”

And the footsteps behind him suddenly sounded, Li Cheng and Old Man Song subconsciously looked back, Zheng Qing caught up with the two of them with his hands and feet: "Come up······ The bandits are coming! ”

Li Cheng frowned, nodded at Old Man Song, and the pace of the two of them did not speed up. Zheng Qing led a few young people to cut down the trees on the road and lay across the road, which could be blocked for a while.

————————————--

"Quick, keep up!" Xiao Shilian roared in a low voice, and a famous soldier on the mountain road rushed forward.

The rugged mountain road retreated quickly under their feet, and the old soldiers who followed Xiao Shilian were experienced in a hundred battles, although it was the first time to walk in this kind of deep mountains and old forests, but their steps were not slower than Li Xinchen who opened the road in front of them.

Just now, the bones of those Northern Zhou sentinels were very hard, and when they found that they had fallen into the hands of the Southern Chen army, they did not hesitate to bite their tongues and commit suicide, even the old soldiers who were guarding Xiao Shilian were taken aback, knowing that the rags prepared in their hands had not yet been stuffed in.

The resoluteness of these sentinels made everyone, including Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian, shudder, tremble in their hearts, what kind of secret is it worth guarding with their lives?

Now that the sentinels are dead, only a few hapless bandits remain. Unfortunately, these bandits, who were about to pee their pants, obviously didn't know anything, but they still learned from them that the bandits were searching the road to the back mountain from the village.

At that time, Li Xinchen secretly screamed that it was not good, and Xiao Shilian also knew that without further ado, whether it was to figure out what the purpose of this Northern Zhou army was, or to defeat this group of bandits to complete the task assigned by Xiao Maha, the key was to find the location of the villagers in the village as soon as possible, as long as they could occupy the dangerous places in the back mountains first, then they would be able to grasp the initiative of the entire battlefield.

Of course, Xiao Shilian had already made preparations, and sent more than ten people to escort those thieves back, maybe something could be interrogated when they arrived in the army, and their existence at least proved that Xiao Shilian's previous speculation was somewhat reasonable.

"How much longer?" Xiao Shilian panted while struggling to catch up with Li Xinchen's footsteps, it was the first time he had walked such a long mountain road.

"It's coming." Li Xinchen replied in a low voice, raised his head and pointed, "Look, it's ······"

Li Xinchen's voice stopped abruptly.

And Xiao Shilian looked in the direction of his finger, and his face changed greatly.

On the shady side of the hillside not far away, there are a few houses that are difficult to detect, if it weren't for Li Xinchen's fingers, I'm afraid no one would have found that there were hidden mysteries in the lushness. But what shocked Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian was not the house that could still be found after careful search, but the wave of black pressure pressing forward in the distance.

Although the flag died down, the huge, suffocating team could still be clearly seen.

"General!" Several old soldiers said with trembling voices, "It's a barbarian! ”

Xiao Shilian took a breath of cool air lightly: "······ Somebody knows. ”

I don't know if my voice has even changed tone.

And Li Xinchen didn't care about so much, so he grabbed Li Qiu and rushed towards the village quickly.

"Major General, my subordinates escort the Major General to leave quickly!" An old soldier hurriedly said.

The rest of the old soldiers also stood up one after another, and were about to speak, but they saw Xiao Shilian raise his hand to stop them.
