The blizzard came more violently than expected, and the sound of the wind blowing seemed to be that all the unjust souls who had died in the ice field on this side rushed out and shouted frantically, and the wind and snow covered the sky and the sun, as if they could really see one by one incomplete ghosts floating in the wind and snow, they were wearing rusty iron armor, their eyes were empty and blank, and they were still holding broken weapons in their hands, slashing in the direction they couldn't understand, and the wind was like knives breaking through the air, perhaps because of them.

Yang Shide and they dug seven or eight large snow pits, piled up snow walls to block the wind and snow, and the war horses were uneasy because of fear and wanted to rush out to hide, but in this kind of weather, the war horses would soon freeze to death.

The knights pressed their horses to prevent them from struggling, and the men and horses hugged each other to the death, relying on each other's body temperature to survive.

I didn't guess how long the snow would last, but I just hoped that I could get through it.

The snow pit was gradually closed and turned into a snow cave, and the sky became darker.

There was a soft snap, and a light appeared in the snow cave.

Yang Shide lit the cigarette with a fire fold, and the hand holding the pipe trembled disobediently, in fact, in order to light the pipe, he aimed it several times but failed to light it, and his hand trembled so badly that he couldn't match the fire at all.

The smoke in the snow cave seemed to bring a little warmth.

"Adult ......"

The subordinates looked at Yang Shide and found that the adult's face was already bloodless.

Some of the remaining wine was distributed to his subordinates, and he always said that he had prepared a pot, and it was only then that his subordinates understood where the adults still had any wine.

No one knows if the sip of wine that everyone gets will keep out the cold, but it's hope.

"If we can't go back."

Yang Shide's voice was a little strange, it was because he couldn't stand the cold, and he seemed to be even freezing his throat.

"Do you have any regrets?"

He asked.

The youngest subordinate is called Zhang Wei, a very ordinary name, and a very ordinary person, but since he followed Yang Shide to the land of the Black Warriors, he is destined to be no longer ordinary.

"I want to go back and see my parents."

Zhang Wei lowered his head, and the thick scarf was covered with ice, so that the sound coming from under the scarf seemed so faint.

"When I was leaving, my father asked me what I was going to do, and I said to do business, and my father beat me up...... My family is a military household, and my father is a military captain, and then I went home without a leg, and he let me inherit his black line knife, and let me take the knife and continue to fight with the black warriors, but when the adults found me, they told me not to say anything to anyone, so I returned the black line knife to my father. ”

He let out a long sigh, and a white breath came from under his scarf.

"Dad beat me and broke his crutches."

Zhang Wei raised his head and looked at Yang Shide: "My lord, if I go back, my father asks, we haven't done anything...... Will I still be beaten? ”

"How so."

Yang Shide raised his hand with difficulty and patted Zhang Wei's shoulder: "Although we have not completed His Majesty's explanation, we are still heroes, this is what I said, you, me, everyone is a hero, what we have done in the past six or seven years is more dangerous than doing real swords and guns on the battlefield with black warriors, no one in Daning knows about our existence, if there is no accident, even the enemy does not know about our existence, we are already very remarkable." ”

Zhang Wei lowered his head again: "But my father still wants me to return to the frontier with the black line knife." ”

"Will go back."

Yang Shide let out a breath: "I said it." ”

The sound of the wind and snow outside seemed to be quieter, Yang Shide arched forward, and pushed it on the snowdrift blocked outside the snow cave, the snowdrift collapsed, and the sunlight outside suddenly penetrated in, stinging everyone's eyes.

There were still scattered snowflakes falling, but the sun was shining again on the sky.

Yang Shide did not drill out directly, but lay on the ground like a toad and kept moving, it probably lasted for nearly half a column of incense before climbing out of the outside of the snow cave, and listened attentively, the sound of the wind was still like a knife, and there was only this wind.

Yang Shide let out a long sigh of relief, such a big wind and snow, the black cavalry chasing them had to stop and dodge, and after the wind and snow covered up the traces they left before, this was the best situation for them at the moment.

People came out of the snow cave one after another, but when everyone got together, they found that there were six or seven fewer people, and four or five war horses froze to death.

"Bury it."

Yang Shide sighed, thinking in his heart, if the lion of his day Daning breaks through the black martial arts, he will take you home.

Tearing down the snow wall and sealing the corpses in the snow cave, their faces may still be vivid many years later.

Those who are still alive must be vigorous, and there is still a long, long way to go before they are safe.

"Born to the South."

Yang Shide stepped on the war horse and pointed to the guide: "Our home." ”

The team regrouped and set off, leaving the birch forest and returning to the ice field again, the horses neighing, as if to vent their fears.

Dozens of miles away from them, on the other side of the birch forest, hundreds of black cavalry came out of the snow shell, and the black general led by them shook his neck: "Yang Shide's people will definitely take shelter from the wind and snow in this birch forest, give an order, the team will disperse all the way to the southeast, pass through the birch forest, and whoever finds the footprints will blow the horn." ”

He gave an order and then got on his horse: "Each of them has one horse, and we have three horses each, so we don't believe that we can't catch up." ”

"General Jebel."

Someone was puzzled and asked: "Why did these South Vietnamese people run to the southeast in one go?" It's the territory of the Bohai people over there, and according to the temperament of the Bohai people, seeing that they are outsiders, they can't be eaten alive. ”

"They have nowhere to go."

General Heiwu named Zhebei is a young man in his twenties, and he is the younger brother of Liao Kill Wolf, the general of the Southern Frontier Army of Heiwu Country.

"I don't dare to go to our border pass, I can only go to the Bohai people to try my luck, Your Majesty said that they are not Nanyue, now it seems that it is really possible that they are the spies of the Ning people."

"Could it really be Ningren?"

The soldiers felt incredible: "Yang Shide is in Your Majesty...... When he was by the side of the former emperor, he was so favored, because of him, the former emperor didn't kill a lot of people, couldn't the first emperor see that he was a fake South Vietnamese? ”

"Who sees that?"

Jebe urged forward: "It doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that if I put them back, Your Majesty will not listen to me explain how cunning those people are, only that I am incompetent." ”

"Drive!"

With a loud shout, the cavalry team roared forward, rushed out for a while, and the team spread out flat, hundreds of people pulled into a horizontal line and panned forward, the birch forest was only so wide, hundreds of people kept a distance between each other to see each other, and no trace in the birch forest would be spared.

Finally, in the southernmost part of the birch forest, I saw the traces left by Yang Shide and others, and after leaving the birch forest, I saw the horseshoe prints on the snowfield, if I didn't walk in the birch forest, I just went directly out of the birch forest to chase after the vast snowfield, and I could only chase people away, not to mention too far, the sun shone on the snow field 100 meters away, and I couldn't see the residual horseshoe prints.

If you miss it, you don't know how far you will deviate.

The cavalry of the Black Warriors accelerated to catch up, like a black cloud sweeping the ground.

Daning East Xinjiang.

Han Zhaozhi hurriedly got into the carriage and pulled Meng Changan up: "Your carriage is too slow, get in my car and go to Baishan Pass with me." ”

There are about more than two hundred black horsemen, Geng Shan and Fang Baijing, Meng Changan's six spears plus one hundred and twenty Tieliuli personal soldiers, plus hundreds of sailor soldiers selected by Shen Leng, and Yang Qibao, a 10,000-strong enemy.

The configuration of this team was already very high, and the team of nearly a thousand people left Chaoyang City at the fastest speed and headed towards the northwest.

This time in Chaoyang City, Shen Leng and Meng Changan didn't say a few words in total.

Before getting into the car, Shen Leng looked at Meng Changan's injured leg and pouted: "The gentlemen of the academy failed to break your leg back then, but you let the black warrior break your leg, shame on you?" ”

Meng Changan also pouted: "Didn't you let Qiu Liren beat him all over his body?" Speaking of which, Qiu Liren is not as good as a black warrior. ”

Shen Leng: "My legs are not lame, and my three legs are not lame." ”

Meng Changan: "Three legs? ”

It took a while for this usually cold and indifferent guy to react and snort: "It's angry." ”

Shen Leng carried a package and threw it to Meng Changan: "I rented it to you, one hundred taels of silver a day." ”

Meng Changan catched: "What is it?" ”

"I'll give you a red belly pocket, which can be worn close to the body and can massage the chest muscles."

Shen Leng laughed, and then waved his hand: "Hurry up, don't delay, after I gain a firm foothold in Baishan Pass, I will go to you for a drink, I will not go if I don't stand firm, I am afraid that I will be affected by you, and when the time comes, as soon as I enter the city gate and mention your name, I will be hacked to death by someone with a knife." ”

Meng Changan waved his hand: "Get out." ”

Shen Leng: "Get out." ”

In the carriage, Meng Changan opened the package that Shen Leng gave him and looked at it, and inside was a chain armor that looked extremely delicate and tough.

Han Zhaozhi squinted his eyes and looked at it, and couldn't help but be a little envious: "He handed over a big black horse from the Prince of Tubo in Western Xinjiang and gave it to you...... This chain armor was taken from Prince Qiuli's body and given to you again. ”

Meng Changan: "He grew up eating my noodles." ”

Lowered his head and looked at the chain armor: "Although I didn't eat a few bites." ”

Han Zhaozhi shook his head with a smile, the relationship between these two little guys is indestructible.

Meng Changan took off the outer robe, put the chain armor on his body, and patted it: "It fits." ”

Han Zhaozhi: "Is it still with a cold body temperature?" ”

Meng Changan glanced at Han Zhaozhi incredulously: "The ...... who is flowing in the air"

Han Zhaozhi laughed, hiding the worry in his eyes, no one was more worried than him except His Majesty, but he couldn't show anything before he picked someone up, and he couldn't reveal the identity of that person, when that person left Daning and went to Heiwu, only His Majesty and Han Zhaozhi, who went out of the palace, sent it to the gate of Chang'an City, he said take care, His Majesty said be careful, that person smiled and said Wait for the day I come back, prepare things, I should really want to eat a hot pot, and there will be dumplings.

Meng Changan is Shen Leng's brother, and that person is his brother.

That person is not called Ruan Chenglin, nor is he called Yang Shide, his name is Ye Beizhi.
