Xiao Young suddenly became nervous, the team of leather armor soldiers, all of them were extremely stocky, at first glance, they were powerful people, their movements were agile, their formations were neat, the spear in their hands was very peculiar, and there was a horizontal hook on the blade, which was somewhat like the hook and sickle of the Great Song Dynasty, but it was going to grow a lot.

As soon as the soldiers appeared, they scattered in a "loud uproar", guarding both sides of the road, and the blades of the guns facing the sky were bright and sharp, as if as long as they were put down, it would be effortless to divide and kill the hundreds of people in the caravan.

Looking further up, in the dense shadows of the trees, there are many leather armor soldiers with bows and crossbows looming among the leaves, and the arrows reflecting the sunlight in the light and shadow, like the stars in the dark night sky, revealing cruel beauty.

Seeing that Xiao Young was tense, Lao Wei slapped him on the back with a smile, and almost jumped up when he slapped him: "You're afraid of a ball!" They are here to protect us, Mr. Changsun is a prisoner of the Great Song Dynasty on the Haipu Paperwork, and the criminal department is all on the list, if you are not careful, if the eagle claws of the imperial court get in, it will not be good. ”

At this time, the dog in front of him had already spoken to the leader of the leather armor soldiers, and seeing the two of them talking and laughing and hooking their shoulders, they were indeed very familiar and friendly.

The little young man's heart was a little more steady, but when he walked under the spear like a knife and spear, he still couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable, and he followed the person with his head down, not even daring to raise his head.

Because the leather armor soldiers on both sides are too strong, with a straight face and no squinting, and a majestic posture with a chest and belly, where can the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty seen on weekdays have such a majestic bearing?

The rest of the caravan was an old man who had been here a few times, but they were not afraid at all, they were still talking and laughing, and greeted the soldiers in a friendly manner, even if they did not get a response, they were not tired of it, as if it was an honor to be able to greet the soldiers here.

"Where is Mr. Changsun?" The dog walked side by side with the leader of the leather armoured soldiers and asked, "I have new news for him." ”

"Mr. is in the meeting, meet with the prince of the Duan family in Dali to discuss important matters." The leather armor officer said: "He said that if Brother Li, the shopkeeper of Li, comes, he will go directly to see him." ”

"Oh, the Duan family?" The dog nodded, narrowing his eyes thoughtfully.

The two of them walked for a while, going round and round in the mountain stream, the post road twisted and turned, and wandered among the mountains, as if walking in a huge intestine during the elongated caravan.

"By the way, Kowloon, the team of soldiers you brought is getting more and more elite." The dog pointed to the soldier in front of him and smiled: "You practice weekdays, right?" ”

The officer named Jiulong Lang Ruo smiled slightly, and said: "Shopkeeper Li has passed the award, Mr. Changsun is strict, and the regulations he personally promulgated are comprehensive, we just need to do it according to the law, and we don't need to use our brains." If you want to talk about hard work, being a soldier is a hundred times better than the previous life in the mountains, and everyone doesn't feel hard. ”

The dog stared at the knife on his waist, all of them were envious, and leaned over with a brushed face: "I said, I mentioned it to you last time, give me your knife, how about it?" Will you cash in this time? ”

Jiulonglang glanced at him and was unmoved: "Mr. said, if the shopkeeper Li asks for a knife and asks him to take care of Mr. to go, our knives are all inscribed, one for each person, the knife is in the person, and if you are missing, you will be beaten with a military stick, how dare you give it to you?" ”

The dog snorted in his nose, muttered a word of "stingy", and said: "Your brother Kowloon Angde, with Mr. Guard's guards, must be more elite, right?" Looking for him? ”

"Then don't even think about it, my brother is more rigid than me, loyal to Mr., and takes his words as a holy decree, if you ask him for a knife, maybe I will tie you up in front of Mr." Jiulong Langruo shook his head and said: "The Shimen Fan Army is strictly disciplined, even if the shopkeeper Li is a small man, it is not forbidden. ”

The snort in the dog's nose was louder, but there was nothing to be done, Jiulong, who had a tendon, had no choice, and muttered to himself angrily: "I said a long time ago, let me come over, the soldiers with me may be better, I want to stay in Rui Fuxiang, what is more important to say here, don't expose your identity, say that you have done a good job, no less than Han Zhixiao's credit." But I want to be an officer, I want to be an officer since I was a child, but I just want to be a businessman, running around with the old fritter of Ran Daqi, it's been ten years, and the business is getting bigger and bigger, but it's getting farther and farther away from my original intention! ”

He was dissatisfied with himself, Jiulonglang didn't hear it, and when he finished venting, he asked: "Brother Li, I heard that the Mongolians are calling outside, tell me, what do the Mongolians look like?" Isn't it so powerful? ”

Speaking of the Mongolians, the dog's face suddenly became solemn, his waist straightened, and he said in a deep voice: "I came in this time, first, to deliver salt department stores and transport tea out; Second, it is to report the general trend outside, and the Mongols have entered Sichuan! ”

He said: "The appearance of the Mongolians is somewhat different from that of the Central Plains, with wide faces, fine eyes and wide ears, short and strong figures, good at riding and shooting, growing up on horseback since childhood, to say that they are good at fighting and killing, they do not eat rice grain, and eat horse meat and beef, so they are strong and powerful, and they are cruel to killing!" ”

"In the middle of last year, Song and Mongolia joined forces to destroy the Jin State, and the Emperor of the Jin State committed suicide in the Ru River, and many of his men died in battle. The Song and Mongolian kingdoms divided the land of the Jin Kingdom. ”

"The greed of the Mongols is no worse than that of the Liao and Jin! How can there be a reason to guard the vast territory of the Great Song Dynasty in the south without being moved? So under the pretext that the Song army reneged on the covenant, occupied Bianliang City, and brazenly entered the Kou! ”

"Since the beginning of this year, the Great Khan of Mongolia has agreed with the kings to send a large army south to attack the Great Song Dynasty. Send the prince to attack Shu, and the prince will attack Xianghan, and the two will go hand in hand! ”

"Don't mention it, just say that the broad end into Sichuan, he entered the river from Fengzhou, Kechuzhou, killed Gao Jia, and surrounded the Sichuan Gorge Four Roads to make Zhao Yanna in Qingye Plain, Zhao Yanna broke through in embarrassment. Then in Gongchang, the former Jin general Wang Shixian was surrendered, tens of thousands of people, his strength rose sharply, he attacked the state, and killed the defending general Quan Gui and Zhizhou Dong Pengfei. Breaking Xihezhou, killing the Tianshui Army Zhizhou when Ke, Xihezhou governor Chen Yu, approaching Dasanguan, the Song army retreated without a fight, abandoned the state to retire to Yangpingguan, and now with the Song generals Cao Youwen and Cao Wan are fighting here, it has been more than 20 days. ”

After saying so much in one breath, the dog finally took a deep breath and concluded: "If Yangping Pass can't be defended, the Song army can only retreat to the Sword Pavilion and protect the front line of Chengdu, otherwise, Shu will be in danger!" ”

Jiulong Langruo listened with a very serious face, he was a barbarian, he had never been out of the mountains, although he practiced martial arts freely, and he was outstanding in the tribal wars of the barbarians, but he had never fought with the nomads who fought on horseback, and he heard it for the first time at this moment, of course he was serious.

"Brother Li, in this way, the Mongols are really fierce?" He frowned and said, "Didn't the people of the Jin Kingdom beat the Great Song Dynasty to the point of losing two emperors before?" They forced the Emperor of Jin to commit suicide, but their strength was above that of Jin! ”

"Of course, let me tell you, the Mongols haven't used all their strength yet!" Gouzi said, his face was very solemn: "At the same time as the two roads went south, their crown prince Guiyou and imperial nephew Meng Ge, led by King Zong's Batu, went west to Kipchak, Hanros and other places, and the soldiers on both sides still beat the Great Song Dynasty to ashes, if they go south with all their might......"

The two glanced at each other and shuddered, Jiulong Langruo shook his head: "Such a strong enemy should be a joint force and a common enemy, but the Great Song Dynasty joined forces with them to destroy the Jin Kingdom, isn't this helping others smash their own door?" ”
