"Exactly!" The soldier replied, "My lord will set up a camp in the col not far from here, and the prefect may go and meet him." If you don't want to meet, you can leave this way, and you can rest assured that there are no Mongols in the vicinity recently. ”

Wang Kui looked at this person suspiciously, half-convinced, when did the Great Song Dynasty official army start to equip with leather armor? The origin is in the fourth road of Sichuan Gorge, whether it is the forbidden army or the box army, it is either iron armor or cloth armor, and I have never seen troops equipped with leather armor.

And this person was alone and sneakily hiding in the grass, hiding his figure, it was really suspicious, Wang Kui was careless, the big knife in his hand was not put down, frowning and not talking.

Someone from the scattered Song soldiers came over and reported in a low voice: "My lord, no trace of anyone else was found nearby, there should be only this person." ”

Wang Kui nodded, then put down the big knife and asked, "This brother, the master of your family, why is he hiding here?" It must be known that the surrounding Mongolian rangers are rampant, and once they are discovered, they will attract as many Mongolian soldiers as leeches, and then they will sigh in vain. ”

The soldier smiled, didn't answer the question, just clenched his fists.

Wang Kui saw that he didn't talk, thinking that he was asking abruptly, this deputy envoy of Xuzhou defense, maybe escaped from the city of Chengdu when it was broken, and he was a defeated soldier like himself, hiding here to settle down, and it was a little embarrassing to ask this sentence.

So Wang Kui didn't ask any more, and wanted to turn around and leave, but when he saw the tired dishes on his soldiers' faces, he immediately stood on his heels.

After thinking about it, he still turned his face cheekily and asked the Fulu soldier who had replanted the grass on his body: "Brother, do you have any surplus food in your camp?" ”

He arched his hand, and said with some embarrassment: "We ran all the way from Hanzhou, fought along the way, ran out of dry food, and stopped for several days, it is indeed a little embarrassing, I don't know if your master will borrow some food for emergency relief?" ”

The soldier didn't stop with his hand, and he smiled: "My lord went to talk to my lord, and it is inconvenient for the villain to talk about such things." ”

"Well, where will your master be? It can lead the way in front of the head. ”

The soldier waved his hand and said, "The small duty is here, and you can't leave without permission, but you can send a companion to lead the way for the adults." ”

Wang Kui looked left and right, and then looked at the haystack where the soldier was hiding, but he didn't find anyone else, and he was wondering, but he heard the soldier put his hand to his mouth and let out a few cries similar to birdsong.

From a very tall tree not far away, a person jumped down in response, startling Wang Kui, he couldn't help but look over there, only to see that the person who jumped down was tied with a lot of leaves, and wrapped the whole person in it, so hidden in the tree, as long as it didn't move, thousands of troops and horses under the tree could not find out.

The soldier who was tied to the grass said a few words to the man who jumped down from the tree, and the man nodded and said, "Yes, captain." He gave up his hand, came to Wang Kui, and made a gesture of please: "My lord, please come with me." ”

Beneath the leaves on this man's body was also dressed in leather armor and long knives, with the same equipment as a soldier who tied grass, and his face was dark, more like a peasant.

Wang Kui was calm, turned back to the deputy general beside him and said, "You stay here, be careful and be careful!" I took a few people with him. ”

The adjutant general nodded: "Be careful, I don't think these people are right, the army is not the army and the people, and there is a big difference between us and the Song Dynasty officers and soldiers." ”

Wang Kui sneered: "It's a big deal, it's a group of stragglers, we've come over with a lot of wind and waves, and we're still afraid of them?" I'll go back as soon as I go. ”

With that, he carried a big knife, took a few personal soldiers, and strode along with the person leading the way in front of him.

All the way along, it is hilly and densely wooded. The people in front of them were all walking among the grass and shrubs without a road, but they were flexible, and they flashed in the thorns and thorns, but they suffered Wang Kui and others who followed behind, and they were scraped with blood marks on their hands and feet, and there were blood holes everywhere.

It was easy to walk to a relatively flat place, Wang Kui caught up with the leading soldier who walked easily, and walked side by side with him, he was surprised to find that this road was not easy to walk, he walked out of breath, but the other party did not blush, the physical fitness is good, which is evident.

He had a question that he had been holding back, and he was embarrassed to ask, but at this time he finally couldn't hold it back, so he said: "Brother, how many of you were in ambush there just now?" Why do I see that your captain learned to call a bird at random, and you came down from the tree? ”

"That's the secret word of our Shimenfan, a bird call that is not available here, only we understand." The soldier was also refreshed, and probably felt that others would not be able to learn from it: "We have a team of eighteen soldiers, and we are all there." ”

"Eighteen?" Wang Kui was surprised, his subordinates obviously probed the surroundings, and they didn't even find any hair: "Why didn't I see it?" ”

"Let the adults see it, and we are not qualified to be dark ghosts." The man laughed, revealing a row of very white teeth, which contrasted strongly with his complexion: "Hidden ghosts are the first lesson in the introduction. ”

Shimenfan, Wang Kui has been thinking about it since he first heard the name of this place just now, this seems to be a barbarian department in Xuzhou, could it be that this deputy envoy of Xuzhou defense is a barbarian of Shimenfan?

His face was a little difficult to look at, so when he was talking to the Fulu soldiers just now, there were eighteen people staring at him in the dark?

Thousands of people haven't found out?

It's a little scary to think about it, who knows where those eighteen people are hiding, in case someone takes a crossbow and shoots an arrow at him, wouldn't he even know how he died?

He couldn't help but want to ask questions again, always feeling that there were too many things he couldn't understand about this self-proclaimed "dark ghost".

But the leader did not give him such an opportunity, and turned a hillside into a small valley hidden in the mountains, and in the midst of the tall pine forests on all sides, a gray tent was outlined.

"This is the camp of my lord, my lord, please." The soldier who led the way turned around and said a word, and walked forward on his own.

Wang Kui was about to follow, but in the bushes on both sides, countless figures appeared almost instantly, raising the long knives that flashed with cold light at the same time, surrounding several people.

The leader raised his hand, walked over to one of the tall figures, and after saying a few words, the man looked at Wang Kui.

This is a young general, seven feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, heroic and with the unique wildness of mountain people, a leather armor painted with black lacquer, the long knife in his hand is long and narrow, the handle is very long, the blade has a slight amplitude, the blade is sharp, it is a first-class blade at a glance, but it is not a knife of the Great Song Dynasty.

He strode up to Wang Kui, looked at it and said, "The last general Xuzhou Defense Deputy Envoy has Jiulong Langruo, can Your Excellency have a token from the prefect of Hanzhou?" ”

It's very cautious. Wang Kui secretly praised, and said in his heart that these soldiers look very strong, and they are also careful in their work, distinguish between friend and foe, and do not be gullible in their clothes and armor, but it is correct, the Mongols have pretended to be the Song army more than once.

The first time Chengdu City was breached, it was because Ding Pi, the deputy envoy of the system at that time, mistakenly thought that the Mongols under the banner of the Song Army were really his own people, and opened the city gate to meet each other, and was taken advantage of the opportunity to break the city.

He stretched out his hand and took out the bronze seal of the prefect of Hanzhou from his arms, handed it over and said, "This is the official seal letter, which is enough to prove my identity." ”

Jiulong Langruo took it, looked at it carefully in the sun, and sighed and covered it on the back of his hand with a moistened seal before handing it back to Wang Kui.

"The soldiers are in chaos, the northern captives are cunning, in order to be safe, there is something to offend, please don't be surprised." Jiulonglang bowed slightly, and gestured sideways: "My master will be in front, please come with me." ”
