Text Chapter 5 Shadows

Deep in the mountains, in the dense forests, it seems natural to hide a hunter. The shining moonlight cannot give a person a guide in his direction.

Lu Zhao carried a knife, a longbow and feather arrows on his back, and carried in his arms the yellow cloth package given to him by the middle-aged man who still didn't know his name. Just now, they reached a deal, which was also a compromise that Lu Zhao had to compromise. He helped the middle-aged man deliver the yellow cloth package to the Great Wall and hand it over to a general named Cao Xianye. And the middle-aged man went to help him rescue Yu Zhan. and promised that if Yu Zhan didn't go to him, then even if he burned the yellow cloth package, he would go wherever he wanted, just as their agreement never existed.

He didn't want to believe the middle-aged man, and even regretted saving him. But now, there is no other way but to believe it again.

The experience from childhood to adulthood has clearly told him that they have the blood of the Han people, even if they plead to the Xiongnu, it is useless.

Lu Zhao hid in a cave where only he and Yu Zhan knew the detailed location, crossed his hands behind his head, squinted his eyes and prayed for God's mercy to bless Yu Zhan with luck.

It's a big deal, next time he kills one less pheasant.

However, at the intersection of the mountain village that he could not see. Yu Zhan slowly walked into the mountain village step by step, followed by a carriage and two rows of soldiers. Two words fluttered on the banner hanging high above, "Cowardly Xue!" ”

The curtains of the carriage were hung on both sides, and the coachman smiled on them and said, "Boy, your glory and wealth are indispensable for good cooperation." If you dare to hide anything, I promise you'll regret living in this world. ”

Ge Tiankite's voice sounded behind him, and he said lightly: "Hu Ti, you go and gather all the people in the village together. Every time you burn incense, kill one person. Until the person we're looking for finds it. ”

"Yes."

At the front of the carriage, a general in battle robe bowed in response. The eyes he looked at Ge Tianyuan were full of piety. In the hearts of the entire cowardly Xue Jun, they firmly believed that only their great King Zuo Xian could lead them to break through the obstacles of the Great Wall and plunder at will in the flowery world of the Central Plains.

"You've got a stick of incense left, enough time for you to walk through."

Ge Tianyuan smiled at Yu Zhan, who turned his head and glared at her, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please.

Yu Zhan bit his lower lip deadly, and the sound of kicking became heavier and heavier.

"Get out of here, stay over there." Hutti led a pair of soldiers and horses to expel the people of the small mountain village to an open field, and soon, dozens of people were gathered. Others were forced to run this way with spears from a distance. Yu Zhan's eyes widened angrily, and one of the Hun soldiers disliked Grandma Lin next door for walking slowly, so he kicked her in the back and forced her to crawl forward with a spear.

"Find people, or, you watch them die. The choice is yours. Ge Tianyuan looked at all this indifferently, in the land of war, people are not as good as dogs. Every year, when attacking the Great Wall and plundering inside, both sides have to leave countless corpses behind, what is this?

The villagers looked at Yu Zhan blankly, unaware of what was happening.

So someone asked Yu Zhan, "That kid from the Yu family, why did you bring these people in?" ”

Immediately, someone said, "Don't you know who this group is?" You're doing us a disservice. ”

Yu Zhan wanted to explain, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't speak. What is he going to say, tell these people that Lu Zhao brought people back to cause this situation? But what they should hate is the Huns.

Suddenly, the old village chief with gray hair rushed out and shouted: "Be a man and have a clear conscience." We are Han Chinese, and we would rather die than compromise with this gang of Huns! ”

He glanced at Yu Zhan meaningfully.

"Kill him...", said without looking back. It's as casual as crushing an ant.

The villagers were shocked and rioted. Over the years, there are no longer a few of them who have inherited the favor of the old village chief, and every time they are injured or sick, they have to rely on the old village for treatment.

"Be honest!" A group of soldiers shouted in unison, and the spears in their hands were raised at the same time, stopping the scene.

Hu Ti personally controlled the old village chief, pulled out the long knife in his hand, and aimed it at his head!

"Stop!" Yu Zhan's eyes were about to split, and he turned his head and yelled angrily at Ge Tianyuan.

"Stop!"

Almost at the same time, the same loud roar came from behind a large poplar tree with three people hugging each other. A middle-aged man with a bandage around his waist and abdomen, and blood oozing from it, walked out with a wooden cane. He walked five meters away from Ge Tianyuan's carriage with difficulty, stopped and said with even more difficulty: "Ge Tianyuan, the person you are looking for is me, why bother with these helpless people?" ”

"What do you call it? What is your identity among the embroidered messengers? Ge Tianyuan waved his hand, and Hu Ti threw the old village chief, who regarded death as home, back into the crowd.

"It is worthy of being the first wise man, it is really powerful, and he is the messenger Jiang Twelve." The middle-aged man who called himself Jiang Twelve used a wooden staff as a fulcrum, and his waist pole was straight.

"Are you the only one here?"

Ge Tianyuan glanced behind him, and said with a smile: "Where did you let that kid hide with something?" ”

"He went east, King Zuoxian. Do you dare to chase east? I'm powerless to escape, but you may not dare to chase it, right? Jiang Twelve laughed, frowning with a smile and coughing up blood in his throat.

"A dozen miles further east, it is within the coverage of your Han scout team. It was not easy for them to find out, and I wanted to go back. Ge Tianyuan nodded, obviously agreeing with Jiang Twelve's opinion. If a gentleman doesn't stand under the wall, if something happens to her, the king of Zuoxian, it will be a huge blow to them. She is countless times more important than a military defense map.

"I can't imagine that Ge Tiankite, who is known as a last resort, will also admit defeat." Even though the corners of his mouth were still coughing up blood, he still looked very proud. The Xiongnu woman in front of her, who became the first adviser under the account of King Zuo Xian as a woman, was extraordinary, and Yuanwu Khan, who had never coveted the Great Wall, began to invade the Great Wall under her advice. The entire Zuo Xianwang tribe, also under her leadership, is getting stronger and stronger year by year.

It's a pity that Yuanwu's own brother, Youxian Wang Yuanning, opposes her everywhere, and doesn't even ask why. This time, he finally got the defense map of the Great Wall, and he leaked the news.

"Throw in the towel? The game has just begun. ”

Ge Tianyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and ordered: "Bring all these villagers back and take this famous embroidered messenger with you." ”

Then, she got out of the car, waved at Yu Zhan, and said with a smile: "Come here, I have something to say to you." ”
