Dian Wei was thinking about taking other routes to bypass, but Pang Tong said, "Go over and take a look." Dian Wei grinned in surprise, but it was an order.

The two of them hurried north. The place where the conflict took place was a fairly empty wooded area. The two climbed onto a large tree, pulling branches and covering them with leaves. The scene was chaotic, with a group of archers hiding in trees, and people in armor and armor constantly pouring in from nowhere. The man with a majestic face who had passed by Pang Tong was leading the people of the warrior group to escort the patriarch Shanduolei. However, the situation is not optimistic, and there is blood on Shandore's body in many places, and an arrow is still stuck in his right shoulder. More than a dozen people had died on the ground, many of them members of the Warrior Regiment, most of whom had died from sharp arrows.

Dian Wei unleashed his wisteria bow, took out a feathered arrow, and squinted his eyes at the enemy soldier on the tree pole in the distance. The arrow pierced the archer's neck with unmistakable accuracy, and the corpse rolled over and fell to the ground. In this way, he shot six people in a row, and in a place where there were no people at all from Pang Tong's point of view, he only relied on his intuition and the shaking of the shadow, bent his bow and arrows, and actually shot a person in the shadow behind the leaves. There were a total of 30 arrows in the quiver, and 18 archers were killed and wounded within the visual range. Pang Tong was secretly surprised. The remaining twelve arrows were aimed at the enemy soldiers who were chasing Shandore and the others with their backs to them, and a total of eleven people were shot at the moving target.

The enemy soldiers were shocked when they saw this, and thought that the Wasai soldiers had arrived, and that nearly 100 of the remaining people had fled. Pang Tong and Dian Wei saw that the people were scattered, and then they fell from the tree to the ground. Dian Wei took the halberd leaning against the tree. The two of them hurried in the direction of Shandore.

The thirteen members of the warrior group escorted Shanduolei to escape, naturally the speed was not fast, and the two quickly caught up. Seeing the two shadows in the rear approaching quickly, as if facing a great enemy, the crowd divided six people to block them. Pang Tong saw that each of them was holding a short sword, and said loudly: "My own people! "Even the people who were fleeing behind heard it. When everyone saw that only two of them were skeptical. I saw that the man with a majestic face asked one person to carry Shanduolei on his back, and rushed over by himself, and frowned when he saw Pang Tong.

Pang Tong said angrily: "We just helped you kill a lot of enemy soldiers, shouldn't you have seen it?" ”

The man's expression of sudden realization reminded him of the strange commotion of the enemy just now.

"I'm the regimental commander Badar, let's go!"

Pang Tong sounded familiar, and he vaguely remembered that Xiangche asked him not to talk to this person.

Everyone retreated to the foot of the mountain, and the guards turned pale when they saw this, and hurriedly greeted the patrols on the mountain road. Everyone in the Warriors camp was mobilized and began to defend. Shandore was carried to his big house, and the people shivered as they saw it, and the women screamed loudly.

The entire village was in an unprecedented panic. Xiangyi, Say and others poured into the big house. Pang Tong and Dian Wei and the rest of the warrior group waited outside. All the skilled people in the village were present, and they were busy. The room was surrounded by clansmen, each with their necks stretched in waiting. There was uneasiness in his eyes. Those children who were giggling and carefree on weekdays had lost their voices, and snuggled up to the adults like long straws.

In the evening, the heavy sunset reflects the valley red. Most of the healers withdrew, leaving only Sayi and Xiangyi behind. Xiang Che also came out, crying and crying. Pang Tongyi pulled him to his side and asked, "How is it?" ”

He didn't speak, he couldn't stop crying. Pang Tong was annoyed, but he couldn't do anything about him, and he was very anxious in his heart. The surrounding tribesmen may have been infected by him, and they all cried, and the scene was like a funeral ceremony.

Suddenly, Badar of the Warrior Regiment came out.

"What's the matter with the patriarch?"

Pang Tong asked with concern.

Badar frowned and said, "Saved my life for the time being." He didn't say anything else, and led the Warriors to the southern line. The crowd breathed a sigh of relief when they heard his words.

As the night deepened, a thick mist enveloped the valley. But there are still torches around the square. Pang Tong felt the mist hit his face, and the droplets of water condensed and flowed down his face.

Say dragged his tired body down the stairs, and the people in the distance couldn't make out who was standing there. She said to everyone: "Go back, go back, wait for the command, the patriarch is fine." ”

But the tribesmen refused to leave for a long time, and remained motionless like ghosts in the mist. Say could only raise his voice with all his might: "This is an order, go home." ”

The tribesmen began to disperse reluctantly. Pang Tong and Dian Wei couldn't pull back at all, and they didn't know the situation outside.

Pang Tong sat in the room, the fire on the oil bowl faltering. Dian Wei opened the curtain and walked in, sat down with a heavy face, and said, "Ask clearly." Today they met with Liu Yan's envoy to negotiate peaceful coexistence. Originally, after two previous peace talks, Liu Yan's envoy said that he wanted to give freedom to the mountain people, so this time it was used as the final negotiation, but it was an ambush battle. The Wasai have not been in a war for decades, and it is estimated that their brains are rusty, and this kind of thing should be guarded against. ”

Pang Tong's right hand rested on his chin, pondered for a while, and then sighed: "It seems that it is the situation, Ma Teng occupies the territory in the north, and I am a little worried." ”

Dian Wei was surprised: "Why did your lord think of this? ”

Pang Tong raised his head and said, "Ma Teng's men and horses are good evidence in the north. Only when Liu Yan and Ma Teng are on good terms, Liu Yan has time to rectify this kind of domestic affairs. In this way, the tribes of this mountain range will have great trouble. ”

Dian Wei gasped and said, "Shall we still go?" ”

Pang Tong, who leaned over and blew out the lights, fell asleep on the mat, and said, "Wait and see what happens, go to bed first." ”

The two went to bed early and woke up early. When I woke up, it was light. At this time, the fog was particularly heavy, and when the curtain of the door was opened, the thick fog rushed in, and Pang Tong couldn't adapt at once, coughed a few times, and retreated into the room.

"I really can't sleep today, is this how the air is at this time?"

Facing Pang Tong's question, Dian Wei, who was standing on the side, nodded. The two of them sat back and waited for the sun to shine before stepping out of the room. At this time, the fog has receded, and the wind is high and refreshing. However, there were fewer pedestrians coming and going, and there were more patrols of the Warrior Regiment in groups of two, shuttling through the village.

It should be a busy time for everyone on weekdays, but it is like a deserted village bathed in the morning light. Pang Tong and Dian Wei did not go far and turned back. They wanted to visit the patriarch's house on the edge of the square, but the patrol told them that it was now off-limits. When they got back into the house, the hot breakfast was already on the floor. I don't know who came, but it seems that even under special circumstances, the people in the village will not forget these two outsiders. This touched the two of them very much.

At noon, Kazuki brought them lunch. The boy whose eyes were red and swollen from crying put down the wooden plate with a serious face, and his heavy heart made the laughing scenes in Pang Tong's mind unreal. It seems that no joy ever befell this child.

Pang Tong saw that he was leaving, and hurriedly asked, "How is the patriarch?" ”

"I don't know, they won't let me in."

Xiang Che's voice was very hoarse, and after his breakfast plate left, Pang Tong and Dian Wei both sighed.

"What the hell are you thinking, sir?"

For Dian Wei's sudden question, Pang Tong was stunned, turned around and stared at his subordinates, and asked, "What does the heavenly bear refer to?" ”

Dian Wei said: "If you want to leave, you should have left last night." If we wait for Liu Yan's army to overwhelm the realm, how can we escape. ”

"Hmm. The people in this village have saved me, and I can't let go of it......"

Dian Wei interrupted suddenly: "What about Sizhou and Yongzhou? Without you, it would be difficult to predict the situation over there, or the situation in the world. Isn't it for the happiness of all? Are you going to stop on the mountain now? ”

Pang was ashamed when he was unified.

"But as long as it's a big man's decision, I, the Tenbear, will follow it."

"Please bear with me. I don't want to see this beautiful village polluted by Liu Yan's dirty hands, when I think of the Vasai people being conquered, the blood in the valley is flowing, and everyone has become slaves...... I can't even imagine what will happen to a girl like Xiangyi. ”

Speaking of this, even Dian Wei seemed to be stimulated, and a look of unease flashed across his face. After all, those hunters had a good relationship with themselves, and the people in the village were so hospitable, what a cruel scene it would be if they died under the sword. He also wanted to wait for Pang Tong to unify the whole country and settle here later. "We can't let that happen." Dian Wei secretly made a desperate decision in his heart.

Pang Tong continued: "I want to do something for this place, even if it's a small effort. ”

After the two of them had dinner, about an hour or so passed. As the curtain was opened, an uninvited guest in leather armor with an expressionless face arrived.

Badal looked down at the two of them, his cheeks twitching as if he were embarrassed, and under his skin was a sense of disobedience that had been mixed with the prejudice against the outside and the change of perception after receiving the favor before. He said, "The patriarch told you to go. ”

An ambiguous sentence, thanks to what he said when he looked at Pang Tong. After Pang Tong got up, he followed behind this man who was unfriendly and innocent on the surface, and came to the outside of the patriarch's house. Badal pulled back the black curtain, and Ponton stepped inside. The strong smell of a mixture of various Chinese herbs invades the nasal cavity, and the mucous membranes are filled with this trace substance. In the dim darkness of the room, light filtered through the brown curtains.
