Chapter 82: Learning Martial Arts
South of Fox Ridge Fortress
Fifty miles
Zeng Hanru took the pioneer battalion and the guard battalion, totaling more than 2,500 men, and withdrew from the scope of the Huling fortress overnight.
Originally, the pioneer battalion was mainly cavalry, so the foot distance was relatively fast, and when it came, it rushed here in one night. However, the guards battalion was mainly made up of foot soldiers, so the two sides accommodated to each other, and only walked out of the fortress fifty miles after hurrying slowly.
Zeng Hanru was naturally a high-headed horse walking in the front, with Jiang Yun and Pei Zhenfeng on both sides, followed by Zhao Jizong, and finally Zeng Ziren, who was hanging his head all the way.
Jiang Yun looked back at the direction of the Fox Ridge Fortress, although the shadow of the city could no longer be found at this distance, but the sky after the fire was a little gray.
He grabbed the horse's belly, walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Zeng Hanru, and said in his ear: "My lord, do we need to send someone back to investigate the traces of the regimental training camp, even if we tell them that we have evacuated, will it be a little ...... to leave directly?"
Is it going to be a bit of an official revenge, although Jiang Yun didn't finish speaking, Zeng Hanru also knew what he meant.
That day, in front of the yamen of the capital commander's office, it was quite faceless to be comforted by this petition for the people, but Zeng Lao commanded the envoy really not the kind of person with a small belly, and he could carry it clearly in public and private.
You have offended him, he is not a saint, he will remember, at most whether or not you are promoted or dismissed, but it is definitely not to die on the battlefield without help, this is the most basic mind of a general in his opinion.
But this time it's really powerless, how can I fight with a thousand remnants in my hands and cavalry who have traveled for a long time? was able to arrive before Zeng Ziren decided to bury all the guards camp, he felt that the ancestor of the Zeng family had appeared.
"Alas, there's no way, if you want to say it, let them say go, in this situation, morale is already low, and there is no reason to let the people who have already picked up their lives go back to die."
Zeng Hanru sighed helplessly, thinking about bringing these people back alive first, and then planning later.
Jiang Yun actually didn't mean it all, he was worried that Zeng Hanru's army was gone, and the 30,000 people of the Wugu Sect didn't all rush towards Anyi?
So I originally wanted Zeng Hanru to retreat farther away, as long as he moved out of a posture, he could help An Yi contain some soldiers and horses of the Wugu Sect, but looking at what the old commander said, it is estimated that he didn't have this mind, so he dispelled this idea.
Comfort, you ask for more blessings, the old commander is really old, and he has become timid.
Jiang Yun thought so in his heart.
"Tell the commander, the road fifteen miles ahead is blocked by huge trees, and it will take at least two or three hours to clear it, and the sentry has sent me to ask your lordship, do you need to choose the way?"
A scout who galloped on a horse turned over and knelt in front of Zeng Hanru's horse and said.
Zeng Hanru's face, which had no color when he was comed, suddenly became even darker, and he asked in a deep voice: "Are there any other official roads that can be taken?" ”
"Tell my lord, since now there is a small road to the west, passing through the first line of heavenly canyons, that road is very smooth, and the other official roads must at least go back for hundreds of miles."
The distance of hundreds of miles meant that they would have to linger for another day not far from the Fox Ridge Fortress, and if they encountered the Wugu Sect, it would inevitably be another vicious battle.
But he didn't have a good impression of the glimmer of heaven in the scout's mouth, it was a valley wide at both ends and narrow in the middle, and once someone was ambushed on the mountain, he would say that it was a crossbow arrow, or it would be a stone, and it would be enough for them to drink a pot.
"My lord, I think we should go back, the place is so dangerous, if they ambush us and block us inside, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Pei Zhenfeng, the general commander of the pioneer battalion who followed up, suggested to Zeng Hanru, who was hesitant.
Zeng Hanru frowned, his cloudy eyes looked a little distracted and staring at the distant peaks, and his hands kept brushing the gray beard on his chin.
Suddenly, he retracted his gaze to the scout in front of the horse, "Let's go a line of sky, it's too long to go back, and now the fortress must be surrounded by the sentry cavalry of the Five Grain Sect, once we are discovered, at the current speed, we can't get rid of their fast cavalry at all, and we can only be bitten to death a little bit."
A glimmer of heaven, let's take a gamble, I don't believe that the Wugu Sect can be sharp enough to rush to the first line of heaven to block us as soon as he took the Fox Ridge Fortress. No matter how strong it is, it is also a group of peasant troops, and the grain and silver in the villages around Long'an Mansion are not worth more than our big-headed soldiers? ”
After hearing this, the scout already understood the meaning of the commander, bowed his head to Zeng Hanru, and then turned on his horse and galloped away.
Zeng Hanru looked at the direction of the sky from afar, he believed that he had made the best choice with his rich experience, but there was still an indescribable sense of uneasiness lingering in his heart.

Night
Sixty miles northwest of Huling
Regimental training camp
After driving dozens of miles from the south of the Fox Mountains in one breath, the regimental training camp with sleepy people and horses was arranged by Jiang Shang, and he found a place near the stream to set up camp and bury pots to make food, so that the hungry soldiers could get a moment of rest.
After comfortably telling Jin Mingyin to arrange the secret whistle around, he walked towards a high dirt slope alone, after many days of hustle and bustle, he just wanted to find a place where no one was, wait quietly for a while, and take a good look at the rare round of huge full moon tonight.
However, when he turned from below and under the high slope, he found that there was already a shadow standing above his head, and he had already occupied the position there.
An Yi stood at the foot of the high slope, looking up by the moonlight, which couldn't help but remind him of the night when Gao Yingshu stood on the "Shimen God" in front of the walled gate of Jiulong Mountain and waited for him to return.
"Miss Liu is so elegant?"
He walked up the high slope and said to the shadow.
The shadow didn't turn around, but responded lightly: "What? Isn't Lord An still worried about a little woman? Even when eating, I have to come and watch over. ”
An Yi slowly walked to the slope, sat down at the edge of the high slope, and let her legs swing in the void below the slope, "Miss Liu has thought about it too much, I just ran around for the past few days, and I was a little sad, and I didn't have the heart to eat." ”
Liu Siyi saw that An Yi was like a child swinging, his legs kept dangling back and forth, and he covered his lips and chuckled lightly.
"The group training makes the adults think about so many twists and turns in their minds every day, can it not hurt the spirit."
An Yi raised his head, also looked at Liu Siyi with a smile, and asked, "What, are you blaming me for arresting you to the camp?" ”
"It's rare, Lord An can still admit that he arrested me, I thought that the adult was going to come up with the rhetoric that escorted me to Shaanxi." Liu Siyi said angrily.
"I can't help myself, and I am always responsible for the safety of my brothers."
An Yi looked a little apologetic.
Liu Siyi gently wrapped her slender fingers around the green silk bun next to her ear, and her soft eyes inadvertently glanced at the comfort sitting on the side.
"Does Lord An really think that Yun'er and I are spies of the Five Grains Sect?"
Liu Siyi's eyes were sprinkled with the halo of the moon, making An Yi look like a thin layer of mist from the bottom up.
"I think Miss Liu still calls me Gongzi An, and it's more comfortable to listen to."
"You haven't answered my question yet, Gongzi An."
She deliberately pulled the elder of "An Gongzi" to show her dissatisfaction with An Yi's lack of positive answers.
An Yi raised the arm supported behind his body, and then made a beckoning gesture towards Liu Siyi, who was standing,
"Miss Liu, if you have something to say, you might as well sit down and say, the wind on this slope is so strong, what you say has been blown away, and I haven't heard a word."
After hearing this, Liu Siyi pulled out the scimitar on his waist that glowed with a faint blue light and was as thin as a cicada's wings, slowly squatted down, and gestured in front of his smiling face, and said with a slightly cold face: "Doesn't Gongzi An know that teasing my sister is a very dangerous thing?" ”
The petite Liu Siyi, the squatting figure was just as tall as when he sat comfortably.
An Yi looked at the sharp weapon that was about to be attached to his face, and Liu Siyi's iron-blue face, feeling like a cat showing its sharp claws to demonstrate with itself,
Although this cat's claws can really cut off his head.
"If you kill me comfortably, then you really won't be able to get out of this barracks, and when the army of the King of Shu returns to the division, you will be unable to escape."
"In this way, Childe has decided that Siyi is a person from the Five Grains Sect."
Liu Siyi listened to An Yi's words and knew that he had identified his identity, although this was indeed a fact, but somehow, there was a sudden and inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.
With a twist of her wrist, she turned around with the scimitar in her hand, and inserted it back into the scabbard accurately, and then simply sat directly on the edge of the high slope as comfortable, turned her head and asked him coldly: "Since you have confirmed our identity, why don't you kill us during the day, if I have a mortal intention to kill you now, do you think you have a chance to live?" ”
An Yi smiled disappreciatively: "What does Miss Liu have to do with the Wugu Sect, I don't know, and I don't want to know." But you saved Ying Shu's life, I still remember this favor, so no matter what, I won't do anything to the two of you, but during the war, I also have to protect the safety of the regimental training camp, so for the time being, I will wronged you to stay with me. ”
Then he paused, and then said, "As for what Miss Liu wants to be comfortable with me, that's your business, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
Liu Siyi looked suspicious, and it sounded as if An Yi was deliberately looking for a reason to let her go, which caused her to ask the bottom of the matter again: "Didn't you say that saving Miss Yingshu would be regarded as returning that glass of water and wine?" The two cancel each other, how can you still say that you owe me a favor? ”
"Miss Liu is a good businessman, my comfortable woman, is worth a glass of water and wine with you?" An Yi pretended to be teasing and asked rhetorically,
It's like Liu Siyi owes An Yi a big favor, but he wants to exchange it for a glass of water and wine.
"What does Gongzi An mean, sister, I really don't have a chance to return this glass of water and wine?"
Liu Siyi leaned Miaoman's body back, and the two snow-white lotus arms, with skin like clotted cream, were hidden in the bright red smoke yarn sleeves, gently supported behind him, looming in the bright moonlight.
An Yi let this charming and charming beauty bloom wantonly in his pupils, and added an intriguing smile to his face.
"That's good, anyway, Miss Liu has to stay in my camp for a few days, your martial arts are so strong, why don't you teach me two tricks?"
After listening to An Yi's words, Liu Siyi actually giggled: "My good brother, my sister's martial arts are all skillful, how can you learn it as a big man." ”
To be honest, An Yi really doesn't know much about the aspect, and the two tricks he learned from his master at home since he was a child are all three-plate axes, that is, no matter who he meets, he is just a dead move played by those few steps.
"Miss Liu doesn't teach, how do you know that I can't learn." An Yi looked at Liu Siyi with some provocation, looking determined.
Liu Siyi smiled, looked at him with silky eyes, and the two black pearls in his eyes turned around and said, "Okay, but I have one condition, teaching you martial arts is to be worth that glass of water and wine, and you are not allowed to mention it to me in the future." ”
Comfortably and quickly retracted the legs that were swinging on the slope, then stood up, dusted off the dust on the robe, and said to Liu Siyi with a smile: "No problem! Then it's a word, and it's going to start tomorrow. ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked down the high slope, feeling like he had come to learn martial arts from him tonight.
Liu Siyi thought like this, obviously he finally found an excuse and served the glass of magic wine, but when he saw the comfortable appearance, he always felt that he had suffered a loss.
