"How is the old man's health now?" Gathered around the fire, Yingkang asked the old Orion.

"A year is not as good as a year, I think after this year, it is difficult to say whether next year will be able to live." The old man said very observantly, "I don't care about my life and death, but it is difficult to complete the task given to me by the doctor, and I don't know if I can see the Qin people come to Guanzhong in this life!" ”

"Old man, don't you know that the Qin people have come to Guanzhong?" After hearing this, without waiting for Yingkang to speak, Zhao Boyu hurriedly said.

"Oh? You say that the Qin people have come to Guanzhong? The old hunter asked in surprise when he heard the light in his eyes, and then turned his face to look at Yingkang.

Ying Kang nodded slightly, "Old man, the Qin people have indeed come to Guanzhong, but we haven't gained a firm foothold yet, and we will come to pick you up after we really gain a foothold in Guanzhong." ”

The Qin people have already come to Guanzhong?

Hearing such news, the old hunter could no longer suppress the joy in his heart, stood up and walked back and forth in the house, "That's good, that's good, I don't know where our Qin people are now, I'll go to find them early tomorrow morning, as long as I can see the Qin people's city in Guanzhong in this life, I will be satisfied." ”

"Old man, I'm afraid you can't go to them yet." Seeing that the old man was so anxious, Yingkang hurriedly said.

"Why can't you go and find it, don't they recognize me as an old Qin man?" Old Orion asked.

"Old man, you misunderstood, that's what happened." So Yingkang told the old hunter some of the situation after the Qin people entered Guanzhong.

After hearing this, the old Orion said, "Hey---, it seems that it is really difficult for our Qin people to advance eastward!" Then the old hunter asked Ying Kang, "So you went out of the city to find help for the Qin people." ”

At this time, Yingkang didn't want to hide anything, so he said to Zhao Boyu: "You tell the old man about our situation." ”

So Zhao Boyu pointed at Yingkang and said to the old man: "The old man, this is our Qin Army's Master Sima Yingkang." ”

"Oh, you are the Sima of our Qin people?" As he spoke, the old man knelt down in front of Yingkang, "Zhang Deshun, a grass citizen, pays a visit to Lord Sima. ”

"Old man, please get up, you have been here for so many years and have endured the cold eyes of others, and you have worked hard." Yingkang hurriedly picked up the old Orion.

"It's not hard, it's not hard, as long as we Qin people can achieve the goal of eastward expansion, what's the point if I suffer a little hardship?" The old Orion said politely, "I wonder when Lord Sima plans to return to the city?" ”

"I'm going to go back to the city early tomorrow morning."

After listening to Yingkang's words, the old hunter Zhang Deshun said: "Then I wish Lord Sima a victory, and at that time, I wonder if Lord Sima is willing to take in me, an old Qin man who is living here?" ”

Ying Kang said again and again: "As long as the old man is willing to come back, all the Qin people of Ying Kang and Qianyi will welcome it." ”

A meaningful smile appeared on the old man's face, "Thank you Lord Sima for taking you in, but I'm too old to contribute to the Qin people." ”

"The elderly are our wealth, and there are many things that can be done."

"Why don't I call us?" Upon hearing this, the old hunter said happily.

"Okay, then let's settle it, and after we get rid of Feng Rong, let Bo Yu come and pick you up."

"Okay---, I'm waiting for the day you come." The old hunter said happily to Zhao Boyu.

"Just wait, I'll come." Zhao Boyu also said happily.

Talking and chatting, before I knew it, it was dawn.

After dawn, Yingkang and Zhao Boyu had a simple bite to eat at the old Orion's place, and then got up and walked north.

"My lord, shall we go back the way we came?" On the way, Zhao Boyu asked Yingkang Dao.

Ying Kang shook his head, "Yesterday's battle has awakened Feng Rong, and if we return the same way, we will definitely be surrounded and intercepted by them. Today, we might as well go up to the top of Longshan first, all the way to the north, and then return to Qianyi from the north. ”

Back to Cheon-eup from the north?

After listening to Yingkang's words, Zhao Boyu looked at him in surprise and said: "My lord, it's winter now, and the Fengrong army has returned to the Longshan camp. Don't say that you want to return to Qianyi, maybe you will be killed by the enemy halfway through. ”

Ying Kang shook his head, "Don't you know that the more dangerous the place, the safer?" Besides, last time, the king of Yougu Liwang didn't hold us, he must have deployed heavy troops in the south of Qianyi City, waiting to capture us, and at the same time, there will be relatively few soldiers and horses in the north of the city, so it should be easier to enter the city from the north of the city. ”

"That being said, I advise you to be realistic, what if you really run into Feng Rong's tent in the middle of the road?"

"Hey---, I said, why are you so stupid? In such a cold winter weather, who would set up a tent on the top of a mountain? Aren't you afraid of the north wind blowing away in the middle of the night? Ying Kang said to Zhao Boyu with some amusement, "Even if you encounter soldiers and horses, it will only be Fengrong's exploration horses or small groups of patrolling soldiers, and you will definitely not encounter a large group of soldiers and horses." ”

Zhao Boyu smiled when he thought about it, that is! In the winter, the wind on Longshan Mountain is as cold as a knife, and Feng Rong will not set up his tent on the top of the mountain no matter how stupid he is!

"So we can enter the city from the north of Longshan?" Zhao Boyu still asked with some concern.

"I don't know if we'll be able to enter the city during the day, but we know that as long as it goes well, it shouldn't be a problem for us to get into the city at night." Ying Kang continued: "Then it depends on our luck. ”

"Look at luck, look at what luck?" Zhao Boyu asked curiously.

Ying Kang didn't answer, and ran forward with the horse, and Zhao Boyu also rushed forward with the horse when he saw this.

On the Longshan Mountain in winter, in addition to the strong wind, it was snow, and the fluttering blow on the faces of the two of them, Yingkang and Zhao Boyu couldn't help but shrink their necks and continue to hurry.

After walking for about 100 miles, Zhao Boyu saw several black spots not far in front of him in the wind and snow.

"Master Sima, there seems to be someone in front of you?" Zhao Boyu said to Yingkang.

Ying Kang fixed his eyes, and sure enough, three or four black dots appeared in the white wind and snow, constantly moving towards this side.

Ying Kang smiled casually, and then said to Zhao Boyu: "It seems that our entry into the city should be smoother." ”

Zhao Boyu didn't answer his words, but asked, "It should be Fengrong's soldiers in front, what should we do?" ”

"What, you're scared?" Ying Kang teased Zhao Boyu.

As soon as Ying Kang said this, Zhao Boyu was not happy at the moment, "Joke, when have I ever been scared?" Don't say that just the few Fengrong soldiers in front of him, even if he is not afraid of a few more. ”

"Since you're not afraid, then what do you want me to say, go straight over, kill all these people, and then change into their clothes." Ying Kang said to Zhao Boyu.

"Okay, I see." Zhao Boyu replied happily, and the two of them galloped towards the opposite side.
