Chapter 44: Fighting the Tiger in the Mountains 11
Several people according to the instructions of the old man, out of the east entrance of the town has been marching north, who expected that the thirty-mile mountain road is bumpy, but it is not easy to walk, until the dusk moment to arrive at the mouth of the golden silk gorge, in addition to Xiaoxi and Jiexin along the way to talk and laugh and have a donkey to ride, Yan Yu and Xiaofei are saddle before and after the horse all the way to run, physical strength has already been consumed seven or eight points, at this time tired and thirsty, plus the hands are swollen, the pain is unbearable, looking at the mouth of the canyon there is a shallow, no need to command, the two of them jumped in happily one after the other, even drink and wash, feel free.
"Hey...... What are you doing! Can you put on your clothes when you take a shower? The two on the donkey saw Yanyu and Xiaofei jumping naked in the water and playing, first hurriedly turned their eyes away, and shouted again.
"You see anyone bathing in clothes!" Yan Yu shouted happily when he heard the sound, picked up the river again, and threw a splash at the two people on the donkey, but the water splashed in all directions, which provoked Jiaojiao to shout again and again, and even the donkey led people back and forth and retreated.
Xiao Xi blocked the splash with his hand, but after this trouble, even the bun was instantly wet, and he wanted to scold the general to go back when he raised his eyes, but who knew that a wave came again, and the attack was more fierce, and the splash just hit the faces of the two, so he took advantage of the sleeves to only care about the water droplets on the jade face, but it was repeated five times, and even the thin clothes on his body were all soaked in water.
"My clothes are all wet, and it's so uncomfortable to wear! Why don't you take a bare-ass bath with us! Yan Yu laughed evilly and shouted again and again.
"Isn't your hand hurting anymore?" When the two of them heard the sound, they looked at the two pairs of phoenix eyes with a threat, as if they were about to scold, but it was Xiaofei who brushed them clean and rushed over. The kid was already playful, and when he saw Yan Yu splashing water on the two of them, how could he let go of such a trickster, so he immediately threw off his arms and joined Yan Yu's position, and the two against two immediately started a war, and the river beach boiled for a while, and it was really lively. The two people on the donkey couldn't bear it, and then turned into anger and fear, hurriedly jumped off the donkey's back, hid behind the donkey, and picked up the gravel on the river beach and threw it over again and again.
On one side, water bombs splashed around, and on the other hand, stones bombarded indiscriminately, and the two sides never lost much, but the donkeys in the middle suffered a lot and complained.
A few people played with interest, and they wanted to change the battlefield, but it was a punch, and the sound of shaking mountains rose from the valley mouth, and then the sound of horses' hooves from far and near rolled up with bursts of smoke and dust, and it was passed on.
When the four of them heard this, they hurriedly stopped, and took a closer look to see that it was a group of cavalry rushing towards this side, and saw that there were about thirty or fifty people in that team.
The cavalry didn't seem very tall, but they were all swift and fierce. Holding a spear and wearing a three-color leather armor, the leader was dressed differently, wearing a cyan hood, black armor and blue robes, and there was no delay between riding horses and whips, and the kung fu he saw was in front of several people.
"Brother! This ......" Xiao Fei was slightly panicked, busily dressed up, and handed him Yanyu's robe.
"The cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who invaded the territory are all equipped with Mingguang armor, but this group of people is leather armor, and the appearance of these people does not look like the feeling of tall and big horses in the northern team, but this posture should be a regular army, and it is well-equipped, and its skills seem to be good, could it be the Tang Army...... Ay...... But how could such a murderous team be defeated by the Zhou army......" Yan Yu thought quickly while slowly putting on his Xuan clothes, and hurriedly gestured to Xiao Xi and Jie Xin, motioning for them to come over.
The two of them hid behind the donkey, how could they not panic, but at this time Yan Yu was naked, and his clothes had not been worn, but he was in a hurry, so he covered his eyes with his hands while making a gesture, and slowly leaned over, looking at Yan Yu's well-proportioned body, he naturally wanted to look at his eyes more, but his heart was different, and he still pretended to have a disgusted expression, and before he had time to be ashamed, he had already been surrounded by the group of knights.
"Who?" The knight at the head looked good, although his fair face seemed to be mixed with a hint of immaturity, but there was a heroic spirit in his gestures, and he glanced at the two men and two women, and suddenly asked.
"Ahh Southern accent! Looks like a good guess! Yan Yu's heart was relieved when he heard this, if it was really Tang Jun, Xiaoxi and they were Tang Min, and in the end they might not be embarrassed, but if it was Zhou Jun, it would take a lot of trouble, it was really tiring. So he cleared his throat and replied Xingxing: "Return to the general!" We are all the people of Huanggua Town, and we are going to go to Uncle Yukou today...... Visiting relatives, but the road was delayed, so I stopped here......"
"Oh! You are the people of Huanggua Town! If that's the case, that's the Tang people, so do you know how many puppet troops there are in the town? Seeing that it was a Tang man, the little general's face became kind, and he asked again.
"Pseudo-...... Elves? Oh! That's right! In their eyes, Zhou Jun is naturally a puppet army! Yan Yu was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly replied: "The number of puppet soldiers in the town is not large, but it is just ......"
"Just what?"
"Oh! Smell and say...... In the past few days, there is a pseudo-general, this person is named Xu Shifeng, who is patrolling Huanggua Town...... Although there are not many people he brought, they are all elite! ”
"Xu Shifeng? This rebellious minister and thief who defected to the enemy, if it weren't for him, how could we lose Chuzhou, only by cutting him with a thousand knives can we relieve the hatred in our hearts! The little general was shocked when he heard this, and said to himself indignantly, and the hatred made Yan Yu, who was originally calm, tremble. The little general said angrily to the left and right: "Why don't you just take Cucumber Town and kill that Xu Shifeng!" ”
"Temple...... Yes! Checkmate! Hearing this, he hurriedly arched his hand, and after he wanted to speak, he said: "I only have more than 50 horses, even if I capture Huanggua Town, I can't hold it, so it's really inappropriate to go to danger so lightly, it's better to wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and then make plans!" ”
"Reinforcements! Reinforcements! Chuzhou has fallen, when will reinforcements arrive! When the little general heard this, he became more and more angry, and shouted angrily, but when his brows were tightly locked, he showed the posture of a dragon and a phoenix, and then said: "Father...... Yes! The father once said that if anyone can kill this thief chief, he will be promoted to the third level immediately and crowned with martial power! Why not! ”
"General, what good is this addition to the rank and knighthood...... "The others snickered.
"Who said it was useless! As long as it is fame, how can I not want it, I just want my father to ...... Father will see, who has the real ability to defend this country......" The little general said, but his eyes were full of heroism, and then he whipped his horse, and was about to move forward indignantly.
"Your Highness? Father? also said that fame is useless, and you have to guard the country, so you can leak your mouth! Could it be that this is Li Yu of the Southern Tang Kingdom? But it doesn't look like a literati style, who dares to run back and forth on this front line with dozens of fast horses, and a person with such courage should not be in tune with that big man...... I'm in a hurry! History is not good! I can only ask for a mother! But at this time, Du Niang is still in her mother's womb, who should I ask? Never mind! Never mind! Think for yourself! That's right! In my impression, Li Yu has no other brother, and he has fought for the throne, legend has it that this person is brave and warlike, always goes to the front line to command the battle, and he personally commanded several major battles between the Southern Tang Kingdom and the surrounding countries, it seems to be called...... Li Hongji? Could it be this person? Right or wrong! The soldiers called him His Royal Highness, and he must also be Li Yu's brother! Yan Yu thought fiercely from that few words, although I don't know what kind of character the young hero in front of him is, whether it is worth talking to him more, but these days witnessing the various crimes of the Zhou army, it is natural to choose the side of the Tang army, looking at the young man's heroic posture, and the knights behind him are all brave and brave, fresh clothes and angry horses, although there are only more than fifty horsemen, the momentum is not chaotic, there is no decadence of the defeated, so his heart moved, and he instantly gave birth to some emotion, and then took pity on this little palace.
Yan Yu shook his head, thinking that the tiger talisman was not of much use in his hand, and he was still going around causing trouble, so it was better to borrow flowers to offer Buddha and be a favor, maybe they would have some more ways to deal with the enemy, so he simply shouted at the little general and stopped his steps.
"Anything else?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I delayed the general's trip, I don't want to go, I have something special, I want to give it to the general...... Maybe it can help the general! Yan said slowly, took out the tiger talisman, and showed it in front of the little general, but it caused everyone to be agitated.
"Tiger Talisman?" The little general hurriedly turned the horse's head and hurriedly took it in his hand, but at this time, Yan Yu's hand was swollen and high, and it was inevitable that he would take a second look, and then said happily: "This ...... It's a good thing, it's easy to move troops! Where did you get it from? ”
"The little general doesn't need to ask, I picked it up on the road!"
"Picked it up on the road?" When the little general heard this, how could he not look at Yanyu twice, it seemed that there was a little more respect in his eyes than just now, and then said: "I see that you have poison in your hands!" Isn't it...... Who did you provoke? ”
"Oh! No! I just accidentally touched something, so I ......"
"Childe doesn't have to hide it, the poison in you is the poison of Cangshan, if it is the poison in today, it will definitely not survive tomorrow, and I just said that I went to meet my relatives in Uncle Yukou, I think you are clearly going to Yuncang Mountain to find an antidote! And lie to me! The little general said proudly, and then shook the tiger talisman in his hand twice, and said, "It's better than this!" I have received this heavy gift from you, and naturally I have to give something back, come on! With four fast horses with them! ”
Hearing that he didn't dare to delay, he immediately led four tall military horses, Xiao Fei saw this and rushed to catch up, hurriedly took the reins of the horse from the hands of the sergeant, and made a grimace at Xiao Xi and Jiexin: "Later, you will ride a donkey, we will ride a horse, and see who arrives first!" ”
"Did I say I was going to take this horse?" Yan Yu coughed lightly and said leisurely, but his mouth was full of seriousness, not like a joke.
"Brother! This ......"
"The general is the general of the Tang State, saving Li Shu and expelling foreign enemies is also to defend the Tang State, and we, as the Tang people, not only can't help, but also occupy their military horses, do you think this is appropriate! How do I teach you on weekdays, have you read all the books in vain? Yan Yu said with a serious face.
"Oh! Brother, am I in a hurry again! Xiao Fei looked at the reins in his hand and said weakly.
"...... Ahem! Well...... It's too much of a rush again! ”
