When the sky was slightly bright, it began to rain, after the sleepless night, the silence and sadness continued until dawn, for last night's encounter, most people were reluctant to mention it, after the day's dawn, the rain was even greater, and the rest of the team took this opportunity to hide under the hills and forests, and the wolves who distributed dry food rode into the hands of the old and weak, and the faint cry of holding the food came from the crowd.

Droplets of water fell from the tips of the leaves, and on the hillside, behind the windswept rocks, a small bonfire was burning, a girl wrapped in a big coat fell asleep under the crevices of the rocks, several men in leather jackets, roasting jerky, and chewing dry food gathered around the fire, and the one-armed figure sitting cross-legged next to him turned his head.

“…… There is one more place that is most critical at the moment. ”

He glanced at the man with a bun on the other side, swept several faces around him, and the branch in his hand wrote some words on the ground, "Right now, Shanggu County can't go, Kebineng's forces are around, and the other party won't watch more than a thousand of us pass, but if we can take a risk, we will go to Jundu Mountain, which is the boundary where Han people are the majority, which means that everyone is safe...... Can ......"

The words did not speak, but they stopped again, Hua Xiong, Cao Chun and others beside the fire frowned, looked over, and the stout man twisted a branch and said in a low voice: "If you have anything to say, just say it, swallow and spit out, but be happy!" ”

Over there, when Gongsun Zhi looked over, Dongfang Sheng sighed, crossed out the handwriting on the ground, and threw away the branches, "...... Youzhou Mu Liu Yu is a royal family relative, he is honest and generous, but he has always been kind to Xianbei and Wuhuan, but he has a gap with the father of the big leader, and the other party may not easily let me wait for Jundu Mountain, after all, we have been killing Xianbei people......"

"Kill a few Xianbei people, are we still wrong?" Hua Xiong threw away the branch, widened his eyes and slapped his thigh, "Wouldn't it be enough to bypass Shanggu County and go directly over Jundu Mountain?" Why bother with him as an old man. ”

Cao Chun next to him shook his head: "It's a small matter to climb the mountain, the scholar's words, you didn't hear it, even if we cross the Jundu Mountain, Liu Youzhou will not let us continue to walk, not to mention that we still have so many old and weak women and children, it is too difficult for them to cross the mountains and mountains." ”

As he spoke, the rain rustled through the forest, the girl writhed twice wrapped in a big hat, dreaming of vague words, and the white wolf not far away was closing his eyes, occasionally shaking his ears slightly, and someone said this by the campfire.

"We are Han Chinese...... among the several people, a young man named Yan Rou chewed on the jerky, raised his gaze, rolled his Adam's apple, and repeated: "...... We are Han Chinese...... There's no way he can't leave it alone. ”

The scholar lowered his eyes, looked at the flickering firelight, remained motionless, and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "It doesn't matter, you won't know until you really go that far." ”

"It doesn't matter if we don't really care...... But those old people, women and children, he should always take care of them. Yan Rou was still full of hope after all, after all, along the way, from not wanting to be with this group of horse thieves, to seeing the ferocity of the Xianbei people, he had to pick up a knife and gun, he looked at the fire and whispered: "...... Liu Zhoumu is a good person, he will accept these people. ”

Everyone said a lot, and there was nothing to discuss at this time, looking at the man who had been silent, Dongfang Sheng spoke: "Chief, we can't just wait for General Baima to come and answer, we should prepare some other back roads." ”

Carrying the direction of the girl, Gongsun Zhi threw the broken branch into the fire, he was already thinking about other ways back when everyone was talking, at this time everyone's eyes looked over, he took a piece of baked hot rice cake and broke it in half and handed it to the scholar, while chewing in his mouth, he said: "Don't go to Jundu Mountain, go up directly, go east after passing the water, and enter the realm of Wuhuan, which is also what I discussed with Gao Sheng before, and it can't be staggered." ”

There was a pause in chewing, and then he spoke again.

"As for the other back road, it is to cross the military capital mountain, and at that time, we can only hope that Liu Yu will let go of our hands and let us pass......"

The words came to an end in this way, and after a while of heavy rain, it gradually subsided, and the overnight rush made everyone hurry up and rest in a short, rare time, and more than a thousand people would let out a heavy breath on the wet ground.

Gongsun Zhi didn't feel sleepy, because he needed to stare at the phantom map all the time, if the red dot of the Xianbei people appeared, he could know it as soon as possible, and notify it. Sitting on the rocks, looking at the gray sky outside the trees, a bird appeared after the rain, standing on the branches and combing its feathers, and behind it there was the sound of footsteps, and a figure sat down beside it.

"There should have been a third way before the chief, you didn't say ......" The scholar turned his head to look at the man's side face.

As he spoke, the birds chirped and flew away from the treetops.

Gongsun Zhi nodded.

"Climb the South China Mountains, cross Laishui and Wuruan Pass, and enter Zhongshan Country to find the Montenegrin Army...... It's just that the old and weak women and children in the team don't know if they can hold on, after all, this mountain road is not as easy to walk as Jundu Mountain, and it is summer at this time, and poisonous snakes and poisonous insects are prevalent in the mountains, and many people will probably die. ”

The scholar clenched his fists and took a deep breath, "...... But that's a way to live. ”

More than half a month after he said this, some things quietly changed......

……

The rain went to the right of Beiping.

In the light rain, the sky is dark, the caravans lining up at the city gate waiting to enter the city to rest, this place is the place of the white horse grandson, most of the soldiers guarding the city gate are injured and retired to arrange to do things here, but the inventory is mostly strict.

The horses' hooves splashed from far and near, and several knights with wet jackets and sloppy beards directly crossed the caravan, and some people muttered: "These are barbarians...... swaggered to Youbeiping, looking for the dead. He also stepped forward to stop him in a hurry, but the man at the head glared angrily and shrank back.

The soldiers guarding the city gate saw the rear several horses galloping over, and there were already bows and arrows on the city tower aimed downward, and a soldier stepped forward with a ge, "What person, dismount!" ”

The bald man led by several horsemen, Le Ma looked at the name of the city on the city gate, and couldn't help but breathe, and hurried for days, plus it rained heavily for a few days on the way, and when he arrived here, he looked very haggard, and his tone was anxious, but he was also angry.

"I am the confidant of your eldest son, this is the token of General Gongsun's family, you can submit it quickly, I will wait for General Gongsun to summon me here."

The token was thrown over, and the soldier over there took it in his hand, glanced at it vigilantly, and nodded: "You wait here, don't walk around." ”

On horseback, high rose and tumbled down, arching hands.

After a long time, the token was handed over layer by layer, and Shi Guanjing, the head of the Gongsun Mansion, naturally knew about it, but it didn't take long for someone to quietly summon him, and his heart suddenly tightened.
