"Alas......"

Listening to this, Lin Mao sighed, how could he not know this? But he doesn't have that financial resources now, otherwise he would still use this time to go north to do business? Or even the things that are within the forbidden law?

At this time, the swordsman He Laojiu shouted, Lin Mao and Lu Heizi immediately looked up, and some figures appeared on the hillside not far away, in this deserted place, it is not a good sign to encounter this situation, Lin Mao squinted his eyes and looked carefully, the figure stood on the horse, about a dozen people, it is estimated that they also saw more than a dozen two-horse carriages behind Lin Mao.

He Laojiu said to Lin Mao: "Brother, hold on, we are still in the summer realm, and there will be no big incident!" ”

After letting him signal to the bearded swordsman beside him, the bearded swordsman immediately whistled, the shrill whistle quickly dispersed, and the swordsman who knew the meaning immediately took action, but after a breath, one hundred and ten swordsmen were divided into three, some of them ran to the back of the caravan under the leadership of the bearded man, in case someone sneaked up from behind and cut off the way of retreat, some of them lined up on both sides of the caravan, vigilant against the rolling hillside woodland, and the remaining thirty or forty people all came to the position of the merchant on horseback, and these men took off the long knives hanging on the saddle, And He Laojiu took four or five swordsmen to meet him and use the words of business to inquire about the news.

From beginning to end, Lin Mao stared at the hillside closely, and he didn't know if he was old, Lin Mao only felt that he was very lacking in confidence, not at all as brave as when he was young, even if he faced horse thieves and robbers, he could still hold a knife and smile.

He Laojiu and these people stopped more than 100 steps away from those unknown riders, and let the latter "Sun Shi, who straddles the wind... Slip that way? … I Jiujiang 80,000 las hanger...... "These black words floated into Lin Mao's ears one after another, but the strange thing was that those people didn't speak, which made Lin Mao very uneasy?

About a quarter and a half later, Lin Mao saw He Laojiu hugging his fists at those people, and which people actually turned their horses' heads and ran west.

Immediately a long but deep whistle came again, hearing this, the swordsmen beside Lin Mao breathed a sigh of relief, and when He Laojiu and a few people rode back to the front, Lin Mao saw that He Laojiu's sideburns were actually sweaty.

"Damn it, it's someone from the border army!" He Laojiu scolded in a low voice.

"Frontier Army?" Lu Heizi also looked surprised, this place is still hundreds of miles away from the Xia border, how did those border troops come here.

He Laojiu picked up the wine bag and poured it, and said: "Brother Lin, I'm afraid it's not so easy for us to go to the business house, the border army can be under martial law here, it seems that the rumors of chaos in the north are true, otherwise the army over there would not put the scouts in such a deep place in the inner realm, it will be in Lincheng, some people say that those barbarians are very hungry, and if they can't keep it, they will sneak into our territory to loot, at first we didn't believe it, but looking at the current situation, it's hard to say... Alas... The way of this dog's day..."

The border army that continued to search westward to prevent the barbarian cavalry from stealing into the Xia Realm was the Liaoyuan Army under the Northern Army, and this time the Liaoyuan Army found that some tribes close to the Xia Realm could not stand the hunger and scuffle, so they secretly sneaked into the Xia Realm to loot and save their lives.

More than a month ago, part of the military fort set up by the border army suffered an unknown attack, and some of the tunhu who escaped the catastrophe were told that it was done by a group of barbarian stragglers, so the Liaoyuan army sent more than a dozen scout teams to trace and catch the traces, and two battalions of 1,000 iron cavalry followed to slaughter this foreign straggler.

The cavalry that Lin Mao and others encountered was one of the scout battalions, belonging to the Liaoyuan wolf battalion, the leader of the Zhou surnamed Du Bo squinted his eyes at this time, that touch of fine light was like a wolf in the dark night, three days ago, this Zhou Du Bo chased along the Erdaohe Fort in the south of Liaoyuan to the ground of Bei'an, but the barbarians were like going to the sky, and suddenly disappeared.

Heading west to an inner lake, Zhang Dubo saw the banner of the Liaoyuan Army's Eagle Battalion erected on the mountain beam in the distance, and there was already a cloud of smoke and dust drifting towards them not far away.

The cavalry beside Zhang Dubo said: "Zhang Tou, the Eagle Battalion was not ordered to investigate and chase to the southeast, how did you run to the range of our Wolf Battalion, do you want me to go back and inform our general?" ”

"No, look at the situation, I always feel that something is wrong? It is impossible for a 100-person rider to suddenly disappear without a trace! ”

Zhang Dubo squinted his eyes, the eagle battalion flag on the mountain beam was as blue as the sky, and the goshawk embroidered in the middle of the flag fluttered and flew in the wind, as if he was alive, trying his best to fly into the endless sky.

"Driving... Drive..."

Hurried shouting, heavy horsewhips, drifting in the increasingly lonely and cold world, starting from Beizhenbao, following the route given by the supervision camp, Lin Xiu chased all the way to the boundary of Bei'an, and still did not catch up with Lin Mao's caravan, which made Lin Xiu more and more uneasy. There are avenues and trails from Bei'an to the north of the summer realm, and at that time, if Lin Xiu wants to catch up with Lin Mao's caravan again, it will be difficult.

Galloping all the way for four or five hours, Lin Xiu rested for a while under the forest next to a hillside, when Lin Xiu was eating dry cakes to fill his hunger, a burst of shouts spread from the west, Lin Xiu swallowed the dry cakes in a mess, let the horse lead to the water rock more than a dozen steps away, and tied the horse pronely, while he climbed the old tree not far away, looking through the branches.

Lin Xiu looked closely, the smoke and dust were billowing in the distance, there seemed to be a hundred people riding, the first ten gray leather armored cavalry led in front, and in the blink of an eye, those cavalry bypassed the hillside where Lin Xiu was, because these cavalry were slightly dazzling in the direction of the setting sun, so these horsemen did not pay attention to the figure on the old tree in the forest next to the hillside, and Lin Xiu saw that among the first few horses, one of them was particularly protruding, his horse was long and tall, obviously several points larger than the horse next to him, and his horse neck also hung a silver hard bow, It was twice the size of an ordinary hard bow, reflecting the afterglow of the sun, and the bow reflected a dazzling light, which made Lin Xiu dazzle for a while.

In the blink of an eye, the riders were already speeding east along the trail marks of the hillside, leaving behind a thick cloud of smoke.

Lin Xiu came down from the tree, looking at the disappeared backs of those people, for some reason, he actually gave birth to an unease that could not be dissipated, when he was studying in the academy, the martial artist of the academy said that the northern cavalry of the Xia Realm is mostly equipped with Mingguang armor and Dawan horses as the standard, but among those riders, only a dozen or so horses are Dawan horses, and the others are other horse species, if they look good, they should be grassland horses, and they are covered with leather armor, which makes people puzzled, how can there be such a strange team of hundreds of people in the summer realm.

However, seeing the sunset and the temperature getting cooler, Lin Xiu didn't dare to delay any longer, he had to hurry as soon as possible, catch up with the caravan before Lin Mao's caravan left the Bei'an area, and persuade his father to go back.
