After galloping in a hurry for three hundred miles covered with stars and moons, Xue Shao and his party finally rushed to the territory of Yanchang County, but they were already sleepy, lacking dry food, and it was raining heavily.

Everyone was miserable, and Yu Hongye was also infected with some typhoid fever, cough and fever. Just when everyone was in a hurry to enter the city to rest, the scouts who were exploring the way ahead urgently reported that Yanchang County had soldiers and horses stationed in Yanchang County, and the city was full of sentry posts and was very well guarded.

"Where?" Xue Shao's heart sank a little.

"The rain is too heavy and the sky is dark, and you can't see the other party's flag clearly when you enter!" Scout reports.

Xue Shao glanced back at Yu Hongye, Li Xianyuan and the others used a few cloaks to set up a temporary rain shelter with their bare hands, Yu Hongye was lying in it with a pale face, and his body was already wet.

Xue Shao wiped the rain from his face, "Explore again!" - Try to find out where the other person came from! ”

"Yes!" The scout rode his horse in the wind and rain. Within a few steps, the horse neighed and fell to the ground.

Xue Shao hurriedly ran over with a few people, the scout was being crushed under the horse, and his entire left leg was twisted and broken to ninety degrees, which was miserable. But he gritted his teeth fiercely, and blood came out of his mouth, but he didn't let out a cry of bitterness.

"Help!!"

Several people tried their best to move the dying war horse away from some of the physical exhaustion, and rescued the scout who was crushed underneath.

"Young marshal, subordinates are incompetent!" The scout hugged his stump and wept bitterly.

"I don't blame you, it's my fault. It's because I don't know how to cherish soldiers, and even war horses can be exhausted to death by me. Xue Shao's heart was extremely sour, "Carry him to hide from the rain, and I'll go to explore Yanchang!" ”

"Young marshal!" The people were astonished, and together they tried to dissuade them.

"Execute the order!" Xue Shao turned over and rode on Weilong and rode away.

Mei Rakshasa sat beside Yu Hongye with a scimitar, looking at Xue Shao's distant back in the rain, and smiled evilly, "What a good man, I want to give him a good son!" ”

"Save it, you!" Li Xianyuan, who was holding the cloak with both hands, sneered angrily, "Women all over the world are thinking about this matter, but few have succeeded." ”

Mei Rakshasa laughed, "Are you jealous? ”

"Can I do it?" Li Xianyuan was full of little man's eyes, and he rolled his eyes, and said curtly, "I kindly remind you that even if you give birth to a son for him, don't want to enter his door in this life." Well, even if he wants to, I'm afraid you won't be willing in the end. Because, it is difficult for you to live and get along with a royal family like Princess Taiping. And around him, there are all such relatives and friends. ”

"You're thinking too much." Mei Rakshasa smiled very calmly, "Don't forget, I am a Hu person, a Hu person from the far west region riding a war horse and carrying a scimitar. ”

"Oh, I forgot." Li Xianyuan said sarcastically, "Hu people, many people only know their mothers but don't know their fathers. ”

"Smack", Mei Rakshasa slapped Li Xianyuan's face, and asked, "Are you comfortable?" ”

"You...... How do you hit someone? Li Xianyuan held the cloak with both hands, and stared at him in a hurry, "The gentleman doesn't move...... No, the gentleman doesn't move his hands! ”

"I feel like you want to be beaten, so I'll do you!" Mei Rakshasa still laughed eating, "I said that I am a Hu person, which means that I am not like you Han women, who always want to marry a chicken and marry a dog at random, and I want to find a man to rely on and take it as my final destination all my life." I'm different, in the future if I meet a man I like, I will give him a baby. As for whether we can live together, that's another matter - do you think I want to sleep with a man when I see him? ”

"Okay...... I was wrong and I apologize. Li Xianyuan looked ashamed.

"There's one thing you wouldn't believe." Mei Rakshasa still said with a smile, "That big fat pig in Shuofang County is my first man. ”

"Huh?" Li Xianyuan was really taken aback.

"Smack", another slap in the face, "You really don't believe it!" ”

Xue Shao had been running for seven or eight miles in the heavy rain on horseback, but fortunately, Weilong's foot strength was extraordinary, and his endurance was even first-class, and he still ran very smoothly after running overnight. But at this moment, Xue Shao felt a chill and a heat on his body, and his eyes gradually became blurry. He gritted his teeth and held on, and finally could see the city of Yanchang.

As the scout had said, the rain was so heavy that there were few flags on the city that could not be seen clearly.

There was only one way left, and Xue Shao decided to take a risk.

He rode his horse to the bottom of the city, and blew the little golden horn of Yue Qi with the rhythm of Lantian secret code, sending a message - I am Tang Jun, who are you?

While blowing, Xue Shao ran at the same time.

As soon as the trumpet sounded, countless archers sprang up above the city. But immediately there was a drumbeat in response, "We are the Tang Army, which army and which government do you belong to?" ”

Xue Shao let out a long breath and stopped running, and responded with a horn - "Xue Shao." ”

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the city gate of Yanchang County was opened. A cavalry rushed out from inside, and the two leading people were as eye-catching as two iron towers, and Xue Shao heard their thunderous noise from afar, "Young marshal, where are you?!" ”

Niu Ben and Duan Feng!

Xue Shao patted his horse over, and saw that the cavalry soldiers following behind them were all very angry, so he asked in surprise: "Where did you come from so many men and horses?" ”

"Ningzhou assassin Shi Di Renjie, led the soldiers of Ding'an Mansion to ride a thousand steps, and went north to rescue the people who had taken refuge under the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion. They had just entered Yanchang yesterday, and Di Tingshi appointed Duan to temporarily command troops to guard the city pass. At present, everything in the city is safe. Duan Feng said excitedly and with relief, "Young Marshal, it's best if you're back!" ”

"Di Gong, what a living bodhisattva who saves suffering!" For a while, Xue Shao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he ran forward as soon as he reined in the horse, "Duan Feng, send someone to inform Di Gong and lead the army to stay at the city gate to prepare for the response." Ox Run, bring a hundred horsemen with me! ”

"Yes!"

Xue Shao took more than 100 riders and galloped in the rain again. When he was about to arrive at the temporary camp, he sounded the horn of the Yue cavalry from a distance, so as to prevent the two armies from being accidentally injured by indiscriminate shooting.

Li Xianyuan and the scouts heard the horn for the first time. Everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted them.

"Niu Ben, it's all my people here, there are wounded! Escort them into town immediately! Xue Shao ordered loudly, and Niu Ben immediately agreed. One hundred horsemen dismounted and stepped forward, supporting and supporting, and some of the wounded had to be carried on their backs.

Xue Shao was worried about Yu Hongye's condition, and hurriedly jumped off the horse, but his legs were weak and his feet were weak, and he fell hard in the muddy puddle, and his whole head was about to be submerged.

"Young marshal!" Everyone was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Xue Shao turned over sharply and stood up, waved his hand while spitting out the yellow muddy water in his mouth, and hurriedly walked to Yu Hongye's side.

Yu Hongye was half unconscious, his eyes were hazy and he glanced at Xue Shao, tears rolled out of his eyes, and he passed out again after calling "Childe".

"Let's go!" Xue Shao shouted loudly, "Enter the city, enter the city!" ”

"Your voice is hoarse, don't shout." Mei Rakshasa stepped forward and said.

Xue Shao turned a deaf ear to her words, and still shouted loudly before and after running. Mei Rakshasa didn't say anything more, and led the horse to follow the team slowly. Suddenly, she saw an extremely tall and even huge figure in the team, and immediately exclaimed: "Big bison?!" ”

Niu Ben, who was busy and happy, reflexively jumped up and hugged his head and scurried, "Don't hit me, don't hit me!" ”

"Big Bison, it's really you!" The rakshasa laughed loudly, threw away the knife, and ran towards the ox with bare feet.

The cow ran a few steps back to his senses, stood in the rain and looked at Mei Rakshasa in a daze, "Shi Xiaomei, are you not dead?" ”

"You're going to die!" Mei Rakshasa screamed and jumped high, hanging on Niu Ben like a little raccoon, holding Niu Ben's neck and legs around his waist.

Everyone stood in shock, including Xue Shao.

Niu Ben suddenly hugged Mei Rakshasa tightly, "What about your brother?" Where's your brother? ”

"Dead!" Mei Rakshasa hugged Niu Ben's big face and kissed him violently.

Niu Ben looked at everyone staring at him, and said very embarrassedly: "Don't kiss!" Come down, you come down! ”

"What are you afraid of!" Mei Rakshasa hugged the ox and didn't let go, "When the three of us herded sheep and fought together to disembowel the horse thief, there were no them!" ”

Xue Shao smiled and waved his hand vigorously, "Don't look at it, go quickly, enter the city!" ”

"Come down, you're down!" Niu Ben was in a hurry, and hurriedly pushed Mei Rakshasa away from his body and threw him to the ground, striding after Xue Shao.

"Big bison, you dare to hit me?" Mei Rakshasa got up from the muddy pile and scolded fiercely, but his face was smiling, "If my brother knew, he would have picked up your stinky cowhide!" ”

Niu Ben suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Mei Rakshasa , "What I want to do most now is to be beaten by him." ”

The two hugged each other and wept bitterly.

Xue Shao laughed, who wouldn't have a little bit of their own story?

The heavy rain continued to pour down, and Xue Shao and his party walked to the city of Yanchang with great difficulty like refugees.

Di Renjie personally led some soldiers to answer at the city gate in the rain, and there was no dry place on his body, and his beard was soaked.

Xue Shao saw him from afar, strode forward and bent down and bowed his hand, "Duke Di's great grace, accept Xue's worship!" ”

"Torture the lower officials!" Di Renjie hurriedly returned the salute, "Please also ask the horse to enter the city quickly, and the rest of the things will be told later!" ”

Xue Shao let out a long sigh of relief, and was just about to say "good", when suddenly his whole body became soft in front of him, and he collapsed directly into the muddy ground.

"Help!" Di Renjie shouted loudly, Duan Feng was shocked, picked up Xue Shao and ran.

Xue Shao didn't know anything, but he felt that he slept very hard this night, and he dreamed a lot. Countless faces kept shaking in front of him, and many people spoke to him but couldn't hear a word. He seemed to have returned to Luoyang, and the newly renovated Princess Taiping Mansion was almost completed. Holding Princess Ningjin Taiping and holding Qiyu, followed by Chen Xian'er and Linlang and others, they were visiting their new home with great interest.

Everything is so beautiful.

Everything is so far away.
