Liaodong, Liucheng.

It had been snowing for a whole day, and by evening it had mostly calmed down, with only a few sparse lines of snow drifting away.

The snow on the ground was knee-deep, and it creaked when walking on it.

The glow of the red fire shone through the dilapidated houses, and the sound of oil stars resounded like firecrackers.

Li Kong put his hands behind his back, standing at the door and looking at the wind sweeping outside, the expression on his face looked a little solemn, the weather was even more severe than he thought, not to mention fighting, even if he stretched out his hands, he would feel cold, not to mention holding a cold iron weapon?

However, the plan has been decided, and the four of them are also ready, so they will leave Liucheng after midnight today and go to their chosen destinations.

"General, it's getting late, let's go eat something and rest." A pro-soldier walked over and bowed his head and said.

Li Kong shook his head, letting the messy thoughts in his brain evaporate freely, and then turned around and walked towards the fire behind him.

The flames more than one meter high made people's cheeks hot, but their backs were cold under the erosion of the cold wind, which made Li Kong sigh: In the previous life, what kind of ice and fire were estimated to be scum here, this taste is really sour.

With a creak, the dilapidated door was closed, and the temperature in the room instantly rose a lot, and the howling wind blew past the edge of the house, and even if some of them penetrated through the cracks, the temperature brought up by the firelight would be strangled instantly.

On the fire, there are more than a dozen roe deer, roe deer and other game caught today, and the other rooms are similar, basically all of them are roasted now, but none of the dozens of soldiers in the room start to eat first, even if they are already swallowing saliva greedily at the moment.

Seeing this situation, Li Kong picked up a roe deer with a smile, blew it and took a bite directly from the thigh meat, and said: "Don't worry about me, you should eat, go to bed quickly after you are full, and we will leave Liucheng at that time." ”

The soldiers laughed, and with a reply, they divided the game by two, and began to eat and drink with the boiling snow water.

At the same time, about three miles from Liucheng, a heavily armed army was moving rapidly, judging by their attire, it should be a nomad from the north.

The leader was dressed in a thick mink coat, with a deerskin hat on his head, and two long velvet bands hanging down his ears, but Rao was so, and his eyebrows were frozen with a thick layer of ice ballast.

"Second brother, are we really going south?" Next to the leader, a middle-aged man about forty years old asked with a bitter face.

The leader glanced at the man next to him with a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice, "Then what do you say we are going to do?" Goguryeo is killing itself, our Heishui Yak clan can't follow them to the funeral, the weather in the north is so cold, if you don't want to go south, then take a few people to the north. ”

"I don't mean that, I just want to say that we can only go to the Tang Dynasty when we go south, or enter the Eastern Turks, what kind of virtue the Turks are, the big brother should also know, it is impossible to accept us, and even turn us all into slaves, now we have less than 10,000 people, even if we want to resist, we can't resist.

But if you go to Datang, will Datang do more than the Turks? The eldest brother refused to leave Goguryeo, and when we did this, the younger brother always felt very awkward. ”

The man's words silenced the leader, their branch can be regarded as the last root of the Black Water Sect, although there are still a few branches in the extreme north, but those few branches together do not have 5,000 people, they are all scattered tribes, so if they die, basically the Black Water Sect will completely bid farewell to the stage of history.

It's just that now Goguryeo has taken the initiative to provoke the Tang Dynasty, although the distance is far, the leader still knows that the majesty of the Tang Dynasty is definitely not something that a Goguryeo can contend with, so leaving Goguryeo is a must.

It's just that, as the man said, where do they go next? This is a very serious question.

"Hanpu, there's an old city ahead, should we go in and rest for a while?" Suddenly, a fast horse rushed over, and the man on horseback grabbed the reins of the horse less than ten meters from the leader, and asked in a loud voice.

The Old Town?

The chief's eyes lit up, and he said, "Go, check the situation in the city, and if there is no one, we will go in and rest for the night, eat something, and leave tomorrow." ”

"Command!" The man answered, turned away again, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

The leader took a deep breath, the heaviness on his face eased a lot, and said, "Everyone speed up, there is shelter from the wind and rain ahead, you can have a good rest tonight!" ”

"Roar!" Thousands of people shouted in unison, and if you listened closely, you could clearly hear some female voices in the voices.

This time, the people who came out of their Black Water Sect were all young men and young women, for the Devil Clan, their combat power was not divided into men and women, even women could ride horses and shoot arrows, wield knives and kill people, so even if there were few of them, few foreign races would go to them for trouble, because this group of people was simply a group of crazy people when they fought.

Liu Cheng looked at it from afar, looking at the towering city wall, the leader's face showed a hint of expectation, but the scouts he sent out had not yet returned, and he was completely unsure whether the city was safe or not, and he couldn't let the clansmen behind him die because of his carelessness, so he had to stop hundreds of meters outside the city.

Inside the city.

Li Kong, who was eating and drinking, suddenly moved his ears, and then quickly threw away the roe deer in his hand, grabbed the spear and stood up.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and a soldier rubbed his hands and said, "General, there is a group of people outside, it seems that it should be from the Black Water Clan, there are about seven or eight thousand people, how should we deal with it?" ”

The Hipsters? Isn't that the ancestor of the Jin people?

Li Kong was stunned for a moment, and the rest of the people quickly grabbed their weapons at this moment, and looked in the direction of the door with a vigilant face.

At this moment, Li Kong suddenly shouted angrily: "Who is outside the door." ”

As soon as the words landed, the door slammed open, and several soldiers walked in with a strangely dressed young man and threw him directly to the ground.

"General, this person should be a spy sent by the Evil Clan outside!" The lieutenant, who had first come to report, looked at the person in front of him and whispered.

Li Kong, then walked in front of the man, squatted down, looked at him coldly, and said, "What are you going to do here?" ”

"Tang people?" The man did not answer Li Kong, but looked at Li Kong and the soldiers around him in surprise, with a shocked expression.
