Scarface waved his hand impatiently, "Enough, Wang Kui, you're talking too much." ”

Wang Kui paused, sat down slowly, looked at the bonfire in front of him and fell into deep thought.

At this time, the four Warat warriors who had dispersed returned one after another, carrying roe deer, hares and other prey in their hands, and they had a lot of harvest.

After a while, the smell of barbecue came from the fire.

Zhu Qiming was very uncomfortable with this kind of barbaric killing and vulgar way of eating, and although the taste of hunger was unpleasant, he still did not have a strong appetite.

Seeing that Wang Kui didn't want to pay attention to himself anymore, he simply lay down on the snow again, thinking far away.

The images of his father, his mother, and his grandmother came to mind one by one, and tears rolled in his eyes, but he desperately restrained himself and didn't let the tears fall.

He remembered his father's teaching: in this world, the royal family has received the most, so the precepts should be the strictest, and the royal family must always remember the demeanor of the royal family.

Not crying in front of thieves to show weakness is also a demeanor.

Scarface handed over a skewer of barbecue, and Zhu Qiming turned his head again, he couldn't tell whether it was out of disdain for vulgarity or out of resistance to arrogance.

"You don't have to keep your life, you become sick when you are hungry, and you can only be thrown to the hungry wolf!" As soon as the words fell, the barbecue fell into Scarface's mouth. ”

Wang Kui shook his head, swept away a patch of snow around the bonfire, exposed the dead grass, covered his coat, and then lifted Zhu Qiming up and threw it on it.

Zhu Qiming glared at Wang Kui fiercely, and said secretly: Traitor! Don't expect me to be grateful to you.

He turned to his side, silently urging himself to fall asleep, or the feeling of hunger would make him endure the pain of the night.

However, how can the grandly royal clan be reduced to the point of being in the company of thieves, the gap from heaven to hell, such a situation makes him sleep peacefully?

What's more, this place is far away from Warat and separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, I don't know when the days of hiding in Tibet will come to an end, how can he deal with it calmly?

Maybe there will never be an end, waking up tomorrow morning and walking out of this forest, just for the next trip to drift; Venture into another forest in the evening just for the next barbecue.

He was cranky, and gradually became sleepy, Fang closed his eyes, but was awakened by a commotion.

The five Warat warriors stood there with swords in hand, and the bonfire reflected the murderous intent in their eyes. Following their gaze, there were more than a dozen unkempt and ragged men standing in the distance.

The dozen or so people ignored the glittering scimitar, and just stared at the roast meat on the fire, swallowing their saliva one after another, their eyes flashing with greed.

With a roar, more than a dozen figures frantically pounced on the fire like hungry beasts.

The killing happened in just a moment, when the Warat warrior wiped the blood stains on the knife on the snow, Zhu Qiming slowly got up and looked at the more than ten corpses on the ground, he had no fear, no discomfort that caused nausea and vomiting, some were just shocked.

"Alas! They are the hungry people in the neighborhood, and there will be thousands of hungry people in the mountains and forests along the way. Wang Kui's eyes showed a faint sense of compassion.

It turned out that they were the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they died of hunger and food! Zhu Qiming felt sad, and after the sadness, he was confused.

He has grown so big, he has left the Yue Wang's Mansion only a handful of times, and every time he goes out of the palace, the scope of his activities is limited to the imperial city, and what he sees and hears is a scene of prosperity and peace, how have he ever seen such a human tragedy in front of him?

It seems that the bustling capital and the imperial city where the princes and princes gather cover up too much suffering in the world!

"There will be a large group of women and children behind this group of men, no, don't leave your mouth alive!" Scarface raised his knife and said murderously.

Zhu Qiming rushed forward and grabbed the hem of Scarface's clothes, "Don't kill them!" ”

Scarface pushed Zhu Qiming to the ground and looked at him in a daze, as if he was distinguishing whether this shout was a roar or a pleading.

"Without men, those women and children can't get out of this mountain forest, let them fend for themselves, if there are too many things, I am afraid of alarming other hungry people." Wang Kui said.

Scarface picked up the knife, obviously agreeing with Wang Kui's suggestion. "Put out the fire!"

Everyone hurriedly took off the barbecue, extinguished the three bonfires, and lifted the snow to cover the charcoal fire.

It was pitch black all around, and the wind was digging into his pants, and the cold was biting.

"This God, yesterday the sky was still clear, but today I turned my face, I couldn't see my five fingers, I really don't give face!" Wang Kui shuddered.

At this time, there seemed to be a flash of fire in front of him, and if you look at the distance, it should be less than a mile away.

Scarface orders everyone to bend down and not make a sound.

The light of the fire was getting closer and closer, and at last it was clear that it was a group of soldiers with torches in their hands walking towards this side, counting the number of people, no less than twenty.

"It's my Ming soldier!" Zhu Qiming said with joy in his heart.

To his disappointment, however, the group of soldiers turned to the right three or four feet away from them.

"The amount of alcohol in Sheng Qianhu is really scary! At the beginning of Duhai, I still refused to disperse, no, I was tired of eating ordinary dishes, and I wanted us to go to the game, which caused us to drink cold wind in the deep mountains and old forests. One soldier complained.

"You know what! The distinguished guests at today's banquet have a lot of origins, and it is said that they are thousands of households in the capital. "Another humane.

"Regardless of his thousands of households, if he can't catch the roe deer hare tonight, don't think about going back!" Another humane.

······

Seeing that the team of soldiers was about to go away, Zhu Qiming didn't want to let the opportunity for help slip away in vain, he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly felt a stone under him and threw it out.

"Who?" All the soldiers turned around in unison, set up their positions, and waited.

With a light sound of breaking through the air, two Warat warriors flew forward.

The group of soldiers reacted very quickly, and in the midst of lightning and thunder, ten pairs of strong bows and crossbows scattered a rain of arrows.

There's a play! Zhu Qiming was so excited that he almost screamed.

In terms of experience in meeting the enemy, this group of soldiers is much stronger than those Jinyi guard captains.

The two Warat warriors quickly retreated, one of them looking at his right arm by the glimmer of the torches.

He had just cleared a few arrows, but he was still bruised by the last but most powerful arrow.

A top master was injured by a soldier, which shows that the rumor that the so-called training function has been practiced to the point of invulnerability is pure nonsense! In reality, no matter how high the martial arts are, they must be carried by the body, and the iron armor will also be shot through, not to mention the flesh and skin! It's just that a person with high martial arts skills is fast, powerful, and skillful, and it is difficult for ordinary people to hurt him.

The key here is the conversion relationship between quantity and quality, the martial arts are low, but the number of people is large, and the division of labor between each other is clear, and the tacit understanding can naturally form a geometric multiplication effect of lethality.

Seeing that his companion was injured, Scarface whispered, "Who are they?" ”

"It's not far from the town border, and it must be the defenders of the city." Wang Kui said.

"I've never seen such a strong Ming army."

"The defenders here are recruited troops, far from being comparable to those soldiers in Tuntian."

The Ming Dynasty implemented the world soldier system, the so-called world soldier system, as the name suggests, is the military household system in which the male members of the family have been soldiers for generations. The military households mainly came from the "conscription army" that followed Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising, the "attached army" after the secession forces of the Yuan Dynasty and the end of the Yuan Dynasty were reduced to the Ming Dynasty, the "grace army" that was assigned for crimes, and the "Duoji army" that suppressed the enlistment of civilian households. These soldiers take the guard post as a unit, and spend three minutes defending the city and seven minutes tuntian on weekdays, and the source of soldiers is not selective, so the combat effectiveness is not strong.

The town border city is the gateway to the Beijing division in the north, in order to prevent the Tatars from being deeply invaded, three years ago, the five military governors of the government strongly recruited the people, and stationed a group of more than 10,000 elite soldiers in the town border city. However, the military needs of the army recruitment are very huge, and Emperor Xuande is only allowed to recruit 3,000 people, which is the only army recruited by the Ming Dynasty.

The conscription is carefully selected, and there is no need to camp in the field, and it can be trained every day, so the martial arts and tactical literacy are far superior to the world soldiers.

At this time, one of the soldiers shouted: "It's a Tartar!" Be careful, don't let them go, otherwise, many innocent people will lose their names. ”

Looking at this group of brave soldiers, Zhu Qiming felt sincerely proud, and swept away the frustration brought to him by the brocade guard.

Scarface summoned his companions to whisper, and then flew around the side of the Ming army with two of them, while the other two rushed forward.

Wang Kui drew his sword and hesitated.

Zhu Qiming only felt that his heart was tight, and he was about to open his mouth to report the news, but the battle had reached a white-hot level, and everything was too late.

One of the two Warat warriors who attacked head-on landed with an arrow, and one was wounded in the left arm by a halberd. However, the three people behind the flanks made the hidden weapon take down more than half of the soldiers, and the Warat warriors took the opportunity to bully forward, and the remaining soldiers immediately fell behind.

Seeing the last soldier die under the scar-faced knife, Zhu Qiming's heart was dripping blood, and a childish man actually felt the taste of tragedy and self-blame.

The Waratites returned, and all five of them were painted, and one of them was shot in the left chest and was wounded not lightly. The look of indesserability on their faces was gone, replaced by a deep sense of loneliness.

A Warat warrior raised his sword and pounced on Zhu Qiming, and Wang Kui immediately blocked him with his sword.

Wang Kui glared at Scarface, and said in a deep voice: "You have to keep your promise!" ”

Scarface glared at Zhu Qiming viciously, then waved his hand to signal the Warat warrior to stand back.

"Brother Wang Kui, the Ming army in the border city of the town is strong, and the Jinyi Guard is also here, you have to take us to a safe place."

"This place should not stay for a long time, we should stay away from the border city of the town and hide in Zhuolu Mountain." Wang Kui said.

At that moment, the people of Warat spent half an hour parting to heal their wounds. The man who had been shot by the arrow was able to walk with the team after a long period of hard work with his companions.

At dawn, the group came to Zhuolu Mountain. When going up the mountain, Scarface was very cautious and ordered everyone not to leave any traces.

The crowd dived into a pit in a mountain bag.

Deep in the jungle and surrounded by snow-capped trees, this pit is a great place to hide.

Zhu Qiming lay beside Wang Kui, only feeling hungry and cold, and his whole body was weak.

He put his hands on the ground and tried to sit up, but he couldn't, and after a whirlwind, he fell to the ground.

At this time, there was a faint call in the distance, and everyone pricked up their ears and listened intently.

"Your Royal Highness!"

Zhu Qiming struggled to stand up, looking through the gap in the snow tree and looking in the direction where the sound came from.

Gradually, more than a dozen figures appeared on the opposite hill.

"Your Royal Highness!"

What a familiar voice, what a familiar figure!

It's the Yue Wangfu guard!

After a short period of excitement, Zhu Qiming silently lowered his head. He really didn't want to cry out for help, causing these guards to lose their lives in vain.

"Your Royal Highness!"

This call was full of internal force, and the snow on the trees fell in a flutter.

Master! Zhu Qiming raised his eyes again.

Sure enough, it's Lianggang!

There is a master, and I am afraid of what these thieves will do!

Zhu Qiming's blood was full of blood, trembling all over, and his mouth opened wide with excitement, and just when he was about to open his mouth to respond, he suddenly felt that his body was numb, and the whole person immediately collapsed.

The moment before he fell to the ground, he glanced at Scarface's hideous face, and the cry stuck in his throat turned into a long breath and slowly spit it out.

"Did you find any suspicious traces?" Liang Gang's inquiry drifted over.

"Nope." A jumble of responses rang out not far away.

Footsteps sounded, followed by loud shouts, only to grow farther and farther away, and finally disappeared far, far away.

Zhu Qiming's heart seemed to follow Liang Gang closely, he was already unconscious, and soon fell asleep.

When he woke up, he found that the acupuncture points he had been restrained had been unlocked, but he was unable to move his body.

Cold, incredibly cold! After a violent tremor, he calmed down.

The body seemed to merge with the earth, and the blood was about to freeze. In the fog, the more than twenty warriors who had died in the line of duty seemed to be walking slowly towards him.

"This kid can't do it, he won't survive tonight." Scarface shook his head coldly.

Wang Kui squatted down and handed a piece of dried meat to Zhu Qiming's hand.

What a spicy irony to survive or to perhaps, depending only on a piece of dried meat!

With all his strength, he finally grabbed the piece of dried meat, and brought it to his mouth with a shudder.

The humiliation tore at his heart, and in a moment, he was in tears.
