Chapter Twenty-Three: A Thief's Heart Is Hard to Die

He Chen decided to rectify Dengjia Village for the time being, so that the soldiers could rest well, and at the same time, he sent Deng Zhi to take a few vigorous clansmen, together with Hou Xun, into more than ten teams, and went out to inquire about the news in all directions, among which Deng Zhi had a clansman named Deng Long who aroused He Chen's interest, I don't know if Gan Ning cut that guy later? Deng Long, this guy is powerful, and he has an extraordinary hunting fork in his hand, and the three or five big men are not his opponents, He Chen intends to accept him as a subordinate, and it is no problem to be a team leader or something, but this guy is very happy.

At this time, the sky is bright, the sun is in the sky, the fog has already been blown away, revealing the verdant mountains and lush forests, coupled with the fresh air mixed with plants and trees, and the charming fragrance of flowers wafts from time to time, which makes people feel a hundred times more energetic and relaxed.

The small village is in full swing, after a few days of wet weather, some weapons have become rusty and passivated, and dozens of soldiers are at the village gate to hurry up and polish it, so that it has become new sharp. The women of the village also came out to help, sewing up the broken leather armor and repairing it stitch by stitch.

On the slopes of distant mountains, Dian Wei, who was idle and panicked, was carrying an iron halberd all over the mountain to drive away beasts, and from time to time there was a hearty laughter, which was obviously a great gain.

He Chen sat under a big locust tree in the village household, quietly distracted.

The trunk of this locust tree is thick and thick, rising from the ground, and it takes two people to hold hands to embrace it. According to legend, when Deng Zhizu moved here, he stood here, and after hundreds of years of wind and frost, he was still tall and tenacious. Countless branches stretched out in the air, countless leaves sprouted green buds, from time to time a bird flew into the air, chirping gently, and even a cheerful bird sprinkled a piece of and fell on He Chen's armor, he was completely unconscious.

He Chen has a headache now, the plan is always unable to catch up with the rapid changes, and the retreat that he discussed with Xun You and Tian Feng before is not needed at all now. Where are you headed? Where is the way out? For this matter, He Chen was very troubled, I don't know how many cells died, but he still had no clue.

At this moment, He Chen only hoped that Deng Zhi, who had gone out to explore the way, could bring some good news.

But unfortunately, the first bad news came about Yan Ming and Yu She. The two generals led hundreds of people to drive horses along the official road all the way, and then were intercepted by Xu Rong checkpoint, and in the struggle to break through, Yan Ming's whereabouts were unknown, and Yu Shi was seriously injured and captured. Hundreds of soldiers were killed or wounded. Immediately afterwards, it was reported that Wen Ping came out of Yuyuan Pass, He Man's Dang Tianzhen won three games in a row, and the left wing of Xu Rong who was killed could not be defeated, only because the Chinese army came up later, Wen Ping and He Man held on for two days, and they had no patience and few generals, so they could only retreat to Yuyuan Pass.

Just when He Chen was depressed, bad news came one after another, Dong Zhuo had sent the general Guo Yan to lead the troops on the way back to Kyoto. A thousand soldiers from Yang Ding, who was too guarded by Michi, poured out of the nest and rushed straight to Yongning, wanting to build an iron network on the road from Luoyang to Yuyuan Pass, and all of them were blocked.

It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Deng Zhi came back with a major news.

Under the Tiger Prison Pass, the coalition army was defeated and retreated fifty miles, Lu Bu beheaded the famous generals Fang Yue, Mu Shun, and injured Wu Anguo in Hebei Guandong, and defeated Gongsun Zhan, if it were not for Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, the three generals were to defeat Lu Bu, but they were afraid that the coalition army would be defeated in a battle. After that, Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's words, closed himself off, strictly guarded to the death, consumed the enemy's military rations, slackened his military morale, and prepared to fight a protracted war.

After He Chen heard the news, he was greatly excited, Lu Bu was defeated, Dong Zhuo soon began to move the capital to Chang'an, and the encirclement of himself would inevitably be withdrawn at that time. It's just that He Chen hasn't been happy for long, Deng Zhi threw out another bombshell and said: "Lord, my subordinates just came back and found that many Dong Zhuo soldiers were searching along the mountain......

"Oh no, at least thousands of Dong Zhuo's soldiers have entered the mountain from the south." Before Deng Zhi's words were finished, Deng Long jumped and jumped from the mountainside path, shouting from afar, and his skills were extremely dexterous.

Everyone's faces changed greatly, and Deng Zhi jumped to his feet again and again: "Dengjia Village is located between the corners of the mountains, the location is extremely hidden, there are few people in normal times, it must be that the general accidentally exposed his whereabouts when he came, you must know that the Xiliang cavalry can be good at fighting, but also because of the perennial contact with Zhu Rong, the surname of the war horse Xi is very familiar, and all of them can be called tracking masters." The general should quickly lead his troops out of this place, and it will be dangerous at night. ”

At this time, He Chen calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "Then in Bo Miao's opinion, what should I do now?" ”

Deng Zhi calmly analyzed: "This road in the southwest is the direction where the enemy is coming, let it go." Niujiawan in the southeast is an important town of soldiers through Sanmenxia, the mountain is high and handsome, and there is only one sheep intestine trail, in the meantime, the camp is high, the earthen city is full of tiles, avoid it. Now only Qingping Peak still has a glimmer of life, the general hides in the mountains, and only when the wind dissipates and the army retreats can he go out of the mountain. ”

Qingping Mountain? At the foot of the mountain? Zhang Jibing? Wai Luo Cang? He Chen's eyes suddenly burned with a dazzling light, and a sky-high battle intent soared into the sky, and a bold and crazy idea slowly emerged in his mind.

Deng Zhi was taken aback by He Chen's hideous and terrifying expression, and took a few steps back.

He Chen retracted his expression and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Liao, Xu Huang listens to the order." ”

"Whoa." The two generals responded with a bang.

"Immediately organize the military horses and set off for Qingping Peak in half an hour." He Chen's face was cold.

"Order." The two generals did not hesitate to take the order to retreat.

Watching the two of them stride away, He Chen turned around and said with a worried expression: "If our army leaves, how will your people be?" ”

Deng Zhi smiled proudly, and said with a somewhat mysterious face: "Now that the soldiers are in a panic, there must always be some way to defend themselves, the village has already dug up the secret cellar to hide, and after Dong Zhuojun has searched for a few days, it will disperse by itself." At that time, the subordinate people moved to Nanyang and returned to their hometown. ”

He Chen smiled reassuringly: "This is very good." ”

At this time, Deng Long trotted all the way over, and his face was already a little sweaty.

He Chen asked, "Xiang Fei, do you still remember entering the Qingping Peak Mountain Road?" ”

Deng Long was obviously stunned, panting, and said in great surprise: "The lord is going to Qingping Peak?" This mountain road is hard to find, the birds are extinct, and there is a poisonous miasma, and if you are not careful, it will be a situation where the corpse will be destroyed and people will die, but the lord can think clearly? ”

He Chen didn't think about it, and said with a resolute face: "Hugh has to ask more, you just have to lead the way." ”

Deng Long looked at He Chen's resolute and unquestionable expression, and the surname Suo also put his heart sideways, secretly thinking about success and taking it carefully, seeking wealth and danger, the lord and nobleman are not afraid at all for the state pastor, what are you afraid of?

"Then the lord will wait a moment, and his subordinates will prepare some things." Deng Long said.

He Chen nodded and said, "Hurry up." ”

Qingping Peak, is the remnant vein of Bear's Ears Mountain, located in the ring of mountains, thousands of meters above sea level, there is a flow of Yishui on one side. Qingping Peak is completely different from the surrounding mountains and mountains, Zhong Xiu's aura is mountains, but it is gray with red mountain soil, growing all black pressed vegetation, showing a dull and dead air.

Under the leadership of Deng Long, on a sheep intestine trail that is hardly a mountain road, there is a knife-like cliff on one side, Wanda Abyss on the other, and the wet soil under his feet, and the weeds and dead leaves are piled up a foot high. There was a strong smell of corpse decay all around, and everyone in Kaoru was dizzy and nauseous and wanted to vomit.

Fortunately, Deng Long prepared some medicinal wine and insect medicine, either smelling or sprinkling, so that the soldiers could reply some.

He Chen had a strange feeling, this smell was very similar to the smell of sulfur, could it be that this mountain is a mine?

A huge jungle of shrubs appeared in front of him, without exception, all black vegetation, which made He Chen very surprised.

This is Deng Long stopped, his face was solemn, his heart was palpitating, and he turned around and said to He Chen cautiously: "Lord, this is a poisonous bush forest, the snakes, insects and centipedes in it are huge, and the poisonous surname is extremely strong. ”

He Chen nodded solemnly and said, "Can you get around here?" ”

Deng Long smiled bitterly: "The right is a deep ravine, and if you fall, you will be crushed." The mountain wall on the left side is steep, and unless there is a rope on the top of the mountain, there is no other way. ”

He Chen looked up at the smooth stone wall on the side, turned back to Zhang Liao and said, "Pass the order, be more careful." ”

I don't know if He Chen's pig horn aura is invincible, or if he is lucky, he actually came down safely all the way, just when He Chen wondered if he was a lucky star, Deng Long wiped a cold sweat and said: "Fortunately, this is the day of thirty years, and the snakes and insects have not come out of the hole, otherwise it will be troublesome." ”

He Chen Muran, it turned out that Bai was proud.

Just when everyone was relieved, a poignant and arrogant voice suddenly came from the front, the sound was like crying blood, and the wolf howl resounded through the mountains and forests.

Almost at the same time, the continuous wolf howls echoed each other.

Deng Long's face turned blue in an instant, and he took two steps back, almost colliding with He Chen, and then exclaimed, "It's not good, this is a silver wolf pack." ”

He Chen was curious: "Could it be that this wolf is anything special?" Otherwise, even if there are wolves, they are not my heroic soldiers. ”

"The lord doesn't know, silver wolves are not usually rare, and the number is not huge, but the terrible thing is that this wolf pack has a very high IQ, three or four ordinary silver wolves, you can beat an adult tiger to death, this is what the old man in the village has seen with his own eyes. Legend has it that in every silver wolf pack, there is a wolf who leads the entire wolf pack, which is the silver wolf of the howling moon. This wolf is tall, strong as a calf, claws like a blade, the whole body is silver-white, the pearl is red like blood, the steps are like the wind, it is said to travel thousands of miles, its power is no less than that of the tiger and the lion, dominating the mountains and forests. ”

A strange feeling suddenly appeared in He Chen's mind, at this time, he was like the feeling of exploring the secret realm holy land in the Qunying series and harvesting the beast mount, silver wolf = scale armor war wolf? He Chen drew a big equal sign + question mark in his mind.

If the system really had this in this world......

He Chen's eyes suddenly burst into a hot and greedy gaze, which could almost melt the entire mountain.
