Chapter Forty-Eight: A Broken Leg

On the land of Guanzhong, under the illumination of the sunset in the west, the sky is also inlaid with gold edges. Burning clouds flickered and swayed in the sky, and weary birds on the earth returned to their nests. In the field at sunset, wisps of cooking smoke rose, and the faint smoke beckoned the peasants who had worked in the fields for a day, dragging their tired bodies and looking forward to the harvest, and they first chatted and turned back to the distant village.

Li Wan led the soldiers to run rapidly on this field, the iron armor on his body was heavy like a mountain, they were fully armed, they were practicing, the ten kilometers distance was just a cup of tea on weekdays, but now it was so long, measuring this land with his own legs, it was really not an easy thing. Sweat flowed down the cheeks of Li Kuan and the group of soldiers behind him, and the yellow dust raised behind him was like a yellow dragon covering the sky, rising and covering this piece of heaven.

"Speed up, there's still a little distance to go!" Li Kuan cheered up the soldiers as he ran, and the camp was already in sight in the distance, which was a piece of land on the edge of Bashui outside Chang'an City, where the newly completed wolf riding camp stood in a green willow forest by the mountains and rivers. The clear river water flowing slowly around the river, the rice paddies along the river, and the shallow river beach are really a great place to go.

The soldiers bought their footsteps, and the rumbling footsteps sounded like a prehistoric tyrannosaurus rex, and the earth trembled when they stepped on it. A dark black torrent flooded the camp. The banner of the wolf warrior rode fluttering above the camp, and the word "Chu" flew on the banner, representing the identity of the leader of this army, while on the other flag, a blue wolf howling at the moon was lifelike. The pattern of two halberds crossed is under the limbs of this wolf. Hold it up. This is the banner of the wolf warrior rider, and it is also the soul of this army. It symbolizes the blue wolf hidden under the off-road, and will pounce from the shadows at any time to bite the enemy's neck.

The night was getting darker. The remnant sun of the sky was also suppressed by the pitch-black sky, leaving only stars that were not fried eyes stubbornly sprinkled all over the night sky. There is no moon tonight, only a sky full of bright stars. Li Kuan rode a horse, followed by a few soldiers, who had to patrol the camp in the middle of the night, and Li Kuan still needed to be on duty like ordinary soldiers even if he was the main general. This is also a feature of the Wolf Warrior Rider, in addition to giving orders on the battlefield, the main general will always run at the forefront and carry the most weight in training. One of the most trained. Because only by leading by example in this way can this group of howling guys be brought together and form a truly invincible and invincible force. Although Li Kuan has never been a soldier, he has watched countless dramas, what kind of hand-to-hand devils, these were the objects of his contempt, but now that he has seen that manpower can really reach the kind of situation in the drama, he has to admire those screenwriters, all of whom are talents who have studied hard! In this era, Wei Chi Gong and Cheng Biting Jin can really tear people apart!

The water flows slowly. Reflecting the stars in the sky, patrolling was a simple matter in this night when only the sound of wind and insects was left. In addition to the sound of the armor on their bodies, the only thing left for the group was the sound of footsteps.

It looks like another quiet night! Li Kuan thought so in his heart. Then he was ready to take the soldiers around the camp again and go back to rest. But at this moment, a dog barked from the distant village, and then countless voices came. This village was not very far from Li Kuan's camp, on this flat Guanzhong Plain. There is also a little contact with each other. Hearing such a sound at this time, Li Kuan suddenly felt that something had happened. This made his heart, which had been dull for two months, begin to feel a little excited.

It has been two or three months since I returned to Chang'an City, and at first Datang was still celebrating the plague in Tuyuhun, and then the alien races around became cautious and no longer knocked so frequently. This qiē is advancing in accordance with Li Er's script, and the people of the Tang Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment, a prosperous scene. It's just that the role of the army is much smaller, because the army doesn't have to take care of public security, and if there is no war against the army, it will only be idle. Fortunately, most of the troops of the Tang Dynasty are government soldiers, and they can go home to farm, which is easy to do except for the border army. Otherwise, those Zi Wenchen will shout again with swords and soldiers to enter the warehouse, and the horses will be released in Nanshan.

However, the Sixteen Guards stationed in Gyeonggi became the target of countless Wenchen attacks, because these sixteen teams had only one role, that is, to protect the capital. Now that it was a peaceful and prosperous world, those Wenchen felt that these armies were wasting national funds, so they asked the Sixteen Guards to reduce their troops, or simply dismantle a few establishments. This qiē battle made the relationship between Wenchen and the military generals become delicate, in order to increase the weight of their own side, so one by one the military generals tried their best to pull people into the gang, Li Kuan naturally couldn't run away, and he didn't hear about the threshold of his new home all day long, and he was almost broken by someone. So he had to use the excuse of military training to come to the edge of this Bashui and stay for two months.

Although they train every day, they are all big men in the army, and this kind of life is really boring and tight, and there is such a little wind and grass tonight, which makes Li Kuan and them excited, maybe this is a good fun or not!

So they squatted on the side of the road outside the camp and looked in that direction to see the excitement. I saw that the voices of people were getting louder and louder in that direction, and gradually torches appeared, illuminating the field over there, but they could only see a little bit of light from a distance, and they couldn't see what was going on. There was also a sound of barking dogs, which were raised by the villagers to take care of the dogs, and of course, it was indispensable to go to the mountains to pick up two hares or something.

Li Kuan and they looked very strong, although they didn't know what was going on, but there were a lot of torches on the opposite side, forming a long dragon, like a winding dragon swaying in the field, it was very spectacular, Li Kuan even wanted to climb the watchtower on the edge of the camp to see, condescending should see more clearly. But just as he was about to act, a muffled snort came from the willow grove on the side, which alerted him.

"Who's there? Come out! Li Kuan shook his spear and leaned in that direction, seeing his movements, the group of soldiers who were patrolling together also turned their heads to look in that direction.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, it's me, Nalan Yingde!" A voice came from the willow forest.

"It turned out to be you kid, why did you come to the edge of the water in the middle of the night to do something?" Li Kuan heard this voice and said, this guy is indeed Nalan Yingde, but he doesn't deal with Li Kuan very much, not that he has the courage to fight against Li Kuan, but the person behind him doesn't deal with Li Kuan.

This guy is the maiden nephew of Hou Junji's wife, that is, the cousin of Hou Li'er, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. This guy has no other skills, but he is a good hand at slapping horses, but this guy has been married to Li Chengqian for less than half a year, and this guy has already become a close confidant around Li Chengqian. usually followed Li Chengqian's side, knowing that his big backer was really not very friendly to Li Kuan, the king of Chu, so he couldn't help but be a little estranged from Li Kuan.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, what you said, I also have a reason!" Nalan Yingde complained bitterly, how could he be discovered, if this group of big-headed soldiers really came in, then it would be over, himself and the person behind him, if this matter spreads, it will be the laughing stock of the entire Tang Dynasty. At that time, even if I apologize for my sins with death, I am afraid that it will harm my family, is it really too late to regret it now? Or do you want to carry it yourself? But in that case, my family may lose the opportunity to enter the noble class! After thinking about it, this guy had a horizontal heart: no matter what, the lesser of two evils! But let's take care of it, at least then the two of them should take care of their family! Fortunately, the person has left just now, and even if he is exposed, he will be a meritorious hero!

Li Kuan didn't know what Nalan Yingde on the other side was thinking, he walked in with the soldiers, and at the same time lit the torches. When I got closer, I found that Nalan Yingde was not the only one here, but there were several people. There was a person lying on the ground, and two people were busy making a stretcher, and Nalan Yingde was resting on the side, it seemed that this group of people had been attacked by something, and they were resting here at this time. Seeing Li Kuan and them coming in, this guy hurriedly got up and saluted Li Kuan.

"Nalan boy, why do you look like a dead mother? Crying with a sad face! "Because this guy is Li Chengqian's person, Li Kuan thinks it's very strange, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? And the village on the other side seems to have something wrong, it can't be these guys' doing, right?

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu...... Nalan Yingde didn't know what to say about this ......, and he couldn't make up a decent excuse for a while, and he couldn't say anything worth saying.

"General, the people on the other side have come to our side for help!" At this moment, Hong Li ran from the direction of the camp, and the soldiers of the entire camp were awakened, and then assembled in the school field, outside the gate of the camp, a group of people were surrounding there, and they had come to ask for help.

"O General! Please let the old man call the shots! Pity our family Ah Hua, I was broken by this group of hateful thieves, this is the time when the farm is busy, what can I do! An old man saw the soldiers coming over with Li Kuan in their arms, and hurriedly stepped forward to cry. It seems that there is a great grievance and they have to wait for the big lord of Qingtian to come to redress their grievances.

"This old man, hurry up and speak! What the hell is going on, you tell Ben in detail! "Because of their proximity, the farmers in these villages got along well with the soldiers in the barracks for the past two months, and although most of them could not be named, they were still very close.

"General, those thieves, they fell in love with my Ah Hua and wanted to rob it, but they never thought that they would be discovered, and they also broke my Ah Hua's leg because they saw it!" The old man cried very terrifyingly, Li Kuan can be regarded as seeing that the old men in Guanzhong not only shed blood without saying a word, but also have the ability to shed tears.
