Heavy snow poured down all over the sky. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBetween the ups and downs of the mountains, the wind and snow are mixed together, confusing the boundary between heaven and earth, and also confusing the vision of pedestrians on snowy nights.

Qin Lei and his guards left the Jingshan camp in the morning, and drove for a day in the wind and snow, and when it was completely dark, that is, they had traveled a little more than forty miles, and there was still more than half a distance from Aijiadu.

The bitter north wind was blowing more and more fiercely. Shen Qing, who temporarily returned to the captain of Qin Leiwei, came up and said hoarsely: "Lord Wang, we can't go anymore, we have to find a place to shelter from the wind and snow......"

Qin Lei nodded, and the team walked towards the leeward col on the side of the road. As soon as I turned the mountain beam, the wind was much lighter. I heard the guards come to report that a mountain temple was found in front, and the black-clothed guards were going to clean it out and use it as a temporary residence for the prince. Although there is a sleeping bag to keep out the cold and not be invaded by wind and snow, it is not as comfortable as sleeping in the house.

Qin Lei and Shen Qing walked side by side, but before they saw the temple, they heard the sound of the blades coming out of the sheath. I saw Yu Qian returning from the front of the horse, and arched his hand: "Report to the prince, the brothers have a conflict with some men in strong clothes. The situation is unknown, and the arrows were not fired at will, and those people have now been forced into the temple. Please stop for the time being, so as not to fall into the ambush of the gangsters. ”

Qin Lei shook his horsewhip and said indifferently: "We came here temporarily, and those people are not Kong Ming, they just didn't intend to run into them." Shen Qing on the side listened to it and said to Yu Qian: "Talk to the characters inside, don't do it if you can be reasonable." Yu Qian gave up his horse and led the way.

After a long while, Yu Qian turned back and reported respectfully: "The people inside promised to give up half of the hall and invite the prince to go in and rest." ”

Qin Lei nodded, beat his horse and turned the mountain road, and saw a large-scale temple crappy at the foot of the mountain, the black hole could not see the appearance clearly, but it felt dilapidated, and the age was really old.

This temple has been surrounded by three layers of black-armored cavalry, when Qin Lei crossed the doorway, passed through the front yard, and entered the main hall, he saw a huge temple, for a god holding a two-edged three-pointed knife, tall and mighty, with a blue face and fangs, the north wind blew on the broken window lattice, making a whining strange cry, adding a bit of hideous atmosphere to this hall.

In addition to the black-clothed guards who were cleaning up in the main hall, there were about twenty or thirty men in strong suits in a circle, and the two sides were bounded by gods and statues, and they did not interfere with each other. Those men had already lit a few fires, and while baking dry food, they looked at Qin Lei and the others who entered from the door vigilantly.

Qin Lei arched his hand at those men and said with a gentle smile: "Give up half of the ground to more of you, and if you are offended, brothers, please do more Haihan." ”

Those men all looked at one of the men with stubble on his face, only to see the man get up and arch his hand: "This official is invited, and peace is precious when he goes out, and he forgets a little quarrel in a blink of an eye." Please stay, anyway, there are few of us, and it is still warm when crowded. He reminded him: "There is firewood in the backyard, water in the tank, and rice and noodles, but you shouldn't need it." ”

At this time, in some ownerless houses that can be used for travelers to live temporarily, there will always be large piles of firewood, full tanks of water, maybe some rice noodles, and even salt. These things are also ownerless, and anyone who travels to and from overnight can use them, and it doesn't matter if they run out. But before leaving the next day, you have to chop some firewood, fetch some water, and make up as much as you need. No one knows who was the first to pick up the water or chop the wood, but people followed the custom as a matter of course.

Qin Lei laughed and said, "That brother is better to be respectful, thank you." He bowed his hand to the man again, and sat down cross-legged on the old bearskin mattress laid by the black-clothed guard. The guards did their own duties, and after a while, several fires also rose here, Qin Lei took off the big puff wet from the wind and snow, and Shen Qing took it and put it by the fire to bake.

Qin Lei himself also gathered by the fire to keep warm, and gradually his hands and feet regained their vitality, and their ears and eyes became clear again. He gently stirred the bonfire with a thin dry twig while looking coldly at the men opposite. Though they were dressed in different attire, they were all of great physique, and although their blades were crossed by their knees and their bows were placed at their sides, they were fearless and laughing freely, and they were obviously accustomed to the wind and waves, and they were cautious but fearless.

After the guards boiled the water and prepared the paste, Qin Lei ordered to send it to the brothers stationed outside the hall first, and he noticed that the men on the opposite side had a stagnant expression. At this time, Shen Qing leaned over and said softly: "Lord Wang, those people's war horses have the mark of the Broken Army on their hooves. ”

Qin Lei nodded slightly, and said softly: "I know, I told the brothers to strengthen their vigilance and be ready to take people at any time." Shen Qing took the order.

At this time, the bearded man on the opposite side came and went to Qin Lei, just in time to meet his eyes, Qin Lei raised the delicate flat wine pot in his hand and gave the man a glass. The man also raised a wine bag, exchanged respects with Qin Lei, and lowered his head in contemplation after taking a sip.

Qin Lei sat quietly by the fire, until Shen Qing nodded at him at the door, and then said aloud to the man: "The long night is long and I have no intention of sleeping, why don't my friends come to drink and chat together." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a slight commotion on the other side, and the bearded man shook his head slightly, stopping the movements of the others, and got up with a long smile and said, "I can't ask for it." As he spoke, he picked up a bulging wine bag and walked towards Qin Lei. Someone wanted to get up and follow, and the man laughed and said, "The big official only invited me alone, what are you doing with it?" ”

Qin Lei couldn't help but be impressed by the man's ease and ease, and laughed loudly: "Joy and joy together, come over together." When everyone heard this, they all wanted to get up, but they were glared at by the man and scolded in a low voice: "Are you going to the market?" He ordered two random companions and left the rest of them where they were.

When the three of them came, the black-clothed guard gave way and asked them to sit down. The three of them saluted Qin Lei again, and then sat by the fire.

The bearded man sat down beside Qin Lei, put the wine bag in front of Qin Lei, and laughed loudly, "Drink spirits in the middle of winter, the villain, this is the high-grade old roast burned by the immortals in the old store in the capital, and the immortals are heartburn and lungs when they drink it, but they are the most cold and warm up." It's just that I don't know if the big officials can get used to it? ”

As soon as Qin Lei beckoned, the guard put a larger skin bag in front of the two of them. Qin Lei said with a smile: "This is the Han family's homemade dew drop wine, and the strong man also tastes it." The two looked at each other and smiled, each picked up the other's wine bag, poured a full bowl, touched each other, and drank it all.

Qin Lei drank the old burn that was said to be heartburn and lungs of immortals, and felt warm all over his body, his face was also ruddy, and he sighed comfortably and said, "It is indeed good wine." ”

And the cheeky man was so happy, a bowl of wine was down, his face was first white, then red, sweating profusely, and his eyes were red. The two companions on the side were about to have a seizure, but they heard him howl and say, "Comfortable!" Comfortable! Drink countless springs in China, and today you know the taste of wine! As he spoke, he poured half a bowl from his bag, sipping lightly, looking extremely intoxicated.

The two companions were relieved at this time, and glanced at the wine bag with some greed, but they couldn't help but take it.

Qin Lei glanced at the cheeky man in slight surprise, and couldn't help but praise: "Brother Tai has a good amount of wine." "In order to suppress this man, he asked Qin Wei to bring the 'wine dew' produced in the wine workshop of the Invalides Farm. As the name suggests, this is distilled with strong liquor and distiller's grains, and its drip is taken in a vessel. The resulting liquor is as clear as water, with a very strong flavor and a dew of wine.

This 'wine dew' is extremely strong, and if you smell it with a poor amount of wine, you will be a little dizzy, and you will get drunk after tasting it. Even if the army is a good drinker, he can't drink three or five taels, and it will be ugly, so Qin Lei strictly forbade the army to drink 'wine dew', which is only used as a good medicine for wound disinfection.

But this man is obviously the marshal of the wine country, although his face is red and his ears are red, but the hand holding the bowl does not tremble, and his mind is still clear, except that his tongue is a little bigger: "No...... Where is the big official Xiansang, where are you going to go on business? ”

Qin Lei smiled and said: "I am a member of the Zhongdu clan, and I have been working in other places all the year round, so I want to go back to Beijing for the New Year." After speaking, he also asked: "I don't know where a few strong men are in the immortal township?" Where are you going to get rich? ”

The bearded eyes were a little confused, and he smiled: "We are also from Kyoto, but we can't get along in Beijing, so we want to go to Shanbei to join friends." ”

Qin Lei let out an 'oh' and said with a smile: "I don't know what my brother does for a living?" It always seems that it is inseparable from the four industries of the 'Dart Guard'. "A soldier is a soldier, a dart is a dart board, a guard is a guard, and a gang is a gang. Although the people of Daqin are fierce, and the people carry swords and swords when they go out, there is still a big difference between them and these four types of people who beg for a living with knives.

The man drank all the wine in the bowl, and said with a deep smile: "The big officials are aware of everything, we are from some Qiu Ba, and now we are going to Jiangbeiwei to do things." ”

Qin Lei sighed when he heard this: "Brother man, how can he go to that pickled place? Isn't it a pearl secretly cast, it's a pity for you heroes in Wuhan. When the two companions heard this, their expressions were sad, and they looked like they had been poked in the sore spot.

The cheeky man put down the wine bowl and hissed: "The Ming people don't say dark words, the brothers were originally from the forbidden army, and they were all officers, and they were not inferior to any of their colleagues in terms of bravery and strategy, but they were kicked out of the army because of the exclusion of the officials. But the family always has to feed, and there is nothing else to do, so I have to go to my cousin in Shanbei first, so that I can eat together. ”

Qin Lei groaned: "The villain often makes the hero short of breath!" The cheeky man's eyes turned red when he heard this, and tears almost rolled down his eyes. Busy hiding his head and pouring a bowl of wine, he tilted his neck and poured it, so he wiped the corners of his eyes by wiping his mouth.

Squeezed his eyes hard, feeling that there were no tears of shame, and the man with cheeks said astringently: "Creation is destined, but it is a pity to play tricks." ”

Qin Lei saw that he was depressed, and comforted him unhurriedly: "It's not completely bad, after all, General Shanbei is also a general, so he can be regarded as moving to the right." As he spoke, he poured a bowl of wine for the cheeked man, picked up the bowl himself, and said with a smile: "Xiao He, brother Gaosheng." ”

The cheeky man held the wine poured by Qin Lei, his face was embarrassed, and he whispered, "I'm going to be a captain." ”

Qin Lei asked in surprise, "What rank did my brother originally have?" ”

The bearded man said with shame on his face: "It was originally a school captain." I felt that it was really shameless like this, and I wanted to take a sip of wine to soothe it, but I was choked and coughed, and it took a long time to calm down and say: "Tiger falls in Pingyang, what can I do?" ”

Qin Lei's face was full of worthlessness and said: "A soldier can be killed but not humiliated, how can a brother suffer such humiliation?" Tell me who your last name is, brother, and I'll show you a place to go. ”

The beard's eyes lit up at first, then dimmed, and he said softly: "The big official said that it is the Jingshan Camp of His Royal Highness the King of Longwei County?" ”

Qin Lei nodded, and said in a vague tone: "That's a good place to go." "Although the guards changed their winter clothes at the end of October, lined with heavy leather jackets, covered with dense chain mail, and their helmets were replaced with jumpsuits that could protect their necks, and they also wore dogskin hats inside, the unchanged black tones and the hundred refining Tang knives in each person's hands could still make it easy for people to recognize their identities.

The man shook his head and sighed: "Thank you for the goodwill of the big official, the villain has long admired the prestige of the king of Longwei County, if he can be under his command, it is indeed a great blessing in life." It's just that the villain is not blessed. ”

Qin Lei smiled: "Why not? ”

The bearded man didn't want to talk anymore, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the wine, my brother is too strong to drink, and he is very tired, but he is going to be rude to go back to rest." As he spoke, he put his right hand on the ground and wanted to get up.

But he didn't want the 'wine dew' to have great stamina, he just raised his body, his right hand lost his strength, and he sat on the ground again, and suddenly there was a white sweat in his head.

Qin Lei laughed and said, "It seems that heaven will let my brother stay for a while." The two guards wanted to step forward to help the man, but they were held down by several black-clothed guards, and when they were about to struggle, the long knife was on the neck.

The group of men on the other side, when they saw the sudden attack here, they couldn't help but be surprised, and they were about to get up to rescue, but they were suddenly dizzy, their hands and feet were weak, and their blades and crossbows crackled and fell to the ground, and they couldn't stand steadily. In the blink of an eye, countless black-clothed guards poured out from all directions, surrounding them, and all of them were tied up.

The bearded man's eyes were about to split, and his eyes were blood-red: "Why did you harm me?" But in his heart, he was scolding himself, three bowls of cats urinated, and he had no brains, knowing that these people were the prince's subordinates, but he still poured beans into a bamboo tube and asked what to say.

Qin Lei still smiled gently: "Why are you chasing and killing me?" Chang Yi Chang Adult? ”

The bearded man was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "But you recognized it." ”

Qin Lei smiled faintly: "Although there are many captains in the forbidden army, you are the only one who has been deposed recently and is so good at drinking. ”

The bearded man sighed, "I didn't expect your army to investigate me so carefully. "It's tantamount to acquiescing in one's own identity. He is Chang Yi Chang Yunqu, the leading captain of the Broken Army who was once ordered to hunt down Qin Lei in Shannan, but deliberately released the water after understanding the identity of the other party.

But Qin Lei only knew that he had chased and killed him, and left two hundred black-armored cavalry in Shannan forever, but he didn't know about his mercy.

With a swipe on the ground, he pulled out the sword at his waist and threw it in front of him, Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "For the regular lieutenant who is almost forced to a dead end, the lonely king naturally has to pay more attention. ”

Hearing Qin Lei's words, Chang Yi was surprised: "You are His Royal Highness the King of Weilong County?" How could you rush on this stormy and snowy night? In his cognition, the nobles of Tianhuang are all extremely delicate, and they should hide in the warm pavilion of Ruchun and chant poems against each other, but they are only the senior generals of the Jingshan Battalion, but they don't think higher.

looked up at the legendary prince again, but was held down by the black-clothed guard, and no matter how he struggled, he couldn't move.

Qin Lei pouted and smiled: "If you don't know the Lone King, you dare to chase and kill me regardless of life or death, haven't you thought about the consequences?" ”

"Wang Ye Rongyu, the last general followed the previous general Li Kejian to the south, and the order only said that he would go to Shannan to suppress bandits, but did not say that he would deal with Wang Ye......"

Qin Lei frowned and said, "If you don't tell the truth when you die, the Lone King still thinks that you are a downright man." As he spoke, he got up and approached Chang Yi and asked, "You have been chasing after the Lone King's ass for nearly two days, can't you see that you are chasing Daqin's cavalry?" He said in a sour tone: "Is your eyes too bad, or is the Lone King's ability too low?" ”

Chang Yunqu suddenly sweated like pulp, and his heart was pounding violently, which he couldn't explain, because he did chase after Qin Lei's team all night after knowing that it was Qin Lei's team, which caused the death of the more than 200 black-armored cavalrymen.

Qin Lei pulled out his sword with a sigh, threw it in front of Chang Yi, and said coldly: "There is no reason to cut yourself, you are a Great Qin soldier, and you should not be humiliated." ”
