Saying that Yan Feng and his party, thousands of people, set off from Yuhang, all the way north, the goal is directly to Suiyang, but the road is far away, Yan Feng estimated it, according to this speed, the fastest will be a month's trip, considering the foot strength of the foot soldiers, Yan Feng handed over the patrol battalion where the two thousand foot soldiers were to the deputy general, and slowly marched, with eight hundred Xuanjia and Qin Wei and others, day and night, rushed to Suiyang.

In the first few days, the lord of Ningshu obviously failed to adapt to the life of staying on horseback for a long time, and vomited in less than half a day, but fortunately Xiaoxiao was diagnosed and treated, and he could barely ride on the horse, but he galloped like this, coupled with the loss of his loved ones, his mind was depressed, and after a few days, his face was much thinner and haggard, and the person also became less talkative from the previous playful and lively.

Yan Feng had already noticed it, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to reduce his horse speed when the county lord was nauseous and uncomfortable, and tightly protect her on his chest, how could the county lord Ning Shu not notice Yan Feng's concern, but her heart was too sad, so she didn't have time to take care of these, every time she thought of her father's voice, and when she thought of her father's indulgence in her naughty nonsense, two lines of tears slid down her little face again, and she couldn't help but get closer to Yan Feng's arms. Thousands of miles of march, although it is inevitable to sleep in the open along the way, but there is a medical fairy heir Xiaoxiao girl personally conditioned by the line of qi to protect each other, the army is also physically exhausted, so hungry and thirsty all the way forward, everyone out of the Jiangnan border, into Huainan Road, this official road with their families, all the way to flee the people seem to be more, there are many people, walking and walking, they fainted on the side of the road, can no longer wake up, the relatives around them have to lie on the corpse and cry, intentionally pull some weeds to cover, and continue to walk towards Yuhang without looking back.

Since the day of Yuhang's departure, it has been nearly ten days of travel, along the way, all eyes are full of refugees who died of illness and hunger, at the beginning, Xiaoxiao will jump off the horse to check these corpses, to see if they can be healed one or two, but several treatments, none of the corpses on both sides of the road can open their eyes again. After several times, Xiaoxiao also gave up the inspection, stayed on the horse silently, bowed her head and walked forward without saying a word. Qin Wei raised his eyes and looked around, the farmland on both sides of the official road was overgrown with weeds, and he was starving, and he couldn't help but sigh in his chest, this war together, the people were not able to make a living, the people were displaced, although Huainan Road had not yet been affected, but it had still become such a scene, and half of the rivers and mountains north of Suiyang were already mourning all over the field at this moment, Qin Wei thought about it, clenched the bridle in his hand, the reins creaked, and Qin Wei's heart was even more desolate.

Due to the critical situation at the moment, there were no horses to change at the post stations along the way, coupled with the military crisis, they arrived at the post station and rested hastily, and the horses could not recover their strength and set off in a hurry. On this day, coming out of the previous post station, they had been galloping for most of the day, and the people could hold on, but the horses seemed to be unbearable, and they were all depressed, no matter how the soldiers shouted and controlled, they could not lift their spirits, and for a time, the speed of the march plummeted.

Yan Feng saw that the usually well-trained war horses were so tired, and knew that it was the limit, when even if he taught the sergeant to dismount and unsaddle, and camped not far from the side of the road to rest, because there were no post stations and villages around, there was nowhere to find grain and grass, so he had to move the military horses to the barren fields and gnaw weeds to feed his stomach.

At night, the army set up a simple camp with their weapons and shields, and then set up several fires, and ate dry food around the fires, which was used to replenish their strength. Yan Feng saw that the county lord of Ningshu was leaning weakly on his shoulder, closed his eyes tightly, frowned, and immediately felt a pain in his heart, picked up the water bladder, and wanted to feed her a few sips of water, but heard her mutter: "Yan Feng, cold." Hearing this, Yan Feng hurriedly wrapped the county lord's much thinner body with the cloak behind him and protected it tightly in his arms.

Seeing this, Xiaoxiao was also helpless, she was doing what she could do to save people's lives, but the county lord's appearance was completely caused by her depression and not entering the water and rice, and she was helpless, seeing Yan Feng tightly protecting the county lord in her arms, she suddenly felt a little strange in her heart, she had never felt before, for a while, she also wanted to imitate what the county lord said, but when she hugged her shoulders, she found that she was not cold at all, especially after wearing the golden silk soft armor, it was extremely warm. Immediately fiddled with the bonfire in front of him with the wooden stick in his hand, and looked at Qin Wei, who was silent, opposite with anger. Although Xiaoxiao didn't know why she was a little angry.

Seeing that the bonfire was not prosperous, Chuan Bao unscrewed the blue gourd on his waist and poured some strong liquor on the fire, the flames that were not prosperous suddenly jumped several feet high, startling Xiaoxiao on the side, and hurriedly pushed Chuan Bao, wanting to complain a few words, but his eyes were attracted by the gourd in Chuan Bao's hand, and he was surprised: "This thing can actually hold wine?" Hearing this, Chuan Bao said with a smile: "Yes, I only found out a few days ago, I inadvertently pulled the dragon claw of the silver dragon on the gourd, only to find that this gourd can be unscrewed, Xiaoxiao girl, do you know what this thing is made of?" As he spoke, he put the gourd in front of Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao wanted to pick it up and examine it carefully, but he didn't expect this seemingly light gourd to be so heavy, Xiaoxiao held it with both hands and used the strength to eat milk, only to lift a few inches, and it couldn't be supported in a moment, Chuan Bao saw this and hurriedly took it back, and began to show Xiaoxiao the mechanism of the silver dragon. Seeing Chuan Bao lifting so lightly, Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh.

Bai Yu saw that Chuanbao's wine gourd was also a thing containing organs, so he became interested, leaned over and asked, "Brother Yan, this thing is also so exquisitely designed!" Look at mine again! As he spoke, he took out the bamboo in his bag, pulled the bamboo leaves, and the bamboo opened in response, revealing the nameless thin sword inside, Bai Yu immediately took out the thin sword, got up and danced a few moves under the moon, and then the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he signaled to Chuan Bao, "Go Brother Yan, pass two moves"

"Willing to accompany" Chuan Bao also moved, followed Bai Yu to a slightly open flat land, stood not far opposite Bai Yu, hooked the gourd with one hand, carried it behind his back, and said to Bai Yu with a smile in his eyes: "Brother Bai, be careful, don't blame me for breaking your baby, I'm here!" Immediately, he rushed towards Bai Yu, and the gourd in his hand smashed down from above

Bai Yu knew the weight of Chuanbao's gourd, and when he saw Chuanbao making such a move, he smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Yan, don't show mercy at all!" Immediately, his figure flashed, and he wanted to dodge Chuan Bao's thunder blow from one side, but Chuan Bao smiled, and changed his moves halfway, and the gourd actually went to Bai Yu, Bai Yu saw this, the secret path was not good, the thin sword in his hand was blocked in front of his chest, only to hear the sound of "ding", between the lightning and stone fire, Bai Yu Chuan Bao took a few steps back, Bai Yu hurriedly looked at the thin sword in his hand, and found that it was as good as ever, he breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed: "So hard, good sword, good sword" At this time, Haitang spoke on the side: "Bai Gongzi, this sword is far more than just hard."

When Bai Yu heard this, he carefully examined this sword, and had some doubts in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Miss Begonia knows this sword?" Haitang smiled: "That's not true, but didn't Gongzi find out that this sword is wielded, and there is another wonder." ”

Bai Yu tried to wave, "It's very light" and still looked at Begonia with a puzzled expression

Seeing this, Haitang covered his mouth and smiled: "Bai Gongzi waved a few more times"

When Bai Yu heard this, he waved it a few more times, but there was still nothing else but lightness. Seeing this, Chuan Bao felt that something seemed to be wrong, but he couldn't say where.

"Didn't Bai Gongzi notice that this sword was waved without the slightest sound?"

"Huh?" Bai Yu hurriedly waved a few times, and found that there was not the slightest sound of breaking the sky!

Haitang continued: "The reason why those martial arts masters can predict the opponent's moves and techniques, in addition to having a lot of study of the world's martial arts, they also know how to use the direction and size of the sound to judge where the opponent's attack comes from, Bai Gongzi's silent sword is a peerless treasure for assassins walking in the night" Saying this, Haitang suddenly stopped, suddenly felt that he had said more, and hurriedly looked at Chuan Bao, who was dazed, and Bai Yu, who was staring at the sword dumbfounded, saw that the two were not suspicious, and their hearts were relieved. Busy said: "Childe doesn't know what this sword is?" Why don't you give this piece a name."

Bai Yu frowned and looked at the thin sword in his hand, he didn't know what name to give it for a while, and for a while all kinds of sword names flooded his mind, and he didn't know which one to choose, and he looked at Chuan Bao for help, Chuan Bao hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't look at me, I don't know a few big characters, Brother Bai still thinks about it himself" and then turned his head back to the fire with the gourd.

For a while, there were only Bai Yu and Begonia left, seeing Bai Yu so entangled, Begonia thought about it and said: "Since this thing is hidden in the bamboo branches, it is better to call it a bamboo branch."

When Bai Yu heard this, he suddenly felt good, "Well, it's quite poetic, bamboo branches, the name is good, and the sword is good, it's really good." Immediately swept away his sadness, pulled up the begonia and wanted to go to the fire.

This is the first time that Bai Yu took the initiative to grab Haitang's hand, but Haitang gently broke free and said: "Bai Gongzi will go back first, I still want to stay here for a while"

Bai Yu saw that Begonia was so strange, but he didn't think much about it, "Then come over early, rest early, and I'll have to hurry tomorrow." ”

"Hmm" Haitang replied lightly, then turned away and no longer looked at Bai Yu

After a while, knowing that the person behind him had left, Begonia couldn't help but raise her face, but a crystal tear in the corner of her eye was not suppressed after all, and slipped quietly.

With the same surname Bai, a similar face, a similar tone, and similar words, "Could it be that God took pity on me and sent you back to me" In his mind, the past gradually became clear. That year, she met him in the rain, saw the book bag toppling, the books were scattered, soaked in mud, he had a high fever, I don't know, she took him back to his home, took care of him, he woke up, the first thing was to ask his name, "bamboo branches, the name is good, the person is good, it's really good" she listened, smiled gently, and later, she and he fell in love with each other, and finally one night, the two lingered several times, looking at the bed a little red, he vowed to get fame to marry her, she cried with joy. On that day, he was in high school, happy to go home, but on the way was killed by a traitor, his head was different, that day, her wedding dress was like fire, holding her lover's head, came to the turbulent river, with a smile in the corner of her eyes, and jumped down.

I thought that I would fall into hell forever with the person I loved, and go to Huangquan together, but I never expected that I would wake up, thinking of this, Begonia was unwilling to continue to remember, and shook his head violently, as if he wanted to squeeze the memories out of his mind. For a while, tears in his eyes couldn't stop pouring out.

"Bai Lang, is he you, is it you" Begonia couldn't help but stretch out his hands to the night sky, as if to hold something, under the night sky, the wind rose in an instant, blowing Begonia sleeves flying.

"...... Shirarou"

Saying that, Chuan Bao returned to the bonfire, saw that everyone had fallen asleep, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly took out a swarthy stone from the package on the saddle, sat down and rummaged around, and after a while, Bai Yu would also go to the bonfire, see the shape of Chuan Bao, and whispered: "Brother Yan, don't you think this thing is also a thing of the mechanism?" ”

"Yes," judging by the characteristics of the gourd and your rapier, the stone should also have a mechanism in it, "immediately knock here, press there, but the stone is still like a dead thing, and nothing happens."

"Brother Yan rest early, I'll go to sleep" Bai Yu felt a wave of sleepiness coming, so he lay down by the fire, stretched his waist, and fell asleep after a while.

Chuan Bao added some hay and firewood to the bonfire, and lay down on the spot, looking at the night sky full of stars, a sense of sleepiness came to his heart, and he was really tired for several days, and he was really tired at this time, and immediately closed his eyes, and gradually sank into sleep, and in his dream, he saw Aunt Yan and himself when he was a child, eating hot buns, and shouting his mother one by one. In the blink of an eye, it was the master who took out a hot chicken from the blackened ground and handed it to himself. Suddenly, a sound of Jin Ge remembered, Chuan Bao was busy parrying and dodging, but suddenly woke up, it was already daylight, the bonfire had been extinguished, and there was a little light smoke, and the soldiers not far away put away their weapons, and the sound of Jin Ge from the collision turned out that the army was ready to pull out.

Looking at the tired Begonia, thinking of her abnormal behavior last night, Bai Yu couldn't help but be a little worried, and wanted to ask, but when Begonia saw him, he rushed over and hugged Bai Yu's arm again, and was coquettish, and for a while, Bai Yu felt a big headache again.

Qin Wei held the spear inserted in the ground, felt the coldness coming from the gun, sighed, and felt a sense of desolation in his heart. Seeing this, Xiaoxiao quietly leaned over, secretly pulled out a silver needle, and stabbed him lightly in the thigh while Qin Wei was not paying attention. I found that he didn't react, "Is the skin too thick?" Immediately, he stabbed it again, and seeing that Qin Wei still had no reaction, there was a trace of anger in his heart, and he stomped his feet and said, "Hey, don't you know that it hurts?" Or don't you want to pay attention to me" Qin Wei was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the silver needle in Xiaoxiao's hand, he understood, so he had to smile bitterly: "After sitting all night, my legs are numb"

"Humph!" After Xiaoxiao heard this, she stomped her feet again angrily and turned her head to find her horse.

Qin Wei was stunned again, and said in his heart: "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong, could it be that I didn't do anything wrong?" Gradually, the numbness in his legs dissipated, but the place where he had been pierced by the silver needle was faintly painful.

It is a few days, the army marched all the way along the official road, trekked through mountains and rivers, to the boundary of the county, not far from Lingchang City, the army thought that they could finally enter the city to have a good rest, and waited to go outside the Lingchang City, but found that the Lingchang City suspension bridge was erected high, the city gate was closed, only to see the people under the city, scolding at the city tower, and the city was silent, and there was even the sound of chuckles.

I only heard this person scolding: "Uncle Xu! You and other rats, dare to fight me! I saw that the people in the city smiled and said: "Where are the words, my southern general, now that Suiyang is in crisis, the general can't make these words with the official here, didn't the official also promise the general to send you cloth?" Leave quickly, don't make noise! Immediately, he said no more, waved his hand at the defenders of the city, and hundreds of archers at the head of the city pulled their bows and pointed at the city.

"Wait for the war! I, Nan Jiyun, will tell Your Majesty what happened today! , Xu Shuji, you wait! I saw that this person seemed to be a little helpless, so he hurriedly pulled the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head, and left Lingchang, and ran into Yan Feng and his party in an instant.

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next time.
