After leaving Qingshan City, the convoy continued all the way north, and Zuo Yin was full of anticipation for the road ahead.

Since he was a child, he followed his grandfather up the mountain to collect medicine, although he has traveled all over the nearby mountains, but if it is said that he is serious about touring, this is the first time.

On the last day of the alien invasion, the snow was full of dragons, and since that day, there has been no snow, and the rare sunny weather for many days has cast a warm winter landscape over the area.

Zuo Yin was originally in the team, enjoying the scenery, but a herald came in front of him, saying that it was the summons of Wu Gong, Zuo Yin put down his mind and accelerated to the front.

Seeing that Wei Guogong was in front, Zuo Yin hurriedly rushed forward and bowed to his fist:

"Wu Gong."

Wu Jing glanced back at him, pointed into the distance with a horsewhip, and asked:

"Zuo Yin, I heard that you are very familiar with the mountains around here?"

Zuo Yin said respectfully: "Gong Wu, it is very familiar, Zuo Yin has followed his grandfather up the mountain to collect medicine since he was a child, and he knows the herbs on the mountain and the road." ”

Wu Jing smiled: "You kid is becoming more and more like Chang Zhi, and he is not humble at all. ”

Zuo Yin was about to speak, but Wu Jing raised his horsewhip and stopped Zuo Yin, he said: "With this unyielding momentum, very good, if you can still maintain this spirit in the Imperial Martial Arts Hall, that is the will of the unfallen Fire Tiger!" ”

Wu Jing's words were loud, and Zuo Yin felt a little boiling, but since Wu Gong could emphasize this, it was not easy to come to the empire to talk about martial arts.

At this moment, there was a neighing of a war horse, and at the same time, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind him, Zuo Yin looked back, but saw a light horse in black clothes rushing over.

In the past few days, as the convoy has advanced, Zuo Yin also has a general understanding of the convoy's defense, most of the people are in the convoy, and some of the "crows" from the forest department are scattered around patrolling.

The light rider in black clothes was the crow of the forest department, but his face was in a hurry, and when he was about to reach Wu Jing, "Huh! With a light shout, the light horse just stopped beside Wu Jing, just like Wu Jing stepped back a horse's head, and then handed a tube to Wu Jing with both hands.

Zuo Yin could probably guess that it was an urgent mail sent from the Dead Dragon Pass, but it was only a few days after leaving, and an urgent mail was delivered, and the journey did not seem to be smooth sailing as expected.

Wu Jing opened the package and took out the urgent item, but his face did not change, and after reading it, he handed the urgent item to Zuo Yin casually.

For Wu Jing's inexplicable trust, Zuo Yin was a little emotional, but when he got the urgent mail, his face suddenly changed.

On the urgent item, it was written that a shallow horseshoe print had been found in the deep mountains more than 30 miles away from the Dead Dragon Pass recently, which was already the farthest patrol range of the Cangnan Army's Wind Rangers.

According to the Ranger's estimates, a group of about ten people passed there, and judging from the direction, it was only possible to go to a foreign place.

After Zuo Yin read it, he handed the urgent mail to Gongsun Tao behind the two, and the latter pouted after reading it, a little disdainful of those people's sneakiness.

Wu Jing was silent for a while, and then asked: "Zuo Yin, among the people in the convoy, you are one of the few people who have been present in the battle for more than a month, tell me, what are your doubts about the attack of the alien race?" ”

The alien attack has been over for so many days, Wu Gong must have discussed this matter with the generals of Cangnan, and now he brings it up again, thinking that it is to test himself?

After Zuo Yin thought for a while, he spoke: "I heard that there are four major clans of the alien race, but this time the main army only has leopard cavalry and wing shooting, and only three of the four patriarchs have appeared, and the Huangzhu clan has never appeared. ”

Wu Jing nodded, "The alien race is not monolithic, so it is normal for the four major clans to have some infighting." ”

Zuo Yin continued: "In this battle, although there were heavy casualties among the aliens on the surface, the main force of the alien race, the leopard cavalry, had about 8,000 casualties, and the remaining three troops were almost intact. ”

Wu Jing said with a little solemnity: "This is also the suspicion of this alien attack, and on the side of Bian'an City, the neglect of Chu Ge's whereabouts is also a problem, it seems that we have to investigate it carefully." ”

Then Wu Jing turned around and said: "Okay, the big guy has been walking slowly for so long, and it is estimated that he is used to traveling long distances, so he will accelerate forward now, and the target is Yudu." ”

Wu Jing seemed to be a little worried about this urgent matter, but on the other hand, the next road was basically the official road of the empire, the road was flat, and there were small post houses at intervals for people to rest.

In the next few days, it was such a step-by-step itinerary, and the further back on, the winter climate became more and more cold, and on the fourth day of accelerating forward, the convoy arrived in Chongqing.

Chongqing is the second largest city in southern Xinjiang, the empire has a total of thirteen counties, each county has a capital, as the capital of Chongqing County, the style of Chongqing is naturally not comparable to Qingshan City, when Chongqing is a few miles away, it is already faintly visible.

In order not to disturb the people, the convoy took off the flags and various signs when it was still a day away from Yudu, but some people from the guard battalion had already gone to notify the county guards in Yudu in advance.

When approaching the capital of Chongqing, most of the people on the road stared curiously at this convoy, although in southern Xinjiang except for the southernmost Cangnan army, most places have been peaceful for a long time, but the basic eyesight, most of the people still have. The murderous aura on the people of the convoy was obviously more terrifying than the soldiers stationed in Yudu.

And the armor on the personnel of this team is also varied, including silver Chongkai, a light rider in black cloth, and a young man in red and light armor.

"Hey, what do you think this team is coming from?"

"This style, this spirit, is obviously much stronger than the soldiers stationed in Yudu, and it is also from the south, it can only be the Cangnan army."

"Cangnan Army? It had been years since a convoy of so many people had been seen. ”

"I don't know, I guess there's something."

Originally exposed to everyone, Gongsun Tao was still a little worried, but Wu Jing insisted on continuing to ride a horse, and he smiled: "I've been stationed in southern Xinjiang for so many years, what are you afraid of, it's not that nothing has happened?" ”

Gongsun Tao didn't say anything when he saw Wu Jing insisting, but Zuo Yin was a little embarrassed in the convoy, and he was on the outermost side of the convoy, with Lin Lao. When the people saw him as a young man, dressed in red armor, with a riding knife at his waist, riding on a tall horse, they all secretly speculated that he was the child of a general, which made Zuo Yin cry and laugh.

The convoy gradually approached Yudu, and at this time, everyone saw that under the city gate, there were already two people waiting here, and there were people who knew the two people around, looking at the probe, wondering who had such a big face.

Seeing the convoy approaching, Ouyang Che, the county guard of Yudu, and Cui Linyuan, the governor of Yudu, all bent down and bowed.

Looking at the actions of those two people, some experienced people understood who came, and they all bent down and bowed their hands, after the Yuanjia Northern Expedition, the alien disaster was serious, only thanks to the Cangnan Army's thirty-year guard, there was a hard-won peace in southern Xinjiang, Wu Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, should pay this respect!

Zuo Yin looked at the approach of the convoy, looked up at the city in front of him, speaking of which, the gate of the Dead Dragon Pass and the Yudu is two styles, the former is thick and solid, with a rough simplicity, the latter has a sense of grace, the city gate is more gorgeous, there are many decorations, and the plaque reads "Li Zhengmen." ”

Wu Jing said lightly: "You don't have to be polite, get up." ”

Ouyang Che said respectfully: "Wei Guogong came to Yudu in person, it is a blessing for the people of Yudu, Ouyang Che, as a parent official of Yudu, is deeply grateful for guarding the Dragon Pass for Wei Guogong and guarding the land of southern Xinjiang." "After that, it's another bow.

Wu Jing waved his hand to stop Cui Linyuan, who wanted to say something, "Okay, I have received your wishes, go in early, and you won't disturb the people's entry and exit." ”

The two of them admired Wei Guogong's kindness and compassion again, and followed Wu Jing and Gongsun Tao and began to enter the Lizheng Gate, while the convoy followed.

When the convoy began to move forward on the main street of Yudu, the people on both sides did not know about it, but when they saw Ouyang Che and Cui Linyuan, and saw that both of them were following behind an old man, most of them were boiling, and everyone flocked to the street and upstairs to watch.

Zuo Yin looked at the elated expressions on everyone's faces, and couldn't help but feel a little proud of his desperate efforts in the battle of alien attacks. Lin Lao beside him still looked calm, looked at Zuo Yin's face, and said lightly: "Zuo boy, is this disturbed?" ”

Zuo Yin was a little embarrassed and explained: "Seeing the smiling faces of the people, I feel that the battle of the Dead Dragon Pass has meaning. ”

Lin Lao obviously scoffed a little, and retorted: "The main reason why they show such expressions is because you have won the battle, if you are defeated, even if you fight against the alien race strongly, the people will despise you." ”

"Therefore, the most unserious thing is the pursuit of the general public, hum, the seaside sand city, one rush to cross."

Zuo Yin was stunned for a while, but Lin Lao's face seemed to have a little sadness and indignation, which was very inconsistent with his always indifferent appearance, perhaps, Lin Lao had experienced something.

After Lin Lao's lesson, Zuo Yin also let go of his original state of mind and began to calmly accept the attention of the people.

After the team entered the originally prepared post house, the soldiers of the convoy began to sort out their things, although it was morning, but in the Yudu, Wu Jing needed to visit some people, so he would leave tomorrow.

When Zuo Yin was unloading things, Gongsun Tao walked in, and he smiled at Zuo Yin: "Zuo Yin, you are not from the guard camp, just an entourage this time, so if you want to move around in Chongqing, go and go around, it's good to see the market more, of course, this is what Wu Gong meant." ”

Zuo Yin was a little excited in his heart, what he saw in Yudu along the way, those prosperity was unforgettable, worthy of being the country of abundance, but he seemed to think of something, and said embarrassedly: "Gongsun Battalion Commander, I don't know, do you have any money?" ”

Gongsun Tao's face suddenly felt a little strange, and he asked a little stunned: "The Quartermaster Department didn't give you a monthly salary?" ”

Zuo Yin shook his head, and Gongsun Tao said helplessly: "You are a disciple of Bai Dutong, unless he hints, no one dares to owe you money." At that moment, he took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms, and said to Zuo Yin: "It's okay, you can give me this silver when you send it in the future, and Bai Dutong is too, and he embezzles the disciple's silver." ”

Gongsun Tao was obviously joking, and Zuo Yin didn't have any doubts about his master's point, but with the money, he could buy some books in Yudu, his own master had pointed out, and if he bought some books, the journey would not be too monotonous.

After Zuo Yin changed into civilian clothes, he carried the silver money, hummed a small tune from southern Xinjiang, and walked out of the post house leisurely.
