On the passage from Bianliang to Hedong, it was best to take the flat and wide official road, the official road could accommodate four horses in parallel, but on the winding road, two tents were stationed in the cold night, among them, generally speaking, the people who must open the official road and take the small road are nothing more than some smugglers, selling salt and iron and other things to the Western Xia, Liao, they have a shallow foundation, and they can't afford to buy the joints of the border pass.

However, this group of people did not look like black merchants who took the trade route, because in the place where they were stationed, there were several strong men patrolling, although from the outside, they were all dressed in leather clothes, but inside were several layers of heavy iron armor, as soon as they walked in the soil was a footprint, and at the same time there was a sound of iron armor colliding.

At this time, dozens of arrows were suddenly shot out of the forest, and the plainclothes armor soldiers who were patrolling the night immediately fell in a pool of blood, among which there were also men who woke up, and before they died, they let out a terrible cry, "Enemy attack ......"

At this time, there were dense armor soldiers in the forest, and the clothes were the regular forbidden army system of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhou Tai stood up and just yelled, "Tang Yuhou, you take your wife to go first, and then you will break off!" ”

After the voice, Tang Huai pulled a woman out of the tent in another tent, Tang Huai was sent by Yang Ling to go to Dumen to take care of Yang Keshi, but when he arrived at Dumen, Yang Keshi had already been imprisoned, and later after his unjust death, he was entrusted by him to escort Yang Lingyun back to Jinyang with Zhou Tai, and only when they arrived in Jinyang, they would be safe. At this time, everyone already knew that Yang Keshi had already redeemed Yang Lingyun, and Yang Keshi had three months of flesh and blood in his abdomen.

And these forbidden troops were sent by He Guan to besiege and kill Yang Keshiyu's party, and the military order given to them in this pursuit was to take down anyone who escaped from the tent. If you catch one person, you will be rewarded.

Such a heavy reward made them also excited, only to see a group of forbidden soldiers with guns and knives rushing up, Tang Huai also rushed over, before they could make contact, several forbidden army armor soldiers also rushed out, everyone was in the hands of the blades, shouting: "Tang Huai." You don't run! ”

It is conceivable that Tang Huai has encountered more than one time for such a siege and interception, and the other party even knows his own name, presumably the Jinyang army soldiers who were left behind in the previous breakthrough also couldn't stand the torture and betrayed their own family, only to see Zhou Tai leading a few armor soldiers to snatch from Tang Huai's side in a few steps, and collided with those forbidden soldiers, with swords and long knives in their hands. The blades that held them up pushed desperately to both sides, "Take Madam Yang away!" ”

This time. But it was not the time to be emotional, Tang Huai shouted: "Get on the horse!" Yang Lingyun reacted very quickly, these days, she was also forced out, and Tang Huai grabbed the reins of the war horse almost at the same time, and turned over.

Tang Huai didn't say much. With a whip on the horse, he was already guarding Yang Lingyun, and in the army formation that was pushed away by Zhou Tai, he rushed out with a roar! The sergeants were all in an uproar, and some of them had already drawn their bows and arrows. At this time, they had already rushed out, and seeing this scene, many forbidden soldiers jumped to their feet and shouted in order to reward them for capturing one person alive: "No arrows, only capture!" ”

It's a pity that the shouting was a little late, a soldier had no time to stop, a "whoosh" arrow had already gone out, and the partial life shot extremely accurately, grazing the helmet of the rider in front of him, this arrow, immediately brought the knight's helmet down, even the bun was torn off, a jet-black show, immediately poured down, swaying behind the knight, the moonlight reflected, as if reflecting a bright dream.

At this time, she couldn't catch up anymore, the knight's small figure was lying on the back of the horse, galloping forward desperately, and Tang Huai was tightly guarding behind her.

A general of the forbidden army could no longer bear the disappointment of this miraculous achievement, and let out a long sigh.

Tang Huai and the two of them are getting colder and colder, after all, at the end of March, they encountered a cold wave, but the climate is different all over the country, that is, this area near Hedong Road, has fallen snow, it is estimated that this is the last snow after the beginning of spring, I saw Tang Huai dressed bloated, holding a tree trunk in his hand, and walking cautiously to the north on the river. You can also place yourself horizontally on it so that you don't fall into the ice hole.

This simple man is already haggard and not like a person, his face is frostbitten and dripping with yellow water, but the calm and stoic aura on his body seems to be thicker, although Tang Huai is not good at words, but he has never forgotten his promise to Yang Keshi, he must send Mrs. Yang to Xiao Yang safely, but his shoulders seem to be able to entrust any responsibility you give him.

On the south bank of the river, there is a small figure, all the rags on his body are covered, and there is dry grass inside, it looks like a flower child, this small figure is Yang Lingyun, Tang Huai doesn't know where to get the oil, and it is all smeared on Yang Lingyun's pale face.

She watched nervously with unblinking eyes as Tang Huai explored the way on the ice, a pair of small fists clenched tightly, and she didn't even dare to come out. As if she was afraid that as soon as she made a sound, she would shatter the ice, and the Dumen woman was already weak, but the strength that Yang Lingyun had shown over the past few days had been extraordinary, but fortunately, the child in her womb was only three months old, and she couldn't see anything, otherwise it would be inconvenient to move.

I don't know how long it took, Tang Huai finally rubbed on the shore of the ice, lay on the river bank, and turned back to greet Yang Lingyun: "Just follow the road I just walked, carrying the branches in my hands, and walk slowly!" I can bear this ice and this rammed goods, Mrs. Yang, you have no problem, and put your heart down."

Yang Lingyun nodded bravely, learning from Tang Huai's appearance, holding a branch flat, and carefully walked on the ice, the cold wind blew, her small body seemed to be blown swaying, but she firmly walked towards the north bank, but Tang Huai was on the river bank, looking around to see if there was a figure.

After a while, Yang Lingyun had already walked to the other side of the river, sat down, patted his chest, and looked frightened, Tang Huai looked around, nodded and said, "No one!" It's considered to have crossed the river. Fortunately, the Lord of Xiao Yang has taken control of Hedong, and the Lord of Da Yang has entrusted you to me, if I can't protect you thoroughly, how can I have the face to meet the Lord of Xiao Yang? ”

Yang Lingyun looked in the direction of Jinyang, her expression didn't know whether she was happy or sad, and finally said in a low voice: "Brother Tang." If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know where I would have died. ”

Tang Huai smiled: "Madam, what are you talking about!" So-and-so doesn't matter what happens. I also have to cover you thoroughly, just go to Hedong, when you get there, it is not something that the imperial court can touch, and General Xiao Yang is by no means a person who is afraid of things? Do you see how much career General Xiao Yang has made now? defeated the Liao people, not to mention the restoration of Yandi, and now it is Xiao Yang who has blocked the Jurchen! ”

Speaking of Yang Ling's exploits, Tang Huai's simple face couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows. Finally, he smiled bitterly: "No other place can be said to be safe." Only when I arrived in Jinyang, I arrived at the side of General Xiao Yang. Even if the sky falls, you don't have to worry about it, miss! ”

Yang Lingyun's expression was a little sad, in fact, she was only in her early twenties, and in the current society, she was actually still at the age of college, but the elegance in her expression was past her current age. "Will it affect that Xiao Yang general?"

Tang Huai sighed and didn't take the conversation. Although he is simple, he knows everything in his heart, Yang Keshi was punished, and Yang Lingyun is also a hot potato, but he also believes in Yang Ling and will never give up Yang Lingyun! And his responsibility. It is to bring Yang Lingyun back to Yang Ling safely.

Needless to say, their mounts were used to change into warm clothes and food, and they inquired about the news all the way. Looking for Yang Ling's traces all the way, no matter which soldiers and horses he saw on the road, he avoided them from afar.

Even if it is the Song Army Brigade, it is the same, who knows if they are here to hunt down Yang Lingyun! From the mouths of the people who fled from the border areas, they chased them all the way.

In the end, Tang Huai could only shake his head violently: "Go!" The closer we are to Jinyang, the more we have to be careful, it will only be two or three days away from General Xiao Yang, and it will be safe when we arrive at General Xiao Yang!

In the hills to the west of Jinyang, two figures wrapped their heads and faces tightly, staggering forward in the heavy snow.

The petite figure was obviously a little unable to hold on, but the sturdier figure in front of her dragged her away with all his strength.

These two people are Tang Huai and Yang Lingyun.

In the wind and snow, Tang Huai also felt exhausted, but now it was the east wind, the road between the hills was east-west, and the cold wind was whistling between the roads without obstruction, blowing people to the bone. Spending the night here, the two of them were so tired that they were afraid that they wouldn't even be able to survive the dawn.

There is only a way out of this bare hill. See if there is a sheltered forest before you can rest.

Yang Lingyun was pulled by Tang Huai, and wanted to grit her teeth to hold on, but she couldn't hold it anymore, and finally spoke with a crying voice: "Brother Tang, it's really not possible, can't you just rest here?" I can fall asleep as soon as I close my eyes, I'm too old to freeze. ”

Tang Huai shook his head and swallowed a mouthful of cold spit: "No, I'll freeze to death!" In the past few days, we haven't had anything serious to eat, what do we use to carry the cold wind like a knife? No matter how much patience I have, the hills on both sides are facing downward, and I will be able to get out of this outlet immediately, and there may be a forest in front of me, and I will be able to pull some branches to build a shack to get through this night."

After saying a word, he squatted down, at this time it was not as strict as the defense of men and women in the Southern Song Dynasty, not to mention that things were urgent, no one thought in that direction, Tang Huai pulled Yang Lingyun to his back, and continued to struggle forward with her on his back, Yang Lingyun did not say anything, tried her best to control herself not to tremble, so that Tang Huai could save some strength, she also saw these generals under Yang Ling's command, only obeyed the order, and if she didn't fall down, she wouldn't put her down.

After struggling forward for a few hundred steps, he suddenly saw a faint fire flickering at the exit of the road between the hills, Tang Huai put down Yang Lingyun and whispered to her: "You hide here, I'll go to the front to take a look, I don't know who is there, if you don't worry, ask for a hot soup and hot water, we will hold it down tonight, it won't be long before we can enter Jinyang!" If there is a sound of fighting. , you go by yourself, leave me alone! ”

Yang Lingyun nodded obediently, squatted down and hid her small figure in the dark, Tang Huai looked at her, and then looked at herself, she was in tatters, with rough hands and feet, she looked like a fleeing refugee, and she didn't show anything to hide, and walked towards the firelight.

After walking a short time, I saw a bonfire lit at the exit of this road, and next to the bonfire, there was a shack built with dead branches and grass, which was hidden in a leeward place at the exit. On top of the bonfire, a clay pot was hung, and the aroma of hot soup came out of the clay pot, and two people wearing Song army cloaks and hoods surrounded the bonfire. Both of them were cavalrymen, and they also built shelters for their mounts to protect them from the wind, and the two war horses were quietly chewing beans.

Both of them heard him coming, and got up by the campfire, spitting and drawing their swords, and the sound of metal clashing could be heard far and wide in the snowy night.

"Who?"

Tang Huai wanted to turn around and leave as soon as possible, but at this time, he turned around and ran away, but it was even more revealing, so he had to nod and approach, and approached the bonfire with a cow: "I am a fleeing people, people next to Jinyang, I heard that the battle there is over, looking for a return to my hometown, my wife and children are separated, I don't know if I can find it when I go back, the two military masters, can I give a mouthful of hot soup, I have to repay for being a cow and a horse in this life!" ”

The two of them were vigilant and looked at Tang Huai fixedly by the light of the fire.

Tang Huai's simple and honest appearance is very easy to believe, and even if he has fled until now, he has fallen into a bad situation, and the two Song army knights guarding the intersection immediately believed that this was a refugee.

The two relaxed their guards, sat back again, and one of them scolded with a smile: "We in Shaanxi are also snowing in winter, it's not important, who is in a hurry in the snowy night?" You are also a poor person, come and take a drink, the battle is over, go back to find the mother-in-law doll, and it is not easy for everyone to have a peaceful birthday! ”

Tang Huai sat down by the bonfire, and immediately felt the heat seeping into his heart, indescribably comfortable, these two military men were not bad, one of them took a thick bowl, poured half a bowl of soup and came over, Tang Huai held it in his hand, and couldn't wait to pour it into his stomach, but where did he come to drink hot soup alone?

If these two people are ordinary refugees, they are both Song Jun, and I don't know if they came to search for them, Yang Lingyun's identity is like this, why do they have to get it, and it is a matter of course to search and arrest them until now! (To be continued.) )
