The night was low and the cold wind was biting.

On the empty school military field, Ruda was hung on the flagpole with his hands and feet more than two feet off the ground.

From Shen Shi to Hai Shi, Luda was hung for more than three hours, the rope was deeply stuck in the flesh, and he was already unconscious, not knowing the pain.

I don't know when it will rain in the sky, the raindrops the size of beans are cold and biting, hitting his face and waking Ruda from his coma, he tried to open his eyes, looking at this dark night, the empty school military field is pitch black, only a few wild cats are screaming miserably, lining the dark night with some inexplicable horror.

Ruda stiffened up, raised his head, and let the cold rain whipped against his face, as if that way he could feel better, and felt the burning anger in his heart weaken. He forced himself to calm down, admonishing himself in his heart to calm down, calm down, calm down again.

Ruda's heart calmed down in the night rain, and began to carefully sort out the process of escorting grain and grass that day, thinking, thinking, he suddenly remembered that when the team escorting grain and grass encountered an ambush, Tiha, who led the team, seemed to shout: "We have been betrayed." "Yes, that's it.

"We were betrayed."

"We were betrayed."

"We were betrayed."

This sentence sounded in his ears repeatedly, as if a sharp blade was ripping through Ruda's internal organs.

Ruda wondered who had betrayed us.

Thinking of this, Ruda shed tears in pain. He cried out in his heart: "I don't want to die, I can't die." ”

Ruda is not afraid of death, but he does not want to die innocently.

"I must live, live, live so that I can find out the man who betrayed the escort team, so that I can restore my innocence and comfort the souls of the brothers who died."

Ruda struggled, trying to break free from the tightly tied ropes on his body, and struggled several times in vain. Ruda sighed sadly: "Alas! "Close your eyes, wait, wait, wait, wait for the coming of death tomorrow afternoon, and wait for tomorrow afternoon to embark on the road to the Yellow Springs with a body of grievance and desolation......

Night, quiet night. Time no longer knows what time is approaching, and the night has unconsciously brought people into another day.

In the dead of night, the wild cats were silent and the night became darker.

In this darkness, on the dark school military field, three black shadows flashed quietly, jumping agilely. The black shadow soon came to the flagpole, and one of them shouted softly, "Big brother, wake up." We're here to save you. As he shouted, he took out his knife and quickly cut the rope on Ruda's body. Luda, who was deeply dazed, was awakened, and he could hear that this was Xue Yong's voice, and there was no need to ask the other two hearts to be Duan Jingzhu and Hou Jian.

Luda was lowered from the flagpole, and Duan Jingzhu said, "Big brother, go quickly, I'll carry you." ”

Ruda said: "Thank you three brothers, I can still walk myself." ”

Duan Jingzhu said, "Okay, let's run away." ”

Ruda said, "You three go first." I'll come when I go. ”

Xue Yong asked, "Big brother, where are you going?" ”

Ruda said, "I'm going to get that big knife back." ”

Xue Yong said: "When is it, you still have to find that broken knife." ”

Luda said: "It is a relic left by Tiha, and it can't fall into the hands of Tong Fei's dog official." ”

Xue Yong asked, "Where are you going to find it?" ”

Luda said: "When I was tied up during the day, I heard Tong Fei say that he locked the knife in the arsenal and sealed it, and it must still be there." ”

Duan Jingzhu also stopped: "It's a heavy place there, there must be someone guarding it, so don't go." ”

Ruda said, "No, I must get the big knife back, or I will be upset." ”

Duan Jingzhu said: "Then it's good to go, the four of us will go together, and we can take care of it." ”

Ruda said: "Let's go." ”

Since everyone had guarded the arsenal, under the cover of the night, Lu Da was in front, Xue Yong, and Hou Jian were in the middle, and Duan Jing lived behind the palace.

After passing through a few streets and alleys, the distance of a few hundred meters was quickly reached, and by this time it was already dark.

Ruda and the others came to the vicinity of the arsenal, hiding next to a courtyard wall, looking at the arsenal not far away, they were secretly happy in their hearts, there was no one at the gate, and there were soldiers guarding it day and night on weekdays.

It turned out that there were also two soldiers guarding here tonight as usual, but because of the rain and the bitter cold wind, the two soldiers who had seen it did not know how to run there to sleep on the lee.

Ruda turned around and whispered to the three people: "You are here to watch the wind for me, and the eldest brother will come when he goes." ”

Duan Jingzhu grabbed him, stuffed a fire fold into Luda's hand and said, "You take this." ”

Ruda nodded, and then jumped to the gate of the arsenal, stretched out his hand and forcefully unscrewed the big locked iron lock on the door, gently pushed the door open, tiptoed in, and then gently closed the door.

The arsenal was pitch black, Luda took out the fire fold given by Duan Jingzhu, blew it a few times with his mouth, and suddenly there was a light, he held the fire fold in his hand, and carefully searched for it by the faint light, and looked for it for a while, but he didn't find it, and he couldn't help but be secretly anxious, and suddenly a big mouse burst out at the foot of the wall, and looked at Luda, an uninvited guest. The appearance of the big mouse startled Luda, and the mouse squeaked and looked over, and the big knife was thrown in the corner, and at this time he was stepping on the feet of the big mouse, and Luda thought to himself: The sky really has eyes.

Luda waved the fire fold, scared the big mouse away, grabbed the big knife and left, gently pushed open the door of Wu, and just took one foot out, he heard someone shouting: "Someone, catch the thief." Come on, catch the thief. ”

It turned out that it was the Changing of the Guard soldiers who discovered Ruda.

Luda rushed out of the door and saw two soldiers shouting at the top of their voices, he didn't want to hurt them, so he knocked down one with his fist, raised his foot and kicked the other, and the two tigers jumped to Xue Yong's hiding place and shouted, "Brothers, run." The four men spread their footsteps and ran towards the closed door. Tong Fei, who was sleeping with his concubine in his arms, was awakened by the shouting, put on his clothes haphazardly, and rode a horse with his own guards to catch up, and when Luda and them were close to closing the door.

Tong Fei saw the angry and shouted at the guards on the horse: "Shoot arrows, shoot arrows, and pierce them with arrows for me." ”

The soldiers guarding the pass had to draw their bows and shoot arrows, but the arrow cluster either flew over Luda's heads, or fell to their feet, it turned out that the soldiers had long been unaccustomed to what Tong Fei did on weekdays, especially Tong Fei, who was the capital prisoner, did not collect the bodies of the officers and soldiers who died in the battle and buried them, which made everyone feel cold, especially after Luda came back yesterday, which made everyone more conscious, so when they heard Tong Fei's order to shoot arrows, they had to bluff and deal with it on the surface.

Seeing this, Ruda hugged his fist to the soldiers at the city gate and said, "Thank you, brothers, for making it happen." Beckoning to the other three, everyone rushed out of the gate.

Tong Fei led his soldiers to chase them out.

Ruda shouted, "Quick, go into the woods and go up the mountain." ”

Seeing that the four of them ran into the woods and disappeared, Tong Fei restrained the horse and scolded his subordinates angrily: "It's all ****** some idiots who eat dry rice." Let these four anti-thieves run away. ”

Ruda and the others climbed over a hill to see that the pursuers behind them did not come up, and everyone sat on the hillside to rest breathlessly.

Hou Jian said, "Big brother, let's go there." ”

Luda said without hesitation: "I'll go to Western Xia." ”

Duan Jingzhu asked, "Big brother, what are you doing in Western Xia?" ”

Ruda said: "I'm going to find out the whereabouts of those grains and grasses." ”

Hou Jian said: "The territory of Western Xia is so big, you go there to find it, and I'm afraid that the grain and grass have already been eaten up, how can you check." ”

Ruda said resolutely: "Even if I can't find it, I'll take a trip." ”

Xue Yong said: "If you want to go, the four of us will go together, and everyone will have a good time together." ”

Ruda said: "It's a long way, and it's easy for people to attract attention when we walk together, so I'll go alone." ”

Xue Yong, Duan Jingzhu, and Hou Jian asked almost in unison, "Then what should we do?" ”

Ruda said: "Everyone has relatives and friends, but no relatives and friends." ”

When the three of them saw that Ruda was so resolute, they had no choice but to say goodbye.

Seeing the backs of the three people, Ruda's heart felt very sad, I don't know when we will be able to meet again after this breakup, good brother, I wish you to take care of yourself.

In fact, Luda didn't want to break up with his three brothers in his heart, but he went to Xixia by himself, and he went all the way to Xixia, and he didn't know how many difficulties and dangers there were.

Ruda was afraid that he would endanger them, so he refused to accompany the three brothers.

Yesterday, when he was hanging on the flagpole, a thought suddenly flashed in Luda's mind, why did Tong Fei treat himself like that, as if he was hiding something in his heart? So what can he Tong hide, is it that Tong Fei sold the team that escorted grain and grass, but a thief shouted to catch the thief and frame him Ruda.

Although Ruda had suspicions, he was not sure that Tong Fei was the spy. If it was confirmed, then when Tong Fei led his men and horses to chase after them this morning, Ruda would never run away, and he would use the big knife left behind by Tihar in his hand to chop Tong Fei alive.

Because he couldn't be sure that Tong Fei was the spy, Luda decided to go to Western Xia to find out.
