The morning in late autumn is exceptionally cold.

There was no wind, and the morning mist seemed to solidify in the mountains and forests, like a ball of translucent milk; On the slender pine needles, on the low shrubs, on the dead grass in the forest, there is snow and autumn frost; Even the little squirrels that jumped up and down on weekdays only poked their heads at the entrance of the hole, and then retracted into the tree hole as if they were afraid of the cold.

Before the sun came out, Xu Zhiyuan was already in the improvised camp of the Fuliao Army.

He was still dressed neatly and cleanly, and he couldn't see the slightest stain even when he was wading through mountains and rivers.

When Xu Zhiyuan reported his name and identity, he was immediately brought to a tall young general wearing a half-body armor, and before he could speak, the latter asked him without raising his head, "Are you the leader of this piece?" ”

Although the other party was young, the aura of being battle-hardened and looking at everything made Xu Zhiyuan's heart sink, so when someone behind the young general translated this sentence to him, he had to nod silently.

"We're here to find someone, no matter what you do, everything is easy to say after you find someone!" After listening to the second sentence translated, Xu Zhiyuan's heart suddenly plucked - come to find someone? Someone came to their bandit's den, was they kidnapped? Look at this posture, it is still a very important figure in the Liao Army!

Grandma's blind ones are actually going to provoke these living Hades! I really should lead them to the top of Shuishan Mountain to see that terrible Jingguan!

Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyuan replied with a deep groan, "Don't hide it from this general, although I am the leader of this area, my brothers will not pass through me in everything...... But I don't know who the general is looking for? I'll go back and check it, if it's really my brothers, the surname Xu will never be protected. How to do it, everything is according to the rules of the rivers and lakes! ”

"Master Xu misunderstood, we didn't come to ask the teacher to ask for guilt, but hoped that Master Xu could let go of a way and let us go into the mountains to search...... Our people landed here yesterday afternoon, and it is unknown whether they were caught by you. But even if you get caught, as long as the person is okay, we will pay the ransom as much as we want...... Please let go of these rivers for a convenient trip. The translated words were much more polite, but they made Xu Zhiyuan confused - what do you mean by "falling in this area at noon yesterday"? Could it be that it can still come from heaven?

I don't understand it, I don't understand, a big stone in Xu Zhiyuan's heart finally fell to the ground - as long as it wasn't his own subordinates, it would be much easier to do it, and the other party also said that as long as the person was okay, he would be willing to pay the ransom.

And judging from the other party's eager attitude, Xu Zhiyuan can be even more sure that this person who is trapped in this area must be an indispensable figure in the Liao Army. Even, maybe their leader!

Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyuan couldn't help but be a little excited-he originally hoped to hug the thick leg of the Liao Army, but now if he can help find the leader of the Liao Army, is this next step of cooperation still a problem?

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Xu Zhiyuan almost immediately agreed to the young general's request, offering to be his own guide and open the way -- he crossed the river this time. The more than 30 people in the line were all brought with them, and they just spread out to lead the way for the Fuliao army.

Discuss and stop. Xu Zhiyuan arranged his subordinates and sent someone to inform the other side of the river to be calm for a while, and then returned to the center of the camp; He couldn't help but be surprised again when he saw a neat phalanx standing there waiting for him—these Ming people were moving so fast, and they had already assembled in a short period of time!

When he looked closely, he was even more amazed - he saw that almost everyone in the phalanx had a well-made wooden box behind him. Although Xu Zhiyuan didn't know what it was, he could vaguely guess that it was the sharp and incomparable fire gun of the Fuliao Army; And on the wide leather belt of their half-body armor, there are a lot of things hanging in a dazzling array of things, some of which Xu Zhiyuan can understand, such as kettles and daggers; More than anything he had ever seen. For example, what are the three black wooden handle iron bumps in the center of the belt for? And what is in the cloth bag hanging on the right side of the belt, which looks like it is stuffed one by one?

Of course, there were also those who did not carry wooden boxes—the man in the ranks, who was noticeably taller and looked extremely burly, carried a frighteningly large bow on his back, and of course had an extra pot of arrows at his waist.

Looking at these tiger and wolf soldiers, Xu Zhiyuan thought to himself, no wonder the Fuliao army was able to kill the Liu family's private army without leaving a single piece of armor, just such twenty or thirty people went to that station, and the murderous aura had already soared into the sky.

"Xu Da is in charge, please lead the way."

He was sighing with emotion, and the translator translated out the words of Liu Zhongwen and Liu Gongzi -- when he was discussing just now, he already knew the name of this young and burly general, and even more so that he was a pivotal figure in the Fuliao army.

Nodding at Liu Zhongwen, Xu Zhiyuan led his men and went up the canyon of the Anza River.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Chu Fan is still injured in the end!

He chatted with Gao Fengji quite closely, and it was precisely because he was too close that Chu Fan was paralyzed and careless-when Gao Fengji found out, the horse bandits had already touched the stone ladder!

In a hurry, Chu Fan didn't have time to fight back with a crossbow, so he could only rely on the Longquan Sword to slash down the horse bandit who had already come out.

But he was also hit by three arrows because of this - the main forces of the horse bandits were concentrated on fire support, and they gathered on the narrow mountain road to shoot at Chu Fan, who had to lean out; Two of the three arrows were okay, both were bow arrows, which were shot at Chu Fan's left shoulder and abdomen respectively, and the protective effect of the fish scale armor was quite good, the flesh was very shallow, and it was wrapped in a silk lining, so it was easy to treat the wound well; The most harmful to Chu Fan was a crossbow arrow, which originally went straight to Chu Fan's front door, but fortunately, Chu Fan reacted quickly enough and raised his hand to block it, but the arrow was full of strength, not only penetrating the thick bracer, but the rusty arrow also penetrated deeply into Chu Fan's left forearm.

After the sneak attack was stopped, Gao Fengji and Yan Ruxue, who was awakened, stepped forward to help, and the star lord of Tamluo picked up the crossbow and shot it under the stone ladder, because there were too many people, she actually let her shoot one; Yan Ruxue, on the other hand, lifted the stones and threw them down.

After all, the mountain road was too narrow, and the horse bandits retreated again after paying the price of one dead and three wounded, and this short but tragic sneak attack in the darkness came to an end.

And the stone ladder was also a miserable victory - the crossbow arrow on Chu Fan's forearm was finally pulled out with great effort, but it didn't take long for Chu Fan's wound to become infected, and he had already fallen into a state of high fever when the sky was just dawning, and sometimes he was in a coma.

The girls had already been in a mess, and they were at a loss around Chu Fan, and just as the sun was slowly rising, heavy footsteps came from the mountain road again.

Horse bandits, up again! (To be continued.) )
