A few trees apart, but two worlds.

On the outskirts of the Everglades is a sparse forest, perhaps because of the good water and soil, and these unnamed trees grow unusually tall, and their dense foliage obscures the sky.

Tang An and the three of them walked quickly among the bushes, looking around from time to time, as if they were on guard against unknown dangers.

The swamp is known as the "devil's domain" by the Hu people, and it is certainly not without purpose. Su Meier's fear of mentioning this place before was not pretended at all. But perhaps because it has not yet entered the hinterland, this forest is filled with tranquility, like an oasis in the endless loess, where the weary traveler can find a moment of peace, rather than a beast that chooses to devour people.

Tang An covered his brows and looked into the distance, but he couldn't see the shadow of Chen Buping's people at all, and secretly scolded these grandsons for running really fast.

And Mu Rong next to him frowned, suddenly stopped his steps, looked around, and said, "Tang An, I feel weird here." ”

"What's the blame?" Tang An asked.

Mu Rong said: "I feel... It's like I'm being stared at by something. ”

"Something?" Tang Anxin was alert, and looked up like Mu Rong, but except for the dense leaves that covered the sky, he could no longer see a single figure.

"Hmph, there are many dangers in the swamp, and I heard that few people who enter it can get out. The slaves tried to persuade each other, but you did not listen to it, and now it is too late to repent. Alas, I think that there will be a few more pairs of white bones in this devil's territory. ”

Su Mei'er, who had been silent, sighed faintly, looking extremely depressed.

Tang An said disdainfully: "Entering the swamp, there is still a glimmer of life." If you stupidly take a detour, I'm afraid that you have already been swallowed by your little friend and there are no bones left. ”

Hello to the little one? Which eye do you see!

Su Mei'er surprisingly didn't argue, but asked very calmly: "The slave has a question: if Mo Lingtu doesn't agree to your conditions, will you kill the slave?" ”

Tang An turned his head, smiled a little weirdly, and said, "I don't know, I'm just a little curious, I don't know if you really have an extremely respectable status in the Xia country." Now it seems that I underestimated you. ”

Su Mei'er looked away with some weakness and said, "Please answer the slave's question." ”

"Whether I answer or not, now you are alive and well, this is the result." Tang An turned around and continued to hurry, leaving only the back of Su Mei'er's head. "As for what kind of psychological comfort you want, you don't have to. Hopefully, on this journey through the Everglades, we will be able to make the most of our last moments together. ”

Su Mei'er's chest was suffocated, and for some reason, looking at Tang An's back, she suddenly felt a little reluctant.

"Lord Tang!"

Among the trees in front of them, a swarthy face suddenly appeared, which startled the three of them. Take a closer look, who is it if it's not Marchand?

"Pony, why are you here?" Tang An's face was happy, there were vast fields here, if there was no one to lead the way, he really didn't know where to go to find the big army.

Like a spirit monkey, Ma Shang jumped down from the tree where he was hiding lightly, and grinned: "Brother Chen is afraid that you won't find us, so he deliberately arranged for me to wait for you here." ”

Tang An smiled: "Good boy, how do you know that I can come in alive?" ”

Ma Shangshu laughed and said: "Brother Chen said that good people don't live long, and disasters will last for a thousand years." Lord Tang, you are a despicable and shameless ancestor, and you will definitely not die so easily. ”

Tang An's smile instantly froze on his face. Fuck, is there such a compliment?

Mu Rong appeared beside Tang An lightly and said two words softly: incisive.

Brilliant fart! Tang An asked with a dark face, "Did he really say that?" ”

"yes, how could I lie to you? Brother Chen also said......"

"Stop! In which direction did they go? ”

"Right ahead, I'll lead the way!"

The four of them walked for a while, and the further they went, the denser the woods became, and the ground was no longer dry dirt, and occasionally a few pools of water made the black soil softer and softer.

Pushing aside a green leaf in front of him, a group of figures suddenly came into view. Chen Buping found a rare vacant land, and sat on the ground to rest at this time.

They were not worried about the pursuers, and if Marchand came back alone, it meant that the pursuers had arrived and Tang An was dead. The tired soldiers, who have lost their boss twice, don't mind throwing away a rotten life that should have been given up a long time ago, and the complex terrain between the woods seems to be a good venue for the final battle with the beard.

If Tang An can come alive, it means that he has got rid of his beard and has successfully staged a miracle again. The swamp is so big, if they venture forward, they are likely to miss Tang An.

A commander who is willing to sacrifice for them is worth the lives of all soldiers. So Chen Buping stopped, and a group of soldiers also expressed the same idea.

If they don't see Tang An, they would rather fight with Beard, even if there is no suspense at all in this battle.

It is gratifying that Tang An did not live up to everyone's trust, and he really got rid of the pursuers again.

If there were still people who doubted Tang An's resourcefulness before, then now, escaping from people under the army of 20,000 people is completely out of the category of mere courage and courage. has such a smart coach, which makes every Datang soldier full of pride.

"Brother Tang!"

"Big brother!"

Seeing Tang An appear, Chen Buping was excited, although there were only two beautiful women beside him, but in the eyes of everyone, he was like a general who had won a battle, extremely powerful and domineering.

Tang An was slightly stunned, he didn't expect everyone to wait here, and frowned: "Why don't you leave?" ”

Ji Chen grinned and said, "Let's go, what are you going to do?" ”

"Since I chose to stay, I naturally have my plans. But what about you? I've told you to hurry up, but you're fine. Tang An didn't seem to appreciate it, and pointed at Chen Buping and Ji Chen: "You are gambling with the lives of all your brothers, this is disobedience!" ”

Chen Buping's serious face showed a rare smile, and said, "Disobey the order." Brother Tang, you can spare your life for our sake, why can't we wait? Speaking of which, this is the first time that Chen Buping has violated a military order, but I don't regret it! I gave the order, and I am willing to receive the punishment for my brothers! ”

"I do, too!"

"Yes, we are willing to wait, and it has nothing to do with Brother Chen!"

"If you want to punish me, punish me first!"

Watching the soldiers scramble to lead the army one by one, Tang An sighed helplessly. In fact, how could he not understand everyone's mind? If it weren't for the sake of living and dying with themselves, they would have been gone long ago. In the face of such a group of people who value love and righteousness, I am afraid that even hard-hearted people will not be able to really punish them.

Sighing softly, Tang An said: "Now that the beard is outside, if I punish you, who will kill the enemy?" But military law is military law, and when we escape and are too good, you all make up for Lao Tzu! ”

Seeing Tang An loosen his mouth, all the soldiers laughed, hooked their shoulders and came together, how could they have the appearance of an iron-blooded army?

Mu Rong on the side looked at this group of affectionate soldiers, and while everyone was not paying attention, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he muttered: "A group of stupid people." ”
