"There's a kind of you don't run"

"There's a kind of you catching up"

Such shouts between the chases made the atmosphere gradually change its flavor, and it seemed a little funny.

For some reason, Cao Baqi and the others who came out of the 100,000 Mountains at this time were unusually embarrassed, Xie Shence guessed, or they were yin when they snatched the treasure key, or they were yin after grabbing the key, in short, they were yin. And it seems—in fact, he has never seen the Imperial Pavilion, and perhaps not even the door of the Imperial Pavilion. They didn't get the treasure they had ever dreamed of.

As for who they were harmed by like this, Xie Shence has no interest in knowing at all, and now hanging them behind is just because they may be a breakthrough.

After chasing for a long time, the war horses of Xie Shence and others in front had already begun to spew out white mist, and Cao Baqi in the back had already fallen farther and farther away.

"I guess I can't catch up, right?"

"Probably yes"

"Then let's take a break."

So about a mile or two away from Cao Baqi, Xie Shence and others made a fire to cook.

At this time, there were still a small number of homeless people on the grassland, but they were also relatively bold and small in number - ordinary people had the courage to go like this. Even such a person didn't dare to fight Xie Shence and the others' ideas.

Walking on the grassland, although you can draw a knife if you don't agree with each other, but the premise is that you must have a shiny move, otherwise you don't know how to escape when you see danger, and you have to tease if you can't provoke it, and there are no bones left for people to eat.

Although Xie Shence's group is lightly armoured, they are well-armoured, and they have bows and crossbows, which are obviously not easy to get along with, so even if there is a smell of meat, they are just watching from a distance, and some are really bold enough to dare to bring wine and politely ask for a little change.

The wine has long been drunk, and the wine at this time is a good thing, Xie Shence will not refuse, the eyes of a group of men are full of green light, and Xie Shence is willing to go against everyone's wishes.

Meng sweat medicine and the like are not afraid, Xie Shence put the red jade pendant on his waist - just treat it as a jade pendant, put it in and probe it at will, and found that there were no hands and feet. In fact, at this time, although Menghan medicine has been often used by bandits and bandits, its refining is not simple, the cost is quite high, and ordinary people cannot afford to use it. Xie Shence saw that the other party was honest, so he nodded and agreed, and the two of them put down a few jars of wine carelessly, took a small half of the wild boar and went happily.

Someone here successfully changed the meat, and soon another person came to change it. It's just that Uncle Lou saw that they brought it but gold and silver, and that he didn't have enough to eat, so he drank it back. At this time, there is no need to be emotional, and the other party will not dare to turn his face because of this food, in fact, there is no need to worry about what connections and affection are needed.

You're on the run, can you still be considered a powerful partner? Besides, even if you are not a refugee, you are good enough?

It's just that after midnight, Cao Baqi and the others, who were already exhausted, couldn't hold on.

"The one over there has been chasing us for a long time, but it's also amazing, I don't eat at this time, it can be seen that we are all tough guys, we don't care, just eat more, Uncle Hai's meat is really good, Master, you taste this side"

Xie Shence's mouth was stuffed with meat, and he poured a sip of wine from time to time, heartily.

A mile or two away, Cao Baqi and the others, who could no longer hold on, gradually leaned over.

It's not that they're hard, it's not that they're not tired or hungry, it's just that they haven't eaten.

The food here is almost over, and some of them have begun to sleep, but the horse bandits over there are more and more energetic, and their eyes are shining with green light.

On the grassland, everyone is a mile or two away, in fact, the firelight can be seen clearly, the autumn grass is high, and there is nothing to hide, there are two people who may not be able to resist the temptation to lurk and steal some food were shot somewhere in the body, not fatal, the screams woke up most of the people, so the second half of the night was very silent - this group of people is not easy to mess with, they really dare to kill, but it is still to save face, so there are fewer people who dare to disturb after that.

Cao Baqi was also frightened by the two arrows at first, and then thought about it, in fact, the two sides may not be how big the beam is, isn't it just that they killed a few of their own people? Cao Baqi is a horse bandit, human life is like mustard, the people brought out this time, the henchmen are some of the current people, who died before, not all of them are in their own villages, and their feelings are not very deep, so that they can't get along with themselves because of them.

So the next morning, Xie Shence, who had slept well, met with the messenger sent by Cao Baqi to make peace.

A small man carrying a huge sword, that is, the person who Cao Baqi called Ge Monkey.

"You're the ones of the fish pond?"

“”

"We have something to say."

“”

"Brothers are very hungry, as long as you give food, the old grievances will be written off, and from today on, my brother will sell you a life."

"Well, this one."

"Don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, we Jinren are doing business happily, let's not do it."

"Okay then."

So a meal of meat and a small amount of wine was bought, or rather, it was against the hungry Cao Baqi.

Xie Shence is clear about Cao Baqi's abacus, and Uncle Li Yan Wanglou and others are also clear that when the weakness has not become a dead hole, it is a good way to admit defeat as soon as possible, and use the only remaining strength as a bargaining chip to put gold on his face. The key is that Xie Shence hung them, and Cao Baqi figured out the meaning, so before Xie Shence's patience ran out and ate himself, he simply "admitted defeat".

In this way, when the dry firewood met the fire, although the two groups of people were clearly distinguishable and wary of each other, Xie Shence and Cao Baqi, as the leaders of the two sides, came together.

"I, Cao Da Snake, admire you, after all, you have killed a lot of corrupt officials, of course, it is a corrupt official of my Jin Kingdom, don't listen to those people who pretend to say, I don't believe that Dajin Zhongliang was assassinated by Yuchizi or something, although there are good people among them, but I think that most people can still be killed."

"Well, you may not understand what I said, after all, I, Cao Da Snake, am also a Jin person, so I am suspected of treason, but I am not an authentic Jin person, I am a Shandong horse bandit, Shandong horse bandit, you know, hehe, I took away your important leader last time, it was our fault, the compensation is not hey, there is no need to be so precious like gold, mother, you heard it? I can say idioms, you should be a very noble type of person among the people of Yan Guonan, right? The knowledge is not bad, you say, is my level just now considered powerful? ”

Xie Shence's face was tense, and he stingily popped out a two-word sentence or a few words from his mouth, despising Cao Baqi's self-familiarity and shamelessness, as well as his ruthless heart to a certain height. It's just that he doesn't make a sound on the surface, which is a bit unfathomable in Cao Baqi's opinion.

It is self-evident how cold such a person is to be able to have a very happy conversation with his enemies because of a meal - or at least to be happy with one person. Among them, because of the "determination" of Xie Shence's identity, the praise of Yuchi and the belittlement of the Jin people made Xie Shence's impression of this person several layers lower.

Xie Shence wasn't sure if the person in front of him who called himself Cao Da Snake had anything to do with the prince, but after the Shandong horse bandits absorbed the remnants of the Taihang Mountain bandits in the past few years, after being connected with the prince, the king of Qi and the court, it was not a short time to maintain a state of half-gray and not black. It stands to reason that they should be naturalized more deeply, but I didn't expect that the group of horse bandits in front of them still had no sense of belonging to the Jin Kingdom, and turning their faces and betraying them was like turning a book, as if they were having fun.

Xie Shence, who was not in a hurry to make substantial progress with Cao Baqi, listened with a straight face, either calmly or frowning, and his expression was extremely well matched.

Cao Baqi is not in a hurry, saying some of what he has seen and heard, mostly heard, adding his own imagination, saying very strongly, some appalling things, such as the two cities in the north and south of the Yellow River in Liaocheng Feicheng, there are often girls who compete in the situation missing, and a big family in Yanzhou because of their relationship with the government, robbed the four little sons of the opponent's family who were inferior in power relations and sent them to the liao village, abound.

Of course, Cao Baqi will also talk about a certain encounter with the Yan army at the border, and he can't help but cherish the past.

In the evening, Xie Shence and Li Yan Wang Xiao Wang discussed in the tent.

"According to the previous plan, I originally wanted to take advantage of the convenience of the Shandong horse bandits to go to Hebei Province to investigate the situation, but along the way, I'm afraid it won't go well, then Cao Da Snake decided that we are fish ponds, so if you want not to show the stuffing, it will be very difficult, if it has been revealed at this time that you want to go to Shandong but temporarily regret it, I am afraid that it will also be bitten and eaten They are not difficult, but it is best not to lose at present."

"According to a certain point of view, Shandong Road still has to go to the northwest can hold out for a while, Hebei Road can not be lost, there may be a turnaround in this way, if you don't go to the judgment of Fengzhi and Mr. Wang, the north is in chaos, maybe it will be the end of fragmentation"

"What General Li said is that he also thought that Hebei and Shandong still had to go, and since he had already hooked up with that group, it was not appropriate to give up at this time. That Cao Baqi is not a simple person, he is rough on the outside, but he is also delicate on the inside, it is hard to guarantee that he will not see something, and he may not be tempted intentionally."

Xie Shence said: "At this time, we still have to pretend to go down, if we really can't pretend to be able to adapt to the situation at that time, and really fight, our side is dominant after all, even if we really go to Shandong, it may not necessarily be our disadvantage, after all, as long as we go to a place where there are people, there are resources that can be used Our people, or strict orders, we must tighten our mouths"

Then he said something, Xiao Wang went to sleep—of course, he didn't necessarily sleep, Xie Shence and Li Yan Wang both lay down, looking at the sky through the tent with the skylight open.

"Master, I have always felt that when people die, they can go to another world, maybe I, grandpa, aunt, uncle, etc., are in another world at this time, Buddhism has reincarnation, I don't know if I should say this kind of thing at this time."

Over there, King Li Yan seemed to be lying in the dark, and he was silent for a while and said, "Fengzhi, you shouldn't think too much about it. I'm a soldier, so it's hard to say if there is an afterlife or something, maybe I don't believe it, but I still vaguely hope that there will be. ”

"When some people die, they actually hope that they are really dead and have no next life, because you can't be sure that they will be better off in the next life. Like me, the captains and battalion commanders. But sometimes I hope that if I die, they will wait somewhere, and then we will gather together there."

"Some people don't deserve to die, some people deserve to die"

Xie Shence listened to King Li Yan, who was so emotional for the first time, say this, and said softly: "Actually, I didn't plan to go to Hebei Province at first, because the people there are not dead or alive, and they have nothing to do with me, so I can keep the Guanwai Road left by the uncle, but in the end, I still have to go, maybe I am unwilling, and I am a little unbearable, Master, you haven't seen someone cook people, and they are afraid that others will snatch them from his bowl."
