In the vast grassland, more than 100 cavalry are galloping at high speed, and this goose wing marching method in order to reduce the damage of smoke and dust to the eyes of people and horses is very spectacular.

Usually in the Central Plains, it is a very spectacular sight to have thirty or fifty horsemen in parallel, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see it at all. Like Xie Shence, he went out with the black armor guard several times, and it was spectacular, but it was all covered, on the one hand, to avoid disturbing the people, and on the other hand, it was also in the consideration of secrecy.

Hundreds of cavalry in parallel, or even thousands of people galloping on horseback, is not too uncommon for ordinary people in the north. Often when harvesting crops or grazing sheep, there are large groups of strange soldiers blowing by the wind around them.

Two hundred people are really small in the steppe. At least to the eagle in the sky, it's a row of ants.

What really makes people's hearts sway, or the war of more than 10,000 people, countless men died generously, and wrote poems that belong to soldiers with blood and life, which is a chapter of sadness and majesty.

He Ruoque took two hundred fish to ride in order to find Xie Shence, or in other words, if they couldn't find Xie Shence, they would go to find death.

The failure to hunt down Yu Wenyong cast a shadow on He Ruoque's whole person, and this is not the main reason, the real reason is that he lost Xie Shence.

Losing his wife and breaking his army, this sentence seems to be specially designed for He Ruoque, which made He Ruoque feel unprecedented shame.

Wang Jiehua and Wang Qingyan naturally didn't say anything, but He Ruoque had a knot in his heart. They didn't say anything on the surface, and they wouldn't say anything in private, but they didn't necessarily have nothing to do in their hearts. The change of human feelings, since he was exterminated, he has been wandering, and then he has lived under the fence of the Xie family for so many years, and he has a deep understanding.

He Ruoque went to Jindu with Xie Shenwei and took away his niece, although what he said was not bad, but He Ruoque is not a fool, how can he not see He Ruoque's efforts to cover up in the letter?

It is impossible for Princess Jinyang not to have a grudge against his sister for "abducting" Xie Shenwei, even if she released kindness to He Ruoque before, but Xie Shenwei at that time did not go back after his head cramped and died, which turned Princess Jinyang's compromise into a surging fighting spirit, and it was reasonable that He Ruoque had a hard time.

He didn't tell anyone about this, because he also knew that saying this kind of thing would only embarrass the Xie family, and by the way, he didn't have a good face for He Ruoque. The strength of the "relatives" is the greatest guarantee for the safety of the mother and daughter.

He Ruoque understands this, and he also understands that the person who can influence Xie Shenwei to the greatest extent is actually Xie Shence. Only by becoming the most important person by Xie Shence's side can he make Xie Shenwei continue to be good to his sister regardless of everything.

He Ruoque believed in this bond, and Xie Shenwei also understood that while he really liked He Ruoque, he also wanted to squeeze out the last drop of his brother-in-law's value.

The nobles are incompatible, and the Xie family seems to be an exception, but the Xie family is still the same as an ordinary family to people outside the Xie family. There will be exploitation of deception and vile harm. The shiny back of the nobility is a whirlpool that devours people's hearts and flesh.

Once you enter this whirlpool, it is bound to be difficult to get out. He Ruoque doesn't blame Xie Shenwei for becoming more and more calm and insidious, nor does he blame Princess Jinyang's earnestness, let alone her sister's stubbornness, but just blames herself for being incompetent.

After he knew that Xie Shenwei saved their brother and sister only for his sister, he knew from his sister's eyes that he had no spirit for several years but was instantly radiant, that he might not be able to get out in this life, and he would only fall deeper and deeper, so he could only move forward. Therefore, he will be very desperate to kill Xie Shence, even if it is a head-on death battle, Murong Cheng, who is not sure of victory at all, will not back down. This is his persistence. Or rather, to protect the bonds of his beloved sister.

The central point he does all this is his sister. And the most critical figure among them is not even Xie Shenwei, but Xie Shence.

Now Xie Shence is lost, and I don't know whether I live or die. His only focus to contain Xie Shenwei was gone.

Putting aside He Ruoque's true feelings for Xie Shence, this is the foundation of his relationship with the Xie family.

On the one hand, He Ruoque told himself in his heart that Xie Shence would not die so easily, and on the other hand, he told himself that he had to be prepared to die.

If Xie Shence dies, then he will also die, and he will die if he wants to die and if he doesn't want to die. The Xie family will not let him go, the Northwest Army will not let him go, and Xie Shenwei will not let him go. So he only had to die.

Jiang Qi was able to trust him very much at this time, Wang Jiehua still supported him, and he led the troops to find Xie Shence, this trust and disguised protection made He Ruoque very moved. However, even so, before leaving, he still wrote a letter to Wang Jiehua, saying that if he couldn't come back, he would give the letter to his sister. Wang Jiehua agreed without saying anything, which made him even more grateful, and at the same time even less optimistic about the success of this trip.

There are not many things that can make Wang Jiehua nod so solemnly, except for a few of them, all of them are about Xie Shence, and he was naturally very moved by Wang Jiehua's promise.

Wang Jiehua promised not to treat He Ruoque badly, so He Ruoque could die calmly.

Thirty miles outside the border, the first group of Xianbei people was encountered, and the cavalry of that tribe was very fierce and organized more than a hundred cavalry to intercept them, but they were completely crippled by the fish horsemen just by the way, and then they were slaughtered a lot of cattle and forage, and were led away about twenty good horses.

As the grassland went deeper, there were more Xianbei people, so there was a second and third group of fish riders began to have casualties that could not be ignored, and the number dropped to one hundred and seventy people, and the captain of the fish cavalry once hinted that He Ruoque might be able to leave ten to fifteen people to escort the wounded back, but He Ruoque refused, and in the end only five people were arranged for the more than ten wounded to escort them.

This was almost a no-nonsense approach, which caused dissatisfaction among some soldiers, but in the next few battles, the difference between one more and one less became apparent, so the sarcastic complaints about He Ruoque decreased a lot. But there are still some people who are worried about what will happen to them if they are injured.

For such a person, He Ruoque only said one sentence to shut everyone up.

"Those who are afraid of death, stand behind me when they rush to kill later. Lao Tzu will protect you. ”

He Ruoque was injured, but it was not a big problem. The food and water also kept up, so everything looked pretty good.

Forty miles away, a young man with a delicate face sat on the grass and talked to his subordinates.

"According to the itinerary, it will be coming soon"

"The remnants of the He Ruo family have been killed"

"Anyway, it's his fault, even if he kills all this cavalry, the father won't say anything"

After a few short words, the subordinates rolled up the map, and then a hundred cavalry mounted their horses and began to run.

Black clouds crush the city.

Half a quarter of an hour later, He Ruoque saw Yu Wenshi who smelled the smell.

What followed was a battle to the death. Yuwen Shi killed more than 40 people in the battle and retreated, and Yu Yu rode at the cost of 20 people to break through the line of fire.

He Ruoque was stabbed in the thigh in order to save a squad leader. The captain's face was extremely bad at this time. Before, he was the most dissatisfied with He Ruoque's almost ruthless practice of ignoring the wounded soldiers, and at this time, what He Ruoque said was really fulfilled - Lao Tzu will protect you, and he was naturally extremely embarrassed in his heart.

The team leader watched He Ruoque bandage his wound without saying a word, and then followed behind He Ruoque without saying a word, almost not leaving an inch.

Yuwen Shi was followed by Yuwen Du, and then Yuwen Fox. Three of the eight tribes came at once. Fortunately, there were not many of them, no more than a hundred.

The Fisherman went from two hundred to one hundred and sixteen, and then to one hundred and thirteen, one hundred and one, and ninety-seven. When he finally reached the edge of the area of civil strife in the Duan Division, with He Ruoque, there were a full ninety people.

Ninety people in Xilin, where there is civil strife, is not a force at all, on the contrary, it will become the object of the merger of major forces. Wooing? Hehe, the generals are busy looting money and expanding their strength, how can they have time to talk nonsense with you?

Eat meat with Lao Tzu, eat meat with those who don't talk about conditions, eat knives without being verbose, it's that simple.

Ninety people and horses are not a small target after all, and it is really difficult to hide their whereabouts, so the situation of He Ruoque and the others suddenly became dangerous.

It is not easy to continue to trace the traces of Xie Shence through such a large area. Although he deliberately avoided Heishui County and took a shortcut before, he lost more than half of it, but it saved time, and if it was a detour in front of him, it would be an extra trip of nearly thousands of miles and several days, and He Ruoque could not afford to delay.

So he was ready to fight quickly, find the most convenient way, and use the shortest time to cross Xilin, where war could break out anytime and anywhere.

In three days, relying on the rich experience of He Ruoque and the old scouts of the Yu Yu Cavalry, he walked four-fifths of the way without danger, and when he was about to completely pass through Xilin, he was intercepted by Yi Zhi and led five hundred cavalry.

A breathless standoff ensued

In the Nanren settlement, a much smaller but more tense confrontation is also taking place.

"You bastards, get out of the way quickly, come to search on the orders of Lord Gu Hun, and dare to stop it? Is it a rebellion?! ”

"So what? How have you ever considered us to be your own? ”

"Inferior bloodline, of course you are not worthy of being your own people, but since your feet are the land of my Yan country, you must obey the orders of my Yan people!"

"Don't let it! Even Gu Hun came in person, which is also the sentence! ”

"Mutt guts!"

"Say it again!"

"I'm afraid you won't make it"

Xie Shence lay on the bed, secretly disdainful. The settlement is not large, and he has good hearing, so he can hear the confrontation and scolding outside.

The burly old man playing with the knife had already gone out, and the old poison was not in the mood to tease the Gu King with Xie Shence's blood, Zhang Yuanjia was arranging for the young and strong, ready to deal with the strong attack that the official messenger might launch at any time.

Some of the song girls didn't have any emotion on their faces, and Xie Shence shook his head secretly when he looked at them.

He only knows one girl here, that is, the servant is sorry that the servant is a boy, okay, he doesn't know any of them, except for the servant who is a little worried, none of these girls show any worry or anxiety, which makes Xie Shence extremely strange.

Aren't these people out there their relatives? Immediately, a strange look flashed on Xie Shence's face, and when he looked at them again, his eyes changed.

Zhang Yuanjia said that there is no concept of wives and children here, because women are the only people who can bring about a turnaround in the family, so most of them will be sent to noble homes when they become adults, in exchange for money and status. However, how many can stand up to enter the rich house? The vast majority of people are tired of playing and then fight back.

And these women who were brought back, the children they gave birth to, will naturally be driven back together.

After thinking about it clearly, Xie Shence looked at them and felt deep sympathy and incomprehension.

What is the deformed level of desire for power and money that will create such a group of people?

(PS: It's five hundred chapters, hesitant to write a feeling or something, but in the end it's not done, because I feel hypocritical, and there's more to come.) Let's go down together)
