There were a few people standing on the first line of heaven at the entrance of Thundercloud Castle, led by the castle lord Lei Yun and Zhao Youde, and there were several retinues standing behind them.

Hua'an, Thunderstorm, and Zhao Wu have been going to Yecheng for two full days, less than fifty miles away, and they can return on the same day, why haven't they come back after two days.

Both of them were a little worried, after all, they both had only one son, and Hua An was also Han Qian's apprentice, and any mistake by anyone would be difficult for them to bear.

"Why haven't you come back yet, do you want to send someone to Yecheng to look for it." Thunderclouds became a little impatient and gradually became agitated.

When Zhao Youde heard this, he persuaded: "Don't worry, maybe they haven't found out the news yet, the army's southern expedition is a confidential matter, how can it be found out lightly." ”

Seeing Zhao Youde say this, Lei Yun's heart let go a lot, but there was still a trace of worry on his brows, and it was impossible for him to completely let go of his heart if he didn't see the three of them come back in person.

"Castle master, look, smoke and dust, are they back from the young castle master." A sharp-eyed retinue shouted.

When Lei Yun and Zhao Youde heard this, they looked up, and sure enough, there was sand and dust on the road ahead, and there were few people in this area, and someone came on horseback, almost certainly the three of them were Hua'an.

Lei Yun and Zhao Youde glanced at each other, and a knowing smile appeared on their faces.

"Driving ......"

Hua An and Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu galloped in the direction of Thundercloud Castle.

"There's a silver lining ahead, and we're almost home." When the thunderstorm saw a glimmer of sky, he felt very kind in his heart.

When Hua'an heard this, he looked up and saw that the two towering peaks standing opposite each other were not far away, although it was not Hua'an's hometown, but after all, he had stayed there, and Hua'an also had some kindness in his heart.

"Look, there seems to be someone ahead, could it be Dad and Uncle Lei there." Zhao Wu's eyes were sharp, and he was the first to see a few figures above the world.

When Hua An and Thunderstorm heard this, they took a closer look, and sure enough, there was a row of people standing there in front of them, as if waiting for them.

"It must be Uncle Lei, Uncle Zhao, let's speed up, don't let them wait for a long time, drive ......."

After Hua An finished speaking, he raised his horsewhip and whipped the horse's buttocks, and was the first to rush forward.

"Driving ......"

Seeing Hua'an speeding up, Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu were not far behind, and followed closely behind Hua'an, riding their horses forward to catch up.

#######

"Uncle Lei, Uncle Zhao."

"Uncle Lei, Dad."

"Uncle Zhao, Dad."

Hua'an, Thunderstorm, and Zhao Wu ran to the first line of the sky, and when they got off the horse, they hugged their fists to meet Lei Yun and Zhao Youde.

The hearts of the two suddenly bloomed, and they hurriedly helped the three of them up.

"How's it going, how is the mission done?" Lei Yun looked at the three of them and asked with a smile.

In fact, he also asked knowingly, and from the confident eyes of the three of them, he could guess that he must have completed the task smoothly.

"Worthy of the mission."

Hua An spoke in unison with Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu, and his face was full of pride after speaking.

"Hahaha! Great, I know you guys won't let me down. Thundercloud laughed and praised.

Zhao Youde was also overjoyed, and the three of them came back safely, and his heart was also put down.

When he saw that the three of them were in the dust, and all of them were injured, he knew that they must have encountered something in the past two days, so he asked, "Why are they all injured and have encountered any difficulties?" ”

"It's just a small thing, it's not worth mentioning." Zhao Wu replied very lightly.

Lei Yun suddenly saw the three of them, he was too happy in his heart, and he didn't even notice that the three of them were injured, and at this time, listening to Zhao Youde's question, he found that the three of them all had different scars, especially Hua An's arm was still obviously new.

"It's windy, let's talk about what to do in the fort." Lei Yun saw that the three of them were injured, and hurriedly beckoned everyone back to the dock fort.

Hua An, Thunderstorm, and Zhao Wu led the war horse side by side, and followed Thundercloud and Zhao Youde to Wubao.

########

In the main hall of Thundercloud Castle, Hua'an and Thunderstorm, Zhao Wujiang informed Lei Yun and Zhao Youde in detail about the news and the things encountered in the past two days.

The two were also taken aback when they heard this, they didn't expect Shi Hu to raise a large army of 150,000 troops to march south, such a huge force showed Shi Hu's ambition to annex Jiangnan.

The power of the Hu people's iron cavalry, they have all seen it, and the Jin family has experienced the Wang Dun Rebellion and the Su Jun Rebellion one after another, and now what is the combat strength, whether they can resist such a powerful force, they have no bottom in their hearts.

Lei Yun and Zhao Youde glanced at each other, and said softly: "This time Shi Hu sent an army of 150,000 troops to the south, Jiangnan will definitely be overwhelmed, if you can inform General Han of the news one day earlier, maybe the loss will be smaller, Hua'an, you leave for Jiangnan early tomorrow morning." ”

"What Uncle Lei said is that Hua'an also has this intention." Hua An very much agreed with Lei Yun's suggestion.

"Dad, I'm going too." Thunderstorm pleaded.

"Well, and me." Zhao Wu naturally will not lag behind.

Zhao Youde glanced at Lei Yun and agreed: "It's better to let the two of them accompany Hua'an to Jiangnan, so that we can greet General Han on our behalf." ”

Hearing this, Lei Yun nodded, he had already planned to do so, after all, the child was almost an adult, and it was time to go out and practice.

"Okay, early tomorrow morning, the three of you will lead a hundred strong men in the fort to Jiangnan immediately." Thundercloud made a decision.

"Also, the little county lord is a royal bloodline, and she can't succumb to a small dock fort, Jiangnan Jiankang is the capital of my Great Jin, and that's where she should go." Zhao Youde added.

Hua An hugged his fists and said: "The two uncles rest assured, Hua An will definitely live up to his mission, first go back to the barracks to inform the master of the news of Shi Hu's southward journey, and then do his best to send the little county lord back to the capital Jiankang safely."

"Dad, Uncle Zhao, don't worry, Zhao Wu and I will definitely do our best to assist Brother Hua and ensure that nothing goes wrong." Thunderstorm looked confident.

Zhao Wu was not far behind, and said loudly: "Uncle Lei, Dad, Shihu's army is going south, as a citizen of the Great Jin Dynasty, Zhao Wu also wants to do his part, this time I went to Jiangnan, I and Lei Storm have already discussed, we must join General Han's command and fight a bloody battle with the Hu army, in order to make up for the regrets in the hearts of Uncle Lei and my father for many years." ”

When Lei Yun and Zhao Youde heard this, they felt a lot of emotion in their hearts for a while, Zhao Wu was right, they had regrets in their hearts for many years.

After all, no matter what the reason, it was their fault to disobey the military order and cross the Yellow River north without authorization, and deep down, they actually always wanted to follow Han Qian.

At this time, their son wants to make up for their years of regret, how can they not be excited in their hearts.

Lei Yun and Zhao Youde glanced at each other, and both of them immediately laughed, but there was a hint of crying in the laughter.

"Okay, good, you've all grown up, and it's time to take on the responsibility of defending your family and country, I, Lei Yun, am proud of you." Lei Yun said with red eyes.

Zhao Youde added: "Since you want to join the army and serve the country, you must obey General Han's orders, and you must not disobey military orders like we did back then, remember, remember." ”

"Well, we remember." Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu said in unison, and there was excitement in their eyes after speaking.

"Okay, after two days of hard work, you go and rest first." Lei Yun saw that everything had been arranged, so he urged Hua'an and the three of them to rest.

When Hua An, Thunderstorm, and Zhao Wu heard this, they clasped their fists and went back to their rooms to rest.

After a morning of tracking, the three degraded Dragon Guards finally arrived at the entrance of the First Layer of Heaven.

The steep peaks on either side scared them, and they feared an ambush ahead, so they hovered at the entrance and refused to move forward.

"After the valley ahead, it must be their foothold, let's go back and tell the king!" A timid guard said as he was leaving.

"No, you don't know the king's temper, in case the three of them just pass by here, there is no nest in front of them, and the army is in the air, we must be in a different place." The sober guard objected.

"Okay, you go to explore the road first, and the two of us stay here to meet you." The timid guard pushed the boat down the river and said slyly.

"Hmph, coward, you two help me lead the horse, and I'll come when I go." The guard, who had a calm personality, jumped off his horse and walked into the first line of heaven.

The reason why he chose to enter on foot was to hide himself as much as possible, so as not to be discovered, after all, he also felt that most of the places in front of him were where Hua'an and the others had stayed.

The neighing of the war horse would spread far away, and if his whereabouts were exposed, with the force of Hua'an and the three of them, he would not have much chance of surviving at all.

He hunched over and walked forward cautiously, due to the lack of sunlight, the road was dark and damp, the air inside was cold, and he felt his body tremble involuntarily.

Trembling and walking through the sky, he finally discovered Thundercloud Castle, but the strong man of Thundercloud Castle did not find him.

"There is such a large dock fort here, at least a thousand people, and it must be a great achievement to tell the king." A sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he quietly retreated to the sky, and then ran wildly.

Running out of the first line of the sky, he immediately rode on a war horse, raised his whip, and rode towards Yecheng.

The other two guards, not understanding what was happening, thought that someone was chasing after him, and galloped after him.

########

At the east gate of Yecheng, Sun Fudu, the general of Long Xiang, had a solemn face, and what appeared in front of him was the corpses of a hundred soldiers, all of which had just been transported from the grove fifteen miles outside the city.

That is, the hundred pursuers shot by the Yan State Eagle Iron Cavalry, at this moment their bodies are still full of arrows, and they look like hedgehogs from a distance.

Who did it, Sun Fu couldn't figure it out for a while, although the vicinity of Yecheng has not been peaceful, but most of the soldiers killed were caused by being alone, and in front of him were a full hundred heavily armed soldiers.

Who has such a great ability to kill these hundred people in an instant, and shoot so many arrows, it is obvious that it is definitely not a few people who can do it, but hundreds, or even thousands.

If there are really a few thousand people, where would so many people hide? Sun Fudu couldn't help frowning.
