Q11 Verse 11

In the eleventh stanza, Wu Ming did not answer him, but turned his gaze to the outside of the cave, outside, it was still dark, and the wind blew the bonfire at the entrance of the cave, as if an unknown monster was already waiting impatiently outside, as if he was snorting at the entrance of the cave.

He replied: "At the time of the battle in Kuruma, we fled in a hurry, and there was still a map of the march there. Now, the only way to do this is to take one step at a time and find someone nearby who is familiar with the environment. Let's see if there's a shortcut to go back, but if it doesn't work, ask the locals to take us to a crowded place, send someone to disguise it, and try our luck again. ”

When he said this, he was just a dead horse as a live horse doctor. Although Wu Ming still looks very calm now, he is anxious in his heart. But now that the command of this team, Tao Yu naturally won't care about it, Yan Hou is dead, and it fell on Wu Ming so inexplicably. He is now the backbone of more than 100 people. No matter how bitter your heart is, you can't just express it, and in this case, the impact on the morale of the army is even heavier.

Zuo Ying said: "My lord, my subordinates are waiting in this cave, and there may be unexpected gains." ”

Wu Ming was stunned and said, "How do you say this?" ”

Zuo Ying said: "Today's black eagle, I also asked Lan Feng to understand the situation, this kind of eagle is the species that the Blue Wolf Army often likes to raise, but the military eagle of the Southern Barbarians is dominated by brown snake eagles." It's not like that at all. If we stay here, we might be able to meet fellow villagers. ”

Wu Ming heard him say this, and his heart was also clear, and he was immediately overjoyed, grabbed the other party's shoulder and shook it again and again: "You kid, you are really a bit clever." When you say that, I really remember. That beast is really a black gold eagle commonly used by the Blue Wolf Army, and there is a half-point snake eagle there. ”

The so-called Green Wolf Army is the army led by Liao Qing, the governor of the southwest of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The five provinces in the west and the central and western provinces have the most complex topography, mountains, plains, basins, etc., all kinds of terrain. There is also a cloud crossing in the middle, which often has religious affairs. In addition, the ethnic composition of these five provinces is complex. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to manage, and the previous governors of the southwest were only in name. It is estimated that the only ones who can really command are the tens of thousands of Qingting troops stationed in the Qingting.

Since Liao Qing took over as governor of the southwest, he first promised the monks in Yundu not to interfere with each other's religious freedom. Then I don't know how to stabilize Persia, and then unite some chieftains of the local peoples. In short, after a period of "nonsense". He, the governor of the southwest, has done a real job. It's no longer just a title.

At that time, when he took these measures, he was impeached by many ministers, but when he finished the entire five southwestern provinces, no one dared to point a finger at him.

This Liao Qing reorganized the hundreds of thousands of troops in the southwest and unified them as the "Green Wolf" army, which was unrivaled for a while, and overshadowed the limelight of the other four governors.

Zuo Ying's body was shaken by Wu Ming like this, and he probably touched the sore spot, and his face turned pale suddenly, and beads of sweat rolled down his face. Seeing this, Wu Ming hurriedly let go of his hand and said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, I forgot about it when I was happy." But you're a bit of a ghost, kid. ”

Zuo Ying shook his head, took a breath, and replied: "Don't be too happy, adults, we don't know who the people who live in this cave are, and it's just speculation at the moment, not to mention, we don't know if people will go back to this cave or not." ”

Wu Ming stood up, slapped his palm violently, and said, "Since the other party left such a carving in the hole, he will definitely come back." We're just waiting here to see what's sacred. If you can really go back this time, you have made the first contribution. ”

Zuo Ying shook his head and said, "Don't say what you do, now I'm a cripple and I take a lot of things lightly." When I was injured in the past few days, I was thanks to Miss Ho's care. My lord, my subordinates hope that you will treat Miss He well in the future, and don't snub her because of the princess when the time comes. ”

Wu Ming's heart was shocked, and the excitement suddenly disappeared. "People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries." In the past few days, my mind has been full of how to walk back, but I have forgotten about this headache. In his heart, he naturally cares about He Yi very much. But for Xiao Ling, it is even more troublesome, the two have already made a marriage, and the world knows it. Now there is even more of a prince's promise.

For a while, he didn't know what to do, so he stayed where he was, and his heart was numb.

Thinking of this, he gently patted Zuo Ying's shoulder: "I know, I will take care of this matter, thank you for the reminder, don't worry, I will definitely not disappoint He Yi." Go and rest. I'm going out for a walk, maybe the owner of the black eagle will come tonight. ”

Zuo Ying opened his mouth, as if he had something to say, Wu Ming waved his hand at him, he had to bow slightly, and lay down with him, as for whether he slept or not, Wu Ming didn't have the heart to care about him now.

He carried the red night and walked out of the cave. Crossing the bonfire at the entrance of the cave, the stuffiness in the cave was suddenly missing, the mountain wind blew, and the woods "rattled". Let his mind be clear.

Looking out from the cave, it is a gloomy atmosphere, and when it comes out of the hole, the bright moonlight shines in from the cracks in the outer leaves, but it has a few more poetic feelings. Even the mountain breeze changed from a gloomy whimper to a breeze.

I hope I'm really worried too much, as the saying goes: there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Who can tell the things of this world? Maybe it's like taking a step out of the hole, but it's very different from what you expected.

Thinking of this, he shook his head violently and let go of these messy thoughts. Reach out and take off his coat, although the cave is also stuffy, but because of Tao Yu and He Yi's storage, he may not dare to take it off. Otherwise, He Yi will probably retreat when he sees him in the future.

As soon as I took off my coat, I realized that I was already soaked with sweat inside, and a wave of rancid breath rushed to the tip of my nose, but I immediately felt a sense of relief all over my body. He raised his head and couldn't help but drink softly, as if the stagnant breath in his chest had also dissipated a lot with this light drink.

Outside the entrance of the cave, the four soldiers of the Guards Battalion came out, bowed to Wu Ming and said, "My lord, why don't you go to rest?" ”

It's a night watchman, right?

Wu Ming fixed his eyes and saw that it was Lan Feng with the three soldiers, the moon was like water, leaking out of the forest, and it happened to shine on Lan Feng's body, Lan Feng's eyes were still a little red, obviously not recovering from the grief of his injured friend. But there were too many casualties in the Southern Expeditionary Army, and Wu Ming was also a little numb to this, he sighed and said: "I can't sleep, Lord Lan, why don't you go to sleep, just find someone else to do this night patrol." ”

Lan Feng replied, "I can't sleep either, so I'll come together to accompany my brothers." ”

As soon as he said this, there was a sound of sculpture in the night sky, the voice was extremely poignant, but there was a sense of hatred. A few people came back to their senses and looked up through the gap in the dense forest.

Above, there was a pitch-black endless sky, and countless stars were pressed by the full moon like a silver disk. It's even more bleak. An eagle owl was circling around the full moon. It was from its mouth that the piercing sound of the eagle sounded. It seemed to tear the entire lid of the pot apart.

"There are a few more people here! Did you hurt my eagle? In the dark, there was a soft humming at this time.

Wu Ming and the others came back to their senses and looked at the source of the sound.

Two figures emerged from the darkness in the forest behind them.

The two of them walked silently, like ghosts. Everyone saw two figures getting closer and closer, but they couldn't hear any sound. It's like two terrible ghosts crawling out of the underworld to ask for their lives. The moonlight is miserable, and the mountain breeze blows the woods. The flecks in the forest shook their clothes from time to time. makes the two look even more confused.

These are two martial arts masters, at least they are not weak in light work. This is the conclusion given by Wu Ming.

Lan Feng's mood at this time naturally couldn't be very good, seeing this, he shouted violently: "What is it, sneaky here!" ”

The two of them stood still a dozen steps away from the five of them, and when they heard Lan Feng say this, one of them smiled sideways and replied, "Just by your words, I will beat you to a point where you are not a thing later." ”

Now that they were standing closer, Wu Ming saw that both of them were wearing a wide black robe, covering their whole bodies tightly, and judging from this dress, they really couldn't see their specific identities.

He pulled Lan Feng and hurriedly asked, "Are the two locals?" ”

The two stood there, not answering, and after a long time, one of them asked, "Who are you?" ”

Wu Ming said: "We? Lost hunters are just that. ”

One of them laughed, as if he had heard something funny, and now Wu Ming heard that this person was a middle-aged man's voice. Apparently speaking in a falsetto voice just now.

What are they hiding?

The man laughed enough, then stopped his voice and said: "What kind of hunters, messy, you are the remnants of the Eastern Han Dynasty who escaped, hahahaha, I didn't expect that I was so lucky, the Southern Barbarians were looking everywhere in the mountains, but I could meet them unintentionally." I don't know if it's my luck or your bad luck. ”

Listening to his tone, the two of them are not Southern Barbarians, Wu Ming had a flash of inspiration in his mind, remembering the conversation with Zuo Ying just now, and suddenly became clear, are these two really from the Green Wolf Army? What are they doing in the deep mountains and old forests?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help blurting out: "Are you from the Green Wolf Army?" ”

The two of them shook at the same time, and the person who answered just now shouted even more: "Since you know, it will be even more difficult for you to stay." ”

After speaking, he said to another man in black: "Shallow stone, up, don't leave one!" ”
