After crossing two mountains in a row, the sky gradually darkened, and the shouting and killing in the distance also stopped, and there was a quiet all around, except for the "rustling" sound of the feet of the servants stepping on the fallen leaves, there was no other sound.

"Let's rest here." On the third mountain, Liu Wei stopped at the top of the mountain, he turned his head to look around, and said to Zhou Cang and Tang Ji who were following him: "The forests here are relatively dense, although you may not be able to find water and food, but it is an excellent place to sleep for one night. ”

"The concubine brought ......" As soon as Liu Wei mentioned the food, Tang Ji pursed his mouth and took out a small cloth bag from his arms.

Glancing at the cloth bag Tang Ji was holding in her hand, Liu Wei had a smile on her face, reached out and gently twisted her delicate little face, and said softly: "It's only been a few days, you can think of carrying food on the road, it's really not easy." ”

"The concubine just thought that her husband wanted to take me and wait for me to leave, and I was afraid that there would be no food on the way, so I secretly brought some." Tang Ji lowered his head, his pretty face flushed, and explained softly.

It's not that Liu Wei didn't think about bringing food, but the situation at that time didn't allow him to make so many preparations. With food on them, if Liu Pi found out, he would definitely be able to guess that they wanted to escape in the middle of the road, and they would cause more trouble.

The problem of food was solved, but there was no water source nearby, so Liu Wei searched around, but he did not see any trees that could sap like the southwest birch.

I couldn't find a water source, and I saw that it was getting darker again, and night was about to fall. It was a foolish decision to search for water in the woods at night, and he had no choice but to give up for the time being.

The servants shared a small packet of meat brought out by Tang Ji, and Zhou Cang chose a relatively high place with a better vision and lay down.

Liu Wei and Tang Ji got into a relatively hidden bush, and Liu Wei first set aside all the branches that might scratch Tang Ji before letting Tang Ji lie on the soft fallen leaves.

The dense woods kept out the night wind, the birds had returned to their nests, and the jungle was quiet except for the occasional howl or two of wild beasts from the distant hills.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and Zhou Cang's thunderous snoring sound was heard not far away, and Tang Ji in Liu Wei's arms had also fallen asleep.

Liu Wei didn't feel tired at all, he opened his eyes and looked at the pitch-black canopy above his head.

The dark shadows of the canopy of the trees were connected with the dark night sky, and although he was lying under the bushes, Liu Wei couldn't see the stars in the sky at all.

A "rustling" sound of footsteps came up from the bottom of the mountain, Liu Wei's eyes widened sharply, and one hand quickly pressed on the long sword placed beside him.

Zhou Cang's snoring had also stopped, and he must have heard the sound of someone going up the mountain and woke up.

The footsteps coming towards the hillside were very noisy, and it sounded like there were a lot of people, according to the chaos and loudness of the footsteps, Liu Wei roughly estimated the number of people on the other side, at least about a hundred people!

Zhou Cang, who was lying not far away, moved quietly, and he cautiously burrowed into the bushes not far from Liu Wei and Tang Ji.

Liu Wei sat up vigilantly, and Tang Ji beside him also woke up in a daze at this time, glanced at him and asked, "Why did Husband get up?" ”

As soon as Tang Ji spoke, Liu Wei hurriedly reached out to cover her little mouth and sighed softly.

His mouth was covered by Liu Wei, Tang Ji stared at him with round eyes, and nodded his head twice.

Letting go of the hand covering Tang Ji's mouth, Liu Wei drew his long sword and moved closer to the edge of the bushes.

The footsteps became clearer and clearer, and a man with a yellow scarf appeared in Liu Wei's sight. Finding out that it was a Yellow Turban Army, Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

The Yellow Turban Army is currently unable to protect itself, except for seeing He Man, how can others have the leisure to come to them for trouble.

The first Yellow Turban Army appeared, and Liu Wei saw that behind him, followed by a string of Yellow Turban soldiers who were cautiously groping their way like blind people.

All the Yellow Turban Army are implicated by a rope, the Yellow Turban Army who walks in the front explores the way for everyone, and the Yellow Turban Army behind them are like playing eagles and holding chickens, connecting in a string to grope for the mountain.

Zhou Cang is right, most people in this era are night blind. The reason why the officers and soldiers did not pursue the Yellow Turban Army at night was probably also because most of the soldiers could not see at night.

The Yellow Turban Army walking in front must be one of the few who can see normally at night, and he led the soldiers behind him to slowly rub towards the place where Liu Wei and the others were dormant.

In the bushes not far away, Zhou Cang poked his head out and looked at Liu Wei. Liu Wei made an interception gesture to Zhou Cang.

Nodding his head at Liu Wei, Zhou Cang drew his long sword, jumped out of the bushes, blocked in front of those Yellow Turban Army, and asked in a low voice, "Whose subordinate are you?" ”

Zhou Cang suddenly jumped out, startling the Yellow Turban Army in the lead, and the more than 100 Yellow Turban Army who followed him were also in a riot.

Everyone knows that they are like blind people at the moment, as long as they rush out of more than a dozen officers and soldiers with normal visual strength, they will all become ghosts under the knife in an instant.

The Yellow Turban Army in the lead took two steps backwards, and the Yellow Turban Army behind was in a commotion, and even several people did not step on their feet steadily, and fell to the ground with their butts.

"Zhou ...... General Zhou! Although Zhou Cang did not stay in Liu Bi's military camp for too long, many officers and soldiers in Liu Bi's military camp recognized his appearance, and the Yellow Turban Army who led the way happened to be one of them. ”

"You're good!" Before Zhou Cang could speak, Liu Wei walked out from behind the bushes, inserted the long sword into the scabbard, and when he arrived in front of the leading Yellow Turban soldier, he patted him lightly on the shoulder and said, "You have the ability to escape, but you have to leave with so many brothers, you are very affectionate and can take care of the overall situation." ”

"Thank you, sir, for the compliment!" Seeing that it was Liu Wei who spoke, the Yellow Turban soldiers hurriedly bowed down and hugged their fists and thanked him.

"Have you seen Shan Fu?" Liu Wei was always most concerned about Xu Shu, and praised the Yellow Turban Army, and he asked about Xu Shu's whereabouts.

The leading Yellow Turban soldiers shook their heads, then turned back to the group of Yellow Turban soldiers following behind him and asked, "Brothers, which of you has seen Mr. Shan?" ”

The more than 100 Yellow Turban soldiers all shook their heads, and a look of confusion appeared on their faces.

No one saw Xu Shu, Liu Wei was very disappointed, just when he wrinkled his brows, thinking about Xu Shu's possible whereabouts, the leading Yellow Turban soldiers continued: "There are more than a thousand brothers under the mountain who are surrounded by the official army, and now the night is dark, and the official army has not launched an attack, will Mr. Shan ...... there?" ”

Glancing at the Yellow Turban Army in front of him, Liu Wei furrowed his brows slightly.

Although there were more than 100 Yellow Turban soldiers standing in front of him, except for the leader one, the rest were like blind people at this time, unable to see at all.

All the Yellow Turban Army looked like mourners, like eggplants beaten by frost, wilted and dead, without any life. Mo said that they couldn't see with their eyes, even if all of them had normal vision, it was impossible to take such a team to rescue Xu Shu.

"Brothers." Looking at this group of Yellow Turban Army, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and asked them: "There is something I really want to ask you." ”

"Sir, please." The leading Yellow Turban soldier bowed slightly, looked at Liu Wei with some apprehension, and answered softly.

"I want to know why you joined the Yellow Turban Army in the first place?" Liu Wei's gaze swept over the faces of more than a hundred shimmering Yellow Turban soldiers, and asked in a low voice.

Hearing this question, all the Yellow Turbans were at a loss, and they didn't know how to answer him.

"My old lady is starving to death......" After a long while, the leading Yellow Turban soldier lowered his head and muttered in response.

Then a few Yellow Turban soldiers also followed and said: "When I become a Yellow Turban, I can eat a mouthful of food......

"That's why you joined the army?" Liu Wei smiled slightly, shook his head slowly, sighed lightly and said, "Brothers, being a soldier and fighting is to die, do you put your lives in order to eat a meal?" ”

"Death of hunger is death, and death is death if you fight...... another Yellow Turban soldier took over Liu Wei's words.

"Well said!" Liu Wei nodded, gave a thumbs up to the Yellow Turban soldier who spoke, and said, "What this brother said is good, but it is not right!" Starving to death is bound to die, and there may be a way to live if you fight! ”

Including Zhou Cang, everyone listened carefully to what Liu Wei said, even Tang Ji, who was still sitting in the bushes, was full of thoughtfulness.

For Liu Bian, this sentence is not just words. If he was willing to accept his fate, it would be impossible for him to escape from the Luoyang Palace, let alone stand with these Yellow Turban Army today.

"I want to tell you that the reason why you joined the Yellow Turban Army is not just to eat, but to be able to live!" Liu Wei frowned slightly, faced the more than 100 Yellow Turban Army, and continued to say to them: "Today is the same as when you first joined the Yellow Turban Army, if you escape, you will definitely die, and you may live!" ”

"There are officers and soldiers everywhere, how to fight?" Before Liu Wei's words fell, the leading Yellow Turban soldiers said with a bitter face: "The army of tens of thousands of people has been defeated by the official army, and we are only more than 100 people, how can we fight the official army?" ”

"It's not in the crowd, but in your heart!" Liu Wei gently poked the heart of the leading Yellow Turban soldiers twice with his index finger, and said to all the Yellow Turban soldiers: "You must understand what you are fighting for!" Now the officers and soldiers are chasing us, fighting is the only hope to survive, save the brothers who are besieged, everyone twists into a rope, and kills the officers and soldiers in fear and subdued! Only then can we live well! ”
