The people who sneaked in the middle of the night were not so smooth, firstly, their purpose was obvious, secondly, they did not dare to rush forward with torches, thirdly, their horse's hooves wrapped in cotton cloth could not go fast, and finally, they sneaked secretly, and they had to carefully divert the route of anyone they met, compared to those who did not hesitate to raise torches and pull a wide net to catch up, the speed was worse than a little and a half, and they ran for less than an hour, and they were about to be caught up.

Seeing that there were more and more stars behind him, Wang Tai came to Duan Fei's side worriedly, and said to him: "Lord Duan, our goal is too big, and if we run again, we will be caught up sooner or later, not only can we not protect the adults, but will drag down the adults, I suggest that the adults part ways with us now, and the adults can continue to the west, there are about to enter the mountains and forests, there are few adults, and no matter how many of them escape into the mountains and forests, they can't catch up with the adults, and we will turn north to bypass the past and lead away the pursuers for the adults, how about we gather on Duoyan Mountain tomorrow?" ”

The time was urgent, Duan Fei was not polite to him, he promised: "Okay, take care of everyone!" Rong'er, big brother, let's stop! ”

Duan Fei stopped his horse, Wang Tai turned to the front and looked at Duan Fei with a look of appreciation on his face, only to see Duan Fei dismount and shout: "It's important to escape, everyone take the cloth wrapped around the horse's hooves, let's rush to the west with all our strength, and it will be safe to escape into the mountains." ”

Everyone quickly unwrapped the cotton cloth wrapped around the horse's hooves, and when they got on their horses again, they had already fallen to the tail of the Black Dragon Guard, and the seven men took the opportunity to turn, and they ran westward with a sound.

The undisguised sound of hooves soon attracted the attention of the Tatars, who shouted and pounced on Duan Fei and them, but instead gave Wang Tai and them a chance, I really don't know if his suggestion to part ways and escape was good or evil.

An arrow swept over Duan Fei's side and disappeared into the grass, the fact that he could see at night did not take advantage of it in the bright moonlight, the Tatars were superb in riding, and the fastest had already chased within the range, and the cold arrows shot from time to time were terrifying, and the rabble in the mouths of these kings was not easy to deal with!

Duan Fei raised his bow and shot two arrows when he looked back, the chain of arrows in the dark was even more difficult to prevent, and soon after the two arrows were shot, the neighing of the horse and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground sounded behind them.

More cold arrows responded, fortunately there was Su Rong guarding Duan Fei's side, otherwise he would have to defend against cold arrows and attack the nearest enemy, and he was really a little too busy.

After turning around and shooting two more arrows, Duan Fei saw that a large piece of firelight had already fanned them around, Duan Fei was startled, turned around and shouted, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't be wrapped in dumplings!" ”

Everyone hurried up, the speed barely increased a little more, and more and more arrows rained down, and Duan Fei's occasional return shot of one or two arrows could not deter the Tatars from approaching at all, and they had already fully entered the range of the Tatars.

Fortunately, the shadow of the mountain range had appeared in front of them, and everyone rushed forward, brandishing their weapons at the same time, and the arrows that came from the stall were chopped, and the Tatars behind also understood the truth of Feng Lin Mojin, they stepped up their attacks, and the rain of arrows shone on Duan Fei and them like locusts.

At this time, everyone's strength was clearly displayed, Yuantong and Qinglan didn't pay attention to these arrow rains, every time they swung their swords out of the sword, they blew the arrows away like a falling leaf like a strong wind, Shi Yufeng and Duan Fei were too busy to take care of themselves, and the other had to turn around and shoot arrows, fortunately, with everyone's care, they were okay for the time being.

The woods were in front of them, and the Tatars behind them actually shot rockets, nailed them to the trunks of trees, and landed in the grass, igniting a raging fire, trying to stop Duan Fei and them from moving forward, and there were even more fierce and skilled Tatar warriors, bypassing Duan Fei and them, outflanking them from both wings, if they were successfully encircled, Duan Fei and they would still be able to fight their way out of the encirclement, but they would inevitably pay a certain price.

The sinister smile on the faces of the Tatars who were outflanked from both sides was vivid, Duan Fei calculated the time, put five arrows on the string, and suddenly shot at the Tatars rushing from the left flank.

Duan Fei shot not the first Tatar of the left flank, nor the second or third, but the fifth, sixth, and seventh......

Five arrows in a row, as imperceptible as a wisp of green smoke in the dark, but those warriors were the elite of Tatar after all, they Qingyan saw Duan Fei firing arrows twenty steps away, and before the sound of the strings came, they had already raised their sabers, their eyes were wide to the extreme, and they barely saw a few black shadows shooting over, and they subconsciously slashed down.

When the sound of the five arrows did not enter the hearts of the horses under the crotches of the Tatars, the sabers of the Tatars fell from the phantom left by the arrows, and the feeling of cutting them out instantly made them lose their center of gravity, and then the horses under the crotch neighed in pain and fell to the ground with a bang, and five people, five horses, and people rolled to the ground at high speed on their backs, blocking the Tartars behind them.

The Tatars who rushed ahead had already lowered their bows and raised their sabers in their hands, when they suddenly heard a low shout, and their wrists ached almost at the same time, and the sabers in their hands fell down at the same time.

They were shocked, and thought that they had fallen under the enemy's spell, and just when they were stunned, Yuantong and the others had already escorted Duan Fei and rushed in front of the Tatars, and these Tatars looked at the enemy's back, and they didn't even catch up.

In the blink of an eye, Duan Fei and the others got into the mountains, and the Tatars were afraid that Duan Fei's arrows were really difficult to resist in the dark, so they didn't dare to chase after them, and the person who had outflanked the head from the right flank came to the four people on the left flank, and asked loudly: "Hadan Battle, what happened to you just now?" Why did you let those Han people go? ”

Hadanbatel said in horror: "Don't you see? My hand suddenly seemed to be bitten by the devil, and the saber was taken away by the devil. ”

"That's right, I've never seen such a fast arrow, it must have been a spell, I don't think even Zhebei's arrow is that fast." Said a Tatar who got up from the ground.

Jebe is the Mongolian word for archer, the most famous Jebe in history is one of the four dogs under Genghis Khan, the Jebe general, these Mongols compared Duan Fei's arrows with Jebe, and even surpassed them, even if there is a psychology of shirking responsibility, Duan Fei is enough to be proud.

A Tatar was surprised: "Han Chinese? You say they are Han? ”

The other Tatars also came to their senses, and exclaimed one after another, and Hadanbart said in a very affirmative tone: "Yes, they are all Han Chinese, and we seem to have chased the wrong person." ”

The man who questioned Hadanbalt just now said: "This is not wrong, they are in the same group as those Jurchens, since they are lost here, then we should hurry up and chase those Jurchens." ”

The Tartars roared away, not even thinking of sending a pursuer deep into the mountains to continue their tracking, and the word spell frightened them.

Although there were no pursuers behind them, Duan Fei and they were not having a good time in the mountains, they had already entered the edge of the Great Khing'an Mountains, the road began to be bumpy, there was no guide to lead, it was very dangerous to walk in the mountains, and after a while, Duan Fei and they were completely lost.

Walking around the mountains often encountering dangers outside the terrain, everyone was vigilantly leading their horses to walk in the dense forest, and suddenly, Qinglan, who was walking in the front, stopped and whispered, "Did you hear any sounds?" ”

Everyone stopped, listened carefully, only felt that there was no sound except for the whistling mountain wind, but the horses around them were frightened, they desperately retreated, snorting, suddenly, a sudden but soft and slight footsteps from the left side of the hill quickly approached, everyone looked back, couldn't help but be shocked, only to see a nearly two-meter-long golden-eyed white-fronted tiger with an unstoppable momentum, swooping down from the hillside, the target was Shaolin Yuantong - the big horse beside him.

At first glance, the majesty of the king of beasts made Yuantong, who had a stunt, dare not resist rashly, he pushed the mount sideways two steps with one palm, the Siberian tiger pounced in the air, and turned around and pounced on the horse after landing, Yuantong has already carried enough strength, an arrow step forward, about to slap it with a palm, suddenly heard Duan Fei hurriedly shouted: "Don't hurt it!" ”

Yuantong was stunned in his heart, his subordinates withdrew four points of strength, and slapped a palm on the tiger's belly, although the Siberian tiger was slapped and lay down, Yuantong himself was shocked to take two steps back because of insufficient strength.

The Siberian tiger rolled twice after falling to the ground, then got up, shook its head, snorted twice, glanced at Duan Fei and them, and realized that this group of humans was not easy to mess with, so he fled with his tail between his legs.

Yuantong asked in surprise, "Why didn't you let me kill it?" Is it not a scourge to keep this evil beast? ”

Duan Fei looked at the Siberian tiger in the distance and said: "The scourge is also the scourge of the Tatars or the Jurchens, besides, it only attacked us to fill its stomachs, maybe there are still two little tigers in the nest to feed it, if we kill it, won't it hurt three lives?" ”

Yuan Jing couldn't help but say: "My lord, the tiger is a fierce beast, killing one can save hundreds of other creatures, although the Buddha does not encourage us to hunt and kill wantonly, but if you meet a tiger and hurt people, kill it, you can accumulate yin virtue." ”

Even Shi Yufeng said curiously: "I said Ah Fei, you were ruthless when you ordered to kill those Jurchens yesterday, why did you suddenly start to be kind to a tiger?" As the saying goes, people don't hurt the tiger, the tiger is harmful to people's hearts, since ancient times, people kill fewer tigers, tigers eat more people, if we are all ordinary people, wouldn't we all be eaten by the tiger tonight? ”

Duan Fei asked rhetorically: "Do people who eat tigers kill more people?" ”

Everyone was speechless when asked in one sentence, Duan Fei continued: "Tigers only hunt other animals to survive, what about people, people have many more reasons to kill people, and it is humans who are really 'evil', not tigers, right?" I don't care what the Buddha says, I just know that the tiger has his right to live, kill one and one less, I don't want you to become one of the murderers of the Siberian tiger extinction in the world, as for human beings, the reproductive ability is so strong, killing is not killing, and when the enemy really becomes an endangered species, we will show mercy to them. ”

Duan Fei's argument made everyone speechless for a while, Yuantong and the others are all warrior monks, and they are not good at learning Buddhism, so if they are a master of instinct, they will definitely use Buddhism to refute Duan Fei, and now everyone can only listen.

Everyone continued on the road, Su Rong was thoughtful all the way, and almost stepped on the air and fell into the abyss, fortunately, she reacted quickly and stabilized her body, but she also stepped on the gravel and rolled into the mountain stream, Duan Fei heard the voice and turned around and said, "Rong'er, what's wrong with you?" Watch your step. ”

Su Rong replied: "I'm thinking about what Gongzi just said, it seems that in Gongzi's heart, people are not as good as beasts." ”

Duan Fei said: "This is true many times, don't you realize it? This topic is too profound, so let's not talk about it, and now the first question is, where is Duoyan Mountain? Does any of you know? ”

This question could not be answered even by the brightest of wise men, unless they could find a guide in the mountains, but unfortunately Duan Fei and they didn't find a single figure after touching it all night, but they encountered five tigers and three bears, and countless rabbits, roe deer, and rats scurrying under their feet.

The day is finally dawn, today is the day of the alliance of Duoyan Mountain, if you have worked hard to run but have not been able to find where Duoyan Mountain is, it will be a big joke, Duan Fei no longer walks blindly, but climbs to the top of the highest mountain nearby, Su Rong climbed the highest canopy on the top of the mountain, and finally saw a wisp of green smoke not far from the northeast, where there are people in the mountains.

The family lived on the mountainside, and when everyone arrived, an old woman who was drying bacon outside the yard looked up and looked curiously at the group of outsiders.

Su Rong walked over and asked, "Grandma, we are lost in the mountains, do you know where Duoyan Mountain is?" ”

The old woman blinked but did not answer, and an old man came out of the house on crutches and said to everyone: "She can't speak Chinese, you are from the Ming Dynasty?" What to do in Doyan Mountain? I've heard that there's not going anywhere these days. ”

Duan Fei was overjoyed and said, "The old man seems to be Han too, right?" I was ordered to go to Duoyan Sanwei to meet their big chief, the Ming officials, do the old people know where Duoyan Mountain is? ”

The old man looked at them for a while and said, "You are officials from the Ming Dynasty?" No, how could the officials of the Ming Dynasty wear such clothes to bring these people? I don't think you are like officials from the Ming Dynasty, but like robbers from the Ming Dynasty! ”

Duan Fei smiled: "Old man, if we are robbers, aren't you afraid?" Look, as long as you tell me where Duoyan Mountain is, this silver ticket is yours, a hundred taels, and you can exchange it for several horses and a herd of sheep in the intermarket. ”

The old man snorted and said, "You don't go to inquire, the four tigers of Shangshan are the sons of my family, they happen to be at home today, if you don't leave, you will have to roll down the mountain!" ”

Duan Fei smiled: "I can't tell you old man, it's better to ask them to come out." ”

The old man turned around and shouted, "Big Tiger, Two Tigers, Three Tigers, Four Tigers!" There are robbers in the house, come out and fight the robbers! ”

"Huh...... Where did the robbers come from early in the morning......" A shirtless strong man walked out of the house, yawned and muttered, rubbed his eyes and finally saw a few people in front of him, suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile on his face: "Ha, I just dreamed of marrying a daughter-in-law, and my daughter-in-law sent it to the door, I said girl, don't follow these robbers, follow me at home and give me a few babies." ”

Su Rong spat and turned her head, Duan Fei snorted and shouted, "Begging for a beating, big brother, help me teach him a lesson!" ”

Shi Yufeng said with a smile: "It seems that it is not possible to beat them down, so let me move my muscles and bones." ”

Shi Yufeng came to the strong man, a head shorter than the other party, the guy rubbed his big fist, and said, "My name is Big Tiger, what is your name?" I'll beat you later, don't blame me for bullying you. ”

Shi Yufeng said with a smile: "Let's talk about it, don't cry when I beat you later." ”

The big tiger roared, and hit Shi Yufeng's face with a punch, Shi Yufeng avoided it sideways, and at the same time attacked the big tiger under the ribs, the big tiger seemed to have practiced martial arts, and he turned around to avoid it, he hit Shi Yufeng with both fists and tigers, don't look at his huge body, but his feet are extremely flexible, Shi Yufeng was a little light, at first he was in a hurry, and it took a while to stabilize his position, and the two fought lively.

He couldn't even take it down, Shi Yufeng's old face was a little unbearable, he even made a trick, beat the big tiger out of order, hugged his head and shouted: "Second tiger, three tigers, four tigers, my brother was beaten, you guys come out to help my brother fight the robbers!" ”

"The boss was beaten? This is really rare, I want to see what kind of robber dares to hit my big tiger......" Three more people came out of the house, although they were not as tall and strong as the big tiger, but they were all strong men, they saw the big tiger being beaten, they actually applauded, and when the big tiger fled behind them, they opened their hands and stopped Shi Yufeng.

The shortest one held his hands on his chest and said to Shi Yufeng: "Look at your skills, you don't look like ordinary robbers, what are you doing?" ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "Someone finally asked, we are the officials sent by the Ming Dynasty to negotiate with Duoyan Sanwei, and we got lost in the mountains, so we had to come over and ask for directions, but I didn't expect your old man to believe it, but misunderstood that we were robbers, we just wanted to ask for directions, as long as we told us where Duoyan Mountain is, this hundred taels of silver tickets is yours." ”

The man asked, "Are you going to Doyan Mountain?" What time is the new year today? Well...... It should be the eighth day of the first lunar month, and you are going to participate in the Duoyan Mountain Alliance? No, Bu Rigude won't invite a few Han people up the mountain...... Are you really an official sent by the Ming Dynasty? What else is there to negotiate? Everyone is ready to send troops to the alliance, and you are simply looking for death to send them now, thinking that the pigs and cattle they used to sacrifice blood to the sky are not enough? How many heads are sent? ”

This person spoke in a clear manner, in one sentence, and listening to his tone, he didn't seem to have a good impression of Duoyan Sanwei's alliance, Duan Feixi said: "You are right, we are following the secret order of the Ming Emperor to prevent them from going south, you quickly tell me where Duoyan Mountain is, since we have come here, we have already put life and death out of the way." ”

The man had a look of admiration in his eyes and said, "I'm so bold, I didn't expect Daming to have someone like you who is not afraid of death, Daddy, do you think we should help him?" ”

The old man came to Duan Fei and said suspiciously, "Are you really a messenger sent by the emperor?" Have you also encountered sandstorms or robbers? How did you get so down? ”
