There was an unexpected situation near the barracks, Guo Tao was like a frightened bird, almost jumping up: "Could it be that the camp was attacked by surprise and the general was defeated?" ”

The scout shook his head again and again: "Lord Duwei, there are two groups of people fighting to the death there, and the number is not much, one side is hundreds, and the other side is only fifty or sixty. I don't dare to dive closer, I don't know the details, but I can be sure that there are no mountain barbarians mixed with it. ”

This situation is a little weird.

Guo Tao hesitated in his heart, and for the sake of prudence, he shouted to stop the team: "Defend in formation!" ”

He then whispered to the scout, "Lead the way, I'm going to take a look." ”

With the experience of the past, he did not dare to rush forward without finding out the situation.

The scout nodded, turned around and led the way, Guo Tao dialed his horse to follow, and just walked a few steps, a person turned out on the side, it was Su Ke.

"Lord Lieutenant, I'll go with you below."

Guo Tao thought about it, and nodded in agreement, with this grandmaster and master with him, they were safer.

So, Guo Tao, Su Ke, and two scouts, and a group of four people left the grain transportation team and followed the scouts to the forest next to the road.

After walking a few pillars of incense, the scouts in front turned over and dismounted, and one of them whispered: "Captain, let's get off our horses and walk, so as not to startle people with the sound of horses' hooves." ”

"It's fine." Guo Tao nodded.

All four of them dismounted, the reins were tied to the forest, and then several people walked cautiously forward in the mountain forest, and probably after another tea effort, a valley appeared in the distance, and there was a faint sound of swords colliding.

Sure enough, there was a situation.

The four of them hid behind the bushes and looked out through the bushes.

There are indeed two groups of people, because the distance is a little far, and the field of vision further forward becomes very wide, and there is nowhere to hide, so it is normal for the two scouts to be unable to see clearly, but Guo Tao is a second-rate master, squinting and looking closely, he can see a rough idea.

Then he saw two groups of men, one of whom was the defender, and they were dressed in purple color and looked more ornate, and some of them seemed to be wearing fine silver scale armor.

The other group of men were in black armor, with scimitars in their hands, and there were more people, twice as many as on the opposite side, all of them were brave and good at fighting, and they had the upper hand in the battle, and if it weren't for the valley terrain, the defenders would have collapsed long ago.

But even so, the situation of the defenders is precarious, and they may collapse at any time, and then the whole army will be destroyed.

After looking at it for a while, Guo Tao said with some uncertainty: "That black armor army looks a little familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere." ”

The distance was still too far, and he could see a little blurry, but he believed that Su Ke beside him should be able to see clearly, so when he spoke, he looked at Su Ke beside him and waited for his opinion.

Su Ke's eyesight is better than Guo Tao's, he squinted for a while, and suddenly saw a person hiding in the valley, not to mention that this person was gorgeously dressed, the key was his face, he was in his forties, but his face was white and beardless, and he had a feminine appearance.

As soon as he saw this person, combined with Guo Tao's previous words, he was shocked in his heart, and he roughly understood what was going on.

He didn't directly say what was going on, so he said, "Let's go, let's not mix this matter." ”

Then he turned and walked back.

Guo Tao was puzzled, but he believed in Su Ke's judgment, and gave a slight gesture to the scouts around him, and the three of them followed behind Su Ke together, away from the valley.

After walking for several miles, he couldn't hear the sound of killing in the valley at all, Guo Tao couldn't help but ask, "Brother Su, what is going on?" ”

Su Ke took a deep breath and said to Guo Tao: "I heard that there is an elite under General Huo's command, named Xuanjiawei, and the group of people outside the valley should be it." ”

As soon as he said this, Guo Tao immediately patted his head: "Yes, it's Xuanjiawei, no wonder it's so familiar!" ”

Su Ke said again: "There is another group of people in the valley, and the others are nothing, but I found a castration." ”

"Eunuchs? Father-in-law" Guo Tao's eyes widened, and they were full of shock.

After being stunned for a while, he immediately said to the two scouts beside him: "We don't know anything about this today, but if there is a leak, we will be killed!" ”

The two scouts also reacted, and at this time, their faces were as pale as paper, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.

Eunuchs do not leave the palace easily, unless it is a messenger who delivers a decree. And near the barracks of the Mangshan army, General Huo's personal guards robbed and killed the messenger of the Qincha, what was the intention?

'Is the general trying to rebel?' ’

The thought jumped uncontrollably into their minds, shaking them all over.

Among the four, Su Ke was the most calm, and he said in a condensed voice: "Today's matter, we still need to cover it up, otherwise there will be a population in the grain team that will soon be reported, and the general will be suspicious at that time, and we are afraid that our lives will be short." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, as it should be!" Guo Tao nodded again and again.

"When we came to the mountains, we saw no strife, and after a moment of searching, we turned our horses and returned. So, can you change it? Su Ke asked.

Guo Tao was already confused, his performance was not much better than the two scouts, he swallowed saliva at this time, and nodded again and again: "But, that's it." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and glared at the two scouts: "Do you understand?" Don't say you missed your mouth! ”

"Lord Captain, the little ones know how powerful!" The scout's face turned blue.

"In that case, let us go back." Su Ke said.

Of course, the three of them had no opinion, returned to the place where they had tied their horses before, and rode back, but along the way, everyone was worried, and they were silent all the way.

After a while, the four of them rushed back to the grain transport team, Guo Tao had almost recovered on the surface, and when he saw that the first team was coming up with a worried face, he forced a smile and said: "A false alarm, we haven't found anything, let's go, it's not early, let's go!" ”

As soon as they heard that it was okay, everyone was naturally overjoyed, and they all relaxed one by one, straightened the convoy, and set off again.

There is not much distance left, and after half a day, in a spacious valley in front of you, there is a huge military camp, and the flags in the camp are fluttering, among which there is a large flag with dark red and yellow edges, and the word 'Huo' in the middle, which is officially ordered to conquer the Huo family army of the mountain barbarians!

At the mouth of the valley there was a guardrail, a watchtower on the railing, and the sergeants were on duty in the tower, and they immediately blew the horn when they spotted the grain caravan.

A moment later, the camp gate opened, and a large number of sergeants rushed out to greet them.

As soon as the food arrived, the soldiers were determined, and it was no wonder that they were greeted so ceremoniously.

The sergeant who greeted him quickly rushed to the front, and the person at the head was wearing a tiger-headed shuttle armor and a gilded gun, and it was Luo Kecheng, one of the three fierce generals in the Huo family's army, known as Luo Laohu.

His face was full of red light, and Lao Yuan laughed: "The supplies have finally arrived, and Lao Tzu's wine must have it, haha." ”

Luo Laohu is a good wine, a thousand cups are not drunk, the more he drinks, the more fierce he drinks, he will drink a jar before going into battle, and then he is fearless and brave.

Su Ke saw it from a distance, squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and saw that this person was covered in a rich yellow light, and knew that this person could at least achieve the level of three grades and five senses, and maybe he could get a small title.

However, next to this yellow light, there was still a trace of black gas, Su Ke took a few looks, and then understood the roots, and secretly said in his heart: "This person borrows foreign objects to strengthen his blood, and when he breaks out, he should have super-first-class skills, but he will not last long, and his life will not be more than fifty!" ’

Luo Laohu didn't know that he had been secretly sentenced to life and death, he ran to the front, sniffed a few breaths with his big nose, and smelled the residual blood in the team, a pair of thick eyebrows wrinkled, and when he saw Guo Tao, he asked: "Why is the sergeant holding the grain less than half of the usual, such a small person, what should I do if something happens?" ”

Guo Tao's face suddenly showed grief, and he began to explain what had happened before and after.

When he finished speaking, Luo Laohu suddenly became angry: "What a strategy for robbing grain, this group of barbarians can't beat it, so they actually came to make a trick!" Ahh ”

After roaring, he looked at Guo Tao and praised: "You are very brave, and you will not lose food and grass, which is a great achievement!" ”

He turned his head to look at Su Ke, his tiger eyes narrowed slightly, and asked Guo Tao: "Guo Duwei, is this the great master of swordsmanship Su Cheng you said?" ”

"Exactly." Guo Tao nodded hurriedly.

Luo Laohu turned to Su Ke and said with a smile: "At a young age, you dare to call yourself a grandmaster, and you must have a lot of ability." Come, come, how about having a hand with me? ”

It is rumored that this Luo Lao Tiger is a martial arts idiot, but now that he looks at it, it is indeed true, and he is going to compete with Su Ke as soon as he comes.

Guo Tao hurriedly dissuaded: "General, Brother Su has worked hard all the way, and he has made meritorious contributions in protecting food, do you want him to rest for a few days?" ”

Luo Laohu waved his hand, not caring: "Where do I wait for martial artists to pay so much attention?" Brother Su, do you dare to fight me? ”

This kind of opportunity to make a name for himself sent to the door, how could Su Ke be cowardly, he took a step forward and hugged his fists as a salute: "How fortunate is it to be invited by the general to fight?" ”

Luo Laohu praised it: "What a big breath, good!" I just like people like you! ”
