"I never expected it to rain." Mu Jinyi's trouser legs were held high, leading his horse, one foot deep and one foot shallow, following behind the last two grain trucks: "Didn't you say that there has been a great drought in the north since the beginning of spring?" ”

"It's not even to the north." The martial master who was walking beside him replied with a smile: "After crossing the Jueyu Mountain, it is the northern boundary. To the south of Mt. Jueha, there has always been a lot of rain. ”

"Although the mountain road is difficult, it will take several days to climb the mountain," Mu Jinyi wiped the rain on his face: "But from here to Heng'an, if there is no mountain separating it, the straight-line distance is not far, right?" If it rains here, it won't rain in Heng'an. ”

"The straight-line distance is not far," Master Wu replied, "but this Jueyu Mountain is very high, and the water vapor in the south is almost blocked by the mountain, and the southern foot of Jueyu Mountain is humid and rainy, but the northern slope is different. When you climb over the hill and see for yourself, you will know that the northern slope is much more desolate, and there are no tall trees like the southern foothills. ”

"Where do you still need to go to the north slope," another martial master smiled and pointed to the sky: "If the weather is fine, just look up and see." There are flowers and trees below the southern foot of this Jueyu Mountain, which is halfway up the mountain, and they are all bald above. When you see Mt. Jueyu, you will know why the north is bitterly cold. ”

"You can take a look in advance," Master Wu, who spoke before, patted Mu Jinyi's shoulder: "This is the place to the north, which is where you will stay for a long time in the future." ”

"I really didn't see it." Mu Jinyi laughed: "My sister didn't know either. She was clamoring to marry to the North! Fortunately, the eldest brother didn't allow it. ”

"In such a place, the eldest lady had better not come to it for the rest of her life." Master Wu shook his head and sighed: "Whoever wants to stay here is just a last resort." ”

"Nope." Mu Jinyi raised his head and smiled at his master: "We are all voluntary. Generations of Mu families have put so much effort into the North, and we hope that it will get better and better. If we can defeat the Rongdi people in the future and make the north peaceful, I hope my sister can come and see it! The Mu family is inseparable from the north. ”

Master Wu opened his mouth with a smile, and just wanted to answer something, Mu Lingyi, who was leading the horse quietly on the side, suddenly handed the reins to Mu Jinyi's hand: "Jinyi, the rain seems to be heavier, help me lead the horse, I will walk forward and look at the center of the team." ”

Mu Jinyi nodded and took the reins of Mu Lingyi's horse: "Be careful." ”

The mountain road is narrow, and after leaving the car, there is no place for the horse to pass anymore, and this kind of weather is not suitable for riding a horse, so Mu Lingyi directly abandoned the horse and strode forward. Mu Jinyi, on the other hand, led two horses in his hands, followed the end of the team steadily, and looked around vigilantly with the two martial masters.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, the sight was getting worse and worse, the road was getting more and more muddy, and the escort team happened to come to the edge of a cliff, and an ordnance car at the forefront accidentally fell into the mud, and a car could not move, and the convoy behind could only stop.

General Wen, who was at the forefront of the procession, hurriedly dismounted and turned back, personally helping the sergeant to push the cart, hoping to leave the dangerous section of the road as soon as possible. At this time, the team behind was suddenly a little chaotic, and General Wen hurriedly looked up and looked back, but saw that on the high hillside in the distance, huge boulders were rolling down, carrying mud and sand and huge trees on the mountain all the way, and rushing down the narrow mountain road together.

"Collapse! Be careful! General Wen was startled, and ran backwards while shouting a warning, and at this moment, as the boulder fell, the road was cut in two, and many people with swords suddenly came out of the dense forest on the hillside.

They were neatly dressed, dressed in sheepskin armor, with conical helmets, and leather daggers and scabbards hanging from their waists. These people were silent, and one by one they slashed out with their swords, and slashed directly at the sergeant guarding the car, and the swords were close to the point.

"It's the Rongdi people!" The sharp warning whistle sounded, and the escort soldiers fought hard, but they didn't know how many Rongdi people came out of the dense forest, and they were in a group, without any communication with each other, and besieged the Great Zhou soldiers in a very orderly manner.

General Wen slashed down one of the Rongdi people closest to him, but he didn't hurt the vital point. He was a military general, leaving his horse, and his strength was very limited on the narrow mountain paths. General Wen turned around and ran forward, trying to get the quiver hanging from the saddle, but two more Rongdi men had already surrounded him, and the two knives with the wind blocked General Wen's path fiercely and quickly.

General Wen had a cliff to his left and an ordnance car parked on the side of the road on his right, and he had no room to dodge at all, so he could only raise his sword to block. Just blocked one knife, but couldn't block the second, seeing that the knife was about to be cut on his shoulder, General Wen wanted to retreat in despair, but found that he had no way to retreat.

At this moment, a roar sounded, and the huge gray cat rushed down directly from the middle of the mountain, General Wen couldn't even see how it moved, he could only see the gray shadow flashing in front of him, the knife did not fall on his shoulder, and the Rong Di people with the knife were directly knocked down the cliff.

The gray figure did not stop beside General Wen, it stepped directly on the roof of the ordnance car, jumped all the way back, extremely fast, and disappeared from General Wen's sight in an instant.

It's Miss Mu's leopard!

Not long after this leopard left the capital, General Wen never saw it again, and he thought that he had already run away, but he didn't expect it to be there. This leopard is going to the end of the team, and General Wen knows that it should go to find Mu Jinyi.

Unexpectedly, Cangbao has been away from Beijing for so long, and he is still dutifully carrying out Miss Mu's order - to protect Mu Jinyi.

Biying ran all the way back, and when it passed the section of the collapsed road, it suddenly slowed down, and then turned around, rushing directly towards a group of people near the collapse.

Mu Lingyi dragged his severely painful leg and was still struggling to resist.

He was surrounded in the center by five or six enemies, who, without communicating with each other, attacked him silently. Mu Lingyi was injured in the leg by a falling rock, and he was already unable to move, and his weapon was a green dragon halberd, on a narrow mountain road, such a long soldier could not be used at all, and could only be used as a block at most, so Mu Lingyi's main weapon to resist at the moment was actually a small short sword, which was given to him by his sister before he left home.

"You can't leave me." Mu Lingyi still remembered that Mu Hongsheng told him at the time: "We don't have any small weapons in our family, I rummaged through the arsenal for two whole days before I found a pair of short swords, and you and Jinyi took one with them." ”

Mu Lingyi remembered that he was reluctant to carry it with him at that time, because he was not good at using such a short weapon. However, he didn't expect that on this narrow mountain road, this short sword that his sister forced him to bring turned out to be his most effective life-saving tool.
