Chapter 10: Deus Ex

Zhang Xiu saw that there was a trace of confusion in the Qiang people after knowing that their leader was dead, so he knew that the opportunity could not be lost, and immediately grabbed the horse's belly and killed it to the east. The dew is extremely fast, and often before those Qiang people can react, they have already become the souls of Zhang Xiu's spear. Zhang Xiu went all the way to the east, Zhang Xiu broke through the waves in the Qiang soldiers like a tide, and there were no Qiang soldiers who could stop Zhang Xiu's progress.

Soon Zhang Xiu broke through the encirclement of the Qiang soldiers in front of the Taishou Mansion and ran all the way to the east street. There were no pedestrians on the East Street, and several Qiang soldiers were stabbed to death by Zhang Xiu by chance.

Soon Zhang Xiu came to the vicinity of the city gate, but he was startled when he looked at it. I saw that the city gate was densely packed with countless Qiang soldiers, even at the nearby city wall, but fortunately the city gate was not closed.

Zhang Xiu's expression froze, and as soon as he clamped the horse's belly, the degree of sassy dew soared again, but Zhang Xiu wanted to rush out of the city with the degree of sassy dew. At this time, a group of Qiang soldiers also saw the figure coming towards the city gate, and the purple horse under his crotch was as fast as lightning, and the leader of the Qiang people at the city gate immediately shouted: "Shoot him, release the arrow, shoot him." ”

The Qiang soldiers were commanded, and they immediately opened their bows and released arrows, but the degree of sassy exposure was too fast, and often when the arrows reached their set target, Zhang Xiu had already crossed them. The leader of the Qiang soldiers said angrily: "Stupid, shoot a little ahead." ”

The leader of the Qiang people reminded that a group of Qiang soldiers drew their bows and arrows again, and as soon as the bowstring sounded, Zhang Xiu saw dozens of powerful arrows shooting. I only heard Zhang Xiu snort coldly, and the tiger-headed golden gun was danced into a golden curtain of light by him.

"Ding, ding, ding......" The continuous sound of gold and iron hitting was a powerful arrow that was shot and was blocked by Zhang Xiu's tiger head golden gun one by one. Just when the Qiang people were about to shoot again, Zhang Xiu had already rushed to the front, and the tiger's head and golden gun danced rapidly, bringing up pieces of blood, and many Qiang soldiers guarding the city gate could not stop Zhang Xiu's progress at all.

At this time, the leader of the Qiang people shouted: "Close the city gate." But he shouted at this time it was too late, Zhang Xiu a tiger head golden gun flew up and down, to the front of the Qiang soldiers have fallen, just a cup of tea, Zhang Xiu has already taken the door away, when Zhang Xiu out of the city gate haha laughed, turned his head to look at the Qiang leader who was shouting on the city wall, and said with a long smile: "Come and don't be rude, and take me an arrow." ”

After saying that, he hung up the tiger's head golden gun, took a bow and arrow, turned around and shot at the Qiang leader, and as soon as the bowstring sounded, the Qiang leader fell off the city wall in response, and smashed his head to the ground fiercely, causing a puff of smoke and dust to rise on the ground covered with yellow sand.

Zhang Xiu laughed, and looked east with Sa Lu Juechen.

Along the way, Zhang Xiu saw many caravans of Han or Hu people, and whenever Zhang Xiu passed by, he shouted to them: "The Qiang people have rebelled, Jincheng has fallen, you should go back." After drinking, he moved on.

has been walking for nearly an hour, the sky has gradually darkened Zhang Xiu stopped the horse, according to Zhang Xiu's estimates, an hour according to the strength of Salu's feet, the whole has walked nearly 400 miles, but Zhang Xiu also saw that Salu kept snorting, constantly exhaling hot air in the cold weather, obviously a little tired.

Zhang Xiu felt that it was normal for Salu to be a little tired, after all, it was carrying three people on its back, and Zhang Xiu's gun, sword, and bow were all moving forward with three weapons of nearly 100 catties, so it was strange if he was not tired.

Now the snow covers the earth, Salu can't find some grass to eat, fortunately there are already some trees nearby, Zhang Xiu cut some dead wood, raised a pile of firewood, let the two children who were frozen into a ball to roast the fire, Zhang Xiu took out a porcelain bowl from the package, but he had already prepared, took some snow from the ground and put it in the bowl and put it on the fire.

After a short time for the snow to melt, Zhang Xiu waited for the snow water to be boiled warm, then let the two children drink a few sips, and then took out a piece of dry food from the backpack, and handed the rest into two parts and handed it to the two children, who were obviously hungry, grabbed the dry food and devoured it.

Zhang Xiu added some snow to the porcelain bowl, and when the snow melted, he took the porcelain bowl and walked to Sa Lu to feed him water, and put a small piece of dry food that he had just pulled down into the porcelain bowl and water for Sa Lu to eat.

This scene was seen by Xiao Chen Song, he looked at Zhang Xiu's shriveled package, and knew that there was nothing in it, so he stood up and walked to Zhang Xiu's side to hand over the dry food, and said, "Brother Yi, you eat." ”

Zhang Xiu touched Chen Song's head with a smile and said, "Brother Yi, don't be hungry, you have eaten well." ”

Chen Song shook his head and said, "Brother Yi still wants to kill Qiang Hu, and he has to eat it to have strength." ”

At this time, Chen Yao was about to come over and hand over dry food to Zhang Xiu, but Zhang Xiu saw reluctance in her dark eyes.

Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "No need, we have already run a third of the way in an hour today, and we will be able to reach Chang'an tomorrow night, and there will not be too many Qiang people on this road, and we will have a full meal tomorrow." ”

Zhang Xiu's words are actually reasonable, Jincheng to Chang'an is about 1,400 miles away, if it is an ordinary marching elite soldier it takes half a month, if it is an ordinary soldier it takes a month. However, Sa Lu is a top thousand horses, if he only carries Zhang Xiu alone, he will travel more than 2,000 miles a day and just wait for leisure, but because of the "carrying", it is much slower.

Chen Song nodded, and under Zhang Xiu's surprised gaze, he put the remaining piece of dry food in his hand into a porcelain bowl for Salu to eat, and then said: "Salu, Salu, now you have enough to eat now, and tomorrow you have the strength to carry us to Xiao Chang'an, then tomorrow the righteous brother will not have to be hungry." ”

Zhang Xiu saw that Chen Song was so sensible, so he knew that his trip was not in vain, smiled, stopped Chen Yao, who still wanted to feed dry food to Sa Lu, and said, "Sa Lu can't eat too much, you can eat the rest." ”

Chen Yao shook his head, and then divided the dry food into three pieces, the largest of which was handed to Zhang Xiu, and the remaining two small pieces were divided with Chen Song, and said in a crisp voice: "In this way, my brother and my brother can eat it." ”

Zhang Xiu smiled and touched Chen Yao and Chen Song's heads, and ate the dry food under the gaze of the two children. After the three of them ate dry food, Zhang Xiu hugged the two children around the fire and closed his eyes to recuperate, but he was afraid that the two children would suffer from the cold, and the two children had experienced too much this day, and they quickly fell asleep under physical and mental exhaustion.

Early the next morning, Zhang Xiu came out without waiting for the two children to wake up, Sa Lu deserved to be a top Maxima, it was not too bumpy to walk, and the two children slept for another hour on the horse before waking up.

Until dusk, Zhang Xiu had already seen Chang'an, the ancient capital of the Han Dynasty, which stood in the land of Guanzhong.
