The days are not hot in winter, and this is the case in the south, which is bitterly cold in the morning and warms up again by noon.

Gu Rong and Xu Fang followed the convoy all the way forward, and at noon, someone along the carriage each handed out a coarse cloth coat for the soldiers to change into.

After sitting in the carriage for a long time, Xu Fang sighed, leaned back, and the carriage walked with a gurgling face.

Gu Rong said, "If you have nothing to do, just rest for a while, I'm afraid there will be no good days in the past two days." ”

Xu Fang knew what she meant, he leaned on the grain and grass, his tone was lazy, and said, "Since I was born, I don't know what a good life is, my parents died on the way to escape from the wilderness, leaving me alone, these twenty years, barely floating in this world." ”

Gu Rong has no intention of exploring his past, in this world, there are people who die of starvation and disaster every day, and the more people you know, the more sadness you have.

Seeing that Gu Rong didn't speak, Xu Fang squinted his eyes and looked at her.

Gu Rong glanced at it noticed, indifferent.

Xu Fang didn't care, closed his eyes and recuperated, "What should you do if I sleep?" ”

Gu Rong said, "It's okay, when I used to practice, I could go four days and four nights without sleeping. ”

"Four days and four nights?" Xu Fang was surprised, sat up straight, looked her up and down, and the fox asked, "Aren't you fooling me?" Who is your master? Where did you learn martial arts? ”

After he asked, he said to himself, "Speaking of this martial arts, I really admire your skills, as well as archery skills, and courage!" In other words, where is your home? Who else is in the family...... Ouch......" He suddenly held his waist in pain.

It turned out that Gu Rong thought he was talking too much, so he whipped the horse, and the carriage happened to pass through the mud pit, and he was unstable, Xu Fang leaned back violently, and the whole person fell on the carriage.

Xu Fang couldn't help rubbing his waist, estimating that it should be green, it stands to reason that the military ration can't be so hard, Xu Fang was suspicious, his hand touched the shape of the sack, and he felt a few protrusions, and he felt that it was wrong.

No one paid attention to them in the carriages in front and behind.

Xu Fang took the dagger, lifted the side of the black cloth, and made a small opening on the sack, and the yellow mud and dry soil leaked out of the hole.

Xu Fang's face turned pale with a brush.

Gu Rong's complexion changed suddenly, took his dagger, and made a few more cuts, each generation was dry soil.

It's not food at all!

Xu Fang stared at her blankly, "How can this be?" ”

The dry soil fell from the quicksand from her fingertips, and Gu Rong had a calm face, as shocked as Xu Fang.

The convoy in front of it stopped, and a leader shouted, "Rest in place, and we will continue to rush after dinner." ”

Xu Fang and Gu Rong took advantage of the slack work of eating, picked a few cars and secretly checked, and found that the cars were full of sand, and only a few of them contained clods, thinking that the soldiers were lazy and took advantage of the chaos to load them.

Gu Rong was full of suspicion.

Is Dongyue really going to abandon Liaocheng Siege and catch thanks? Or is all of this just a trick, just to deceive Beiyuan's meticulous work lurking in Dongyue?

Xu Fangzheng hooked shoulders with other car drivers and talked happily.

This break was an hour and a half, the convoy restarted, Xu put back on the car, and whispered to her, "The number is wrong." ”

Gu Rong drove the car and listened to him attentively.

Xu Fang said, "I roughly estimated that there are only about 20 carriages here, which is not the same number we saw in the barracks before. ”

Gu Rong stared ahead, and her voice was very low, "I guess, the real grain and grass should be out of Liaocheng." ”

"What are we going to do?"

"There are only two roads for Liaocheng to go north, an official road and a small road, if they really want to go north to take Bianjing Qingcheng, they will definitely take these two roads."

That being said, it's true, but how do the two of them know which way to cry?

Xu Fang was worried, "But which way will they go?" ”

The slanting sun is far away, and the sunset sky is red, dyeing the river in the distance red.

At this moment, the convoy suddenly caused a commotion under the remnant sun.

The two approached and found that the leader of the convoy was surrounding the five men.

The leader sneered, "I guessed that you were coming, and I prepared a big gift for you!" ”

The five men were all dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and their appearance was ordinary, but their eyebrows were full of heroism, and a discerning person knew at a glance that they were soldiers who had been trained on the battlefield.

This is the soldier of the Northern Yuan!

The five of them were exposed to being surrounded at this moment, but they didn't see the slightest panic in their expressions, thinking that they had already put life and death out of the way.

Gu Rong pondered, could it be that they were also here for this batch of grain and grass?

"Take it!" The leader ordered.

The five were outnumbered and quickly outnumbered.

Xu Fang watched from the side, his heart was like an ant on a hot pot, and he couldn't help but want to make a move, but Gu Rong on the side grabbed him and shook his head helplessly.

The two of them must go to intercept the real grain and grass, and at this time it will be exposed, and everything will be in vain!

Those five people were dead soldiers, seeing that they were about to be captured, the dagger appeared in their arms, the five people looked resolutely, regarded death as home, looked at the distant Beiyuan, glanced at it hurriedly, and the dagger stabbed into the heart.

Gu Rong and Xu Fang were both surprised.

The two of them looked at them with sad eyes, and they watched helplessly as the five fell to the ground.

The corpse was thrown into a ditch, and the soul was lost in a foreign land.

The convoy continued along the path.

Gu Rong and Xu Fang hid in the grass, and after the convoy was far away, they dragged out the corpses of the five soldiers.

Xu Fang dug a pit in silence and buried the bodies of five people.

Gu Rong was also gloomy.

All this is done, and it is already dark.

The two walked on the path.

Xu Fang asked, "What should we do now?" ”

"Catch up and burn this batch of grain and grass!"

"But ......"

But which way is the real grain and grass going, if they choose the wrong way, Bianjing Qingcheng will be in dire straits!

Gu Rong took a deep breath, put away the gloom and sadness, and said, "Great Dao!" ”

"Why?"

"Because the fake grain and grass chose the trail, the most dangerous place is the safest, that's what I said."

"Guess again?"

"Guess what's wrong?"

Gu Rong saw that his expression was faintly displeased, knowing that he was a cheerful and warm heart, he had just seen the Northern Yuan soldiers refuse to commit suicide, and he must have felt uncomfortable in his heart, and now the real grain and grass are very important, if he makes a mistake, the end will be irreparable.

Gu Rong soothed, "Brother Xu, you believe me!" ”

Xu Fang nodded, he naturally believed.

The two immediately searched for the nearest town, bought two horses, went straight to the pipe, and hurried at night.

Sure enough, in the second half of the night, I finally found clues.

The biting cold wind blew, and the night was like thick ink, so deep that it could not be dissolved.

In the darkness, there were inaudible footsteps creeping closer.

The soldiers who were on the night vigil were alert, looked around, and then continued to bake the fire with peace of mind, and a few people were talking, and a person came not far away.

"A few brothers have worked hard, this is the food of the vigil." The soldier distributed the hot vegetable buns to a few people, "Freshly made in the room, it is cold, and it is cold to eat to warm the stomach." ”

A few people shared the buns, and some people urged their companions, "Eat quickly, the night is still long......"

The food soldier who delivered the food said with a smile, "Those brothers are eating, I'll go and get busy first." ”

"Wait!" Someone stopped him, "There is a new vigil in the north today, you can also send some food." ”

The soldier nodded and said busily, "Okay, okay, send it immediately." ”

As soon as he walked away, the soldier looked at it from a distance, and there was no dark shadow in the place just now.

In the second half of the night, the wind blew, and the whirring cold wind blew on people's faces, and it was bitterly cold.

In the darkness, the soldier grinned, "God help me and both!" ”
