Chapter 174: Master Xie?
The place where Southern Chu and Northern Liang fought.
Xie Yun and Su He drove more than a dozen roads to reach the dilapidated village, Zheng was late at this time, but there was not even a little smoke floating in the sky in the village, and the doors of every house were closed, but there was not a single candle lit in the house.
Xie Yun's expression was slightly condensed, and he turned his head to look at Su He, who also looked solemn: "Brother Su, this village is different from what we saw before, it seems a little unusual. β
Su He Shen nodded, "This is the village closest to the battlefield, and I'm afraid there are no more people living in it." β
"It's getting late now, and it will take half a day to get to the front line, so it's better to find an uninhabited house today and live for the time being."
Xie Yun looked up again, "I'm afraid it's going to rain tonight, so we have to find a shelter from the wind and rain." β
Su He nodded, and the two turned over and dismounted, leading the horse and slowly walked in.
Looking at the dilapidated village from afar, it is even more unbearable to look at it up close.
Because of the war, this village is very deserted, the weeds on the roadside have been trampled by the horses' hooves, the doors and windows of every house are closed, and there is no human figure on the road, only a wild dog, barking when the two enter the village.
And because of the barking of the wild dog, the person who opened the window slightly in the distance hurriedly closed his window tightly.
In the cold wind, the two smiled bitterly, so they had to take the trouble to come forward and knock on the door from door to door.
"Excuse me, anyone? We are lost scholars and want to spend the night here......"
"No one, let's go."
Xie Yun: ......
"Is the owner at home?"
"Not there."
Su He: ......
The two sighed, shrunk their shoulders and shivered in the cold wind, and knocked on several houses in succession, either unwillingly, or the doors had been locked, and the houses were empty.
Although no one was in the house, the two did not dare to break into the door directly.
Seeing the dark clouds rolling and a heavy rain coming in an instant, Xie Yun couldn't help but turn his head to Su He and said, "Brother Su, there is a ruined temple ahead, it seems that we can only rest in the ruined temple." β
Su He let out a low "um", and suddenly leaned closer and said, "The people in the village don't seem to be ordinary people. β
Rao's voice came from the room, and Su He felt that something was wrong.
It stands to reason that if it is really the people who are suffering from the war, it should be impossible to speak up when they encounter them, and even if they do, the voice must be trembling, but the few voices that have just been heard are clearly full of anger.
Xie Yun was not as proficient in martial arts as Su He, but after being reminded by Su Heyi, he also discovered something unusual in it.
No wonder he always felt that the people in the house had answered strangely, how could ordinary people have the courage to deliberately choke?
"Well, let's go, it seems that there is no way to stay in the village tonight." Xie Yun's eyebrows condensed lightly, and he deliberately said loudly, and then turned over and got on the horse.
Sure enough, the room where the sound came out before quietly opened a crack.
The two of them were in a state of flux, rode their horses and whips, and soon crossed the deserted village and arrived at the ruined temple Zheng in front
Seeing the two of them leaving, the door of the room where Fang had just spoken was opened, and a woman in a strong suit stood at the door, looking a little puzzled, "Fang Cai, do any of you know each other?" β
The man who was hiding in front of the window and peeking shook his head, "I don't know, it looks like a boy from Shengjing City." β
"Shengjing City?" The woman in the power suit looked slightly moved, "Isn't there any news from Shengjing City yet?" β
The man shook his head, "There has been no news yet. β
"What about the army, is there something wrong?"
"Before the general left, he arranged all the defenses, only defended and did not attack, and Beiliang can't bargain now."
"It's justβ" the man hesitated for a moment, "I guess I'm thinking too much." β
The news they sent back to Shengjing City won't all be intercepted, right......
The woman in the strong suit nodded, "Be vigilant tonight, the general has not woken up from his serious injury, and he must go to the medicine valley tomorrow to find medicinal materials." β
"Yes."
After the man answered, the woman raised her chin at the locked door, "Remember to unlock them tomorrow." β
Then the door gradually closed.
After another quarter of an hour, Su He and Xie Yue's figures appeared around the corner.
Su He gestured, Xie Yu nodded, and the two retreated quietly.
"Brother Su, this group of people is really weird." Xie Yun said softly, "I observed just now, they all seem to be from our army, although the armor on their bodies has been rested, but the combat boots on their feet are Nanchu Xiangyun boots. β
Su He nodded, "Except for that woman, everyone else is from the army, and depending on the situation, their skills should not be bad." β
"That's the woman...... Checkmate. Xie Yun couldn't help but swallow softly, "Could it be my father?" β
Su He didn't answer, his eyes burned and fell on the room Zheng who was slightly lit with candles
"A general, if he is injured, I am afraid that eight or nine will not leave ten, there is no doubt that it is Xie Houye."
If it was really Xie Houye, why didn't they bring him back to the army for the military doctor to diagnose and treat.
So, the question is, are these people friends or foes?
Far away, both of them vaguely learned the identity of the seriously injured Rao in the house from the woman's lips through lip language, but they couldn't understand the detailed words.
"Do you want to ......" Xie Yun gestured, and Su He nodded.
Anyway, they're going to have to go in and take a look at the school
The two stood quietly in the corner of the alley, and in a moment the rain came as promised, crackling on the roof of the village, sweeping away the silence of the village.
At this moment, a long neighing of the horses not far away resounded through the sky, and Su He took the opportunity to jump up and rush to the house with the lights on.
The man guarding outside the house was taken aback, and drew a large knife with his backhand to meet him.
The horses that were startled by the thunder and lightning rushed back, and the men outside the house were startled by the rain, and the surrounding circle was instantly panicked.
The rain was cold, and when the two horses crossed the crowd, Su He jumped reflexively, landed on the horse steadily, and walked away.
At this time, Xie Yun had already jumped in through the window, touched the middle of the house, and lurked in the corner.
The men outside all jumped forward, "Yu'er, is the general okay?" β
The woman in the power suit was giving needles to the person on the bed, and when she heard this, she nodded lightly, "Guard, don't let people disturb me." β
A thin layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and the man was just about to respond, and then listened to her, "There are some people left in the house, too." β
In silence, Xie Yun involuntarily relaxed his breathing.
He made an agreement with Su He that in a quarter of an hour he would come back again, killing a surprise return pistol. When the time comes, he will have to confirm the identity of Rao in bed.
But...... This woman is obviously being treated, and it seems that she will not leave for a short time, what should I do?
