With Lan Yaju, he had a sad face, eating with his head bored. Waiting for news is the most test of people's patience, especially the always active Lan Ya.

Lan Ya pointed to the tip of her nose without saying anything, and asked, "Zhuoda, what kind of talents are you recruiting from the Tiger Wolf Camp and the Swallow Camp?" For example, do I have a chance to join? Qualified? ”

Zhuo Da glanced at Lan Ya up and down, and said after a moment: "Miss Yu understands the language of beasts, can drive animals, smell, hearing, and vision are different from ordinary people, flexible skills, smart minds, heavy and calm in case of trouble, and lack of decisiveness....."

Lan Ya, who praised the cheeky Lan Ya with a few words, couldn't help blushing, and was about to wave his hand and be modest, but Zhuo Da shook his head and said, "According to the opinion of her subordinates, Miss Yu can't go to any camp." ”

Lan Ya was full of hope and said, "Why? Because I'm young and a child laborer? ”

Zhuo Da shook his head and said, "The youngest in the Swallow Camp is only eight years old, one year younger than the girl, and she is good at smashing holes and digging holes, and she is very flexible. The reason why I didn't accept it from the girl was because Miss Yu's attitude towards the young master was really not flattering, and the word loyalty was more important than ability. ”

Lan Ya's face couldn't help but darken, and she was in a hurry, because she didn't have enough respect for the young master of his family, and she also tricked their young master from time to time.

Lan Ya's blood surged, slapped Zhuo Dazheng's hand to scoop the egg custard, took the egg custard in front of him, and ate it in a big gulp, eating too quickly, choked and coughed twice, and almost became the first person in history to be choked to death by the egg custard.

Zhuo Da touched his nose in amazement, he just told a few words of the truth, why didn't he even let the food eat, he was so angry that he almost choked to death. Holding a steamed bun and leaving the table, he stood in front of the window like a stone sculpture, looking at the thick night.

After a long time, a black eagle shadow fell, Lan Ya stood up, stretched out his arm, Hai Dongqing easily landed on his arm, quickly untied the bamboo pipe, Ji Liang turned around and went back to the room, and took out a piece of raw meat to reward Hai Dongqing.

Opening the bamboo pipe, which was densely written in pinyin, Zhuo Da hurriedly asked, "What did the young master say?" ”

Lan Ya pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Ran said that he will pay attention to Meng Huai, so that we don't have to worry, and don't look for him." ”

Zhuo Da let out a long sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, the young master is fine, as long as he knows Meng Huaiqi, the young master has a sense of defense, and the people in the Tiger Wolf Camp are not vegetarians." ”

Lan Ya shook her head lightly and said: "I always feel that something is wrong, every time I write a letter to Xiao Ran, he will inevitably sarcastically mock me, not having the upper hand is like asking him to die, this time, so calm, so indifferent, but I always feel inappropriate, maybe, he is in danger, and it is a dangerous situation, let us not take risks." ”

Zhuo Da's calm heart jumped wildly again, Lan Ya hurriedly put on a pair of weapons, wrapped a pot of steamed buns with a cloth, put it on his back and said: "Zhuo Da, let Hai Dongqing lead the way, we will run overnight to save Zhuo Xiaoran." ”

Zhuo Da frowned and said, "Miss Yu, the young master will not let you put yourself in danger, you just need to let Hai Dongqing lead the way, and we will track you all the way." ”

Lan Ya stared at Zhuo Da's eyes and said, "If you don't agree with me to go, I won't let Hai Dongqing lead the way." ”

Zhuo Da was anxious and nodded.

Lan Ya said to Lu'er, who was about to move, grinding his fists, and preparing to set off with him: "Lu'er, once the three men and horses of Yuli break through Wang Anshi's army, it will be like entering a no-man's land, and only Longtou Town can rely on the thick city wall to solve the temporary crisis." Tomorrow, you must send the people into the town to accept the fetish protection of Wu Chengyi and the official army. But we can't rely on Wu Chengyi like the people, there is a tunnel entrance under the manger, there are weapons and food in it, if necessary, you take your family to hide in it, and when you get inside, don't mess around, lest the organ hurt people. ”

After saying that, Lan Ya's mouth was dry, Zhuo Da and Lu'er were dumbfounded, Zhuo Da finally knew that when the village was built, why Lan Ya used countless green bricks, but the house on the ground was not so magnificent.

Lu'er was told by Lan Ya that she suddenly felt a heavy responsibility, patted her chest and said, "Miss don't worry, where is the family, where is Lu'er!" ”

Lan Ya nodded, followed Hai Dongqing with Zhuo Da, and disappeared into the reckless night.

......

Looking at the young man who was sitting softly, the corner of the man's mouth smiled contemptuously, and the look in his eyes couldn't be hidden even if he wanted to.

The young man said bitterly: "Uncle Meng, is this wine poisonous?"

Meng Huai stood up, looked at the man condescendingly and said: "There is no poison in this wine, but the soft tendons are scattered, and it is better to catch you alive than to die." ”

The corners of Xiao Ran's mouth twitched, he shook his head like vertigo, and his eyes looked straight at Meng Huaidao: "Your father treats you like a brother, and I treat you like an uncle, why?" ”

Meng Huai sat on the mahogany carved chair opposite Xiao Ran with a calm expression, and said disdainfully: "The man is alive, and his ambition is to be proud of the world, with your father here, Nanxiao's military power is not in my hands, only by overthrowing the world-famous King Nanxiao, can I be famous in the world, and I can gain the trust of the emperor." ”

Xiao Ran shook his head disdainfully, and sighed: "In the past twelve years, you have had no less than a dozen chances to kill me, why didn't you do it for a long time, but now you have personally run to Beixiao, you are not afraid that you will be in danger and killed by others?" ”

Meng Huai said in a deep voice: "People must have use value in order to have status, if you live, the emperor will naturally see my value, so I am not in a hurry to do it, let you live for thirteen years." Now, Emperor Xiao has taken a multi-pronged approach, let many people come to take your life, this Qixing Mountain, as if it has become a borderless land, in addition to my people, there are also the people and horses of the three parts of Yuli, there are the people and horses of the Northern Xiao King, the people and horses of the prince, and even the people and horses of the Qin State, but the purpose is the same, they are all to take your life. ”

Xiao Ran's expression was indifferent, and he couldn't see the change in his expression, only clenched fists and slightly frowning eyebrows, showing that his heart was not as light as it appeared on the surface, and he didn't expect that he was so important in the heart of the dog emperor, and he died so well, so that he didn't hesitate to marry his niece first, take the emperor's tomb as a guide, and bury the lives of all the people, and drive the forces of various countries in, where is this emperor of a country, he is clearly a madman in troubled times!

The corners of Xiao Ran's mouth flew, and he looked at Meng Huai with a contemptuous smile: "It's just a madman, and the next game of chess in troubled times, it's ridiculous that the chess pieces think they are indispensable, and they are immediately abandoned without knowing it." ”

Meng Huai was noncommittal, and a bad premonition came to his heart, so many regimes set foot in Beixiao, like entering a no-man's land, could it be that all this was planned by Emperor Xiao? Would you rather lure a wolf into the house and kill Zhuo Xiaoran and put your subjects in hell? This idea is too bizarre.

Meng Huai shook his head and wanted to deny it, but a layer of fine sweat already appeared on his forehead.

Xiao Ran nodded firmly, and said with a smile: "You're right, for the sake of his reputation for so-called benevolence, the emperor would rather risk the disapproval of the world and abandon the lives of thousands of people." You know the secret of the emperor's framing of the Zhuo family, do you think Emperor Xiao will let you go? On the day I die, you will be crushed by him, and you will be charged with a crime that will be reviled by the world. According to my estimate, it should be the crime of 'leaving the Nanxiao border pass without permission and fornicating with the three departments of Yuli'. ”

Meng Huai took out a bright yellow brocade shaft from his bosom in a panic and said, "Impossible, I have a secret purpose." ”

Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "Emperor Xiao will add another charge of 'forging a holy decree' to you." ”

The holy decree slipped to the ground, and Meng Huai's face turned pale. In vain, he calculated for a lifetime, but in the end he was calculated by the emperor, he was eager for success, and he only thought about catching Zhuo Xiaoran one step ahead of others, but he never thought that his life was tied to his life.

Meng Huai stood up ruthlessly and said firmly: "I won't kill you, I will capture you back to Nanxiao, and use you to order the Zhuo family army to compete with Emperor Xiao." ”

Zhuo Xiaoran sighed: "Your strategy is very moving, but unfortunately, Zhuo can endure any humiliation, but he doesn't want to be your puppet." ”

Xiao Ran stood up proudly, where did he still look like he was softened? The young man whistled out of the window with a calm demeanor, lowered his head and picked up the bright yellow holy decree, and put it in his arms.

Several tiger and wolf battalion guards jumped into the house and surrounded Meng Huai.

Meng Huai's mind suddenly cleared up, and he said with a wry smile: "You are much calmer and more insidious than your father, I have been by your father's side for five years, and I have completely gained his trust." I've been by your side for thirteen years, but you haven't even pretended to have a cup of tea. ”

Xiao Ran waved his hand and said sharply: "Catch it alive!" ”

Everyone attacked Meng Huai one after another.

Meng Huai jumped into the courtyard and threw a marble into the air, a cloud of white mist rose, and after a while, hundreds of black-clothed people attacked by surprise.

Meng Huaiyin smiled and said: "Huangkou Xiao'er, this handsome man was careless for a while, let you succeed, do you think that if you defeat those hundred weak soldiers of Nanxiao, you can capture and kill me?" Ben Shuai has hundreds of martial arts masters lurking, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer. ”

The two sides were in a scuffle again.

The other party is obviously also a person with strong martial arts, although the strength of the Tiger Wolf Battalion is slightly higher, if you want to capture it, it will take a lot of time.

Zhuo Er jumped in front of Zhuo Jiaran with a worried face and said: "Young Master, the matter of catching Meng Huai is important, but the person surnamed Meng has just fired a thunder fog bomb, and he will not only summon his people, but also summon all the forces around him, so let's retreat." ”

Xiao Ran looked at Meng Huai, who was also anxious in the array, and said coldly: "It's okay, judging from the current situation, even if we catch the surname Meng, we can't protect him, instead of taking him away recklessly, it is better to let him escape back to Nanxiao, use him to contain Emperor Xiao, and let Emperor Xiao throw a mouse trap and tie his hands." Rut! ”

With a wave of Zhuo Da's hand, the sons and daughters of the Tiger Wolf Battalion quickly gathered in the direction of Xiao Ran and evacuated to the east in three teams.

Meng Huai also did not want to fight, so he led his escort army to evacuate to the bottom of the mountain, preparing to flee back to Nanxiao, save his life, and then plot.

Even with their tracks hidden, the Tiger Wolf Battalion encountered two waves of masked enemy troops and experienced two bloody battles.

Xiao Ran looked at the guards behind him who were tired and seriously injured, and said to Zhuo Er with a solemn expression: "If we run and fight fatigue all night like this, we will gradually be exhausted by the enemy, and the most dangerous place is the safest place, we will abandon the jungle and go down the mountain into the village." ”

Zhuo Er looked at the stretching mountain range and replied: "Young master, this mountain is less than ten miles to the west, which is Quanshui Village, and the terrain is slightly higher than that of Yujia Village and other villages, so it can be temporarily hidden, but where do we go after repairing?" ”

Xiao Ran sneered: "After repairing, we will break through to the town, live in the town post house clearly, use me as bait, lure the people of the three departments of Yuli to attack the town, the town can't hold it, I will go to the county, the county, those poor ghosts in Yuli, must be the battle leader, burn and loot in one place, I want to see, in the end, is the loss of Emperor Xiao, or the loss of Zhuo." ”

Zhuo Er shuddered, and even a picture of burning, killing, looting, and corpses all over the field appeared in front of him, young master, he finally had the appearance of an avenger.

It's just that Zhuo Er, who is as strong as iron, also felt a little unbearable in his heart, and organized a small team of people to explore the way to Quanshui Village in a worried mood.
