Not long after Zhou Zhe and the others set Lin Village on fire, the defenders of Longquan Pass noticed something unusual, and before that, the former army camp located in Baili of Longquan Pass had already informed the Guannei of the news of the half-orc Nanluo. It's just that the silence in the pass doesn't cause big fluctuations. And the fire in the direction of Lin Cun completely broke the peace. Almost, carved from a single black boulder, Longquan Pass stands quietly on the side of the plain like a man-devouring beast. Divide the plains of Noda in two, half inhabited by humans and half-orcs on the other.

After seeing the sky-high flames in the direction of Lin Village, the defenders of the Guannai immediately reported to the Guannai Marshal's account, which was actually the mansion of the Longquan Guan Marshal. The marshal of Longquan Pass, Chen Yuanhou, the Duke of Wei, stood in front of the sand table, and the generals stood silently on both sides. Just waiting for an order. After a long time, Chen Yuanhou said slowly:

"To the northwest of Lin Village, it is one of the mountain passes, if the wolf rider is just going south to raid, there is no need to set fire to attract our attention at night, let's talk about your opinions!"

"The last general, Qu Hui, I think the wolf rider may have been just a momentary negligence, and was set on fire by the local villagers and leaked the news. The top priority at the moment is to send scouts to check the enemy's situation and know oneself and the enemy, so that one can not be defeated in a hundred battles. A sturdy bald general responded with a fist clenched.

"The last general Qi Lu ginseng, the light sent to the exploration horse is too passive, the wolf horse robbery is often a team of ten people, a team of twenty people, and the giant wolf has a keen sense of smell, the short-range explosive power is amazing, if a single exploration horse is not careful, it is difficult to survive, and it is a waste of time to go back and forth, it is better to send my cavalry regiment, two tithes, bring two days of dry food, search and advance, meet a small team of wolf horses, where to find, where to exterminate. A black-faced, short-bearded general responded with a fist clenched

The last general seconded. There were three or two generals who clenched their fists and seconded the proposal.

"No, the troops are scattered and the strength is insufficient, if the wolf riders are assembled, what can be done?" a military general in his thirties responded with his fists clenched and competed against each other.

"Don't you look down on the combat strength of my light cavalry?" said a strong man in his thirties.

"The wolf rider is just Kouluo, how can he assemble? Don't you want to go to the county town in the south and climb the city wall with your hands?" said a cavalry general. Caused a burst of laughter. And the thirties general was not annoyed, but just reported again:

"The last general Li Bing, the day before yesterday, the capital reported that the Ninth Princess was ordered to work in the army, and now it should be only two hundred miles away from my Longquan Pass, what do you think if the wolf riders gather in the wilderness to attack the princess's camp?" Li Bing asked rhetorically. The generals looked at each other in silence.

"Why don't you send a general, lead five thousand heavy horses, and go south to protect the princess?" someone proposed.

"It's not proper, it's okay to charge the heavy cavalry, it's not durable to fight. "There was opposition

"Heavy cavalry dismounted, heavy infantry, with large shields, they just went to guard. It's not to rush into battle," someone agreed. Chen Yuanhou listened to the disputes of the generals, scratched his back boredly, bared his teeth from time to time, and had no sense of disobedience on his forty-something face. Occasionally pull out the tickle and scratch the table and knock the dander. It wasn't until the generals were arguing that they were red and wanted to fight, so they tapped the map hard with an itch. Suddenly the scene was silent. Once again, the congregation stood silent. Then he put down the tickle and started commanding with his hand on the map.

"Qi Lu, Huang Niu, each of your two light cavalry leaves two thousand men here to standby, and the rest of the light cavalry search and march in the northwest direction every two tithes, and when there are signs of enemy assembly, immediately assemble, like the southeast direction of the princess Xingyuan direction. Then he took the arrow and handed it to Qi Lu.

"Li Bing, Li Hao, each of your two light cavalry leaves 2,000 people here to standby, and the rest of the light cavalry search and march in the northeast direction every two tithes, and when there are signs of enemy assembly, immediately assemble, like the southwest to the direction of the princess Xingyuan. Then he took the order and handed it to Li Bing.

"Order the former army to march and return to Longquan Pass to hold on. Qu Hui, you are temporarily in charge of the defense of Longquan Pass on my behalf. I will ride five thousand heavy horses to the south to meet the princess's line, and from the signs, the princess's whereabouts have been exposed, and they will not take the bait for one bait, and I will go to the second. ”

"But..."Qu Hui looked at Chen Yuanhou worriedly.

"It's okay, I'll take you Yuan and Fang with me, and you'll be fine. Chen Yuanhou said with a smile. Then he turned to the crowd:

"Those who have been commanded by the generals return to the camp and prepare, and set out at once in half an hour, and there shall be no mistake. ”

"Order!" The generals clenched their fists and retreated, leaving only Qu Hui, Chen Yuanhou, and a junior colonel who was only a teenager.

"Master, Senior Brother sent a message the day before yesterday, he is chasing the bounty assassin, I'm afraid it has something to do with it. Qu Hui said.

"Hmm! It is said that the bounty assassin is not small, and he is known as the number one killer in the spiritual cultivation world, so he must be guarded against. The young school reminded.

"Alas, don't worry! With two teachers and nephews here, even if the cores of several major factions are exhausted on this battlefield, I can't do anything. Li You, your sister is here. Come with me?"

sighed.

"Alas, can I not go? My sister, if it were a man, a few of our brothers would be able to learn from Uncle Huang to open a casino in the capital, how could I use such a tiring errand. ”

Li You, the third prince dressed as a small school, said reluctantly.

"Hey, my sister is not far behind. Qu Hui muttered quietly. But he didn't want to be heard by Chen Yuanhou. "Smack!" tickled Qu Hui's bald head,

"You younger generations are bullied by women. Back in the day.... Halfway through the words, Chen Yuanhou said again, "It's time to get ready to go." ”

"Hey, the family is unfortunate!" Li You sighed when he saw Chen Yuanhou walking away.

"Hey, the tradition of the master!" Qu Hui also sighed.

The defenders of Longquan Pass moved very quickly after Chen Dashuai issued the order, and before dawn came, they had already opened and turned off, tens of thousands of elite horsemen poured out like a tide, and then the drawbridge closed again, as if nothing had happened, without the slightest delay.

"Zhou~~Brother Zhou, let's rest for a while~!" Lin Xiaoer, who had been walking until midnight, finally lost his strength and asked to rest. Zhou Zhe is no better.

"Just the front, the thicker there, lie down. Take a break and continue your journey. Zhou Zhe chose a thick place and lay down directly, it seemed like a big bed, and he wanted to fall asleep when he lay down. After a while, he actually heard Lin Xiaoer's snoring, but Zhou Zhe was suddenly alert, he was afraid that if he really fell asleep, he would not be able to hide his body as soon as he was in danger, so he put one ear to the ground, tried to listen to the sounds around him, and then sang quietly, afraid that he would fall asleep again.

"Twinkle and twinkle, the sky is full of little stars... The song was sung back and forth a few times, and when he was about to shout Lin Xiaoer to set off again, Zhou Zhe seemed to hear an unusual sound, confirming that it was not an illusion Zhou Zhe's ears were close to the ground and listened carefully, the rumbling rhythmic sound should be a cavalry, Zhou Zhe remembered that when the wolf rode at close range in Lin Village, there was no hard object on the feet of the giant wolf that resembled a horseshoe. Without hesitation, Zhou Zhe woke Lin Xiaoer up, didn't explain much, and ran directly in the direction of the sound of horses' hooves.

"Is it the military master of Longquan Pass?" Zhou Zhe was the first to shout. And this small group of cavalry is also well-trained, and after hearing the sound, the figure muttered a few words,

Then they each beat their horses and spread out in battle form. Then a sergeant with a beard on his face shouted:

"The one who came stopped, and reported his name and place of origin. ”

"Enron Village, Zhou Zhe. "Lin Village, Lin Tingwu. The two did not hesitate.

The rest continued to be on guard. You two come over and talk back. The bearded man shouted. Zhou Zhe approached slowly, and counted the number of people, 20 people, two or even the number of people, approached and looked at the outfit of the beard, wearing a black armor to protect the vital point, a longbow hanging behind the horse, and a short crossbow, more than a dozen arrows, and a few horses behind him, which should be carrying various military materials, by the way, as a spare horse, armed to the teeth of the light horse, Zhou Zhe secretly smacked his tongue. Another sergeant with a spear on his horse moved over, probably another sergeant. Sure enough, the man shouted:

"Wang Baihu, why don't you ask?" asked the bearded man, who turned around and asked, it was actually a centurion.

"Come on!" said a cold young man in his twenties. The beard nodded, obviously very familiar, so he turned around and asked Zhou Zhe and Lin Xiaoer:

"What's going on with the fire in Lin Village ahead?Have you ever encountered a wolf rider along the way?" After speaking, he handed over the water bladder and two dry pancakes, and Lin Xiaoer took the dry pancakes and devoured them

When he got up, Zhou Zhe took the dry pancakes and water bladders, drank a sip of water, and replied:

"The fire in Lin Village was set by me and Lin Xiaoer, An Ran Village and Lin Village were slaughtered, and the two of us were fortunate to escape. The wolves passing through Lin Village rode about 20-30 times per wave, about one wave per hour. The exact direction is unknown. Zhou Zhe's answer was very detailed and very organized. This surprised the bearded man, because most of the villagers who encountered the wolf rider asking for help would shout: "Official, the wolf rider is coming!" "Master Jun, the wolf rider is not a human." "Master Jun, make the decision for me!" If you are hungry in a hurry, you will be tired like Lin Xiaoer, and you will only gesture when asked what he says, or your mouth will be stuffed with the "mouth full of people" language that shouts: "Wow, wow, wow".

The beard was a little puzzled, then looked back at the centurion, and then turned around, Zhou Zhe slowly ate cheesecakes, drank water and continued:

"The wolf rode before and after slaughtering Anran Village and Lin Village, which is different from the usual behavior of only looting, it seems to be hiding his whereabouts, I don't know if Longquan Pass has received information in this regard, these abnormal behaviors should be taken seriously. After listening to Zhou Zhe's words, he couldn't ask anymore, because he didn't know what to ask again, but he just looked back at the centurion, as if he was asking for help, and he didn't want to embarrass the regular army at Longquan Pass. The cold young man also understood this, so he also said:

"Hmm, so what's your opinion?" the ball was kicked back to Zhou Zhe. Zhou Zhe took a sip of water, handed the water bladder to Lin Xiaoer, and continued:

"At this moment, the important thing is to pass this news to Longquan Pass, there is not only one team of wolf riders who are hiding their whereabouts, right? You should have experience in fighting them, they must have a way to turn them into a whole in the wilderness, and they must be guarded against. Give me some more pancakes for this brother!" Zhou Zhe said, not at all to the disaster victim he had just met. Zhou Zhe also has his plans, how dangerous the wilderness is, he doesn't need to fight here to die, it is safest to go to Longquan to close the cat. The beard took out a dry pancake and gave it to Lin Xiaoer.

"I know how the wolf riders are to assemble. I believe what you say, but I have to check it on the spot, it's a military order. Besides, don't you want to avenge your family?" Gao Leng's last sentence was very heart-wrenching, but it resonated with Lin Xiaoer, and he puffed out his cheeks and said:

"I want to !!" and then went back to eating bread.
