I lifted my legs and ran to the long grass that was most hidden and closest to the foot of the mountain. I was surprised to find that I was like the wind under my feet, and the speed was amazing. Running less than a foot away from the grass, he jumped up and landed firmly in the middle of the weeds. Although it was not intentional on my part, it was like a deeply rooted body memory, which naturally aroused in the face of crisis.

Although I was surprised, I didn't have time to think about it.

The wound on my left shoulder was sharpened again by the movement, and I held the ground with one hand to prevent it from falling, and covered my mouth with the other to avoid making a sound of pain, and quietly watched everything outside.

Sure enough, in just a moment, a mighty brigade of men and horses galloped in. Although the distance is too far to see really, it can be roughly seen that hundreds of soldiers in front of and behind are all iron-clad uniforms. The man who rode the white horse for the first time was about a general, wearing a bright steel helmet, wearing a complex silver armor, and his whole body was extravagant, indescribably mighty and extraordinary.

He took the reins at the place where I had just stopped by the lake, and the group stopped in a hurry, and the only thin man on a brown horse squeezed out of the crowd, and although his mount was not more expensive than that of the general, he was slightly different from the rest of the soldiers in his clothing, and he thought he was a non-commissioned officer of some name. He dismounted and took a few steps forward, looked at the lake in front of him, picked up Qianyun and knelt beside the white horse.

"Tell the general, the last general chased here last night, and saw that the female thief made a light effort and fled to Lianyue Mountain."

Strange, even though the valley was clean and the soldiers were silent, how could I hear the man when he was not less than a hundred meters away from me......

"Lianyue Mountain......" The white horse general spoke in a leisurely tone, but his voice was extremely clear and spread extremely far. Really? ”

"The last general will not dare to deceive the general."

"When she entered the mountain, you didn't catch up?" General White Horse squinted at the non-commissioned officer who was bowing down, and seemed to be a little contemptuous. "Xiaoyao, this doesn't look like yours."

"The last general will not dare." The non-commissioned officer named Xiao Yao panicked slightly, and his body bowed lower, "Although the last general hopes to help the general capture the female thief, he also knows that the marquis has an order, and no one from the Lihou Mansion is allowed to enter the chain moon mountain for half a step. As the deputy general of the Hou Mansion Praetorian Guard, the last general naturally did not dare to disobey the orders of the Hou Ye. ”

"Adjutant General...... You, the deputy general, were personally sealed by the Hou Ye, but you are very decent. General Baima snorted lightly, but his gaze became more and more fierce when he stared at Xiao Yao, "This general only needs to be fearless and disobey me, and even dare to disobey the words of the Hou Ye." ”

"The general laughed, the last general has taken office, and he is not very familiar with many affairs, where can he not obey the general..."Xiao Yao raised his head, looking at General Baima's eyes but there was no fear, "What's more, if there is no recommendation from the general, where can the last general get the blue eyes of the marquis?" ”

"If you have General Ben in your eyes, how could you go out of the camp last night to hunt down that female thief without an order?" General Baima's tone became more and more gloomy, "In your heart, is it heavier to flatter and invite merit to Hou Ye than General Ben's military order?" ”

The general was serious. It's just that last night's incident happened suddenly, and the last general only recited Hou Ye's instructions earlier, and if General Wen couldn't take care of everything, let the last general give him some pointers. Xiao Yao's tone was strange, and he looked directly at General Baima with a smile, "What's more, the situation was critical last night, and you were stunned by the female thief, and the last general saw that you were desperate and took the lead, so I dared to follow you, weigh it again and again, and go out of the camp to catch the thief." ”

"Ridiculous! When General Ben was alone with the female thief last night, you didn't bring reinforcements, but you chose me and her to go out alone. Xiaoyao, what kind of heart do you have! General Nawen stared straight at his lieutenant, obviously furious. Also, when did Master Hou give you any instructions? This general has followed the Hou Ye for many years, guarded the Hou Mansion, and never missed a point, why do you need a deputy to guide you! ”

"I knew you didn't believe in the general...... In any case, the last general still kindly reminds the general, can you say this to the last general here today, or because the last general found the whereabouts of the female thief last night, and the Hou Ye learned about it and asked the last general to lead you to bring people here to search. Rather than arguing endlessly about last night's events, it is important to find the daring thief and return to his life as soon as possible. Xiao Yao's expression was arrogant, and although he was kneeling, he straightened his waist more and more.

"But if the general has to pursue it, the last general can also be clear here. The Hou Mansion has always stipulated that soldiers in the outer garden are not allowed to trespass into the inner garden without being called. You are the chief general of the Tang and Tang Janissaries, so you naturally have the right to enter the inner garden to catch thieves. But the last general is humble, but he has no such power. If the general insists on blaming the last general for not entering the palace last night for reinforcements, the last general has nothing to say, so he can only abide by his duty and strive to be loyal to the Hou Ye within the scope of his authority, so he chased it here, leaving a clue for the Hou Ye to capture the female thief. Dare to ask the general, if you encounter a situation like last night, should the last general ignore the rules of the Hou Mansion and enter the inner garden to protect you, or should he take the lead and do his best to share the worries of the Hou Ye? ”

General Wen's face swelled into the color of pig liver, and he was so choked that he couldn't spit out half a sentence for a while. The waist of the horse was unsteady, and there was some hasty shaking.

His gaze wandered, and for a moment he seemed to be looking at the grass where I was hiding.

My heart suddenly rose to my throat, and the hand covering my mouth became more and more airtight. Suffocating and slow, a few seconds passed, and he seemed to think that he was just mistaken and finally returned his gaze to Xiao Yao. My heart was pounding, and I swept the wound on my shoulder that had been repeatedly cracked, and then I realized that the female thief they spoke of might have something to do with me.

Or rather, what does it have to do with this seriously injured girl......

"What is the safety of General Ben... Naturally, everything should be done with Hou Ye first......"

"The general is wise."

"It's just Xiaoyao, you should understand. You are Hou Ye's family army, Hou Ye's minion, and you are also my deputy general, my minion. I have always despised the old master, a person who is eager for quick success. I don't like it, and Hou Ye won't like it either. "General Wen didn't lower his tone, but he no longer had the thunder momentum of the right talent." If you are delusional and forget how you climbed up step by step, then you are too selfish and too inferior. ”

"Where is this, general, that female thief's martial arts are very good, if it weren't for the poison of your golden ring dart, where would the last general be able to chase here? The last general has to make this contribution, and naturally there is also the cooperation of the general. Xiao Yao's voice was sharp and harsh, which was unpleasant to hear, "In the final analysis, the last general is Hou Ye's minion, but the general is also Hou Ye's minion." You and I complement each other, but you are not completely useless in the events of last night. I want to come to the Hou Ye to be so strict with you before leaving, it is really too harsh, and I hope that the general will not be discouraged, and it is important to cheer up your spirits as soon as possible and capture the thief with the last general. ”

General Wen became more and more angry and speechless. He clenched his teeth tightly, as if he had infinite hatred, but he was suffering from the fact that the general was pressed by the Hou Ye, and he wanted to suppress it but had no way to start, so he could only let him get carried away in front of everyone.

For a moment, his gaze seemed to be cast in my direction again, but it contained indescribable embarrassment and embarrassment, as if he had discovered me.

I bit my fingers, fending off the intense incoming vertigo. It became more and more clear in their hearts that they were most likely the female thief who was hit by General Wen's poisonous dart. I couldn't help but feel more and more frightened the more I thought about it, but I couldn't hide it, I only hoped that the general would be more powerful, and continue to argue with his lieutenant, buy me time, and come up with a way to get out......

"Then dare to ask the general, do you want to send someone to search the mountain?"

My heart is tight, I still can't avoid it......

"Bold...... You know that Lianyue Mountain is forbidden by the Hou Ye, and no one in the Hou Mansion is allowed to trespass, how can you wantonly search the mountain for a little assassin! General Wen shouted, "Xiaoyao, your errand is getting better and better now, and you dare to defy Lord Hou's ban!" ”

Things may turn around......

"The last general will not dare. It's just that before leaving, the Hou Ye said very clearly, he must bring the thief back to the Hou Mansion and hand it over to his old man for personal interrogation. Xiaoyao said unhurriedly, "If the general doesn't send troops up the mountain to search, how can he catch people?" ”

"That's not going to happen! Although Hou Ye wants to arrest people, no one has violated the mountain ban for more than ten years. It's still early for you to enter the camp, how can you understand the stakes! ”

"The last general does not understand. I would like to ask the general to understand, in addition to searching the mountains, what other good strategies do you have to catch the thief? ”

"Good ideas can be thought of otherwise. Or warn at the foot of the mountain, or go back to the house to tell the marquis to ask the emperor to send troops, no matter how bad it is, this chain of moon mountains is reckless, we send people to surround the foot of the mountain, forgive the female thief no matter how capable she is, she will eventually not be able to survive the hunger and cold and go down the mountain on her own, can you still live a lifetime on this mountain! ”

"The general's method is feasible, but it is too time-consuming and labor-intensive. If you really want to borrow troops from the emperor, these days have passed back and forth, but I am afraid that the female thief has already recovered from her injuries and escaped from the mountain. As for the siege of the mountain..."Xiao Yao smiled slyly, "but the last general thought ahead, and passed the military order for the general early in the morning and handed over to the government soldiers to do it." Thinking about it at this moment, the general and the last general were laughing, and the soldiers at the foot of the mountain had already been assembled and set up for guard. ”

"You...! What a deputy general of the Lihou Mansion Praetorian Guard, he really took care of General Ben thoroughly......" General Wen gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to draw his sword and stab it into Xiao Yao's chest at three moments. "It's just that you passed on military orders without permission, but have you ever asked General Ben for a word? Before the order, did you think that the soldiers of the palace had come to Lianyue Mountain, leaving the Hou Ye alone in the mansion, and then there would be more gangsters stealing and assassinating, and the Hou Ye was not enough to protect him, but how to make it! ”

"The general is angry... The last general's transfer of troops was last night, when you were knocked unconscious by thieves and were being carried back to the camp for treatment. The last general returned from tracking, and he really couldn't make up his mind, so he asked Hou Ye. It was also Hou Ye who approved the invitation of the last general, so that he could properly arrange it on the second day after the incident. ”

"You-well, it turns out that it is Hou Ye's approval again... The general will not pursue you. It's just that when you offered advice, did Master Hou say that you were allowed to send people to search the mountains? ”

"This..."Xiao Yao's voice weakened, revealing a weak heart for the first time. The matter is in a hurry, and the Hou Ye will not object to it......"

"Bold! Since the Hou Ye has never said it explicitly, who gave your dog the courage to make a big statement here, openly resisting the order and doing such a rebellious thing! General Wen's voice was like a bell, and he suppressed Xiaoyao's arrogance for a minute. The ban on the mountain was promulgated by the Hou Ye himself twelve years ago, and it was still told by the general to the people of the Hou Mansion back then. Do you, a mere lieutenant general, dare to openly disobey the orders of Lord Hou and me! ”

I was apprehensive in my heart, and secretly prayed that General Na Wen would be stronger and better to deal with the lieutenant who had been intent on searching the mountain.

From the conversation between the two, it is not difficult to hear that Xiao Yao is by no means a good type. It's just that no matter how clever and scheming he is, he would never have thought that the female thief he was bent on catching back and asking for merit from his marquis was hiding in the grass no more than a hundred meters away from their team, and listened to their plans word for word.

After a long time, that night Yao finally leaned down very reluctantly, and said lightly that he didn't dare. After that, the two did not fight again, and they were awkwardly quiet.

"General!" Suddenly, I heard the cry of ecstasy from Yohara. But he saw him step forward on his knees, grabbing General Wen's boot with one hand, but his eyes were staring straight at the ground pointed with the other hand, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably because of overexcitement. "General, look at the blood on the ground!"

Everything seemed to happen in that instant. General Wen dismounted in surprise, and before he could walk over to the bloodstain to take a closer look. His and his lieutenant's gaze was instantly drawn to the sound of me falling to the ground in a moment of panic.

My heart suddenly tightened, and there seemed to be a momentary rush of blood, and then there was a heart-rending pain on my shoulder. I subconsciously covered my mouth, but the low hum of pain had already overflowed from my lips and teeth. I was horrified to see General Wen a hundred meters away looking in my direction, as if he was a little stunned in disbelief. And although Xiao Yao's expression was not real, his body trembled very obviously because of the fanatical enthusiasm of suddenly seeing prey.

I tried to stand up, but in despair I found that my legs had lost sensation due to fear, and then I felt a terrible dizziness that flowed down the blood and rushed to my brain......

Everyone seemed to have a moment of sluggishness.

I saw the general and lieutenant in the distance turning their heads to each other's faces in an extremely strange way. I didn't have time to react in my head, but I saw that Xiaoyao suddenly drew his sword and got up, and rushed towards me like an arrow from a string. He was very fast, and the wind was whistling under his feet. I knelt weakly on the dry grass, already frightened, and watched in amazement as his hideous cheetah-like face approached.

And what was faster than him was the vertigo that instantly paralyzed his body. Fear, despair, weakness, pain, instantly pulled away from me. At the last moment when I closed my eyes and fell unconscious, I seemed to hear someone roaring in anger, the wind was blowing, and a cold silver light flashed in front of me, and I hit the back of my head on the ground, and I was no longer conscious......
