The glimmer of the morning sun on the earth is like morning dew, and the rain that once sprinkled on the ground in the early morning is still left on the leaves, and the morning sun shines through the rain-soaked leaves. Outside the sunlit woods is a majestic pass. Xiongguan is hidden under the rain and dew and the morning sun, which is very mysterious and thorough. On the city gate of Xiongguan is inlaid with an ancient plaque, on which are written three vermilion characters in lacquer red color -- "East Linguan".

This Xiongguan stretches for dozens of miles, and there is a team of heavily armed troops patrolling the tower, and under the banner of the tower stands a general wearing this black cloak. Behind the general stood two ghostly assassins, protecting the general. The black-cloaked general sat on a chair under the closed flag, looking solemnly at the outline of Wakajo outlined in the faint sky not far away.

"Report to General He Yu, the whole army is ready, I don't know when we will attack Ruocheng?" The general sitting on the tower of the city received a message from a herald who rushed over from outside the city, He Yu stood up from his chair with dark excitement, and turned to look at the army that had already been prepared in the pass. He Yu took a deep breath and shouted loudly towards the east of the pass: "Soldiers, the best time to fight has come! The whole army is completely ready, then let's go! Target, Ruocheng! According to the report of our spies, there are not many defenders of Ruocheng now, and because Wang Ming, the defender of Ruocheng, has been brought back to Xuancheng for some reason, the new defender of Ruocheng has not yet arrived. This is the best time for us to take Ruocheng, and when we take Ruocheng, we can enter Jincheng, and even enter Huicheng in the south. If that time really comes, the entire Qi country will fall into strong turmoil, and there will be hope for us to revive the Ming clan!"

"Long live the Bright Moon Heavenly Kingdom!"

"The whole army, attack Ruocheng!"

"Yes!" The whole army of the Ming tribe that had been assembled in the East Linguan had already been excited, their weapons were sharpened, their swords and guns were unsheathed, and all the soldiers shouted in response to He Yu's call.

"Okay! The forward army will set off first, and I will lead the rear army to arrive later, remember, our plan is to directly attack Ruocheng through the bamboo forest, no matter who it is, the first person to climb the head of Ruocheng, I will make him the commander of Ruocheng!"

Under the heavy reward, there will naturally be countless brave men competing for it. All the 5,000 soldiers of the former army gathered in the east border immediately shouted everywhere, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

He Yu's means have been achieved, he motioned to the flag officer not far away to wave the red flag, the red flag was unfurled in the wind, and the five thousand people of the front army quietly left the East Linguan in such an early morning, and went straight to Ruocheng through the bamboo forest between Ruocheng and Donglinguan. I want to take advantage of such a good opportunity to take Ruocheng first.

Watching the back of the 5,000 vanguard army set off smoothly, He Yu, who was standing on the east side of the gate tower, wearing a black cloak and deerskin boots, had a victor-like expression on his face. Seeing the majestic posture of this front army, He Yu even felt that his rear army did not have to be dispatched, just as a support army.

The 5,000 vanguard army left the East Linguan and went straight to the direction of the bamboo forest, because their army had lived around the East Linguan for a long time, so they also knew this bamboo forest very well. In just a few moments, five thousand people had already appeared outside the bamboo forest.

Now that the weather has turned colder, there is a trace of ice flowers condensed by morning dew hanging on the bamboos in the bamboo forest, but the five thousand troops do not know how to go. A veteran who had entered this bamboo forest told others that this bamboo forest was very strange, and there was a mysterious miasma in it that enveloped the entire bamboo forest, and once someone had no way to deal with these miasma, there would be only one dead word when entering this bamboo forest. The veteran finally suggested that the whole army find a guide who lived in the bamboo forest, otherwise, the consequences of rashly entering this bamboo forest would be very serious.

The rest of the soldiers were somewhat stunned by the gray-haired veteran's solemn words, but some of the high-spirited soldiers refused to listen to what the veteran had to say, and these soldiers insisted on sneaking up on Ruocheng through this bamboo forest, but many of the soldiers who supported the veteran insisted on looking for a guide outside the bamboo forest before entering the bamboo forest. So, the army of 5,000 men was divided into two groups, one group quickly entered the bamboo forest to find the way to Ruocheng, and the other group dispersed to various places outside the bamboo forest to find a guide who could guide them on the way, otherwise they would not dare to enter the bamboo forest.

The more than 2,000 people who remained outside the bamboo forest were led by the gray-haired veteran, who sent them outside the bamboo forest to find a guide who could take them into the bamboo forest. In less than a quarter of an hour, a group of about a hundred soldiers brought back two young men, a man and a woman. The veteran said that they were residents of this bamboo forest, and they could take them out of the peach blossom miasma in the bamboo forest and take them directly to Ruocheng. However, a messenger sent by the group said that the young men and women had made a condition that they would be rewarded accordingly.

"This is simple, as long as they can lead us safely through this bamboo forest to Ruocheng, I will naturally give them a rich reward, enough for them to live happily for a lifetime. Then bring them here, and I'll ask them first. The gray-haired veteran's face finally showed a comfortable smile, and he was quite willing to let him pay as much as he wanted to do now.

"Yes!" the messenger rushed back, and in a short time the army of a hundred men brought the young man and woman to the gray-haired veteran. The veteran walked to the young man and woman who were surrounded by more than 100 people, and the veteran couldn't help but admire the incomparably handsome growth of the young man and woman.

The young woman was dressed in a pale blue robe with a round neck, a bamboo basket woven with bamboo strips on her right arm, and a pair of pink satin embroidered shoes with bright soles on her feet, and her face was as beautiful as a red apple in winter. People can't help but like it when they see it, and the male soldiers around this young woman can't help but secretly saliva and talk softly.

The young man was also a talent, although there were no women around to marvel at the young man. But these soldiers around couldn't help but secretly belittle that they were not as handsome as this young man.

The young man was dressed in this red and black robe, with a slight smile on his face, and a pair of black deerskin boots on his feet. The boots were also a gift from his master, and the young man kept them in his cherished possession, and he wore them on this day.

This pair of young men and women were Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, who had returned to the bamboo forest from Ruocheng before, and they were talking and laughing along the way, and before they had time to return to the bamboo forest, they had always seen this army of thousands of people moving towards the bamboo forest. Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing were keenly aware that the origin of this army must be unusual, and perhaps they had some conspiracy. Sure enough, Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing were brought to this gray-haired veteran by an army of about 100 people before they returned to the bamboo forest.

"You two, are you the people who live in this bamboo forest?" The veteran was very amazed at the whereabouts of Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing. However, amazed and amazed, this veteran naturally did not forget to interrogate the process of entering this bamboo forest first.

"Yes" Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing pretended to be the usual fear of ordinary people, and their voices deliberately revealed that they were a little timid.

The gray-haired veteran didn't find that Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing were pretending to be cowardly, and the veteran was a lot relieved in the face of such two people, so he also said straight to the point: "Actually, you probably know about it, and to tell you the truth, we are an uprising army." From the east of the pass, we were going to attack Ruocheng directly, but we were not familiar with the road, and it was said that there was some kind of mysterious miasma in this bamboo forest, so we did not dare to pass through this time. I was looking for the two of you as guides, but I didn't expect to find two girls and teenagers who were so in demand. However, if you don't cooperate with us well, you should be able to think of the consequences. This veteran didn't talk to Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing in a roundabout way, and directly told Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing their battle plan.

Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing didn't react for a while, why such a veteran told the two of them all the battle plans so easily. Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing suddenly felt deeply inexplicable, but when their eyes met the veteran's slightly deep and solemn gaze. The two of them suddenly remembered something, Xia Qing took advantage of the fact that the soldiers around him didn't pay too much attention to Feng Baiyi's hand gently, and said in a low voice: "I remember, this veteran seems to be one of my uncle's demon spirit secret envoys, I have seen him more than once, I have an impression of him." ”

"Really?" Feng Baiyi also lowered his voice, he didn't know much about their uncle's demonic spirit envoy. So he asked again for the sake of safety.

Xia Qing nodded heavily, "Don't worry, it must be true, this shows that in fact, my uncle has known about this matter for a long time, so Ruocheng must also be on guard." As long as we follow them secretly, we may be able to solve our hidden dangers."

"How are you thinking about it?Are you willing to cooperate with us?" Just as Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing were talking in a low voice, the veteran in front of them suddenly spoke and interrupted the conversation between the two of them.

Feng Baiyi stretched out his right hand, Xia Qing also stretched out his left hand to Feng Baiyi's hand, and the two of them were interlocked. At the same time, they nodded deeply to the veteran in front of them, indicating that they agreed with the "cooperation" plan that the veteran had said.
