The night faded, and the daylight illuminated the rugged mountains and rocks inch by inch, and Xiang Qiu, who was asleep leaning on the mountain stones, was awakened by the sunlight.

He shook off the withered grass and leaves and fur wrapped around his body and stretched out, his tall body stretched out, as if he had just woken up from the warm brocade quilt, in fact, his bare skin was a little bruised, his handsome face with his beard cut off was haggard in the sun, and his whole person was also thin.

From Jiannan Road to Longyou, assassination, escape, hiding, he hid in the mountains and forests, hid in the downtown area, once gorgeous brocade robes and jade belts, hanging full of gold and silver jade, gorgeous and dazzling treasures of the treasure knife are gone.

At this time, the most familiar fellow villagers may not be able to recognize him when they stand in front of them.

Although Xiang Qiu is not rich and noble, the father and son have been prodigal for two generations, disliked and run everywhere, but it has never been so miserable as now.

Xiang Qiu didn't feel any bitterness, when he was rich, he ate meat and drank wine, and when he didn't have money, he could also drink blood for the bed.

Wrapping half of his body in fur, he jumped from the rugged rocks, and when he landed on the ground, he was already sweating slightly, and looked into the distance towards the beard, which had left Longyou, and the sound of the horse's hooves of the pursuing horses could not be heard, but it should not be taken lightly.

Xiang Qiu is bold but not arrogant, he does not allow himself to have accidents, he must keep this life, complete the commission of Mrs. Wu, he has been assassinated twice without success, and the situation will be more sinister.

Walking a short distance along the valley to a flat land, pedestrians gradually appeared on the road, there were poor and rich are all running in a hurry, although the appearance of the beard is frightening, but it does not frighten the passers-by to run and scream.

There are too many weird and embarrassed people in troubled times, and they themselves don't look much better.

Xiang Beard sat down on the side of the road, and when he saw a large group of chariots and horses coming, he waved and shouted, "Do you need to hire a guard?" ”

Only the rich will have carriages, horses and guards on the sidewalk, and in this troubled world, the rich need more guards.

Seeing Xiang Qi sitting on the side of the road, the people who were greeted were startled at first, and when they saw that he was only one person, and he was very good-looking, he didn't shout and shout to kill, some guarded and ignored the horse and passed, some would look a few more times before going over, and some would ask some curious questions.

"A certain ranger, born in the township, the four seas are home."

"Why is this the case? I met a bandit before, and I fought with them. ”

"Win or lose? So he was still alive and naturally not defeated. ”

Looking at the rich old man in the car pouting at the bearded man who was entrenched on the stone, like a beggar and a homeless person.

"This guy was obviously robbed by bandits, and he didn't even have any clothes left." He whispered, "Ranger just braggarts. ”

The old woman next to her looked outside with a smile in her eyes: "Ah, he's only one person, it's very powerful to be alive." ”

The old man snorted: "I can't see what he is powerful, except for his good face." ”

The old woman ignored him, lifted the curtain and asked, "How much does it cost you to be a guard?" ”

Xiang Qi said: "You don't need money, you can just take care of wine and meat." ”

Ask for wine and meat! The old man said distressedly: "Now wine and meat are more difficult to find than money." ”

"Didn't we bring enough?" The old woman said, "If the road is robbed by bandits, it will be really over." ”

She ignored the old man, beckoned and agreed to hire Xiang Qiu as a guard, and asked people to find a set of clothes for him, watching Xiang Qi put on a robe, even if he only held a broken sword in his hand, he was majestic.

"The thief is afraid when he sees it." The old woman said happily.

The old man had a dark face: "In addition to looking, do you have any other skills?" ”

Xiang Qiu raised his hand and waved forward: "I am very familiar with the roads around Longyou, where the town is stable, where there is a clean water source, where there is a remote short road, camping in the wild, driving wolves and avoiding snakes and scorpions, I can let you go where you want to go safely and quickly." ”

......

......

The barracks of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were stationed, like a town entrenched.

In the tent, Xiang Yun was being checked by two doctors, and then he was helped up and walked a few steps.

Although he walked slowly, his legs and feet could land, and the civil officials and generals present were relieved, but fortunately it was not as serious as his arms.

Although Xiang Yun's arm seemed intact, except for a simple lift, he couldn't grasp heavy objects, and it was already considered useless.

If he wastes another leg and foot, Xiang Yun is afraid that he will have to go back to Taiyuan Mansion to recuperate.

"Don't take it lightly!" Jiang Youdao.

Xiang Yun sat down: "Don't make a fuss, this is my own fall, there is no sword and poison." ”

After he finished speaking, he coughed a few times, and his voice became piercing like pulling a bellows.

"It's cold, adults are recuperating here, and if the injury is not good, it will make it even worse." One doctor said uneasily, "This cough is getting worse." ”

"Governor, hurry back to Longyou." Jiang You shouted.

After being assassinated, injured, and sick, they should indeed go back to a comfortable place to recuperate, and the officials present also pleaded one after another.

Xiang Yun waved his hand: "We are here waiting to arrest and interrogate the assassin to find out the conspiracy of the thief, do you have any news?" ”

The last sentence asks about the Assassins.

The civil officials in the tent looked at the generals, and the generals were ashamed, and the assassin disappeared without a trace as if he had never appeared.

"We've checked it all here." One of the generals said, "There is no trace." ”

"Maybe he's already fled." A general official road.

Jiang You said coldly on the side: "He may have escaped, but he will still appear, don't forget that this is the second time, there will definitely be a third and fourth time, and he will always follow the governor to wait for the opportunity to commit murder." ”

So what to do?

"The thief is eyeing the governor, and if he wants to mess with my Longyou, it is bound to win!" Jiang You said in a deep voice, "The governor can't leave Longyou, otherwise Longyou will be in danger!" Jiannan Road is in danger! Shuofang is in danger! ”

Does it mean that you can't send troops to Qianzhong? The civil and military officials in the camp looked at each other, their expressions were complicated, and they seemed to want to refute, but some of them couldn't open their mouths, ignoring the danger of the governor? Ignore the danger of Long's right? Ignoring the danger?

"Governor!" Outside the tent, a soldier ran in and shouted, breaking the strange stagnation, "The court has an order." ”

Imperial court? After the new emperor ascended the throne in Linzhou, the imperial court's edicts gradually increased.

"There is an order from the imperial court, and the guards from all over the country are stationed in the local area, expelling the rebels, and guarding the city to protect the people and stabilize the territory." The messenger knelt down and told the orders of the imperial court.

This is different from the beginning, when the first emperor was in the capital, the imperial court successively issued orders to transfer guards from all over the country to escort them into Beijing, but now it has become that the guards from all over the country are not allowed to run.

After all, now the world is in chaos, there are rebels everywhere, there are hundreds of thousands of troops led by Wu Ya'er in Linzhou, as well as the Lingwu Jingluo army, and the Mobei Zhenwu army as a barrier, which is enough to resist the invasion of the rebels, and the most important thing now is to pacify all places.

Hearing this signal, the others were still thinking about it, and Jiang You had already knelt down to Xiang Yun first: "Governor, please obey the emperor's order to guard Longyou!" Willing to send troops to Qianzhong for the governor! ”

When he knelt, many people also knelt down.

"Please don't disobey!"

"Please supervise Longyou!"

"We are willing to lead troops to aid Qianzhong for the governor."

More and more petitions in the camp surrounded Xiang Yun, Xiang Yun stood up and seemed to rush out, and immediately led his troops to Qianzhong, but he had no choice but to move an inch, and finally sat down with a long sigh.

"I'm the governor." He said, took off his long sword and handed it to a general at the forefront, "Please lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to help Qianzhong, no victory!" ”

The general took it with both hands, raised it above his head, and said in a hoarse and loud voice: "The last general obeys the order!" No win, no return! No death, no return! ”

The generals in the tent also stood up and shouted.

The sound came from the tent, like the wind blowing through the camp, and the soldiers and horses stationed there rose and fell merrily, and put on their horses.

"No win, no return!"

"No death, no return!"

The sound was like thunder, rolling along the right side of Longzhong to Qianzhong.

......

......

"What's that sound?"

"It's Longyou's soldiers."

The vibration in the distance made the pedestrians on the road ask one after another, looking frightened and uneasy, but there was no panic to run, as the saying goes, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, but from the prosperous era into the troubled times, everyone seems to be used to it quickly.

What can I do, I have no choice but to live like this.

It's not uncommon for guards to run around, the only thing to tell is whether it's a guard or a rebel, the guards won't burn the people, as long as they get out of the way in time, if it's a rebel, then it depends on luck, good luck can escape, bad luck is either killed or captured as a people's husband.

Since it is Longyou, everyone can rest assured.

"It's going to Jiannan Road."

"It's to kill the rebels."

Pedestrians talked.

"After the mountain col in front, it is Weishui City, and you can go straight from Weishui City all the way to Linzhou."

A loud voice came from ahead to interrupt the discussion, and the passers-by looked up to see the young ranger who was leading the way at the front, called Xiang Bearded Young Ranger, waving his hand.

"Let's go, let's keep walking."
