This is the fifth station where Scarlet Smoke has rested.

Along the way, everyone was paying attention to and talking about the war in the northern frontier, and everyone put that name on their lips, as if he alone was the patron saint of the entire southern country. However, this situation has changed dramatically not so long ago. King Xinling went to the banquet alone, did not listen to the proposals of other generals, and only brought 10,000 Red Armor troops to the battlefield, and was surrounded and suppressed by nearly 100,000 troops, with unknown whereabouts and unknown life and death. Moshui County missed, and the northern army burned, killed and looted everywhere it went, and there was no grass. Such news spread all over the streets in just half a day.

Some people say that King Xinling is stubborn and self-serving, some people say that he has no ability, but in fact he has no talent at all, some people say that he has already died under the iron hooves of the Northern Army, and some people dig out old accounts, saying that he abandoned his entourage and became a deserter...... She's heard a lot of these kinds of statements, and unless she sees them with her own eyes, she won't believe it at all.

After entering the post station, as soon as I took a sip of tea, I heard a voice not far away.

"Oops, the latest news, King Xinling is still alive!"

"What? Can 10,000 Red Armor troops survive against nearly 100,000 troops? It's not a loss to be the king of Xinling! ”

"That's it, where is King Xinling at this time?"

"I really don't know where this is, but what is certain is that King Xinling is a person, in the desert water mountain range, I can't tell, I really became a deserter, haha!"

However, as soon as the man's voice fell, he felt that the eyes of the people around him were wrong, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch his head with some doubts, "Hey? Isn't it? There are also rumors about the Red Armor Army before, I think it's all true......" However, this time, before he finished speaking, he felt a breath of Wei Xian, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He turned his head stiffly, and saw the crimson smoke that hid his entire face in the dark, revealing only a pair of eyes that made people shudder in the bottom of his heart.

"You can take medicine indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." Scarlet Smoke had been eyeing the man as he spoke. This person deliberately attracted everyone's attention, and then made a lot of nonsense, most of which were Wei Xian's eyeliner. It is really painstaking to put Yu Chimu to death and smear the reputation of King Xinling to the ground. After saying this, Scarlet Smoke turned around and left, leaving everyone with a dull face.

Although what the man said just now was not entirely true, Scarlet still believed what he said, and that person was still alive. As long as you live, there will be room for manoeuvre no matter what the circumstances.

Thinking of this, Scarlet Smoke straddled the horse's back, slapped his hand on the horse's buttocks, and galloped out of the horse with one man and one horse.

Along the way, many towns and towns, which were originally located at the junction of the north and the south, were prosperous due to the commercial exchanges between the two countries, but because of the sudden war, they became desolate. The wealthy and powerful of the city fled to the south, leaving behind only the old, weak, and the wounded.

After Scarlet Yan learned a little about the situation, he hurried to Qinghe County, which was less than a hundred miles away from Moshui County. However, she didn't expect that as soon as she stepped into Qinghe County, another team of soldiers blocked the way.

"Stop, what are you!" The first soldier looked at her coldly and shouted.

Raising his eyebrows, he looked at the man, and said lightly, "I'm here to find your general." ”

"Looking for our general?" The soldier looked at Scarlet Smoke in disbelief, but the next second he showed a mocking smile, "Are you talking about the one who was a deserter, or the deputy general Wu?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers behind the man all laughed knowingly, as if they had heard some big joke. But when these words fell on Crimson's ears, they were particularly harsh.

At this moment, there was a sound of "ding ding ding" in a house not far from her, followed by a woman's wail, "You can't take these away!" I beg you! Don't take it! ”

Out of the man's house came two soldiers, holding some gold and silver ornaments, and some jade artifacts. A woman dressed in coarse cloth chased after her, and grabbed the trouser leg of one of the flying men, looking sad.

"Bah, you stinky!" The soldier who was dragged spat at the woman and said viciously, "Don't you know that our Red Armor Army is repairing here? These things are all requisitioned by the army, dare to be dissatisfied? Damn it, hold it for Lao Tzu! ”

As if she didn't expect the man to say this, the woman's eyes showed despair, "Isn't the Red Armor Army protecting the people!" Would you still do such a robbery?! ”

The woman's words seemed to make the man laugh, and he kicked his foot violently and kicked the woman to the ground, "This is not a robbery, this is an army requisition, you remember it for Lao Tzu!" With that, he turned and walked away.

"God, why don't you open your eyes and see! In vain, our people regard the Red Armor Army as a protector, and they actually do such a thing! The woman sat down on the ground, a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth, and then her face showed a little madness, "You robber! I'm fighting with you! What is the difference between killing my husband and robbing my family of belongings and letting me die! The woman screamed and rushed at the soldier, not wanting to see what pierces her in the next second.

The soldier's colleague actually shot the woman through the heart with a sword!

What an army trimming! What an army requisition! This scene fell in Scarlet Yan's eyes, like an open flame, instantly igniting the fuse in her heart.

Without waiting for the soldiers in her way to react, she rolled over and stepped on the head of the soldier closest to her, and swept away. In the blink of an eye, they were in front of the two soldiers.

Drawing a dagger strapped to his leg, Scarlet Smoke stabbed it into the throat of one of them without hesitation, and with a sharp turn, the man was instantly killed.

At the moment when the scarlet smoke appeared, another soldier paused for a second and then retreated, trying to escape. But how could the furious Scarlet Smoke give him such a chance?

She reached out and picked up the spear that had fallen to the ground, and with a throw of her arm, it chased after the soldier as if it had eyes, and it would fall at his feet, stumbling him to the ground.

In just two seconds, the figure of Crimson Smoke had arrived, shrouded in the shadow of the woman, and the soldier's face turned pale with fright, and he wanted to retreat on all fours, his mouth open and closed like a fish that was about to suffocate out of the water, and he couldn't make a sound.

Crimson's eyes were cold, but there was a fire burning in his chest. As if she were looking at a dead man, she reached for her spear and whispered a few words, "Please." ”

Hearing this, the soldier's eyes widened in horror, and a staccato voice came out of his throat, "Please...... Please, let it go...... Leave me alone! Beg...... Please! Saying that, he prostrated on the ground, kowtowing and knocking "dong dong". After just a few strokes, blood oozed from his forehead.

However, in the next second, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a large amount of blood could not stop coming out of his mouth. His eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe he had died.

It all happened between the lightning and flint, and by the time the soldiers reacted, the scarlet smoke was already spear in his hand, and in front of them, it pierced the soldier's chest.

"Who the hell are you?"

Scarlet Smoke turned his head and looked at the questioning soldier with a smile, "I told you, I'm here to find your general." ”

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the scarlet smoke coming towards him, he swallowed his saliva fiercely, and couldn't help but take two steps back, and suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder, and couldn't help but shake his body. But he heard a voice ringing in his ears.

"This must be the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the princess of Zhun Xinling. Miss Scarlet, look up for a long time. In the lower Wu Chang. ”

Scarlet looked at the man who came galloping and reported to his home, and there was no warmth in his eyes. As soon as this person appeared, the soldiers who were frightened by her all looked stunned and regained their previous composure, it seemed that this Wu Chang was their leader.

With a sneer, Scarlet Smoke ignored the man, but picked up the gold, silver and jade scattered on the ground, walked to the dead woman's side, reached out and brushed the woman's open eyes, and put the property into her arms. After doing this, she got up and looked at the man who called himself Wu Chang again.

Seeing that he was ignored, a hint of gloom flashed in Wu Chang's eyes, since Wei Chimu's whereabouts were unknown, no one in this army dared to give him such treatment. But thinking of the background behind this woman, Wu Chang still suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and greeted Scarlet with a smile, "Miss Scarlet has come from thousands of miles away, why don't you find a clean place first, so that I can give you a clean wash?" ”

"Catch the wind and wash the dust?" The cold voice of the scarlet smoke sounded in everyone's ears, and she stretched out a jade finger and pointed to the two corpses not far away, "Isn't this counted?" ”

Looking at Scarlet Smoke's fingers, the corners of Wu Chang's eyes twitched, "What is Miss Scarlet talking about?" There must be some misunderstanding here, so let's find a place to sit down and have a good talk......"

"Talk?" Scarlet Smoke's expression was three points colder, "It's about why the soldiers under your command robbed the homestay and killed innocents indiscriminately." Or do you want to talk about the soldiers in your army, and you don't have military laws and regulations," the woman paused, and then said word by word, "Or, Vice General Wu wants to talk to me about why the generals of the southern country are trapped in the enemy army, but they have not sent reinforcements after so many days?!" ”

Every word of the scarlet smoke was loud, as if it was going to hit people's hearts. When Wu Chang heard this, his face darkened one by one.

"Miss Scarlet is afraid that she is joking, the general said when he left, no one can step out of the desert water defense line without other instructions, we are just acting on orders." Wu Chang said lightly.

"Good one to do what he is told." Scarlet Yan sneered, "Then dare to ask Adjutant General Wu, the general is not here, whose orders are you serving, and what are you doing?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Chang knew that he had fallen for a woman, and he sneered, "The general will not be subject to military orders abroad." Miss Scarlet is so smart, I guess I don't need to explain the truth in this. ”

Hearing this, the hand hanging by Scarlet Smoke's side clenched tightly, "Where is the Red Armor Army?" ”

Wu Chang's lips lifted, and he pretended to regret and said, "All of them were sent out by the general." ”

"Heh," Scarlet smiled suddenly, and that smile was like the warm sun in April, making Wu Chang stunned in place.

Scarlet Yan slowly walked in front of Wu Chang and exhaled like an orchid, "In my opinion, Vice General Wu will not cry when he sees the coffin." ”

As soon as the words fell, the dagger in Scarlet Smoke's hand arrived. With a flash of cold light, Wu Chang reflexively stepped back, looking at the slightly blue dagger, he was afraid for a while, and the dagger fell on his throat in the next second.

"You...... What are you doing? ”

"If he dies, I'll bury you and your whole team with him!"
