Chapter 12: The army arrives

Cui Fatman's snoring had already sounded, and he didn't seem to be woken up by the sound of horses' hooves outside.

However, the village chief was very excited, he got up from the ground as soon as he jumped up, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes, which made Tang Yun look at him a little more.

When the village chief saw Tang Yun looking at him, he couldn't help but smile and said: "When I was young, I went south and north, and I couldn't sleep well when I slept this night, and I could hear any movement outside very clearly." ”

Tang Yun didn't pay any attention to him, and quietly walked from the house to the courtyard. Leaning against the door, he looked out through the crack in the door.

I saw that on the dark village street, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves. The monsters that were originally gathered in front of the ancestral hall had disappeared, and Tang Yun waited for a while, just in time to see several figures shuttling by.

"General Qiyu, all the houses in the village have been searched, and no signs of living people have been found." A rough voice came.

These people were all sergeants, and the armor on their bodies was also slammed into each other. Such a complete armor that only the forbidden army can have. It seemed that Jing Liang had already found the reinforcements, Tang Yun slowly pushed the door open, and happened to collide with Jing Liang who rushed over to open the door.

"It turned out to be an adult!" Jing Liang was startled, a person suddenly appeared under the dark night, and when he got closer, he realized that it was Tang Yun.

"Who's coming?" Tang Yun crossed Jing Liang and walked in front of the sergeant.

Jing Liang followed and said: "Xia Guan went to the palace, and it was already a little late when he arrived, but fortunately, Xiao Zhizhao personally introduced Xia Guan to the front of the car. It's also a coincidence that the one on duty happens to be the right Xiaowei ......"

Right Xiaowei, needless to say, it must be Lu Pengyuan.

Since the last theft of the silver treasury, although Lu Pengyuan said that he had made a contribution in recovering the tax silver, he also lost the tax silver in his right Xiaowei. If the merits and demerits are offset, they will not be investigated.

Since this incident, Lu Pengyuan's whole person has also been depressed a lot, after all, the feeling of falling on a cliff is not something that anyone can experience. Lu Pengyuan also figured it out, anyway, he was also a member of the royal family. Wait until the qualifications are mixed enough, and after the big deal, you can be crowned a prince and be at ease in the capital.

"Brother Tang, since the last time I saw you in the capital, I didn't expect to meet you here again!"

Lu Pengyuan came to Tang Yun with his fists in front of him, and said loudly with a smile on his face. Since the last time Tang Yun saved Lu Pengyuan's life on the cliff, Lu Pengyuan was also grateful to Tang Yun.

Tang Yun and Lu Pengyuan clasped their fists and saluted, and then said, "Mu Da, I didn't expect you to come this time. You have to be mentally prepared. This time, I'm afraid it's not a good character. ”

Lu Pengyuan chuckled in his heart when he heard this, but then smiled and said: "You can rest assured of this, I won't be as abrupt as last time." ”

After speaking, Lu Pengyuan motioned to the guards around him to play the trumpets, and after a while, the sound of horses' hooves around became more and more noisy.

In the darkness, countless soldiers armed with torches rushed over from all directions.

Tang Yun saw the two Panlong Flags, his eyes suddenly froze, and he turned his head and said, "Two thousand? ”

"Since there is His Majesty's will and military talisman, I don't need to prepare more people in case of accidents." Lu Pengyuan said with a smile.

Two thousand people, even on the battlefield, is not a small force. In such a small village, almost everywhere stands. As far as the eye could see, there was a sea of torches.

Tang Yun smiled bitterly: "Do you know that what we met this time is not something that can be overcome by a large number of people." Tell me, did you meet those monsters when you came? ”

"The monster? Jing Shaoqing told me when he came, but I really didn't meet any monsters along the way. Lu Pengyuan touched his head.

This is strange, these monsters were still chasing Tang Yun and them at that time. But when Lu Pengyuan came, he disappeared.

Tang Yun dragged Lu Pengyuan over and instructed him carefully; "You can call these men, those monsters don't know where they have gone. I fear that they will leave this place, and if they go to the surrounding counties or villages, it will be a disaster.

It's okay for these people of yours to go into battle to kill the enemy, but for these monsters, too many people are a drag. You send a thousand men out and rush to nearby villages and county towns, telling them to close their doors and windows and watch out for those monsters. As for the others, they went into the mountains with me to look for them.

Remember, you must keep your distance when you encounter that monster. Try to avoid close combat, and don't get hurt by them, those monsters have a strong corpse poison on their bodies. ”

"This is also true, Brother Tang, you know much better than me, you can do what you say about this matter!"

Lu Pengyuan was just about to give the order after speaking, when suddenly a cold wind blew from the fields in the dark night. Faintly, a long howl came from the surrounding valley.

"Village chief, do you still have wolves here?" Tang Yun didn't look back, he had already heard the footsteps of the village chief.

The village chief bent over, hugged his fists and said, "My lord, I often wander around this back mountain on weekdays, but I have never seen any wolves." Of course, if you come from somewhere else, you won't be able to care about it. ”

Tang Yun sneered, and didn't bother with this old man.

At this moment, the long howl came out of the mountains and forests one after another. Tang Yun's brows suddenly furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "This voice is not right, it is not the cry of a wolf." ”

Lu Pengyuan said curiously: "It's not a wolf, is it another beast?" ”

Tang Yun's heart was pounding, he was listening, the wolf hunter had been walking in the dark all year round, and he had lost his eyesight, but he could also hear and distinguish his position.

"Let's act, let your people separate, there are so many people that we can't go up the mountain!" Tang Yun pointed to the ancestral hall behind him again, "By the way, take them away too, your people will be stationed in Luhun County today, waiting for support at all times." ”

Right Xiaowei is worthy of being a forbidden army, Lu Pengyuan waved his hand, and soon took action.

The village chief, Mao Sui, recommended himself, saying that he had medicine with him, and he knew very well that he could lead the way to the army because of the nearby mountain roads.

Although the village chief is very old, he looks quite tough. Tang Yun agreed, and a group of people went straight to the back mountain along the mountain road.

The whistling sound is still there.

Burst after burst, as if a ghost was crying.

Lu Pengyuan felt a little panicked in his heart, and couldn't help but tremble: "Brother Tang, do you hear what this thing is?" ”

Tang Yun made a silent gesture for him.

It's not like the roar of a beast.

It's like a woman.

Heart-rending weeping.

The sergeants were halfway up the hill when someone suddenly exclaimed.

Thump!

Everyone's torches were suddenly extinguished, and as Tang Yun's line of sight looked, this long dragon composed of torches gradually extinguished the flames. All is back in darkness.
