In the camp tent, the former master and slave have become brothers in life and death who fight together, Li Yin or Li Yao is naturally grateful for the reward with Shi Lixun, but it is precisely for this reward that Li Yin will take the initiative to enter Shi Lixun's camp and prevent him from continuing to track. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If this scene takes place between two real brothers, it is not worth stating, but it is naturally a lot stranger that this scene takes place between a slave and his master.

You must know that a young man like Shi Lixun, who has just won the crown, will naturally be arrogant in his heart when he leads the troops to "go out" for the first time, even if he is only in charge of a 500-person honor guard, Shi Lixun will inevitably be so arrogant that he can't see his strength clearly for a while, otherwise how could he lead the team to run everywhere without thinking about it when he got the emergency paperwork?

Now Li Yin can see that Shi Lixun in front of him has wrongly overestimated himself, and he is still falling deeper and deeper, for his safety, Li Yin has to slap Shi Lixun in the face with a loud slap, hoping to wake him up, but the price is likely to be that the reckless young general in front of him pulled out his sword and stabbed to death with a sword, a little slave who should have died twelve years ago.

But no way, who makes himself owe him too much?

Li Yin stepped forward and urged, "We should go back to Chang'an now, so that it is appropriate, if we continue to track it down, we will not have enough food and grass." Seeing that Shi Lixun still didn't reply, Li Yin said again, "It's already the bitter cold winter moon of the eleventh day, and it's a pity that many cities have been breached, but at most some border pariahs have died, and now the heavy snow has sealed the Gobi in the north, and the barbarians can't get by, and the various problems are not very big......"

With a crisp sound of metal colliding, Shi Lixun pulled the sword out of its scabbard and held it tightly in his hand.

Li Yin had long expected such a situation and was not afraid, so he paused and continued to open his mouth to argue, but Shi Lixun affirmed him and interrupted him.

"You're right, now that the weather is bad, let's go on the plateau again, and the Ringing Horse Gang will be able to solve us without monsters attacking." There was no displeasure on his face, and he pointed his sword at a certain place in the sand table. "Uh......" Li Yin didn't think that Shi Lixun would actually agree with his statement, and he didn't know how to respond for a while, so he could only lean closer and listen carefully to his analysis.

"If we go to Tianshui now, although we can catch up with our speed, the cavalry team of 500 people will not only not have the effect of defending the city, but will drag down their local garrison......" Shi Lixun drew circles on the sand table with the tip of his sword and said, "If they are really monsters with brains, then after they capture Tianshui, they will definitely attack the last and largest city nearby, Fengxiang." ”

Hearing the word Fengxiang, Li Yin sighed in his heart, and the bad memories of the past came to mind, making him very uncomfortable, since following Shi Lixun as his adjutant, Li Yin had many opportunities to go to Fengxiang to have a look, but he refused them all, because now he really doesn't want to admit his past identity as Li Yao and as a prince, and prefers to call himself a slave. It's not that it's about killing, it's just about dignity.

"So...... Checkmate? ”

"We'll pack up the camp in a while, and set off to Fengxiang immediately, which is only half a day's journey from Chang'an if we ride fast horses. First, we can replenish supplies in Fengxiang, and secondly, we can immediately send people to the capital to clarify the situation and ask for support. Shi Lixun calmly analyzed, and every sentence was reasonable, which surprised Li Yindu, because he had never seen Shi Lixun make suggestions.

"But ......"

"But what?"

"General, how are you so sure that they will attack Fengxiang City? Where is it more desolate than the governor's mansion, there are a lot of troops, even the barbarians who plundered from the north and south dare not approach the halfest, and Tianshui is also an important town, is it really not necessary? At this time, Li Yin's question happened to be the question he imagined Shi Lixun would make, but he didn't expect Shi Lixun to take these two points into account at all.

Shi Lixun withdrew his sword, patted Li Yin on the shoulder and chuckled, "Monsters are monsters after all, there is not even a dog left where they passed, and the dead are all broken limbs, and the bite marks are obvious, they are just like wolves who are going to spend the winter, just to eat, and they can't tell the difference between civilians and sergeants." ”

Shi Lixun opened the curtain of the battle, the north wind howled outside the battle, and the snow the size of coarse sand was wrapped and flew by, and it would hurt to hit people's faces, "As for Tianshui, it is indeed a bridgehead, but now that the heavy snow has been sealed in the north anyway, leaving the defenders to fight with those monsters can buy us time." ”

Shi Lixun left the camp tent in the snow, leaving Li Yin alone in the warm tent looking at the shaky fur curtain in a daze, he knew that he still underestimated the young general who had followed him since childhood.

Thinking about it, a chill suddenly rose in Li Yin's heart, and his natural sense of awe for Shi Lixun went to a higher level.

……

"Da-da-" Even in the wind and snow, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard from afar, and a cavalry dressed in gorgeous clothes galloped rapidly on the snow-frozen ground.

The horses were hung with many brass bells, which collided and rang all the way, so that even if the wind and snow obscured the view, the long procession could cling to each other by the ringing bells in their ears, and not get lost in the blizzard.

Walking along the official road from west to east, Shi Lixun, the leader, held the horse's head tightly so as not to let the team deviate, but the wind and snow in front of him were getting bigger and bigger, and gradually even he was a little powerless, so he could only slow down the overall pace of the team, while leaning on the roadside landmarks, while moving towards the destination little by little with his memory.

But once the team put down their footing, their whereabouts were very easy to detect and target, Feng Xue's greedy eyes were already staring at their team with a banner waving and showing a very conspicuous appearance, and then the storm became bigger and bigger, and they quietly moved to the side of the official road and approached Shi Lixun and them, who were still unaware.

Horses are always much more sensitive than people, and the horses of the whole team may smell the ominous smell in the air, and begin to panic, and the yellow horse under Rao is Shi Lixun also panicked to a certain extent, which naturally attracted his attention.

"Rest in place—it's not peaceful here." It's just that before he thought about it, Li Yin gave him an order.

The soldiers who had already galloped in the wind and snow and were shivering from the cold, cheered, reined in their horses' heads and fell off their horses, preparing to make a fire next to the official road to make food.

This was supposed to be something to be happy about, but the careless people didn't know that death was already on their heads.
