Yan Liqiang rode his horse with everyone, even though the sky was completely dark, but with a little light from the sky, everyone still did not stop.

The entire team, after the battle just now, is less than a hundred people alive, and many of them are still wounded.

The horse blood that was splashed all over the body, I didn't feel anything in the battle just now, but now, Yan Liqiang felt that his whole body was wet and sticky, and the clothes soaked in horse blood were tightly attached to his skin, mixed with the sweat on his body, with a restless bloody atmosphere, which was very uncomfortable.

The howls of wild wolves and night owls rise and fall in the wilderness, with a terrible chill, in the uninhabited wilderness, a mountain slope or a continuous shrub from it, looking from a distance, you can always see some eyes glowing green or red staring at the speeding team, some are running behind the team, and even trying to get closer, it is all kinds of fierce beasts in the wilderness, cunning and fierce, if it is not for the team of a group of people is large enough, those fierce beasts, may have already pounced.

The passion and enthusiasm of the battle were slowly calming down, and looking at the corpses of the guards who were tied to horses in the team, Yan Liqiang's mood was heavy, and he couldn't be happy at all.

The one who really deserved to die sat on the rhinosaurus horse well, protected by a group of people, and did not lose a single hair, while those who did not deserve to die left this world early.

Yan Liqiang's mood was a little complicated, and for the first time in his heart, he began to wonder if it was worth sacrificing so many people just to send Sun Bingchen to the imperial capital.

These sacrificed guards are not Sun Bingchen's henchmen, but just the ordinary sergeants of Sun Bingchen's Imperial Front Ma Bu Division who received the escort task when Sun Bingchen left the imperial capital as an inspection envoy, they are just ordinary people, and Ye Tiancheng, Sun Bingchen, and the prime minister of the imperial capital have no too deep relationship with the emperor, and they are soldiers, just to eat for a while, and now, they died in the northwest of the empire, and died in the hands of a group of black wind thieves who also had little to do with them, just to send a corrupt official who should have been cut off a thousand times long ago to the imperial capital, and become a small bargaining chip in the game between His Majesty the Emperor and the prime minister......

Maybe these people who are alive now, in the days to come, there will be people who will die.

Is it worth it?

......

The team ran silently, no one spoke along the way, and Yan Liqiang did not speak, until after turning one hill after another and dirt slopes, a light finally appeared on the road ahead.

"The front is the Gray Family ......Collection," Liang Yijie shouted, and everyone in the silent team quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then everyone grabbed the belly of the rhinoceros dragon horse, and everyone rushed towards the Gray Family Collection.

When he came to the Gray Family Collection, Yan Liqiang found that this Gray Family Collection was an earthen fort.

Outside the whole gray family market, there is a layer of more than two meters high nearly three meters of broken earthen wall, in the earthen wall, there are several higher and simple arrow towers, the torches on the earthen wall are whirring in the night wind, above the earthen wall and the arrow tower, there are still people patrolling and guarding, in the middle of that earthen wall, there is also a gate, there are two wooden cages on both sides of the gate, inside the wooden cage is the head of the person who has been completely dried......

In the northwestern states, many wild market towns far from the cities are like this, all of them try their best to become fortresses, high walls and deep ditches, in order to guard against robbers and horse thieves, of course, the folk customs in these places are also very strong, that is completely thousands of years of war experience.

When Yan Liqiang saw them rushing over, the people patrolling the earthen wall and the arrow tower seemed to be startled, and some people learned the wolf howl on the earthen wall, and then in the blink of an eye, many people with weapons and longbows rushed to the earthen wall and arrow tower.

When Yan Liqiang and them rushed to more than two hundred meters away from the outside of the earthen wall of the Gray Family Fort, among the people who appeared on the earthen wall, someone shot arrows at Yan Liqiang and them.

With a "......" sound, the arrow slashed a distance of more than 200 meters and nailed to the ground in front of them, and half of the entire arrow did not enter the ground, showing strong strength.

This obvious warning made Yan Liqiang and the others stop all of a sudden.

"Who are you?" a man in a dogskin hat and dressed in gray clothes stood behind the earthen wall, half exposed, and shouted loudly to Yan Liqiang's side.

"We are passing officials, and we want to stay overnight in Gray Family Fort, and please open the gate of Gray Family Fort. Liang Yijie responded loudly.

"It's dark now, and I can't see clearly. The rule of our Grey Fort is that outsiders are not allowed to enter the ...... after dark."

"Where is your Lizheng in the Gray Family Fort?" Liang Yijie's voice suddenly became louder, and he looked a little angry, "Let you Lizheng come out and speak......"

"Even if Li Zheng comes, it's useless, there have been many bandits and robbers who used this trick at night to want to sneak into our Gray Family Fort, so we all learned to be obedient, and saw that there were no human heads hanging on the door of our here, these are all those blind thieves, who dared to go to our Gray Family Fort to spread wild, and in the end they could only leave their own heads, you will come again tomorrow, don't say that you are official now, even if the emperor Lao Tzu comes, it is useless......" The man standing behind the earthen wall said angrily.

"Liqiang......" Sun Bingchen suddenly turned his head and called Yan Liqiang.

Yan Liqiang immediately understood what Sun Bingchen meant, he took out the horned python bow, put on an arrow, and with a bang, an arrow was shot, and the hat on the head of the man who was talking to Liang Yijie was shot away by Yan Liqiang......

"Ah, I want to be rude, when the men in our gray family are easy to bully......" Someone on the earthen wall shouted, looking very angry, a person showed half of his body, took out a bow, and wanted to shoot at Yan Liqiang's side, but Yan Liqiang's second arrow came in the blink of an eye, and the sharp arrow broke the person's bowstring and bow handle, and as soon as the person pulled the bow, the whole bow snapped and broke in two, and the person who opened the bow screamed......

At this moment, the earthen wall was instantly silent, there was no longer any sound, and no one dared to show their heads again, and the second arrow that Yan Liqiang shot completely suppressed everyone on the earthen wall.

You know, at this time, it's night, and the distance between the two sides is not close, what kind of accuracy and strength do you need to be two hundred meters away, and in the blink of an eye, an arrow breaks the bowstring and bow handle here, but it doesn't hurt anyone.

After half a minute, there was finally another slightly hoarse voice behind the earthen wall, "The people outside are all officials, not bandits and robbers, everyone open the gate......

With this voice, the closed wooden door was slowly opened......
