Chapter 318: General Xiao Zhou
I saw that everyone was there, and I hurried over to avoid everyone being in a hurry.
"Xiao Jian, I'm sorry, I pulled you into the water this time." I gave Xiao Jian a smile, but he didn't seem to mind too much about today's events.
"It doesn't matter, the city won't be peaceful anymore in the future, so it's better to come out and relax before the storm breaks out." Xiao Jian's words were light and light, but I could also hear that he had a deep meaning.
"Brother Guo, next week Qingkai, my brother specially sent me to assist you. I've got three hundred Black Wind cavalry ready, ready to go. ”
Isn't this young general the same one I saw in the barracks before? However, he actually said that Zhou Tong was his brother, but he had also taken immortal medicine.
"General Xiao Zhou, Zhou Tong is really your brother." This Zhou Qingkai smiled at me.
"This is natural, as if it were a fake brother. I know what you want to ask, I'm actually over 2,000 years old, and after my brother got the elixir of immortality, I also took some, otherwise I wouldn't have lived for so long. Let's talk about these words later, let's hurry up. Their village is far away, and we'd better feel the next town before it gets dark, or we'll have to live in the wilderness. ”
yes, I don't want to sleep in the wild anymore. Zhou Qingkai also prepared a sycophant for me, and the short old man was also ready to set off with us.
"I said, old man, how far is your village from here, and when can we get there?" The little old man turned to look at me.
"Little brother, I walked for three days to get here, but our horses are running fast now, and I think we can reach them in a day and a half. But we'd better hurry up and get a night's rest in the next town before it gets dark, or there will be a lot of beasts in the wild, and it's going to be hard to deal with. ”
He made a statement with General Xiao Zhou, which made me a little scared, so let's hurry up.
"Xiaoyu, don't be nervous, this is the first time you lead the team, don't let your uncle down." Xiao Jian is encouraging me, but then again, I usually rarely talk to Xiao Jian, and I really don't want to go to pull him into the water this time. But this time it is indeed as Xiao Jian said, my uncle actually let me lead the team by myself this time, how can I be competent, is my uncle brainbroken.
"Xiao Jian, I'm sorry, I'm involved in you." I could only smile at him embarrassedly.
"Your uncle actually does this for two purposes, first, I hope you can exercise some abilities. Second, I hope you will leave Qincheng for the time being. Qin Cheng's seemingly calm water surface is actually undercurrent, and your uncle just wants you to stay away from that place of right and wrong first. After all, if you don't have a short sword, you can't even protect yourself. ”
Xiao Jian seems to have seen through everything, which is really surprising. It turns out that Xiao Jian, this kid has such a bright mind, why haven't I noticed it, maybe it's because he has been leaning against the wall and not speaking.
"But thank you for coming with me on this trip." Once again, I would like to express my gratitude to Xiao Jian.
"Let's go, and if you can go back alive this time, thank me again."
What, is this trip so dangerous, I suddenly want to go back to my uncle. Xiao Jian must have discovered something, but when I asked him again, he stopped talking, just kept looking at the short old man.
The sky is gradually getting darker, we really have to find the town Zhou Qingkai said quickly, otherwise we will really have to sleep in the wild. But luckily, we dared to get to a small town before it got dark.
"General Xiao Zhou, is this the town you mentioned?"
General Xiao Zhou nodded, it seems that this is it. We started marching into the town with our army, but there was something wrong with the atmosphere, there didn't seem to be any people in the town.
"General Xiao Zhou, there are usually no people here, why are they so deserted."
"Maybe it's because of the war, let's go over and have a look."
As we entered the town, the people here did seem to be in a hurry, and some of the houses had already left before the doors were closed.
However, the scene inside the house was a little special, there was still half of the food in the house, and I touched the rice bowl, and it was still warm. What's the situation, the villagers should have hurried out when something happened, but what happened to the people in the village turned out to be so clean.
"Let's hurry up and search the neighborhood to see if we can find the villagers who haven't fled nearby." I told everyone to split up and search, but half an hour passed and we didn't find any clues.
"General Xiao Zhou, what do you think, I think there are some weirdness in this town, otherwise let's go camp outside." General Xiao Zhou nodded, and seemed to agree with my statement.
"No, it's completely dark now, and wild beasts are starting to roam outside, so it's dangerous to go out now, and it may delay our trip." We're going out, this old man doesn't agree, what does he mean?
"Sir, I think it's more dangerous in this town, so let's get out." I insist on leaving, can you still be here by yourself?
"Oh no, General, we have two horses attacked by wolves and wounded."
At this time, two soldiers came to report the situation, and they were really attacked by wolves.
"Look, I'll just say it's dangerous, but if you don't believe it, there's still the howling of wolves. If we go out now, we will inevitably continue to be attacked by wolves, so let's spend the night here first. "Sure enough, there was a wolf cry outside, and it came and went, there was no way, let's spend the night here first.
"Let's go into the house and clean up and see if there is any ambush, and be careful. Then divide the troops into three groups and take shifts to prevent wolves from sneaking up. By the way, let's cook first, everyone will be hungry after a day of walking. ”
I told everyone to go over and prepare, preferably to eat first, I was actually hungry for a long time. Xiao Jian insisted on the house just now, and went to sleep by himself.
"Xiao Jian, are you sleepy, you're about to start eating."
"From now on, take the time to eat and take advantage of all the time to rest. I'm afraid that something will happen soon, so be ready to fight at any time, I promise your uncle that he will bring you back completely. ”
What, it turns out that my uncle has long asked Xiao Jian to take care of me. It seems that my uncle has been thinking about me all the time, and I really can't live without him.
After we finished eating, we went to bed in batches. When we sleep, we don't dare to sleep with clothes, and we have to keep our weapons around us to prevent possible dangers when sleeping.
At ten o'clock in the morning, before it was fully light, the sentry of the guard outside suddenly called us all up.
"My lord, it's not good, we found that there are a lot of villagers walking to the back of the village, they are behaving strangely, my lord, hurry up and take a look."
If there is such a thing, I will immediately gather the team and go over to see the situation.
Sure enough, as the sentry had said, a large number of unclothed villagers were walking to the back of the village. Even though they were naked, I felt something strange about them.
