The sun in the sky lazily exposed its round body and scattered the light to the world, but it could not pass through the morning mist between the mountains and forests, but only covered the mountains and forests shrouded in darkness with a layer of tillage that looked like a dream, and the towering Sword Pavilion in the distance stood alone in the morning light, proudly showing the world its body that had not fallen for thousands of years.

At this time, in the mountains and forests a few miles away from Jianmen, an elk leaned its head and sniffed around, looking for tender grass branches and leaves that could satisfy its stomach, suddenly, it raised its head vigilantly, and stood there motionless, its ears fluttered, but then it heard a faint sound not far away, and then, it turned its head and disappeared into the darkness covered by the trees.
Half an hour passed, the sound became louder and louder, and suddenly, a heavy machete split the lush bushes blocking the front, and then a strong figure appeared, first wiped a handful of sweat on his head that was almost frozen into frost, glanced around a few times at will, waved his arm, and in a moment, the figure behind came out.
"Let's rest here first." The short, emaciated fox first gestured to stop the group, and his alert gaze swept around the small clearing, and then ordered.
Found an old tree that looked the thickest, the fox climbed up with both hands and feet, like a nimble ape, and reached the top in a short time, the early morning sun fell on his body through the mist, the fox couldn't help but smile bitterly, he had been taking these people into the river for nearly two months.
Wang Lan and the Red Devil led a team to stay in Lizhou Mansion, according to the previous calculation, pretending to be a horse merchant, while he and the wolf took the rest of the people and walked the mountain path to the south of Sichuan.
He didn't know what happened to the people led by Wang Lan and the Red Devil, anyway, along the way, their team had suffered a lot, it was already a cold winter season, even if the grass and trees were still flourishing here, and there were a lot of wild things, not like Daqin, everything withered, and the ice and snow were cold, but they who were born in the north suffered a lot.
No matter how strong the body is, no matter how thick you wear, you will be shivering from freezing when you get here, the mountains in Shu block the whistling north wind, but you can't stop the ubiquitous cold breath, the moisture slowly drills into your bones with the cold, everyone is cold hands and feet, and you can't hold it at all, especially at night, if you stay in one place for too long, you can immediately put a layer of ice flowers on your body, and make people half dead.
So he and the wolf two pondered, simply walk at night, and rest when it is warmer during the day, so that it is much more comfortable, but the itinerary is dragged slowly, fortunately, thanks to the hard training in Beijing, the big guys are still strong, no one fell on the road, otherwise with a burden, I am afraid that the walk will be slower.
At this time, he also had no intention of watching the misty mountain wonders, he saw a lot along the way, and it was worth making a fuss, especially this layer of mist blocking the sun, always making the early morning in the mountains a few hours more than the evening outside, which is also a disgusting place.
Looking at the sword pavilion that reflected the golden light in the morning light in the distance, he spat fiercely, it was really his mother's Wangshan running dead horse, how many days have passed, how can he still pay his grandmother can not be seen and touched?
Watching the fox slide neatly down the tree, the wolf who had been waiting under the tree showed his characteristic innocent smile, "How is it?" It's almost the end, right? ”
The fox glared at him fiercely, "To his mother's head, it's early." ”
"It's still early." The wolf muttered, and his signature honest smile was also a little bitter, "The brothers can't hold it anymore, and it can't go on like this." ”
The fox snorted slightly, "As a soldier, there is food and drink, what can't hold on?" Don't bewitch Lao Tzu here, otherwise when Lao Tzu sees an adult, he will have to sue you kid. ”
"Hehe, we've been with adults for a few years, and there aren't many cronies around adults, even if we make some small mistakes, adults can still cut off our heads?"
The fox pursed his lips, and the wolf looked honest, but in fact he was the most clever among them, which sounded a little pampered and coquettish, but most of them thought so in their hearts, and no one was exempt from vulgarity.
Then I heard the wolf mutter, "I don't know what happened to the adults?" If the adults can lead the army to fight, our trip will not be in vain. ”
The fox gave him a blank look, "What are you nagging about?" Adults still need you to worry about it? Go, tell everyone, stay up for another three or four days, and you will be able to pass the Sword Gate, and it will be a great achievement at that time, don't let Wang Lan Red Demon and the two of them watch us lively. ”
The weeds and branches in the open space were quickly cleared, and a few fires were set up soon, but because the branches and leaves were damp, several thick smoke rushed straight to the sky, like the wolf smoke of the early warning, no one cared about this, when they first entered the Sichuan, everyone still had some scruples about revealing the line of hiding, only gnawing dry food and drinking cold water when resting, but the chaos in the river was obviously much bigger than expected, and there were more and more displaced people and mountain bandits, and the crowd hiding in the mountains and forests did not know how much? Who cares about them? In addition, the weather is very different from the north, and they can't make a fire to keep warm, and they can do it in a day or two, and after a long time, even the strongest of them can't stand such a toss, and later, where can they take care of so much, it's true to take care of themselves first.
Dozens of people sat or lay around the fire, tiredly tidying up their bags and preparing to camp, some simply closed their eyes, and after a while there was a sound of snoring, but when the smell of food reached the end of the nose, even those who fell asleep straightened their necks violently, and the fire was immediately surrounded by people.
Liu Chang chewed the dry and hard cakes, and drank a few mouthfuls of hot soup with a snort, feeling that the frozen body was finally a little hot, but this did not make him feel much more comfortable, and the Qin people around him who were usually feared seemed to have become insignificant, and all he had in his mind was the red fire of Xixian, and the burning corpse that could not be distinguished.
The fire not only burned this thousand-year-old county into a white ground, but also burned down their homes, burned the destination in his heart and the last bit of hope, the bandits, he viciously tore off a piece of jerky, as if he was tearing the flesh of those thieves who killed people and set fires, and the long-eyed God poured a mouthful of hot soup, but it seemed to be drinking the blood of the enemy.
There was a suppressed choking sound around him, Liu Chang turned his head to look at the tear-stained young face, his eyes were also red, and his heart hurt even more, these children of Xixian County were full of enthusiasm and followed him to protect their homeland, but now...... The home is gone, the fields are deserted, and the parents and brothers are gone, although several people have the hope in case that their relatives can escape the catastrophe, but ......
Turtle son, Liu Chang cursed in his heart again, the Qin people are here, what are the people picking up knives and guns for? Although the mantis arm blocked the car, it was good that the family was safe, even if they died, everyone was at ease, but they didn't want to wait for the Qin people to kill, but it was the Shu people themselves who began to burn and loot, cutting off everyone's back road, and the situation for more than a year was really like a dream.
The Qin people came to fight for a year, and there were a lot of deaths, but he was with the army for more than half a year, but he also knew that the Qin people did not kill indiscriminately, let alone burn villages and towns, and rape and plunder, and now it seems that someone wants to drive the Qin people away, after all, he is a Shu person, and he has no good impression of these Qin people who bully the door for no reason.
But now, it's better for the Qin people to sit in the rivers and mountains of Shu, and they are always much better than those thieves who kill people and set fires......
"Liu Tou, let's ...... Shall we ...... You always say that life will be better after the battle, but ...... When will this battle be fought? When will it be finished? ”
Liu Tou ...... You say our parents are okay? When the Qin people came, they all hid in the mountains for a while...... Did you say that they all hid in the mountains this time? Or...... If you let me go back and look for it, maybe ......"
Liu Chang had already listened to these words all the way, and he didn't want to think about it, he waved his hand and gave the two young people a slap, the voice echoed in the silent forest, it seemed extraordinarily crisp, the surrounding men glanced at this side a few times, and they all turned their eyes away, even if the identity is very different, and there is a difference between the enemy and me, they are also used to seeing the tragedy of killing, but these Qinchuan men still show some pity in their eyes, the old country is no more, the homeland is broken, life and death are parted, and the misery of life is nothing more than this, looking at Liu Chang and a few people all the way over like walking corpses, Who doesn't have a little emotion in their hearts?
"What are the plans for the brothers in the future?"
Quietly, there was already a person sitting next to Liu Chang, his face was dark and thin, but his eyes were shining, Liu Chang turned his head in shock, and it was Captain Hu who led people out this time who was sitting next to him, although now he was uncomfortable and wanted to wipe his neck, and he was all over it, but under the gaze of the other party's "fierce light" pair of eyes, he still forced out an ugly smile.
"It turned out to be Hu ...... Boss, you're ......."
The fox smiled, for the other party's panic is useless, not disgusted, speaking of which, on the way into Sichuan, it is really thanks to these Sichuan guides, plus he has already inquired clearly, the Sichuan man in front of him who has fought more than one round than himself is not as cowardly and humble as he now appears, this person has also raised troops in Xixian County, and was captured after the battle, and then followed the Shu Qin army all the way south, I heard that he also made some military achievements, so he got out of the cage and was left in Jianmen as a cell leader, Jianmen City was broken, and he led people to escape from Jianmen Pass overnight and wanted to return to Xixian, but unfortunately he ran into the Qincha team on the way, and then he became a prisoner again.
Such a person, in the eyes of the fox, although he is a Sichuan man, and has always been submissive, but he is also a man, especially now deep in Shu, everywhere enemy traces, although he has a mountain and river atlas in his arms, but he still can't leave a few guides, otherwise in the reckless mountains of Sichuan, how long will it take to find the path?
Since the fire in Xixian County, the fox feels that it is time to make some promises to a few people, people, hard work, things are busy, and in the end there must be a rush, otherwise what kind of work, what is busy?
"Brother doesn't need to be so polite, I watched my brother go over the mountains and mountains along the way, but he is more durable than those of us who are soldiers and eat food, it's really admirable, I don't know how expensive my brother is this year?"
Liu Chang was stunned here, and then waved his hand again and again, his face seemed to be smiling and crying, but these two old brothers were screaming, he was frightened, and he didn't dare to do it, and his body became half squatting and half sitting, "Big ...... People are tormented by the little old man, don't work to ask, the little old man has lived for forty-one years, people have no ability, when they were young, they liked to go into the mountains to fish and hunt, but now, there is still a little bit of strength left, not a praise, not a praise. ”
"Look at you, there is only Hu Li who sells smuggled salt here, there are no adults, if you leak your mouth at a critical moment, we will all lose our heads, brother, remember, remember."
"Yes, yes, yes, Hu Da is in charge."
"Haha, that's right, brother, let's ask here, you are a native of Sichuan, do you think it's better for me Daqin and Shuzhong Meng's family to sit in this Shuzhong country?"
Liu Chang laughed awkwardly at this time, and he didn't know what the Qin military captain in front of him wanted to say to him, so he could only smile bitterly: "Where can our people manage this?" As long as...... As long as there is a bowl of Ansheng rice to eat, it is stronger than anything else. ”
Hu Li smiled and nodded, "What the old brother said is the truth, but in this damn world, it is really not easy to eat Ansheng rice, and the old brother himself is probably deeply touched, right?" ”
Liu Chang lowered his head, Hu Li's words touched his sore spot, the clay figure still has three points of earthiness, Liu Chang's fists were already clenched white on his side, he really wanted to swing it over with a punch and beat the Qin man in front of him with a full face, but he was no longer young, as long as he thought of himself and the few Xixian children left behind, once he fell out, wouldn't they all have to become ghosts under the knife? His anger immediately disappeared by three points.
But the tone of his voice gradually hardened, "Hu Tou is right, there is a fire in Xixian, and I don't know if it is...... Which one has a turtle son who is not raised by a mother...... The days of Ansheng were all over, and now they are all over...... To say...... To say...... In this, I'm afraid there is still a lot of credit for your Qin people, right? Speaking of this, Liu Chang's tears couldn't be stopped anymore, they were crackling down, people in their forties, once they cried, they looked miserable, but they still muttered in their mouths.
"Originally, we had a good life, you see, since you Qin people came, how many people have died in this year? If the people are gone, even if this place belongs to you, who will farm the land? Who will feed and clothe you? ”
Hu Li listened to his nagging, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances he had been suffering for more than a year, but he laughed, and reached out and patted the other party's shoulder, "What my brother said is not right, we are just a soldier, I don't know a few big characters, but I still know a few points, in the final analysis, you Shu people are too weak, so we came to fight you, how can there be immortals in war?" How many have died? Our army entered Shu, the Shu army was about to collapse, and I didn't hear that the general slaughtered villages and towns, it is estimated that after last year's battle, your Shu casualties of 18,000 people will come to an end, and it is not as good as the number of people who die every year in our border towns of Yanzhou. ”
"We're also surprised, if you want to say that the population of Shu must add up to more than one million, right? Why is it that even the emperor was caught by us in a daze? Let's talk to the Western Thief, the Golden Dog has seen the battle for so many years, and the dead people will soon fill Chang'an City, but they still have no way, brother, tell us, is this your Shu people too weak, or are they too strong? ”
Liu Chang bit it, wiped the tears on his face, and wanted to argue again, but when the words came to his mouth, he choked again, and finally muttered, "It's all the officials who don't fight, otherwise they ......."
Hu Li shook his head and smiled, the topic seemed to be getting farther and farther away, it seems that his eloquence is really not successful, I think it is used to talking with a knife in the past, but his mouth is getting more and more stupid, and it can only be regarded as small talk.
"Brother, don't be unconvinced, our Qin army is the master of a hundred battles, you ask these brothers who came with us, which one has not fought with the Western Thief or the Golden Dog? We have seen more dead people than you have seen living people, and you Sichuan people can't make it, besides, you can ask us people again, which ancestor has never been a soldier and eaten food? Over the years, we have fought with the Xixia thieves in the west, and the golden dogs in the east, almost every household has died in the battle array, you Sichuan people have lived so comfortably, without our Qin people, you Sichuan people can live in peace for so many years?
So, let's take Shuzhong, that's a peace of mind, wait for these dog* bandits, let's go to the Central Plains again, and destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty of the Later Zhou, I guess that by that time, how can we have to be a general, right? Then lead the troops to get rid of the Xixia Golden Dog, and avenge those comrades who died in battle, hey, when that time comes, we will be seventy or eighty, and we will not be able to hold swords and guns, and it is not too late to go home for a peaceful birthday. ”
"Brother, don't stare at me, see that your family is gone, and your relatives are estimated to have suffered, we are a rough person, we won't say some crooked soft words, and I see that my brother is also a responsible man, let's show you the way here, this is the military affairs sent down by our adults, as long as we can find out the situation in southern Sichuan, even if it is a great achievement, as long as the old brother can try his best to help us once, don't talk about bullshit such as the righteousness of the family and the country, when the time comes, we will definitely give you a few people to ask for credit from the adults, rest assured, at least one brigade commander will not be able to escape, It's easy to marry a mother-in-law with a bounty, according to the old brother's body and bones, wouldn't it be a family again to give birth to seven or eight babies? ”
