Chapter 166: A Night March
Before dawn, a scout who set out from Huhou City ran all the way with a pair of straw sandals. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Judging from the lord of the Red City who rushed to Huhou City last night, most of the Red City has been invaded by the Lap Kingdom, and at this time, this scout just obeyed the order to observe the movements of the enemy troops in the Red City, so as to determine where the enemy troops of the Lap Kingdom who raided the territory of the Sang Kingdom will go next.
Relying on a smooth and practical body technique, the scout only drank a few sips of spicy wine all the way, and when he sprinted with all his strength, his speed was even higher than that of an ordinary horse, not to mention that he was extremely cautious when he walked the rugged mountain road.
Seeing the Red City looming not far away, the scout cautiously slowed down, found a tall tree, and followed its trunk to try to look into the distance.
But who would have thought, but at this moment, an ugly voice with a blunt knife grinding stone came coldly from under the tree, only to hear this voice say leisurely: "Don't look at it, everyone is gone." ”
The scout slipped his hands and feet in fright, and almost fell off the tree several feet high!
With his own good skills, he clings to the rough trunk like a gecko, so as not to fall into the flesh and vegetables.
Cold sweat broke out on the scout's forehead, and his eyes were sharp and he searched under the tree for a long time, only to find that an old man actually took a bench and sat under the bush tree, playing with a delicate teacup in his hand, while crossing Erlang's legs.
The scout was extremely vigilant, and quietly pulled out a miniature black blade only an inch long from his waist, and he asked with extreme caution, "Who are you?"
"Put away the black tooth blade in your hand, this thing is still customized by the old man, do you want to hang yourself with this thing today, or kill the enemy?"
The scout who pulled out the small dagger thought that his movements were extremely hidden, and he didn't expect to be broken by the other party, but he savored the words, and stared at the exquisite teacup in the old man's hand for a while, and immediately felt shocked in his heart, and quickly jumped down from the trunk, and asked cautiously: "Elder Hong?"
"It's someone Hong. ”
"The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I ask Hong Lao to forgive me, this time I came to this red city to find out the enemy's situation, but how can Hong Lao be ......" said, the scout showed a strange expression, looked at a small wooden bench sitting under Hong Lao's buttocks, and his doubts deepened.
"Don't look at it, it's you who is waiting. ”
"Huh?" the scout looked confused, scratched the back of his head a little stupidly, and asked puzzledly: "Elder Hong, you have obviously been waiting here for a long time, how do you know that I will stop here and watch from this tree?"
"Hmph. Hong Lao snorted angrily: "You juniors, just do things in strict accordance with what your predecessors taught you to draw a scoop, old man, if I want to calculate your line and thoughts, it's easy." ”
The scout soldier smiled, then clenched his fists and asked respectfully, "Elder Hong, what is the send?"
Who would have expected that in the face of such a polite back, Hong Cibei's gloomy eyes narrowed into a slit, and he gently tapped the junior's right toe with his wrinkled right hand, and he said unhappily: "The toes are pierced into the dirt, this is the prelude to wanting to splash the soil and escape, stinky boy, old man, if I want to chase you, can you run away?"
The scout's face was stunned, then he sighed softly, and put away his respectful politeness, and asked coldly with his hands on his hips: "Old Hong, if you have something to say." ”
"First of all, I have not committed treason to the enemy, old man, and this red city is still the red city of Mulberry country. ”
"I don't believe it. ”
"Believe it or not, I just have to bring the words. Listen well, go back and make it clear to the city lord of the Huhou City, and say, 'One arrow pierces the clouds, two arrows pierce the southern sky, and the arrow has been disconnected and it is difficult to turn back'. ”
The scout's face was full of confusion, but he knew that this enigmatic phrase was disguised information, and that it would be difficult for him to understand the secret after it had been delivered to its destination.
With a puzzled face, he glanced at Hong Lao, the scout still did not give up, and climbed up the tree trunk in front of Hong Lao, and then looked at the Red City in the distance.
After a long time, he muttered a few words with a puzzled face, and after a while, he fell again, gently waved at Hong Lao, did not speak, turned his head and swept into the bushes and disappeared.
Leaving Hong Lao alone, he gently kneaded the delicate teacup in his hand, and he gently muttered a sentence in his mouth: "Through the clouds and through the clouds, the south of the sky, the south of the sky, it is difficult to turn back......"
At this time, in the Red City, five hundred recruits of the Cloud Piercing Army all went out of the city, escorting twelve carriages pulling goods for a long time on the road.
In the team, directly in front of the team was led by Ren Tubei with a team of 100 people, lined up, like a long dragon, facing south.
On both sides of the team, there are hundreds of people in each team echoing each other, surrounding the twelve carriages and goods, it is already extremely cautious, the two teams on the left and right of the carriage, each with a small capital to lead the troops, on the left side of the team, there is a beast bone white fan Lin Heng as the leader, and on the right side of the team, there is a gloomy Qingyan girl sitting in charge.
It's just that at the end of the line, there are also a hundred soldiers at the end, but there is one less leader, which is particularly awkward.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the twelve carriages escorting goods, there is also a special carriage in the team, which is driven by Ren Shanhe himself as a coachman, which shows its uniqueness.
The procession had been walking for a long time since the sun was three poles up, and the atmosphere in the procession was always oppressive, except for the sound of the wheels of the carriage and rolling on the ground, only the sound of horses' hooves trampling.
Qingyan, who walked on the right side of the team all the way, would turn his head from time to time to glance at the special carriage driven by Ren Shanhe himself, and he didn't know how many times he turned back along the way, but this time he finally couldn't help it, and gently rode the horse closer, and asked at the same time as he walked side by side with the carriage: "Miss Ren, the boat is tired, although these recruits dare not say much, but they will inevitably complain in their hearts, it is better to stop and rest for a while." ”
Ren Shanhe's driving posture was very domineering, one right leg stepped on the wooden board where he was sitting, and the right hand holding the long whip was placed on the knee of the right leg so lightly, she smiled lightly and said: "He's fine, and the recovery of the injury is much faster than I imagined, there must be an adventure, there will be no danger to life." ”
When Qing Yan heard this, he was just inexplicably silent, and then he seemed to notice that something was wrong, and immediately pretended to be unhappy and said: "Miss Ren, I'm talking about stopping and resting, not asking about your kid's injury, his life or death has nothing to do with me." ”
"Oh?" Ren Shanhe smiled playfully and shook his head slightly, but said: "All the way forward, whether it is the driving route or the resting place, I have already made up my mind that stopping at this time is just a mistake beyond the plan, which is not appropriate." ”
"In this way, then follow Miss Ren's deployment and come step by step. As she spoke, she turned around and prepared to return to the queue.
Unexpectedly, this Ren Shanhe said coldly at this time: "Actually, his injuries are ......"
"What?" Qingyan sat down and the horse was stunned by the reins, snorted a few times, and shook his head a little dissatisfied.
"Giggle...... Ren Shanhe rarely laughed, and scolded Qingyan with a smile: "It's not that you don't care about this person's life and death, why are you so nervous about his injuries all of a sudden?"
"You ......" Qingyan blushed when she was said, she immediately restrained her helplessness, shook her head lightly and sighed: "Miss Ren don't misunderstand, she cares about this person's injury, just out of curiosity about how he can fight against twenty elite soldiers of the Lap Kingdom with his own strength, and has no other intentions, just begging him to tell me the truth after he wakes up." Was there really twenty people in the forest last night, or was he just exaggerating?"
Ren Shanhe said one more sentence without heart or lungs: "Are you sure you don't want to marry him?"
"Miss Renren!" Qingyan's face was straight, as if she was very concerned about this statement, her voice was a few cold, and she said softly: "The future head of the Qing family, how can you marry such a grass people? Even if I agree, the Qing family will not agree, can it be that the Ren family never pays attention to whether the family is right or not? This kind of joke, don't mention it again." ”
Seeing Qingyan go away, Ren Shanhe thought thoughtfully, and suddenly flicked the long whip in his hand, striking an elegant whip flower in the air.
