Chapter 132: Crossing the River

(The previous chapter was more than 5,000 words, so this one is a little late.) )

A man and a woman are generally safe and sound, through Dongfeng County, close to Zhegui County, Xu Fengnian and Pei Nanwei two horses in parallel in a deep plank road, and then go east for a hundred miles, it is known as the natural danger of Tongmen Pass that is forbidden to the east and west, there is a Tongmen Pass to solidify the North Lianggu said, it is a well-deserved primary pass in Zhegui County, there are heavy guards, and the Tongmen captain Xin Yinma, who holds six thousand elite soldiers, is undoubtedly the confidant general of the King of Beiliang, this time Xu Fengnian mobilized soldiers and horses from all over Lingzhou to leave the station, and Tongmen Pass is not a soldier to move, which is enough to show the transcendent status of Tongmen Pass in Lingzhou。 Xu Fengnian did not let Huang Xiaokuai's six hundred horsemen follow, but first detoured to Tongmen Pass to rest, only with Pei Nanwei and Xu Yanbing galloped on this secret plank road that was only trampled by military horses。

Xu Fengnian didn't pull the reins with both hands, closed his eyes and concentrated, and let the war horse run forward, Pei Nanwei's equestrian skills were mediocre, but he was not afraid of falling off the horse and being injured, took off his hat, put on a sable fur, and rode a handsome black horse. When Pei Nanwei stopped his horse and looked up and saw the fuzzy stone carvings on the stone cliff, it seemed to be the same thing, some of them were boring to come and return with a bad mood, especially when Xu Fengnian mentioned this plank road to her, just in the more than 200 years of the previous dynasty, more than 20,000 corpses were confessed near here, which made Pei Nanwei creepy, and there was no leisure and elegance.

The sky was nearly dusk, and the goose feathers and snow above her head were unwilling to stop, and the plank road was dead and dark, she was obviously a little afraid, so she had nothing to say, slowed down her horse, and asked the man next to her about the Beiliang spy's hands and eyes were all over the sky, but why she couldn't find out the details of the pair of masters and servants. Xu Fengnian stretched out his hand, accumulated a full palm of snowflakes, held out a small round snowball, and said casually: " Good spies are more rare and valuable than those brave and warlike captains, not only to ensure that they can survive the loneliness year after year, and bear the conspiracies and tricks again and again, the key is to always be loyal, but also to be able to take charge of themselves, screen out all kinds of news, and then take their lives to pass it back, so there is no five or six years to polish, and there is no qualified spy who can be appointed with confidence, some old spies, either disappear when they disappear, or directly betray the enemy camp, the difficulty of espionage is that it is not easy for spies to do things, but also to study a person's resilience, not everyone is willing to do this。 In the past, in the hands of Chu Lushan, the spies who died outside Beiliang were killed in more than 30 prefectures in Liyang, and for more than 20 years, only more than 400 people were cultivated, not to mention that half of them needed to put a long line to catch big fish, and they were distributed to more than 200 counties in more than 30 prefectures, and how many could there be in each county? Besides, our Bei Liang tried his best to eradicate the spies on both sides of Liyang and Beimang, Zhao Gou and the cobwebs did not rest for a day, the enemy and the enemy, many people die every year, and it is also thanks to Chu Lushan who is in charge of the espionage, and if it were any one person, Bei Liang would have become blind a long time ago. Just the 300,000 iron cavalry that said that it was very scary to say that it was very scary, could not win the big battle, the war of the Southern Dynasties, the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry advanced all the way, and a large part of the military exploits had to be recorded on the heads of the Northern Liang spies. The last time I went to Huangnan County, I only cared about killing people and venting my hatred, and slaughtered a few double-faced spies, and afterwards my sister scolded me for being a loser who didn't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and I was really not wronged. ”

Xu Fengnian gently threw the snowball into the distance and said softly: "This world is too big, and it is not easy to find a person." ”

Pei Nanwei glanced at him, and couldn't see the expression of His Royal Highness the Prince clearly, but felt a little unusually lonely.

The wind and snow are howling, there are still dozens of miles away from the Tongmen Pass, and the road is not long in normal times, the plank road is thick with snow, and the horse's hooves are deep, Pei Nanwei even if she is dressed in a warm mink fur, she also begins to feel that she is not lightly offended, and her equestrian skills are really lame in the eyes of experts, Xu Fengnian looked at the sky, there are signs of getting bigger and bigger, and the three riders are going against the wind, but Pei Nanwei insists on walking alone in the wind and snow, Xu Fengnian watched coldly, when her mount was cold and a horse's hooves slipped, her hands were cold and numb, and she was unable to hold the reins, so she fell on the plank road and rolled over, fortunately, the snow was soft, not to mention injury。 Xu Fengnian turned back from her horse, stretched out a hand, she was stiff, turned around after standing up, reached into the neckline of the mink fur, covered her hands with her body temperature, gritted her teeth and got on the horse, and continued to move forward. Xu Fengnian didn't bother to say sarcasm, rode his horse and accelerated forward, blocking the biting cold wind in front of her horse, and when they finally saw the towering wall and the flickering lights of Tongmen Pass, Pei Nanwei, who insisted on holding on to the end with a breath of resentment, finally fainted and fell off the horse, Xu Fengnian picked her up and rode into the city.

Tongmen Lieutenant Wei Caiqing personally led the way, and led His Royal Highness the Prince into the simple mansion without the slightest extravagance, when Pei Nanwei woke up with a headache, he found himself lying in a warm room like spring, except for the fur soaked in snow and water has been taken off, and her clothes are intact, like Princess Jing'an, who had beaten a turn in the ghost gate, only slightly rejuvenated, turned her head and saw a stove set up in the house, the man with his back to the bed was cooking wine, the aroma of wine was long, and the hungry Pei Nanwei raised his strength, put on a pair of new warm boots, sat beside him, and reached out to keep warm, Xu Fengnian stretched out his finger and pointed to the mahogany carved food box placed on the stool, signaled that she had enough food and clothing, but very kindly poured her a cup of piping hot mellow rice wine, Pei Nanwei opened the lid of the food box, and did not pay attention to any manners, buried himself in gobbling up, drank the glass of wine, and asked for two glasses, and soon there was a strong tiredness, maybe he was relieved, endured the fight with his eyelids, and did not go to bed. In fact, the two knew that they were making a bet, betting on who would be the first to disarm and surrender, and before that, that is, the well water did not interfere with the river water, and she didn't need to deliberately pose as a chaste martyr. Pei Nanwei propped up her eyelids and squinted at him, his face was brightened by the charcoal fire, he took off his coat, revealing the dark green soft armor that even a layman like Pei Nanwei could see as priceless, she bit her lip to sober herself up a little, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Why do you want to practice knives?"

Xu Fengnian lost his mind slightly, then shook his head, and said in a flat tone: "It's fun to tell you, saying that I once wanted to be a hero who pulled out a sword to help when the road was uneven, you definitely don't believe it." If it is to save my life, you have to say that I was born in happiness and did not know blessings, pretending to be free of illness and moaning. ”

Pei Nanwei poured himself a glass of wine, but instead of drinking it all as heroically as before, he put a warm wine glass on his cheek and said with a smile: "I believe in the former more than your original intention of practicing the knife." ”

She finally had the interest in chatting, but Xu Fengnian was depressed, and said indifferently: "You have to hurry tomorrow morning, you sleep yours." Rest assured, I'll be out when I've had enough. ”

Pei Nanwei frowned her good-looking brows, which was very natural and flattering, or went to the bed to lie down, pinched the corners of the quilt with both hands, didn't hear movement for a long time, turned sideways, and looked at the back in the room.

It wasn't long before he took the tongs and put some ash on the charcoal fire to make the charcoal burn more slowly, and then got up and left the house gently.

Xu Fengnian came to the head of the Tongmen Gate, Xu Yanbing and Wei Caiqing were standing in the distance, very interested not to disturb.

It snowed all night, and at dawn, the green hills were white.

A rider and a servant broke into Zhegui County all the way unimpeded, since they first entered the Beiliang border before, they shocked several teams of ant-like official soldiers and horses, and then they were like entering a no-man's land, the Hu Cong with the strength of the King Kong Realm couldn't help but ask: "Childe, is it possible that this Beiliang prince is so frightened that he hides?

The handsome boy who gently patted his palm with a folding fan admired the snow scenery along the road, and sneered: "Lezhang, Lezhang, you are really thinking about things with your ass, Han Mink Temple didn't kill you back then, did you have dirty hands?"

Sturdy Hu smiled in a low voice, not daring to fight back.

Brother Gongzi opened the peach blossom beauty folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince is not so timid as to avoid its edge, but this prince really doesn't take him seriously, or wants to understand the left-handed knife of the White Bear Yuan Zuozong, the world only knows that Lu Dao Yuan Baixiong is the first horse war in the world, but I don't know that Lu Dao He once learned knife skills with Gu Jiantang, and then changed his left hand to practice the knife, thinking about one day to ask our General Gu to return to the field." However, it is not easy for this son to see Yuan Baixiong, the commander of the cavalry, and it is not easy for those Beiliang iron cavalry in Lingzhou to be useless, so they still can't be underestimated, it depends on how big a welcome battle Xu Fengnian can make. Movement, if it is only a small fight of a few hundred horses, it is up to you to settle it, remember one thing, it doesn't hurt to break your arms and legs, and you will be spared from killing. ”

The Vajra Realm servant twisted his neck, creaked like a string of soybeans bursting, nodded and said with a sneer: "If His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is angry and takes three or four hundred horses to fool the son casually, no matter how thick the formation is, it will not be able to withstand my several back-and-forth killings." ”

Brother Gongzi did not "wear" a knife at his waist, but tied the famous knife with a long vermilion rope, and the other end of the rope was tied to his wrist, so he hung on the side of the horse's belly, shaking.

Lezhang glanced at the knife with some jealousy in his eyes.

This thing is the same weight as the world's first talisman sword Nanhua.

I don't know which predecessor took the name, and I don't care at all, but it's simply called "crossing the river".

Before Jiazi, several heavenly demons went to the demon platform to provoke the dragon and tiger mountain real person Qi Xuanjiao, but not only failed to divide the world equally, but were all slaughtered, Zhulu Mountain has been sluggish since then, the rivers are declining, twenty years ago, his music as a disciple of the Demon Sect outside the mountain, barely regarded as a first-rate master, especially after entering the realm of a product, a little fluttering, refused the invitation of the only remaining elderly prince of Zhulu Mountain, did not enter the mountain to seal the marquis, but with a group of subordinates without authorization, claiming to be the leader of the Demon Sect, set off a lot of bloody rain in the martial arts, and has not yet made contributions to dominate the rivers and lakes, was blocked by a big eunuch in a bright red python robe, this human cat came alone, except for him, everyone was skinned and cramped, if it wasn't for Han Mink Temple to leave him a life to explore the secret site of Zhulu Mountain, it would have been difficult to escape death, but after Zhulu Mountain, he did not want him to enter the mountain, the music has been like a mouse crossing the street these years, has been scared, for fear of being treated as a waste by a cat, until the news of the death of Han Diao Temple came to the capital last year, he cried with joy, and was thinking about whether to make a comeback from the rivers and lakes, and as a result, the young man in front of him who claimed to be from Zhulu Mountain could not recognize his father and mother, and even General Gu's Fang Cun Lei could be used, Some of the Wu family's sword mound and Dongyue sword pool, including many secret techniques, are endless, and his own few tricks to press the box, only once by the young man, can be taken away and turned into his own use, even if he is a master, how can he not be shocked?

The movement has to be convinced, there is really a martial arts genius in the world that is rare in a century. In the past, it was Wang Xianzhi and Li Chungang who were seniors in the rivers and lakes, and in the future, it would probably be the turn of this young master of the "crossing the river" knife.

The boy looked up and saw a peregrine falcon passing by, raised a charming smile, and said to himself, "It's a little slow." ”
