After the thunderstorm, the air on the banks of the Mudu River was exceptionally fresh, and a starling looked vigilantly at the two humans in the dead grass on the bank, and jumped again to find the remaining grass seeds. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lying on her back on the soft earth, Mira felt as if her bones were about to break, and he looked at the flock of geese flying in the sky and muttered, "Why do I always have tears in my eyes? ”

Night Feather had already struggled to sit up, patted Mira and said, "If you don't get hurt, hurry up, we still have to hurry." ”

Mira's poetry was mercilessly interrupted, as if a painter had been forced to put down his brush, and said with an unhappy face: "I'm in a hurry, I'm a wounded, my soul is still aching, or you can carry me." ”

When they first met, Ye Yu was still very in awe of Mira, but after such a long period of contact, especially after the experience in the belly of the fish, he already had a sufficient understanding of what kind of virtue this regiment leader was, and scolded unceremoniously: "Hurry up, don't be slow, if you don't catch up, they will go away with one eye." ”

The two had not been walking long with each other, when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and after a while they saw a small group of light horses galloping through the meadow not far away, and the armor and banners were none other than the Imperial army. Mira hurriedly waved and shouted, and finally succeeded in attracting the attention of the cavalry.

The cavalry captain was a young man with a mustache, the edge of his beard was slightly upturned into a flower, which could be seen to have been carefully trimmed, and he looked at the tattered young man in front of him suspiciously: "Who are you?"

No matter what Mira explained, the cavalrymen did not believe their identity, and one of the cavalrymen drew his saber and said, "Captain, these two guys are sneaky, most of them are enemy spies. The task is important, so I think these two people will be dealt with directly. ”

Mira was startled and shouted, "Can't handle it, can't handle it, we're not processed products, by the way, I have proof." He searched and searched for it, and finally found the waist plate given to them by the cavalry escorting the hearse: "You see, this is the token they gave me when I rescued the soldiers of the 21st Infantry Squadron." ”

After confirming the authenticity of the waist card, the cavalry was in trouble, and after they muttered together for a while, the cavalry captain frowned and said: "It stands to reason that we should send someone to take you back to the camp, but as you can see, we are carrying out a very important and secret mission, and we must not be separated." ”

Mira waved generously and said, "It's okay, you show us the direction, we can go back by ourselves." ”

"I'm afraid, I can't let you go back on your own, what if you are caught by the enemy and leak our whereabouts?"

Mira suddenly became vigilant: "Then what do you want?

The cavalry captain laughed, and his mustache turned upwards beautifully: "I am an imperial knight and a nobleman, and I will never raise a butcher's knife against the subjects of the empire for no reason." But now I can only grieve you, I still have a spare war horse here, please follow us and take you back to the camp after the task is completed. ”

Night Feather is a hunter, and although he has not learned to ride specifically, he can also think of ways to regulate war horses, but Mira is not even very skilled at getting on a horse except for being a vassal in the academy and riding a few laps on a horse. The war horse that was given to him by Bisheng was so cunning, and seeing that Mira looked clumsy and looked like a raw hand, he suddenly jumped and jumped so that Mira could not sit still.

Mira went through this battle, he felt that his bones were about to fall apart, and the cavalry around him all looked at him with a mocking face, as for Ye Yu, it would be good if he could take care of himself, how could he have the energy to help him. Mira thought maliciously that it could be the inferior horse that these Qiu Ba deliberately chose to make herself look like a big man.

After waiting for a long time, Mira still couldn't get his mount, and the mustachioed cavalry captain finally got impatient, and whipped a whip on Mira's horse's buttocks, and the horse rose to his feet with a long neigh, and rushed forward with Mira like an arrow.

The cold wind blew on his face like a steel knife to cut meat, but Mira could no longer feel the pain, his hands tightly clasped the horse's head, and his legs were tightly clamped between the horse's belly, as if this was the only way to keep himself from falling off the horse. He felt like he was back in the steppes west of Minsk, riding the flaming lion king towards the cliff in the distance.

Since he took the lead, the others beat the horses like flying, and followed closely behind Mira's horse, Ye Yu secretly asked a cavalryman behind him: "Our regiment commander doesn't seem to have ridden a horse, doesn't it matter if he runs so fast? Do you want to stop him?" The cavalryman grinned and said: "Who told him to clamp the horse's belly so tightly, it's strange that the horse doesn't run away, don't be afraid, there are so many of us around, nothing will happen." ”

It wasn't until the red sun was setting that the cavalry slowly gathered their mounts, and Night Feather hurriedly helped Mira off her horse and asked worriedly, "Commander, are you okay?" ”

Mira's face turned pale, her whole body was shaking, and it took a long time for her to regain a little blood. He looked at Nightfeather and didn't speak, leading his mount into the nearby woods. The cavalrymen who were camping laughed when they saw his embarrassed appearance, and Night Feather hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

Mira tied the reins to a large tree and turned her head to glare at the horse viciously, and the horse glared back at him unconcernedly, in a posture that if you come over and I'll kick you. Mira was even more angry, pointed at it and scolded: "For a period of time, I have not done anything well, no one looks down on me, and now even you beast dares to bully me, if I don't teach you a lesson today, you don't know why the flowers are so red." ”

Night Feather hurriedly stopped Mira: "Why are you angry with a horse? If you are kicked by it, it will be enough for you, and besides, it will not understand if you scold it." ”

Mira rolled up her sleeves, "This thing is a thing, it must know what we're talking about." He walked up to the warhorse: "Hey, what about you, do you know that your behavior today seriously offended my dignity, and now Mira is very angry, and the consequences are serious." ”

The war horse glanced at him, ignored him, and simply turned his head away.

Mira raised her whip high, and finally put it down, but took the harmonica out again, and in a few moments, five skeletons with bone knives were surrounded by the horses. The horse, which had never seen anything so strange, neighed in astonishment, and tore the tree to which the reins were bound to the dust. After struggling for a while, seeing that he couldn't escape, the war horse looked at Mira and showed a begging look.

Mirayan whipped and said: "Eat soft and hard things, don't give you some color and don't know how good I am, will you dare to bully me in the future?" The war horse grinned and made a smiling expression, rubbing a huge horse's head on Mira's body, like a child who had done something wrong.

The cavalrymen, puzzled and admired that Mira had surrendered a fiery horse so quickly, offered to share with the two of them the dry rations they had brought with them, and when the blazing bonfire was lit, Mira was already talking and laughing with them. The cavalry squad leader, Conzes, also completely let down his guard against Mira at this time, and began to explain his mission to him.

According to the Treaty of Kassel, the territory of the Holy Bein Empire must remain west of the Mdu River, so the vast desert between the Mdu River and the Gunya Desert became a terra nullius, and both the fugitive serfs and criminals and the wandering and ruined nobles regarded it as a paradise and thrived here. Out of their hostility to the Empire, they naturally showed kindness to the desert sand pirates, who were willing to provide them with protection and convenience in exchange for some food and household items.

Kang Zes said angrily: "Under the Putian, it is not the king's land, and on the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister, although due to the interference of other countries, we cannot make territorial claims to the Gipps desert, but these people themselves or their ancestors were once part of the empire, and they should have more reverence for His Majesty the Emperor." But what did they do? Instead of acknowledging that they were subjects of the Bein Empire, they declared themselves to be Gipps, killed or drove away the officials sent by the Empire to collect taxes, and even burned the portrait of His Majesty the Emperor in public. ”

Originally, the attitude of the imperial high-level towards these Gipps was to be resigned, but this time Lord Kempinski led a large army to go on the expedition, not only did they not wait for the wind to come, but they pushed everywhere, destroyed the roads, and even provided food and news for the sand thieves. He lowered his voice: "The soldier of the 21st Infantry Squadron that you rescued has regained a little consciousness, and he said it himself, it was a child of the Gipps who led their entire squadron into the ambush circle of the sand pirates, if he was not lucky enough to die, I am afraid that more troops would die for no reason." ”

Conzes raised his head, his face full of hideousness: "When Lord Kempinski received the magic letter, he was furious and ordered all the hussars to set out to collect food from the Gipples, destroy the Gipples' settlements, and kill them if they resisted. Our team was assigned to the farthest village, which was a long way away and dangerous. Therefore, you must do what I command, or we will not be able to save your lives. ”
