(Whose young man wants to go farther and farther away, and the young man who has not stopped his life has broken off the passing years; whose red face plucks the silk strings, and the moth eyebrows lightly converge on the sword of the world; whose family curses and grudges surrounds the clouds and smoke, and the north wind howls and the snow and smoke have been fantastical since ancient times.) (_) The way back, like a rainbow. Frowning, raising arrows - I don't see the flowers, only a farewell to the eternal year, try to ask, where is life not in the world? ）

Another night's dream is coming.

The convoy came to Seven Crystal City at dusk the next day, two hours faster than expected, but that's it, the situation in Seven Crystal City was much worse than Su Qin Qian and what they expected, which was a little disappointing, and it could even be said to be desperate - this trip carrying Su Qin, Qi Luoge and others out of the city was originally to transport silk to Guangqi City, but because they wanted to cover Qi Luoge and their departure from the city, the preparation time was a little hurried, so that the food and drinking water necessary for the convoy to travel far away were only prepared for three days.

The food and water in the three days did not include the food of Qi Luoge, Su Qin Gongsun Cuo Guluoshui and the five people of Muye, and there were only eleven carriages and twelve people on Jinxiu's side.

The convoy has been delayed for a day and a night on the way to Qijing City, and it will take at least two days and one night to think of Lingxiao City in the south of Qijing City, although Luoyi City and Gutian City are similar, but this also requires Su Qin to arrive under the condition of ensuring food and drink, after all, people's physical strength is limited, and it is okay to skip meals for a day, what about three days? Or a long journey, now that Qingyun City is broken, the people of the other four cities will move south, if they encounter wind and rain...... The consequences are unimaginable.

Halfway through, Qian Duoduo first thought of this problem, don't look at the Qinglou since childhood, but Qian Duoduo in addition to being sensitive to money, he is far more concerned about livelihood issues than interested in women, just like when he rests on the way, Gu Luoshui doesn't believe how many copper coins Qian Duoduo can take a look or weigh it to know the number, so he bet with Qian Duoduo and lost all the copper coins on his body, at first Muye didn't believe it, took a few pieces of broken silver, Qian Duoduo only glanced at how much silver he reported, so that Makino lost convincingly, for this reason, Gongsun Cuo also sighed on the side that everyone has their own ambitions and specializations！

At first, Qian Duoduo thought that even if the people in Qijing City moved south, it would take a while, and it would be good for him to follow the crowd, but now he looked at the mess in Qijing City, and he wanted to cry without tears.

One of the Seven Crystal Cities of Nuoda has become an empty city, even the chickens, ducks, dogs and sheep that can be seen in ordinary eyes cannot be seen, as if they have been invaded by the plague, and the silence is terrible.

It is only by a hundred secrets that the current embarrassing situation has been created.

stretched out his foot and kicked over a basket on the official road paved with bluestone, Qian Duoduo shouted a few times, but the birds did not startle a few.

"There was no food left, not even the wells were blocked with stones and earth. A splendid nursing home with a torch in his hand walked out of a private house, his hands were empty, and he looked at Qian Duoduo and said a little depressed.

"They've been gone for at least four days. Not far away, Su Qin pushed open the room, glanced at the wooden table in the hall and a spider that was building a web.

"How do you know?" Qi Luoge frowned and asked when he heard Su Qin say this, the battle in Qingyun City has just ended, and it has only been ten days since the siege of Mangguo, but the people of Qijing City left four days ago, if Qi Luoge is not mistaken, the last time the scout sent the battle report and passed the news back, was it three days ago, right?

"Childe knows when the beast has come and gone there just by looking at the feces of the beast, let alone the humans. Seeing that Qi Luoge was a little suspicious, Makino answered with a little pride on the side.

"It's not that mysterious. Su Qin glared at Mu Ye, then looked at Qi Luoge and smiled slightly, pointing to a bat corpse on the table, "I judged from the corpse of this bat." Speaking of this, Su Qin paused, took two steps forward, and looked at the room, "Although the owner of this room is not a powerful person, but judging from the furnishings in the house, at least it will not be too embarrassing to live, and spiders will not build webs where people grow and lead, you see that this spider web has obviously been webbed for a few days." Speaking of this, Su Qin bent down and pointed to some remaining insect corpses under the spider's web, "This is a cockroach, and it takes two days for a spider to eat it." ”

"And the bat carcass on it has been black and withered, if a beast like a wolf is killed, the internal organs will rot in two days, and the fur will begin to fall off in four days, and it will be unrecognizable in eight days, and the same is true of bats, even if it dies naturally, judging by its appearance, it has been dead for at least four days, so I say that they will be evacuated for four days, or more. ”

"But why didn't the scout say this when he reported back to Qingyun City?" Qi Luoge, who Su Qin said, didn't know how to refute it, but she still asked the doubts in her heart, and what came to mind after asking it, only to realize what an idiot this question was.

Qi Luoge never doubted the loyalty of the Qi family army to Qingyun City or the Qi family, but ......

"People change. Su Qin slapped the table and shook up some dust, "If you give me a mountain of gold, maybe I will also report some false news." ”

Qi Luoge was silent.

"These people are not in a hurry, probably because of their resentment towards Mangguo, since they have blocked all the wells when they leave, they will not leave any food, so they almost burned the houses, just now I went to the city lord's mansion to take a turn, there is water, but there is no food. Gongsun Cuo also walked into the house at this time, looked at Su Qin and the three of them spread their hands and said.

"The soldiers of Seven Crystal City are still in Qingyun City, and Meng Kuang will not cut off his back road, so I guess there will be food in the City Lord's Mansion, it's just ...... I don't think we'll be able to find it. Qi Luoge looked at Gongsun Cuo and sighed.

"Yes, if we put it underground and don't know the switch, do we still have to turn the ground upside down?" Su Qin also smiled bitterly, and several people fell silent.

"The water from the City Lord's Mansion has been brought back, and the food can't be found, Seven Crystal City is like this, and I guess the other three cities are estimated to be about the same, so it's a big trouble." Qian Duoduo had a torch in his hand, and there were a few beads of sweat on his fat face. "What now?"

"I'm afraid the Mangguo cavalry is about to set off, let's continue south, it's useless to stay here. Gongsun replied by mistake.

"That's all there is to it. Su Qin replied with a wry smile.

"Then I'll go and inform you that everyone is resting in the carriage tonight, and I'm afraid that the horse won't be able to bear it if it goes on like this. After speaking, Qian Duoduo shook his head as if walking outside the house.

"Shall we leave like this?" Watching Qian Duoduo leave, a sneer appeared on the corner of Qi Luoge's mouth.

"What do you want to do?" Looking at the sneer on the corner of Qi Luoge's mouth, Su Qin frowned, Qi Luoge won't mess around at this time, if everyone stays here, when the Mangguo cavalry arrives, maybe they will all die.

"Nothing. After Qi Luoge finished speaking, he then said in a very flat tone, "I'll go to burn the City Lord's Mansion, which of you will go with me?"

――――

――――

"If you eat this meal, you won't have to eat it tomorrow. Qian Duoduo handed the last piece of glutinous cake in his hand to Su Qin and said.

The situation in Lingxiao City is the same as that of Qijing City, more than a dozen people have been eating and drinking in the convoy these days, and the rations have gone from two meals a day out of Qijing City to one glutinous cake a day now, that's it, there is no extra food in the convoy, more than a dozen horses have lost weight in the past few days, and Qian Duoduo is distressed to see it, just now he discussed it with Qi Luoge, Su Qin and others, and let everyone rest for two hours temporarily.

"Take it, I'm not hungry. Su Qin looked at the glutinous cake in Qian Duoduo's hand and shook his head.

"Why, see that my weight is not light and pity me?" Qian Duoduo is very taboo about the word 'fat', so he uses not light instead, "Aside from the fact that you are the guests of the eldest lady, we are now grasshoppers tied to a rope, how do you say that word? ”

"It's not like your style. Su Qin saw that since Qian Duoduo said this, he was not hypocritical, so he took the glutinous cake and put it in his arms.

"Am I like a stingy person?" Qian Duoduo looked at Su Qin with wide eyes and raised his fist.

"Like!" Su Qin smiled when he saw Qian Duoduo's demonstration, and then replied with one word.

"You're ruthless. Qian Duoduo said and yawned, looked at a few people around a fire not far away, and then said to Su Qin, "You keep the meeting first, call me in two hours, walk out of this mountain, and then cross a river, it is Luoyi City." ”

Su Qin snorted and watched Qian Duoduo leave, leaning on the wooden box, and glancing at the night sky.

At this moment, the place where the convoy stopped was on a mountain road, I heard Qian Duoduo say that this mountain is called Stone Mountain, as the name suggests, the mountain is full of stones, there are not many trees, the mountain is less than a kilometer high, but the number on both sides of the pipeline is quite vigorous.

"Coo-quack......" A faint pheasant cry reached Su Qin's ears.

Su Qin thought it was a hallucination at first, but when he heard the cry again, he suddenly jumped out of the carriage.

The Split Sun Bow was held in his hand, and Su Qin glanced at Qi Luoge and the others who were resting next to the fire, bent their waists, and walked in the direction where the pheasant crow came from on the left side of the official road.

The cold wind blew on Su Qin's face, and Su Qin cautiously followed the direction of the pheasant's cry for about a hundred steps, and only then did he find the two pheasants that were running around foraging through the bright light of the moon in the semicircle of the night sky.

The corners of his mouth raised, Su Qin stopped, held the bow in his left hand, the bow was perpendicular to the ground, his body was half-squatting, and his right hand slowly pulled out two feather arrows from the quiver, and the arrows were holding his breath on the string.

When the wizard taught Su Qin to shoot arrows, he said that only when the human bow is one, can you feel whether the symmetry is equal before and after, and the arrows shot can be straight, fast, and ruthless.

Su Qin, who had shot the cheetah tiger and was able to 'Seven Stars Chain', was more than enough to deal with two pheasants, the tail of the arrow was buckled on the bowstring arrow buckle, and Su Qin's right index finger, middle finger and ring finger were tightly linked to the tail of the two feathered arrows.

Draw the bow, let go, the bowstring hums.

Looking at the pheasant that was shot by himself, Su Qin trotted forward and picked up the pheasant, and then went back to the way he came, seeing the firelight, when Su Qin was thinking about shouting Qian Duoduo to make a chicken or something, he saw someone surrounding Qi Luoge and others next to the firelight.

There were at least fifty or more people in this group, with long knives and spears in their hands, and a few people riding red horses, facing Qi Luoge and the others in an encirclement situation, and looked at Su Qin, who was standing outside the encirclement, stunned.

A thought flashed through Su Qin's mind, "Robber!"
