It was night, and everyone lost the interest in picking up the wind and washing the dust for Xu Hao, Xu Hao drank a few glasses of water and wine and went back to the room early, everyone was bored, and the banquet quickly dispersed.

Xu Hao returned to the room without sleep, opened the window, and a cold wind rushed in his face. After months of retreat and practice, the seasons rotated, and in the blink of an eye, it was winter.

The icy air was inhaled into the abdominal cavity, and Xu Hao's spirit couldn't help but perk. For some reason, after the incident during the day, Xu Hao's mood has been low.

Feeling bored, Xu Hao looked up at the night and decided to go to Qiu Fatzi's place to sit.

Out of the door, the coldness hit his body, Xu Hao shivered, his clothes were still a thin summer dress, and he thought that tomorrow it would be time for Bilian's girl to change her outfit.

Xu Hao tightened his shirt, shrunk his neck, put his hands in his sleeves like an old farmer, and walked towards Qiu Fatzi's residence in the cold moonlight.

Tonight, it was Chen Tang's turn to be on duty with the captain of their ninth squad, the weather was getting colder and colder these days, and the night was becoming more and more hard. Fortunately, today was the first half of the night, Chen Tang rubbed his frozen numb cheeks, felt the wine bag around his waist and poured a sip of soju into his mouth, a warmth rose from his spleen and stomach, Chen Tang exhaled a breath of heat comfortably, and then handed the wine bag to his captain.

Chen Tang was originally a pawn of the Jincheng border army, because he was envious of the food of the Xiao cavalry camp and the extra few cars of silver every month, he insisted on asking someone to arrange him into the Xiao cavalry camp, Chen Tang was a native of Jincheng, and before the war, he relied on a generous salary of the Xiao cavalry camp, and the whole family of four lived a happy life.

But the good times didn't last long, Qin Tian, the commander of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, didn't know what he had done, and even the five hundred brothers with the Xiao Cavalry Battalion were cut off from the military and driven out of Jincheng.

Although he later learned that this was all deliberately arranged by the capital, and the salary was much more than before, Chen Tang still missed his elderly parents in Jincheng and his mother-in-law's hot quilt more. And now, these only thoughts are gone, and the iron cavalry of the Great Zhou not only crushed Chen Tang's life alone, but also broke the family in ten of the five hundred border troops.

In Sunset Mountain, after learning that Jincheng was slaughtered, everyone lived a life like a walking corpse, and the guilt of the 250,000 soldiers who died in battle, and the self-blame for the loss of their wives and children, tormented the hearts of these men all the time, and their only wish at that time was to be able to kill a few Zhou soldiers and die on the battlefield. It wasn't until Xu Hao's arrival that they all broke through to become martial artists, and they gave birth to a trace of life.

"Yu Tou, we have to go back to Daxing tomorrow, can we kill a few more Zhou soldiers when we go back this time?" Chen Tang tightened his collar and asked the captain of their team.

The captain of the ninth squad is named Yu Qi, and he looks like he is in his early fifties. also deliberately left a small handful of goatees, which is even older. The other teams called him Old Yu. Chen Tang persuaded him to shave this beard several times, but every time he said that his mother-in-law liked the handful of beard he kept. Each of the brothers in the ninth squad didn't know how many times they had heard it. But after Jincheng was slaughtered, no one persuaded him to shave his beard.

Unbeknownst to him, the conversation between Chen Tang and Lao Yu happened to be heard by Xu Hao, who was passing by. Xu Hao didn't speak, but found a secluded place and squatted quietly to listen to their conversation.

I saw that the old man Yu closed his eyes, took a sip of wine in his mouth, and let the spicy soju permeate the entire mouth for a while before slowly swallowing, with a satisfied face.

"This time I go back to Daxing, I really want to go with the young master, if I can beat Zhou Jun like today every day, even if I can live a few years less, I will be comfortable. ”

"Would you like to shave this goatee?" Chen Tang quipped, but regretted it as soon as he said it.

A trace of pain flashed in Old Yu's eyes.

"Do you want to or not, people are gone, as long as you can avenge those dead brothers and avenge my mother-in-law who died of death, not to mention a few beards, it doesn't matter if you cut off the flesh of my old Yutou. ”

Lao Yu's first few words also evoked Chen Tang's sadness.

"If it weren't for Qin Tou's insistent stopping, how many of the five hundred brothers on the mountain would be left? Most of our brothers are from the Jincheng area, which one is not burdened with a sea of blood and hatred! Poor my father and mother are dying, but there is not even a person to collect the corpse! As he spoke, Chen Tang's eyes turned red, and while he poured wine into his mouth, he inadvertently wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

Old Yu patted Chen Tang on the shoulder.

"Anyway, we handed over our lives to the young master, and the young master can take us to kill a few more Zhou Jun, and he will kill a few more, don't go to the underworld at that time, and the brothers below can't raise their heads when they ask. Also, no matter what, we have to protect the young master's thoroughness! If it weren't for Lord Dutong, we wouldn't even have a chance to stand and drink a few sips of soju now. ”

"Well, we can't protect the young master's thoughtfulness, and we don't have the shame to go down to see Lord Dutong and Mrs. Dutong. Chen Tang nodded heavily.

When Xu Hao heard this, he stood up and walked back silently, without alarming the two Jincheng pawns.

The night was still cold, but Xu Hao could no longer feel the slightest chill, and his mood became more and more heavy.

The next day, the three elders of the Wumeng came to the small courtyard where Xu Hao lived early, and at the same time brought a lot of gold and silver, Qiu Fatzi stood aside and smiled happily, although Qin Tian said that his face was light and light, but the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be hidden.

Xu Hao had a big head for a while, to say that now Sunset Mountain is not short of gold and silver after Ma stepped on Xiangyunling, but these two financial fans are like this nymphomaniac every time they see gold and silver. In a word, I'm still scared of poverty.

Xu Hao didn't sleep all night last night, weighing the pros and cons, and finally he didn't feel at ease and broke up the people and let them go back to Daxing. Qin Tian also felt that it would be more appropriate to go back together.

Bidding farewell to the three elders of the Wu Alliance, the Sunset Mountain Tribes rode all the way west, and the momentum was quite large.

There is no wall in Qiancheng, and no one in the city lord's mansion comes out to stop it, and the exit from the city is quite smooth.

It seems that Hu Tai is really afraid of Xu Hao.

What I never thought was that in the more than ten large and small towns I encountered next, the travel of the upper part of the people was quite smooth on the sunset. This greatly surprised Xu Hao.

The group stopped and stopped, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at the border city of the Great Zhou Dynasty - Yangguan. As long as you pass the Yangguan, you will reach the boundary of Daxing, although Daxing is now occupied by the Zhou State, but in the hearts of everyone, Daxing is still their homeland.

Xu Haole stopped his horses, looked at the majestic Yangguan City in front of him, and suddenly turned around and shouted loudly: "Come out, you've followed all the way, don't come out and wait until you pass Yangguan, don't cause misunderstanding." ”

Everyone looked back at the same time, only to see two horsemen walking slowly from not far away, and the people who came were Ouyang Wan and Meng Qi.

It turned out that after Ouyang Wan learned that Xu Hao and they were going to Xiliang, he had been pestering the three old men to follow Xu Hao to Xiliang, and the three old men naturally could not agree.

Xu Hao and the others had just left Qiancheng with their front feet, and she followed with her back feet. By the time the three old men found out, she was already far away. had to send Meng Qi to chase all the way.

In fact, Xu Hao had already discovered the whereabouts of Ouyang Wan and Meng Qi, and Meng Qi was behind the unimpeded flow along the way. It's just that Ouyang Wan's arrogant temperament has never walked with Xu Hao and them.

When the two got closer, Xu Hao and Meng Qi couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly.

"Brother Xu, don't come to harm!" Meng Qi beckoned.

"Hehe, Brother Meng and Miss Ouyang also got out of Qiancheng, but thanks to Brother Meng's efforts all the way, we arrived at Yangguan so smoothly. Xu Hao thanked him.

Meng Qi smiled bitterly and tapped Ouyang Wan with his finger, which unexpectedly caused the little girl to roll her eyes.

"Hmph! Ouyang Wanzhen raised his head lightly and glanced at Xu Hao.

Xu Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Miss Ouyang, I hope to tell you where you offended the girl, if you really accidentally bump into the girl somewhere, you must apologize to the girl!"

Xu Hao's words were nothing that others listened to. But the three girls of Niuzi and Bilian Honghe quit, and when they saw it, they were about to rush up to argue about the merits, Xu Hao hurriedly signaled Qiu Fatzi and the monkey to stop the three girls, although they stopped, but the resentment on the faces of the three was overflowing.

Looking at Ouyang Wan again, he tilted his head, blinked his eyes and thought for a long time, but he didn't come up with Xu Hao or anything. In fact, she knew in her heart that she was just eating Xu Hao's nameless vinegar in Wumeng.

"Okay, okay, adults don't remember villains, don't mention the past! Just remember to take this girl to Xiliang in the future." The little girl seemed to be generous and shook her hand, in fact, she also knew that she had to rely on Xu Hao to go to Xiliang, but she didn't dare to be too hypocritical, or Xu Hao sent two people to send her back to Qiancheng, and there would be no place to cry when she cried.

At the same time, in the Qiancheng City Lord's Mansion, the entire mansion was plain white, and Hu Tai nested in the wide back of the chair, and the whole person had not recovered from the pain of losing his son, and his expression was depressed. Zhou Zhengqi, who was across the coffee table, was also plain, and in recent days, it was only this prince of the Great Zhou who could get close to Hu Tai's side.

"I received the flying pigeon message today, Xu Hao's group is less than a hundred miles away from Yangguan, and I think that I must have arrived in Yangguan today. Zhou Zhengqi said calmly.

"Just watching them go all the way back to Daxing?" Hu Tai's voice was visibly hoarse.

"So what, now that the battle ahead is tight, and Snow Eagle's black-clothed army can't pull away, it's not wise to poke this hornet's nest now. Please also ask Uncle Wang to be calm and not impatient, as long as the battle ahead slows down a little, I will send Xueying back, and I will definitely give Uncle Wang justice. ”

"But Xu Hao" thought of being defeated by Xu Hao in front of the city guards and fled. Hu Tai's face couldn't help but turn blue for a while.

A touch of contempt at the corner of Zhou Zhengqi's mouth flashed away.

"Uncle Wang doesn't have to worry too much, the plan ahead has been carried out smoothly, or it won't be long before Xu Hao will be handed over to Uncle Wang for Uncle Wang to dispose of. Zhou Zhengqi's eyes narrowed slightly.
