Chapter 343: No return before the Purple Pass

At the same time, Luzhou, the host province of the Beidi River. Several horses galloped forward in the mountains, suddenly appearing in the forest, suddenly appearing in the depression, and the sound was as fast as thunder.

The longitudinal horse roared, and the way home was approaching. Xue Tang and the others, who went north early, still had only three days to go, and they could return to the camp in the north of the town.

I still remember that half a month ago, when they were about to pass through the eastern capital, a horse caught up with them. It was a light and strong man called Shen Hetong in Yijian Villa, Xue Tang had some impression of him, and he recognized the identity of the other party when they met.

At that time, Shen Hetong did not speak out to explain in time. Xue Tang had to ask himself, what is the so-called matter when he came this time.

This man, who has a relationship with Xue Tang, is so embarrassed to speak out, saying that he wants to join the ranks like the three village owners more than walking the rivers and lakes.

Xue Tang didn't think much about it, so he let him go north with him. However, it must not be possible to bring it directly into the Zhenbei camp, and after Xue Tang entered the Eastern Capital, he visited an old acquaintance in the army.

Shen Hetong was introduced to that person, and then he continued to go to Zisaiguan, where the Zhenbei camp was located. Now stepping on the familiar grass, whether it is Xue Tang or the subordinates who are walking with him, they all want to shout.

"Brother Xue, you said you could really be exempted from the punishment of military affairs?"

"On the bright side, I guess it can... In the future, I guess I will inevitably be beaten by the general..."

"Then this face of stepping on the snow is not easy to make..."

"It's the day we return to camp, and we should be punished!" Listening to Xue Tang's words, the brothers behind him had to roar in the forest, lamenting how difficult the future would be.

Xue Tang slammed his mouth and shouted to the back.

"What are you worried about now, don't run with me before!"

"Hey, Brother Xue said this, it seems that the brothers are afraid of the punishment, yes..."Xue Tang said disdainfully: "Is it that after coming out for a long time, your mouth and kung fu have grown more and more?" Someone hurriedly said: "Don't, it's not up at all!" Then he muttered softly: "No one can compare to you anyway..."Xue Tang pretended not to hear it, waved the horsewhip in his hand, and galloped forward.

"I have military merits, and there should be less pain in the flesh and skin, so you have to weigh it yourself!" As soon as these words came out, the remaining soldiers of the Zhenbei battalion immediately chased after Xue Tang.

From time to time, he still called out in his mouth, Brother Xue and other brothers, how much should be evenly given to the brothers! But how can this military merit be evened out a little?

But when Xue Tang and the others had just bypassed a village and town and were about to continue merging into the mountain road, they found some movement ahead.

There seems to be a sound of killing and shouting...

"The man solves it on the spot! The women's clothes are stripped off, and all those who have good looks are given to the brothers to try them! ”

"Those who look at the gold in it will save their lives first... Just grab some fingers, and maybe you can keep them for money! ”

"It's still the big brother's thoughts!" This is only five miles away from the previous village and town, and it is still a hillside with a wide view, and it is actually full of people at this time.

Looking at the clothes of the people outside, most of them are fur and tooth decorations, and they don't need to think much about it. But this made Xue Tang a little puzzled, there were still such arrogant bandits who had entered the Northland?

Although there are not military camps in the north of Yanyang, there are also soldiers in various states and cities. If you want to stand on your own and be the emperor of the land in these intervals, it is even more difficult than in the south.

After all, if you put it in the south, you can still circle yourself in a beautiful place

"Founding a sect". And the people who were besieged by these bandits, looking at the clothes and ornaments, were a little luxuriously dressed, and most of them were dressed in sackcloth and short shirts... It is estimated that it is the traveling son-in-law and the family members who accompanied him.

Xue Tang made a gesture, and all the subordinates behind him wrapped their hands around the neck of the mount. After this action, all the horses, including Xue Tang's mount, fell silent, waiting for Xue Tang's next instructions.

Xue Tang said softly: "Later, I will rush forward first, investigate the situation of the bandits, listen to my sword signals, and save the people as much as possible!" The group behind him nodded, then reached out and grabbed the saber at his waist.

Xue Tang glanced at the two slashers on the side of the horse's back, which were Feng Hong, which imitated Burning Zhu Que, and his own saber Howling White Wolf.

With one hand, he handed out the hilt of the sword that held the maple red, and with the other hand, he pulled the reins and walked forward. The bandits on the hillside were still wielding knives to intimidate the besiegers, but they soon looked back.

Behind them came a man and a horseman. The man sat on horseback with his hair tied up in a white robe, and in his right hand he held a dark red blade.

The person who looked like the leader of the bandits walked out of the crowd and pointed directly at Xue Tang's door.

He joked: "Your Excellency is dressed like this, isn't it the chivalrous hero?" Xue Tang didn't speak, just looked around at the bandit in front of him, taking in the bottom of his eyes.

About twenty-six or seven... The bandit leader was obviously a little annoyed by Xue Tang's silence, and immediately swung his knife.

"Brothers, leave those mothers-in-law alone! Chop this man into puree for me first! Dare to come to your grandfather's territory and go wild... Don't want to live anymore? As his words spoke, the bandits behind him immediately raised their knives and rushed towards Xue Tang.

Xue Tang also moved at the same time, first with a red map in his hand, and the horses under the seat also rushed forward!

As soon as he saw him, the bandit who was the first to meet him immediately turned his head in a different place. Then Xue Tang swung out another sword, and the momentum of sweeping thousands of armies immediately appeared.

There are bandits who can dodge the maple red slash, and when they are still snickering in their hearts, they see the dark red blade slashing again!

The bandit's eyes were full of horror, and this sword was actually cut on both sides... Even if he forcibly resisted with a horizontal sword, he would not be able to escape.

The powerful coercion from the dark red blade caused the bandit to fall to his knees. Just as he was about to roll and dodge, a horse's hoof suddenly stepped in front of him, directly stomping his chest into a depression.

The screams suddenly resounded around the hillside. Ahhh

He looked around in a panic, and when he didn't know what to do, his head turned back strangely. The leader of the bandits shouted, "He is only one man! Kill their crotch mounts first, then surround them! Don't be afraid! But such a shout did not last long in the hearts of these more than 20 bandits.

Just as they were about to encircle Xue Tang, they suddenly saw this white-robed man holding up the dark red blade in his hand.

The next moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded from its source! The rest of the soldiers of the Zhenbei battalion, just like Xue Tang, held a war knife in their hands, and rushed towards the bandit crowd.

Kill!!! Kill!! Kill! The shouts that came out of their mouths obviously frightened the bandits.

Originally, he was still swinging his knife to slash at Xue Tang, but immediately lost the blade in his hand and ran backwards. And those who had previously had foul words in their mouths, like rats exposed to the light of the sky, began to flee in all directions.

But these scattered and retreated in an orderly manner, can they really escape the pursuit of the Zhenbei camp? Xue Tang lifted the red in his hand, and the royal horse traveled towards the bandit leader, and no one around him dared to step forward and wave the knife at him.

The rest of the soldiers of the Zhenbei battalion stared at a few people, and slashed out with knives in their hands, but there was nothing to live.

Xue Tang said loudly: "When and where did the incident start?" The bandit leader's lips trembled, and he lifted the shaky blade in his hand and pointed it at Xue Tang.

Xue Tang said again: "How many people have cholera so far, can there be a number in their hearts? The bandit leader looked at the person in front of him, and he was getting closer and closer, and he didn't dare to move a step at the moment.

Just as Xue Tang was about to speak again, the bandit leader suddenly began to scream, and the blade in his hand also waved indiscriminately.

Xue Tang's eyes narrowed slightly, and when the bandit leader rushed towards him, the maple red in his hand was immediately handed out. The tip of the dark red blade had already sunk into the leader's neck.

Immediately after that, he twisted the handle of the knife and killed the bandit leader in front of him on the spot. At the same time that Xue Tang ended his life, all the bandits on the hillside were also dealt with by the soldiers of the Zhenbei battalion.

The group of people who were originally besieged in the middle of the hillside looked at the sudden change in their eyes, and their eyes were full of shock.

In the center, a richly dressed man stepped out. He first rubbed the jade wrench in his hand, and then squeezed out a smile and looked at Xue Tang.

"Alas... Thank you heroes for saving your lives, the little one who led his servants to pass by here actually met these villains..."Xue Tang didn't reply immediately, but with a flick of his wrist, he pulled Feng Hong out of the leader's neck.

Suddenly, blood gushed out from the torn neck. This inevitably made the hem of the thankful man splashed with some blood.

The man's reaction was a little abnormal, he didn't have the slightest fear of blood, but put on a sad face.

He sighed: "What a good robe... I can't wear it backwards! Xue Tang looked at the man's reaction, and the small blood mark on the back of the bandit leader confirmed the conjecture in his heart.

The people who are surrounded are the key to danger. Xue Tang asked, "What is the significance of setting up a situation like this?" The man fiddled with the hem of his clothes casually, and did not look at Xue Tang, who was only five steps away from him.

"Life is a lot of sorrow and little happiness in the world, why bother with so many questions..."Xue Tang raised his hand to signal, and the soldiers of the Zhenbei battalion behind him immediately closed to him.

Next, be ready to rush out at any time! Looking at the posture of Xue Tang and the others, this man of unknown origin finally looked at them.

At some point, there were several more wooden plaques in his hand, and he raised his hand and shook them in front of his eyes, as if he was chanting the name on the wooden plaque.

When the man finished reading all of them, it happened to be the names of everyone on the trip, including Xue Tang. The wooden plaques are rustic, with their names engraved on the front and all on the reverse

The word "Zhenbei". When the man looked at Xue Tang again, he said with a smile: "Entrusted by people, loyal to people, someone wants to buy your lives, so I have to come..."

Xue Tang looked at the man's face and shouted, "Charge with me!" The soldiers of the Zhenbei battalion behind him waved their swords together.

...... Half an hour later, there was no more life on the hillside. All that was left were the corpses of the bandits, and a dark red blade that stabbed into the ground.

On the handle of the maple red knife, there were several wooden plaques engraved with the names of Xue Tang and others.
