"It's hard outside, and the rogue harasses my people all year round." Cui Yinggong was a little arrogant when he heard it, "Cui went to help the soldiers of the border fortress, just to make meritorious contributions and defend the country." ”

"That's how men should be." Chen Jinqiu poked out his sleeve robe with two fingers and pointed to Cui Yinggong's armor, "A man should be like Cui Yinggong!" ”

Cui Yinggong listened very helpfully, he laughed loudly, and said: "Master Cheng Jiyan, before I left, I had a letter to Lord Chen, which was originally intended to be handed over to Lord Tingweizheng, but now Lord Chen Qiusheng needs to stay in Yanzhou to deter the people. Helplessly, this letter can only be handed over to Chen Sanye. ”

The three heroes of the Chen family are divided into large, second and third in Chongdu, and Cui Yinggong leads the defense of the Chongdu forbidden army all the year round, and he is calling the officials of Chongdu in private.

"Then I will accept it on behalf of my brother." Chen Jinqiu took the letter handed over, looked up and asked, "...... this letter?"

"The Great Commonplace." Cui Yingong whispered, and then straightened up and hugged his fists, "My lord looks at it on the road, the military affairs are again, and the captain of this school is about to set off, goodbye." ”

Chen Jinqiu bowed goodbye, and he spread out the letter to read it carefully.

In the letter, Pang Boyi praised Chen Qiusheng's fairness in the trial, and said that he would ask His Majesty for a reward.

But Chen Jinqiu didn't believe Pang Boyi anymore after Chen Qiusheng's guidance, he knew that the more beautiful the letter was, how much Pang Boyi hated them Chen in his heart.

After all, the empty treasury can't afford to wait, and without Yanzhou, a wharf trade that leads to Kyushu, every day of his Pang Boyi is like a year.

He's not going to give up!

Chen Jinqiu tucked the letter into his sleeve and watched the neat military column turn to the northeast avenue. Then he got into the carriage with the help of the servants, and the convoy set off again.

The two teams crossed over, and in the prisoner car, Jiang Zimo's cloudy eyes inadvertently scanned the passing soldiers.

Suddenly—

As if he had seen something, he jerked forward, his arms clutched at the pillar, and his eyes stared at one of the people in the group in horror.

The man was dressed in an ordinary soldier's uniform, with a sword at his waist and a helmet on his head, the soldier looked at Jiang Zimo passing by his side, clasped his fists silently with both hands, and bowed slightly to Jiang Zimo.

Jiang Zimo muttered in surprise: "Baichuan ......"

Jiang Baichuan, who was dressed in military uniform, turned around, and most of the team had gone through it in a blink of an eye, and it had reached the end.

At the rear of the army stood tall on his horse, his sturdy figure unusually strong, and his whip in his hand sounded in the air.

Syllable!

"Keep up, keep up!" The black bear rode over, and his thick voice sounded like a muffled thunderbolt, "Damn it, don't fall behind!" ”

At the end of Chen Jinqiu's convoy, a carriage passed by the black bear's war horse, and in the prisoner carriage covered by canvas, a person heard the black bear's words, and suddenly burst into a low laugh.

The corner of the canvas swayed in the wind, and in the open gap, a large hand in thick shackles climbed the wooden post, and an old eye was illuminated by the morning light.

"Son."

The voice was low and hoarse, and it was extremely weak.

The voice paused for a moment, stared at the black bear's distant figure, and said gently.

"Don't be afraid."

……

CHAPTER XXXII

It's been a long road......

It's a long time......

The wheels of the car rolled, and the dull squeak made the heart that wanted to be silent more and more restless.

There was no water here, it was dry, muggy, pitch black, and the cool breeze that blew in through the cracks was getting hotter and hotter, why? Because the blood was boiling, the locked lute bones made a crisp sound, and it was the bones roaring, trying to break free from the shackles.

The thick palms full of thick calluses climbed the wooden pillars, and the old eyes were full of endless longing, looking at the distant scenery along the way.

He breathed, smelled the scent of grass, and looked up, the sky was slightly dim, and the sky was covered by clouds, gray with a rich black.

It's going to rain.

The old bear looked at the sky with satisfaction, slowly bowed his head, and said to himself: "It's going to rain." ”

He missed being in the water, the underwater world that slowed everything down. In that environment, you can only hear your own voice when you are quiet.

The old bear closed his eyes, the low thunder echoing in his ears, and he recalled in his mind what it was like to be in the water.

Fire, there was fire everywhere, the old bear did not remember the feeling in the water, and the vivid scene was surrounded by fire.

The scorching flames burned the eaves, and the fiery curtains fluttered in the air.

The figure was surrounded by firelight, and the old bear frowned in pain, he didn't want to see the face clearly, but the voice still echoed in his heart.

"What do you want?" The figure twisted and swayed in the fire, "I can give it to you." ”

The old bear saw his young self in the twisted flames, a strong figure, as tall as a barrier, with a knife in his hand, and looked at the man in the flames.

"I want glory and wealth!" The young old bear stretched out his arms as if to hug the heavens and the earth, "For a lifetime!" ”

"Hahahaha." The man in the flames laughed wildly, "So easy? ”

The old Xiong Han knife pointed at the woman who was cowering in the corner, grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said savagely: "I still want her!" ”

"Give! I'll give you everything you want! The man spoke proudly, and then raised his arm and lowered his long finger to the ground, "Bow down and obey, and I will do as you wish!" ”

Bang!

There was a thunderclap in the sky, and the prisoner cart shook violently, and the old bear woke up from his pain.

The escort rode his horse at a gallop, tightened his reins, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Master Yu, it looks like a flat road, but somehow it suddenly collapsed." The servant pointed to the pit under the carriage and complained, "No, the prisoners in this cart are too heavy, and the wheels are jammed." ”

The drizzle fell and pounded the solid thick soil.

The guard rode his horse closer to take a closer look, he held his jaw and pondered for a moment, and said, "Send someone to push the cart, and I will go to the front to tell Lord Chen." ”

The servants wiped their sweat and nodded, and then summoned several accompanying servants to support the prisoner cart and push the cart together. But the old bear and the prisoner cart were surprisingly heavy, and the four servants worked together, but the prisoner cart was getting deeper and deeper in the swing.

"What's going on?" Chen Jinqiu lifted the curtain, looked behind him and asked, "Is there any movement?" ”

"Your Excellency, the prison cart is so heavy that the road has collapsed." The escort rode his horse and galloped closer, and he rubbed the raindrops dripping from the brim of his hat, "My subordinates have sent someone to push the cart, and it will take a while." Adults can come down and rest for a while. ”

"It rains when it rains in this haze, and I don't care about the rough skin and rough meat." Houde bowed his waist and raised his sleeves to wipe the rain on his face, "But the second master's car behind is still in the ice." ”

Chen Jinqiu was also worried about this, he looked at the personal servant in front of the car window and asked, "How long is it until the nearest post station?" ”

The servant's index finger rubbed his sideburns and pondered, and he estimated and said, "It has to be half a day's journey, the convoy is crowded, and there are many objects, and it will be almost at this time." ”

Chen Jinqiu was in trouble, he sighed, lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, and said to the guards: "You are sending a few guards to push the cart together, be fast, don't delay the hour." ”

The escort led the order to point to a few people, and Yuan Ji, who was disguised as a guard, was also in the ranks.

The guards rode quite fast, and went straight to the back to see that the four servants were already tired and sweating profusely, and they couldn't push the prisoner cart even a little after shouting for a long time.

The rain was getting heavier, Yuan Ji turned over and dismounted and approached to look at the wheels of the car, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and then he leaned over and reached out to touch the mud, and rubbed his fingers, and his face became suspicious.

Although it is a rainy day in the valley and a haze and rainy day, from Yanzhou all the way to the present, the road section where the horse runs will take off dust, but the mud under the prisoner car is actually wet, and it is full of a unique coolness of the mountain woodland.

It's not rain, it's like a spring in the mountains.

But there is no stream around, and the rest of the ground is dry, but this is the only place......

Yuanji kept an eye on it and became vigilant.

"It's all on the trolley, and the adults are in a hurry." The guard beckoned to his colleagues, "Quick, quick." ”

Several of the guards were in good health, and they were about to exert force on the edge of the car, when a loud neighing of horses suddenly came from the fork on the side!

Everyone looked sideways, and saw a horse pulling a cart rushing towards the prisoner cart like crazy, everyone was startled, and the guards pushed the people to hide in the grass, and then they saw the horse sweep straight by, and slammed into the prisoner cart!

With a thud, the horse fell on its back, splashing a little bit of wet mud. The cart was stuck in the prisoner's cart, half of it creaking idle.

Everyone looked around at each other, and then they all let out a sigh of relief.

At the same time, several strong men on horseback suddenly rushed to the side of the fork.

When they came near, one of them clenched his fists first, and said in an urn voice, "Are you all right?" I'm really sorry. The horse suddenly went berserk and rushed out of the group, and I chased it all the way. ”

Yuan Ji looked at these strong men, and saw that they were all tall and large, wearing thin cotton sequoias, and all of them carried various weapons around their waists, knives, swords, two-handed hammers, and one of them carried a red tassel spear in his hand.

The guards scolded secretly in their hearts, it was a coincidence, not to mention the rain, now this cart is stuck in the prisoner cart, and most of the wheels are stuck in the mud, not to mention pushing, at least eight or nine strong men must carry it.

The guard was furious in his heart, glared at the strong man and scolded: "Mourning star, can't even control a horse? It's good now, look, blocking our way, what's this called?! ”

"Hey, when you're out and about, you're getting lucky. It's not surprising that this horse is going crazy, what kind of fire are you throwing at me? The strong man is not a good temper either, "If you have the ability, you go with Ma Pingli!" ”

"Your horse, I'm in charge of it inside and outside here, which round will you refute me?" The guard angrily pointed to the prisoner car, "You push the car out, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

"Yo, I've seen a lot of crooked people who go south and north, but I haven't seen anyone who lacks virtue and dies." The strong man glanced at the people who were traveling left and right, "This is to put face on Lao Tzu?" ”

One of the guards pointed at the strong man and asked, "Where are you from with such a horizontal tone?" ”

The strong man raised his palm and patted his thick chest, gave a thumbs up to the back of his shoulder, and said proudly: "Well, the black and white road inside and outside Menzhou, the name of the Changfeng Dart Bureau, have you ever heard of it?" ”

The guard sneered, squeezed out and said in a deep voice: "We are the guards under the right prison of the court captain, what kind of bullshit and long wind dart game, Lao Tzu has never heard of it." ”

As soon as these words came out, several people behind the strong man looked at each other and shrank back as if they were a little worried.

When the strong man heard this, his eyes widened, and he opened his mouth and said in surprise: "Yo~ The co-author is still a military master, misunderstanding and misunderstanding, a few military masters are not angry, I will help you carry the car out, the water washed the Dragon King Temple, offended a few people, and offended a lot." ”

Hearing such a great change in the humble attitude of the strong man, the guard immediately raised his hand arrogantly and said, "Then let's get started, delay me and other important matters, I will make you look good." ”

"Whoa!" The strong man stretched his neck and shouted, he waved his big hand, "I heard it, hurry up, get started!" ”

Several strong men approached with cringe when they heard this, and several people crowded past the guards and held down the edge of the car.

The strong man looked around and grinned, "Listen to me, one, two!" ”

The prisoner cart shook violently, and just halfway up, a man slipped under his feet in the wet mud and took off his hand in a daze.
