The moon is dark, the wind is urgent, and the night of murder.

There was a clattering sound of horses' hooves in the quiet wilderness. Under the hazy moonlight, a lone woman rode a snow-white horse galloping all the way.

Under the bumps of the cloud horse, Mo Yunxiao's body was already shaking a little. Although she could use her body's instinctive ability to steer a horse from falling, she also lost her grasp of direction, and countless branches brushed her face, whipping her cheeks painfully.

"Yun Cheng!" She suddenly let out a loud cry, and at the same time, her body lost its center of gravity and fell off the back of the cloud horse. "Oops!" She rolled on the ground a few times, but she didn't feel much pain.

When she opened her eyes, she had fallen on a large patch of snow. The snow is soft, and falling on it is like falling into a pile of cotton, where will it hurt?

She stood up from the snow and looked to see that the cloud horse was standing not far away, exhaling a thick mist from her nostrils. "Okay, you, you actually dumped me." She said as she walked.

But at this moment, a bright light flashed from the left, followed by the sound of horses' hooves. Mo Yunxiao's heart tightened, and she hurriedly pulled out the messy branches in front of her and looked at it. This hope surprised her a lot.

I saw a group of officers and soldiers rushing towards them with torches held high. Behind these foot soldiers were dozens of soldiers on horseback, one of whom was dressed in fish scale armor and made a terrifying debut in the light of the fire. Mo Yunxiao hurriedly lowered her body, for fear that the officers and soldiers would find out.

"Quick! Fast! Fast! If the thief escapes, Master Sheng will definitely ask you! "It seems that the one who spoke was the general in chain armor.

"Thieves?" Mo Yunxiao hid in the dark bushes, and the officers and soldiers just rushed away without discovering her. She listened carefully, and after a while, the footsteps and shouts of the officers and soldiers gradually faded away. The whole wilderness fell silent again.

"Could it be ......" A terrible thought rose in Mo Yunxiao's mind. She once again pulled out the bushes in front of her and looked at them, thinking to herself: "Isn't the direction in which the officers and soldiers are going is Liu Dadao's residence?" Yikes! Could it be that the identity of their deserters has been discovered? ”

Thinking of this, Mo Yunxiao suddenly felt bad. She hurriedly got up, led the horse, climbed up with great difficulty, and then leaned down and said to it, "Ma'er, your master is in trouble, let's hurry back...... Yes! ”

Before the words fell, the cloud horse had already risen and galloped away along the same road with four hooves. Fortunately, Mo Yunxiao's hand held the reins tightly, and he stepped on the stirrup with both feet so that he was not thrown off by it.

Maybe Yun Qian Ma is a little familiar with Mo Yunxiao, or maybe the horse control technique of this body has gradually been awakened, compared to the loss of soul just now, this time the horse riding is much calmer.

But now she didn't think about these things in her heart, but thought: "How did the government know that Liu Dadao and they live here?" Looking at the posture of the officers and soldiers, they must have learned the news suddenly, but who revealed the news to them......" All kinds of questions swirled in her mind, making her both anxious and nervous.

Before she had time to think too much, her eyes could already catch a faint glimmer of light in the inky wilderness. She rubbed her eyes, and was convinced that this light was not a firefly, but Zhuangzi who had just strode out by herself.

At this time, Mo Yunxiao rode a cloud horse on a hillside, looking down, only to see that the house was very wide, and the walls stretched to both sides, like two long and strong arms holding the house in the house.

At this moment, the vigorous footsteps of the officers and soldiers slowly approached. The infantrymen in red armor were like magma gushing out of a volcanic crater, and when they arrived at Zhuangzi, they diverted and surrounded the small Zhuangzi. The cavalry lined up in front of the gate of Zhuangzi, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

Mo Yunxiao hurriedly dismounted and hid behind the tall bushes, so although she stood tall and had a good view, she was not easy to be discovered by the people below.

The officer in the fish-scale armor touched his chin and looked at the Zhuangzi with a look of disdain. His adjutant shouted, "Have the people in the village heard the movement?" There are officers and soldiers dispatched, and they still don't greet them? ”

At this time, an old servant hurriedly came to open the door of the village, and then gave a salute to the officer and the adjutant, and asked in a muddy and deep voice: "I don't know what the military master has to say when he visits the village late at night?" ”

"Stop talking nonsense and call out your masters." The officer raised his chin and said arrogantly.

Before he finished speaking, he saw a group of family members holding torches flying out of the village. After they went out, they lined up in two teams and formed a confrontation with the officers and soldiers.

The officers and men thought that the "thief" would be arrested with their hands tied, but they did not expect that they would be openly arrested, and they could not help but panic a little.

At this time, the officer narrowed his eyes, and in the shadowy firelight, he saw a man in a short cloth coat walking slowly out of the village. The officer smiled and said, "Brother Baocheng, it's really you." What about Brother Liu? Why don't you call him out, our brothers reminisce about old love. ”

Bao Cheng also smiled and replied: "Qiu Wuchang, I haven't seen you for many years, and you have been promoted?" Why, now that I have climbed the lintel of Sheng Fu Yin, it is difficult for my brothers. ”

"Huh? Are the two of them old acquaintances? Listening to the conversation between the two, Mo Yunxiao was even more puzzled. Bao Cheng and the officer surnamed Qiu must be familiar with each other, but seeing that their demeanor is not good, their tone is mixed with ridicule, like a narrow road for enemies, and enemies meet each other.

As soon as she thought of this, the enemy officer really changed color, and said angrily: "Baocheng! Don't pretend to be confused! According to the law of my Great Song Dynasty, it is a great crime for you and Liu Dadao to defect to Yongle City. In the next is just to act in accordance with the law, please call the surname Liu out, let's take a trip to Kaifeng Mansion, brother, I can still read the friendship of the old robe, excuse you a few words, maybe there will be a turnaround. ”

Hearing this, Bao Cheng laughed wantonly. He burst out laughing, and the birds around him were scared away.

Officer Qiu felt that he was being slighted, so he asked coldly, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Baocheng snorted and replied calmly: "I laughed at you for not measuring your strength, thinking that you could be the enemy of the world's hard-working people by relying on the court; Second, you are short-sighted, working hard for the mean and unkind court, but you are afraid that no one will collect the corpse in the future; Three laughs, I don't know people clearly, and I actually lead you, a villain who is greedy for wealth and wealth, and sells friends for glory, as a confidant! Hum! Qiu Feng! I'll tell you the truth, I'm the only one in this village. Brother Liu and the brothers have already left, just like a fish returning to the sea and a tiger going up to the mountains, no matter how great your mansion Yin and the official family have, they can't be caught! ”

"Rampant! Furious! Qiu Feng, who was riding on his horse, was furious, and immediately raised his hand, and a line of archers stood out proudly, and the sharp arrows reflected a dazzling brilliance in the light of the fire.

This brilliance was not only reflected in the eyes of Baocheng and the others, but also in the eyes of Mo Yunxiao on the hillside. She unconsciously clenched her fists, and her eyes looked at Bao Cheng without moving for a moment.

Bao Cheng was not afraid, pointed his finger at Qiu Feng, and said sharply: "It's easy for you to kill me, and see who collects the body with you in the future!" You renegade and shameless villain, if you hadn't been greedy for wealth and nobility, why would our brother be like this! ”

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Qiu Feng was furious, and before Baocheng could finish speaking, he roared at the top of his throat. At his command, dozens of sharp arrows burst out of the air and inserted into Baocheng's body. There was also a commotion, and they were about to rush up to fight with the officers and soldiers. But Bao Cheng staggered and shouted: "Don't move! ”

"Ahh Mo Yunxiao exclaimed in surprise, but immediately covered her mouth with her hand and pressed her body under the grass. But her eyes were flustered, and she still looked at Baocheng intently.

Bao Cheng only snorted coldly, his body went limp, and he fell on his back. The family rushed up to hold him up, and one of them sniffed out and found him dead.

Qiu Feng just smiled contemptuously, ignoring the angry eyes of the family members, and ordered: "Go in and search!" Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find out Liu Dadao for me! The officers and soldiers answered, and they lined up in two teams and broke into Zhuangzi.

"No in the East House!" "Westinghouse doesn't!" "There is no hall! "The cloister doesn't! ”…… Sergeants' shouts came one after another. Qiu Feng just rode on a tall horse and kept touching his chin.

At this time, Mo Yunxiao was already in tears. But she didn't dare to cry out loud, so she had to cover her mouth and whimper quietly. Although Bao Cheng used tricks to catch her, which made her angry, she seemed to feel the loyalty and martyrdom in their bones after getting along with these people. This is a fine character that only the ancients had, and it is extremely lacking in modern people.

Although Bao Cheng is a little slippery, he is still a real husband. But he was killed like this, and there was nothing he could do to save him. After the panic and shock at this time of life and death, Mo Yunxiao fell into an inextricable sense of shame and self-blame.

After a while, the officers and soldiers retreated and told one after another: "Yu Hou, there is no one else in the village except for a few old clumsy family members. ”

Qiu Feng's eyes lit up and asked, "But have you explored it clearly?" The officers and men looked at each other and said in unison: "Yu Hou has an order, and I dare not neglect it." ”

Qiu Feng's clenched fist swung heavily in the air, as if with great chagrin. "Liu Dadao must not be able to go far, let's withdraw our troops and go back first." As he spoke, he turned his horse's head and turned away.

An adjutant beside him stopped him, glanced at Baocheng who had fallen to the ground, and asked, "Yu Hou, is this......?" How can I clean it up? ”

"Him?" Qiu Feng smiled coldly and said, "It's just a small fish and shrimp, don't care what he does." These servants were all brought back for interrogation, and they must know where Liu Dadao went. ”

When the officers and soldiers came, they gathered like dark clouds, and the oppression made people breathless. When he went, it was like a violent storm, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the black wilderness with a group of "prisoners".
