On June 10, the northern border of Xishan Province, Feixu Pass.

It was supposed to be a day when the catkins were flying, but now there was a light snowfall, and the soldiers were still wearing thick winter cotton clothes, propping up their armor high.

Outside the gate, the drums are ringing, which is the challenge drum of the merchant army.

"Here we go again. ”

Tang Zhen frowned: "This is the third time, every time it's just two hundred horses rushing around, and they run away when we leave the customs, what are the merchant army thinking?"

Feng Jixing dusted off the snow on the city wall, and said with a smile: "I see that Wu Sheng and Xun Xi have no intention of really fighting, just bluffing, send Yushu to a few other passes, let them take strict precautions, we are just a feint attack here, maybe it is a real attack elsewhere, we must always exchange news and be ready for reinforcements at any time." ”

"Yes, handsome. ”

Tang Zhen turned away, while Feng Jixing squinted his eyes and said, "Zhang Wei, Lin Xun, what do you think Yang Shang is thinking, why do you want to feint on our pass?"

Zhang Wei said with a grin: "Just like His Highness said, they are just bluffing!"

Lin Xun frowned and said: "Your Highness, I'm afraid there are other deep meanings in this, Xun Xi, the military master of the merchant army, is not a scheming person, he must have his intentions in doing this." ”

"Oh, what could it be?"

"My subordinates can't guess, but they must be pinning down the main force of our army here...... Perhaps, they have a large Heavenly Book of Spatial Laws, which can transfer the army to our rear and work together to break through the barrier, or directly attack the empty Xiping Mansion and catch us off guard. ”

"There's no need to worry about that. Feng Jixing smiled slightly: "The number of people that can be teleported by the Heavenly Book of Space Law is very small, and a few hundreds or thousands of people cannot reverse the tide of the battle, don't forget, there are 100,000 people left behind in Xiping City." ”

Lin Xun said: "Then the subordinates can't guess Xun Xi's intentions." ”

"Keep an eye on their movements, as well as the movements of the Heavenly Absolute Empire, that's right. ”

"Yes!"

Feng Jixing tightened his cloak, walked down the steps, and said, "It's getting colder and colder, what the hell is the weather, I entered the customs to rest, you guys are so guarded." ”

"Your Highness, go slowly!"

Looking at the back of Feng Jixing in the distance, Lin Xun smiled slightly and said, "Lord Zhang Wei, what do you say...... Has our Highness the King of Faith lost his confidence in the battle against the Shang Kingdom?"

"Why do you say that?" Zhang Wei looked puzzled.

Otherwise, he would have said what he was thinking just now, but he didn't say it. His Royal Highness knows how powerful that Xun Xi is, and this time it is said that the transfer of troops and generals of the entire Shang Kingdom is handled by Xun Xi, so His Highness may be ......"

"Don't think about it. Zhang Wei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Do you think His Royal Highness King Xin's strategy will lose to Xun Xi? I don't think that since my old Zhang joined the forbidden army, I have never seen His Royal Highness King Xin really deflated, even if he fights with His Royal Highness King Qin, he has never fallen behind, don't worry, how much waves can a mere Xun Xi make?"

"Even so, we have to be careful. ”

"Well, Lord Lin Xun is on duty tonight, so you have to pay more attention to the situation inside and outside the gate. ”

"Good. ”

......

There was still no war in Hongyan City, and the bored Lin Muyu took Tang Xiaoxi, Qin Yin and Wei Qiu and others into the mountains to hunt, on the one hand, to pass the time, on the other hand, to move their hands and feet, and by the way to hunt some military food for the army.

Shenlu Mountain, more than 300 miles away from Hongyan City, even Orion rarely enters such deep mountains, and the snow has melted a lot, exposing the ground, so that war horses can still pass.

On this trip, Lin Muyu and the others did not wear any robes and armor, but just traveled lightly, Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi were dressed like two beautiful folk women, Lin Muyu and Wei Qiu were dressed in dark blue suits, with animal skins around their waists, like hunters, if it weren't for the fact that the war horses under their crotch were very majestic, I am afraid that others would really think that they were hunters.

"Look over there. ”

Tang Xiaoxi pointed to the distance and said, "There is a bird!"

Sure enough, an eagle falcon on the branch stayed there, looking around, and it definitely weighed four or five pounds, quite fat.

Qin Yin smiled: "It's about two hundred meters away from us, let's shoot the bow together and see who can shoot?"

"Okay, don't let go of arrows to defend your revenge. Lin Muyu pulled out a white diamond arrow from the horse.

Wei Qiu smiled and said nothing, just clasped his fists and saluted to agree, if Wei Qiu also shot together, the person who came out on top must be him, in terms of archery, in fact, Qin Yin, Tang Xiaoxi, and Lin Muyu are all good at archery, but compared to Wei Qiu, they are much inferior, and Wei Qiu is much stronger in terms of arm strength and accuracy.

"Brush Brush ......"

At the same time, three bowstrings vibrate, and the falcon on the distant branch suddenly fell to the ground!

"I'll take a look!"

Lin Muyu slapped his horse away, and directly bent down to pick up this falcon from the ground, a heavy one, quite a lot of meat, the body of the eagle falcon was shot through by an arrow, and the pole of the arrow was engraved with a thin "Tang" character, which was actually shot by Tang Xiaoxi, as for Lin Muyu and Qin Yin's two arrows seemed to be shot crooked.

"It's the prey of Xiaoshio. Lin Muyu raised the falcon and said with a smile: "It weighs seven or eight pounds, and we already have a delicious meal for cooking soup tonight." ”

Wei Qiu laughed: "Lord Xijun is really good at archery!"

Tang Xiaoxi pursed his red lips and said with a smile: "Anyone can praise me, but you can't praise me, once you praise me, let me feel that you are mocking me!"

"Haha, the subordinates don't boast, don't boast. ”

Wei Qiuce stepped forward immediately, but suddenly restrained his smile and said, "My lord, be careful behind you, something seems to be slowly approaching us, it may be a beast!"

Sure enough, there was a heavy sound of stepping on a short branch on the hillside behind Lin Muyu, and a behemoth appeared there, it was a bear, and a spirit beast with six golden lines on its head.

"Good guys!"

Wei Qiu smiled: "It's Yan Xiong, a spirit beast that is naturally good at the power of the Law of Flames, a six-thousand-year-old Yan Xiong, which is quite rare!"

"Roar!"

The Yan Xiong on the hillside roared at Lin Muyu and the others, and flames continued to erupt around his body, obviously, this big man really warned Lin Muyu and the others to step into its territory, but unfortunately, it didn't seem to know how powerful this group of people was, let alone that there was a righteous god in this group of people!

Sikong Yao on the side said: "Brother, Yan Xiong is a good thing, the fur is very valuable, it is said that it is very warm to wear in winter, even hot, although Yan Xiong meat is a little rough, but it will be very fragrant when cooked, and it can keep out the cold after eating, Yan Xiong's blood contains the power of the law of flames, which can make medicine and have a miraculous effect on chilblains." ”

"So this big guy is a treasure?"

Lin Muyu smiled slightly: "Who will solve it?"

Although it is a six-thousand-year-old spirit beast, to be honest, anyone present can easily kill it, after all, no one in this group is a fuel-efficient lamp.

Wei Qiu said: "Let me come, since Yan Xiong's fur is so good, then it is necessary to maintain the integrity of the bear hair, and his subordinates ensure that an arrow enters from the eye, penetrates the brain without piercing the head and leaving no traces." My lord, please sweep the battle for me and attract Yan Xiong's attention. ”

"Good. ”

Lin Muyuce stepped forward immediately, raised the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand slightly, and said with a playful smile: "Bear, is there a kind of fight to the death with me?"

"Roar!"

Yan Xiong was furious in the face of the provocation, while Qin Yin, Tang Xiaoxi, and Sikong Yao smiled, it was rare to see Lin Muyu have such a move again, which made Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi feel like they had returned to the past, when everyone didn't have so many burdens, and life was extremely comfortable.

"Look for death!"

Lin Muyu's arm shook slightly, and suddenly a chaotic Xuan Li danced under the horse's hooves, and it was about to explode, but this was just to attract Yan Xiong's attention, the real killing move was not a chaos, but a sharp arrow flying close to Lin Muyu's shoulder!

"Poof!"

An arrow into the brain, just as Wei Qiu said, the six-thousand-year-old Yan Xiong snorted and fell straight down, his body twitched a few times, and hung up.

Several royal guards applauded: "Commander Wei is a good archery!"

Wei Qiu hugged his fists and smiled: "Go and get blood, Yan Xiong's blood can be diluted and prepared thousands of bottles of chilblain medicine in one bowl, this is a good baby!"

"Yes!"

Several royal guards stepped forward one after another, took out the empty water bags, cut the fur on Yan Xiong's abdomen with a sharp sword, and began to take blood, the blood seemed to be inexhaustible, and in a blink of an eye, it was filled with seven or eight water bags, all of which were hung on the horse's back.

There were only four royal forest guards brought, so Wei Qiu decided to do it himself, pulled out the dagger on his waist, and began to skin Yan Xiong on the spot, and after peeling the skin, he decomposed it, and most of the meat pieces were put into the space bag, otherwise the war horse might not be able to bear the weight, this bear weighed five or six hundred pounds, and no war horse could carry it for a long time.

Looking at the sky, Lin Muyu said: "Find a place to rest, it will be dark soon, and at night, the wolves will come out to forage for food, and I am afraid that it will be very troublesome once we are targeted." ”

"Yes. ”

......

Campsites in the mountains were hard to find, and after sunset, they finally found a habitat in a col, set up tents, lit a campfire, and began to cook dinner.

There are a lot of hunters along the way, hares, deer, falcons and fat fish in the river, everything, just the prey hunted by Wei Qiu weighs nearly a ton, all in the space bag, so the dinner boiled a full five pots of food, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, all there, anyway, it is very important to come out to relax and practice, and eat well.

The fat fish is tender and the falcon meat is delicious, so Lin Muyu ate four big bowls, and then leaned on the edge of the tent to nap with great ambition, while Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi went into the tent to cover the bedding and so on.

At this moment, Wei Qiu looked at the north vigilantly and said, "It seems that someone is coming!"

"I'm afraid that the people who come here from the deep mountains and mountains will not be people. Lin Muyu said with a slight smile.

Sikong Yao laughed: "Why does it sound a little creepy?"

In the darkness, a royal forest guard led a war horse and walked quickly, saying, "Your Royal Highness the King of Qin, there are a few people over there, claiming to be lost merchants, their fire is wet with snow, and they want to come and borrow a fire from us." ”

"Oh, let them come. ”

Lin Muyu chuckled and said, "The robbery is all on our heads, let's see it first." ”
