Chapter 725: Here Comes the Big Beard (1)
At this time, it was almost the beginning of September, and Snow Wolf City was getting closer and closer. Ning Hua didn't want to delay too much time on the road, so he ordered the troops to march and speed up the pace.
Otherwise, the later autumn comes, the colder it will be in the north, and the slower the march will be.
Ning Zhi has made great progress in the army, in order to fulfill her promise to her uncle, she will never drag down the march, march during the day, and practice hard when she has some free time at night.
Along the way, her martial arts have made some slight progress.
Even Qiu Feng said that he didn't expect the county lord of Zhilan to be so resilient.
They went to the north, and they heard that they would be able to see the Black River tomorrow!
Along the Black River, all the way to the north, you can see the Black Elm Forest, and soon the Snow Wolf City will also arrive.
"In the past few days and nights, we must strictly patrol, three people in a shift, and we can't ignore it." Ning Hua said when he rested in the evening.
"The sooner you get to Snow Wolf City, the more nervous my uncle seems to be." Ning Zhi said.
"Because it's almost time to get to the Black Elm Forest!" Ah Wolf is now familiar with everyone, and he said slowly, "There are many robbers in the Black Elm Forest, and they ride high horses and carry large knives, and they often rob passing caravans. ”
"Is it possible that those robbers dare to rob my uncle's army?" Ning Zhi said.
"I don't dare, General Ning is very famous in the north, but just in case, that's why he is so cautious." The Ning family army is famous in Snow Wolf City, and no robber dares to touch the Ning family army.
"I forgive them, and they don't dare to rob the Ning family's army."
"Zhi'er, you just follow us these days, don't run around." Xia Yu said.
"I know."
The next day, they continued to set off, and by noon, Ning Zhi saw the legendary Black River.
The water of the Black River is not black, but the water looks extremely deep, the depth is bottomless, most of the stones by the river are also black, the water flow is quite rapid, and most of the people who fall into the water have no possibility of survival, so it is named the Black River.
"If you go more than ten miles ahead, you can see the Black Elm Forest, and through the outer edge of the Black Elm Forest, you can see the Snow Wolf City."
Snow Wolf City, Ning Zhi has been fascinated for a long time, her brother has been in Snow Wolf City since he was a child, and she has heard Snow Wolf City countless times since she was a child, and she is very fascinated.
In the afternoon, they really walked to the black elm forest, and the black river flowed through the black elm forest, and the forest was full of tall broad-leaved elm forests, and from a distance, the forest was full of green bushes, and it was indeed pitch black.
"It's the first time I've seen such a tall tree!" Ning Zhi said.
"In the far west and in the far north, there are taller and thicker trees." A wolf said.
"I'm going to see it later." Ning Zhi said.
It stands to reason that they should have passed through the edge of the Black Elm Forest overnight, and that they would be able to reach Snow Wolf City early tomorrow morning.
But Ning Hua ordered to rest and recuperate, and set off early tomorrow morning.
"Didn't you say that Snow Wolf City was close? Why don't we travel overnight! Ning Zhi said.
"Didn't you say that there were robbers in the Black Elm Forest? It's too dangerous to enter the Black Elm Forest at night! Rong Fei said, "It must be better to rest all night and then set off." ”
When she rested at night, Ning Zhi couldn't sleep a little, so she talked to Qiu Feng.
"Sister Qiufeng, when you arrive in Snow Wolf City, will you accompany me to the Black Elm Forest?"
"What are you doing in the Black Elm Forest?"
"I once heard from my grandmother that my uncle and several uncles died in the black elm forest, and I wanted to see where they were buried!" Ning Zhi whispered.
"Haven't you heard that there are a lot of robbers in the woods today? Let's wait until the snow wolf arrives! ”
Qiu Feng knew that Ning Zhi was really natural, and he didn't want to hit her, so he had to say so.
Ning Zhi couldn't sleep, so she finally fell asleep and had another night of dreams.
In the dream, there was a pair of green eyes staring at her, she was scared to wake up, and when she woke up, it was dark, and everyone was already packing up and preparing to go.
"We're leaving." The autumn breeze is packing up.
"Oh." Ning Zhi also sorted out their bags together, and they ate some dry food and set off.
Along the Black River, they finally reached the outer edge of the Black Elm Forest, and after passing through the outer edge of the Black Elm Forest, they arrived at Snow Wolf City.
After entering the Black Yulin, the march was still not chaotic at all, the Ning family army was extremely familiar with this road, and had walked countless times, as long as they followed the marching troops, they would not make mistakes.
Ning Zhi is an infantryman, she walked with Qiu Feng Xia Yu Rong Fei, and the more she entered the forest, the more uneasy she became.
"I feel like eyes are watching me." Ning Zhi said.
Qiu Feng and Rong Fei are strong in martial arts, and they also feel that there are people in the forest.
This forest is full of towering trees, and the forest is full of low bushes, and it is even more clammy and cold when you enter the forest, and the shade is a little seeping.
If there are people hidden in the woods, it is difficult to detect them with the naked eye.
"Zhi'er, just follow us closely." Autumn Wind said.
"I know."
As he was talking, he heard someone shouting, the snow wolf is coming!
The snow wolves of the north are fearful, and they are usually found in the snow wolf swamps, but they are also often found in the black elm forests.
Rong Fei and the others just heard someone screaming, and sure enough, they saw several wolves that were taller than ordinary wolves slowly walking out of the forest.
"The wolf's eyes are green, the eyes of my dreams." Ning Zhi exclaimed.
"Zhi'er, don't panic, just follow the big army." Autumn Wind Channel.
"Don't move in formation, keep going." The vanguard officer said loudly.
Those snow wolves haunted the woods, and kept surrounding the sides of the marching procession, but they didn't make a move, just watched the marching procession move forward.
"Whoa, whoa!"
They heard several more excited shouts of men, followed by the sound of horses' hooves.
The sound of horses' hooves became heavier and heavier, and it was always on both sides of the Ning family's army shape.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of tall and strong men on tall horses emerged from the woods, each with a large knife in their hands, laughing and shouting from time to time.
From among the sturdy robbers, I saw a man riding a tall horse out slowly. I saw that he had thick black hair, which was braided and tied up.
His face was full of beard, and he couldn't see his facial features, but he had a pair of blue eyes, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, and he was imposing on a horse.
"It's a beard!" The wolf recognized it.
"Who's the beard?"
"The most powerful bandit in the Black Elm Forest in recent years." Ah Wolf said, "In the past few years, he has grown extremely fast, and no one can match him in the Black Elm Forest. ”
Rong Fei and Qiu Feng both looked at the man, and they couldn't help but be vigilant.
"Don't move in formation, keep going." The vanguard shouted.
"These wolves are going to bite us!" Suddenly an infantryman screamed, and when he saw a wolf next to him, he swung his knife and slashed it.
The wolf immediately bit him, and as soon as the wolf moved, all the wolves swarmed up.
Rong Fei and Qiu Feng took the front and went to open those wolves.
And the infantry in the back row raised their knives and stabbed back!
"Light the fire, fire the arrows." The cavalry officer behind shouted loudly, and a platoon of cavalry lit the arrow target and shot at the snow wolf in unison.
The snow wolf was afraid of fire, and those cavalry officers were in danger, shooting a row of rockets, which had already ignited the next row.
