Chic a river east passing water, why poetry and wine sigh for the passing years.

Waking up from the rickety horse, Jiang Xiaoyao heard someone beside him chanting these two lines of poetry.

There was a moment of dazedness, and then an instant of soberness: Crossing over, at this moment, I am Jiang Xiaoxiao - the first-class protector of the Great Qi State, the daughter of the great general Jiang Zonghan.

Jiang Yaoyao looked at the surrounding scenery: the long wind was thousands of miles, and the yellow sand was angrily rolling. There are three or two lonely hongs in the sky, a few slight clouds, and a group of scenery.

Looking at the man beside him who was chanting poetry, it was the scout Xiao Qi who was familiar with him. Jiang Yaoyao knew that his family had lived by the river for generations, so he said: "Little Seventh Brother, are you homesick again?" ”

Xiao Qi didn't speak, but Wu Chang, who was riding on the other side of Jiang Yaoyao, said: "Miss Jiang, since you wrote these two poems to Xiao Qi, he has often recited them, and he really likes them. ”

Xiao Qi was thin, dexterous and capable, and a simple smile appeared on his dark face.

Xiao Qi looked at the clouds in the sky, his eyes were far away, and he whispered: "Blessings and misfortunes must always be happy in suffering......

"Brother Pumpkin......" Jiang Yaoyao turned his head to face Wu Chang.

That Wu Chang's surname is Nan, short and stocky, and Jiang Yaoyao and Xiao Qi both call him "Brother Pumpkin".

"Brother Pumpkin," Jiang Yaoyao had palpitations when he recalled the previous incident, "We were ambushed and scattered by the Western Wei people, why didn't the Western Wei people take advantage of the victory to pursue, but let us leave?" ”

Wu Chang looked at Jiang Yaoyao with some surprise: "Miss Jiang, have you forgotten?" Just now, a thunder in the hand of the Western Wei people was shot down by you with an arrow, killing the opponent's main general, and the Western Wei people were in chaos. In this way, we have to get out and have this moment of rest. ”

Jiang Yaoyao lowered his head and chuckled: "I was stunned by the thunder just now, and I don't remember anything." ”

Wu Chang smiled slightly: "If it weren't for this moment of peace, how could Xiao Qi have the heart to recite poetry?" ”

Xiao Qi smiled, but did not speak.

Thinking of the matter, Jiang Yaoyao felt worried.

"Brother Pumpkin, the general is still in Peicheng now, we were going to deliver a letter to him, but we didn't want to get out of the city and lay an ambush soon after. Do you continue to deliver the letter now, or hurry back to the border city? ”

Wu Chang's eyes darkened: "In the right battle, there are less than fifty people left in our team of five hundred people, and the rest don't know how, and if we continue to deliver letters, we are afraid that we will encounter an ambush." ”

"Although there is no trace of the pursuers now, the Western Wei people are superb in equestrianism, and I am afraid that they will be able to catch up in a while, so let's go back to the border city first."

Jiang Yaoyao raised his eyes and looked into the distance, the winter noon outside the plug, the sun was warm, and the sand was flying, which seemed ordinary.

Jiang Yaoyao narrowed her eyes slightly, but saw that the dust and sand seemed to be different from usual.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the ground was exposed with dry and loose sand and dust.

Jiang Yaoyao's face changed, not good, this is a strong sandstorm coming!

"Pumpkin." Jiang Yaoyao hurriedly said, "Is there a shelter nearby?" The wind and sand are coming, and we have to hide quickly. ”

Wu Chang was a little hesitant, this gust of wind was a little strong, and it could still withstand it, so he stopped his horse and avoided at this time, didn't he sit and wait for the Western Wei people to catch up?

Xiao Qi's eyesight is outstanding, and after staring into the distance, he replied: "Miss Jiang, there is a grotto not far from the left front!" ”

Jiang Yaoyao said happily: "Very good! Hurry up! ”

Wu Chang looked back, and the chasing Western Wei cavalry had already shown a few traces in the distance.

Hiding in the cave at this moment, is it waiting for the Western Wei people to come to the urn to catch turtles?

Seeing that Wu Chang hesitated, Jiang Yaoyao hurriedly said while riding his horse: "Brother Pumpkin, have you ever heard of the haze?" ”

Wu Chang's heart was awe-inspiring, at this moment, there was a gust of wind, could there be a strong wind haze that could bury people under the sand?

Although he had not experienced it personally, Wu Chang had heard from the veteran that this harm was extremely dangerous.

No longer hesitating at the moment, Wu Chang immediately ordered everyone to follow Xiao Qi forward and rush to the grotto.

There are still more than ten zhang away from the grotto, and the wind is already so strong that it is difficult to walk an inch. The sky was dark, and the sand and stones were flying.

The horses staggered in place.

The sound of men and horses chasing behind could be heard approaching. The shadow is sufficient, and you can see the shadow of a group of Western Wei people coming on horseback.

Jiang Yaoyao jumped off his horse and shouted, "Get off the horse and enter the grotto quickly." ”

Everyone hurriedly dismounted and dragged their horses towards the grotto.

Wu Chang looked back, and there were still people and horses far away, so he shouted: "Old Meng, it's not too fast!" ”

"Coming soon!" Lao Meng came slowly with the reins.

Seeing this, Wu Chang hurriedly ran over and helped him lead the horse into the grotto.

By the time Wu Chang and Lao Meng tied their horses, it was already completely dark.

The wind and sand swept the sky and the earth, and everyone was shocked.

When Jiang Yaoyao entered the grotto, he had already seen the direction of several big stones, and although it was pitch black now, he was in an orderly manner, and ordered people to move the big stones quickly to block the entrance of the cave.

At first, you can still hear the shouts of the Western Wei people approaching Zhangyu, then they are surprised and screaming, and then they are silent.

Outside the grotto, there is only the ghostly wind and clouds between heaven and earth, and the sand waves are rushing, endless, endless!

Everyone in the grotto was afraid. In the dark, Wu Chang rejoiced: "Fortunately, Miss Jiang saw the opportunity in time, so we can avoid the disaster here." ”

Scout Xiao Qi admired even more: "Miss Jiang, how did you know that there would be such a dangerous haze?" ”

Jiang Yaoyao sighed in her heart: "After all, I am a modern person who has traveled through, and I still know the ins and outs of some sandstorms, so I can make a decision and make a choice immediately." It's just that I can't say all about it. ”

After thinking about it, Jiang Yaoyao said: "There is a record in the Book of Han that 'the wind rises from the northwest, the clouds are red and yellow, and the loess dust that falls on the ground is also', and I learned from this. ”

When the people heard this, they praised his erudition.

The sound of the wind outside the grotto gradually stopped, and a little light penetrated through the gap between the big stone and the cave entrance. The people in the grotto were able to see their companions clearly.

Wu Chang asked, "Miss Jiang, this haze is over, right?" Can we get out? ”

Jiang Yaoyao nodded and said, "Go and move the stone away." ”

The people led their horses out of the grotto, but they saw that the black clouds receded, and the sky was as clear as a wash. The wind stops and the sand stops, and the clouds roll up. There is the joy of being reborn as a human being.

Someone doubted: "What about the Western Wei people who came after them?" ”

Jiang Yaoyao said indifferently: "At this moment, it should be under the wind and sand......

Everyone was shocked, and couldn't help but look back at the grotto where they were hiding just now.

Jiang Yaoyao said to everyone: "We have to thank Little Seventh Brother, if he hadn't found a grotto here, he would have known that the haze was coming, and there was nothing he could do." ”

Everyone looked at the scout Xiao Qi with gratitude, Xiao Qi touched his head, a little embarrassed, and smiled innocently.

Jiang Yaoyao got on his horse and said loudly to everyone: "Take advantage of the temporary rest of the wind and sand, let's hurry back to the border city, it is safest at this moment." ”

The crowd shouted and got on their horses and galloped away.

A cannon rang out, and Jiang Yaoyao, who was standing in a corner of the city tower, instantly came back to his senses.

It was yesterday to escape the haze and the pursuit of the Western Wei people and return to the border city safely.

At this moment, the flag is raging, and the fierce battle is in full swing.

This is the border city at the junction of the Great Qi State and the Western Wei Dynasty, and the Western Wei army is pressing the border, and the border city is already in danger.

Jiang Yaoyao looked at General Shui in the crowd, he was the most powerful subordinate of General Jiang Zonghan.

At this moment, his expression was serious, and he was instructing his subordinates on how to resist the enemy.

When he was nervous, he saw the scout Xiao Qi come to report: "General Shui, the general's letter has arrived!" ”

General Shui looked at the carrier pigeon in his hand, and was immediately overjoyed, and asked, "But you sent the information about the attack of the Western Wei Dynasty?" ”

Xiao Qi shook his head: "We were intercepted by the Western Wei people and failed to deliver the letter." ”

Then he opened the secret letter, "The general said in the letter that he had been ambushed on the way to Peicheng and had been caught in a bitter battle. ”

"Now the border city and Peicheng are in an emergency, if these two cities are broken, the enemy army can drive straight into it, and point directly at my Great Qi Imperial City Jidu."

"The general ordered, please send someone back to Jidu to report to the saint as soon as possible, asking for reinforcements!"

General Shui pondered for a moment and looked at the soldiers who were fighting bravely to kill the enemy: "Where are Zhang Yi and Li Shan?" ”

Someone replied: "All of them have been martyred." ”

Looking at the helpless and silent General Shui, and then looking at the bloody scenes of those who were fighting bravely against the enemy, all this instantly ignited the pride in Jiang Yaoyao's heart.

"General Shui, please give me a team of men, Jiang Yaoyao asks to return to Jidu to report the news!"

Looking at Jiang Yaoyao's extremely determined look, her active invitation to fight surprised General Shui, but there was also a trace of worry in her heart.

If Jiang Yaoyao had a mistake, how would he explain it to the general?

Jiang Yaoyao saw that General Shui was still hesitating, so he said loudly: "General Shui, if my father is here, he will definitely agree!" ”

Scout Xiao Qi also said urgently: "General Shui, we can't delay any longer, while we have just repelled a wave of enemy attacks, this is a good time to break out of the city." ”

General Shui then said decisively: "Jiang Yaoyao obeys the order!" I ordered you to take sixty cavalry, return to Jidu quickly, and ask for help. ”

Jiang Yaoyao said loudly: "Jiang Yaoyao will do his best to live up to his mission. ”

General Shui glanced at Jiang Yaoyao, who was determined, and said softly, "Go ahead." Kids, be careful on the road. ”

Jiang Yaoyao did not hesitate, turned around and took the war horse brought by the sergeant, flew on the horse, and sixty warriors followed.

The city gate opened quietly, and Yu immediately looked back at the border city, Jiang Yaoyao's eyes were deep. A group of soldiers saw them off.

Yin Yin's gaze, strong and beautiful. When I return, the mountains and rivers will be clear.
