Chapter 25 Heading South to Jingzhou
When Xiao Yan woke up again, it was noon on the second day. As soon as he opened his sleepy eyes, he saw Ding Lingguang lying next to the tea case, his beautiful eyes were closed, and his eyebrows were slightly frowned. He reluctantly tapped his finger between Ding Lingguang's eyebrows, and the sleeping woman gradually stretched out, and her face was peaceful.
Seeing this, he smiled slightly. I tried to move my body and try to avoid waking Ding Lingguang. Although the bite wound on his shoulder still hurts faintly, he can save a life, and he already feels that he has won.
Xiao Yan got out of bed slowly, his movements were extremely light, and he put the brocade quilt on Ding Lingguang's body, and then walked out of the tent.
General Xiao was talking with Shen Yue and the others in the main tent, and heard that the young general came to pay homage, and then Xiao Yan came straight to him. Xiao Daocheng hurriedly got up, Su Ri only knew that his nephew had some ability to fly to the sky, and when he saw it today, he learned that he had such a skill, his heart moved, and he was more cordial and enthusiastic, "San Lang needs to raise for some time!" We're talking about killing so many zombies yesterday, and I wonder if they'll be making a comeback for a while. ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly asked Xiao Yan to take a seat, he was careful about the wound, sat upright and narrowed his eyes for a moment, and then spoke, "I didn't know that there was a wise person among them, if so, I'm afraid the general needs to strengthen his precautions." We must find out the culprit behind it! ”
For a moment, there was silence in the main tent. Xiao Yan looked at Shen Yue, and his eyes seemed to be puzzled.
Xiao Daocheng sighed, looked at the map of Jiankang City hanging on the main account, and then said, "I originally had a tiger general under my command, Wang Jingze, you should also know it." Some time ago, I was looking for the source of the zombies, and I brought a group of secret guards to track it down, but there has been no news so far. ”
Xiao Yan's face changed, and Xiao Daocheng continued, "There are indeed people training this group of zombies behind their backs, especially the people in the counties around Jiankang, who are not as good as Jiankang, and they are often bitten, and they will also become zombies after being bitten, so what we want to fight is not a small group, but a steady stream of zombie troops!" ”
Everyone gasped, "General Xiao, can there be a holy will in the family that day?" ”
A dark color crossed Xiao Daocheng's eyes, "The Heavenly Family is young, and they have never experienced such a thing. I have no choice, and I have to ask you for help. ”
Everyone boasted of being famous and upright, and they all promised to help defend the city and protect the safety of the people in Jiangnan, and they went back to send a message to the division for reinforcements.
Xiao Daocheng left Xiao Yan alone, "Uncle, but what's the difficulty?" Xiao Yan had already noticed the strange color in Xiao Daocheng's eyes, and only then did he ask.
Xiao Daocheng untied a token from his waist, "You take my token and go to Jingzhou Mansion." Go to find one of the generals under Shen Youzhi, Chen Xianda, the Taishou of Jingzhou. ”
"But the one-eyed general that the people of the rivers and lakes call him?"
Xiao Daocheng bowed slightly, "Exactly." The Beijing division has experienced a catastrophe, Jingzhou mountains are far away, you have a very heavy task to go, one to mobilize reinforcements, once the Beijing division changes, you can wave the division straight to Jiankang. Second, there is no shortage of soldiers and horses under Shen Youzhi's command, they have crusaded against the barbarians, and requisitioned the people's power, at this time it is a strong army of soldiers and horses, you also need to secretly monitor Shen Youzhi's words and deeds, if he supports the army and respects himself, and refuses to send troops to rescue the Beijing Division, you should be able to cut it first and then play! Third, we have to guard against the rear of the Northern Wei Dynasty, I heard that the border is now about to move, and you need to mediate to strengthen the border. ”
Xiao Yan pondered a little, "Uncle, such a heavy responsibility is willing to entrust me, I will be fortunate not to disgrace my life." It's just that before that, I haven't found the eldest princess and my brother-in-law, the Tao family......"
Xiao Daocheng's face showed a hint of gloom, "Do you know that on the battlefield, the battle is a war that will be won if you don't fight!" Wouldn't it be ridiculous to delay the fighter plane for the sake of these children's affection? ”
Xiao Yan wanted to say something more, but saw the general wave his hand, "Which is more important to save friends or save the world?" If the fighter plane is delayed because of this, San Lang should be punished by military law. ”
He knew that he couldn't justify anything, because he was a descendant of the Xiao family, and since he enjoyed the glory brought by his ancestors, he naturally had to put his family first.
"When do I need to go?"
"At nightfall."
Ding Lingguang woke up and came out of his own tent, looking at all the people in the Dao, and saying goodbye to Xiao Yan. When Xiao Yan saw her, a pair of peach blossom eyes greeted her, and Ding Lingguang smiled back shyly. When Cui Mingxuan saw this scene, he couldn't help but recall Liu Zhen'er's appearance when he played in the hall that day, and he felt a pain in his heart for no reason, and turned his face away and refused to look again.
"It just so happens that you are here, Xiao still has family affairs to entrust, so I can only accompany you here. The mountains are high and the water is long, and there will be a period later. Xiao Yan and Shen Yue, Wei Rui and others arched their hands, and several people also cultivated some tacit understanding in this zombie battle, and everyone knew in their hearts that it would be a vicious battle in the future, and they didn't know if they would be safe and sound in the future.
Ding Lingguang's eyes were shining, and she was very reluctant in her heart, "Your injuries are not yet complete, how can you work day and night?" ”
"It's okay! The eldest husband is home all over the world, and he bothers his little sister. He seemed to be afraid that Ding Lingguang would not believe it, and patted himself hard to show comfort.
Ding Lingguang saw that some of the eyes of everyone were dodging, and some were meaningful, and he didn't dare to say more, but he couldn't spread any gossip and ruin his reputation, so he had to nod and whisper, "Brother Yan, have a good trip." ”
Xiao Yan stepped on his horse, his movements were light, and he was like an immortal. The high-spirited young man sitting in the saddle said to Shen Yue again, "Brother Shen, please ask Brother Shen for the matter of looking for Brother Tao and the princess." If there is any difficulty, you can go to the Lanling Xiao family at any time, but my Xiao family children are not timid and afraid of things. ”
Shen Yue's wind was clear and cloudy, and his figure was long, "You go with peace of mind, I will definitely find them, and I will also send a message to the Xiao family." ”
Although Xiao Yan didn't say it explicitly, his tone was helpless, and he didn't have a travel plan originally, so there was no need to say much, everyone was also thoughtful, presumably Xiao Daocheng arranged other tricky tasks, so he needed to go around as soon as possible regardless of his injuries.
Xiao Yan rode a brown-haired horse and galloped into the vast darkness. Ding Lingguang stood for a long time, and it wasn't until Chen Qingzhi coughed twice that she returned to the camp to take a nap.
The moonlight poured down in the trees, lighting the way forward. Xiao Yan was dressed in feathers, the horses galloped with their hooves, their hair was dyed with a layer of silver frost, and the eyes of the rider were resolute and his face was resolute. Riding a horse all the way, like a ghost in the forest, only the sound of the horse's hooves "da-da-da-" is endless. The wind whistled in his ears, and the trees and mountains beside the road quickly receded in the moonlight. The earth under the horse's hooves trembled slightly, as if in response to his eagerness.
He didn't really see it, there seemed to be two black shadows moving quickly in the canyon not far away, his first reaction was an enemy attack, his right hand was quietly placed on the scabbard hanging from his waist, but one of the black shadows fell to the ground, and he looked back, a group of zombies crawling into various forms were preparing to rush up to the two black shadows.
Xiao Yan immediately "shouted", a few zombies seemed to be dragged by something, and paused stiffly in place, their eyes were almost empty, and they relied more on their sense of smell to perceive the direction, as if they were looking for the source of the sound.
Xiao Yan got closer and saw that it was actually two women, one girl was trying to stop the footsteps of this group of zombies with her petite body, only to hear her shout, "Miss, run!" ”
