Zhang Junfeng said: "The military secretary hasn't spoken yet, you can bear with it." ”

They were far away from the car, Shun Yin only listened to a rough idea, but guessed that he must be talking about Ling Hu Tuo, picking up the curtain and glancing ahead, Mu Changzhou sat on the horse with a straight posture, and didn't seem to care at all.

She lowered the curtain and sat upright, and there was no more movement outside, except for the sound of horses' hooves and ruts.

It must not be so simple to leave suddenly, she guessed that there must be other arrangements, it depends on when Mu Changzhou says it.

As time passed, the sun rose, and a few hours had passed, but the speed of the car was not fast, and it was only a dozen miles away.

Suddenly, the body shook, and the speed suddenly became faster. Shunyin helped down the pane before sitting firmly, leaning to the right and listening outward, the speed of the horse outside seemed to be faster, and the sound of hooves suddenly became much faster.

There was a bustling carriage, and she held on to the wall, but before she could look out, the speed of the carriage slowed down again, and then stopped.

Immediately, two knuckles clicked from the window, and Mu Changzhou said through the window, "Come down." ”

Shunyin immediately lifted the curtain and went out, and found that the car was no longer on the official road, and it was a fast drive just now, and now it was parked under a wild slope.

Next to him, Zhang Junfeng and Hu Xiao'er stood far away, took off their coats, and were changing clothes. She immediately avoided her gaze, but turned her head to see that Mu Changzhou had also untied his belt, except for his outer robe, and threw it to an archer.

The archers took his robes, immediately changed into them, quickly climbed a black horse, and drove away with a dozen or so other archers on the official road.

There were only two archers and a few horses left in front of him.

Mu Changzhou changed into a black robe, tied a belt around his waist, and approached quickly, with arm guards already tied in his hands, and glanced at her: "An Qingui will definitely let the patrol soldiers and horses follow us to see our traces, and let them pretend to be us and return along the official road." ”

Shun Yin knew that he would not go back here, and sure enough, there was an arrangement, and he saw that what he was bound was not an ordinary armguard, but an arm with sharp weapons, and a few short arrow clusters pinned to it. This is not an ordinary posture, she already has a number: "Second Brother Mu plans to turn back?" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, her wrist was suddenly held, she was stunned for a moment, looked down and saw Mu Changzhou holding her left wrist, turned her head and took his own armguard from the bow guard, put it on one tightly bunch, and then pulled up her right wrist and put on the other, and then tightly bunched it, quickly and skillfully.

After tying both of her arms, he said, "Now is the real camp." ”

Shunyin withdrew her hand, her fingers unconsciously touched her forearm, the leather arm guard was thick and hard, slightly larger on her arm, and it took several laps to tighten it, almost protecting her entire forearm. Then she looked at herself, and then looked up at him: "No wonder. "No wonder this dress was suddenly prepared for her, it turned out to be a preparation for convenient movement.

Mu Changzhou glanced at her, which was regarded as acquiescence, and beckoned back.

The archers led her horse, which had just been wrapped in cloth.

Shunyin looked at him twice and took the reins. He turned and walked away, leading his horse.

Hu Xiao'er and Zhang Junfeng had already changed their outfits, both of them were dressed in black, with bows and knives, and seeing that Mu Changzhou had gone to lead the horse, they immediately went to him one after the other.

Zhang Junfeng whispered as soon as he approached: "Is it too risky for the military secretary to take his wife with him?" ”

Hu Xiao'er also leaned closer and said: "It's better to let the bow guard send Mrs. to catch up with the team and go back by car, wouldn't it be ...... to take her with you" I was embarrassed to say that it was cumbersome, but they all felt that it was cumbersome in their hearts.

How can there be such a thing and bring his wife with him.

After Hu Xiao'er finished speaking, she glanced at Shunyin a few times, but saw that Mu Changzhou's arm guard was already tied to her arm, and she couldn't help but be surprised, this was really going to be carried.

Mu Changzhou turned over and got on the horse: "I said, I will take my wife with me in the future." You go all the way, and she follows me. ”

"......" Zhang Junfeng and Hu Xiao'er both frowned, glanced at each other, and turned back to get on their horses.

Shunyin sat on the back of the horse, and when he turned his head, he saw that Mu Changzhou had already beaten the horse.

He hung a knife at his waist and a bow in his hand, and said to her, "Follow me all the way." After saying that, he immediately turned back and rode out.

Shunyin pursed her lips, could only pull the reins, and immediately followed.

All the way is a trail, only Mu Changzhou leads the way, and no one speaks.

Several people were wrapped in cloth on their hooves, and the sound of hooves was much quieter. After descending a depression, the horse's speed slowed down, surrounded by barren grass and dry forests, and in the distance were rolling mountains, and it was only about a dozen miles away from that small city, and it was probably about to arrive.

The sun began to tilt, and the light was much lighter.

Mu Changzhou led the way out of the depression and went straight to the mountain range, and soon turned into walking close to the mountain.

The more you walk the road, the more difficult it is to walk, because there is no road at all. Shunyin didn't care, her first reaction was still to observe the surroundings, memorize the terrain, and didn't have the heart to care.

Passing through a wooded forest, there is a low hillside in front of it, and there is no way out.

Mu Changzhou raised his hand, signaled to stop, turned his head and pointed to the right side of Zhang Junfeng, and then pointed to the left side of the two archers behind him.

Zhang Junfeng and Hu Xiao'er immediately beat their horses and went to the right, and the two archers went to the left.

There were no warnings from them on either side, so Mu Changzhou got off the horse, glanced at Shunyin, and walked forward.

Shun Yin dismounted and followed him, and went straight up the cross slope, and I don't know how he found this place, which was all rubble, but it was extremely hidden, and leeward, and there was only a gap on the slope.

He walked over, crouched down, reached out and grabbed her arm, and looked out of the gap.

Shunyin was pulled by him to squat, next to his left side, looking out, only to find that outside the gap was the barracks, set up against the mountain, obviously the barracks he checked yesterday.

The size was only a few hundred, which was enough for the defense of the small city, and she looked at it carefully, and thought it looked normal.

Mu Changzhou turned his head to look at her, took out the brown paper from his bosom and handed it over, approaching her right ear: "Today will definitely take a lot of time, take advantage of the time to eat something now." ”

It was military rations, Shun Yin shook her head, and didn't take it.

Mu Changzhou glanced at the barracks again, closer to her right ear: "This is a small city, although there is a barracks to defend, but there is no need for the governor of Ganzhou to sit in person, there must be hidden, but the scouts are difficult to explore, yesterday I was able to understand the general direction by checking the camp." His voice followed and lowered, "Yin Niang really didn't find anything for me yesterday?" ”

Shun Yin's eyes staring at the camp moved: "Why did Second Brother Mu ask again?" ”

Mu Changzhou's voice penetrated into her right ear: "You can know the defense of Liangzhou from a cursory glance, and you shouldn't get nothing here, unless there is really nothing abnormal here." ”

Shun Yin replied softly: "Maybe Second Brother Mu thought of me too usefully." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden darkness in front of him, it was Mu Changzhou who leaned over, he Huo Ran reached out and grabbed her, and pressed down with his palm against the back of her neck.

Shun Yin suddenly lowered his head, his heart tightened, next to him, he couldn't hear the movement in the camp below, but just now he saw people and horses out of the camp tent, probably soldiers and horses came out to inspect.

Then I realized that I was next to his neck, and when I looked up and saw his jaw, it was almost touched, and I suddenly even breathed lightly.

Fortunately, Mu Changzhou quickly let go.

Shun Yin breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the camp, which was quiet for the time being, but there were still people coming out, turning his head, Mu Changzhou was looking at her, although he let go of his hand, he was still very close.

His gaze fell directly on her face, and he said after a moment: "It seems that Yin Niang still doesn't want to help me in her heart." ”

Shun Yin's eyebrows frowned almost imperceptibly, this is not what the previous "discussion" said when you don't know or simply cooperate. This "discussion" is simply immeasurable, she has no idea about his intentions until now, and only vaguely feels that he can't easily go down this road, and once he sets foot in it, I'm afraid he will never be able to turn back.

Mu Changzhou turned his eyes to look at the camp, still close to her right ear, and suddenly said, "Yin Niang shouldn't have any other choice." ”

Shun Yin was bored in her heart, and whispered: "Second Brother Mu doesn't seem to have a choice, it's that no one can help you in this huge Hexi." ”

There was no speech on his side. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Mu Changzhou staring at the side of the camp with an indifferent and calm face, motionless as if in a state of flux.

She pursed her lips, and even felt that she was talking too seriously, and stared at the camp in a blink of an eye, and soldiers and horses came out of it one after another, and they all went outside the camp, and the camp began to be noisy, as if it had become busy, and I was afraid that I could not stay here any longer.

The figure next to him suddenly moved again, Shun Yin looked over again, Mu Changzhou had already reached out, pulled her to the front of him, raised his hand and handed something to her lips, and stuffed it directly into her mouth.

She bit it, only to find out that it was dried meat rations, staring at him.

Mu Changzhou looked at her, suddenly smiled, his thin lips moved, then got up, pulled her up, and left.

Shun Yin followed him out, and only then did he recall what he had just said with his lips.

He said: I only know that if I fall, Yin Niang will not be better.

CHAPTER XXIV

The mountains and forests became denser, and soon two soft and muffled horses' hooves came, and then stopped.

Shunyin was taken away from the slope by Mu Changzhou and got on his horse to get here, but he was far away from the camp, but he went deeper and deeper into the mountain.

Mu Changzhou was always on her right, extremely close, and this way almost walked close to her.

Shunyin didn't stop looking at the road all the way, and when he arrived here, he also glanced around, and suddenly felt that the terrain in this mountain was extremely complicated, and looked at the road behind him, and remembered it carefully, and turned his head to see Mu Changzhou sitting on a horse and staring quietly into the distance, as if listening to the movements around him.

"They're not far away, and they're always available." He withdrew his gaze and whispered.

It should be saying that Zhang Jun is serving them. Shunyin didn't answer.

Mu Changzhou turned his head to look, his gaze swept over her lips: "It seems that the military rations have been delicious." ”

"......" was stuffed into her mouth, Shunyin naturally could only eat, Thinking of his previous words, his heart was a little stuffy, and he stroked his throat with one hand, The military food he ate was camel jerky, which was dry and hard to swallow.

Mu Changzhou looked around, turned around and pulled the reins over her.

Shunyin looked over, and the horse under him had obediently followed him.

Soon it stopped, and in front of me was a shallow mountain stream, but only two palms wide. Mu Changzhou let go of the reins and glanced towards the stream.

Shun Yin realized that she was going to drink water to relieve her dryness, but she couldn't bear the dryness in her throat, so she got off the horse and walked over.

Squatted down and took two sips of water, finally felt a lot more comfortable, she looked at the reflection of the mountain from the water, raised her head again, scanned the left and right by inertia, and suddenly caught a glimpse of something on the right side of the mountain, looked at it twice, and then went to see Mu Changzhou.

Mu Changzhou sat on the horse and looked at her all the time, almost as soon as she turned her head to look to the right, he followed her gaze, and was already staring there at the moment.

Shun Yin stood up without saying a word, knowing that he had seen it.

There was a looming banner there, similar to the one she had seen on the top of the city before, except that it was blue, very light in color, hidden among the shadows of the trees, almost coinciding with the sky, and it was impossible to see it if it was careless, perhaps it was deliberately hidden that this color was hung.

And if it weren't for the resemblance to the yellow flag, she probably wouldn't have noticed.

Mu Changzhou turned around, and handed her horse reins in his hand: "Get on the horse." ”

Shun Yin knew that he was going over, so he approached to take the reins and sat on the back of the horse.

Sure enough, Mu Changzhou immediately hit the horse over.

Mountains are not as close as flat land, they seem to be very close, but they are often far away, and they are complicated and difficult to walk.

Shun Yin secretly memorized the road as he walked, and when he got to the bottom of the mountain on the right, Mu Changzhou had already dismounted in front of him.

As soon as she followed, her arm guard tightened, and he grabbed her arm and led her forward.

The hill is not high, but it is steep, and there is no place to rely on it. Mu Changzhou drew the horizontal knife from his waist and inserted it into the mountain wall, one hand still holding her arm tightly, leading her up.

Shun Yin was able to climb almost entirely on his strength, and the top was steeper, and she grabbed the protruding rock of the mountain wall, and half of her body relied on the support of his hand to stand firmly.

Mu Changzhou brushed away the hidden shadow of the tree in front of her with one hand, and suddenly the scene on the other side of the mountain came into view-

There was also a camp down there, many times larger than the one they had seen before.

Flags were hung on the sentry posts in the camp, and the soldiers on the platform were scanning all directions.

Shun Yin unconsciously lowered his body behind the shadow of the tree, and just now he had guessed that there must be a camp here, just because the army mostly used flags to give orders, and it was the order flag that was hung.

According to the rough number of the tents below, there were at least three or four thousand people here.

But I'm afraid there is more than one such camp in the mountains.
