The scouts probably didn't expect her to give an order, and they all raised their eyes to look at Mu Changzhou.

Mu Changzhou bowed his head: "Spread out and rest, and do what Mrs. said in the middle of the night." ”

The scouts immediately clenched their fists and led the order to retreat.

Everyone scattered far away, and Mu Changzhou signaled the bow guard to come closer, handed over the reins of the horse, glanced at Shunyin, and walked forward.

Shunyin saw his eyes, let go of the reins, and followed.

Mu Changzhou still had a horizontal knife on his waist, his left arm was holding a bow, and he carried an arrow behind his shoulder, and walked into the deserted high house in the middle in a few steps.

Shun Yin followed, covering his mouth and nose first, there was probably no one in it for too long, the dust was very heavy, it was dim, there were only a few loopholes on the top, and the moonlight penetrated through, and he could barely see his long figure walking in front.

Mu Changzhou walked around the room and glanced around before he looked out and said, "Come in." ”

Immediately the archers came in, spread a thick blanket of felt cloth on the open space leaning against the wall, and withdrew.

Mu Changzhou took off the quiver at this time, turned his face to Shunyin, held the bow in one hand, and nodded on the thick blanket: "Come and rest." ”

Shunyin looked around again, walked over, sat down on the thick blanket, suddenly remembered, and looked up at him: "Where are you ......?"

The right side was dark, and her shoulder was gently touched, and Mu Changzhou had already sat down beside her and looked over: "What?" ”

Shun Yin just wanted to ask him where he was resting, but he really asked too much, and turned his eyes: "It's nothing." ”

A ray of moonlight shone on his cross-legged lap, and his leg tightened in a slender and smooth line right next to her. Shunyin's gaze just fell there, and when he turned again, he caught a glimpse of him removing the saber at his waist with one hand, and his fingers were on the belt buckle, and as soon as he loosened it, he pulled it out and put it aside.

Her eyes flickered, and she turned her head away.

Mu Changzhou was just to relax when he was resting, and turned his head to catch a glimpse of her turning her face away, revealing only a slender back of her neck. She was wearing a men's round-necked robe, and her black hair was neatly tied, and at this moment, the moonlight leaking from the top of her head was unobstructed on the back of her neck, and it was white and piercing. He glanced at it several times and asked in a low voice, "Has Yin Niang ever come out like this before?" ”

Shunyin suddenly heard him ask, glanced at him, remembered the past, and said a lot softer: "Yes." ”

"With whom?" He asked again.

Shunyin was silent.

Mu Changzhou looked at her: "Don't want to say? ”

Shun Yin opened her lips: "Naturally, it's a family member." ”

Mu Changzhou let out a "hmm" and said slowly: "It can only be with the family." ”

Shun Yin listened to his tone, and suddenly remembered that they are now husband and wife, and they are also a family, and there was a slight subtlety in her heart, and she always felt that he was a little deliberate.

"Sleep." Mu Changzhou suddenly said, glancing at the earthen wall behind him, "It's dirty here, so I just sit and sleep." ”

Shunyin saw that he was still sitting upright, and he was also sitting upright, not leaning against the wall: "I'll just take a break." ”

Mu Changzhou put one hand on the knife at his side, and his voice was warm: "It's okay, you can sleep peacefully." ”

Shun Yin listened to his tone of steadfastness before closing his eyes.

It's really not a good place to rest, and I don't know how long it took to barely fall asleep.

In a daze, Shunyin had a dream, and the shadows in the dream were all family members, as if they had returned to many years ago, on the way out, they were all family members.

She swayed, fell, and crashed into a pair of arms, where she was caught steadily, one hand holding her head. She moved, only to feel that the other party's arm was strong, and she couldn't guess whether it was her father or her eldest brother.

But immediately after, there was a sharp whistle, which just started, but stopped abruptly, as if a hand covered her right ear in time.

She couldn't help but move again, her face rubbed against the slightly cool brocade cloth, rubbing a slight sound, vaguely, she felt that she was lying on someone's lap, her right ear was very heavy, always covering one hand, she raised her hand to pull, grabbed a few fingers, failed to tear it away, her hand was suddenly grabbed, and a laugh was heard in her ears, low and deep, it seemed to be Mu Changzhou's voice......

Shunyin opened his eyes, and he was stunned to find himself lying on a thick blanket, facing the earthen wall of an empty abandoned house, and then remembered where he was.

There was no one around, she sat up, turned her head to look out, and didn't see Mu Changzhou.

Beside the door were water bladders and thick brown paper, apparently prepared with clean water and dry food.

Shunyin calmed down, got up and went over, took the water bladder, glanced out the door, was quiet all around, didn't see anyone else, went out, and washed behind a half-collapsed earthen wall.

After cleaning and eating some more things, all of them were cleaned up, Shun Yin walked out, only to see two archers. The two of them stood guard beside the horses not far away, guarding the high house where she was, facing into the distance.

She looked up at the sky, it was gloomy today, and the wind was very strong, which was somewhat unusual. When she retracted her gaze, her face turned away, and when she looked out, she saw Mu Changzhou coming from a distance.

His robe was tightly tied, he had worn a sword and a bow, and only the hem of his shirt was tucked at his waist, and he was wrinkled badly.

Shun Yin watched him approach: "What about the others?" ”

Mu Changzhou tore off the hem of his clothes and flicked it: "Too many people will attract attention, I have ordered them to retreat to the designated place and wait for answers." After speaking, he looked her up and down, as if to see how she slept.

Shun Yin met his gaze and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”

Mu Changzhou smiled, didn't answer, looked up at the sky, and swept into the dark distance, smiled, and said to the bow guard: "Lead Madame's horse." ”

After saying that, he walked over a few steps, led his horse to him, and as soon as he approached, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Shunyin, and then held her waist with both hands, and sent her to the horse's back with a force.

Shunyin was stunned, but he moved too fast, and when he reacted, he was already sitting sideways on the horse.

Mu Changzhou turned over and got on the horse, lowered her head with one hand, and rode away.

Shunyin's forehead hit his chest, and before he could ask what was wrong, the next moment, he felt a strong wind howling, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look, and he covered his eyes.

"Don't look, it's wind and sand." He quickly finished and shut up.

The horse galloped out, followed by the fast horse of the archers, and the sound of hooves was interrupted by the sudden wind.

Shunyin only felt that her whole body was blown and shaking, followed by a burst of sand and dust on her head and face, she immediately closed her eyes, and felt that the back of her neck and the side of her face were scraped by sand.

The back of her head sank, it was one of Mu Changzhou's arms that came over, she didn't feel tight, her eyes were closed, she felt deeper, her breathing was suffocated into his chest, and then the whirring wind in her right ear stopped, and it was blocked by a ring of his arm.

The horse ran out as if skillfully dodging, and soon a violent gust of wind and sand swept over, leaving only the strong wind to remain strong.

Mu Changzhou spoke again, and his voice sounded above her head: "Take advantage of now, remember the terrain all the way, this is also the key to defense." ”

The horse's speed slowed down slightly, and Shun Yin felt that his arm was loose, so he opened his eyes and scanned the sides, while secretly changing his breath, he suddenly reacted: "How does Second Brother Mu know that I can remember?" ”

Mu Changzhou laughed, his chest vibrating, and it was in her ear: "If you weren't stronger than others, how did you bring me out of that mountain last time?" ”

Shunyin frowned, this person was too fine, glanced around, and deliberately said, "Maybe it's just luck." ”

The horse stepped onto the slope and jerked.

His arm was suddenly grabbed by him, and she suddenly leaned forward, crashed into his chest, hugged his waist, hugged him tightly, and was stunned.

Mu Changzhou pressed her arm with one hand, looked at the road ahead, lowered his head and said in her ear: "If you fall, you won't have such good luck." ”

CHAPTER XXXIII

By the time the gale had completely subsided, it was almost evening, and the vault was still gloomy, and the sky was half yellow and half dark.

A few fast horses stopped one after another, and it was a vast wilderness, surrounded by bald hills and barren hills, and only a ruined and collapsed stone pagoda stood nearby.

Shun Yin finally sat up right on the horse, let go of the arm that hugged Mu Changzhou's waist, and hugged him for too long, his arm was already a little numb, and his side face had been against his chest, as if he was also rubbing hot between his clothes.

Mu Changzhou stepped off the horse first and stretched out his hand to her.

Shunyin steadied herself and jumped down, but the road was bumpy for too long, and she didn't stop for a moment, her legs were numb, her body shook, and she almost fell soft, but she still helped him on the arm.

Mu Changzhou supported her to stand firmly, withdrew his hand, and smiled on his lips.

There were also two archers, and Shun Yin caught a glimpse of his smile, his face calm, but his eyes drifted for a moment.

Mu Changzhou held the bow in his hand, turned his head to look into the distance, listened to the movement, and suddenly said: "Wait a while, this is also a scheduled rendezvous, or there is a scout to report the news." ”

Shun Yin wanted to say how could it be so fast, but then thought that the passage of such a big wind and sand early in the morning happened to be the best time to transmit information, even if the movement was bigger, it would not necessarily attract attention, maybe it could really send news.

As if in response to her conjecture, within a moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near.

Shunyin didn't hear it at first, but saw that Mu Changzhou and the two archers were looking into the distance at the same time, and when they followed, they found that there were two of them.

The two men and the two horses galloped to the front, stopped in front of them, and hugged their fists before they got off the horse.

Mu Changzhou said: "Report." ”

The scout at the head said: "According to the instructions of the lady, the horse quickly took a shortcut to the river, and the two people from Hezhou were sent across the river to explore in the direction of Qinzhou, and they reported quickly, and the wind and sand just passed and raised the order flag to send back the news, suspected that there were traces of the movement of soldiers and horses, and the direction of Hezhou to Kuozhou, I don't know the details." ”

Now that the troops have been mobilized, it is not a trivial matter, no wonder Feng Wujian is so eager to send a letter.

Shun Yin looked at Mu Changzhou, his eyes were cold, only his face was as usual, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

She thought for a moment and looked at the two scouts: "They have the intention to take precautions, although you took advantage of the weather to send back the news in time, but the movement is not small, you should still be cautious, it is best to retreat first." ”

Mu Changzhou nodded and ordered: "Let them all return, there is no need to explore again for the time being." People are sleepy and tired, so they should rest in time. ”

The two scouts clenched their fists and hurried away.

Mu Changzhou walked slowly and repeated slowly: "The traces of the movement of soldiers and horses can be detected, which means that the transfer of troops has not been long. Ten days ago, the generals of Kuozhou went to Hezhou, and they should have been before, and then Hezhou transferred troops to Kuozhou. ”

Shun Yin answered: "So the purpose of the generals of Kuozhou entering Hezhou should be to let Hezhou transfer troops." ”

Mu Changzhou stopped and looked at her.

Shun Yin sorted out the clue in his heart, and then said: "If the troops are transferred to Kuozhou, and they don't want to be discovered, they must stick to the canyon of the two states, then they will be closer to us." ”

Mu Changzhou pointed his finger and nodded: "Wouldn't it be better, it will save us from rushing a long way." ”

Shun Yin furrowed her eyebrows and looked at him: "Our scouts have all converged, and it may be more troublesome to get more news." ”

Mu Changzhou looked at her for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Then let them send it themselves." After saying that, he waved at the two archers and ordered to continue on the road immediately......

As soon as the sky was bright, a lonely mountain cliff stretched out in the distance like a curtain barrier, almost no greenery, only gravel and sand everywhere, and when the wind passed, it raised a puff of dust and smoke.

A few horses came slowly, almost silently.

Mu Changzhou got off the horse first and bowed his head backwards.

Shunyin followed and got off the horse, looked around, the sky was not completely bright, and everything was still like a layer of green veil.

Two archers had already mounted their horses and led their horses to hide nearby.

Mu Changzhou looked around four times, listened to the movement again, and walked forward, always leading the way on the right front side.

Shun Yin followed him forward, this vicinity is not open, the terrain is high and low, all are undulating slopes, and behind the curtain barrier-like mountains in the distance, there is a deep canyon.

It didn't stop overnight, just to rush here, maybe it was very close to the soldiers and horses mobilized from Hezhou.

After about a few dozen steps, Mu Changzhou stopped, turned his head and whispered: "We don't have much time, you wait and see the terrain, and I will defend you." ”

Shunyin immediately wanted to go to the side.

Mu Changzhou suddenly said again: "Don't stay too far away from me." ”
