The New Year is approaching, the imperial capital is still full of flowers, and the north has already been covered with wind and snow.

Seven days ago, according to Link's order, Hu worried, and their gift-giving army set out for Qingzhou.

According to the past practice, Hu You's gift-giving troops would usually rush back to Yangcheng, the headquarters of the Blizzard Legion in Qingzhou, before the year, and Sumendal, the leader of the Blizzard Legion, would be there to hold a welcome reception. The chief officer in charge of giving gifts will also receive the Governor token issued by Sumatar himself at the reception.

Since the return journey is upstream, the travel time is more than twice as long as when it comes, and in case of heavy rain, it is even more difficult to calculate. So Link, who was in a hurry to return, did not choose the water route again, but switched to the land route.

Because there were no more bulky big iron cages on the return trip, Hu Wu walked relatively easily at first. However, Hu Wei is an infantry after all, and the infantry has no horses, and they can't compare to the cavalry of Koku. After seven days of walking, they were honest one by one. Every day, except for the rush, no one is in the mood to talk and chat, and they don't want to do anything except sleep.

But even so, Link was still very dissatisfied with the speed of the march. Because he wanted to rush back as soon as possible, and took advantage of the New Year's Pass, when the bigwigs in the various armies gathered, he visited them, sent the things that should be sent, and pulled the relationship that should be pulled.

Although Link has a good sister to support him, if he wants to mix well, he has to look at the faces of these big guys. He can't run away from the position of governor, but this is the location of the station yet. If you are transferred to a poor place, there will be no oil and water to fish.

So even though they were already on their way twice as fast as they were on their usual march, Link still felt that this speed was too slow. He can't wait to fly to Yangcheng now.

On this day, Hu Wei and they came to Dingsi in Mengzhou, which is full of mountains, the terrain is very dangerous, and the road is very difficult to walk. Often one side is against the mountain, and the other side is a cliff. According to the original route of the march, it should not have passed through here, but took the road three slopes to cross the slope, and then went upstream along the Jiuzhou River to enter An Dong.

However, Link felt that this march was too slow, and temporarily ordered to cross the slope from Dingsi to enter Andong, so that he could save two days without going through the third slope. Unbeknownst to Link, his temporary change almost cost him his life.

"It's a very dangerous road, you see, Koku and they don't even dare to ride a horse. Zhu Daneng pointed to the cavalry team walking in front and said.

Hou San, as always, raised the bar with Zhu Daneng: "Hmph, that's because they are timid." What is dangerous about this kind of road, it is rare and strange. When I used to hunt in the mountains, the roads I walked were really dangerous, and I scared you to death when I said it. ”

"Yo yo yo, you just blow it, blow the cow to death, and you will be a cow." The brothers said no. Hahehe"

Zhu Daneng's words made everyone laugh.

Hou San was unconvinced and said: "What is blowing, I will take you to see it when I have a chance in the future, you will know, if you dare to take that kind of road, I can call you your father." ”

"Why is it so troublesome, didn't you say that Koku is timid? If you have the ability, you can get on the horse and take two steps to show us all. It's not too far, walk fifty meters, and I'll call you Daddy right away. ”

Zhu Daneng dared to say this only because he saw that Hou San couldn't ride a horse. To be honest, Zhu Daneng also admires Hou San's ability to go to the house and go to the tree. He and Hou San quarreled, more just for fun. Of course, after fighting for so long, this has become a habit.

"I, you" Hou San was generalized, and he was speechless for a while.

"Stop arguing, I don't think something is right. Hu Wei shouted.

As soon as Hu Wei drank this, the voices in the team disappeared at once. In the past few months, Hu Wei has finally established a certain prestige for himself with soft or hard skills. These soldiers under his command can basically be controlled.

Zhu Daneng looked around vigilantly: "Captain, what's the matter, it's so difficult that there is an enemy situation." ”

Hu Wei pointed to the flocks of dragonflies on his head and said, "No, you look at the dragonflies in the sky." ”

Zhu Daneng looked at it for a while and said, "It's very ordinary, is there anything special?"

Hou San replied on the side: "Your eyes can see something." These dragonflies are noticeably larger than those in other places. ”

Hu Wei shook his head and said, "It's not a big problem, have you noticed that these dragonflies are flying lower and lower." ”

Hou San said casually: "Maybe they are tired of flying." ”

"Captain, did you find anything? Why do these dragonflies fly more and more to the bottom? Larley leaned in. He was the most attentive in the team. He had noticed that there were many more dragonflies today than before, but he didn't associate it with anything else.

Hu Wei said: "You help me take a closer look at whether these dragonflies are preying." Because this world is different from the original world, Hu Wei is still a little unsure of the conjecture in his heart.

"Yes, Captain," said Larley, those dragonflies are indeed prey. What's wrong with that?"

Hou San also shouted: "Yes, yes, I also saw it, it is." ”

Hu Wei shook his head and said, "Have any of you walked this road before, and how long will it take to get out of this dangerous section ahead." ”

"I've walked it once before, and at my current pace, I'll have at least three or four hours to go. ”

An anxious look appeared on Hu Wei's face: "Aguda, are you sure that you will have to go for so long?"

Aguda said affirmatively: "Of course, if you go a little further ahead, you will reach a line of sky, which is even more dangerous than here." If an hour can pass, it will be considered fast. In addition to having longer hands than ordinary people, Aguda also has one of his specialties. No matter what road he had, as long as he walked it once, he could keep it firmly in his mind, and he would never forget it for many years.

"No, I must immediately inform General Link and ask him to order him to go back, I hope it is still in a hurry. Hu Wei said that he stopped and was about to walk back.

They and one of the Koku cavalry walked in front, and Link's palanquin was about 500 meters behind them.

Zhu Daneng stopped Hu Wei and asked, "Captain, don't worry, can you tell us first, what happened." ”

"Yes, Captain, if you go like this, I won't listen to you. ”

Now everyone knew that Link was in a hurry, and it was difficult to let him go back.

"It's going to rain, it's going to rain, if we don't hurry, if we don't get it right, we're all going to die here. ”

"It's raining, no, this sun is so poisonous, how can it rain. Otto shouted.

Hu Wei was a little angry, and couldn't help scolding: "You know a fart, dragonflies hunt in the bottom air because the air pressure is low before the rain, and insects mostly float in the bottom air." And there are significantly more dragonflies today than in previous days, and there will be heavy rain coming tomorrow. ”

"Captain, even if it's going to rain, it's not as strict as you say, right?"

"Yan zhòng, do you know what Yan zhòng is? Look at these mountains, there is not even a tree. Once washed away by a torrential rain and a mudslide is formed, the power is more terrible than a salvo of 10,000 catapults.

If you look at the topography of this place, there is a cliff on the left, a big river below, and a mudslide on the right, and we don't even have a place to hide. The only way now is to turn back.

I can't tell you clearly, I have to turn the team around, hoping that God can give us one more hour, otherwise these more than 1,000 people, even people and horses, will not survive. ”

After Hu Wei finished speaking, he stopped talking nonsense, turned his head and ran behind him.

"Captain, I'll go with you. Zhu Daneng also followed behind Hu Wei. Although he had not fully understood Hu Wei's words, he believed that Hu Wei was by no means gibberish.

"Malagobi, I'll go too. Hou San saw that Zhu Daneng had run away, and he also followed.

This road is not big, and as soon as the three of them run like this, the whole team will immediately be in chaos. Before they could run 50 meters, they were stopped by the detachment's pawn.

"Stop, what are you doing? Whatever you run, return to the team immediately and return to your seat. ”

Hu said anxiously: "Lord Dianjun, I have an emergency, and I must see General Link right away." ”

Dian Jun shouted: "Hu Wei, you don't talk much." Do you think that the general said that he would see him when he saw it? Return to the team immediately, or else military law will be involved. ”

The name of this pawn is Leices, and he was the head soldier for five years before he was promoted to captain, and then it took another five years to sit in the position of the commander of the detachment. I have always been dissatisfied with people like Hu Wei, who are not strong in force but have been upgraded super quickly. At this time, he didn't even ask the reason, so he stuffed Hu Wei back.

Hu Wei watched those dragonflies fly lower and lower, and he was so anxious that he turned around. The hierarchy of the upper and lower levels of the mandala is very strict, although this pawn army is only one level of big Hu Wei, but if Hu Wei dares to disobey the order, this pawn army has the right to take him down, and even can be executed on the spot.

"Lord Dianjun, the situation is urgent, please allow me to say a few words. Hu Wei still wants to work hard.

"I said it, and I'll be back immediately. Leices' hand was already on the handle.

"Malagobi. Hu Wei scolded in his heart. It's impossible to go back, it's really not possible, Hu Wei thinks about whether he can hard-top this army.

The confrontation between Hu Wei and Leices in the middle of the road has affected the progress of the team, and the team has become further chaotic. Seeing that there was a good show to watch, some people simply stopped.

In just a few months, Hu Wei has been promoted two levels in a row, which has attracted a lot of attention and envy, but also brought a lot of conjecture. There are even rumors in the army that Hu Wei is a wealthy nobleman. Now seeing that he dares to openly confront his superiors, some people have confirmed this conjecture.

"What's the matter, what are you all doing here. Delayed on the march, you have a few heads. Leices, how do you do things. While he was thinking about what to do, a voice came.

Hearing this voice, a hint of surprise flashed on Hu Wei's face. Because of this, he could tell that the voice belonged to Captain Rodri. And on the first day of his march into the barracks, he promoted him to the rank of captain, and beat him with thirty sticks.

"Lord Lieutenant, it's the squad leader Hu Wei and his subordinates who are making trouble, and the subordinate is already dealing with it. Right away. Come on, let me escort Hu Wei and the others down. As soon as Leices waved his hand, several big men behind him jumped out.

"Wait, Captain Rodri, I have an emergency to report. It's a matter of life and death for everyone present, please listen to my nonsense. Hu Wei shouted. Hu Wei knew that Rodri had clear rewards and punishments, and he would definitely listen to what he had to say.

Leices said angrily: "If you dare to talk nonsense, take me down immediately." ”

Rodri stopped Leices and waved at Hu Wei, "Wait, Hu Wei, I remember you." You come here. ”

"Yes, Captain. Hu Wei saw that the opportunity had come, and hurriedly ran to Rodri.

"You just said that it is a matter of life and death for everyone here, what is the matter? Let me warn you first, if you dare to disturb the morale of the army, I will not spare it. ”

"Lord Captain, the subordinate will never dare to do this. My lord, please see," Hu Wei explained the cause and effect of the whole thing in the most simple and easy-to-understand way.

After listening to Hu Wei's words, Rodri asked in disbelief: "It's really so terrible." "He usually only knows that there is an avalanche, and he has never heard of it, and it can be so terrible when it rains.

Hu Wei said seriously: "Lord Captain, if my judgment is correct, this time it should not only be raining, but there may also be an earthquake, and the possibility of mudslides is very high. ”

Rodri immediately said, "I hope your judgment is wrong." You come with me, and this matter must be reported to General Link immediately. ”

"Yes, Captain. ”

After listening to Hu Wei's words, Link said disapprovingly: "What kind of rain and earthquake, what kind of mud is it?"

"Mudslide, my lord. ”

"Ah, yes, mudslides. Let's not care what it flows for now, just a few dragonflies, you say that it will rain this day, and it will be a heavy rainstorm, do you think I will believe you?

Do you know that the wind and sand here in Dingsi are dry for half a year, and there are not even a few light rains all year round, and there have never been heavy rains. ”

It may not be clear to say anything else, but when it comes to Dingsi, he knows a lot. His father used to fight here, and every time he talked about his experience, he complained about the weather here. Link was calloused by his ears.

Hu Wei really didn't know that Link was so familiar with the weather here, but no matter what Link said, he still believed that his judgment would not be wrong.

"Lord General, this weather is a thing, and it can be changed. Just because it didn't rain before doesn't mean it won't rain forever. Please also believe me, let the troops turn around immediately, drop the heavy objects and hurry, maybe in a hurry. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"This" Seeing that Hu Wei said so seriously, Link was also a little furious in his heart. Compared with rushing, my life seems to be more important.

"Your Excellency. I think Hu Wei's words are very credible. Even if it is wrong, it is only a day and a half of delay, which will not have much impact on the overall situation. After that, we just have to hurry and go. Rodri helped.

Rodri doesn't look at the weather, but he looks at people. He could see from Hu Wei's eyes that what Hu Wei said was the truth. Besides, Hu Wei is not a person who makes such jokes with his head, holding the idea that he would rather believe it than believe it, he still thinks it will be better to look back.

"Hu Wei, do you dare to use your faith to guarantee that it will definitely rain?" Link said hesitantly.

Maragobi. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't leave, Lao Tzu would have run away long ago, and there would still be time to waste here with you. Heaven and earth are the greatest, Lao Tzu is saving you, do you think it is harming you,

Scolding and scolding, but with the current situation, Hu Wei can only go down hard, and now he dares to say a word, he doesn't have to wait for it to rain or not, and if he can't get Link, he will accept his little life.

"My lord, I am willing to use the head guarantee of the item. If it doesn't rain, you can take my head. ”

Hu Wei said this as if he were at home, but in his heart, he greeted all the female relatives of the seventy and eighty generations of Link.

Rodri saw that Hu Wei dared to say such a thing, and his heart trusted him a little more, so he said to Link again: "Lord General, I see"

"Okay, I got it. Go out first. Link interrupted Rodri with a wave of his hand.

"Yes. ”

Hu Wei and Rodri glanced at each other, bowed and retreated.

The two of them walked not far from Link, and Hu Wei immediately couldn't help but ask, "Lord Captain, do you think Lord Biao General will order the army to turn around." ”

It was a matter of life and death, and Hu Wei had already decided in his heart that if Link wanted to continue to move forward, he would only have to find a way to protect himself first. If you are on the battlefield and see the danger rushing forward, it is reasonable. But now he knows that there is a dead end ahead, and the mudslide is about to come, and he still thinks about moving forward, that is, his brain is broken.

It's just a pity that Zhu Daneng's newly acquired little brothers took a lot of effort to pull them into their hands, and they were still thinking about how to play their personal skills on the battlefield in the future.

This incident made Hu Wei's idea of having a unit of his own even stronger. As long as you sit in the position of partial general first, you can let the troops act according to their own will.

While he was speculating and Link, when he hesitated, the sky, which was still shining with the sun just now, suddenly moved. In just an instant, the dark clouds obscured the sunlight, the whole sky darkened, the horizon suddenly turned purple, and a bolt of lightning slashed through the entire space like the sickle of death.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, the sky and the earth changed color, and the earth shook the mountains.

"Well, the captain's mouth is really a god. Hou San was stunned to see the change in the moment, and muttered to himself.

Zhu Daneng slapped Hou San on the back of the neck, knocked him out, and shouted, "You are stupid, don't leave quickly." The order has been given from above to retreat the same way immediately. Hurry up. ”

"Hey, what was that person's name just now, by the way, it's called Hu Wei. He wanted to say that it was raining, and I called him stupid, but I didn't expect it to come. A man said to his companion.

"Come on, it's not urgent to save your life now, you still have the heart to say this. Hurry up, rush back. The speaker squeezed as he spoke, but after squeezing several times, he didn't find a way out.

"Catch up with a fart, you see this person is crowding and pushing, and there is no way to run. If you stand still, you might be able to live for two more minutes. ”

"Ahh

"Behold, this is the seventeenth. ”！
