546. The ranks of the night march

Xiang Peihu is really good at barbecue, he rhythmically exchanged the deer legs fixed on the bamboo frame with his two hands, and roasted them evenly on both sides, Xu Da brushed the oil on it, and the thick deer legs were roasted with oil.

The venison is fragrant, and when the breeze blows, the whole waterhole is surrounded by a mouth-watering aroma.

But Wang Qilin doesn't eat deer legs, this thing looks delicious and smells fragrant, and it definitely doesn't taste very good.

It's all muscles, and it's even rougher than what you can get out of the gym!

He ate two bites of deer tenderloin, the meat was still very tender, and then Suisui Niangzi stewed a deer whip for him, and the sauce exploded the deer treasure, and Wang Qilin was full of eating this thing.

Eat and drink enough, and the sun will go down.

The mountains are vast, and there is a mountain high outside the mountain, so the sun will be blocked by the mountains when it gets dark early.

Wang Qilin released the Dao magic boat, and when Suisui Niangzi saw this magic weapon for the first time, she subconsciously frowned: "Hey, how can you have such a boat?"

"Do you know what kind of ship this is?" asked Wang Qilin.

Suisui Niangzi shook her head and said: "I don't know, but the slave family can see that this ship is related to the Taoist Yin Division, its bow turned out to be Bai Ze, Xiangrui drove the boat, this ship is unspeakably expensive." ”

Wang Qilin said with a smile: "Dao Ye said that this is a Dao Law boat, it is indeed very powerful, there is a lot of space in it, and we people should be able to squeeze it down." ”

Seeing that the sunlight gradually disappeared, he pulled the Suisui lady and said, "Let's go, let's chase the sun." ”

Yang Guo, who is somewhat similar to him in appearance and temperament, has done similar things, of course, Yang Guo is running blindly all over the mountains and wilderness, constantly chasing the sun through the mountains and mountains, which is very sad.

And he, the beauty is beside him.

Judgment from above.

The two ran hand in hand to the top of the mountain, and after running up, the afterglow of the sunset was almost invisible, so Wang Qilin changed to the imperial sword and took the Suisui lady to climb to a higher mountain.

Eventually, the sunset disappeared and the sky was full of stars.

The starry sky in the mountain was particularly clear and bright, so they snuggled up to the top of the mountain and enjoyed the beautiful scenery for a while.

When they were about to go back, they realized that they had run too far and were lost!

This is the case in the mountains, there are dense forests everywhere, and the mountains are very similar to each other, and sometimes they may step on the grass when they pass by a meadow, leaving traces, but when the wind blows, the grass grows, and there is no trace of it.

Wang Qilin looked around hard and said, "It seems that even the direction has been completed." ”

Suisui Niangzi pitifully grabbed the placket of her clothes and asked, "What should we do then? Are the two of us sleeping in the mountains and wilderness?"

Speaking of the back, she was a little shy and timid.

Wang Qilin's manhood suddenly came to mind, and he patted his chest and said, "It's okay, you watch, I will definitely find my way back." ”

Suisui Niangzi's eyes were dark.

Wang Qilin's sword flew into the air to look for a bonfire, but the mountains and forests blocked him, and he searched for a while but didn't find it.

So he could only take Suisui Niangzi to fly back according to the vague opportunity, and fly around for a while.

In this way, the two of them wasted a lot of effort and finally saw the familiar bonfire.

Wang Qilin looked in the air and saw that there was only a fire in the fire pond by the waterhole, and there was no fire in the camp on the mountain, but a figure of a man shaking.

He pondered for a moment, and decided to take a closer look.

Zhou Lao and his party always behaved wrongly.

He first settled the Suisui lady, and then took Bameow and Jiuliu to the camp.

There is a path at the entrance of the camp, and the path is not repaired, but people come out of the place where the slope is gentle.

At this time, Zhou Lao and a group of military men were descending the mountain in the dark, walking very slowly and cautiously.

The reason why they are like this is not only because it is difficult to walk in the dark, but also because some of the soldiers carry burdens, and some carry a large box together.

Looking at the length, width, height and shape of this box, Wang Qilin guessed that this was a coffin.

However, it was covered with something that looked like a military flag, and the military flag faintly emitted a red light at night, and Hachimeow and Nine-Six didn't seem to dare to look at him directly.

It's a good thing.

Walking in front of the queue was Zhou Lao and a thin and capable young man, the young man walked lightly, and said softly as he walked: "Zhou joins the army, let's go forward and turn two mountain passes to be our Yulu Village, the Yulu wine in our village is famous, and you and the brothers must be invited to drink it when the time comes." ”

Zhou Lao smiled and said: "Okay, this rain and dew wine is old, but I have heard you say it many times, I have long wanted to taste it, when you joined the army with your four brothers, did you take this rain and dew wine with you? ”

The young man grinned: "The rain and dew wine was drunk on our way to the army, but we were never willing to throw away the bamboo wine barrel, so I used it to fill the wine with my brothers." ”

He paused and touched his head embarrassedly, and said, "Our brother has some courage, but he has not made any meritorious achievements. ”

Zhou Lao said: "You have made many meritorious achievements, otherwise how could Huan Shuai give you such a reward, let us personally accompany you to send you home?"

Hearing this, the young man couldn't bear to be excited, and said: "Huan Shuai has clear rewards and punishments, loves soldiers like sons, and rebuilds our Yang family brothers, our brothers should charge into battle for him and the court, how can we be embarrassed to get so many rewards?"

Zhou Lao said: "Yes, Huan Shuai said that you Wuyang have made great achievements in the army, and if it weren't for the tight war, you should have been allowed to return to your hometown to visit your relatives a long time ago." ”

Speaking of this, he sighed: "It would be great if you could let your brother return to his hometown a month earlier." ”

The young man lowered his head, and his mood was gloomy: "The battle of Quarry Pass is the battle between our Blue Blood Army and Baiyue and Jiaozhi, Huan Shuai and the imperial court have been planning for this battle for two years, and my brothers are good at climbing mountains and walls, how can we, how can we return to our hometown before this big battle?"

"My four elder brothers are horse leather shrouds, and they deserve to die!"

When Wang Qilin heard this, he probably understood what was going on, and his mood was as gloomy as this young man.

Zhou Lao said: "This time when you return to your hometown, you serve your mother well, don't worry about the affairs of the army." If you are bullied, don't be afraid, our blue blood army is loyal and courageous, worthy of the sky, worthy of the earth, worthy of others, worthy of the heart - in short, you should not be wronged in your hometown. ”

The young man smiled: "Well, I remember the lowly position. Zhou Senjun, you are really amazing, you know so much, did you think what you said just now? It sounds like people's blood boiling. ”

Zhou Lao said in a low voice: "No, it is what the ancient sage Mencius said. ”

The young man asked with interest, "What did Mencius say?" Can you teach me ......?"

"Who?" Zhou Lao suddenly looked ahead and shouted in a deep voice.

If it weren't for the wrong direction of his gaze, Wang Qilin would have thought that he had been discovered.

The man who carried the burden in the back immediately set up a battle formation, and the two people in front took off the round shield on their backs with their backhands to block the front, and the men in the back took out their sabers in turn, and the men took out a crossbow - this thing is a high-power lethal weapon among the people.

Old Zhou looked forward carefully, shook his head and said, "The old man seems to have seen it wrong, it was a ball of grass shaking, and he was mistaken for an adult." ”

He smiled behind him: "I'm old, my old eyes are dizzy." ”

When the people went on the road, they groped their way by the moonlight, and they did not raise their torches, even though they had nothing to do with their hands.

However, the army under the command of King Huan has been fighting in the southwest mountains, where the terrain is more steep than the mountains of Jingchu and Shu, and the army has become accustomed to walking this kind of place, and this team is the elite blood army in the army, and there are locals to lead the way, so it is also very fast.

They walked silently and briskly on the mountain path, and gradually, the leading young man stopped talking.

Turning a mountain after a corner, a second mountain appeared in the darkness.

The young man pointed to the mountain and said: "The next road, we can't speak, the mountain is called Tiger Roaring Mountain, Li Zhai raised a few white-fronted tigers in that mountain, and it is not easy to deal with." ”

Speaking of this, he scratched his head helplessly, and said: "Zhou joins the army, why do we have to walk at night? It is not easy to walk at night in this mountain, so it is best for us to rush during the day, after all, tigers and poisonous snakes are predated at night." ”

Zhou Senjun said happily: "It's okay, you and Zhongying and the others are all fierce pawns in the Blue Blood Army, what is there to be afraid of a few big insects in the mountains?"

The young man shook his head and said: "Our Blue Blood Army is indeed not afraid of the big insects in the mountains, not to mention these fierce beasts, even demons and monsters are not afraid, all of them are united, and a hundred ghosts are easy!"

"But, alas, these eye-catching white-fronted tigers I am talking about are raised by Li Greedy Village, who dares to kill these big tigers, that is to oppose Li Greedy Village, Damang Mountain and Xiao Mang Mountain are the territory of Li Greedy Village, who dares to oppose Li Greedy Village?"

A soldier in the back couldn't help but snort: "Is Li Zhai very powerful? Why are you afraid of them?"

The young man turned around and smiled: "Brother Biao knows, this is the territory of Jiuli Mountain, Li Yuantong, the first mountain of the Nine Great Mountains to which Li Greedy Village belongs, is really powerful, and we mountain people here don't dare to provoke them." ”

When Wang Qilin heard this title, his heart moved, and this title was very familiar.

He has a good memory, and soon remembered that this was when he was in Chang'an City, he was appointed by Emperor Taijia as the head of the Guanfeng Guard, and assigned a mission to Shu County to investigate the stain of King Zhen.

These two forces are Tangmen and Jiulidong.

For this reason, he looked for Xie Toad and read books to learn about Jiuli Mountain, which is the largest indigenous tribe in the mountains around Shu County, which was changed from the ancient Jiuli Kingdom.

The name of Jiuli has a long history, it was a tribal alliance in ancient times, the earliest to Chi especially the leader, there are eighty-one brothers, all are chiefs, a total of eighty-one tribes, the scale is huge, once and the Yellow Emperor competed for the world.

The result is clear to every descendant of Yan and Huang, Jiuli was defeated and expelled from Jiuli country, they retreated all the way into the deep mountains and old forests, and after thousands of years of development, they are now entrenched in Jingchu, Shu and the surrounding mountains and forests.

In fact, the current Jiuli is very different from the bloodline of the Jiuli country in history, and the tribes in the mountains will call themselves the descendants of Jiuli when they see that Jiuli is powerful.

Nowadays, there are a total of nine large tribes in this deep mountain according to their surnames, each of which has the surname of the ancient ancestors, and the nine surnames are Li Greed, Li Ju, Li Lu, Li Wen, Li Lian, Li Wu, Li Po, Li Fu, and Li Bi.

They are also named after the mountain, which are Li Greed Mountain, Li Ju Cave, Li Lu Cave, Li Wen Mountain, etc., collectively known as Jiu Li Mountain.

Jiulitong nominally accepted the leadership and governance of the imperial court, but in fact their relationship with the imperial court was more like that of a vassal state, with their own set of operating rules and etiquette, and there were also private soldiers in their jurisdiction, who would present gold, silver, jewelry, rare birds and beasts in the mountains, and panacea to the imperial court through the yamen every year.

The imperial court called the treasures they offered 'tax', and the interior of Jiulitong called it 'Suina'.

After the establishment of this dynasty, the imperial court tried to break up Jiulitong many times, but the two sides have been fighting for many years, and no one can help anyone.

There are too many mountains and forests in this generation, and as soon as the imperial army arrived, Jiulitong immediately scattered and took food and wealth to hide in the mountains and waters, and when the imperial army left, they would kill and eat away at the remaining troops of the imperial court.

There are also capable people in Jiulitong, who call this tactic a weed tactic: wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate.

The imperial court was finally annoyed, and the fierce army regardless of gains and losses used tactics to launch several major battles, which frightened and subdued Jiulitong.

Now Jiulitong is not a demon, Wang Qilin looked at the internal information of the Heavenly Prison, which said that Jiulitong is now like a country:

They will pay a lot of treasures to the imperial court every year, and restrain the people from running into the Han people's settlements at will to cause trouble, but for the imperial court's orders, they have laws and troops inside.

However, considering that since ancient times, Jiuzhou has a saying that the imperial power is not lower than the county, and the countryside is all controlled by the elders of various clans, and the imperial court does not care much about the strategy of Jiulitong, and directly regards Jiulitong as a large squire.

The pedestrians in the team were chatting, and a tiger roar sounded not far away.

The whistling sound should be far from them, it was drifting with the mountain wind, and the sound was low and not loud.

But the king of beasts is the king of beasts after all, and this roar is really powerful and domineering, and the savagery and bloodlust contained in it make people feel terrified.

Jiuliu shook his head, and Eight Meow jumped from Wang Qilin's shoulder to the ground and stood up and punched.

Very energetic.

Ordinary beasts naturally cannot be compared with spirit beasts, even if they are the king of beasts, even if they are still cubs, this is a bloodline gap in nature.

The group of people in the team was different, the soldiers who walked behind and carried the burden retreated one after another, and the young man who led the way in front snorted and took two steps backwards and collapsed to the ground.

But he then quickly got up again, drew his waist knife and intercepted the four people behind him, full of panic but no longer retreated.

Zhou Shenjun said in a deep voice: "Fifth brother Yang, you Yang family has no brothers, they are all the fierce pawns in my Xinhan iron-blooded strong division and blue blood army, and the demons and monsters are not enough to be afraid, how can you be afraid of a tiger roar now!"

"Before, we fought for the country, and after no less than 20 bloody battles, your five brothers have never been afraid to fight, and your four brothers are even blood-stained frontiers and sacrificed their lives for the country, if they know that you were frightened by an unmasked tiger today, how can the four of them have face?"

The fifth brother of the young sheep hesitantly explained: "Let Zhou join the army and laugh, just now, just now I don't know what's going on, when I hear this tiger roar, I suddenly feel weak in my heart, and I can't help but be afraid......"

Zhou Senjun grabbed him by the shoulder and said, "I know, don't say it, let's continue to move forward, and we will pass through the mountain in front of us tonight." ”

The fifth brother nodded and said: "Okay, then let's speed up the pace, and please be careful with the brothers behind, if there is a tiger appearing, we will respond to the enemy with an iron hedgehog formation, the big insects in the mountains are shrewd, they find that they can't easily eat our flesh and blood, and most of them will take the initiative to retreat." ”

The group was silent again, and Zhou Senjun waved his hand, and they quickened their pace.

After some time, a cloudy cloud was blown by the night wind, which happened to block the half moon.

The mountain wind was rushing up, and the leaves and grass that were blowing shook and the deep forest made a rattling sound.

In the midst of this crisp sound, there was a succession of dull sounds.

It's like a beast landing on the foot.

Hearing this, Fifth Brother Yang immediately lowered his voice and said, "Brothers, be careful, quickly form a formation!"

Zhou Shenjun asked, "Is the big worm coming?"

The fifth brother of the sheep said in a low voice: "Yes, and this big insect is determined to win, let's be careful." ”

Zhou Senjun asked, "Why do you say this?"

The fifth brother sighed and said: "I don't know if I joined the army, the big insects in this mountain are like cats, and when cats catch mice, there are two situations, one is to fill their stomachs, and they will do everything possible to quickly kill the mice and eat them." ”

"There is also the case of boredom, where they will play with the rats until they get tired of it. ”

"Although the big insect is large and heavy, it has a soft cushion on its feet, and it can walk silently in the mountains, and only when it pounces out can it be found that it has come to it. ”

"So if it makes you hear footsteps in advance, it means that it has already eaten you and wants to make fun of you!"

Zhou Senjun nodded slowly and said, "Old man understands, fifth brother Yang, you go behind old man, don't say anything later." ”

He took off his robe, revealing a black coat inside, and opened the basket again, and took out a portable oil lamp.

The oil lamp was lit, and the light was miserable.

Wang Qilin suddenly thought of what Xie Toad had said......

This is also a kind of dark lamp, which is said to be the secret treasure of the corpse chaser family in Xiangxi, Qiandi.

The lights are on, the netherworld road is open, the evil aura is revealed, the ferocity is great, all ghosts retreat, and all evils do not invade!

Zhou Senjun walked to the forest next to him with a lamp, and the light faintly illuminated the figure of a giant beast.

He said slowly: "Qiannan Zhou's family, passing through the treasure land, also hope to sprinkle a thin noodle and let two inches of travel." ”

The trees still swayed in the night breeze, and the rustle of the leaves grew louder and louder.

Heavy footsteps resumed.

This time, the footsteps were heard from all sides.

The mountain wind blew away the clouds, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the mountains.

The formation of the soldiers was a little chaotic, and they saw that there were traces of fierce beasts in the mountains and forests on both sides.

More than four!

Zhou Senjun said again: "Qiannan Zhou's family, passing through the treasure land, also hopes to sprinkle a thin noodle and let two inches of road. ”

A vague voice sounded in the forest, his official words seemed to be bad, a little awkward: "You take people and corpses away, and I will stay for the rest, this is the rule, the rule of the lord of Datong." ”

Zhou Senjun said: "Please also open the net and break the rules once." ”

A sneer rang out in the woods: "Ha!"

The tiger came out of the jungle.

Hanging eyes and white forehead, white hair and black lines all over the body, majestic and murderous.

Zhou Shenjun asked flatly: "Can't you open the net?"

The man in the woods said, "No, it's the rule." ”

The soldiers clenched their swords.

Wang Qilin shook his head, he walked out and said: "Rules are dead, people are alive, open the net, make way." ”

His sudden appearance caused a stirring on both sides of the confrontation, and the tigers looked at him, some of them opened their mouths to bark at him—

"Sword out!"

The Goldfinch Blade instantly shot into the mouth of the open-mouthed tiger, and the tiger tyrannically bitten, and four other swords appeared above its head.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers couldn't help but shout: "Master!"

Wang Qilin stepped forward with his hands behind his back: "Do you want this official to open a killing ring?"

The man in the forest sneered: "You dare!"

Wang Qilin also sneered: "You mountain bandits dare to intercept the way of my imperial court, and this official, as an official of the imperial court, dare not behead you? Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

The wind in the forest suddenly rose, and a figure rushed out from behind the tiger, shuttling through the trees several times and rushing out of the forest area with one punch.

Wang Qilin ignored it and stood tall.

The long fist slammed into his chest, his wrist flicked, the moonlight flashed a cold light, and the demon knife pressed against the neck of the opposite person and pressed him to the ground.

Looking at the mosaic-like man on his face, Wang Qilin said: "Next time, this official will directly cut off your head!"

The man said sharply: "You are so majestic, do you know where this is?"

Wang Qilin shouted: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister! This is the land of the Han Dynasty, you are the people of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, what's the matter, do you have an opinion?"

"There are no two heavens and no two people, what's the matter, you want to rebel?"
