227. Looking for people
Li Da was looking at the map with a candle, and when he heard this, he raised his head, glanced at Xizi, and then at Chen Lu, put down the candle, showed an uneasy look on his face, and said, "Shout Hasan." ”
Before the shouter could leave, Ha San came, and he didn't care about the courtesy, and hurriedly said: "Lord Lieutenant, the three groups of people sent by the humble post have not moved, and it is not good that something will happen." ”
Li Da asked, "None of them have come back?"
Ha San said: "Yes, there are more than 50 people before and after. ”
"How long was the first person to go out?"
"It should have been almost an hour. ”
Li Da pondered for a moment and said, "Then wait a little longer." If you don't come back for another half an hour, then something is wrong. ”
Ha San came in for so long, and he didn't say a word to Chen Lu, and Chen Lu didn't ask him. When they saw Shusha and Yuan Mu, Chen Lu and Ha San said a few words, strictly speaking, they said a few small words, which was not easy for Chen Lu, who has always been proud, and he didn't do it all for the overall situation!
All this is in Li Da's eyes, and his dissatisfaction with Ha San is increasing day by day. In the salt poison in the big chimney, Li Da has already inquired and understood, this three-eyed and disrespectful elder, he dared to give a private order to drink the river water, which almost caused a catastrophe. This time, he had a lot of trouble with Nalan again.
Nalan and Chen Lu are certainly responsible, but Ha San does not repair himself, allowing slander to take advantage of the situation. There was a discord between them, and today I looked at his face again, and I was quite unhappy, and said, "General Ha, are you here to report to the envoy, or are you here to ask for a plan?"
Ha San has obviously felt Li Da's coldness in the past two days. And Nalan's helpless return this time made Ha San a little dissatisfied with Li Da. Seeing the embarrassment of Li Da's question, he had to answer: "Both." ”
Li Da said: "Just report it, for these things, there is nothing to be done, you are the commander of the three armies, you can make your own decisions." ”
Ha San knew that Li Da was angry because he didn't greet Chen Lu, and said, "I want to go and take a look first, so I'm here to ask the two adults." Only then did he reluctantly lift Chen Lu out.
Chen Lu said: "Your Excellency, General Ha San is the commander, it is not appropriate to move lightly, I will go and take a look." ”
Li Da said: "It's okay, be careful. ”
Chen Lu asked Ha San: "Do all the people who go out have torches?"
"The first one had no torches, and the last two were dark, and they were all torches. ”
"Then have you looked at the mountains on both sides, is there a fire?"
"Look, there's no fire. ”
Chen Lu looked solemn and said, "Lord Lieutenant, most of them have accidents, without further ado, I will leave." Then he said to Ha San: "I am the last batch, whether we come back or not, don't send anyone to find it." Order two sentry soldiers for my old man, and let Hu Chun lead the team. Ha San nodded.
Chen Lu returned to his big tent, Han Liu'er had already cleaned up the snow, Chen Lu told him to go, the two of them stopped and walked out, Ha San was already waiting outside.
Chen Lu whistled, and the big green horse ran over. Ha San saw that he was going to ride a horse, and felt that on this snowy day, he went to the mountains, and it was easier to have an accident while riding a horse. I don't know what mood he was in, but he didn't stop it.
At this time, Hu Chun arrived with two sentinels, saw Chen Lu leading the horse, was taken aback, and said, "Lord Chen, this snowy day is not suitable for horseback, let's walk." ”
Chen Lu said: "Okay. "Run out of the camp with them. They searched the mountain on the left for half an hour, but they could not see a trace, and there was not even a single footprint on the snow. Everyone was taken aback and ran up the hill to the right. At this time, Hu Chuncai comprehended Lord Chen's mount, climbed high and crossed the ridge, as if walking on the ground, and the higher he climbed, the more excited he became, and he was relieved.
They also went around the hill on the right, and the result was still the same, and everyone was a little scared. Chen Lu asked Hu Chun to use torches to wave flags at the camp, and then led everyone towards the valley. They all thought that if they couldn't find the tree cutters, they would find a gang of them if they still fetched water.
Against the backdrop of torches and snow, everyone saw a bright white patch. Everyone quickly leaned over, it turned out to be a small stream, and here they found messy footprints, Chen Lu took a look, yes, it was the footprints of the soldiers of the mission.
Chen Lu saw that the stream was clear, let the big green horse drink for a while, and asked the soldiers if they wanted to take water, some did not need it, and some water bags were not satisfied, so they filled it with water. Han Liu'er filled three water bags.
Then Chen Lu ordered to look for it separately, he waited on his horse, and Han Liu'er was guarding with a torch. Chen Lu looked into the sky, it was cloudy again, the moon and stars were gone, and it would have to snow.
Although Chen Lu seemed to be waiting patiently, in fact, there was already an ominous premonition in his heart, and the three groups of people should have had an accident. He studied the sky carefully, it was just cloudy, and there was nothing special.
At this time, Han Liu'er shouted loudly: "My lord, it's all gone." "It's vague.
Chen Lu looked around, and the torches were gone. Under the light of the torch jumping into the firelight, it was Han Liu'er's frightened face. Under the infection of his frightened eyes, Chen Lu seemed to realize the danger, he felt that every shadow of the tree, every trace of wind carried a threat, which made his heart tremble, creepy, and every hair on his body stood up.
Han Liu'er said with a crying voice: "My lord, go back to the camp quickly." It was this shout that calmed Chen Lu down. He ignored Han Liu'er and shouted Hu Chun's name. I could only hear the buzzing sound in the mountains on both sides, which was the echo of Chen Lu's slightly hoarse trill.
Chen Lu seemed to hear someone on the left responding: "This way, it's all here." Chen Lu heard it clearly, rode his horse, and walked over very cautiously.
It is a flat avenue with black stuff on the pavement. There were poles on both sides of the road, and they were already crooked. To Chen Lu's surprise, a light came out from one of the poles, and the light was dazzling, ten times brighter than a torch.
Han Liu'er's torch had been extinguished, and he was trembling with a fire medium to light the fire, but his two hands didn't listen to the call at all. Chen Lu said: "Sixth son, there is no need to light the fire, we have already left Botuo." ”
The big green horse neighed and refused to move forward. This dog usually doesn't know anything about it, what's wrong. Chen Lu simply let go of the big green horse, and it ran back by itself, but it snorted there again and stopped there.
Chen Lu and the others walked for a while, and they had already passed the headlight, but the ground was still as bright as day.
Only then did the two of them remember to look into the air, their eyes widened, and their open mouths couldn't close for a long time. There was three moons in the sky. One in the east, one in the west, and one in the center, but the stars in the sky are densely layered. It is said that the moon stars are rare. Here is the difference, the moon star is thicker.
