The wind and snow were heavier, and the heavens and the earth were filled with the whirring sound of cold winds and howling. Snow was falling heavily, and the ground was cold and damp.

The ghost soldiers in the camp of the Xudu Army, except for those who had to patrol and stand guard, the other ghost soldiers either sat around the bonfire to keep warm, or they hid in their own military tents, wrapped in quilts on the bed, shivering.

After watching the guards of the herald barracks leave with the secret letter, the ghost soldiers who came to deliver the letter also turned around and left. When he turned his back to his comrade-in-arms, the ghost soldier couldn't help but sigh softly.

The wind howled sharply, covering his sigh of sorrow and loss.

There were a few times when he almost couldn't hold back his anger and wanted to tell the contents of that comrade-in-arms' secret letter. But in the end, what little sanity he had left made him hold back. If he said the contents of the secret letter, the whole barracks would have exploded. Moreover, he has been Gong Mingyi's guard for so many years, and he knows a little about Gong Mingyi day and night. Once he couldn't help but say the content of the secret letter, Gong Mingyi would instead say that he had never sent the letter at all.

Because the letter was not printed with a handsome seal, it was just Gong Mingyi's signature and drawing. Gong Mingyi can be said to be a fake secret letter made up by this ghost soldier imitating his handwriting.

At that time, this ghost soldier with a blue face and fangs but also a full beard will have a hundred mouths, and he can't tell clearly.

He had already thought of these situations in his military tent after peeking at the contents of the secret letter, and his conjecture this time was completely correct, Gong Mingyi had already calculated every retreat. So in the end, this ghost soldier couldn't help but say nothing, left with a heart full of sorrow, and walked slowly back to Gong Mingyi's big tent in the wind and rain to continue to stand guard.

His heart is as cold as ice and snow, and what he is about to do is to make Gong Mingyi unable to escape. We must not afford to fall short.

The ghost soldier who returned to the big tent stood in the wind and snow without saying a word, and when he remembered the words on the secret letter, he trembled with anger. Listening to the snoring in the tent behind him, he was even more angry.

The heat emitted from the two braziers in the big tent of the Chinese army dispelled the cold. Gong Mingyi can get a good night's sleep.

But the sergeants outside were not so blessed, and could only starve and shiver in the cold wind. The ink snow of the Netherworld will freeze every wisp of ghost qi in their bodies, making their qi pulse unsmooth, and in severe cases, they will even freeze to death in this ice and snow. All of these made the ghost soldier with a thick beard angry, and he clutched the handle of the long knife hanging from his waist.

And the other ghost soldier beside him didn't know anything, so he thought it was because the weather was too cold and shivered, so he whispered to him: "Xiao Lu, you have to be too cold to stand it, why don't you go back to sleep in the tent first." Anyway, the handsome is already asleep, and no one will pursue you. ”。

This ghost soldier who spoke was older, and he was also very good to other comrades-in-arms on weekdays, and he could always take care of his ghost feelings, just like now, which made Xiao Lu's heart warm.

But because of these words, the killing intent and anger that had just risen in Xiao Lu's heart were diluted.

Xiao Lu showed some embarrassment and smiled awkwardly.

"Go ahead, the guard will change in half an hour anyway, let's get some rest. Lao Lu said lightly.

"I'll just go and squint for a while, I'll thank you, Lao Lu. After Xiao Lu's ghost soldier thanked him, he quietly and slowly left the Chinese army's tent.

He spared a bend in the snowstorm and did not rush back to his military tent. The snowflakes in the wind are just his best cover.

In addition, in the past few days, the Xudu army has lacked food and clothing, and there are many sentries in the camp who are fishing, but it made him easily bypass all the surveillance and open and dark sentinels, and easily left the camp of the Xudu army in the wind and snow.

For an hour, he only had one hour to leave this place without being discovered, and he had to rush to Xiaoyu Mountain City as soon as possible. Once it was time for the changing of the guard, his comrades returned to their tents and saw empty beds and cold bedding, and soon knew that he had defected.

This is his plan, to use Gong Mingyi's escape and retreat plan as a meeting gift to the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

He knew that he knew that the Nine Shadows Kingdom would never let Gong Mingyi go. As the executioner who slaughtered nearly a million ghosts in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, every ghost soldier in the Nine Shadows Kingdom was eager to tear Gong Mingyi apart, and they were very willing to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

As long as the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom can catch Gong Mingyi, the ghost soldiers of Xudu will be leaderless, and there will be many people who surrender without a fight. And the Jiuyou National Army does not kill the surrendered soldiers, and it can also rescue many of his comrades.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Lu had already left the camp of the Xudu Army for more than a mile.

There was already a lot of snow on the ground, and the scorched earth covered with black snow was damp and cold, and Xiao Lu Shen walked slowly against the wind with one shallow foot.

The cold wind howled in the overflowing cold air, and Xiao Lu, who had been walking for a long time, gradually disappeared in his body. He was wheezing, sweating on his forehead, and his palms and feet were also hot.

After walking for a long time in the wind and snow, he finally saw the lights in the distance in front of him, and under the cold wind and black snow in the blurred vision, he brought up a hazy red light and shadow. Although he couldn't see what was under the fire, Xiao Lu thought to himself: "That's the lights in Xiaoyu Mountain City." ”。

Thinking so, he quickened his pace.

Before he could take a few steps, the little lights of fire slowly came towards him.

For a moment, Xiao Lu couldn't tell whether he was getting closer and closer to the firelight, or whether the firelight was slowly approaching him? After not taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, and stood in the snow.

The cold wind that swept through the ink snow blew around him, bringing with it a sharp whistling sound.

After Xiao Lu stood still, he finally saw clearly that the little bit of fire was really coming towards him.

Before Xiao Lu could see if it was the patrol of the Nine Shadows Country after the fire, he heard a noise on both sides behind him. It was the rustle of boots rubbing against the snow.

Hearing this, Xiao Lu became nervous. In a panic, his hands trembled, and when he looked back, he saw a cold light in front of him, and several sharp spears cut through the wind and snow and reached him in front of him.

"Xiao Lu, this north wind is howling, the weather is freezing in the middle of the night, what are you doing leaving the camp and running so far?" Lao Lu's voice came from behind those spears: "Find a place to go to the thatched house?"

In this deep questioning, he had long lost the kindness he had when he cared about Xiao Lu before.

Immediately followed by Gong Mingyi's voice, which sounded in the wind and snow: "Lu Teng, Lu Teng, you have disappointed Ben Shuai too much." You should be the most trusted retinue of Ben Shuai, why did you commit such a betrayal?".

As soon as the words came out, the firelight that Xiao Lu had seen before had already reached his side. By the light of the fire, Xiao Lu looked around and saw the Xudu cavalry holding torches in their hands and driving beasts around him.

The wind roared, Gong Mingyi came out of the darkness and stood under the firelight, opposite Xiao Lu. The guards around him handed the spears forward, and they all pressed against every vital point on Xiao Lu's physique.

Gong Mingyi, whose eyes were colder than the wind and snow, gradually became murderous when he squinted. After glancing at the panicked and anxious Xiao Lu, Gong Mingyi lowered his head and played, twisted his thumb back and forth, and said coldly: "Recently, there have always been ghost soldiers who have sent news to Xiaoyu Mountain City, and Ben Shuai has been trying to catch this inner ghost. Today's game is to catch no ghosts. I thought that the inner ghost would be in the messenger of the Express Division, but I didn't expect that the inner ghost caught was you. ”。

Gong Mingyi said without hurry or slow, and was calm and composed.

In fact, this is not the case. It's just that Gong Mingyi received the news of the secret whistle, saying that Xiao Lu had escaped quietly, and immediately thought of whether Xiao Lu had peeked at Gong Mingyi of the secret letter, and hurriedly led his troops to chase him, and at the same time sent a cavalry detour to the front of Xiao Lu to intercept it, and took the lead in beating Xiao Lu, a ghost soldier.

This not only showed that he Gong Mingyi was prescient, but also shocked Xiao Lu Baibai, and was stunned for a while in the wind and snow, and his eye muscles twitched again and again......

Xiao Shizhu got a strong Dangkang beast soul to ride, and followed the mighty army all the way south, towards the south of Huangquan.

After crossing the black and green mountains that are named after the green mountains that lie near the border, the green green cages on the peaks of Wei'e Mountain, the clear streams between the mountains, and the black green mountains that are named after the light of day after entering the mountains, Xiao Shizhu led his army to the plains on the southern border of Middle-earth. When he arrived on the plain, he saw the gray and yellow of the sky in the distance in front of him, and the wind and sand that swept up and connected the heavens and the earth.

In the dark, gray and unreal wind and sand, it is the southern part of the Yellow Spring.

The wind and sand in the south were raging in the wind, like a yellow dragon swept up by a strong wind. No matter what time you see it, it's spectacular.

In winter, the wind and sand in the southern region are even greater, Xiao Shizhu looked around, only to see the fierce and fierce storm sweeping the wild sand raging between the sky and the earth, and the eyes were all dark yellow.

Xiao Shizhu, who was sitting on Dangkang's back, looked at the hazy yellow in the distance, killing time and boredom, but he still felt bored again after a long time, looked away and looked left and right, but he didn't see anything that interested him, and after stretching lazily, he opened his mouth wide and yawned.

Then he looked down at Dangkang's mount, whose crotch looked very similar to a wild boar, and thought in his heart: "This thing is no different from a pig, and the world says that it snows after getting married after riding a pig." There's no way I'm going to get married again, or I'd really like to see if it snows?"

"Son of God, we may have to rest on the border for a few days. At this moment, Ke Yun, who had been following him, also rode his own Dangkang and caught up, and when he walked side by side with Xiao Shizhu, his eyes continued to look at the yellow sand and wind in the distance.

Judging from her business in the southern part of Huangquan for many years, there will be a few days after the winter in this southern region, and there will be continuous strong winds and sandstorms like steel knives and sharp swords, roaring across the entire south, sweeping over the sand dunes again and again.

The darkness and yellow sand I saw in front of me really looked like the first storm after winter. If this is to break in, the army will inevitably stumble in the wind and sand, and be blown apart. As for those who were buried by the wind and sand, there will be countless deaths.

After Ke Yun explained these concerns to Xiao Shizhu one by one, Xiao Shizhu thought about it for a while and said, "It's okay, don't drill into the wind and sand in this ghost weather, we don't have so many wind beads, so we should wait on the edge for a few days as you said." ”。

In addition, the army has been marching for several days, and has not slept a single night, so it is time to rest.

After a pause, Xiao Shizhu said to Ke Yun again: "You take a few horsemen to hurry forward, tell the female Lu and Shi Cianming of the former army to find a place on the edge, and immediately start digging a trench to build a camp." Mobilize the ghost soldiers who are good at construction and send them to help. ”。

Ke Yun responded and left.

Suddenly, Xiao Shizhu's heart froze, anxiety suddenly rose, and a wave of uneasiness slowly rose from the bottom of his heart, lingering in his heart for a long time.
