Po Yu was thinking about it, but he heard Cao Rou's voice next to him, "Brother Linxiang, just now Miss Zhao said that we will go to the bamboo forest after we are rested, presumably to ask us to get our luggage back, let's go quickly, don't let people wait." Cao Rou saw that he was thinking about it, so she said softly.

Po Yu was already worried about the luggage, not to mention that the sword was also taken for them, so he hurriedly responded: "Okay, then let's go." Then the two of them got up and went to the bamboo forest.

The terrain here is quite flat, but there are many raised small peaks, and they are all overgrown with bamboo, if there is no Cao Rou in front to lead the way, it must be difficult to get out of this bamboo forest alone. In a blink of an eye, the two of them came around three hills, and then came to an open place, but there was not a single bamboo in this place, but its name was called Bamboo Forest, which made people feel strange.

The two walked here, but saw that the security was extremely tight, there were people sentry at each high point, and then they went forward, but it was more open, in the open space in front, more than twenty or thirty people gathered, a leader was speaking, and Miss Zhao was standing aside. The two walked over, and Po Yu nodded slightly to the Zhao girl, and the Zhao girl returned the salute.

When the leader saw the two coming, he called, "Junyong, bring the luggage of these two guests and return it to them." As soon as the words fell, a young man walked out, holding the luggage of the two captives in one hand and the gentleman's sword in the other. I saw that this young man had a delicate face, a pair of sword eyebrows, and big glowing eyes, but he looked gloomy and looked sick.

He walked up to the two of them, saluted first the leader, and then greeted them like the two captives. He returned the luggage to the two of them. "Thank you." The young man was about to leave, but the leader stopped: "Junyong, where did you go after everyone dispersed last night, you didn't arrive for the morning exercise this morning." ”

"Master, the disciple went out for a walk last night, and when he came back in the morning, he met two Mongolian soldiers on the way, and he entangled with them for a long time, and then he came back late. The boy replied.

"Have you ever exposed your whereabouts, have you never left a living mouth?" the old man asked again.

"It has not been exposed, and the disciple is extra careful. The young man replied again, and as he watched the conversation between the two, he saw a flash of panic on the young man's face, and said to himself that this man must be lying.

But the old man didn't notice it, only nodded slightly, and said to the two of them: "Last night, I mistakenly regarded the two as Mongolian thieves, and the little old man is here to compensate, since the luggage is now returned to the two, and there are many Mongolian soldiers here, please go back, the front is dangerous." Po Yu smiled in his heart: The front is dangerous, but how can you go back. I had no choice but to reply: "It was the two of us who strayed into this place and bothered you, so the two of us should leave on our own." ”

The two were about to leave, but they heard the sound of fighting in the bamboo forest in front of them. I saw a person rushing to report that a large number of Mongol soldiers were rushing to kill. The leading old man was shocked: "After all, I still found them." At that moment, the word went on: "Everyone should not fall in love with the war, flee to the back mountain, and the No. 5 cave will converge, leaving the green mountains behind, not afraid of no firewood." The man took the command. The old man turned around again and said to the two, "Two, now that the Mongol soldiers have been killed, you might as well go to the cave with us to take refuge." "Po Yu only said that he was unlucky today, but there was no other way, not to mention that Miss Zhao was looking at herself stupidly, as if she was saying why not go and hide together.

immediately discussed with Cao Rou, and the two immediately retreated into the cave with everyone. When he came to the cave, he saw that this cave was a natural artifact, and he couldn't help but praise in his heart, and he cooperated with the people of this village to be so clever and know how to use these caves reasonably, and even gave them names, if he hadn't said that this was the fifth cave, he would have thought that this was the cave where he was imprisoned before.

Soon after the two entered the cave, many more people entered the cave one after another. The old man suddenly opened his mouth and said to everyone, "How many people are still outside?" But one person replied: "Only Junyong and a few village names are still trapped outside." ”

The leading old man said: "Jun Yong has been witty since he was a child, and he is quite martial arts, so we don't have to worry about him." Our place is very hidden, as long as there is no acquaintance to lead the way, the Mongols will not find us, and when they are tired of searching, they will disperse. Before the words fell, I suddenly heard someone outside the cave mouth say loudly: "Master Zhao, I only need one person, and I will never hurt the life of a single villager." ”

Po Yu smiled secretly in his heart: This old man said so decisively just now, and before he finished speaking, this Mongolian came to the door. Suddenly, he thought about it again, this place is indeed very hidden, and everyone has left no traces, could it be that there is really an acquaintance to lead the way, but who will that person be, thinking of this, he suddenly remembered the young man he saw just now, in the conversation between him and the leading old man just now, he seemed very flustered, didn't he lead the Mongols all the way?

Shocked: "I hope it's not him." It turned out that when he thought of this, he said it unconsciously. Cao Rou asked: "Brother Linxiang, why do you wish it wasn't him?" But in my heart, I was still thinking: What do the Mongols want to do, wouldn't it be better to rush in directly, why do they still talk about the conditions.

Suddenly, I heard the old man say aloud: "If you have the ability, come in and get it." Seeing that he was puzzled, he explained in a low voice, we have enough gunpowder in this cave, but it is the craftsmanship of the Cao family, forgive him that he must have an acquaintance in the village to lead the way, then he must know the power of this gunpowder, and he does not dare to act rashly.

At that moment, Po Yu's heart settled down, but he was secretly funny, it turned out that this village was still somewhat related to Cao Sanpao, and he looked at Cao Rou, and he was also secretly funny. Anyway, they couldn't get out, and the enemy couldn't get in, so everyone chatted at the moment. After the introduction of the old man, it turned out that most of the people in this village were soldiers who resisted Mongolia back then, and this old man was named Zhao Hongtao, who was the general of Hebei that year, and he fought against Mongolia together with Cao Sanpao, and later became brothers of the opposite sex. And the Zhao girl is the only daughter of Zhao Hongtao, named Zhao Xue, who is seventeen this year and has been living in the village with her father.

At the moment, the two only said that they were Cao Sanpao's sworn brothers, so they didn't talk about anything else, and they came to recognize their relatives. Po Yu said: "The younger generation is named Guo Linxiang, Zhao Daxia is really respectable to protect the family and defend the country, and he is also half a disciple of Cao Yun's predecessors, and this is the daughter of Cao's predecessors, since you two are righteous brothers, I have to call you uncle if I want to come to my sister." After speaking, he was afraid that the other party would not believe it, and he also took out the secret recipe of "smoke dispersion" taught by Cao Sanpao. I saw that Zhao Hongtao was overjoyed: "I didn't expect us to be so fateful, I haven't seen that Cao Sanpao for more than ten years, and I think his daughter should be so old." I'm ashamed to say that although I and Cao Sanpao worship Jinlan, he is still defending his family and country, and I, an old man, can only wait for death in this cave, so he saved my life. ”

Cao Rou comforted: "Aren't the old-timers protecting the family and defending the country, my father is not as good as you." ”

At the moment, the three of them are happy, but some people are worried. I saw that when the Zhao Xue girl heard that this broken prisoner and Cao Rou had such a fate, and this Cao Rou was Cao Yun's daughter, she couldn't help but be happy. But he couldn't show it, but Zhao Hongtao's next words made another person unhappy, only to see him say:

"Since you and I are so destined, and my daughter is about the same age as you, why don't you three become brothers and sisters of the opposite sex, so that you can take care of each other in the future. But seeing that the two girls were silent, they could only say happily: "If it can be like this, it will be better." My Rou'er sister, his father entrusted her to me, and I have long regarded her as my own sister in my heart, but as for this Xue'er sister, I also have a feeling of familiarity at first sight. ”

At this point, Cao Rou's heart was as uncomfortable as a knife, but how could the girl's heart be revealed at this time, so she had to smile bitterly: "Isn't it a blessing to have such a brother and a sister Xue'er as a companion." Seeing this, Zhao Xue had no reason to shirk it. So at the moment, the three of them, in the cave, under the witness of Zhao Hongtao, became brothers and sisters with different surnames, among which the oldest grade was the eldest brother, and Zhao Xue was the youngest and the youngest sister.

After that, the three of them had their own thoughts, so they had nothing to say, so they recuperated and prepared to see the opportunity, lead the people to counterattack, and fight their way out of the encirclement.
