......

The two mixed into the grain and grass tents, and the army set off overnight.

Although the road is dim, the overall speed is still unabated, and Zhou Xiaoba naturally does not know that the luxurious account car is harboring Jin Jiao.

Right now, it is expected to enter the capital, so it is natural to think of some ways to earn some silver taels and stabilize the family, so that he can get closer to the cultivation.

Shanshan in his arms had fallen asleep, his face was a little stained, tightly pressed against his chest, and he slept soundly, with bursts of hot breath coming out of his small mouth, obviously the cold disease that broke out before had been suppressed.

Zhou Xiaoba and the two, although they are commensurate with the master and servant, but they are the same brother and sister, because they were free to be swaddled and abandoned in the blizzard, although she is smart and lively during the day, and her little head turns very fast, which is no different from a normal child, but at night the body will attract cold, and over time it will leave a hidden disease.

For this point, Xiong Zhao also scratched his scalp, most of the caravan personnel in Lane 72 were the caravan personnel who followed him before, and they had nothing to do with medical skills, and the rest of them were also poor people and farmers who fled the famine, and they couldn't heal.

Zhou Xiaoba went to the capital, not only to learn the way of cultivation, but also to heal Shanshan's cold body.

Regarding cultivation, he only read some superficial books, which is not enough to get started, even if it is in a mediocre body, he will not give up, there are thousands of Taoism in the world, and there must be one of his own.

............

The army marched for two days and two nights, and if it was dark today, the morale of the soldiers who had been running for two days was not as good as before.

Finally, the convoy slowed down in a wasteland overgrown with white pus, "All rest and set up camp!"

With the sound of an iron-like military order, the convoy stopped, and outside the grain and grass cart, there seemed to be the sound of someone talking.

"Shh

Zhou Xiaoba covered Shanshan's mouth, for fear of losing the slightest sound, half hunched his waist, looked at the movement outside the account car, slowly retreated backwards, and hid in a corner.

"The county lord ordered to unload three loads of army rations and hay, and two halves of dried meat and fruit wine......"

In the dimness, a faint light rose, and several soldiers walked into the grain and grass tent, leaving more than one to guard outside.

"Where's the smell of wine?"

Outside the account, a soldier holding an oil lamp frowned, as if he was trying extremely hard to sniff out something.

"Haha, brother Jun is too worried, drinking is forbidden inside the march, I think it's the little brother, you are addicted to alcohol, if you don't give up, how about a few brothers after returning to Beijing?"

One of them, a dark-skinned soldier of medium stature, suddenly smiled, as if the color on his face had been said for a few days.

"Naturally it's good!"

Several soldiers, when they heard about drinking, seemed to smell the smell of wine, and they were very happy and chatted one after another.

Seeing this, the previous soldier also dispelled his doubts, and his mouth was also about drinking.

After a long chat, the soldiers carried the grain and grass out, and the two people in the corner finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"How many days does the young master have to reach the capital? If the grain and grass continue like this, it won't be able to move for a few days, and sooner or later it will be discovered." ”

Shanshan gasped for breath and muttered quietly, but just now she was so frightened that her mouth and nose were tightly closed, and she almost lost her breath.

"I can't move for a few days and I can move for a few days, and now I have nothing to do with us, Shanshan, listen......"

As he spoke, Zhou Xiaoba stopped talking, quickly opened his bag, directly filled some jerky and biscuits, and wanted to go out vigilantly.

Shanshan listened to the young master's words, and looked at the young master who had always been sloppy and so vigilant, there must be something not quite right, the little head turned around, walked to the account, and the frozen red ears were neatly pasted up, and his face was more embarrassed, "Mountain, there are people behind the hillside, it seems that there is more than one ......"

"Nonsense, this is a few times bigger than the battle to rob our horse thieves in Lane 72, and the number of voices is definitely a lot more than the number of people in this army. ”

Zhou Xiaoba's face was also engraved with a strong sense of nervousness, the two people who have lived at the foot of the mountain since they were children, always beware of horse thieves, have already practiced some skills, and the horse thieves who often haunt can loot the single city at any time, not to mention that the two of them are still in the carriage of the army, and they have just experienced the arrival of soldiers, so they can be said to be vigilant at this moment.

"Shanshan, you remember, no matter what the circumstances, we have to save our lives, we are very weak and weak kind of people, so weak that they are not even as good as an ant, and there are many people who are very strong and powerful than us, and no one knows how many more people are stronger than these people, as long as we still have a glimmer of hope, we must do our best to live, because only by living, can there be infinite possibilities......"

"Young Master, what are we going to do now?"

Shanshan naturally knows how terrible the horse thief is, although the horse thief in Lane 72 only grabs things and does not hurt people, but every time he attacks, he still feels terrible.

"If it is a horse thief right now, such a battle must be premeditated, they are robbing the official car, naturally they will not leave a living mouth, but there is still a possibility......"

"What is possible?"

"There is another possibility, and it is also the most unlikely possibility, if the army escorts the county lord in the court, then the ordinary horse thieves will also take a detour, and they will not dare to hijack at all, such an enemy attack in this battle, and choose the night, someone must be rebelling!"

Zhou Xiaoba picked up the liquor on his waist, took two sips, and handed it to Shanshan, "Shanshan, don't be afraid, follow me, the young master will protect you." ”

The soldiers outside the account lit a few piles of dry fires, gathered together in the dark, roasted dry fires, chatted about the wives and children of the family, laughed from time to time, there were a few sentry posts in the distance, and most of the rest had already eaten dinner and fell asleep.

"With such an enemy situation, the army of the DPRK and China didn't even know about it, and they deserved it!"

Zhou Xiaoba scolded secretly, took Shanshan's little hand, and quietly got out of the grain truck at night, but he didn't know that he had a pair of eyes, staring at him all the time.

The county lord in the luxurious account car sat on the high hall as always, and the white-maned old man beside him was still unmoved, and the two rows of soldiers standing outside the account should be a little higher, and the armor and weapons on their bodies were not the same as those of other soldiers.

At this time, the white-maned old man opened his eyes, as if he knew the situation of the enemy army well, "The enemy army has a total of more than 2,000 people, 500 cavalry, divided into three routes, of which more than 300 are soldiers who fight, and the rest are ordinary mortals. ”

The county lord's face was cold, he just waved his shirt sleeves forward, and his momentum increased in vain, and suddenly a strong air flow flew out and swept up.

"Raise your troops to meet the enemy!"

Suddenly, the wind was howling, and a few drops of cold rain fell in the night, but the soldiers did not panic, and had already begun to line up their troops to prepare to meet the enemy, not paying the slightest attention to the two people who fell into the wind and sand in the night.

Zhou Xiaoba stumbled for a while, and was almost blown down by the wind, but the wind was like having eyes, and Shanshan, who was very close to her, didn't blow a single hair, but was about to blow herself down.

After a while, the wind became stronger and stronger, sweeping away the surrounding dead grass and dry trees, flying earth and yellow stones, and all of a sudden Zhou Xiaoba rushed away.

The storm was very powerful, directly blowing him three meters above the ground, and finally fell down with the dead wood and yellow stone.

"Shanshan, run, run to the woods at the foot of the mountain!"

"No, young master, I won't run!"

"Shanshan, have you forgotten what the young master told you, don't forget that your life is very heavy......

The wind and sand poured into the mouth, Zhou Xiaoba felt that his entire voice was blocked, and an extremely raging force seemed to enter his body, galloping back and forth, like a knife cutting.

"Young Master!"

Shanshan saw that the young master was swept up by the wind and sand, without any hesitation, she turned back directly and was about to rush in, but the storm did not get close to her body three feet, as if there was a magic force blocking it in the middle, she took a step further, and the storm retreated half a step.

In the same way, soon Shanshan saw the young master's body lying on the ground, and tears welled up all of a sudden.
