Chapter Seventy-Three: The Rise and Fall of the People Suffers
The wind is high and the autumn is seer, and the wild goose is alone over the desolate mountain. The old green will be gone, and only the red leaves will be left all over the ground...
Xie Yu and his entourage were led by Xiong Bo and shuttled through the mountain rivers...
Xie Yu rode his horse in a hurry, closely following Uncle Xiong, who was a foot away in front of him.
Wang Yun and more than a dozen anti-thieves followed closely behind, and beside him was the frame of Mr. Qin's strategy.
Because of the previous battle with the Blue Sky Dead, their horses suffered heavy losses.
And because the place where he met with the reinforcements was contrary to the direction of Uncle Xiong's guidance.
Therefore, with a wave of his hand, Wang Yun sent those subordinates who had no horses to ride to join the reinforcements.
More than ten horses galloped on the Liangchuan Plain, non-stop, feet non-stop... Just to bring the news back to Luoyi as soon as possible.
Along the way, there are no people, only horse bones and human heads everywhere, which is chilling.
But there was no time to sigh, Xie Yu sighed in his heart... Since childhood, although I have learned from my husband, I have endured hardships, but how can that kind of physical hardship compare to the tragic situation in front of me? How many parents should cry, children lose their fathers, and wives are waiting for their husbands to return in front of the door?
Although I don't know what this blue sky is about, I can see the scene in front of me... Who is not angry in his heart?... Xie Yu gritted his teeth, and secretly determined in his heart to find out the culprit and correct the law.
The horse's hooves raise red leaves and gravel, and smoke and dust all the way... Then they came to the mountain pass called Phorudo.
When he arrived, Uncle Xiong stopped at his horse... Raise one hand on your forehead to block the sun and widen your field of vision.
"Phew!"
Xie Yu hurriedly pulled the reins, and the horse immediately received the order from the person on the seat, and his four hooves clung to the ground... Inertia pushes the horse iron to rub against the ground... For a while, the sand was flying.
"How's that ahead?"
Xie Yu believed in Uncle Xiong's ability, so he asked what the situation was ahead.
"You can't go this way... This place is too close to Liangguan, I'm afraid that the enemy scout cloth and eyeliner are here... We're going to go around. ”
Uncle Xiong turned his head, then pointed to the distant mountain.
Xie Yu didn't understand what he meant, and followed the direction that the other person was pointing to, but he didn't see anything.
"What's wrong?" Xie Yu asked.
"A couple of scouts just patrolled there. Uncle Xiong smiled and pointed to his eyes. "I have been practicing with my father since I was a child... I'm ashamed to say that I'm young and lazy, and I only have one or two of my father's martial arts... But even so, I still practiced these eagle eyes... They can make it possible to see things hundreds of meters away. ”
"Oh?" Xie Yu didn't reply, and Wang Yun opened his mouth. "But totem?"
"Yes. Uncle Xiong nodded, nothing coincidental.
"Is your father under the command of the original commander of Beizhonglang?" asked Wang Yun curiously.
"Could it be that Wang Siwei is too?" Uncle Xiong was a little surprised. "My father is the personal guard of the original commander of the North Middle Lang. ”
"I may know your father's name?" Wang Yun asked excitedly, with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Hahaha, my father's surname is Xiong, and the two characters know the machine..."
"Xiong..."Wang Yun, who still had a look in his eyes, changed his face and muttered in his mouth. "It turns out that Brother Xiong is your father, is he okay?"
"That old guy is in good health... I ate more than I did in one meal. Uncle Bear thought something strange in his heart, but he didn't think much of it, smiled, and then pulled out a roll of parchment from the side pocket of the horse... It's a map.
Xiong Bo spread out the map, rode his horse to Xie Yu's side, and made a comparison on the map: "Now the enemy and us are still preparing for war in Liangguan and Wuguan, and we will walk from Huolu Mountain... Bypass Liangchuan, follow the trail, and go straight to Luoyi... To avoid them, I'm familiar with this path... There are no water sources, and there are few people along the way... That's not too far. ”
Xie Yu followed the route guided by Uncle Xiong, listened and thought, and finally nodded.
They set off right away... Starry night, dare not slack off.
...
And so on the third day, the riders could not resist the sleepiness.
After running for three days in a row, the horses couldn't stand it anymore... Seeing this, Xie Yu also had to agree to stop and rest.
Originally, the deadline was to rush to Luoyi in three days, but it took an extra day to make a detour... But even if you're anxious, there's no better way, is there?
"There's a village ahead, and I have some acquaintance with an elder in that place, why don't you go there and settle down?" Xiong Bo pointed ahead and said to Xie Yu.
"Oh?" Xie Yu was slightly surprised.
"Hahaha, I saved his daughter. Uncle Xiong was slightly embarrassed and touched his head. "Before... Don't mention it. ”
"I see. Xie Yu understood and smiled. "My Fair Lady. ”
"You... Don't talk nonsense. Uncle Xiong glared at Xie Yu, and immediately turned around and led everyone to this village.
Xie Yu smiled, this Uncle Xiong's heart, he admired it very much, arrogant but not impatient... Pure Heart.
It's all the way again...
"There's something wrong here!
Just as the group of people was getting closer and closer to the village guided by Xiong Bo, Wang Yun suddenly shouted... caused Xie Yu to get off the horse in shock, Xie Yu couldn't help but shake, and almost fell off the horse.
"What's wrong?" Xie Yu asked back.
"The smell of blood here is extremely strong!" Wang Yun frowned and said solemnly.
"Bloody?" Xie Yu wondered, he didn't smell anything... When he looked back at Uncle Xiong who was leading the way, he was nowhere to be found.
"Hey... Come on. Wang Yun sighed, clamped his legs, and immediately rode his horse forward... Xie Yu was stunned, and also rode his horse to follow.
...
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang!" shouted Uncle Xiong as he galloped through the village... But the village was surprisingly quiet, and not even one of them came out of the house to respond, and it was not as lively as when he first came, which made Uncle Xiong's heart even more anxious. "Uncle Wang, Qiu Niang, where are you?"
He drove down to the door of the king's house... Before the horse could pause, he rolled over, crossed the front yard, and smashed open the rotten wooden door... Come into the house.
When the door opened, the dust kicked up and the smell of blood came to the nostrils.
Uncle Xiong's pupils contracted violently at the same time... He didn't care to cover his mouth and nose, and he let the dust ingest into his mouth... Rush into the house immediately.
And then there was silence... Panic... Resentment... Bellow!
The house was a mess, with the remains of tables and chairs scattered on the ground in pieces.
The wooden cabinet was also overturned to the ground... There are still a few moldy steamed buns on the ground, scattered not far from the dishes and chopsticks.
Uncle Wang knelt by the wall and sat at the head of the bed... His eyes were open, and his eyes were full of fear, anger and unwillingness... A long knife was running through his abdomen, clinging to the edge of the wooden bed.
And on the bed behind him... A woman was lying on her side, her clothes torn by something... Wheat-colored skin exposed to the air... She was clutching a rag in her hand... Her eyes were not closed, and humiliation was written in them ...
There was a big gap in her neck... The blood has long since dried up into a clump ... Attached to the wooden bed under him.
The edge of the gap is extremely irregular, and there are obvious tooth marks, which have been torn open...
...
