Those people didn't seem to be ordinary caravans, but military troops. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThere were three fires, each with a dozen or so soldiers sitting around it. Outside the fire, there were some stragglers sitting against trees, and even further out in the forest, which was difficult for ordinary people to find, but Li Yunxin could see clearly, there were also two open and two dark sentinels.

There were fifty or so people, and there were no flags or markings. According to the military system of Qingguo, this should be a team. Their armoured staff was also very simple—a bearded man by the fire was dressed in chain mail, and a leather helmet was placed on the ground beside him. Looking at him like this, he may be the leader of the team, the supreme commander of this small army.

There were five other people next to him, wearing cowhide soft armor, all of whom had not removed their armor and all had helmets. These five people should be the fire commanders -- a team of 50 people in the Qing army should set up a team, and a fire commander of 10 people should be set up in a fire. The rest of the soldiers wore only half-body armor of cooked cowhide on the upper half of their bodies, and wrapped their heads in green cloth. Some had spears, some had swords and shields, and five archers.

This team is well-equipped, attacking and retreating, and it can be regarded as a well-equipped elite soldier in this era.

Li Yunxin swept this information into his heart at a glance, and then saw nearly thirty horses in the forest on the periphery of the team. But not all of these horses seem to have been used for battle—except for the five legged horses, the rest were stocky bantams. They are not used for war, but for transporting goods. The goods were carried in burlap bags, which were now taken down and piled up in one place, guarded by two soldiers.

Li Yunxin realized that he must have bumped into a team transporting red clay to Tongtianze.

When he had entered the Red Rock Gorge before, he had seen some monsters wearing armor that was obviously much smaller. Those armors were probably the result of their plundering of passing armies.

Actually...... It's very intriguing.

The country is on the verge of leaving the country and celebrating the country. Liguo is the largest country in the world, and Qingguo is not small. He had heard that the military system in Qingguo was a conscription system -- the soldiers were all professional soldiers, and the number of troops was around 100,000. Now there is no war, if the emperors of Qingguo, Yeguo, and the country who left the country really want to plan for the Dao Tong and the Sword Sect, send out a mighty army of hundreds of thousands, and then use millions of people as backup support, it is said that this sweeping mountains, that is, the entire industry country can also achieve five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry.

But now, there is no human imperial army in the territory of these industrial countries, near the rolling mountains, and most of these small teams come and go in the mountains and forests...... Maybe the emperors didn't want to contribute to these things?

Or is it that the Xuanmen's control over the secular dynasty cannot be as commanding as an arm?

But these thoughts were only a spin in his mind. Li Yunxin decided to go with them. In addition to the reason I had thought about before, since this team was transporting red clay, they always had to contact the people of the Dao Sect Sword Sect. In fact, he could follow them to take a look at the "grassroots" -- to see the situation of the Xuanmen. The information obtained in this way will be much more reliable.

Or...... It was the circumstances of the team that reminded him of what seemed like many years had passed, even though it was only a few months ago.

He was still personal at that time.

So he sat down beside an old tree. Leaning against the tree, he tilted his head slightly and closed his eyes, as if he was napping. But I'm actually listening to them.

He wielded his supernatural powers, and the conversation between the team and the five fire captains was pulled away from the wind, the fire, and the human voices, and became clear across the distance.

He had been listening to this for nearly half an hour. During this period, the six officers only chatted intermittently, and occasionally got up to order the soldiers to pay attention to the night and be vigilant. When chatting, it is also about trivial things, such as saying that someone is sick in a certain fire, someone's leg is sick, someone looks homesick, and someone has a conflict with someone today.

It's all between soldiers, bits and pieces. But all six officers seemed familiar. In this era, he can be regarded as an out-and-out good commander who loves soldiers like sons.

Then they talked about their respective family affairs - whether they wanted their sons to join the army in the future or open a shop, and that so-and-so commanded a mother-in-law somewhere.

Li Yunxin should have been anxious and didn't want to hear it. Should have been anxious to hear something more useful to him that would give him a chance to blend in with the group.

But for some reason—perhaps it was Bai Yunxin's words that made him hesitate and distract him—slowly, a warm and tired feeling of comfort crept up on his body.

Suddenly I felt ...... Actually, it's good to listen to it.

Demons, monks, beating, killing, cannibalizing, scheming—he has been caught up in these things, roaming and going in the wilderness and in the wilderness, with killing in his eyes and wailing in his ears. This is his world, the world of demons and monks.

But there's another world. In that world, there were few strong people, and there were many reptilian weak people. But the world of these underdogs ...... It seems to be a little more vivid than the world of the strong. It was on such a night, listening to them talking, that the vivid and vivid world that had been lost for a long time slowly unfolded in front of Li Yunxin.

He sighed lowly and leaned more comfortably against the tree.

He knew that he might be in the midst of another catastrophe - a tribulation of the heart or an eon. He was broken and forgetful, so he began to have distracting thoughts and lust.

But it doesn't feel that bad.

After another quarter of an hour, the team - Li Yunxin had already known from their conversation that his name was Ding Min - sighed: "I have to walk for two or three days before I can go down the mountain." I don't know if we brothers can ......."

Speaking of this, he stopped, as if he didn't want to say unlucky words. The five fire chiefs beside him were also silent, and they were all speechless for a while. But after a few breaths, the captain still picked up a piece of wood and threw it into the fire, and couldn't help but say, "I...... Yesterday I received a book from a flying pigeon. ”

"Said that the Lord Xue and Deputy Commander Liu have already folded in the Red Stone Gorge. Ding Min paused again after saying this, "Deputy Commander Liu used to be kind to me. To this day, alas...... If you die, you won't die well. ”

The fire chiefs looked at each other and were speechless for a long time. After a while, a man named Xu Mou said, "...... It's unlikely, isn't it? Commander Xue and Deputy Commander Liu brought two battalions of people -- people from two battalions full of people......

Their team is compiled, with five fires as a team, fifty people, and a team is set up. The 10th team is a brigade with 500 people and a brigade commander. The second brigade is a battalion with 1,000 men and a commander. The three battalions are an army, 3,000 people, and there is a Yu Hou (hou, three sounds), or the army master. Xu Mou said that they brought two battalions of people, which meant that there were 2,000 people.

Two thousand professional soldiers, fully armed, well-trained, can guard one state and one capital in the country, and now the army has only been mobilized for five days...... It's gone?

And they all know that the reason why it is a team of 2,000 people is because the youngest son of General Chaoli is also going to Tongtianze.

The little marquis has been a seeker since he was a child. This time, I heard that the Taoist priest in Jinghua said that Yunshan, the scenic spot of Xuanmen, was going to fall, so he insisted on going to take a look, and maybe he could also learn from the immortals. General Li agreed to him, and specially sent an elite force to escort him - this team was carrying red clay fake, just to ensure that he was real.

I heard that he also brought a few great painters and a few Taoist priests with him...... Now it's all gone?

Ding Min shook his head and sneered: "It is said that only one or two hundred stragglers escaped, but it is not optimistic." We...... I haven't dealt with them before, but I should know what those things are, right? ”

"I heard that the little marquis is impatient to walk the mountain road like us. said that there are great painters and Taoist priests around him, and he is not afraid of ghosts and ghosts, and he can't wait to see and see how to subdue demons and eliminate demons. Two thousand people walked carefully in the Hongshi Gorge in a line, and the little marquis went out of Beijing to bring hundreds of cavalry. It turns out to be ...... in that kind of place."

They all jumped down from the cliffs on both sides, and rushed into the army, and when they landed, they were in chaos. How many people were trampled to death by hundreds of horses, and how many people were trampled to death by themselves...... Alas. I can't bear to think about it. ”

The fire chiefs were silent in the firelight. After a while, another fire chief asked, "Chief, are you ...... Have you really seen those things?"

"Met once. Ding Min pondered for a while and said, "When I was young, I just joined the army and was on the border. ”

"Stationed in a fort, the old man said that there is a Black Wind Mountain near the fort, and there is an old demon in the mountain. We don't believe it, we just think that the old demon he said is a beast or something. Then one night I saw it with my own eyes - and I jumped in from outside the wall. The two were tall, and they didn't know what clothes they were wearing. It was dark...... Its eyes were as bright as torches, and it was staring at me—"

Then he pounced and tore off the head of the pack horse next to me. The blood spurted all over my face. ”

Speaking of this and stopped. The fire chiefs listened to his story and just fell into a trance. At this time, he subconsciously asked: "...... And then what?"

Ding Min sighed: "Well, I'll be scared." When I woke up, I heard that the old demon had only dragged the horse away—and the others had seen it. I was also exempt from punishment. But, alas, is it possible for ordinary people to wring off a horse's head?"

Xu Mou looked at him in a daze: "Boss, you didn't ...... Haven't fought before?"

Ding Min raised his eyebrows: "I fought with that thing, can I still have my life? That's an old monster! At the time, it sounded like ...... I must have been very hungry in winter, so I came out to look for food. But the yang in the barracks was heavy, and he was afraid of harming the Taoist priests and swordsmen in the nearby city to kill it, so he only dragged the horse away. But now......"

Ding Min sighed heavily: "Now, it's different." ”

Li Yunxin opened his eyes and glanced at them. The old monster that Ding Min said and encountered in this team is probably just a little demon who has just transformed. In his eyes, he wasn't even a trash fish. But for ordinary people, it is indeed quite a difficult opponent - the physique is as strong as a huge beast, and there is wisdom, and maybe even magic magic.

When the five fire chiefs heard this, they didn't seem to know what to say. Naturally, the five of them had heard rumors of a youkai - who hadn't heard of it. (To be continued.) )
