The people who came to the rescue were the two of them. There are not many people in black, but the knife skills are very weird, but the two are still at ease, one of the brothers has a sharp palm, and the other has excellent swordsmanship, and the man in black can't resist it.

Zhang Yu suddenly saw a person's lips move slightly, and he heard a familiar sound "bang" again, a thick smoke rose, and the black-clothed man who was fighting disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

And the black-clothed man who was fighting with Ling Xiao was enveloped by his sword qi and had no time to retreat, Ling Xiao stabbed the man in the shoulder to retract his momentum, and grabbed the man's throat with his left hand. When the leading general saw that the man in black was missing again, he did not let go, but frowned even tighter.

He retracted his mind, hurriedly came to Ling Xiao and the others, bowed down and said, "Thank you two benevolent fathers for your help" Without waiting for them to reply, the general said angrily to the black-clothed man who was detained by Ling Xiao: "Who are you, and who are you instructed to chase after us and disrupt our army."

As he spoke, he was about to grab the neckline of the man in black, and just as he was about to reach out to hear a "hmm", the man in black lowered his head and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of blood. Ling Xiao sniffed and shook his head, "It's dead."

The general also felt helpless, turned his head to look at Zhang and Ling, and knew that they were from the rivers and lakes just by looking at their outfits, and he was grateful to the two. After talking, Ling Xiao learned the origin of this military horse.

It turned out that the team in front of him was the soldiers and horses of King Yan, and the mighty and tall general named Meng Yuan was ordered to escort 100,000 grains and grass to Dongchang to relieve King Yan. Grain and grass is the lifeblood of the army, and the matter is big, since it arrived in Ludong, he did not dare to take the big road, only looking for a small road, and it was so careful that his whereabouts were still discovered.

The day before yesterday, he met a group of men in black following the team, and was discovered by Meng Yuan in advance, he knew that grain and grass were a major matter of the military plane, and he must not be wrecked, but when he saw that the man in black did not do anything unusual, he ignored it for a while.

After only following more than 20 miles, the man in black suddenly rushed out of more than 50 people, and went straight to the grain truck, and the officers and soldiers struggled to resist and cut more than a dozen people.

Moreover, the black-clothed man was ruthless and ruthless, and after their sneak attack succeeded, they dissipated in the sky and earth like a cloud of smoke in an instant, coming and going without a trace.

In several battles of this size, the soldiers also lost one of the three, and Meng Yuan's deputy died tragically in the hands of the man in black, but fortunately, the grain and grass were rescued in time and did not suffer much loss, but it still destroyed nearly a thousand deniers of grain and grass, which is the lifeblood of the people, and it is the lifeblood of the soldiers' march.

Meng Yuan gritted his teeth angrily, he couldn't sleep at night, he couldn't sleep well, he didn't want to come here under the blue sky and white sun again, but fortunately he was bumped into by the Ling Xiao brothers, which reduced unnecessary losses.

After hearing this, the two of them understood, Ling Xiao thought to himself, "This man in black and the man in black last night are really the same force, the man in black intervened in the battle between the two armies, it seems that they have a great plan" So he said: "General Meng, do you know where these people come from..."

That Meng Yuan waved his hand and sighed: "At first, I thought it was some green forest bandits, robbing grain and grass, who knew that this group of people acted in a completely different style from the bandits, they didn't want grain and grass, and they covered their heads and faces, this is not the style of Xiangma at all."

Ling Xiao thought to himself: "This person seems to be rude, but there is a lot of finesse, it seems that this group of people is really not an ordinary thief."

I only heard Meng Yuan say again: "These people's whereabouts are secretive, they come and go like the wind, and they don't know when they will come out, and the soldiers are all frightened, and our grain route is only known to me and the general, and I don't know where they came from to find out the news to rob the grain and grass, fortunately, there are many of us, otherwise..."

Ling Xiao admired Meng Yuan's opinion a little, he could think of this, it could be seen that this person must be extraordinary, otherwise he would not have sent him to escort grain and grass. Ling Xiao said: "General Meng's guess is right, I can't hide that I came here last night for these people..."

Meng Yuan also had respect for Ling Xiao's skills, and after a little calculation, he hugged his fists and smiled: "I know that the two young heroes are from the rivers and lakes, and Meng also has dealings with many heroes in the rivers and lakes. Since I have the fate to meet here today, the young general has a reluctant request, and I hope that the two young heroes can agree."

Ling Xiao also guessed in his heart when he heard this, he also wanted to find out the origin of the man in black, and there was still a month before He Yunxian's birthday, so he was not in a hurry, and raised his eyebrows and said: "General Meng has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, although we are in the rivers and lakes, after all, we are my sons of the Ming Dynasty, if there is a useful place, my two brothers should be duty-bound."

After speaking, he nodded at Zhang Yu, although Zhang Yu had a lot of guilt for the officers and soldiers, but when he heard that King Yan's army was a division of benevolence and righteousness, he nodded slightly to show his approval, and Meng Yuan was overjoyed to see this.

Everyone rested for a while, reorganized their soldiers and horses and continued to move forward, heading towards Dongchang Mansion, but they had nothing to do for a day, neither met the southern officers and soldiers, nor did the group of black-clothed people come to disturb them again. Ling Xiao and the others knew that food and grass were very important, and they also did their best to guard in shifts, so Meng Yuan was grateful.

When the season of the cold winter wax moon, the weather is changeable, and after walking for two days, a strong wind suddenly blows, blowing on the face like a knife, and the flag blows crookedly, and people can't open their eyes for a while, and tears can't stop flowing down.

Meng Yuan also complained constantly, scolding God for having no eyes, so that the march was less than eighty miles a day, when could he reach Dongchang Mansion like this, Meng Yuan could only be in a hurry, and the dark wind gradually subsided.

Arrange to bury the pot on the spot to cook, set up camp, and occasionally hear the wailing and crying of soldiers at night, presumably because he was suffering from the wind and cold outside and was about to miss home on the edge of the year, Meng Yuan, as a general, sympathized with his soldiers and felt helpless.

On this day, when I arrived at the "plain" of Ludong, the sky was not beautiful in the afternoon, and there was even goose feather snow, but in just one hour, the snow-white soldiers on the mountains rubbed shoulders one by one.

The face that was originally blown by the wind like tree bark, at this time walking in the wind and snow, it is more like being coated with a thick layer of brown powder, and the steps are faster and slower, one foot deep and one foot shallow, fortunately, the body can also be passed in the activity, but if you walk like this, the body will be tired and exhausted.

The Zhang Yu brothers rode a high-headed horse, and the cold was not to be feared on them, and the snowflakes were melted away by the true qi intentionally or unintentionally, but the clothes were soaked by the heat around them, which made people feel irritable. Seeing the plight of the soldiers, they also sympathized with themselves.

Meng Yuan's face was also red from the cold, and his legs on the horse were already numb from the cold, so he had no choice but to walk like a soldier.

Meng Yuan comforted loudly as he walked: "The soldiers have worked hard, and their physical activities will not feel particularly cold, let's rest for a while in the woods ahead" and hugged his fists to Zhang and Ling brothers: "The two young heroes can't stand it, suddenly the sky changes, we are helpless, thank you young heroes for still escorting our army in such a bad environment, and I will give you a reward for seeing the prince."

Ling Xiao jumped off the horse and waved his hand and said: "Hey, what did General Meng say, the prince has a way, it is the blessing of the people, how dare my brothers and I do this little bit of strength" When Meng Yuan heard this, he felt that the two of them were not arrogant or impatient, and secretly admired it in his heart.

While a few people were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of them. Meng Yuanxin said: "This road is the main road of our army's grain and grass, and ordinary people will not come here..." Thinking of this section, in the blink of an eye, the sound of horses' hooves in front of him was approaching, and Meng Yuan exclaimed: "Who is coming."
