Volume 2 Thunder Chapter 5 Returning to the West and Looking North

At that time, he fled through the back door, and Zhao Wuan only climbed half of the hill and did not go far. Now moving forward according to the old road, the grass under his feet is overgrown, and he is indescribably desolate.

Both of them traveled very fast, and they arrived in the back cave in a moment, but fortunately, An Qing and Qingniang were still safe. The "Luo Shen Early Warning Sword Box" prepared by Zhao Wu'an did not come in handy.

Zhao Wu'an, who had a false alarm, carried the sword box back to his body, and his face suddenly became very relaxed, but no matter how closely he looked at An Qing's face, he knew that he couldn't avoid being slandered by her.

Seeing the safe and sound young lady again, Xu Rong was obviously greatly relieved, and hugged her tightly in his arms despite being covered in blood.

The weak woman struggled slightly in his arms, and seeing Xu Rong's resolute attitude, a shy look appeared on his face, she no longer resisted, closed her eyes, and gently snuggled into his arms, with teardrops on her eyelashes.

Xu Rong obviously knew very well that now was not the time for children to grow up, and only a moment later, he let go of the young lady with a resolute face, and explained the situation in the hotel under the mountain in a deep voice.

"It's too bloody and dangerous, so it's better not to go into the two girls' house. What's more, the dozens of surviving brothers of our Feique battalion are all pursuing the enemy, and I don't know if they will stray into danger, so it is imperative to inform the main battalion to avoid the lack of information between the various armies, and the result will be broken one by one. ”

Zhao Wu'an felt a little uneasy for no reason, "Ambushing you here, do you think it's the handiwork of the Miao people?"

"Otherwise, who else would do this on this border?" Xu Rong obviously didn't expect Zhao Wu'an to ask, "The attack on and killing our sergeant in the mountain hotel is already the most obvious signal of declaration of war. It's just a bandit and a robber, but they won't go into the store and kill people without saying a word. ”

Xu Rong's words are indeed beyond reproach, although Guangnan is chaotic, there will never be dozens of big devils who kill people without blinking for no reason. The biggest possibility is actually that the Miao people entered the country to declare war.

But not long ago, Dailou Duyun had just succeeded as King Miao, and the top of the Sinin Lotus Pagoda of Jiuda Temple also made it clear to Zhao Wu'an, and the current Dailou Duyun was only afraid that he was busy with internal affairs, so how could he have the spare strength to challenge the Great Song Dynasty?

couldn't think through this stubble, Zhao Wuan still didn't dare to trust others after all.

"How far is the main camp of the Feique Camp you are talking about?" No one spoke left and right, and An Qing was also a fearless character, so she asked Xu Rong directly.

Xu Rong was also unambiguous, and said bluntly: "One hundred and sixty miles to the west, now ride a fast horse at full speed, and you can arrive before dusk." ”

An Qing and Zhao Wu'an glanced at each other, both of them comprehended, and when they turned to look at Xu Rong, their expressions were particularly helpless.

Zhao Wu'an looked at Xu Rongyao and said, "I'm really sorry, we have something important to do, and within ten days, we have to go to Miaojiang." ”

Hearing this, Xu Rong also became strange: "Oh? It is an ambiguous juncture, what kind of person is Your Excellency, and you actually want to go to Miaojiang alone?"

Originally, a pair of young men and women went to Miaojiang, no matter how you look at it, it is not very reasonable, although they don't plan to walk with others anymore, but along the way, it is inevitable to talk to others, so Zhao Wu'an has already prepared a set of rhetoric.

He said without hurry: "It's a shame to say that my father came to Miaojiang to do business in the early days, and he strayed into the trap of poisonous insects and never returned. My generation has grown up now, and I always can't bear to think that my biological father's bones have not returned, so this time I don't hesitate to take my sister to Miaojiang, and I want to bring back my father's remains. ”

Xu Rong nodded, with a look of regret on his face.

Then Xu Rong can only wish the two of them a safe journey. When Pingshui meets, there is nothing to give, Xu Rong only has a love here, a hundred turns, and it will never be erased. ”

Zhao Wu'an said solemnly: "Chengjun Jiyan." ”

The young lady standing next to Xu Rong also said gently: "The little girl will definitely wear three incense sticks in the morning and evening, and pray to the heavens for the safety of the two sons." ”

Xu Rong gently tightened the strength in his hand, held Qing Niang's hand firmly, turned his face to look at her, and said lightly: "Qing Niang, this time, you have to go back to the barracks with me for whatever you say." There may be a lot of suffering, but I, Xu Rong, ......"

Qing Niang's face flushed with a hint of red, lowered her head, and interrupted softly: "There is no need to say it. Follow your path, and don't count any hardships. ”

Xu Rong's eyes were full of affection: "Qing Niang ......"

Zhao Wu'an couldn't help but smile bitterly, pulled An Qing, shook his hands, and bowed to Xu Rongchang leisurely: "Then we will say goodbye first." ”

Xu Rong also came back to his senses suddenly, and nodded at Zhao Wu'an hurriedly: "Zhao Jushi's trip is dangerous, don't be careless." ”

"Naturally. ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Bidding farewell to Xu Rong, he led the horse back to the road from the Barren Mountain Hotel, bypassing a low mountain, Zhao Wu'an temporarily handed over the horse to An Qing to lead, and he turned back to the store again. It wasn't until the sunset that I returned to the intersection leisurely.

An Qing, who was waiting for her sore legs and feet, complained a little: "What are you going to do, it took so long?"

"Xu Rong rushed back to Feique Camp to report the news, it must have been non-stop, I just buried those brothers for him. ”

There was a hint of exhaustion in Zhao Wu'an's voice. After going back and forth in the pile of corpses for a long time, he was inevitably stained with dust and blood when he was dressed in white, and he looked dusty, as if he had returned from a desolate battlefield.

"Why don't you ask me to come with you to help?" An Qing sighed hatefully.

Zhao Wu'an raised his lazy eyebrows and glanced at her, "Don't say how strong you are, I'm afraid that you will have to retch for a while when you see that scene." ”

An Qing scratched her cheek angrily, and finally snorted, turned her face to the side, and led the horse to walk as fast as she could.

Zhao Wu'an fell lazily behind, and he didn't intend to play any game with her, just quietly looked at the back of An Qing leading the horse away under the sunset, and a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Laughing and smiling, he still frowned when he remembered the tragedy in the hotel.

The Miao people are very similar to the Khitan people, and they have always been the king of the winners, which is not consistent with the inheritance model of the Central Plains that respects the bloodline.

Although Dai Lou Duyun is strong, he is young and king, and it will be difficult to convince the public, so he will take some vigorous and resolute measures to stabilize the internal affairs, and will not take any big moves until the country is completely stabilized. Otherwise, when he was in Jiuda Temple, Dailou Duyun, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, would not blindly retreat in the face of Zhao Wu'an's edge.

Just as Zhao Wu'an's superficial understanding of Miao Jiang is concerned, except for King Miao, the most respected person in the clan is Wu Xian, who is in charge of large and small sacrifices. However, although Wu Xian's prestige was high, there was no one to directly command him, let alone send troops north to harass the Song army scouts.

So which force does such a round-armored chain army come from?

"You go faster! You are still so slow and slow, you can't see anyone until dark!" An Qing yelled at him in front.

Zhao Wuxin sighed secretly, and didn't care about these senseless things for the time being. After all, today's sudden attack on the hotel is at most a grudge between the Great Song Dynasty and Miao Jiang, and Zhao Wu'an went to Miao this time purely to find Dai Lou Duyun to make a settlement.

The relationship between the two countries has nothing to do with him.

Zhao Wu'an hurried to catch up with An Qing, turned over on the horse's back, bent down and pulled An Qing up, protected him in front of him, and unfolded the map from his waist without hurry, checking the surrounding scenery one by one.

"The Feique battalion that Xu Rong said is one hundred and sixty miles west of this place, and it should be the troops belonging to Yongzhou. It is very close to the Miaojiang Royal Court, and it is indeed the most important thing in the frontier. If you want to declare war, you should indeed pull out the nail of Yongzhou first. ”

"Since it's closer to the royal court, why don't we go with him?" An Qing was puzzled.

"Miao Jiang is said to be subordinate to the Great Song Dynasty, but the voice of resistance in the territory has been rising over the years, so the border has also been clearly demarcated. If we directly clear the customs and enter the seedlings, not to mention the cumbersome procedures, it is very likely that there will be changes halfway. ”

Throughout the ages, when I went out to travel, I took the big road, lived in a big store, spent more silver, and did not show yellow and white, but I wanted to keep a peace.

The art master is bold, but Zhao Wu'an just wants to pick a small road, from the south of Miaojiang and then to the west, and go straight to the royal court of Shi'an Mansion in Yunzhou, and he was caught off guard.

Xiaolu must be harassed by many thieves and bandits, and the people of Pingtou are complaining about it, but it is not a threat to Zhao Wu'an. However, there are many people on the road, and it is almost impossible to hide their whereabouts, always guarding against attacks in the shadows, and when they arrive at the royal court, they have already become the end of a strong crossbow.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Zhao Wu'an did not hesitate to take a long detour to enter Miaojiang. If there are poisonous grasses, insects and snakes along the way, it will not hurt him, just take care of An Qing.

However, the attack on such a small country shop was indeed unexpected for him.

"After such a fuss today, it is impossible to get to that small shop before dark, and most of them have to sleep in the wilderness. Zhao Wu'an said lazily.

An Qing suddenly became nervous: "There won't be wolves, right?"

"How is that possible?"

"That's good......" An Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"At most, it's some poisonous snakes, toads, yellow-backed hundred-legged and so on. Zhao Wu'an disagreed.

"Wow, it's really fake!" An Qing shrank back in horror.

Zhao Wu'an chuckled, tightened the reins with his hand, and continued to urge the horse forward.

"What are you lying about?"

"I'm not going to Miaojiang!!"

"It's all here, you told me not to go?"

"Wow, ah, I'm going home......"

Nearing one’s end.

The kite is too high in the valley.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

The market is still bustling and crowded during the day, but after sunset, it suddenly becomes empty and deserted.

She walked past here with her sword in hand. A long street, three or two old trees.

The cinnabar mole in the center of the eyebrows was already dim, and a hazy mist gradually rose under the eyes, but a lonely white robe seemed to be stained with blood in an instant.

She exclaimed, took a step back, and her gaze fell directly on a well beside her. However, it was getting late, and Qing Shui couldn't reflect her shape.

The long sword in his hand clanged softly.

"The little butler of Willow Leaf Villa is not dead yet. ”

Hearing this, she shuddered and turned to look behind her.

The wide street had somehow been shrouded in fog, hazy and deep, as if it was about to press against her.

In the blink of an eye, the entire city of Fuzhou became a prison.

Xiao Daogu subconsciously wanted to lift the sword in her hand and put on the starting hand style that she had learned on the first day of entering Kunlun Mountain, but she found that her other hand was tightly grasped in the corner of the Taoist robe, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't let go.

In the mist, the remnant eyebrows of the Black Cloud Society slowly walked out. She was surrounded by scarlet energy, and her eyebrows and eyes were sharp, as if she had staggered out of the darkness of hell.

"There are a total of thirty-seven people in Xinhe Village, and you killed them all. But at that time, the little butler was also in the village, why did you let him go?" Remnant Mei smiled coldly, "The helmsman's order, shouldn't you listen to it now?"

"I don't have anything to remind you, that young man is the vein of the broken bones of the Three Mountains, if he is allowed to melt the broken bones and form the sea of qi before the age of twenty-seven, it will be a step to the sky. At that time, what will he think of you, don't you know, little Tumi?"

The night is as cold as frost, and the sky and the earth are cold.

Tu Mi stood in the empty city of Fuzhou, like falling into an ice cave.
