Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Ten teenagers had strings tied around their right wrists, connected in a string, separated by more than a foot from each other, and walked back along the old road, even Fangfang did not get preferential treatment, she walked at the back, sobbing in a low voice, and in front of her was Xiaoqiu.

She was not the only one crying, under the infection of the bald man, more than half of the teenagers had tears on their faces, they could never have imagined that a flight would cause such a big trouble.

The Xuanfu Army is even more terrifying than the legend, they are adults, the taller they appear on the horse, they are equipped with long swords and shields, and occasionally collide, and the sound makes the teenagers' hearts tremble.

The only one who had ever made a voice was obviously the leader, only he had a red silk ribbon tied around his waist and a ribbon of the same color draped diagonally from his right shoulder.

The Xuanfu Army obviously did not choose the leader according to the head, because this person was the shortest of the eleven soldiers, but this did not affect his ruthlessness at all, and it was under his orders that the teenagers were tied with thin strings around their wrists and walked between the two groups of soldiers in front and behind like prisoners.

The listlessness on the return trip, especially the second bolt, was his idea to take the path, but he was arrested in less than a day, he regretted it very much, if he did it again, he felt that he should force his partners to rush overnight, instead of stopping to eat and rest, or simply escort Xiaoqiu and Fangfang back to Yelin Town. Looking at those Xuanfu Army who were all black, Er Shuo was more inclined to the latter option, but unfortunately he couldn't choose again.

"My dad will save me, he was the official he reported, right?" Er Bolt whispered, giving himself a little confidence and comforting his partner behind him.

"It's not a big sin for us, is it?" stunned Zizi walked behind the second bolt and asked with a crying voice, "Let's just talk about it...... Let's just say that Xiaoqiu forced us into the forest. ”

"You don't need to, just convince my dad to ...... I can do it, you don't have to worry. Although Er Shu regretted helping Xiaoqiu, he didn't think about betraying him at this time.

Leng Zi nodded frustratedly, "Daddy must kill me, don't ......"

The frustration immediately infected the whole team, and the bald man cried so much that his shoulders kept shaking, one foot deep and one foot shallow, barely able to keep up with the person in front of him, "I don't want to go into the cell, I ...... I want to pee. ”

"No sound. The officer of the Xuanfu Army spoke again, he was obviously a very stern man, he stopped on horseback on the side of the road, and watched the little prisoners pass by one by one, and under his order, the teenagers even became cautious about breathing.

Xiao Qiu glanced up as he walked over, the panic in his heart had disappeared, and he had regained his ability to observe, and suddenly there was a feeling that this officer with a cold voice didn't seem to be much.

The officer's face was hidden behind the helmet, and now Xiaoqiu actually dared to look up and raised his horsewhip menacingly.

Xiao Qiu was even more sure that the officer was not an adult, he was surprised, how could a child be qualified to command ten heavily armed Xuanfu soldiers? Then, he began to think about an escape plan.

The jujube red horse is still there, meekly following behind, as long as he can untie the rope and ride on the horse with Fangfang, he may be able to get rid of the pursuit of the soldiers, Xiaoqiu's plan has always been simple, he still doesn't plan to ask anyone for help.

The opportunity to untie the rope was not long in coming.

Two hours later, the group returned to the official road, and the teenagers were surprised to see that they had walked for most of the day yesterday, but had not actually entered the forest far.

The officer decided to stop and rest.

One of the sergeants took off his helmet and showed a resolute face that had been through the vicissitudes of life, "My lord, let's continue on our journey, and in any case, we have to return to the Little Ear Fort before dark." ”

The officer did not speak, did not take off his helmet, and stubbornly stared at the soldier who dared to disagree, as if greatly offended.

The veteran's face was slightly red, but he still insisted on his opinion, this was his duty, he lowered his voice slightly, and lowered his head a little, "Master Fu reminded me that it is not safe here, and it is not advisable to stay for a long time, and the Taoist priest I met yesterday also said......"

"Oh, I know, and I know more, don't worry, the demon seed doesn't dare to show up in broad daylight, even if it really comes out, can't we defeat it with the Xuanfu Army of the Western Jieguo?"

The teenagers were amused when they heard the veterans say that this place was "unsafe", the biggest "devil" in Yelin Town was their group of children, who were as honest as chickens in the hands of the Xuanfu Army, where did they come from?

The veteran gave in and nodded at the other soldiers, indicating that they could rest.

The soldiers were delighted, dismounted, lifted their helmets, ate the dry rations and water they had brought with them, and took turns to go to the back of the jungle to excrete, saying nothing to each other, as if very jealous of the short officer, and doing their best to show the stern manners of the soldier before him.

The officer did not dismount, but looked down at the prisoners he caught, as if they were heinous traitors.

The bald man was shaking, Xiaoqiu plucked up his courage, raised his head and said loudly to the officer, "I want to pee." ”

"I want it too. The bald man endured it for a long time, and even the fear of going to prison could not stop this feeling. A string of prisoners made the same appeal, and Erliang even wanted a piece of dry food, and watching others eat was a torture for him.

"No noise. The officer said sternly.

The teenagers didn't dare to be presumptuous, only Xiaoqiu still stared at the officer, "The prisoner also has to go to the thatched house, we can't hold it anymore." ”

The officer was silent for a while, "Others can take turns, but you can't." ”

"Why?" asked Akira in surprise, he still wanted to take this opportunity to escape from the ropes and carry out his escape plan.

"Because you have sinned severely. ”

Xiao Qiu was furious, the Xuanfu army around him was not as majestic and tall as it seemed at first glance, and he had already regained his stubborn temper, "Fangfang is unwilling to marry into the Shen family, this is also a crime?

The officer snorted disdainfully, "The marriage of a folk woman, Xijieguo doesn't care, you, it was you who let go of fourteen official horses and stole one, this is a felony." ”

Xiaoqiu opened his mouth wide, the horses he grazed belonged to the Shen family, and he didn't know that the Shen family was raising horses for the government.

The other teenagers breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and they were stunned and immediately said what they thought in their hearts, "It turned out to be for the official horse, then it was none of our business, the horse was let go by Xiaoqiu." ”

"You are accomplices. The officer was not polite at all, "also to be punished." ”

The word "punishment" is not often heard, and the teenagers are frightened, and they would rather accept the "lesson" and "clean up", but they dare not imagine how terrible the "punishment" will be. The two soldiers began to untie the ropes for the prisoners at the officer's signal, only Xiaoqiu was still tied and stayed in the line of sight of the Xuanfu Army.

When it was Fangfang's turn, she shook her head and refused to let go of the rope, still connected to Xiaoqiu.

Xiaoqiu's first plan failed before it could be implemented, and he had to think again.

"What are the demon seeds? Are you so scared? We have all kinds of them in Wild Forest Town, but we've never heard of them. ”

The officer snorted again, not expecting that the prisoner was so bold as to dare to question him, he refused to answer, but ordered: "Tie him a little tighter." A soldier walked over and pulled the rope on Xiaoqiu's right wrist tighter, not stopping until he was strangled by the meat. "And her. The officer pointed at Fang Fang with his horsewhip.

"What's the matter with her?" Xiaoqiu stood in front of Fangfang.

"Because your mouth is not honest. The officer enjoyed his authority, and there was a hint of pride in his voice, "It's just a little punishment." ”

The soldier pushed Xiaoqiu away and tied the rope around Fangfang's wrist even tighter. The man's strength was a little too great, and Fang Fang screamed softly. Xiaoqiu glared at the officer, but didn't dare to speak anymore.

The teenagers who went to the jungle to relieve themselves came back 6, and the officer silently counted, "There is still one left." ”

The stunned man pointed to the jungle in fear, "Bald, he ...... He's. ”

The officer turned his head disdainfully, the vulgar language of the young man in the border town sounded extremely harsh to him, but after waiting for a while, the last prisoner still did not come out, he was a little impatient, "Tell him to come out and leave immediately." ”

"Bald. The stunned man shouted.

"Bald!" the second bolt raised his voice.

It was around noon, and the branches hung low, and even the insects were too tired to make a sound, and the jungle was silent.

The officer was annoyed and said, "Arrest the prisoner and give him five lashes." ”

"Bald, get out of here. The teenagers shouted together, hoping that he would have time to escape the whipping.

A soldier strode into the jungle, unhappy about the mission, and even without the officer's order, he wanted to teach the boy a hard lesson.

The soldiers entered the jungle, and the shaking of the branches quickly stopped, but no sound came from inside.

The teenagers looked at each other, and the bald man was so bold that it was really beyond their expectations.

The Xuanfu Army had another idea, and the nine soldiers drew their swords almost simultaneously, and took their shields from their horses, and stood side by side, facing the jungle.

The officer seemed to have seen this kind of formation for the first time, and with a little nervousness, he grabbed the reins and turned his horse around, "Two more people." ”

The two soldiers were ordered to set off, cautiously step-by-step, seven or eight paces apart, and had just taken a few steps before they stopped. A small face peeked out of the jungle trees, and it was the prisoner who refused to come out.

The bald man looked at everyone with a smile, didn't speak, just kept nodding, as if he was beckoning his partner to come over and watch something funny, that look of disapproval, he didn't take the Xuanfu soldiers seriously at all.

This is not the bald man that teenagers remember.

When the officer saw the person, he panicked and became angry, "Don't you want to live if you are a bold criminal?"

The veteran turned his head and said to the officer: "Something is wrong, be careful......"

The two soldiers in front continued to approach the jungle, holding a shield in their left hand and a long sword in their right hand, as if they were facing a great enemy.

The bald man was still smiling, nodding his head more often, and he was encouraging the soldiers to approach.

The two soldiers disappeared rather suddenly, as if they had been pulled by something, and threw themselves into the jungle with open arms, their swords and shields falling to the ground.

"Beast demon!" said one of the soldiers, and without waiting for the officer's order, the soldiers immediately sprang into action, struck their swords and shields, and approached the jungle with neat steps, not at the grinning bald man, but at a dozen paces away from him.

Behind them, the officer reined in his horse and retreated, and after a few steps he composed, and also drew his long sword and raised his oval shield, but did not dare to advance.

The teenagers in Yelin Town didn't understand the meaning of the beast demon too much, it was obviously a bald man who everyone was familiar with, and they had just been in the jungle, where did the "monster" come from?

Xiao Qiu's heart was shocked, and he suddenly remembered the reminder of the Taoist priest by the bridge - stay away from demons.

Just when the teenagers were not sure, the demon really appeared, and a huge snake head appeared from the jungle, it obviously knew that its whereabouts had been exposed, so it gave up its tricks and wanted to directly confront the soldiers of the Xuanfu Army.

The snake's head hung high in the air, its yellow eyes looking down on humans, and the two giant teeth in its palate were almost as long and as sharp as the sword of the Xuanfu Army.

The moment she stared, Xiao Qiu felt that she saw a green light flashing in the snake's eyes.
