Outside Sheephorn Ridge, Cheng Kun and Zheng Lei found an open space to camp.

In the evening, Cheng Kun went out for a while in the middle of the fire, and when he came back, he was holding a rabbit in one hand, the neck had been broken, and he was out of breath.

He took out his knife and peeled off the rabbit skin and set it aside, and cut the rabbit meat into small pieces and threw it into the pot. The water had already been boiled inside, and he asked people to go to the neighborhood to pick some wild vegetables and put them in the pot together. When cooked through, simply sprinkle with some salt. In this way, a simple pot of rabbit meat and wild vegetable soup is ready.

The aroma of rabbit meat wafted out, making these soldiers swallow a mouthful of saliva. They are busy on the road these days, and they don't care about anything else, and when they are hungry, they eat some dry food that they bring with them. At this time, I smelled the aroma of meat, and I couldn't help it.

Cheng Kun filled a few bowls of broth and sent it over to a few seriously injured people first.

These wounded were all wounds from knives and arrows, as long as they were not critically injured, they could be bandaged and put on some medicine, which did not affect their movements.

But the seriously wounded were bleeding a lot because of their arteries, and they were so weak that they could only lie in their tents. Therefore, Cheng Kuncai deliberately hit the rabbit, just to supplement some nutrition for a few people.

The rest of the ones were divided among everyone. Although each person could only drink a small bowl, they were satisfied.

The hot broth reached my stomach and warmed my body. Cheng Kun's men and Zheng Lei's cavalry sat around drinking soup and talking about the daytime battle.

The thought of the brothers who died in the battle made everyone resentful. The gang gritted their teeth and swore that the next time they encountered the Huns, they would avenge the dead brothers.

The morale that had been a little low because the mission was blocked has also returned.

Zheng Lei hid to the side and watched Cheng Kun's actions silently, admiring from the bottom of his heart.

When an army fights, the most important thing is the morale of the soldiers. Although Cheng Kun only cooked a pot of soup, he successfully stimulated the morale of the soldiers, and the effect can be said to be surprisingly good. This is something that even many people who are old enough to fight can't do.

Soon after eating, Deng Xiaoxian and Xiang Feng returned, followed by twenty cavalry and thirty servants from Bai'an County.

Zheng Lei was overjoyed to see it.

He had been worried about not having enough manpower to deliver food and grass to the front-line barracks on time, but now he can finally put his mind at ease.

Deng Xiaoxian was afraid that something would happen, so he led these people over in one breath and choked them tired.

One of the Bai'an County cavalry was secretly looking at the people in the camp. When he saw Cheng Kun, his eyes flashed.

............

Night falls.

Cheng Kun didn't sleep, he sat cross-legged alone, his heart was facing the sky, and the mellow true qi was slowly running in the meridians, and every time he ran for a week, the total amount of true qi would increase a little.

As long as he is not overly tired now, he generally does not sleep, but instead cultivates in meditation.

In this state, Cheng Kun's soul is flying misty, as if his soul is out of his body, traveling outside the world, this feeling is indescribable.

Not everyone can do this, because people's meridians have their limits to bear, and if you practice for too long at a time, it is easy to cause damage to your meridians, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Cheng Kun is because he has cultivated Bajiquan to fundamentally improve his physique, and even his meridians have become much stronger than ordinary people, so he dares to use meditation instead of sleep.

His mind was focused on the operation of his true qi, and his five senses were closed, so he didn't notice that there was no one in the camp who was not sleeping, and was quietly observing him.

............

Dai Yue'er didn't expect that there would be such a young master in the grain transportation team that she had temporarily mixed into.

You must know that not just a person who has cultivated can be called a master, and in her eyes, it is even more so.

Under the silence, Cheng Kun's low and powerful breathing sound was clearly audible in Dai Yue'er's ears, and the beating sound of his heart was like a war drum, full of a sense of power. It beats 50 beats per minute, which is very stable. With each beat, blood flowing through the heart is pumped throughout the body.

From these tiny details, Dai Yue'er could see how strong the other party's physique was, and it seemed that he had practiced the horizontal exercises. This kind of martial arts is generally more difficult to cultivate, but after practice, it is much cheaper to fight with others.

The reason is also very simple, after practicing horizontal kung fu, you can reduce the injuries you have suffered, serious injuries become minor injuries, and minor injuries are directly exempted. Invisibly, the strength has been greatly improved. Moreover, this kind of kung fu will generally enhance the practitioner's qi, and in the case of equal true qi cultivation, it is natural that the stronger one wins.

No, although Cheng Kun's strength is strong, he can't threaten her. It's just that her only purpose now is to avoid the pursuers, so she knocked the two Bai'an County cavalrymen unconscious and disguised their identities with Xiaohuan to sneak in here. She didn't want to make another move unless she had to.

She had already inquired about the news, and this batch of military rations was finally going to be sent to the Blood Gate.

After the successful delivery, the cavalry of Bai'an County will return, and then she and Xiaohuan can take the opportunity to get out and enter the Broken Dragon Mountain Range. When the time comes, the sea will be wide and the fish will leap, and the sky will be high and the birds will fly.

After the night, the team set off again.

Because it had been delayed for a day, Zheng Lei and Cheng Kun deliberately sped up.

The few people who were seriously wounded were all arranged to ride horses, and although there were many casualties in yesterday's battle, not a single horse was injured. The Huns regarded the horses as their own family and could not easily harm these creatures. So after the First World War, there were a few more war horses to use.

There were no more accidents on the rest of the journey, and after walking for more than two days, the team finally arrived at the first Xiongguan of Dachu - Xuemen Pass on the afternoon of September 4.

This Xiongguan is built between two mountains, with the pass as the city.

The plane of the Blood Gate Pass is square, the circumference is eight miles, one hundred and thirty-seven steps and four feet, the width is five zhang, and the moat is two zhang and five feet deep. The outside of the city wall is covered with blue bricks, and the inside is filled with rammed earth, with a thickness of nearly eight meters and a height of more than 20 meters. There are many arrow towers built on the city wall, and the birds are sad. As long as there are enough troops stationed, it is even more difficult to break through than to ascend to the sky.

There are four city gates in Xuemen Pass, which are named "Town East Gate", "Town West Gate", "Town South Gate" and "Town North Gate". There are also urn cities built outside the four city gates, and there are four Luo cities outside the urn city.

Together, these large and small buildings make up such a large military fortress.

This Xiongguan began to be built when Dachu was just established, and it took more than 50 years in the middle, spending countless manpower and material resources, and almost dragging down Dachu at that time. The Xiongnu sent troops to attack countless times, but each time they stopped in front of the pass, and none of them succeeded.

It can be said that every brick and stone on this Xiongguan is soaked in the blood of the Great Chu and the Huns. It is precisely because of this that after the completion of this pass, it was given such a name.

After Cheng Kun and others entered the Blood Gate Pass, they immediately found the military camp of the Dingshan Army and delivered the grain and grass.

The officer in charge of logistics was a slightly chubby middle-aged man.

He was taken aback when he saw that there were still wounded among Cheng Kun and his party, and after asking about what happened along the way, his face was a little ugly. Because during this time, many of the teams transporting military rations were attacked on the way, and the murderers were all Huns.

The Xiongnu have been suppressed and beaten by the Dingshan army for several years, but during this time, for some reason, they suddenly became arrogant. A large number of cavalry units were sent to attack the grain routes of the Joyama army.

The Joyama army was caught off guard and suffered a lot of losses.

Cheng Kun's team was in good condition, and both of them died under the swords of the Hun cavalry, their bones were gone, and the grain and grass they were escorted were also burned. After the news came, there was an uproar among the Joyama army.

In the big tent for the past two days, there was a lot of noise. Many people proposed to the general to send troops out of the pass to teach the Huns a lesson, but the general has not yet agreed.

Cheng Kun was also a little strange after learning about the situation, but he knew too little information to guess the true intentions of the Huns.

Dai Yue'er, who was hidden in the team, understood it as soon as she heard it.

This must have been their own news back to the Huns, which is why they suddenly took such an initiative. Sending so many cavalry into the territory of Great Chu to attack the grain road is fake, and it is true to look for her, the Holy Maiden of the Black Heaven Sect.

It's just that I'm afraid they didn't expect that they would actually blend into the grain transportation team of the Dingshan Army.

After the task was delivered, Cheng Kun and the others were temporarily idle.

Zheng Lei left first, he had many acquaintances in the army, and after learning about the abnormal performance of the Huns during this time, he wanted to find someone to ask about the situation and see if he could learn more information.

Cheng Kun also left, and there were not many people he knew in the Dingshan Army, and the only one he was more familiar with was Captain Qiao Feng. He wanted to walk around and see if he could meet him.

The cavalry and servants of Bai'an County wanted to return, but were left behind by the logistics officer. During this time, the losses of the people who transported the grain and grass were not small, and the casualties of the servants were particularly heavy.

This arrangement completely disrupted Dai Yue'er's plan, but her face remained silent and did not show a look of chagrin.

However, the little ring behind her did not have such concentration, and after she heard the order, she let out an "ah" in surprise.

The fat officer's eyes stared at her like a falcon, and his eyes were sharp: "What, do you have any opinions?"

The other cavalry in Bai'an County were a little anxious, this "Xiao Xu", why did he have no eyesight today. In the army, military orders are like mountains, which allows small soldiers like you to question.

They all wanted to excuse their companions, but for some reason, when they saw the fat officer's sharp eyebrows, their brains went blank, and they couldn't say anything.

As soon as Xiaohuan shouted the word "ah", his heart was full of sighs, and he knew that it was broken. What if the disguise is discovered?

She didn't worry about her own safety, but if she missed Miss's plan, then she would die. But for a while, she couldn't think of any good reason to explain why she spoke up just now.

At this time, Dai Yue'er spoke: "General, I accidentally stepped on his foot just now, so he screamed, I don't think he was dissatisfied with the general's decision." ”

The fat officer's eyes softened a lot, he looked at Dai Yue'er, and said in his heart that this kid is very good at talking.

He snorted: "That's the best, I don't need you to pick up the teams that haven't arrived yet, as long as you stay in this barracks for a few days and do some chores, you don't need to take the risk to fight with the Huns." ”

The combat power of the Joyama Army and the local armies in various places can be said to be very different, and it can be seen from the undisguised arrogance in the words of this fat officer how disdainful they are for the local army.

After listening to the fat officer's explanation, these Bai'an County cavalrymen breathed a sigh of relief.

After the fat officer left, Dai Yue'er turned around and slashed Xiaohuan fiercely.

Xiaohuan stuck out his tongue with an innocent expression.
