The Tang Empire, under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate, Saibei. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The night is as cold as water, a cold moon, hanging high in the sky, several cold stars are accompanied by each other, and the cold moonlight is sprinkled on the earth, covering the whole earth with a thin veil.

Although it has only entered September, the weather in Saibei is already cold.

Bursts of cold winds blew unscrupulously from the grasslands deep in the north of the desert, blew across the vast Gobi, and blew into a dense poplar forest in the north of the country.

A large caravan is camping in this poplar forest.

Dozens of blazing bonfires brought a warm glow to this cold night.

Hundreds of merchants and guards walking on the ancient silk road sat around the bonfire, eating beef and mutton, while chatting casually.

Yuwen Chenyi was wearing a black cloak, with a longbow drawn on his back, and a carved gold arrow diagonally inserted in his quiver, leaning on the trunk of a poplar tree that was more than one person thick, and playing with the steel long sword in his hand for a while.

The cold wind blew through his slender body, blowing the hem of the black cloak to make a hunting sound, but he didn't realize it, looking at the cold moon in the sky, leisurely chewing on the thatch roots, and letting the faint sweet and sour taste overflow on the tip of his tongue.

"Yuwen, we have all been far away from the border fortress of the empire and deep into the hinterland of the desert for so long, why haven't you said that the gang of horse thieves of the Blue Wolf Gang has not appeared yet?"

Xiao Wenfeng, who was sitting next to him, didn't have this leisure, he was already a little impatient, and he went deep into the hinterland of the desert for three thousand miles, not to mention horse thieves, and he didn't even see a ghost.

"Phew!" Spit out the thatched roots in his mouth, Yuwen Chenyi put away his thoughts, and his eyes swept over the carriages around the woods one by one: "What are you anxious about! Such a big piece of fat, the blue wolf gang will definitely not let go!" The long sword in his hand was skillfully inserted back into the scabbard on his waist, and two sharp white rays flashed in his dark eyes.

Man dies for money, birds die for food, and with hundreds of carts of goods in this forest, he doesn't believe that the horse thieves of the Blue Wolf Gang will not come!

"It would be great if they could come, with the elite Xuanjia army of our Tang Empire here, they will definitely have no return!"

Xiao Wenfeng snorted coldly, and a trace of coldness flashed in his blazing eyes. Although he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, he had grown to a round waist and thick shoulders, tall and burly, and reached out and pressed the long knife diagonally across his waist, and his eyes inadvertently swept towards some big men in cyan suits.

These big men, although they were scattered in the crowd in twos and threes, exuded an unstoppable solemn momentum.

This momentum cannot be learned by ordinary people, and only in the field of life and death, people who have experienced bloody battles can release a cold aura - murderous aura.

The Xuanjia Army, the most elite iron cavalry of the Tang Empire, has been fighting everywhere since the establishment of the empire, charging into battle, all of which are broken, and their soldiers are all experienced in a hundred battles and extremely powerful.

With such a brave and warlike army that has been tempered thousands of times, to fight against a group of horse thieves who plundered the merchants, it is naturally easy to capture.

Xiao Wenfeng grabbed a few dead branches and threw them into the bonfire, the flames were churning, and the dead branches were swallowed up in an instant, and the branches burst open, splashing out a few sparks.

Yuwen Chenyi looked thoughtfully at the sparks bursting out of the bonfire, was silent for a moment, and said solemnly: "This group of horse thieves of the Blue Wolf Gang is said to be the strongest group of horse thieves in the entire Mobei grassland, and their strength should not be underestimated, but they cannot be careless. Otherwise, the Protectorate would not have dispatched our elite Xuanjia army stationed in Yangguan to deal with them. ”

"It's just a rabble of people who rob houses and houses, how strong can they be, not to mention, with the assistance of one hundred and sixty guards of the caravan, as long as they dare to come, I, Xiao Wenfeng, will definitely kill them all under the horse!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Wenfeng picked up a dead branch and threw it at Yuwen Chenyi: "Yuwen, when the time comes, let's compare and see who kills more horse thieves?"

Rolling his eyes and looking at Xiao Wenfeng's provocative smiling face, Yuwen Chenyi pursed his lips and said lazily: "If you want to say that you go into battle to kill the enemy, when have I lost to you." ”

Speaking of this, there was a slight pause, and Yuwen Chenyi's face showed a trace of solemnity: "Xiao, this mission, I'm afraid it's far from being as simple as you think, have you noticed the three people around Commander Liu?"

"What, is there anything wrong with those three people sent by the Metropolitan Protectorate?"

Xiao Wenfeng was stunned for a moment, and glanced away with some doubts, next to a fire in the distance, the commander Liu Wenjun was talking to the three of them in a low voice, he was usually majestic, but at this time he lowered his head and looked very respectful.

Among the three of them, there was an old man in a purple robe, who looked to be in his seventies, but he was energetic and energetic, and there was a faint flash of essence in his slender eyes, which looked quite extraordinary.

The other was a young man, about twenty-three or fourteen years old, handsome, slender, dressed in brocade and jade, and at first glance he was the son of a wealthy family.

In addition, there was a middle-aged scribe wearing a cyan robe and an elegant appearance.

Although the ages and dresses of these three people are different, there is a natural fluctuation of spiritual power on their bodies, and at first glance, they are people who have reached a considerable level of cultivation in the Xuanmen exercises.

"How is it, do you see any difference between these three people?" Yuwen Chenyi asked.

"Isn't it just three practitioners, what's the difference? Xiao Wenfeng shrugged his shoulders and looked disapproving.

"You're really an elm pimple, do you see that golden Tai Chi pattern embroidered on their cuffs? That's the symbol of the royal onmyoji!" Yu Wenchen glanced at him and whispered angrily.

"What did you say?" Xiao Wenfeng looked surprised, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"I said they are onmyoji!" Yuwen Chenyi raised the corner of his eyes, looked at the big grinning guy in front of him, and shook his head a little helplessly.

Xiao Wenfeng rolled his eyelids and looked at the cuffs of the three of them, and sure enough, he found a yin and yang Taiji pattern embroidered with gold wire, and a trace of extremely wonderful looks immediately appeared on his face, and he blurted out: "It's really an onmyoji! What are they doing here?

Looking at Xiao Wenfeng's excited appearance, Yuwen Chenyi shook his head again: "I don't know what the specific reason is, but one thing is certain, that is, it is related to our mission to kill the Blue Wolf Gang this time." ”

"Those who can get them to go out must be extraordinary, so don't be careless, and be careful. Speaking of this, Yuwen Chenyi's expression became solemn again.

Today, there are capable people in all countries and races, and these people have special abilities that surpass ordinary martial arts.

The royal onmyoji under the command of the Tang Empire are cultivators who practice Taoism, they not only know how to look at the stars and face people, but also measure the direction, know the disaster, draw talismans, and perform illusions.

They use all-encompassing hexagrams and mysterious spells to exorcise evil spirits, kill demons and destroy monsters, and become powerful protectors from the royal family to the common people, which is extremely unfathomable.

In addition to this, they also have an important function, which is to kill the Anomalies in the opposing army.

"Well, Yuwen, you guy is careful, I guess, you knew it when you were in the camp, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Xiao Wenfeng's eyes widened, staring at the three of them without blinking, his face was full of curiosity!

"Tell you earlier, with your big personality, you haven't shouted it out yet, Commander Liu didn't reveal their identities to us, naturally he had his considerations, he didn't say it, and we pretended not to know, anyway, the blind man lit the lamp, and he knew it. ”

"Don't care about him, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, it's useless to think too much, let's go, let's go around to inspect it, and it's good to move." ”

Xiao Wenfeng stood up and stretched out his strong and slender arms, and the three layers of dark armor hidden under the cloak were exposed, emitting a cold metallic light under the light of the bonfire.

This half-body armor made of dark iron has excellent protection, and ordinary swords and arrows cannot penetrate it at all.

Of course, it is also very expensive to build, even in the powerful Tang Empire, only a few elite troops have this kind of equipment.

Xiao Wenfeng actually wore three pieces on his body, these three layers of armor weighed at least sixty or seventy pounds, which ordinary people couldn't bear at all, but this young man who was as strong as a brute bear stretched freely, as if he had nothing.

Yuwen Chenyi was already surprised by this, patted a few poplar leaves that were blown down by the cold wind, and said: "Anyway, the night is long, and staying like this is boring, so I will accompany you to go around." ”

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

"Commander Liu, are these two boys really as good as you say?"

Glancing at the two teenagers patrolling the woods, the purple-clothed old man asked Liu Wenjun in a low voice, his voice contained a momentum of not being angry and arrogant.

"Ge Lao, don't worry, although these two boys are young, they are born in the military since childhood, skilled in bows and horses, superb in martial arts, outstanding performance in battle, and have made many achievements, they are the two most powerful captains under my command, if not, how dare they take them to carry out this mission. Liu Wenjun looked humble and replied respectfully.

"This is the best, ordinary horse thieves, and you Xuanjia Army will deal with it. The three of us, we must concentrate all our strength on dealing with the deadly blue wolf..."The old man in purple stroked his long beard and nodded slightly.

"Attention, everyone, there is a situation!"

At this moment, several caravan guards on the edge of the woods sounded an alarm.

Everyone who was originally gathered around the bonfire to keep warm was stunned, but the excellent professionalism made them stand up with their swords in hand in an instant, and the previous idleness and casualness were replaced by serious vigilance in an instant.

The captain of the caravan's guard, named He Yitao, was a well-known swordsman in the Mobei grassland, jumped up from the campfire, pressed the saber on his waist with his left hand, and led more than a dozen guards with a move with his right hand, and rushed towards the several guards who sent the signal.

Yuwen Chenyi glanced at Xiao Wenfeng, and the two of them rushed over one after the other.

On the vast grassland, at some point, thousands of faint green lights lit up, flickering in the moonlight, drifting and moving, looking at the situation, it was actually coming in the direction of the woods.

"It's not good, it's a desert wolf!"

He Yitao has been walking on the grassland of Saibei all the year round, and he has seen a lot of knowledge, and he can see at a glance that these green and faint lights are the fierce light from the eyes of the desert wolf.

Under the bright moonlight, huge blue wolves gradually revealed in the night.

Under the cold wind, the pale wolf hair on the wolves' bodies shook with the wind, and combined with the faint green light from the eyes, it was like a white ghost in the night, which made people shudder.

The faces of the guards all changed color, and even the hundreds of camels and horses resting in the woods seemed to sense the approach of danger, and they all became restless and neighed frequently.
