In late August, after a heavy rain, the muddy mountain road was filled with panicked crowds. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In the north, hundreds of miles away from Yanmen Pass, not long after the rain stopped, thousands of refugees from the north came out of the woods again, wet clothes, mixed with months of sweat and dirt, and the whole team gathered into a foul smell, which was emitted in the air.

In front of the team, the figures of several war horses stood on the mountain rocks above, looking at the long dragon walking slowly at their feet. Among the several horsemen, the knight at the head was dressed in court armor, with a sword hanging from his waist, and then, next to him, he came over with a map, pointed his fingers on it, and said in a low voice: "General, the footsteps are a little slow, even if we dodge General Suo's side, but in the next time, we will still be caught up by the other party." ”

That man was Huang Xin.

"They.... I've been weak for too long, where can I walk fast. He sighed, "When I decided to open the city gate, I knew it, so I made this path, and now if you want to stay away from the round-up range, you can only go around the direction of Taiyuan, where there are few people, which is more suitable for placing them." ”

The entourage had a difficult look on his face, glanced at the other companions, and still reminded: "General, this road has been hundreds of miles in the past, and at this speed, even if we go more covertly, we will be discovered sooner or later." ”

"Aren't we coming this far just for these people? It is one person who can save one person, okay, don't mention this nonsense. Huang Xin's tone was not high, not like a tone of reprimanding his subordinates, and then, he looked at the sky, and turned the horse's head with a rein, "Hurry up and go, by the way, warn the brothers who are exploring the road in front of you, if you find a populated village, let the team bypass it immediately, we can't harm the people here." ”

Several horsemen were ordered to come down from the mountain rocks, and quickly gave the order.

Huang Xin rode down the hill alone, watching the long procession march on the narrow mountain road, and the thousands of soldiers who followed him in the distance were in charge of safety, everything seemed to be proceeding in an orderly manner.

But he knew that during the journey of more than ten days, there were dozens of people who were infected and crazy, including several of his subordinates, Rao knew the severity of this plague and did many epidemic prevention measures, but there were still people who fell on the way, and then went crazy, were shot to death, and then burned again. Along the way, in the grass, the buried geography is a charred corpse.

Not long after, there was a knight on the mountain road who was retrograde and separated from the crowd and came from the front, with a tired look on his face, approached, and bowed his hand to Huang Xin: "General, there is an accident ahead." ”

"What's wrong?"

"Someone suspected of being sick, and one of our brothers could not control it, and before the people could go mad, they shot an arrow to death, and when they lit the fire, they caused the family of the man to disturb him..... There was an argument. The knight who came over looked indignant and couldn't help but strengthen his tone.

Huang Xin looked at the sky in front of him, a few wisps of black smoke rose into the sky with the burning, his eyebrows pressed down, his eyes became cold, and then there was a faint sound of quarrel, that is, he immediately slapped a whip, rode his horse around the walking crowd, and the front was full of refugees who were congested and crowded, and the hurried footsteps were pushed, and the shouts and footsteps of people were mixed together.

Buzz Buzz...... Just like the noisy vegetable market, Huang Xin couldn't get in on horseback, so he had to turn over and dismount, and a few soldiers came over to open the way, and then he reached the front.

"Listen to me, it's true that this person has the plague, and there are so many of us who drag our families with us, if it spreads, everyone will die, and more people will die..."

On the other side of the burning corpse, there were soldiers patiently explaining to a few angry civilians. It is suspected that the wife of the deceased pinched and dragged the armor collar of a soldier, desperately crying and screaming for him to pay for his life, and then was pushed away, and the woman fell to the ground and cried loudly: "You also beat me to death, kill me, there is a pillar in the family, my man is gone, and I can't live....."

A soldier wanted to go up to help the woman, but was grabbed by the other party's relatives and smashed a stone in the face, and the chaos arose at this moment, several refugees took advantage of the situation and carried others to attack the soldiers who wanted to snatch weapons and dry food, but were beaten back.

"Hit someone—"

"Officers and soldiers are going to kill. ”

"Run, don't follow them, they want to take us to a remote place so that we can be killed and buried. ”

Someone in the crowd took advantage of the chaos to spread rumors, and when Huang Xin squeezed over, the road was full of people running around in his field of vision, and he immediately asked one of his soldiers to go to the back to stabilize the team and separate this place.

"Block the main road ahead, don't let them rush and fall off the cliff!" Huang Xin no longer saved his strength, strode through the panicked crowd, and slashed the rumor-mongering figure in a pool of blood with his knife.

Huang Xin stood in front of him with a steel knife, with a broken neck at his feet, and glanced at the crowd that broke out into a conflict: "Whoever dares to move the fuck again, Lao Tzu will kill whoever is killed with this knife in his hand." ”

In the chaos, someone stopped, and then more people took a step back, frightened by the sudden arrival of corpses.

"Lao Tzu risked the name of a thief, let you enter the customs, and sacrificed a lot of brothers, if any of you toast and don't eat, then don't blame Lao Tzu for the knife in his hand is too sharp. ”

At this point, the knife was inserted back into the sheath with a bang, and Huang Xin waved it violently: "Immediately line up and move forward, and when you are placed, blame you for how to toss." ”

"How do we know if it's true?" said someone in the crowd.

Huang Xin turned around and glanced at the other party, and the man hurriedly hid in the crowd. He took a breath, raised his finger and swept around, "Lao Tzu doesn't care if you believe it or not, but you were brought in by me, I have to control it, if you want to leave alone, you can, but the body stays." ”

After this, he said no more, and the woman who had lost her husband did not dare to cry any more, and followed the procession again with her tears, and the blocked mountain road was finally opened.

......

The sun began to set, and the last rays of light faded from the top of the mountain.

Not long after leaving the winding and narrow mountain road, Huang Xin, who was leading the horseback riding in front, frowned, "How do I feel that something is wrong?" ”

The soldiers looked over.

"How long has it been since the scouts have come to report the news?" There were not many burning torches, the light was sparse, and little by little it stretched in the ranks, and the refugees resting on the ground ate the dry food that had been sent down, their faces were somewhat numb, and among the entire thousands of people, few voices came out, and they seemed mysterious and quiet.

"About an hour. The soldier with a good memory raised his head, "It wasn't dark at that time, I remember it clearly, yes." ”

"It's broken—"

Huang Xinmeng, who realized that something was wrong, bounced up from the ground, threw away the dry food, turned over and got on the horse, "Immediately let the brother get on the horse and inform the team to leave immediately." ”

After the military order, the atmosphere changed suddenly, and the already tired refugee team suddenly became commotion and panic, and one by one they were driven up by the soldiers and moved forward, like driving a flock of sheep.

"What's going on?"

"Shocked ....."

"Damn, don't let people rest. ”

However, when the team was hurriedly integrated, the night birds in the forest flew in fright, and the sound of chirping and flapping wings instantly enveloped the entire forest, looking at the gap in the woods in the distance, Huang Xin pulled out the knife little by little.

In the darkness, the figure on horseback slowly walked out of the gap in the forest with a little firelight, and far away, at the edge of the woods, the sound of the war horse's nasal exhalation faintly surrounded them.

Green dragon knife, jujube red horse.

"You can't go....." he said.
