Back and forth

At this point in front of the direction, there was a commotion among the monks. After some careful consideration, a dozen or so monks finally came forward.

Seeing that it was almost over, Xiang Qian nodded and said, "Okay, old district, these people will be taken by you, or follow the road of yesterday and keep going." Turning back, I led the remnants to follow closely. ”

The old district was ordered to lead a pathfinder team of more than a dozen people to set off on horseback.

Not long after the team left, Xiangqian seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, there is an important sentence that I have to explain, there is no way, you are waiting for me here, I will come when I go." Then Pegasus chased after the old district.

Within three miles, he had already caught up, and after reconvening everyone to confess, he said to the old area with a suspicious face: "Listen to me, that's right." ”

......

This whole day, the people who stayed behind were anxious and waiting for the order to set off in front of the direction, but they were pushed again and again by the direction to find various reasons, until the sun was thin, and they heard the lazy words in front of the direction: "Oh, it's getting late today, the big guy is camped on the spot, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow." ”

Since the proprietors are not in a hurry, and there were no accidents after spending the night here last night, why not do it?

At night, there are even people who volunteer to take turns on patrols.

The direction was secretly funny, and he didn't say anything forbidden, and let them arrange it themselves. After all, the enthusiasm of the masses must not be poured cold water on them casually.

Early the next morning, as expected, there was nothing to do, and the direction of the camp urged him to go quickly.

After galloping for thirty or forty miles, they saw Ou Xinggong and the others, and at this moment, some of them hadn't even gotten up yet!

Didn't you say that these fellows were allowed to come and explore the way? How could they have only walked so many steps and set up camp here, and the proprietors were not even angry? Many of the monks were a little puzzled.

However, there are more than a dozen people in the old area. It turned out to be safe and sound, and a big stone fell in everyone's hearts, and everyone rejoiced.

Xiang Qian said: "Today, I will send someone to explore the way again......"

Before the words fell, everyone stepped forward enthusiastically. Naturally, exploring the way, exploring the way, only walking so many dozens of miles, you can get five times the pay, and there is no danger, who doesn't want to?

Xiang Qian laughed and said: "In front of interests, everyone has a share." So be it. Gentlemen who have already been there yesterday, let's raise our profile today and give this fat shortage to the brothers who haven't been there yesterday, okay?"

Those who have been there are naturally not good people who have spoken out against it, but those who have not been there are shouting "good" one after another.

Xiang Qian smiled: "Since yesterday was the first battle they fought in the old area, simply, today." Let me take all the brothers who stayed behind yesterday with me. By the way, Lao District, you follow a few steps, I have a few words to talk to you on the way. ”

The old area is unknown. followed closely in front of the direction, but never saw the owner speak.

After walking another three or five miles, he shouted in front of him, "Stop, stop." I have something to say. ”

Everyone stopped in unison, stood up on the horses, and said loudly, "Today." Everyone has to work hard, from now on, let's move forward at double speed, we have to have to stop too much halfway, until night, we can set up camp, do you understand?"

Although everyone felt that it was indeed much harder than yesterday's group of fellows, they did not have to run by themselves on horseback, and what was the slightest bumpy labor on the horse compared to five times the reward?

Xiang Qian turned his head and said to Ou Xinggong: "Old District, today, I'm afraid you have to lead the team, I, hey, hey, hey, I'm going to go back." By the way, there is a secret order here, you take it with you, and act according to the plan tomorrow. ”

After that, he handed a note to the old district, and squeezed his eyes at the old district.

The old district didn't understand what the owner meant for a while, but he knew that if he was fighting, he was not the owner of the family, and he had been taught outside Yellowstone Fort back then.

Today, since I don't know the owner's intentions, what's the matter! Anyway, just listen to the owner's arrangement, and immediately jump forward and lead everyone to gallop all the way.

The direction of the horse back to the camp, without explanation, immediately urged everyone to get on the horse, and walked towards the circuit whip, but also all the way non-stop.

Nothing was said all night.

On the second day, Xiang Qian led everyone to return along the road. I fainted, and everyone was dizzy for a while. You sister! What kind of play is this after all? I ran around in this forest, and I didn't get in well, and I couldn't go back and forth, just tossing back and forth, wouldn't it be that the owner was crazy?

I wanted to think like this, but no one dared to speak. Because, just going back and forth, at least, in the past two days, there will be no accidents in the team. This, what else is there to say?

But is that really the case?

Under the scorching sun, everyone was still galloping, but they saw the dust in front of them, and the sound of horses' hooves, as if another group of horses was coming. Sure enough, after a while, a group of people and horses in the old area turned out on the mountain road.

Seeing each other this time, everyone in the old district was sad.

"Boss, something happened again. This morning, everyone had just gotten up, and Zhao Datou suddenly pulled out a knife and slashed indiscriminately, and everyone was caught off guard for a while, and actually hacked one person to death and injured two people. In the end, I personally killed Lao Zhao. ”

Lao Ou said that he pointed to two injured people, one was slashed in the back and was seriously injured, and the other was stabbed in the left arm and the injury was slightly lighter.

He sneered in front of the direction, his eyes swept over the old district and his party one by one, and sneered: "Good, good, good, too good!"

Everyone was stunned, and they didn't know what the owner was thinking at this time.

Xiang Qian looked left and right, and said, "It's very good here, since there is an accident again, tonight, let's stay here for the time being, and talk about it tomorrow." ”

Dropping this sentence, he ignored everyone in front of the direction, and went to meditate on his own breath.

At night, the old district, as always, arranged for the people to rotate the vigil, and everyone fell asleep hastily in this uneasy atmosphere.

It's been a long time, and I'm still meditating in front of the direction, and I don't pay attention to it.

An hour passed, and there was no movement in the camp. Two hours passed, and there was no movement. About an hour later, it was the second half of the night.

Next to the tent in front of the direction is Xiao Cui's tent, which is to facilitate Xiao Cui to obey the owner's call at any time. At this time, I saw Xiao Cui sit up as soon as he turned over slightly, lifted the corner of the tent and looked out, and listened again.

It was calm outside.

Xiao Cui lay down again, pulled up the horn and covered it. In the quilt, he carefully took out a night pearl from the skin, and suddenly, the quilt was glowing.

Xiao Cui made persistent efforts, took out the pen and paper from the skin, licked the tip of the pen, and gently wrote on the inch-square note. (To be continued......)
