Going back to Sima Weiguang, the three of them left Niu Renhe and walked along the mountain path. Hurry up, day and night, and arrive at Yulong Pass in three days.

There was nothing to do all the way, and the wind stopped along the way, and the dry branches fell the withered yellow leaves, and landed on the horse road full of dead leaves, and the horses' hooves galloped past, rolling up many leaves, and the sound of kicking horses' hooves, the sound of breaking leaves.

The road is very deserted, this side of the pass, there are never many pedestrians on the road, and when the weather is bad in late autumn, there is no one left.

When he went out this time, his father specially called Liu Tong to follow Sima Weiguang, worried that there would be bandits on the road, and he was too worried. We can't help but think about it, there have been a lot of bad things in various places recently, killing people and looting, many fleeing peasants, many caravans, and even dozens of families in some villages have been killed and robbed.

This is the end of winter, the beasts are looking for reserves, and many grass are also increasing their reserves for the winter.

This is the most chaotic time before winter.

Only in this area, there is a depression and a desertion. It was okay along the way, but Sima Weiguang was even more worried along the way.

It's too cold, and there's always a lot of unknown, and some of the more powerful beasts don't prepare for the winter, and they get up and look at them through the cracks in the ground when everyone else is busy grabbing. and until the winter came, when the mighty beasts were well stocked, they came out and touched every house through the cracks in the dark ground, and took possession of all that house, and made the master of that house their food.

Sima Weiguang felt more and more this aura of being spied at, he naturally went to help his brother take the Jade Dragon Pass, from the hands of the general, the current guard of the Jade Dragon Pass is the general's subordinate. That is, last time, Uncle Gan, who came from the imperial court, arranged for his father that the edict had been issued, and the eldest son of Sima was ordered to replace the general's person as the guard of Yulong Pass. If the imperial court wants to weaken the power of the general, it also needs the help of Sima Assassin.

It's not that simple, Sima Weiguang feels more and more that the Sima family is just a court, and it's just a pawn that Uncle Gan can use.

"The imperial court wants to divide the general's power to your Sima family and other state cities to fill your granary. The imperial court also wants to borrow you to balance the generals and provoke a gap between them. This gap comes together, and it is not easy to pass here. The foreign races in the desert are already eyeing each other, but the Central Plains is changing and can't take care of it, and this pass has become a stopper. ”

Sima Weiguang always remembered these words, the words that the person told him made him suddenly wake up, he had never thought about these things, the situation at the border was unpredictable, so he couldn't figure out too much how to think about it.

He also often pondered the person who told him, this person seemed to be a reckless thief, and he didn't want him to say such unusual things, what was his purpose? What was the purpose of his sneaking to Sima's house? Is it really for the border map of Sima's house? Sima Weiguang always kept pondering what that person had said.

"I want the general to marry your Sima family, and I also want to earn that map. The general is also far-sighted...... "He may be true when he says this, otherwise the general really doesn't have to marry our family."

"The young man is prestigious, do you know that your future daughter-in-law is now in someone else's arms?" Is this also true, "I really thought that the fugitive stole some of his treasures?

Sima Weiguang had already heard that the young lady of the general was versatile and beautiful, and when he saw the portrait of the young lady, he was indeed a beautiful woman, although he had never seen this beautiful woman, that is, his father had arranged for him, so he regarded the young lady as his future wife, and his heart was placed on the young lady a lot.

When he heard that the fugitive had stolen the young lady, he unconsciously became very distressed.

On that day, the thieves were found and captured by Sima and his son from the beam of the house, that is, locked in the cellar in the middle of the house, although Sima Weiguang thought that his words were just nonsense, he couldn't help but be curious about what he said, so he secretly went to the cellar to ask him something. No, this thief had a lot of knowledge about the situation at the border, and he talked about many things that he had never heard before. It's just the one he said, the life of the lieutenant who died in the barracks was earned by the people from Shicun Cottage, which surprised him.

"Think about it, that Du Wei is also a smart and very brave person, how can he still be trapped by the demons in the mountains. ”

Sima Weiguang returned to the room from the cellar and stayed awake all night, thinking about what he said.

By the next day, he couldn't help but want to talk to the man again.

On this day and night, he was hesitating in his room whether to go again, and he still had many unanswered questions, and he did not ask any questions about the theft of the great general's young lady. After thinking for a while, he finally made up his mind, and was about to push the door out, when he suddenly heard a noisy shouting outside.

Sima Weiguang ran to the courtyard and saw many family members running around in the courtyard with lanterns to investigate, while shouting, "Catch the thief, catch the thief!" Sima Weiguang also followed the family to look everywhere, and searched several times in a row, but did not find the shadow of the thief.

When I asked carefully, it was a few family members who first saw that two strange figures appeared in the courtyard, and several family members walked over to ask who it was, but the two suddenly got up and jumped to the roof and ran away. Everyone was startled, and went into the courtyard, and when they stopped, they all hurriedly returned to the room to see if there was anything missing.

Nothing has been lost, that is, those thieves have not yet succeeded, and everyone is also afraid, since then, there have been many more precautions in the house, and Lord Assassin Shi has also called back some expert guards. At that time, Sima Weiguang didn't care, and when everyone dispersed, he also returned to the room, extinguished the candles, and wanted to rest, when he suddenly remembered the thief locked up in the cellar, and was shocked.

Sima Weiguang hurriedly went to the cellar, the door of the cellar was open, and the housekeeper Zhao Wang was also here, and the thief really escaped.

It's really a strange thing, the thief is not simple, he lived in this Sima Mansion for a few days, and he came when he said he came, and he left when he said he left. So what was his purpose? to find the map of Sima's house, or was it just to tell Sima Weiguang about these things?

Sima Weiguang pondered, and the red horse under him ran fast. The three of them passed through a forest and came to a sloping field, where the moonlight shone down with a white glow.

"Look, you can already see the Jade Dragon Pass!" Liu Tong shouted.

The Jade Dragon Pass had already risen in front of them, and they could reach it by crossing this slope. At this time, in the moonlight, a long shadow of several people appeared on the slope, who had been waiting here for a long time.

Sima Weiguang walked at the front, and shouted very happily to the people on the top of the slope, "Big brother!"
