V2.C26

The distance between the northwest border and the capital is very far indeed. It took 11 days for the army to catch up. For more than ten days, Gu Yun has been riding a horse, just like Su Ren and Han Shu. At night, he sleeps in a military shed built at random and lives on dry food. He never complains, and he still looks the same.

Her performance in the past ten days has not only won the respect of all soldiers, but also the recognition of Lou Muhai. This woman is good! Qingjia is a wealthy family in Haoyue, but her daughter is not arrogant. No wonder suling takes a fancy to her!

Since entering the northwest, the mountains are full of rocks, canyons, streams and streams. The humidity in the air is much higher, especially in summer. The sultry air is unbearable.

On both sides of the official road, there are dense trees. At a glance, you can't see the edge. The sun has gradually set. It is estimated that it will be completely dark in less than half an hour.

Han Shu closed the map and said to Su Ren, "sixty miles ahead is Peicheng." Hurry up, we should be able to reach Peicheng tonight.

Su Ren suddenly stopped his horse and asked, "general Lou, is this the terrain from here to Peicheng?"

Lou Muhai nodded and said, "well, there's a long valley ahead. You can walk ten miles through the valley to Peicheng."

Su Ren Lian Mei thought for a while, and ordered: "it's getting late, so we should camp here first today."

"Yes."

Han Shu is a little strange. At this speed, he will arrive at Peicheng in two hours. Why does Su Ren camp here?! Although I have doubts in my heart, now I've always been the commander-in-chief, and the military command is like a mountain. He said to camp!

After the camp was tied up, it was already completely dark. In the main tent, Su Ren, Han Shu and Lou Muhai sat around a big table. Gu Yun, with a piece of white cloth in his hand, gently wiped the ice refining snow-white sword body. Her eyes were not looking at them, but her ears were not idle. She listened to everything they said.

"General Lou, you have been stationed in the Northwest for the longest time. You have been dealing with the bandits for many years. Let's talk about Peicheng and the bandits first."

"Good." Lou Muhai nodded and said seriously, "when the former Emperor didn't capture this land, Pei city and several nearby towns were small and wild cities, which were under the jurisdiction of yongmu people, and the clan leader was their leader. Later, the former Emperor wanted to include the small area at the border of Qiongyue and Linguo into the Qiongyue. After a two-year battle, most of the area was captured, and the yongmu clan leader retreated into the forest in the West with those residents who did not want to surrender. The former Emperor once sent 20000 soldiers to catch them all, but they failed to do so. Yongmu people came out from time to time to plunder the goods at the border and resist the imperial court. Because of this, the imperial court set up the position of Zhenxi general in Peicheng. "

Han Shuqi said: "so many years, you have not encircled?"

Lou Muhai's face darkened and sighed: "it's not that I don't encircle and suppress, it's really There's nothing we can do about it. "

What can I do? As far as he knows, general Zhenxi is in charge of 30000 soldiers. How can these bandits make him helpless? Su Ren asked: "how to say it?"

Lou Muhai replied helplessly: "they hide in the forest on weekdays. I have sent troops into the forest three times to encircle and suppress them. Not only have they not been annihilated, but our army has been killed and injured badly. As a last resort, I can only send troops to garrison three miles outside the forest. Once they gather and go out, they can encircle them. However, in the past two years, I found that the number of times they came out to plunder goods was less, and every time they appeared, the weapons and military supplies were better and better, so I was in a hurry to report to Beijing. "

It's just a forest! Han Shu said with disapproval: "they live in that forest. They always need supplies on weekdays. You can block the exit and surround them

"I've already tried, but the forest is so big that it can't be completely surrounded. I don't know which way they go in and out." The forest is unfathomable. I don't know how big it is. How can it be surrounded!

Gu Yun, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "do you have a map of that forest?"

Looking at Gu Yun, facing her clear eyes, Lou Muhai finally said, "No. I'm ashamed to say that even I don't know how many of them are. They hide in the forest and never come out. As far as I know, the number is no less than 10000. "

Lou Muhai didn't even know how many troops the other side had?! Originally, they thought they were just thieves. Thirty thousand elite soldiers were enough. Now it seems that they are much more difficult.

Su Ren asked, "what's the name of their leader?" I don't know about this, do I?

Speaking of this, Lou Muhai was a little annoyed and said in a deep voice: "Mu Cang, he is the son of the dead patriarch. His means are more powerful than his father's, but it's a pity that I didn't have the chance to face him head-on. His two left and right hands, Wuji and Yange, have already made me worried."

Is it just that his subordinates have made a Zhenxi general in a mess? Han shuleng snorted and hissed: "is it really so powerful? I don't believe it

Lou Muhai has a lot to suffer from. When he first came to garrison, he didn't believe it in every way. As a result, he didn't know what to do!Seeing that Han Shu couldn't wait to attack immediately, Gu Yun laughed and said, "Han Shu, you don't understand what general Lou said. If you are in the desert, I absolutely believe that with your achievements and the bravery of your army, any enemy can be ignored. But this time it's different. The most terrible enemy we have to face is not the bandits, but the mysterious and vast rainforest

It's a good time and a good place. I'm afraid it's hard to fight!

Lou Muhai stares at Gu Yun in amazement. He just said a few words, and she has captured their real enemy, that damned rainforest! It was only two years later that he realized this point. This doll is not simple!

Gu Yun was staring at by Lou Muhai. At this time, there were bursts of rapid footsteps and low roars outside the tent.

Su Ren felt that something was wrong. Before he asked, a quick report came from outside the account! The army's grain and grass suddenly caught fire. "

Food and grass on fire?!

The four men in the tent stood up together. The two armies were at war, and food and grass came first. If there was no food, they would be defeated without fighting!

The four rushed out of the tent and said, "how about the grain and grass now?"

"It's fighting right now."

Gu Yun squinted and saw that there was not much fire in the distance. She remembered that there were more than 30 carriages full of grain and grass. This little fire was not serious, but why was it on fire for no reason?! If it is arson, the fire should not be so small, or

When an idea flashed through his mind, the ice in his hand shook violently. Gu Yun raised his head alertly and saw a dark silver streamer shooting straight at Su Ren's chest. Gu Yun yelled: "be careful!"

He raised the ice chain in his hand to meet the streamer. There was only a clanging sound. Gu Yun was numb, and a short arrow about three inches long landed with a clang sound.

All of a sudden, several people were stunned. At this time, a shadow ran towards the deep forest.

"Over there!" Han Shu found him, and at the same time, people also chased him.

Gu Yun said in a loud voice: "Han Shu, don't chase me!"

Don't chase the poor! Besides, it is not known whether there are ambushes in the dark woods.

Unfortunately, the tall figure had rushed into the woods.

Clenching the ice refining in his hand, Gu Yun said to Su Ren: "you stay in the army, food and grass are the most important!" Actually also a head into the woods.

"The end of Qing Dynasty -"

not far away, Leng Xiao and Ge Jingyun are standing outside the tent, looking at the diminishing fire not far away. A familiar voiceless voice comes to their ears, "Leng Xiao and Ge Jingyun, follow me."

Two people look back, it is Gu Yun.

Her dark figure almost disappeared in the woods. They took a look at each other, but they didn't think much about it. They immediately followed her.

Gu Yun ran in front, Leng Xiao and Ge Jingyun followed closely. The deeper they ran into the woods, the more soft and slippery the land was under their feet, and the darker it was around them. They could only vaguely see people. Just when the three people didn't know which direction to pursue, the sound of weapon fighting not far away pointed out the direction for them.

The three rushed towards the direction of the sound. Strangely, the fighting did not last long. Gu Yun was puzzled. She had a fight with Han Shu. His martial arts were not weak, so he would not be subdued with so many moves, would he?

Although there was no sound to guide them, the good thing was that they were in the right direction. Soon they saw a dark shadow in the distance. They were about three or four men.

They are putting something into a big cloth bag. Gu Yun is shocked to see that Han Shu has been captured. If it's not for these people's evil moves, their martial arts are so high!

Seeing that two of them were about to run away with their sacks on their shoulders, Gu Yun yelled, "stop!"

Several people were all surprised. Looking up, they found that three figures in the dense forest were running towards them at a very fast speed. What surprised them was not that someone came after them, but when there were women in the army? Although the voice was sharp just now, I knew it was a woman's voice as soon as I heard it.

"Take him first, and they'll give it to me." In the dark, Gu Yun heard a very low male voice. The accent was a little strange, not like the accent of ordinary people. In the dark environment, you can't see each other's appearance. Just listen to the voice. It should be a young man.

The three men behind him tacitly lifted up the cloth bag and left. In such an environment, it is absolutely impossible for them to find another person if they escape. This man should be the leader of these people, and his martial arts must be the highest. After Gu Yun secretly analyzed it, he said to Leng Xiao and Ge Jingyun, "you two catch up."

"Yes." Leng Xiao and Ge Jingyun left and right one by one, and they surrounded them.

The man's eyes were cold. He had a long whip in his hand. Even in such a dark forest, he could see the strange golden light on the whip.

In order to catch up with him, Gu Yun took the lead in drawing his sword. With the sharp cold, he refined the scabbard with ice.The man was swept away by the long white sword in front of him. The cold air between the front of the sword made his heart tremble. What a sword!

At the moment when the man is in a daze, Leng Xiao and Ge Jingyun have passed him and are chasing the three.

The man didn't care. He seemed more interested in the sword and the people holding it.

The woman was approaching him, and the chilling chill was approaching. The man was curious about what kind of woman could control such a good sword.

Squinting, it was a thin woman who only reached his chest. She was dressed in black and almost integrated with the night. She couldn't see her appearance, but her posture of holding the sword was like a practitioner.

Clenching the whip, the man waved it to Gu Yun's chest with all his strength. Gu Yun's body flashed sideways very quickly, and the whip lashed hard on the ground, leaving a groove more than three inches deep.
