"Squeak-" The door was pushed open again, and the cold wind invaded the room again, almost extinguishing the oil lamp lit by the medical officer Lao Chen. Driven by the winter wind, the flame of the oil lamp rose and fell suddenly, as if it was almost extinguished, and the flames were swaying. The flames illuminated the house in flickering light, making the faces of the three people inside the house look uncertain.
Old Chen changed his confident look when he was talking to Yan Qingchuan and became a different person. With a smile on his face, he turned around and greeted the visitor: "General Gao, you'd better rest for the injury on your shoulder. Why are you so anxious? Came here again."
Seeing Lao Chen's flickering smile under the lamplight, Gao Deng's small eyes seemed to be wary, and he smiled and said: "You old boy is very fast, and Lao Xu and I only caught up with him while riding." Gotta fuck you."
Old Chen Junli replied: "General Gao is ridiculous. After all, Old Chen was once a member of the Yanbei Army. Although he is a little older, it is not a problem to march on time. Besides, it was General Gao who ordered me to be on time. Give me the medicine, why don't I come and take a look right now, so as not to miss the general's important event."
Gordon narrowed his eyes and smiled at the stern-looking Xu An, "Old Xu, look, let me tell you, no one in this patrol knows what I am thinking as well as Old Chen."
After finishing speaking, he opened his small eyes slightly and looked towards the unconscious Yan Qingchuan on the ground. He saw Commander Yan, his eyes were blurred, his mouth was drooling, and he looked groggy. He turned to Lao Chen and said, "Why are you still here?" Didn’t wake up."
Old Chen bowed and said, "The general ordered me to give medicine on time. Old Chen didn't dare to neglect, so I just gave him Ruanjin San."
Gordon did not speak, but walked to Yan Qingchuan's side, held up the half-awake Yan Qingchuan's cheek and looked at him, frowned and said behind him: "There won't be any problem with your medicine, right? He is Yan Ruohai's only son, if something goes wrong, not even the Holy One can save our lives."
When Old Chen heard this, he seemed to be panicked. He hurriedly approached and said, "General... don't scare the villain. This... is he the son of Master Yan?"
Gordon looked back, his small eyes looked at Lao Chen for a moment, then he looked away and said, "How many times have I tricked you? This medicine..."
"Don't worry, general. When you mobilized the troops, you told me that all you need is numbing. My medicine is Ruanjin Powder, which will prevent him from exerting his internal energy and will never hurt his life." Lao Chen looked panicked, only Gao Gao said Halfway through the conversation, he responded hurriedly.
Seeing Old Chen's panic, Gordon narrowed his eyes again and said with a smile: "Of course I feel relieved when Old Chen takes the medicine. I thought the effect of the medicine had worn off before, but now it seems that it will take some time before he can wake up. "
When he got up, he seemed to have a wound on his shoulder, and he bared his teeth and said, "Oh... well, Lao Xu and I will go back first. Lao Chen, I'll leave this to you, Commander Yan."
"Don't worry, General, there are elite guards of our patrol outside this room. I will leave Commander Yan to Old Chen. I will not let him suffer any injustice. But... if we treat Master Yan's son like this, he will be thunderous in the future. In anger, our little lives..." Upon hearing the general's words, Lao Chen hurriedly saluted and spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw General Xu beside him who had never spoken, but his eyes were fixed on Commander Yan who was tied like a rice dumpling on the ground.
Old Chen understood immediately, smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly leaned over to untie the rope around Yan Qingchuan: "Look at Old Chen's lack of eyesight..."
As he untied the rope, he heard Gordon speak coldly: "Old Chen, since you are a member of my patrol, you only need to obey orders and act. The follow-up matter will be investigated by Master Yan. I am the one who will support you."
With his back to Gao Deng, Lao Chen hurriedly nodded and bowed in agreement, but his face did not show the nervous and flattering look just now.
Glancing at Old Chen's back, Gordon narrowed his gaze and turned to Xu An, who had a solemn look on his side. Knowing that he must have been confused after listening to his words, he reached out and patted Xu An on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Old Xu. There’s nothing to do here, come with me for a walk.”
As Gordon expected, Xu An was not only confused at this moment, but could only be described as at a loss. He was patted on the shoulder by General Gao, and then he came to his senses. When he looked back, he saw that General Gao had turned around and went straight out. Leave.
Taking three steps and two steps at a time, Xu An caught up with the general and saw that he was sending away his accompanying personal guards as if they were waiting for him. Only then did he get to Gao's side and heard him speak slowly: "Old Xu, you have something in your heart." concern,
I can understand it, but in this world, people must make choices, you..."
"Report—" Before Gao Deng could finish his words, he heard shouting from far away. Looking for the reputation, he went to see the messenger soldiers coming quickly. When he saw the two generals Gao and Xu, they hurriedly got off their horses and came.
Kneeling on one knee, the messenger rushed to Gao Deng and reported to the army: "Report to the general that the whereabouts of the people of Mo County have been found in the Yanbei Mountain behind Mo County."
Hearing this, Gao Deng's eyes flashed and he shouted, "Please tell me the details."
The messenger clasped his fists and continued to speak: "Yes! Several generals led their troops to search and found that Mo Shoumin was leading the people of Mo County to the main road. It seemed that he wanted to go somewhere else for temporary shelter, but several generals had already stopped him. Save."
Under the cover of night, it was unclear what kind of expression was in Gao Deng's small eyes. I could only see him thinking for a moment and then commanding in a deep voice: "Okay! I would like to ask you, general, whether any of the people of Mo County have ever escaped... "
"No!" the soldier said hurriedly.
"Pass my general's order to patrol the garrison and protect the people back to the city."
"Got the order!" The messenger got up and rode away.
Xu An, who was beside him, had just seen the flash of cold light in Gao Deng's eyes. When he was about to speak, Gao Deng tilted his head and ordered: "Xu An, listen to the order."
Hearing this, Xu An was startled and at a loss. After hesitating for a moment, he knelt down with fists clasped in a military salute and shouted: "The general is here."
"You lead three hundred light cavalry and quickly go up the mountain to find Yang Huchen's whereabouts among the people of Mojun. Capture him on the spot without any mistakes." Gao Deng ordered.
Xu An suddenly raised his eyes and said in surprise: "General Yang is loyal and patriotic..."
Only halfway through his words, he saw the sharp light in the general's eyes, and he swallowed back the second half of the sentence. However, he then thought about General Wan's fate. Worried, he couldn't help but ask: "Dare I ask General, after the capture?" , but what to do.”
Gordon's eyes flickered, murderous intent and hesitation intertwined. After a moment, he slowly said: "Capture Mo County and I will interrogate him personally."
Hearing these words, Xu An, who was kneeling in military salute, finally breathed a sigh of relief, stood up proudly, took the military order and said: "I have the order, the general will lead the troops forward now."
Looking at Xu An who was riding away, Gao Deng shifted his eyes slightly and turned to the room behind him where Yan Qingchuan was being held. His fearful eyes flashed away, and then he was escorted by his own soldiers behind him. After whispering a few instructions, he mounted his horse and went back. Within the Sheriff's Department.
The season is approaching early spring, the cold nights are not as long as before, the sky has turned slightly red, and the morning light is about to reappear.
The patrol soldiers guarding the north gate of Mojun couldn't help but yawned and fell into a drowsy state. Seeing this, the team leader beside him hurriedly reprimanded the soldiers. Their sleepiness was temporarily gone, and they all worked hard to guard the city gate.
Perhaps he had listened to the howling of the cold wind all night and the rustling of dead branches. The patrol soldiers guarding the gate had lowered their alertness for the slightest noise, and did not notice at all the unconcealed sounds under the cold wind. The soldiers heard the sound of clothes, until three figures, one green, one white, and one ink, appeared a few feet away from the north gate.
The soldier caught a glimpse of the three-color blurry figure appearing, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he lost all sleepiness. He raised his spear high and shouted loudly at the figure in front: "Who is that person?"
This loud shout made the remaining soldiers raise their heads in search of reputation, and they saw three figures walking towards them with guns in hand.
The three of them were Gu Xiao and the others who rushed back all the way after taking a moment to adjust their breath. They had deduced from the abduction of Mr. Yun that it was He Ji who wanted to kidnap people out of Yanbei, and the Golden Blade Sect behind him was even more closely related to the robbery. He was implicated in plundering the people of Yanbei and attacking the patrols. At the same time, he returned to Mo County to seek help from Yan Qingchuan, and wanted to use his power to mobilize the Yanbei army to intercept.
Hurrying on with all his strength, Gu Xiao replied that Yan Qingchuan had sent reinforcements, so he did not hide his figure.
They were a little tired after walking all the way, but the vigilance of these gatekeepers fell into the eyes of the three of them. The man in the dark-colored robe who was walking at the end of the three people seemed to be puzzled, and he spoke to the young man in the ragged green robe in front. .
"Brother Mu, didn't you say that before falling into the valley, you helped the patrol to suppress the bandits? From what I saw, their movements did not look like they were here to greet the savior."
The young man looked at his rags and laughed at himself and replied: "Brother Chixin, there are many soldiers on patrol, but not all of them have seen me. What's more, I look like this now. I can't be regarded as a bandit."
The thief is pretty good. "
After finishing speaking, he turned back to Jiang Ningxue and said: "Miss Jiang, when I came here just now, I saw lights everywhere in Mo County. I think it was Brother Yan who sent reinforcements to bring all the people of Mo County back to Mo County. , I will enter Mo County soon. I will first find this military medical officer to bandage the wound on my arm... If your internal injuries are not healed, you should adjust your breathing in Mo County first. Regarding chasing people, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Ningxue's cold autumn eyes seemed to be filled with suspicion, as if he was doubting that he was going to leave her alone again, thinking that in his haste that day, he violated their agreement and left her alone in the wind. Jiabao recovered from his injuries and went on the road alone. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed, so he had to cough a few times to ease the atmosphere.
Looking back, the patrolling soldiers were approaching the three men. Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the leading young man, they were full of doubts. But when all the soldiers turned their eyes back to the woman in white, they were all shocked by Jiang Ningxue's beauty.
Although the fluttering white clothes were stained with some filth and looked slightly embarrassed, her stunningly beautiful face looked more like a snow lotus emerging from the mud but unstained against the backdrop of these slightly filthy white clothes, which was pitiful.
Fortunately, Gu Xiao and the others did not have any ill intentions. Otherwise, if they had taken action at this time, the patrolling soldiers would have been killed by the sword before they could recover in time.
The leading corps commander had seen a bit of the world. Although he was temporarily distracted by Jiang Ningxue's peerless appearance, he forced himself to look away for just a moment and shouted to the soldiers beside him: "What are you looking at? Don't worry. You must forget, we are here to suppress bandits in Mo County."
With a loud shout from the corps commander, the soldiers finally came to their senses and recalled the mission they had shouldered. Only then did they realize that there was something fishy about the three of them. Mo County was attacked by bandits. Needless to say, the leading young man was in ragged clothes. This woman in white I saw how pitiful he was, and it was already suspicious that he could reach the gate of Mojun City, not to mention that there was this man in a black shirt following behind him.
The soldiers noticed something fishy, not to mention the corps commander. He scanned the three of them with his eyes and spoke in a rough tone of soldiers: "Where did you three come from and why are you here. "
Gu Xiao lowered his head and looked at his embarrassed appearance. Not to mention these soldiers who were already on guard, even ordinary people would regard him as a bandit who had been living in the mountains and forests all year round. If Jiang was not like a fairy, Ningxue was still by her side, but the patrolling soldiers were too lazy to ask and just took her down.
"Brothers from the patrol army, I... have an old relationship with the general, so I came here to pay my respects. I hope you can pass this on." Gu Xiao gathered his thoughts and bowed his hands.
When several patrol soldiers heard that the young man had come looking for his general, they couldn't help but look at each other. After a moment, they all raised their heads and laughed. The laughter was not ridicule, but they didn't believe that the ragged boy in front of them knew their own general. General.
Yanbei's military discipline has always been strict. Although the corps commander on the side was teased by the young man's words and wanted to laugh, his guard disappeared. He suppressed his laughter and said to persuade: "Young man, don't look at the excitement here and join in. , let me tell you, there are bandits in Mo County, and the back mountain is not safe, so you guys are still going back and forth from wherever you go."
After saying this, Wu Chang shouted to the soldiers who had not stopped laughing: "Why are you laughing? You may have violated military discipline and you will be punished. Stop laughing. Follow me back quickly and guard the city gate."
