Zhuo Bufan was not pretentious about what he said about the master of tan legs. If he couldn't entrust his safety and great cause to them, they would be meaningless. Zhuo Bufan believed in Tong Lao's vision and his own judgment in the past few days. In other words, through his own feelings over the past few days, Zhuo Bufan knew that these people carefully selected by Tong Lao were absolutely trustworthy. He believed in Tong Lao's vision, but he still had to go through his own considerations and trust. It doesn't matter, it really does matter.
Zhuo Bufan¡¯s nod was an affirmation to everyone, and he also entrusted his life to everyone. []
Wu Sijian heard that Zhuo Bufan was leaving immediately. Although he was surprised, he did not hesitate at all. The horses were already prepared. Not only that, the dry food and the guard team were also prepared. This is the benefit of a smart person like Wu Sijian, who knows what to ask and what to do. Zhuo Bufan didn't use too many polite words. He took a deep look at Wu Sijian and patted his shoulder, that's all.
Although it was already approaching evening, Zhuo Bufan and his party still rushed into the ice, snow and cold wind without hesitation. Accompanying them were two hundred guards selected by Wu Sijian. It's not that there's not enough manpower, it's that once we get out of the gate, the Tatars will dominate the world. A team of 20,000 people is probably more dangerous than a team of 200 people. As the commander-in-chief guarding Haishan Pass, Wu Sijian had nearly 100,000 men under his command, and these two hundred men were all Wu Sijian's direct subordinates, equivalent to the status of the veterans of the Shenlong Army's Western Army.
They are all good men from Dahua. This is how Wu Sijian felt when he saw two hundred guards. They don't have the equipment of the Shenlong Army soldiers, but they are still energetic, confident and unruly. A group of more than two hundred people headed north, facing the cold wind like a knife.
Jiangnan, a gentle waterway, most of the waterways in Jiangnan are so gentle and easy-going, unchanged for thousands of years. The awning boat moved slowly along the current, and the stern rocking oar swayed with the waves in the water without anyone controlling it.
Inside the awning, a pair of old boatmen and maidservants were sitting opposite each other.
"Eighteen, I always feel a little flustered.", the old woman suddenly said.
Another old man with white hair and beard showed an expression that he shouldn't have at this age when he heard this and said: "Liangzi, don't worry. These Chinese people can see the flaws in our disguise skills. There are three levels along the way, one problem. None, don¡¯t worry, the rescue team will be here tomorrow, and by then, we will exit into the sea, even if it¡¯s Tong Lao, we don¡¯t have to worry about anything.¡±
The two of them turned out to be Yan Shiba and Mu Liangzi dressed in disguise. At this time, they were close to the coast, and they seemed to be able to smell the sea breeze.
"But, I still feel panicked. I always feel that something is going to happen." Mu Liangzi said, lifting the ship's plank and looking at the little bell with his eyes closed, his tone seemed to be filled with love and compassion.
"You are just soft-hearted. If you ask me, it is right to get rid of this burden as soon as possible. Speed ??up and rush to the sea. That is our world." Yan Shiba said disapprovingly.
Mu Liangzi rolled his eyes at him and murmured: "I never complained when I left my hometown with you. But life is so simple. I always feel that this extraordinary general is not simple. We have such hatred with him. I don¡¯t know whether it¡¯s a curse or a blessing.¡±
Yan Shiba was stunned when he heard this. He also thought about it for a moment and said: "This person is indeed difficult to see through. But, Liangzi, don't forget the mission we bear. Do you remember what the master said to us before coming? In other words, our country has a narrow territory. If we want to strengthen ourselves in the world, China-Earth is our goal. This fertile land is the world we should enjoy as we strive for self-improvement and diligence!"
Mu Liangzi looked melancholy when he heard this, and whispered in a voice that could almost be heard by himself: "I understand. However, sheep only eat green grass and are slaughtered by others, but it may not be because they are lazy and unwilling to make progress. It's true. When a mouthful of grass can't satisfy your hunger, you may not turn into a lion. I always feel that we are teasing a sleeping lion."
Yan Shiba heard this and said angrily: "A sheep will always be a sheep, how could it become a lion? In their words, you are trying to embolden other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige. Dahua is a vast land, rich and vast, but look at it, apart from internal fighting and consumption, , what else can they do? Now that they have powerful Tatar enemies in the north and chaos raging in the country, this is a good opportunity for us. The entire East China Sea is already our world. You see, Taiwan is occupied by our allies, the Dutch, and the entire sea There is no sign of Dahua. And what are they doing? Ban customs trade and seal up ocean-going ships. But they don¡¯t know that now it is a maritime world. The master is far-sighted and semi-sealed but focuses on self-reliance. As long as we survive the current difficulties, our nation of Yamato will surely We will dominate the Central Plains and stand proudly in the world!"
Mu Liangzi was stunned for a while, unable to refute, and just murmured: "But, what about Zhuo Bufan, whom you and I know well?"
Yan Shiba also looked serious when he heard this, and murmured: "This person is our strong enemy after all. When he returns to the imperial capital, he will definitely report it to the master and find a way to get rid of this disaster."?That's it. "
????????????????????????????? For some reason, these words were spoken in the language of Dahua. Little Bell, who had just breathed in the fresh air and became more conscious, heard these words. At this time, Xiao Lingdang, who had been imprisoned for many days, did not show any special expression, but clenched his teeth, but he had firmly remembered these words in his heart. As long as he did not die, he would definitely tell his brother that in the east of the sea and sky, there are Powerful enemies surround you.
Mu Liangzi looked at the little bell with his nose slightly twitching, sighed, and said softly: "Sister, don't blame your sister, you and I are not from the same roots. Sister, don't worry, my sister will definitely report that you are fine, and wait until the sunrise. In my country, my sister¡¯s hometown, there are many good men like Hattori.¡±
"Little Lingdang's face turned red, and her expression looked like she had eaten a fly. Yan Shiba snorted coldly: "Junior sister, those who do great things must not be benevolent as women. When we meet the Dutch, the first thing we do is to get rid of this scourge."
"You dare." Mu Liangzi suddenly showed unprecedented determination and rebelliousness, and said angrily: "I, Liangzi, am a woman! Yamaguchi Shiba, if you dare to touch her, I will die for you!"
"You!" Yan Shiba was extremely angry. He had already raised his right hand, but it did not fall down after all. He retracted his hand in annoyance and turned his head angrily. Could it be that he has lived in Dahua for too long and he can't do it no matter what. This is absolutely unthinkable in an island country where men are superior to women.
"Little Lingdang looked at Mu Liangzi, with a trace of gratitude in her eyes, as if she had a thousand words to say, but she couldn't say a single word.
Mu Liangzi sighed and gently closed the boat plank again. At this time, the awning boat was traveling on the river in the wilderness. Suddenly, there was a sound of dry winter reeds breaking. Although it was only an unusually slight sound, Mu Liangzi and Yan Shiba stood up at the same time and took out their waistbands. Short sword.
The two looked at each other, and after the disguise, beads of sweat immediately appeared on their old and wrinkled foreheads. Where did the sound of people breaking reeds come from in this wilderness?
In the North, a sudden snowstorm broke out, and the ice crystals driven by the strong wind made it difficult to breathe. A small group of soldiers and horses marched hard in the snowstorm.
Yi Zhihua approached Zhuo Bufan, supported the swaying Zhuo Bufan and shouted loudly: "General, the wind and snow are too strong, the horse can no longer hold up, should we stop and take shelter, wait for the wind and snow to stop before leaving?" "
Zhuo Bufan's eyebrows turned into ice and he covered his mouth and nose with his hands before he could answer: "No! The snowstorm is a good opportunity for us. In such weather, the Tatars will not have large-scale actions. They cannot stop, but instead We need to speed up! This is the opportunity God has given us!"
Yi Zhihua nodded when he heard the words, and made a firm gesture to everyone to move forward. Everyone, including Wu Sijian's two hundred soldiers, dismounted and led the horses on foot, slowly but firmly, all the way to the north. At this time, the people with fur protection were not too troubled. On the contrary, those Han horses could not adapt to such severe cold weather.
Suddenly, there was a faint sound in the wind and snow. The leading tan-leg master stood up and raised his right arm, and everyone stopped. The sound of men and horses trampling on the snow immediately disappeared, leaving only the knife-like whistle of the wind and snow and the faint sound in the distance.
Suddenly, the leader of Wu Sijian's two hundred guards took out his saber. At random, all the soldiers took out their ice blades. Instead of thunder and wind and snow, it was the roar of war cavalry.
??Outside this windy and snowy pass, in the wilderness, where can there be a large army of soldiers and horses? There is no other possibility except the Tatar cavalry.
"General!", the team leader ran to Zhuo Bufan as hard as he could and shouted: "Go quickly! Leave this to us!"
There was no nonsense. The leader did not wait for Zhuo Bufan to reply, and turned around and jumped into the wind and snow. Two hundred guards quickly gathered together. The horses around him were still fighting the severe cold. How could they still ride on them. When a continuous black shadow appeared in the wind and snow in the distance, all the soldiers unanimously pierced the ice blades in their hands towards their mounts. There was a burst of grief, the horses were hurt, and disappeared in the endless wind and snow, running towards them with difficulty. direction of travel.
Zhuo Bufan turned around and stared, gave the people who had gathered a hard look, turned around and waved his hand, seven masters gathered around, also gave up their mounts, picked up Zhuo Bufan, and ran towards the far north with strength.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?? Zhuo Bufan lowered his head, with a livid face. With the support of the people around him, he held his breath and ran forward without looking back. However, the dim and burning blood in his eyes sounded like war drums in his ears. Kill, kill! Good sons and daughters of China, today¡¯s blood is imprinted in my heart. Your blood and shouts are the clarion call for the rise of China.
The wind and snow are like a barrier, quickly breaking all the sounds behind them, leaving only the things that can be broken apart in the world.The cold wind in the fur, the breathless ice and snow, and the row of deep footprints.
Faintly, the rumble of horse hooves came from behind again. Looking back, a black line appeared like the devil's grin in the white sky where the sky and the earth meet.
