The leader glanced at Wu Jie and said, "Of course I can borrow a horse, but there are many thieves. It's better to wait for General Liu to return before making any arrangements." Wu Jie said, "It's okay. I'm just trying to find out where the thieves are. Please help me, brother." One or two.¡±
Seeing the persistence, the leader of the Song soldiers said nothing and asked someone to go to the city gate to lead the horse out.
Wu Jie turned to his sergeants and said: "Brothers, please go to the city to rest for the time being. Wait for General Liu to return and ask him to send a message to General Qu Duan." The sergeants said in unison: "I am willing to go with Captain Wu. "
Wu Jie was excited and said to the sergeants with clasped fists in his hands: "Thank you all brothers, Jie Bucai. It's rare for brothers to treat each other like this. But I'm just here to find out where the thieves are. It's not beautiful in large numbers. Brothers, please go into the city and have a good rest." Just wait for Jin Qing to return."
Seeing his persistence, his subordinates were speechless. Wu Jie got on his horse, hit the horse and headed towards the official road where he had just come.
The leader of the Song soldiers looked at his back and praised: "This man is really brave."
Wu Jie was so anxious that he didn't care about being discovered by the traitor. He just hoped that Wu Jialiang would not be far away. As for what he should do after catching up, he didn't think about it.
At this time, it was already bright, and some people were walking on the official road. Wu Jie chased for more than ten miles, but did not see a single soldier. He was very curious: Could it be that the traitors had gone another way? With the speed of his horse, he should have caught up with those infantrymen long ago.
He turned back and chased him a few more times on other side roads, but still came back without success.
At this time, the sun has slowly risen. Wu Jie has been walking for a day and fighting all night. He is really tired. Looking around like a headless fly is not an option. He just watches the time slowly pass by, and the thieves are getting closer and closer. Far away, but anxious in my heart.
He rode his horse to a relatively remote intersection. There was a three-way road here. He was thinking about which road he should go to pursue. An old man on the right road walked in a panic and hurried over from a distance. .
Wu Jie was surprised to see that he was still walking in such a hurry at such an old age. He stepped forward and asked, "I'm walking slowly. I'm in such a hurry. Is there anything going on ahead?" The old man saw that he was an officer. , hurriedly stopped and panted: "Master, it seems that there was a battle up front last night. There were so many dead people. I was scared to death." When Wu Jie heard this, he glanced behind him and said: "Old man, please go quickly. The government office has reported the news, I will go and have a look first."
The old man bowed hastily and ran forward. Wu Jie galloped towards the road on the right.
The front turned into a valley, with high mountains on both sides, and a path winding through the mountains. When Wu Jie saw the terrain, it was a perfect place for an ambush.
Wu Jie drew his saber and came out. He moved forward carefully and turned around a field of sorghum. He saw many corpses lying scattered on the roadside, on the grass, at the foot of the mountain, etc. The clothes these people were wearing were from yesterday. The thieves under Shi Bin that I saw.
Wu Jie roughly counted and found that more than 300 thieves died here. The strange thing was that there was no corpse of any opponent. It seemed that someone had set up an ambush here in advance. As soon as these thieves entered, they collected their bags, but Even if there is an ambush, it is extremely impossible to kill more than 300 thieves without killing a single person, unless the person who set up the ambush took away the bodies of his own people.
Wu Jie looked carefully and found that the weapons and flags of these traitors were all there. The big word "Lu" on the flag was the Lu Xinxin's unit of Shi Bin's right army who chased Wu Jie last night. But did Lu Xinxin die here? But there is no way to know.
The corpses of these bandits did not look like those that had been turned over. This shows that the enemy did not clean up the battlefield. However, in the Song Dynasty, the only people with such strength were the Song Dynasty official army. However, the official army suppressed bandits openly and honestly, even without these weapons and flags. , how could you not go through the thief's clothes and collect some of the thief's belongings?
"These people evacuated in a hurry, but it seemed that they just wanted to kill these traitors and did not want others to know. Didn't the official army now have a credit as big as a mung bean and rush to Bianliang in Tokyo? It was as if I was afraid that someone would rob me if I reported late.
Wu Jie shook his head, but he couldn't figure it out. He rode around the back mountain, dismounted and climbed up to the position where the ambush had been. There was a boot left there. He thought someone rushed down and left in a hurry, and the boot was lost. I don't know, Wu Jie is naturally familiar with these boots. He is wearing these black cloth-soled soap boots. These are the military boots uniformly distributed by the Northwest Army of the Song Dynasty.
It seems that it was really the Song Dynasty official army who did this. Wu Jie thought to himself, although he didn't know why these people evacuated in a hurry, but after killing so many thieves, they were not mediocre people. He just didn't know the female prisoner. Is it possible that among these thieves, the male prisoner who led away Lu Xinxin's men has been killed?
Wu Jie looked atIn the distance, surrounded by mountains, the path wound forward, heading straight into the distance. He made up his mind to follow the path down the mountain, hoping to find something.
As he was about to go down the mountain, a half-length wooden pole exposed under the loess at his feet caught his attention. He stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull out the wooden pole, but a black flag was buried in the loess.
Wu Jie naturally recognized this flag. The Song Army in the northwest had been at war with Xixia for many years, and he could not be more familiar with this flag belonging to the Xixia Army.
Wu Jie suddenly felt that this incident was even more bizarre. Could it be that the Xixia army came to the Song Dynasty to clean up the civil strife for its opponents? This is simply a big joke, but if the Song army ambushed the rebels who rebelled against the imperial court, they could have rejoiced greatly for fear that no one in the world would know, but they used the flag of the Xixia army to cover it up, and even before running away He hurriedly buried the Xixia flag.
Wu Jie thought for a moment and re-buried the Xixia flag without showing any trace. He walked down the mountain and rode straight towards the path.
He was here wondering whether Fang Sanwei had been killed by these ambush soldiers. At this time, Fang Sanwei was lying on the hillside and slept until dawn.
He was finally awakened by the crowing of roosters in the distance, but he had never heard a real rooster crowing in his previous life.
Fang Sanwei sat up, his pants were wet with dew from the grass in the mountains, and he felt several bug bites on his back, which made him feel itchy and uncomfortable.
The rising sun cast its rays lazily on the earth. Looking around, there was green everywhere. On a big tree not far away, an unknown bird was chirping with a very loud voice. Beautiful.
Fang Sanwei yawned and stood up. He scratched the itch on his back and walked down the slope. He could vaguely see a village and town in the distance, but he couldn't see clearly. A road was like a long snake not far from the front. , spiraling into the distance.
Fang Sanwei felt extremely hungry in his belly and wanted to find something to eat. He saw a few jujube trees on the cliff not far away, with a few small green fruits hanging on them. He found a branch and broke off a few. The jujube branch was moved closer, and he picked a few jujube green fruits to eat. The stones of the green fruits were not yet hard, so he swallowed them together. Although the green fruits were very small and tasteless, he ate them with gusto. After all, he was hungry. It's been too long.
Where should he go now?
Fang Sanwei thought that he should go to a place with many people first, and at least find a shirt to wear. Being naked made him very uncomfortable, and he also needed to find some food to eat. The little noodles and sweet potatoes he ate yesterday were too much for breakfast. Just digested.
There was a small ravine separating him from the main road. He decided to cross the ravine to the main road and walk along the road. There would always be villages and towns.
There was a very small stream flowing in the small ditch. Fang Sanwei walked to the stream and saw that the stream was clear. He had already been dry, so he reached out and closed his palms, scooped up a few handfuls of water and drank it. It's cool and refreshing, and it actually has a hint of sweetness. I think this is authentic mineral water, which is extremely difficult to drink in future generations.
Fang Sanwei drank the water and washed his face well. He looked down at his clothes and shoes. He didn't know where the clothes he was wearing were torn and torn. The shorts on his upper body had already been given to the female prisoner Yelu. The red bird walked away. After running around all night, the pants had already been ripped by small bushes and had several holes. The legs of the pants were even in strips. The ground where I slept last night was stained with grass green and yellow earth colors. It looked very Indecent.
This pair of shoes is a pair of black-faced and white-soled flat-soled fast boots. The loess has made it difficult to distinguish the original color. The toes of the right foot have holes, and the big toe is proudly exposed.
Fang Sanwei sat on the ground and took off the boots from his feet. A pungent foot odor hit him. He quickly covered his mouth and nose, threw his boots further away, stretched his feet in the loess and used the loess. He wiped his feet and then put his feet into the stream. The stream was extremely cool and made him feel particularly comfortable.
Fang Sanwei lay down and stretched for a long time. He looked up at the blue sky. Under the cover of a few white clouds, it was truly beautiful as he had never seen before. A few sparrows flapped their wings and flew into the distance. High in the sky, a goshawk was gliding and flying around.
This wonderful feeling made him forget the thrilling experience last night. He was a person who had no ambitions, but could live with the situation. Now that he was here, he felt the beautiful scenery that he had never experienced in his previous life and lived in the big city like this. Song, he was also extremely happy.
He lay there for a while and heard someone nearby spraying water on the water. Fang Sanwei looked for the sound, but saw a big man pouring water into a big gourd at the downstream stream no more than three feet away from him. He fell into the stream, but his eyes were staring at him, looking extremely angry.
This big man looks like he is in his mid-twenties and is wearing a shabby jacket.There were a lot of grass blades on it. He had a big beard all over his face, his hair was long and covered his forehead, his hands were strong and strong, and he had a chopping ax slanted on his waist.
The big man looked at him and spit heavily on the ground several times, as if he had eaten something unclean and wanted to spit it out.
