There are many treasures in this country

"General, you can't go."

"The general must never act impulsively."

"General, this must be a trap set by Tu Shanguo."

"General, if the head coach is not here, something will happen!"

"Master! Can you calm down!"

Shen Yan couldn't help but take off his armor, put on a black robe, and said, "I'm very calm now. Stop talking nonsense, go and bring me the horse."

Eleven and Ruan Tong looked at each other.The latter waved his hands, watching Shen Yan busily packing up his things, and seeing him go to the table to pack the two pieces of millet yellow cake that he hadn't eaten just now in oiled paper, his hands trembling, folded left and right Late package is not good.

"Let me come, general." Ruan Tong walked to him, "This cake will be dried the day after tomorrow. The place where Master Xiao was robbed is far away, and it takes two days to get there. Why should the general take it with you?" .”

Shen Yan took the fur from the hanger beside the bed, stuffed it into the bag, and said: "It won't take that long, the horse is very fast, I took a shortcut overnight, and I will arrive tomorrow morning."

"What about the military affairs?" Ruan Tong handed him the cake, "How will the general deal with it?"

"I've thought about it, this trip must be going." Shen Yan thought for a while, opened the curtain, and saw Babao standing outside, beckoning: "Come in, tell me, Where did the young master disappear from?"

Babao wiped the ashes from his face, took a piece of cake from Ruan Tong, swallowed it whole, and said: "The little one was ordered to help the refugees along the way. There was no one. The shopkeeper in the inn said that the young master and his party stayed at night, and the shopkeeper slept soundly at night, and it was a little late when they went to call during the day. Unexpectedly, no one was in the house, not even the big carts. Now they are complaining and complaining, saying that they didn’t expect these big officials to stay in the Bawang Inn, and they want to avoid paying. The little ones galloped all the way, and the road became more and more desolate. No, it wasn't until I came here that I was sure that the young master was really missing!"

"Could it be another way?" Ruan Tong handed him a glass of water.

Babao raised his neck and drank it to the brim, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said: "Impossible. The young master said that this time the food transportation route was determined by the Ministry of War, and changing it without authorization is a serious crime of beheading. And this road is The safest thing is that there are bandits on the side roads. Our young master has such a temper, even if he had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to wander around."

"Which inn is it? Point to me." Shen Yan spread the map in front of him, pointed to a place on it and asked, "Is it here? The Pingguan Station outside Shahukou."

"No." Babao shook his head, "It's a private inn, it doesn't even have a name, it's not an official inn. I saw it on the way here, and there's only that one shop by the side of the road. station."

Ruan Tong took a step forward and said: "General, after the war, the emperor ordered to close all the border gates. Now the inns are out of business, and most of them are closed. I'm afraid that the inn will also be removed. The messengers in our army are all carrier pigeons. Pass it to the pass, and then pass it into the capital by the postmen. Even if it is an emergency military situation that is afraid of accidents, the scouts will send it directly into the pass on horseback."

"It doesn't matter, it's on the side of this road anyway, I'll just look for it." Shen Yan rolled up the map and stuffed it into his arms, and told Ruan Tong: "What you said is that there must be a commander in the army. This may be Tu Shanguo The plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain may be a trap with a net in front of it, but I must go. Even if it is not for Xiao Suo, the army's food and salary cannot be lost in vain."

He turned back and took the armor he had taken off, and continued: "I'm sorry for you to pretend to be me for a day, wearing armor, wearing a knife, and hiding from people, you won't attract attention. Although you are shorter than me, But it’s not much worse, and the difference in appearance is not too obvious from a distance. As long as you go out at night with the light behind you, no one will be suspicious. Even the eyes of the scouts will not be able to tell.”

Ruan Tong took the armor, responded, and heard him say: "You must keep this matter strictly confidential. You must not spread it to the outside world, and no one is allowed to tell it. Even if it is a trap, the other party does not know that we know about it now, and it will not happen for a while." If the other party hears that we know about it, it will be difficult to deal with it. Taking advantage of the time difference, the enemy is in the dark, and we are also in the dark, so we can still save the defeat. Besides, losing food and salary is not a small crime. Send it back to the capital, and all those escorting the military pay this time will be finished."

"Don't worry, general." Ruan Tong handed him the saber, and said lightly, "Leave the affairs of the camp to me, and nothing will happen. You can rest assured."

However, Shen Yan inserted the dagger into the boot, and picked up the long sword on one side: "You are holding the knife, which I carry with me all year round. I know you in the army, and I will not doubt your identity when I see you. I carry the sword Go, pretend to be a Jianghu person, and be more concealed."

Ruan Tong didn't refuse. He went into the inner tent and changed his clothes. When he came out, he saw Eleven was waiting there in disguise.Seeing this, Babao wants to go with him, but Shen Yan refuses: "You don't know martial arts, and going there is very dangerous, you'd better wait here honestly."

He patted Babao on the shoulder, and said: "You have worked hard on this journey, you should take a rest. The map on my body was drawn by people who are familiar with the geographical location of this place with reference to the military map. There are even trails up there, so you won’t get lost. I’ve fought in this area before, so don’t worry about it.”

Eleven took his bag and water bag, and asked, "Do you want to bring some brothers with good skills over there?"

"No need." Shen Yan waved his hand, "We're going secretly, it's not good if there are too many people, it's too eye-catching."

Everyone went out with him, passing by the guards, everyone saluted Ruan Tong, obviously regarded him as the coach.Shen Yan calmed down a lot, and led the horse straight to the back of the camp.

Ruan Tong hesitated and said: "There is a barren forest behind here. The general has passed since then. There are too many variables. Let's take the big road."

Shen Yan had already walked out of the camp, stepped on the horse, held the rein and said: "When this crisis is in danger, I just want to gamble. Go out from the front, and within half an hour, Tu Shan's army will know the news. If They really did it, and the Eight Treasures came back to report, it was a mistake they didn't count, and it happened to be used by me. Besides, it's freezing cold now, and the leaves of these trees have all fallen in sevens and eights, which can't cover the sky. It’s easy to identify the direction in Xia Tian, ​​and nothing will happen.”

He turned his horse's head around and said: "I'm going, you guys keep an eye on the camp. If it's a last resort, you can use the worst strategy."

Ruan Tong touched the soldier amulet given by Shen Yan in his arms, nodded, and watched him go away without looking back.

Xiao Suo just opened his eyes at this moment, this deep and long sleep made him dizzy.The cart was bumpier than the carriage, his hands and feet were bound, and it was difficult to turn over, his bones were so stiff that they were about to fall apart.

The soup they fed him last night probably contained Mihunsan. If you take too much of this substance, your mind will easily become unclear.He was a little worried.Fortunately, he doesn't know martial arts, and he has no internal and external strength, so the effect of the medicine is particularly long-lasting on him, so he can take less, which is finally a blessing in misfortune.

I don't know where they are going to take him. The past two days have been getting colder and colder, making his teeth chatter from the cold, but recently he seems to be walking back.Shen Yan used to say in bed that he looked like a little squirrel with his mouth open, but now he really looked like a little squirrel nibbling pine nuts.

He still had the heart to think about it.

It has been a day and night that water and rice have not touched his teeth, Xiao Suo is very hungry and thirsty.His lips were chapped and bleeding, and he felt slightly fishy and sweet when he licked them.Fortunately, he was not beaten—not counting the casual punching and kicking by those people, it was true that he was not beaten seriously.

He is quite satisfied.

The people who robbed him really tossed and went here and there, not knowing when they could rest.He squinted his eyes and peeped out from the gap in the cart, only to see a vast expanse of darkness, unable to see anything clearly.

Xiao Suo panicked, did he get farther and farther away from Shen Yan after walking away, and could not see him anymore?

The person who tied him up last night also said that he would be transported back to someone surnamed Zhang.Where did the person surnamed Zhang come from?Ever since he came to Beijing, no, since he offended Chen Jigu, it seems that his enemies have never been broken, and they keep appearing endlessly.

Thinking of this, he sighed and fell asleep in despair.

Shen Yan's horse had never been so fast. Shi Shi tried his best and changed his mount twice before he could barely keep up with him.Around midnight, they arrived at the inn that didn't even have a name.

When the shopkeeper heard that he was looking for the bullies who came to stay in the store six days ago, he immediately hugged Shen Yan's thigh and refused to let go, begging him to give the money, otherwise he would touch the pillar and die.

Eleven has a straightforward personality and extremely hard bones. He looks down on such people who run around like dogs and dogs the most. He drew out his knife and shouted: "Quickly let go, I will make grandpa angry, and I will kill you with one knife. The underworld wants money!"

"Don't talk nonsense." Shen Yan glared at him, took out two ingots of gold to the shopkeeper, picked him up like a rabbit, pressed him on the chair and asked, "Is this enough for the rent?"

"This is... gold?" The shopkeeper stared at the gold with two eyes, picked it up carefully and bit it, looked at Shen Yan's face, and slowly grinned: "Hey, enough is enough!"

"Wait a minute." Shen Yan held down his hand with the hilt of his sword, "Answer my question, these two babies are yours."

"Question?" The shopkeeper said with a grin, "You ask, you ask!"

Eleven couldn't wait, so he asked first, "Which room does the group who owe you the money live in, and where does the one who is particularly white and beautiful live?"

The shopkeeper blurted out: "It's right behind, that nobleman lives on the left, and the rest live on the right. The little one will take you there, this gold..."

"Yours."

Shen Yan hurriedly walked back, opened the door and looked around, only to see that the ground was clean, in this vast Gobi, there was not even muddy water.

"Have you cleaned it?" Eleven asked, grabbing the shopkeeper's hand.

"No, I didn't clean it very much, just...swept the floor." The shopkeeper murmured tremblingly.

Shen Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, looked left and right in the room, and suddenly walked to the window, touched the window sill made of earth with his index finger, and sniffed it with his nose.

"Ecstasy incense." Eleven stepped forward, his eyes fell on the window paper, "Look, sir, it's a trace of burning."

"It's definitely not done by the fans, at least they didn't do it themselves." Shen Yan turned and walked out, "This ecstasy incense is something from my Chaonan people. In the past, when the Ruyitang was in full swing, I often made this mess Means. There is a taste of heavenly fairy in it. It cannot be grown in the bitter cold and dry land of the Western Regions. The fanzi uses exotic fragrant medicines. I said so many people, how could they catch them without fighting. It turns out that they used drugs, eight Bao said that the shopkeeper had fallen asleep a bit, and it seemed that he was probably also intoxicated by the incense and didn't know it."

Eleven followed step by step, got on his horse after him, and asked, "Who would have done it? Could it be that the people in the court took the opportunity to get rid of Master Xiao?"

"I don't know." Shen Yan shook his head, "Then it wouldn't even lose the military salary. If so, they would just kidnap Xiao Suo. It's better to find someone first, and then everything will be clear."

Having said that, he turned back and asked the shopkeeper who sent it out: "Did a large group of people pass by in the past few days?"

The shopkeeper pondered for a while, and said: "It really is, go to the west."

Eleventh was afraid that Shen Yan was only in a hurry and forgot to comfort the Wu Zang Temple, so before he left, he hurriedly said: "Go get two bags of water, and pack some dry food."

The shopkeeper entered the store one after another, and ran out like a gust of wind, offering water.

Shen Yan threw him a silver coin, and ran west without stopping.Eleven raised his whip to keep up, and asked loudly: "Master, the west side is getting bigger, we just search for it, and there is no specific place!"

"The army has a lot of food and salaries, and there are at least dozens of Guangda vehicles. They have to be transported by someone, as well as Xiao Suo and the captured sergeants. With so many people, the target is huge, and there must be traces." Shen Yan said. "He stopped his horse with a bang, took out the map and looked at it for a while, pointed to the place marked with a cross and said, "Here, the dense forest in the Gobi, they will be stationed here."

"There are so many places, how can they be there?" Eleven was deeply suspicious.

Shen Yan whipped his whip, and snorted: "Stupid, you don't need to ask! There are so many people, and there is no water elsewhere, can they survive? Of course, we have to find an oasis."

Eleven pursed her lips, convinced, but muttered, "You're the only one who is smart."

They didn't drink or eat, they didn't stop, and they rushed to the dense forest at the bottom of the hill just after noon.Eleven was so hungry that he was so hungry that he took out the cake, took a bite or two, drank some water, lay down next to Shen Yan and asked, "Master, would you like to eat something?"

"You can eat it yourself." Shen Yan held the small telescope of Western tribute, squinted his eyes for a while, turned his face and said: "Those grain trucks are all there, and there are seals from the Ministry of Households on them. There are not many of them, you When we go back to mobilize troops, we must have good cavalry, let them walk quietly from the forest behind the camp where we came, and catch them by surprise. Don’t startle them, they will not be able to escape if they can’t walk fast with their chariots, horses, food and grass. "

"Yes." Eleven got up, dusted off the dirt, tied the water bag, dry food, and baggage to Shen Yan's saddle, turned around and said, "Then I'm leaving, general, be careful!"

Shen Yan waved his hand, and after he left, he led the horse to the other side of the slope, took out two cakes and devoured them hungrily.He has no appetite at the moment, but he has to eat, otherwise he will not have enough energy to persist.

All afternoon, he lay down on the slope and had a bird's-eye view of the situation below. There were hundreds of people in the other party, and they came and went very leisurely, as if they had nothing to do, and some even gathered together to gamble.

He didn't see Xiao Suo, so he didn't know which tent he was locked in.The weather is so cold, his breath is icy, he feels the cold to the marrow while staying here, and he doesn't know if Xiao Suo's frail body can bear it.

The sun is gradually sinking to the west, the moon is dark and the wind is high tonight, a good night to kill.

Shen Yan put on the black leather mask that was seized during the previous expedition to the Samahan Kingdom, tied the burden behind his back, and with the long sword in his hand, he jumped up, like a nighthawk in the sky, and jumped down.

Peerless lightness kung fu, the mystery can only be seen today.

He ran from east to west, hiding from the patrolling guards coming and going, peeping from tent to tent, but he never saw Xiao Suo.After searching like this, I became flustered.

Why is Xiao Suo not here, where did he go, has he been silenced?

With a steady mind, Shen Yan ran to the front left tent, and after the group of soldiers passed by, he quickly stepped forward and covered the mouth of the guard in front of the tent, with his thumb and index finger holding his Zhishi and Qihai acupoints respectively, and said: "Don't Move, or I will kill you."

His voice was calm and low, which seemed extremely dangerous in the middle of the night.

The guard is also a well-behaved person, he gave up his resistance when he heard the words, and let him control him.After a while, Shen Yan let go of his mouth and asked: "You robbed the food and salaries sent by the imperial court to the border town, didn't you?"

He gave a soft "hmm", and Shen Yan then asked: "In the food escort team, the leading official is the one who looks fair and clean, have you seen it?"

The man said "hmm" again.

"Where is he now?" Shen Yan was so excited that he tried to calm down and asked him.

"In the tent." The man said.

Shen Yan pressed his dagger against him, and ordered in a cold voice: "Take me there, don't make a sound, otherwise...you know the consequences."

The man really didn't move, and he and he avoided the surrounding guards and walked south slowly.After turning around seven or eight tents, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to the left.

Just as Shen Yan wanted to see it, he became vigilant, grabbed his neck and said, "Open the curtain, if there is no one inside, I will kill you."

The man didn't move for a long time, Shen Yan frowned and asked, "There's no one inside, is there?"

Before he could answer, he said again: "If he is here, I will let you go; if he is not here, tell me where he went, and I can spare your life. This is your last chance, think it through before answering." .”

The man closed his eyes and tapped his toes on the edge of the tent.

Shen Yan glanced in, saw the darkness, and pushed him in, "Where are people, why is there no one?"

"He..." The man moved, and suddenly rushed out, "Here come—"

Before the words came out, Shen Yan pierced his heart with a sword.

Xiao Suo is not here, he is not here.

Shen Yan took out the fire folder and took a photo with the not-so-bright spark, and saw a cut rope on the ground, and a pottery bowl beside it, with soup dregs sinking to the bottom.

He picked it up and smelled it, but it was still an ecstasy.Xiao Suo must have been here, he can be sure.

Shen Yan quietly walked out of the tent, robbed another guard, and learned from him in a few words that Xiao Suo had been transported into Guanzhong and left only in the early morning.

This time he showed no mercy and directly broke his neck.

If Xiao Suo left in the early hours of the morning, he would have passed him head-on on the way.But from early morning to now, there is no shadow.

Afraid of being discovered, Shen Yan didn't want to leave his back to the enemy, so he walked out of the forest, held up the map to look at it, got on his horse and turned to the southeast.

Xiao Suo knocked out a lump on the back of his head, the pain was tight, but he couldn't touch it, he was so angry that he wanted to bite someone.He kicked the floor of the car, protesting "hmmm", hoping they would slow down.

For a long time, only the sound of shouting and cursing was heard.

He only had a single shirt on, and he was still cold curled up in a ball.Why hasn't Shen Yan come here? Will he be busy with military affairs and can't get away.If Babao didn't go with him, he would definitely know the news that he was robbed. If he can find Shen Yan, then he can still be saved.

Shen Yan will definitely come.

Will definitely come.

Will.

In the evening, they threw him out of the cart.Xiao Suo's shoulder fell to the ground, hurting.He frowned tightly, opened his eyes, and saw a person standing in the distance.

It's him!

Shen Yan galloped along the road, and finally saw an inn surrounded by earthen walls in the middle of the night.The shop here is more dilapidated than the one at noon. He doesn't tie the horse, but puts it far away to graze.

The roof of the inn is so high, probably because thieves and thieves often come and go here, so we have to guard against it.He jumped onto the roof and looked around for a week, only to see several large carts parked in the back yard and many horses in the stables.

Shen Yan's heart moved, and he checked from the back of the house, opened the tiles one by one, and saw many Han people living in it, listening to their conversations, they seemed to be of the same kind as the group they saw in the oasis in the afternoon.He became more and more happy, turned around the yard, jumped out of the last room, pushed the door and walked in.

He guessed right, his unique treasure was indeed there.

Xiao Suo didn't see him yet, he just thought he was dreaming, he was in a trance, his eyes were not bright at all.He was lying on the pile of firewood, his lips were blue from the cold, and he looked into the distance tremblingly.

Shen Yan was so distressed that she was about to cry. She rushed forward and hugged him, caressing the thinner cheeks of the person in her arms, and said in a trembling voice: "Dubao, wake up, Dubao. It's me, I'm Shen Yan , Dubao!"

Xiao Suo blinked his confused eyes and looked at him, the room was so quiet that he could hear his trembling. "Wenyu, Wenyu...you are finally here." His voice was crying, weak and helpless.

"I'm coming... I'm coming." Shen Yan untied the burden on his back, took out the fur to wrap him up, and took out the water bag in his heart from his bosom, unplugged it, and fed it to him.

The water is still warm.

Xiao Suo hugged it desperately and poured it violently, and coughed because of choking without paying attention.Shen Yan hurriedly patted him, and whispered: "Don't worry, slow down, slow down." Then he took out the soft cake wrapped in oil paper and gave it to him: "Eat slowly, don't choke."

He hadn't eaten in the past two days, so he didn't know if his brain had become duller, but he didn't feel afraid, but flustered.At this moment, seeing the person who misses him day and night, lying in his arms, drinking the water he carefully warmed, and eating the cake he carefully carried, he suddenly became afraid.

Almost never saw him again.

Xiao Suo suddenly got into his arms, crying "whimpering".

Shen Yan knew that he had never experienced such a great hardship. Except for the time in prison, he had never been beaten in his life, and his eyes were red, so he hugged him tightly and coaxed: "Dubao, be good, don't cry. .It was me who was late, it was me who was late. It’s all fine now, with me here, you will be fine, never.”

"I didn't listen to you," Xiao Suo whimpered, "I was disobedient... I, I was wrong. Don't be angry... Don't be angry, I was wrong."

Shen Yan smiled, held his face, and kissed his forehead: "little fool, how could I be angry with you? I said that in the future, only you will be angry with me, and I will never be angry with you. Forgot? "

What he says is what it is.

Xiao Suo looked into his eyes, nodded with tears in his eyes and said: "I forgot...I'm sorry."

"Then I'll remind you." Shen Yan bowed his head and kissed him, smiling softly and piercingly.Xiao Suo couldn't help but purse his mouth, and wanted to cry again, he only heard him say: "Don't cry!"

"...Yeah." He nodded, shivering.

"You are very bad." Shen Yan's face was very serious, which was quite different from just now.

Xiao Suo's mood was ups and downs, how could he bear his scares, he tried his best to hold back his tears and said: "You, you are not... you are not angry anymore."

Shen Yan put him on his lap, took out the sapphire dagger from his boots, pulled out the handle, and took out a red cotton bag the size of an apricot.

"What is this?" he asked.
