Chang Ming nodded, lifted the curtain and went out of the car. Looking back, he talked for a long time, but he was only twenty miles away from Wangcheng, and the speed was outrageously slow. He thought for a while, then turned to Gu Liang Yiqing and said: " If this continues, it will only be noon when we get to Book City, so we should go slower."

Wangcheng is not far from Book City, and you can go from Wangcheng to Book City in an hour at a fast pace. Now even if Gu Liang drives the carriage at the speed of an ox cart on a clear day, he still has to leave Book City in the afternoon without accident.

Gu Liang Yiqing blinked and whispered, "Okay, I'll do something else."

Chang Ming smiled heartily and patted her on the head. Yiqing was about to stop her when she saw Luo Jianghong frowning and galloping towards her.

"Commander of the Seventh Battalion! The bandits in Xiacheng are in an emergency, why are you so late?"

Before Chang Ming could speak, Gu Liang Yiqing felt wronged and said, "I can't help it, this cart puller is a poor horse, and he can't walk fast until he is beaten to death. I have tried my best!"

Luo Jianghong followed the voice, and saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, petite, with long hair tied up in a simple ponytail, dressed in black and light armor like Chang Ming, with a cute face like a little girl, round eyes Big and clear, with curved eyebrows and eyes when smiling, it is really likable.Even though Chang Ming doesn't like to be close to people, seeing her is like seeing his little sister—even though they are the same age.

"You..." Luo Jianghong looked Gu Liang Yiqing up and down in surprise, "Don't you have to pass the first test to select candidates from the right side of Ningwu? You are so young."

Chang Ming couldn't help turning his head, Gu Liang Yiqing's cheeks puffed up, like a wayward child, but Luo Jianghong, who looked cold and frightened, was not light.

"Xiaguan's face is not old, and he has never slackened in his age."

Chang Ming waved his hands and said, "Master Luo shouldn't judge people by their appearances. Life is something that many people dream of."

Luo Jianghong clicked her tongue and resigned embarrassingly.

It was the right choice to let Gu Liang Yiqing drive the carriage. Even Gu Xiaowu almost fell asleep, not to mention the slowness of the carriage, there were many accidents, and sometimes the axle was unstable. When repairing, sometimes the horse sees the grass, and refuses to move easily. Luo Jianghong is already amazed at how smoothly he arrived at the book city in the evening after such a swaying step.

"Pack up your bags, go to rest, and leave tomorrow at Mao." After Chang Ming ordered, everyone dispersed like birds and beasts.

Although there is no rush during the day, let alone chasing the stars and the moon, this kind of speed that is not even as good as walking really makes Luo Jianghong unable to cheer up. She sighed and fell asleep when she hit the pillow, and Chang Ming was nowhere to be found.

He didn't know how long he had been in a coma, but suddenly he heard the sound of the door, sat up in shock and saw that it was Chu Guangliang who entered the door in a hurry, and immediately said: "The battalion commander has ordered us to leave the city overnight, get up quickly!"

Luo Jianghong looked at Chu Guangliang with the eyes of a fool, and said coldly: "Are you stupid? Now that the moon is in the sky, the city gate has already been unlocked, how can you get out!"

Chu Guangliang didn't explain, and with a movement of his hand, he put his spear on Luo Jianghong's shoulder.

Luo Jianghong was so choked that she couldn't speak, so she had to get up and quickly tidy up and salute.

Fang Xingai ran all the way with his chariot and horses and a group of people, and he saw Chang Ming waiting at the city gate from a distance. Seeing everyone coming, he waved his hand to let the guards behind him open the city gate, and jumped into the carriage by himself. The chariots and horses rushed out of the book city and headed south, without even raising the torches for lighting.

"You can actually open the city gate?" Luo Jianghong asked Chang Ming on the side of the carriage.

"Don't say that, I can only open the gates of Book City, but not King City and Xia City." Chang Ming replied leisurely in the carriage without lifting the curtain.

Luo Jianghong understood, after all, Jianhe Valley is located in the middle of Wangcheng and Shucheng, and he has some friendship with the prefect, and it is the emperor's order, so it is not difficult to open a city gate. Presumably he decided to do this early, so that he can travel overnight.Luo Jianghong turned her head and glanced at the carriage that was galloping together, still frowning. Although she was surprised, but... even a three-year-old child knew that this trip must not be peaceful, and she didn't know if it was her own illusion. Another team of horseshoes sounded, approaching like night ghosts urging their lives, and the wind chimes on the carriage were also ringing crisply amid the bumps, making the horses' hooves flustered even more.

Midnight is not only a good time to flee, but also a good time to kill and set fire.They galloped at full speed on this forest path, but they didn't raise fire at all. They could only rely on the faint moonlight to barely distinguish one or two. In the deep woods on both sides, it seemed that ghosts and ghosts were running rampant, bringing gusts of evil wind.

This is so absurd that Luo Jianghong lamented in her heart. If any legendary army commander knew that he was ruined because of a young man, he might vomit blood.

A chase under the moon seems to have come to an end, the sound of wind chimes echoing in the night sky, the leader rode forward alone, holding the torch high, only the traces of chariots and horses could be seen clearly in front of Ying Yingzhuo in the darkness, he With a wave of his hand, people behind him bowed their bows and raised their arrows. In the darkness, the torch waved forward, as if illuminating the bright moon, and there was the sound of breaking wind behind him, and the arrows fell like rain. .

"Crackling!——" After a few clean cracking sounds of the carriage, the horses neighed and wailed endlessly, startling countless birds into the air!There is silence all around, everything is as loud as thunder on the ground, I'm afraid it doesn't know how far it will spread.

The horse team slowed down and rode forward holding the torches. The leader frowned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. If he really succeeded in shooting so many people, why would there be only these few noises?

Suddenly there were wailing sounds one after another in his ears, and before he reacted to panic, he noticed that the horses were running wildly, and they clashed with him from side to side, almost knocking him off the horse. He turned his head to meet the enemy, but before he could react, he fell off the horse and was trampled to death by the horse's hoof.

Hearing the mourning and the horseshoes flustered, Chang Ming confirmed again and again that no one in the killer horse team raised fire, then turned to Chu Guangliang and said, "Raise the fire and clean up."

It was only then that Luo Jianghong saw the handsome profile of this young man against the backdrop of the torches in the night.I remembered that those killers raised the fire and marched forward, and then rode their horses slowly. Therefore, the Seventh Battalion, which was hidden in the forest, took advantage of the fire to kill them instantly when the enemy was clear and we were dark. , I'm afraid a quick battle is inevitable.

Chang Ming walked all the way and saw someone leaning on the ground with arrows in his body. He couldn't roll in pain, so he squatted down, pressed down with a horizontal knife, and asked coldly, "How many people have you sent?"

"No... I don't know..."

"If you don't talk about it, I can do it."

The killer hurriedly begged for mercy: "There are about four or fifty people!"

Chang Ming drew a knife and cut his throat.

"Seventh Battalion Commander", Luo Jianghong asked suspiciously, "Why don't you see Mr. Gu?"

Chang Ming withdrew his knife, signaled everyone to bury the corpses, counted the number of people, and turned to him: "When did I say that Mr. Gu would leave the city with us? It's not too late, hurry to Xiacheng!"

When Gu Xiaowu woke up in the morning, she was surprised that she had slept so peacefully after a night without dreams, when Gu Liang Yiqing knocked on the door, saying that she had brought her breakfast.

Different from yesterday's black clothes and light armor, today she changed into the clothes of a little girl in her life. Her hair was neatly tied up, and she was dressed in brisk light-colored clothes.

"The battalion commander ordered you to set off after breakfast, and the officer will escort you all the way to Xiacheng."

"Only you?"

"That's right," Gu Liang Yiqing nodded, "Hiding trees in the forest, it's hard to tell the truth from reality."

Li Changming led people on the road all night, passed the original city and arrived at Qiucheng at Maoshi, he did not continue to advance, but found a posthouse to let everyone rest, and accidentally caught a glimpse of Luo Jianghong, not in a hurry to fall asleep, but packed all the horses and fodder .

"Never tired?"

Luo Jianghong shook her head and smiled and said, "It's nothing. Although I don't know martial arts, I'm still in good health... If the Seventh Battalion Commander ordered a rest just for the sake of being an official, it's unnecessary..."

"Everyone in the Seventh Battalion should also rest." Chang Ming stepped forward and patted his horse's neck. The horse was chewing grass while rubbing against him unhurriedly. , I won’t worry about it, go and rest.”

"Go right away," Luo Jianghong couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, "I still have to hurry, so it's important to feed the horses first."

Chang Ming turned his face away, smiled and said nothing.

Some people have said that Jiang Yuan's mood is unpredictable, good times and bad times, ups and downs, at the beginning Luo Jianghong didn't care, until two days ago, he was skeptical, until now, he firmly believes.

After arriving in Qiucheng, Changming never moved again. People in the Seventh Battalion seemed to be basking in the sun every day. Some people couldn't help but tell Changming that they should move forward as soon as possible. However, Changming smiled and agreed, but turned a deaf ear. He even played around Qiucheng together with Chu Guangliang, dressed in normal clothes, and his hair was loosely tied. It seemed that he had completely forgotten about the horse galloping at midnight three days ago.

Luo Jianghong had given up on persuasion, and watched Chang Ming come back with a pack of desserts to distribute to everyone, and he also gave Luo Jianghong a little.

It wasn't until noon, after everyone had lunch, that Chang Ming suddenly said: "Immediately, pack up and let's go out to the south of the city."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they got busy in a hurry. Chang Ming seemed to have no time to say more, and flashed out of Luo Jianghong's field of vision two or three times.

After all, this is a group of military officers, with only Luo Jianghong as a civil servant, and they don't care how Luo Jianghong feels, but rather gallop on horseback with a tendency to die. He had already fallen off his horse, and he didn't even have a chance to watch Chang Ming's long hair flying.

Chu Guangliang saw that there was no suspicious person after chasing him for a long time, so he kept asking Chang Ming, "Could it be that he went another way?"

Chang Ming shook his head resolutely: "I looked at the map, and there is only this road going south from Book City to Xia City. It is impossible to chase us without riding a horse, and it will delay things. If we arrive at Xia City, we will miss the opportunity. Therefore, the second batch of killers can only travel as fast as they can, riding horses all the way."

A group of people chased them nonstop for two days, but they didn't find any trace of the Ningwu army when they went to the front. Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore and said to the leader: "Could it be that after they really came out of the book city, they only stayed for three days and three nights?" Are you going on your way without getting into the water? We have been chasing here for two days and two nights, and we haven't even seen a ghost."

The leader said: "It shouldn't be, we are all good BMW horses, even though they have been going all night, we should be able to catch up, maybe not far ahead."

A person beside him kindly reminded him: "In Ningwu's army, I'm afraid there aren't any bad horses."

Everyone stared at him weakly.

"From Book City to Xia City in the south, this is the only way to go. But after we have been chasing them for so long, they seem to have evaporated from the world. Those who went to Qiuchengyuan City to inquire about the news have never seen them. They are really successful. Have you ever slept in the wild after a forced march?"

The leader's eyes widened, and he said cautiously: "Could it be that we ran ahead of them instead?"

"Could it be that they gave up carriage and horses and switched to walking instead?"

"Can you give up easily? If you are caught up, you won't be able to run."

The people around began to discuss in low voices, with all sorts of fantasies in their minds, almost saying that Ning Wu and his party were robbed by thieves and their bones were gone, and the leader also had a headache. When they looked up, everyone looked tired and waved Said: "Let's rest first, fetch water and eat."

A group of well-trained killers couldn't help cheering with joy.

"There is a large group of people chasing this way!"

Suddenly someone shouted a warning. The people who had dismounted managed to get on their horses and took up their weapons. They didn't have time to put on a posture of being ready for battle, when they saw a single-handed person rushing out from behind the corner.

He has already taken off his leisurely uniform, and came in black clothes and light armor. His long hair flew high because of his sprint, and the corners of his mouth suddenly appeared frivolous on his handsome face, which made the killers shudder. Before they recovered, The rest of the people who were subdued like him also chased after them. Facing these exhausted people, horseshoes raised dust, which was quite overwhelming.

"It's Ning Wu!" The leader of the killers was the first to react, and quickly clenched his weapon and shouted: "Fight, kill them!"

The young man immediately drew his knife out of its sheath from behind, and shouted, "Form up and charge!"

From hearing the sound of killing to catching up with Chang Ming and the others, Luo Jianghong thought it was only a short period of time, as if the Seventh Battalion Commander hadn't broken free from the rolling yellow sand when he said "line up to kill".However, in front of him seemed to be the final battlefield with no end in sight. He had a quick glance at the opponent's number, which was almost three times as large as his own, which could be regarded as mighty. Cutting vegetables generally kills the opponent's armor and armor.

Chang Ming holds a horizontal knife, which looks simple and unremarkable, but the sun is burning, and he can't help but feel the coldness of Blade's Edge Mountain. Even if he is full of blood, he looks at the world with cold eyes.He and Chu Guangliang were covering each other. They didn't move extra, and they didn't even want to turn their wrists one more time. Facing the battle of trapped beasts, they just dodged the sniper and killed each other.

Sitting on the horseback, Luo Jianghong obviously forgot that the two sides are fighting right now. He, a person who is not good at martial arts, should protect himself. Instead, he held the rein tightly, his eyes were wide open, and his ears were no longer listening to this scene. In the bloody storm, instead, he could hear his heart beating, like drums beating in an army marching on the battlefield. His blood was gushing out all over his body, and even his mind was a little dizzy. Even he thought he was going to fall off the horse.

After all, there were a lot of opponents, and although Yike worked hard, only one charge was definitely not enough. Chang Ming glanced left and right from the corner of his eye, and immediately turned the horse's head to kill, and at the same time ordered: "Assemble! Kill again!"

As if it was a trick, everyone in the Seventh Battalion gathered at Chang Ming's side without making any extra noise, and chased him down again.

Ning Wu has always been famous for his elite soldiers and strong generals. As the right side, he gathered people with superb martial arts skills. His soldiers and horses are strong, unlike the opponent's weak horses and horses.

"Wow!--"

Chang Ming forcibly reined in the horse that was still about to run wildly. With the horse neighing, the front hoof was raised high. He still held the rein tightly and stood on the horse. The long knife in his right hand unintentionally swiped forward peacefully. On the low loess, an arc was drawn, the sun was gold and blood red, like a soul-stirring song on the plug, and the horse's hoof fell heavily in the blood, which was the last clamor.

Chang Ming still sat quietly on the horse, and slowly lowered the horizontal knife.
