fluttering night wind

In the sweltering early summer, suddenly thunder rolled in the middle of the night, and a bolt of lightning fell on the wilderness, frightening the horses and neighing.Meng Ziying only felt someone calling him incessantly in his ear, opened his eyes and saw that the rain was pouring down his head and face, and Yanfeng was shaking him: "It's raining, go to sleep in the carriage."

The carriage stopped under the mountain wall, Meng Ziying got into the carriage, turned off the fan, and the three of them curled up together. Amidst the thunder and lightning, I saw Yan Xing sleeping soundly, his cheeks flushed, and Yan Feng staring at his big eyes. Looking at him, he asked in a low voice, "Brother Ziying, what dream were you having just now?"

Ziying was taken aback.

"I heard you calling Ziyou Ziyou, who is that?"

Meng Ziying pulled the blanket over his shoulders and said calmly, "You heard me wrong. Go to sleep."

After burying Bai Yanrong, he took his two brothers all the way to the southeast. In the first few days, because he was afraid that Chen Yuanda would send people to track and intercept him, he took the mountain path. After a few days, he realized that he was overthinking and the Shu army's battle line was stretched. Chen Yuanda didn't have the energy to take care of him at all, so he turned to the smooth and easy road.

When I came here, the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming. When I went back, it was already hot and rainy, and the flat land became a river.

The people of Shu and the army of the imperial court were fighting fiercely. Along the way, we often saw the exiled people living in exile. They either slept in groups in the wilderness, the wildfire was mixed with the crying of children and the wailing of the old, or they were unkempt and trembling. The road was full of post roads, driven to and fro by the soldiers rushing to and fro, the side of the road was filled with dead bodies, their faces swollen.

The carriage travels through the crowds for a long distance, and Ziying and her two brothers are companions.Yan Xing didn't recognize his life at all, and he fell in love with him within a few days, and the grief of losing his family and home came and went quickly.However, Yanfeng's eyes are often covered with a layer of mist. His profile is very similar to that of his elder brother Bai Yansheng, sitting on the sidelines silently gazing at the people passing by along the way. In just a few days, he seems to have grown up a circle, and he is no longer innocent like a ten-year-old child. cute.

In the morning when the rain was weakening, Meng Ziying woke up the two brothers and continued on their way. At this time, they were approaching the boundary of Yangzhou. At noon, they saw the panic-stricken refugees approaching on the main road, and soon there were more and more people. The sons call the daughters and the wives swarm the young.

Yanfeng suddenly pointed to a person in front of him and said, "It's someone I met a few days ago."

Ziying stopped the man and asked, "What's going on ahead, why did you turn back the way you came?"

The man's face was covered with mud, and he said incoherently: "There are soldiers, the Shu army, and they will kill anyone they see."

Ziying's heart tightened, and she said in a serious tone: "Can you see clearly? Isn't the Shu army behind us?"

The man nodded desperately, but was pushed and shoved by the people behind him. Before he could speak, he was squeezed by the crowd.The two white horses kept stepping on the ground, and the carriage was in the crowd, unable to advance or retreat.Mencius Ying looked into the distance, and there were countless black shadows in the rain and mist in front of him. He pulled out a silver whip from his waist, and the rain wetted his forehead and hair, and turned to look at the two brothers of the Bai family.Yanfeng leaned against the wall of the car, hugging his younger brother tightly in his arms, holding a dagger in his hand, his eyes were firm and slightly nervous.

The wind and the rain, the fishy smell hit the face, the crowd chased dozens of horses and horses, and they chopped up anyone they saw. Killing people and looting money is like chopping melons and vegetables. To come up and snatch the horses.Mencius overturned several people with a whip, got on the horse and untied the rope, and rode over these people.

He galloped his horse forward, and with the wind blowing from his silver whip, he threw the leaders off their horses and rushed into the enemy's formation.Although those soldiers were dressed up by Shu people and well-equipped, but they were travel-stained and looked panic-stricken, as if they were being chased by someone.Mencius Ying was puzzled, and turned around to see a black horse jumping out of her side, and immediately tied up a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, crying and struggling miserably.As soon as he pulled the rein, he swung his whip and went away. Immediately, the man turned his body and avoided it.The black horse spun around, and the person on the horse met him face to face, with slender eyebrows and eyes full of hostility, seeing that he was only a weak crown, Meng Ziying frowned and said, "Put that girl down."

The man laughed heartily and said, "Who are you? Dare to ask the uncle to let you go."

Mencius Ying said: "Who are you? Pretending to be a Shu army and looting everywhere."

Hearing this, the man couldn't help but look at Meng Ziying a few more times. At this moment, the little girl in front of him had struggled and fell off the horse. Meng Ziying no longer had any worries, and swung his whip towards him. Holding a knife against the silver whip.

Mencius Ying's silver whip is made of fine steel, with mechanisms inside and sterling silver on the outside. The sword technique is rough, the moves are fierce, and the strong wind blows together with the dust and sand. For a while, beautiful women appear on the stage, Xian'e plays shadows, and in a blink of an eye, thousands of miles of clouds, gold and iron horses can be seen.

After fighting for more than a hundred moves, he suddenly heard someone shouting from the side: "Go quickly, the pursuers are coming again." The two separated slightly, and Mencius took a moment to glance, and the sound of horseshoes splashing behind him suddenly sounded, and about a hundred elite soldiers chased after them. Come.

The big man wiped the rainwater off his face, and said with a "Bah", "Bai Yansheng, you duplicitous villain!" He ignored Mencius Ying as he said this, and wanted to pull the horse away, but he didn't take two or three steps, only to hear the black horse under his crotch whimpering and crashing. After falling to the ground, he flew up, his body was instantly splashed with a layer of blood, and when he landed, he saw a hind leg of the black horse on the ground missing.

Mencius Ying rolled up the torn half of the horse's hoof with a silver whip and threw it aside. She was drenched all over her body, her eyes were stern, she looked down at him and said, "You are not from Xichuan, you are a soldier from Jingzhou."

The man's face was full of rain and blood, and he also looked at him carefully after hearing the words, showing a strange smile, "Everyone knows that Jingzhou has changed its flag, but you use the kung fu of the Huajian School to be an enemy of Xishu?" He bent down and threw the knife, the white horse under Mencius Ying's seat trembled, and he also floated to the ground. Only then did he see that the white horse was also cut off by the machete with its left foreleg, which can be seen from the force of the throw.

The man picked up the weapon that was left on the ground, and he could not help but kill the general again. Meng Ziying put his whip on his sleeve, threw out his long sword, and fought with him.

While the two were fighting, the pursuers had already caught up and surrounded the dozens of Jingzhou regiments three times and two times.

The two of them chatted and felt that the surroundings were too quiet. Meng Ziying suddenly heard someone behind him ask: "Is that Brother Meng over there?"

The opponent seized the opportunity to stop, Meng Ziying glanced around, all the Jingzhou soldiers had been captured with their arms tied, the visitors were dressed in different clothes, but they were all full of energy, and when they rode towards them, it was immediately Linxi Sun Jiren.

Sun Jiren got off his horse and came striding forward. Seeing him excited, he wanted to open his mouth, but Meng Ziying held out his hand and refused, saying, "We'll talk about the past later, who is this person?"

Sun Jiren turned to the man and said, "This man is Han Yuanxing, the commander of Jingzhou soldiers." He was about to continue, but was interrupted by Han Yuanxing, who sneered and said, "Was what Bai Yansheng said three days ago a fart?"

Sun Jiren said angrily: "You told Lord Bai that you are not military households, but civilians who were forced to join the army. Lord Bai can't bear the separation of your wives and children. As long as you put down the butcher's knives, you can enjoy yourselves, your relatives will accompany you, and you can live wherever you want. .But you have been walking all the way, scattered soldiers turned into thieves, burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil, how can Lord Bai let you do harm to all directions."

That man was quite knowledgeable about current affairs, he looked around and saw that all his relatives had been taken down, he threw his knife to the ground, raised his hands high, was tied down, and said as he walked, "Those who steal the hook punish the princes who steal the country."

At this moment, Meng Ziying thought of the two brothers of Baiyanfeng, and hurriedly ordered Sun Jiren to take people to find them. Both brothers were safe and sound, but Yan Xing was frightened, so he reorganized the team, guarded the carriage in the middle, and headed towards Dongping.

Mencius Ying and Sun Jiren are in front of each other, and have already heard him give a general idea.After Jingzhou changed flags, he went down the south of the Yangtze River with the Shu army and entered Yangzhou, Zhongzhou. The governor of Yangzhou and the governor of Dongping County were ordered to guard the land and wipe out the incoming enemies.Bai Yansheng took the order to challenge him, and three days ago he took the head of the leader of the other party, and all the prisoners he got were sent away.

Mencius Yingyin asked: "How many soldiers are there in Jingzhou, and how many are there for Fu Xi?"

Sun Jiren said: "There are 4 or [-] people in Jingzhou and Western Shu, and they are divided into several routes. There are more than [-] people on this route. Fu Xi allocated [-] soldiers to Mr. Bai, and distributed civilians and horses to the west of Dongping."

Meng Ziying gritted his teeth: "Fu Xi is a bastard who resists ten thousand people with thousands of people. He will either let Mr. Bai go to death, or he will also burn, kill and loot." After he finished cursing, he thought about it. Among them, it is indeed a coup to capture the thief first and capture the king, but after winning the enemy's head, how to deal with the aftermath is more difficult.Since there are so many thieves and criminals, if they are divided immediately, the other party may be suspicious and fearful, or they will unite and fight to the death.The white geese wanted to catch them all the time, and ordered everyone to follow where they liked and stay where they lived.So the crowd was overjoyed, and they dispersed as soon as they boarded, and more than ten thousand people dispersed all at once.When they were hundreds of miles away, they ordered elite soldiers to pursue them and hunt them down in different ways. The loss of their own was small, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

It's just that during this one capture, how many people have been ravaged?

Sun Jiren said: "Three days ago, Lord Bai and I split up into two groups and headed north. When we divided up, we said that we might meet Brother Meng and the two young masters on the way, and I want you to go back to Linxi and wait for him."

Meng Ziying hummed first, then recovered, looked up at Sun Jiren and said, "He already knows?"

Sun Jiren said stupidly: "Know what?"

Mencius Ying was inexplicably irritable, so she ignored him and put on the reins and galloped the horse forward.

After returning to Dongping County within a few days, Meng Ziying took the two brothers back to Linxi to settle down first.He has been away for several months, and when he comes back, the mountains and rivers are still the same, but there are some differences.Once upon a time, Linxi became lively from a poor valley.The fields expanded, and many new houses appeared in an instant, traffickers, people coming and going, bustling, and there was a feeling that people would look at each other with admiration after three days apart.

After five or six days in Linxi, I suddenly heard Sun Jiren come over one morning and say that Bai Yansheng had returned to Dongping Mansion to fight.After hearing this, he didn't have time to tell Yanfeng that the geese were walking, so he rode on his horse and left. After a while, he arrived at Dongping Mansion. He just left and said he was going home to rest, and the adults said that he would entertain him in the evening."

After returning home, Meng Ziying was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to realize that she rented a house in Dongping last year, and she has not moved back yet, so Bai Yansheng must have gone there.

Thinking like this, he led the horse all the way there, and saw the three huts from a distance, the hedge fence, and a person standing in the courtyard, who else was Bai Yansheng.

Just as he was about to run over, he heard a child's exclamation, Bai Yansheng bent down and threw a five or six-year-old boy high, the boy giggled, and the laughter attracted a middle-aged beautiful woman in the room, With a plump body and a high belly, she is five or six months pregnant.

Meng Ziying stood outside the courtyard and saw that her eyeballs were about to fall off.
