Hu Haihe is a few years older than Yan Liqiang. He already has a thin beard around his lips, while Yan Liqiang is still clean-shaven. But when he spoke to Yan Liqiang at this moment, both his tone and expression were as if he was talking to a respected elder.
Yan Liqiang looked at the young guard. To be fair, this guard named Hu Haihe was quite handsome. The combination of his nose and eyes reminded Yan Liqiang of Hu Ge who had played in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". Coincidentally, Hu Haihe also had the last name Hu. Yan Liqiang had discovered before that there was such a handsome guy with the same last name Hu among Sun Bingchen's guards, but he had not had much contact with Hu Haihe before. It was not until Hu Haihe's brother got into trouble that Yan Liqiang learned that Hu Haihe's biological brother was also in the guard team.
In his previous life, with Hu Haihe's qualifications, if he had become an actor, he would definitely have fascinated many women. However, in this world where looks are not important but personal martial arts are more important, he could only accept his fate and became an ordinary member of the Imperial Horse and Infantry Department in the capital of the Han Empire, and he got in through his relatives.
The hatred in Hu Haihe's eyes was burning like two will-o'-the-wisp fires. Yan Liqiang knew what Hu Haihe was thinking at a glance.
"I don't know whether the Black Wind Bandits will come or not!" Yan Liqiang replied calmly.
Yan Liqiang's answer obviously stunned Hu Haihe for a moment, because he didn't expect the answer from Yan Liqiang would be like this, "Guardian Yan... doesn't know either?"
"I'm not a god, how could I know? We are at war with the Black Wind Bandits right now. The situation changes rapidly, with too many unexpected events and possibilities. The Black Wind Bandits don't listen to my orders, so how could I be sure they would come? It's just that we didn't clean up the feces left by the Rhinoceros Horses along the way. If the Black Wind Bandits are really unwilling to give up, they might follow the traces we left behind and chase us all the way!"
"I understand!" Hu Haihe lowered his head and murmured, then raised his head again and looked at Yan Liqiang with a hesitant look.
"Brother Hu, just tell me if you need any help from me!" Yan Liqiang felt a little sympathetic towards Hu Haihe, so he slowed down his tone and asked.
"Well... I... Can I take you as my master?" Hu Haihe finally said what he wanted to say, looking at Yan Liqiang with burning eyes.
These words stunned Yan Liqiang for a moment. He was very surprised. He looked at Hu Haihe, then at the guards around him, and found that those guards were all looking at this side with burning eyes, as if they already knew what Hu Haihe wanted to do.
"What do you want to learn from me?" Yan Liqiang asked back.
"Kyudo, archery!" Hu Haihe's tone suddenly became firm, and his fists were clenched tightly, "I want to avenge my brother, and kill all these Black Wind Bandits and Shatu Dogs in the future..."
"I am only half-baked myself, I am afraid I cannot be your master!" Yan Liqiang thought for a moment and shook his head. Hearing what Yan Liqiang said, Hu Haihe's eyes dimmed suddenly, "But if we return to the Imperial Capital, we can practice archery together if we have the chance!"
Hu Haihe's eyes suddenly lit up again, and he looked at Yan Liqiang with gratitude, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome. Get some rest tonight and get enough strength. If the Black Wind Bandits really come, you'll have the strength to fight!"
"Okay!" Hu Haihe nodded, then left. The guards around who had been looking at this place with burning eyes also turned their eyes away and sorted out their equipment.
It was quiet on the ridge. Everyone spoke in a low voice. Only the whistling wind blew over the bare rocks.
The moon had already risen, and three moons of different sizes hung in the sky, casting their bright light all over the ground. Everyone found a place to rest in the shelter from the wind, and each of them was covered with only a blanket used in the wild to keep out the cold. Even Sun Bingchen was the same, without any airs, and stayed with the guards, occasionally patrolling among the guards.
Yan Liqiang volunteered to change his sentry post and lay down among the rocks on the ridge, looking at the valley below and monitoring the situation in the distance.
Yan Liqiang didn't know when the Black Wind Bandits would come, so he could only wait here like a hunter.
In the blink of an eye, it was already midnight. The Black Wind Bandits still hadn't arrived. Only the howling of wild wolves could be heard in the wilderness. Liang Yijie quietly crawled over and said, "Li Qiang, go down and rest first. Leave this to me. I'll watch over here and call you if there's anything else!"
"Okay!" Yan Liqiang was not polite. He exchanged positions with Liang Yiji, then retreated and came to a place where he had taken shelter before. He wrapped himself in a blanket and leaned against a stone. After a while, he entered the Tiandao Temple, and then entered the Tiandao Divine Realm. Yan Liqiang read books and practiced in the Tiandao Divine Realm. He spent a peaceful day. Then his whole consciousness really withdrew and returned to this body. Then it was only after a while that he really fell asleep on the ground.
I'm afraid no one would believe that Yan Liqiang had spent a day in another world in the blink of an eye, and then returned to this body...
…
After an unknown amount of time, Yan Liqiang was awakened by a strange sound coming from his ear. When Yan Liqiang slept, his ears were close to the ground, and the sound just came from the ground, like the sound of a drum coming from a distant place, intermittent.
Yan Liqiang suddenly opened his eyes and rolled over to his feet.
At this moment, the waning moon in the sky gradually disappears, and the sky is still a little dark. It is just before dawn.
As soon as he got up, he saw Liang Yijie had come to him. With a hint of excitement in his voice, he whispered to Yan Liqiang, "The Black Wind Bandits are coming..."
Yan Liqiang, Liang Yiji, and another guard on night duty had already arrived at the place where everyone was resting. They quietly woke up the sleeping guards one by one and asked everyone to get ready quickly.
Ye Tiancheng also woke up, but in order to prevent him from making trouble, Ye Tiancheng stuffed his mouth with a cloth so that he couldn't make any sound.
Those who woke up quickly got into the state, looking at the valley below, feeling nervous and excited.
"Everyone hide first, don't show your heads, wait until everyone sees me and Li Qiang fighting, then take action. Anyone who dares to take action beforehand and exposes himself will be subject to military law..." Liang Yiji had a serious face, and explained the final discipline on the battlefield to the guards, and all the guards nodded.
In just a few minutes, the Black Wind Bandits rushed into the valley like a pack of wild wolves. Judging from the number of people, there were still about 700 Black Wind Bandits left, and their strength was still...
Yan Liqiang had already taken out the horn python bow, and then placed the quivers filled with arrows where he could easily reach them, and then licked his dry lips with some excitement.
These people who deliver raw materials to the gashapon machine are here again...
The shooting position that Yan Liqiang chose for himself was more than 300 meters away from the line of fire where the other guards were ambushing. Yan Liqiang was responsible for the lead, while the remaining guards were responsible for cutting off the waist...
