On June 10, Feixu Pass was on the northern border of Xishan Province.
The days when the catkins were supposed to fly, but now there is a light snow, and the soldiers still wear thick winter cotton clothes to hold up the armor.
Outside the customs, the sound of drums is clamoring, which is the challenge of the Shang army.
"here we go again."
Tang Zhen frowned: "This is the third time. It's just two hundred riders rushing around each time. They ran when we left the customs. What are the merchants thinking?"
Feng Jixing brushed the snow on the walls of Shan, and smiled: "I think Wu Chang and Xun Xi didn't intend to fight, they were just bluffing. They would send feather books to the other passes and let them take precautions. This is just a feint attack. Maybe it's a real attack elsewhere. You must always share news and be ready to reinforce at any time."
"Yes, handsome."
Tang Zhen turned and left, while Feng Jixing squinted his eyes and said, "Zhang Wei, Lin Xun, what do you think Yang Shang is thinking about? Why do you pretend to attack our pass?"
Zhang Wei said with a grin: "Just as His Highness said, they are just bluffing!"
Lin Xun frowned and said: "His Royal Highness, I'm afraid this has other profound meanings. The Commercial Army Army Master Xun Xi is not a foolish person, and he must have a purpose in doing this."
"Oh? What's the intention?"
"The subordinates can’t guess, but they must contain the main force of our army here... Maybe they have a large space law book, they can move the army to our rear, work together to break through, or directly attack the empty Xiping Mansion. We were caught off guard."
"You don't need to worry about this." Feng Jixing smiled slightly: "The number of people who can be transmitted by the Book of Space Law is extremely small, and the few hundreds or thousands of people cannot reverse the situation. Don't forget, we are the people who stayed behind in Xiping City. There are a hundred thousand people."
Lin Xun said, "The subordinates can't guess Xun Xi's intentions."
"Pay close attention to their movements, and the movements of the Tianjue Empire, that's right."
"Yes!"
Feng Jixing tightened his cloak tightly, walked down the steps, and said, "It's getting colder and colder. What kind of weather, I will enter the customs and rest. You are so good to guard."
"His Royal Highness, go slowly!"
Looking at Feng Jixing's back, Lin Xun smiled slightly and said, "Master Zhang Wei, you said... Has our Royal Highness the King of Letters lost his confidence in Zhan Shang Country?"
"Why do you say that?" Zhang Wei looked puzzled.
"Otherwise, he would definitely explain what he thought in his heart just now, but he didn't say it. His Highness, he knows how powerful that Xun Xi is. This time it is said that the whole of Shang Dynasty's deployment of troops and generals was handled by Xun Xi alone. , So, your Highness may be..."
"Don't think too much." Zhang Wei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Do you think His Royal Highness's strategy will be lost to Xun Xi? But I don't think that since my old Zhang joined the Forbidden Army, I haven't seen it. His Royal Highness Xin Wang has really been smashed, even if it is to compete with His Royal Highness King Qin, he never loses the wind. Don't worry, how much waves can a mere Xun Xi make?"
"Even so, we still have to be careful."
"Well, Master Lin Xun is on duty tonight, pay more attention to the situation inside and outside the customs."
"good."
…
Hongyan City is still free from war. The bored Lin Muyu took Tang Xiaoxi, Qin Yin, and Wei Qiu into the deep mountains to hunt. On the one hand, he spent time while on the other hand moved his hands and feet to hunt down some military rations for the army.
Shenlu Mountain is more than three hundred miles away from Hongyan City. Even Orion rarely enters such deep mountains. The snow has melted a lot and exposed to the ground, so that the horses can still pass.
On this trip, Lin Muyu and others did not wear any robes and armor, but went into battle lightly. Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi dressed up like two beautiful folk women, while Lin Muyu and Wei Qiu were dressed in dark blue costumes with animal skins around their waists. Like the Orion, if it weren't for the horses under the crotch, people would really think they were Orion.
"Look over there."
Tang Xiaoxi pointed his finger into the distance and said, "There is a bird!"
Sure enough, an eagle falcon stayed there on the branch, looking around, it definitely looked like four or five catties, which was quite plump.
Qin Yin smiled and said, "It's about two hundred meters away from us. Let's open the bow together to see who can shoot?"
"Yes, Wei Qiu can't release arrows." Lin Muyu drew a white diamond arrow from the horse's back.
Wei Qiu laughed and did not say anything, but he just clasped his fists and bowed his agreement. If Wei Qiu also shoots and kills, he must be the leader. In terms of archery, Qin Yin, Tang Xiaoxi, and Lin Muyu are all considered good arrows. But compared with Wei Qiu, it is much inferior, whether it is arm strength or accuracy, Wei Qiu is much stronger.
"Swipe..."
The bowstring vibrated three times at the same time, and the eagle falcon on the distant branch suddenly fell to the ground!
"I gonna go see!"
Lin Muyu slapped his horse and walked away. He bent down and picked up this falcon from the ground. It was a heavy one with a lot of flesh. The body of the falcon was shot through by an arrow, and the tappet of the arrow was engraved with a thin line. Tang Xiaoxi’s "Tang" was actually shot by Tang Xiaoxi. As for Lin Muyu and Qin Yin, both arrows seemed to be shot crookedly.
"It's Xiaoxi's prey." Lin Muyu raised the eagle falcon and said with a smile: "It weighs seven or eight catties, and we already have a delicious meal for the soup tonight."
Wei Qiu laughed: "Princess Xi is really good at arrows!"
Tang Xiaoxi pursed her red lips and smiled: "Anyone can praise me, but you can't praise me Wei Qiu. Once you praise me, you make me feel that you are mocking me!"
"Haha, the subordinates don't boast, don't boast."
Wei Qiuche immediately moved forward, but suddenly he narrowed his smile and said, "My lord, be careful behind you. Something seems to be slowly approaching us. It may be a beast!"
Sure enough, the sound of heavy stomping on short branches came from the hillside behind Lin Muyu. A behemoth appeared there, a bear, and a spirit beast with six golden lines on the door of the mind.
"Good guy!"
Wei Qiu smiled and said: "It's Yan Xiong, a kind of spirit beast that is naturally good at the power of the law of flames. Yan Xiong of six thousand years is quite rare!"
"Roar!"
The Yan Xiong on the hillside roared at Lin Muyu and the others, bursting out flames continuously around his body. Obviously, this big guy really warned Lin Muyu and the others to step into its territory. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to know this group of people. How powerful it is, let alone a righteous god among this group of people!
Sikongyao on the side said, "Brother, Yan Xiong is a good thing. The fur is very valuable. It is said that the clothes are very warm in winter, even hot. Although the meat of Yan Xiong is a bit rough, it will be very fragrant when cooked. , Yan Xiong's blood contains the power of the law of flame, can make medicine, and has a miraculous effect on frostbite."
"So this big guy is a treasure?"
Lin Muyu smiled slightly: "Who will solve it?"
Although it is a 6,000-year-old spirit beast, to be honest, anyone present can easily kill it. After all, no one in this group is a fuel-efficient lamp.
Wei Chou said, "Let me come, since Yan Xiong's fur is so good, then the integrity of the bear's fur must be maintained, and the subordinates ensure that an arrow is shot from the eye and penetrates the brain without piercing the head or leaving a mark. My lord, Please help me to grab Yan Xiong's attention."
"good."
Lin Mu Yuce immediately raised the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, and said with a joking smile: "Boy bear, is there a kind of fight to the death with me?"
"Roar!"
Faced with the provocation, Yan Xiong was furious, while Qin Yin, Tang Xiaoxi, and Si Kongyao smiled. It is rare to see Lin Muyu's behavior again, giving Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi a feeling of going back to the past. Without so many burdens, life is extremely comfortable.
"court death!"
Lin Muyu's arm shook slightly, and suddenly the common profound energy danced under the horse's hoof, and it was about to explode, but this was only to attract Yan Xiong's attention. The real killer move was not a common chaos, but A sharp arrow flying past Lin Muyu's shoulder!
"puff!"
An arrow hit his brain, just as Wei Qiu said, the 6,000-year-old Yan Xiong fell straight down with a miserable grunt, his body twitched a few times, and he hung up.
Several Yulin Guards applauded: "Guardian leads a good arrow technique!"
Wei Qiu clasped his fists and smiled: "Go get the blood, a bowl of Yan Xiong's blood can be diluted to prepare thousands of bottles of frostbite medicine, this is a good baby!"
"Yes!"
Several Yulin Guards stepped forward, took out the empty water bags, cut open the fur on Yan Xiong's abdomen with a sharp sword, and began to take blood. The blood seemed to flow endlessly. In a blink of an eye, seven or eight water bags were filled, and all were hung. On horseback.
Only four Yulin Guards were brought, so Wei Qiu decided to do it himself, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and began to skin the Yan Xiong on the spot. After the skin was peeled, the Yan Xiong was decomposed, and most of the meat pieces were put into the space bag. Otherwise, the horse might not be able to carry a heavy load. Shaoxing this bear weighs five to six hundred catties, and no horse can carry it for a long time.
Looking at the sky, Lin Muyu said, "Find a place to rest. It will be dark soon. At night, the Xun Wolves will come out to search for food. I am afraid that we will be very troublesome if we are caught sight of."
"Yes."
…
Campsites in the mountains are very difficult to find. After sunset, everyone finally found a habitat in a mountain col, set up a tent, lit a campfire, and started cooking dinner.
There are many hunters on the way, hares, deer, eagles, falcons, and fatty fish in the river. They have everything they need. The prey that is hunted by the enemy is nearly one ton in weight, and they are all in the space bag, so dinner is boiled. There are five full pots of food, those that fly in the sky, those that run on the ground, and those that swim in the water. Anyway, it is very important to come out to relax and experience, and eating well is also very important.
The fatty fish was tender and the falcon was delicious, so Lin Muyu ate the four bowls, and then leaned against the tent and took a nap, while Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi went into the tent bedding and so on.
At this moment, Wei Qiu looked to the north vigilantly and said, "It seems that someone is coming!"
"I'm afraid that people from the deep mountains and wild ridges will not come here." Lin Muyu said with a slight smile.
Sikongyao chuckled: "Why does it sound a little creepy?"
In the darkness, an imperial guard came quickly with a war horse and said: "His Royal Highness, there are a few people over there, claiming to be lost businessmen, their Huozhezi is wet by the snow, and want to come over and borrow us. fire."
"Oh? Let them come."
Lin Muyu chuckled and said, "All the robberies are robbing us, so let's see it first."
