Is that dead... dead people? ! Hong Jun yelled and shouted, "Li Jinglong!"
Hong Jun had never seen such a monster before. He took a few steps back and saw more and more armored soldiers around the five-colored light. Nearly twenty of them slashed at him violently. Hong Jun shouted loudly and summoned Flying knives cut off the soldier blocking the way with one knife. The soldier was cut in two, but still made a "ho ho" sound on the ground, climbing with both hands, and crawled towards Hongjun unwillingly.
The black shadows crossed the Great Wall one after another and jumped from high places. In the depths of the woods, more and more dead soldiers rushed towards Hong Jun. Hong Jun held up the five-color divine light, and wanted to find a way to leave. He slashed with a flying knife and destroyed the soldiers' bodies, but he couldn't kill them completely.
Hong Jun pushed the five-color divine light, and pushed a large group of dead soldiers flying straight out. Immediately there was another strange roar, and a dead soldier rushed from behind and hung on him.
Hong Jun couldn't help but yelled, "Get out!"
He is not afraid of ordinary monsters at all, but the dead people appearing here and there are too strange, and the number has skyrocketed for some reason, and the most important thing is—
Can't kill!
Hong Jun threw the dead man over his shoulder, and more dead soldiers rushed forward, at the moment when he was about to be submerged...
... An arrow bursting with white light shot from under the Great Wall, passed through nearly fifty steps, roared across the stream, and shot into the dead man's helmet. With a "bang", the dead soldier fell down and stopped moving.
Li Jinglong shouted: "Run!"
Hong Jun pushed away the soldiers and ran down the Great Wall. Li Jinglong drew his longbow and ran out of the barracks. He listened to the sound while running, and identified his position by listening to the sound. Swishing away, like a shooting star bursting out in the dark night, with the power of a heart lamp, it whizzed past Hong Jun with its tail flame!
Like fireworks blooming, illuminating Hong Jun's face, every time an arrow hits, a dead soldier falls to the ground. Hong Jun rushes to Li Jinglong, Li Jinglong grabs his hand, pulls him behind him, and jumps up and down the Great Wall. There are many dead soldiers, holding up their weapons, rushing towards them!
Holding a flying knife, Hong Jun looked around blankly. He saw the soldiers shouting hoarsely in unison, dragging their weapons and charging towards them on foot. Hong Jun said, "Run!"
Li Jinglong guarded Hongjun behind him, and the soldiers rushed forward. Li Jinglong changed his sword and bow, exerted all his strength, shouted violently, and raised his sword.
The snow powder on the flat ground exploded, and the light of the heart lamp burst out suddenly, forming a wave of light, sweeping away, the dead soldiers wailed in fear, and fell to the ground under the light, their helmets rolled off.
Li Jinglong leaned on the ground with his sword, and his heart was in severe pain. When he was panting, Hong Jun hurriedly supported him, and at this moment, on his chest, the imprint drawn by Yuan Kun emitted a faint light, protecting his heart.
Li Jinglong took a long breath, only to hear rustling in the distance, as if all the enemies had withdrawn, the two looked at each other. Li Jinglong said: "I heard you calling me in my dream, but I didn't expect to open my eyes... are you okay?"
Hong Jun turned his head to look at the fallen soldiers, and murmured, "These are all dead people?!"
In the deep mountains outside Jiayuguan.
The bow and arrow in Mo Zhigen's hands showed their sharpness, pointing to the depths of the woods.
Lu Xu squatted beside him with a blank face, and the two of them ambush behind the bushes together. Mo Zhigen was vigilant to catch the movement of the leaves, Lu Xu frowned, impatiently waiting, turned around and wanted to leave.
"Shh." Mo Zhigen signaled Lu Xu to ambush, and said, "Just a moment, don't go." Said Bi drew his long bow and aimed at the depths of the woods.
Seven arrows with nail heads shot out, and the animals behind the tree fell down.
Lu Xu: "!!!"
Mo Zhigen dragged a bear out of the bushes, and the arrow penetrated into the bear's right eye, into the brain, and killed it with one blow. He put the bear in front of him, clasped his hands together, bowed his body, lifted the bear up with difficulty, staggered, walked down the mountain, and turned his head, "Let's go!"
In front of Jiayuguan, there are scattered merchants everywhere. When Mo Zhigen left Chang'an, he didn't bring much panchuan. He bought a suit of clothes for himself and another for Lu Xu. The money was almost spent, so he had to hunt for prey and set up a stall under Jiayuguan to sell panchuan.
The bear lay in front of Mo Zhigen, and Mo Zhigen folded his arms, wearing a mask, stepped on the bear, and looked at the passers-by.
"Take you to eat delicious food tonight." Mo Zhigen said to Lu Xu.
Lu Xu sat cross-legged on the side, took a dagger, and cut the wood one by one. Mo Zhigen looked at him for a while, and felt that the young man was quite quiet, and he didn't make trouble for himself along the way. It seemed that as long as he could survive, he would don't go crazy. And the requirements for food are not high, unlike Hong Jun who wants to taste everything he sees, Mo Zhigen spends more time with him, so he can somewhat understand Li Jinglong's care for Hong Jun.
Some people are born to be cared for.
"Huh? This is... you are..."
A passing merchant saw Mo Zhigen, who was carelessly selling a whole bear in the market, and was shocked instantly, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa! Gonggong!"
Mo Zhigen felt uncomfortable for a moment, hurriedly signaled him to shush, and warned: "Don't shout, don't shout!"
In the market below Jiayuguan, many people heard the words and glanced at Mo Rigen, someone spotted his mask and said, "Hey, isn't this Chao Luomen?!"
Mo Zhigen gasped, Lu Xu heard the words, looked up at Mo Zhigen, and said, "Chao Luomen."
"Stop it." Mo Zhigen said.
"It's that hero!"
"Grandmother!" the businessman hurriedly said, "Last time on the Chabulagan Ancient Road, you saved my life. Since then, day and night, I have never known how to repay you. Outside the Great Wall, no one has ever known about you." whereabouts of... ”
Mo Zhigen hurriedly said: "There is no need to repay, you come here. I have to sell the bear and go north..."
When the businessman came over, he knelt down to Mo Zhigen, waved to the women and children behind him, and said, "Call En Gong!"
Suddenly, "Benevolence, Engong" rang out, and many people in the market came to see it curiously, and there was another hunter who was rescued by Mo Zhigen, and shouted: "Chao Luomen! Benefactor!"
Mo Zhigen: "..."
There was chaos in the market, the businessman remembered something, took out a box with twelve taels of gold in it, and said, "If your benefactor doesn't mind..."
Mo Zhigen hurriedly gave way, and the businessman wanted to thank him. A box was pushed over in front of Lu Xu, pushed over, and Lu Xu's eyes followed the box, looking over and over, with a confused look on his face.
There were more and more people, Mo Zhigen gave way, and said with grief and anger: "Don't just watch the fun! Who bought this bear, you are busy!"
The lying bear is a good bear, and it is worth a lot of money, but everyone is in business, and they can't buy a whole bear, and the businessman wants to kneel down to Mo Zhigen. I'll take it, Xiong will give it to you. Lu Xu, let's go. "
Mo Zhigen took the box, took Lu Xu, and left the scene as if fleeing for his life.
Lu Xu said, "Chao Luomen."
Mo Zhigen asked Lu Xu to get on the horse quickly, and then he raised his legs and stepped on it. He shook the rein and shouted: "Drive!" He fled immediately.
In the afternoon of the same day, in another small town outside Jiayuguan, Mo Zhigen stayed at a private house, and Lu Xu was still cutting his wood, saying: "Chao Luomen, benefactor."
Mo Zhigen wiped his leather hunting boots and said, "Chao Luomen means 'Dawn Star'. They gave me a nickname."
"Li Xingxing." Lu Xu said again, "Benefactor."
Mo Zhigen said to himself: "There are too many poor people in the world. My father used to say, let me see these suffering people, and then look at myself..."
Lu Xu lowered his head and carved wood, and Mo Zhigen laughed at himself: "I used to want to be a hero, wearing a mask, going around to save people and help people. Now that I think about it, I'm really stupid."
Lu Xu yawned, and Mo Rigen said, "Go to sleep."
When leaving Yulin, Mo Zhigen took Lu Xu to a clothing store. When Lu Xu saw the white military uniforms worn by people outside the Great Wall, he stood in front of the clothes for a long time. Mo Zhigen knew that the Northern Scouts always had two sets of clothes. A set of black night suits for missions, and a set of white military uniforms for wearing in the snow. It should be a habit, so Mo Zhigen bought it for him.
Lu Xu has a good figure and has all the muscles he should have. He is dressed in white, with thick black eyebrows, bright eyes, high nose and deep eyes. He seems to be of mixed blood. Mo Zhigen looked at it for a while and said, "Your parents, are you Is one from Shiwei?"
Lu Xu didn't answer, Mo Zhigen patted his chest, lay down beside him, picked up the wood carving carved by Lu Xu beside his pillow, and found that it was a small stag.
In Liangzhou Prefecture, soldiers and horses come and go, as if they are facing a big enemy.
Li Jinglong sneezed, and Hong Jun handed him a cloth towel to wipe his nose before the wind and cold recovered. When they arrived in Liangzhou, as soon as they handed over the prince's letter, the city guards did not dare to make mistakes, and hurriedly took them to the general's mansion to settle down.
Li Jinglong walked into the hall, threw a cloth bag away, and the rusty armor inside was scattered all over the floor.
"Liangzhou is not like Chang'an, please also invite Li Changshi Haihan." The guard sent ginger soup to drive the cold, and Li Jinglong hurriedly took it with both hands to thank him.
Before Hong Jun came, Li Jinglong specially told him that the soldiers are all soldiers who defend their homes and the country, so they must not be rude.
Just as he was speaking, another general came in. He was from the third-rank Hexi patrol guard, named Zhang Hao, who took the position of General Yunhui, and was equal to Li Jinglong, who was the head of the exorcism department and the general of Huaiwei Zhonglang. Everyone greeted each other, Zhang Hao took off his helmet as soon as he came in, and said with a smile: "Hey! General Li, I really admire you for a long time!"
Li Jinglong covered his nose and nodded again and again, his nose hurt a little from sneezing.
"Mr. Liang happens to be busy, so I'll be back later." Zhang Hao crossed his ankles, obviously a soldier, and said with a smile, "Let us brothers take you two out for fun?"
Li Jinglong waved his hand, and Zhang Hao said again: "Where is your wife? Yo, it's a little brother, it doesn't matter, a little brother can also be a wife... here we..."
Hong Jun was very embarrassed and said, "General Zhang, hello, I am Kong Hongjun, the exorcist."
Zhang Hao asked in surprise, "You're also from the Exorcism Division? Can you fight? Why don't you wear a sword or a bow?"
Hong Jun glanced at Li Jinglong, and popped out four flying knives in his hand, and turned them around twice for Zhang Hao to see. The four flying knives circled a few times between his five fingers, coming and going, and Zhang Hao didn't dare to do it when he saw the fingering. Once, he knew that as long as the boy wanted to, a throwing knife could be nailed to his throat in an instant.
"Offended, just kidding." Zhang Hao said with a smile.
Both Li Jinglong and Hong Jun said it was okay, Zhang Hao glanced at the armor on the ground, with curiosity in his eyes.
Li Jinglong said: "I have notified Guan Ying and went to the scene to inspect."
The two rushed all the way to Liangzhou, but they couldn't take the body with them. When Li Jinglong passed the Xiaguan Camp on the Great Wall, he asked the soldiers to go to the place where he and Hong Jun stayed overnight to clean up.
"This is..." Zhang Hao said, "Where did the armor come from? Is it an ancient thing?"
Li Jinglong blocked his nose and told the process, Zhang Hao's expression was extremely weird, he looked at the two people in front of him like a fool, wondering if he had a fever and was stupid.
Li Jinglong knew that he didn't believe it. He wanted to bring a corpse here, but the dead soldiers who were brought down by the heart lamp had become ordinary corpses. What's the use of showing this dead person to them
"We should catch a job." Li Jinglong said.
"A living corpse?" Hong Jun got a little hairy when he thought about it. He was not afraid of monsters, but it was still very uncomfortable for a dead person to lie on top of him.
It always feels wrong to say that.
"How is the capital? I haven't been back for many years." Zhang Hao didn't ask about Li Jinglong's body and other topics. it is good."
After a while, Li Jinglong asked, "Have you visited all the four frontier towns?"
Zhang Hao said with a smile: "It's okay, we have sent new troops."
Li Jinglong asked: "What evidence is there at the scene?"
Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "No."
"A Uighur?"
"It's hard for me to say, let's wait for the Duke of Liang to issue it." Zhang Hao replied.
Li Jinglong wanted to ask again, but Zhang Hao always brought the topic to Chang'an, but Li Jinglong just kept asking. Finally, Zhang Hao saw that he couldn't avoid it, so he simply smiled and said: "General Li, we are all soldiers, so I can't say something." , please Haihan."
The Great Tang Dynasty was heavy on martial arts, men were proud to join the army and lead the army, Li Jinglong naturally knew what Zhang Hao meant, and there must be sensitive issues inside, which Zhang Hao was unwilling to touch.
"I'll see the Duke later, please be sure..."
"Got it." Li Jinglong replied.
"Then just ask..." Li Jinglong was about to ask, but Ge Shuhan came back.
Ge Shuhan was tall and his voice was like a bell, he said outside: "Why did the imperial court send someone here again?!"
When everyone got up, Hong Jun was startled when he saw the man coming in. He saw that Ge Shuhan almost hit the door when he entered the room. Zhang Hao hurriedly stepped forward to help him. , Majestic, even half a head taller than Li Jinglong, when he sat on the general's seat, the whole couch trembled.
Li Jinglong hurriedly greeted the old general, Hong Jun said: "You are drunk."
"Huh!" Ge Shuhan roared, "I'm not drunk! I'm not drunk! Ten more altars!"
Another middle-aged civil servant followed in, took a cloak, covered Ge Shuhan, saluted Li Jinglong and said, "Qin Liang, the governor of Liangzhou County."
After everyone said hello, Qin Liang said again: "General Lidong rewards the army, I just came back from drinking."
Li Jinglong nodded, Ge Shuhan leaned on the couch, closed his eyes, and another maid came to drink the hangover soup, Ge Shuhan took two sips, breathed out slowly, and said: "Report, what's there in Chang'an?" By the way? What's your name? Who sent it?"
Li Jinglong saw that Ge Shuhan was reeking of alcohol, but when he became an official, the imperial inspector did not dare to drink while he was in office, so he had to say: "Duke, I came here on the order of the prince to investigate the Northwest Four The massacre of the county."
As soon as these words came out, the hall was suddenly silent, Zhang Hao had an expression of "It's over" instantly, and Qin Liang also became at a loss.
Ge Shuhan suddenly opened his eyes wide and said, "What did you say?!"
At that moment, even Hong Jun felt the murderous aura, and he thought to himself, can this matter not be mentioned
"What do you mean?" Ge Shuhan sat up straight, stared at Li Jinglong, and said word by word, "Go back to me and tell the prince that Liangzhou is under the jurisdiction of the old man, don't listen to the rumors and meddle in other's business !"
Li Jinglong immediately understood that Ge Shuhan didn't want the court to send someone to take care of him. He thought that he was probably put together by Li Heng, and he didn't remind him before leaving Chang'an!
"It's not a rumor, General..."
"Get out now!" Ge Shuhan roared, "I don't care who you are! Who sent you! Even His Majesty is useless!"
Hong Jun looked at Ge Shuhan, and it was nothing to be scolded. As soon as Li Jinglong was scolded, Hong Jun was full of anger and wanted to retort, but Li Jinglong signaled not to be impulsive, and instead smiled at Ge Shuhan.
Ge Shuhan took a deep breath and said, "What are you laughing at?"
Li Jinglong said: "Duke, you don't know something."
"Tell me." Ge Shuhan said, "I will let you finish today. Your name is Li Jinglong, right? I have been in the army for fifty years, and you are the first one today."
"Let's go." Hong Jun whispered.
Li Jinglong waved his hand, motioned for Ge Shuhan to look at the ground, bowed to pick up the armor, and asked Shuhan, "Have you seen this kind of armor, Duke?"
Ge Shuhan was taken aback, Qin Liang was afraid that Li Jinglong's tone of voice would arouse Ge Shuhan's anger, so he interjected: "Where did Li Changshi get it from?"
Li Jinglong replied: "The clothes worn by people are under the Great Wall of Han Dynasty, which is 120 miles away from here."
"Impossible." Qin Liang said, "This is the armor of the Han Dynasty, and it has rusted."
Ge Shuhan narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Jinglong, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Li Jinglong replied: "It is absolutely true, the armor is the armor of the Han Dynasty, and the people are also the people of the Han Dynasty."
"What?!" Ge Shuhan thought he didn't hear clearly.
Qin Liang frowned, while Zhang Hao looked like he wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
"Or, it's a corpse." Li Jinglong said, "Thousands of dead soldiers are all fraudulent corpses. They slaughtered the four border cities, crossed the Great Wall, and are moving around in Liangzhou."
The hall was silent again, and a needle could be heard.
After a while.
Ge Shuhan said coldly: "Is it finished?"
Li Jinglong replied: "Duke, this is the truth."
Ge Shuhan seemed to have heard a joke, and said: "Li Jinglong! You came up from Chang'an all the way, and you were ordered by the prince to make up a story to play the old man like a monkey?!"
Holding the helmet, Li Jinglong murmured: "How about this? After the fierce battle last night, there were still many corpses lying under the Great Wall. I brought them down with my unique skills and notified the nearest Guanying. Presumably the Great Wall garrison is dead. Go check the battlefield..."
Ge Shuhan looked at Li Jinglong, and Li Jinglong said calmly: "The humble job uses the head of the item as a security, as long as the body is brought in, the truth will be revealed..."
"Okay! You said it yourself!" Ge Shuhan immediately said, "Head on Xiang, Li Jinglong, you have courage!"
Li Jinglong: "..."
"This..." Qin Liang said, "Duke, Li Changshi is the crown prince..."
"This!" Li Jinglong immediately said, "Wait! Duke! The humble job is just a casual talk..."
Ge Shuhan said coldly: "There are no jokes in the army, everyone has heard it, just to be a witness." Then he looked at Li Jinglong and said, "I believe you now, not to make up stories."
Hong Jun asked: "What is the head on the item?"
Li Jinglong: "..."
"Just chop off my head." Li Jinglong said.
Hong Jun exploded immediately, and said, "How can that be done! You let him cut off your head?"
Li Jinglong said: "How do I know?! Everyone in the Longwu Army used to say that!"
Hong Jun hurriedly said to Ge Shuhan: "It doesn't count, what happened just now doesn't count."
Ge Shuhan looked at the idiot's expression on his face, while Hong Jun kept interrupting, but at this moment, the Guanying Office sent scouts to come, and shouted outside: "Report-there is a letter from the Great Wall Closing Camp!"
Ge Shuhan's eyes widened suddenly, and he said, "Tell me!"
A scout came, and Li Jinglong said, "What?"
"Are you Li Jinglong's long history?" The scout looked blank, and said, "By the Qiulin stream, there is no corpse you mentioned."
Li Jinglong: "..."
Hong Jun said: "No? How is this possible?!"
The scout said: "It is absolutely true, there is nothing!"
Ge Shuhan said: "Come here! Give me Li Jinglong..."
Li Jinglong: "Hong Jun, run!"
Before Hong Jun recovered, Li Jinglong pulled him decisively, roared angrily, turned around and rushed out.
