The oncoming river wind is so strong that it seems to blow people away, the moonlight dispels the darkness, and the red clothes in the wilderness fly angrily, enchanting like blazing flames.
"Sir, there is a village over there!" A swordsman pointed to the fishing village in the distance.
"Let's enter the village," another swordsman said, "I'll kidnap a few villagers!"
Dongfang Shi followed them, with a cold handsome face and beautiful eyes looking gloomily at the village ahead. The strong wind blew the black hair from his forehead, and he had a deeper profile than ordinary people.
"...No, that's inappropriate." Dongfang Shi stopped.
"Sir?!" The two swordsmen looked at him.
Dongfang Shi turned his head and looked towards the river in the northwest direction.
"Xia Jiajun doesn't know that there are fishing villages nearby," Dongfang Shi pondered. "They are hypocritical and love to show kindness. Before coming to us, they may have entered these fishing villages and received the worship and love of these ignorant people. If we go there at this time, we will undoubtedly
If you throw yourself into a trap, the village must have already laid a dragnet."
"Well, your Excellency has fought with them on the border for many years, so you must know their nature well, so now..."
"Change," Dongfang Shi looked at the swordsman on the right, "Take off your clothes."
The swordsman said without hesitation: "Yes!"
Only two of the three were left, and the two swordsmen ran across the wilderness towards the long road into the village.
Dongfang Shi, who changed his clothes as a swordsman, hid in the darkness, sneaked into the northwest river, let the bone-frozen river engulf him, and swam to the other side.

The torches along the river were lit brightly, and the swordsmen were killed and injured. Several people escaped, and the soldiers of the Yan army were chasing and cleaning them up.
After Zhao Jixiang counted the number of people, he came over to report to Shen Lie.
None of these swordsmen were vegetarians, and each of them had extremely superb skills. In the conflict with them, Yan Jun also suffered casualties, with one dead and five wounded.
In addition to reporting the situation, the men behind Zhao Jixiang also detained a middle-aged man.
The man was about forty years old, his eyes were shrinking and evasive, and his face was sallow and withered, as if it were a piece of paper stuck to a skull, looking empty and shriveled.
"This man's surname is Qiao," Zhao Jixiang said, "He said he wanted to see General Ali."
Shen Lie glanced at him and said coldly: "There is no need to see him. Check if he has committed any crime. If not, let him go."
"Did you hear that?" Zhao Ji said to the man.
The man trembled and plucked up the courage to speak, but saw that Shen Lie's eyes had turned away.
Shen Lie looked at Yu Xiaozhou, who was sitting by the river shivering. It was a summer night, and even if Yu Xiaozhou was shirtless, he shouldn't be frozen like this.
"Go and get some clothes." Shen Lie said to Ye Zheng.
There were people on the riverside and boats on the river. Yu Xiaozhou looked at them and gritted his teeth.
The plain cloth vest he wore had long been torn, and his skinny body shrank into a ball. He himself was curious as to why he was shaking uncontrollably.
"Did they hurt you?" A clear and deep male voice suddenly sounded from behind, as if completely blending into the cold night.
Yu Xiaozhou paused, turned around, and hurriedly stood up: "Shen, General Shen!"
Shen Lie looked at his body several times. He had checked when he rescued him and found that he had no obvious external injuries.
"Very cold?" Shen Lie said.
"I, I don't know what's going on..."
"Maybe he's sick," Shen Lie said, turning his head to look at Wu Shaoning, "Send him back first and let Du Xuan take a look at him."
"Yes." Wu Shaoning responded.
"No, there's no need to bother," Yu Xiaozhou said timidly, "General Shen, I don't have much trouble."
"This is for you," Shen Lie handed over a dagger, "Take it for self-defense."
Yu Xiaozhou lowered his eyes and saw that the dagger was only a foot long and had a thick texture. It was covered with black ink and was bright in color. It was decorated with silver plating. The silver edge was decorated with lapis lazuli and turquoise. It was delicate and exquisite. The handle was covered with copper and silver plating. Panchi pattern.
The entire dagger was made of exquisite craftsmanship, rich and majestic, but it was low-key and did not reveal wealth or ostentation. Yu Xiaozhou took it hesitantly and raised his head to look at Shen Lie.
"Dai Yu and Du Xuan praised you," Shen Lie said, "Kang Jian also mentioned you."
Yu Xiaozhou said embarrassedly: "Yes, but I didn't help much..."
At the beginning, he had volunteered to be used as bait to lure out his master. However, the master was not lured out, but he was captured by his uncle and used as a hostage...
"Master." Ye Zheng came over with a piece of clothing.
"Give it to him." Shen Lie said, looking at Wu Shaoning before turning around and leaving.
Wu Shaoning nodded and said to Yu Xiaozhou: "Little brother, let's go."
Yu Xiaozhou clenched the dagger in his hand, thought for a moment, and suddenly shouted to the tall figure in front of him: "General Shen!"
Shen Lie stopped and looked back.
"I don't know how many swordsmen there are in total, but there is Bian Yuanfeng, that is Mo Haizhu! He is the prisoner of these swordsmen, but I just looked and looked for him, and I didn't see him, and I don't know where he is! Apart from him, There is also a woman with a yellow complexion. This woman is very cruel. She and Lin Qingfeng seem to have never met each other. Just because my master pretended to be Xia Jiajun, she suddenly became cruel to Lin Qingfeng! I suspect that this person really hates her. This person may be Xia Jiajun or Miss Ali!"
With a solemn look, his dark eyes looked towards the swordsmen, thinking about what he had just seen, he did not see any women.
"My master is also missing," Yu Xiaozhou said, "General Shen, they may have escaped while taking advantage of the chaos!"
"Okay," Shen Lie said to him, "I understand, thank you for letting me know."
After saying that, Shen Lie turned around and ordered his men.
Yu Xiaozhou looked at Wu Shaoning: "Brother, please take me away."
"Easy to say." Wu Shaoning said.
Five miles southwest of them, at the river beach where Xia Junnan led his team just now, men in gray clothes were also counting casualties.
Because it was a fierce battle all the way, the casualties on his side were more serious, and the number of people was still being counted.
But compared to the casualties, what worried him more was Lin Qingfeng's face.
Lin Qingfeng cried so hard that she almost ran out of energy, and kept mumbling, asking people to find her uncle, Qingzhou Shenglao, Fan Zhuyi as soon as possible.
But let alone Fan Zhuyi, the man in gray didn't even find her master, Tongdu, an old shoe repairman, Ji Hong.
"General, there is still no whereabouts of Mr. Ji." The subordinate came back and said.
The man in gray clothes frowned. Seeing the Xia Family Army's boats on the river, he thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to the Xia Family Army to ask for a favor and see if you can bring a military doctor or someone with exquisite medical skills."
"yes!"
"No!" Lin Qingfeng shouted weakly, "Fang Yiping! No, don't!"
She knows exactly why she is in this situation!
If someone from Xia Jiajun was invited over, she would most likely die immediately!
The man in gray looked embarrassed. At this moment, a hoarse roar sounded in the distance.
Everyone looked up one after another.
Fan Zhuyi and Ji Hong fought with each other, twisted into a ball, and rolled out.
"If you don't save me, you won't save me until death!" Fan Zhuyi scratched Ji Hong's face.
Ji Hong didn't show any mercy. While scolding him, he tore his few gray hair into pieces.
