The afterglow of the sunset reflects into the river, and the ripples are golden, illuminating the eyes.

The river is not wide and the water flows soothing. The river bank is covered with weeds that are tall. Although it is lush, it makes people feel desolate and sparse.

On the official road hidden in the shade of the trees, the trees on both sides looked dark under the sunset. More than 300 strong horsemen rode their horses and rode their horses, black robes, black armor and black cloaks, and even the helmets on the silver helmet were black, with blurred faces, and a burst of smoke and dust were raised.

The man who was leading the way suddenly raised his arm high, and the entire horse team suddenly decreased, smooth and natural, without any stagnation.

Yang Xiongji, who was riding a bull, was a little confused: "Second brother, what's wrong?"

Liu Tugou chuckled and said, "Of course it's okay for your cow, it's time for your brothers to drink water."

He looked at the slope extending to the river bank, and a few Aries were scattered on the slope and on the shore. He was originally eating grass and drinking water leisurely, but at this moment he was shocked by the cavalry team and raised his head uneasily.

A twelve or three-year-old boy, holding a small whip, was worn out, his face was dirty, and he stared at a pair of bright eyes, his eyes shrunk and alert, but he didn't have much fear.

At this time, the Black Crow Guard rushed south and almost left Jizhou. What he saw along the way gradually disappeared from the beacon fire and killing aura in the north, which made these men who had been through the gates of hell a little uncomfortable.

Liu Tugou grinned and asked, "Hey, how far is this place from the nearest inn?"

The boy who was grazing the sheep hesitated for a moment and finally replied honestly: "My village is in the east, and it must be more than ten miles away. When I come back, I know that the inn has to go further to the county town to the south. I can't tell you how far I go."

He said, but his eyes looked at the commander of the army, and he was very curious about the Taoist boy who was aged but looked old.

Yang Xiongji was amused and glared at the boy, "Don't you fart, let's goat run for more than ten miles?"

Liu Tugou also smiled and shook his head, thinking that this kid was a bit cunning, quite like the Lanling Dog Butcher that day.

He was originally attracted by the ordinary and comfortable life of the shepherd boy in the countryside. He used to be ordinary, but now he felt a little inspired and felt that this was also a rare scene in the world. So he stopped to take a look and asked casually, but he didn't really think about getting the answer.

The Yizhou Inn, especially the Bianzhou Inn, are extremely tightly set up. The distances are roughly the same. It only takes a estimation of the distance to roughly infer that even though it is late today, you can always catch up with the end of the world.

Seeing that the young official who led the army ignored him, the boy who grappled the sheep and rushed to collect the flock of sheep, and soon ran away like a fire.

There were twice as many horses in the horse team as Liu Tugou gave the order, and someone took turns to drive the horses to the river to drink horses, and the people drink horses neighed, which was a different kind of noisy and bustle.

More than a month have passed since the thrilling cavalry battle in Jincheng Pass, more than 300 black crows were not in a hurry to rush on and stop. Most of them, including Ren, Dong, and Zhang Sanqi, received the prophecy of Nihua and were truly included in the system of Xuetang's old subordinates, and were no longer distinguished from each other.

It is worth mentioning that his sword seed is dormant in the Dantian Qi Sea. The mark he gave is to capture the original roots of Awei and nourish the blood beans. It is supplemented by his own clear sword energy, which adds magical effect. His skills are already deeper. The black crow survived and accumulated a deep accumulation. All of them succeeded, and no one failed and died suddenly.

Although the Black Crow Guard is seriously short of money, they are all veterans of the battle, with real elites and masters in the Qi training realm. Among them are several hundred cavalry leaders and scattered horses who are expected to be inspired, especially those who are really embraced and are no longer scattered soldiers who are not in line with each other.

Liu Tugou thought that even if he dragged the black crow to fight against the Red Armor and the White Falcon in Jincheng at this moment, he would never be at a disadvantage.

Liu Tugou squatted by the river, staring at the river water in a daze, and a strange face reflected in the water.

He touched the tiny stubble that had just popped up recently, and then he suddenly realized that he was also a young man who was growing up quickly. How old is he? Fifteen or sixteen?

Liu Tugou was a little confused and a little happy, and turned around and said, "Brother Ren, you don't want to mention the Demon Sect. Can you always talk about the Jianghu in the Central Plains?"

Ren Xichou was standing behind Liu Tugou, and laughed at him and said, "Do you have some speculations about the recruitment of the marquis of Zhenzhu?"

"We all know what the imperial prison does. It's just biting people for the emperor. It's enough for those eagles and green dogs to be there. Now that the army is suddenly recruited, I'm afraid it's going to be a big killing."

Liu Tugou nodded and said, "For the court clans, our little black crows are of no use. They are not as useful as the imperial guards in the capital. Naturally, they think that the evil people will be beaten up by evil people, so that we, the unrespectful devils, will go to the world and turn the world upside down, and then put the things on Awei in his pocket."

Awei, who was drinking water, snorted and said in a muffled voice: "Isn't the second master still so angry, otherwise we can't go where we can have fun, and we have to go to this muddy water?"

Liu Tugou laughed, stood up suddenly, stretched his waist very freely, but it made Ren Xichou and Awei feel like they were facing a lazy tiger.

"On the Jinchengguan Tower that day, the red-clothed warrior in the inspirational realm of the Valley Temple faintly disgusted his hostility towards me. I was still wondering at the time, thinking it was too swaggering and covering up the man's limelight. Now I realize it later, and it confirms it with the previous speculation."

Ren Xichou was born in the Demon Sect, and naturally he couldn't think of the Valley Temple well. He smiled when he heard this: "Although the Valley Temple is a sacrifice to the emperor and has a real and nameless national protection sect, the Shinto has always been afraid and suppressed by the temple. This time he was suppressed by the imperial prison, so he naturally would not give the adult a good face."

Liu Tugo shook his head gently. It was not difficult to see on the Jinchengguan Tower that day that the three people in the Valley Temple were competing with Cao Xianzhi, the red-robed military accusation, which shows that they were not completely embarrassed as rumored outside.

He didn't say this to Ren Xichou, but just smiled at the second master of the black crow and said, "We black crows are not from good backgrounds. We have not given any explanation for the merits made in several bloody battles. Is it true that the marquis of the prison guards have a broad face or not?"

Ren Xichou laughed silently, then frowned slightly, rubbed his fingers at the face of the human skin drum around his waist, and pondered: "Now we have been to the imperial prison, and the original contributions may be lost. A private army named Wuhou, let alone the military headquarters, or the military officers of the Privy Council, dare to overtake the affairs?"

Liu Tugou looked at Dong Dilang and Zhang Jinbei standing a little far away, and smiled and said, "The future of this trip is uncertain. Why are the two brothers willing to give up their great family business?"

Dong Dilang's face could no longer see the domineering arrogance in Shuofang City that day. Hearing this, he pulled out the jade knife on his back, stroked the sword spine and sighed, a little regretful and relieved: "Sir, the Dong family is one of the best families in Shuofang, but that was exchanged for their lives by generations. Moreover, the pool is so big and the pattern is really limited. Sooner or later, I can't stand the war in the sky. Once the smoke disappears, I will never become a master of overlords like Gongxi. My subordinates have never seen the soft style of the Central Plains and Jiangnan. How can I be willing to drink wind and eat sand in the north for the rest of my life?"

Liu Tugo smiled slightly and said nothing, Yang Xiongji's loud voice was already ringing: "This is pretentious, not like a man! Just say you are afraid of death. I think it's not just you, but you are afraid that your entire Dong family will be the same. Now that the war is everywhere, I'm afraid that you will take the second brother as a way out, let alone climbing the big tree of the Zhenzhuhou?"

Dong Dilang smiled bitterly and bowed: "Master Yang is really a sharp attack. It's not just me, I'm afraid Brother Zhang is the same, right?"

Zhang Jinbei, who was dragged into the water by Dong Dilang, nodded silently and did not speak.

This man is becoming more and less taciturn and is not keen on verbal greetings. It seems that all the children of the big banner are like this. Northern men always cover up their heroic blood under their simple and heavy temperament. Of course, except for a cunning veteran.

Liu Tugou nodded, not caring about this at all. He is a person who has family and career and has seen the world. How could he really work hard for himself for no reason? He is more interested in the marquis of Zhenzhu?

Ren Xichou observed his words and looked at his expression and chuckled: "Your Majesty doesn't have to underestimate yourself. If you are not a talented person and a tolerant person, you dare not trust your life with your own wealth and life. The rise of heroes is just that."

Liu Tugou smiled and suddenly remembered his oath.

He turned his back on the horse, his eyes as bright as stars.

"When you go to Beijing, you will compete with the heroes of the world!"
