Suck yo yo.

In the charcoal-burning room of the Biantou Pass, Zhu Yunwen and the other two slurped down the special noodles of northwest Shanxi regardless of their image.

After drinking the boiling hot noodle soup, the faces of the three of them couldn't help showing a look of satisfaction.

In the room, there was another officer in charge of the customs station, who was accompanying him with a diligent look on his face.

Because of the gold medal and documents given by Zhu Yunxi, the imperial grandson, the Piantou Pass almost provided the best courtesy.

Looking at Zhu Yunwen, he was almost finishing the pasta.

The middle-aged manager's face immediately lit up with a smile: "It's bitter cold here and supplies are not abundant. Please forgive me, sir. But this bowl of stomach-warming noodle soup is enough."

Zhu Yunwen put down his bowl and chopsticks, reached out and wiped a handful on his mouth.

It had been a long time since he had eaten hot food. Now, eating this bowl of hot noodle soup made him feel smooth all over.

Zhu Yunwen smiled and shook his head: "I'm full already. If I eat more, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk anymore."

The director of the customs office nodded repeatedly, not daring to show any hesitation, and said in a low voice: "Young Master is going to do something big, I don't dare to say anything. It's just that there has been a lot of chaos here in the northwest of Shanxi recently, and the general is also doing it at this time.

He led the brothers in the customs station to eliminate Japanese bandits outside.

If the young master wants to cross the river, this end of the pass..."

no one.

The military and horse dispatches sent to Taiyuan City have probably arrived, but it may take some time until Taiyuan City sends a large army to support them.

But northwest Shanxi is now full of rebellions, and no one has time to spare.

Zhu Yunwen understood clearly, nodded and said: "It's just a pass, suppressing the rebellion is the big thing. I just need to trouble the boss to replace the horses and replenish the dry food for us, and we will be on the road immediately."

The officer in charge of the customs station hummed, and the smile on his face became wider. He hesitated and said: "Nowadays, things are not peaceful inside and outside the customs. Although the customs station is currently stretched, if the young master needs it, he can still appoint a chief flag officer to lead the team.

Listen to the master and do what you want."

There are only a thousand border troops stationed at Piantou Pass on weekdays.

This time, most of the people in the pass followed the Qianhu officials to wipe out the Japanese bandits, and only one or two hundred people remained in the pass.

Being able to have a chief flag officer lead more than fifty people can be considered a dedicated effort.

Zhu Yunwen did not refuse and said thank you.

Someone came in from outside, and Piantouguan had already changed horses and dry food for Zhu Yunwen and others.

The director of the office intends to stay longer so that he can get a good impression in front of Zhu Yunwen, a nobleman.

However, Zhu Yunwen had other obsessions in his heart, and soon he, Sun Cheng, and Tian Mai led a group of soldiers and horses and continued on their way from the other side of Piantou Pass.

"Sir, you can see the Yellow River more than twenty miles ahead. At this time, the Yellow River is frozen, so you can cross the river directly. However, if you want to find a safe place to cross the river, there are only one or two places."

Zhou Zongqi, dispatched by Piantou Pass, followed Zhu Yunzhen on horseback and explained in a low voice.

Zhou Zongqi had expectations in his eyes.

It was only by having a lot of drinks with the supervisors in the past that I was able to get such a good job today.

Before leaving the detention center, he also received advice from the supervisor of the detention center and knew that the person in front of him was a rare nobleman.

As long as he serves this person well, great fortune will surely come, and it is precisely because of this that he will do his best.

Zhu Yunwen nodded: "General Zhou Qi has been guarding the border all year round, and he is very familiar with the situation here. This trip has helped General Zhou Qi to take a lot of trouble. Although I have no official or position, after the matter is finished, I will definitely work for the General Secretary if I have the opportunity."

Qi said a few words."

Finally getting the promise, Mr. Zhou Qi's face immediately showed joy.

It doesn't matter if you have no official position or position.

As long as he is a noble person.

Although neither of the two people around this noble man wore official uniforms, the embroidered spring knife was enough to explain many problems.

It's hard to say that this noble man is someone who can directly hear from heaven.

So, after receiving Zhu Yunwen's promise, Zhou Zongqi was full of energy for a while.

He waved the riding whip in his hand, turned to look at the soldiers behind him, and said loudly: "Brothers, cheer up. Your eyes will be brighter when you get to the Yellow River. If you miss something, go back to the mountains and wait for yourself.

With."

In the mountains southwest of Piantou Pass.

On the pure white snow in the mountains, there is a long winding trace.

A group of people trudged hard in the wind and snow.

From time to time, someone fell down in the snow and got up covered in snow.

Some people never get up after falling down.

King Han Ming breathed heavily and took every step with extreme caution, fearing that he would not be able to get up after falling.

At the front of the team, several guards began to step on to create a safe path for those behind.

Liu Zongsheng was wrapped in several layers of cotton-padded jackets and sheepskin furs, and his whole body looked as heavy as a bear.

Such an encounter made King Han Ming extremely resentful.

Because of Liu Zongsheng's so-called great cause, they could have used the White Lotus Sect to avoid the government and live a prosperous life, but now they can only trek through the unknown mountains of northwest Shanxi and flee for their lives to avoid being pursued by the officers and soldiers.

He couldn't help but think of the past when his fathers were buried in the Yangtze River.

This made King Han Ming a little afraid, whether he would be dragged down by Liu Zongsheng and freeze to death in the heavy snow.

"river……"

"Yellow River!"

"We're out! In front of us is the Yellow River!"

"The river is really frozen..."

Several guards who were leading the way suddenly shouted loudly with joy. Looking at the white and crystal clear Yellow River in front of them, they couldn't help crying with joy and fell down in the snow.

"Yellow River?"

King Han Ming's double pressure, which was almost dead, suddenly burst into a bright light, and his whole body felt hot.

"let me see!"

King Han Ming gave a low shout and sped up, one step at a time and one step at a time, to rush forward.

All the way to the front of the guards.

Looking at the frozen Yellow River in front of him, King Han Ming breathed heavily and exhaled clouds of white smoke.

"Taobao, we are at the Yellow River!"

King Han Ming turned his head, his face full of joy.

Liu Zongsheng raised his head and saw ahead. After observing both sides of the frozen Yellow River for a while, he stretched out his hand and said, "There is a village down there. Cross the river over there."

Half an hour later.

On the frozen Yellow River, Liu Zongsheng and others had put on the common people's attire typical of northwestern Shanxi. They were sitting on several sledges that could walk on the glacier. They lowered their heads above the wind and snow and headed for the opposite side of the Yellow River where they could go ashore.

go ahead.

There were some blood stains on the sledges in the team. There were also some tiny blood spots on the bodies of some people in the team.

An endgame that is difficult to recount obviously happened not long ago.

Sitting on the sledge, Liu Zongsheng's eyes finally felt a little peaceful.

King Han Ming even felt lucky to have escaped.

"There are border troops ahead..."

The guard who was pulling the sledge and walking in front turned his head and whispered a reminder.

Liu Zongsheng and King Han Ming immediately lowered their heads.

"Follow the plan."

Liu Zongsheng whispered and gave instructions.

Zhu Yunwen and others, who drove horses from Piantou Pass to the Yellow River, followed Zhou Zongqi's guidance, divided into two teams on the river, and searched along the upper and lower reaches of the Yellow River.

Not long after, I saw a group of people on the river downstream using sledges to cross the river.

Sun Cheng frowned and said, "Are there any common people coming out at this time of year?"

Zhou Zongqi sighed softly: "It's bitterly cold at the border, and the people don't have much rations on weekdays. I guess they go into the mountains to hunt to supplement the food at home."

Zhu Yunwen frowned and said: "Gather around and check it from a distance."

By chance, and with such a clever arrangement, Zhu Yunwen met Liu Zongsheng on the frozen Yellow River.

After receiving the order, General Zhou Qi commanded his officers and soldiers to speed up and surround Liu Zongsheng and others who were disguised as Jin people.

"Piantou Pass, who are you and where are you going?"

Zhou Zongqi was riding on horseback, staring at Liu Zongsheng and others with vigilant eyes.

The guard walking in front quickly bowed and raised his head, and replied nervously: "Master, the common people want to cross the river to hunt. A few days ago, I heard that there were wild deer on the other side of the river, and there was not enough food in the village, so I thought about it.

Can you take a chance?"
