Watching the little figure leave on horseback, the guard behind dismounted and came over: "General, do you really want her to leave?"
"Do you think you can stop her?" Song Erlang said, "This girl is not like ordinary children, and her skills are not bad. If she insists on leaving, it will happen sooner or later. She has not committed any crime. We cannot restrain her."
"But this place is dangerous."
"Are you her father or her mother?" Song Erlang glanced at him, "We can't control so many things. We gave her a safe choice. Just let her not want it."
With that said, he turned around and said, "Let's go. This is all we have gained after most of the day. Let's continue to kill the thieves."
The carriage was driving on the plains.
Different from the previous few days, the young man who had been sitting in the carriage was now riding ahead. The originally crowded carriage was left with only one person, Shen Shun, and became quite empty.
The curtains of the car were rolled up, and outside the window, there were green waters, green mountains, and beautiful forests. Shen Shu leaned against a wall of the car and looked at the vast green fields opposite, with a calm expression.
There were faint screams and sounds of fighting in the distance. Shen Lie looked up and saw a sea of green.
"Young Master, it's probably Song Lang who will take them." Dai Yu, the guard next to him, said.
Shen Lie nodded without saying anything. His handsome and fair profile was like ice jade, reflecting light in the sun.
As the sun gradually set in the west, they had bypassed the wilderness and stopped in front of a dilapidated waterwheel.
The guards set up a fire to boil water, and Shen Lie and Shitou fished together. Shen Shu sat for a while, got off the carriage, and stood at the water's edge to watch.
The sharpened spear broke through the water with a pop and pierced directly into the belly of the big fish in the water.
Shen Lie picked up the spear, but the big fish was still flopping and struggling. He threw it to the bamboo basket next to him and looked at Shen Xu: "Why did it come down?"
"I'm tired of sitting there." Shen Xu said lightly.
Shen Lie looked back at the water surface. The clear water was flowing fast, and fish were swimming freely in groups.
Shen Lie raised his spear again and stabbed it, and the fish ran away.
"Hahaha," Shen Xu chuckled loudly, "All things have spirits, and fish also know how to escape and resist."
"How can it resist?" Shen Lie said.
"Not giving you a full belly is its resistance."
Shen Lie had a stern face and said coldly: "Only by killing me will they be resisting."
After saying that, he raised his spear again and when he stabbed it down, he picked up another big fish.
Shen Xu watched Shen Lie throw the fish into the bamboo basket and said, "Some fish are poisonous and can poison people to death."
Shen Lie frowned and squinted his black eyes: "Can you say something nice?"
"Yes," Shen Shu smiled and stretched out her finger, "these fish are not poisonous."
"I don't want to pay attention to you." Shen Lie said, picked up the bamboo basket and walked towards the fire that was set up over there.
"You haven't cut or washed the fish yet," Shen said thoughtfully.
"No need to wash the ones I gave you to eat." Shen Lie didn't look back.
"I almost forgot," Shen Shu said with a smile, "It was fished out of the water, why should I wash it?"
The sky gradually turned from scorching hot to overcast, and a bucket of water poured out the fire, releasing a pungent smell.
Shitou hung the bucket back to the back of the carriage, sat in front of the carriage, and whipped the horse.
"You are so brave," Shen Xu leaned against the carriage and added, "You are not afraid of being discovered by the horse thieves here. No matter how good you are, you can't defeat one against a hundred."
"The horse thieves have gone out to attack the village," Shitou turned around and said, "General Song Lang is also there to suppress the bandits. There won't be a large army here, at most they will be some rogue bandits. We can deal with them."
"Young man." Shen Xu shook his head.
But I think I was really lucky and didn't encounter any obstacles along the way.
The carriage was galloping through the plains, running very fast.
Soon after it got dark, they arrived at Tuyunpo.
The mountains are dark, and only pieces of rubble remain in the faint light.
The lanterns were lit again and a few torches were lit.
Dai Yu held it high and looked back at Shen Lie: "Master, there is no way out."
Shen Lie raised his eyes and saw that everything was in chaos. The slope was covered with large rocks, some of which were swaying in the wind.
"They were probably used by the bandits to protect the soldiers." Shen Lie said, "These stones are not strong and can easily roll down."
And judging from the appearance, it has already fallen a lot. It has been raining heavily in the past few days, and many large rocks on the ground show the yin and yang side. They probably fell down not long ago.
But despite this, the mountains are still full of rolling stones.
"What should I do, Master?" Shitou asked.
Shen Lie looked at Shen Xu in the carriage: "Is there any other way?"
Shen Xu thought for a moment and said: "Dragon and Tiger Hall."
"Now can we tell you why you insisted on coming here?" Shen Lie asked again.
Shen Xun smiled wisely: "I told you, fate made it happen for me."
It’s fate again.
Shen Lie frowned irritably, went over to get on his horse, and said coldly: "Not to mention that I don't believe in fate, you always use this word to deal with me."
Shen Xu was still smiling and didn't mind his anger at all: "Do you know the way? Longhu Hall is approximately southwest of us, but we have to go around several mountains."
Shen Lie pulled the reins of the horse: "Drive!"
Shitou also quickly jumped on his horse and drove his horse to follow.
There are only two ways to go up to Longhutang, one is the back mountain and the other is the front yard.
The two mountains are separated by a cliff, and the front mountain is much larger than the back mountain.
After walking south for half an hour, we heard the majestic sound of the waterfall in the distance. After walking for another half mile, we could see the towering battle wall in the distance in the darkness.
There are many wall stacks and wall openings on the battle wall, so it is no wonder that it is difficult to fight. If you shoot a few consecutive crossbows on it, you can fall into pieces of corpses.
The mountain was quiet and dark, and the wind at the foot of the mountain became stronger after nightfall, causing the lanterns at the four corners of the carriage to sway.
There was no one guarding the door, so they went in directly. They gradually smelled the stench under their noses. The farther inside, the stronger the stench became.
Shen Lie stopped his horse and frowned.
Shitou looked sad: "Master, didn't I ask when we came out? They said there were all corpses here!"
In today's hot summer, if you sit in the sun on shallow water for several days, it will rot faster.
Shen Lie couldn't bear the strange smell in his life, so he turned back to look at Shen Xu: "Do you want to go up again?"
Shen Xu also knew his temperament. He raised his eyes towards the mountain, paused and said, "Give me a horse."
With that said, he walked out of the car door, which had been closed with the curtain.
Shen Lie turned around and walked towards the other side: "Let's go to the back mountain. The smell may be better."
"Zhiyan, you don't have to go." Shen Shu said, "I can get here by myself."
"What are you going for!" Shen Lie scolded, "The barren mountains and ridges are full of weeds. Can you see the road clearly?"
Shen Shu smiled lightly: "Zhiyan, when I picked up the gun and knife, you were not as tall as this horse."
"I don't want to say anything hurtful to you, but you yourself know what you look like now." Shen Lie said as his horse walked towards the back mountain.
Shitou looked at Shen Xu and said, "Get in the car."
Shen Xu looked at Shen Lie calmly, then turned to look at Shi Shi: "The wheel can't go up, so please untie the horse too. I still want to ride a horse."
