"Yan'er, Miss Shen, wake up quickly." A young man dressed as a herdsman came over with a sword. He said, "They are coming, we must prepare first."
The two women sleeping in the tent rubbed their eyes, then poked their heads outside to take a look, and sure enough they found a group of people and horses approaching not far away. They immediately walked out of the tent, led the horses first, and left the young man alone. Pack up the tent.
But after a while, the team of men and horses arrived in response. They had no flags, only a few scattered people, and their armor was not uniform. Some parts were missing, or they only had breastplates in place, and the rest of their bodies were still wearing thin cloth.
The several thin horses under them were withered and terrible, obviously they had never been used as military horses, but they still rode out.
Murong Yan and Shen Qiongzhi were stopped by someone. The three of them talked a few words in Xianbei dialect that the Han people could not understand. Then the soldier turned around to find Bai Feng's position and shouted. .
"Hey, did you all escape from Yuyi Town?"
Bai Feng picked up a pile of sundries and stood up, replying: "Master, we sneaked out last night while the guards were changing the guard, and were about to go to the Central Plains to escape the war."
"What a bullshit military master!" The boy spat on the ground, his tone full of disdain, and said, "I'm just a refugee with nowhere to go, just like you." He slightly lifted his dark golden hair. He took care of his hair and put it back into a ponytail, and continued: "We happened to be patrolling here. If you don't mind, come to our place to rest today. There are quite a few thieves around here."
"Okay, that's great!" Bai Feng put down the chores in his hands and stood there and bowed repeatedly. After a while, several other boys helped him pack everything.
After everyone was ready, they all got on their horses. Murong Yan and Shen Qiongzhi rode on a horse and followed at the end. Bai Feng walked side by side with the leader of the team. The two of them laughed and talked endlessly.
"Both girls are your wives?" The man with dark blond hair suddenly sneered: "You boy, you are so beautiful!"
Bai Feng hurriedly explained: "No, of course not. The one wearing the veil is my wife, and the one without the veil is my wife's sister."
"You are also the breadwinner of the family..." He nodded to express his understanding, and then said: "Everyone in my family is dead, and I am the only one left. But this kind of thing is not that unusual in our place."
Bai Feng saw that the other party was smiling easily, so he agreed and continued.
As they spoke, they rode horses around several high slopes, not seeing a single person along the way. There were only gravel and weeds in the field. The grass here was dry and yellow, and even the horses were unwilling to eat it. They continued walking, facing each other. The hot wind was blowing, and it wasn't until the terrain became flatter that we could see campsites emerging in the distance.
No camp was built here. Hundreds of simple tents were randomly set up here. Bai Feng and his party did not take any precautions and did not cause any sensation. Like a harmless breeze, they had already passed by many people before they were noticed. People's body.
Not long after, they came to a tent that was slightly more heavily guarded. People dismounted their horses and went to see the leaders in the tent.
"Brother, we found three people who were fleeing during our routine patrol today." The young man with dark blond hair said: "According to your usual instructions, I brought them here." After that, he let himself go. Feng and others recommended him.
"Is it you?" The leader exclaimed, "I recognize you. We met once outside Huaishuo Town."
"Who are you?" Bai Feng was suspicious for a moment, pretending to have unclear memory, but not knowing how passionate the other party was, he immediately leaned over and said, "Come and sit down, we have to catch up on old times."
Shen Qiongzhi didn't know what the two people had experienced, so he asked Murong Yan: "Are they familiar with each other?"
"No, I don't know either." Murong Yan smiled and saw Bai Feng sitting at the head of the table holding hands with the leader. While they were drinking and drinking, she couldn't help but recall the night they left Huaishuo Town.
"Brother, thanks to the little food and grass you gave us, we have survived until today!" The leader drank a glass of wine and continued: "You really don't remember me? I am 'Yixiao Huangquan'! This is my name. , you won’t forget it, right?”
"Are you smiling at the underworld?" Bai Feng faced the wine glass held by the other party, shaking his head repeatedly to show that he was too drunk, "Brother, I may have really forgotten."
Yixiao Huangquan said: "Oh, don't be afraid! Even if we just met today! My name is 'Huang Yixiao', do you know the taboo of the young hero's name?"
"Bai Feng, a nobody."
After hearing this, Huang Yixiao said arrogantly: "Okay! What a nobody, hahaha... It's this nobody who saved all our brothers! Let's all toast to Young Master Bai."
"Okay!" All the servants said in unison and came to receive the wine and toast.
Seeing this, Shen Qiongzhi couldn't help but look at Bai Feng with admiration. How could the "Wolong" in the academy suddenly be respected by so many strangers? He then asked Murong Yan again: "Yan'er, what did Brother Feng do? Things suddenly became so majestic?"
"It's just some trivial matters. We all rely on big brother Huang Yixiao to repay his kindness. How can we little people dare to reach higher?" As soon as Murong Yan said this, Huang Yixiao immediately denied it: "No, no, no, how can this be a trivial matter!"
Huang Yixiao put down his wine glass, politely walked up to Murong Yan and Shen Qiongzhi, bowed his hands and said, "Girl, I seem to have seen you that night. You must be Bai Shaoxia's wife, right? Then this one …”
"I...my name is Shen Qiongzhi."
Huang Yi smiled and said: "Okay, I was so selfless just now that I actually forgot to give you two seats."
"No need." Murong Yan said: "We are here to rest, and we are not here to claim credit. Brother Feng, have you finished saying hello?"
"Well, that's right." Bai Feng said, then stood up and bowed his hands to Huang Yixiao and said, "Brother Huang, I appreciate your kindness."
Shen Qiongzhi stood there and was puzzled, "Obviously they are so respected, why do they still reject other people's kindness?"
"Oh, you two stay!" Huang Yixiao watched Bai Feng and Murong Yan leave the camp, but there was nothing he could do to persuade them to stay: "I also want to take you to inspect the camp! I now have thousands of men and horses, and plenty of food and grass. There’s no need to flee to the Central Plains!”
Shen Qiongzhi also stood by Huang Yixiao's side and said together: "Yan'er, Brother Feng, Brother Huang is so good to us, why do you want to leave?"
"Sister Qiongzhi, please stop making trouble." Murong Yan retorted coldly: "They are gangsters. We just want to make a living. We have different purposes and do not want to work together. Do you want to fight and kill for the rest of your life?"
After hearing this, Shen Qiongzhi immediately ran out of the tent, grabbed Murong Yan's clothes, and whispered: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I thought they were some good people..."
"Hehe." Murong Yan smiled meaningfully, "You didn't ask me, either?" After talking, the two girls left the place with Bai Feng, leaving Huang Yixiao alone to vent his anger by smashing the wine glass. He was spitting, and no one else could stop him no matter what.
