After the evening, when the heat subsided a little, Chang Yu and his party were on their way in a hurry or slowly. Most of the soldiers were in a low mood because of the cannibalism and were taciturn all the way.
When it got dark, the group entered the territory of Hejian Mansion, and Wuzhong became excited: "That thief Liu Zeqing wanted to destroy our Black Wolf Camp in Hejian and put him into despair. This hatred is irreconcilable and he must be killed."
There were stars in the night sky. Chang Yu looked at the direction of Hejian Fucheng in the distance: "Except for you, thousands of people in Hejian Massacre lost their lives. It is unforgivable that this beast will not kill."
"That being the case, why not kill him with one blow, but with a little calculation, wouldn't it be an advantage to this guy?" Wuzhong shouted.
Chang Yu glanced at him and sighed: "Jianghu is fighting and killing for fun, but if you want to kill a general with a heavy army, how can you just kill for fun? There are too many things to consider."
"Momojiji is so like a girl. Why are you playing so many tricks? If you just say a word, I will come to see him in three days!" Wuzhonghen said something hurriedly and unscrupulously, which seemed a bit rude. Jia Waixiong just thought. He scolded, but Chang Yu raised his hand to stop him and said to Wuzhong: "We will make a promise to you, one day you will cut off that guy's head with your own hands."
Wu Zhong snorted and said nothing, his mood gradually calmed down.
Marching through Hejian Prefecture overnight, even though the war had passed for several months, and Hejian was not the center of the whirlpool at the time, there were still ten rooms and nine empty rooms. The reason for this was still indispensable because of Liu Zeqing's "contribution" to the massacre of the city.
At that time, many people in Hejian entered the city to escape the disaster of war, but Liu Zeqing set fire to and massacred the city and almost wiped it out. Today, it is difficult to find a human being within a hundred miles.
At dawn, we arrived at the Beipai River at the junction of Xianxian County. Chang Yu ordered his men to recuperate. They looked up at the sky and Li Muchian felt happy.
Cloudy and cloudy.
"It would be good if there was a heavy rain at this time." Li Muxian looked up at the sky and murmured: "Although it is still dry this year, there is more rain than in previous years. Although it is not very heavy, it is better than nothing."
After hearing this, Chang Yu thought. Could it be that he traveled through time and changed some historical trajectories and also changed the celestial phenomena?
Under the shade of the trees by the river, the Black Panther Battalion and its guards lay all over the place in twos and threes, with only a dozen or so people patrolling the perimeter.
Li Muxian leaned against the tree trunk and meditated with his eyes closed. Jia Waixiong held his head and fell asleep. Although Chang Yu had marched all night, he was not tired. He got up and walked along the river. Qiao Sanxiu and Chen Wangting wanted to follow, but he stopped them, making them sleep well. When I wake up, I can't cause trouble by walking around at will.
But even so, the guards were still worried. The two brothers Chen Ruxin followed them ten steps away. In this world of war and chaos and cannibalism, they were not worried about the little governor wandering off alone.
It was already daylight. After walking for three to five miles along the river, Chang Yu stopped and looked around. The smoke and grass were extremely desolate. By chance, he caught a glimpse of a village with green smoke curling up in the southwest.
With a sudden thought, he walked towards the village.
The village is not small, with at least fifty households. Although it looks dilapidated from a distance, it is still intact. It seems that it has not been damaged by the military. Whether it was the rebel army going north a few months ago or the Qing army going south the month before last, this corner happens to be on the edge of the war zone. No direct impact.
After walking two miles, Chang Yu, who was approaching the village, raised his eyebrows and changed color and stopped walking. Behind him, brothers Chen Ruxin and Chen Suole quickly walked forward and looked at the village head. They also felt a chill in their hearts. They couldn't help but shout softly: "Sir, sir, this……".
In the wasteland at the head of the village, some villagers were weeping and burying corpses. There were as many as five or six corpses. There were also many villagers watching in the distance, looking slightly panicked.
"Is there a thief?" Chen Ruxin held the knife and was about to go forward, but Chang Yu pulled him back: "Plague!"
Ah! Chen Ruxin's face suddenly turned pale.
The capital was plagued by plague, killing at least a dozen to nearly a hundred people every day, but they never imagined that it would be so serious hundreds of miles away.
Chang Yu's face turned gray and he slowly returned the way he came. His heart felt as heavy as a thousand pounds of stone weighing him down.
Troops can be sent to suppress rebellions in various places, Tatar invasions can be vigorously resisted, and manpower can be organized to fight drought and locust plagues.
But this plague left him helpless!
The plague, known as the Black Death, was raging in the Ming Dynasty at this time, and it had killed tens of millions of Europeans in the Middle Ages.
Imagine that future generations will have such cutting-edge medical standards. Facing some infectious diseases, they will be on thin ice and the enemy will be in a hurry. However, in this era of medical conditions, medical equipment, and medical standards... we can only wait for death!
"There's something wrong with that man." Chang Yu was thinking with his head down when he heard Chen Suole mutter. He looked up and saw a man resting on a horse by the river in the distance.
Fresh clothes and angry horses!
This man was actually wearing a big red robe, and even the mount was a bay-red horse!
It’s really eye-catching!
But what made a few people think something was wrong was not the red horse in red, but the fact that it was carrying a sword and a bow!
These days, there are horses and weapons. Although we cannot say that they are either soldiers or thieves, it is definitely not a good thing. Not to mention being so flamboyant.
The man obviously saw Chang Yu and the others, but he only glanced this way, and then looked northeast. Chang Yu followed his gaze and saw a horse running towards the man. It was vaguely Wuzhong.
.
Seeing this, the man got on his horse and drew his bow and arrow. Although Chang Yu didn't know why, he knew what was going on. He ran towards the man with all his strength, shouting: "That thief, don't hurt anyone with a hidden arrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind came through the air. The Chen brothers shouted to be careful. Chang Yu drew his sword and struck the air sideways, knocking down the arrow. However, he did not dare to take another step forward because he had already tested this person.
Kuang Ren's archery skills are not inferior, if he wanted to shoot him just now, he would not miss.
Nearly two hundred steps away, in the blink of an eye we are in front of you, it is really frightening!
When Wuzhong saw the movement here, he also slowed down and shouted loudly: "Blood Bat, I have been looking for you for more than three years!"
"So we are old friends from Jianghu, Wu Pifu, you are not dead yet!" After a while, the man in red laughed and recognized Wuzhong, his voice was as loud as a bell, but it was extremely hoarse and harsh.
"I don't dare to die until you die!" Wuzhong put his horse on the horse and walked slowly, drawing the knife in front of him and slowly approaching the man in red.
"I haven't seen you for three years, but you are still so crazy, but your courage has weakened, and you have found so many helpers." The popular man glanced at Wuzhong: "A good man can't be defeated by four hands. If grandpa doesn't suffer the loss, I won't stay with you today."
, if you take a step forward, you will die."
Wu Zhong laughed: "Your Grandpa Wu never bothers to ask for help, but you still like to brag. Have you ever hurt Grandpa's hair in seven fights? If you are brave, there will be no distinction between superior and inferior, only life and death!"
The man in red sneered: "You die or I live." Before he finished speaking, an arrow shot through the air and went straight to Wuzhong's head. Wuzhong didn't dare to neglect and raised his sword, but he heard a crisp sound, the arrow fell to the ground, and it was Kuang Ren who came.
Shoot an arrow from behind.
Kuang Ren is a great master of archery. As soon as he made a move, the man in red's face changed drastically. Without saying a word, he patted his horse and ran westward along the river. Wuzhong shouted loudly, "Don't escape, the thief. Don't escape. He patted his horse and chased after him. Kuang Ren fired an arrow to assist the enemy."
He shot his horse over, but unexpectedly, the man in red seemed to have eyes behind his back, and shot Kuang Ren's arrow down with a backhand arrow.
Such a magical skill shocked everyone, even Kuang Ren looked stunned. Chang Yu was afraid that Wuzhong would be injured, so he called him back.
I watched a wonderful drama in a daze, but I was completely confused. I stared at Wuzhong and asked: "Vendetta?"
"Personal grudge" Wu Zhong snorted and said nothing else, rode back to the camp and went to sleep.
Blood Bat? What a scary name. Chang Yu curiously asked Qiao Sanxiu if he had ever heard of this character. However, Grandmaster Qiao had rarely been involved in the world and shook his head.
When he asked Chen Wangting again, he didn't know either: "Maybe Jiang Fa knew" but he was injured and was not around in Beijing.
Li Muxian frowned deeply and his expression flickered. Chang Yu observed his words and knew he must know this person, so he asked. Unexpectedly, Li Muxian was evasive and only said that he had heard of this name and did not know anything else.
Damn it, a charlatan is still keeping secrets. Chang Yu curled his lips and cursed in his heart, but saw that everyone was already sleeping on the ground, so he also got in the car and lay down, but he couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
