Guan Xiaoyun asked curiously: "Brother Yuan, what does it mean to hang up?" ”

Ouyang Xianxue hurriedly said, "It means to die." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Guan Xiaoyun looked at Ouyang Xianxue, blushed and said, "Sister Xianxue, you are so beautiful." ”

Ouyang Xianxue's little face turned crimson, and she glared and said, "Little brat, how old you are to know how to flirt with women." ”

Guan Xiaoyun defended: "I'm telling the truth, I didn't tease you, I just wanted to, I wanted to find a beautiful sister-in-law." As he spoke, he looked at his eldest brother.

As soon as Guan Xiaoyun's words came out, Guan Xiaofeng was stunned, looked at Ouyang Xianxue embarrassed, and glared at his younger brother fiercely, and Ouyang Xianxue also blushed.

That night, they slept by the river, guarded by two hounds, and the place was remote enough that everyone slept soundly.

Early the next morning, the energetic people packed up and set off, first went to Youlan Village, Guan Xiaofeng went home alone and simply cleaned up, brought almost everything he could bring, and said to the neighbor that he and his younger brother were going to go out on a long trip, and entrusted the rest of the house and the house to the neighbor to help take care of it.

In the woods outside the village, Yuan Fang and the others changed into the clothes brought by Guan Xiaofeng, and they suddenly felt different, especially the three daughters of Ouyang Xianxue, who took off their armor and changed into men's clothes, showing their heroic appearance, but it would be better if the clothes were a little smaller.

Wearing a straw hat and carrying a bamboo basket containing various animal skins, it looks like a hunter who went to the city to sell furs, and did not attract anyone's attention.

Trekking all the way through mountains and rivers, crossing mountains and mountains, and finally after more than ten days, the group came to the junction of Guanglu County and Chenji County in Dongzhou.

Guan Xiaofeng and Guan Xiaoyun, two brothers, stood on the hillside, looking at the familiar village from a distance for a long time, Guan Xiaofeng sighed, and pulled his younger brother on the path leading to Dingbian City, that small village is their hometown, where they lived and grew up, but their parents are no longer there, and they have no home.

Entering the realm of Dusty County, the atmosphere became different, and although the army's camp tents were not as exaggerated as they could be seen everywhere, they were by no means uncommon.

It's been almost two months since I left Dongzhou, it was late autumn when I left, and it was early winter when I came back, the weather had become cold, the water on the ground had frozen, the cold wind was cold, and my cheeks were red.

Guan Xiaofeng was worthy of being a local native, and took Yuan Fang and his party through the mountains and rivers, avoiding the eyes and ears of the army, and getting closer and closer to Dingbian City.

On this day, snowflakes fell in the sky, the air became moist and no longer dry and cold, Ouyang Xianxue shouted and laughed and jumped, stretched out his hand to pick up the snowflakes, Yu Jingqiu and Huo Bingyan were similar, the three girls were very happy, this was the first time they had seen snow.

The dark clouds in the sky were very low, and the white snowflakes fell, at first sparsely, then getting bigger and bigger, and finally they could barely see the road clearly, and the group had to find a cave to rest.

There is still half a day's journey from Dingbian City, and even standing on the top of the mountain, you can vaguely see the outline of Dingbian City, the snow is too big, it is late, Yuan Fang decided to rest for the night.

Guan Xiaofeng's two brothers have no savings, and they have no money to buy cotton clothes after buying enough dry food, so they are still wearing single clothes, but they have frozen them these days, but fortunately, everyone's physique is good, no one is sick, otherwise there is no money to see a doctor and buy medicine, Yuan Fang will have to rob.

After lighting the fire, everyone sat around, gnawing on hard tortillas, drinking cold snow water, but their faces were full of happy smiles, and finally came back, they were about to see their former comrades-in-arms, brothers, sisters, everyone was really happy. After the meal, Yuan Fang looked at Wang Tiezhu and Zhao Shuigen: "Can you two still go?" Let's see who goes to Dingbian City first to inquire about the situation there, we have been away for too long, don't have any accidents, in that case, we will go directly to the net. ”

Wang Tiezhu stood up and said, "I'll go." ”

Zhao Shuigen also got up and said, "I'll go." ”

Wang Tiezhu patted Zhao Shuigen's shoulder: "Your leg injury is not yet healed, it is inconvenient to walk, I walk fast." ”

Zhao Shuigen patted his injured leg in annoyance, hugged Wang Tiezhu, and finally patted Wang Tiezhu on the shoulder and said, "Take care." He knew that this time he was likely to say goodbye, just like Yuan Fang feared, if things changed, Wang Tiezhu would throw himself into the net when he arrived in Dingbian City, and life and death were unpredictable.

Wang Tiezhu smiled: "You too." As he spoke, he tightened his clothes and strode out of the cave with his sword on his back, and in a short time his figure was submerged in the vast snow and disappeared.

Wang Tiezhu left, Ouyang Xianxue and the three daughters had no interest in playing in the snow, hiding in the cave and watching the snowflakes outside silently, everyone was very worried, worried about Wang Tiezhu, and worried about their comrades-in-arms and fat friends.

This night, no one slept well, Yuan Fang sat by the fire and added some firewood from time to time to make the fire more vigorous and make everyone as warm as possible.

The snow gradually became lighter, and then it stopped falling, and the ground outside became white, Yuan Fang walked to the entrance of the cave, took a deep breath of cool air, bent down and threw a snow ball to the pine trees in the treetops, and smiled.

In the distance, a little black loomed in the white, and then there was more and more black, and it became bigger and bigger, Yuan Fang's heart tightened, and he hurriedly called everyone in the cave to come out, ready to escape at any time.

Closer, closer, a group of cavalry stopped at the bottom of the mountain, Yuan Fang's brows furrowed, because he didn't know the banner of the cavalry: "Which of you knows that yellow square flag?" Why is it different from what I've ever seen? ”

Ouyang Xianxue looked at it carefully, and said uncertainly: "It can't be the imperial flag, right?" Which of you has seen it? Huo Bingyan and Yu Jingqiu shook their heads, and Zhao Shuigen also said that he had not seen them, let alone Guan Xiaofeng and Guan Xiaoyun.

Yuan Fang decisively ordered: "Let's go, let's hide first." ”

Guan Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and said, "I can't hide." Yuan Fang looked at Guan Xiaofeng in amazement.

Guan Xiaofeng took a step back, pointed to the deep footprints on the ground and said, "They can easily find us by following the footprints." ”

Yuan Fang sighed in disappointment: "Then wait." ”

Seven people stood side by side at the entrance of the cave, looking at the black-armored cavalry who were climbing the mountain, Yuan Fang said to Guan Xiaofeng and Guan Xiaoyun: "Wait a minute, if the situation is not right, you must not act rashly, just say that we have captured you to lead the way, and those people should not be difficult for you." ”

Guan Xiaoyun said stubbornly: "I'm not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, we are together." ”

Yuan Fang said earnestly: "You are stupid, why do you want to die if you are alive? Besides, if you can get out alive, you can find someone to save us. Guan Xiaoyun thought about it, but he didn't want to do that kind of treacherous thing, and he didn't know how to choose for a while.
