Section 10 Autumn Wind, Autumn Rain.

The team was still shuddering forward.

A gust of autumn wind blew, and the biting rain broke through the barrier of the cloth and drilled into Liao Gang's body. He shivered with cold, and couldn't help but shrink his neck. pulled the horse that was sitting down and kept snorting, and saw that Wu Ming in front of him also pulled the horse, and the horse kept spinning in place.

The dwarf mules and horses produced in the Duner grasslands are not only short, but also hardly moult in winter and summer. Therefore, there is no cold tolerance for the northern horses, and when this blow blows, many horses let out a long neigh, and the miscellaneous servants have a lot of effort to calm down.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, but Liao Gang was faintly uneasy in his heart, he slapped his horse and hurried a few steps, caught up with Wu Ming, and asked, "Lord Wu, Lord Liu, they won't have an accident, right?" ”

For some reason, he felt that the wind and rain were getting colder and colder. Because he was a concubine, his mother's background was not very good, so he was not treated very well by his father, and he was sent to the southern version at a young age, which also meant being exiled. When he was twelve years old, his mother was very thoughtful and fell ill, and his father allowed him to return to the court, but he was still often blinded by his eldest mother and eldest brother. So he secretly vowed since he was a child that he must rely on his own ability to become a general and win a place for himself and his mother.

This time the prince went south, and his father asked him to follow the prince south. He was also very happy at first, thinking that he was finally valued by his father. But now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's not quite the case.

In the past few days, he and Zhang Hao got up early every day to go dark and listen to each other talk about Wu Ming, the Guards Battalion, Li Yuan, and the Black Armor Army. Then watch them drill their battle formations. The neat trumpet, the strict military discipline. He was fascinated by it. The Green Wolf Army is also known as unparalleled in combat power to the outside world, but because it is a patchwork of miscellaneous troops, it charges up, although under the harsh military orders, it is also like fire. But in peacetime, it is free and loose, and there is a solemn and righteous wind of the Black Armor Army.

The army, this should be what it looks like. Privately, he thought so. Liu Feng took two hundred black-armored troops back to block the enemy, he was still extremely uneasy in his heart, but this gust of wind blew, but his uneasy feeling became stronger and stronger.

Wu Ming's body stiffened, and he didn't look back, but just said in a muffled voice: "Young Governor, let's go, don't think too much." ”

Liao Gang choked on Wu Ming's words, and he didn't want to say anything more, he turned his head and followed the messy footprints of the team and looked into the distance. The autumn rain was still fluttering, and he couldn't see it clearly five or six feet away, his nose was sore, he wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and he just hurried away.

The wind was getting stronger, and the rain was squeaking, and it seemed that with every step, the team was gasping and sighing. Wu Ming let the cold rain drench his body, but he didn't realize that Liao Gang's words made him feel colder in his heart.

At this time, the team stopped, and a soldier of the baggage battalion rushed from the front, shouting from afar: "My lord, there are two cars stuck in the mud, and now the horsepower has been greatly reduced, I am afraid that I will not be able to get out." ”

Almost all of these hundreds of miscellaneous servants were Southern Barbarians, and they naturally did not know the danger of this trip. In order to facilitate management, Wu Ming also specially asked a few soldiers from the baggage battalion to suppress the formation, and this soldier was the leader of it. Wu Ming stopped his horse and exclaimed, "What, there is such a thing?" ”

This place is originally close to the Azure River, the soil is very floaty, and it has been raining for so long. I'm afraid that the grass will already be as soft as a muffin. Everyone fled here, and those dwarf mules and horses were so cold and hungry that they couldn't run for a long time, and I am afraid they couldn't pull them out.

Wu Ming pulled the hat, looked ahead, and said, "Can you still go?" ”

The warrior's mouth was open, and there was a look of embarrassment on his face. At this time, another autumn wind blew, and this wind was so strong that even some of the dead grass foam on the ground was swept up by the wind and splashed in all directions. Two blades of grass stuck to the ground, jumped up, and stuck to Wu Ming's face. But he ignored it, grabbed the horse, and stroked his mane to calm the horse. He paused and said lightly: "You tell everyone not to leave, let's escape." ”

The warrior had a look of surprise on his face, and was about to ask what was going on. At this time, I could only hear the faint sound of hooves in the distance. At the beginning, it was still vague and not real. It didn't take long for it to become clearer and clearer that a large force was catching up from behind.

The warrior was stunned, then his face changed, and he turned his head and cried out, "The Persians have come, so let us flee." "Those Nanban miscellaneous servants naturally didn't know about this escape plan, but before leaving, Wu Ming still vaguely mentioned to the soldiers of the baggage battalion that once they met the Persians, let everyone escape.

The sound of hooves was getting closer and closer, and through the mist, many Persian cavalry could be seen coming from behind. They stood still in the distance, as if to confirm something. At this time, the rain slowly stopped, but the autumn wind was still blowing. The clouds pressed overhead, and the reflection was blurry in the distance.

When the servants saw so many Persians, and heard the roar of the warrior, they immediately shouted and fled in all directions. Liao Gang was shocked, patted his horse and walked to Wu Ming to stand still, and said loudly: "My lord, don't you stop them?" If they do, we'll be exposed. ”

Wu Ming turned his head and said, "Young Governor, it's too late for the Persians to discover our reality now. Once the Persians found out that they had been deceived, they would inevitably become angry and kill these servants to vent their anger. Now that our purpose has been accomplished, let them flee for their lives. ”

Although Wu Ming said it kindly, Liao Gang was still ashamed when he heard it, he lowered his head, thought about it, and said: "My lord, let's go too, if we don't leave, once the Persians pounce on us, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a furious cry from the Persians in the distance, and then rushed at full speed, apparently the other party had noticed that something was wrong here.

Wu Ming suddenly turned his head, looked at Liao Gang and said, "Young Governor, do you believe me?" ”

In the past few days, Tong Guò Zhang Hao has been stained with his ears and eyes, and he has long regarded Wu Ming as a celestial man, and when he heard Wu Ming ask such a question, he didn't want to think about it, and said casually: "Lord Wu is a hero in the world, and the kid is also admired, and he believes it." ”

Wu Ming gently took the reins of the horse, and the horse suddenly turned around and headed towards the Azure River. He turned his head, smiled slightly, and said to Liao Gang, who was stunned behind him: "Young Governor, come with me, if you don't leave, these Persians will catch up." At this time, the wind and rain have stopped, and in the sky, the dark clouds have cracked, and even a trace of bright color has appeared, and the azure river reflected in the distance is also sparkling and beautiful.

Liao Gang was stunned, the Azure River was at least nearly ten miles wide, just walking over like this, how is it different from looking for death? But Wu Ming's words seemed to have a strange magic, which made him can't help but believe in the other party, thinking of the two hundred black-armored warriors who would never return. A sense of pride suddenly rose in his heart, no matter if he dies, he will die, and if he wants to die, he will die like a man. Looking at Wu Ming, who was riding a war horse and walking towards the Azure River unhurriedly, he admired the other party even more in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, he slapped his horse and caught up with Wu Ming, and went along with Wu Ming. Behind them, nearly 2,000 Persians were already rushing towards them. Wu Ming glanced at Liao Gang and said, "Young Governor, if I can't escape today, will you blame me." ”

Liao Gang was suffocated, and then patted his chest and said loudly: "My lord, why do you blame you, it is worth dying with a hero like you." Wu Ming shook his head, smiled faintly, and said, "The young governor praised it." The word hero is too heavy for me to be. Wait, when you cross the river, you can be honest, but you don't have to die. ”

"Can you still cross the river?"

Liao Gang was surprised, and then overjoyed. He already had the heart of death, but he could still cross the river at this time, and the joy in his heart was naturally indescribable. He looked into the distance and wondered: "However, there is no boat to answer, how can this be crossed?" The two of them had already walked less than a foot away from the Azure River. After the rain, the grass was also soft, and the horses' hooves stepped on it, and the muddy water splashed everywhere, and it could not be pulled out for half a day. After two steps, the two horses stood in place, but they didn't go anywhere.

Wu Ming turned over and dismounted. The ground was full of muddy water, and when he jumped down, his body was drenched with muddy water, but he didn't seem to care. He slapped the dwarf mule horse vigorously, and the horse neighed and ran back. Wu Ming turned his head and said to Liao Gang: "Young Governor, come down and prepare to cross the river." ”

In the distance, Wen Feiat said angrily: "You two roll over to me obediently, otherwise, you will be killed by random arrows." This time, he chased for most of the day, but he chased a herd of cattle and sheep, which he couldn't tolerate. Moreover, he also said it conclusively, reporting to his father that the main force of the Han army had been discovered, and the crime of lying about the military situation must also be indispensable. Thinking of this, his heart was even more angry, and he just wanted to catch these two people and repair them well.

Liao Gang jumped off the horse, still a little uneasy in his heart, and said in his mouth: "My lord, how can I cross the river?" ”

In the distance, the Persians saw that the two men had no intention of surrendering, and had already dismounted, took bows and arrows, and pressed over.

Wu Ming shouted: "Hurry up, come to my back." ”

Liao Gang was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Yes!" Be! A few steps walked to Wu Ming, and then got on Wu Ming's back. He was almost dripping through the muddy water, and he was suddenly dirty, and he couldn't care about it at this time. Wu Ming picked up Liao Gang on his back, and suddenly said loudly: "Little grandfather, Princess Esther, the green mountains do not change, the green water always flows, we will have a period later." ”

This sound was shouted by him with full of true qi, almost like a muffled thunder blowing across the sky, resounding throughout the grassland.

In the back of the group, Esther was sitting on a warhorse, boredly playing with the dagger in her hand.

When the person is caught, what will I do? Do you plead with Grandpa Wu yourself? With Grandpa Wu's temper, after suffering such a big loss, he will definitely not give up. Do you still have to ask for the master or the father, but it is too far to come and go. Wu Ming's voice was endless, rolling across the sky, and came over. She was taken aback and looked up. I saw that in the distance, Wu Ming had already picked up Liao Gang on his back, and he arrived in the Azure River in a few vertical leaps. After the rain, the river was still a little turbid, but it only overflowed the other party's calves and never rose for half a minute. He carried Liao Gang on his back and walked towards the opposite bank step by step.

At this time, the wind and rain had already stopped, and even the dark clouds on the horizon had opened half of it, revealing that touch of blue. Half of the sun shone down from the sky, shining on the Azure River, and the waves dazzled everyone's eyes. She put the dagger back on her waist, so shocked that she could barely speak, she just muttered: "Eighth rank master, true qi liquefaction, treading the waves, he, he has reached the eighth rank?" ”
