More than 100 miles away from Yuncheng, the Han and Tang military camps, the sun has set, the soldiers are busy cooking, the curling smoke rises, and there are birds flying in the sky from time to time. ,!

By the small river southeast of Junfu, Red Leaves sat quietly, and his eyes turned to the river from time to time, and Ouyang Narcissus was washing clothes in the river. It is really rare for the eighteenth princess to wash her own clothes, she is too idle, and if she doesn't find something to do for herself, she is afraid that she will get moldy.

"Sister Hongye, how long has Brother Hu Wei been away from the camp. Ouyang Shuixian wiped the sweat on his face and asked Hu Wei. I don't know how to do it these days, I always feel empty in my heart, as if I have lost my soul.

"Five days. Momiji replied. She remembers the days when Hu Wei left the camp the most, and every time Hu Wei went out to run errands, she counted the days. Like all women in the world, Momiji also hopes that her man can always be by her side, but she knows that her man is not an ordinary man, and it is impossible to be by her side all the time.

Ouyang Narcissus sighed: "It's only been five days, why do I always feel that it's been a long, long time?"

In the past, Ouyang Shuixian also had times when he couldn't see Hu Wei from time to time, but he never missed Hu Wei so much once. If she had a choice, she would prefer to be by Hu Wei's side, even if she had to face the wind and rain, it would be better than the boring laundry here.

"yes, I think it's been a long time. Hongye stretched out her hand and gently stroked the water at her feet, she was really idle these days, she was thinking about whether she should learn from Ouyang Shuixian and get a few clothes to wash. Anyway, when I'm so big, I don't seem to have ever washed my clothes.

"Hey, Sister Simon is here. ”

As he spoke, Ximen Yufeng appeared in Ouyang Shuixian's sight. Ximen Yufeng habitually wore a military uniform, and from a distance it didn't seem to be so happy, and her beautiful willow eyebrows were tangled, and she couldn't get rid of it.

"Third sister, what's wrong with you, you look worried?" Hongye beckoned to Ximen Yufeng.

"Eldest sister, Rou'er. Ximen Yufeng said hello to the two girls and sat down beside Momiji. She didn't hold dirty clothes in her hands, and she knew at a glance that she wasn't here to wash clothes by the river.

Ouyang Shuixian also washed his clothes and went ashore barefoot. The snow-white little feet suddenly make the ordinary big bluestone beautiful and gorgeous.

Ouyang Shuixian also saw Ximen Yufeng's worried look, and asked helpfully: "Sister Ximen, if you have any problems, you might as well say it, and everyone will solve it together." ”

Ximen Yufeng looked at the red leaves, and then at Ouyang Narcissus and said, "I'm not on my mind, it's that I always feel restless these days." ”

Ouyang Shuixian smiled: "I know, I must be thinking about Brother Hu You, I and Sister Hongye just said that Brother Hu Wei has only been away for five days, like it has been a long time." ”

Hongye also smiled: "Third sister, don't worry, I believe that Hu Wei will come back in a short time." ”

Ximen Yufeng was silent for a while, and said, "It's not about Hu Wei, it's ...... There is a sense of foreboding. ”

"Sister Simon, don't scare me. Ouyang Shuixian thought of Hu Wei as soon as she heard Ximen Yufeng's words, in her heart, Hu Wei came first, Ximen Yufeng said ominous, isn't that only Hu Wei dangerous?

Ximen Yufeng continued: "In the past few days, my mind has been restless, and I am always in a trance. At first, I thought it was because of the wind, but after careful inspection, I didn't find anything wrong with my body. This uneasiness has been even heavier in the past two days, and I am afraid that it is an ominous premonition. ”

Momiji groaned: "It turns out that you feel this way, I thought I was the only one who would be like this." In the past few days, I always feel like something is blocked in my heart, and sometimes I can't even breathe well. ”

Ouyang Narcissus changed color and said: "Sister Hongye, Sister Ximen, why do you talk more and more scary!"

Ximen Yufeng ignored Ouyang Shuixian and asked Hongye, "Eldest sister, do you think something will happen?"

Hongye frowned and said: "I also thought so, but Wang Yiwei's troops are far away in Dragon City, and there seems to be no movement in Cloud City, will there be any incidents?"

Although the Han and Tang armies are not as good as before in terms of strength, there are still tens of thousands of troops, and ordinary small forces cannot be shaken, and Hongye can't think of any forces nearby that can move them.

Ximen Yufeng said: "Since you and I have such a bad premonition, I think it's better for us to be careful, gather everyone to discuss together, and see if there are any discoveries." ”

Ouyang Shuixian said, "Is it really that strict?" Her thoughts were the same as those of Momiji, and she didn't feel that there were any forces nearby that could pose a threat to them.

Hongye agreed: "The third sister is right, Hu Wei asked us to take charge of the army, and we must not let the army have any problems before he comes back." ”

"Chen Dali, is something wrong?" Zhu Daneng received the notice and hurried to the handsome tent, only to see where Chen Dali was sitting, and hurriedly asked.

Chen Dali had just received a notice and arrived, and when he heard Zhu Daneng's question, he also looked puzzled, and said, "I don't know, I want to ask you what happened." ”

Zhu Daneng frowned and said, "I thought you knew, Hongye called us in such a hurry, I don't know why." ”

As he spoke, Harrison and other generals also arrived, it would be dinner time, and many of the generals were eating when they were notified. Military intelligence is an order, they are leaving their jobs and rushing to the commander's tent, which will be asking the familiar generals who arrived first. Who knew that all of them came and went after being notified, and none of them knew what was going on.

Just when everyone was guessing, Hongye, Ouyang Hanbing, Ximen Yufeng and other female generals also arrived. The leader was the eldest sister Hongye, and the six children including Yaya and Qi Qi also followed.

After everyone saw the ceremony, they stood up, and Momiji sat on the handsome seat. Although Hu Wei entrusted military affairs to Zhu Daneng when he left, he was absolutely qualified to sit in this position as Hongye.

"Generals, please be seated. Hongye was very anxious, but her face was very calm, she had been by Hu Wei's side for so long, and she had been in a high position for so long, she still had this bearing.

As soon as Zhu Daneng sat down, he stood up and spoke: "I don't know what is the important matter of Hongye Niangniang urgently inviting me to come?"

Zhu Daneng and Hongye are also old acquaintances, and they can be casual when they meet on weekdays, but on such occasions, he should have etiquette and he will not be less than him.

Zhu Daneng's question is also a concern for everyone, which will turn everyone's eyes to Hongye. The order to recruit was sent in her name, and she couldn't have said 'I don't know'.

Hongye nodded to Zhu Daneng and motioned for him to sit down first, and then said: "I invited you here today because last night the sixth sister Chu Zhu looked at the sky statue at night and found that the star statue was very chaotic, and it seemed that there was a bad omen of disaster. Therefore, I would like to ask you to come and discuss whether there is any abnormal situation in the army and around the barracks. ”

Hongye had already discussed with her sisters when she came, and if she and Ximen Yufeng's hunch were used as a reason to gather the generals to discuss the matter, I am afraid that the reason would be too thin. In the end, it was decided to count this reason on Chu Zhu's body.

Chu Zhu is the wisest woman among the seven wives of Hu Wei, and she has always had a relatively mysterious background in the army, and the theory of the star image has a long history in the Tianfeng Continent, and for this reason, it is more convincing than any woman's premonition.

"The star image is abnormal?" Zhu Daneng was a little dumbfounded. He can be said to be the most knowledgeable among the generals, but this star theory is not his forte, and he can be said to be completely ignorant of this aspect.

Chen Dali frowned and said, "There were indeed broom stars streaked across the sky last night, but does this mean something?"

Chen Dali was born poor, and even literacy was systematically learned after joining the army. He'd only heard of such things as stars, but he had never played with them.

Chu Zhu said: "According to the history of the stars: it is not inevitable that the stars will move, and something will happen when the broom stars are crossed." Let's not care what the ancients said for the time being, since His Majesty has temporarily handed over the army to us, we can't let anything happen to the army, and there will be no mistake if we are careful. ”

Although he was talking about things with the star image, Chu Zhu didn't want to waste too much time in the direction of the star image, so he cleverly pulled the topic to the army to lead to the topic later.

Zhu Daneng nodded and said, "What the sixth lady said is very true. I don't understand the science of astrology, but I also know that it is better to believe in what is there than to be without. The young marshal has put the army in our hands, and we must not be careless. ”

Zhu Daneng said, turned his gaze to Chen Dali, and asked, "General Chen Dali, you are in charge of the defense of the military camp, have there been any abnormal incidents recently?"

Chen Dali pondered for a while and said, "It seems that nothing special has happened. ”

"When it comes to special things, I think of one thing. A voice caught everyone's attention.

"Harrison, what did you find?" Momiji asked busily. She is in line with the principle of preferring to miss and not let go, no matter what it is, she must investigate it to the end. Others may not believe in women's intuition, but she believes it very much, and after knowing that Ximen Yufeng also has the same hunch, she believes it even more, otherwise she would not immediately gather the generals to come to discuss.

Harrison hesitated, "I don't know if I should say this or not. ”

Harrison also grabbed the words for a while, and then regretted it a little.

Zhu Daneng said: "Harrison, just tell me what you find, why bother to spit out." ”

"I'm afraid, so I'll talk about it. Harrison scratched his head and said, "But let's talk about it first, I just listened to the soldiers below, don't you laugh at me." ”

"Harrison, you're going to say it quickly. ”

Harrison's trick made even Chen Dali, who had always been relatively calm, anxious, and couldn't help but ask.

Harrison said helplessly: "That's right, two days ago, when I was on patrol, a soldier reported to me...... Say you see ghosts. ”

"Nonsense, how can there be ghosts in this world!" Zhu Daneng was very disgusted by Harrison's words. The last thing he believed in was this so-called ghost theory.

Harrison said aggrievedly: "I don't believe it either, but I can't help but feel a little hair......y when the soldier says it as if it were true."

"After that, did you send someone to investigate?" Momiji asked, interrupting Harrison.

"Yes, I sent soldiers to look at the area, but they didn't find it. ”

"Didn't you find it at all?" Momiji was a little disappointed. She remembered that Hu Wei said that there must be a demon when something goes wrong, and this would have been a clue before.

Harrison muttered, "It can't be said that there was no discovery at all, but some soldiers reported to me afterwards that the golden altar of the mortuary was broken, and it seems that someone had entered it." ”

Harrison recalled the situation and couldn't help but feel a little depressed. It's a ghost and a golden altar, it's really not a good thing at all.

Chu Zhu frowned, and said, "Are you talking about Jintan......?"

"Hmm. Momiji's expression became solemn. At this time, she was thinking of the Black Hero. Regarding the matter of the Black Hero, there are not many people in the army who know the inside story, but Hongye and Chu Zhu both know that the Black Man has some kind of connection with the ashes.

Zhu Daneng saw that Hongye and Chu Zhu's expressions were different, and couldn't help asking, "Is there something wrong?"

Hongye glanced at Chu Zhu and said, "Sixth sister, let's talk about it." ”

Chu Zhu nodded, and told everyone how Qin Ming met the black man. There is something about the black heroes, the Han and Tang armies encountered it once, and that time ten black heroes suddenly attacked the Han and Tang military camps, which became a heavy casualty, Chu Zhu mentioned this matter again at this time, and no one dared to wait for the generals including Zhu Daneng to ignore it anymore.

Zhu Daneng said: "In this way, it is very likely that this time it was done by the black man?"

Momiji frowned and said, "It's not certain yet, but we don't think we can take it lightly." I intend to do my best to investigate this matter, but I wonder what the opinions of the generals are?"

Zhu Daneng, Chen Dali, and several military generals exchanged glances with each other, and replied at the same time: "Obey!"

The calm military camp is no longer calm because of the appearance of the black man, Zhu Daneng took the order of Hongye and is responsible for the dispatch of the whole army, Chen Dali has raised the alert level, the whole army is at the first level of combat readiness, the soldiers can't sleep and undress, the knife is not in their hands, and they are ready to fight a sudden battle at any time.

Harrison, as the person who discovered the clues of the Black Hero, focused on taking people to check various suspicious places, and if he found anything, he immediately reported to Zhu Daneng, and if necessary, he could directly mobilize the army and take action to strike.

This night, the entire barracks was brightly lit, the soldiers even slept with one eye open, the atmosphere was tense to the peak, and even the night birds chirped, and there would be soldiers pulling knives.

"Harrison, did you find anything?" asked Harrison. He almost didn't sleep all night last night, waiting for news from all sides.

Not only did Harrison not sleep all night, but he had run all over the suspicious places around the military meat, and he would have been so tired that his feet didn't look like his own. This will make him really regret what a soldier has encountered a ghost, but now it's okay, the ghost hasn't been seen, and he himself is so tired that he is about to become a ghost.

"I've checked all the places around and found nothing. I don't think we're making a big fuss this time?"

Zhu Daneng shook his head and said: "Whether it's a big fuss or not, we can't be careless, you also know the lethality of the black man, if you really meet the black man again......"

Zhu Daneng shook his head when he said this, even if it was the time Qin Ming encountered, they had already encountered that kind of monster twice, but Wang Yiwu didn't seem to have encountered it once, and their luck was too bad.

Harrison said, "I know, I'm going to investigate again, and expand the search area to fifty miles around, and I won't find out." ”

Zhu Daneng grabbed Harrison, who turned around and was about to go out, and said: "You haven't rested all night, it's better to rest for a while first, don't Heixia didn't find it, you will lie down first." ”

Harrison patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, I want to play the vanguard with the young marshal back then, I didn't close my eyes for three days and three nights, and I didn't beat the enemy in the same way, this kind of trivial matter can't be difficult for me." ”

"I've been checking for a day and a night, and I haven't found anything, do you think we're too nervous?" The soldier's hard work and red leaves were all in her eyes, this time she provoked the incident, if she was really worried about it, she would feel sorry for the soldier's hard work.

Ximen Yufeng said: "The more you can't find anything, the more you have to investigate." I have a hunch that something is going to happen!"

Ximen Yufeng's words were more than before, it was better to not know that the matter was related to Heixia, and when the possibility of Heixia reappearing was raised, she was almost certain that her uneasiness came from Heixia.

Hongye reminded Ximen Yufeng: "But now the search scope has been expanded to fifty miles, is it possible that we want to check the entire Tianfeng Continent?"

Ximen Yufeng comforted Hongye and said: "I know that you love nurses and soldiers, and I can't bear to see them so lucky, but you have to think about it again, now it's just hard work, hard work will not kill people, and if there are really black heroes and we don't know their location, then the consequences are ......"

"I see. Momiji nodded and said, "You're right, no matter what life is precious, even if you can't find anything, it's better than doing nothing." ”

Ximen Yufeng said: "That's it, if you are tired, you are not afraid, it will be regarded as exercise." By the way, where Yaya and Qi Qi have gone, I don't seem to have seen their siblings since this morning. ”

Momiji said: "Qi Qi told me last night that he also wanted to investigate the matter of the Black Hero, and I asked him to find Harrison, so he should be with Harrison." ”

"Oh, I see. Speaking of which, Qi Qi has grown up a lot in the past two years, and he will find something to do on his own. Although Qi Qi is not Ximen Yufeng's own son, Ximen Yufeng has always treated him as his own son, because he is Hu Wei's son.

Speaking of Qi Qi, Hongye's face also showed a smile, and he said with relief: "Isn't it, the children are growing up and sensible day by day, and we as parents can become more and more at ease." "To be continued
