The next morning I said goodbye to my beloved wives and headed north from Xuancheng, about a hundred miles away, to the foot of Yinshan Mountain.
In addition to Chu Er, Tang Mei, and Tu Jie, I only brought twenty warriors with me.
Originally, I wanted to invite Qian Sihai to go with me, but Qian Sihai probably considered that King An had just died and the situation was unknown, so he did not dare to venture into dangerous places easily. , I wrote a letter and trusted me to bring it to Chilu Wen, a businessman from Donghu.
Among the accompanying warriors, there was a man named Wang Zheng who was specially recommended to me by Chu Dazhuang from the army.
He had gone to Beihu many times to spy on the military situation, and he was quite familiar with the road to Beihu via Yinshan Mountain.
The water and grass at the foot of Yinshan Mountain are rich and fertile, but there is no shepherd in sight.
Occasionally, there are one or two wild sheep.
Wang Zhengdao: "There used to be a lot of herdsmen here, but later they all left because they couldn't bear the harassment from the Hulu tribe in the Yinshan Mountains."
I frowned and said, "General Chu has no troops stationed near here."
Wang Zhengdao: "There is an army."
He pointed to the direction due west: "There is a cavalry battalion in the west.
They are responsible for the security of this area.
However, the Yinshan Hulu are elusive, and every raid is fast and abnormal. , and their superb war horses, often by the time our army arrived, these Hulu had already evacuated.
The most ridiculous time was when the Hulu pretended to create chaos and transferred the cavalry battalion, and a large force raided the location of our cavalry battalion.
The whole camp was burned down."
I sighed: "Our army's equipment is really poor."
Wang Zhengdao: "These herdsmen saw that the army could not protect them, and no one dared to graze here, so they all moved westward.
Therefore, the land here is fertile and the water is beautiful, but no one is grazing."
Chu'er said: "You can live and work happily only if you live in peace.
If Xuancheng wants to restore prosperity, it must first manage the public security here so that the people can have a stable environment."
I nodded and said, "When we return from Beihu, this is the first thing we will face."
Since King Yong gave me the Ruixue Cong as a gift, I gave the black lion to Le Jiao Zhenqi.
Although this horse is not as majestic as the black lion, it is docile and easy to control.
Chu'er put on a light yellow riding outfit, which made her figure even more delicate and beautiful.
The cuffs and skirt were decorated with lace, and the sassy shadow revealed the unique charm of women.
The two of us rode together at the end of the team, talking and laughing cheerfully from time to time.
Entering Yinshan Mountain from Qingshakou, I feel that the weather has suddenly become much cooler.
The mountain road is lined with rugged rocks and green trees.
The dusk sunlight cannot penetrate into the canopy formed by the large trees.
The night inside the mountain is earlier than outside.
Advent.
In order to avoid encountering the local Hu people, Wang Zheng chose a narrow mountain road.
The mountain is steep and it is difficult for horses to travel.
According to common sense, the local Hu people would not choose this place to herd horses and sheep.
It was completely dark.
We found a flat piece of land to camp in the forest.
Tang Mei directed his men to set up the tent and lit a blazing bonfire in front of the tent.
Several warriors picked up their bows and arrows and walked into the forest.
There are many wild beasts in the mountains and forests, and they want to hunt some game for drinking.
Tang Mei said: "I'll go to the hill in front of the forest to see if there are any traces of foreign enemies."
I nodded and said, "Chu'er and I will go with you and take a look at the night view of Yinshan Mountain."
We were about to get up when we heard a faint cry for help coming from deep in the forest.
Tang Mei and I looked at each other and ran in the direction of the call for help.
After walking forward for more than two hundred steps, a huge rock suddenly appeared in front of me.
The voice became clearer and clearer.

It was clearly a woman's voice.
Tang Mei and I climbed up the huge rock and looked down, only to see a fiery red shadow lying there opposite.
"Help" she cried miserably.
The height from the huge rock to her position was about ten feet.
Tang Mei bent down and was about to climb down.
I took Tang Mei's arm and stopped me in a low voice: "How can there be a lonely woman in this mountain and wilderness?"
It’s better to be careful.”
Tang Mei whispered: "Master, if we don't help, if some wild beast comes, wouldn't she be extremely dangerous?"
The woman screamed more and more miserably.
I looked around to make sure no one else was there, and sighed: "You go ahead."
At this time, Chu'er came over with two warriors.
She was also quite curious and said softly: "How can there be a single woman in the mountains and wilderness at this time?"
I whispered: "Rescue her first and then talk about it."
I thought to myself: "If there is anything weird, I will kill her with one knife."
Tang Mei took off his belt and tied the woman, and climbed up along the huge rock.
When he was approaching the top of the rock, I held his arm and helped him climb up.
Tang Mei carefully put down the woman behind him.
Only then did I notice that the woman was wearing a red beard and a white animal skin cap on her head.
She had a delicate face, a pair of beautiful blue eyes full of tears, and there was something in her arms.
Holding a lamb.
I thought to myself: "I didn't expect this Hu girl to be a beauty."
Chu'er pinched my arm hard, and I frowned in pain, knowing that she was caring about me, and I immediately fell in love with this Hu girl.
Smile.
Tang Mei wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the Hu girl: "Girl, are you okay?"
The Hu girl nodded and said, "Thank you brave man for saving your life."
She tried to stand up, but she let out a painful sound and sat down on the ground again.
"How are you?"
Tang Mei asked with concern.
"I probably sprained my ankle."
Chu'er and I looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
I said deliberately: "Tang Mei, you carry this girl to the camp."
"What" Chu'er and I had already walked towards the camp first.
I whispered to Chu'er: "Look back and pay more attention to the behavior of this Hu girl and see if she has any other purposes."
Tang Mei was eager to save people just now and didn't have too many scruples.
Now he was asked to carry the Hu girl on his back.
He was a little embarrassed.
His face turned red.
He came to the camp and held the girl beside the fire.
Hu Nu put it down.
Chu'er walked over with a bottle of medicinal wine: "Sister, I don't know where you are injured.
Let me help you rub it with medicinal wine."
The Hu girl pulled up her trousers to reveal a section of her snow-white calf, but she saw that her feet were indeed bruised.
She said softly: "Pu Man doesn't dare to bother this young lady, I'd better do it myself."
Chu'er smiled and said: "You're welcome, let me help you."
She poured out medicinal wine and rubbed the injured area of the Hu girl named Pu Man.

Pu Man frowned slightly and looked extremely painful.
It seemed that her injury was not serious.
It wasn't knocked out.
I called Tang Mei aside and whispered, "Go and check around to see if anyone else is following."
Tang Mei nodded and went.
Chu'er rubbed the medicinal wine for Puman, and then noticed the lamb in her arms, and whispered: "Why did my sister appear alone in the mountains at this time?"
Pu Man sighed quietly and said: "My family lives in Chuanyun Valley in front of me.
When I was tending sheep today, I found that Xedong'er was missing, so I rushed all the way over and found it under the huge rock.
I originally wanted to save it.
When it came up, how did it know that it accidentally slipped and fell?
If it hadn't been for encountering you, I don't know what danger would have happened."
Her reason was quite reasonable.
I smiled and interjected: "It was Tang Mei who saved you, we didn't do anything to help you."
Tang Mei happened to come back at this time.
When he heard me say his name, he asked with some surprise: "What did the young master say about me?"
I smiled and said, "I happened to be talking to Miss Puman about your savior."
Tang Mei smiled and said: "It's just a trivial matter, it doesn't matter."
He then whispered to me: "There is nothing unusual around me."
I felt relieved.
After dinner, the soldiers set up a separate tent for Pu Man, and then he and Chu Er returned to the tent to rest.
Lifting the tent door and looking out through the gap, he saw Tang Mei still sitting by the bonfire.
He volunteered to be on duty tonight.
Pu Man still didn't go back to his tent to rest.
He limped to Tang Mei and sat down, seeming to be saying something to Tang Mei.
Chu'er came over, looked out from my face, and couldn't help laughing.
I was surprised and said: "What are you laughing at?"
Chu'er whispered in my ear: "Are you attracted to Pu Man?"
I smiled bitterly and said: "Conscience of heaven and earth, how could I be so sentimental?
With my sweetheart by my side, even if I have the heart of a thief, I don't have the courage of a thief."
Chu'er chuckled softly and said, "I know you don't know either, but have you noticed that Tang Mei is a little strange today."
I nodded and said, "That's what I'm worried about.
Tang Mei has never blushed towards another woman.
Today he seems to have a special liking for this Pu Man."
Chu'er said: "You are wrong.
Do you think only the state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light lamps?
You sit among the flowers all day long, but you can't bear to see Brother Tang alone."
I whispered: "That's not what I meant.
Somehow I still think this Puman is a little strange."
Chu'er said: "Maybe she is really a shepherdess.
Besides, what you did also made Tang Mei look around, and there is no one else around."
I nodded, hugged Chu'er with my backhand, and said with a smile on the carpet in the hall: "Ignore her for now, let's enjoy the wild scenery of Yinshan Mountain."
Chu'er spat softly: "You are a debauched and unscrupulous guy, you always think about these things anytime and anywhere."
Her pretty face turned red, and she looked even more beautiful under the lamp.
I kissed her lips and whispered: "While we are heading to Beihu, I will naturally have to be more diligent.
Otherwise, when will Princess Ping's independence become as big as that of General Wanyan?"

Chu'er was embarrassed and said, "I don't want to have a big belly."
I smiled and said, "Don't you think why when you look at Yun Na and the others, your eyes are full of admiration?"
Chu Erying's lips blocked my big mouth, and her soft and fragrant tongue had already spit into my lips.
I reached out my hand and quietly extinguished the lights, and the endless spring scenery quietly spread in the tent.
I woke up from my sleep in the morning, only to find that Chu'er was no longer in the tent.
I got dressed and walked out of the tent, and saw Tang Mei and Tujie feeding their horses under the tree.
I walked over happily.
The two of them smiled at me and said, "Young Master, you slept well last night."
I nodded and said, "Where's that girl Puman?"
"She and the princess picked some wild fruits just now and went to the stream to wash them," Tu said.
I was a little surprised and asked: "Is the injury on her foot healed?"
Tang Mei said: "It's much better than last night.
It doesn't affect walking anymore."
I smiled slyly and said, "You seem to care about her very much."
Tang Mei's face turned red and he said in a low voice: "I am just helping him out of justice, and I have no other intentions."
I called Wang Zheng over and asked, "Where is Chuanyun Valley that Puman mentioned?"
Wang Zhengdao: "Chuanyun Valley is not far ahead.
We must pass there when we go to Beihu."
Tang Mei said: "Shall we take her on the road with us and send her home by the way?
It might not be safe for her as a girl in this barren mountain."
I smiled and said, "You have to figure it out."
Chu'er and Puman came from the stream.
The bamboo baskets in their hands contained freshly picked wild fruits.
I greeted them with a smile, picked up a wild fruit from Chu'er's basket, and ate it. .
Pu Man came to Tang Mei, picked the largest wild fruit and handed it over.
Seeing Tang Mei's expression, I already understood that he was obviously in love with Pu Man.
I held Chu'er's slim waist and walked away.
Chu'er whispered: "She asked a lot about Tang Mei."
I smiled and said, "I didn't expect that this trip to Beihu would lead to Tang Mei's marriage."
Chu'er said: "You no longer doubt her."
I shook my head and said, "So what if I just doubt her?
I can't find any evidence now.
If I leave her behind, Tang Mei will definitely feel uncomfortable.
Let's take the risk this time.
Maybe we can succeed in Tang Mei's life."
A beautiful thing."
Chu'er smiled and nodded, and couldn't help but tighten her arm on mine.
I took another fruit, but it was extremely sour in my mouth.
I spat it out with a sound, and said with a bitter face: "This wild fruit It’s so sour.”
Chu'er also took a sip and said, "Why don't I think so?"
I chuckled and said, "You must have it, right?"
Chu Er spat softly: "How can it be so fast?
My menstruation has just passed."
After packing up the camp, we walked all the way in the direction of Chuanyun Valley.
The mountain road was rugged, and the further we went, the more difficult it became to choose.

Finally, we dismounted and led the horses.
Pu Man led the way at the front.
Her feet seemed to have fully recovered.
She hugged the lamb named Xueer'er and happily sang folk songs.
The singing was melodious and sweet, and we were all fascinated by it.
Wang Zheng explained: "Pu Man's song is the most common song among the Hu people in this area."
Someone suddenly said from behind: "Not only in this area, but also in Donghu, I often hear this song.
Miss Puman sings it really well."
It suddenly occurred to me that Puman's singing could not be a message to others.
If the enemy was attracted in this way, it would indeed be invisible.
Chu'er seemed to have guessed what I was thinking, and said softly: "We just have to be careful."
Pu Man's singing suddenly stopped, her pretty face turned slightly red and she said to Chu'er, "Sister Chu'er, I want to go to the forest for a while."
Seeing the way she was still embarrassed when she wanted to speak, I immediately understood that it was probably because she wanted to have sex, and it was difficult to say it in front of so many men like us.
I quietly glanced at Chu'er, and Chu'er immediately understood what I meant, and said with a gentle smile: "I'll go with my sister."
The two of them walked into the forest, and I turned to Wang Zheng and said, "Go ahead and take a look first."
Wang Zheng took the order to go ahead and check the situation ahead.
This place is not far from Chuanyun Valley.
I don't want any unexpected situations to occur.
Tang Mei knew that my move was because I still had doubts about Pu Man.
He was holding Pu Man's lamb in his arms.
I smiled and patted his shoulder.
I didn't expect that Tang Mei, a tough man, also had a tender side.
With Chu'er supervising him, Na Puman would naturally have no chance of escaping.
I would rather believe that I am suspicious.
If this Pu Man is really the kind girl in Tang Mei's heart, it will be a good thing for Tang Mei.
Chu'er smiled at me, probably telling me that Puman wasn't lying.
I breathed a sigh of relief and motioned for everyone to move on.
Approaching Chuanyun Valley, the mountain road became narrower and narrower, with towering trees on both sides blocking out the sunlight.
Puman stopped singing, and only the sound of horse hooves could be heard in his ears, making it even more silent.
Suddenly, several mountain birds flew out of the forest, and several horses neighed at the same time.
I, surnamed Zhong, suddenly became alert.
I pulled out my long knife with a clatter, and we stopped.
It didn't take long for everything to calm down again.
It seemed that A false alarm.
Pu Man pointed forward and said: "There is still more than a mile to go to Chuanyun Valley."
She smiled coquettishly and led the way.
Suddenly her feet tightened, and she happened to step into a trap made of mountain vines.
The vines immediately tightened, Hang her entire body upside down.
The incident happened in such a hurry that none of us could react.
"Be careful" when Tang Mo wanted to rescue her, it was already too late.
Pu Man's delicate body had already been pulled to the top of the tree.
Tang Mei shouted angrily, lightly tapped his left foot on the horse's back, jumped up, and slashed at the vines binding Pu Man with the long knife in his hand.
At the same time, three feather arrows in the woods aimed at his body.
Come.
Tang Mei couldn't stop in the air, his body spiraling, and the long knife knocked down the arrows one by one.

In an instant, he was at Pu Man's side.
Wherever the sword passed, the vine broke immediately, and Pu Man's delicate body plummeted downwards.
Tang Mei put his arms around her slender waist and led her down slowly from the air.
The ten warriors who suddenly borrowed activated at the same time and rushed towards the direction where the feather arrows appeared.
I said loudly: "Come back, let's rush out of this section of the route first."
Carrying Chu'er's catkin and rushing to the mouth of the valley, I whispered to Wang Zheng: "Aim the crossbow arrow at Pu Man.
If she makes any change, shoot an arrow."
Shoot her to death."
Wang Zheng was startled for a moment, then nodded.
Walking through this dense forest, I couldn't help but be shocked by what I saw in front of me.
I saw a pair of strangely dressed men and horses in front of me, approaching us in a menacing manner.
They all held various weapons in their hands and kept shouting.
I made a rough estimate and found that there were at least five hundred people on the other side, and each of them was sturdy and extremely strong.
The barbarian warriors stopped about ten feet away from us, their eyes looking fierce and full of evil aura.
I have known for a long time that these Hulu from Yinshan are all extremely tough and brave fighters.
Although we are all experts who are one to ten, we cannot deal with the enemy in large numbers carelessly.
A tall Hu man in the middle of the team shouted loudly: "Keep your property and women, and I will let you go."
I sneered: "It depends on whether you have the ability."
The barbarian laughed wildly, spurred his horse on his crotch, and the sound of hoofbeats sounded.
He raised his spear and took the lead, leading his murderous men to attack us.
Tang Mei leaned over and took off the spear from the horse's belly, raised his hand and whipped the horse's buttocks hard, and took the lead to greet the Hu man.
The Hu man had rich fighting experience, and he straightened his waist and pierced Tang with his spear.
The face of the mount is unknown, and the tactic of hurting the horse first is implemented.
How could Tang Mei succeed in his intention?
The tip of his spear came out and hit the opponent's spearhead.
At the same time, several people attacked.
Although I usually use a knife, in this situation of a group attacking, Attacking with a spear will be more effective, and the power of swinging, picking, slashing and thrusting will be greater.
Chu'er and I fought side by side.
Although her marksmanship was slightly weaker than mine, her skill in her moves was far superior to mine.
Many of the barbarians around us fell off their horses amidst the pitiful cries.
We didn’t want to go on a killing spree, we just wanted to make these barbarians retreat.
Killing would only arouse their ferocity and make the whole scene uncontrollable. .
While we were able to stay, many people suffered moderate injuries.
Chu'er's mount was hit in the neck by a sudden cold arrow.
The horse whined and staggered to the ground.
I grabbed her slim waist in time and carried her to my horse.
A sneak attacker behind me took the opportunity to stab me with a spear.
Chu'er's spear swept across and hit him in the waist and abdomen.
The sneak attacker screamed and fell off the horse, knocking his two companions to the ground.
Chu'er and I waved our spears left and right and cooperated tacitly, preventing the enemies around us from forming a real encirclement.
Several more horses were rushing toward us in front of us.
I turned back to Chu'er and said, "Are you afraid?"
Chu Ermei's eyes were filled with tenderness, she shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid of anything when I'm around you."
I felt a surge of pride in my heart and shouted: "Go!"
When we passed by two other horsemen, Chu'er and I fired our guns at the same time.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The two enemies in front of us were swept off the horse with their weapons.
The warriors under my command also rose up, and I didn't know it in the blink of an eye.
How many enemies were defeated.
The most intense battle should be between Tang Mei and the Hu man.
Nahu's spear skills were superb, and regardless of the speed, angle and timing, he showed that he was a master who had experienced hundreds of battles.
While Tang Mei was dealing with him, he also had to deal with other barbarians who were constantly harassing him.
His spear swept down an opponent beside him.
It was too late to get back on guard.
The spear thrust by the barbarian man with all his strength had already reached his chest. .
Tang Mei roared angrily, threw away his spear, and guarded his chest with the long knife in his left hand.
There was a loud "clang" sound as the swords clashed, and the opponent's spear point was piercing the blade.
The Hu man obviously did not expect that Tang Mei could block his inevitable spear in such a bad situation, and there was a blur in his eyes.
Show appreciation.
A woman's scream came from behind me.
I reined in the horse's reins and turned around to look, but it was Pu Man who didn't know when she was surrounded by the group of barbarians.
She sat down on the ground with a look of fear on her face. .
Tang Mei and I noticed the situation behind us at the same time, blocked the opponent's blow with our swords, turned our horses' heads and rushed towards Pu Man.
I was far away from him, and when I saw him riding alone deep into the enemy formation, I secretly screamed that something was wrong.
At this time, most of us are about to break out of the enemy's encirclement.
Under such circumstances, it is obviously not a wise move to enter the enemy's position again.
I yelled: "Tang Mei is back" Tang Mei turned a deaf ear to my words at this time.
His spear flew and rushed towards Pu Man in a bloody path.
The Hu man followed closely behind him.
I shook my head helplessly and made a gesture.
Tuqiu and the other warriors followed me and rushed towards Tang Mei's position again.
Tang Mei had already rushed to Pu Man's side, knocked down the two barbarians beside her with his spear, leaned over and wrapped one hand around Pu Man's slender waist, and lifted her up.
At the same time, the Hu man rushed behind him and stabbed Tang Mei in the back with all his strength.
My heart sank, and my limbs suddenly became cold.
Unfortunately, the distance between Tang Mei and me was too far, and there was no time to save him.
"No" Puman cried.
The Hu man was slightly startled.
The spearhead here had already touched Tang Mei's skirt.
It was too late to withdraw the spear.
The spearhead pierced into Tang Mei's body with a pop.
Tang Mei bit his lower lip hard, hugged Pu Man into his arms, and cut off the spear in the opponent's hand with a backhand knife, and blood flowed out of his wound like a spring.
His body shook and he fell off the horse.
Pu Man fell off the horse after him, crying and hugging his body: "Tang Mei, don't scare me, I hurt you."
The barbarian man stood there blankly, and all the barbarians around him also forgot to attack.
I rushed to Tang Mei, turned over, jumped off the horse, pushed Pu Man away, and roared: "Get out of here."
I already knew in my heart that Pu Man and the surrounding barbarians were obviously in the same group.
I took off Tang Mei's shirt and suddenly hugged Tang Mei's body.
My warriors surrounded us.
Chu'er pointed a spear at Pu Man, for fear that she would escape.
Pu Man ignored everything but crying at this time. .
The spearhead pierced Tang Mei's left shoulder.

It seemed that Pu Man's last cry made the Hu man change his mind about killing him.
As long as the spearhead was tilted even more to the right, it would definitely pierce Tang Mei's heart, but the spearhead It was so deep into my flesh that I didn't dare to pull it out easily, for fear that the blood would not stop gushing out.
The barbarian whispered: "Why don't you let me try?"
I turned around to look at him, and now I could see his face clearly.
This man's face was clear-cut, with rough features, and his cheeks were covered with beards.
I looked at the pale Tang Mei again.
In this case, I had no choice but to take the risk.
I said coldly: "If Tang Mei does anything wrong, I swear I will pay for it with the blood of all of you."
He looked at me fearlessly: "We, the Chata tribe, have never been afraid of threats."
Puman cried: "Brother, save him":
