Wenbo said: "Zhao Zhihe" "Subordinate here," a samurai in black leather armor appeared on Wen Boyuan's right side.
Wen Boyuan said indifferently: "What is the place in front?"
Zhao Zhihe said: "Ten miles ahead is a black pine forest, belonging to the mountain plain boundary, there are bandits there on weekdays, the bandits belong to Woniu Mountain Niutou Village, the thieves are the first to open charcoal, a total of more than 200 people, using their familiarity with the nearby geographical situation, in this area to rob for a living. ” After Zhao Zhihe finished speaking, Wen Boyuan looked at Hu Xiaotian with a smile and said, "Thank you Gonggong Hu for reminding me." ” Hu Xiaotian scolded secretly in his heart, Lao Tzu kindly reminded you, you actually came with me to do this, do you want to tell me that everything is under your control Hu Xiaotian nodded, turned the horse and left, even if Lao Tzu was troublesome.
A sense of revenge rose in Wen Boyuan's heart, and he said loudly: "Zhao Zhihe, Liao Gang, the two of you will lead ten warriors to explore the path of the black pine forest first, and if there is any abnormal situation, send me a message immediately." ” "Yes" The twelve knights rushed into the distance like a black lightning bolt.
Wen Boyuan said again: "Zhanpeng" "In" "You lead twenty archers to escort the princess's car, and if you find anything unusual, shoot them on the spot."
"Yes" When Hu Xiaotian passed by Wu Jingshan in the car, Wu Jingshan lifted the curtain and said loudly: "Grandpa Hu, Grandpa Hu" Hu Xiaotian grabbed the reins of the horse, lowered his head and smiled: "What do you want Lord Wu to order?"
Wu Jingshan said: "What happened did you meet a thief?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said, "It's just that when I arrived in a place where thieves often hang out, I went to remind General Wen to be careful." ” Wu Jingshan sighed, he is a civil official, and he wishes that he would be safe and sound on this road.
As soon as he saw the deployment of troops, he couldn't help but panic in his heart.
Hu Xiaotian saw that he was scared, and said with a smile: "Lord Wu don't worry.
With the escort of General Wen, even if you encounter bandits, there will be no danger. ” Hu Xiaotian returned to Princess Anping's car, and at this time, Zhan Peng led twenty archers to escort the car, and exchanged a look with Hu Xiaotian, and the two of them already understood.
It took another hour to travel just ten miles, and the samurai sent in advance to inquire about it were already convinced that there was no danger in the black pine forest.
This forest is the only place to pass on the way north to Dayong.
Before coming to the black pine forest, it was already the end of the day, and it took two hours to walk through this black pine forest according to the pre-grasped situation, which means that it should be dusk when you walked out of the black pine forest.
On the question of whether to move on, several people had different opinions, and Hu Xiaotian suggested that it would be prudent to set up camp on the spot, rest for one night, and wait until tomorrow before leaving.
Wen Boyuan suggested moving on, and if all went well, they could get out of the woods before dark.
Hu Xiaotian thinks that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and who knows what will happen in this black pine forest.
Any one of the unexpected factors can cause them to be delayed on the way, and if they can't get out of the black pine forest before dark, spending the night in the woods is definitely a risky thing for them.
But Wen Boyuan thought that with their current strength, even if a few hundred bandits were dispatched.
Wu Jingshan has the same position as him in this matter, thinking that everything should be done sooner rather than later, let everyone speed up, and they should be able to get out of the black pine forest before dark.
It's the same if you get there and rest, there's no need to delay for half a day in vain.
The minority obeys the majority.
What's more, Hu Xiaotian's main task is to be in charge of internal finance, so he can only nod and agree to move on.
After entering the black pine forest, Wen Boyuan reminded everyone to be vigilant and pay close attention to everything around them.
Upon entering the woods, the light was noticeably dimer, and the sky itself was dark.
It feels like night is coming.
As we went deeper into the forest, the road became narrower and narrower, and the branches of the trees had to be split by the samurai with their swords and axes, and the speed of travel slowed down significantly.
Wen Boyuan commanded the team to continue to move forward, slowing down the horse.
Gradually approaching Princess Anping's car, this is to cope with the emergency, looking up, all around is a dense pine forest, the trees are full of unmelted snow, looking forward from the gap between the leaves, the distance is dense tree trunks, the north side is dyed white by the wind and snow, looking up, only to see the sky cut by the branches, dark, as if it may fall down at any time.
The men and horses walked in the vast forest and snow fields, getting deeper and deeper, the simple white of the snow looked extremely dazzling against the background of the gradually darkening sky, and the flag was torn back by the north wind, making a hunting sound.
Hu Xiaotian's voice suddenly sounded behind Wen Boyuan: "General Wen, it seems that we have to spend the night in this black pine forest tonight." ” Wen Boyuan said: "If the weather is fine, you can walk out of the black pine forest in two hours, even if it takes longer than expected, that is, it takes one more hour, and you will definitely be able to get out of this forest in time."
He said with confidence.
Hu Xiaotian said: "It will be dark when you are in the unitary, do we have to rush in the dark The roads in this forest are complicated." ” Wen Boyuan turned his head and glanced at Hu Xiaotian coldly: "You don't have to worry, Zhao Zhihe is from this area, and he knows the situation here very well." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "I also think about everyone's safety, even if he is from this area, the snow has covered the road, the forest is deep and dense, and I am not afraid of 10,000 just in case." ” "Father-in-law Hu still cares about what he is responsible for, since I have taken over this mission, I will ensure the safety of the princess."
Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "General Wen's words are wrong, not only Her Royal Highness the Princess, but also Lord Wu, and me, and everyone in this team.
Could it be that if we don't live or die, General Wen won't care?"
Wen Boyuan looked at Hu Xiaotian and sneered: "What Gonggong Hu said is very true, how could I forget you" in his heart, but he wished that he would die early.
Hu Xiaotian glanced around at the surrounding woods, sighed and said, "This forest is boundless, if you get lost, you will be in trouble." ” Wen Boyuan secretly scolded this crow's mouth, but things went in the direction he said.
Although Zhao Zhihe is a person in this area, he is not particularly familiar with the situation of the black pine forest, and he has been away from his hometown for more than ten years, the trees are constantly growing, the situation here has been very different from when he was there, not to mention that it has just snowed in the past two days, and there is a white expanse everywhere, when he first entered the black pine forest, the road is wide and easy to identify, and when they really go deep into the forest, the road is getting narrower and narrower, and then it is impossible to distinguish where the road is, and can only grope to the north according to the direction.
Originally, it was expected that it would be dark during the unitary period, but because of the cloudy sky and the fact that it was in the woods, the sky had already darkened before the unitary time, and Zhao Zhihe did not dare to march blindly and came to report to Wenbo Yuan.
Wen Boyuan groaned a little after hearing him, and immediately came to Wu Jingshan's car.
Hu Xiaotian looked at Wen Boyuan's actions from afar, and smiled secretly in his heart, this guy didn't listen to his persuasion and insisted on passing through the black pine forest, and now it is difficult to ride a tiger, it seems that he has to spend the night in this forest tonight.
Wen Boyuan was obviously deliberately ignoring Hu Xiaotian, and after discussing with Wu Jingshan, he decided to camp on the spot and continue to set off after dawn.
Hu Xiaotian didn't bother to reason with him, in the current situation, it was unwise to insist on continuing to march.
Wu Jingshan got out of the carriage, stepped on the snow and walked to the princess in front of the car, and said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness the Princess" Princess Anping lifted the curtain and said, "What's the matter with Lord Wu?"
Wu Jingshan said: "It's getting dark early today, I discussed with the two adults and decided to set up camp here, and wait until tomorrow after dawn to continue on the road." ” Hu Xiaotian secretly scolded in his heart, this old guy is really hateful, when did you discuss it with me, you actually dared to make a decision for me.

Princess Anping said: "Okay, then rest for one night before leaving." ” When the soldiers were camped, Tang Tiehan brought people over to routinely check the condition of the horses and vehicles, including Zhou Mo, and after they checked Princess Anping's car, Hu Xiaotian pointed at Zhou Mo and said, "You, stay" Tang Tiehan was slightly stunned, not knowing what Hu Xiaotian meant.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The princess's car lacks a person to inspect and maintain, and you stay in charge of this matter."
In fact, his real intention was to let Zhou Mo stay by the princess's side to be responsible for the guard, although Wen Boyuan brought a lot of warriors, but only Zhanpeng could really be trusted, but Zhanpeng could not leave the princess an inch, so Hu Xiaotian found an opportunity to keep Zhou Mo by the princess's side.
Tang Tiehan said: "Master Hu, we have other things" Hu Xiaotian interrupted him mercilessly and said, "Nothing is more important than the princess's affairs.
Walking up to Tang Tiehan, he said in a voice that only he could hear: "If you are disobedient, I will tell you about your sister-in-law." ” Tang Tiehan was taken aback, he thought that he had been fooled yesterday, but he didn't expect that he would see it after all, this guy's eyesight is really amazing.
I thought that after going through so many things, this guy could get better, but it seems that his nature is difficult to change, and he is still the same evil in the past, and he actually threatens himself.
Hu Xiaotian patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's best if everyone is safe." ” Successfully kept Zhou Mo by his side, a stone in Hu Xiaotian's heart fell to the ground, Zhou Mo's martial arts are strong, and he can almost do it foolproof to protect the princess.
At this time, Zhanpeng and the others were transferred away, and after the princess's tent was set up, Long Xiyue entered the tent accompanied by Zijuan.
Hu Xiaotian asked people to raise a bonfire around the camp, which could somewhat dispel some of the chill, and after setting up camp, the night had completely enveloped this dense forest.
After Wen Boyuan was assigned to arm, he also came to the princess's tent to say hello.
Princess Anping only made two perfunctory noises in the tent and did not show up.
