The night was so quiet, the slightest sound from the bonfire burning alone accompanied the two Xianbei women, Ruoxue looked at the gradually thinning flames, took off her cloak, shook the dust, and slowly covered it on Shuyu.
The shrewd horses suddenly stood up, and without warning, they huddled their bodies together and swirled their hooves in place.
Ruoxue was awakened by the movement, she raised her eyes to see the strange behavior of the horse, and instead stared at the faint movement outside the forest with a pair of phoenix eyes.
The sound of horses' hooves and the panting of the fierce running came from the horses, and they were getting closer and closer.
"General, there's a forest here."
One of them shouted with joy.
"There's a fire there!"
The cavalry shouted.
Dozens of horsemen gathered around, rekindling the extinguished bonfire, circling around the two women who seemed to them to be no threat.
One of them said, "Who are you?"
” Ruoxue looked at the strangely dressed armor soldier on the horse and replied, "Passing." ” "With a knife and a military horse, where do you go on the road?"
Immediately the man asked.
Ruoxue sneered: "I carry a knife and ride a horse, what does it have to do with you, I can go wherever I want, do you have the right to ask!"
” "Hey!
Young girl, I advise you not to speak to our general in such a tone, he is—" The man in the black cloak interrupted the soldier, and he whispered in a very non-standard Chinese accent: "We are Huns, lost here, and have not walked out of this desert for two days and two nights, can you tell me how we can get out?"
With that, the man coughed a few times, and then fell off his horse.
"General...
Checkmate!
The crowd turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly carried the man to the campfire, trying to squeeze a few drops of life-saving fairy dew out of the empty water bags.
"Who has water...
Who has water!
People shouted in a hurry.
"They still have water!"
A soldier unloaded the water bag from Ruoxue's horse and shouted happily.
"Presumptuous!"
Ruoxue stepped forward and raised her leg, kicked the water bag into the air, and landed firmly on her own hand.
She took a few steps back with Shuyu in her arms, drew her knife in her hand, and looked angrily at the group of red-eyed wolves.
One of the elders gestured to the indignant soldiers, stepped forward and said, "Girl, we are all the general's own soldiers, if he dies, we will all have to be buried, I don't want to hurt two women in this wilderness, you must give me this water." ” Ruoxue reflexively put the water bag behind her back and sneered: "Without this water, no one can go out, this is our life-saving water, we will never save a stranger who has nothing to do with it, you better find water by yourself!"
” The man lowered his head and sighed, only to turn his kind face into a fierce face, he raised his right hand, and the soldiers behind him drew out the silver swords.
"Phew!"
Outside the forest, there was the sound of horses pulling on the top of the high sand dunes.
The crowd half-crouched down, looking through the bright enough full moon at the immovable knight on the top of the dune.
In the moonlight, the handsome knight slowly raised his arms and raised his bow, he seemed to be looking at the only place on the distant earth that could catch his attention, and coldly released an arrow towards the place where the bonfire was burning in the woods, and the silver arrow skillfully controlled the air current, cutting through the otherwise silent night sky.
The faint rush of the arrow was tense, and the cold air that jumped down from the sky with a clear arc pierced into the ground, and everyone held their breath without making any sound.
The knight on the dunes took a closer look, and finally turned his horse's head and slowly disappeared into the moonlight.
"This is the arrow of the Han army."
The veteran with the long scar on his face took the arrow and carefully discerned it.
"That's the Red Howl of the Tiger Camp."
If the snow course.
The veteran was surprised: "Chi Xiao!
” Ruoxue took the arrow and glanced at it, and said, "This arrow is poisonous, and the arrow is coated with a layer of bird feather poison, so it is red, and a slight cut can kill you." ” The veteran said: "I've heard of the tiger camp in Chang'an City, how can it appear in this place?"
” "The Tiger Ben Battalion is a heavy armored cavalry guarding Chang'an City, with a number of 3,000, which is the elite of the Han army, each of them wears a pair of tiger wings cloud gold armor, wearing a six-foot-six-inch gilt red flame robe, and the crotch can enter three hundred miles a day, but they don't go to guard Chang'an, and wander in this desert in the middle of the night, which is very strange."
Ruoxue stared at the full moon on top of the handsome sand dunes in the distance, and said thoughtfully.
"There is only one possibility, there must be a large number of men behind them, who are exploring the way for the army."
The veteran said: "In such weather, resting during the day and marching at night, it is very likely." ” Before he could finish speaking, the high-pitched neighing of war horses came from the direction of the sand dune, and hundreds of knights appeared on the top of the sand dunes, holding torches like hot churning magma, and then galloping down the steep sand wall, raising billowing smoke and dust.

The dozen or so horsemen in the lead drove in the direction of the bonfire in the forest, and when they got closer, there was only a red howling arrow stuck upside down next to the bonfire, and there was no trace.
"Search!"
The knight raised his whip, shouted, and scattered with his men and horses.
Dozens of Hun knights accepted Ruoxue's command, and they quickly covered their horses and their bodies in the sand, leaving only their heads exposed, which was the sand dunes in the huge shade under the moonlight, and the side of the marching direction of the army, their strictly trained military horses were also well-behaved and obedient at this time, only probing their high heads very low, kneeling cross-legged on the ground, without making a sound.
Seeing that the sea of fire was surging over, and continuing to advance in the direction of the north, Ruoxue coughed lightly and said to Shuyu: "They are just a team to explore the way, the real army should still be behind, we must go back before them." ” Shu Yuqiang fought his spirits, got up with Ruoxue and got on the horse, and the Hun veteran stopped and said: "Girl, the grassland is our home, please take us with you." ” Ruoxue grabbed the horse's head and said coldly: "To tell you the truth, we are Xianbei people, and we are here to find out the movements of the Han army, if you can't rush back before them, the grassland will be wiped out, and the vast desert will be in the vast desert, I think you are still looking for your own way out." ” The veteran stared at Ruoxue like a curse, raised his saber above his head, and said slowly in an accent mixed with strong national characteristics: "How sad it is that a group of male lions are trapped in the soft desert, and let them die of thirst and starvation here!"
We are the Tiefu Department of the Huns, as long as you can take our cavalry out, we are willing to fight the enemy with you and protect your homeland, we have always done what we said.
With that, the Hun knights turned over their horses, and dozens of horsemen appeared in front of them.
Ruoxue looked at the determined eyes of the knights and thought: "I often heard my father say how brave and good the Huns were, and now that the big war is imminent, although there are only a few dozen horsemen, why not bring them back to be strong." ” "Follow me!"
She nodded at the old general, raised the whip in her hand, slammed it on the horse's leg again, and shouted at the horse that had begun to gallop forward in high spirits.
The knights jumped on their horses and followed closely, and the horses soon disappeared into the night.
