Zhong Ling used the dark sky and dense trees to hide himself, and retreated very quickly.

He could only retreat, not hide in place.

Those barbarians searched very meticulously, all the places where people might be hiding behind trees and under rocks were specially checked, even the trees were not spared.

How can there be barbarians here?

When this group of barbarian cavalry searched the mountains and forests, they set up a rigorous formation, marching with each other's horns to attack, retreat and defend, and respond to emergencies at any time.

It can be seen that the cavalry leader has something in mind, not only understands the art of war, but also acts cautiously, Zhong Ling took a look at his formation style, and felt that this person is difficult to deal with.

After making a judgment, Zhong Ling acted more cautiously.

The Hu people didn't know what they were searching for, and they didn't even rest at night.Zhong Ling guessed, and became more and more curious about their intentions.

He observed in the dark, and quickly determined his situation - even if he could kill a few people silently, the hole that was left would be exposed soon, and the whole team would be alarmed.

The valley was narrow, and the barbarians pressed in from west to east on horseback, just blocking his way westward to Yuangang City.

Seeing that the hiding place was about to be exposed, Zhong Ling couldn't go around without disturbing the cavalry, so he had to retreat to the east.

The sky was getting brighter.

If the sky was bright at this time, his red clothes would be a bright target, too easy to be spotted.

Taking advantage of the dark sky, Zhong Ling had to speed up his pace to distance himself from the barbarians riding horses.But he is getting farther and farther away from Yuangang City.

Zhong Ling can usually judge the time according to the weather, but today is cloudy, so he can only estimate roughly.

About noon, he reached a village.

Everything in this village seemed too quiet, Zhong Ling knocked on the doors of several houses, but no one answered.

He randomly found a house, knocked on the door and broke in directly. After he went in, he searched around, but there was no one in the room.

The owner of this household hangs several sets of freshly washed clean clothes to dry by the window. They are all ordinary casual clothes, with very common materials and styles, nothing special about them.He picked up one of the sets and shook it off, seeing that it fit his body, he started to take off the clothes on his body.

He walked around in this shortened bride's wedding dress for a long time, not to mention whether it was comfortable or not during the action, but the color of the wedding dress alone was too eye-catching, and now he finally had the opportunity to change it.

He had just untied his belt when he heard a weak voice behind him: "Excuse me, miss...can you take off your clothes in another place?"

Zhong Ling was stunned. He had searched the room before, but he didn't see anyone. He didn't know where the sound came from.

It was the owner of the voice who solved the riddle by himself, and saw that the big bed in the room had been pulled open, and it turned out that there was a young man hiding under the deck of the bed.

It's just that the man was covered in blood, his face was pale, and he looked as if he had only breath left.Although he was very weak, he looked into Zhong Ling's eyes with enthusiasm: "I don't mean to peep, it's just that I'm like this...it's not convenient for me to go away, in order not to offend the girl, I can only trouble you to change to another place." gone."

Zhong Ling took a look at him and made sure that he really couldn't move, so he took the farmer's sackcloth and went to the side to change the red wedding dress on his body.

This dress is made of rough linen, it is uncomfortable to wear next to the body, but Zhong Ling is not a delicate young lady after all, and she will not complain about it.

After changing into men's clothes, he returned to the room just now, looked at the blood man between the bed boards and asked, "What's going on with you?"

Zhong Ling didn't use a fake voice when he spoke, his voice was so clear that it was not easy to be mistaken, it was indeed a man.

It's just that the man was seriously injured. When he saw him wearing women's clothes, he was preconceived. He didn't have the energy to find out what was wrong. He said weakly: "Girl, run quickly, the barbarians are coming after you."

Seeing Zhong Ling standing still, he repeated: "Hurry up, Hu Kou will always find me, don't be implicated by me."

Zhong Ling suddenly asked: "So the barbarians' cavalry are chasing you?"

This person didn't expect that he had already met the barbarian, and he was taken aback for a moment before he realized: "Yes."

"who are you?"

Someone was silent for a while before saying: "It's probably hard for me to go back alive, so I might as well tell you... I'm not fat."

Zhong Ling was silent for a moment: "You are indeed not fat, and your parents gave you the name with care."

"...My surname is Bu and my name is Pang." The man said weakly, "It's not that I'm not fat, I'm not fat at all."

The name is a bit familiar, Zhong Ling is still wondering where he heard it.

Seeing that he didn't leave, Bu Pang tried hard to persuade him, "Girl...with such a face, if you fall into Hu Kou's hands, I don't know what will happen to you...Leave quickly, you can't delay any longer."

"Well, I remembered." Zhong Ling said suddenly: "Your surname is Bu, and your father died the year before last. Are you the son who inherited his position as General?"

Bu Pang smiled wryly, "It's me."

Zhong Ling is very curious.

This small step general can be regarded as a celebrity in the imperial capital. He doesn't stay in the river to enjoy the blessings, so what is he doing in Jiangbei?

"What did you do to make Hu Kou go over the mountains to catch you?"

Bu Pang said surprisingly: "I sneaked into the firearms factory of the barbarians and peeked at their new firearms."

As soon as these words came out, Zhong Ling was a little surprised.I can't see that he has such courage and ability at such a young age.

Zhong Ling looked at him again: "You are not like your father, he is very afraid of death. But you have the guts to stab Beard's lair alone."

Zhong Ling said this very bluntly, but Bu Pang was not angry when he heard it.

He just smiled wryly: "I have been in the dynasty for more than two hundred years, and it has reached the point where the building is about to collapse, but in the entire imperial city, everyone is singing about peace and prosperity, except me... No one is in a hurry."

Zhong Ling frowned at him.

"Ten years ago, General Ding won a big victory, and the Hu people were separated for many years, but the Hu people have been recharging their energy, and it will be a matter of time before they fight again."

Halfway through his words, he started coughing, hurt his lungs, and spit blood from his mouth.He gasped for a while, and then whispered: "I went deep into the enemy's cave this time, and I gained a lot. It's a pity that I was discovered before I left."

Bu Pang's eyes gradually became slack: "...you hurry up, the barbarian is coming, run for your life."

He looked at Zhong Ling's direction, and said in a daze, "Girl... you are so beautiful, have I... met somewhere?"

"Many people have said that." Zhong Ling said indifferently: "Go to sleep."

Bu Pang finally passed out.

Zhong Ling drew out the sword he was holding in his arms.

He had already heard footsteps outside the house, and someone came outside.

Are the barbarians dispersed?Zhong Ling calmly analyzed.

The door was gently pushed open.

Zhong Ling held a whip in one hand and a sword in the other.

The whip is charged and ready to go.

The sword was unsheathed, and the blade was cold and sharp.The moment he opened the door, he threw it with his hands.

Then at the same moment, he saw Ban Qing's face.

Zhong Ling was startled, and moved an inch away from her hand. The sword barely brushed Ban Qing's hair, splitting the wooden door behind.

Inside and outside the door, the two faced each other in a daze.

Zhong Ling slowly put away the whip in his hand and looked at the embarrassed little bandit standing in front of him.

He was wearing dirty obscene clothes, his messy short hair was stained with leaves, and there were dusty handprints on his face. He didn't know how long he had been tossing outside to get such a disheveled look.

He looked at Zhong Ling pitifully, tears fell down in an instant.

Zhong Ling was astonished.

Ban Qing started, accelerated, and jumped in one go. Before Zhong Ling could react, he rushed into Zhong Ling's arms like a ignited firecracker, holding him tightly and not letting go.

Ban Qing burst into tears: "Zhong Ling - you are a ghost and I want you too! Don't go!"

The author has something to say: not fat: have we seen it?

Zhong Ling: The routine is too old, next one.

Ban Qing: woo woo woo woo (begging for a hug while shivering)

Zhong Ling: I have never seen this routine before, let me experience it for a while
