When Wen Fei left Jiangzhou with her people, she left in a hurry, and she almost left in a gesture of fleeing.Except for Chu Xi and Chu's family, or Chu Xi, no one knew why she left so eagerly.Only in the dark, there are pairs of eyes watching the back of her leaving, and the undercurrent begins to surge under the calm appearance...

Outside Jiangzhou City, a group of people rode their horses and raised their whips, and only after walking for twenty or thirty miles did they slow down their horse speed a little.

Yang Qi glanced back, but he could no longer see the familiar city wall of Jiangzhou, so he turned his gaze back and asked, "General, where are we going now? Are we going to Huai City along this road?"

Wen Fei rode his horse and walked in the forefront.In the past few days, she was in a bad mood, and her face was quite stern, so that the guards all raised 12 points of caution in front of her, and they didn't dare to ask more questions.But when Yang Qi asked the question, she was not unhappy at all, she just lowered her eyes and thought for a while before saying, "No, let's not go to Huai City, let's go to Rongcheng."

Yang Qi was a little surprised when he heard this, because the road under his feet led to Huai City, but the road to Rongcheng was in another direction, and they had to turn back and detour to get here.In other words, if the general had the idea of ​​going to Rongcheng from the beginning, then they should leave the city in another direction instead of making a big circle like they are doing now.

But even if Yang Qi and the others didn't understand Wen Fei's thoughts, the army ordered them to do so, and the group just obeyed the orders.

Immediately, the group of people turned around and made a detour to Rongcheng by the small path.

……

Riding the horse and raising the whip, all the way.

Jiangnan, which was originally beautiful, was still severely damaged by that flood.Wen Fei and the others walked all the way to Rongcheng, although what they saw along the way was not starved to death, but it was also full of desolation.

In such an environment, the personal guards also calmed down, and they hurried on silently most of the time along the way.Occasionally, I met a few disaster victims on the road. Looking at them poorly, the guards would give them some dry food. Fortunately, this group of people were all strong men, and they even held knives and swords. Even if they were extremely hungry The victims of the disaster did not dare to rob them.Otherwise, if they acted like this, I'm afraid they would have been snatched away long ago!

Such a journey was smooth, and after four or five days, it was not far from Rongcheng.

That night, the people did not find a place to stay, so they had to find a leeward open space to camp and sleep... In fact, many post stations along the south of the Yangtze River were repaired. Unfortunately, although a flood did not submerge all the post stations, the follow-up refugees passed by. However, these post stations were either robbed or smashed, and most of them were destroyed in the end.

Fortunately, Wen Fei and his party were all from the army, and it was not a big deal to set up camp or sleep in the wilderness.Even if they have long been accustomed to a harsher life, it is not difficult for them now.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, everyone immediately worked together.Those who lit the fire, boiled the water, fed the horses, and patrolled the surroundings and set up traps to prevent wild animals, almost no one was idle.Then, in less than half an hour, everything was in order.

Wen Fei held a peeled branch in his hand. The branch was sharpened at one end, put on dry food and put it on the fire to roast. After a while, he could smell the aroma of the roasted food.

A group of soldiers are not very particular people, except for Wen Fei, everyone else just ate dry food, at most two mouthfuls of cold water.However, the food is indeed more fragrant after it is baked, so that the aroma has attracted a group of uninvited guests - a group of ragged refugees, they did not know where they were hidden before, and the guards did not find them when they were patrolling around. .But now these people came out of the small woods behind the camp one by one, staring at the dry food in everyone's hands, as if a pack of hungry wolves were staring at their prey.

The personal guards are used to the wind and rain, and everyone's hands are more or less contaminated with human life. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are not afraid of heaven and earth.But now, facing the hungry eyes of these refugees, goosebumps appeared on their backs for no reason.

Yang Qi frowned tightly, but he didn't intend to pass out the dry food in his hand like the previous few times, but instead held the handle of the knife with one hand.

The personal guards also reacted in the same way. Although they often have soft hearts, they are not the kind of weak and deceitful people, let alone overflowing with kindness.The group of refugees in front of them is obviously not a good person. Although they still have dry food, they cannot be snatched by others!

With a sound of "shua", the guards all pulled out their knives, with the blades facing outwards, and faced the refugees who were gradually surrounding them with a deterrent attitude.

The refugees stopped moving forward, frightened by the icy blade, and stopped cowering.So the original frightening aura dissipated, and these refugees became pitiful again, many of them were elderly or young, Qi Qi Ai Ai looked over with extremely pitiful eyes.

However, this time the guards did not soften their hearts. They held up their swords and drove these refugees away from their eyes in a gesture of driving away.

Wen Fei never said anything, she ate the baked dry food slowly, as if she didn't pay attention to the group of refugees.But until these refugees were driven away, she could still feel a vague gaze on her...

************************************************** ********************

After a whole day's journey, they are always exhausted when they rest at night.Therefore, after nightfall, except for those who took turns to watch the night, the rest soon fell asleep and fell asleep.

Wen Fei found an open space, spread a blanket on the ground, and slept with his clothes on.

The night fell quickly, and the temporary camp was peaceful.Apart from the snoring of the guards one after another, there is only the sound of insects around, and there seems to be a different kind of vitality and excitement in the calm.

However, I don't know when it started, the fog at night seemed to be thicker, and slowly shrouded in.

Gradually, the sound of insects disappeared, and the sound of snoring seemed to subside slowly, and the surroundings fell into complete silence.The guards on guard at night seemed to be unaware of this, and at first they kept their piercing eyes open, looking around vigilantly from time to time.But with the passage of time, the environment was too comfortable, and the guards who kept watch at night gradually became sleepy.

I saw his eyelids drooping little by little, and when they were about to close, they opened them with great effort, trying hard to fight against his drowsiness.It's a pity that this is really too difficult. After struggling several times, Qin Wei lowered his head a little and finally fell asleep.

It is a prudent practice in the military, naturally there will not be only one person for the night watch, at least three or five people will be there to take care of them, and tonight is no exception.But the strange thing is that the three or five people who were on the night watch fell asleep almost at the same time, and finally couldn't hold back the drowsiness, and fell asleep while on duty.As a result, in this temporary camp, everyone fell into a dreamland, and no longer knew anything about the surroundings.

As the dew deepened, figures slowly appeared in the thick night, rushing toward the camp like a siege.

When the figures approached, they could be seen clearly that they were thin and ragged...they were the group of refugees who were driven away by the guards before.It turned out that they were just expelled, but they didn't leave. Instead, they came back in the middle of the night.

The refugees were very quiet. They approached silently, squatted down silently, and then silently opened everyone's bags—everything that could be eaten, such as dry food, was snatched up first, and those who snatched it would immediately put it away. The food stuffed into his mouth, chewed and swallowed, and he would not stop rolling his eyes even when he was choked, as if if he hesitated, the food he grabbed would be snatched away again.Then gold and silver, water bladders, clothes, and all usable things were snatched away by these refugees.

If they hadn't seen the bravery of the guards before, they were afraid that their actions would wake them up too much, and these refugees would not even let go of the clothes on the guards, they must be stripped clean!

Besides the clothes, the guards also left another thing behind, and that was the swords that everyone held in their arms!

What the sword means to soldiers, no one knows better than this group of people who have been on the battlefield for many years.Therefore, they will place their burdens randomly at night, but their weapons will always be placed where they are most convenient.Most of them even lay their pillows on their swords, or fell asleep with their swords in their arms. In this case, if they wanted to take away their weapons, they would definitely be alarmed.

But that's the case, and some people did it...

"Stop, what are you doing?!" An old man saw this scene first, and scolded in a low voice.

It was a young man who stretched out his hand to steal the knife. Hearing the old man's scolding, he shrank his hand immediately, but then he mustered up his courage and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, these people are so fierce because they have swords. Waiting for us to steal all of these, what are they doing? In the end, they are still the same as us, maybe even worse than us!"

The old man was immediately anxious when he heard the words, but before he could reprimand him, he raised his eyes and found that most of the companions around him were moved.Then the situation was no longer under his control, and he stretched out his hands impatiently towards the swords of the guards.

The next moment, there was only a "choke", which was the sound of the knife colliding in the sheath.

Everyone listened to this strange voice, but didn't react for a while.But then they heard a soft cry, and then saw the boy who stretched out his hand first suddenly retracted his hand, and then covered his hand with a painful expression on his face.

"What's the matter?" Someone just asked, when suddenly the person in front of him who had just closed his eyes and fell asleep opened his eyes.Immediately afterwards, before he could react, he felt a pain in his hand, and then retracted his hand to cover it, with a look of pain on his face... At this time, he didn't need the boy to explain, he also understood, it turned out that the boy was hit by someone with a scabbard I touched my hand, but it hurts!

This movement seemed to be a signal, and people who were lying down and sleeping just now jumped up one after another.

The refugees who reacted turned around and ran away.There are also those who are too old to run away like the old people, and immediately kneel down and beg for mercy.But there are also those who are bold enough to simply do nothing, relying on the number of people shouting slogans, they will fight with the guards...

The scene became chaotic for a while.The guards originally kept their hands, but later found that these refugees were holding up stones and waving at their heads, obviously intending to kill them.So they put away their pity one after another and drew their swords to fight.

This was a scuffle that no one expected. At first, the guards only thought that the refugees were here to steal things, but then it suddenly developed into a fight.But in the end, the development of things still exceeded everyone's expectations.Because in this chaos, the first smear of blood that bloomed was actually from Wen Fei's hands.

The author has something to say: PS: Time will be faster after separation, and time will jump from the next chapter
