Yin Xiu and Hai Dongqing moved forward side by side, pushing down the hats on their heads. They quickened their pace at this time, trying to catch up with the team that had gone far ahead. Just when they saw the team, there was an angry shout from behind Yin Xiu. "stop!" Yin Xiu and Hai Dongqing turned a deaf ear and did not stop, but just walked forward. Until the voice shouted again, "It's you, the tall and the short." Seeing that he could not get through, Yin Xiucai secretly signaled Hai Dongqing to stop. The two of them still faced the direction of the sound and did not turn their heads. Yin Xiu was quite surprised. Although he walked briskly along the way, chasing the team in front, he did not neglect to observe the environment. However, these two people did appear quietly behind them, coming and going without a trace. trace. "Ho..." Hai Dongqing exhaled a white breath, turned his eyes to the left, squinted, and then turned to the right again, asking Yin Xiu if he wanted to take action and kill these two people.
"Do you think I'm a natural-born killer?" Yin Xiu rolled his eyes. The large army was right in front of him. No matter how fast he acted, he probably wouldn't be able to do it silently and not be noticed. And judging from their footsteps, the two men behind them didn't seem to be as weak as the previous soldiers, perhaps a little stronger. So Yin Xiu signaled her not to worry, and then slowly turned her head. Sure enough, the two men were dressed differently from ordinary soldiers. They wore black mandarin jackets, carried scimitars, and carried muskets on their backs. They don't have a big word "pawn" on their chests, and they look like they have an official position like corps commander or second lieutenant. "Yes, I'm talking about you two." One of the corps commanders came up, glanced at Yin Xiu, who was still "muddled", and asked him roughly: "Password!" [Password? 】 Hai Dongqing couldn't help but tighten his heart. They didn't know what the password was. They just put on a random set of clothes and got in. When they were asked like this, they were immediately stumped. So Hai Dongqing shook his sleeves, secretly held the short knife in his hand, and prepared to take action. "It takes so long to drain the water. Did you encounter something weird?" The corps leader who led the troops put one hand on the knife and glanced suspiciously at the faces of Yin Xiu and Hai Dongqing. However, Yin Xiu very calmly repeated the words of the corps leader, "Are you talking about the password?" The corps commander sighed. He had seen too many soldiers with weak minds and ears recently. These people may not be smart in the first place. They have experienced continuous hard battles after entering the mountains, and they are even more unresponsive. He could only repeat, "Yes, the password!" After hearing this, Yin Xiu immediately said loudly: "Nobita, when did you run in? Yes, I love you too. A dog bit me last time. Fortunately, I had a runny nose. I haven't introduced him yet. This is my evil dog Bo Zai... …” "Okay, okay, it's all a mess." The Wu Commander glared at Yin Xiu and asked Hai Dongqing: "What about you, the code?"
"In addition to passwords, there are also secret codes!?" Hai Dongqing's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it for a moment. However, Yin Xiu pinched her secretly again, pulling her back from her doubts and trance at the right time. So Hai Dongqing also imitated Yin Xiu's example and said loudly: "The earth shakes the mountains, and the mountains and rivers flow through the ages..." Ah Qiu! Yin Xiu sneezed deliberately and spit out a lot of saliva. The two corps commanders were so shocked that they took a few steps back, covered the air with their sleeves, and waved their hands. "Are you looking for death?" Yin Xiu took advantage of this moment and reminded Hai Dongqing in a low voice: "What you just read was the joint code of the Tiandihui!" "I thought anything would be fine." Hai Dongqing also reacted at this time and broke into a cold sweat. "No matter how outrageous you are, you still have to have some restraint. Just say a few words about whether golden scales are like an object in a pond, or you can turn into a dragon when the storm strikes!" "Then what was that big pass you just recited!?" Before Yin Xiu could refute, the two corps commanders came forward again and stared at Hai Dongqing. "Boy, I just said a secret code. What is your secret code? I didn't hear it clearly." Hai Dongqing was prepared this time, and under the urging of Yin Xiu's eyes, she spoke slowly. "A lama came from the south, carrying five kilograms of Tama in his hand. A mute came from the north, with a trumpet on his waist. The lama from the south, carrying a Tama, wanted to exchange the Tama for the mute in the north who didn't have a trumpet. The trumpet, north..." "Stop, stop, stop!" The two corps commanders stopped her almost at the same time, "Stop! It's all nonsense, I haven't heard it before, the lama is mute, it's like a tongue twister. Wait, was it a tongue twister you just read?" One of the corps commanders has gently pushed the knife out an inch. However, Hai Dongqing said calmly: "If it is a tongue twister, how could I pronounce it so smoothly?" "It seems so." As he spoke, the two team captains glanced at them with strange expressions, then turned around to discuss together. "The things they said seemed to have nothing to do with the passwords or code words. They seemed to be made up casually, and they seemed to have been recited somewhere to frustrate us." "It seems to me that I made it up casually, but do you remember the specific password and code?" "Who do you think I am? Who can remember such a long list? You know we never talk about these things. We recognize clothes but not people." "If that's the case, and they spoke so smoothly and surely without even thinking about it, maybe they didn't lie?" "I feel the same way." So the two corps commanders turned their heads again and glared at Yin Xiu and Hai Dongqing: "Hold it for me from now on. If you can't hold it in, you will shit your pants. If you fall behind without permission, it will affect our meeting with Prince Su. Be careful. Take your heads off!"
"Yes!" Yin Xiu and Hai Dongqing turned around and trotted towards the team. Hai Dongqing finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his face. "What was that thing you were carrying just now?" she asked. "It's just a line from "Water Tiger"." Yin Xiu grinned, "I just recited it casually, what about you? When did you learn a set of tongue twisters?" "These are a few words that children in Liaodong can recite." Hai Dongqing also smiled, "When I was a child, those artists who walked around the streets would not come to our village because they thought it was too far and too poor, so In the new year, during the first and second grades of junior high school, we would run a long way to the town to listen to the entertainers performing. Naturally, we have no money, we can’t afford to buy anything, and our children can’t be useful and are noisy. Often the artists would be coaxed away halfway through the show so that we wouldn't watch. So I didn't even watch the fire breathing, magic tricks, etc. I just remembered this tongue twister. " "That's really fun." "It's interesting, but it's also really poor. It's so poor that even children know that they are poor, so they don't dare to hope for anything." "Hey, so some people are poor in childhood, and inevitably have some shortcomings when they grow up, so they have to double up to make up for it." "Are you talking about yourself?" Hai Dongqing glanced at him. "I?" Yin Xiu was a little in disbelief, "What did I lack in my childhood that I have to make up for now?" "I suspect you grew up drinking milk powder, otherwise why would you always stare at Ma Xiaoyu lustfully..." Hai Dongqing couldn't speak any more, so he just made a lifting motion with his hands in front of his chest. "Who do you think I am?" When Yin Xiu was about to retort, the two of them were gradually getting closer to the team. Behind them, the two captains seemed to have no intention of following them. They should be collecting the scattered soldiers at the end. Approaching the team, Yin Xiu also gradually smelled the strong smell of blood and herbs. It seemed that many of the soldiers in this group were injured, as if they had experienced a hard battle. Yin Xiu and his companions joined the team without arousing anyone's suspicion. The two soldiers walking in front of them didn't even have the interest to look back at them. They just walked in silence with their heads down. The morale of this team was low and everyone was tired. It seemed that they had suffered a defeat and were about to go to a designated place to regroup. However, combined with the appearance of each other when they met Tuoba Wenwu before, it can only be said that maybe this fierce battle consumed too much strength from both sides, so that both sides looked like the defeated side. There was no winner, or who was the winner? Big advantage. Perhaps sometimes war is so cruel. Those on the front line are exhausted when facing death and fear. Even if they win, they are still haunted by nightmares and have no joy at all. However, the winner is the one who sits in the tent with a feather fan and silk scarf and plays the crown to celebrate.
Yin Xiu and Hai Dongqing followed the silent team forward on various rugged and narrow passages and paths. It seems that the Ouchi masters at the sticky pole move quickly and have great supernatural powers. They have used command flags and markers to determine the direction and position on the road they must pass, so that each team can accurately know where they are and where they are heading. Where to go. After walking like this for more than two hours, Yin Xiu's army merged with another group of soldiers who also seemed to be dejected. The number of soldiers doubled, which also made the noise on the road louder and louder. Hai Dongqing felt every step on her heart, which made her nervous. However, in this situation, she could not speak, because Yin Xiu and she were walking in the middle of the team. There were people in front, behind, and on the left and right. Everyone just moved forward in silence, occasionally letting out a few groans, and nothing else. If they made a sound, they would be immediately noticed by the surrounding soldiers. So Hai Dongqing once again tried to communicate with Yin Xiu with his eyes, tapping his eyes up and down twice, then turned half a circle to the left, and secretly glanced in the direction of the leader, and finally threw a look at Yin Xiu. The questioning look indicates that this is a question. "..." Yin Xiu just rolled the whites of her eyes to the sky in response to Hai Dongqing's complicated and complicated question. Just when Hai Dongqing tried to continue asking questions with his eyes, a sharp buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the darkness. Hai Dongqing was very familiar with this sound. It was the special sound made by the arrow feathers rubbing against the air when the arrow was flying in the air. She immediately grabbed Yin Xiu, and the next second, dozens of arrows penetrated the darkness and fell into the soldiers. It's the White Lotus Sect that's attacking! After realizing this, there were screams one after another in the ranks of the soldiers. Many people were hit by arrows and died, or they were lying there, screaming and moaning. The rest were cries of terror and the sound of muskets being removed and the triggers pulled. Then, under the scolding of their superiors, the soldiers raised their guns and pulled the triggers at the enemy who was hiding in the darkness. The sound of explosive gunpowder tortured everyone's ears, and the smoke obscured their sight. The other party may have fled collectively at this time, or may have hid behind a bunker. So after one round of firing, except for the sound of some pebbles breaking and sparks bursting out in the darkness opposite, it didn't seem to hit anyone. However, no one cares about the situation or whether they actually hit the enemy. They just loaded and fired continuously, using thunderous sounds and flashes of fire to cover up the fear in their hearts. At this time, the leading officer had asked everyone to extinguish the light sources and not to reveal their positions. However, the flickering light of the gun when it fires has become the best indicator, as bright as a firefly on a summer night. So not long after, the second round of arrows came down with a roar, like a heavy rain. Several more soldiers were hit by arrows, screamed and fell to the ground, struggling and squirming, and gradually stopped moving. Yin Xiu stretched out his hand and broke off the arrow that was shot at Haidong Qing's face. Then he turned around and kicked the other arrow down in the air. Then he took Hai Dongqing and ran to the back of the team. At this time, everyone was either fighting back or looking for cover, and few people noticed their actions. So after running out for a few steps, Yin Xiu and Hai Dongqing slipped into the back of a ravine made of stones. Almost as soon as they lay down, several more feather arrows passed over their heads and landed on the rocks, breaking into pieces of wood.
"Is it the White Lotus Sect?" Hai Dongqing was still not sure. "Who else besides the White Lotus Sect?" Yin Xiu was very sure, "Nowadays, even the heroes of the forest are trying to get two guns, and only the White Lotus Sect still uses bows and arrows. But they could shoot very accurately and from a long distance, which was much easier to use than the fire sticks in the hands of the officers and soldiers. " "I have always believed that bows and arrows are stronger than muskets." Hai Dongqing affirmed. When they were about to speak, there was suddenly a rubbing sound above Yin Xiu's head, and then a soldier fell from the stone and hit the ground heavily on his head on the ground in front of Yin Xiu. Yin Xiu and Hai Dongqing were startled and stared at him. After a while, the soldier seemed to be alive. He touched his neck and sat up, letting out a long breath. Seeing his colleagues, he felt even more relieved. He showed two yellow teeth in his mouth and smiled. "Hey, I almost thought I was going to die here. This can't be done. I haven't had enough fun with the ladies in Liaodong." As soon as he finished speaking, Hai Dongqing turned his palm and stabbed the soldier's neck with a dagger. (End of chapter)
