……

The three of them passed through the dense forest, and saw a small black dot appearing in the sky of hundreds of feet, circling three times above their heads, and flapping their wings away.

Bai Fu said: "Could it be the falcon of the Yan army again?"

Iron Hammer said: "Probably not. According to the map, it is about [-] miles away from Savage Valley, and it is within Costin's investigation range.

Eagle-eyed falcons are extremely fierce. As long as they see enemy falcons, they will kill or drive them away. "

The three continued on their way, and half an hour later, they heard the rustling of leaves in the dense forest, and a fierce tiger appeared in front of the three without a sound.

The lone wolf was about to kill him, but he pulled him back with a hammer, and said with a smile, "It's our brother!"

Before the words were finished, the tiger lifted its head, revealing a smiling face—it was Lynx.

The three were overjoyed and embraced warmly with a "tiger".

Lynx laughed and said, "The eagle-eyed Hai Dongqing spotted you and sent me to help you."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lynx said: "You go first, I will set up some traps behind you, if there are enemies following, it will be bad luck for him."

……

After going through many hardships and dangers, Bai Fu and the three finally returned to Eagle Castle.

Xiucai and Hawkeye took out the Jinchuang medicine, changed the medicine for the three of them, and re-bandaged the wound.Luo Tuoer commanded the captives of the Yan army to boil water and soup for the three of them.Lynx himself cooks, selects the freshest wild mushrooms, venison, deer meat and other ingredients, and cooks a table full of fragrant wine and dishes.

After the three of Bai Fu washed up, they ate heartily and swept away the delicious food on the table.

Iron Hammer burped, holding the roe deer's leg in his left hand, and the wine bowl in his right, while gnawing, "I said, Lynx, your skills have improved a lot, and your level is almost catching up to mine.

When the world is peaceful in the future, don't sell your animal skins and bones.Why don't you choose a good shop in Tianjin Bridge with me, and open a restaurant together, specializing in game dishes.

The safekeeping made the dignitaries and dignitaries in Luoyang happy, and we made a lot of money. "

Iron Hammer talked about the experience of this trip vividly, and everyone was hooked.When it came to the crucial point, everyone was terrified, even if they knew that the three of them had returned safely, they were still in a cold sweat.

Luo Tuoer filled Bai Fu's wine and said, "Little Bailong, it's fortunate that you are going with the hammer class. If I go with you, not only will I not be able to help, but I'm afraid I will also hurt the hammer class."

Seeing that there was no wine in Luo Tuo'er's bowl, Bai Fu said, "Cuo Tuo'er, don't you want a bowl?"

Luo Tuoer licked his lips, and said embarrassedly: "We are on duty today, according to the rules set by the hammer class, it is a great thing, and we are not allowed to drink while on duty."

After finishing speaking, he poured himself a bowl of herbal tea and touched Bai Fu's wine bowl.The two should be like wine, and they drank it all in one gulp.

Hawkeye said: "A few days ago, the Yan army mobilized troops from all walks of life, as many as ten thousand people. We thought they were going to raise troops, but we didn't expect that it was for the purpose of setting up defenses and arresting you.

Old wolf, we have received pigeon letters from two scouts, your family has arrived in Tangjing safely, don't worry. "After that, he patted Lone Wolf on the shoulder.

Lone Wolf was moved, stood up to toast, and said: "For the sake of my subordinates, I put you brothers in danger, almost costing the lives of several brothers, it is really..."

Iron Hammer waved his hand, told Lone Wolf to sit down, and said, "Old Wolf, a family doesn't talk about two families. Your family is also our family. Could it be that we knew the enemy was going to attack, but we still watched them die under the knife and axe?" Down?
Not to mention me and Xiaobailong, even if the other brothers were here, they would do it with all their might.Then again, since he was wearing a military uniform, he would have put life and death aside.

In the future, I will stop thanking you for this matter.Of us Lone Eagles, who hasn't saved someone's life?When it comes to gratitude, I have been rescued the most times, and I have to kowtow and kneel one by one. "

After all, Hammer put his fingers on the table in a kowtow gesture.

Everyone laughed.

Lynx said: "That's right, old wolf, among the few of us, there are not many brothers who have family members, and we still envy you.

If my family should fall into the hands of the enemy, I would do my best to get them back.If you can't save them, you can die with them! "

The scholar's eyes turned red, he picked up the huqin, walked to the crenel of Eagle Fort, leaned against the crenelated wall, and pulled it up creakingly.I don't know whether to hum or sing:
"How happy is life, why bother to die..."

……

When no one was around in the middle of the night, Bai Fu secretly asked about the situation of the scholar.

The iron hammer was leaning on the pile of hay, biting the stem of the grass, sighed, and said: "Scholars originally came to Beijing to rush for the exam.

That year when An Lushan rebelled, the Yan army invaded Luoyang and slaughtered the scholar's family and his father-in-law's family.Xiucai's fiancée couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide with scissors, so she left the Huqin for Xiucai.

In a rage, the scholar threw his pen into the army.

Guo Dashuai saw the scholar's literary and military strategy, and wanted the scholar to be a marching commander and a military counselor.

Xiucai refused on the spot and asked to be transferred to the most dangerous scout battalion in the Shuofang Army.It is said that it is to be able to go to the battlefield in person and kill the enemy general with his hands.

In fact, the real reason is that Xiucai didn't want to live at all, and wanted to get rid of it sooner.

So every time he went to the battlefield, no matter how many troops the enemy had, he would always rush to the front like a mad tiger.It made me have to let the camel follow him closely. At the critical moment, I had to go up and roll up my sleeves to drag him back. "

Bai Fu suddenly realized, and said: "No wonder the scholar has been ignoring the old wolf before."

Iron Hammer nodded and said, "That's right. Although this matter has nothing to do with Lao Lang, after all, Lao Lang was also in the Anlu Mountain camp at the time. Even if there is no grudge, it still looks awkward."

Bai Fu continued to ask: "Chuiban, I've always wanted to ask you something, but I always felt that it was too late, and I was afraid that asking rashly would hurt the friendship of the brothers."

The hammer class made a grimace, and said: "You scholars are full of thoughts. After entering the Lone Eagle, everyone is a brother who changes life and death. Even if you don't like to listen to what you say, how can you hurt your friendship?

If you have something to say quickly, hold it in your heart, how unhappy. "

Bai Fu thought about his words, and said: "When I was practicing martial arts in Bashu, the elders told me the story of Wu Huan Hua. If they say they are not of my race, their hearts must be different.

Repeatedly warned me that Hu people are not trustworthy, and predicted that the emperor Laoer would let Hu generals like An Lushan take charge of the army, and sooner or later the world would be in chaos.

After less than ten years, he was indeed convinced by these elders.An Lushan and Shi Siming rebelled one after another, making the world miserable.

I just want to ask, why do you dare to use so many barbarians as scouts when you formed the Lone Eagle Squad? "

Iron Hammer pondered for a moment, then said, "I really haven't thought about this question.

I used to follow General Gao Xianzhi on an expedition to the Western Regions to open up territories for the Tang Dynasty.General Gao is a Korean, and he is also loyal to Datang.

In the battle of that year, if he had surrendered to Anlu Mountain, he would not have been persecuted by the eunuch Bian Lingcheng and died under the sword of the emperor Laoer.

Therefore, I am thinking that not all Hu people are people who conspire against the law and seek rebellion.

I am an old man who does not read as much as you and Xiucai, and I have never met any high-ranking officials.

We little people, no matter Hu people or Han people, actually have a very simple idea. If we can have a family, eat and clothe ourselves, support our families, respect the elderly, love our wives, and take care of our children and grandchildren, we are content. "

　On a spring night, it is advisable to chant bitterly, to burn incense and read books, and to talk to old monks to dissipate lustful thoughts.

　　Summer nights are suitable for chatting, sitting by the dry water, listening to the cold rhyme of the pine, so as to wash away the troubles.

　　In the autumn night, it is advisable to go on a grand tour, to visit fast scholars, and to talk about soldiers and swords, so as to get rid of the bleakness.

　　On winter nights, it is advisable to fight with tea, drink wine and talk about the collections of "Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", and "Jin Ping Mei", and eat bamboo meat to break the lonely censor.
