With a wave of Mao Luo's hand, the team began to shrink. The two cavalry were side by side, and Chu Huan was in the middle. , there was still a short distance from the gap between the mountains, Mao Luo stopped first, and Chu Huan saw several Xiliang soldiers emerging from the high mountain top, one of them held a command flag and beat several soldiers. At the semaphore, Mao Luo waved his hand, and a Xiliang soldier galloped out with a small flag in his hand. After returning to the semaphore, the Xiliang soldier on the mountain top played the semaphore again, and Mao Luo shook the reins of the horse and took the lead. Go to the gap between the mountains.

The team is like a sharp knife under the sky, slowly inserting into the gap between the mountains.

The stone walls on both sides of the gorge stand tall and straight, as if they were finely cut with a knife, and they are very smooth. If you want to climb up the mountain from the two stone walls, no matter how skilled you are, there is no possibility.

This gorge is really very narrow, no wonder Mao Luo let his men ride two horses side by side, this gorge can only barely allow two horses to pass in parallel, the squeezing feeling of the stone walls on both sides can even make people feel extremely strong Depression comes.

Chu Huan raised his head and looked up. There was only one line of sky, which was blue and bright. The rocks in the gorge were all dark and shiny. Although the sun was high in the sky, this gorge was so deep that the sunlight could not reach the bottom at all. , looked very dim, and Chu Huan didn't know how long the gorge was. When she looked up at the line of sky, her face quickly showed surprise.

At this time, he had already seen that there was a huge boulder hanging on the mountain wall not far in front of him. The boulder was clinging to the stone wall. It is bound to be blocked to death. At this time, Chu Huan really understands what it means to be one man and ten thousand men.

After walking for a while, I walked out of the narrow gorge. The front suddenly opened up, and the volume was still hills. After walking for an hour, Xingxing Gorge was completely left behind.

The sun was shining brightly, without the blazing heat in the desert, but it was a bit cold afterward. After walking for a long time, I finally saw pedestrians, all of whom were dressed as ordinary shepherds. Wherever we passed, we could occasionally see a few scattered tents and traces of people. , but still very rare.

After another half an hour, the greenery gradually appeared in front of it, and the breeze was blowing.

Felt tents also gradually increased. In addition to the herdsmen herding horses, there were herds of cattle and sheep. The cattle and sheep were black and white, just like the clouds in the sky dotted the gradually revealed grassland.

Mao Luo slowed down the speed of the horse, turned the horse's head around, came to the side of Chu Huan and the others, and said calmly: "I hope you can give the patriarch an explanation, otherwise if you are really spies, you already know the headquarters of my Zhuoyan tribe. It's fate to come and go!" Without saying much, he patted his horse and galloped, and rushed to a high slope in front of him first, and the team also dispersed, escorting Chu Huan and three people up the high slope, and when they reached the high slope Above, Chu Huan looked down from the hillside, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

Below the hillside, there are felt tents that stretch for more than ten miles, densely packed, and the endless grassland has no boundaries. Back, gallop back and forth.

Chu Huan can even see that there is a hill in front of the grassland on the left, and a lake in front of the right. Going down from the hillside, the lake is shaped like a moon and has a huge area. You can't see the end for a while, but you can see the shape of the lake. Like the moon, I think it is Moon Lake.

The headquarters of the Zhuoyan Department is by the Moon Lake.

The densely packed yurts showed that at least thousands of people lived here, and there was one yurt that stood out from the crowd. It was very large and covered with cowhide. There was a golden spire on the top of the yurt. Under the sun, the spire was very impressive. Dazzling, exuding golden light, in front of the golden felt tent, there was a big white haired yak, Chu Huan only felt that there was no problem in accommodating a hundred people in the felt tent.

Surrounding the camp, trenches were dug, fences were lined up, and the fences were even covered with antler pickets, which were undoubtedly used to guard against enemy attacks. The entire Zhuoyan camp was surrounded by a circle of fences. Several entrances are guarded by Xiliang soldiers. A few miles away from the camp, there are small groups of Xiliang cavalry patrolling, fully armed and very cautious.

Mao Luo had already led the people down the hillside and went to the camp. There was still a distance before a group of cavalry came galloping. Mao Luo patted his horse forward and said a few words. People, without saying much, flattered the horse and left.

Arriving at an entrance, the guards crossed their swords, Mao Luo took out a signboard, the soldier nodded when he saw it, but Mao Luo turned around and said, "Wait!" He patted his horse and entered the camp alone.

On the hillside, you can see the whole picture of the camp, but when you get to the gate, you can only see the densely packed felt tents, layer upon layer, and you can’t see where Mao Luo is going. After waiting for a long time, Then he saw Mao Luo leading a group of people, there were as many as five or six people, and they were all fully armed. Mao Luo came out, pointed at Chu Huan and said, "That's them!"

There was also a centurion in the following team, nodding his head, Mao Luo just waved his hand, and actually led the group of Xiliang soldiers back the same way, it seemed that they wanted to return to Zhuoyan Stone Forest.

The centurion ordered the soldiers to help the three of them off their horses, and the soldiers also dismounted and escorted the three of them. They followed the centurion into the camp and walked along the felt tent for a while. The Xiliang herdsmen in the camp saw the three of them tied up. Entering the camp, I saw that Chu Huan and Meiniang were from Qin, and they were whispering. After walking for a while, the centurion ordered the soldiers to take Chu Huan and Meiniang to a nearby camp, but only let Qiluo follow him. However, Qi Luo was not afraid, but told the Xiliang people: "Don't neglect the two of them, otherwise you will not be guilty!"

At this time, her hands were tied and she was a prisoner, but she didn't have the consciousness to become a prisoner at all.

The centurion ignored them and took Qi Luo away. Other soldiers brought Chu Huan and Chu Huan into the felt tent, and then guarded outside without talking to Chu Huan and them.

Chu Huan and Mei Niang entered the tent, their hands were still tied, and saw that the felt tent was very rough, but a piece of animal skin was spread on the ground, Chu Huan was safe when he came, walked over and sat down, However, Mei Niang glanced at him, distanced herself from him, and sat on the other side of the animal skin, with her back to Chu Huan.

Chu Huan was amused in his heart. He vaguely heard the vague laughter and laughter from outside the camp, and even heard the bleating of cattle and sheep from afar. The sound of the sheep came to Chu Huan's ears, but Chu Huan felt a sense of tranquility. He was lying on the animal skin with his eyes closed, and his expression looked quite relaxed.

Mei Niang glanced at him, bit her red lips, did not speak, turned her head away.

There was silence in the felt tent, and after a while, Chu Huan said, "Why don't you talk? It doesn't seem like your character anymore."

"What are you talking about?" Chu Huan broke the silence, and Meiniang immediately said angrily, "In your eyes, I am a thief. Officials and thieves are not at odds, and you and I are also at odds. What can we say?"

Chu Huan opened his eyes, glanced at her, pondered for a while, and finally said: "In this case, you just abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and I will guarantee you nothing will happen!"

"Abandon the darkness and turn to the light?" Meiniang sneered, "Who is the light and who is the darkness? In your heart, the fool is the light, but in my heart, the fool is the darkness." Glancing at Chu Huan, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said : "Why don't you go with Meiniang and take refuge in my Qingtian King, Meiniang, the Marquis position, can be given to you!"

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Do you think it's possible?"

"Why is it impossible?" Meiniang seemed to be interested, "Meiniang sees that you have some talents. Following Qingtian King, Qingtian King will definitely use you generously. Qingtian King is a great hero who selects talents. Your talent will never be buried under Qingtian King's command."

"After following King Qingtian, what will you do next?" Chu Huan asked.

Meiniang immediately said: "Get rid of the faint king, kill all the officials, save the people, and establish a peaceful and prosperous world!"

"You mean to say that by killing the emperor and all civil and military officials, the world can be brought to peace?" Chu Huan sighed, "Meiniang, is this what Qingtian King taught you?"

Mei Niang heard that there was a bit of irony in Chu Huan's tone, and she couldn't help but sneered and said: "Does such a truth need to be taught? If the faint king and corrupt officials are not eliminated, the people will never live a good life. The only way to kill them is to kill them." death, the common people can live a peaceful life again."

Chu Huan lay on the animal skin, but looked at Meiniang, and asked, "Meiniang, are you rebelling against the imperial court for the sake of the people? Or is it because of your hatred for Qin officials?"

Meiniang gritted her teeth and said, "All of them. You are an official of the imperial court, so naturally you don't know the sufferings of the people. Do you know what kind of life the people of Hebei Province live? The faint king builds Taoist temples in Hebei Road's practice palace, builds a large number of construction projects, and spends ten days at every turn. Thousands and hundreds of thousands of civilian husbands were recruited, day and night, how many people were exhausted because of this, and how many people were beaten to death, do you know? Years of taxation, natural disasters and persecution, how many people have no clothes, no food, Selling children and selling girls, begging everywhere, and being turned into refugees, those corrupt officials sent officers and soldiers to kill them at every turn... There are also palaces built in the capital, and Tongtian Temple built. They were transported to the capital, and how many people died along the way, do you know?" Meiniang became more and more angry, her pretty face was full of anger: "Officials, there are snakes and rats, but there are people who don't like it , They tried their best to make the family ruined, the people respected him as the emperor, and used the taxes to support the corrupt officials, but they didn't care about the people's life and death, and regarded the people as pigs and dogs... No, even pigs and dogs are worse. What are you keeping for?"

Chu Huan listened quietly, Mei Niang was filled with anger at this moment, her breathing was short, her plump breasts rose and fell, it was a sight to behold.

"So you rose up and rebelled against the imperial court under the banner of doing justice for the heavens and saving the people?" Chu Huan asked expressionlessly.

Mei Niang raised her eyebrows tightly, "What is a banner? This is the ideal of King Qingtian and us. We want to do justice for the sky and save the people of Liming."

Chu Huan said slowly: "In the Great Qin Empire, the Ying family is orthodox. Although some people are dissatisfied, the gentry and nobles all regard the Ying family as orthodox. Banner, King Qingtian is reckless, do you really think that you can fight against the imperial court just by pulling a group of mobs by King Qingtian? Where do you get your money, food, knives and guns? Where can I get it?"

Mei Niang sneered and said, "There are so many corrupt officials, businessmen, and evil gentry as a cow's hair, our family can naturally get inexhaustible!"

"That's robbing." Chu Huan sighed: "It is undeniable that there are good and bad officials in the world. There are indeed many officials who can be killed, and there are indeed uneven businessmen and gentry. Officials are all evil officials, and businessmen all over the world are traitors, so it is a big mistake. I have heard that King Qingtian gathered mobs in Daoxiao, Hebei Province, killed officials and robbed riches, but I want to ask, what did you kill? Are all the officials you call corrupt officials? The merchants and gentry you robbed are all greedy and evil people?"
