Will Ming

He entrusted Zhang Zhongjian and Daxi Changru to take care of everything in the cottage, while he and Luo Fu and others prepared to go to Liaodong.Only Li Xian knew the exact time when Da Sui started the war against Goguryeo, so he was still rich and didn't need to hurry.Therefore, there is no need to prepare one person and two riders. It is planned to arrive at the Liaoshui River ahead of the imperial army before starting after the new year.Li Xian planned to cross the river first and wait, otherwise it would be difficult to cross the river once all the troops from the imperial court arrived.

He planned to cross the Liao River from Yan County, and then find a suitable place to hide on the east bank of the Liao River, waiting for the various armies of the Sui Dynasty to arrive.The first battle of the Great Sui’s conquest of Liaodong was extremely tragic. The Goguryeo general Ulji Wende deployed 20 troops on the east bank of the Liao River. The Great Sui lost the old general Mai Tiezhang on the first day of the battle. This has to be said It is an extremely unfavorable start.

On New Year's Eve, Li Xian brought a bow, arrow and straight knife out of the cottage, and was going to hunt some wild game with Chen Que'er, Luo Fu and others to fill in some delicacies for the New Year's Eve dinner.Xiao Di and Ou Siqingqing also followed, and a group of more than ten people left the camp and walked deep into the woods.

Along the way, Xiao Di took Osi Qingqing's hand and bounced happily like a deer. The two beauties, one big and one small, added a lot of vigor and vitality to the somewhat chilling forest in the severe winter.Xiao Di spends all day learning medical skills beside the old man Xu Zhizang, and it is almost the same as Li Xian's assiduousness.As a girl who is only 11 years old, she can have such perseverance is really admirable.Li Xian was afraid that she would be exhausted, so he specifically told Xu Zhizang to take her out for a day of fun.

It snowed heavily the night before yesterday, and the snowy mountains and forests reminded Li Xian of when he first met Ou Siqingqing.It's just that there are many more people to accompany, and the cute snow sculpture, Xiao Huihui, is missing.

Xiao Di's happiness is still very simple, a hare stuck in the snow and unable to pull out its legs will make her happy for a long time.There are many wild animals on Yanshan Mountain, and after the snow falls, it is very beneficial for hunting.The surroundings were all silvery white, even if a hare escaped from a hundred meters away, it would not be able to hide from everyone's eyes.

"Brother An! Come on, help me catch that rabbit!"

Xiao Di pointed at the fat and clumsy rabbit in the distance and yelled, jumping and urging Li Xian to go quickly.Li Xian was too lazy to draw the bow and set the arrow. He arrogantly picked up a fist-sized stone and weighed it in his hand.The stone drew a beautiful arc in mid-air, and then deviated in a normal way.The frightened rabbit froze in place at first, then ran out into the distance.

"Brother Anzhi is so stupid!"

Xiao Di said disappointedly.

Li Xian smiled and said: "Don't worry, I promise to catch you back."

He handed the black straight knife to Chen Que'er, with a short body and a sudden force on his feet, he rushed out like a cheetah.As he raced across the snow, the snow froth he stepped on shone brightly in the sun.The snow more than one foot thick can trap the hare's four legs, but when Li Xian was running, he was as light as a snake swimming on the tip of the grass. I don't know how he did it, except that he exploded at the beginning. After the impact force smashed the residual snow all over the ground, his feet did not leave too deep marks on the snow while running.

After catching up with the hare on foot, Li Xian bent down and grabbed the rabbit's ears in a very cool way, then he lifted it up and waved it to the crowd in the distance. The rabbit looked at him innocently and let out a few sounds like a baby crying. scream.Li Xian flicked the hare's forehead with his fingers, and said to himself: "What's the noise, I'll have a pot of stewed meat from you for the New Year's Eve dinner tonight!"

As if the rabbit understood what he said, it pedaled desperately on its hind legs.

As he was walking back, Li Xian suddenly felt something shake his eyes.

Li Xian is very familiar with this kind of flash, he knows that it is the cold light of the blade shining in the sun.He subconsciously touched the straight knife at his waist, only to find that the knife was in Chen Que'er's hand a hundred meters away.Holding the hare, Li Xian turned around and looked sideways.

On the ground tens of meters away, something is reflecting the sun's rays.

Li Xian gestured to the people in the distance, and then walked there first.After walking more than ten steps, I gradually saw that there was a person crouching in the snow, motionless.Perhaps that person completely lost control when he fell down, and his body was almost buried in the snow.So Li Xian didn't see the man until he got closer, and saw the horizontal knife thrown aside.

woman?

Li Xian frowned, and threw the hare aside.

The rabbit that narrowly escaped from death kicked its hind legs and fled as if it was dying, without even looking back.Li Xian touched the dagger in the deerskin bag, and walked slowly to the man.It was a woman, not very tall, and the clothes on her back were soaked in blood, and there was a knife wound on her back, which was deep, but it didn't seem to hurt the bones.It's just that the incision is too big, and the blood is still oozing out without freezing, which shows that it hasn't been long since the woman fell here.

Li Xian found that the woman's back was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

After confirming that the woman was incapable of hurting others, Li Xian squatted down beside her.Stretching out his hand to probe her neck, he could feel a faint beating.Li Xian first took out the golden sore medicine from the deerskin pouch and poured it on the woman's back, then picked her up and turned her over.

is her! ?

When he saw the woman's face clearly, Li Xian froze for a moment, then frowned.

No Luan

It was the woman who stabbed herself twice.

Li Xian tore off the clothes on Wuluan's back, found some medicine powder and poured it on, and tore off a piece of clothes to bandage the wound.Then he untied the water bag from his waist and slowly poured some into her mouth.

After entering the cold water, Wuluan coughed a few times and woke up faintly.Her brows were furrowed tightly, the corners of her mouth moved a few times and she slowly opened her eyes.Only then did she open her eyes, and she couldn't see anything clearly in a vast expanse of whiteness. She just vaguely felt as if she was being held in someone's arms.After getting used to it for a while, her vision gradually became clearer.When she saw clearly that it was Li Xian who was holding her, she struggled subconsciously and pulled the wound, she couldn't help moaning in pain.

"If you don't want to die, just be honest."

Li Xian said coldly while bandaging the wound.

Wuluan struggled for a while, suddenly remembered something, grabbed Li Xian's hand, and said almost beggingly: "Please, save Miss!"

Li Xian was startled: "Miss? Ashina Duoduo or Ye Huaishu?"

Wu Luan said anxiously: "Yes...Miss Dodo, Luo Yi sent people to hunt us down, the miss fled to the forest ahead, Luo Yi's men had already chased... caught up, please, please! Help Miss!"

Li Xian didn't move, but seriously bandaged the wound and asked, "Tell me first, why Luo Yi sent people to hunt you down. If you don't know, I won't take action."

Wuluan's eyes changed, and then he glanced at Li Xian angrily: "I know you hate me, as long as you save Miss, you can do whatever you want to do with me, kill...you can do whatever you want! I I just beg you, save my young lady."

Li Xian shook his head: "I hate what you are doing. If you have the strength, you might as well say what you have to say. How many people Luo Yi sent and how long have they been there?"

While talking, Li Xian looked at the number of footprints.

"Ye Huaishu...forced the young lady to marry Luo Yi's son, but the young lady refused. Luo Yi wanted to detain the young lady and force Khan to send troops. We... escaped from Youzhou, and more than a dozen people chased us down."

Wu Luan panted and said.

Li Xian let go, Wu Luan fell to the ground, she frowned tightly in pain, seeing Li Xian's cold gaze, her pale face became even more bloodless.

"Tell me the truth, or don't expect me to make a move."

"At least fifty people, all of whom are... masters."

Li Xian glanced back at Chen Que'er and the others who were walking beside him, pointed to Wu Luan and said, "Brother Xiaoniao, take Qingqing Xiaodi and this crazy woman back first. I'll go and have a look."

"No!"

Wu Luan struggled to stand up, looked at Li Xian firmly, "Take me!"

Li Xian frowned and said, "Can you run?"

Wuluan said stubbornly: "Give me... another sip of water, you won't leave me behind!"

Li Xian passed the water bag over with a blank expression: "Run again, you will bleed to death."

Wu Luan took a sip of water, and slowly shook his head: "If I don't see Miss, I can't die! Besides, Miss and I ran separately, and I planned to... lure away the pursuers, but they were not fooled. .If the lady hides...Only I, only I know the code."

Li Xian said: "You can tell me."

Wu Luan shook his head and said firmly, "No, take me with you."

……

……

In the dense forest, Ashina Duoduo cut off the feather arrow on his shoulder with a knife, and then tore off his clothes to cover the wound.She turned her head and looked into the distance, and there was a faint figure chasing after her.

No Luan

Ashina Duoduo took a deep breath, and said in her heart: Wuluan, are you still alive?

A few mastiff roars were heard in the distance, Ashina Duoduo's expression changed, she stood up and continued running towards the depths of the dense forest, she seemed to be exerting all her strength, her feet were as heavy as lead .The barking of the dog from behind became louder and louder, and those elite scouts in white chased after him more and more.She really didn't expect that even though she escaped from Youzhou overnight, she still didn't get rid of the pursuers sent by Luo Yi.

They brought mastiffs with them, no matter how much they and Wuluan changed their route, they couldn't get rid of them.After finally reaching Yanshan Mountain, they were about to enter the grassland, and Luo Yi's scout team finally caught up with them.In order to let himself escape, Wuluan shouted and ran away in another direction, trying to lure the pursuers away.She didn't have time to stop, she wanted to run after Wu Luan, but Wu Luan turned around and shouted a word that made her stop.
