Late at night, outside Shangjing.

In the quiet grove, the sound of a fast horse trampling on the accumulated leaves came from afar. Through layers of dense forest, a little black horse appeared under the moonlight. In the open space in the forest, Zhang Li looked up and saw clearly what the horse was doing. The rider hurried up to meet the general, laughed, and said, "Why did Captain Mo arrive? Brothers are all waiting anxiously."

"Brother Lao Zhang welcomes you." The person who came was Mo Xiaochuan. He made an agreement with Zhang Li in advance, so he didn't leave the city until dark and when the city gate was about to close. At this time, he arrived earlier than Zhang Li estimated. .

"Where is there." Zhang Li smiled and went to hold the rein. The little black horse snorted unfriendlyly, so he had no choice but to let go and wink at Mo Xiaochuan.

Seeing Zhang Li's expression, Mo Xiaochuan knew that he probably hadn't achieved any results, so he got off his horse and walked side by side with him towards the members of the front team.On the way, Mo Xiaochuan had already read the letter sent by senior brother Yingying, and he knew roughly where their destination was. At a glance, those people were busy with their own things, and they rarely talked to each other. Seeing Mo Xiaochuan coming , only Feng Wan and Huang Ping came forward to greet them.

Mo Xiaochuan nodded in return, and everyone tacitly did not mention what happened on the competition stage that day.

The snow has stopped during the day, and now the clouds are gone, and when the moon is bright, everything around can be seen clearly by the moonlight.After all, Zhang Li came first and was more familiar with these people than himself. Therefore, Mo Xiaochuan asked Zhang Li to recruit everyone. At the same time, as expected, the team had already been prepared, and everyone regardless of their previous official positions. One captain, two vice-captains, and each vice-captain has 50 people in charge, so Mo Xiaochuan's management is much simpler, and he can directly command the two vice-captains.

Of course, now there is one more Zhang Li, and the title of captain, but he is only a bare-bones deputy, without a single soldier under his command, so the situation is quite special, but Zhang Li obviously doesn't care about this, he always has a smiling face The appearance of welcoming people is not the slightest bit unhappy.

Mo Xiaochuan called out the two vice-captains individually, one of them was Feng Wan, and the other was Lin Feng whom he had just met from Mo Xiaochuan's residence before leaving. He was of medium build and good-looking, but I haven't tried the skill yet, so I don't know how.However, the members of this team are carefully selected, and the expectations are not bad.

Let Lin Feng introduce the situation of his team members first. There are all kinds of people on his side, tall and short, fat and thin. The first one mentioned is two, one tall and one short. The tall one is called Dahei, and the short one is called Xiaohei. Both of them looked like they were not liked by their parents. If they ran into each other suddenly on a dark and stormy night, they would definitely scare them.

The person who came out after that was not tall, but extremely handsome, and he was full of coquettishness. If Mo Xiaochuan hadn't been glanced at dozens of times by Xia Chuyue with her winking eyes before, and his resistance was already super strong, seeing This person must be stunned for a while.In fact, Zhang Li and Feng Wan were already a little stunned watching from the sidelines.

Lin Feng looked at Mo Xiaochuan with a smile on his face, as if he was waiting for Mo Xiaochuan to make a fool of himself. Seeing that Mo Xiaochuan's expression did not change, his disappointment was fleeting. Yan, looks like a woman, but is actually a man."

As soon as these words came out, several people felt surprised, and Su Yan's speech was also very peculiar, first she spoke in a soft voice, and then suddenly turned into a rough voice, which was very frightening.

Zhang Li and Feng Wan looked at each other, both of them saw the strangeness in the other's eyes, and felt ashamed that they had lost color for a man just now.And Mo Xiaochuan's unmoving expression also convinced Lin Feng who had looked down upon him before.Afterwards, after Lin Feng introduced the people on their side, he talked about Feng Wan.

The people on Feng Wan's side are much simpler. They are all strong and handsome, and they are all selected from the Forbidden Army. Although they have no characteristics, these people are led by Feng Wan, and Feng Wan and Huang Ping They won the cooperation, if they hadn't underestimated Mo Xiaochuan that day, Mo Xiaochuan would have to go to a lot of trouble to win against them, so they should be much stronger than Lin Feng's people if they challenged them head-on.

After counting the number of people, Mo Xiaochuan discussed with Feng Wan and Lin Feng, and decided to march first, and pretend to be a caravan after reaching the border of Xiliang.If they were marching in the form of a caravan at this time, they would have to prepare carriages and goods to hide their eyes and ears. Marching with such a heavy load would definitely affect the speed.

Therefore, Mo Xiaochuan ordered to boil the pot to cook the rice. Lin Feng's subordinates are indeed quite different, and even the cooking is quite famous, not only the speed is fast, but also the taste is not bad.

After eating, Mo Xiaochuan waved his hand, and everyone got on their horses and galloped away.

Along the way, at the beginning, they walked at night, and rested in a hidden place during the day, until they reached the border of Daizhou, and then turned to normal walking. Li wanted to go to the city to take a look at whatever he wanted. In his words, he would just sleep in the wilderness all day long, and he couldn't eat anything delicious. His mouth was so pale that he wanted to swallow his own tongue.

Mo Xiaochuan knew that his alcohol addiction had relapsed.However, at this time, half of the journey has been made, and Daizhou is not far from the intersection of Xiliang, Nantang and Yan Kingdom, so it is time to go to the city to buy some goods and put on a show.Therefore, Mo Xiaochuan followed Zhang Li's wishes and ordered the team to rest outside the city, and Lin Feng led more than ten people into the city to make purchases. Of course, Zhang Li also went with him.

It was just after noon at this moment, when the sun was hot, but after the heavy snow, the weather had become very cold.Afraid of attracting attention by setting up a tent here, they found a dilapidated and uninhabited village and temporarily settled down.

Everyone lit several piles of fire and sat around to drive out the cold.

About half an hour later, before Lin Feng and Zhang Li came back, Mo Xiaochuan climbed up a remnant wall and looked in the distance, but unfortunately, the dense forest here blocked his sight, so he couldn't see anything clearly.Just when Mo Xiaochuan was about to turn back and get down, suddenly, a figure flashed away in the woods.

At first he thought it was a mistake.After staring at it carefully, I always feel that something is wrong.So they sent a few people to investigate, and after a while, Zhang Li rushed back with a look of eagerness on his face.

Mo Xiaochuan looked at him, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"We were rushing back with the things we bought. When we were about to arrive, we found someone following in the forest ahead. Lin Feng brought a few people to check. We were guarding, but a few more people came. As soon as the two sides fought, They ran away." Zhang Li said, slapped himself on the forehead, and said: "I was also confused, I took someone to chase, and when I came back, I lost all the things I bought."

Mo Xiaochuan took a breath and frowned. Could it be that these people are robbers who came here for the goods?If that was the case, he would feel relieved, but since this place is only one day away from the border between Southern Tang and Yan Kingdom, he was still a little worried, and immediately said: "Don't worry, let's find out the situation first." , Mo Xiaochuan waved and led the people towards the forest ahead.

After searching for half an hour, I finally found the lost goods in the forest.The goods were not moved at all, and they were neatly placed there. Even the carriage and horses pulling the goods were unscathed, and the horse's reins were even tied to the tree.This scene made Mo Xiaochuan even more suspicious.

After a while, Lin Feng and the people he sent out came back one after another, but they found nothing except some footprints.Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, Mo Xiaochuan stopped thinking about it and ordered everyone to go on the road, intending to leave this place first.When you get to the main road, where the terrain is broad, even if someone wants to plot evil, it is easy to deal with it.

After assembling the team, they checked the goods carefully and found nothing abnormal, so they took the goods and left the woods.

Walking on the road, Mo Xiaochuan always felt that something was wrong, this incident was too bizarre.The appearance of those people seemed to have done nothing. He was afraid that he had tampered with the goods before, but he checked everything and found nothing abnormal.

Zhang Li looked at Mo Xiaochuan's frowning look along the way, and said: "Brother Mo, don't think about it. Now we have reached the main road, as long as our people are okay, they will come again, at worst, we will just fight."

"En!" Mo Xiaochuan nodded, looked back at the crowd, suddenly, his expression darkened, and asked in a low voice: "When you came back from the city, did you bring anyone back?"

Zhang Li shook his head and said, "No."

"That's weird." Mo Xiaochuan said with a serious expression, frowning tightly.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Mo Xiaochuan like this, Zhang Li was also a little worried.

"The team originally consisted of 52 people. With you and me added, it should be [-]. Right?" Mo Xiaochuan asked.

"Yes, that's right, we will pay off the number of people counted before we leave." Zhang Li nodded.

"Then count again." Mo Xiaochuan said.

Zhang Li turned his head, took a closer look, his face changed, and said, "How could there be 53?"
