Finest Servant

    The news reported by Li Wuling quickly spread among the soldiers. All of them seemed to see Bayanhaote waving at him. The enthusiasm of the men and women, their exhausted bodies poured into great strength, and the whole army united in a concerted effort to take a muddy path through the woods, and spent two hours to reach the source of the stream that Li Wuling spoke of.

    This huge lake is located between the towering peaks of the Helan Mountains. The peaks are everywhere, such as bamboo shoots plunging into the sky. Years of alluvial currents form a majestic canyon between the peaks, and gravel is everywhere. It is hard and dangerous. This Tianchi is in the middle of the canyon. It occupies more than tens of acres of land, and it seems to be a clear spring that is falling on the sky. It is clean and quiet, and it is not contaminated by a trace of the dust. The crystal clear waters of the lake rippled and reflected the shadows of people. Not a few mouthfuls of small underground springs breathed hot air, and the smog rushed out of the sky.

    The lake water slowly flows along the canyon, gently pats the rocks on the shore under the breeze, making a soft sound, as if it were a chapter of harmony and tranquil poetry. The Tianchi, which was embedded in the top of the Helan Mountain, was quiet, without a trace of dust. It was a holy land that no one had ever visited.

    Lin Wanrong picked up the lake and sipped it. A touch of warm scented the entrance nose, as if the mother's milk-like, sweet exception.

    "What is Big Brother Lin, isn't it here?!"Li Wuling picked up the lake and sprinkled it on the face. He wiped the waterdrops in a random manner and smiled proudly.

    “It's here,” he said. “Looking far into the distance, the lake is in full bloom for a long time. Lin Wanrong suppressed the excitement in his heart: “Only the clear, snowy, heavenly waters on the Helan Mountain can irrigate the fertile grasslands of Bayanhot. I'm sure that the Hu ethnic race is in front of us. ”

    Hu did not return to the excitement of the clapping hands: "So what are you waiting for? Let's just make an urgent march tonight, and then go on a hundred miles journey and go straight to Bayanhot."

    "Not reckless."Lin Wanrong shook his head and said: "We should have gone half way. This area of ​​Wang Tianchi is so large that it has not been discovered. In addition to being located in the mountains, there must be natural barriers in front of it. So no one can find it here. ”

    The High Emirates nodded deeply: "What should we do now, whether to stay on the ground or to move on?"

    Xu Zhiqing's ten-day deadline has passed three days. The reentry time is counted and it will arrive in Bayanhot within three days at the latest. If it exceeds ten days, even if the surprise attack succeeds, the Helan Mountain Pass has already been broken. By then, the 8,000 people will be retired and the fierce Turkish people will kill them like a rabbit on the grassland. Far away desert is the burying place of this tens of thousands of children.

    Lin Wanrong sighed as he waited for time. He gritted his teeth and said: "We can't camp yet. As the sun is going down, we have to bypass this Tianchi and move forward for another 50 miles. Big brother Hu called the brothers to fill the water bladder and the horses were drinking enough. We took another one. ”

    Hu does not understand his intentions and nodded. Looking at the glittering lake of the sunset, Lin Wanrong stopped for a long time and swung his whip to take the lead.

    This Tianchi in Helan Mountain covers a vast area and has not completely bypassed one hour along the lakeshore. The more you move forward, the more loose the land under your feet, and the more silt you have deposited. Not only is it a warhorse, it is even difficult for people to step into the past. All the people only have to be careful to lead the horse.

    "Hu big brother, it doesn't seem so good."Lin Wanrong wiped his forehead and sweated coldly. Lara's side was not able to return. He looked around cautiously and his voice was extremely low. Ten feet in front of them, Li Wuling and his scout team are exploring the road.

    "What happened?"Hu asked not to whisper.

    "It's quiet, too quiet."Lin Wanrong swallowed his mouth and looked around with anxiety. They have already reached the end of Tianchi. The dense woods in front of them are full of ancient trees. The rotten leaves of the leaves fall to the ground and a thick layer of felt is piled up. At the time of desperation, it should be the time for the roaring bird to return to the forest, but there is a dead silence in the woods. In addition to their own breathing, they can no longer hear a trace of the noise.

    It's too quiet, actually. Such a large forest, can not hear the birds call insects, see weeds wild flowers, faint fall Yue, the woods unexpectedly flashing pale yellow strange light, lit up, Hu does not return to the hair are erected up, subconsciously pull the side of the high emirate's sleeve. Several people have not spoken, just listen to the front of a sudden scream: "Back, brothers quickly retreat, ah–"

    In front of the five or six scouts, the front foot just fell to the ground, and the body plunged forward. The call of “Ah” passed, and the marshland under the larch needles instantly revealed a dark mouth and swallowed their eyes. body.

    "It was a quagmire – stop and stop."The shouts of non-returning were a bit late, and the first few dozen protesters were dying, and before they could blink, the mud would have drowned them.

    "Small plum–" See the line in the scouts at the end of the Li Wuling a foot empty, head straight toward the mire in the arch, Lin Wanrong nasty Anger, ah, a roar, like a crazy wolf-like jump forward.

    In the high-echelon next to him, he was devastated and he was furious: "The brothers Lin can't, it's a quagmire —" Lin Wanrong moves very fast and the brush rushes past. The High Emirates can't pull him up. He Ah suddenly rushed forward, hugged Lin Wanrong's legs. Lin Wanrong fell to the ground and caught the hand of Xiao Li tightly.

    Li Wuling was deeply buried in mud, and his silt had fallen into his nose. His face flushed with redness. He shook his head desperately and his body struggled to sink continuously.

    "Little plum, you hold on!"Lin Wanrong screamed screamingly, clutching Li Wuling's hand with both hands and trying hard to pull him up. It was just that the mud and the millennium were piled up and the strength was so great that he could use all his strength. Li Wuling's body slowly sank to the mud.

    "Let me do so!"Hu did not return to a shout, suddenly threw himself down in the mud, pulled Li Wuling's other hand, and behind him a few soldiers fell to the ground and clung to his legs. So pull the radish trend, more than a dozen people together to force, Li Wuling's body dragged out of the slough.

    More than two dozen scouts were the only ones who were rescued by Li Wuling at the end, and all of the rest were immersed in this deep quagmire. They did not even find any remains. Li Wuling clenched his fist and looked pale, looking at the quagmire where his comrades disappeared. His eyes filled with tears. In a flash, this carefree teenager matured a lot.

    "do not Cry."Lin Wanrong looked like ink and silently picked up a large knife left in the mud and touched him for a long time. He handed it to Li Wuling’s hand and said, “You straightened my waist–Li Wuling, you remember, Men only cry when they win."

    Li Wuling wiped away tears and snotted her face, and her face looked solemn and solemn. Lin Wanrong nodded and patted him on the shoulders. His face was extremely solemn: "Keep the names of these brothers here – If I can go back to life, I assure you that they will be the most honorable people of my Great Beauty."

    Lin San's promise has never been lost. This is a well-known truth. Li Wuling's grateful humming, wiped away tears, his face no longer goes back to naive colors.

    Unprovokedly lost more than twenty good brothers. The atmosphere in the camp suddenly became dull. This swamp is the only way to the northwest. Hu did not return to the organization to cut down the tree overnight, and countless planks were combined to increase the area of ​​force and lay one inch and one inch along the swamp. The newly-formed scout team stepped on the planks, cautiously and slowly exploring it, and walked five or six miles before walking through the forest and setting foot on the thick black earth.

    With a scolding recap, Lin Wanrong nodded lightly and looked at the swamp that swallowed more than twenty brothers. His eyes flashed fire.

    "To the departing warriors – salute!"Lin Wanrong had a long drink.

    "Brush -", numerous white steel knives, draw sharp arcs together, holding high in front of the soldiers, the flash of cold light through the forest peaks, straight into the depths of the sky.

    After the muddy obstacles were the time of the second half, the sky was still dark, and the plan for encampment had long been soaked. Lin Wanrong's surname did not do anything, and the team neatly moved forward in tens of miles.

    "General Lin, you look at it -" The yelling voice of Hu, and he woke up Lin Wanrong who was still meditating. He looked up and saw only the faint clouds under his feet. On the opposite side, a towering mountain peak thirty feet above the ground, straight into the sky, threatening the sky. The Helan Mountain Tianchi runs here and falls vertically, forming a beautiful waterfall straight down for nine days. The sound of the turbulent water hits the rocks and is extremely crisp.

    Desolation! ! ! Lin Wanrong's eyes were round and cold sweat brushed down. After spending so much time and energy, he also sacrificed dozens of good brothers, and he was thinking of crossing the Helan Mountain. However, he never expected that a broken cliff would have buried all hope.

    "What's good about this?"He shook his head and said nothing, "A bitter cliff!"

    NoHu does not return to the hurry: "It is not this cliff. Look, you are looking far away–"

    In the distant sky, a crescent moon is white as snow, and a faint light fills every corner of the desert grassland. Dim sky, the morning star is bright or dark, faint flashes. Including in the distant world, there is an unusually fiery little star that constantly flickers.

    "Isn't it just a star, what's good looking?"High Emirates Road.

    Hu shook his head in a hurry: "My high brother, you are confused, how can it be a star? That is where we swear to find – Bayanhot! ! ! ”

    "What, what do you say?! Bayanhot? ! ”Lin Wanrong was shocked. He grabbed it and he wasn't returning. "Hu big brother, isn't it a star? How do you know that is Bayanhot? ”

    Hu did not laugh and said: "Brother Brothers, talking about this Turkish customs, you can not match me. Turkish people ride horses for a living, ride hundreds of miles overnight, and lose sight of it in the desert grasslands. Turkish tribes will ignite huge bonfires at night, pointing the way for the tribal warriors to go home. This bonfire is also a symbol of the strength of the tribes. The stronger the tribe, the larger and brighter the bonfire. After the establishment of the Turkish Khanate, due to the great number of battles, this custom gradually evolved into a bonfire at an important juncture. Judging from the position, the brightest star you see is located in the northwest. It should be Bayanhot. Looking at this distance, it should be outside the hundred miles. ”

    That is Bayanhot? ! Lin Wanrong's excitement in his heart cannot be described in words. In the most desperate times, the sudden appearance of the destination gave him surprises and he also sparked a glimmer of hope in his heart.

    Silently staring at the fiery red "star" for a long time, Lin Wanrong squeezed his palm tightly and turned his eyes to the opposite cliff: "Big brother, can you shoot an arrow?"

    The High Emirates boasted: "I haven't told you I'm an all-rounder!"

    "Alright!"Lin Wanrong yelled and passed the strong bow from Hu to the old master: "Big brother, see the opposite tree, shoot him!"

    This powerful one was reformed, with a very thick rope tied behind it. There were as many as several ten feet in length and they were heavily grounded on the ground.

    High Chieftain shouted: "Brother Brother, do you mean we slide along the rope? But what about war horses? ”

    Lin Wanrong clenched his fist and gritted his teeth: "At this time, I can't care too much. Bayanhot is a granary of Turkish people. Big Brother, you just have to answer me. Can you pass? ”

    The High Emirates nodded forcefully: “The Turkish warhorse and the Turkish woman — I've been working hard for thirty years and finally come in handy. Look at my arrow, shoot it—"

    He roared and pulled the bow to shoot. The Fei Yat was running fast with a rope, and in the loud noise of the cymbal, the trunk of the old tree was opposite the center, and the arrow body did not.

    "Good work!"Lin Wanrong praised and took the lead.

    The high priest laughs and shoots two ropes, all of which are the middle goals. He tied the ropes around his waist and hugs the people, and his body slides like a meteor and goes straight to the opposite cliff.
