Qin Fei was indeed on the road, but he didn't go all the way north. Logically speaking, when Tang Yin arrived at Huguan Camp, Qin Fei would only have half a day to reach Huguan at most. However, Qin Fei chose another road, and took a circle from afar, and then took a detour to Huguan.

"Why do you have to go so far?" Zhou Liyuan asked in surprise.

Qin Fei rubbed his thighs that were sorely worn by the saddle and said, "If I were Su Jin, would I squat in Huguan, with more than 10,000 people, waiting for the siege of more than 100,000 troops, and still have to be guarded against the assassination of the top master of Chu?"

"Then, Huguan is such a fortress, and he tried his best to fight. Could it be that he would give in?" Zhou Liyuan asked afterwards.

"This is not to mention that the war has made Fang Wuliang bother. I just think that Su Jin will never stay in Huguan unless he is a fool." Qin Fei looked up at the front: "We have been on the road for several days and have reached more than a hundred miles north of Huguan. Now we can turn around."

………………………………………

The black army was like dark clouds, swallowing the earth. They rushed to the car and opened the way. The officers and soldiers raised their shields to resist the rain of arrows that were coming to their heads. The sharp blades were on their waists, and they drew their swords to fight. Thousands of archers were pressing their positions firmly. As long as they entered the range, they would suppress the city with even more crazier shooting. The carefully selected cavalry was ready to move, following the infantry. Once the city gate was broken, the steel warriors covered in iron armor would swept into the tiger pass like a whirlwind, killing a river of blood.

The first battle between famous Chu generals against the Northern Frontier General Star was to follow the rules!

The city was unusually calm, and although the flags were dense, no feather arrow fell.

Fang Wuliang frowned: "What the hell is Su Jin doing? The army is approaching a land of arrows, and he can't even have a strong crossbow."

"There is a fraud in the city, do you still need to continue attacking?" General Pan Rong, the left hand, lowered the flag in his hand and asked cautiously.

"attack."

The rushing car pushed the moat without any damage, and the soldiers quickly filled the moat with several roads. The stormtroopers squatted under the city wall nervously with shields, and the ladders rammed onto the city wall... There were no arrows, no turbulent, no rolling stones, no wood... There was nothing, only the towering city wall of Tiger Pass, which was as quiet as if it was like a ghost city.

The horn of charge blew up, Tang Xuan gritted his teeth, pulled out his waist knife, bit it, and climbed the ladder with his hands and feet. Yang Dapeng followed him tremblingly, keeping chanting the blessing of God and Buddha. Several long dragons climbed towards the city head along the ladder, and the quiet city head was still motionless.

It was not until Tang Xuan jumped to the top of the city that he exclaimed: "Empty City?"

………………………………………

"Are you stupid?" Su Jin looked at the flag at the head of Huguan City from afar and replaced it with a large flag of Chu army. He spat fiercely and cursed: "Fang Wuliang brought more than 100,000 people to encircle me. The troops in the four towns have not arrived yet. I squatted in Huguan. Wouldn't you swallow it all in one bite? Dreaming!"

"The general of the town is a clever idea. If the enemy advances and retreats, we will not fight for the length of a day. It is really the style of a famous general in ancient times!" The general beside him flattered decisively.

A school captain said cautiously: "Mr. General, we have worked hard to capture Hu Pass. The King of Yan was very happy when he knew it. He immediately sent troops from four towns to help him. If he didn't even send a single arrow, he would hand over Hu Pass. I'm afraid that the King of Yan could not explain it, right?"

Su Jinman shook his head indifferently: "The troops in the four towns have arrived, so I can naturally get Huguan back. At that time, I am afraid that Fang Wuliang will be made into dumplings by me."

"The adults are invincible. How can a mere Fang Wuliang be his opponent?" Seeing that Su Jin was full of confidence, the captain sent a bowl of ** soup.

Su Jin smiled, raised the whip, and left.

………………………………………

There is no road in the desolate land. People who come and go from south to north use wheels, horse hooves and footprints to leave traces on the earth, which is barely considered a road. The north wind is howling, the fallen leaves are bleak, and the dead trees stretch their rugged arms in the wilderness. As the wind passes, the old branches sway gently, making a slight sound, like crying...

An old man held the leather hat on his head, his eyes full of crow's feet looking for directions. A small piece of fallen leaves was blown up by the wind and flew towards him. He reached out and grabbed it lightly. The fallen leaves turned into dust in his palm and fell from his fingers. The old man smiled slightly, as if he was quite satisfied with his move.

He looked like an ordinary passerby, wearing a thick cotton robe, carrying a bamboo basket, and containing simple luggage. He suddenly stopped, glanced at the dense horse manure and marks on the ground, and whispered: "There are actually a large army passing by here, it seems that he has not been away for a long time..."

He looked up at the south again, murmured to himself: "This is already the north of Hu Pass, the army... Could it be that Xiao Jin has withdrawn from Hu Pass?"

In the dry and cold winter, the horse manure was already hard but not cracked yet. He was experienced and could naturally tell it. Just as he was about to follow the footprints, his expression slightly condensed, he listened with his ears, and there was a sound of hooves in the distance, and the number of people was not too many. He put on his whole hat and bamboo basket, lowered his head and continued to walk forward.

The bell behind him rang lightly, and a small group of people rode their horses, and a clear voice shouted: "The old man in front, please stay!"

The old man frowned and had already concentrated before he turned around. This time he came out, he had important things and didn't want to cause trouble. But if the group of people behind him were in trouble, he wouldn't mind killing all these people! The war was in chaos, what was the point of dying dozens of people?

But as soon as he turned around, he immediately gave up the idea. This was a team of extremely powerful knights, with more than 30 people carrying more than 60 horses. The knights were all agile, and many of them were even wearing weapons. Obviously, they were not easy to chew. The knight who caught up with had a slender sword hanging around his waist. Interestingly, this sword was actually not sheathed!

Most swordsmen will put their swords in the scabbard. First, to prevent the sword blade from accidentally hurting oneself or others. Second, the scabbard can sometimes be used as a weapon. There is only one type of person who is never willing to use the scabbard, that is, the fast swordsman. He practices fast swords, so the faster the better. It is faster than pulling the sword out of the long scabbard and directly pinning the sword on his body. For those who pay attention to speed, fast is everything. If you are fast, it will determine whether you die or I die!

"Who are you?" The old man looked panicked and almost collapsed on the ground in fear. He asked tremblingly, "Is he a hero with the cutting path?"

The swordsman strangled the horse's head and smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, we are just passers-by. It's a bit strange to see you passing by here alone, just ask."

"It's better if you're not a thief..." The old man patted his heart, his face pale, and was obviously scared.

The swordsman was a little dismayed and helped him up, asking, "There are chaos here in Huguan, why dare you come out alone?"

"It's because of war? All the soldiers at home were stolen. I, an old man, want to go to Dongdu to join relatives." The old man said resentful.

The swordsman sighed and said, "It's the people who are suffering in war. By the way, don't walk on the road of Huguan, which is probably fighting there. You can't go north, the north is extremely chaotic. If you bring enough dry food, go from Huaxian County. It's a little farther away, but it's very safe."

"Thank you, brother." The old man hunched over and wanted to salute.

"No need." The swordsman jumped onto the horse and turned around and ran towards the team.

Back in the team, the swordsman said to the man sitting on the back of the horse, "I asked, there should be no problem. Should we go south or north now?"

"Zhou Liyuan, you are just anxious. Now you must go south to Huguan. Maybe you can meet Su Jin's withdrawal army." The lazy man was Qin Fei. His butt was hurting when he rode a horse. He changed his position and adjusted his sore waist.

"Admiral Yuan..." Qin Fei turned his face and said to the rebellious admiral: "What do you think?"

Yuanxin thought for a while: "Let's go north. There are traces of the army passing by here. I don't know if it's the mark of the troops going south by the four towns or the mark of Su Jin going north. When we go north, we can't find people at most, but if we go south, we will be thrown away by Su Jin if we accidentally."

"I guess Su Jin will abandon the city, but he won't go far. He must stay near Hu Pass, wait for the troops of the four towns to meet up before conquering Hu Pass. If he had this idea, the horse manure here was left by one of the troops in the four towns when they were left in the past. I don't think there are too many, and it is likely to be a vanguard." Qin Fei explained.

Yuan Xin nodded slightly, suddenly saw Qin Fei's face change slightly, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"That old man is not right." Qin Fei said in a deep voice: "There is no one in a radius of hundreds of miles. If an old man does not have a little cultivation level, just walking through this wasteland will be so tired that he can't get up. How could he walk so steadily? If he is a person with cultivation level, why did he fall so scared when Zhou Liyuan asked him?"

Zhou Liyuan's face turned red, he lifted the reins and turned around and rushed forward.

"Old man, stay." Zhou Liyuan shouted at the top of his throat.

The horse's hooves flew fast and were rushing behind the old man in a blink of an eye. Zhou Liyuan was about to reach out to grab his shoulders, but suddenly a huge force that could not resist came from his wrist. Then his body lightened. The old man shook him up before he turned around. At this moment, he turned around and took action, stabbed Zhou Liyuan's eyebrows with his finger as a knife, and was about to kill him with one blow.

Zhou Liyuan was shocked. This was a time of life and death. The results of years of hard work showed their hard work. When his right hand shook, the long sword was already in his hand. A cold light flashed, the sword light was breathing, and the sharp sword energy was approaching the old man's heart. This was a way to fight with gritted teeth and die together!

In terms of speed, there are really not many people who can be faster than Zhou Liyuan.

The old man exclaimed lightly, but he didn't expect that he had not been in the world for many years, and now the young man is much more powerful than that in the past... The thought flashed through his mind. When he was unable to speak, he easily avoided Zhou Liyuan's sword and slapped Zhou Liyuan away. A stream of blood spurted out from Zhou Liyuan's mouth, and a piece of bright red fell in the air.

Qin Fei's face turned cold, his long legs turned over the horse's head, and rode his horse to chase him.

The old man landed steadily on Zhou Liyuan's horse's back, and slapped his hand back, and the fierce horse ran out with all his strength!
