The early autumn in the north is already a bit cool, and there are withered and yellow dwarf trees growing sporadically beside some deserted official roads.

The setting sun pulls out the long and ferocious shadows of the dead branches, and makes an unpleasant sound in the occasional breeze.

At the end of the official road, wind and dust suddenly rose, and two figures on horseback bumped in.

"Lao Hu, how long does it take for us... to arrive?"

With a tired face, Lin Junshu sat on the horse, holding the reins with one hand, covering his mouth and nose with his cuffs with the other, and asked the short black man next to him.

Hu Jian looked at the road ahead perfunctorily and said casually: "It's almost there, it's almost..."

"This is the fifteenth time you have said to me, 'It will be soon'! Two days ago, when I asked you for the first time, you told me that it will be soon. I beg you to tell me, when you

In my understanding, fast, how long does it take!"

"Who knew, you started asking questions just two days ago..." Lao Hu underestimated in a low voice.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing!"

The horse's hooves splashed with dust, and Lin Junshu felt like he was almost being wrapped into a clay figure while walking in an era without concrete roads.

The fine dust seemed to be everywhere. He could scrape off a thin layer of dirt by gently scraping behind his ears.

Lin Junshu's riding posture was a little weird, and the inner thighs of his thighs were painfully painful. He couldn't help but want to spread his legs and assume a strange posture to reduce the contact surface.

On the day of departure, who knew how devastated he felt when he packed his luggage full of resentment and prepared to set off in high spirits, but met Hu Jian with two good horses waiting for him at Yingkou.

"I'll go! I actually forgot that this is the time when we need to ride on horseback! If I couldn't ride, wouldn't this mission and the future of the Yellow Turban Army be over before we even leave the house?"

Fortunately, when Lin Junshu was a child, his uncle opened a horse farm in the countryside, and he also taught him some riding skills when he went to play.

But he was barely able to ride at best. After four days of high-intensity running, it was really a miracle that he didn't fall off his horse to death.

"Hiss—" Lin Junshu, who was trying hard to maintain a weird posture, broke down under a bump, and his thigh hit the saddle hard. The soreness made him scream out.

"Are you practicing your skills?" Hu Jian looked at him, "I see that you are trying hard to maintain this posture even when you are walking. The leader often teaches me some magical moves. I have never learned this move of yours.

."

"My work￥#...&#@￥"

Lin Junshu almost made Hu Jian angry to death. He seriously suspected that he did it on purpose. This was not the first time that he had been criticized by him to the point of being incompetent and manic along the way.

Mr. Zhang Jiao, you sometimes make mistakes! How can you be so upright and stubborn? Damn it, he must have studied under Prime Minister Zhuge, who was very verbal and verbal!

Lin Junshu calmed down and said to Hu Jian with a very sincere expression: "Brother! I beg you, please tell me the truth once. If this continues, I will die on the road before we reach Xushui!"

Hu Jian took a serious look at Lin Junshu, whose face was full of vicissitudes of life and whose eyes were as hollow and dull as the dead. As if he agreed with his words, he took off the huge package from his back and looked through it.

"It's almost here..."

Just when Lin Junshu was about to explode again, he quickly added: "This time it's true!"

"Why?"

Lin Junshu was surprised and asked how long it would take for you to arrive. You didn’t look at the road or the sky, but instead looked at your bag? Is there a weird GPS positioning system in this world?

"Because we have finished eating the dry food."

"……………………"

The way you calculate time is based on the speed of food consumption? Then along the way, every time I ask you, you pretend to look left and right, are you treating me like a fool?

"I￥#...%&"

……

When the sky was getting dark and only a thin wisp of sunset remained on the horizon, Xushui City finally appeared in their sight.

The trees on both sides have become much more lush, and the dark brown city wall stands at the end of the desolate official road. The city gate is still open, and well-equipped soldiers guarding the city can be vaguely seen.

The two stopped on horseback, and Lin Junshu sighed with emotion: "Finally... finally arrived alive..."

"By the way, Lao Hu, General Zhang, didn't you say that Xushui City is almost closed, how can we get in?"

The blind student discovered Hua Dian again!

Hu Jian looked at Lin Junshu in surprise as if he were a fool, turned over and dismounted, grabbed Lin Junshu's reins and walked towards the bushes.

"Gently...gently! My legs!"

Hu Jian pulled the horse and walked dozens of meters. When he felt that he was almost there, he stopped and put down the package he had been carrying.

Lin Junshu didn't know what he was going to do, so he could only try to dismount tremblingly.

"Here, this is the armor and token of the Han military commander."

As soon as Lin Junshu got off his horse, he was handed over a somewhat worn armor.

Lin Junshu took it in confusion, and saw Hu Jian take out another set of the commander's armor and token from the package.

"How many things are you carrying in this bag? You have been running for four days with so many things on your back, and this horse has not been crushed to death by you?" Lin Junshu didn't know for a while that he should marvel at which of the two of them was better.
p>

"Is there anything strange about this? This horse was specially used by the leader to use magic. It is very powerful. Please put on your armor quickly. These were collected by us during the previous war. From now on, you are the military commander and I am the Tun

"Long." Hu Jian said casually.

It turns out that Zhang Jiao had arranged it a long time ago, but why didn’t he mention these important things except for me telling a bunch of stories! This made me despised by this big boss!

Lin Junshu imitated Hu Jian's example and put on armor, but he repeatedly scratched his thigh and screamed in pain.

Hu Jian, who had already put on his armor, looked at the side for a long time, and finally said "Oh" in realization, took out two talismans from his arms and handed them to Lin Junshu.

"So your legs are bruised? This is an analgesic charm drawn by the leader. It can not only relieve pain, but also speed up healing. Just stick it on your legs, otherwise you will be too weird and will be misunderstood.

”

"I...you have something like this, why didn't you take it out earlier!"

"You didn't even ask me."

"I've already done that, can't you see it?"

"I thought you were practicing."

"..."

In the end, Lin Junshu put on the armor with the help of Hu Jian. Zhang Jiao's spell was indeed very effective. As soon as it was applied, a cool breath spread to his thighs, and the pain disappeared immediately.

"If you have anything that is inconvenient to bring into the city, give it to me and I will bury it under the tree together with the package."

Lin Junshu was alone, with only the long sword that had been "battle-tested" with him and the "Essential Techniques of Taiping (Cultivation of the Self)" given by Zhang Jiao.

After thinking about it, Lin Junshu handed the booklet in his arms to Hu Jian and buried it together. Since he was going deep behind enemy lines, he couldn't leave any risk of exposure with him.

After taking care of everything, the two led their horses out of the forest, mounted their horses again, and walked slowly towards Xushui City.

Lin Junshu wore a helmet to cover his unusually short hair, straightened his waist and held a knife, walking in front and back with a arrogant look.

Hu Jian was half a body behind and followed silently.

When they reached the city gate, the gun-wielding soldiers immediately stepped forward and stopped the leader, Lin Junshu, with their guns drawn.

"Eh-"
Chapter completed!
