Xie Changgeng asked the guide: "Does the next Shue be with Cang Feng?"

“That’s right.”

"How long will it take to get there based on today's road conditions?"

The straight-line distance between the two beacon towers is usually ten miles, but because the beacon towers are built on the top of a mountain or on a high mountain, the actual ground road in the middle is far more than this miles.

"It's about thirty miles away, and it's almost an hour long on weekdays. Now it's hard to get through snow, so I'm afraid it's going to take more effort."

"As long as the news comes out before dark, it's still time to lead the way and drive at full speed!"

Xier said: "Sir Xie, I really can!"

Xie Changgeng smiled slightly: "He'er can do it. But Lord Xie takes you out this time to pick up your mother. Besides, you are still young, and when you grow up, you will help Lord Xie."

He picked up the child, turned around and went.

Although this was said to this child, it was also said to Liang Tuan and others.

Everyone knew that he did not want the young master to take risks, so they followed his leader.

The group got off the beacon tower and walked around the snow. After walking for a few miles, they climbed a gentle ridge. They were about to go downhill, but suddenly, a team of walking towards each other came out from the side.

Both sides were caught off guard and encountered each other head-on.

There were about two or three hundred people on the other side. Although they were all dressed as Hexi defenders, their faces and outlines were vaguely distinguished, so they should be from northerners.

This group of northerners was the team sent to control the beacon tower. When they arrived here, they suddenly saw the small team of people appearing on the opposite ridge and stopped.

Someone shouted loudly: "Hexi Jiedushi Xie Changgeng! He is there!" The voice was filled with ecstasy.

There was a commotion in the team immediately.

They did not expect that they would meet Xie Changgeng, the governor of Hexi here.

There are only a few dozen people around him, but the number of people on his side is ten times that of the other party. If he could catch him and kill him, he would be able to imagine how great the credit would be.

With the excitement roar, hundreds of people immediately chased after him.

Xie Changgeng ordered his followers to retreat, turn the horse's head, follow the original path, and quickly descend the ridge.

Arrow clusters kept flying from behind, swept past, and penetrated into the snow.

A horse was caught in an arrow in the groin, making a painful neigh.

Xie Changgeng looked back at the group of northerners who were catching up with him and quickly made a decision.

He ordered Liang Tuan to bring half of his men to Hecangfeng, and he must ignite the beacon before dark. After completing the task, he took the children straight to Jincheng without coming back.

This group of pursuers was led away by him and the remaining fifteen people.

"Sir! We are willing to cover up the lord and rush out and ask the lord to go to Hecangfeng!"

Liang Tuan led thirty guards and begged in unison.

Xie Changgeng said: "The goal of the northern people is me. If I go to the beacon tower, they will chase after me regardless of everything, and it will be unfavorable."

"Telebrating wolf smoke is the first priority! Do what I want!" He shouted.

Everyone dared not disobey their orders anymore.

"Sir——" Xier called him.

"Wait, I'll go find you!"

Xie Changgeng said to the child, threw him and his skin to Liang Tuan, and immediately took the remaining people and galloped in another direction.

Liang Tuan and the dozen guards hid in the depression behind the snow hills, watching the hundreds of northerners whistling past in front of them, suppressing the uneasiness and anxiety in their hearts, gritted their teeth, and continued to move forward.

Xier held the bag of the skin tightly with her hands, looked back continuously, and after walking for several miles, she suddenly shouted: "Guard Liang, take me back! I'll light the fire for you so that you can help the adults kill the bad guys immediately!"

The Liang Tuan continued to move forward.

"There are so many bad people. If you don't help the adults, he will die!"

The cry of children echoed in the snow.

...

Half an hour later, Liang Tuan and his group took Xier back to Mo Lifeng.

He handed the fire to the child, taught him how to use it, and repeatedly advised him on various precautions after he continued. He used a rope soaked in snow and water to tie his waist firmly, and slowly put the person down from a smoke opening on the top of the beacon tower.

The Liang Tuan and the guards were waiting outside, constantly maintaining dialogue with the children inside.

It's been a while since the child went down.

Everyone held their breath and waited anxiously.

Suddenly, a wisp of black smoke slowly floated out of the smoke opening. Everyone immediately clenched the rope and shouted inside: "Young Master, come out quickly, have you stood up?"

There was no reaction inside.

Everyone looked at each other with anxiety and was about to try to lift the rope, when a cough came from below.

"I'm fine-"

Everyone was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled the rope up.

A small head was exposed from the cigarette opening.

Liang Tuan hugged the child's shoulder and quickly dragged the person out of the hole.

When he first came out, the child closed his eyes, his face and body covered with ashes. He coughed for a while, opened his eyes, turned his head, stared at the thick smoke that kept coming out of the cigarette openings, and asked, "Is this OK?"

Liang Tuan was happy and said, "Young Master, the mission is done!"

The Jiedushi Office has formulated a strict system for the beacon tower on this west marching road. Every beacon tower must ensure that at least one beacon tower is always staring at the wolf smoke in the direction of the next beacon tower to ensure the military information transmission. Unless the beacon tower in Hecangsui is also buried in an avalanche like here, it is impossible to miss the wolf smoke floating in this direction.

Xier breathed a sigh of relief, wiped her eyes that were red from the thick smoke, and said, "I'm fine, you guys hurry up and help me!"

Liang Tuan was extremely admired by this child, so he knelt down at him and kowtowed respectfully.

"Young Master, I'll help you find a place, you can hide for the time being!"

...

The Liang Tuan hid Xier in a cave near the beacon tower, leaving two guards, dry food and water, and took the rest of them away.

Xier waited for three days and three nights.

On the third day, he was extremely sleepy and lay in the sleeping bag. When he fell asleep in a daze, he suddenly heard footsteps coming in.

He opened his eyes and poked his head out of the hole in the sleeping bag.

He saw a tall figure covered in blood, strode towards him from outside the cave.

He recognized it at a glance, screamed in surprise, got up from his sleeping bag, and rushed towards the adult figure.

"Sir Xie! You are back!"

Xie Changgeng caught the child and picked him up.

"Yes, I'm back!"

He suppressed the enthusiasm that surged from his heart and touched the child's hands and feet.

"Are you injured?"

Xier shook her head immediately.

"I ran very fast! Before the fire could hit me, I was pulled out by Guard Liang and the others!"

The child's tone was filled with a little pride.

"By the way, sir, are your soldiers coming? Are you injured?"

The child looked at him, his eyes filled with worry.

Xie Changgeng held his arms tightly and hugged the child in his arms tightly.

"They saw the wolf smoke you passed on and rushed over. They not only defeated the enemy, but also captured many prisoners!"

"Do you want to see it?" he asked.

"think!"

The child's eyes immediately shone with light and responded loudly.

Xier sat on the horse's back and was wrapped around her body by the adult behind her.

The war horse galloped, and the wind blew through his ears, and the people seemed to be flying in the clouds and mist. The children were taken with me, and I don’t know how many roads the horse had been on. Suddenly, there seemed to be a slight sound of cheering in the sound of the wind.

Xier opened her eyes wide.

He was shocked by the scene he saw in front of him.

At the end of the sight, on the snowy ground, a group of troops appeared to be waiting for the army. The flags were flew in the wind, and the soldiers' robes were stained with blood, but they were full of energy. Their armor and swords were flashing in the snow with a cold light that made the enemy tremble.

They lined up here, as if they had been waiting for a long time. The news from the Jiedushi was passed on by the commander and passed on ten or ten to hundreds of people.

All the soldiers let out a neat cheer.

Xie Changgeng took Xier on the horse's back and rode his horse over rows of soldiers who cheered him, walked to the center and stopped.
