Chapter 196: Mountain Rain is Coming II
In the past few days of his peers, Yun Xuan accidentally learned that Leng Yan was a person from Wanzhou, and it seemed that he also had a complicated relationship with Yunzhong, he suddenly remembered the scene when he first entered Yunzhong, and listened to the information of Leng Yan's family from the side, and learned from Leng Yan's mouth that there are three main forces in Yunzhong, and the Treasure Pavilion in Yunzhong is mainly composed of members of these three forces, the current city lord has not been in good health recently, and the next city lord's first heir, Dagongzi, is a mediocre person with no talent, so the controversy over the heir has been ongoing in the past few years, and many people have proposed to abolish that mediocrity and set up another heir, among them, the second son of the second heir, and Leng Yan's father have the highest voice.

But in Leng Yan's mouth, his father has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, so if there is a crisis, the second son of the second heir in line is the most likely to use a conspiracy.
After Yun Xuan listened a few times, he had just sorted out the outline of the Ye family's history in Yunzhong, and Su Huoshan had already interjected: "Hey, junior brother, I don't have the impression that you have so many questions, have you heard any gossip?"
Yun Xuan smiled and said, "No, the journey is boring, just ask." However, Yun Xuan's vigilance was even heavier, if that second prince really had any conspiracy, I am afraid that it would be difficult for them to resist with their current centaurs.
Xu is words fell into someone's ears, and I saw Meng Hao, who was riding a spirit horse in front of him, turned around and said with a self-confident smile: "Ye Xian, the second son in the clouds, is indeed a sinister villain, I saw it when I was a child, I remember that I said loudly at that time that he was definitely not a good thing, and he was immediately slapped by my father, hehe...... But don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one will dare touch you. ”
Meng Hao's grandfather is the patriarch of one of the three major forces in the clouds, and his father is also Leng Yan's father's right and left hand, so from this point of view, Meng Hao and Leng Yan also have the value of being used as bargaining chips.
Looking at the gray sky, the prophecy of the damned Oriental Fairy suddenly sounded in Yun Xuan's ears again: the fourth turning point in your life still occurred when you were nineteen years old......
That dark green swampy wetland, a large group of fire dragonflies in the sky buzzed, and countless demon cultivators...... Still clearly imprinted in his mind, Yun Xuan shook his head vigorously, waved away all those gloomy pictures, and silently warned himself that only by waving all the unpleasant things to the back of his mind could he grasp the future!
Leng Yan, who was sitting opposite, rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked softly, "Senior brother, what are you thinking?"
Yun Xuan smiled slightly and said, "I didn't think about anything, I was just in a daze." ”
"Well," Leng Yanwan smiled, and also poked her head out of the window, "It's almost to the Thunder Eye Mountain Range, and at this speed, it is estimated that you will be able to reach the territory of Yuezhou at noon the day after tomorrow." ”
The warning signs in Yun Xuan's heart became stronger and stronger, and previous experience told him that once such an alarm appeared in his mind, the danger was about to appear, and at the same time, he also noticed a rather strange thing: I don't know when it began, there were no more carriages and pedestrians passing by them.
Leng Yan looked at Yun Xuan's gradually solemn expression, and asked softly, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"
Yun Xuan was about to answer, and the entire train fleet had already stopped in the rumbling, and then he heard Meng Hao's loud voice coming from the front: "No wonder my eyelids have been jumping since the morning, and sure enough, something happened......"
Listening to the noisy voices outside, Yun Xuan whispered to Leng Yan: "Senior sister, it's still raining outside, you sit and don't move, I'll be back soon." ”
"Well, but the mountain wind outside is so strong, and your cultivation has just recovered, forget it, I'll go out with you." Leng Yan said with concern.
"No, you sit here first. Yun Xuan said in a deep voice, and then remembered that he had fallen inexplicably a few days ago, so he had to put on another coat before pushing the car door and walking out.
Yang Yi, the captain of the Imperial Forest Army, who was responsible for protecting their safety along the way, hurriedly ran over from the front and said with a concerned face: "Elder, the road is slippery, you better go back to the carriage and rest first." ”
"You don't have to be wordy. Yun Xuan said coldly, and Yang Yi immediately closed his mouth, because he knew that this elder's temper was capricious.
Yun Xuan walked quickly to the front, pushed away the crowd, and found that the mountain road in front of him had been blocked by the collapsed earth and rocks, forming a high wall blocking the way for everyone to advance.
Meng Hao, who was on the side, suddenly turned his head and asked, "What do you think?"
Yang Yi thought he was asking him, so he analyzed: "It is estimated that the rain has been too much in the past few days, which caused the collapse of this section, but such a large-scale landslide, if we use manpower to carry it, with our manpower, I am afraid it will take more than half a day, and now it is impossible to fly with the sword, I suggest going back, bypassing from the other side, although the road is a little farther, but it is safe, who dares to guarantee that after clearing the roadblock, there will be another landslide in the road section in front of the road......"
Yun Xuan silently observed the surroundings, this was an unusually narrow section of the road, the road only could accommodate three carriages in parallel, and the two sides of the mountain road were cliffs, in this vast forbidden space, it was impossible to pass through at all, he walked over and took a look, the verdant and verdant valley was covered with a thin layer of mist in the thunderstorm.
Meng Hao walked to Yun Xuan's side and also looked at it.
Yun Xuan looked at the other party and found that Meng Hao had already carried his big bow on his back, his eyes flashed with appreciation, whether he was based on intuition or experience, but in such an environment, the one who could smell the danger in advance was often the one who could survive to the end.
Meng Hao turned his head to Yun Xuan and said, "Hey, I'm asking you, what do you think?"
"Heh, you're going to ask me for advice. Yun Xuan was a little surprised, after all, he and Meng Hao had only known each other for a few days.
Perhaps it was intuition that drove Meng Hao to ask a question, Yun Xuan looked around again, and said: "The best way now is to clear the roadblocks in front as soon as possible, if it is really too late to clear them, I suggest that we collectively abandon the car and climb over, but it seems to be too high, and it will be dangerous to climb over, so as long as we can open up a passage that is enough for us to walk through." ”
Yang Yi on the side couldn't help but laugh, this young elder was really whimsical, he tried his best to make his tone sound less sarcastic, and said in a low voice: "Elder, if we do it according to your method, not only will we waste useless manpower, but we will not be able to catch up with the next post station before dark." ”
"What's next?" Yun Xuan's smile turned cold, "Whether you can see the sun tomorrow is still unknown." ”
The arc of Yang Yi's smile widened, and the subordinates behind him also laughed softly, and the young elder began to mess around again.
In the sound of the rain, only Meng Hao nodded and said seriously: "This is not alarmist, I agree with the elder's suggestion, and immediately start to move, move away the obstacles in front of you, how much you can move, how much you can count!"
Yang Yi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Her Royal Highness the Princess has instructed us Imperial Forest Army to unconditionally obey all the orders of the guests of the Yuntian Sect, but this time, can you give us an explanation? After all, it will delay a lot of time." ”
Yun Xuan pointed to the top of the collapse and said, "Captain Yang Yi, pay attention to that cliff!"
Yang Yi looked at Yun Xuan's finger and said, "Elder, this is obviously a trace of a landslide, which is why the cliffs here are so smooth. ”
Yun Xuan said in a deep voice: "No, in fact, this is artificial!"
Yang Yi smiled again and said, "Although I haven't seen many landslides, this location is bare, and it is obviously different from other places......
Meng Hao had already interrupted him in a rough voice and said, "Captain, don't you think that compared to other places, this bare place is too much sand and gravel that has collapsed here?"
Yang Yi's face finally changed, if someone deliberately piled up such an illusion of a landslide, then it was likely that an ambush had already been arranged nearby.
Yun Xuan smiled and said, "Captain Yang Yi, it seems that you have finally discovered that the person who arranged this trap must have thought that we would go back the way we came, and in this way, we would just fall into the trap they had arranged." ”
Yang Yi's expression suddenly became solemn, and he immediately ordered: "Everyone listen to the order and immediately remove the barricades in front of you at full speed." ”
At the same time, he secretly thought in his heart: their train fleet is imprinted with the mark of the three major immortal sect forces, who is so bold to harass them, but since they dare to come, it is definitely not good......
Thinking of this, he also joined the team to carry the sand and gravel.
This group of escorts, who are pampered on weekdays, suddenly asked them to do coolies under the rain, and immediately heard a complaining voice: That damn Captain Yang Yi must have disobeyed Yang Fengyin again, and used us as tools again to pat the horse......
In the clanging sound of excavation, Meng Hao suddenly turned his head sideways, as if he heard something, and his whole body fell to the ground, his ears pressed against the ground.
Yun Xuan looked at him and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, Meng Hao, what did you hear?"
"It should be that those ambushers are waiting impatiently, they are catching up, there are quite a few of them!" Meng Hao frowned, and then said, "Speed up, everyone, if you still want to live!"
The escorts let out a soft laugh again, thinking that this boring guy had started playing tricks again.
Only Yang Yi followed and scolded: "Don't be lazy, be sharp!"
Although he didn't quite believe that Meng Hao could really hear the sound so far away, there was a chance that the illusion of the collapse in front of him was deliberately piled up by someone, no matter what the person's motive was, but it would definitely not be wrong to leave here as soon as possible.
The drizzle continued, and it didn't take long for the faint but neat footsteps to reach his ears, and Meng Hao muttered: "It's so fast! 1,000 people, 2,000 people, 3,000 people...... Oh my God, at least 8,000 people!"
Yang Yi's forehead was already covered with water droplets, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or sweat, he whispered: "What kind of people are we, we just left the scope of the Imperial Capital Apocalypse and immediately started, could it be the Shen Family?"
Meng Hao didn't answer him, his hands and feet became faster.
