The heat was suffocating, the staggering slabs were baked like stoves by the unobstructed sunlight, and the procession of thousands of people was still marching, the sun shining brightly overhead, making them suffer with every walk. Large beads of sweat rolled down from his eyelashes, slid into the open placket, and disappeared under the dark chest, the clothes on his body were wet and sticking to his torso, which made people unbearable. The horses drooped their heads weakly, and their hooves were too heavy to lift.

Halfway through noon, it was still early before the sun went down, the marching team had just passed a water point, according to the map indicated, the next water point still needed to walk for at least four hours, because no one had maintained the plank road all year round, so no one knew how much water was left in the place to replenish the water source, at least the place that had just passed had dried up, and now there was not much water left in everyone's water bladder, so every time there was a short break, everyone just symbolically moistened their lips, and then continued on the road despite the high temperature.

Bai Yan reached out and tugged at the placket of his clothes, wanting to get a trace of coolness for himself, but after revealing his chest, there was nothing but the hot feeling left after being burned by the sun. He sighed and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and looked up at the front.

It is already the third day from Jianzhou, according to the progress, today should have rushed to the Zhangzi Valley on the border of Panlong Pass, and then went down to the bottom of Zhangzi Valley at nightfall, and it was necessary to reach Yuanshan tomorrow, so as to keep up with the progress of the team led by General Mu Feng to attack the formation from the front of Panlong Pass. It's hard to think through.

"Little Hou Ye drinks water. Bai Shaoqing followed from behind and threw his water bladder into Bai Yan's arms. The heat is unbearable, people and horses are like this, the white flame of the black horse has been with him born and died, through countless difficulties, when he just rested, he gave his water to the horse to drink, this way the pace of the march did not stop, his lips have long been cracked, his throat is almost smoking, but he did not say a word, did not open his mouth to ask others for a sip of water.

"I saw it all. Seeing that Bai Yan was about to return the water bladder, Bai Shaoqing lowered his voice and said, then glanced sideways, and said: "If you don't drink it, I will tell Nangong that they know, see what everyone says." He knew that Bai Yan would refuse, and he also knew that if others knew about it, they would definitely give their water to Bai Yan, this back and forth, not to mention the delay of time, would add a lot of trouble, so under his obvious threat, Bai Yan smiled and raised the water bladder, raised his head and drank two sips, and said: "Okay, I'll drink it, let's hurry up, we can replenish the water source when we get to the front." ”

Having said that, Bai Yan is like everyone else, and he has no bottom in his heart.

The sun is so big, there are so many people and horses on the plank road, everyone is now fighting not only strength, but also endurance, this road has fallen more than a dozen people, if you can't find the water source next, and I don't know how many people and horses will be broken, this is the power of nature, manpower really can't fight against it.

The goshawk roared and hovered overhead and flew into the distance, and suddenly there was a hint of coolness in the dull air, and then a strong wind began to leak from the gap in the stone slab under his feet, Bai Yan lowered his head and stood for a moment, and suddenly had an ominous feeling.

"Pass my order, all the horses and horses will immediately rush forward, and they must not stop-" As soon as the words fell, the stone slab under his feet vibrate, Bai Yan loosened the reins in his hand, and shouted with all his strength to the front with his hand: "Go-"

Small rocks began to fall from the cliff, and then a dull roar came, and everyone froze for a moment, and then reacted to Bai Yan's shouts and ran desperately forward.

"Little Marquis—"

"Little Marquis—"

Nangong Rehe and Bai Ze did not advance but retreated, and ran towards Bai Yan in the opposite direction, Bai Yan's eyes turned red in an instant, he looked left and right, grabbed the water bladder on the saddle of the black horse and smashed it, and roared: "Get out!

The horse slammed left and right in a panic, cutting the team into several sections, large stones began to fall, and Su Chong and the others, who were walking in the forefront, also turned around, eagerly looking for Bai Yan's traces.

"Little Hou Ye be careful!" Bai Shaoqing pulled Bai Yan from behind, but Bai Yan reached out and grabbed the reins and dragged the black horse fiercely, and the falling boulder smashed into the position where they had just been, breaking the stone slab in half.

"Tu Dan Dou Yu will bring people over!" Su Chong roared and waved his hand, signaling the men and horses to go first, while he himself still ran towards the rear.

"Brother Yang-" Long Wei, who was exploring the path at the front, also felt the vibration under his feet, and Beitangchuan called to see that Yang Yuncong's figure only flashed and there was no trace, he ran a few steps, but was blocked by the team of people who followed.

"Little Hou Ye!"

"Don't panic, let the people behind pass first. Bai Yan stretched out his hand to restrain Bai Shaoqing's shout, and then pulled Wu Xiao away and made a way: "The people behind follow, march quickly, and no one is allowed to stop until they reach a safe place!"

The figures shuttled by, because of Bai Yan's composure, so everyone did not panic, and the horses gradually quieted down, and in addition to the chaotic and deliberately soft footsteps, only the sound of rough breathing echoed in the ears.

The shock was a little smaller, but everyone's vigilance did not dare to relax at all, Su Chong turned around and went to Nangong Rehe and Bai Ze, looking at the two people who fell at the end from a distance, and his heart hung in the air.

Bai Yan knew what they wanted to do, so he raised his hand high in the distance and stopped their movements.

There was a slight cracking sound from the slate, and the falling boulder had been pushed off the cliff from the side, but the bearing capacity of the smashed place was obviously not as good as before, and the broken dust was lifted by the wind and sprinkled into the air. After the people and horses behind him passed safely, Bai Yan turned around and signaled, ready to let Bai Shaoqing go first, but Bai Shaoqing stretched out his hand to push him, and said in a deep voice: "It's not the time for mother-in-law and mother-in-law, let's talk about it later!"

Hearing this, Bai Yan stopped pushing, slapped it on Wu Qi's body with a soft drink, and slowly stepped on the stone slab with it. The crack became bigger and bigger, Bai Yan stopped after passing, and stared at Bai Shaoqing tightly with unconcealed anxiety between his eyebrows, Bai Shaoqing smiled when he saw this, reached out to pull his horse, and said, "It's okay." ”

As soon as the words fell, the cliff shook again, and Bai Yan hit Wu Hu with his backhand, trying to let it go first, but Wu Hu hissed and stood and refused to leave. Bai Shaoqing stepped on the stone slab with his hand on the horse, felt the aftershocks gradually disappear, he breathed a long sigh of relief, but when he stepped forward, he suddenly felt a loosening of his feet, and then his body sank down, and in an instant, he fell down the cliff with the horse.

"Shaoqing-" Bai Yan reacted so quickly, but between the lightning and flint, he had already reached out and clasped one of Bai Shaoqing's arms, but Bai Shaoqing's other hand was wrapped around the reins, and the flesh of his entire palm was suddenly cut off by the reins.

The neighing sound of the horse disappeared quickly, Bai Shaoqing hung in the air and couldn't move under the plank road, because the force of the fall was too strong, although Bai Yan grabbed him, but at this moment his arm was dislocated by his weight, and when he heard the "click" sound, Bai Shaoqing's body slipped again.

"Little Hou Ye let go!" Looking up and seeing Bai Yan's face turn pale in an instant, Bai Shaoqing knew that something must be wrong with his arm.

Under his feet was a cliff with a howling wind, but the person who fell on the edge held his hand and refused to let go, Bai Shaoqing felt Bai Yan's struggle with all his might, looking at the meridians that suddenly jumped at the corners of his forehead and his face that was gradually reddening, Bai Shaoqing suddenly exhaled lightly, and then opened his mouth.

"Don't speak! I don't want to listen to a word!" Bai Yan forced a sentence from between his teeth, then took a deep breath and grabbed the edge of the plank path with his other arm.

The three people in front of them were running back regardless of a single qiē, but because the distance was too far, they couldn't reach it at all. All the qiē is only in a blink of an eye, so fast that people can't react, but for both parties involved, it looks like they can't see the edge.

"Shao-Qing-, no-Xu-let go!" The clenched teeth burst out of the words, but Bai Yan's arm made a sound again, and large beads of sweat dripped down his forehead and hit Bai Shaoqing's eyes, Bai Shaoqing's eyes opened again after subconsciously closing.

If he doesn't let go, this arm of the little marquis will be considered useless......

The body suddenly relaxed, Bai Shaoqing looked at Bai Yan and blinked, and then showed a smile, and the fingers that were interlocked with Bai Yan's hand were slowly released.

"You-dare-" Bai Yan burst out two words from between his teeth, and then clasped his backhand and clasped Bai Shaoqing's arm again. The three of Nangong ran forward desperately, and when they saw that they were about to arrive, they were stopped by the falling stones again.

"Little Hou Ye-Big Brother Bai-"

Bai Yan no longer had the strength to make a sound, so he only shook his head fiercely at Bai Shaoqing, Bai Shaoqing's body slipped again, and Bai Yan also went down a few points.

No, if you don't let go, both of them will die! Bai Shaoqing made up his mind not to wait any longer, and was about to break free, when he suddenly heard a neighing sound from the top of his head, he looked up, and saw Bai Yan's black horse kneeling on the ground with a "snap", and then stretched his neck down as much as possible, letting the reins fall beside him.

Tears blurred his eyes instantly, Bai Shaoqing looked at the reins, then nodded at Bai Yan, twisted the reins with another bloody hand, and then let go of Bai Yan, and grabbed his hands tightly in one place.

Wu Qi slowly stood up, slowly retreated, and when Bai Shaoqing's hands reached the edge of the plank road, he climbed hard and jumped onto the plank road.

Bai Yanchang let out a long breath and turned over, looking at the sky motionlessly, his arm had lost sensation, and his strength had been exhausted, even if he knew that the danger was still not gone, he was too tired to walk.

The vibration of the cliff slowly disappeared, but the wind became more and more violent, and a muffled thunder suddenly came from the sky.

Bai Shaoqing stood beside him and looked at him quietly, then raised his eyebrows and laughed with him.

"It's raining!"

"It's raining—hahahaha—" "It's raining—"
