Chapter 687: Night Detective

Luo Qi crossed several rivers in a row, and when he saw that he would cross the widest one in front of him, he should enter the land of Goryeo. For fear of extraneous branches, Luo Qi had no choice but to stop her steps, doubting whether her judgment was wrong.

Although the ice and snow melted on the ground, several snow-capped mountains in the distance were still crystal clear. As far as the eye can see, there are only mountains and rivers, where is there a trace of people?

Luo Qi refused to give up, she tapped her feet lightly and jumped into the air. In a moment, the thin spring shirt flew in the wind, and a goose-yellow shadow swept up the highest branch of the tree.

Yingying's ungrasped new branches have just bloomed a few buds, as if they will be broken down by the wind. It was this new branch that carried the weight of Luo Qi's whole body, she floated on the branch like a wisp of light smoke, took out the clairvoyance in her arms and looked around, not letting go of a suspicious place.

Staring at the direction of the snow-capped mountain from afar, Luo Qi's eyes widened suddenly, and his gaze was firmly locked on the place where the clouds and smoke were slightly faint but curling up.

She remembered clearly that the snow-capped mountains marked on the map were all uninhabited. The old lady also deliberately said that this place was barren, and the king of Goryeo intended to expand his territory in the past, and after seeing this barren land, he also dispelled his thoughts.

The old lady said that these mountains are uncultivated barren mountains, and I am afraid that they will not be able to live. Luo Qi clearly looked at the smoke rising from the snow and fog that were blowing one after another.

Thousands of miles in the wilderness, the fog and haze, the smoke of the cooking, especially clear in the snow.

If there are fireworks, there are people's homes, and it is difficult to become the city that cannot be found. Luo Qi was overjoyed, she quietly signaled, stayed where she was, waited to meet her companions, and prepared to explore the depths of the snowy mountain in the middle of the night.

When the night was dark, Luo Qi and his secret guards all changed into white clothes close to the color of the snow, and they seemed to merge with the snow, slowly approaching the place where the smoke of the daytime cooking stove rose.

A lonely city, standing in the depression of that tall snow-capped mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, forming a horn trend, it is really extremely difficult to be found.

Luo Qi took a closer look, there was a corner tower hanging high on the city gate, thinking that it was used to stand guard and sentry, and there was a moat a few zhang wide dug in front of the city, and a rope bridge was hung high, cutting off the connection between the inside and outside of the pass.

By covering his body with rocks, Luo Qi could vaguely see torches burning on the city, and there were soldiers and figures.

Luo Qi and the others didn't dare to get too close, so they took out their clairvoyance and took a closer look, and the word Jingtang was on the high city tower. Jingtang Pass, which can not be found, is hidden in this three-regardless area, standing in a snow-capped mountain.

Inevitably startled, Luo Qi and the others quietly retreated. They deliberated carefully, and while they went to Beijing to send a message to the old lady to ask for instructions on their next move, they still returned along the Black Mountain Pass, joined the army in the border city, and appeared in Li Zhifang's large tent of the Chinese army.

After the road in the Black Mountain Pass was cleared, Li Zhifang and his son also searched for the traces of Su Duhan and others several times, but because they lost the opportunity, they never found any clues.

Listening to Luo Qi and the others, there is still such a hidden city in the snow-capped mountains, and their father and son and the subordinates look back and forth, and they feel incredible.

Luo Qi spread out the map in the army, followed the snow-capped mountains to find the location of Jingtang Pass, drew a big red circle on it, and handed it to Li Zhizhi and the generals.

Take a closer look at the location of this Jingtang Pass, it does not belong to Xixia, some are in the direction of Goryeo, but it is separated from Goryeo by a river, and it is a good place to hide in a three-way area.

In this way, it can explain why Huang Jie dared to take risks that day and led the team through the Black Mountain Pass on a snowy night, and there must be someone here to answer them, so that they can have no fear.

Stationed here for many years, he didn't know anything about Jingkang Pass, Li Zhifang's dark face turned red, he grabbed his hair in annoyance, and thanked Luo Qi sincerely: "Thanks to the girl's traces this time, we can prevent it from happening." It's a shame to be so close to the enemy and be so ignorant. ”

Luo Qi smiled humbly and replied loudly: "The ambitions of the wolf are all sneaky and unsightly, how can we blame the general? For the sake of today's plan, let's see how we can annihilate Jingtang Pass in one fell swoop." ”

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, now the enemy is dark and I am clear, what is the situation in Jingtang Pass, how many troops are unknown, Li Zhifang looked at the generals under his account, thinking about who to explore the truth and the truth, and then make further plans.

General Xiao Li recommended himself and wanted to take on this task. Luo Qi shook his head slightly and said: "Don't bother the two masters, the slave maid is on the order of the old lady to search for the whereabouts of Jingtang Pass, so naturally he has to find out the situation in the pass. ”

Li Zhifang's father and son are handsome, and have made great contributions to Xixia, Luo Qi respects this father and son, and does not want to let General Xiao Li take risks alone, so he relies on his own art and courage, and he should undertake to explore Jingtang Pass at night to find out how many people and horses there are.

At this time, after the third watch of the night, the soldiers defending the city were drowsy, and it was the time when the defense was the most lax. The night was deep, Luo Qi's white clothes were like silk, the same color as the snow-capped mountains, she was as clear as a touch of light smoke, and quietly approached the moat of Jingtang Pass.

Luo Qi looked at the river carefully, it was only a few zhang wide, although the suspension bridge was hanging high, it was difficult for her to work lightly. Seeing that there was no one on all sides, Luo Qi lightly touched his toes, and his body was like a light bird, and he flew across the suspension bridge in just an instant, silently sticking to the city wall.

In order to prevent it is difficult for white clothes to hide in the city, Luo Qi changed into black clothes under the city, wanting to wait for an opportunity to climb the city wall.

Since the establishment of Jingtang Pass, it has never seen a foreign enemy. Although the soldiers kept vigil as usual, they did not have much vigilance. Luo Qi listened attentively, there were patrolling soldiers walking by on the wall tower, and he could hear the footsteps of each other, and he could hear a few laughing noises.

Thinking that it was too comfortable, the soldiers of Jingtang Pass were not strict in defense, so it was just convenient for them to move.

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Luo Qi's mouth, and she found an unattended dead corner, and gently climbed the city wall like a gecko. In a leap, the body soars a few feet into the air, listens to everything above as usual, and then makes a slight leap.

Her black clothes blended into the night, and she fell silently into the city in a few ups and downs, evading a group of patrolling soldiers, and her figure as faint as smoke disappeared into the depths of the alley in a flash.

About all the people in the pass are soldiers, and there are not many households, all of which are three huts with their own courtyards, which are more like the families of soldiers. Luo Qi leaned over the roof of a slightly higher mansion and quietly looked around.

The west side should be the place where the soldiers are stationed, and there are faint flags waving in the night, except for the faint lights in the distance, a large camp is quiet and peaceful, and I think most of the soldiers in the city have fallen asleep.
