Chapter 21: The Danger of Shushan

Shushan.

An ancient force located in the mountains, which existed before Qin destroyed Bashu. For thousands of years, the Shushan people have lived and multiplied here.

The mountains are verdant and beautiful, and there is an open valley in the depths of the Bazhong Mountains.

The environment is beautiful, and wooden houses are built in clusters. Mountain people can be seen everywhere, and there are still smiles on their faces. The sound of a babbling stream flowed down from the high mountains in the distance, and a young girl dressed in a foreign costume was washing by the river.

With the slender feet of white silk swaying slightly in the water, the girl's head has a slight sound of the unique silver ornaments of different races, and the sound of Lingling is made between the collisions with each other, which is pleasant and moving.

The girl's face is painted with colorful patterns, and there is a wild beauty in the delicateness. She looked at the fish in the water, that comfortable look, suddenly smiled, I don't know what she was thinking?

"Xiao Yu, the elder called you."

"Got it!" This woman named Xiaoyu gently put on the show shoes she bought from the bottom of the mountain, thanked the visitor, and walked towards the high mountain in the distance.

There is only one way up the mountain, but there are many forks in the road. If you are not familiar with the terrain here, it is easy to get lost in the vast mountains.

Xiao Yu was familiar with the curves and walked step by step into the deep mountains. The girl's physical strength is very good, and this long road seems a little too long for a strong adult man.

However, when the girl walked towards her final destination, under a huge ancient tree with red leaves on the top of the peak, she did not even breathe.

Under the ancient tree, at this moment, a group of people had gathered around an old man in white. With the arrival of Xiao Yu, all the people that the old man wants to gather have arrived.

The crutches in his hand were slightly crutched, and he looked at the men and women of the clan in front of him. said: "Today, I will gather all your Yu Yuan guards because of one thing, the crown prince of Qin State led an army of 50,000, has passed the Golden Bull Road, and is about to enter the Bazhong realm. ”

"What are they here for?"

In front of Xiao Yu, a sturdy man asked.

"The purpose is obvious, it is for Shushan."

At the forefront of the team, Xiao Yu's brother Yu Ziqi said.

"That's right." Regarding Yu Ziqi's statement, the elder nodded and agreed.

"Previously, the empire sent envoys several times, but they didn't get a satisfactory answer from us, it seems that Emperor Qin's patience is finally gone."

"They are also too domineering, we just didn't agree to their conditions of submission, and they sent troops to attack us!"

"What are you afraid of, when have we been afraid of others."

……

Among Yu Yuan's guards, they were either insulting or disdainful......

The elder looked at the crowd of people, shook his head, and said, "There is no point in discussing these things at this moment. Emperor Qin has coveted the sacred relics of our clan for a long time, and this time, I am afraid that a catastrophe is coming to Shushan. The elder's face was full of sorrow, it seemed that he was not sure that he would be able to let Shushan survive the menacing attack of the Qin army this time.

After listening to the elder's words, the scene instantly became cold. Yu Ziqi asked, "How much power can we still use now?" ”

"There are about 3,000 guards in Shushan, and the nearby mountaineers who are willing to assist us are estimated to be more than 20,000." The elder said.

"Enough!" Yu Ziqi said firmly.

Looking at the confident Yu Zi Period, the elder asked, "Zi Qi, what can you do?" ”

Yu Ziqi smiled: "The Qin army swept the world, and there was no opponent, which is certainly powerful." However, the situation in Bazhong is different, the mountains are dangerous, the people are fierce, and the nearby terrain is complex, there are many forks and paths, even the local people are not very clear. I assert here that mountain warfare is not the strength of the Qin army. Therefore, we should give full play to our advantages, attack them, attack them, flank them, and avoid fighting them head-on. Forcing the Qin army back is the right law. ”

Although Yu Ziqi has lived in Shushan since he was a child, he has always been interested in the way of soldiers. He is indeed very talented in this regard, as a general under Xiang Yu, his military talent has begun to show now.

After Yu Ziqi said this, the elder nodded in agreement.

"But there's still a problem." Xiao Yu's crisp voice sounded, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.

This is the first time that Xiao Yu has officially spoken on such an important occasion, and she is still a little cramped in her words, and said: "Yin and Yang family." ”

Everyone's attention was on Qin Jun's body just now, and after Xiao Yu's reminder, everyone suddenly realized.

Oh, yes! In addition to Qin Jun, there is also a Yin and Yang family.

The Yin-Yang family is a nightmare that hangs over the heads of all the forces in the rivers and lakes. Their methods are cruel and their tricks are so strange that they are difficult to guard against.

The important thing is that they have grown stronger over the years with the help of the Empire.

Among the hundreds of schools, only the Yin and Yang family is the most headache for the people of Shushan. In a way, the inheritance of the two families is very similar, and they are both the inheritors of the ancient King Chiyou, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are of the same origin.

In the eyes of outsiders, the witchcraft of Shushan is mysterious and weird. But in the eyes of the Yin and Yang family, it is a trick that can be easily cracked.

This point is particularly unfavorable for Shushan.

"We don't know how many people the Yin and Yang family has dispatched this time. The left and right protectors of the Yin and Yang family, the five elders, Shushan is not without the power to deal with it. ”

The white-haired old man looked at the ten Yu Yuan guards at the front, and even Yu Ziqi was not among them.

"You are all strong men of my clan, and this time I will entrust you with the task of resisting the Yin and Yang family."

"We will certainly live up to the expectations of the elders." The ten men all knelt down on one knee and said.

The red fallen leaves fluttered, and Xiao Yu looked longingly at the Yu Yuan guard, who was at the forefront of the ten people, and was also the strongest. Looking at the other party's resolute and handsome face, the girl's eyes were full of confidence and expectation.

"Alright, go down and prepare! Cultivate well, recharge your energy, and deal with the unexpected situations that may arise next. The elder said to the ten Yu Yuan guards.

"Yes, Elder."

"Child period."

"In!" Yu Zi period hand road.

"I will hand over the command of the 3,000 guards of Shushan Mountain and the more than 20,000 nearby mountain people to you. This time, I will leave the matter of dealing with the Qin army to you. ”

"Yes, Elder."

The elders instructed one thing at a time, and nothing was too small. Yu Yuan's guards also walked away one by one, and in the end, only Xiao Yu was left.

"Xiaoyu." The elder looked at the girl, his eyes full of pity.

"Grandpa Elder." Xiao Yu stepped forward and hugged the old man, and said respectfully.

The old man turned around, looked at the huge Fusang Divine Tree, and said, "Xiao Yu, I have something for you to do. ”

"Grandpa Elder, am I a little incompetent?" Before the old man finished speaking, Xiao Yu said with some concern.

"I know you failed last time. However, it's not your fault. Listen, what I'm going to say next is very important, and you have to keep it in your heart. ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Yu nodded respectfully.

There was a long roar in the sky, and a three-legged golden crow flew from afar and landed on the sacred tree.

The two of them saluted the three-legged golden crow, and the old man continued, "Once things fall into the worst condition. Xiaoyu, I hope you will be able to get out of here. Take the last seeds of our Shu Mountain and leave here. ”

"What? Could it be that they can't resist the Qin army? Xiao Yu said in surprise. The ashamed brother in the girl's mouth is the leader of the ten most powerful Yu Yuan guards.

"No, it's not enough." The old man shook his head, just now the meeting was to boost morale, but the old man did not say what he really thought in his heart.

That is, with the power of Shushan, if you want to fight against the empire, it is far from enough. The old man's knowledge is not comparable to these Yu Yuan guards who have never been out of the mountains.

He knows how big the world really is. The Qin army swept across the world, and the enemies of the empire fell one by one. Among them, there are many masters who are more powerful than the Yu Yuan guards of Shushan. There is no shortage of forces that are more powerful than Shushan.

Yu Ziqi's suggestion is correct, but it can only be delayed for a while. The old man still has a simple understanding of the unmasked Qin Huang, and this is a person who will never give up until he reaches his goal.

And Shushan is just an insignificant obstacle in front of his huge empire. For Emperor Qin, it was even worse than a praying mantis.

The old man sighed and said, "Xiaoyu, you have to remember. In this world, there are some things that are more important than life, and they are worth our life to stick to and guard,"

"What's that?" The girl asked, her eyes full of confusion.

"For us in Shushan, guarding the Yu Yuan Seal is the greatest meaning of our existence. But for yourself? What is it? Only you will find it for yourself in the future. The old man touched the girl's head and said with a smile.

"Go down!"

The old man looked at the girl's distant figure and said, "Xiao Yu, the last hope of Shushan may fall on you." ”

……

"I'll go, what's all this about?" Ying Ziyi looked at the food in the lacquered box on her desk and looked at Xiaohe in surprise.

Cockroaches, scorpions, centipedes. Can my food be a little more terrifying?

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, didn't you ask our sisters to find some local souvenirs for you?" Xiaohe said aggrievedly.

"Okay!" Ying Ziyi vaguely remembered that she seemed to have said these words. However, looking at the food in front of him, is there only this in the land of Bazhong Shu?

"No! We asked the locals and they said there were a lot of specialties here. However, only these are the most distinctive. ”

Under the service of Xiaohe, Yingziyi reluctantly ate a centipede. "Huh! It's pretty tasty. ”

"Shall I just say? We've all tasted it before, and the food tastes really good. Xiaohe said with some pride.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the people of the Yin and Yang family have already come." Just as Ying Ziyi was eating, the guards outside the tent said.

"Let them go and wait for me."

Ying Ziyi smiled and said. (To be continued.) )
