Chapter 293: Dragon Tail
Looking at Li Yuan's distant figure and the dust rolled up under the horse's hooves, Xin Zi and Takemoto were a little stunned.
Takemoto turned his head to look at Xin Zi in surprise.
Xin Zi quickly came back to his senses, smiled at Takemoto, gently clamped the horse's belly, and went forward.
She likes this Li Yuan very much.
Compared with Takemoto's heartfelt courage and forbearance, she has always admired Li Yuan's true temperament.
Although Takemoto has always thought that Li Yuan is not a qualified dark pile, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he is timid and timid. But Xin Zi felt that he lived a frank and unrestrained life, which was very rare. Fear is fear, will not hesitate to speak out and then escape faster than Xin Zi; Hate is hate, and will grit his teeth to consider Xin Zi and Takemoto, and complain for them; Love is love, and it will not be hidden, just like the reluctance to Yuchen at the moment, which is fully revealed.
Xin Zi often admires Zuo Qiyang, not because of his little tricks and opportunistic ability, but because of his ability to recognize and employ people.
is like Takemoto and Li Yuan, who escorted her to Xiyu, one static and one moving, one brave and one witty, one restrained and one outgoing, and the two can complement each other when they cooperate.
Such a pair of wonderful people can be said to be a perfect match, Li Yuan's thoughts are obvious, but the flowing water is intentional, is the falling flowers ruthless?
Xin Zi thought about it, and there was a little more smile in his eyes when he looked at Takemoto, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Takemoto.
"What's wrong with the girl?" Takemoto asked her seriously.
Xin Zi shook his head, and the smile became even stronger.
Just like a trivial matter like a name, these two people are also very different. Li Yuan began to call her Ah Zi very early, and such an intimate way of calling her was not even used by Xing Fu Wang Hu, who had traveled with her through the entire Xiyou Continent; Takemoto, on the other hand, still called her a girl after he had proposed her many times, as if it was extremely disrespectful to just call her by her name.
Seeing Xin Zi like this, Takemoto couldn't ask anything, so he had no choice but to give up and follow her silently.
The three of them said goodbye to the Willow Wind Inn and went all the way to the southwest.
At the Willow Wind Inn, they had enough spirits, enough dry food, and even three horses, and the speed of the three of them was significantly faster, and the Longwei Valley, which I thought would take at least three days to reach, actually arrived in less than two days.
crossed the western continent twice, but this was the first time Xin Zi had come to the foot of Longwei Valley.
Unlike Xinmen Pass and Jiamen Pass, the magnificence of Longwei Valley is not because of the magic of nature, but because it brings the art of human construction to the extreme.
This is the westernmost extension of the Longji Mountain Range, which is said to be the dragon's tail, but it does not have the slightest tail that gradually flattens out the terrain, but is still like the rest of the Longji Mountain Range, the majestic mountains are tightly connected in a line, stretching straight into the westernmost ocean.
In other words, this so-called canyon was actually originally a natural mountain barrier, which was dug out by the ancestors with their hands and a stone.
After understanding this layer, when they looked at the city walls and passes that suddenly sunken down in the middle of the mountains and were rebuilt with bricks and stones, Xin Zi's faces showed a lot of admiration and sighing.
Although the walls at the bottom of the valley were extremely small compared to the towering peaks on either side, the wall itself, which was about ten men high, was a spectacle to be placed outside any plain or capital.
Li Yuan raised his head, stretched out a hand to block the sunset shining from the sea level in the west, squinted his eyes to see the terrain of the man-made valley in front of him and the distribution of troops stationed there, and after finally seeing what kind of iron wall the three of them were about to face, he looked towards Takemoto with some discouragement.
This time, unlike when he was in Qubu City, even Takemoto did not have the previous firmness and courage to fight to the death.
It seems that it is impossible to break through, and there should be no chance of victory.
Li Yuan was planning quickly in his heart, and finally approached Xin Zi's side and asked in a low voice, "Do you know the general Xiyouyan who was stationed?" What is he capable of? How does it compare to our General Yi? ”
Although Xin Zi had said before that he had some friendship with that Yan Wuxing, people with a little brain could also see that Xin Zi looked extremely reluctant when she said that, obviously deliberately fabricated it in order to persuade him and Takemoto not to risk crossing Longji Mountain for her. How much is true and how much is false? Li Yuan boldly speculated, but he was afraid that Xin Zi and this Yan Wuxing were acquaintances, and they would never be friends, maybe it would be good if the two were not mortal enemies. Otherwise, Xin Zi could have handed a letter to the general when the three of them had just stepped into the Western Continent, asking him to transfer troops to the north to escort the three of them south into Xijing, so why risk passing through the land of demons alone?
Sure enough, as Li Yuan expected, Xin Zi's eyes were a little uncertain, staring at the bluestone city wall in the distance, and replied lightly: "It's more than that." "I didn't say a word about what she said before that the two were friends.
Li Yuan had a general understanding in his heart, he looked at Takemoto, and the two nodded tacitly, agreeing with each other's ideas. Li Yuan was more sure that there was no problem with his plan and boldly proposed: "We want to disguise and fool the past like in Qubu City, but we are afraid that it will not be easy, it is better to wait outside this country first, wait until the sun sets, the gate of the pass over there is locked, and the sky is dark, we will attack the city wall at night, Takemoto will take cover, and my palace will protect your safety, we will take advantage of their unpreparedness and secretly break through." ”
This plan is obviously full of loopholes, not to mention that the defenders here are all brought out by Yan Wudaunt himself, practicing every day, without a moment of slackness, and all of them are vigilant and not losing to the soldiers on the march and fighting, it is impossible to miss the three big living people because of the far-fetched reason that the so-called sky is not good and cannot see clearly, and let them make trouble under their noses.
Even if they are really fooled around, how will they break out after they go to the city wall?
How many cavalry, infantry, and crossbowmen were there within the walls of the city? With just the three of them, how can they resist?
can break into a city alone with the courage of one person and have enough confidence to retreat with his whole body, Xin Zi believes that there is only one person in this world.
So she shook her head and rejected Li Yuan's proposal in one gulp.
Li Yuan was not discouraged like this, but became more and more frustrated and said bravely: "If you think this is inappropriate, we can also try to bypass the mountains and forests with few troops and relatively gentle terrain on the side of the city wall, and if we can't do it, we can simply pass through the shallow sea in the west......
Seeing that Li Yuan's words became more and more outrageous, Xin Zi raised his hand to interrupt him, and said firmly: "You stay here, find a more hidden place and wait for me, and I will go to negotiate with the person guarding the city wall." (To be continued.) )
