Chapter 410: Beyond the Grotto
Chapter 410
Outside the valley, the sun was almost noon, and the sky was even brighter, not even a single cloud, but in this late autumn valley, people still couldn't feel the warmth of a trace of sunshine.
On the contrary, it is full of heaviness.
Especially in the valley, the closer to noon, the wind in the valley seems to intensify with the change of time, and the wind and sand carry gravel and hit people's faces, causing pain.
However, even so, many sergeants outside the valley still looked vigilant, standing in their positions meticulously waiting for General Zuo Yuanfeng's orders, not at all like the soldiers who had just come down from the battlefield and fought with real swords and guns.
These soldiers were all credible people selected from various armies, and after being told by Zuo Yuanfeng the reason for coming to the valley cave here, everyone's faces were full of solemn vigilance at this moment, and they didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
He Qili was really not there in the Huiqiang army, and even He Hu, who was only under He Qili in the Huiqiang army, was nowhere to be found, and then the 100,000 Xining army fought against the most 70,000 Huiqiang soldiers, and it was Zuo Yuanfeng himself who led the troops to fight, and the Huiqiang army, which was already unstable, was defeated one after another.
In addition, Zuo Yuanfeng was worried about Emperor Zhengcang, who was still in the grotto, and his son and others, and he was bent on ending the war here as soon as possible so that he could rush over to rescue, and he didn't even know that he was killed.
The whole army of Xining saw that their general was like an angry tiger, and almost every enemy was killed with one blow, and no one could stop him wherever he went, and the intuitive Zuo Yuanfeng was really like the god of war sent to them by heaven for the Xining Dynasty.
At this moment, outside of his death, Zuo Yuanfeng frowned and looked at the soldiers and generals who had been in place for a long time and had already surrounded the valley here, but ......
As Chu Qingyang said, as long as Emperor Zhengcang was still inside, Zuo Yuanfeng would not be able to enter.
The emperor can die, but Xining can't mess up.
has been with Emperor Zhengcang for so many years and has experienced countless experiences, although the two are commensurate with each other, they do get along like confidants and friends. Among them, of course, the person who died fifteen years ago, but no one has forgotten it to this day.
Zuo Yuanfeng clutched the reins in his hand tightly, and the good horse under his crotch seemed to have felt the tightness emanating from Zuo Yuanfeng's body, and couldn't help but paced in place with a slightly uneasy snort.
Zuo Yuanfeng's two eyes were firmly fixed on the gate of the cave not far away.
As far as the eye could see, the stone gate was so wide open in front of everyone's eyes, unguarded, whether it was the person who returned to Qiang He Qili or the master of the shadow gate led by Chu Qingyang.
"Damn, why did you tell Wang Ziming to run away?!"
Zuo Yuanfeng thought that Dou Ba and the secret guards of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion went to arrest Wang Ziming together, but they still let Wang Ziming escape from the city gate, and he was angry in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Wang Ziming was actually a martial arts master hidden in the dark, not only escaped the joint arrest of Dou Ba and the secret guards of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, but also escaped from the northern city gate.
"General, look, someone has come out of the grotto!!"
Zuo Yuanfeng was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard Dou Ba beside him shouting loudly, and suddenly raised his head and looked at the door of the grotto.
But I saw a group of embarrassed people hurriedly running out of the cave door, these people's services were dirty, but it was not difficult to identify the identity of the Hui Qiang people, even if they were surrounded by the elite regiment guarding the gate of the grotto.
Zuo Yuanfeng saw that the person who ran out of the grotto was still carrying one, and he couldn't see the appearance of the person who was being carried from a distance, Zuo Yuanfeng immediately jumped off the horse and walked forward quickly with Dou Ba, who was following closely behind.
"How is he?!"
He Hu stepped forward to take a closer look, and when he recognized the identity of this person, he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Who is he?" Zuo Yuanfeng hurriedly asked when he heard this.
Dou Ba stepped forward and turned around the unconscious He Hu, and said to Zuo Yuanfeng as he walked:
"General, this person is the second person in charge of the Huiqiang army besides He Qili, He Hu! When I took someone to arrest Wang Ziming before, I accidentally let him escape from the northern city gate, and we followed his variety show all the way to catch up, seeing that this was He Hu who led people to rescue Wang Ziming, I remember his appearance, and I will definitely not admit it. No wonder we almost arrived at the Huiqiang camp and didn't see He Hu, I didn't expect that it was not only He Qili, but even He Hu had entered this cave!! ”
Zuo Yuanfeng's expression couldn't help but become a little dignified when he heard this, looking at He Hu covered in blood, he still broke a leg, and he really looked like his life was hanging by a thread, and couldn't help but look at the subdued Huiqiang sergeant who was closest to him, and asked in a deep voice:
"What the hell is going on? What happened inside, and how could your leader be so badly injured? ”
When the Qiang soldiers heard this, they did not answer immediately, but turned their eyes to look at their companions, and when they saw that they did not speak or object, a trace of hesitation flashed on their faces, and they pondered for a moment, thinking of He Qili's move to let them leave with He Hu quickly, and thinking that He Qili was already on the same line as the people of Xining in the grotto, and finally said:
"It's the spy that the Shadow Gate Master planted in your army, Wang Ziming. It was he who blew up our leader with a fire and thunder that was ignited, and the leader and many of his brothers had no time to dodge, and were either killed or seriously injured by the explosion, and only a few of us were intact and escorted the leader to escape. ”
"What?! Wang Ziming?! How could it be him? It turned out that he actually told He Hu that there was a trap designed by Chu Qingyang inside the grotto?! Hearing this, Dou Ba turned his head to look at Zuo Yuanfeng in shock.
I saw Zuo Yuanfeng frowning, and said in a deep voice:
"It seems that Wang Ziming must have a plan to find Chu Qingyang, but now that Chu Qingyang's ambitions are exposed, Wang Ziming's plan has failed, so he switched to He Hu! It seems that the prince should have wanted He Hu to go and reap the benefits of the fisherman, but he didn't expect it to become like this in the end. ”
Dou Ba nodded, and also felt that Zuo Yuanfeng's words were reasonable, so he couldn't help but be more puzzled and worried:
"What is going on inside this grotto that makes the situation so complicated and difficult to guess? I don't know what happened to our emperor and the other four at the moment. The grotto is so small, what if our people are affected by the explosion of fire and thunder? ”
After Dou Ba finished speaking, he saw Zuo Yuanfeng drooping his eyelids slightly and was contemplating, but his face was full of worry like himself, so he couldn't help but suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the soldier who had answered Zuo Yuanfeng's question before, and asked fiercely:
"Say it quickly!! What's going on inside this grotto?!!! (To be continued.) )
