Chapter 183: Departure
Ouyang Jian personally led the Red Feather Army out of Xicheng, and the people of Xicheng had heard about it, and they all stood on both sides of the street, shouting and cheering.
Ayin rode on a horse and waved at the people on the street, with a small face that was inexplicably excited.
Jiang Xiaoyu glanced at her funny and said, "These people are not seeing you off, what are you excited about!" Besides, you don't even know how to spell a fart, and you won't be able to help much. I see, you should go back to sleep. Before dark, Ben Shaoxia must return triumphantly! ”
"Cut, underestimate people, aren't they!" Ah Yin waved his small fist and replied excitedly, "Even if my spell is low, I am still a little more powerful than ordinary people." And this time, but Qingqing personally said that he would take me there, you are not qualified to object! ”
Jiang Xiaoyu looked back at Mao Qing and Li Jiang, who were two steps behind, "Hey, face paralysis, what do you think, let this girl go, you are not afraid of sheep falling into the tiger's mouth, there is no return?" ”
Mao Qing replied indifferently, "Isn't it because you're watching!" ”
"Who said I'm going to help you watch her?" Jiang Xiaoyu shouted a little unnaturally, "This young man is going to subdue demons and eliminate demons, you want to find an old mother, Li Jiang is good, he looks suitable!" ”
"Jiang Xiaoyu, are you itching again!" Li Jiang glared at him angrily. At this moment, Li Jiang's heart was still trembling, he remembered that before he entered the Qingyun Temple, he had heard some old people mention Qingqiu Mountain, at that time he only listened to it as a ghost story, but he didn't expect to really go up the mountain today.
"Senior brother, nothing will happen!" Li Jiang asked worriedly.
"Follow Jiang Xiaoyu and Ayin. The rest, don't worry about it! Mao Qing smiled at him comfortingly, grabbed the horse's belly, and caught up with Jiang Xiaoyu, "Meng Jiangna?" Did you come out or stay in Ouyangbao? ”
Jiang Xiaoyu said, "Ouyang Jian is worried that this attack on the mountain may not be successful, let him sit in Xicheng and stabilize the hearts of the people!" However, with his little martial arts, even if he comes out, it won't help! ”
Mao Qing nodded. Silently looking at the long line ahead. I don't know whether to be compassionate or helpless.
"Qingqing, what's wrong with you?" Ayin asked, tilting her head.
Mao Qing didn't speak, but the whole person seemed preoccupied. Jiang Xiaoyu also felt abnormal, since he left Luokou Town. He felt that there was a difference between Mao Qing and usual. Although it shows that it is still deserted. But his eyes were no longer cold. Instead, it becomes heavy and grief-stricken.
The sun slowly slipped from the south to the west, and the legendary Qingqiu Ancient Pagoda had emerged from the shade of the mountain. The trail is not rough, but it is much narrower than usual. Ouyang Jian gave up his horses. Hike into the mountains. Everyone walked for a while, and someone in front of them hurriedly ran over, saluted with a fist at Maoqing, and said, "Master Maoqing, the castle lord invites you to come over!" ”
Haoqing nodded, glanced at Li Jiang, and then turned to Ayin and instructed, "You are obedient, don't mess around, don't be reckless." Anything, you have to listen to your third senior brother and Jiang Xiaoyu, if you dare to disobey, I will immediately send you back to Qingyunguan! ”
Ayin pouted, "But~"
"No, but!" A cold voice, not angry and self-threatening.
"Got it! Qingqing, you have to be obedient, don't be reckless! Ayin said seriously with a small face.
Mao Qing reached out and patted her head, a warm smile slowly bloomed at the corner of her mouth, and she nodded seriously.
The lake-blue figure quickly disappeared into a patch of crimson gold, and in the sunlight, only a faint glare remained. Ah Yin looked at the front steadily, and muttered, "Jiang Xiaoyu, Qingqing will be fine, right?" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu didn't know how to comfort him, so he hurriedly turned his head to look at Li Jiang for help, but found that he was squatting on the ground and scratching the ground with his hands.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Li Jiang didn't raise his head, and replied, "I look at the soil here, it's so hard, I'm afraid that when I escape for a while, I will be hit on the head!" ”
"I'll go, and you want to run away before the fight starts?" Jiang Xiaoyu shook his head speechlessly, "Mao Qing is really true, why don't you let Yu Qingyang follow, at least he is still reliable!" ”
"Why didn't you give your opinion earlier, you came when I liked it!" Li Jiang stood up in annoyance, and the fat on his stomach also turned upside down.
At this time, the team in front began to move again, and Jiang Xiaoyu heard Mu Zhong's loud voice, "There may be fox demons ahead, everyone pay attention to safety." ”
"This is coming?" Li Jiang didn't know whether he was scared or excited, his fat face was flushed, and his eyes flashed with the light of a thief.
The mountain road winds up, the slope is gentle, and there is no precipitousness.
The more he walked, the more uneasy he became, he couldn't feel any breath around him, even if it was flying insects, birds and beasts. A qiē, quiet extraordinary.
At the end of the mountain road was a neat wood, thin and straight, high as a spear stuck in the ground. The leaves of the trees rustle without wind. The gray ground was empty, not a single leaf had fallen.
Mao Qing raised his hand slightly, and Ouyang Jian immediately asked, "Is there anything abnormal in this forest!" ”
Before Mao Qing could answer, Mu Zhong interjected and said, "What can be abnormal, castle master, you look inside, this forest leads directly to the stone tower behind you, and you can see the end at a glance." The ground was as hard as stone, and there could be no traps. ”
Ouyang Jian raised his eyes, and sure enough, as Mu Zhong said, the woods were empty and unobstructed, and the stone pagoda on the opposite side was clearly visible. Even in front of the stone tower, two unformed foxes were squinting and napping.
"Mao Qing, this looks like there is really nothing abnormal! It's not as good as ~"
Mao Qing raised his hand and drew a few times in the air, but he still didn't feel any living beings, not even unjust souls. Mao Qing frowned, and said secretly, could it be that he is really too careful, and the truth is really as he sees? Or is there a master living here, and there is no gap to cover up a qiē?
Several young girls came out of the stone tower one after another, all dragging a fox tail behind them. Stretching his waist in the sun, it seems to be extremely comfortable.
"Castle Master, it seems that these demon foxes didn't know that we would take the initiative to attack the mountain. I've heard that the werewolves like to move at night and rest during the day. Why don't we take advantage of the fact that they are not guarded now, and kill them to rub their hands and! Mu Zhong said in a low voice.
Ouyang Jian glanced at Mao Qing again, and saw that the other party had never found anything suspicious, and his heart was slightly relieved. He nodded at Mu Zhong and said, "Since Master Haoqing has no objection, Mu Zhong, you let the Red Feather Army divide into three teams, attack the woods from the left, center and right respectively, and surround the stone tower, since the war has started, we must succeed in this battle, otherwise there will be endless trouble!" ”
Mu Zhong immediately took the order and left. Hao Qing didn't say a word from beginning to end, he couldn't find anything suspicious, but he had to be suspicious. So after Mu Zhong left, he immediately stepped forward a few steps into the woods, and he felt the air in the forest tremble slightly, as if the one qiē here was not separate but a whole.
After a few more steps, the vibration disappeared again, as if it were just his hallucination.
Mao Qing reluctantly walked a few more steps, but the entire forest was still silent and unresponsive. The Akabane Army, which had already divided into three teams, saw that nothing had happened to Miqing into the woods, and they couldn't bear it anymore, so they immediately rushed in.
The moment the Akabane Army, who was at the forefront, stepped into the woods, Mikiyo suddenly felt a low laugh from the tree trunk beside him. (To be continued.) )
