Chapter 482: Surprise
After careful observation, Fu Yunzhang found that there were traces of artificial chiseling on the cliff here, and he thought it must be a natural cliff if he didn't look carefully. However, they had almost touched everything they could with their arms, and they couldn't find where the mechanism was.
Fu Yunzhang knew that there must be something strange inside, maybe this was a secret base of the Sun family. Ever since he came to Shiyan Town, he had secretly checked where the Sun family's Weapon Forging Division was, but in the past two years, he had sent a large number of people to no avail. If this is really the Sun family's secret base, then it is not worth the trip.
At this time, Fu Kai jumped onto a big tree, and after a few ups and downs, he reached an ancient tree towering into the sky on the peak on the right side of the cliff, carefully checking the movements around him. Suddenly, he saw several flying eagles hovering over the opposite peak, flying low from time to time, circling and circuitous, lingering for a long time. This discovery lifted his spirits, and he hurriedly jumped down the tree and reported to Fu Yunzhang: "Master, the slave found that the opposite peak is very suspicious, if the minion's guess is accurate, there must be a dead body on the opposite side, so as to attract the flying eagle to linger." ”
Fu Yunzhang's eyes lit up after hearing this, he looked around, and immediately ordered: "Fu Kai, you stay here with five people, pay attention to hiding your figure." I took someone over the mountain to see what was going on. Remember, this is a key point, and you don't have to be sure not to act rashly, just remember who is coming and going. ”
"Yes, the minion obeys!" Fu Kai replied solemnly. "The rest of me come with me!" Fu Yunzhang waved his hand and took the remaining twenty people to climb to the opposite peak that Fu Kai said. However, the opposite mountain peak seems to be very close. But it was extremely difficult and steep, and there was no way to go, so they carried light work. Through the forest and around the stream, the army marched rapidly. Along the way, they were afraid of alarming each other, they didn't dare to make a fire, they were hungry and gnawed on dry food, thirsty to drink mountain spring water, and walked for two days and two nights before the third day before the Buddha dawned at the foot of the mountain.
This mountain peak is staggered, steep and steep, and the main peak stands majestically in the shape of a tower. It gives people a sense of awe-inspiring and majestic. They didn't rush into the mountains, and even if they wanted to, they couldn't get in. Because there is no way to enter the mountain from the foot of the mountain, you can only grope your way slowly.
They tried to climb with the help of the thick branches of the peaks, the protruding rocks, and the hanging vines. It took more than a day and a night to climb to the top of the mountain. When we reached the top of the mountain, it was the beginning of the day, and the sky was already bright. On the top of the hill are countless stout thousand-year-old pine trees. Lush. Towering into the clouds, the cool mountain breeze blew in, and their spirits were lifted, and even their sweat-soaked clothes were dried up on the top of the mountain for a while.
Fu Yunzhang let everyone rest under the pine tree on the top of the mountain, ate some dry food and wild fruits that were left, and recovered their strength. He also took advantage of the situation to check the movement down the mountain so that he could make the next move.
Fu Yunzhang leaned on a stout pine tree, nibbling on dry food while overlooking the place where the flying eagles hovered in the valley below. I wondered how to get there. You know, it's easy to go up the mountain and hard to get down. It is especially prudent when the situation is unclear.
Half an hour later, under the leadership of Fu Yunzhang, the group of people who had recovered their strength carefully approached the valley secretly, trying not to make any sound. When they were about to descend halfway down the mountain, a rotting stench came to their faces, which made them feel alarmed and more cautious in their actions.
Fu Yunzhang made a gesture when he was about to approach the bottom, and everyone immediately stopped. He gently brushed aside the branches in front of him and stared to the right front that was smelling foul. Just one glance made his eyes widen in shock.
I saw a relatively wide col in front of me, and the col was surrounded by towering cliffs. To the southwest of the col, in the direction they came, was a natural crater from which the foul smell emanated.
What shocked Fu Yunzhang at this moment was that the deep pit was full of rotting corpses, and countless green-headed flies were buzzing at a low altitude, most of them eating the rotten flesh of the rotting corpses on it. Several eagles pecking at carrion flew low, and because they sensed someone approaching, they flew into the air unwillingly.
The col was silent at this time, and no one was found guarding here. However, Fu Yunzhang knew that there must be someone guarding this place, but he was hiding in the dark and didn't know the location. Therefore, he did not act rashly, but quietly waited for the opportunity to find out.
At this moment, there was movement ahead, and at the cliff in the easterly direction, a hole suddenly appeared, and out of the hole came a group of ragged men pushing carts. There were corpses piled up in the cart, walking in the direction of their invisibility, but strangely, as they entered, there was the sound of chains.
Next to the trolley convoy, there were two big men in black suits, waving whips in their hands and shouting at the men who were pushing the carts.
"Hurry up, what's wrong with not giving you food? Slowly, damn it, I have to ship the goods after it is done quickly. ”
"Smack! What to see? Look at it again, gouge out the eyeballs for you! What's wrong with dissatisfaction? Since you came, you will not eat soft and hard, or Meng Tou will not put you in shackles. ”
"Oh, what nonsense are you talking to him, no matter how tough he is, he is not a defeated general under our Meng Tou?"
"Didn't I enlighten him to let him suffer less, such a strong laborer, what a pity to let Meng Tou toss again?" “
Fu Yunzhang followed the words of the two black-clothed men and stared at them, which made him almost cry out.
I saw that the third person in the trolley team was a strong man with a tall horse, his hair firmly fastened to the top of his head with a straw rope, and his purple and black face was covered with dirt. Don't look at being reduced to a prisoner, pushing a trolley in his hand, looking around with big eyes but with bright eyes, without the slightest kind of submission and frustration as a prisoner. With shackles on his feet, he made a loud noise with every step, which added a kind of iron-clad momentum to this person.
This person is none other than Wu Dingyuan, the deputy general under Ren Changqing. Because Fu Yunzhang once visited Ren Changqing, who was stationed in Baishan City, when he was the magistrate of Fuyuan County, he was one of the people who accompanied him to drink at that time. Because Wu Dingyuan has a bold and informal personality, Fu Yunzhang is very similar to him, so he is very impressed by him.
What made him wonder was how Wu Dingyuan fell here, even if he was captured by the enemy when Baishan City fell, it should be in the hands of the Liao army, how did he get here? Either way, though, he had to get him out. He can't let the soldiers defending the frontier be trampled on here and suffer humiliation. At the same time, he was determined to destroy everything here. It's a pity that I only have five grenades in my hand, so I don't know what the situation is inside? Is there an ambush outside? Under all the unclear circumstances, the twenty or so secret guards he brought really can't act rashly. (To be continued.) )
