Chapter 531: Foggy Ridge Storm (1)
(Second Update!) οΌ
In the distant Wuling Mountains of the western frontier, Fu Huaide forcibly endured the pain in his left abdomen and asked Fu Huailu, who was dressed in rags: "How is it?" Can you find it under the cliffs? β
Fu Huailu shook his head, his voice was hoarse, and he replied slowly: "Nothing." The private soldiers in the family did not find anything, and they could not continue halfway down. The Shen family's secret guard still didn't give up, and now he was trying to find a way to go down to the bottom of the cliff. β
In the past few days, Fu Huailu barely closed his eyes, and took the Fu family's private soldiers to probe down the deep cliff of Wuling. Several times I went down to the cliff, but I returned several times. - The cliff is too deep, just between the two mountains, and there is no place to settle underneath.
Fu Tong has already given a death order, and he must find Shen Du. To be born, to see people; Die, see the corpse.
To this end, the Fu family dispatched many people. In addition to the soldiers of the Western Frontier Guard, even the private soldiers at home appeared. Fortunately, Zhu Youji turned a blind eye to this, and the tiger army from the imperial court had already followed Lu Fengde to defend the vein, even if the Fu family's private soldiers moved, it did not cause any movement.
Even though so many people were dispatched, no clues were found. To be precise, they haven't been able to find any clues for the time being, because they can't go to the bottom of the cliff at all, and they don't even have a chance to find Shen Du's body.
"......" Fu Huaide wanted to say something, but he only felt a pain in his left abdomen, so he had to continue to be silent.
After a long time, Fu Huailu said with a tired face: "Even if you go to the bottom of the cliff, you may only find a corpse." The cliff is so high that there is almost no chance of survival. β
Even if you are full of hope, even if you don't want to admit it. But facts are facts, and they had already expected that Shen Du had already been killed. In case of the worst outcome, they are also mentally prepared.
Fu Huaide closed his eyes and hid the deep guilt in his eyes. If it weren't for saving him, Shen Du wouldn't have fallen off the deep cliff of Wuling. It's just that even if he was the general of the Western Xinjiang Guard, he couldn't have imagined that for the sake of a shenglie, Xisheng would have such a big movement!
Not only did tens of thousands of people make the illusion of invading, but they also quietly sneaked into the Fog Ridge, just to get Sheng Li. It's just to get the Fog Ridge vein.
Fortunately, there is a plan. There are also plans that have been thought out for a long time. But no matter how well you plan, you can never keep up with change. Who would have thought that Sheng Lie would rebel against the army!
Scenes flashed in Fu Huaide's eyes. That was all after Shen Du came to Western Xinjiang......
When Shen Du and Lu Fengde and his party came to Western Xinjiang. It's already mid-June. From Jingzhao to Western Xinjiang. It took them a month and a half.
Without him, because along the way, they suffered countless ambushes. Ambush from Xisheng.
I don't know if Xisheng wants to hold back Shen Du and the others, or if he wants to fish in troubled waters on the road and take the opportunity to rescue Sheng Lie. No matter what the reason, Lu Fengde and his party had to deal with these ambushes, although there was no major damage, but some people were still injured, and the trip was much slower than before.
These ambushes were incessant, and even at night when they were stationed in the camp, there were people who disturbed them, and people could not sleep well. Later, Zhang Xu was so angry that he jumped to his feet, eager to shoot all those people with a bow and arrow;
Not only him, but even Lu Fengde, a civil official, frowned, and every time there was an ambush, he shouted the loudest: "Kill me!" Let these bunnies not dare to appear again in the future! β
In such a nuisance and noise, the ones who were not affected at all were Shen Du and Sheng Lie. When those people were ambushed, Shen Du didn't make a move, but just leaned on the side of the carriage where Sheng Lie was imprisoned with his sword, with a faint smile on his face.
Sheng Lie, on the other hand, had no expression from beginning to end, watching these fights like an outsider, as if these ambushes were not aimed at him, as if he didn't care if he could be rescued. Even after a bow and arrow slammed into his faΓ§ade, his expression remained unmoved.
It was only after those bows and arrows were shot down that he said to Shen Du regretfully: "Lord Shen, I will have to trouble you to protect it in the future, I really don't want to go." β
I don't know if Xisheng changed a group of people or what, these ambushes changed from wanting to save Sheng Lie at the beginning, to killing Sheng Lie by all means. When Shen Du and the others were marching, they had to try their best to protect Sheng Lie.
Sheng Lie was related to the Wuling ore vein, and before going to Wuling, he would rather die than tell the true location of the ore vein. - This is his talisman, and it is also the reason why Shen Du and the others have to protect him.
In this regard, Shen Du smiled and replied, "It's okay. No matter what, we will protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It's just that it's possible to occasionally block a few arrows, or a few knives. β
Death, will definitely not let Sheng Lie die; But no one can say for sure.
After hearing Shen Du's words, Sheng Lie's complexion changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. In the midst of the screams and killings, these two people were talking in such a graceful manner that many people's jaws dropped.
Then, as Shen Du said, these ambushes were so frequent, Shen Du occasionally neglected his defense, missed a few arrows, and those clusters of arrows glowing with black light were about to hit Sheng Lie, so he lazily shot out, and shot down these arrow clusters with a few "bangs".
As for the sword that was not poisonous, Shen Du was even more relaxed. In an ambush, Xisheng's people had already killed Sheng Lie's carriage, and they also stabbed Sheng Lie in the shoulder, Shen Du just noticed as if he had just noticed, and let Sheng Lie suffer this knife.
Therefore, dealing with these ambushes all the way, it took Shen Du, Lu Fengde and others a lot of time to come to Western Xinjiang. When they came to the western frontier, in addition to the tired and tired team, there was also Sheng Lie with wounds.
Sheng Lie's injuries were not serious, and there was no danger of life, but skin breaks and blood flowed inevitably. There were many bumps along the way, and Sheng Lie was so painful that he could only snort, and he didn't care about pretending to be indifferent.
Seeing Sheng Lie's appearance, Lu Fengde and Zhang Xu's sullen breath dissipated, and they were more experienced in cleaning up those Xisheng meticulous works, so that they had no return.
After entering the Western Frontier, Fu Huailu had already brought the Western Frontier Guards to meet them. Thinking about it, Xisheng also knew that he couldn't do it anymore, so he disappeared completely.
Shen Du had already sent a letter to Fu Tong, explaining his plan in Wuling, so Fu Tong had already greeted Zhu Youji, the general of the Western Xinjiang Guard. This time, Fu Huailu took the soldiers of the Western Frontier Guard to cooperate with Shen Du.
The Fu family and Shen Du are finally close. However, when Fu Huailu saw Shen Du and his party, he forced a smile, what was going on?
