Chapter 84: Waiting for the Rabbit
Chapter 47: Waiting for the Rabbit
The sky is high and the clouds are light, the sun is hot, and the horse team on the ground is more like being in a furnace, slowly moving forward step by step, and the ladies in the carriage have already gotten off the car, cautiously looking at the mountain wall.
All the guards surrounded Shi Lan, Zhang Xu and Lian Zhen in the middle, holding the round shield tightly in their hands, their arms slightly bent, and the shield upward, ready to deal with the surprise attack from above.
As for what this raid was, no one could have predicted, the canyon was about three kilometers long, and it was not impossible to get through Guò at full speed, but it was almost impossible for the galloping horses to dodge it if they were to stumble and roll the woods.
In the Three Kingdoms in later generations, Sima Yi was trapped in the upper valley, or Pang Shiyuan died tragically and fell into Fengpo, although it is only a novel, it also clarifies that ambushes in the canyon have always been common sense.
If you stupidly plunge into it, you may end up being played by others and there will be no bones left.
And in this side of the world, there is also a painful lesson for the canyon, and those who have experienced it firsthand are in this side of the horse team.
"Big brother...... Ever since I entered this canyon, my eyelids have been jumping, and I always feel ...... the same as the original Boundless Priest."
Halfway through speaking, Wulu's wording was stuck in his throat, because he couldn't face the hot eyes of his eldest brother, the three brothers were all descendants brought out by Jin Wuya, the priest of Ziwei in the previous generation, but unfortunately in the battle many years ago, Jin Wuya was betrayed by Xiao Weiyang, and died tragically under the ambush of Meng Tian.
At that time, the ambush was set up at the place of a canyon, and there were many mountains in Shu, and the canyon at that time was more narrow and steep than today. As a result, Meng Tian 'made dumplings'. Less than thirty people escaped with numerous casualties, and the three of them were three of the survivors.
After two whole years, whenever I closed my eyes, I would see my old brothers coming to me with their hair disheveled and skinny, not to seduce the soul, but to complain, urging me to find out the spy and kill Meng Tian. For many years, they didn't sleep a single night, and two years later, Yu Ziqi came forward in person, and they got better.
But every time the brothers died, such a scene still lingered in their minds, and it could not be dispersed for a long time, and after so many years, the three brothers did not know how much gray hair and how much wine they drank. How many tears did this iron-like man shed after he was drunk, and for many years, every time the brothers died, they stayed up all night.
Just light a fire. Burn a jar of wine, drunk all night, in recent years, the thirty brothers of that year. The dead are dead, the sick are almost gone. The wine is even more bitter.
Now Meng Tian is far away in the border stopper, and the traitor Xiao Weiyang is also dead, but every time the three brothers see the canyon, they will think of the scene back then, they will think of the high priest Jin Wuya who died with dozens of arrows in his body, and they will all think of Yu Chengtian, the sect master of Shushan, who was seriously injured but did not retreat, this is not only a memory, but also a demon.
Perhaps one day it can only be washed away with the blood of the Meng family.
——恘——
A sharp whistling attracted everyone's attention, everyone's hands couldn't help but tremble, and their eyes looked out, but it was just an eagle flying high, making a proud chirp, echoing in the valley but it was extremely sharp, like a sharp crossbow arrow cutting through the sky, no one knew what it meant.
Yes!
A scream pulled all eyes back.
The shield shattered, the sword broke, an extra cut in the neck, and a life was lost.
No one saw who did it, and no one even noticed how the fatal wound on the neck came about, and everyone was horrified, with such a means, with such a speed, with such a timing.
It's incredible to be able to avoid everyone's eyes and ears.
"Lian Zhen sacrifices to the lord, the shield is instantly broken by the strong internal force, the wound on the neck is a knife wound, the blade flashes, and it will never be delayed."
After inspecting the corpse, a disciple of Shushan reported to the Lian Zhen sacrifice in a decent manner, but the cold sweat on his head could be seen by anyone, and it was obvious that in the face of an unknown enemy, the fear in his heart was inevitable.
"It looks like the enemy, planning to cat and mouse!" Xie Cangyu clenched his fists, and he was angry in his heart, when had Shushan been teased like this.
This kind of method is actually very similar to the way the Blue Wolf King dealt with Tianming and them at the beginning, using the advantage of the shadows to silently kill the living force, create panic, and disturb the morale of the army, if the heart is scattered, it will be a big trouble.
Smelling the smell of blood coming with the wind, Shi Lan frowned slightly, and leaned slightly closer to Zhang Xu, "Sister, what should I do now?" ”
Zhang Xu put the scattered hair behind his ears, squatted down slightly, looked carefully at the wound of the corpse, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, he always felt that there was something wrong with this knife wound, but he couldn't remember for a while, what was going on, Shi Lan couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw Zhang Xu inspecting the corpse so carefully, but he didn't ask much, in fact, the two didn't intersect much, just because Zhang Xu and Yan Hong treated her mother together when she was a child, Shi Lan called her a sister.
The left hand was attached to the neck of the deceased, the body was turned sideways, and a careful look was made, there was a dark little red dot in the center of the neck, which was instantly punctured by a sharp instrument The neck artery, and then it was pulled out at a very fast speed, which would cause the scar, so why do you want to cut off the trachea in one fell swoop?
In the haze, Zhang Xu had a clue. "Miao Ge, if you meet later...... To be ...... ...... like this" Sticking to Shi Lan's ear, Zhang Xu whispered for a while, Xie Cangyu was on the left, and Lian Zhen was on the right, which was perfect to block everyone's sight, and no one noticed Zhang Xu's movements. "I see, sister, don't worry, I'll pay attention." Shi Lan's eyes crossed a clear understanding, giving Zhang Xu a reassuring look, and his favorability unconsciously increased by one.
"Keep walking!"
Shi Lan and Zhang Xu each stabilized their own people and slowly moved forward, this time, the team did not tighten tighter, but pulled wider, no one knew why they did this, the only thing that could be found was that the princess of Shushan did not object, and the priest of Lian Zhen and the priest of Si You did not object.
Gradually, it seems that this team began to be headed by Zhang Xu, the former head of the dark night, even if she recovers her daughter, she still can't hide the ability and calmness she has accumulated over the years.
………………
Outside the canyon, thirty miles in front of Zhang Xu, a man in a black leotard with a slightly pale face leaned against a tree branch, squinting slightly.
A mysterious character with dark qualities, the body is full of danger that cannot be ignored, and the tight-fitting design of the whole body, coupled with the fluffy black feather shawl, reflects his graceful and charming temperament. The delicate treatment of the unique lines on the bottom of the eyes and the lines and patterns on the clothes, coupled with the rugged belt and metal ornaments on the wrists, waist and boots, shows the person's domineering charm, toughness and neatness.
"Commander, the guests have arrived." Under the tree, three white figures emerged, with wide cloaks and trench coats as their only features.
"Don't worry, the distinguished guest has arrived, the evil guest has not yet arrived, waiting for ......"
"No!"
The white shadow flashed, only a piece of dust remained under the tree, the smell of wine was faint, and the man poured himself a drink. (To be continued......)
