Chapter 43: Strange Clouds [4]

Only then did I see that the clouds at the head of the ridge were like covers, and the snow was like dust on the ridge. Thousands of peaks, bamboo shoots, thousands of jade, thousands of trees, pineapples, and thousands of clouds.

The snow was still falling, at first, it was falling unhurriedly, and then it was suddenly fast; Suddenly, slowly; Suddenly it grows; Suddenly small. The wind was mixed with snow, and the clusters were blowing one after another. What a beautiful little snowflake. Scattered and falling, small, thick, soft, and light, just like the noble white swan gently fluttering its wings, pieces of small feathers, fluttering down. Then, the little snowflakes became bigger, thicker, and denser, and they wanted to shake the jade tree qionghua in the sky vigorously, and the white and flawless petals flew down. I saw snowflakes falling from the sky one after another.

Snowflakes fall on the canopy, which seems to be clothed in a white veil; Snowflakes fall on the house, which seems to be wearing a big white hat; Snowflakes fall on the mountain road, which is like a white scarf; Snowflakes fell all over the earth, and the earth was like a thick quilt.

As far as the eye can see, some snowflakes are falling straight down like meteors; Some of the snow was as light as the wind, as white as the veil, fluttering and swaying; There are also snowflakes like silver beads, like small raindrops and like willow flowers, exquisitely clear, pink carved jade, white as jade, have hung up the white vast snow curtain for us. Crystal snowflakes are piled up on the trees bit by bit.

Standing on this thick and white snow at this moment, I can no longer see the blood flowing in the past, the ruins and broken walls, the only thing that can be seen is a series of footprints of different shades left behind me, a gust of wind, blowing away the swan feathers, gradually revealing two slender figures.

One white and one purple, the two delicate big curtains firmly wrapped the two young men, and there was no trace of falling snow on the two of them, even the hair bun was as black as ink, perfect, although the steps were slow, but every step was so calm and solid, there was no staggering in the snow on the ground, obviously a rare martial arts master, and the true qi was not invaded by the cold and heat.

After walking slowly for nearly half an hour, the young man in white stopped, tightened the collar on his body and said, "Good and dignified, what are you bringing me here for?" ”

The purple-clothed young man who was questioned was not in a hurry, just stood quietly in place, as if waiting for something, but in this snowflake, everything was silent, what was worth waiting for a master who was one in a million?

"You say something, I don't want to follow you here to be cold!" The young man in white couldn't help but urge again when he saw that the other party hadn't spoken for a long time, and that he was still standing there with such an old god.

"Brother Zhang, don't be impatient, there is already reliable news in your hands, and there will be no mistakes, just wronged you, the young master of Bright Moon City, to wait here for a while longer, and there will be a good show to watch."

It turned out that the young man in white was Zhang Xu, but the young man in purple was Yan Hong.

The two of them are standing on a snow-deep rock wall at the moment, and below the rock wall full of ice ridges is a key road crossing up and down Shu Mountain, which can lead to all parties through here, among which there are three of the heaviest, one is to go north to the northwest to go to the Qin State Guanzhong, twenty to the east can go to the East China Sea Linzi, and the third is to go up the mountain through this to the inner city of Shu Mountain.

Therefore, the Qin army and the Shu army have heavy troops to fight here, which is why as long as there are people in and out of the Qin army or the Shu army, they can be seen clearly in this high place.

"Zihong, there are people in both armies who are proficient in the art of war, it is common sense not to use soldiers this winter, and now it is snowing heavily to close the mountains, how can anyone come out at this time?" Zhang Xu asked.

"That's right! As you pointed out, it is common sense to raise troops in this winter, so how could the people of Qin not know about it? Yan Hong asked rhetorically, this question, Zhang Xu was even more stunned, "Since you know this truth, and the people of Qin also know, why do you still want to come?" ”

"But have you ever thought that the Qin army was winning a big victory a while ago, if you don't take advantage of the victory to pursue at this time, and wait until the beginning of spring next year, can the Shushan faction, which has just suffered a loss, be so easy to capture?" Yan Hong continued to ask rhetorically.

"Uh......" Zhang Xu was stunned again when he heard it, but after thinking about it, he also felt that what Yan Hong said was good.

Yan Hong saw that he had a look of enlightenment, so he continued, "So I expect that Princess Yuyang will definitely think of taking advantage of the victory to pursue, so she will come here." Yan Hong said.

"I understand what you said, but how did you know that the princess of the Qin Kingdom would come here?"

"Huh...... What's this...... You can see it when you look down. Before the words fell, Yan Hong pulled his arms and pulled Zhang Xu to a thick pine tree to hide, moved his fingers, and pointed in a direction to ask Zhang Xu to look down.

Zhang Xu raised his eyebrows, looked at it fixedly, and sure enough, he saw a few figures under the mountain wall 'whooshing' galloping, the light skill was as fast as the wind, but it landed silently, and at first glance, there was no doubt that he was a master. "Hiss......" Zhang Xu's cold smoke was extremely long, but it was not because of the accuracy of Yan Hong's information, but because Zhang Xu clearly understood the identities of the two parties.

First, it is Princess Yuyang and Mrs. Xiang Junxiang, and secondly, it makes a set of exquisite Shushan body methods, just as dexterous and free as the ape, and is obviously a good hand in this.

"How could it be...... It's incredible! Zhang Xu looked at the current scene is incredible, Shushan has a long history and is extremely rigorous, I can't imagine that there will be such a collaborator who deceives the teacher and destroys the ancestors.

"Isn't that incredible?" Yan Hong smiled and asked, but he didn't wait for Zhang Xu to respond halfway through the sentence, and asked himself, "Sometimes, the reason why people are loyal is because the chips for betrayal are not enough, and more is because the ** is not enough, once the conditions are enough, loyalty...... It's just an empty word, not to mention that the net of heaven and earth of the Qin State is pervasive! ”

Zhang Xu listened to Yan Hong's words, he was silent for a long time, his eyes closed slightly, but he said coldly, "Is this also your principle of doing things?" ”

Yan Hong was stunned by the question, turned his head sideways, but found that Zhang Xu was looking at him so straightly, with a trace of sharp light in his eyes, as if he was examining his heart.

"If I say no, do you believe it?" Yan Hong just glanced at him so fixedly, and said without the slightest hesitation.

Zhang Xu was still silent, seeing that Princess Yuyang and her party stopped ten zhang apart from the people of Shushan, and walked step by step, and when the two people were facing each other, they heard Zhang Xu exhale a deep breath of turbidity, "I believe it!" ”

"Okay!"

A good word, Yan Hong and Zhang Xu both laughed.

……………………

Beneath the icy rock face.

Princess Yuyang and the people who walked down from the Shu Mountain came face to face.

The two people stared at each other quietly for a long time before Princess Yuyang said in a low voice.

"Have you thought it through?"

"Since Your Majesty is willing to come, it is natural that you have already thought about it very clearly, and Your Highness does not need to doubt this." This person was dressed in black, and his head was also covered with a pitch-black hat, so he couldn't see his face clearly, and the voice drifted to Yan Hong's ears along the direction of the wind, and he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.

But the princess of Yuyang didn't care about the black-clothed man's hidden outfit, she just smiled lightly and said, "So good, the first question in this palace is, is the Night Emperor of the Yin and Yang family still in Shushan?" ”

"Not here!"

Simple two words, the answer was extremely cold, even like a machine, in the dark, Zhang Xu glanced at Yan Hong with a smile, but Yan Hong didn't care about spreading his hands and continued to listen carefully.

"How much combat power does the Shushan faction still have now?" Princess Yuyang thought for a moment, then asked.

"Seventy percent!"

It was still a mechanical answer, but Yuyang was a little surprised, "Impossible...... This is absolutely impossible, how can such a fiasco still retain seventy percent of its combat strength. ”

"Believe it or not, I'm just telling the truth."

"Huh! Since you want to cooperate, don't be so stiff in your words. Xiangjun said on the side.

"It's just a lackey, the master hasn't spoken yet, why are you barking!" This voice was not loud, but everyone's faces changed because of it, even Yan Hong and Zhang Xu in the dark.

Yan Hong sneered, "This man in black has such a big shelf, I don't know if he really has two hits, or if he deliberately raised his own value." ”

Princess Yuyang's willow eyebrows were raised, her left palm poked out from her sleeve, and a chain between them swept away to take Yan Hong, who was in black.

Yan Hong and Zhang Xu looked at it for a while, although the power of this palm is not large, but there are nine changes in it, if the man in black wants to come to the bell Yuyang, he can take the opportunity to take his chest, if he comes to dismantle Yuyang, he can also grab the hand of the man in black with a backhand, how do you know that the man in black is just standing there and not moving, Princess Yuyang's palm wind came to the eyes, turned his palm into a claw, and with a light buckle, Yan Hong, who locked him, still didn't move.

"I have already said that everything I say is true, and it is up to you to believe it or not, not me." The man in black said this indifferently, but Yuyang's hand was loose.

"Then please continue, Hongu Xibai listens."

"Although the disciples of Shushan suffered losses in the battle of Shancheng the day before yesterday, but the twelve departments of Dutian were out, and the twelve priests of the temple did not show up in front of the battle, His Highness thinks that Shushan still has a lot of strength?"

"Yes!" Yuyang groaned for a while and said, "That is all [du] Heaven Twelve, is it really as powerful as rumored?" ”

"In what I said, I'm afraid Your Highness still won't believe it all, but I should just give Your Highness a wake-up call, if you meet it in the future, Your Highness will be careful."

"Good!" After Princess Yuyang finished speaking, she clasped her hands in her sleeves, and after a moment, she took out a short sword from her sleeves.

This short sword is silver-colored, and the scabbard has extremely fine plum blossom patterns, which is top-grade at a glance.

"This is a gift from this palace to your Excellency, please don't take the unpleasantness just now to your heart." As he spoke, he really held up the short sword with both hands and sent it to the man in black.

The man in black didn't speak, just nodded his head slightly, took the short sword, and didn't open it to check it, and directly took it into his arms, "Thank you." The answer was still like a machine, without the slightest emotion, two words came out, and with a force under his feet, between a few verticals, the man in black disappeared.

Princess Yuyang stayed in place quietly, and after about a stick of incense, the snow gradually became lighter, and she turned to leave.
