Chapter 179: Threat
Seeing the little girl's back disappear into the dense mist, everyone was startled.
Fang Fu was stunned, raised her feet and was about to chase, but as soon as she took two steps, she heard her brother crying, and hurriedly returned to hug her baby brother, hesitated for a while, and didn't chase after her.
At this time, it was already late at night, and there were barbarians raging at the bottom of the mountain, and the mountain road was also bumpy.
Zhou Yufeng turned his head to look at his husband.
Yang Yunqiu opened her eyes and said calmly: "We have done our best to save people back, if anyone does not listen to the command and insists on looking for death, I have no choice but to let her go." ”
Zhou Yufeng sat down very simply, and didn't look at Fang Fu's increasingly red eyes, in fact, he knew in his heart that if this girl wasn't really unbelievably unlucky, she wouldn't have died if she crashed under the barbarian's knife, she couldn't even run out of the back mountain, with her ability, she wouldn't even be touched by the killing array, at most she would be trapped in the phantom array.
Anyway, Zhou Yufeng looked at the little girl very unpleasantly, so let her learn a lesson, maybe she can learn to be a man, which is also a good thing.
It's just a sudden change that makes the already restless people even more in a trance.
The most painful thing is the moment when the knife is on the neck, but it has not yet fallen.
Now, presumably, that is the moment.
I could vaguely hear the sound of the barbarians' horses' hooves, and looking from afar, the once flowery capital, their proud homeland, had been trampled by the barbarians' iron hooves, the flames were soaring, and the smell of blood could be smelled ten miles away.
Spend the night trembling.
The barbarians did not find a camp, they did not even come up the mountain, and they still wander around the foot of the mountain.
Yang Yunqiu stood up. Raise your eyes and look far away. Through the fog. Looking at the capital from afar, he suddenly felt a little sad, he stayed in one place for a long time, and when he left, about everyone would feel sad.
The sky is bright.
Many of Yamashita's students who spent the night in the capital returned one after another.
Yang Yunqiu took the roll call, a total of twenty-five teams, all of them arrived. Three people were lost, more than a dozen were injured.
Before today, they were children, but at this moment, standing on the top of the mountain, facing the rising sun, there are already traces of blood and fire on their faces, these people can no longer be called children.
Yang Yunqiu is okay, the two gentlemen who have stayed in the school for the longest time. But he couldn't help crying, especially when he heard Wang Meng holding a long knife. Sitting on the stone and talking nonsense with Cui Huaixin - "Don't you see, at a moment's notice, I went down with a knife, just cut off the barbarian's arm, and another knife, directly broke his neck and saved the old man Zhao, otherwise, the old man who fought would have been killed." ”
Mr. Wow Wow Cry.
Wang Meng's age is not the youngest in the school, but he is definitely the least courageous, he used to exercise in the morning, so that he didn't get out of the dormitory before dawn, and he had to drag a classmate to accompany him, otherwise he didn't dare to go out of the school, but now, he can even kill people.
Yang Yunqiu smiled: "What are you crying about......" He suddenly remembered Li Bai's chivalrous song, although it was very cheesy, but at this moment, he could only think of that one.
“…… Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles. Brushing off the clothes and going away, hiding deep with the name. Idle over the letter tomb drink, take off the sword and kneel forward. will scorch Zhu Hai and persuade Hou Huan. Three cups of Turannuo, Wuyue is light. After the eyes are dazzled and the ears are hot, the spirit is born. Saving Zhao with the golden mallet, Handan was shocked first. Two strong men in Qianqiu, Xuanhe Daliang City. The bones of the arson are fragrant, and he is not ashamed of the world. Who can read the book, the white head is too Xuanjing......"
Yang Yunqiu chanted several times.
The students have a lot of allusions that they don't understand, just think it's the old things of the previous dynasty, they don't know, but they can understand the artistic conception in the poems, and when Yang Yunqiu chanted twice, gradually many students' voices also converged into a torrent.
For a time, the entire camp was "Chivalrous Journey".
The sound passed through the sky, and many barbarians who were stranded at the foot of the mountain also heard these voices, and they were shocked for a while, and the leader of the barbarians who took the lead, the clan brother of Wenren Eagle, and Wenren Aqian, actually had a trace of fear in their hearts.
He used to follow the side of Wenren Eagle, and he was not less bloody, and he never knew what it meant to be afraid, but this time, he actually had that feeling of noisy heartbeat.
Taking a deep breath, Wenren Ah Qian said coldly: "Cheer up, I don't believe it, I have leveled this mountain inch by inch, and I can't catch a few mice." ”
The barbarians once dominated the Central Plains, as many as a hundred years, and in those hundred years, although they burned books, killed literati, and destroyed civilization, but the language of the barbarians was also unconsciously assimilated by the Han people.
I didn't want to hear it, but I drilled into my ears.
Hearing this, Ah Qian wanted to go all out and follow the sound, but the voice flickered left and right, forward and backward, and stepped into the battle twice in a row, step by step, more than 20 people were killed and injured, and he had to stop and dare not break in again.
Gradually, those barbarians couldn't help but be a little enthusiastic.
If Yang Yunqiu knew that he could still encourage the barbarians by reading Li Taibai's poems, I don't know what he would think in his heart? Maybe Li Taibai is alive, and he has to strangle him.
The sun comes out, and a fire is made to make food.
Yang Yunqiu asked all the wounds to be bandaged, and they were full of food and drink, and then continued to go up the mountain.
Those ordinary people followed in a daze, but those who had read books, or the so-called nobles who had more status and status, said: "Why do you want to go up the mountain? ”
"Yes, we should find a way to get out of this mountain no matter what, the barbarians are about to catch up, and when they come up, we can't leave if we want to."
"Mr. Yang, if Mr. is willing to send me back to Wuzhou, I will definitely thank you heavily."
The students of the academy couldn't help frowning, Yang Yunqiu hadn't spoken yet, Cui Huaixin had already said angrily: "Don't daydream, it's just been a few heavy rains, the mountain roads are muddy, and there are only two roads that can really go down the mountain, and now they are heavily guarded, if you go from other roads, not to mention the weak, even if you are strong, you can't guarantee safety." Again. What if it goes down? Outside it's all barbarians raging. How far can you run? The only thing we can do now is to wait for reinforcements, and Your Majesty will definitely bring reinforcements back to the capital, and the time will not be very short. ”
But how could these people be willing to listen to Cui Huaixin's words.
"A few months ago, the court discussed the matter of moving the capital again, maybe His Majesty moved the capital directly and gave up Fangzhou, Fangzhou was not very suitable for the capital. Now that the barbarian army has not arrived, we may still have a chance. When the barbarian army arrives, where will we survive...... Anyway, I'd rather die than be a barbarian prisoner of war. ”
Barbarians treat Han people, in addition to killing, that is, as slaves, both of which most people are not happy to accept.
Yang Yunqiu still said that those who want to go down the mountain can go by themselves, but they only act according to the set goals. It's also about saving more people.
Truth be told, what these people say is not without reason. It's just a matter of choice, if Yang Yunqiu is bringing a group of soldiers, or even some middle-aged men, he may really suggest that everyone leave the capital, join Wu Mi, and look back to the future, but now, in their crowd, there are few real middle-aged men, mostly women and the elderly, and children, in terms of their physical condition, where can they escape the pursuit? Obviously, if he really wants to go down the mountain, it means that Yang Yunqiu must give up the lives of these people, this kind of thing, he is unwilling to do it, besides, the danger of escaping is not as small as honestly hiding in school.
At least stay in the school, with the protection of the magic circle, the barbarians will definitely not be able to enter.
Yang Yunqiu insisted on going back to school, and his students all agreed, but the few who opposed it really didn't have the courage to insist on going down the mountain by themselves, so they had to follow.
After about two hours of trekking, I finally saw the walls of the academy.
The high fence and the barbed wire fence outside the fence, although everyone did not know what these barbed wire fences were for, many people were still relieved.
Unexpectedly, the academy was built like the Wu Fort, which was not worse than the family's Wu Fort, and maybe it was even stronger.
Even if the barbarians came up, they were not without the strength to resist, and since there was no other way, they had to comfort themselves.
Yang Yunqiu asked the students to assign a room, because there were so many people, they could only squeeze it.
This time, no one made trouble, and there was no strength to make trouble, and everyone fell down and fell asleep with their heads covered, and even if they couldn't sleep, they had to lie down and rest.
Everyone was settled and everything was going well, the only problem was the food.
Fortunately, Yang Yunqiu had already taken precautions, this is a school again, and a large amount of food is stored, but if so many people eat together, I am afraid it will be able to support more than ten days.
The students obviously didn't think about it so much, but said: "It's a big deal to go up to the mountains to hunt a dozen game, and besides, there are so many wild fruits and weeds in the mountains after summer, I am not afraid of starvation." ”
I am not afraid of starvation, I want to eat well, but it is a little difficult.
Nowadays, you can't eat pure white rice, you can only mix it with wild vegetables and raw melons, and you can eat it improvised, and the dishes are also big pot dishes, which are not as delicate as before.
Eat one or two meals, everyone is nervous, no appetite, and can't feel it, the common people at this time, usually can't eat enough, now fleeing, can eat two dry meals a day, is quite happy, really can't stand it, can't eat at all, can't eat, only about those who are from noble families.
The kitchen was worried about cooking, and the cooks counted a few meters, added a lot of wild vegetables, and were a little sad, frowning: "Otherwise, add less wild vegetables?" Many people are afraid that they will not be used to it. ”
“…… I don't know how long Lu Dao will hide here, the food is saved to eat, and the money from selling the grain is all from the academy, they follow the food and drink, where can they still pick and choose, don't worry, you can eat anything for two days when you are hungry. ”
Yang Yunqiu herself has never experienced the taste of starvation, but many employees in the school are from the homeless people, and they are so hungry that they can't even eat their own internal organs, and they have not experienced it.
Three days passed.
It's only three days, in fact.
In the past, it was an outing, and many sons and daughters of rich and noble families led Huang Huang and Qing Cang on the right, and they played for three or five days, and they didn't feel how difficult it was in the mountains, but today, it is like a year.
Finally, the sentinel down the hill came back with news.
"The barbarians under the mountain are scattered, sir, look, they are really scattered."
Sure enough, at least a third of the bones were left, and the barbarians scattered.
There is no way to stay, or because the strength of the circle is really not enough. Yang Yunqiu first wanted to ensure that they would never be able to walk to the front of the school. The Lost Array is the most important. The power of the killing array naturally needs to be weakened.
For insurance, he even deliberately left the back door to go down the mountain.
It is easier to go down the mountain than to go up to the mountain.
After three days of nervousness, this time when he heard that the threat under the mountain had finally receded, the entire academy was cheering, Yang Yunqiu frowned, and he always felt that it was not normal. So he gave the doll a look.
The doll easily found that a large number of barbarians had not gone far at all, and these people probably also had an idea to lure the snake out of the hole.
"The barbarians are ambushing at the foot of the mountain, so it's better for everyone to stay on the mountain for the time being."
Yang Yunqiu directly shouted in a loud voice.
However, there were not many people who listened this time, only some of the friends who had a close relationship with Yang Yunqiu and trusted his ability very much, and honestly stayed on the mountain.
The others had already packed up and picked up everything they could and scattered in a hurry.
Let's be honest. It's really not nice to be trapped on a barren mountain. Even if this place was a first-class academy that everyone longed for before, the so-called stubborn defense was a way that was thought of after there was no way out, but as long as you can leave the unlucky capital, everyone still wants to go.
Moreover, they are now out of the city gates.
This is outside the capital, find a way to hide, mix in the homeless people, I can't really escape, even if it is a barbarian, it will not kill people when they see it, what is the point of killing them all?
People first went to loot some food, and you fought for it, and it was a mess.
The students turned blue with anger.
Yang Yunqiu smiled bitterly: "Don't care, how much can they take?" ”
The mountain road is difficult, you can't walk the carriage, it all depends on your personal strength, even if there is more food, these people can't take it, Yang Yunqiu thought about it, and simply asked the kitchen to get more dry food for them.
I don't know if these people can cook rice without having to bring a heavy pot and get more food.
Although the way down the mountain is much easier, the magic circle is still working, and they may not be able to go down smoothly, maybe after a few laps on the mountain, they will all want to open.
After thinking about it, Yang Yunqiu still quietly sent two sentinels to follow, in case these people really went down the mountain, they could also inquire about the news, if they couldn't go down, they would have the intention of coming back, and someone would lead the way.
Doing this, Yang Yunqiu felt that he had done his duty.
Even if you want to do good deeds, it depends on whether the lord is willing to accept your kindness, and if people don't want to accept it, you can't force the other party.
Only about some of the truly intelligent people, and those who have really seen the wonders of this sacred mountain a few years ago, are not willing to leave like this.
Besides, thinking that the barbarians couldn't go up the mountain after three days of walking around the mountain, even if they didn't know that those barbarians still left a corpse, they always had a little more confidence in this magical mountain.
These people lived in peace and quiet, and they were not idle, and when they had nothing to do, they went to the safe area designated by the students of the academy to help pick wild vegetables and catch some small beasts.
Many people are gone, and there is still a surplus of food on the mountain.
On this day, it was quiet.
When night fell, all the old and young in the academy gathered in the cafeteria, directly made a big pot and boiled a pot of stew, threw all the grains into it, and the seasonings were also rare to put a lot of them, and the taste was okay.
One person and one big bowl, even the girls who eat and eat cats on weekdays can't help but gobble up and eat a lot.
It's hot and filling, and on such a bleak night, there is actually some warm atmosphere.
At this time, I didn't care about the difference between men and women for a long time, and the girls got together in a pile, sewing and mending with candles, and there were men by their side, so they still had some sense of security.
Unfortunately, warm moments are always very short - clang.
The door opened, and a sentry rushed in in embarrassment, panting heavily: "Sir, the big thing is not good, the barbarians set up an ambush at the foot of the mountain and caught a lot of ordinary people, not only from our academy, but also from the capital, a large number of people were arrested, and now at the foot of the mountain, it looks like they are going to throw themselves into the oil pot, and they are about to blow up people!" ”
There was a sudden silence in the cafeteria.
Yang Yunqiu put down the dishes and chopsticks and smiled bitterly in her heart.
He could vaguely guess such an outcome, but what could he do?
"Go and be safe."
Those sentry agents are all Jianghu people that Yang Yunqiu asked the Gao family to help collect, as well as students in the school who are good at kung fu, especially those who are good at light skills, and he taught some hidden skills.
These people's martial arts may not be first-class, but when it comes to hiding and listening to news, they are all good hands.
The sentinel answered, and went out again.
The people in the cafeteria, but they could no longer calm down, and the sound of sobbing and sobbing gradually sounded.
People here, can be a family together, it is rare, most of them are separated from the family, even if there are lucky parents together, but other brothers and sisters, the old and young in the clan, it is impossible to get together, everyone's worries about their relatives are not at all, how can you not be sad to hear such news at this time?
Yang Yunqiu didn't persuade much, but said: "Let's all go to rest, the barbarians specially brought people to the foot of the mountain, I'm afraid they want to threaten us, panic is a big taboo at this time, everyone should not go down the mountain casually." ”
It's another sleepless night.
The sentinels came back almost every half an hour to report back.
"Sir, the barbarian leader kept shouting at the bottom of the mountain, saying that he wanted to meet the master of the mountain, if the master was willing to go down the mountain for a while, he was willing to let go of the people, and if the master did not give face, don't blame him for being rude."
Cui Huaixin stood up with a slap, and casually picked up the bow and arrow on the wall: "Bastard-sir, let's go fight with them, I don't believe it, those barbarians still have three heads and six arms?" There are a lot of our people, and it doesn't necessarily mean that we can't rush out of the city to join the army of the imperial court. (To be continued......)
PS: It's not easy to catch up.
