Chapter 431: The Dangerous Stream of the Valley
Under the cover of night, the two snuggled together quietly, and time seemed to have stopped flowing.
I don't know how much time passed, Yang Muyun suddenly sneezed, and when he opened his eyes, the morning light had appeared on the horizon, and the dark sky gradually became lighter.
"Mei'er......" When he turned his face, Yiren was no longer by his side, and he didn't know where he had gone. Yang Muyun stood up and looked around, the withered yellow grass was shivering in the cold wind, but there was no trace of people.
"Where will she go?" Yang Muyun was stunned for a while, and then went down the mountain along the way he came.
......
He quietly jumped in from the corner of the camp without alarming anyone. When I walked quickly to Yu Qian's felt tent, the sky was not yet bright. Leng Yifei was still standing straight at the door of the felt tent like a javelin, as if he hadn't even moved his position in the slightest, and when he saw Yang Muyun appear, he didn't speak, but his eyes were a little strange.
Yang Muyun didn't dare to look at his gaze, for fear that he would ask something, so he stood on the other side in front of the felt tent door.
After a while, the tent curtain was lifted, and Yu Qian walked out of it neatly dressed.
"Your Excellency." Yang Muyun bowed sideways.
"Hmm." Yu Qian bowed his head slightly, and ordered: "You go with me to the big tent." ”
"Yes." Yang Muyun responded.
......
"The second prince is not in it," said the guard in front of the golden-domed tent, "and where he has gone is not for people like me to know. ”
"What about His Highness Agadorji?" Yang Muyun asked again.
"I don't know, he should go to Lord Zizik, right?"
"My lord, look at this ......" Yang Muyun turned to Yu Qian.
Yu Qian looked up at the sky, the sun had just jumped above the horizon.
"It's still early, so I'll wait here for a while." Yu Qian said lightly.
The sun gradually rose, and people came and went in front of the big tent, looking at the three of them with a somewhat strange gaze, and the whispers were not lingering. Even the guards in front of the big tent looked at them with a strange look.
"My lord," Yang Muyun whispered in Yu Qian's ear, "It seems that they are deliberately avoiding you, and they will not come out to see you if you wait any longer." It's better to go back and think about it. ”
Yu Qian pondered for a while and nodded slightly.
......
When they returned to their felt tents, a large group of guards in armor stood in front of them, swords and arrows on their backs, glaring at the three of them.
Yang Muyun stared, exchanged glances with Leng Yifei, took a few steps, and blocked in front of Yu Qian.
"What are you going to do?" Yang Muyun asked coldly.
First, a burly guard wearing black iron armor stepped forward and stroked his chest and saluted: "Lord Yu, our Royal Highness has an invitation!" ”
"Which Highness?" Yang Muyun asked again with a vigilant expression.
"Of course, it is His Highness Timur," the black-armored guard said, "I heard that Lord Yu waited for His Highness the next morning, and he was very unhappy, so he specially ordered us to invite him." ”
"Is it only His Highness Timur?" Yang Muyun stared at him and said.
"And His Highness Agadorji and Lord Zizik," the black-armored guard said respectfully, "They are all equal to your lordship. ”
"Hmm," Yu Qian stepped forward and waved his hand to make Yang Muyun step aside, and said to the black-armored guard, "Then you can lead the way!" ”
......
The black-armored guards and a group of other guards led Yu Qian and the three of them to the gate of a camp, where a group of cavalry stood in a line, as well as dozens of unridden horses.
"Lord Yu," the black-armored guard stepped aside and looked at Yang Muyun and Leng Yifei again, "Three of you, please!" "It means to get the three of them on the horse.
"Didn't you lead Lord Yu to meet the two highnesses?" Yang Muyun looked at the cavalry waiting on his horse, and then looked at him and asked.
"The two highnesses and the county lord are hunting outside, so I would like to invite you to come and see each other." The Black-Armored Guard bowed and said.
"We?" Yang Muyun felt a strange feeling in his heart, and looked at Yu Qian, "Lord Yu ......"
"The two highnesses are kindly invited, and it would be rude if the official didn't go." Yu Qian smiled slightly, stepped forward and rode a horse.
Yang Muyun hesitated slightly, then heard Leng Yifei say: "Let's go, you can't hide from it if it's a blessing or a curse." When he saw that he had then mounted another horse, he followed suit
In the past, Shangma and Leng Yifei closely protected Yu Qian's left and right. The black-armored guards and a dozen other guards also mounted their horses, plus the forty or fifty cavalrymen, a total of sixty or seventy people escorted the three of them.
The group left the camp gate and ran into the vast field.
"Are you from the Chahar tribe?" Yang Muyun asked the black-armored guard on his galloping horse.
The black-armored guard seemed stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "We are all from the Tura Ross Division. ”
"Then whose guards are you, the second prince or the county lord?" Yang Muyun stared at him and asked again.
"Of course, the county lord," said the black-armored guard, "the county lord was afraid that he would snub you, so he let us lead you there." ”
"The two highnesses and the county lord are really in good spirits," Yang Muyun's words seemed to have an overtone, "I went out hunting early in the morning." ”
"This is our Mongol custom," said the Black-Armored Guard, "and many times Your Highness takes people out hunting before dawn. That's why you didn't see anyone when you went to the horde in the morning. ”
"That county lord, she's really clever," Yang Muyun said with a smile: "When I was hunting, I knew that we were going to visit your lord early in the morning, and I asked you to come and invite you." ”
"Our county lord is very smart, and she is naturally ...... Naturally, you'll be there in the morning. The Black-Armored Guard laughed too, but turned his face to the side.
The group did not know how far they had run, and the camp was left far behind until it was out of sight.
Yang Muyun raised his face to look at the sun in the sky, and said to the black-armored guard: "It seems that the two highnesses and the county lord have run quite far. ”
"That's the habit of the Mongols you don't know," the black-armored guard glanced at him and said, "It's not uncommon for us Mongols to hunt and run hundreds of miles a day on horseback. ”
"Oh?" Yang Muyun nodded as if he suddenly realized. The whip horse galloped a few steps, came to Yu Qian's side, and frowned, "My lord, my stomach hurts." He winced his eyes as he spoke.
"Did you have a bad stomach?" Yu Qian raised his hand and pulled the reins of the horse, causing the horse to slow down.
"I don't know," Yang Muyun also reined in the horse's reins, as if he was lying on the horse's back in pain, "It's convenient and convenient to come down." Glancing at Leng Yifei, who was very tacit and slowed down his horse at the same time, "Brother Leng, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine," Leng Yifei met his gaze, "but I also want to be convenient." ”
As the three of them spoke, they distanced themselves from the guards and cavalry in front of them.
Seeing that they were lagging behind, the people in front also slowed down.
"What's going on?" The Black Armor Guard asked, looking back.
"Two of my subordinates want to get off the horse and find a convenient place." Yu Qian said to him.
The Black-Armored Guard nodded, and said something in Mongolian, and everyone turned their horses and split their heads from both sides to make a circle around the three of them.
"They are very strict in their precautions," Yang Muyun whispered to Leng Yifei when he got off the horse, "It seems that this group of people is not good." It's not like they took us to meet the two highnesses and the county lord. ”
"If you don't say that, will Lord Yu come out with them?" Leng Yifei didn't feel so surprised.
"What do you think they want to do?" Yang Muyun asked.
"Want to know?" Leng Yifei glanced at him, "You ask them to go." ”
"Are they trying to find a place to assassinate the adults?" Yang Muyun lowered his voice very low.
"We've been fish on the chopping board since we came here," Leng Yifei's face remained unmoved, "It depends on when they cut it off." ”
"Does your injury matter now?" Yang Muyun looked around and asked in a low voice.
"It's not a problem to deal with this group of people." Leng Yifei said indifferently.
"But what about adults?" Yang Muyun was a little worried, "He doesn't know martial arts, it's not easy to protect him." ”
"What are your plans?" Leng Yifei asked in a low voice.
"I'll block them, you wait for the opportunity to take Lord Yu away quickly." Yang Muyun said in a deep voice.
"How?" Leng Yifei raised his eyelids, "There are sixty or seventy of them, so you can completely separate a few people to entangle you, and then stop me and Lord Yu." They all rode horses and carried bows and arrows on their backs, so when they saw that the situation was not right, they could spread out and attack from a distance with arrows, and it was not easy for even martial arts masters to retreat! Squinting into the distance, "The terrain here is flat and the view is wide, if you want to run, they will bite you to death, and it will not be easy to get out." ”
"So what do you say?" Listen to him
As soon as Yang Muyun said it, he didn't have a rut.
"Let's take one step at a time," Leng Yifei said, "Now we can only act on the opportunity." ”
"Look at the direction, they are taking us north," Yang Muyun bit his lip, "I'm afraid that they have set a trap ahead, just wait for us to get in." ”
"Then let's drill and try," Leng Yifei glanced at the people around him, and saw that they had put their hands on the back of the bow and the quiver, and the corners of his lips hooked, "If you and I act rashly now, I'm afraid they will shoot us into hedgehogs in an instant." ”
The black-armored guard on the horse was a little impatient, "Are you all alright?" You must know that His Highness and the county lord are waiting in front! ”
"Okay, okay," Yang Muyun shouted at him, "Our Lord Yu can't bear to ride on the horse for a long time, and we want to rest here for a while." ”
"Let's go to the front and rest," the black-armored guard said coldly, "It's not far from the place where His Highness and the county lord are hunting." ”
————————————
After galloping north for a while, several undulating peaks appeared in front of him, Yang Muyun's eyebrows frowned, and he looked at the black-armored guard, "Are Your Highness and the county lord in that mountain?" ”
"Of course," the corners of the Black Armor Guard's mouth curled, "the prey on the grassland usually hides in the mountains when they are hunted, let's go quickly, maybe Your Highness and the county lord have finished their hunt." ”
Yang Muyun's heartstrings tightened, and he turned the reins of the horse to slow down the horse's speed, so that he and Leng Yifei could go hand in hand.
"What should I do?" He said in a low voice: "It seems that they want to do it in front, do we and Lord Yu still want to go over?" ”
"It's easier to hide in the mountains," Leng Yifei narrowed his eyes, "It's not like on this grassland, there is no cover." ”
"There are sixty-four people following us," Yang Muyun's gaze swept around, "I don't know how much is hidden in the mountains?" ”
"There won't be a lot," Leng Yifei looked at him and said, "They will hide, and so can we." As long as you can hide Lord Yu in a safe and secret place, you and I can show our strengths. ”
Yang Muyun nodded, and rode his horse closer to Yu Qian, "Lord Yu, it seems that this group of people is likely to be unfavorable to you." It is estimated that you will make a move when you enter the mountain in front," the voice was so low that only two people could hear it, "once you start to do it, you will find a place to hide, and wait for the lowly and cold guards to solve them, and then take you away." ”
Yu Qian's face was silent, and he only said softly, "You and the cold guards are careful." Looking at his calm face, it seems that he has already seen through the other party's motives.
Walking closer, Yang Muyun found that these mountains are not very high, there are some trees sparsely growing on the mountains, due to the cold and freezing, the leaves on the trees have fallen away, only bare branches and trunks are left, and there are not many stones on the mountain, it is not easy to hide people, even so, he and Leng Yifei still have twelve points of vigilance.
The group entered through a mountain pass, which was not open, with a slope on each side extending to the top of the mountain. The hollow valley is silent, without any sound of birds and beasts.
"A good place chosen by His Highness and the county lord," Yang Muyun smiled leisurely, "It seems that their harvest must be great, right?" ”
The Black-Armored Guard snorted and didn't speak.
The mountain road in front of it became narrower and narrower, and steep rocks were exposed on both sides. Yang Muyun and Leng Yifei glanced at each other, reined in their horses and stopped moving forward.
The black-armored guard's forehead furrowed, and he was about to speak, when he saw Yang Muyun turn to him, his eyes were like sharp arrows, "Who asked you to lure us here?" What is the plot? ”
The black-armored guard was startled, and was about to touch the saber on his waist, when he suddenly felt a cold on his neck, and a sharp blade of Senhan had been placed on it.
"If you don't want to die, just say it." Leng Yifei said coldly behind him.
The black-armored guard opened his mouth, and with a "whoa" an arrow plunged into his throat, and he fell from his horse on his back. Not good, Yang Muyun pushed Yu Qian off the horse, jumped up from the horse, the double-edged knife had been pulled out, drawing a long arc of light, and several cavalrymen fell off the horse screaming.
This is the narrowest place between the two mountains, dozens of cavalry are crowded here, and they are slashed and killed by Yang Muyun and Leng Yifei, and more than twenty are solved in a moment. Suddenly two rows of archers appeared on the hills on either side, drawing their bowstrings and raining arrows downward.
"Quick, go and protect your lordship." Yang Muyun shouted at Leng Yifei.
Leng Yifei glanced at it, only to see Yu Qian hiding under the horse's belly, the arrows were nailed to the horse's back, and the horse screamed and fell. He didn't hesitate, stepped forward and picked up Yu Qian and rushed towards a slope.
