If it weren't for the task of chasing and killing Chengzong, this trip to Jinshan would definitely be the most enjoyable ascent in Qiu Ruofeng's life.

As a scholar, when he was in Chang'an in the past, he often climbed mountains with his classmates, and even risked his life to challenge Xiyue. However, each time it is along the mountain road explored by others; Every time, when I got to the end of the road, I turned back. There has never been a place like today, where there is no road, and I have to use my feet to "open" a shortcut!

The cost of taking a path that no one else has taken is huge. Soon, his clothes were worn out in many places, and his fingers, elbows, knees, etc., were also dripping with blood. However, he saw a lot of beautiful scenery that he had never seen before.

After climbing over a cliff, he once saw wildflowers on half of the hillside. It's all warm gold, like a sea of gold.

Somewhere, in front of a hillside that suddenly descended, he saw a steaming spring. The pink water is scattered in the surrounding puddles, resembling a peach grove in full bloom.

Next to a boulder, he saw vines full of blue flowers, from top to bottom, like a waterfall. Many butterflies the size of thumbs adorn the blue flowers, and when they hear the footsteps of people, they immediately rise into the air. In an instant, it feels like all the petals come to life, and the heavens and the earth are turned upside down.

Beside a naturally formed crevasse, he saw black blocks of ice, crisscrossing the crevice like wolf teeth. And the white cold air gushed out from the cracks, and then disappeared without a trace in the sunlight. It feels as if the gates of hell have suddenly opened, and countless ghosts have escaped, only to be wiped out by the sun.

At the mouth of a cave, he saw a pure red fox with round eyes, and there was not much fear in his eyes, but more curiosity about humans.

He saw goats grazing on cliffs, and he saw leopards hunting in mid-air. He saw flocks of wild pigeons flying under his feet like dark clouds. He saw the eagle and the hare fighting each other in a battle of wits and courage......

More often, what he saw was Yang Chengliang's vigorous figure. Like a blooming peony, it is like a burning flame. It always illuminates his eyes, and then makes him smoke like drinking wine.

He likes the feeling of being slightly drunk, and he also likes to walk side by side with each other. From time to time, show your vigorous skills and extensive knowledge.

However, the other party rarely gave him a good face and rarely talked to him. Even if you have to say it, it is a few simple words, such as: "Wild apples, eat, quench your thirst!" "The water is poisonous, don't drink it!" and so on, as if he were a baby who needed to be taken care of by an adult at all times.

This way of communication made Qiu Ruofeng very unconvinced. However, deep down, he had to admit that compared with Yang Chengliang and Ren Zhongheng, his survival ability in the wild was indeed much worse.

When he finds a gap, he wants to make up for it as soon as possible. However, it is often too fast to get there.

"Record, watch your step, moss!" Ren Zhongheng is much older than Qiu Ruofeng and Yang Chengliang, but he respects him and Yang Chengliang very much. Even if he finds out that he is distracted and making mistakes, he can only help and not make any verbal attacks.

The rope in his hand suddenly tightened, Qiu Ruofeng stood firm with the pull of the rope, and then thanked the two companions with a red face. Yang Chengliang only responded with a sentence of "don't look for death", then dropped the rope and strode towards the distance. Ren Zhongheng, on the other hand, made a sympathetic grimace at him while smiling and packing up the ropes.

"I wasn't distracted just now, I was startled by you!" Qiu Ruofeng suddenly felt empty in his heart, and explained with a red face.

"Well, definitely not! It's me reminding you that it's redundant! Ren Zhongheng was born to be a good man, and responded with a smile.

In this way, Qiu Ruofeng felt embarrassed. After thinking about it, he muttered quietly, "You are right, there is indeed moss on the stone, and it is very slippery." But I have seen it myself, not to slip. Anyway, thank you! ”

"My own brother, there's no need to say so many kind words!" Ren Zhong smiled and waved his hand, and then, he secretly glanced in the direction of Yang Chengliang, and while hurrying, he lowered his voice and added, "Don't blame Team Yang for not giving you a good face." In the barracks, there are rough old men all around. She is a little lady who has never allowed others, if she treats everyone with a smile, I am afraid that she will not be able to live her life. Every day, just annoyance, you have to be annoyed to death! ”

"Well, that's true!" When Qiu Ruofeng heard this, his heart became more and more empty, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and nodded solemnly. "I don't blame her. I didn't see her as a woman! She is more capable than me, and she should be more domineering. ”

"Brother is really a scholar, and his mind is open!" Ren Zhongheng listened convincingly, and directly gave a thumbs up.

Qiu Ruofeng was very embarrassed to be praised, and hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, "It has nothing to do with whether you read or not, a man in the army, you can see the real chapter under your hands." Which ability is greater, you will know it once you walk on the battlefield. In the morning by the riverbank, I could see her arrows clearly. ”

This reason is absolutely weighty, which makes Ren Zhongheng smile and nod again.

Even without considering gender differences, Yang Chengliang's archery skills are outstanding in the Broken Leaf Army. Everyone is now acting as archers, so naturally there is no reason not to be convinced.

"I'm telling the truth!" Qiu Ruofeng walked a few steps briskly and solemnly emphasized, not feeling that his emphasis was too much to add to the snake.

Ren Zhongheng is more than a round older than him, so he naturally knows why the snake foot comes from. So I didn't break it, just continued to hurry, and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Qiu Ruofeng finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and deliberately diverted the topic elsewhere, "I heard that Team Yang was dressed as a man and mixed into the barracks?" Isn't she Orion's daughter? Her grandfather and mother, is she really willing to suffer so hard? ”

"She is a local of Broken Leaves, and her parents have long since died at the hands of Suo Ge." Ren Zhongheng sighed, and a little sympathy immediately appeared on his face, "She escaped by pretending to be a man and herding sheep for Elder Tuqishi's family. So, after the town guard regained Shattered Leaf City, she joined the army in men's clothing! ”

"I see! She is worthy of being the first strange woman with broken leaves! Qiu Ruofeng only knew that there was a second Mulan in the Broken Leaf Army who was dressed as a man, but he didn't know that Yang Chengliang's life experience was so miserable, and he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

"Her grandfather has no ability, and he slashed at him with a knife, but he didn't know how to resist. Therefore, in addition to wanting revenge, she also vowed to learn the skills and protect herself when she joined the army! Ren Zhongheng glanced at Qiu Ruofeng, and there was a vague reference in his words. But who's such a big little lady doesn't want to be a bird, it's just that the man has to be strong enough. You can't become a relative in the future, and you have to hide behind her in case of trouble. Then what is the difference between her marrying and not marrying?! ”

"That's true!" Qiu Ruofeng first stroked his palms with a red face, and then his heart was on fire.

Although he is a scholar, his family background, temperament and preferences are somewhat similar to Wang Han. Rather than dancing and writing, I prefer to gain fame on horseback.

Therefore, purely in terms of skill, he, who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, is definitely no worse than those who have achieved rapid training in the military training regiment. If it is compared with the future, he, who has gone to Taixue, will definitely be brighter than the previous robes around Yang Chengliang!

I was about to say a few bold words to give myself courage. His arm was suddenly pulled by Ren Zhongheng, and when he followed closely, he saw the latter gently pouting at him. Qiu Ruofeng hurriedly closed his mouth and looked in the direction of the latter's mouth, only to see Yang Chengliang waving his arm to him, and then, bending down, like a predatory leopard, tiptoed towards the edge of the broken bi not far away.

"Keep up!" Knowing that Yang Chengliang did this, there must be a reason for it. Qiu Ruofeng took off the crossbow from his back, and also bent down and quickly leaned towards the edge of the cliff. When he regained his footing, he poked his head and looked down, and all the beautiful thoughts in his heart were immediately dispelled by the excitement.

Stop the enemy chieftain! The Great Khan of the Qarlu tribes, Chengzong, walked on the mountain road not far from his feet! And those cronies of Chengzong were so tired that they didn't have the energy to investigate the situation above their heads.

The head sent to the door, but it was disrespectful! Qiu Ruofeng quietly took two steps back, squatted down, grabbed the crossbow, and quietly shook the handle, ready to wind. Yang Chengliang and Ren Zhongheng also completely forgot about fatigue, and each occupied a position that was easy to hide, and quietly pulled the horn bow.

"Shhh......h Before Yang Chengliang could release the bowstring, the two warriors who looked exhausted had instinctively blocked in front of Chengzong.

"Whoosh-" Ren Zhongheng didn't have time to change his mind, and the feather arrow in his hand came out of the string, hitting a samurai in the chest. The warrior let out a muffled snort and fell to his knees. The companions beside him didn't have time to care about his life or death, so they didn't hesitate to push Chengzong with their butts and retreated quickly.

"Whoosh-" Knowing that his side had been exposed, Yang Chengliang no longer hesitated, and shot an arrow at the enemy on the mountain road. The elder of the Qarluq, who was trying to dodge under the horse's belly, shot him on the spot.

"There's an ambush, there's an ambush—" The rest of the samurai around Seongjong screamed loudly, firing arrows back as they quickly retreated. The chaotic feather arrows soon fell everywhere around the bodies of Yang Chengliang and the others.

"Put down your weapons, hand over Chengzong's head, Rao Er will not die!" Yang Chengliang took the second arrow and aimed at it while threatening in a loud voice in Turkic.

"Kill only one Chengzong, and the rest will not die." Qiu Ruofeng pulled the trigger and shot a warrior to death with a crossbow arrow, and then added in Tang Yan in a loud voice. "Don't be lucky, Datang's pursuers are waiting behind you."

"Don't think!"

"I'd rather fight to the death!"

"Protect the Great Khan, rush over together!"

……

The Qarluq warriors shouted loudly and anxiously searched for a solution. At the same time, he didn't forget to use bows and arrows to make trouble for Yang Chengliang and others.

Although they were in a disadvantageous position, and the feathered arrows they shot were not very accurate. But after all, it had an absolute numerical advantage, and soon, it moved back to some situations. And Yang Chengliang, Qiu Ruofeng and Ren Zhongheng, in order to avoid injury, had to take the initiative to transfer their positions. It often takes several breaths to seize an archery opportunity, and it is not possible to aim directly at Seongjong himself.

"Pull the horse over, let the Great Khan hide under the horse's belly, and hide in the stirrups. We rushed over with the reins of our horses! The pro-soldier Xiao Jian Qibiluo was in a hurry, and suddenly opened his throat and shouted.

A few soldiers who were loyal to Chengzong immediately understood what he meant. Pulling through a group of war horses in unison, they first pushed Seungjong onto the horse's back, and then let Seungjong step on the stirrup, hiding his body away from the side of the feather arrows that stood in the way. Finally, they took off their coats, put the tip of their knives on the top of their heads, and trotted forward in pairs with the reins of their horses.

This trick, although clumsy, has an immediate effect.

The feather arrows that Yang Chengliang shot down twice were blocked by the soldiers of Ge Lulu who were released to die with their clothes, and they could not shoot Chengzong's war horse. Although the crossbow arrows shot by Qiu Ruofeng had strong penetrating power, the reloading speed could not keep up, so he could only watch as the Qarlu Khan Chengzong hid on the side of the horse's belly and quickly approached the position at the feet of everyone.

"Hold me!" Suddenly, Qiu Ruofeng grabbed the reins of the horse, wrapped them around his waist twice, and then threw the other end of the reins to Ren Zhongheng.

Before the other party could figure out what he was going to do. He had already taken three steps and made two steps, running to a nearby rock the size of a millstone. Immediately, he pushed the side of the rock with both hands, and his feet and waist pole violently exerted force, "Hi-"

The rock shook, but it didn't move.

"Hey—" Qiu Ruofeng took a deep breath and exerted his strength again. On the young forehead, the green tendons bulged out in an instant, and the hot sweat was rolling.

"Come along!" Yang Chengliang decisively dropped the horned bow, ran to his side, and pushed his hands towards the rock.

"Hey-" In an instant, the blood in his whole body surged, and Qiu Ruofeng let out a loud roar again. The rock in front of him shook, left the place, and slowly rolled forward.

"You let go, be careful!" With a single sentence, he continued to exert all his strength, pushing the rock to speed up. In the blink of an eye, the rock was pushed to the edge of the cliff, and with a "boom", it fell straight down.

His body also lost its balance in an instant, and fell straight down. was pulled by Yang Chengliang and Ren Zhongheng together, and they pulled it back.

Without waiting for their legs to stand firm, the three of them poked their heads out at the same time and looked down. I saw that the big crushing rock landed in the middle of the mountain road under the cliff.

The two Qarluq warriors who walked in the forefront were directly smashed into pulp by the rocks. And the rest of the Qarlu warriors, along with the Khan medicine Glo-Chengzong whom they had sacrificed their lives to protect, all knelt on the mountain road, and no longer dared to move half a step forward, holding their heads in their hands one by one, trembling!
