After listening to Long Zhuang's orders, the dart masters did not dare to slack off, and quickly sprinkled realgar powder around.

The realgar powder really worked, and the snake stopped when it came closer, as if it had encountered a blockage wall.

But as there were more and more snakes in the back, the realgar powder didn't work, and there were already snakes crawling towards them.

Everyone drew their swords and waved at the surging poisonous snakes, Lu Xiaoxian saw so many snakes for the first time, his face turned white and froze on the spot.

I think that back then, he crossed after being bitten by a snake, which is exactly what he said: Once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.

This scene shocked Jiang Xiaotong and Li Zhiying on the carriage, and Li Zhiying buried his head in Jiang Xiaotong's arms, trembling all over.

Although Jiang Xiaotong remained calm, his face was pale, and he was obviously frightened.

"Xiaoxian, hurry up to the carriage, don't get in the way here!" Long Zhuang swung his sword and split a rising snake in half, and yelled at Lu Xiaoxian.

Lu Xiaoxian glanced at Uncle Hai, who was trying to control the horses, and shook his head, these snakes are really going to rush over, what role can the carriage play?

Several of Wei Xianyun's subordinates have been bitten by snakes, and if they are lucky enough to encounter a poisonous snake, they have no worries about their lives. If you're unlucky, you'll be unlucky if you're bitten by a poisonous snake.

One of the men was killed after only a few breaths after being bitten.

Staring at the man honking on the cliff, Lu Xiaoxian muttered to himself: "There is such a strange person in the world, even the snake listens to him." ”

Lu Xiaoxian's words reminded Jiang Xiaotong, she pointed to the cliff and said to Uncle Hai: "Uncle Hai, how is it, are you sure?" ”

Jiang Xiaotong's meaning is very clear, and he hopes that Uncle Hai can climb the cliff to get rid of the piper, and only in this way can the current predicament be lifted.

The cliff wall of the cliff is like a knife to cut out, it is impossible to climb at all, it is more than ten zhang high from the ground, it is not within the reach of manpower from the ground to the top of the cliff, even if it is a clever light skill, it is impossible to fly up the cliff.

Obviously, the other party's choice to play the flute and control the snake here was also after some consideration.

Uncle Hai looked at it for a moment and said to Jiang Xiaotong, "I'll try it!" ”

"Be careful!" Jiang Xiaotong said.

Uncle Hai nodded.

"Uncle Hai!" Lu Xiaoxian suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?" Uncle Hai looked at Lu Xiaoxian puzzled.

"I'll invite you to drink when you go back!" Lu Xiaoxian said solemnly.

A smile appeared on Uncle Hai's face, and he drew his long sword and held it in front of him: "You have to invite me to drink the best wine!" ”

After saying that, I only heard the sound of the wind in my clothes, and Uncle Hai had already shot out like a flowing arrow, extremely elegant and chic.

Flying out of the three or five zhang to see the figure fall, the long sword in his hand lightly ground, with the help of the force and floated forward, like a boatman in the sea of snakes, repeated several times to the bottom of the cliff.

Uncle Hai didn't stop, and walked towards the cliff from the bottom of the cliff in one go. Halfway through, the long sword in his hand was replaced by two short blades at some point, and they were inserted into the cliff wall, climbing up like a gecko, and in a blink of an eye, they reached the top of the cliff.

"What a handsome kung fu!" Lu Xiaoxian was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but clap his hands and praise.

Wei Xianyun showed a surprised look on his face, he didn't expect a coachman to have such skills, much stronger than the elite of the Suzaku Gate.

The flute man didn't expect someone to climb the cliff, and he even forgot to play the flute for a while, staring at Uncle Hai in an incredible daze.

Without the sound of the flute, the attacking snake group suddenly stagnated.

Uncle Hai was not polite, and the short blade in his hand shot at the pied piper like electricity, and without any dodge, the short blade shot through the throat.

Uncle Hai was also stunned, he didn't know martial arts.

As soon as the Piper died, the serpent array immediately sensed it, and it receded like a flood, and soon disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

The people who have been fighting with the snakes wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and they were afraid for a while.

Looking at the mess in front of him, Wei Xianyun's face was even more bitter, and it didn't take much effort, the Vermilion Bird Gate lost seven more people, and if it continued like this, it would be a question whether he could insist on returning to Chang'an.

"Mr. Wei, someone is here again!" Long Zhuang listened attentively.

Sure enough, there was a violent sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and the ground began to tremble slightly.

There should be a lot of people listening to the sound of horses' hooves, and I don't know whether they are friends or foes.

Wei Xianyun was shocked in his heart and followed the prestige.

The sound of horses' hooves came from directly ahead, and in an instant, on the other side of the valley, a group of sergeants in the armor of bright light appeared in the dark iron hood, about a hundred of them, and they stopped in unison about a hundred paces away from the dart team.

Although this team of sergeants was under the scorching sun, their eyes were as cold as frost and snow, and they knew at a glance that they were the elite of the Tang army.

One of the leading generals stepped forward and hugged his fists to the dart team and said: "Mr. Wei, the master of the Dragon Bureau, Yuan Zhen, the commander of Guoyi Governor of Luzhou Zhichong Mansion, came to greet the county lord of Yuzhen on the order of Li Longji, the king of Zi County, Luzhou. ”

Li Zhiying listened to it in the carriage, and said excitedly to Jiang Xiaotong: "Sister Xiaotong, it was the third brother who sent troops to pick us up, so we don't have to worry about it anymore." ”

Long Zhuang was also relieved when he heard this, and was about to step forward, but he heard Lu Xiaoxian shout in a low voice: "Wait, there is fraud in this." ”

After that, Lu Xiaoxian pointed at the other party and whispered something to Wei Xianyun.

Wei Xianyun gave a few words to the two black-clothed men beside him, and the two black-clothed men nodded, beating their horses and galloping towards Yuan Zhen.

Under the cover of the sound of horses' hooves, Wei Xianyun whispered to Long Zhuang: "Let your people get ready, there is a vicious battle to be fought below." ”

Seeing Wei Xianyun's solemn face, Long Zhuang knew that the situation was not good, and hurriedly ordered the dart master to strengthen his vigilance.

While speaking, the two black-clothed men from the Vermilion Bird Gate were only twenty or thirty steps away from Yuan Zhen.

"Stop, don't go any further!" Yuan Zhen saw that these two people were murderous, and there was no sign of slowing down, so he shouted loudly.

Not only did the two black-clothed men not stop, but instead drew their swords from their waists and rushed towards Yuan Zhen with a swing.

Yuan Zhen saw that the situation was not good, so he pulled out his horse and ran, shouting loudly as he ran: "Release the arrow!" ”

A dense rain of arrows shot at the two men in black, the men in black were defenseless, and the distance was close, and they were shot like hedgehogs in an instant, falling off their horses.

"Protect the county lord and retreat quickly!" Wei Xianyun ordered loudly.

The masters of the Suzaku Gate stood in the way, and the dart masters escorted the carriage and turned back, preparing to retreat in the direction they were coming.

Yuan Zhen had a gloomy face, and with a wave of his hand, he also gave an order: "Except for the people in the carriage, none of the others will be left, and all of them will be killed." ”

The cavalry rode up and charged, and in an instant they rushed to the front, and the two sides fought together.

I thought reinforcements were coming, but who knew that they were here to urge their lives.

From despair to hope, and then to despair, the situation changed so quickly that Li Chiying was a little numb.

Lu Xiaoxian kept staring at the field, and the masters of the Vermilion Bird Sect were much stronger than those sergeants. But when it comes to the ability to fight immediately and the cooperation of the battle formation, they are much inferior.

Both sides have their own injuries, and the situation is very unfavorable for Wei Xianyun's side.

Wei Xianyun judged the situation and issued an order in time: "All abandon the horses and use the terrain to fight separately!" ”

The people of the Suzaku Gate jumped off their horses and continued to fight.

The power of the cavalry is mainly reflected in the charge, and if you fight on the spot, there is no advantage in speed.

On the contrary, it was the masters of the Suzaku Gate, without the restraint of horses, tossing and turning, each performing their own stunts, and greeting the opponent's war horse, and the situation was reversed after a while.

Yuan Zhen saw that the situation was not good, and immediately issued an order: "Withdraw!" ”

The cavalry quickly broke away from the battle formation and retreated, and the two sides returned to their previous confrontation.

On Wei Xianyun's side, eleven people were lost, and the masters and dart masters of the Vermilion Bird Gate were added together, and there were only twenty or thirty people left. Although the opposing cavalry also lost more than 20 people, there were still 70 or 80 people, and they had an absolute advantage in numbers.

Long Zhuang asked strangely on the side, "Xiao Xian, how do you know that they are cheating?" ”

Li Zhiying also looked at Lu Xiaoxian, obviously this was what she wanted to know.

"Actually, I didn't know it at first. But when Lieutenant Guo Yi told a lie, I concluded that there must be a deception in it. ”

"Lies?" They all heard what Yuan Zhen said, and Long Zhuang really couldn't understand where there was a fake.

"The county lord of Yuzhen went to Luzhou, and he didn't tell the king of Linzi in advance, since the king of Linzi didn't know, how could he send troops to meet him? This is one of them. ”

Indeed, it is impossible for the king of Linzi to be unpredictable.

"Even if the King of Linzi County knew that the Dragon Clan's Dart Bureau was escorting Princess Yuzhen to Luzhou, the protection of Princess Yuzhen by the Vermilion Bird Gate had always been carried out in secret, and it was impossible for outsiders to know about it. However, don't you think it's strange that this Guoyi Lieutenant Yuan Zhen can break through Mr. Wei's identity in one mouth? This is the second one. ”

Lu Xiaoxian's mind was really thoughtful, but they didn't notice such a big flaw.

"The biggest loophole is that they shouldn't say that they were sent by the King of Linzi County!"

"What's wrong with that?" Long Zhuang was puzzled.

"What Lu Gongzi said is right!" Wei Xianyun explained on the side, "The troops of the Zhichong Mansion must be transferred to the conquest and defense, and the imperial court must issue bronze fish charms and edicts. Even if it is used in ordinary times, it needs to be ordered by the assassin and the commander of the Tsuchicho together. The king of Linzi County is just a different driver in Luzhou, and he has no right to mobilize government soldiers at all. Luzhou Thorn Shi and Zhichong Duwei are both Empress Wei's people, under the exclusion of the two of them, the king of Linzi County is very unsatisfactory in Luzhou, how can he mobilize the government soldiers to meet the county lord? ”

Served, thoroughly served. With just one sentence, so many loopholes can be analyzed, and Lu Xiaoxian and Wei Xianyun's minds are really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Long Zhuang suggested: "Mr. Wei, how about we leave some people here to resist the enemy, and the rest of the people will protect the Yuzhen County Lord and leave here quickly?" ”

Long Zhuang is now most concerned about Li Zhiying's safety, if Li Zhiying has three longs and two shorts, Long's dart game is estimated to completely disappear from Chang'an City.

"No way!" Lu Xiaoxian said categorically, "Just because the other party knows that the county lord is here, they are not in a hurry." If the county lord leaves, they will launch a full-scale attack, and when the time comes, we will not be able to withstand the onslaught of the cavalry at all, and they will clean up this side, but the county lord will still not be able to escape. ”

Long Zhuang opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute it.
