The terrain of the Ghost Roaring Valley is treacherous, with cliffs on both sides that are difficult to climb, and the road in the middle is winding and stretching, and the width is only five or six paces, which can easily accommodate a few horses in parallel, and more than twenty carriages can only travel in a single row.

Li An asked Zhang Erniu to lead fifty soldiers to open the way at the front of the team, followed by the frame of King Guichang, fifty steps behind the frame of King Guichang, was the carriage that Xi Yu was riding, and Li Fei Shouyu rode his horse closely to prevent Xi Yu from being mishapned.

Zhao Yufu, the king of Guichang, took the last carriage according to Li An's request, and Li An personally guarded the north side of the carriage to protect Zhou Quan, the king of Guichang.

Zhao Yufu gently flicked the curtain, looked at Li An who was riding a horse slowly, and a smile of appreciation appeared at the corner of his mouth, in his eyes, Li An was not only handsome and chic, but also handsome in riding a horse, not to be wanted, to be able to look at Li An so quietly, Zhao Yufu felt very happy.

"King Guichang, why are you looking at me like this?"

Li An smiled sideways and winked at Zhao Yufu.

Zhao Yufu smiled sweetly, lowered the curtain, and after calming down a little, he lifted the curtain again and looked at Li An.

"Captain Li, your posture on horseback is very handsome and chic, really."

Zhao Yufu's eyes were smiling, and his tone was quite naughty.

Li An grinned, looked at the front and back, and said in a low voice: "King Guichang is cautious, it's not good to be heard." ”

"Hehe, I know, I don't speak, it's always okay to look at you!"

Zhao Yufu held his chin with one hand, admiring Ang Li with affection, with a mischievous smile in his eyes.

Li An shook his head helplessly, and rode his horse slowly, since he was so handsome and dashing, he couldn't spoil this natural appearance, so let Zhao Yufu slowly appreciate it.

The large group of men and horses lined up in a long snake formation, slowly entering the Ghost Roaring Valley, stretching for two miles before and after, if you look down from the sky, it is like a giant dragon swimming slowly between the valleys.

Xi Yu, who was sitting in the carriage, was a little nervous at first, but after going deep into the Ghost Howling Valley, seeing that nothing had happened, he gradually relaxed.

"It's unfounded, where are there any Tibetan assassins."

Xi Yu smiled disdainfully, and reached out to open the car window to enjoy the scenery on both sides.

"Eh, where's Captain Li?"

Li Fei Shouyu bowed his head and said: "Back to the banquet and waiter, Captain Li is behind, personally guarding King Guichang." ”

Xi Yu smiled lightly and pointed at Lifei Shouyu: "This official really doesn't understand, how can the heroic and invincible Captain Li be so afraid of the Tubo assassins, this is the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, we have a lot of people, even if there are really Tubo assassins nearby, we must not dare to act rashly." ”

"Xi Shilang, we have a great responsibility to escort King Guichang this time, we can't tolerate the slightest mistake, it's always good to be cautious."

Xi Yu grinned, then nodded and said: "The young man is modest and cautious, not arrogant, this is not a virtue, Captain Li is to protect the official and the king of Guichang, so he is cautious everywhere, the official really misunderstands him, haha!" ”

Although he already understood Li An in his heart and knew why Li An was so cautious, Xi Yu still believed in his own judgment, he felt that in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, the number of Tubo assassins would not be very large, and some assassins did not have the strength to challenge the six hundred soldiers and horses under Li An's command, which was purely looking for death.

"Hey, why is King Guichang's carriage so far away?"

Xi Yu stuck his head out of the window and saw the frame of King Guichang fifty steps ahead.

"Xi Shilang, the frame of the King of Guichang is extremely conspicuous, and the purpose of the Tibetan assassins is to assassinate the King of Guichang, the terrain of this valley is extremely steep, so the farther away the safer."

When Xi Yu heard this, he looked up at the cliff on the north side, and a fallen leaf gently floated down from his eyes, which made him feel a little scared in his heart, the terrain of the Ghost Howling Valley was really steep, and it was the leaves that fell lightly just now, if it was a stone, his head might not be safe, a normal person was in a dangerous position, and it was normal to feel a little scared in his heart.

"Boom ......"

Just when Xi Yu felt a little scared in his heart, there was a huge crashing sound in front of him.

Li Fei Shouyu and Xi Yu looked ahead at the same time, only to see that on the cliff fifty steps ahead, a large stone was rolling down like raindrops.

"Click...... Ah......h

King Guichang's carriage was hit by several boulders, and the sound of wood breaking was heard, while many of the attendants and soldiers guarding the carriage were hit by the boulders and let out screams.

Immediately afterward, a large number of fireballs rolled down from the top of the mountain, each of which burned violently and ignited the dead grass on the cliff face.

Li Fei Shouyu immediately made a decision and shouted: "Shield hand, protect Xi Shilang, you guys lead the troops to climb up and kill the assassin." ”

"Yes."

Several dragon warriors led their soldiers to climb up the steep cliffs.

The high and steep cliff is not so easy to climb, at least, it is impossible to climb it in a short period of time, however, this will cause psychological pressure on the Tibetan assassins at the top of the cliff, their time is running out, as long as a large number of dragon warriors all climb to the top of the mountain, they will not be able to escape.

A large number of fireballs fell into the valley one after another, turning the Guichang King's carriage into a sea of fire within a radius of thirty paces, and the injured attendants and soldiers who did not have time to escape were all buried in the sea of fire.

Looking at this tragic scene, Xi Yu kept reaching out to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, fortunately, Li An had already made arrangements, otherwise, he and King Guichang would be buried in the fire.

At this moment, Xi Yu can be regarded as truly understanding the power of the Tubo assassins, and at the same time, he is full of worries about the road behind, after all, the Dongnu Kingdom borders on Tubo, and God knows what will happen after entering the Dongnu Kingdom.

Of course, after such a fright, Xi Yu had already decided not to interfere with Li An's arrangements in the next march to ensure the absolute safety of himself and King Guichang.

Not far behind, Li An, who was riding his horse slowly, naturally heard the movement in front of him, and had a premonition that this was the Tibetan assassin who had launched an operation.

"Captain Li, what's going on ahead, is it a Tibetan assassin?"

Zhao Yufu was startled by the loud noise, and hurriedly lifted the curtain and prepared to walk to the carriage.

Li An bowed down and said: "King Guichang doesn't have to be nervous, stay in the carriage with peace of mind, everything has already been arranged, and the Tubo assassin will not be able to escape this time." ”

Zhao Yufu glanced at Li An sideways, and returned to the carriage in shock, with Li An guarding by her side, she was still very relieved.

"Report, Captain Li, the front has been attacked by assassins, the frame of King Guichang has been destroyed by fire, and dozens of attendants and soldiers have been lost."

A soldier of the Longwu Army rode his horse and galloped towards Li An to report the situation ahead.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Li An's mouth: "Tubo assassin, you really took action, see where you flee this time." ”

Zhao Yufu in the carriage heard that his carriage was burned down, and the attendants and guards lost dozens of people, and his heart was both sad and angry, she had only been on the throne for a year, and she had repeatedly tolerated the Tubo Empire, but she did not want to be annexed by Tubo, so she was continuously assassinated, which was so unfair and wronged.

Zhao Yufu knew that she did not have the ability to be the king of a country at all, and within a year of ascending the throne, if it weren't for her five uncles to share the state affairs for her, she would have been unable to support it, and if the Tibetan assassins continued to assassinate her, she would definitely live in fear, when would this kind of day be the end!

Lifting the curtain slightly, Zhao Yufu let the cold wind blow his face, and a trace of tears squeezed out of the corner of his eye.

"King Guichang, why are you crying?"

Lee Ann Lema approached, asking with concern.

The corners of Zhao Yufu's mouth moved, and he said aggrievedly: "Captain Li, I am afraid that one day I will die under the knife of the Tubo assassins, and even, the entire people of the Dongnu Kingdom will become slaves of Tubo." ”

Li An stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhao Yufu's hand and comforted: "King Guichang doesn't have to worry, as long as there is a humble position, he will definitely not let the Tubo assassins touch you at all, believe me." ”

Looking at Li An's resolute eyes, Zhao Yufu's heart was much more steady, a smile squeezed out of the corner of her mouth, and said softly: "Captain Li, if one day, my Dongnu Kingdom is annexed by Tubo, and I also die in the hands of the Tubo people, will you be sad for me." ”

Li An stared at Zhao Yufu's eyes and said seriously: "If the Tibetan barbarians dare to hurt the king of Guichang, I, Li An, will destroy the Tibetans." ”

Although he did not answer directly, it could be seen from Li An's eyes and anger that he would never tolerate the Tubo people hurting Zhao Yufu, and this was enough for Zhao Yufu.

Zhao Yufu looked at Li An tenderly and nodded temptingly.

The Tibetan assassins who were ambushed on the top of the mountain saw the luxurious carriage of King Guichang surrounded by fire, and they were immediately extremely excited, as long as the assassination mission could be successfully completed, they could get a very high reward after they returned, and this money was enough for them to eat and drink for a lifetime.

Seeing that hundreds of soldiers of the Longwu Army were struggling to attack the top of the mountain, the Tibetan assassins laughed a few times with disdain, and then under the leadership of their leader, they quickly retreated to the west along the path on the top of the mountain.

However, these arrogant Tibetan assassins would never have dreamed that on the way they must retreat, an elite Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses had already been ambushed, just waiting for their appearance.

Li Kunxiong and Li Feiyu had one hundred and fifty soldiers under their command lie in ambush on both sides of the road, and all of them bent their bows and arrows, ready to deal a fatal blow to the retreating Tibetan assassins.

"General, are you sure this is a must-pass place for the Tibetan assassins?"

Li Kunxiong looked at the smoke in the distance and knew that the Tibetan assassins had already acted.

"There is absolutely no mistake, as long as the Tibetan assassins are ambushed on the top of the mountain on the north side, this is the place where they must pass through in their retreat, and we will wait patiently."

"Second brother, here, the one who is rushing ahead must be the Tibetan assassin."

Li Kunxiong stared at the group of people who were rushing, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and immediately ordered: "All soldiers, prepare to attack." ”
