Chapter 169: A Smile When We Meet
Only from the shrewdness and self-exaltation, born in the last days, the fortune is biased. -------Clear. Cao Xueqin "Dream of Red Mansions"
It is said that Chen Long led a team of 150 people, crossed many mountain dangers, followed the mountain stream, and finally found the outlet of the stream in the Eile River, a waterfall falling from a high cliff. The team knotted the rope and descended into the endless meadow, heading in the direction of Datun.
Halfway through, several times heard the golden drums in the distant valley of Chuankou and the galloping of thousands of horses, Zhao Yun's troops had obviously begun to attack Chuankou strategically, and Liu Bao's Hun cavalry had also all responded to the battle, I am afraid that in Datun, the middle-aged herdsmen who can fight are all on the battlefield.
Chen Long originally wanted to wait for the dark night before entering Datun, try to avoid possible friction, and take Cai Yan to leave while the night was dark. But remembering the light snow of last night, and the howl of wolves, this grassland night, although beautiful, was too cold and dangerous. Although she is not afraid, can Cai Wenji endure such a dark night in the wilderness? Not to mention escaping into the mountains.
After a long time, Chen Long finally decided to take advantage of the dawn and risk entering Datun to rescue. If there are not too many prime-aged male herdsmen left behind, and Cai Yan is rescued and quickly separated, he may be able to succeed in one fell swoop.
Under this heavy mountain, the sun has not yet set, about the afternoon just after noon, the silhouette of the mountain gradually shrouded the grassland. Datun fell into a rare quiet time after the lunch cooking, and occasionally the big dog barked a few times, and fell into silence again.
Chen Long and his subordinates crawled behind a gentle slope and grew grass, and observed the entire Datun up close. There are obvious horse road exits on all sides of Datun, and the gap between the various yurts is also enough for people to enter and exit. In the middle of Datun, you can see three huge yurts that are obviously higher than the roofs of other yurts, standing out from the crowd, and must be the "palace" residence of Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian.
Chen Long's heart became excited, and Cai Yan's newly mature Wenxiu face floated from the depths of his heart. Although Cai Yan doesn't know Chen Long dressed as "Yan Baihu" now, the little tacit understanding when they met for the first time in Cai Yong's mansion made Chen Long unforgettable. If Cai Yan can be freed from suffering, Chen Long is willing to use a lifetime of love and time to return her to happiness and happiness.
There are many routes to enter Datun, and Chen Long carefully observed one, and it seems that the figure of people entering and leaving is the least. Chen Long led the team cautiously, gradually approaching the sheepfold of the outer racecourse, the length of the grass was greatly reduced, the team had to use the fence to hide their figures, fortunately, this afternoon, not many people came out to take care of the livestock. Chen Long told everyone to leave their burdens on the grassland, and everyone was lightly clothed and short-dressed, carrying only weapons, and crawling forward.
Finally approaching the yurt in the outermost circle, Chen Long saw that the yurt was basically facing the leeward south, and cut through the gap between several yurts, trying not to make a sound. Although the squad's actions are not as clean as those of the special forces, they are also qualified squads for hiding.
The team gradually deepened, turned a four-color yurt, the curtain suddenly moved, Chen Long and the others just arrived, only to see a two or three-year-old boy, his whole face was a little wrinkled by the wind on the grassland, his red face was healthy, and his big black eyes stared at the team behind Chen Long, motionless.
Chen Long hurriedly stretched out his hand and put his index finger to his mouth, looked at the boy with a smile, and motioned for the person behind him to pass by quickly. The boy was attracted by the glittering dagger in Chen Long's hand, and Chen Long played a few tricks and took out some jerky from his arms for him to suck. The boy took it, and let go of these strange-looking intruders.
The team marched quickly, and came to the back of the three yurts arranged in a zigzag shape, and the front was full of shadows and guards, Chen Long went around and observed, and saw that several big bags were guarded at the door, especially at the southernmost big bag door, there was a strong man like a giant spirit, obviously a guard who specialized in guarding Liu Bao's family.
Chen Long didn't know which yurt Cai Wenji should be in, and saw that the strong man's forehead was shiny and shiny, bare and not hairy, but there was a small braid hanging on the back of his head, quite like the dress of the golden people of later generations, wearing wolf skin shoulder pads obliquely, * right shoulder and right arm, the end of the muscular knotted forearm, and a huge mace in the big fan-like hand, which looked quite difficult to mess with.
The big man guarded the camp alone, thinking that he should be full of confidence in himself, and Chen Long also felt that it was easy not to mess with him, so he started with the two big bags in the back.
The yurt is a kind of house inhabited by Mongolian herders, which is suitable for pastoral production and nomadic life. Spacious and comfortable, the bag is supported by a special wooden frame, wrapped in two or three layers of wool felt, then tied with rope twisted from horsehair or camel hair, and topped with wooden brackets and covered with canopy-like felt and thatch to protect it from wind and rain. The oval spire has a skylight, which is covered with four squares of wool felt, which can be used for ventilation and lighting, which is not only easy to build, but also easy to disassemble and move, especially suitable for the life of herders chasing water and grass.
Chen Long saw the skylight on the top of the big bag on the left, ordered his subordinates to hide, and lifted it lightly, rising from the ground like green smoke, falling lightly beside the skylight, and picking up the sheep felt to cover the rain to observe. The interior of the bag is dark, and the door opens to the southeast, which is not only a way to avoid the strong cold air of Siberia, but also follows the ancient tradition of auspicious sunrise. In the center of the tent was a stove about two feet high. On the east side of the stove are cupboards stacked with cooking utensils, and on the west side are carpets with carved wooden tables with low legs. On both sides of the door hung the shepherd's whips, bows and arrows, shotguns, and chewing bridles, and on the west side of the tent were placed red lacquer painted wooden cabinets, and on the north corner of the wooden cabinets were a Buddhist shrine and a Buddha statue, in front of which incense burners and offerings were placed, but they were silent as if they were not included.
From this angle, Chen Long couldn't see the furnishings on the other side, but he didn't see anything like the couch, it should be on the other side, maybe someone was taking a nap. Chen Long listened for a long time, but he couldn't hear the sound of breathing, so he ventured his head into the skylight to observe, and sure enough, there was a comfortable couch made of a bunch of felt on the other side, on which several dolls were sleeping quietly, and a maid was sitting on the side of the collapse, also leaning on the side of the collapse and pretending to sleep. I think it was Liu Bao and the general's children who took a nap here, no wonder they didn't hear the sound of breathing.
Chen Longyi is bold, jumped up, and went to the top of the yurt on the right to observe, here is also a large tent with a skylight, under careful observation, only a middle-aged woman is taking a nap here, thinking that it is Liu Bao's queen or something like that.
Chen Long frowned slightly, it seems that Cai Wenji is most likely in the southernmost big yurt, it is estimated that it is also Liu Bao's resting place, and Cai Yan has been sleeping recently. If you want to reach that big bag to observe, you have to fly over the space between the two big bags behind and Liu Bao's big bag, and it is impossible to avoid the sight of the guards at the door of the two big bags behind. If it is seen by the guards behind, it will inevitably alarm the giant man guarding the door of Liu Bao's yurt.
As soon as Chen Long thought of this, he turned around and looked down from the other side of the roof of the big bag, and saw at a glance that there were several guards with bows and knives standing in front of each big bag, even if he attacked by himself, I am afraid that he could not destroy them all at the same time. As long as one person speaks out, I am afraid that he will have to face the wrath of the whole tun.
For today's plan, there is only one thing to do, and the possibility of Cai Yan in the big yurt guarded by the giant man is very high, and if he is not lured away, it seems that it is difficult to take a big beauty away like this. Chen Longfei fell to the hidden yurt under his subordinates, and asked to clear the guards outside the two yurts in the back first, if he could eliminate them all silently, he could naturally try to cut the big mouth of Liu Bao's yurt from behind, quietly rescue Cai Yan, and avoid the duel with the giant man.
The team divided into two teams again, and at the same time felt through the gap between the left and right bags and reached the door of the yurt. Chen Long reflexively flew onto the yurt on the left, and went to the eaves in front of him to show his eyes, staring at the actions of his subordinates.
Chen Long was not confident that his subordinates would be able to silently wipe out the left and right groups of guards at the same time, so once his subordinates began to act, Chen Long decided to leap over the gap between the big bags and attack the giant man directly from the rooftop, hoping to succeed in one fell swoop.
The left and right men fought at the same time, and sure enough, the shouts sounded, Chen Long took advantage of the melee in front of the yurt door, kicked under his feet, landed on the roof of Liu Bao's yurt like a bird, and quickly climbed over the roof to look down, only to see the big man raise his mace, as if listening carefully to the movement behind, but did not leave the door of the yurt.
Chen Long pulled out the dagger in his boots, and without hesitation, he pressed down like thunder, and the dagger pointed directly at the bare skull of the big man. When the wind sounded slightly, the big man's bald head actually changed slightly, obviously his senses were extremely sensitive, and he actually twisted his neck to the left in the electric light, and Chen Long's dagger brush was inserted into the muscle of his right shoulder, and it was quickly bounced away by the big man's muscle.
Long Chen didn't expect that the giant man's senses were so keen, and his muscle protection ability was extremely strong, and it was a killing move that would kill with one blow, but he didn't succeed in one fell swoop. The mace in the big man's hand had already swung with a huge wind sound, and the wound on his shoulder, although it looked bloody, was not enough to kill.
The thick mace was inlaid with thin iron nails, and the huge wind slammed towards Chen Long's face, the short dagger in Chen Long's hand naturally did not dare to touch hard, relying on the size of the big man is much smaller than the big man, a type of iron plate bridge drilled under the big man's arm, and with a slap on the hand, the dagger pierced into the armpit of the big man, the big man roared, didn't have time to turn around, jumped up suddenly, an upside down, the majestic back muscles bulged, and quickly pressed towards Chen Long, intending to crush Chen Long to death under him, at least let him be seriously injured.
Chen Long was taken aback by his unexpected strange move, and thought to himself that being pressed by you for hundreds of catties is comparable to a brown bear, and it is not broken bones. Before he had time to leap away, he fell to the ground along his back, pressed the dagger head up into the grass, and rolled away with an eighteen-rolled grunt.
The big man was bound to get a blow, his back just hit the ground, but the expected human cushion was not under him, but a spike was deeply inserted into his back, if it weren't for the muscle tension, this time it would have penetrated into the internal organs, the pain hit, the giant man let out a roar, got up with a dagger, raised his mace, and looked for the nasty opponent who sneaked up on him.
Chen Long rolled over, just arrived in front of the wool felt door of the yurt, and suddenly the felt curtain opened a small corner, revealing a delicate face, Chen Long was stunned, although the little face was blown by the grassland wind The texture of the skin, although the sun of the grassland turned red, although the sad heart made his eyes tearful, but the breath of the book is still rushing to his face, who is not Cai Wenji who moves the world?
Cai Wenji looked at Chen Long blankly, seeing that he had a Han face, wearing a short fight of the Han Dynasty, his eyes seemed familiar, but he really didn't know it, seeing Chen Long smiled slightly, he was surprised inexplicably, and suddenly saw a huge mace head smashed towards the man on the ground, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation, shouting: "Fall, don't!" ”
