γChinese Networkγ, to provide you with wonderful reading.
Jiangcheng, Luoluo Bridge.
A big flag, fluttering in the morning breeze, the morning sun sprinkled in this painted tiger with teeth and claws, revealing a majesty and solemnity, here is the end of the tiger troop selection competition, on the handsome platform, Liu Gaozhi held the order flag, with a solemn expression, standing beside Xie Xuan, who was sitting behind the handsome case.
There are already more than 40 sergeants sitting in the audience, most of them are the three groups of people who Liu Yu sent to the river before, Liu Cui's body has been covered with thick robes, shrunk into a ball, while warming up around the fire, while drinking hot mutton soup, this day's competition, more than 300 miles, and across the river, even if the physical strength is as terrifying as them, it is almost impossible to hold on.
There were two more sergeants supporting each other, stumbling to the ground, supporting each other across the finish line, as soon as they crossed the line, they both fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, they completely relied on the last breath to survive, on the left of the leg, there are still two arrow shafts, the arrow is hidden blood oozing, but it has already been condensed by the ice and snow, but as he walks around one by one, it keeps cracking and opening, dyeing his entire pants, are a crimson red.
Liu Gaozhi's brows furrowed, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen sergeants quickly rushed off the platform and lifted the two people up, Xie Xuan sighed softly: "It's really not easy to hold it back." β
Liu Gaozhi shook his head: "It seems that Murong Nan released water on the bank of the river." There is no river patrol. β
Xie Xuan said softly: "How can you see it?" β
Liu Gaozhi said calmly: "Recently, more than ten new people have come to the crossing, all of them are small groups of two or three people, and they all go to the ferry, it is said that if the ferry is guarded, they will not be allowed to come over like this, it can be seen that Murong Nan has abandoned the ferry and gone elsewhere." β
Xie Xuan smiled slightly: "What are they doing if they don't guard the ferry?" Besides, didn't there be more than a dozen people who crossed the river in waves, why didn't you say that they had a problem? β
Liu Gaozhi shook his head: "It's different, like Liu Cui, they are pretending to be chasing soldiers and crossing the river in confusion, while these newcomers are in groups of two or three, like the one just now, who is so seriously injured and still wearing the clothes and armor of the contestants, how can they be able to mix?" The ferry is definitely empty now. β
Xie Xuan nodded and stopped talking. Liu Gaozhi smiled slightly: "Xuan Shuai, in fact, you and I both know what Murong Nan did, there is a person who has not appeared here now, he must be going for that person." β
Xie Xuan sighed, looked at the crowd at the finish line, and suddenly said, "How many people have reached the finish line now?" β
Liu Gaozhi replied without thinking: "Eighty-two." Here were two more. β
Xie Xuan looked up at the sun in the sky and muttered, "Is it still too late?" β
Jiangcheng, three miles to the west, Jiuxiang River.
This is the only way from Jurong to Jiangcheng, the other two roads have to go around more than five miles, only this one, a lonely bridge, across the river, in the grass to the east of the river, more than a hundred people are lurking, eyes staring at the way.
Murong Nan squatted in the grass, without saying a word, looking at the opposite side of the river, they had been guarding here for more than an hour, the sun was three poles, it was overtime, but there was still no movement on the road.
Sun En was a little breathless, and said in a low voice: "Lord Mu Yuan, are you really sure that Liu Yu will go here?" We're going to get everyone out of here to gamble, and if we get out of the way, it's all over. β
Murong Nan shook his head: "It's too late to go back now, I'm sure Liu Yu must be to the west of the river, if he doesn't go here, he can only go upstream to the Qiqu River, then he has to go around ten miles, although Liu Yu is strong, but after all, he is not an iron-clad person, the consumption of this day and night is very large, let him run like this, even if he can't catch him, he may not be able to run to the end within the specified time!" β
Speaking of this, Murong Nan smiled slightly: "Besides, let's take precautions at the ferry, and other contestants won't be able to take advantage of it, you know, there are only one hundred places, and even if Liu Yu arrives one hundred and one, it's too late." β
Lu Xun said with a smile: "It turns out that Lord Mu has long expected this, but what if Liu Yu didn't take the river, but took those ferries?" β
Murong Nan hooked the corners of his mouth: "No, believe me, Liu Yu will definitely take the river, he may take a detour, but it will never be possible to take the Garlic Mountain Ferry, let's guard it here." β
Xu Daofu gritted his teeth: "Otherwise, I will take someone to Qixiang River to intercept Liu Yu, even if I can't stop him, I can delay him for a lot of time." β
Murong Nan smiled and shook his head: "There's no need for this, we only target Liu Yu this way, and it's not very fair to him anymore." Although this is specially explained by Xuan Shuai, if Liu Yu really can't enter the tiger army, I'm afraid it's not a good thing. β
Sun En's brows furrowed: "Let him in, won't we be able to enter?" β
Murong Nan said indifferently: "You go and discuss this with General Xiao Xie, with your ability, you shouldn't need to enter the tiger army through a competition." I believe that you will become comrades-in-arms with Liu Yu. β
Sun En stomped his foot hatefully: "Since this is the case, then please forgive me for my resignation!" He stood up, stamped his foot in hatred, and turned away with his men.
Murong Nan didn't look at the Heavenly Master Dao people behind him, his eyes were still staring at the small bridge, and he muttered to himself: "Liu Yu, you big fool, how can I really stop you?" Otherwise, I would have intercepted you on the river a long time ago, alas. β
Jiangcheng, Qixiang River.
In the grass, Liu Yu and the other three were hurrying away, Liu Jingxuan shouted as he walked: "What's the matter, why did we deliberately take a detour, there are ambushes over there?" Jinu, do you really see clearly that it is an ambush? β
Liu Yu's feet ran like flying, and sighed: "I've been practicing for a year, can't I see if there are ambushes, the bridge is too quiet, it's not normal, there is not even a rabbit, if there is no ambush, it's a ghost." I forgot that Murong Nan was too familiar with me, he must have been there to guard me. β
Liu Yi hooked the corners of his mouth: "Then let's take a detour like this, is it too late?" What if there is an ambush on the path? β
Liu Yi's eyes flashed coldly: "Is it a blessing or a curse, whether there is an ambush or not, we can only break through, before noon, we must rush to Jiangcheng, under the banner of Luoluoqiao!" β
While he was talking, Liu Jingxuan suddenly fell to the ground and couldn't get up again. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
