Qi Ning has a gold medal in hand, so he may not be able to mobilize officers and soldiers, but it is easy to let Yue Qianliang obey and lead the way. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yue Qianliang led the way with a few officers and soldiers, all the way to the direction of Heiyanling, although you can see the Heiyanling mountain range from afar, but there are still more than ten miles to walk, along the way, there are many ambushes, there are bright and dark, Qi Ning thought to himself that if someone did not lead the way, if he wanted to break into Heiyanling, it would be more than lucky.
When the sun sets, when you reach the bottom of the Black Rock Ridge, you can see that the steep wall in front of you stands up, there is a narrow road leading to the mountain ridge, the last checkpoint from the bottom of the mountain is horizontally blocked by a wooden fir fence, there are inverted spurs in front, hundreds of officers and soldiers are waiting here, and even have a lookout wooden building.
"Shangcha, there are Miao guards there." Yue Qianliang raised his hand and pointed to the narrow mountain path on the mountain, "You can lead to the top of the mountain here, but it's .......!" After a pause, he said, "Shangcha really wants to enter the Black Rock Ridge?" ”
Qi Ning smiled: "You think I'm joking? ”
"The courage of the poor is admirable." Yue Qianliang showed a hint of respect, glanced at Eve and the other group of people behind him, and lowered his voice and said, "Can you take a step to speak." ”
Qi Ning bowed slightly, the two walked aside, and Yue Qianliang said in a low voice: "Superior, forgive me for being humble and courageous, these Miao people don't know where they came from?" ”
Qi Ning said: "What's the problem?" ”
"Going up the mountain, although courageous is extraordinary, but ..... We had to guard against the Hmong. Yue Qianliang said in a low voice: "It's better to be like this, the lowly post sent someone to escort the Shangcha into the mountain, but these Miao people are detained here as hostages, if Bayali wants to be unfavorable to the Shangcha, we have dozens of hostages in our hands, and he may not dare to act rashly." ”
Qi Ning raised his hand and patted Yue Qianliang on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I know you have good intentions, but in this way, the misunderstanding will only get deeper and deeper." I came here this time to resolve the matter, not to deepen the misunderstanding. By the way, listen to your accent, not a native of Xichuan? ”
"It's a good ear." Yue Qianliang hurriedly said: "When Lord Wei came to Xichuan to take up his post, he came to follow Commander Yao as Lord Wei's commander. ”
"I see." Qi Ning said: "He is a cautious person. Captain Yue, if I can come out safe and sound, I will definitely recommend you to the imperial court. ”
Yue Qian's conscience knew that the status of this high-ranking person who could get the imperial gold medal and come to Xichuan by order would not be low, and with a little promotion, even if he was not a flying Huang Tengda, it would definitely be of great benefit, so he immediately gave up his hand and said gratefully: "Thank you, my lord." Knowing that Qi Ning had made up his mind, he raised his hand and said: "Open the cedar fence and send the messenger into the mountain!" ”
After the last checkpoint, Eve led the way, and everyone led the horses to the foot of the mountain, only to see that the narrow road could only accommodate two people at most, and there were steep mountain walls on both sides, and it was very difficult to lead the horse up the mountain.
Eve had already said: "Our horses can stay here, a few miles up from here, but it will be much more spacious when we walk over, and when we go over this ridge, we will enter the valley, and there is a stockade there, and we can go through the stockade and climb a hillside to reach the main village." ”
"That's very good." Qi Ning ordered everyone to tie their horses to the bottom of the mountain, and Eve did not delay, and took the lead to go over there, but before he could get close, someone shouted, "Who is it?" One step closer and shoot to death at once. ”
At this time, the sky had already darkened, and I could only see that the narrow mountain road in the middle of the steep wall was dark, and I couldn't see the human figure at all.
Qi Ning thought to himself, no wonder Heiyanling dared to go toe-for-tat with the officers and soldiers, the terrain here is too special, it is not easy to get out of the mountain, and it is even more difficult to enter the mountain.
Eve didn't say much, put two fingers in her mouth and whistled.
Her whistle was very clear, three long and one short, and soon, a person came out of it, holding a bamboo crossbow arrow in his hand, very cautious and careful, Eve approached and said, "It's me!" ”
The man looked at it a few times, put down the bamboo crossbow arrow, and said in surprise: "Eve, you...... You're back, great! When he looked up, he saw a group of figures behind Eve, all of them in Miao family clothes, and he was even more happy: "You brought reinforcements?" Ha ha...... The cave master must be very happy to know that you are back. He turned around and made a gesture, and a few more people came out of it, all of them with happy faces and very excited.
Qi Ning had already stepped forward and asked, "Are there Han people in the mountains?" Are there any people from the government who enter? ”
"People from the government?" Several Miao people looked at each other, they all shook their heads, Qi Ning was happy in his heart, and one of them had already said: "We don't know, we have been guarding here all along, and no one is allowed to enter the mountain, anyway, no one has entered here." ”
Along the way, Eve had already seen that Qi Ning had something in his heart, and finally asked at this time: "What happened, what are you worried about?" ”
Qi Ning shook his head and said, "Let's go see your brother first." ”
Eve nodded, and said, "Why do you say that other Han people have entered the mountains?" This is one of the passages into the mountain, the Black Rock Ridge is on all sides, there are more than a dozen roads into the mountain, no one enters here, it does not mean that no one enters other places. ”
Qi Ning said: "That's why I said that I want to see Bayali quickly." Without saying much, he walked up the mountain, and the Miao guards saw that Qi Ning was coming with Eve, although they were curious, they did not stop them.
The group entered the narrow mountain road, and sure enough, as Eve said, for several miles in a row, there were compact cliffs on both sides, strange rocks, and the road was extremely narrow, and the tightest and narrowest place could only allow one person to pass, Qi Ning thought to himself that the officers and soldiers were going to attack Heiyan Ridge, and it was absolutely impossible to get through here, as long as a small number of people were arranged here, it was enough to resist the officers and soldiers, and even directly blocked the road with stones, and completely cut off the road.
Fortunately, after walking for a few miles, the road suddenly cleared, and Eve led the way all the way.
On the Black Rock Ridge, in fact, there are only a handful of roads that have been built by Zheng'er Bajing, most of them are roads walked by people, there are no roads on the ground, and there are more people walking, so they become roads.
Because of this, the roads in the mountains are extremely irregular, some twist and twist, and some suddenly cut off halfway.
It was already dark, and Eve walked for a moment, and suddenly sighed.
"What's wrong?" Qi Ning couldn't help asking.
Eve smiled bitterly: "In the past, at this time, there were always some birds and beasts in the mountains, but now...... I'm afraid that there are not many birds and beasts in the mountains. ”
Qi Ning immediately understood the meaning of her words.
There is no doubt that there is a shortage of food in Heiyan Ridge, so you can only hunt birds and beasts as food, and you think that there are too many birds and beasts hunted in Heiyan Ridge recently, and even birds and beasts are singing less.
Sure enough, as Eve said, over the mountains, is a valley, the valley is one of the six villages of the Black Rock Cave, there is not much fire, Eve brought people into the house, obviously Eve broke out of the news that everyone in the village knows, see Eve bring people back, are happy.
It's just that the men in the village are guarding around the mountains, and only the old and weak women and children are left in the village, and some of them are preparing meals, and some of them are making arrows.
Worried that there would be too many people, Qi Ning asked the thirty guards to stay in the village first, and only took Eve and White Fangli to the main village.
Although the two didn't understand why Qi Ning did this, they didn't object.
After crossing the valley, climbing up a hill again, and walking for more than two hours, only then did she see a fire in front of her, Eve took a deep breath, and turned back and said, "That is the main village." ”
Qi Ning said: "Let's go see your brother, don't make a show, the fewer people who know, the better." ”
Eve was a little suspicious, but nodded anyway.
In fact, most of the men in the village went out, and the old and weak women and children left behind were prepared in the house, and Eve was very familiar with the terrain here, and quietly entered the main village, and there were a few places on the road that had to be found by the guards, and the guards were overjoyed when they saw Eve, but they were told by Eve not to make a noise.
Arriving at a stilted building not far from the edge of the cliff, Eve went up and knocked on the door, and soon heard a thick voice from inside, "Who is it?" ”
"Brother, I'm Eve!" Eve whispered.
I heard hurried footsteps in the house, "creak", the door of the house was opened, and then the fire came out of the house, Qi Ning saw a stout Miao Han standing in front of the door, the Miao Han looked like he was forty years old, muscular, thick, and square-looking, seeing Eve's standing outside the door, his face was full of surprise, and he grabbed Eve's hand and said excitedly: "Sister, Sister, you...... You're back, hahaha...... Witch God bless, you ...... You're back alive......! ”
Eve was also quite excited, her eyes had turned red, and she choked up: "Brother, I'm ...... I thought I'd never see you again. ”
"Don't say that." Miao Han laughed and said: "The witch god keeps you, you are not good now, now you are all right, hahaha......!" At this time, when he found Bai Yali and Qi Ning behind Eve, he was stunned at first, looked at Bai Yali a few times, and said suspiciously: "You...... You're ..... But the head of Cangxi Miao Village, White Fangli? ”
White Fang Li stepped forward and said with a smile: "Bayali Cave Master, I am White Fang Li, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still so strong." ”
"So...... Sister, have you met King Da Miao? Of course, this Miao Han was Bayali, the master of the Black Rock Cave, and said excitedly: "Okay, there will be no problem now." He raised his hand and said, "White Fang, come into the house." Seeing Qi Ning, he was stunned for a moment, then frowned and looked at Eve.
Qi Ning didn't wait for Eve to speak, stepped forward and arched his hand: "Bayali Cave Master, hello! ”
Bayeri bowed slightly, and Eve had already said, "Brother, this is the sworn brother of King Da Miao." ”
"What?" Bayeli's body was shocked, "King Miao's ...... How is this possible? King Da Miao is so old, and he is a Han Chinese, how can he ......! ”
"Brother, don't worry, let's talk slowly." Eve said, "Are they coming back?" ”
"Yagan?" Bayali frowned, "They weren't with you?" ”
Eve immediately understood that after the dispersal that night, the few companions who followed her to break out did not return, and she was worried, but she thought that Heiyanling was surrounded, and that breakthrough was a life and a death, and Yagan and the others might not take the risk to return to Miao Village for the sake of safety, maybe they were waiting for the opportunity on the periphery.
"But don't worry." Bayeri saw Eve's solemn expression and comforted: "The misunderstanding in the middle will be explained clearly soon, and tomorrow morning, we can go down the mountain." ”
Qi Ning frowned, and immediately asked, "Why?" ”
Bayeri smiled: "Because Jinyi Hou is here, Jinyi Hou is our friend, and when we were in the most difficult time, he came to help us." Raised his hand and put it on Evexiang's shoulder: "With the brocade clothes waiting for the Lord and the King of Da Miao to come forward together, plus the Bai County Order, our Black Rock Cave will definitely be safe and sound." ”
