Chapter 434: Sneaking in the Night
In the meantime, Long Er got out of the city, and he didn't stop for a moment, and returned to the north of the side wall from the way he came, and met the black-robed man and his men. In one breath, they rode their horses and galloped out for dozens of miles, and when they saw that there were neither pursuers nor ambushes, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Taiyi, it seems that Pei is really cooperative." One of his subordinates asked.
"Hahaha! Of course! Long Erzhi proudly pointed to the side wall that turned into a black line in the distance, and said loudly to a group of Taiping Dao subordinates: "There, there will no longer be a barrier to stop us from going south!" Zhenbei Pass will become the starting point for us to restore Youyan and seize the world! ”
"Taiyi has made immortal achievements!" A group of Taiping Taoists were overjoyed when they heard this, and they couldn't help but howl on horseback.
Over the years, they have been blocked by Pei Valve and this border wall in the bitter cold land of eastern Liaodong, and every year their family members are frozen to death and starved to death. Everyone thinks about returning to Youyan's hometown all the time. Whoever can take their long-cherished wish to be fulfilled, he is the long-awaited Taiping Taoist leader, and even Sun Yuenlong has to give up his seat.
Looking at the group of subordinates who were screaming excitedly, Long Er's face showed a look of pride. This is exactly the situation he hoped for with the help of the Korean people at all costs.
。
Luodu City, time has passed, and it has entered the wax moon.
During this period, Lu Xin returned to Beijing for a few days, and then hurried out of Beijing and went to the area of Zhengzhou and Bianzhou to supervise the grain release.
Of course, Lu Xiang has some regrets, after all, there has been no family reunion for many years, but the old man also understands the righteousness, and knows that Lu Xin is busy for millions of victims, and it is too good to have his grandchildren by his side. At least, you don't have to be alone for the New Year, do you?
As soon as he entered the wax moon, the old man instructed his subordinates to start sweeping the house, and he was busy for a prosperous year. Lu Ying was also instructed to turn around, and she couldn't care about looking at Lu Yun all day for a while. Fortunately, Lu Yun didn't mean to cause trouble, he read and played chess at home every day, and he didn't listen to anything outside the window, which made Sister Ah and Grandpa feel a lot more at ease.
That night, the west wind blew strongly, and the sand and rocks flew outside the window, making the window paper crackle. Lu Ying talked in Lu Yun's room for a while, and then yawned and went back to the house. At this time, she was busy and really tired.
After returning to the house to freshen up, seeing that the lights were turned off in Lu Yun's room, Lu Ying lay down with peace of mind, and after a while, she fell asleep.
Unexpectedly, it is said that Lu Yun, who should have taken off his clothes and drilled into the quilt, is dressed in a strong suit and has a black towel wrapped around his head, how can he have the meaning of sleeping? After seeing the lights out in the west wing, Lu Yun waited for a while, and only when Sister Ah was asleep did he quietly open the back window and flipped out like a cat.
。
At the head of the city, most of the hanging lanterns were blown out by the strong wind, and the remaining half also swayed, and the light dimmed, completely losing the role of illumination.
Tonight the wind was too strong, and it was so cold that the soldiers defending the city all shrank in the towers, and refused to go out even a step, no matter how urged by the officers.
"Boss, this wind is so evil, what kind of lamp do you want to light it? If you can't get it, you're going to be scraped off the city. A veteran begged the lieutenant and said, "Spare the brothers tonight." ”
"Yes, my lord, it was blown out again immediately after it was lit, isn't this a toss?" The soldiers chimed in.
Seeing that the crowd was angry, the officer pushed open the wooden door in frustration, and was blown away by the strong wind. Hurriedly closed the door, waved his hand depressedly, and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it when the wind is a little smaller......"
"Thank you, sir." As if they had been granted amnesty, the soldiers gave up a place for the officers to roast the fire, and huddled together one by one, shivering in a huddle to keep warm.
The city was empty, no one saw it, a black shadow suddenly jumped up to the city, a dragonfly dotted the water, and flew out of the city like a nighthawk, and in a blink of an eye it melted into the vast night with no fingers in sight.
The dark shadow descended from the city, and with all his might, he ran wildly towards the east. An hour later, they arrived at the southern foot of the mountain thirty miles away.
Although the mountain is not high, it can also slightly block the wind, and the trees and grass in the mountains and forests are shaking, but the wind has stopped.
The shadow scurried up the hill for a while, and saw a birch tree that had been stripped of its bark, and then slowed down and followed the code.
After a while, he came to a dense forest. Tonight the stars and moon are gone, and the bare branches are rustled by the wind, which is creepy.
"Woo woo......" Suddenly, the howl of a night owl sounded in the forest.
The shadow stopped, pinched its nose as well, and picked up the voice of the night owl.
After three long and two short shouts, several men who were also wearing night clothes and black scarves covering their faces appeared from their hidden places and knelt down on one knee to the black shadow.
The first person took off his scarf, revealing an ugly face full of scars, which was Uncle Bao.
"Young master, why bother to take risks in person, this little thing will definitely be able to be handled properly." Uncle Bao looked at the black shadow with some depression, and naturally Lu Yun was the only one who could be called the young master by him.
Lu Yun didn't take off the black scarf, shook his head slightly, and said in a true voice: "Anyway, I can't sleep well, it's better to come and see the fun." Uncle, how's the preparation? ”
"All are ready according to the instructions of the young master, and they are laid down in the col ahead." Uncle Bao smiled and said, "I'm just waiting for the wind to blow tonight." ”
"Okay, let's take a look." Lu Yun nodded, and under the leadership of Uncle Bao, he came to a sheltered mountain col outside the dense forest.
At a glance, he saw that in the col, a long dragon with a length of five feet and glittering golden light was fastened by ropes to a row of wooden supports.
In order to prevent the leakage of his whereabouts, it is inconvenient to light a torch, in this pitch black, even with Lu Yun's eyesight, he must think that it is a real golden dragon.
"This craftsmanship is good...... Lu Yun took a closer look, the dragon head made of bamboo strips was pasted with carefully cut gold paper, and a pair of longan made of pine balls were vivid, but it was really a waste of money.
"That's what the young master ordered, do we dare to be lazy?" Hearing Lu Yun's praise, Uncle Bao grinned and said, "If you don't confuse the real with the fake, how can you make people believe that it is the real dragon who has appeared?" ”
"Hmm." Lu Yun nodded with satisfaction, and asked again, "How sure are you?" ”
"I have already rehearsed it with another one the day before yesterday, and the young master's method is completely fine, and it is guaranteed that there will be no mistakes." Uncle Bao packed the ticket.
"Okay, without further ado, let's do it." Lu Yun looked at the dark sky, then looked at the dead silence of the Cangcheng Wharf, and ordered in a deep voice.
"Do it!" As soon as Uncle Bao beckoned, more than a dozen of his subordinates lined up on the left and right of the wooden frame, and together they swung their knives to cut the rope, and carefully lifted the golden dragon.
Uncle Bao and Lu Yun took the long rope and walked out of the mountain pass, and the two of them walked a few steps briskly against the wind, and the men who followed behind raised the body of the golden dragon.
The two of them gradually switched to running, and the men behind them also ran down the hill.
