But misfortune did not go alone, and on the way, the two encountered danger again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Birds were constantly startled in the forest, and an army lined up in a long dragon on the mountain road was marching rapidly, and the marching soldiers were all dressed in strong and sharp clothes, looking at the cold light reflected on their armor and weapons, hiding in the grass beside the road, Yan Xing and the girl were frightened.

The girl was frightened because she didn't expect that she was still fantasizing about it just now, hoping that this troubled world could be settled as soon as possible, and people like Yan Xing who made her worry about her would not be injured and bleed again, but in the blink of an eye, bad luck befell her.

Although Yan Xing asked her to hide in the grass in time with the little flower deer, the girl's body couldn't help but tremble when she thought of the terrible scene of these soldiers with open fire and staff rushing into the settlement, and she couldn't help but think of herself back then, there was also such a group of menacing soldiers who rushed into their tribe, killed her parents, sisters and brothers, and destroyed her home.

The scene of these soldiers marching in front of him suddenly overlapped with the scene of those murderous soldiers back then, and the girl hiding in the grass was shocked, and she could only hug the little flower deer in her arms tightly, afraid that she would lose everything she had now.

Yan Xing was frightened because he saw a few ragged rebel soldiers in front of him, and if he didn't expect, these marching men and horses in front of him were attracted by those few routs. These routs who led the way were most likely the same group of rebels who attacked Oxtail Juanti and were ambushed and repelled by the mountain people last night.

Thinking of this, Yan Xing couldn't help but sigh in his heart. At that time, those mountain people did not listen to the command for the sake of a small profit in front of them, and attacked without authorization, and as a result, all the original arrangements for the annihilation of the rebels were disrupted, and a few rebels took advantage of the chaos to flee into the mountains and forests. And now these rebels have also brought a monstrous disaster to Oxtail Gathering, and the cause and effect of this world is also letting vain people eat the consequences.

However, even if it is the evil result caused by the mountain people, Yan Xing, who has been affected by the whirlpool and trapped in it, has to fight hard, and the group of people in front of him is at least about 300 people, which is not at all something that can be stopped by the low, young and sparse oxtail gathering, if the people of the settlement are slaughtered, his plan to return to Liangzhou will be in vain.

Moreover, there are girls around me. She said that her original home was destroyed by the war, how could she let her watch her second home be destroyed by these soldiers and horses?

Maybe this is also arranged by the thief, who is destined to repay the girl for everything she has done for herself before leaving.

Thinking of this, Yan Xing hurriedly whispered to the girl curled up beside him:

"Did you know that there are paths and shortcuts back to the settlement? We're going to hurry back, the settlement might be in chaos by this time! ”

"Uh-huh."

The girl bowed her head in a low voice, knowing that there was still a remote mountain road to go around. So the two of them looked at each other, and carefully stepped back in the grass, trying not to make a loud noise to alarm the marching men.

···

By the time Yan Xing and the girl ran wildly and rushed back to the settlement along the path, as Yan Xing expected, the mountain people in the settlement were already in chaos.

The anvil hanging from the corner tower of the settlement gate had been knocked, and the rapid "Zheng Zheng" warning sound spread throughout the settlement.

Such a large group of people and horses suddenly appeared in the mountains, searched the mountains into the forest, and the movement of logging and opening the way was not insignificant, and the mountain people who went out to farm and gather in the morning were soon alarmed, and discovered the danger one after another.

Like frightened rabbits, they hurriedly fled back to the settlement when they found the danger, and hurriedly reported this information to the three elders of the settlement, that is, the old man with a dove cane, and soon the anvil in the corner was sounded, and the news of the arrival of soldiers and horses spread throughout the small settlement.

Although the mountain people who reported said that they did not see this army under any banner, but now this world of "thieves are like combs, soldiers are like grates", no matter whether they are soldiers or bandits, it is destined that there will be no good result for the oxtail gathering. If there is such a large group of thieves, I am afraid that the oxtail gathering will be burned and looted and razed to the ground immediately. If it was the officers and soldiers who came, the situation would not be much better, originally they were fugitives from the mountains and forests, even if they were killed and cut off their heads and reported for their military merits, no one would help them cry out for injustice.

In times of crisis, the mountain people who have become dependent always can't help but think of the "strict master" who has repeatedly helped them escape disasters.

After all, it seems that the only one who can save them now is "Yan Shi".

I have to say that Yan Shi, who has decided to live in seclusion here, has judged a long time ago that this is not a place to be entrenched based on his own survey of the dangerous situation of Niuwei Mountain. Although Niuwei Mountain is inaccessible, there is no natural danger to rely on here, so what can ensure its stability and not be disturbed by the outside world is only its little-known and uninhabited condition.

In other words, if a powerful foreign enemy invades, you can reach Ushiweiju and capture this place in one fell swoop by walking straight along the discovered mountain road.

Therefore, in order to prevent accidents, after subduing the mountain people of the settlement, Yan Shi summoned them to build a tunnel for escape.

Authentic techniques have existed since ancient times. In the book "Mozi", the Mojia giant, who is known as a non-offensive and good defender, recorded in detail the methods of using tunnels to attack the city and digging tunnels to prevent the opponent from attacking the city, and summarized the specific measures of "attacking acupoints" and "preparing acupoints" into the article "Preparing Acupoints".

However, the tunnel built by Yan Shi was neither for attack nor defense, but for the escape of the mountain people who encountered accidents.

As the saying goes, "the three caves of the cunning rabbit", this tunnel is the treasure of many mountain people's escape, just for the sake of secrecy, the entrance of the tunnel was relocated many times when it was finally completed, and now only Yan Shi and the three elders of the settlement know the real entrance.

And Yan Shi also lived up to expectations, and soon set a strategy with the three elders of the clan, he took people to open the entrance to the tunnel that had been covered, and the three elders stayed to supervise everyone, everyone was only allowed to bring food and clothing and other living things, and everything else could not be brought, the tunnel was already crowded, if everyone was allowed to bring what they wanted to bring, it would not only cause the tunnel to be crowded and collapse, but also delay the time and increase the risk of being discovered by the enemy.
