Heavy rain washed away the mud of the otherwise smooth mountain road like a swamp.

The Qing soldiers moved their steps with difficulty, and climbed up little by little.

Now that the mountain gate is blocked, if you want to break out of the encirclement, you can only throw yourself into the net, and the township soldiers obviously understand this truth, and they have touched their weapons and come to the door.

After Hou Xuanyan came back, the big man in the cloth who was woken up by the scream, a total of thirty people, also touched the front of the mountain gate. They are the personal soldiers of the Yasukuni Gong and the personal soldiers of the generals in the late Ming Dynasty, and they are all warriors who are one in a million. This is cultivated to save lives, and all of them are well-deserved elite soldiers.

The ancient temple was built on the mountain, and the water on the top of the mountain flowed down, and was blocked by the mountain gate, and the water gradually overflowed the heels. Hou Xuanyan laboriously pulled out a foot from the mud and took a big step forward.

"This group of beasts, such a heavy rain, will not let people live in peace."

Fan Xiong, the leader of the pro-soldiers, has now taken off his coat and hat. With bare arms, he showed a fierce spirit. He laughed and said, "Up and down the mountain, the rain is like his mother." We are uncomfortable, and the Qinggou below is even more uncomfortable than us. ”

Hou Xuanyan saw that his voice was rough and didn't care at all, but when he had some clever plan to retreat from the enemy, most of the anxiety in his heart was gone. After calming down, I found that I really didn't need to be too nervous, there was only one road at the mountain gate of the ancient temple, and the rest of the place was full of thorns and shrubs, unless I set fire to those thorny bushes, the Qing soldiers could only climb up from this mountain road. Thousands of people are condescending, and they can't stop a mountain road.

Another flash of lightning flashed, and Hou Xuanyan happened to catch a glimpse of a chubby figure, pouting his ass and throwing a stick by the wall of the mountain gate.

"Yuanbao, what are you doing?"

Xu Yuanbao raised his head, shook his head, shook off the water droplets on his head, and shouted loudly: "This is the drainage, it's almost blocked, I'll use a stick to smash it open, so we don't have to soak in the water." ”

Scupper? Hou Xuanyan had a flash of inspiration and said, "Plug it, plug it quickly." ”

Although the little fat man said that he was a diehard loyalist of Hou Xuanyan, he still asked puzzledly: "Won't we become turtles in the urn?" ”

"you, don't learn something that doesn't have skills, you're a turtle. Plug the water storage, let's give the dog under the mountain a big one, let them be turtles. ”

When Fan Xiong heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted: "That's right, Hou Gongzi is right, let's flood the Seventh Army." After speaking, he faced Hou Xuanyan, picked up his thumb and praised: "In the end, he is a scholar, and there is a lot of bad water in his stomach." ”

Hou Xuanyan had no intention of complaining about his alternative praise, and took a few strong men to find something to block the drain.

After the drainage channel was blocked by a few big men with the mess in the temple, the rainwater flowing from the mountain had nowhere to drain and was all accumulated in the courtyard. Although the crack of the mountain gate can also leak, it is insignificant compared to the flowing water on the mountain.

After a while, the rain was pouring down to my knees in the courtyard, and it seemed that it was about to reach the base of my thighs. The few with short legs already felt the balls floating on the water.

"Stay away from the door, be careful of being washed into the Qing soldiers' lair." Hou Xuanyan drove the village soldiers back to the gate of the hall and watched the water in the courtyard getting deeper and deeper.

The dilapidated mountain gate, which could no longer stop this force of nature, collapsed and was washed down.

The steep mountain road in front of the mountain gate was already muddy and difficult to walk, and suddenly the water flow was a little smaller, and the Qing soldiers who felt the change in the water flow were overjoyed, and they all wanted to climb up quickly and end the torment. Who knows, not long after the relaxation, a torrent washed down, and no matter how strong the soldiers and horses are, it will be difficult to resist the power of nature.

After the water was drained, Fan Xiong took his brother and his own soldiers to the door. Huang Ying also came to the mountain gate with the neatly dressed Miao'er and Shuang'er. Hou Xuanyan didn't know how to face it, but when he saw the two little girls' eyes dodging, Hou Xuanyan suddenly became bold.

He pretended to be generous, brushed the hair on his forehead, stepped forward and said, "Don't be afraid, girls, the Qing soldiers have been repelled by me." ”

Huang Ying smiled skillfully, and didn't take the pursuers to heart at all, and they didn't know how many times they were caught up along the way. This girl is really the most optimistic person in the world in front of people, and she is even a little silly.

She clapped her palms lightly and smiled happily: "I didn't expect that the elder brother of the Hou family looks polite and polite, and he has martial arts, such a vicious Qing soldier has been repelled by you." ”

Xu Yuanbao burst out laughing, Hou Xuanyan turned his head and glared at him, and the little fat man picked up his mace and ran to the mountain gate with a roar. At this time, there were no Qing soldiers, and the little fat man, Fan Xiong and others gave up their previous suspicions, hugged their shoulders and patted their chests, not knowing what to say, and chatting happily.

The corners of Miao'er's mouth twitched slightly, and she chuckled teasingly: "Oh, Hou Gongzi's subordinates don't seem to think of you." ”

Fortunately, Hou Xuanyan was thick-skinned enough, and said casually: "This little fat man is nervous, we don't have to pay attention to him, we have to find a way to leave quickly, otherwise it will not be a long-term solution to wait for the Qing soldiers to form a formation and trap us in the temple at the foot of the mountain." ”

Huang Ying put her hands behind her back, turned around on her tiptoes, and said chicly, "Then let's go." ”

Look at her posture, as long as no one stops her, she will go down the mountain.

Hou Xuanyan slapped his forehead, Miao'er stuck out the tip of her tongue, and said embarrassedly: "She's like this, her temperament is comparative. Forehead.. Random. After saying that, he chased after him. This time there was no time to open the umbrella, Huang Ying'er was already drenched, and dozens of personal soldiers hurriedly surrounded her, protecting her and going down the mountain.

Hou Xuanyan hurried to the palace, beckoned the villagers and the people, packed up and fled out of the temple. This was not the first time they had escaped, and they were all walking out quickly. Only Hong Yixun was still holding a spear and standing beside Hou Xuanyan. Since this little Taoist priest knew that the young master Hou in front of him had seen the prince of the east and had been to Fang Zhushan, he had never left half a step. I always feel that following the eldest young master can be contaminated with a little fairy energy.

In the Daxiong Treasure Palace, Yang Shu was still in front of the car, unmoved. The eldest young master handed over a cart of gold, silver and jewelry to him, and the loyal Yang Shudun felt that the responsibility was greater than the mountain, and he would have rushed out in normal times.

"Uncle Yang, don't be stunned, go down the mountain!" Hou Xuanyan saw that he was still staying here, and his heart was full of anger.

"Young Master, the rain is so heavy, the carriage is going to get stuck in the mud when it goes out, what should I do with this cart?"

"When did you hide these things in the temple? The Qing soldiers are coming for people, there is no one here, they will definitely not ask for it, wait until there is no one, and then come back to get it! ”

Yang Shu clapped his hands and praised: "What the eldest young master said is that the old slave is confused. ”

After saying that, the three of them took down the gold and silver from the car and hid it in the dark compartment behind the Buddha statue. It was piled up with worn bricks and stones, covered with slotted pieces of cloth, and looked inconspicuous.

"The rest of the box, you carry it, let's use it on the road."
