Chapter 67: Darkness

"It's Chen Jin."

Zhang Wuxuan said in a deep voice behind him, and Liu Ji stood there motionless, without the slightest relaxation.

His eyesight is not bad, and he can see that the person is Chen Jin, but what he cares about is whether there will be a Tubo pursuer behind Chen Jin, it stands to reason that once things change, even if there is no time to return, there is time to send out the arrow, and if the arrow is not heard, it should be smooth.

But the truth comes down to the truth, and things often don't necessarily follow the reason.

Soon, Chen Jin passed through the first secret sentry, and the sergeant stretched out his hand from the grass and made a gesture in their direction, and Liu Ji's hand was slowly released from the hilt.

"Shu ...... Lord, Vice. Chen Jin ran out of breath, Liu Ji was afraid that he would have another altitude sickness, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help,

"Why is it so urgent, so desperate? Take a breath and sit down to talk. ”

Chen Jin sat down on the stone and gasped for a while before slowly calming down.

"That kid, not long after he entered the camp, word came out, saying that he was his father and wanted to meet us, and his subordinates were afraid that they would not be able to catch up, so they ran faster."

Liu Ji and Zhang Wuyuan glanced at each other, this result is unsurprising, whether the other party is false and wronged, or sincere, this step must be done.

"When, where?"

"Tomorrow afternoon, on a hill twenty miles from here, my subordinates have left two brothers over there to watch, and if there is any trouble, they will send a message."

Liu Ji calculated, twenty miles, almost in the middle of the two places, this location, both sides do not suffer, obviously, the other party has taken it into account, and wants to dispel their concerns.

"It's still early, let's all discuss it and see what kind of charter these people will have."

One person is short, Liu Ji found several leaders in the team, and discussed the matter of tomorrow's meeting, how to arrange vigilance and prevent accidents, these veteran oils are obviously more experienced than him, and it is better to think about things more complicated than to regret it afterwards.

The moon and stars are thick, the sky is high and the earth is far away, and on one side of the Poyi River, a little light is shining in the dark, like a star, and the other side of it is caught in the situation of reaching out and not seeing the five fingers, only a few black shadows that occasionally rise and fall, like a raccoon, flickering and flickering.

At this moment, the rattan bridge erected over the river has only a very clear shadow left, and it is necessary to get very close to see it a little more realistically.

"Straight lady thief, these captives have really taken off the pedal, so profound, how can they be good?"

"Be quiet, are you afraid they won't hear?" Xu Guangjing slapped his subordinates and stopped him from talking, but his heart was no different from what he thought, in the dark, in addition to the sound of the wind, only the gurgling water below,

He himself tried to touch the edge of the bridge, those rattans as thick as children's arms, just like this, cut off into a thick rope, stretched out to the dark and boundless opposite bank, and the pedals that were originally tied to the bridge were all removed, walking on the top, swaying, not to mention, if you are not careful, you will fall, and the Po Yi River is not only turbulent, but also a strange natural landscape.

That is the legendary "weak water" where goose feathers fall to the surface of the water and cannot float.

If it falls like this, there will be only one end, this hand of the Tubo people is really poisonous, they don't want to cut down the vine bridge caused by their hard work, and they don't want the Tang Army to use it, so they came to a trick to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, which makes people sigh at the bridge.

Looking at the starlight on the opposite side, Xu Guangjing couldn't help but lose his mind a little, if this bridge can't pass people, it means that the connection between the two sides of the strait has been cut off, so even if the warlord crosses the snow-capped mountain, with only a team of fifty people, what role can it play?

"Deputy Commander, there is movement in the captive."

Xu Guangjing was startled, raised his head and looked at the opposite side, at the other end of the vine bridge, a firelight stopped at the bridgehead, under the firelight, it seemed to be the cavalry of the Tubo people, led by one person, should not be very old, there is no beard under the chin, only a faint hairy hair on the lips.

Was it discovered?

He glanced at the young Tibetan general through the darkness, and the other party's eyes made him very uncomfortable, and he couldn't gain anything today anyway, so he made a gesture very simply.

"Let's go, let's go back to camp."

"What about them?" One of his subordinates asked worriedly.

"Before they can move, we must be ready to respond, and go back to the camp and call all the brethren to go and cut down the trees."

What do you do when you cut down trees? No one asked any more questions, and the left and right guards would not let everyone do anything useless, and they lowered their bodies and slowly retreated, and soon disappeared into the night.

More than a hundred steps away, and it was at night, Xi Dongzan didn't have such a rebellious look, and he didn't know what was happening on the other side at all, but at this time, he didn't care.

The movements of the Tang people were so big, they couldn't hide their spies at all, long before the Fujiqiao was removed from the pedal, they had inquired about the movements of the Tang army, it stands to reason that the Tang army should have assembled on the opposite side, but why couldn't they even see a single figure?

Without a pedal, it doesn't mean that people can't pass, but with a few rattans, if you want to climb over, the first thing you have to pass is the defenders, he doesn't believe that someone will break through the defense like this, if the Tang army is intentional, what will it do?

"Xi Dongzan, are you going to stay here, and when they run out of food, they will retreat?"

"Either retreat or call, Venerable Shang Jiezan, don't you want to see, what will they come up with?"

Shang Jiezan had no interest in knowing the Tang people's plans, let alone his plans, and looked at the darkness on the other side with a worried face, where it was like a fierce beast lurking, opening its mouth at any moment and devouring everything.

Datang is the beast.

"They can't cross the bridge, they won't find another way? If you are dragged here, but the Tang people appear from unexpected places, are you still in the mood to see the scenery? ”

"From where? There is no army on the ice field, at most a small group of people, detour to Tianzhu, whether those small states will let them pass, it is a problem, even if they can pass, my people will definitely receive the news, if you are worried, you can go back to Zhangxiong, I want to see, how big is their appetite? ”

Shang Jiezan couldn't help but shake his head, if the Tang people only wanted Bolu, maybe it would be a good thing for them, but what if not?

Zhangxiong? Is it necessarily safe, no one can give him an answer.

Looking at Xi Dongzan's confident expression, his heart became more and more unreliable, and he only felt that no matter which direction it was, there was danger hidden.

At this moment, I just want to be as far away as possible.
