Pingjing Pass is one of the nine stops in the world in ancient times, it has always been the north-south traffic artery, the Central Plains is a critical place, Sun Wu had raided this place during the Warring States Period, since then the pass has almost destroyed Chu in the south, Wufeng Ridge on both sides, Phoenix Mountain is like two gates, the valley bottom of the sky is sandwiched in the middle, Wang Huan opened his eyes wide, only to feel that the Guan Lou in the dark, the ink shadow building, such as a boulder sandwiched between the mountain walls on both sides, unattainable. The peaks on both sides are as high as 10,000 zhang, the bottom of the pass is about 20 zhang wide, and it is firmly locked by a thick wall.

Li Tingyu said in a low voice: "There is no light on the close, but there are no defenders?" ”

Zu Bian said happily: "That's great, most of the soldiers under Li Zicheng abandoned the pass, and the Qing army was busy chasing after it, and in the end, no one came to guard the pass, which happened to be cheaper for us." ”

Wang Huan raised it, and was very suspicious in his heart, feeling that this situation was too unreasonable, how could such a dangerous and critical pass be unguarded? Could it be that the Qing soldiers are monkeys who pull the valley, and if they take one place, they will go straight to the next place, regardless of the place they take?

Li Tingyu also felt incredible, and originally prepared a heavy bribe to pass the customs under the pretext of traveling in a hurry, but now he didn't need it, he frowned and said: "The two teams in front didn't warn, maybe there is really no one guarding the pass." ”

Li Yan said: "It should be, otherwise no matter what happens to the two teams in front, there will always be people who will send fireworks to warn, and now that they are safe, they must have passed smoothly." ”

Everyone nodded yes, Li Tingyu pondered for a while, and sent a nimble hand without night blindness to explore the way, and the subordinate quietly touched the road along the road, like a spirit monkey, and after a while, he came back the same way, and reported excitedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is no one in the gate building in front, the door is wide open, and it seems that there is no one guarding it for a long time." ”

In this way, everyone even dispelled the last trace of doubt, the troubled times are cold, it seems that the Qing army has not been in this area for a long time, the habit of mobile combat has not changed, and the march is smooth, the strength is limited, and there is no time to move the idea of careful management, and they chased Li Zicheng with all their brains, and even gave up this dangerous checkpoint.

Li Tingyu waved his hand, led everyone to take a big stride, and walked along the official road towards the Guan Tower.

Wang Huan walked in the head, looking at the tall gate in the dark getting closer and closer, the uneasy thoughts in his heart became stronger and stronger, when he walked to the front of the gate and entered the city gate like a road, the uneasiness in his heart reached his peak, and his heart almost wanted to come out of his shell, especially when he looked up, the iron jack gate hanging above the city gate seemed to fall at any time, and then the ambush was everywhere, and the fire was lit on all sides, killing dozens of people like turtles in the jar.

However, this situation did not happen until everyone walked out of the other side of the city gate, and the horses inside and outside the city gate were crooked, and the barricades were scattered on the ground like stones, and some rotten flags and drums could be seen everywhere, as if this pass had been left unattended for a long time.

Everyone didn't stop a step, passed straight through the downstairs of the pass, successfully stepped on the road in the pass, and walked out all the way, Wang Huan felt like he was in a dream, and passed this world-famous danger so easily.

Li Tingyu glanced back while walking, and saw Wang Huan's face was blue and his teeth were clenched by the light of the torches, as if he had not yet stepped out of the huge pressure brought by the dangerous terrain of Pingjing Pass, and was still immersed in anxiety. couldn't help grinning, and said in his heart: "This kid is smart and witty, and he is bold, but he is a little flustered when he encounters something, and this little pass scares him like this, and it seems that he has to exercise well." ”

He stretched out his hand and patted Wang Huan's back, signaling him to rest assured, with his own boldness, everything is worry-free.

Wang Huan reluctantly smiled at Li Tingyu, turned around and glanced in the direction of the Guan Lou that had disappeared into the night, the heavy feeling in his heart could not be eliminated, he shook his head, and walked back again.

At dawn, the rising sun rises on the top of the mountain, the warm shines between the mountains and mountains, a thin layer of mist rises in the humid mountain forest, the white mist is swirling, and swims among the grass at the top of the tree, the whole Dabie Mountain is shrouded in a dreamlike fairyland, the dew trembles, the morning breeze is gentle, the little beast that gets up early runs out of the nest, blinking its eyes to forage for food, a natural and peaceful.

A drop of water slowly condensed on the iron armor, along the gap of the iron blade, slid in, the dew was cold, the skin was cold, the owner of the iron armor froze a wordy, and couldn't help but scolded in a low voice: "Damn, it's been two days in this ghost place, and there is not even a ghost, it's really sinful!" ”

The voice was very low, but in a quiet environment, it still spread, and immediately attracted several fierce glances, and the person who spoke immediately shivered, bowed his head and did not dare to say anything more.

Su Le retracted his cannibalistic gaze from the grumbling vest bannerman, and looked out through the gap in the leaves again, he was in a very special position, at the top of a high slope, there were trees to cover his figure, from here, he could just see the official road under the hillside, as long as someone showed his head in the valley of the official road, he could also find it from a distance of a mile.

On his sculptural straight face, his expression is indifferent, his brows are slightly furrowed, his eyes are resolute, and his strong and powerful body is tightly leaning against the trunk of a tree, like a leopard waiting for its prey, containing explosive power, even if he is wearing dozens of catties of iron armor all over his body, there is no feeling of heaviness and effort.

"My lord, let's have some breakfast." Someone spoke behind him, handing him a piece of jerky.

Su Le glanced sideways, and saw that it was his cronies Fuquan, and he turned his face again and still stared at the official road carefully, but he just reached out and took the jerky, put it in his mouth and bit it hard.

Fu Quan waited for him to eat a few bites of meat, handed over the water bladder, and said softly: "My lord, we have been waiting here for two days and two nights, and we haven't even seen the shadow of Nanban, will they not take this road?" ”

Su Le choked, stopped biting the jerky, and then took a bite with more strength, almost swallowing a huge jerky into his mouth, and said in a deep voice while chewing: "No, then Li Tingyu is as cunning as a fox, and he will definitely not go to Nanyang Road, where the army gathers, except for this road, he has no other way to go." Moreover, we deliberately transferred away the Han troops guarding the pass in front, and under the paralysis of carelessness, they would not suspect fraud. ”

Fuquan opened his mouth, intending to say something more, but saw Su Lemeng's mouth must have swallowed the dried meat in his mouth, the whole person stood up, his eyes stared at the front of him A compelling cold light, he knew something was wrong, and hurriedly looked down the slope, only to see the end of the official road, a figure flashed out of the morning mist, and then a second person, a third person, a team of Han dressed up, walked out.

Su Le's body did not move, his hands rushed behind him and beckoned, Fu Quan understood, immediately turned around, and whispered in the woods, and suddenly the sound of the iron armor in the forest was constantly touching, and countless burly figures gathered from the depths of the woods, led by their respective Bashiku, standing quietly behind Su Le, counting the number of people, there were about three hundred people.

A stocky man with armor all over his body, and the iron leaves were Zheng Zheng strode over, stood beside Su Le, and said in a rough voice: "Su Le, Nanban is here?" ”

Su Le turned around and said solemnly: "Lord Erji, Nanban has arrived, and I will wait for Su Le to give an order, and we will launch it together." ”

The Qing army Niu Lu called Erji is really full of meat, not tall and stout, there is the thickness of an ordinary person's thigh between the neck, and an iron armor is tightly wrapped around the intertwined body, maybe it is impossible to find a suitable arm guard and shoulder armor, a pair of arms **** outside, it is shocking all over the scars, against the backdrop of hard muscles like stones, it is even more dazzling, holding a huge mountain axe in his hand, and the fierce spirit is overflowing.

Erji heard the voice and responded: "You have the order of the prince of Yu, I naturally want to respect you, and I will listen to you later, but I have won gold and silver, and you have to remember my merits." ”

Su Le chuckled and said, "That's natural, after today, Lord Erji, maybe it will be Jialazhangjing." ”
