Chapter 289: A plan within a plan
"Smack!" Gan Ning slapped to death today's seventy-eighth long-legged mosquito that tried to suck his blood, approached He Xian with an anxious face and asked, "Lord, do you think those two white-faced scholars are playing tricks on us?" I've been waiting here for two days, not to mention the pursuers, and I haven't even seen a single figure. It's full of mosquitoes, flies, insects, ants, tigers, leopards, jackals, and if you wait like this, your brothers can't bear it! ”
"Okay, you Gan Xingba, you actually said in front of the lord that I wasn't waiting!" Before He Xian could reply, a majestic voice sounded behind Gan Ning.
Gan Ning turned around in embarrassment, as if he had been caught by his current daughter-in-law, and bowed to the two white-faced scholars who came behind him: "Mr. Zirou, Mr. Xenodu came just in time!" The lord just said to the two of you! ”
"Oh? What are you waiting for? Do you mean that I didn't wait for anything? Kuai Liang asked with a smile.
"Big brother, don't tease Xingba anymore, across the Yangtze River, the leader of Gan, who made the businessmen frightened, blushed!" Kuai Yue Road.
Gossiping behind people's backs is indeed not the work of a big husband! Gan Ning is a good-looking person, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to leave the scene quickly.
"Xingba, don't be impatient! Wait another day, as soon as the three days arrive, no matter whether Qin Jie Lao'er comes to pursue or not, we will withdraw from Huarong Dao and go straight to Jiangxia! He Xian comforted.
"Don't wait until tomorrow, in less than an hour, the prey will be in the urn! Gan Xingba hurry up and bring your bows and arrows, and beckon your Jinfan heroes to prepare to hunt! Kuai Liang said in a spirited manner.
"Oh? How did Brother Zirou conclude that the chasing soldiers were coming? He Xian asked curiously.
"Lord, please look!" He Xian looked in the direction of Kuai Liang's finger, and saw that in the sky above the trees in the distance, facing the sun slanting westward, tired birds were falling one after another. There is only one place, there are both falling and taking off tired birds, a piece of chaos. Looking closely, this phenomenon of tired birds flying around is slowly approaching Huarong Road.
"Sure enough, a large group of people are approaching!" Without He Xian's instructions, Gan Ning took out a strange whistle, and the sound that came out turned out to be a crisp birdsong, three long and two short, very regular, but it was the vigilance of the Jinfan thief. On the cliffs on both sides of Huarong Road, rhythmic birdsong suddenly sounded one after another, slowly spreading into the distance.
……
"My lord, you can't go any faster, the team will disperse soon!" Xing Daorong said to Qin Jie helplessly.
"No way!" Qin Jie resolutely denied, "Before sunset today, we must enter Huarong Road and arrive at the preset ambush place. The rainy weather in the past few days has made my trip more than a day later than expected, and if I don't hurry up, the He family's Tujiazi passed through Huarong Road, where can I go to find him? ”
"Hurry ~ hurry up ~ hurry up, enter Huarong Road, and everyone can rest!" The junior colonel under Qin Jie kept urging those Lingling soldiers. Xing Daorong couldn't say what he was suffering, so he could only follow behind Qin Jie and support him hard.
As soon as he entered Huarong Road, the sky suddenly felt much darker. It is flanked by towering cliffs, which are covered with green trees and vines.
"My lord, the terrain here is really treacherous, think that Nanyang child, this time it is difficult to fly!" Xing Daorong patted Qin Jie's ass while looking at the steep terrain on both sides.
Qin Jie snorted coldly: "This is the place where the county carefully selected for him to bury his bones, how can there be a mistake!" Remind the sergeants under your command not to leave the avenue, the quagmire on both sides will be swallowed! ”
When Xing Daorong heard this, he hurriedly flicked the horse's head to the center of the avenue.
"My lord, the mountains here are already very steep, I can't wait to set up an ambush here, where else do I have to go?"
"It's a dangerous place, but it's not a place to use soldiers. There is a Taiping Bridge in the middle of Huarong Road, and the terrain over there is called a ghostly workmanship! Whoever is trapped there is called the heavens and the earth. There is no thoroughfare in front of it, and there is no place to turn back. That's the real place of death! Qin Jie said hatefully.
Xing Daorong took a deep breath, not daring to speculate what bad things He Xian had done to make a celebrity like Qin Jie hold such a grudge so much?
"Huh? My lord, you look at the cliff wall, there seem to be traces of human climbing? Xing Daorong suddenly pointed to the green vines on both sides and said.
"Where?" Qin Jie looked in the direction Xing Daorong was pointing. The sun is sinking in the west, the light is dim, where are Xing Daorong's so-called climbing traces?
"Commander Xing should not be suspicious anymore, let's hurry to Tianping Bridge and go with the county to set up the formation!" Qin Jie raised his horsewhip and took the lead.
Xing Daorong glanced at the traces on the cliff a few more times, and muttered in his heart. Is it that I am dazzled and wrong? Or the traces left by those who picked the herbs?
The team of 4,000 people is not long, but it is not short. Especially in a narrow area like Huarong Road, it also stretches for miles.
"Report~" There was a sudden commotion in the front army, and the spies rushed with a terrible shout. Qin Jie's eyelids suddenly began to beat wildly, and he suddenly thought of the traces on the cliff that Xing Daorong had just said, and he had an extremely ominous feeling in his heart.
The teams in front of them turned sideways to make way for the heralds to pass!
"Report to your lordship, the road ahead is cut off and impassable!"
"What?" Qin Jie was taken aback, "But the flash flood washed away the road?" ”
"It's not! It is a mountain and a rock in the middle of the road, and people and horses cannot cross it! There is also a flag made of white cloth on the rock, and a few large characters are written on it. ”
"What's the big word?"
"Old man Qin Jie, die here!"
Qin Jie was shocked, his eyes widened, and he immediately thought that when he was plotting to kill others, others were also plotting against him!
"The rear army becomes the front army, quickly evacuate here!"
As soon as Qin Jie's retreat order was issued, a hearty laugh sounded on the cliff: "Chi Li! Qin Jie Lao'er, you came all the way from Lingling to send him to death, don't blame Ben for being ruthless! ”
"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! Qin Jie concentrated his wisdom and said with a smiling face, "General Wei must have misunderstood!" This county was ordered by the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang Yuan Highway to go to the Tiger Prison Pass to support! ”
"Oh? The tiger prison is locked in the north, but I don't know what the reason why Lord Qin is going east? He Xian joked.
Qin Jie was stunned when he heard this, and secretly made a gesture to his confidant Zhao Ci. Zhao Ci quietly took two steps back, took out a longbow from under the horse's belly, and took advantage of the dialogue between He Xian and Qin Jie, Zhao Ci suddenly turned around, bent his bow and shot at He Xian on the cliff!
What kind of heart Qin Jie is, He Xian knows it, how can he not be a little guarded. When Zhao Ci made a move, He Xian had already pulled out the Tai'a Sword and easily opened the flying arrow.
"Kill!" He Xian gave an order, and hundreds of Jinfan thieves stood up on the cliff, bent their bows and arrows, and shot condescendingly at Qin Jie's Lingling and Wuling coalition forces.
