Chapter 0046: Tiger's Den
The night was vast and pitch black, Lu Fei and the others crept through the faint light of the snow, as soon as the old soldier Wu died, they could only grope step by step with intuition, Cao Keming was not familiar with this place at all, but he knew that there was a place called Niuxin Pavilion earlier than Lu Fei, as for what kind of landform this place was, he had never been here at all.

Cowhide boots trampled on the snow half a foot deep, in this empty and silent snowy night, the 'squeak' sound could attract the vigilance of the party sentinels at any time, so Lu Fei and a few people had to stop and observe carefully for a while, and the cold wind was howling around like a ghost.
The heavy snow didn't know when it stopped, and the dark clouds in the sky were gradually blown away by the wind, revealing a bleak hazy moonlight, and tall and majestic black shadows gradually appeared in front of several people, undulating continuously.
Lu Fei wasn't sure if there were any party members gathered here, and if there were, then just a little unusual sound would make none of these people go back.
The six people scattered one after another, silently feeling out towards the foot of the mountain, the closer to the foot of the mountain, the clearer the outline of the mountain in front of them, the broken North Great Wall like a black dragon winding away at the top of the mountain, and there was no figure on it.
Suddenly, a light appeared on the rock wall at the foot of the mountain in front of him, and then a string of horses' hooves came, and more than a dozen people with torches rode out, and Lu Fei and everyone were also busy lying on the snow, motionless.
The people who came lined up, and they turned along the mountain only more than ten zhang away from Lu Fei and the others, and disappeared on the other side of the mountain after a while.
The snow night regained its calm again, Lu Fei came to Cao Keming and the others with his waist anchored, and said softly: "Do you see it clearly, it's a party member" Lu Fei saw it clearly, but also asked for proof, people's eyes have been in the snow for a long time, and it is easy to suffer from snow blindness, he is afraid that he will be wrong.
Cao Keming said with certainty: "It's the party cavalry, who came out to patrol, that's right, there must be a lot of people hidden in this valley."
Luo Chengdao: "That's good, let's withdraw"
Lu Fei shook his head: "Seeing is believing, go, according to what Wu Lao said, touch the Great Wall over there"
Put a black shadow before and after, the faint moonlight is very uncooperative and drilled into the clouds, it seems that the snow is going to fall again, the snow season in the northwest can sometimes be as long as a few months, this is only November, not yet to the coldest time, I heard that the coldest time here can completely freeze the Yellow River, ten thousand horses can gallop on the ice.
Lu Fei didn't dare to stop and rest, he was afraid that as soon as he stopped, the sweat on his body would immediately freeze into a layer of ice, and if he wanted to rest, he could only slow down slowly, observe a few glances and move forward again, the winding mountain road was rugged, or there was no road at all, I heard Wu veteran say that there used to be a military station here every other section, for the Great Wall athletes to settle down, and then they were all abandoned, which would be afraid that it had been crushed by heavy snow.
The cold air makes it difficult to breathe, the mouth is dry, and the throat is like a piece of glutinous rice poop, Lu Fei can only find a few ice slags on the ground and put them in his mouth.
The feet are getting more and more slippery, and the mountains are getting steeper and steeper, I don't know how the people who built the Great Wall back then built the Great Wall.
Suddenly, someone behind him stepped on a loose rock, and the stone slid down the steep mountain bone, making a series of frightening collision sounds.
Lu Fei walked in the front, and he cursed secretly:!
Even with a wave of their hands, everyone stuck to the snow wall, praying not to attract the attention of the party members.
It's a pity that the party people's hearing is surprisingly good, even in this windy mountain, they are immediately alert, and a group of cavalry ran out of the mountain pass just now, chattering around the foot of the mountain and running back and forth, the surroundings are hazy, even if they hold torches, they can't see the situation on the mountainside clearly, but Lu Fei They look at the people holding torches below in the dark but they are very clear, and more than 20 people came out this time.
Several party members stationed at the foot of Lu Fei and their mountain for a while, as if they couldn't see it really, so they got off the horse and wanted to go up the mountain, but they climbed a few steps and stopped, and then shouted incomprehensibly, and after a while, more than 20 party members gathered around him, took off their longbows, and aimed at the mountainside together.
Lu Fei saw it clearly, a big move in this ghost place could fall to the bones, and he couldn't hide, and he became a live target.
Whoosh! Broken arrows can't hold on to rocks or get stuck in the snow.
The sound of arrows slicing through the air was particularly frightening in the dark night, and there was no power to fight back at all, but because of this terrain, most of the arrows that came out of the storm were blown away from the direction by the strong wind, and only a few arrows stayed near Lu Fei and the others.
Suddenly, an arrow was inserted into Lu Fei's body next to Cao Keming, he leaned forward, just about to open his mouth, Lu Fei was faster, as soon as he raised his hand, he tightly covered his mouth and supported him, not letting him make a sound or letting him move, and the rest of them were also busy covering their mouths, at least this could ensure that even if they were unlucky, they would not affect their comrades.
Lu Fei slowly let go of Cao Keming and went to check his wounds, fortunately, the arrow hit his arm, and he didn't know if it hurt his bones, he didn't dare to deal with it casually at the moment, just whispered: "Tie Hammer follow me, the rest of the people stay here and take care of him."
Cao Keming gritted his teeth and grabbed Lu Fei's hand and said, "Lu Dutou, I'm a burden to my brothers again."
Lu Fei turned around and said: "They are all brothers, no one wants to die here, hold on, let's go back"
Through a burst of moonlight out of the clouds, Tie Hammer and Lu Fei have climbed to the top of the mountain, groping along the wall of the Great Wall to find the entrance to the beacon tower, the beacon tower collapsed very seriously, adobe bricks and stones are scattered everywhere, and the disrepair can only end up like this, the Great Wall has long lost its due role under the iron hooves of the Hu people.
Following the broken steps in the beacon tower, the two climbed up the Great Wall, where the snow was very thick, and it seemed that they had not walked on it, and they looked left and right along the Great Wall, and could not see anything clearly.
The two of them slowly poked their heads out of the battlements of the Great Wall, and they were surprised again and again, good fellows, the valley was densely packed with tents, and there were bonfires burning in the tents, and there were figures shaking in it, and from time to time there were groups of cavalry walking back and forth between the tents, and there was indeed a military camp here.
Tie Hammer glared and swallowed saliva in surprise: "Boss, let's make a great contribution this time, do you think General Dai will reward us with one person and one girl, how many rabbit cubs do you say there must be here?"
Lu Fei didn't bother to pay attention to him, but just observed the terrain in the entire valley through the bonfire in the valley camp, but it was too dark to see clearly, and he didn't know how many exits there were in this valley.
Lu Fei turned to Tie Hammer and said, "Okay, you go back, take Cao Keming and them, go to Yanzhou to wait for General Dai, and tell him about the situation here."
"What about you?" ”
Lu Fei put his hand to his mouth and said with a few hot breaths: "I want to explore the mountains here, if you want to fight, you have to wrap it up, and don't let them slip away." ”
Tie Hammer was surprised: "You want to go to the valley?" Looking for death."
Lu Fei patted him on the shoulder and said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, let's go, tell General Dai, no matter whether I come back or not, as long as the army arrives and attacks immediately, the strength of the party will be about 30,000 people in total, a bite is a bite, don't expect to finish the battle."
Iron Hammer was in a dilemma, and in the end he couldn't do it, so he had to return the way he came.
Lu Fei also came down from the Great Wall, rested in the beacon tower for a while, recovered some strength, and waited for the iron to beat them away, so as not to accidentally alarm the other party and attract the party to search for them.
Half an hour later, he climbed up again, and walked along the Great Wall, but from the side of the Great Wall, he could only see the valley at the foot of the Great Wall, and the opposite side was pitch black.
Looking at the moon in the sky, Lu Fei is still making determination, it is too risky, it is estimated that there must be thousands of people below, and if you are careless, you will never see tomorrow's sunrise, is it worth taking such a big risk? Qiao Niang may be looking forward to Bianliang City.
This person has been making choices all his life, as if he is making choices all the time.
The wind and snow rose again, Lu Fei touched the valley along the mountain, this toss, the sky was nearly zero morning, and there was a slight light in the eastern sky, but the valley was still very dark, there was no trace of wind, it was a good place to shelter from the wind and snow, the fire in the tent also became very weak, and a series of snoring sounds could be heard everywhere, Lu Fei waited at the edge of the camp, waiting for the space between the patrolmen, he gradually walked towards the camp with his waist bent, the party members did not have the habit of forming a fence, they just surrounded the camp with oxen and carriages.
Seeing that the patrol had just passed, Lu Fei moved quickly, and was just about to get under the carriage, but he only heard a sound of 'ding moaning' from beside him.
Lu Fei secretly scolded:!
The party was tricky enough, he didn't even notice where the bells were, and it was too late to regret it, and at this moment, he could see several figures walking towards him from the carriage.
Lu Fei looked around, and then looked at the clothes he was wearing, and immediately got out of the car, swaggering around searching, occasionally picking up a few wet woods, and holding them in his arms.
Five or six party members surrounded him and shouted at him, Lu Fei couldn't understand it, but he shook the wet wood in his hand, and opened his mouth to make a few babbling sounds, Lao Tzu is dumb Okay, can you speak party dialect is amazing, do you know how to speak Chinese?
Several party members were stunned, and then laughed and went elsewhere, seeing that their expressions seemed to be laughing at Lu Fei for being a fool and actually picking up wet firewood.
In fact, Han people and party members look about the same, as long as they don't speak, they can only be distinguished from their hairstyles, Lu Fei wears a wide dogskin hat on his head, and it is dark, and at first glance there is no difference between him and party members.
In this way, Lu Fei's courage became more and more emboldened, and he simply walked in the camp with a few sticks of firewood generously, and occasionally a few party members passed by him and no one paid attention to him, so this kind of weather ghost would believe that someone had touched here.
Lu Fei walked around the camp like this, remembering all the exits in his heart, and when he was about to leave, he found that a round of red sun had climbed the mountain at some point, strange, what a sunny day it was today.
People kept coming out of the tents in the camp, and after a while, the whole camp was noisy, and everyone stood on the edge of the tent when they came out, as if they were waiting for the roll call to be checked.
Lu Fei thought about it, it's broken! He hurriedly walked past the men with his head bowed, searched around, and found a domed tent at the edge of the camp to get in, while no one was paying attention to him.
As soon as he entered, he was startled by the situation inside, a half-naked woman with black hair was about to get up from the fur felt pad, it seemed that she had just gotten up, and a pair of jade peaks were towering on her chest.
The two looked at each other, no one moved, the picture seemed to be frozen suddenly, and it took a long time for the woman to open her mouth and scream, Lu Fei's scalp exploded, and he rushed over with an arrow step, just wanted to raise his hand to stun her, but only heard footsteps outside the tent.
Lu Fei didn't care much, lifted the wide fur quilt and got in, and dragged the woman in, Lu Fei hid behind her, the cold tip of the knife against her smooth back, and said in a suppressed voice: "Dare to talk nonsense and kill you" Lu Fei was stupid as soon as he finished saying this,, can this girl understand Chinese?
