Wang Yuan slid to the opposite shore like a cloud, the speed was too fast but there was no braking measure, seeing that the cliff was black and rushing towards him, he tried his best to slow down, but he couldn't do it. In a panic, he simply closed his eyes and shrank his head, and the whole person was like a big round ball that hit the pine branches and leaves directly, and shouted to Gongsun Lan standing on the pine branches: "Cousin, dodge away." ”

The next moment, Wang Yuan's whole body fell on a soft body, and the surrounding sand and gravel branches fell, and he suddenly had a gray face.

After spitting out the sand in his mouth, Gongsun Lan's strange voice came from under him: "Why don't you get up quickly?" It's stupid. ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly grabbed the pine branch and got up, so Gongsun Lan was able to stand up, arranging the sideburns and pine needles hanging from the tips of her hair. Wang Yuan hugged Gongsun Lan and shouted, "Cousin is not injured, I was scared to death just now, is the rope loose?" ”

Gongsun Lan said angrily: "I wasn't injured just now, but I was almost injured when I was hit by you like this." Have you forgotten what you were taught? In that case, you need to raise your body and move your feet forward, so that you can use your legs to remove the force of the impact, even if you hit the cliff wall and pine branches, you will not be injured. But you scream and don't know how to protect yourself, if your body hits you directly, wouldn't it be bad? ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "It's okay if you hit it with rough skin and thick flesh, how can you give up your life to block it, cousin, if you hurt your cousin, what should I do?" And what happened when you almost fell off a cliff just now? I was scared of my hands and feet. Let me see where it hits? ”

Wang Yuan stretched out his hand to remove the pine needles and soil chips from the tips of Gongsun Lan's hair, and checked her up and down, constantly asking if it hurt here and there, until Gongsun Lan told her that her whole body was fine, and then she let out a long breath, and the nervous expression on her face relaxed.

Gongsun Lan almost lost her footing just now because the crossbow shot by her arm opened the crossbow did not nail to the trunk of the thick pine tree, but stuck the young branch, and when Gongsun Lan approached, the young branch broke, and this is the accident. Fortunately, Gongsun Lan's martial arts were strong and engrossed, and when his body fell, he lifted it and jumped forward a few feet, and then drew his sword and stabbed it on the cliff wall to stop the fall, so that he was safe and sound.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's finally safe. My cousin is fine. God willing, Bodhisattva blessing. Wang Yuan said happily.

Gongsun Lan saw that Wang Yuan was concerned about this, his eyes were full of tenderness, Erlang really cared about himself to the core, and it was the first time he had seen such a trivial and verbose Wang Yuan. If you don't really like yourself, how can Wang Yuan's temperament make such a mother-in-law's behavior.

"And take care of me, and look at what you have become of yourself, for your face has been scratched by a pine branch, and it is bleeding. It's stupid. Gongsun Lan scolded softly, and reached out to take a cloth towel to wipe a scar on Wang Yuan's face that was scratched by pine needles.

Wang Yuan smiled: "Fortunately, it's my face, if my cousin's face is scratched, then I am a big sin." ”

Gongsun Lan gently wiped Wang Yuan's wound and said angrily: "Don't be so reckless in the future, how can the rope slide without a rope loop that slows down?" Such adventures must be done with caution. ”

Wang Yuan hugged her waist and smiled: "I know, I know, I will remember my cousin's words." ”

Gongsun Lan frowned and looked at Wang Yuan's wound and said, "This small wound doesn't stop bleeding, how is this good?" I'll give you some medicine. ”

Wang Yuan laughed in a low voice: "I heard that saliva can stop bleeding. ”

Gongsun Lan was stunned and said, "What do you mean?" What's the bad idea? ”

Wang Yuan spread his hands and said: "Where do I have any bad ideas, I can wipe it with saliva myself, don't pay attention to such a small wound, let's go up the cliff quickly and find out where General Li Mi's camp is." ”

Wang Yuan reached out and dipped some saliva into his mouth and wiped it on the wound, Gongsun Lan sighed, took Wang Yuan's hand, stepped forward, and gently licked Wang Yuan's cheek wound with his tongue. Wang Yuan felt the softness of the tip of her tongue, and his heart moved, and he reached out to hug it, but Gongsun Lan had already dodged away.

"A smell of blood, salty, disgusting." Gongsun Lan said.

After that, he climbed into the folds of the cliff, and jumped up to the flat ground on the top of the cliff a few times. Wang Yuan laughed and climbed to the top of the cliff following Gongsun Lan's footprints. Gongsun Lan walked on the ground, but Wang Yuan was very hard. Fortunately, a rope hung down soon, Wang Yuan grabbed the rope, and Gongsun Lan pulled hard from above, pulling Wang Yuan to the top of the cliff.

On the top of the cliff, the moon is bright and the wind is clear, and the pine waves and flowing water echo in the ears. Looking back at the city to the west, the lights are still brilliant, standing on a high slope several miles away.

Wang Yuan secretly smacked his tongue and said in a low voice: "The city is a difficult bone to gnaw, this terrain is not conducive to the siege of the army, and it is a little difficult. Our army is on the north bank, and even if we build bridges, it will be difficult for heavy equipment to come over for a while, and it seems that I have made a mistake. ”

Gongsun Lan said softly: "Don't think about this first, it's good to find the two armies of General Li Mi's camp to converge, and then discuss the method of attacking the city at that time." ”

Wang Yuan nodded yes, and the two quickly descended the cliff and sank into the grass growing in the north valley of the cliff, and hurried east. Walking along the valley to the end, he walked for five or six miles, but there was no sign of a large army stationed, not even a scout at night, which made Wang Yuan very puzzled.

There was already a big mountain in front of him, the slopes were covered with endless woods, and the sound of pine waves was surging into his ears like a tide, but there was no sign of soldiers and horses, Wang Yuan couldn't help but stand in the valley at the foot of the mountain and look around.

Could it be that Li Mi and Ge Luofeng's army has not yet arrived as planned? Wang Yuan quickly dismissed this possibility. The combined forces of Li Mi and Ge Luofeng had plenty of time to rush to the city of Lüxi, and although the road from Yaozhou to here was difficult, it was not impossible. There are marching roads between the valleys, and for decades the battles between the Tubo and the Nanzhao and the Tang Dynasty have been fought around Yaozhou, and the roads in the valleys here are also built because of the need for soldiers and horses. He and Gongsun Lan traveled all the way, and they also walked along the clear and discernible path in the valley.

Further on, the avenue leads to the edge of the mountain forest under the hillside, extending to the distance of the black man, could it be that for the sake of safety, Li Mi and Ge Luofeng stationed their soldiers and horses farther away? But the only place where soldiers and horses can be stationed is the valley on the other side of the mountain in front of them, isn't it more than ten miles away? This is completely unorthodox, how can you let your own army join them?

In the middle of the moon, it was already slightly westward, but Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan were confused. The two of them strolled down the hill and slowly approached, but they didn't really have any purpose, but they thought it would be better to look for another trace. When I walked more than 100 steps below the hillside, I suddenly made a slight 'click' sound from the edge of the woods. Several sounds in a row, although subtle, were heard by Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan in their ears. This sound was definitely not the sound of beasts in the mountains and forests, after so many battles, Wang Yuan had already heard that this was the sound of the crossbow stuck on the machine spring. There are people in the woods!

Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan immediately disappeared in the long grass, slightly probing to observe the movement at the edge of the woods, Gongsun Lan soon saw a few blurred figures between the treetops, those figures were lying in ambush on the trees, and the sound of the bow and crossbow just now was exactly what they did. In an instant, Wang Yuan seemed to understand something, and suddenly stood up, Gongsun Lan couldn't stop it, only to see that Wang Yuan had already strode towards the edge of the woodland.

The sound of the crossbow machine spring in the forest was loud, and there were people ambushing on the big trees within dozens of steps to the left, if they were fired at the same time, Wang Yuan was afraid that he would be shot into a hedgehog immediately.

"If you haven't shown up yet, quickly go to Li Mi and Ge Luofeng, and say that I, Wang Yuan, have arrived." Wang Yuan stopped dozens of steps away and shouted loudly.

There was silence in the woods, and after a while, someone jumped off the tree, and several figures slowly walked out of the woods, carrying crossbows in their hands. The bow approached Wang Yuan. Under the moonlight, the outfits of these people could be seen clearly, and they were wearing the same chain armor of the Southern Army of the Tang Dynasty.

"You say...... Are you Wang Yuan, Wang Dashuai? A soldier stood still more than ten paces away, refusing to let go of his bow and crossbow.

Wang Yuan shouted: "You don't know Ben Shuai, so you go and ask Li Mi and Ge Luofeng to recognize it, why don't you go quickly?" ”

The soldier whispered a few words to the soldiers beside him, and several soldiers bypassed Wang Yuan and searched behind Wang Yuan. After a while, several soldiers turned around and whispered to the leading soldier: "There is no sign of anyone else, just these two people." ”

The leading soldier nodded, put down the bow and crossbow in his hand, and said: "Forgive the villain for not knowing your identity, so I wronged Your Excellency here later, and the villain ordered General Li Mi to be sent to you." ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said: "Your vigilance is worthy of praise, it is worthy of being a soldier under General Li Mi, go and report it quickly." ”

The leading soldier gestured, and one of the soldiers quickly turned and ran towards the woods, disappearing a moment later at the edge of the woodland.

Gongsun Lan stood beside Wang Yuan with a long sword in his hand and asked in a low voice, "How do you know that this is Li Mi's soldiers and horses?" We didn't even see General Li Mi's barracks. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "General Li Mi has always been cautious, and he will never let the Tubo people know the traces of his and Ge Luofeng's army before he joins us. Where can 25,000 soldiers and horses be hidden from being known? Of course, it is in the mountains and forests. When I saw these soldiers standing guard at the edge of the woodland, I knew that they must have set up their camp in the woodland. This is also Ge Luofeng's Nanzhao soldiers and horses, I guess it must be Ge Luofeng's idea. This is a brilliant idea, not only do the Tibetans know no trace of it, but even we can't find them. ”

Gongsun Lan suddenly realized that camping in the woodland is exactly what Nanzhao soldiers and horses have always done, and when attacking Nanzhao in the Feidu Bridge last year, Nanzhao soldiers and horses poured out of the forest, and later found several traces of Nanzhao's military camp in the forest. On the slope of the mountain in front of him, the mountains and forests are dense and endless, to put it mildly, it is said that there are 25,000 soldiers and horses, even if 100,000 soldiers and horses are hidden, there will be no trace.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard the sound of footsteps in the woods, the fire flickered, and a group of people came out of the edge of the woodland with torches. When he came to a distance of more than twenty steps, a woman's voice was surprised and shouted, "Is it really a husband?" Is that you? ”

Wang Yuan could hear that it was Princess Aluo's voice, obviously Princess Aluo did not return to Chengdu, but followed his brother on the expedition. Wang Yuan replied loudly: "Ah Luo, is that you?" ”

Princess Arlo cried out in surprise and rushed over the long grass. Who else was looking at her with a smile in the moonlight, Princess Aluo was surprised, and suddenly threw herself into Wang Yuan's arms like a flying swallow throwing herself into the forest.
