Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan did not bring any entourage, and took advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun to move east along the river bank. It's not that Wang Yuan wants to take risks, but it is also a burden to bring more personal guards to follow, because it is necessary to cross the river to find the location of Li Mi's army, and it is also a burden to bring other people. As long as there is a suitable section for crossing the river canyon, he can use the tools he assists to set up ropes, and Gongsun Lan can carry himself across the river.

The two rode along the high north shore and searched. The grass and trees on the cliff are as deep as the horse's belly, although there are traces of the old road, but no one has walked for too long, and the road is overgrown with wild grass. On the right was a deep canyon and a river, and the two did not dare to let their horses gallop, but only walked slowly and cautiously.

The sun set much faster than expected, and soon the sky and the earth were dark, the four fields were vast, the mountain wind was blowing strongly, the furious ravines were surging, and the howling of unknown beasts was heard between the mountains and forests in the distance, which made people feel inexplicable fear. The two of them were also unconsciously vigilant, although they knew that it was impossible for the beast to hurt them, and it was impossible for the Tubo soldiers and horses in the city of Lyri, which was on the other side of the river, to come to the north bank, but they still felt a sense of compassion in their hearts.

Fortunately, not long after, the bright moon rose in the eastern sky, although it was not a full moon, but it also illuminated the path, and my heart was a little more stable. Counting the days, nearly a month has passed from the middle of last month to today, and before I know it, it is almost the middle of April.

"Cousin, let's be considered a wandering under the moon, it's quite interesting." Wang Yuan laughed in a low voice.

Gongsun Lan chuckled and said, "If you take a look at the south bank, I'm afraid you won't have any interest anymore." ”

Wang Yuan looked to the south bank, but saw that the city was brightly lit, the soldiers and horses in a big city were restless, and there was a faint noise coming, and the shadows on the city wall were flashing with torches, looking like a great enemy, obviously he had learned of the arrival of the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses, and was stepping up the arrangement of defending the city.

"It's really no fun, it seems that the Tubo people already know that our army has arrived, their watchtower is so high, the four fields can see it clearly, my army is coming, how can I not know?" Wang Yuan groaned.

Gongsun Lan nodded and said: "It will be another fierce battle in the near future, there must be a lot of defenders in Lyre City, and I don't know how many more battles like this will be experienced on this expedition." ”

Wang Yuan said: "Is my cousin tired of such days? ”

Gongsun Lan sighed and said, "Who wants to live such a life? If it weren't for you, I would never live such a life, I would rather find a mountain and a quiet place to live a quiet life. ”

Wang Yuan said softly: "It's all because I'm tired, I'm sorry." ”

Gongsun Lan smiled: "You don't have to take it on yourself, you can't help yourself." I'm just talking about my own thoughts. Maybe one day I'll get tired of it, and I'll hide and find a quiet place to live, and then you won't disturb me. ”

Wang Yuan was startled, hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to hold Gongsun Lan's hand and said, "Cousin, don't scare me, where are you going?" I won't let you leave me, and I'm going to marry you. ”

Gongsun Lan said: "This is a matter of your heart, right?" If you can't get your hands on it, you won't forget it. I'm afraid that if you get it, it's a pair of broken shoes, and you don't care about life or death, right? ”

Wang Yuan shouted: "Wronged, am I that kind of person? Am I such a shameless person in my cousin's heart? ”

Gongsun Lan smiled and said: "Okay, I'll give you a choice, one is that I will leave you after fulfilling your wish, and the other is that I will stay by your side, but you are not allowed to beat my idea, which one do you choose?" ”

Wang Yuan was stunned for a while and said, "Why do you want me to choose between these two choices?" I don't want to choose. If you must choose, you need to add a third option. ”

Gongsun Lan smiled: "What is that?" ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "If you want to fulfill my wish, but you also don't want to leave me, we will be together for the rest of our lives." ”

Gongsun Lan sneered and said, "You think it's beautiful, who wants to mess with you for the rest of your life?" You're a good idea. ”

Wang Yuan saw that Gongsun Lan's smile was beautiful and seductive in the moonlight, and couldn't help but reach over and grab Gongsun Lan's waist to carry her to his horse. Gongsun Lan reprimanded: "What to do? ”

Wang Yuan said in a low voice: "I haven't been intimate with my cousin for a long time, and my cousin will give me your little clove tongue to taste." ”

Gongsun Lan blushed and scolded, Wang Yuan didn't care about it, hugged her over, and hugged her on the back of the horse is a kiss. Gongsun Lan's martial arts, but he didn't dare to show it, or he didn't want to show it, and after a few symbolic struggles, he also hugged his arms back to meet them. A man and a woman kissed endlessly on horseback on a high cliff under the moonlight, anyway, there was no one in the four fields, and Gongsun Lan became no longer reserved, and her fragrant tongue was lightly teased, originally to give Wang Yuan some comfort, but it aroused the evil fire in Wang Yuan's heart. Wang Yuan took advantage of the chaos to untie Gongsun Lan's personal armor, and liberated Gongsun Lan's pair of snow-white double pills from the armor, a pair of snow-white jade rabbits trembled in the moonlight, and the red highlights were like rabbit's eyes staring at Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan reached out and grabbed it, leaned over and gnawed endlessly.

Gongsun Lan let out a dream-like moan, her body was hot and dry, and she couldn't help herself when she was teased by Wang Yuan. Finally, Gongsun Lan bit the tip of her tongue and came to her senses, pushed Wang Yuan away, jumped back on her horse, quickly sorted out her clothes, and rode her horse.

Wang Yuan said helplessly in the back: "Cousin, why don't you fulfill my wish?" ”

Gongsun Lan chirped: "You actually want to do something like that in the mountains and wilderness, and you are still ...... Still on horseback, don't even think about it, what do you think of me? ”

Wang Yuanxin said: "This is Ma Zhen, it is said in later generations that the emperor of your Tang Dynasty likes to do this, but you are from the Tang Dynasty and don't understand this." ”

But such words are extremely difficult to say in front of Gongsun Lan, Gongsun Lan is not the wives and concubines in the family who let themselves do whatever they want. However, Gongsun Lan's words seem to be just disgusted with the inappropriate location, which seems to be very promising. Maybe Gongsun Lan likes the big bed quiet room and does that thing comfortably, so if you find out clearly in the future and give her a favorite environment, maybe you can get her long-cherished wish.

Both of them were a little embarrassed, and quietly rode their horses along the river bank, and suddenly Gongsun Lan Lerma stopped and pointed to the canyon above the river on the right: "This place should be able to pass." ”

Wang Yuan was busy watching, but saw that the two sides of the canyon were facing each other, reducing the width of the river a lot. From a distance, the distance between the north bank and the south bank should be within three hundred steps.

"There are a few trees on the cliff on the other side, and it's at the bottom of the cliff, so you should be able to hook a rope." Gongsun Lan's fingers lightly pointed to the bottom of the black cliff on the opposite bank.

Wang Yuan squinted and looked closely, and sure enough, he saw a few trees growing under the protruding cliff, it should be pine trees to grow on the cliff wall, which is a good place to stay.

"It should be a good place, and the distance should be enough." Wang Yuan jumped off his horse and took a crossbow from the saddle. bow, and take off the long rope hanging from the horse's belly, load a crossbow arrow with a hollow tail, tie a piece of rope to the hollow of the arrow's tail, and step on the wrench spring with his foot to jam. This is a common way of shooting rope for bridging engineers in the army, but Wang Yuan changed it slightly to an arm crossbow to fire, the distance will be farther, the strength is more sufficient, and it can be fixed more reliably.

Wang Yuanping's crossbow was aimed at the position above the trees on the cliff on the opposite bank, roughly estimated the factors of wind direction and gravity, pulled the trigger, and the crossbow shot out. The arrow drove the rope forward at a rapid speed, falling in a parabola, and the arrow quickly disappeared into the shadows under the cliff wall on the opposite bank.

The rope slid quickly under the cliff, Wang Yuan hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, and after recovering a few rounds of rope, he found that the rope was not moving, and pulled hard, and the rope straightened in the air, making a buzzing sound.

"Alright, I'll go over after the leash, and you can glide over there." Gongsun Lan jumped off her horse and tied her horse to a small tree.

Wang Yuan wrapped the rope around a big stone and tied it tightly, and whispered, "You must be careful, I don't know if that side is strong." Although I can't pull it, it doesn't mean it's secure. ”

Gongsun Lan smiled and said: "Don't worry, if I fall into the river, remember to teach someone to find my body and bury it, I don't want to feed the fish and turtles in the river." ”

Wang Yuan said: "What did you say?" ”

Gongsun Lan smiled, jumped up and stepped on the rope lightly, and quickly slid along the rope to the opposite shore with both feet as if he were sliding. Wang Yuan looked at Gongsun Lan's figure nervously, the rope swayed from side to side, Gongsun Lan stretched out her arms and swayed left and right at any time, as if she was about to slide down the rope, but she couldn't slide down. Wang Yuan shouted in surprise, and shouted again and again to be careful.

Seeing that Gongsun Lan's figure was approaching the bushes in the middle of the cliff on the opposite bank, Wang Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that he was finally safe and sound. But suddenly, the rope vibrated and bounced like a poisonous snake. At the same time, Gongsun Lan's body shook, her feet soared, and she slipped off the rope, and her body fell straight towards the dark river. Wang Yuan's body broke out in a cold sweat and shouted, "Cousin, be careful." ”

Wang Yuan's liver and gallbladder were violent, but he couldn't do anything, he could only watch Gongsun Lan's body fall rapidly, and it seemed that he couldn't avoid the fate of falling. However, he saw Gongsun Lan in the air volleying close to the cliff, the cold light in his hand flashed, and after an instant, the sparks on the cliff burst out and the sound of gold and iron clashing, after a while, Gongsun Lan's body stopped falling, and his body turned around and disappeared into the shadows of several pine trees above.

Wang Yuan shouted excitedly: "Cousin, are you okay?" ”

Gongsun Lan's figure leaned out of the bushes and waved her hand and shouted, "It's okay, you can come over." ”

Wang Yuan was overjoyed, his hands and feet were weak, his body lost his strength, and he sat on the ground and adjusted for a moment before he could get up and hang himself on the rope with a rope trap and slide to the opposite bank.
