Chapter 529: Star Gorge

Chu Huan swept down a person with one leg, the knife behind him was sharp, fast and urgent, but it seemed that he really wanted to kill Chu Huan alive, Chu Huan didn't dodge, but leaned back, before the big knife fell, his back had already hit the chest of the person behind him, his elbow slammed back, and hit the man's ribs hard, and there was a sound of broken bones, the man screamed, retreated a few steps back, Chu Huan didn't look back, a back leg, kicked back, the person's body was kicked out, "bang", hit a stone pillar, Then he fell down softly and lay on the ground, unable to move for a while.

Chu Huan clenched the blood drinking knife, and went to Mei Niang's side, only a few steps, the figure in front of him was shining, and under the starlight, he clearly saw that five or six Xiliang soldiers wearing Xiliang military uniforms appeared from behind the stone pillars, and the fur on their heads was full of white wool fluttering, which was the most ordinary Xiliang soldiers.

Chu Huan didn't expect that so late at night, there would be many Xiliang soldiers in Shilin, he clenched his knife, his face was fearless, and suddenly he felt that there was a figure shaking next to him, and more than a dozen Xiliang soldiers appeared in front of him and behind him.

These Xiliang soldiers were all looking at Chu Huan, Chu Huan frowned, but heard the sound of scolding, and then saw Mei Niang and Qiluo actually had knives around their necks, and a group of Xiliang soldiers escorted the two over.

Seeing Chu Huan, Mei Niang smiled helplessly, but Qiluo gritted her silver teeth tightly, and her face showed anger.

Chu Huan's expression was cold, and at this moment, a person came out of the crowd, although this person was dressed the same as an ordinary soldier, but Chu Huan could see clearly that the tasseled hair on this person's hat was a horsetail hair, and he was a centurion.

The centurion raised his knife, pointed at Chu Huan and said, "Put down the knife, otherwise you will be killed on the spot!" The voice was unusually cold, and there was no room for negotiation.

Chu Huan knew that at this moment, the other party was already in control of the situation, there were dozens of them, and they surrounded themselves, not saying whether they could kill them, only saying that once they made a move, Mei Niang and Qiluo would definitely be in danger of their lives, and they also threw the blood drinking knife on the ground happily at the moment, and said with a smile: "I heard that the warriors of Xiliang are all upright and upright against people, but I didn't expect you to take advantage of people unpreparedness and suddenly sneak attack!" ”

The centurion didn't argue, but asked in a cold voice, "How many of you still have it?" ”

Chu Huan frowned and said, "I don't understand what you mean. ”

"You are obviously from Qin, but you are wearing my Xiliang military uniform, so you are naturally a Qin State spy in disguise." The centurion said coldly: "In addition to the three of you, how many Qin State spies are there?" ”

Qiluo finally couldn't help but scold: "Are you blind? Is this girl from Qin? ”

A sneer appeared on the corner of the centurion's mouth, and he said indifferently: "As a native of Xiliang, but you colluded with the Qin people, you deserve death." ”

"Whew!" Qiluo was with Chu Huan and Mei Niang before, and it seemed clearer, but at this time, he finally broke out and shouted at the centurion: "You hurry up and let us go, otherwise you will bear all the consequences...... Even your little centurion, you can't afford it, let us go, or I want you to look good! ”

She was like an enraged she-leopard, and she looked very wild, and although her hands were tied, and she still had a bright saber around her neck, she did not have the slightest fear, and bared her teeth, as if she really wanted to pounce on the centurion and tear the centurion to pieces.

Chu Huan had never seen Qiluo so strong, he was stunned at first, and then heard her call this centurion "little centurion", and his heart was even more puzzled, you need to know that if Qiluo is just an ordinary Xiliang person, it is impossible to call it like this, the centurion is already a high-level official in the Xiliang army, and he is in charge of hundreds of soldiers, such a person, but he is still "small" in Qiluokou, which can only show that Qiluo's identity is not ordinary.

In fact, Chu Huan was very curious about Qiluo's identity, at least the bag of gold that Qiluo took out last time was not something that ordinary Xiliang people could take, and it was impossible for ordinary Xiliang women to run to the desert with only one person, even so, Chu Huan still couldn't guess what kind of identity Qiluo was.

The centurion frowned when he heard Qiluo's shouting, but the Xiliang soldiers next to him scolded: "Stop, shout again, I will cut you with a knife!" ”

But the centurion raised his hand, and the Xiliang soldier immediately stopped talking, he walked up to Qiluo, looked up and down, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" Why with the Qin people? ”

"Who are you?" Qiluo's chest straightened, forced him to look at the centurion, and asked rhetorically: "Together with the Qin people, there is a crime of collusion?" Are the Qin people who entered Xiliang all Qin spies? ”

The centurion was not a reckless person, and when he saw Qiluo's unusual demeanor, he groaned slightly, and then said: "I am the centurion of the Zhuoyan Division!" ”

"It turned out to be someone from the Zhuoyan Division." Qiluo said: "That's your own people, let us go quickly!" ”

"Your own people?" Kulithal was stunned, and then frowned, "Who are you?" Why are you with the Qin people? Why did you go to Zhuoyan Stone Forest? ”

"So this is Zhuoyan Stone Forest?" Kira blinked, "So how far is Star Gorge from here?" ”

Khurital said in a deep voice, "Answer me first, who are you?" We are the patrols of the Zhuoyan Stone Forest, and we are ordered to guard this place, what do you want to sneak here? He raised his hand and pointed at Mei Niang, "These two people are both Qin people, why are they wearing the military uniforms of my Xiliang warriors?" After a pause, his voice became cold: "Where did you get these military uniforms?" ”

Chu Huan finally said: "Centurion, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here." Thinking about whether he should tell his identity, Qiluo had already said: "The military uniform was picked up by us on the road, so you don't have to ask more." You let people go down first, I don't like to be pointed at with a knife. ”

"But you haven't told me who you really are." Kulithal said: "Rhetoric, don't think about getting by." He turned around and pointed at Chu Huan and said, "Come on, take it!" ”

The soldiers of Xiliang stepped forward like wolves and tigers, and Qiluo had already shouted: "Stop! ”

Xiliang Bing was stunned for a moment, then looked at Kulithal, who looked back at Qiluo and asked, "What qualifications do you have to give orders here?" ”

Kira said angrily: "You ......, I am ......!" Suddenly, he showed hesitation, glanced at Chu Huan, and didn't say who he was after all.

Mei Niang glanced at Qiluo on the side, and said: "When is it, if you can really control them, let them let us go, otherwise don't pretend to be a ghost here, don't even dare to say who you are, you really think you can bluff these three indiscriminate!" ”

Mei Niang is a smart woman in ice and snow, naturally she has long seen that Qiluo's identity is not ordinary, Qiluo shows a superior posture in front of the centurion, Mei Niang can see that this is a purely natural reaction, and it is really not Qiluo's pretended posture, this Xiliang woman with a hot figure is exaggerated, in front of these Xiliang soldiers, she can't help but show a lofty posture, and it also shows that her identity is definitely not ordinary.

It's just that Mei Niang also saw that Qiluo seemed to have scruples and was unwilling to reveal her identity, Mei Niang really believed that Qiluo's true identity might really be able to suppress these Xiliang soldiers, so she spoke stimulatingly, using the method of agitation, and only hoped that Qiluo would show her true identity and get out of the current predicament.

If you call these Xiliang soldiers the next three indiscriminate, that is Mei Niang has a grudge, today because of a dispute with Chu Huan, I feel a little unhappy, I found a place to sulk and rest, I might as well let these Xiliang soldiers ambush and sneak attack in the stone forest, although her martial arts are not weak, but she faced many Xiliang soldiers with sharp blades with her bare hands, and she was also caught off guard, after all, she was defeated, and when she was in danger, she really thought of Chu Huan, and warned her loudly, at this time, she was very angry at the secret attack of these Xiliang soldiers, although her face looked very calm, But the heart was filled with anger.

Qiluo listened to Mei Niang's ridicule, and immediately glared at Mei Niang, and said angrily: "Shut up, it's not your turn to speak." ”

Mei Niang smiled disdainfully and didn't look at her.

"The patriarch of the Zhuo Yan tribe is Zhuo Yan Lun, where is he now?" Kira glared at Khulithal, "You let him come out to me!" ”

Centurion Kulithal is also a very good person to observe words and feelings, he looks rough, but he is a cautious person, looking at Qiluo's behavior, he really thinks that this Xiliang woman is not ordinary, but he does not pretend to be pretentious, and frowns: "You have repeatedly concealed your identity, what do you want?" And the chief of the fathers, can you see it when you say it? ”

Seeing that Kurithal was not enlightened, Kira's face showed annoyance, and he said to Khurital: "Kulital, if you hurt the three of us by the hair, your whole family will surely die without a place to be buried, but if you can let us go, this ...... This girl will make sure you have a reward! After struggling for a while, Xiliang Bing's hand was forced, and the blade was even more close to her throat, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Don't move!" ”

Kira had already said, "Untie my rope!" ”

Kulithal hesitated for a moment, but actually motioned to his men to untie the rope that bound Kira's hands, and Kira raised his hand to go deep into his arms, took out a money bag, and threw it to Kulital, "This is a reward from this girl, and you won't let us go?" ”

Seeing this, Chu Huan knew that Qiluo wanted to use money to buy a road, although this was also a method, but when he saw Qiluo throw the money bag to Kulithal in public, he couldn't help but sigh.

Since these people are arranged here, it can be seen that this place is important, if the money is secretly stuffed to Kulithal alone, it may not be impossible to buy it, but in front of so many people, how dare Khuritaler be bribed, there are twenty or thirty people around, if this matter is leaked out, Kulithal will definitely be unlucky.

Qiluo knew the method, but he couldn't use the method, Chu Huan could only sigh in his heart, and as Chu Huan expected, Kulitaler threw the money bag back, and said in a deep voice: "I, Kulital, a dignified Xiliang warrior, how can I be bought by you?" "Righteous and stern, it looks righteous and awe-inspiring.

Chu Huan had already thought at this time that he was an envoy of the Qin State, and it might not make sense with these Western Liang soldiers, but if he could see their patriarch, he would be a person with great status, and he would be able to talk to each other, since this area on the edge of the desert was the territory of the Zhuoyan Ministry, then if Xue Huai'an led the delegation out of the desert from here, he would probably be able to get the news from the Zhuoyan Ministry, and immediately said: "Centurion Hulital, we are by no means the spies of the Qin State, and we are about to visit the patriarch of your tribe, as long as we see the patriarch of your tribe, all misunderstandings will be eliminated." ”

"There is an order from above, once the Qin State spies are discovered, there is no need to ask, and they will be killed on the spot." Kulithal said coldly: "You say that you are not a spy of the Qin State, but how can people believe you in such a dress?" And how can I let you go to the patriarch until I know your identity? ”

When Qiluo heard that Chu Huan was going to see the patriarch of the Zhuo Yan clan, he hesitated slightly, and finally said: "Kulital, you let us see Zhuo Yan Lun, and promise you a great reward, I will ask him to give you thirty sheep, thirty heads is not enough, so I will give you fifty heads!" ”

Khurital was silent, and then he went aside, beckoned, and saw two or three men passing by, all of whom were black wool, and who were captains of ten.

The men muttered for a while, and after a while, Kulital finally came back and said to Qiluo, "I will send someone to escort you to the patriarch, if you are really a spy, then the Zhuoyan patriarch will definitely not spare you." He said in a deep voice: "Mauro! ”

A ten-captain immediately came over and crossed his arms to his chest, "Centurion! ”

"You take ten people...... No, take fifteen men and escort them to the patriarch. Khurital commanded: "Report the situation to the patriarch in detail, and ask the patriarch to adjudicate!" ”

Mauro Shifu immediately said: "Order! ”

Kulithal ordered his subordinates to tie Chu Huan and Qiluo's hands behind their backs, and escorted them to the headquarters of the Zhuoyan Ministry, Mauro took fifteen people and escorted three people on the road, passing through the stone forest, and only a few miles away, but saw that there were two stone hills built on the Gobi, and there were several stone houses on the edge of the stone hills.

The three of them were pushed on the horse, and fifteen Xiliang cavalry surrounded them in front and back, surrounded the three of them, each holding the reins in one hand and the handle of the saber in the other.

Chu Huan didn't know where the headquarters of the Zhuo Yan Department was, so he asked Mao Luo, but Mao Luo didn't pay attention to it, but Qi Luo explained: "The headquarters of Zhuo Yan is on the shore of Moon Lake, and it has to cross the Star Gorge!" Asked where Xingxing Gorge was, Kira shook his head and didn't know.

Along the way, this group of Xiliang soldiers did not speak, although the number was small, but they were in order, each guarding their position, and each Xiliang soldier was paying attention to the movements on the four sides at any time, appearing extremely careful, when riding on a horse, the posture of holding the knife did not even change at all, and it seemed extremely well-trained.

Chu Huan saw it in his eyes, but his heart was also calm, compared to this group of Western Liang soldiers, the combat quality of the Qin soldiers was obviously much lower.

Except for occasional rests and dry rations, these cavalrymen did not stop, and they did not untie the ropes of the three men and feed them water and food.

In this way, it was not until the early morning of the third day that a mountain appeared in the distance.

The mountain is extremely high, getting closer and closer to the stone wall, Chu Huan looked up, but saw that on the stone mountain, there seemed to be a human figure, the stone wall was lined up, but it was very steep, I couldn't see the road up the mountain, stretched out, and looked at it from a distance, a natural barrier of perception blocked the way, between the mountains and rocks, the clouds and mist were shrouded, and there seemed to be no cave, but when I looked closely, I found that the cliff suddenly appeared a gap out, as if it was cut by the sharp axe of the gods, this mountain gap is extremely narrow, steep and abnormal.

Mauro finally turned around and said lightly: "This is Xingxing Gorge!" ”
