Chapter 136: The Cliff
In the dark night, no one noticed that a group of figures were quietly approaching the west gate, but after a while, they finally stopped, and a group of listless night guards swayed through the city, like a group of mourners, tired and bored.
"In this way, what combat power is there!"
Qing Yunfei looked at their figures, a little disdainful, shook his head, but was too lazy to take another look, then waved his hand and continued to move forward.
"Quack ......"
The night cry of the jackdaw is really an ominous omen.
As the shopkeeper said, this place is already deserted, with the smell of rot everywhere, ruins and broken walls, full of gloomy eyes, Qing Yunfei looked at this scene, and felt some body chills, and then looked at Shui Yao, his face was full of timidity, like a frightened rabbit.
"Quack ......"
The terrible screams sounded again, and everyone only felt a chill in their backs, and Qing Yunfei was also a little afraid, because of this kind of fear that should not be there, Qing Yunfei's heart gave birth to a kind of anger.
"Noise!"
Qing Yunfei shouted coldly, then ignored it, and then ordered someone to raise a torch and began to investigate the situation in the vicinity, on the city wall, only the big flag was fluttering, the weather was cold, the soldiers had no intention of keeping vigil, most of them were lying in the arrow stacks dozing, without the slightest sense of urgency.
"This is it."
Qing Yunfei touched the city wall, obviously, the city wall here is a little sunken, and the soil layer on it seems to be a little loose, Qing Yunfei glanced at it, his eyes were full of joy.
"Come on, smash it for me, keep the movement small, don't let the barbarians find out."
At the sound of an order, dozens of soldiers began to move, although this soil was piled up later, but after all, it has been a long time, and it is not easy to get through it for a while.
Qing Yunfei found a slightly clean stone, wiped it slightly, and then asked Shui Yao to sit down first, Shui Yao saw that he couldn't help much, so he sat down obediently.
Before she could sit down, she immediately stood up in shock, and then covered her mouth and nose, trembling, her little face was pale, and she seemed to have no strength to stand.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Shui Yao suddenly stand up, Qing Yunfei was also startled, fortunately, Shui Yao didn't make too much noise, so she didn't alarm anyone, only the jackdaw was still croaking......
"Head...... Hair! ”
Shui Yao saw Qingyun flying over, and immediately lay in Qingyunfei's arms, then closed her eyes and pointed to the ground, her mouth was constantly fighting.
"Huh?"
Qing Yunfei comforted Shui Yao first, then lowered his head and looked at the ground, which was a little blurry, and immediately asked people to raise the torch again, only then did he see clearly what was on the ground.
"Hiss......"
I don't know if I don't see it, Qing Yunfei gasped, the hair all over the ground grew in the soil, black and dense, like a leek born on the ground, at this moment, Qing Yunfei suddenly remembered what the shopkeeper said, and there was a dignified look in his eyes for the first time.
He glanced at it, and then blocked it with stones, if he let his soldiers see it, more or less, it would still affect morale, now is a critical moment, there is no room for mistakes, if something goes wrong, he will not even have a way out.
This ghost place is really infiltrating, Qing Yunfei couldn't help urging his subordinates to speed up, after the outermost soil layer was turned over, there were neat wall tiles inside, everyone just felt a little disappointed, and then found that these wall tiles were just built in, and they could be taken out with a hand, which greatly encouraged everyone's confidence.
The wall bricks were taken out piece by piece, and after a while, an exclamation sounded from within the city wall, Qing Yunfei heard this exclamation, and then frowned, what kind of place is this, why is it so careless, and then stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "What happened, what's the matter with you, how dare you shout loudly?" ”
The soldiers at the front heard Qing Yunfei's low shout, and immediately turned pale, and then said: "General, come and see, ...... here"
"Humph......"
Qing Yunfei looked at these soldiers coldly, and then stepped forward, a soldier held the torch in front of him, and walked to him, he was also taken aback, only to see an empty space in front, only one brick platform, the brick platform is surrounded by strange ornaments, it is the ancient sacrificial pattern on the side of the South Prison, on the brick platform, there is a box on it, full of dust.
He frowned, looked at the box, and then walked forward, walked to him, Qing Yunfei seemed to think of something, and then said: "You go on, open the way, we must go out of the city before dawn!" ”
At the sound of an order, everyone woke up like a big dream, and then began to work again, now only the outermost city wall is left, and the outermost layer is not easy to get through, so everyone is working together to chisel.
Seeing that everyone began to work in earnest, Qing Yunfei walked to the brick platform, and at this time, Shui Yao also walked over, looking at this strange brick platform, Fang Cai's fear gradually turned to curiosity about the brick platform.
"What is this, did your father tell you?"
Qing Yunfei looked at Shui Yao and pointed to this weird brick platform.
Shui Yao also stared intently at this brick platform, shook his head and said, "Daddy never mentioned it to me. ”
"Alas......"
Looking at this weird brick platform, Qing Yunfei was a little inexplicable, thought about it, and finally took out the box, and before he could see it, there was a sway, and outside the city wall, the dust was flying.
"It's done, it's done, it's finally done."
After a cough, everyone burst into tears of joy.
Qing Yunfei also laughed when he saw the scenery outside the city, and then strode out.
"Who?"
Smashing through this wall, the sound is really not small, the barbarians on the city wall are not full, even if they rest, they can't rest well, this swaying, the movement is not small, most of the barbarians near the west gate were startled, and then they all stretched out their heads from the city wall and looked down.
Hearing the exclamation on the city wall, Qing Yunfei laughed, there was no need to hide at this time, he pulled Shui Yao, and then went in the direction of the camp, more than a dozen guards followed, and their faces were full of joy.
After a while, the barbarians on the city wall finally arrived here, only to see a big hole on the city wall, all gasping for air, seeing a little spark in the distance, they were all afraid for a while, fortunately it was out of the city, if someone came in from here, the dust was closed, and it was dangerous!
The news soon spread to the city lord's mansion, the city lord heard the news, his face was not surprised, there was no panic, the general trend has gone, this dust pass can not be guarded, he is lying on the couch, seeing that time is running out.
Out of the dust pass, the air outside seems to be extremely fresh, Qing Yunfei took Shui Yao, eager to go to the camp immediately, but everyone under his command was busy all night, he was tired, and he walked not far, and then found a place and began to rest.
It was already very close to the camp of the low mountain, Qing Yunfei had just rested, and it didn't take long for him to clatter, and a crisp horse's hooves sounded in the distance.
As soon as he got out of the tiger's mouth, Qing Yunfei heard the sound of horses' hooves, and immediately became nervous, he made a gesture, and then lowered his body, and everyone saw Qing Yunfei's order, on the one hand, he hid his body, and on the other hand, he already clenched the knife in his hand.
In a moment, a five-man ranger approached, all dressed in barbarian clothes, but they didn't look like barbarians.
Qing Yunfei was a little puzzled, but it was dark at night, and he couldn't see clearly, so he could only lie there silently, pricking up his ears, hoping to hear something.
Slowly, these people finally approached Qing Yunfei, Qing Yunfei watched them approach step by step, pressed his hand on the knife, and after a few more steps, the horse's hooves were about to step on him.
"There's nothing unusual here, let's go, go somewhere else."
A pure Chinese word sounded from the mouth of the knight at the head, Qing Yunfei smiled first, and then walked out of the grass, Qing Yunfei walked out, the rest of the guards naturally had no reason to hide, more than a dozen guards immediately surrounded the five patrol horses, the five patrol horses saw a few figures suddenly burst out in the night, immediately drew out a long knife, and then shouted: "Who are the fans?" ”
Qing Yunfei snorted lightly, looked at the five people, and then said, "You don't even know me anymore?" ”
The five people held their torches high and looked at each other, who it was not Qing Yunfei, they glanced at each other, and then knelt on the ground: "I've seen the general." ”
Qingyunfei bravely crowned the three armies, who doesn't know, that one doesn't know, these five people saw Qingyunfei, full of joy, Qingyunfei saw that it was someone from his own camp, and he also felt a little warm, and then let everyone get up, and the knight led by him glanced at Qingyunfei, and then asked: "Why is the general here?" ”
"You don't need to know about this matter, where the general is, take me to see him quickly."
Qing Yunfei hugged Shui Yao to the horse, and then jumped up, let the five people lead the way, looked at the sky, and said loudly: "Brothers, I will be home soon, after I go back, I will have a hot meal, and then sleep with him beautifully all day." ”
Hearing Qing Yunfei say this, everyone was tired and swept away, and then followed Qing Yunfei towards the camp, the morning star was rising, it was a bright and sunny day, South Prison, and finally there was a time to see the light of day again, Qing Yunfei looked at Shui Yao, who was a little asleep, and then threw out another whip, the horse was in pain, and ran faster.
The banner of the Chinese army stood in the wind, looking at this big battalion, Qingyunfei smiled, after a long parting, he finally returned here.
"What, Qingyun flew back?"
After Han Ju heard the news, he was also shocked, but Liu Fa slept late last night and hadn't woken up yet, Han Ju thought about it, but still didn't report it.
After Qingyunfei settled Shui Yao, he was also exhausted, but the things in the city were important, and now the dust pass was only the last blow, and once the dust pass was broken, the barbarians no longer had the military heart, and the danger of rushing to the city would be solved.
Unconsciously, Qing Yunfei already felt that he was no longer a barbarian, he was tired of the days of eating human blood, and following Liu Fa, he was already moving closer to a normal Hanmin step by step.
The sky has dawned, although Qing Yunfei is tired, but there is no trace of sleepiness, the city wall is broken such a hole, it is a good opportunity to attack the city, naturally there is no reason to delay.
"Has the general woken up?"
Qing Yunfei had red eyes, and his entire eyelids were a little swollen, but there was a hint of excitement on his face.
Han Ju leaned outside the tent, shook his head slightly, looked at the big tent, and said in a low voice: "The general is resting, and he didn't rest well last night, and the general has been quite worried about you these days!" ”
Death for a confidant!
Qing Yunfei was a little silent when he heard Han Ju's words, and he didn't say a word, and then said again: "You go and call the general, I have an important military plane matter, and I need to report to the general immediately." ”
Han Ju glanced at Qing Yunfei, only to see Qing Yunfei looking at him seriously, he didn't hesitate, nodded, and then immediately entered the big tent.
Not long after, Liu Fa walked out of the big tent quickly in a robe, and when he saw Qing Yunfei, his face was immediately happy, he grabbed Qing Yunfei, nodded his head incessantly, said a thousand words, and finally said it, only one sentence remained: "Just come back!" ”
For a period of time, Liu Fa is really a little tired, going north for a long time, the soldiers are also extremely tired, if it is not for the hatred to support them, they have no heart to fight again, the weather is gradually getting colder, after a long time away from their homeland, Liu Fa is also a little homesick.
"Just come back."
Liu Fa took Qingyun and flew into the big tent, and when he saw that Qingyunfei was also a little thin, he couldn't help but sigh.
Qing Yunfei saw that Liu Fa was so caring, and his heart was also extremely warm, but he had never been good at words, so he could only hug his fists, but his eyes were full of emotion.
"I heard Hanju say, you haven't rested since you returned to the camp, you have been running all night, and you will soon arrive at the big tent of the Chinese army again, is there anything important?" Seeing that Qing Yunfei was full of exhaustion and dust, Liu Fa didn't talk nonsense, and then he became serious, looking at Qing Yunfei with some doubts.
As soon as he got down to business, Qing Yunfei immediately became serious, he looked at the marching map on the case, immediately unfolded it, and put it in front of Liu Fa, then pointed to the location of the West Gate, and said in a deep voice: "General, look, the location of this West Gate." ”
Liu Fa was stunned for a moment, then looked at the marching map, he nodded, and asked, "What do you want to say, you might as well say it directly, there is no need to sell Guanzi." ”
Qingyunfei smiled innocently, and then said: "General, you take a closer look at the layout of this dust pass, and then look at the direction of this west gate, generally newly built cities, the city gates are square, you look at the current location of the west gate, and the east gate is not opposite, this is not very strange." “
Liu Fa glanced at it, smacked his lips, and nodded: "Indeed, this layout is extremely unreasonable, logically speaking, the location of the West Gate should be here." ”
Qing Yunfei nodded, laughed, and then said, "What the general said is exactly, I left the city from here last night. ”
"Isn't it? Is this the original location of the West Gate? ”
Liu Fa's heart moved, and then he looked at Qing Yunfei, with some disbelief in his eyes.
Qing Yunfei nodded, and then said: "Originally, the location of the West Gate was opposite to the East Gate, but when the West Gate was first built, there were some bizarre and strange things in the city, so this gate was sealed and a new door was reopened in the current location. The old door was covered with empty soil, and time has passed, and this matter is little known. ”
"Haha, God help me!"
Liu Fa's brain was extremely fast, he immediately understood what Qing Yunfei meant, going north for a long time, if he broke through the dust pass at this time, the southern prison could be determined, and great things could be accomplished.
"Oh, yes......"
Qing Yunfei suddenly remembered something, and then began to grope for it, but after a moment, Qing Yunfei took out a box from his arms, and then put it on the case, looked at Liu Fa, and pointed to the box: "General, in the city gate hole, there is a brick platform, and this thing is placed on the platform, when I went out of the city, I realized that I was in a hurry, and I haven't opened it yet, and I don't know what it is?" ”
Liu Fa glanced at the box, only to see that the box was beautifully decorated, quite extraordinary, and it was not an ordinary thing, Liu Fa stared for a long time, and then said: "So, open it and take a look!" ”
Qing Yunfei nodded, walked over, and carefully opened the box.
There is nothing else in the box except for a seal, this seal is nine dragons, and there are thousands of miles of mountains and rivers under the nine dragons, Qing Yunfei glanced at this seal, and immediately handed it over to Liu Fa's hands.
"Huh......"
Liu Fa had never seen this kind of thing, but he thought this thing was very extraordinary, he glanced at the bottom of the seal, and the doubts in his eyes were even worse, there was not a word on the seal, just some strange patterns, this pattern was not a painting, and it didn't look like any text, and Liu Fa couldn't see what this thing expressed.
The material of this seal didn't look like a stone, at least, Liu Fa had never seen such a stone.
After staring for a long time, Liu Fa finally couldn't find any useful information, and then he didn't pay attention to it anymore, just put it aside, he glanced at Qing Yunfei, and said, "What is the situation in the city now?" ”
Qing Yunfei finally came back to his senses, and said with a strong spirit: "The grain and grass in the city are exhausted, there is no grain and grass available in the granary, the army is discouraged, even if the city is not attacked, these barbarians will not be able to support it, and they will inevitably withdraw from the dust pass. ”
"That's great!"
Liu Fa nodded, looked at the cold move on the side, and then ordered: "Quick, spread Jiang Baiyan, Xin He, and Lu Xuan into the tent, and after the tea, raise the account." ”
But in a moment, everyone came together, as soon as they entered the tent, everyone saw Qingyunfei, and then they were all happy, not seen for a few days, everyone was extremely worried, but today Qingyunfei was already in the big tent, how to teach them not to be happy.
After a cold talk, Liu Fa finally spoke again, he stood up, looked at everyone, paced in the tent for a while, and then smiled loudly: "Everyone, the city is broken on this day, break through the dust pass, let, go home!" ”
As soon as the words came out, several people were stunned, and then their faces were full of joy, as soon as the dust barrier was broken, the barbarians had no foundation in the southern prison, and the barbarians who rushed to the city had no way to retreat.
This means that they can go back to the southern prison, the weather is getting colder and colder, there is not much food and grass in the army, and the soldiers do not have winter clothes.
Home, what a distant word, but now it is so close, everyone can no longer hold back the excitement in their hearts, and begin to sigh.
Seeing the commotion in the tent, Liu Fa smiled slightly, coughed lightly, and everyone immediately quieted down.
