Chapter 153: The Offensive Begins
"It's a pity for Zhuang Hu!" Zhao Yan said regretfully, "I was also a well-known man back then, but I didn't expect that after only a few years of hard work, I would change my appearance!" ”
"No one in this world will remain the same, and the external environment will hook up people's inner desires and sins!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "We can't ask others not to be changed by the surrounding environment, we just hope that we won't be changed by the things we once hated!" ”
"What you said also makes sense, others have the freedom to choose, some things are not used to restrain others to maintain a sincere heart, and some things are just used to keep yourself from forgetting your original intention!" Zhao Yan smiled faintly, "Do what you want to do, with me behind your back, don't worry!" ”
"Yes!"
Although I waited for three more days, these three days were not for nothing. Qinglian Mountain's defense is still very cautious, and the people of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion did not infiltrate strongly, but only touched the bottom of Qinglian Mountain from the mouths of nearby mountain people.
Qinglian Mountain was only last year when people began to enter and blockade, the original by cutting firewood and hunting for a living was also cut off, from their mouths to know that in the early days, a large number of mud and stones were transported down from the mountain every day, it should be digging a cave, and in the early days, people from the government were involved, and they were all driven down the mountain, and they were not very clear about what happened on the mountain after that.
It's just that they are on the mountain all year round, and the situation on the mountain has basically been figured out, and they can find it even with their eyes closed. Zhao Yan made a map according to their descriptions, so that everyone could remember the general situation.
On the third day, the things Jiang Xiaoyu wanted had basically been delivered.
And the action taken against Qinglian Mountain has also officially begun.
The Xiao Cavalry Battalion had laid an ambush in key places earlier according to the route provided by the mountain people, and launched an attack on the mountain after Zhao Yan gave an order.
And as expected, there are a lot of traps on the way up the mountain, but most of the world's talents are concentrated in the Xiao Riding Camp, those traps are insurmountable natural dangers for ordinary people, and the fierce and domineering organs are prohibitive, but for the Xiao Riding Battalion, there is no such concern at all, they have entered the Xiao Riding Camp since they entered, all kinds of training and selection are indispensable to the traps, for them, avoiding and breaking the traps is the instinct that has penetrated into the blood.
Moreover, for some high-level traps, this time Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Yan borrowed a few masters of traps from the Xiaoqi Battalion in the name of Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Yan, and most of the organs in the world came from the hands of these people, or they had already been improved in their hands, so those cardinals thought they were foolproof, in their eyes, they must not be a challenge.
Jiang Xiaoyu watched coldly at the Xiao Cavalry Battalion as if it were swept into Qinglian Mountain, and also deeply understood that if he really wanted to overturn the case for his grandfather, first of all, from the perspective of violence, it would not work, if the force was weak and vulnerable in front of the powerful state machine, if the force was too strong, it would plunge the country into a civil war, the victims were the people, and the benefits were the surrounding countries that were ready to move on the Great Zhou, and for the grandfather who was waiting for the safety of the Great Zhou all his life, this was not what he wanted to see.
However, after most of the day's work, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion had reached the top of the mountain.
A stockade was built on the top of the mountain, the wall was high, and the broken power of the Cardinal Sect was still stubbornly holding on.
"Surrender, spare their lives!" Zhao Yan said coldly.
The Xiao Cavalry Battalion conveyed Zhao Yan's meaning and issued a final warning to the last stubborn resistance, but no one paid attention to the Zhao An of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, behind them was the Sect Master, and they pinned all their hopes on the omnipotent Sect Master.
While waiting in the Xiao Riding Camp, Jiang Xiaoyu had already planned what he was going to do next.
Her fingers wandered over the map, according to the description of the mountain people, the walls of the stockade seemed to be strong, but there was an extremely hidden path behind it, and all they had to do was to sneak in, find Xiahou Sheng, and deal with him.
"I'll go with you!" Bai Shan can't bear to start with the Red Cloth Sect, but he has grievances against Xiahou Sheng and needs to really understand.
"Then I'll go with you!" Although Bai Mei is afraid of the sect leader in her heart, but since she has agreed with Bai Shan, the two of them will buy land to live for a day in the future, if she can't come back, she doesn't have anyone to talk to in this world, compared with that loneliness, she also mustered up the courage to live and die with her.
"Good!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "According to the original plan, we will start acting now!" ”
"Be careful! Remember to come back safely! Zhao Yan looked at Jiang Xiaoyu deeply, and instructed, he glanced at Yang Xing again, "Protect Miss Jiang!" ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, even if your subordinates fight for their lives, they will protect Miss Thoroughly!"
Bai Mei pulled Zhao Yan's sleeve and said in a coquettish voice, "Don't you have anything to say to me?" ”
"Be careful!" Zhao Yan said sincerely, "Come back safely!" ”
"Got it!" Bai Mei smiled, "I know you annoy me, I will definitely come back alive to continue to bother you!" ”
These people, as well as a few people from the Xiaoqi camp who came from the capital, followed the path described by the mountain people and headed towards the village. The reason why this path is hidden is that its path is too dangerous, so there are very few people who know this road, and Jiang Xiaoyu also knows it from an old man who is more than eighty years old.
A few people walked halfway, but there was a cliff in front of them, and there seemed to be no way out, could it be that the old man's memory was wrong, and there was no road ahead at all?
Among these people, Wu Gan's light skills are the highest, he thought for a while and said: "The road here may have been interrupted by a landslide, I'll go over to investigate first, you guys are here later, wait for my news!" ”
Wu Qian's movements were very fast, and it was only a moment to come back, pointing to the front and saying: "The front is really only damaged because of landslides and other reasons, not far ahead, there is a road to connect, there are plants and protruding stones on this mountain, enough for us to go to the road over there, I will lead the way in front, you follow me!" ”
"Good!"
As soon as the words fell, Wu Qian took the lead and flew out, Jiang Xiaoyu and the others followed closely behind, followed his figure, carefully crossed the broken road, and came to the opposite path to continue to move forward.
Perhaps it was the road that was cut off from here that made this road unknown and gave them a chance to sneak in.
"I really didn't expect that this witch is quite powerful!" Because the road is steep, everyone's attention is at their feet, only Bai Mei occasionally says a few words, "Except for some aspects, this aspect is still gentle!" ”
As soon as her voice fell, she received several ambiguous glances, and Bai Mei reacted in hindsight, and hurriedly explained: "He's not having a problem in that regard, it's just that he's too timid!" ”
"Shut up!" Wu Qianqi's face turned pale, and he couldn't wait to immediately seal this woman's mouth and throw her down the mountain.
Bai Shanqiang couldn't hold back a smile: "Don't say a word, if you provoke Wu Qian again, I'm afraid that no one will be able to help you!" ”
Bai Mei stuck out his tongue: "I was obviously praising him, but I didn't appreciate it!" ”
A little time passes, and the sun lingers on the side of the mountain, which will end the day's trip.
"Kill!"
The cavalry took out a kind of hook from their bodies and threw it directly at the city wall, and they climbed up like bats towards the city wall, not as fast as humans.
People are naturally afraid of creatures that are stronger than themselves, and the Xiaoqi battalion of the gods and Buddhas does have the courage to make the enemy chill, and look at them once again like a black tide, like the god of death, but the leader they trust has not been able to save them, the faith in their hearts has long been eaten away little by little, those who have ambitions, consciences, and appeals have really become a kind of victim, their deaths do not have the glorious meaning they understand, perhaps they die like insects, may leave a not glorious mark in the history books.
The remnant sun is like blood, those who have not received formal training, maybe they were just ordinary people in the countryside yesterday, under the butcher's knife of the brave cavalry battalion, fragile as a baby, blood sprinkled all over the city wall, in exchange for their lives, but there is a trace of respect from others? No one knows if they regret sticking to the justice in their hearts.
"Report! Master, they're in! The seriously injured subordinates desperately came back with a report, "We can't stand it, the sect leader should think of a way quickly!" ”
"I know, you go back first!" Xiahou Sheng said lightly.
"Yes!" The man looked at Xiahou Sheng's confident appearance, and his heart was a little more settled, maybe the sect leader's clever plan was still to come!
The subordinates retreated, Xiahou Sheng pressed his temples, he was reflecting on what was wrong with his plan, and it was exposed to the eyes of the court when everything was not fully prepared, making it difficult for his follow-up plan to be carried out, and making those in the official palace who had already fallen to him a wait-and-see state.
After he thought about his plan carefully, a difficult choice he had to face was that the problem with the whole plan might lie with Gu Mingming, after she arrived, because she was eager for revenge, so she vigorously developed the members of the Cardinal Sect and pulled into the official mansion, and although the people of the Cardinal Sect were getting more and more right, they did not have real power to support them, so all the prosperity was just an illusion, and in order to make Gu Mingming happy, he put her needs first, or even what she did, which eventually led to the now irreversible end.
Of course, there is another point, even if his plan can succeed and he can confront the imperial court, will he definitely win? He did underestimate the power of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and underestimated that the imperial court spent a large part of the military expenditure on the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and the sophisticated equipment of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion was not something he could match now, and the court had recuperated in the past few years, although there was no war, but the strength of the army did not retreat, but increased, and he built everything on the basis of ten years ago, and such a result may really be doomed.
Since everything is caused by his own rashness and contempt for the enemy, then he will also accept his defeat calmly.
"Sect Master, the Holy Maiden has arrived!"
"What? What did she come to do? ”
