Coming out of Chen Guogong's mansion, the smile on Mo Xiaobai's face gradually faded.

A person who is dominated by desire does not deserve sympathy, but is the best object of exploitation and betrayal.

It was dark and he couldn't go out of the city, and Mo Xiaobai was not in a hurry, avoiding the city patrols along the way, and quietly returned to the wing room of the Xishi Restaurant that had been booked before.

It wasn't until dawn the next day that Mo Xiaobai went out to eat the Hu cakes sold by two stalls before slowly leaving the West Gate. Half a day later, he rushed to a suburban village outside Chang'an called 'Big Locust Tree Township', and handed over the token to Yang Jiu, a hunter who lived at the foot of the mountain.

"I know what the head of the family wants, please wait a while, I'll contact the others, everything is going well, and I can leave before tonight."

"Okay."

Mo Xiaobai bowed his head, and he just happened to be able to rest after a long day's journey.

Another half of the day passed, and seeing that the moon was about to rise overhead, Mo Xiaobai finally waited for the departing hunter, and there were more than a hundred men who came back with him.

They were all about forty years old, and everyone had their own weapons.

"Let's go."

Mo Xiaobai didn't delay any longer and waved his right hand to speak directly, he didn't need to know all the more than 100 people, as long as he confirmed that they were indeed veterans who crawled out of the pile of dead people.

A group of people left their hometown at a hurry, trying to only take the mountain road and not the main road along the way.

Although the road was slippery on rainy days and the speed of travel could not be fast, Mo Xiaobai knew very well that his speed was not fast enough, and the princess's peace mission would definitely be slower, so even if it was a few days late, there was still enough time to catch up.

Four days in the rain, that is, late at night on the fifth day after entering the dungeon, Mo Xiaobai saw the Tanlongwei who was waiting to be answered.

The next morning, a storm crackled and fell.

Mo Xiaobai finally joined Li Guang and Cheng Yu.

Taking hundreds of people into the natural cave that Li Guang found, Mo Xiaobai just sat down to warm up by the fire, and then asked, "What is the situation on your side now?" ”

Cheng Yu opened his mouth when he heard this: "My lord, this rain is getting more and more urgent, and the mission is temporarily staying in Diezhou Mansion, sixty miles to the north. ”

Sheltering from the rain in Diezhou?

Mo Xiaobai nodded when he heard this, this is good news.

But Cheng Yu didn't finish speaking, and paused for a moment before continuing: "In addition, we also found that there is also a welcoming army and horse in the south that stopped in Wenzhou, which should have come from the Sword Gate, and the scale is about eight hundred. ”

As Cheng Yu finished speaking, Mo Xiaobai understood his situation.

There are 2,000 people from the Heqin delegation and 800 guards led by Lu Dongzan, and 800 soldiers led by the Yumen Pass guard. Counting together, the scale of more than 3,000 and close to 4,000 people is more than enough to organize a small campaign.

"So you can't do it brutely, you have to find a way."

Mo Xiaobai touched his chin, and then scanned his surroundings.

The location chosen by Li Guang and Cheng Yu is not bad, but there is a distance from the avenue, which is convenient for monitoring the movement on both sides. But Mo Xiaobai didn't plan to wait stupidly, so the best thing to do was not to give the mission a choice, leaving only the only avenue for them to pass.

"This rain came at a very timely time."

The corners of Mo Xiaobai's mouth were low, and then he whispered a few words in Li Guang and Cheng Yu's ears.

………

Two days later, the clouds cleared.

Princess Wencheng's envoy went out of the city and continued on their way, but after walking only twenty miles, the Tanma in front of them quickly returned and sent back a few not very good news to the mission.

Several of the main roads ahead were cracked in the ground, blocked by mud and rocks, and broken trees and horizontal fences, leaving only the left mountain road, which was also difficult to navigate, but at least barely passable.

"Then take the official road to the east."

Li Daozong didn't think that under the prosperous world, someone dared to jump out to find trouble, and made a decision almost without thinking. Lu Dongzan didn't want the mission to return to Diezhou again because of this kind of thing, so he nodded and agreed immediately.

The carriage and horses moved forward, and this time it was unimpeded.

But the good times were short-lived, and in the evening of the same day, there were mudslides on both sides of the avenue again.

Lu Dongzan and Li Daozong, who were in the middle of the procession, almost watched as nearly 500 elite soldiers and plateau warriors were buried in the mud together.

The landslide in an instant is more ferocious than the flood beast.

Li Daozong didn't have time to react, and the disaster had already happened.

When the mudslide in front of him engulfed everything in the path, Li Daozong woke up suddenly and hurriedly ordered: "Stop, stop, retreat, turn around and exit this mountain road." ”

Lu Dongzan was also dumbfounded at this time, in order to show that Tubo did not have the power to fight the whole country, he brought all the first-class heroes this time, not to mention being buried in the mudslide, even if he lost any of them, he was distressed.

But at least 200 people were buried in the ground due to the sudden mudslide.

How can this work?

Lu Dongzan first glanced at the princess's frame, and saw that the frame had slowly retreated, so he hurriedly said to Li Daozong: "Lord Wang, you escort the princess back first, and I will take some people to rescue them." ”

"Saving people? You don't want to die, look at this posture and there will be mudslides at any time. ”

"My Tubo sons won't die so easily, they must be waiting for me to save their lives, leaving a hundred people to protect the princess, and the rest of the sons and daughters will follow me to save people." Although Lu Dongzan is said to be the prime minister of Tibet, he is not a weak scholar. After speaking, he turned over and dismounted, although his body was small but his courage was not small, and he pulled out his knife and was about to go forward to dig up the mudslide.

"Lin Yu."

"The end will be."

"You take the princess back ten miles, appease the accompanying craftsmen, if there is anything wrong, I will ask for you."

Li Daozong said, and also stepped forward.

He can't do it if he doesn't, even if he is afraid that the mudslide will sweep him up now.

But fortunately, Li Daozong's worries did not appear, and when the princess's frame slowly evacuated, the first lucky guy was finally rescued, and he was the pawn of the Chang'an Right Guards Battalion who was responsible for the escort mission.

One, two, three.........

As more and more living people or bodies were exhumed, the sky grew darker.

Looking at the messy corpses on the side, Li Daozong wiped his forehead with his muddy arm, and gasped: "The corpses of the soldiers can't be abandoned in the wilderness, and they will be cremated and sent back to Chang'an." ”

Lu Dongzan also gave the cremation order to the Tibetan warriors on the side, but after finishing speaking, he lowered his head at a loss.

"Don't be too sad, they just went to reincarnate before us."

Li Daozong patted Lu Dongzan's arm and said a word of relief. Lu Dongzan raised his head at this time and said, "Don't you think that today's incident is too strange?" ”

"Strange?"

Li Daozong pondered when he heard this, and said in confusion: "Do you think this is a man-made disaster?" ”

"Isn't that possible?"

Lu Dongzan didn't dare to say it to death, but now he became more and more suspicious that there was something wrong with it.

On the other side, there are problems on both mountain trails, and this side is good. When they passed, the road under their feet suddenly became problematic again.

Could it be that the mudflow is still waiting for itself?

"I'm afraid you're too careful, if there is really a problem, you and I may not be able to save our lives." Li Daozong shook his head at the moment and said, "Don't be suspicious, the princess is okay now, isn't it?" ”
