Chapter 454: The Messenger
found his sister's bean cola, and quickly sat down, and the little guy was in a good mood, so he ate the meat slices without saying anything, and licked the plate clean.
In the face of this greedy little guy who suddenly appeared, the money on the main seat did not care, and after he ate the delicious roast mutton on the plate, he forgot about the young brothers.
Lift the curtain of the tent, the strong wind of the cold spring is blowing people's cheeks slightly, under the dark night, there is a brightly lit scenery in the Eagle Sorrow Gorge, tens of thousands of torches, occupy the winding mountain road.
"Mulan, three days, we still have three days!" Standing on the commanding heights of the pass, Qian Wuwu looked at the south and said indifferently, at this moment, the mountain road leading to Jincheng was full of refugees.
"With so many people, if they all want to leave, why will it take five days?" Xiao Mulan's eyebrows were tightly twisted, no matter how she calculated, three days was not enough.
"But we only have three days!" Qian Wuwu turned around and looked at Xiao Hucong's shining eyes.
"Huh?" Mulan covered her mouth, and in her eyes reflecting the firelight, she couldn't help but have a glittering halo, and the golden-red streamer was full of worry and reluctance: "Lord Lord, we ...... Is there really no way? ”
Qian Wuwu shook his head slightly, he pointed to the north and said: "It is a foregone conclusion that the wild boar people will take the North Yan Fort, and although the Eagle Sorrow Gorge Pass is small, it is a horn with the North ♂ Yan Castle, guarding the east gate of the Great Plain of the Yan Kingdom. ”
"Are you saying that the boar people will attack Eagle Sorrow Gorge?" Mulan reacted immediately.
"Of course! I estimate that the boar people rest their army and arrange logistics. It takes three days. So ......" Qian Wuwu raised his hand and pressed Mulan's shoulder. His gaze went straight into the eyes of Xiao Hucong.
In fact, Mulan did a very good job, she had already raised a thousand defenders at the pass of Yingchou Gorge, but just this little force was not enough to confront the army of the wild boar people head-on, even if she had a geographical advantage, it would not work.
After all, this is the land of Yan Kingdom. Belong to the Grand Duke of Yanguo!
The sacred power bestowed on Han Wojin by the Code of the Five Elements will never be desecrated by outsiders. And the lofty ideal of saving refugees is not in the scope of money worry-free, he went out this time, but he made a special trip to ask for debts.
Of course, Mulan understood Qian Wuwu's position, but she couldn't bear to sit back and watch the refugees fall into the hands of the enemy, and the little servant who pursed her lips finally opened her mouth slightly, and said, "Lord Lord, please allow me...... I think...... Get your feet wet! ”
"Beiyan's heart has been broken. The territorial realm of the Great Empire no longer exists, only by the natural danger of the Eagle Gorge Pass. If you want to stick to it, you don't have to have a heart! Qian Wuwu shook his head slowly.
Whether it is the super-level demonic beast of the wild boar man or the golden eagle air horse, they are too strong, and they are desperately defending, which is tantamount to looking for death.
Mulan was about to persuade again, but on the mountain road in the north, there was a crisp sound of horses' hooves, and the herald who held high the command flag shouted loudly while approaching the pass: "Yan Guo's official order, where is the guard of Yingchou Gorge?" ”
"Huh?" Qian Wuwu's eyes suddenly narrowed, the great plains in the north have long been the world of wild boar people, and the herald who suddenly appeared was very suspicious.
But before he could speak, a series of messy footsteps came out behind him, and Zhongsun Fangfei and Wei Linglan, who were in the tent, all hurried over.
"Is there any news from the Grand Duke?" When Zhongsun Fangfei walked onto the stone wall of the pass, her eyes were full of hope.
"Let him in!" Qian Wuwu gestured at the wolf-headed guard, and the next moment, the rope and hanging basket were lowered, and it didn't take long for a herald with an arrow wound on his back to be pulled up.
"The decree of the Yan Kingdom, where is the guard of Yingchou Gorge?" The herald held the command flag high, and his trembling body suddenly released a coercive force.
With a cold snort, the momentum accumulated by the herald collapsed instantly, Qian Wuwu strode out of the crowd, he stretched out his hand and said: "The guard of Yingchou Gorge has fled, if you have any military orders, just take it out!" ”
"Who are you?" The herald's eyes were full of vigilance.
"Madame's guard!" At the moment when Qian Wuwu spoke, he slightly let go of his body, revealing Zhongsun Fangfei's figure.
"Madame!" The herald shouted loudly and wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Qian Wuwu.
"Where's the military order? What is the current situation of the Grand Duke? And how did you get through the Boar Man blockade? ”
A series of questions made the herald with excitement on his face face up to the golden-armored knight who was blocking the way, and after finding that Zhongsun Fangfei did not express his position, he had to take out a sealed wax pill coated with mutton fat from the quiver he carried with him.
"The Grand Duke is now retreating to Donghe Fort, and I am taking the mountain road......"
"Lie!" Qian Wuwu pulled out the King's Protector and put it on the messenger's neck.
"Ahh Han Muyu, who was poking his head out, suddenly saw the cold light flashing, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"I ...... I'm not lying, I'm telling the truth, ma'am, ma'am! As the messenger spoke, he stretched out his hand in the direction of Zhongsun Fangfei.
Zhongsun Fangfei said softly: "Qian Wuwu, he is indeed from the Yanguo Mansion!" ”
"You're right, but the East River Fort fell before sunset, and besides, you smell like a wasteland shaman!" As he spoke, Qian Wuwu tore the messenger's armor with force.
In a series of exclamations, the Courier's shoulders were completely exposed.
In plain sight, everyone could see the Messenger's shoulder, and on the blood-stained, festering skin, there was a circle of death drawn by a voodoo potion.
"Madame, I'm not lying! Although I was caught by the boar people, the moment I came out, the Grand Duke was indeed in Donghe Fort, and the military order was not unsealed, and the magic brand was still there, still there! ”
Wei Linglan, who was holding the wax pill over there, nodded at Qian Wuwu and said, "The magic pattern of the Grand Duke's Mansion is still there, and the wax pill has not been destroyed. ”
But Qian Wuwu didn't let go of the messenger, the king's protector pressed down hard, and a touch of blood suddenly oozed from the blade of the sword, and he said coldly: "Presumably the boar man will let you go, because you confided important military information, let's be honest!" ”
"Spare your life, spare your life! I'm just saying that there is no room for loss in the Eagle Sorrow Gorge, and the wild boar people will ...... Just let me go! ”
"Eagle Sorrow Gorge can't afford to lose!?" Zhongsun Fangfeihua's complexion changed, she stared at Qian Wuwu and said, "Are you going to give up Eagle Sorrow Gorge?" ”
"Three days, we have three days!" Qian Wuwu said lightly.
"No, you can't withdraw!" Han Muyu suddenly jumped up.
Zhongsun Fangfei grabbed her daughter, and after she withdrew from everyone, she shook her head at Qian Wuwu with a strange face and said, "If we evacuate Yingchou Gorge, I am afraid that the Hundred Flowers Chamber of Commerce will be powerless for your arrears." (To be continued......)
