After Yijun County said goodbye to the prince, Chitang and his party turned to the northwest, crossed the Meridian Mountain, entered Hue County, followed the river along the tributaries of the Jing River, and went up to the front of the Fangqu, which was a wide road.

But after crossing the square canal, the further northwest you go, the narrower the road becomes.

The mountains on both sides are gradually rising, and the terrain is becoming more and more precipitous, that is, Chitang, who does not understand military affairs, feels panicked when he looks at the mountains and mountains on both sides of the road.

What's more, there are really mountain bandits in Qinggang Gorge.

"The people at the post station in front said that the bandits in Qinggangzhai are known as three thousand——"

"So much!" Chi Tang was taken aback.

She only brought a few hundred people with her.

"Afraid of what?" Why be very confident, "Any one of us here can be worth ten with one to ten, a master like me, and our Tsing Yi, that is, one to fight twenty is not a problem!" If you're not at ease—

"Just a claim!" Li Shixi hurriedly explained, "The truth should be about 1,000, and there may be some old and weak women and children in the rest." ”

Chi Tang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Can we fight?" ”

Why be upset: "Didn't I say it's okay?" You kid! Why don't you believe it-"

"More than enough!" Li Shi replied, "The minister has already released the news of the crown princess's luck, and has also transferred the Fangqu garrison to escort it together, forgive those bandits who dare not do it!" ”

Chi Tang was finally relieved: "It's hard work Deputy Li!" ”

"It's a matter for the ministers."

Chi Tang turned around and reassured He Bi: "Uncle He, I know that you are strong in martial arts, but we are not familiar with the terrain here, so let's listen to Deputy Li's arrangement!" Seeing that his face was still uneven, Chi Tang added, "When you cross Qinggang Gorge tomorrow, Uncle He won't be too far away from me, okay?" "Blink your eyes.

Why bother with a straight face, patted his chest and said: "Put it down, I will follow you every step of the way tomorrow, and ensure that you will not lose a single hair!" I'll ...... without it."

Chi Tang originally wanted to interrupt him, but was suddenly pulled by Mei Niang's sleeve, so he swallowed the words back, leaned back into the car, and left the window to Mei Niang.

If you don't interrupt, how long can Uncle Ho speak?

As soon as Chi Tang thought about it, why bother's voice stopped.

"Why didn't you say it?" Mei Niang was a little anxious.

Chi Tang also looked over strangely, but saw why he glanced at Mei Niang inexplicably, and urged the horse to run away.

After a while, the carriage stopped outside the inn.

Chi Tang got out of the car and glanced northwest.

The entrance to Qinggang Gorge can already be seen here.

At this time, the sky has not yet darkened, but looking at the past already feels gloomy and gloomy.

Chi Tang frowned and walked towards the post station.

For the sake of safety, they deliberately rested for the night at the post station outside Qinggang Gorge, and then rushed to Qinggang Gorge early tomorrow morning, so that they could leave the sphere of influence of Qinggang Village before dark.

It should be fine, right? After all, her hundreds of people are not ordinary hundreds!

Chi Tang thought, his heart widened, and he nodded at the post officer with the corners of his lips curled.

Suddenly, she felt a strange gaze fall on her, and she saw that her scalp was tight, and she hurriedly turned her head to look for it, but only saw two or three children in the corner staring at her curiously.

Half an hour later, Mo San knocked on the door and came in, and said, "I have asked, there is a person who was standing next to those children at that time, and the child who was closest said that the person had a scar on the corner of his left eye, and asked around, and he was sure that it was not from the post house." ”

Chi Tang's face changed, and he said, "You go and tell Deputy Li that you should be careful when you cross Qinggang Gorge tomorrow!" ”

……

In the north ridge of Qinggang Gorge, a walled city is built on the mountain.

The watchtower stands on the cliff, and when night falls, the fire staff is blazing, reflecting the surprised expression of the woman in the tower.

"Chi Changting's daughter? Are you sure. ”

"Sure." The man replied in a low voice.

After the woman was surprised, her eyebrows twisted, and her phoenix eyes were fierce: "This group of old immortals dare to lie to me!" ”

"I didn't lie to us, my subordinates heard the post official call her the crown princess, and she was indeed a noble person from Beijing." The man said.

The woman smiled coldly: "What's so great about the nobles who came out of Beijing?" Why don't they dare to do it themselves? Come and instigate us to be substitutes for the dead! ”

The man was silent for a moment and said, "It's not an instigation, the big boss has taken their belongings." ”

The woman glared at him in annoyance.

The man lowered his eyes and was silent, his face expressionless.

The woman looked east by the railing, and saw that the mountains were heavy, and the Fangqu Post Station was even more distant beyond the mountains.

She was stunned for a while, and suddenly asked, "I heard that Chi Changting was known as the most beautiful man in the world back then, have you seen it?" ”

"I haven't seen it."

"What about Chi Changting's daughter? Is it beautiful or not? How do you compare to me? The woman asked with interest.

The man glanced at her and said, "It's still a little girl." ”

"What kind of little girl?"

The man was slightly stunned and said, "Cunning little girl......"

The woman suddenly asked with interest, "What will happen if we rob Chi Changting's daughter?" ”

The man raised his eyes and glanced to the east, and said: "Two years ago, Yao Wuji did this, and three days later, Chi Changting attacked Wuxing Palace, and half a year later, Yao Wuji died at the hands of Chi Changting. ”

The woman sighed, "Is it really so powerful?" ”

The man said: "The big boss can give it a try, and his subordinates will not accompany him." ”

"Look at your little bit of talent!" The woman gave him a disdainful look.

As soon as the words fell, suddenly, there was a "whoosh" sound, like a hidden weapon breaking through the air.

The two hurriedly dodged sideways, but they heard a "poof" sound, and the torches on the watchtower were extinguished.

There was a moment of silence on the watchtower.

"Palm fire!" The woman snapped.

The torch was lit, and it was lit around, and a sign was found on the ground.

An extremely rudimentary wooden plaque seems to have been picked up from the firewood room.

On the wooden plaque, I don't know what tool was used to carve a word crookedly-

Pools.

……

Early the next morning, Chitang set off from the post station, and when he walked to Qinggang Gorge, he had just arrived.

Because it is located in the northwest and between the mountains, the two ridges beside the road have been dyed with autumn.

Looking up, the sun is bright, the sky is blue, and the geese are chirping slowly.

There was really no tension at all.

"Are there really bandits?" Chi Tang couldn't help but ask.

"There are people in the northwest three minutes above the mountain, and two points north of Yanyun." Tsing Yi Road.

pointed so clearly, not to mention Chi Tang, the painting screen and Xia Hui couldn't help but stretch out the window to see-

……

The woman was stunned and pointed to the bottom of the mountain in disbelief: "They can't have discovered us, right?" ”

The man said expressionlessly: "I can't see clearly from such a distance, the big boss is empty-hearted." ”

It is impossible for the people below the mountain to see them hiding in the bushes from such a distance, and of course they can't see the people below the mountain clearly.

At most, I saw the curtain of one of the carriages open, and a vague face was revealed.

"I always feel like I've been ......discovered," the woman muttered, her eyes from the front end of the line to the end of the line, and then from the end to the front, sighed, and said, "Such a big fat sheep, really let it go?" ”

The man said, "It's still too late to do it." ”

The woman glared at him angrily and walked away.
