Chapter 299: Trap
On Lu Fei's side, he stopped and walked, and most of the hour passed, and the secret passage was still long and stretching, as if there was no end.
And along the way, they did not encounter the slightest danger, this secret passage is safe, as if they are walking their own way. But after all, Lu Fei and the others are also experienced people, and they don't think that the security in front of them is long-lasting, maybe there will be some unknown dangers waiting for them behind, who can say for sure?
Therefore, even if nothing happened on the road, Lu Fei and the others still held the sword in their hands tightly, and their eyes looked ahead vigilantly, for fear of missing something.
They had been walking for more than an hour now, and there was still no sign of the end of the road ahead. Lu Fei and the others were a little tired, and they slowed down.
General Meng wiped the sweat from his head, looked at the unlit road in the distance, it was dark, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly, and then said: "Lu Fei, we have been walking for so long, why haven't we reached the end yet?" Look, this hour has passed, right? ”
Lu Fei also stopped his pace, watching General Meng roll up his sleeves and fan himself with his hands. Lu Fei wiped his forehead and touched the sweat on his hand, his clothes were a little wet now.
Although it is already autumn, the weather is much cooler, and the temperature on the border side is even lower. But in this secret passage, after all, the ventilation is not so good, because the humid air outside has not invaded, so the humidity in the secret passage is even lower, and after staying in it for a long time, they several big men also feel a little stuffy.
In addition, the pace does not stop, and he has been walking for so long, Rao is a few generals, and his mood has also been affected a little.
There is an unknown road ahead, and there is no turning back for them now. Therefore, even if there is a hint of physical and mental exhaustion, they must persevere.
And on the other side of the secret road, Pei Qian and a few soldiers were also walking forward. But their path is not so easy.
Pei Qian originally thought that with a few people, nothing should happen. But he didn't expect that this road, not far away, had already had an accident.
A soldier who was following behind was walking, and suddenly his feet slipped, and before everyone could notice, he had fallen heavily to the ground.
"Ahh
Pei Qian immediately turned his head and looked at the soldier who fell to the ground, only to see that his face was full of pain, because the secret passage was too narrow, he couldn't even lie upright, he could only twist his limbs, showing a strange posture, and fell there.
Pei Qian frowned and ordered the soldier next to him to help the soldier up.
But what he didn't expect was that the soldier could barely stand on his feet, he looked pained, and said to Pei Qian: "Second prince, the knee of the subordinate hurts so much, and it seems that the knee of the subordinate has been broken." ”
Pei Qian was stunned, looking at the soldier's seemingly unbearable expression, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, knowing that what he said was true.
He looked at the floor, and there was nothing but dry dirt. How could this soldier fall for no reason? But he did fall under everyone's noses.
The soldier looked at Pei Qian's expression, he endured the pain, the beads of sweat on his forehead had dripped down, the soldier supported the shoulders of the soldier next to him, raised his body slightly, and said to Pei Qian: "Second prince, this secret way, subordinates always feel that something is wrong. Fang Cai's subordinates were walking, and suddenly they felt as if they had tripped over something, and then they fell. But here, there's nothing at all. ”
The soldier's meaning was obvious, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes when he said this.
Pei Qian frowned slightly, he glanced at the quiet and dark secret passage in front of him, and then said, "Maybe you accidentally tripped over yourself, why bother scaring yourself here?" What's more, everyone is here, and nothing will happen. You too, be careful when you walk so that you don't fall. ”
A few soldiers next to him resignedly agreed, and the fear in the eyes of the fallen soldier did not disappear. He moved his lips, but finally said nothing.
The two soldiers who were supporting him tried to carry him on their shoulders. But the soldier immediately let out a wail of pain.
"It hurts—"
Pei Qian saw that the part of the soldier's knee was already dyed red, he didn't expect that this soldier would fall so badly. Looking at this posture, this soldier may not be able to go down with them.
"Are you okay? If it really doesn't work, you can go out, and if you are injured, it is not a way to go on. ”
The soldier was stunned, looked at the second prince, and then said with some hesitation: "Second prince, your subordinates should be able to hold on, your safety is more important, I don't know what will be in front of you, if your subordinates leave like this, if the second prince is in need, what should I do?" What's more, if the general blames it, it's not easy for his subordinates to do it. ”
Pei Qian waved his hand, and said a little indifferently: "Don't worry, no, this secret passage is so quiet, there is no one at all." You're like this now, and you can't help much, so it's better to go back as soon as possible and heal from your injuries first. Don't worry, this prince has his own measure, if the general blames you, this prince will make it clear for you. ”
Hearing the second prince say this, the soldier immediately said with a grateful face: "That subordinate has thanked the second prince first!" You should always pay attention to safety. ”
Pei Qian nodded, and let one of the soldiers support him in the direction of the return journey.
And he took the remaining two soldiers and continued to walk forward.
After what happened to the soldier just now, the other two soldiers walked a little cautiously, for fear that they would also fall in this secret passage. After all, they didn't have anything with them, and if they were injured, there was no other way but to leave this secret passage. The second prince is still here, how can they leave?
If something happened to the second prince, then they would really be in danger of being on the neck.
The three of them explored one after the other.
After walking for half an hour, nothing happened to the people.
Pei Qian's heart, which was originally a little hanging, slowly relaxed. He was really scaring himself, in this secret passage, there was not even a single figure, how could something happen? It's just that he's thinking too much.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian's mood was also a lot lighter, there was no need to worry so much, there was still a way to go. He believed that he would soon be able to find the missing batch of grain and grass.
Pei Qian's mind even had the scene of a large amount of grain and grass waving to him, and he couldn't wait to make a big achievement.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian couldn't help but speed up the pace under his feet.
But he didn't expect that he would soon be tragic.
Pei Qian walked and walked, the soles of his feet suddenly stepped on the air, and before he could react, one foot had already fallen into the mud.
"What's it-" Pei Qian frowned and lowered his head, just about to pull out his feet, when suddenly there was a sound of breaking the air in front of him.
"Whoa—"
After the two soldiers in the back saw what was shooting in front of them, and then saw Pei Qian, who was holding his head down, he didn't know it, and his face changed a little.
"Second prince, watch ahead!"
When Pei Qian heard the sound of breaking the sky, he had already reflexively raised his head.
In the secret passage illuminated by the lamp on the opposite side, a shining arrow appeared in their field of vision out of thin air.
The sharp arrows, as if stepping on somersault clouds, quickly shot towards Pei Qian's position.
Pei Qian's face changed slightly, he couldn't care about the confinement on his feet at the moment, when the arrow was about to shoot into his face, Pei Qian quickly turned his body to the side at a speed that was almost invisible, and narrowly avoided the sharp arrow.
The sharp arrow grazed Pei Qian's hair, took away a few strands of his hair, and then slammed into the wall beside Pei Qian.
There was an eerie silence in the air, and Pei Qian quickly came back to his senses, he glanced at the long arrow and frowned tightly. Ahead, is there anyone?
The two soldiers next to him had already raised their long swords in their hands, and looked ahead with some vigilance, for fear that someone would rush out.
At the moment, they are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark, which is indeed a bit disadvantageous.
Pei Qian also raised the long sword in his hand, but at this moment he didn't forget to pull out his foot. Pei Qian raised the lamp and approached his feet, only to find that he hadn't noticed that there were several potholes here when he walked by. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, but in short, he was tricked like this.
These holes, it seems, don't seem to be intentional. However, they have not had a trap for so long before. How did you get here?
What's more, Fang Cai's arrow obviously carried internal force, otherwise, there would not be such a fast speed, let alone such a ruthless force. If Pei Qian's reaction was so slow, maybe he would have been seriously injured at this moment!
After Pei Qian broke away from the trap, he whispered to the two soldiers next to him: "There may be a trap ahead, or we may have been discovered, someone is in ambush, you should be careful." ”
"Yes, Second Prince." The two soldiers cheered up and stared closely at the secret passage ahead.
Pei Qian took a cautious step forward, and then stopped, wanting to see if there was any movement ahead. In fact, he was also vigilant in his heart, not sure that something would suddenly appear later.
At this moment, Pei Qian no longer dared to take it lightly. After Fang Cai's arrow, it was enough for him to be afraid.
Although he is a dignified second prince, Pei Qian has never experienced this before.
As if he had just passed away from life and death, Pei Qian's whole heart was lifted at this moment.
But even if Pei Qian had a trace of cowardice in his heart, he didn't show it on the surface.
"Follow this prince and move forward."
