Chapter 177: Failed Capture, Chang'an Battle Report!

On the border, there is a city, a famous mountain city!

It is located in the middle of the mountains, which is very beautiful, with white snow lines above and crystal clear, and bare forests below, with fallen leaves.

A potholed official road, leading to the city, Jiang Yucheng and his party are climbing up, they will pass through the mountain city, absconding to the Baiyun Kingdom.

"Father, the lord of Mountain City, won't he really murder us?"

Jiang Zichong asked, his heart beating rapidly, full of uneasiness.

"Don't worry, he is a student of his father, and he is loyal to our Jiang family. ”

Jiang Yucheng said with a smile, very confident, this is his affirmation of the outside world and his recognition of his intuition.

After half an hour, they came to the mountain city and found that the city gate was closed, and a Tang flag was waving in the wind, and there was no one above.

"Father, where is the lord of Mountain City?"

Jiang Zihao asked, ran to the door, and found a letter with the words:

"Teacher Jiang personally enlightened!"

Taking the envelope, Jiang Yucheng quickly opened it and found that there was no title, no signature, only a few short sentences.

"There have been too many things happening recently, in just a few days, Engong is in trouble, I can't see each other, I miss it very much!"

"The New Year is approaching, I should have seen him, but I have a family, I must think about them, I'm very sorry!"

"The trees are withered and yellow, and the feelings between you and me are like fallen leaves, and when the season comes, they will eventually separate and disappear!"

"I am secretly ashamed, and I always feel that I have a negative kindness, but as the saying goes, people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for their own sake! Human affection is as light as the earth, and the road of the world is more dangerous than the mountains!"

"The Tao is ruthless, the love is false, I hope that in the next life, you and I are not meeting, in this life, you go well, haha!"

Jiang Yucheng's hands trembled, and he read it out through gritted teeth, and he was furious, only to feel that his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted.

"Father, the lord of this mountain city, only knows happiness, but does not know common suffering, and it is too much of a thing, just a white-eyed wolf. ”

Jiang Zihao said angrily to hide the fear in his heart.

After all, within a radius of dozens of miles, only the mountain city can lead to the White Cloud Country.

Now, the road ahead is impassable, and the Tang Dynasty army will chase and kill them, and going down the mountain is tantamount to throwing themselves into the net.

"Alas, blame my father for being blind, and I've been a burden to you!"

Jiang Yucheng sighed, I didn't expect that I had been an official for decades, and when I misjudged people, I was really blind!

"Father, now is not the time to blame, it is better to get down the mountain as soon as possible and escape from here. ”

Jiang Zichong said with relief, and his tone was a little urgent.

"Well... Hey, no, there's a mystery to this letter!"

Jiang Yucheng nodded, he was about to leave, but he felt that something was wrong, he and the mountain city lord had a kindness after all, even if he didn't want to be involved in this matter, he wouldn't write a letter to laugh at them!

I opened the envelope again, glanced at the words, my eyes flashed with joy, and I said loudly:

"There is salvation, and there is salvation, come and see. ”

Jiang Zichong and Jiang Zihao immediately stretched their heads over, and saw Jiang Yucheng's fingers, swiping the first word of each sentence.

"The biggest tree, the secret passage!"

Reading these five words word by word, they suddenly opened their minds and turned their heads to look around, the forest.

Among them, there is a tree, which is one section taller than the others, which is in line with the meaning of the code.

"Let's go, go to the tree. ”

Jiang Yucheng said in a deep voice, now, he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor!

When I came to the tree, I smelled the smell of decay, stepped on the fallen leaves, and immediately stretched out my hands and groped under the leaves.

Stick!

Wet soil!

Macadam!

After groping for most of the circle, I didn't find the slightest thing, and finally, when I got close to the big tree, I touched the iron plate.

"There it is!"

Jiang Yucheng's eyes lit up, and he suddenly opened them, and with the force of pushing up, the leaves flew all over the sky, leisurely slicing, revealing a dark channel.

"Father, it's the passage, we can escape!"

Jiang Zihao exclaimed, his face was full of joy, it was really a mountain and a river, and there was no way out, and the willows and flowers were bright and another village.

"Well, take out the fire fold, follow the passage, and get out of here quickly. ”

Jiang Yucheng said, his face was all relaxed, and he didn't die!

Jiang Zihao nodded, took the fire fold, groped into the secret passage, and did not encounter danger; the rest of the people saw this, and hurriedly followed, and after everyone left, they closed the secret passage again.

A quarter of an hour later, on the walls of the mountain city, a figure appeared, looked at the forest, and muttered to himself:

"Teacher, go all the way, in the future, if there is fate, see you again!"

He is the lord of Mountain City!

This is his strategy, which can not only protect himself, but also help Jiang Yucheng escape.

The wind blows, the leaves fall, the traces dissipate, Jiang Yucheng escapes from the secret passage, people don't know, ghosts don't know!

"Report to the city lord, the army has been found at the foot of the mountain and is coming. At this point, one of the defenders stepped forward to report.

The Mountain City Lord nodded, and said with a smile on his face:

"Well, open the gates and get ready to welcome. ”

After a few minutes, there was the neighing of war horses, and when I saw the Tang flag fluttering, the general led the army to the gate of the city, and ordered loudly:

"Order, surround the mountain city, search the whole city, and find Jiang Yucheng!"

The order sounded at the gates of the city, and the army, on horseback, entered the city and began the blockade.

When the army entered the city, the general sat on his horse and asked calmly:

"You are the city lord, I heard that you and Jiang Yucheng have a teacher-student relationship, does he appear here? report truthfully, otherwise, die!"

The mountain city lord nodded and said with a smile on his face:

"General, the ginger thief will never be in the city, since I received the wanted notice, I have ordered the city to be blocked; in order to avoid suspicion, I have never taken a step out of the city, if you don't believe it, the general can send someone to investigate." ”

After hearing this, the general nodded to one of the lieutenants and motioned for him to inquire about what the city lord had to say.

The lieutenant nodded, entered the city, and after half an hour, rode out on horseback, and said in the ear of the general:

"General, this is true. ”

Surprise flashed in the general's eyes, so he didn't ask the mountain city lord, and was silent, waiting for the report of the search army.

At dusk, the captain who searched the eastern part of the city reported:

"Report to the general, Jiang Yucheng has not been found!"

Captain Josai:

"Report to the general, Jiang Yucheng has not been found!"

Captain Chengbei:

"Report to the general, Jiang Yucheng has not been found!"

Captain Seongnam:

"Report to the general, Jiang Yucheng has not been found!"

Hearing the report of the four people, the general had a gloomy face and said angrily:

"Damn, it's another trip for nothing, could it be that Jiang Yucheng has already escaped?"

Looking into the distance, the afterglow of the remnant sun was disappearing, and the general ordered:

"Assemble, go back to the barracks!"

............

At this time, in Tianhuo City, several blood-clothed guards galloped to Jingxin Manor, and what they carried with them was a Chang'an battle report.

In the manor, Li Tang was painting the mausoleum in the flower pavilion, looking a little sad, looking like a melancholy beautiful man from a distance.

"Your Majesty, the Chang'an Bloody Guards have come to report that there is something important at the border. ”

Li Tang stopped painting, thinking in his heart, could there be a change in Datang, so he said loudly:

"Biography!"

A minute later, the Bloodcoat Guard entered, took out the battle report, and said:

"Your Majesty, the Baiyun Kingdom, the Xuanye Kingdom, and the Great Liang Kingdom have divided their troops into two ways and invaded me across the east-west border!"

Li Tang was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "How is the battle going?"

Bloody Guards didn't think about it, and immediately replied: "Caught in a war, in the camp of the Three Kingdoms, it is suspected that there is a Martial King!"

After Li Tang heard this, he thought about it for a while, and then said clearly: "King Wu, it seems that it is Qi Tianhou Kingdom, who is making trouble in secret!"

Stand up, look to the south, and understand a truth, the tree wants to stop, and the wind is not still!

If you want to be calm, you have to cut off its roots!

Then he bent down, took out a piece of paper, and wrote on it:

"When this king resurrects Zilong, he will return to the dynasty and destroy the Three Kingdoms!"

Then fold it in half, hand it over to the bloody guard, and let him send the news back to Chang'an!

Time is already of the essence!
