Chapter 173: Plan Ahead
Suddenly, a strong smell of blood wafted in the wind, and the three of them were familiar with this smell no matter who they were, and it was clearly the smell of human blood.
Zhang Youtao was so nervous that she could hear the sound of her heartbeat, she bit her lip tightly, she didn't even dare to shout, knowing that there were people around her to protect her, but fear still occupied the bottom of her heart.
This invisible situation is really devastating.
"Woo woo woo~"
The voice was getting closer, and they couldn't even tell what it was, but they knew for sure that it was definitely a beast in the forest.
Zhang Youtao's legs were weak, and the hand holding the belt was desperate, if it weren't for this belt, she would probably have knelt on the ground by now.
The sound of heavy footsteps suddenly stopped, not far from them.
Boom!
There was a sound of something heavy falling, like something had been thrown on the ground.
Immediately after, a heavy voice sounded in Du, and he approached them step by step.
Zhang Youtao gasped for breath, she could feel something rubbing against her leg, but she couldn't see anything because of the white mist. Every time she was touched, she wanted to spread her legs and run, even if there was a cliff in front of her, it was better than standing here and being scared to death.
The touch slowly rose and rubbed against the place where she was gripping the belt, and the wet liquid was cooler than the sweat in her palms.
Zhang Youtao looked down, a pair of scarlet eyes looked at her as if she was looking at her prey, squirming ugly lips, making a 'whirring' sound, and the innermost few mutilated and terrifying fangs were terrifying.
This is clearly a wild boar!
"Ahh
I really couldn't hold back, Zhang Youtao threw away her belt and ran in the direction she came.
"Zhang Youtao!"
At this time, Zhang Youtao, who was occupied by fear, would not care about anything else, just trying to escape. Only three or four meters, she stepped on something in her way and immediately fell.
There was no imaginary pain, his face was wet with wet liquid, and the thick smell of blood came to his face.
She stretched out her hand and touched it, and when she saw it, the bright red patch and the white mist around her were like two worlds.
The wild boar here is much more familiar than them, and almost as soon as Zhang Youtao escaped, the wild boar moved with him. Ji Yu and Xi Liang did not hesitate, and drew their swords along the voice that could be heard.
"Woo~"
A wail resounded through half the mountain, and with a bang, the wild boar fell to the ground.
"This thing has thick skin and can't cut its body, it has to cut its throat directly." Ji Yu couldn't help but teach Xiliang his experience.
Xi Liang didn't pay attention to her, and with the white mist that had just been disturbed, he pulled Zhang Youtao, who was prostrate on the ground, and the smell of blood made Xi Liang twist his eyebrows, "Is Miss Zhang injured?" ”
Zhang Youtao shook her head, her tone full of sadness, "It's the soldier on the ground, and it's hopeless." ”
She never wanted to hurt anyone, but there were always many people who died because of her, and she no longer knew how many more people would die if this continued.
She grabbed Xi Liang's arm and said in a resolute tone, "Go down the mountain tonight." ”
"No!" Ji Yu hurriedly retorted, "Now is not the best time, if we go down the mountain now, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight the six princes." ”
According to the plan, they would not be able to descend until at least 8,000 people had to go up the mountain. Break through from the weakest point of the guard, then go to the city gate to rent a boat and leave.
"The more soldiers go up the mountain, the more people will die." Zhang Youtao shook her head, even though they couldn't see it, "Why did it become like this?" ”
All she wants is a stable and plain life. But fate often pushes her down another path, and when she turns back, she needs to pay more in exchange for something new when she wants to start over.
"Then you can't go down the mountain now, or what will become of everything you have done?" Ji Yu grabbed her hand and continued to walk forward.
Zhang Youtao let her pull her, and followed suit.
She also knew that going down the mountain now would undo all her previous efforts, but the scene had been repeating itself in her mind, and the bloody scene made it impossible for her to turn a blind eye.
They found a stream and asked Zhang Youtao to clean up her body, and the cold water hit her face, pulling her thoughts back a little.
Maybe it's because of the creek here, and the white mist is thinner, so you can at least see each other faintly.
Zhang Youtao gasped slightly, "Ji Yu, come here." ”
Ji Yu came over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Descend tonight!" Zhang Youtao thought for a long time, "Now that the soldiers under the mountain are tired, it is easy for us to break through, as long as the signal is given, they will go to the city gate to fight us." ”
The last one in their plan, the code for the round, was to get smoke out of the mountains.
Ji Yu gritted his teeth and thought about it, got up and discussed with Xi Liang, "Actually, it's not impossible to go down the mountain tonight, she can't last long at all like this, tonight when the soldiers are weak, I'll send her to the west, you go to the east to release smoke, and then come back to fight with us." ”
"Okay." Xiliang replied quickly.
He didn't have any opinion on when to go, anyway, his task was to successfully break through and get people out.
The night in the mountain was much colder than at the foot of the mountain, and the three of them came out of the white fog after sunset, but fortunately they didn't encounter any other wild monsters during this time. The mountain road that has just rained is not easy to walk, and if you are not careful, you will slip.
Suddenly, a thick circle of smoke rose as if tearing through the sky. Cow Bar Literature Network
This turn of events caused all the soldiers to run to the east, and the remaining soldiers who were on the defensiveness were also distracted, and this was when the defense was at its most vulnerable.
Ji Yu kept looking around, his eyebrows were wrinkling tighter and tighter, this trick was not clever, maybe a quarter of an hour or two could be delayed, and after a long time, the soldiers under the mountain would definitely notice that something was wrong, and it would be difficult for them to escape at that time.
"You put on your helmet first, and if he doesn't come after a stick of incense, let's go first."
Zhang Youtao squatted on the ground and nodded slightly, her breathless from the heavy armor.
A stick of incense passed quickly, and Ji Yu directly pulled her up, "Let's go!" ”
Zhang Youtao glanced back, there was no figure on the dark road, she didn't hesitate, and followed Ji Yu down the mountain. After some experiences, my heart began to become cold.
Right now, the soldiers were running around, and they didn't notice it when they casually inserted it, after all, the soldiers were in chaos now, and the soldiers' attention had been attracted by other things, and they wouldn't pay attention to the two people who were wearing the same clothes as themselves.
At this time, Xiao Meng strode towards them, and the majestic momentum pressed the surrounding soldiers carefully.
Zhang Youtao felt that her palms were soaked with sweat, and she rubbed her legs a few times, and the closer she was, the more her heartbeat was like she couldn't control it, beating hard.
Gradually, my breathing became more and more disorganized and heavy.
The moment he passed by, Zhang Youtao exhaled a slightly turbid breath.
"Stop!" With an irresistible order, the strong voice was full of majesty.
Click!
Zhang Youtao and Ji Yu stopped at the same time and glanced at each other with their spare eyes. At this moment, there is only one thought in their hearts, it's over!
If it was discovered that they didn't even have the strength to resist for a moment, just looking at the soldiers surrounding them, they would probably already have the answer in their hearts.
Xiao Meng turned around and walked towards the two of them, his steps firm, each step seemed to be on the tip of their hearts.
Ji Yu's hand slowly grasped the hilt of the sword, ready to move at any time.
Whoa!
In an instant, a boulder rolled down the hillside and smashed into most of the soldiers at the foot of the mountain.
"Ahh
Before everyone could react, a second boulder rolled down the hillside. In fact, this stone is not particularly large, but it is not very clear in the darkness of the night, and the momentum is huge, making people think that the stone rolling down is particularly huge.
Everyone's attention was drawn in an instant, and Ji Yu immediately grabbed Zhang Youtao's hand and walked forward, "Don't look back!" ”
Obviously, everything that happened just now was not easy for the two of them.
Although Ji Yu has experienced many life-and-death moments, she is the only one who has to drag someone, and now she has to drag someone is obviously different from the feeling in the past.
"There's someone on the hill!"
"Mobilize soldiers to go up the mountain to arrest people!"
When they walked away, they could still hear Xiao Meng's angry voice, and they couldn't help but look back.
"It should be Xiliang who saved us just now." After Zhang Youtao finished speaking, both of them were silent, but they did not stop moving forward.
Maybe Ryo Ezei's skills won't be caught, maybe all this should have been done.
At this time, Jiang Yiling, who was idle in the tent, heard the noise outside and couldn't help but poke his head out.
"Sixth Prince, you can't come out." The soldiers were guarding the door, and they were very embarrassed to see this.
Jiang Yiling raised his chin and nodded, "What happened?" ”
The soldiers replied, "It was the smoke at the foot of the eastern mountain, and the soldiers had been sent over." ”
Jiang Yiling listened casually, but when he heard this, he was immediately in awe, "Smoke? ”
"Yes."
Jiang Yiling lowered the curtain and turned to look at Lin Mu.
This tent is not big, and Lin Mu naturally heard it. At this moment, Lin Mu had already been cleaned up, and his expression was solemn, "Your Highness, you have to leave immediately." ”
No matter what caused the action to be advanced, but if they don't leave now, after Xiao Meng recovers, I'm afraid they won't be able to leave.
Taking advantage of the attention of the soldiers outside, Jiang Yiling narrowed his eyes, "You guys come in." ”
The soldiers guarding the door hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked, and as soon as they took a step, a hand knife fell on their necks, and the squatting guard fainted.
Lin Mu didn't have much strength, and the soldier he controlled was ready to resist.
Jiang Yiling turned around and kicked him, and the soldier suddenly fainted.
"Strip off your clothes, tie them up and throw them on the bed." Jiang Yiling is still familiar with these things.
The two of them arranged all this properly, and opened the curtain again, and the soldiers outside ran towards the west one after another, looking urgent.
Although I don't know why, it has no effect on their escape, and even weakens the forces in the east, so why not.
The night gradually faded, and the drizzling rain stopped, Xiao Meng stood outside the tent and looked at the silent soldiers, without saying a word.
