A large part of the enemy army was a group of poor Lebanese people forcibly recruited by the rival leaders, who were themselves forced and reluctant to go into battle, and did not receive a few days of professional training. Often, as soon as the horn of the Rong family army sounded, they themselves were already in chaos and collapsed, or they scattered and fled for their lives, or they were voluntarily captured.

But the bandits in Qingyun Mountain are all extremely vicious people, basically everyone knows a set of weapons and fists, and they are vicious and go straight to the point!

What's even worse is that they themselves are people who treat crimes, and there is no way out, so they have intensified and become more vicious!

It can't go on like this, Rong Xiu waved the long sword in his hand to resist the surrounding attacks, and at the same time escorted Yan Xiaowei to the Nine Emperor Princes, he stretched out his hand and patted the Nine Emperor Princes: "The situation is complicated now, I don't know when I want to be entangled, you two go down the mountain first, and I will deal with the aftermath here!" ”

He glanced deeply at the Nine Emperor Princes: "Brother Ye Su, the cumin will be handed over to you first!" ”

Seeing that the bandits around him were all red-eyed, and his body was still stained with mottled blood, Yan Xiaowei suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched the corner of his clothes: "I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay with you!" ”

Rong Xiu's thick eyebrows tightened, and he refused without thinking: "If you want to go first, you will go first, don't be willful!" ”

Yan Xiaoyan smelled the bloody breath on his body, and jumped to his feet in a hurry: "You are all injured, how can I throw you away!" ”

The corners of Rong Xiu's eyes were dyed with a trace of warmth, and he rubbed his big hand on Yan Xiaoyi's head, and his voice was hoarse, like soothing and coaxing: "Don't worry, none of this blood is mine!" ”

After speaking, he retracted the big hand he placed on her head, swiped in the air, and pulled out a bamboo tube from his waist.

He bit the bamboo tube in his mouth, held a sword in one hand, lit the fire fold with one hand, and used the fire fold to light the fire line of the bamboo tube.

With a "snort", accompanied by the firelight, Rong Xiu neatly threw the bamboo tube high into the air, and the bamboo tube rolled while glowing with white smoke, stopped at a distance of an inch from the roof, and fell suddenly.

Suddenly, there was a loud "bang", and the bamboo tube suddenly burst open, and the smoke and dust of the white flowers poured out like a mist.

This is actually the smoke that Yan Xiaowei inadvertently prepared when he was preparing gunpowder. The bullet was taken by Rong Xiu and kept secretly hidden on his body in case of emergency.

The smoke and dust came with a pungent smell, completely blocking the view of the crowd, and people kept shouting in their ears.

"What was that just now, it scared me to death!"

"What kind of smoke chokes my nose so much, my eyes are so spicy that I have tears, and I can't see anything!"

Yan Xiaowei was pushed around by the people around her, and suddenly a familiar big hand touched her forehead: "Let's go, let's see you down the mountain!" ”

Yan Xiaowei didn't know why, suddenly she was a little greedy for the warmth brought by this big hand, she reached out and took his hand off her forehead, squeezed it tightly, and didn't want to let go.

However, at this moment, someone grabbed her shoulders and forcibly took her out.

Yan Xiaowei couldn't see clearly, but she struggled subconsciously.

The man suddenly attached himself to her ear, and his voice was faint: "It's me, follow me!" ”

As he spoke, his long arms wrapped around her waist and lifted her up.

Even in the thick smoke, he seemed to be completely unaffected, and with a dangling of his toes, he stepped on the table at once, and jumped from the table to the closet.

Then, the big hand was propped up on the wooden rafters of the beam, and the whole person turned over with Yan Xiaoyi.

Yan Xiaowei only felt that he was jumping around along the way, and when he reacted, he was already leading the people by him, galloping on the tiles of the houses.

As soon as the bandits fighting on the ground looked up, they found two cat-like figures on the ridge of the house, and hurriedly drew their bows and shot arrows.

"Quick, catch them, the Nine Emperors are going to run away!"

Seeing that arrows were shooting from all directions like rain, the Nine Emperor Princes hurriedly carried Yan Xiaowei on his shoulders and moved quickly on the tiles.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but from time to time, a few tiles slipped out from under his feet, and flew straight at the bandits below like a dark arrow in the dark night!

Although Yan Xiaowei was obediently carried by him, she was shocked and panicked along the way, and she was still sweating.

Walking to the last house, the Nine Emperor Princes stepped on the eaves and fell gently. Yan Xiaoyi's feet finally fell to the ground.

But now was not the time to take a breath and rest, and the two of them walked along the stone path in the cottage until they came to the high wall.

From the first day of Qingyun Mountain, she had paid attention to the terrain here, and knew that it was a labyrinth of hot and humid jungle on one side and an axe-like cliff on the other.

And now, the place where she and the Nine Emperor Princes are is on the other side of the cliff!

When I was around me, the city wall made of natural rock was hewn out, and when I poked my head out of the city wall, I was now in the abyss!

Just by looking at it, Yan Xiaowei felt that her hands and feet were weak.

If it weren't for her current identity and special situation, she would definitely secretly praise the wisdom of the cottage designer and the magic of nature.

The Nine Emperor Princes and Yan Xiaowei searched all the way along the city wall, and finally found a rock loosened somewhere.

He forcefully removed the rock, revealing the iron rod embedded in the rock and used to plant the flag.

However, there are two wooden pulleys on the iron bar!

Before, Rong Xiu and the others had been distressed, Pan Shu and them were stationed at the foot of the mountain, although there were many troops, but it was not easy to find the mountain through the misty forest.

Moreover, the bandits were well aware of the natural advantages of their position, and while setting traps in the forest, they strictly defended the way up the hill of the cottage.

On the contrary, the cliff on the other side, because it is a natural barrier like natural danger, no one can easily climb over, so there is basically no artificial defense.

Yan Xiaowei had an idea, and suddenly remembered that extreme sports such as rock climbing and downhill in later generations used pulleys and ropes to make people move up and down freely in an impossible environment.

She put forward her idea and explained to Rong Xiu and others the principle of saving effort on pulleys, and Rong Xiu immediately applauded when he heard it, and hurriedly found a piece of elm wood to polish into two large pulleys.

After connecting the rope and pulley, he first hung it on the wooden rafters on the roof and practiced it, and after success, Teng Chun, who had mastered the essentials, went into battle himself, avoiding the secret sentry patrolling in the cottage and placing it on the stone wall on the other side of the cliff.

That night, taking advantage of the vast night, Teng Chun tied one end of the rope to the iron rod of the city wall, tied the other end tightly around his waist, and slid down the roller little by little.

Of course, when it came time to slide down from the cliff, it was not as smooth as he imagined and practiced, and he had to use his hands to control his speed while sliding down. When the howling mountain wind blew past him, he had to press his toes against the cliff and move down little by little in order to maintain his balance.

Although it was not easy, he grew up in the military camp since he was a child, and it was common for him to climb up and down during training, and he mastered the essentials after a while, and went down the mountain smoothly, entrusting the news and plans of Rong Xiu to Pan Shu, who was guarding at the bottom of the mountain.

And the carrier pigeons intercepted by the big boss halfway to deliver messages are just a trick used by Rong Xiu to confuse the bandits.

In fact, before the time came, Pan Shu and his entourage had already slipped up the mountain along the rope on the other side of the cliff!

Although she came up with the idea of connecting the pulleys with ropes, her legs trembled with fear when she was tied twice with two laps of hemp rope tied to her body by the Nine Emperor Princes, and she was about to jump down from the city wall.

The cliff is at least two thousand meters high, and when the wind drifts in the valley, there is a terrible sound like a ghost crying wolf.

Yan Xiaoyi's hand holding the hemp rope tightly was already soaked with sweat, and her hand slipped and slipped, as if she couldn't grasp something, and her heart gradually began to become anxious.

The Nine Emperor Princes also tied a knot on her waist with the remaining rope on her body, and looked at Yan Xiaoyi, who was pale: "Are you scared?" ”

Although Yan Xiaoyi's heart was trembling, she had always been hard-mouthed, especially for unfamiliar people, she deliberately raised her head forward: "Who said it, I won't be afraid, you go down first, and I'll follow later!" We're grasshoppers on a rope now, don't worry, I'll protect you! ”

The Nine Emperor Princes suddenly smiled lightly, and there seemed to be some warmth in his eyes: "Since this is the case, then my life will be handed over to Miss Yan!" ”

Yan Xiaowei somehow, she always felt that there was something else in his smile, and she couldn't help but glance at him.

However, after he said and laughed like this, her nervousness suddenly decreased a lot.

The sound of fighting on the other side of the cottage can still be faintly heard, the Nine Emperor Prince put his hand on the city wall, and then the whole person pulled the rope and slowly slid down, his feet stepped on the cliff, and his hands tightened the rope in his hand, forming a straight line.

When Yan Xiaoyan trembled and rolled down, because he maintained the strength and angle of the rope below, the whole person felt a lot more stable, and the process of sliding down was smooth.

As if knowing the uneasiness in her heart, the Nine Emperor Princes reminded softly on the side every step she took.

"Left foot, yes, then right foot!"

"A little further to the right of the right foot, there is a protruding stone that you can step on, borrow a little force!"

……

Yan Xiaowei was unconsciously reminded by him, although she didn't say it, she was very grateful to him in her heart.

I don't know how long the boring head has been sliding little by little, and when she raised her head and looked back at the top of the cliff, she realized that before she knew it, the two had walked out of a distance of more than ten zhang!

Yan Xiaoyi's heart was a lot lighter, and she was about to continue walking, when she suddenly found something on the top of the cliff, a fiery red spot, shining in the dark night!

Just squinting, a face suddenly poked out next to the firelight, and a man looked at the two people under the cliff along the rope, and suddenly shouted: "It's the Nine Emperors!" The Nine Emperor Princes are fleeing down the mountain along the ropes! ”
