Chapter Eighty-Nine: Hades
Weiyang entered Gu Xiao's courtyard again, knocked on the back wall a few times, and then turned to leave, still waiting at the place where they met last time.
It was almost before she stood firm, and Gu Xiao then arrived, "I've seen the Venerable Lord!" ”
Weiyang saw that his actions were not as difficult as those of the previous days, and asked lightly, "How many days will anyone come?" ”
Gu Xiao immediately replied, "The shadow master has been here, but he didn't leave a word!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, a dark shadow had already approached.
Weiyang raised his hand to stop the movement of the afterimage that was about to appear, and instructed Gu Xiao, "The edict is outside the village, you need to be cautious when you come and go, you go back and wait first!" ”
Gu Xiao didn't notice the black shadow, bent over to Weiyang, and turned back.
After he left, a dark shadow appeared in front of him.
"Young master, the Nanzhao army has retreated to the valley, and the two battles have not been won. Now that Qin Yan is here, the 300,000-strong army has passed through Jiangling, and it will arrive soon. "The afterimage reports the latest battle situation in Qixia Pass.
Weiyang pinched his eyebrows, "Is there any news from Beijing?" ”
"Not yet, but ......" The afterimage looked at Weiyang and looked straight at himself, so he had to continue, "The prince is making dragon robes, and he can get it in a few days, but the jade seal is not arbitrary, and he is still looking for it, and there is no result." ”
Weiyang was silent, knowing that the afterimage was worried that the garrison in Longshou Mountain was discovered by the jade seeker, and pondered for a while before saying, "Although the seed jade produced in Longshou Mountain is of high quality, it is not easy to obtain, and it is adjacent to the Western Tang Kingdom, Lin Shen does not know, so there is no need to worry." On the contrary, the jade produced in Yunshan is excellent, and I am afraid that someone has already been sent to it at this time, so let's see! ”
"Young master, if these two things are successful, then wouldn't the Glass King be ......" The afterimage looked at Weiyang, who was twisting his eyebrows, and accepted the words.
Weiyang looked up at the sky on the top of the tree for a long time, and said lightly: "Hmph, how can Chu Li be a fuel-efficient lamp, he has 20,000 dead soldiers in his hands, and the prince does not want to get the benefits, and it is not known who will win the world after this bloody storm." ”
The rain gradually became heavier, "Afterimage, the west of this place is the boundary of the Western Tang Dynasty, you said that if there is an alliance between the two countries in the southwest, what will happen to Eastern Chu?" ”
"Young Master, are you saying that the Western Tang Dynasty will also attack when Eastern Chu is uncertain?" The afterimage asked with some uncertainty.
Weiyang didn't reply to his words, and asked rhetorically: "The civil strife in Eastern Chu, the country has no king, the army has no heart, if you are the king of the Western Tang Dynasty, you can get a gluttonous feast with one mouth, do you eat it or not?" ”
The afterimage reflexively replied, "Of course!" And eat as much as you want, you will never be polite! ”
Weiyang was speechless for a long time.
The remnant was also taken aback by his words.
"Although there is no news now, I am worried in my heart, people are going to keep an eye on the death of Xitang, and I will report it as soon as there is a little bit of trouble, don't miss the slightest news, I will have no home to return if Chu dies!" Weiyang's voice was shallow.
"Obey the orders of the young master! However, the Western Tang Dynasty and the Eastern Chu have been harmonious for fifty years, and there is no sound of general war in the country, and now Qin Yan personally commands elite soldiers and good generals, and the young master does not need to worry! The afterimage comforted each other warmly.
"Well, you can go." Weiyang turned around and wanted to go back to Butterfly Valley.
The afterimage followed and took two steps, "Young master? ”
Weiyang stopped but didn't look back, "I still have some private matters to do, I will return to Qixia at the latest on the tenth day, and now that the war has stopped for a while, I am not far from here, but I will know immediately if there is any change!" ”
The afterimage knew that she could not stop, so he hurried away first to do what Weiyang had ordered.
The rain became heavier and heavier, falling into the forest through the dense foliage, and gradually some cold air hit. Weiyang saw that the sky was nearly three watches, and thought that this was a good time to explore the camp, so he used an excellent body to go to the camp of the southwest Zhao army.
Qin Yan reorganized the 300,000 army, reorganized the battalion together with the 100,000 soldiers guarding the pass, assigned the corresponding manpower to command, and set up a large battalion to train soldiers and horses.
Qi Jingxun guarded Qixia Pass for three generations, and knew the situation very well, so Qin Yan appointed him to be the commander of 400,000 soldiers and horses, and Qi Yao was still the vanguard officer; Lu Shaoqian led the news battalion, Ye Heng led the bow and arrow battalion, and Wei Xiangdong led the Xiao cavalry battalion, only to Tianqi, although his martial arts were good, he was impatient and impatient, and he was awarded the deputy general to Qi Yao's vanguard battalion commander.
Qin Yan has selfish intentions, if Xiang Tianqi can restrain his arrogant ruffianism, he will be a brave general in the future, and he will be brave and unmatched before the enemy, and he can be a master in one husband.
Xiang Tianqi came from Beijing, and has been friends with Chu Jin and others since he was a child, and he has a very competitive temper in brocade clothes and jade, although he is not convinced by Qin Yan's send, he does not dare to disobey the military order, and he wants to do something brilliant, so that Qin Yan and Qi Yao can see his skills.
On the third day after the camp was settled, the sky was cloudy and rainy, and the night was dark, and I couldn't see my fingers. He privately contacted more than a dozen people who were very good at martial arts, sneaked out of the camp behind Qi Yao's back, and went to the edict deep in the mountains, preparing to explore the enemy camp at night.
Set off on the shift, the twelve people are extremely good at martial arts, and they don't drag mud and water all the way, and they have arrived in the hinterland of the mountains and forests when they arrive at the second watch. The front eye was open, and after looking at it, it approached the edict camp, and the team stopped to rest.
"Everyone be careful, I haven't met half of the Nanzhao sentry along the way, it's a little unusual!" Xiang Tianqi said vigilantly.
Everyone agreed, and each of them spread out his own method and moved forward again. In a few moments, half of the group went into the pond and lost their traces.
Qi Yao soon learned the news of Xiang Tianqi's private visit to the enemy camp, he asked people to go to the main camp to inform Qin Yan, and he took a few people to the forest to stop him. Although he was born in the military camp, his martial arts are not as good as Xiang Tianqi and others. chased all the way, and never saw a single figure.
Just as he didn't know what to do, someone stopped him, "Young General, ahead is Hades Wang Ze, it is extremely dangerous and you can't move forward!" ”
Qi Yao had no choice but to stop, wandered in the forest for a while, and reluctantly ordered to return to the camp. As soon as he returned less than ten miles, he met Qin Yan with Ye Heng and several others chasing after him.
"How?" Qin Yan asked in a condensed voice.
Qi Yao didn't have time to dismount and salute, and hurriedly replied: "General Qin, there is Hades King Ze in front, and there is no trace of the deputy general, so I have to turn back in vain." ”
Qin Yan was in front, Qi Yao followed closely behind him, and the group once again urged the horse to Zeban. But I saw that the clouds on the sky were strange, and a cloud of black gas slowly rose and expanded from the clearing.
"This ......" Qi Yao opened his mouth wide in surprise.
Qin Yan glanced sideways at him.
Qi Yao comprehended and hurriedly said, "There was nothing unusual when I waited for me just now!" ”
Qin Yan rose to the ground, climbed to the top of the tree behind him, and looked down at the situation in the pond below. If you don't look at it, it's enough, and the blood is cold when you look at it.
A formation was set up on the top of Chi Ze, and Xiang Tianqi and the others had profound martial arts but couldn't help the power of the quagmire, and at this time they were only half of their bodies left. It is said that several people are not weak in light work, and they can get out by borrowing each other's strength, but for some reason they are trapped to death.
After thinking about it for a while, I saw a few black-clothed people on the other side, walking to the middle of the pond with complicated footwork, and wanted to return after carrying the people trapped in the mud.
Qin Yan knew that if he couldn't stop him at this time, Xiang Tianqi and the others would really go and never return. After estimating the width of the pond, he jumped down from the tree and asked the generals behind him, "Is there a rope?" ”
A person came out behind Qi Yao and tore a large bundle of rope from his back and handed it over.
Qin Yan quickly circled around his waist twice, wrapped the other end of the rope around the tree with a flick of his hand, and flew towards the pond with his internal force.
All the soldiers were dumbfounded, and before they could stop it, they disappeared Qin Yan's figure.
At this moment, a figure followed Qin Yan like a gust of wind and blew into the black mist on the swamp.
The crowd was dumbfounded again.
After Qin Yan entered the formation, all he saw in front of him was a black mist, there was no distinction between the southeast and the northwest, he could only rely on his deep internal force, and his feet did not touch the ground and rushed forward.
When Weiyang arrived, what she saw was Qin Yan entering the swamp regardless of the danger, and she also took care of his safety flawlessly, and recognized the way in the formation and chased after those black-clothed people retreated.
It didn't take much effort to chase after her, and without saying anything, he started to move. Those people were well-trained, and they did not get along with her, and they did not care about the others in their way, but only cared about their own path.
Qin Yan had some skills in the end, and after tossing in that quagmire for a long time, he finally stepped on the ground. After going ashore, he untied the rope and began to chase after him.
Unbeknownst to him, when he went ashore, he touched the golden thread that Weiyang had ignored. There was a tiny bone bell at one end of the thread, but the other end did not know where it led.
Weiyang easily snatched most of the people, but the remaining few people had already disappeared, and she was so angry but couldn't. checked the number of people who were languishing on the ground, and after waking up one by one, their spirits were a little trance. She had to take out the jade bottle that Hualu had forced into her from her arms, and poured some antidote pills for several people to take.
Xiang Tianqi was not among them.
After a moment, Weiyang asked, "Is it possible?" ”
A few people slowly eased up and nodded. Weiyang escorted a few people back to the pool, and solemnly advised: "Step on my footprints, don't step on the wrong step!" ”
After a while, he returned to the other side very easily, and Qi Yao followed everyone to count, "Why are there three people missing?" What about General Qin? ”
Everyone was stunned, and one of them was so shocked that he asked, "General Qin is also here?" ”
"Retreat quickly, a large army is here!" Weiyang raised his voice to warn everyone, and in a flash, he entered the pond again.
"...... you" Qi Yao didn't say a word, where else was there anyone?
The person with Qi Yao listened to it for a while, and shouted nervously, "General Qi, retreat!" ”
Qi Yao beckoned everyone to take the rescued person, and quickly walked back.
Weiyang was a little strange, there was no Qin Yan in the array. If Qin Yan passed through this formation, then why didn't she meet it when she retreated? After thinking about it, he once again came out of the formation and chased in the direction of the Nanzhao camp in the southwest.
couldn't find it back and forth, and Weiyang couldn't help but be a little impatient. I knew very well in my heart that if Qin Yan's martial arts were really captured and she went to visit the camp again, it would be tantamount to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger, and she would never be able to get any benefits. But for some reason, the fire in my heart became more and more intense.
Raising his breath, he let go of his body and rode recklessly, and ran in the direction of the Nanzhao camp again.
It was late at night, and there was no movement in the camp except for the guards who were keeping vigil. Weiyang hid her figure and walked around the camp at great speed, but she never saw the person she was looking for.
There seemed to be a stone in her heart that made her breathless, and she was secretly angry: Qin Yan, you bastard, if I find you, you will die. In an ordinary camp tent in the southernmost edict barracks, the three people who were captured were unconscious and thrown into it.
There are countless barracks, and Weiyang can't check them one by one, and no one can be found in the big camps everywhere, so he left the camp in despair. But there was a trace of luck in his heart, thinking that he might have returned to Qixia Pass, and he didn't hesitate to go back and take a look.
Just as he was about to do it, suddenly a faint fragrant wind wafted by, and it smelled indescribably. She turned her head and looked around, determined that the aroma came from the south, and chased after her in the dark. After a while, the fragrance became stronger, but the central bank was more cautious.
After chasing for a while, I faintly heard the sound of some internal force breaking through the air.
Weiyang's heart was urgent, and he didn't care about the danger, so he approached the periphery of the fighting and hid on a big tree to take a closer look. I saw that the tall man in the forest was Qin Yan, but at this time, he was floating under his feet, and he was barely supported by his profound internal strength, and he was still attacking.
The whip was a woman, and the red veil covered her face, and the fragrance came from her.
Weiyang closed his breath and calmly checked his pulse carefully, and there was no poisoning.
"I advise you not to use internal force in vain, it's better to be caught, it's rare for this princess to look at you pleasing to the eye, otherwise the incense poison will not be removed, even Da Luo Jinxian will only have to self-immolate!" The woman's whip method is not weak, and what she practices is actually the Central Plains martial arts.
Qin Yan's eyes were red, the tip of his tongue was pressed against the roof of his mouth, and the dantian took a breath of pure ice spirit, and forcibly suppressed the heart-burning flames, and the frost in his eyes gradually weakened.
Weiyang couldn't see Qin Yan's appearance, it was impossible to defeat Qin Yan with that woman's skills, I was afraid that other means were used.
After another ten moves, Qin Yan's feet were unstable and he fell to the ground.
Weiyang's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he didn't want to fly down, so he landed beside Qin Yan and raised his sword to block the whip, and a set of Xiaoyun sword techniques were unleashed.
When the woman saw that someone was coming to save her, she was stunned for a moment and instantly sneered, "Just because you want to save him?" Dream! "Whip and attack Weiyang.
Weiyang was worried that Qin Yan had no intention of fighting, so he would no longer tolerate mercy on the sword, and the sword moves were generally easy to come by, and he was helpless to attack the woman at all.
After a while, a sword slashed towards the woman's door, and the woman had to retreat to save herself, but she pressed forward step by step, and the elusive sword slashed at her shoulder. The world's sharpest Xiaoyun Sword passed over, and a piece of skin on his shoulder, along with his clothes, was shaved off; If you don't dodge quickly, you may not be able to protect one arm.
Blood gushed out instantly, and the woman howled with hatred.
It was too late to stop it, and the beautiful chirping like a nightingale resounded through the night sky. But it was only one sound, and Weiyang's fierce sword came again, stabbing under her side at a very tricky angle, and finally stopped her voice.
Seeing that the woman didn't retreat or advance, her mouth full of blood just covered her ribs and looked at her proudly and smiled, Weiyang knew that it was not good.
When he looked back at Qin Yan again, his mouth was full of blood. Or the internal force was consumed too much before, and he has fainted at this time. Weiyang knew that if he didn't leave, he would really die, so he took two steps over and picked up Qin Yan, found a way to use all his strength to spread out the flying immortals outside the sky and retreat into the depths of the forest.
