Chapter 115 (2nd Watch)
During the night, as expected, it did rain heavily.
The rain was very heavy, the mountain road was muddy and difficult to walk, Yun Chi was afraid that Hua Yan's body would not be able to stand it, so he wrapped her in two ponchos, almost from head to toe, and was led by people on the horse, and he held Hua Yan's hand tightly and pulled her forward step by step.
After walking for a while, Yun Chi looked at Hua Yan, "I'll carry you." ”
Hua Yan shook her head resolutely.
Yun Chi whispered, "In the past, you asked Su Zi to carry you for thirty miles at night, but now why can't I carry you?" ”
Hua Yan smiled angrily when she heard this, and glared at him with a fine rain curtain and said, "In the past, I didn't have martial arts, and I came to Kwai Shui again, and after riding a horse with him for thirty miles, it almost softened into a puddle of mud, and I couldn't walk a single step, so I had to let him carry it, now I can walk, why bother with you?" The words fell, and he said, "If you want to get back to the field, when I am too soft into a puddle of mud to walk, let you carry enough." ”
Yun Chi smiled, "Okay." ”
Hua Yan felt that Yun Chi couldn't see the taste and vinegar at ordinary times, but he always inadvertently settled old accounts. It's just that he won't really turn his face and get angry when he counts the old accounts, and he can make people coax people in a few words.
His temperament is sometimes awkward and cute.
Qiu Yue has been following behind Hua Yan, hearing the conversation between the two, she was very emotional, in the past, whether it was the son of the son to the young lady, or the young lady to the son of the son, there was nothing to say, and now His Royal Highness the Prince has nothing to say to the young lady, and the young lady has nothing to say to His Royal Highness the Prince.
In any case, as long as the young lady is happy.
The heavy rain fell for half the night, and the next day it stopped at 10 o'clock, but even if it rained heavily, it did not delay the trip.
After daybreak, the rapid march chose a flat place to rest for a while, and then continued on the road.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, I came to the Qifeng Gorge thirty miles outside the Cuixia Valley.
Hua Yan stopped, stood on the top of Qifeng Gorge and rested for a while, and said, "Down this Qifeng Gorge, it is Cuixia Valley, I think the place where Mei Shuyu was trapped should be in the Cuixia Valley's Obstacle Forest, he only has 30,000 soldiers and horses, and he was intercepted by Jing Ji'an here, and after losing as much as half of them, he was forced to enter the Obstacle Forest." ”
"Barrier Forest?" Yun Chi's pupils shrank, "The land of poisonous barriers? ”
"A place with a lot of poisonous insects has formed a natural miasma, and ordinary people will not be able to stand the poison of the miasma when they go in, even if they have resisted the poison of the miasma, there are still many poisonous insects." ”
Yun Chi's face was slightly cold, "In this way, there are not many people left." ”
Hua Yan said, "Not necessarily, when the miasma is inhaled so deep that it can't be saved, it takes twelve hours, if it is not the waist of the extremely poisonous poisonous insects, there will be no worries about life at that time, we are not too late, if we are lucky, we may be able to save most of them." After the words fell, she said, "I know a way to avoid the soldiers and horses stationed at the entrance and exit of Cuixia Valley by Jing Ji'an, and can directly enter the Barrier Forest. ”
Yun Chi turned his head to look at Hua Yan, "Have you traveled all over the southwest in the past?" Why are you so familiar with this place? ”
Hua Yan smiled and said, "Sort of!" ”
Qiu Yue said behind him, "In those years, Gongzi used many good medicinal materials to cure diseases, but most of the best medicinal materials were hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, ordinary medicine pickers could not pick them, and the medicine shop could not buy them, so Miss took me to many places, there is a kind of blood ginseng in the deep mountains of the southwest border, which is the best for activating the meridians and promoting the blood of the heart, so Miss and I almost dug up all the blood ginseng in the southwest border, and stayed in the southwest for more than half a year." ”
Yun Chi smiled, "No wonder! ”
Hua Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Even if Seventeen takes someone to see Jing Ji'an with Xiaojin's things, he is afraid that he will not give up and let Mei Shuyu go, since he is against you, it is estimated that he will be iron-hearted to the end." Therefore, he can only drag him and buy time for us, these 9,000 soldiers and horses will rest in place, and we will take the secret guards into the obstacle forest and quietly bring out Mei Shuyu and the soldiers and horses he brought. ”
Yun Chi nodded, "Listen to you." ”
Hua Yan looked at him, raised her face and asked, "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince plan to clean up Jing Ji'an immediately after bringing out Mei Shuyu and the soldiers and horses in his hands, or is he not in a hurry to clean up and wait for later?" ”
Yun Chi asked in a warm voice, "If I plan to clean up Jingji'an as soon as possible, with the current nine thousand soldiers and horses plus the few soldiers and horses that Mei Shuyu has been damaged, is there a way?" ”
Hua Yan nodded, "There is a way, but since ancient times, the battle of winning more with less has used extreme killing methods." If Jing Ji'an and the 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands are ruthless and don't want to be subdued anymore, fire attack is the best way, I have a way to let his 100,000 soldiers and horses be destroyed, but the killing is too great. Moreover, although Jing Ji'an is foolish and loyal to the king of Southern Xinjiang, he is said to be a talent. ”
Yun Chi said in a deep voice, "When I appeased Jing Ji'an, it was because I cherished him as a talent, in Wolong Gorge, An Shuli let him go once, and I let him go again, but I didn't expect him to be so stupid and loyal, he couldn't see the situation clearly, and he rebelled again, the so-called one disloyalty, not used a hundred times." After a pause, he said, "But 100,000 soldiers and horses, the killing is too big, it is not easy to raise soldiers, if you can accept it, you still have to accept it, as for Jing Ji'an, you will die, you can't stay." ”
Hua Yan pursed her lips when she heard this, "On the way to southern Xinjiang, I received the grace of Xiao Jin and Grandma for a meal, and I killed Jing Ji'an like this, I am really ashamed of my love for Xiao Jin and Grandma and me, Grandma is old, he is only one grandson, he has not married a wife, he has not left a queen, and Xiao Jin has not yet married." If the two grandparents knew that we had killed Jing Ji'an, they would probably be heartbroken. ”
Yun Chi looked at her and said softly, "Mei Shuyu and 30,000 soldiers and horses were dealt with by him, and the soldiers of Southern Chu suffered heavy casualties because of him, and those wives, children, and mothers who died under his hands, there are countless people, if I don't kill him, I can't explain to them." ”
Hua Yan bowed his head and said softly, "Personal kindness is small, family and country are big, I understand, as the crown prince, he committed the crime of surrendering and the opposite, you want to kill him, it is understandable, you can't say it if you don't kill him, after all, you will make an example of a hundred." When the words fell, she sighed softly, "But now it is always me who borrowed Xiao Jin's intention to give his brother and let Seventeen drag him with something and use Xiao Jin, how can I explain to her." ”
Yun Chi held her hand, "It has nothing to do with you, it's me who wants to kill him, it's not a pity for him to die, you came to save Mei Shuyu, even if you don't use what she gave her brother, because he is against him, I will kill him sooner or later." ”
Hua Yan didn't say anything more, and said to him, "Let's go, let's go down, enter the obstacle forest, and rescue Mei Shuyu first." ”
Yun Chi nodded, and ordered Yun Yi to lead half of Yun Wei and nine thousand soldiers and horses to rest in place, while he and Hua Yan took Yun Ying and the other half of Yun Wei, as well as Qiu Yue and Cai Qing, down to Qifeng Gorge.
After getting out of the Qifeng Gorge, there is no sheep intestine trail of the mountain road, all over the mountains, shrubs and thorns, mountains and rocks, Huayan pointed to the way to go, Yunying and Yunwei waved their swords to cut off the thorns, opened the way in front, and opened up a road for the barren mountains and forests.
Thirty miles, it took an hour, and before the time, the group entered the obstacle forest.
Hua Yan stopped, and Qiu Yue took out a drug avoidance sheet and gave it to everyone.
Hua Yan rested against the cloud for a while, and said to him, "The martial arts of the Southern Chu royal family evolved from the Yun clan's magic, and it has been passed down for a breath, you will transmit the sound into the secret, right?" ”
Yun Chi nodded, "Not very proficient." ”
Hua Yan said, "There is a radius of fifty miles in the Obstacle Forest, you can try to transmit the sound, if it doesn't work, I'll take a hexagram and see which direction he is." ”
Yun Chi nodded, and immediately sat cross-legged, concentrating.
Yun Wei, Hua Yan, Qiu Yue, and Cai Qing hurriedly held their breath and concentrated.
After a while, fine sweat broke out on Yun Chi's forehead, his brows were tightly locked, Hua Yan saw this, stepped forward, and clasped his hand, "Collect the work, it seems to be very far, I will divinate it." ”
Yun Chi could only take the gong and said, "There is no trace of people within a radius of ten miles." After the words fell, he said, "If you don't bring a hexagram card, how can you divinate the hexagram?" ”
Hua Yan took out three copper coins from her arms and said with a smile, "I have this, it's enough." ”
Yun Chi was stunned, "You ...... that day"
Hua Yanwaner, "These three copper coins are naturally inferior to the hexagram card that Master Deyuan gave you." ”
Yun Chi immediately said, "If you divinate the divination, can your body stand it?" ”
Hua Yan sat cross-legged on the ground and said, "It's just a divination, a trivial matter." ”
Qiu Yue's expression moved, and she silently walked behind Hua Yan, put her palm on her back, and whispered, "Miss, you are not in good health now, I still want to help you!" Be careful. ”
Hua Yan nodded and smiled.
Yun Chi's thin lips pursed slightly, and he didn't speak again.
Yun Ying and the others all looked at it curiously, and they found that Hua Yan would have a lot of things, such as understanding the art of war, observing celestial phenomena, and divination...... Maybe there's more to it than they've seen.
The three copper coins were played with by Hua Yan as if they were very light and fluttering, and she first played with them casually for a while, and gradually, the copper coins in her hands converged and spun in the air like a trick, and faster and faster, so fast that it was impossible to see.
Even Yun Chi, after a cup of tea, there was only a circle of copper coins left in front of him, he couldn't help blinking, and at the moment he blinked, he only heard a "pop" sound, and a copper coin jumped out and fell to the ground.
Yun Chi immediately opened his eyes and went to see Hua Yan for the first time.
Hua Yan's face was a little pale, beads of sweat the size of beans fell on her forehead, and Qiu Yue's face was also a little pale, but both of them went to look at the copper coin at this time.
Hua Yan glanced at it, and her eyes fell on the west, "Thirty miles to the west, Mei Shuyu was seriously injured, and it doesn't seem to be good." Let's go. ”
