Chapter 5 After the Break
From their direction, they can clearly see the scenery around them.
On the other side of this hill is exactly where it was originally planned to lurk. The grass there was all bushes with thorns, and the mountain wind couldn't blow so hard.
At the moment, the bushes were rocking back and forth, as if someone was bobbing around.
Tang Yun and Tian Feichen didn't move, and after waiting for a while, Tang Yun made a gesture at Tian Feichen, Tian Feichen understood, and quietly retreated to the back.
In a short time, all the resting sergeants were awakened, and everyone began to be vigilant.
"Are you sure it's from the Northern Wilderness?" Tian Feichen asked quietly.
Tang Yun said in a low voice: "It's the guard who guards the water source, and it is estimated that he used Lao Pang's corpse as bait to lure us out." ”
In the sight of the two of them, several figures gradually appeared in the bushes in the distance, with knives in their hands, looking for something.
Tian Feichen gasped: "It's good to listen to you, otherwise our gang will be wrapped up in the night." ”
The guards searched for a while, but found nothing, but they never gave up.
"Something is wrong, these people from the Northern Wilderness seem to know that we are coming." Tang Yun suddenly said in a deep voice.
Tian Feichen also noticed at this time that these people from the Northern Wilderness seemed to have discovered them. With torches in hand, the men began to look around.
Tang Yun asked Tian Feichen: "When you found the corpse, did you count the number?" ”
Tian Feichen shook his head: "No, it's too tight, how can I have time to do this." ”
After speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and looked at Tang Yun in surprise: "You mean, someone took refuge in the Northern Wilderness and shook off all the things we did this time?" ”
"It's not necessarily a refuge, maybe it's an ambush, and under the heavy punishment of the people of the Northern Wilderness, he opened his mouth. Their sets of methods, the stone people can make them open their mouths like this. Tang Yun sighed slowly.
Tian Feichen's face was shocked, and then he whispered, "What now?" ”
Tang Yun said: "Tell everyone, the people of the Northern Wilderness probably didn't expect us to be here, so they quietly withdrew first to see if there was a way out." It is no longer possible to return from the originally planned route. ”
Tian Feichen said worriedly: "I'm afraid that the way down the mountain now has been blocked by them." ”
"There is a cliff in the southwest, and from there it leads straight to the Western Desert. It seems that the matter has been revealed, let's change the route back to Liangzhou and quickly report the news to the general! ”
Tang Yun made a decision immediately, and since he had made a decision, everyone quietly began to retreat.
Xuanyue sighed and was woken up by Tang Yun. She was still tired and her eyes weren't fully open. Tang Yun was worried that she would make a sound, so he covered her mouth and whispered, "The people from the Earth Eagle Department have caught up, shut their mouths, and follow behind me honestly." ”
Xuanyue's eyes suddenly widened, and she could see that she was very jealous of the people from the Earth Eagle Department, and nodded busily.
A few people walked away in the grass, walking lightly and not making a sound. Xuanyue was hugged by Tang Yun, this time she was not willful, and was obediently held in Tang Yun's arms.
Passing through the trees, the group soon came to the cliff.
Sure enough, there are no people from the Earth Eagle Department here, and perhaps even they didn't expect that this cliff could be passed through.
The cliff is very steep, between the two cliffs is more than ten feet away, and below is a bottomless abyss. The map says that there is a hard stone underneath this, and if you fall it, you will definitely die!
The sergeants seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and someone prepared a flying claw, attached to a thick rope, grabbed it with his right hand, threw it in the air a few times, and threw it violently.
Bang Bang Bang!
Talon grabbed the rocks on the opposite cliff and pulled them back, and when they were sure they were secure, someone found a few sturdy trees nearby to tie them into.
At this moment, the rope was completely straightened, and several dexterous sergeants had already grasped the rope with their hands, put their legs on it, and slid directly to the opposite side.
For the general's personal soldiers, these are very familiar things. But Xuanyue glanced at it, but she trembled with fear.
Originally, she couldn't see clearly, but when she arrived at this cliff, the bright moon in the sky sprinkled a piece of moonlight, which just reflected the abyss below.
Xuanyue begged: "I don't want to go over, you let me go and run by yourself." ”
Tang Yun gently patted her on the shoulder and said, "The Earth Eagle Department has killed a warrior of the hundred-man team, they can't catch us, and they will vent all their anger on you." If it falls into their hands, you can think about the consequences. ”
Xuanyue shuddered.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of rustling in the grass behind Tang Yun, Xuanyue couldn't help but scream in a low voice, but it was Tian Feichen who walked out of the grass.
Tian Feichen still had a lot of leaves on his body, and he said anxiously: "Those people from the Northern Wilderness seem to have discovered the traces of our stationing, and they are following the footprints, and they will arrive in a while!" ”
Tang Yun immediately decided: "After I break it, you hurry up!" ”
This is not the time to be hypocritical, Tian Feichen nodded, grabbed the rope and walked over.
On this side of the cliff, there were only two sturdy trees, so only two ropes were erected. Dozens of people don't seem like much, but because of the fear that the rope will suddenly break, only two people can walk at a time, so the speed is still very slow.
Now that he was halfway away, Tang Yun's ears moved, and he heard the sound of hurried footsteps in the jungle behind him.
These people from the Northern Wilderness are not stupid, and they actually expected that they would come to this cliff.
At this time, the sergeants who were still on the edge of the cliff pulled out their knives, and Tang Yun shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing, put away the knives." This operation failed, and the tongue was taken by the Northern Wilderness, so he hurried over, and when he got to the cliff, he didn't have to wait, and quickly told the general the news. ”
Tian Feichen was shocked: "Tang Yun, what are you going to do?" ”
Tang Yun pulled out his knife and said in a deep voice; "I'll go and lead them away, and you can go one by one."
After speaking, Tang Yun glanced at Xuanyue again, ignored her anymore, and rushed directly into the darkness.
The night is very deep.
The sergeants on this side of the cliff quickened their speed, and one by one they deftly climbed the rope and ran over.
No one paid attention to her, and the person named Tian Feichen also glanced at her coldly, then ignored it, as if he wanted to let her live and die.
Xuanyue felt a chill in her heart, her royal token had been taken away by these Zhou soldiers.
But, that doesn't matter.
As long as you live, as long as you live to go to the imperial capital.
Xuanyue clenched her hands tightly, and for the first time she felt so heavy on her shoulders. She knew that she couldn't go to Da Zhou with these people, and it would be a dead end to get there.
The Zhou army on this side of the cliff soon all walked away.
The night wind howled, rolling up leaves and fluttering on the edge of the cliffs.
It was eerily silent, but there was no rush of footsteps behind him.
"Maybe he's already lured people away...... Xuanyue thought.
Courageously, she carefully grasped the rope with her hand, and the whole rope swayed in the wind as if it were about to break in the next moment.
Although he was brave enough to write in his heart, he was uncontrollably timid when he saw the cliff below.
Behind.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps.
The next moment, she was directly picked up, and Xuanyue couldn't help but scream.
"Hurry up!" Tang Yun's voice was hoarse, Xuan Yue glanced at it with her eyes, and was surprised to find that Tang Yun had a shocking wound on his body.
