Chapter 232: War
However, at this time, when I looked at the opposite hillside, I still didn't see Sang Qing's figure, and I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
We agreed that she would whistle to me as soon as she was in place, but nothing had been done, so where the hell had they gone? Haven't found the right spot for so long?
But now that the patrol team has appeared, it is too late to send someone to the other side to confirm, and I can only believe in this girl's ability to adapt to the situation.
On the other side of the road, following the appearance of a vanguard of more than a dozen people in front, a carriage appeared, with a black canopy drape, and black-clothed guards on both sides to protect it.
But then there were almost identical carriages, one after the other, and the vanguard was almost to where we were, and there was still no end in sight. I counted them, and there were as many as ten carriages following them!
"That's a lot of people!" Zhao Xi said beside him.
"yes, it looks like it's real this time!" I nodded.
Although the procession was large, it marched in an orderly manner, and no one spoke, except for the clatter of horses' hooves and the creaking of wheels, echoing between the two mountains.
I was probing my head to observe, when I suddenly heard three sharp whistles from somewhere in the mountains and forests, one long and one short, and one long, so abrupt that it broke the silence at once, and surprised the group at the bottom of the mountain and those of us halfway up the mountain!
"What's going on? This...... Is it Sang Qing, are they? Let her whistle and let her know, why is it so complicated? I said in surprise.
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden rush of horses' hooves, and there was a faint noise of human voices, but this noise was not chaotic, although it was not uniform, but the momentum was amazing, and under the distinction, they were shouting a word--- "Kill!" ā
This sudden change caused a sudden commotion in the team below, and the person who walked in the front waved his hand, and the whole team stopped, and all the black-clothed guards quickly gathered, and their blades were struck, constantly looking around vigilantly, with a posture of being ready for battle!
We are in a higher position, naturally we can hear more clearly, this shouting is from the front of the team, there is a turn about 500 meters out of that direction, and now we can't see anyone coming, but because the sound fell back through the mountain, we noticed it earlier.
I looked far away, trying to see who it was, but no matter who it was, it was certain that it was not good! The worst fears have happened! It was as if the heart had risen to its throat at once, and its clenched hands were sweating.
But before anyone could appear here, suddenly there was a sound of blades cliding, mixed with the exclamations of many people, not from the direction I was observing, but from the tail of the line below!
Oops! When I suddenly came to my senses and turned my head to look, the rear of the group was already in chaos, and through the mist, I could see that the black-clad guards were already fighting with a group of yellow-clad men, and the horses in the group were frightened and tried to rush forward, but fortunately a few horsemen were holding on tightly to not break up the crowd in front of them!
The guards in front couldn't see the situation behind them, and they seemed anxious at this time, but on such a narrow mountain road, they could only turn in place and be helpless!
However, they didn't stay idle for long, and at the corner in front of the mountain road, a large group of people finally came out, probably the group of people who shouted to attract everyone's attention at first, bluffing in front and sneaking in the rear at the same time, it looked like a sniper that had been prepared for a long time! The three whistles just now, I'm afraid they were sent by Sang Qing, but they were the charging signal for this group of people to attack!
And at this time, I have seen clearly that these people in yellow clothes do not have uniform clothing like these black-clothed guards in the court, and even the decoration of the horses is exactly the same configuration. The clothes of this group of people are just the civilian clothes worn by ordinary peasants when they work in the fields, which are generally yellow, but the specific details are different, of course, the horses they ride and the various blades they hold in their hands are even more impossible to be unified!
This suddenly reminded me of the rebellious people who stormed the camp of Lishanling a while ago, which was a temporary armed force composed of peasants in the vicinity.
The chaos in the rear has not yet been resolved, and the front troops of the men in black have quickly engaged with the team of men in yellow on the opposite side. Suddenly, the sound of fighting resounded through the valley, and the situation was completely out of control!
"The fire is ready, right? Hurry up! I shouted to the people behind me, but my eyes didn't dare to leave the battle below for a moment.
When we came, we prepared a lot of firewood and grass, mixed wet and dry, and if we lit them together, the open flame was not big, and only a lot of smoke would come out. I have made an agreement with General Wei Qi that if anything happens before the party enters the camp, I will notify him in this way. I guess he must have sent men to keep looking over here at this time.
As long as this signal is sent, Wei Qi will immediately send troops to support, although this peasant army is menacing, but it is still unable to match the real army!
But for a long time I had given this order, there had been no movement, not even the smell of burnt fire coming from the ignition.
I was thinking it was strange, but when I looked back, I saw that three of the four people who were originally guarding behind me had fallen to the ground, and only Zhao Xi was left standing there with his back to me, as if looking at the three people lying on the ground.
"What's going on?" I pounced on the three men, tried to breathe, and found that they were not dead, they didn't even look like they had fainted, they were breathing evenly, their faces were calm, they looked like they were ...... It's like falling asleep!
"What's wrong with them?" I asked eagerly.
"Just like you can see, asleep." Zhao Xi said on the side.
"How could it be ......" I was about to ask again, but I felt a chill on the side of my face, but what kind of blade was already pointed in front of me.
"Zhaoxi, you ......" The sword facing me right now is none other than the clever and thoughtful Zhaoxi!
āā¦ā¦ What are you doing? I insisted on finishing half of what I had said.
"Don't you understand? Stop you from signaling! He said with a smile.
"You...... It's a mole! I screamed.
"Haha!" He laughed out loud and said calmly, "It's okay if you say that, but I'm not just a traitor, I planned the whole thing." ā
He slowly withdrew his arm, approached me, put his sword across my neck, and leaned closer, staring into my eyes, and said meaningfully, "How's it going?" Can't think of it, Mo Yan Gongzi? ā
I stared at him obliquely and asked, "Did you say the whole thing from killing Zhou Liu?" ā
"Circulation? Hum! He snorted, his eyes full of disdain, "He's not qualified enough to be part of my plan." ā
"Not qualified? Didn't you kill him? I said again.
A complicated expression flashed across Zhao Xi's face, but he immediately regained his composure and said, "Yes, he did die because of me, but I didn't kill him with my own hands. I have a principle that I never kill. ā
"And how the hell did he die?" I asked.
"No, Mo Yan Gongzi," Zhao Xi said as if surprised, "aren't you known as the first person in the world to observe minds?" Didn't find out such a trivial matter? ā
"Well," I muttered, and then said earnestly, "if he was still alive when I came, I might try to check it out." Guess what the dead think, it's not our forte! ā
Zhao Xi was stunned for a moment, but then returned to his indifferent appearance just now, and said, "It's said that he is not part of the plan, and there is no need to pursue it...... No wonder you don't even recognize me, it seems that you are focusing on those meaningless things! ā
"Then tell me what things are not meaningless?" I asked.
"Don't you just ask, when did I start this project?" He said, his young face full of ostentation.
"Then let's guess now, did it start by gathering people to attack the defense of Lishan Tomb?" I touched my chin and said.
But he shook his head like a rattle, and smiled proudly: "I knew that you would say this, tell you, no!" I planned this five years ago. ā
"Five years ago, did you mean when you came here?"
"Not bad! When I came here, I had already made up my mind that even if I spend my whole life here, I would find an opportunity to kill Win Zheng! (To be continued.) )
