Chapter 10 Heading to Qingzhou
It's not a question of who else she wants, it's a matter of the two of them who can't break through the Flying Dragon Pass at all! Not to mention just the two of them, even if all the people from Qingfeng Village come, they may not be able to break through. This pass is only more than 20 miles away from Qingzhou, and it will arrive in an instant, as long as the defenders can stand up for half an hour, the army of Qingzhou can come to the rescue, and then they can't run if they want to. This can't be the depths of the Taihang Mountain where Qingfeng Village is the king and hegemon, once it meets the army outside the pass, no matter how fierce the mountain bandits are, they are not the opponents of the army.
Chen Nian knew that his father-in-law was not a joker, and since he said so, he really had the intention of breaking through. She swallowed dryly and spat, and cautiously probed, "Father-in-law, can you allow me to say a few words?" ”
Although Mu Zhanyue frowned slightly, he did not refuse.
Chen Nian knew his habits very well, and knew that this reaction could be regarded as a positive reply, so he hurriedly analyzed the situation at the pass with him carefully, her voice was crisp, and the speed of speech was fast, Mu Zhanyue wanted to speak a few times, but his mouth had not opened yet, Chen Nian had already said half of the next sentence here, and he didn't even leave a room for people to interject. In the end, she finally finished speaking and came to a conclusion: "Father-in-law, we can't break through this level." ”
Mu Zhanyue had time to speak, and he asked Chen Nian first: "Are you done?" ”
Chen Nian groaned for a while, and just wanted to add a few more words, but Mu Zhanyue was already in front of her and said coldly: "Whether you finish talking or not, you have to shut up first." ”
Chen Nian was a little embarrassed, hehe laughed dryly, and closed his mouth exaggeratedly.
Mu Zhanyue glanced at her and said, "They have been strictly checking the pass for a few days without any trace of the assassins, and they will definitely be mentally slack, and they will even guess that I am hiding in the Flying Dragon Sect because I am afraid of their momentum." As a result, they may carry out a detailed search of the interior of the city today. And now is not wartime, there will not be too many defenders at the pass, and if we divide the troops, there will be fewer people at the pass, and we only need to mix in the pedestrians and get closer, and then there will be a sudden attack, and no one can stop it. ”
Chen Nian's mind was quick and his reaction was extremely fast, and he immediately questioned: "Then there is still the Qingzhou army, even if we can break through the pass, what if we are intercepted by the army?" ”
Mu Zhanyue said lightly: "Just the two of us, the defenders will not alarm the Qingzhou army because of us." ”
What he said was reasonable, but Chen Nian just felt that it was unreliable to do so, she didn't have the courage to point it out directly to Mu Zhanyue, so she could only take the responsibility on herself, and reminded Mu Zhanyue very tactfully: "Father-in-law, I haven't practiced kung fu yet, and not only can I not help you when the time comes, I'm afraid I'll have to hold you back." And," she pointed to the two mounts next to her, "our horses are not good enough, and even if we are lucky enough to break through the level, we will not be able to shake off the pursuers behind us." ”
Mu Zhanyue looked at Chen Nian expressionlessly and asked, "Do you think it's not feasible to break through directly?" ”
Chen Nian nodded tightly, not only is it not feasible, it is simply to kill himself!
Mu Zhanyue thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Then you want to go over the mountain?" ”
Chen Nian wanted to cry without tears when she heard it, she said that it is not feasible to break through the level directly, it does not mean that it is feasible to go over the mountain, okay? Taihang Mountain is steep in the west, the more you go to Qingzhou, the steeper the mountain is, the more difficult it is to walk, and some places are even cliffs, and you can't go! If it weren't for such topography, Feilong would not have become a transportation artery connecting the two states.
She looked at Mu Zhanyue with blank eyes, and discussed: "Father-in-law, do we have to go to Qingzhou?" It's better to go south to north than to west, it's really not good, we can go back to the village first, and then go south to Yicheng that road, it's a big deal to wait for Wanjiang River and then turn west, that is, to detour a long way, and spend a month more. ”
Mu Zhanyue's eyes were firm, and he replied in a deep voice: "I have to go to Qingzhou, and I can't delay." ”
Then you can only choose one from the pass and the mountain, Chen Nian sat cross-legged on the ground, lowered his head and weighed the advantages and disadvantages of each, raised his head and said: "Since this is the case, then let's go over the mountain." ”
Going over the mountain, although it takes a long time and will be more difficult, but compared to forcibly breaking through, Mu Zhanyue faces much less danger. It's just that her light skills are not too good, and I'm afraid she will have to suffer a lot. Chen Nian sighed, resigned himself to getting up from the ground, quickly packed his bags, turned his head and asked Mu Zhanyue, "Father-in-law, what about these two horses?" ”
People can barely go over the mountain, but this horse can't get by, Chennian's horse is okay to say, but it was snatched from Feng Junyang, and he threw it away, but Mu Zhanyue's horse was a mount that had followed him for a few years, although it was not a thousand-mile horse, but it was also a pretty good horse, and it was really reluctant to lose it like this.
Mu Zhanyue patted the horse's neck gently, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Let it go." ”
Chen Nian nodded, silently untied all the miscellaneous things that were hanging immediately, picked out useful things and brought them with him, and hid the rest in the cracks of the mountain rocks. Afraid of leaving traces for the other party, the two deliberately rode back to the main road of the Flying Dragon, found a wide place to the west, tied the horse to a crooked neck tree, and then left in the opposite direction. Chen Nian couldn't help but look back when he walked out, and muttered in his mouth: "God bless you to meet a kind-hearted new master, some eat and some live, and you don't work and suffer less." ”
Mu Zhanyue paused, glanced sideways at her, and asked her, "Is this raising horses or pigs?" ”
Chen Nian honestly shut his mouth.
The two of them traveled more than twenty miles eastward, turning from the Flying Dragon into a slender canyon running north-south. The canyon is extremely inconspicuous and not deep, with a Wyvern at one end and a cliff at the other, as if you could see the head at a glance. But only people who grow up in the Taihang Mountain know that at the end of this canyon, there is a sheep intestine path under the cliff that can turn to the west, and then turn over a few steep mountains, you can go out of the Taihang Mountain and reach the outside of Qingzhou City.
Mu Zhanyue and Chen Nian had just turned into the canyon, and before they had gone far, they heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from far away from the Flying Dragon Clan. At first, the two of them did not pay attention to it, until the sound of the horse's hooves suddenly stopped at the mouth of the canyon, and they became alert, and the two of them looked at each other, flashed to the sides of the canyon, and hid their bodies behind the rocks. After a while, the sound of the horse's hooves turned to the canyon. Chen Nian couldn't hold his breath, he couldn't help but poke his head out secretly and looked over, and saw that the person who came was dressed as a sergeant, jogging on a horse, and sweeping around, never thought it was Ye Xiaoqi!
Chen Nian was stunned for a moment, stood up without thinking about it, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Qi! ”
