Chapter 55: Within a Thread
Although Lu Xiao was annoyed, he couldn't. He was not a man of impatience, and now it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to jump on the horse with the general. The women of Qingfeng Village also got on the horses one after another, and they were all born in bandits, even if they had no martial arts, they were much stronger and more spicy than ordinary women. Many of them could ride horses, and the remaining twenty or so people sat in four large carts, and the bold one among them urged the coachman to go quickly with a knife.
Chen Nian took Yang Gui hostage with a dagger and got into the last carriage, sat at the back of the carriage facing backwards, and said in a cold voice to the officers and soldiers who were chasing behind: "Backwards! Don't push me to hurt anyone! ”
In this way, Lu Xiao rode a horse in front of him and used the military general to open the way, the girls of Qingfeng Village followed closely, and Chen Nian escorted Yang Gui to press the formation behind, and the group really slowly broke out of the pile of officers and soldiers without danger.
As soon as he got out of the camp, Chen Nian asked the long-faced girl named Lingque to ride a horse and lead the way to lead everyone to escape to the "first line of heaven". Lu Xiao saw that someone was leading the way, so he slowed down and accompanied Chen Nian's car. The military general in his hand shouted: "This hero, since you have come out, let me go, I, Jude Yuan, swear never to chase you!" ”
This time, without waiting for Chen Nian to answer, Lu Xiao replied angrily: "I don't believe your Han people's words anymore!" After speaking, he knocked Jude far away with a palm knife. The many officers and soldiers chasing behind saw that their adults had fainted and did not know whether they were alive or dead, and they were all in a hurry for a while, and the team immediately pressed forward again, and shouted urgently: "My lord! ”
Chen Nian hurriedly shouted: "You adults are not dead, retreat!" ”
Although all the officers and soldiers were resentful, they did not dare to press too hard, and only stuck to a place dozens of feet behind.
After entering the Flying Dragon Avenue, Chen Nian did not return to the west, but continued to go east. Although it was nearly midnight at this moment, the bright moon was in the sky, and the moonlight illuminated the road very clearly, Chen Nian and the others walked east along the Flying Dragon for more than twenty miles before abandoning the road and turning into a valley on the south side. After a while, the mountain road gradually narrowed, and soon the carriage could not be carried out. The women in the carriage came down one after another, and Chen Nian ordered the coachmen to knock the coachmen unconscious, and then lit the carriage on the road with fire, and then quickly retreated with everyone to the "first line of heaven" behind.
The "Ray of Sky" can be described as a veritable name, where the mountains on both sides of the valley meet, leaving only a thin cliff crack in the middle, and the narrowest point can only accommodate two people side by side. But as long as this "line of sky" is passed, the road will suddenly open up again, and the valley will continue to extend to the south, straight into the countless mountains and ravines of Taihang.
Chen Nian knew very well that if she was elsewhere, she and the girls would never be able to get rid of the thousands of officers and soldiers who were chasing after her. It is only in this "line of heaven" that is difficult to open when the husband is closed, and this natural pass is used as a barrier, that it is possible for them to support the arrival of Qingfeng Village's reinforcements. Not to mention that there is a stunned but strong martial arts Lu Xiao right now, as long as she calculates properly, she may not need reinforcements to help these companions escape.
Before entering the narrow "first line of sky", the moonlight was blocked by the mountain peaks, and the light suddenly dimmed, but fortunately there were torches illuminated, so that I could barely see the road under my feet. Chen Nian left Lu Xiao to guard the two hostages at the entrance, and he walked to the first line, telling the sparrow to flee south with everyone through the "first line of heaven", and whispered: "Xiaoliu has gone back to the village in advance to ask for help, but we have already come out far away, we can't just point to the rescuers in the village, but also try our best to save ourselves." When they get out of this valley in the south, no matter how dark it is, everyone will put out the torches and touch the path to Crouching Tiger Mountain! ”
Seeing that Chen Nian wanted to stay here to stop the pursuers for them, a bold girl shouted: "Chen Nian, I won't go, I'll accompany you here!" ”
As soon as this remark came out, many people responded immediately, they are all women who grew up in the cottage, deeply influenced by their father and brother, and there is also a trace of blood hidden in their bones. This kind of character is not easy to see on weekdays, but today it has undergone great changes, and at this moment, there are Chen Nian's words and deeds in front of him, and this trace of blood is suddenly stimulated. All of a sudden, the arrogance of all the women skyrocketed, and even the most timid woman stopped crying, gritted her teeth and waited to obey Chen Nian's arrangement.
Chen Nian didn't think about getting anything in return before saving people, but at this moment, when he heard such words, he still felt warm in his heart, and even the previous coldness was dispelled a lot. She suddenly felt that her chest was full of pride, and she couldn't help laughing loudly, and said loudly: "Sisters, I Xie Chennian has such a sentence today, even if I die, I will not regret it!" However, none of us need to die today, everyone doesn't need to, and I don't need to! You go first, I have my own way to get out! ”
Everyone wanted to say more, but Chen Nian was already righteous again: "Don't talk nonsense, go quickly!" The sooner you are safe, the sooner I can get out! ”
Among these girls, the spirit sparrow personality is the most crisp and refreshing, and when she heard the words, she took the lead in saying "take care" to Chen Nian, and turned around with a torch and ran southward.
Chen Nian turned around and walked back to Lu Xiao's side, but saw that Yang Gui and the military general named Ju Deyuan were lying on the ground without moving, and he was suddenly startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to probe the breath of these two people, for fear that Lu Xiao, who was stunned, would really kill people again.
Lu Xiao said on the side: "I'm not dead, but I'm all unconscious." ”
Chen Nian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "You're going to scare me to death, kill these two people now, you can't run away!" ”
Lu Xiao raised his eyes to look at her and asked, "You stay here by yourself, how can you escape in the end?" ”
Chen Nian grinned at him when he heard this, and replied, "Isn't there still you?" Aren't you here to save me? ”
Lu Xiao choked, and the little change in his heart caused by her courage to save her companions suddenly dissipated, and he snorted indignantly and ignored her.
Chen Nian only had time to look at his face at this time, and saw that his deep eyes and nose were profound, and he did have a foreign face, so he couldn't help but ask him, "Where are you from?" How will I know my Father? ”
Lu Xiao was still angry at her previous deception, and refused to pay attention to her, only holding his strange knife in his arms, leaning against the stone wall with a cold face and closing his eyes there. Seeing this, Chen Nian didn't want to find himself bored, so he didn't ask him anymore, and instead focused on looking at the approaching firelight dragon on the mountain road to the north.
Those officers and soldiers were already chasing after each other, and although there were fire-burning carts blocking the road, they only delayed their efforts for a moment, and they were soon about to reach the "first line of heaven." Chen Nian asked Lu Xiao to pull Jude Yuan to his side, and he also picked up Yang Gui in front of him, and shouted at the officers and soldiers who had approached him, "Stop!" Otherwise, I'll kill these two!" ”
Because they were worried about their own adults, the officers and soldiers did not dare to continue to move forward, but surrounded the cliff gap in an impenetrable manner. The short officer surnamed Xiang stood at the front of everyone and said angrily: "We have released your people according to the agreement, let the adults go quickly, if you dare to hurt a single hair of the adults, you will definitely want to look good!" ”
Yang Guixian woke up leisurely in Chen Nian's hand, looked at the current situation, and said, "Girl, your people are already gone." The two of you are strong in martial arts, and we can't keep you, so why don't you keep your word and let me go? ”
