Chapter 861: A Rope
"You mean Miss Dou Pei, the daughter of General Dou's Mansion, what did he do in Fenghu Gorge? I heard that the continuous heavy rain in the past few days has washed away the only suspension bridge there, and it seems that there have been landslides on both sides of Fenghu Gorge, but it is very dangerous?" The man looked solemn.
"Who said it wasn't!" The old man in Mai pursed his lips, sighed, and said, "I heard that Miss Dou Pei went to Fenghu Gorge to worship people! I heard that in the past three years, every time after the Midyear Festival, Miss Dou Pei has to go there to worship someone, and the thunder can't move! Today, catching up with such a heavy rain, I heard that this young lady still braved the heavy rain to go, but she was trapped by the slippery mountain, if it wasn't for the passing farmers to see it, I'm afraid no one would know! Alas, how can Miss Dou Pei's delicate body withstand such a waste!"
"I wonder which dead fellow could make this general's daughter so obsessed? Could it be her relatives?" the man asked again in confusion.
The old man in Mai took a sip of tea, shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but from three years ago to now, Miss Dou Pei has changed a lot! From a gentleman to today's praise, I heard that she was still like sisters with Princess Ji Ling before, but then I don't know how the two became rivals! Now too, whenever Princess Ji Ling appears, Miss Dou Pei never appears! Moreover, since three years ago, Miss Dou Pei has never worn men's clothes! However, everyone said that Miss Dou Pei, who was dressed in women's clothes, was really captivating the country and the city, and in my opinion, such a look was not much better than Princess Ji Ling!"
The other person immediately resonated and became interested, and said, "That's it, I've seen it once before, it's so beautiful, like a fairy daughter......
"Childe, Childe!" Gong Xuechen once again amplified his voice and called out to Dan Xuan, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the other party's eyes. Dan Xuan woke up, and then retracted his attention.
"Childe, shouldn't we go into the city......"
Seeing that Dan Xuan woke up, Gong Xuechen hurriedly spoke, however, Dan Xuan's attention was still not on Gong Xuechen, he hurriedly got up and walked towards the table next to him, took out a silver ingot from his arms and put it on the other party's table.
The two who were talking about Dou Pei were stunned for a long time, and the old man in sackcloth looked at the silver on the table with his eyes shining.
"I'll ask you a few questions, and answer truthfully, this ingot of silver is yours!" Dan Xuan said coldly.
There was a flash of ecstasy on the faces of the two people at the table, and they nodded again and again.
Dan Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "First question, how long has Dou Pei been trapped in the Wind Tiger Gorge?"
The old man in Mai hurriedly replied: "It's been three days since I went back to this son!"
Dan Xuan's eyes gradually narrowed, and said, "The second question, she, has she ever been injured?"
"This, according to rumors, seems to be not lightly injured!" replied the old man in Mai again.
"Last question!Is Fenghu Gorge the cliff canyon in the upper reaches of the Yi River?" Dan Xuan's face became more and more gloomy.
The old man in Mai nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, yes! It's that canyon!"
"The silver is yours!" Dan Xuan turned around suddenly, and quickly walked to the tea stall to untie the horses tied to the tree.
Gong Xuechen looked surprised, didn't he enter the city in his heart, but he couldn't disobey the Beichuan overlord in front of him, and hurriedly followed to untie the reins.
Fenghu Gorge is actually the canyon where Dan Xuan was shot by Jin Houdun back then! If Dou Pei went there to worship someone, then it must be him Dan Xuan who worshipped!
Dan Xuan turned over and galloped in the direction where the team left, Gong Xuechen felt that he couldn't keep up with his speed.
Fast horses like flying, Dan Xuan's face was solemn, but what he thought of was outside the Kuimen three years ago, a young man who was tied to an iron pillar like a dog, when almost everyone scolded him as a sinner, but there was only a girl dressed in a daughter's costume who fed him a few pieces of bamboo shoots on the execution ground despite everyone's disdainful eyes, and now, the girl braved the rain to worship him! In the eyes of that girl, she had already been dead for three years, but even so, she still insisted, just with the girl's kindness, Dan Xuan would save her even if she went to the soup and fire!
After speeding along the official road for nearly an hour, Dan Xuan and Gong Xuechen finally arrived at Fenghu Gorge.
At this time, a large number of people had gathered on the side of Fenghu Gorge, except for the people watching around, most of them were soldiers. On the edge of the canyon there are still remnants of wooden planks left by the collapse of the original suspension bridge. The two people at the tea stall were right, the drawbridge was indeed broken!
Dou Kang, who was dressed in armor, was full of worry and commanded his subordinates to take ropes to rescue.
"Hurry up, hurry up! Why haven't you connected yet?" Liang Jie, one of Dou Kang's lieutenants, commanded as he stood on the edge of the Wind Tiger Canyon.
Dan Xuan walked to the front of the crowd and looked at the situation on the other side of the canyon, but saw that in a very wide mudflow ravine, a young girl was crushed by a boulder, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead!
The girl on the other side of the canyon was the figure that Dan Xuan was familiar with, it was Dou Pei! His heart trembled, and he couldn't wait to immediately spread his wings and fly over to rescue her! However, he couldn't do this, if he unfolded his Gu Feathers and flew over to save people, his identity would definitely be exposed!
"What should I do......" Dan Xuan's mind turned sharply.
At this time, on the edge of the canyon, the deputy general named Liang Jie suddenly shouted: "General, the first rope has been connected!"
The crowd of onlookers immediately began to discuss, and Dou Kang hurriedly came over. He looked at a rope hanging on both sides of the canyon, his brows were tightly locked, and he knew in his heart that even the first rope had wasted so much time, and if he connected the second rope and the third rope, if he could really save people, his daughter would save a fart!
"General, the second rope should be connected in another hour, as long as the three ropes are connected, the weight should be able to ensure the passage of two people......" Liang Jie explained, he was also a little anxious, but there was no way to do it.
"No! I can't wait!" Dou Kang suddenly interrupted Liang Jie's words, he raised his head and glanced anxiously at the figure of the girl who didn't know life and death, and said, "Just a rope, I'll go over!"
As he spoke, Dou Kang prepared to remove the shoulder armor from his shoulders.
"General, don't!" all the sergeants knelt down on one knee, and Liang Ming said: "General, you must not!" A rope is difficult to withstand even one person, and besides, the general is burly, if you add the two young ladies, the stones on the opposite side of the canyon will not be fixed securely, if so, if it is true......"
Liang Jie couldn't say anything, but Dou Kang roared angrily and said, "This can't work, that doesn't work, do you just let me watch my baby daughter breathe here?"
As he spoke, Dou Kang raised his leg and kicked Liang Jie's shoulder, kicking him over!
But even so, Liang Jie still knelt down on one knee again, and also insisted: "General, even if you kill your subordinates with a sword, your subordinates will never agree to your past!"
"You!" Dou Kang actually pulled out his long sword and put it on Liang Jie's neck, and the onlookers let out an exclamation, but Dou Kang did not really cut off Liang Jie's head, because he knew that Liang Jie was obstructed because of his loyalty.
Liang Jie looked like he was not afraid of death, Dou Kang couldn't do it again, and finally had to sigh, but at this moment, a young man's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Let me try......"
The young man's voice was calm, as if he were talking about something extremely ordinary.
