Chapter 304 - Falling into the Hollow
Xu An is upright, although he knows that his general has received a secret decree from his body, and he is not the bastard of straw bags, but after all, he is just a small commander, where does he know how to figure out the sacred heart and the way of officialdom, and he doesn't know General Gao's careful thinking.
Without waiting for Yan Qingchuan to speak, he stepped forward first, clasped his fists in a military salute, and said respectfully: "Lord Qincha, this time I patrolled the garrison to suppress bandits, although I lost a lot of soldiers, but I finally eliminated the trouble in Yanbei's heart, even if General Gao and the bandit..."
"Commander Xu!" Gordon heard that Xu An was going to trap and kill the people of the Golden Daomen and tell him, although he knew that the old Xu Nai had good intentions and wanted to cover up the guilt for himself, but he was afraid that this tiger eye would see the clue, and hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it.
Yan Qingchuan was only halfway through hearing the burly general's words, and he was stopped by Gordon, who had been immersed in officialdom for some years, and immediately knew that there was still a secret in it.
And no matter how these bandits were able to infiltrate the patrol army, that is, when they jumped on their horses, this straw bag general commanded the soldiers to be calm and calm, and after the thieves were ambushed, he saw that he had a conflict with Mu Yi, and pretended to faint and fell to the ground.
But Yan Qingchuan didn't care why Gordon pretended to appear like this, he only thought about the transfer of troops, and was about to open his mouth to Gordon: "General Gao, can you take a step to speak." ”
Seeing that Qin Cha seemed to have something to ask, Gao Deng immediately took away his previous bastard appearance, got up and said respectfully: "Qin Cha has a life, how dare the last general disobey." ”
Moving to the side with the Qincha, Gordon looked at this young man, at such an age, he was favored by the saint, and his future was limitless, so he saluted respectfully and said: "Please forgive the last general's clumsiness, I don't know the name of Lord Qincha, what is the mission here in Yanbei." ”
Yan Qingchuan misunderstood this straw bag general, and only said that he was tempting with words, but he didn't care, don't say that it was him, it was himself, in this place where he was helpless, a master of the Qincha suddenly appeared, and he would definitely be suspicious, and then reveal his identity.
"General Gao, I am Yan Qingchuan, the commander of the Imperial Front Division and the commander of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and I was ordered to go north, in order to thoroughly investigate the case of the Jin Dynasty's ranger attack and disturbance of Yanbei."
The name of Yan Qingchuan, Gao Deng has already heard of it, and the name of his Grandmaster Realm father has already resounded in Qiyun, not to mention that he has entered the Dengtang at a young age, and he is even more respectful: "It turned out to be the son of Grandmaster Yan, Gao Deng has eyes and no beads, please forgive me." ”
After thinking about it, the saint had already given himself the will to act in secret, to eradicate the trouble of Yanbei, why did he send Yan Qingchuan to the north again, but Gordon didn't dare to ask more, let alone speculate about the saint's intentions, and stood down with anxiety.
"Don't hide it from the general, Yan went north this time, just to protect him, and he is a messenger, but in fact, there are other people." Yan Qingchuan pondered it, thinking that it was better to tell the truth as the person chosen by the saint.
Gordon was shocked when he heard this, and immediately reacted, Qin Cha has another person, and there are only people who can let Yan Qingchuan protect him, except for the current saint, there is...
couldn't help but panic, coupled with the shoulder injury, Gao Deng's brows were immediately locked, his eyes were tentative, and he looked at Yan Qingchuan and said, "Could it be..."
"Yes, the Chin Cha who went north is a member of the royal family, and is... His Royal Highness King Ning. Yan Qingchuan looked at Gordon's appearance and knew that he knew it in his heart, so he immediately spoke.
Ning Wang Weifu went north, he didn't know any news, he didn't have time to think about the reason, he hurriedly raised his head and looked around, this kind of news, once leaked, will definitely cause chaos in the north of Yanbei, seeing that no one can hear the conversation between himself and Yan Qingchuan, he is a little relieved... Immediately thought of the conflict between Yan Qingchuan and the young man in green shirts, could it be that King Ning was in trouble? On Gordon's cheeks, a cold sweat suddenly appeared, and he spoke eagerly.
"When did His Highness enter Yanbei, and where is it now?"
Yan Qingchuan didn't speak, just looked sideways at the sky.
Looking at the place where Yan Qingchuan raised his head, what caught Gordon's eye was the beacon fire in the sky, reflecting the night sky in red.
Originally, I thought that there were Jin people entering the customs, and then I learned that it was bandits who made a rebellion, and it must have been the people in Mojun who were anxious to burn the beacon fire for help, and it turned out that the person who burned the beacon tower was His Royal Highness King Ning, seeing this scene, not only the cold sweat on his cheeks, but also the entire back of Gordon was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
"General Gao, the patrol garrison you led suffered a lot of casualties, where is the closest transferable pawn to Mo County right now." Yan Qingchuan saw that Gordon knew the severity of the matter, and immediately opened his mouth to mention the matter of transferring troops.
In fact, even if Yan Qingchuan doesn't make the matter of King Ning clear, Gordon will also transfer troops, these golden knife men are ambushed, and the thieves flee, Gordon knows that the bandits are exhausted, and they still need to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and they can't leave a bane for the people of Yanbei... Moreover, more than half of the soldiers in the hands were lost, and less than thirty percent of the soldiers who could fight, so they needed to transfer troops to come.
Hearing Yan Qingchuan's mouth, he immediately replied: "There are still eight or nine battalion soldiers in Wei County, and when I suppressed the bandits before, I have sent a fast horse to ask for help, and after careful calculation, I will be able to arrive at dawn." ”
"That being the case, I also ask General Gao to lead the army in the direction of Wei County, and after ushering in reinforcements, we will join forces together and go to the beacon tower to welcome His Royal Highness King Ning."
Yan Qingchuan didn't see the wound on Gordon's shoulder, but at this moment, he was anxious, coupled with what the young man in green shirt said before, the team of people rushed to the beacon tower, which would attract people's attention, especially the young man's mouth was covering his face in the dark, his own side was in the light, and he couldn't prevent it, so it was better to march in the opposite direction, cover for Mu Yi, and when his mind was set, he urged Gordon to march.
It was about King Ning, and Gordon didn't care about his shoulder injury, and immediately said: "Commander Yan rest assured, I will order someone to leave immediately." ”
——
This long night was finally over, but the dawn of the morning did not bring hope to the land of Yanbei, but was obscured by the rising mist in the mountains covered by the thick snow, and the sunlight penetrated the fog, which was even more strange under the haze.
The young man hurried with enough internal strength, picked up the path and walked, walked through the clouds and mist in the forest, had no intention of enjoying the hazy mountain scenery along the way, and just wanted to rush to the beacon tower, looking up, only to find that the beacon fire had long been gone.
Worried that it was covered by the clouds and mist in the mountains, the young man kept under his feet, cast the clouds vertically, jumped up in the air, and wanted to jump out of the clouds and mist in the mountains to explore the direction.
The cloud vertical came out in an instant, and this jump was several zhang high, but when the cloud vertical was exhausted, the young man was surprised to find that the fog in the mountain was a little thicker than he imagined, and under the cloud vertical, he could not break through the fog to find the direction.
When he was in the eight formations of Shimen in the mountain behind Hejiabao, the young man was also disturbed by the mist of the fairy in the fog, but the clouds and mist in the mountain at this time were not as thick as the fog of the heart, and he could not see the direction.
The mountain fog is like window paper, it is broken when touched, but it is endless, no matter how the green shirt is torn, there is still no end in sight, not only that, as the young man's cloud falls, but he finds that the surrounding place falls into silence.
It seems that everything is quiet, just like a quiet night, but at night, there will be insects and birds, the young man has already broken the machine man, and his perception is far better than before, and he is surprised to find that this place is not only terrifyingly quiet, but even the sound of living creatures cannot be detected.
Even if some mountain beasts hibernate, even other animals such as snow hares are not visible, which is too abnormal.
"It's strange, with my light skills, even if I can't get out of the mountains, I should have seen the official road outside Mo County a long time ago, how can it be as if I am still in the mountains." As the young man did another stick of incense, he still couldn't see where the official road was, so he immediately stopped and spoke to himself.
Unexpectedly, as the dispersal stopped, the young man did not feel relaxed, but a faint feeling of sluggishness came from his chest.
"Oh no, I was in a hurry, and I forgot what Miss Mo explained
。 Only then did the young man remember that before setting off from the county guard, Mo Ti had said that the back mountain of Mojun was connected to the Yanbei Mountain, and there were many poisonous miasma, and he only cared about hurrying, but he forgot such an important thing.
However, Gu Xiao didn't care, there was a little poisonous miasma, and there was no return in the mountains, so he only needed to use his skills to force the poison.
Thinking of this, the young man immediately sat cross-legged, adjusted the dantian true qi to disperse into the acupoints, resisted the poisonous miasma, and at the same time, wanted to force out the poisonous miasma as soon as possible, so as to continue on his way.
Gu Xiao hurriedly withdrew his palms to scatter his skills, secretly shocked that this poisonous miasma was so powerful, he used his own power to force the poison, but let the poison invade the meridians along his acupuncture points.
"You have to try to get out of the miasma, and then try to force the poison." The young man thought silently in his heart, and hurriedly took out the miasma avoidance medicine towel that Mo Ti gave him from his arms and tied it to his face.
Trying to get up and looking around, he found that only when he was using his own skills to force the poison, the clouds and mist in this mountain were more poisonous, and even the sunlight that would be able to penetrate the mountain fog a little was gradually dissipating, and the surrounding places gradually fell into darkness as the sunlight dissipated.
This kind of strange scenery made Gu Xiaoxing's eyes widen, although in the eight formations of Hejiabao Shimen, he had also fallen into a fog, but this kind of cloud-obscuring scenery was even more terrifying.
Regardless of the sluggishness in the chest, the dizziness in front of his eyes, the young man wanted to rush out of the poisonous miasma, the afterglow swept around, and found that the light was gradually receding, where the sunlight dissipated, not only fell into darkness, but also rose in the snow on the ground, and the mountain fog is different, this poisonous miasma is not only much thicker than the mountain fog, more colorful, at a glance you know that it contains highly poisonous.
The starry eyes were suddenly solemn, and he was busy looking down, and in the blink of an eye, the place where he was standing was about to fall into darkness, and he had no time to think, so the young man hurriedly used his internal strength to follow the place where the sun still existed.
Every time he jumped up, the boy felt a sluggish feeling in his chest, and he was a little more dignified, and his body did not slow down, and the darkness behind him seemed to be a pursuing enemy, locking the young man's body.
Looking back, the darkness that was still three or four feet away was close to him, and under the shock, the young man did not dare to slack off, endured the dizziness in his brain, and then used his internal strength to flee to the sun.
As the hours of luck passed, coupled with the repeated fierce battles in the patrol army, and the starry night, the young man suddenly felt exhausted, and glanced behind him, and the darkness and colors had swept in.
Seeing that he was about to be engulfed in darkness, the boy had to reluctantly exert his strength and leap up...
This time, the young man no longer dared to have reservations, this leap forward, more than ten feet, looking back, seeing the darkness as if he was thrown away. But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the strange scene again, the darkness seemed to be blocked by the invisible wall, and when he wanted to take a closer look, the momentum of the cloud was exhausted, and the figure fell again.
Looking back, the boy wanted to find another place to stay, but found that he was in the mouth of a valley...
Where there is no borrowing strength, the body is falling rapidly, the green shirt falls down the valley, seeing the bottom of the valley, the snow is getting closer, the young man lifts his luck, looks at the moment of falling, and his feet step on each other, and finally he slowly lowers his body in an instant when he almost lands, and stands still.
Seeing that there was no more mountain fog, and there was no colorful poisonous miasma, the young man tore off the medicine towel under his mouth, took a big breath, and the feeling of dizziness suddenly surged up, and he retreated again and again, staggering his steps, until his back touched the hard object, and then he stopped his body.
Sitting on the ground in a daze, he raised his eyes to look at his surroundings, and saw the whole picture of this place, which was under the valley, very open, without trees, and surrounded by straight rock walls.
The young man didn't expect that there was such an open and flat place in the rugged mountains and valleys in Yanbei, not to mention the previous Shimen Eight Formations, that is, there were thousands of troops and horses, entering this valley, and it was also accommodated.
Even though he was temporarily out of the danger of the colorful drug miasma, the young man was still determined to use his skills to force the poison first, and then make plans.
