Chapter Twenty-Five: Striking the West
The two of them stepped on the ground in the mountains and forests.
The woods are secluded, the sunlight is sprinkled among the branches, and some shadows of the trees are reflected on the ground, and the birds and birds in the forest echo, and the crisp sound is repeated, but there is no human figure.
Gu Rin tightened the armor on his arm, raised his phoenix eyes and glanced at Pei Yungui, who was a meter away from him, and raised his sword eyebrows slightly.
"Come in, what are you doing so far away from me? Didn't you still complain to me some time ago, saying that you have been happy for a long time, why are you so rusty now? Could it be that you want to play with lust and indulgence? ”
Pei Yungui reluctantly moved a few steps forward, scolding in his heart, but still with a warm smile on the surface.
"It's the general's extraordinary bearing, heroic and outstanding, and the little girl is afraid and doesn't dare to approach."
"Really?" Gu Rin said leisurely: "I think Miss Pei is brave and strategic, and she should not be underestimated." Seeing through the disguise and meticulous work, blocking the arrows in the tent, all kinds of behaviors are not something that an ordinary woman can do. ”
His words paused slightly, his slender fingers flexibly tied the armor, gave Pei Yungui an inquiring look, and continued: "It is not in line with the style of a person who keeps saying that he wants to live." ”
Pei Yungui paused and raised his head.
"What about the general." She didn't avoid Gu Rin's scrutiny, and asked directly: "Why did the general come out with Yungui to find the gunpowder, and didn't ask where the thing was, and didn't ask Yungui the purpose of his trip, isn't he afraid of being cheated?" ”
Gu Rin laughed indifferently, and a flash flashed in his eyes (the words hadn't been thought of yet)
"If you are deceived, I don't mind pulling a cushion, Gu wants your life, it's easy. But that's fine, go to Yellow Springs, we can be each other's company. ”
Pei Yungui tugged at the corners of his mouth, showed a smile, and then increased his steps, surpassing Gu Rin, leaving only a series of resolute voices behind him.
"Unless I die of natural old age, I will never go to any Yellow Springs." She turned her head and glanced at Gu Rin deeply, her black eyes were as bright as stars, as if telling the vitality of her lord, "Even if the king of Hades wants me to die, the bull head and horse face are tied to a rope and want to press me into hell, and the flower on the other side of the nose blooms at my doorstep, Yungui will desperately climb up from below, crawl back to the world, and continue to live my life." ”
The girl's soft and glutinous voice floated clearly in the forest word by word, with tenacity that could not be ignored.
- Live, even if you live as a slave and a slave, you have to live!
An unfamiliar voice faintly appeared in her head, as if she was muttering to herself, and it seemed to be a warning next to her ear.
It's a bit noisy.
Pei Yungui blinked and forcibly drove the voice out of his skull.
It's the same voice again, for the second time......
I don't know if it's overwork, that's why I hallucinate.
Looks like we'll have to find a doctor sometime.
Pei Yungui thought silently.
Gu Rin paused slightly, unconsciously attracted by the light in Pei Yungui's eyes.
After a while, he came back to his senses and smiled lightly.
It's a tough heart, but it's a pity that he hasn't been tortured by the world.
When the torture of the world falls, her hard bones will gradually break and turn into powder, leaving only a wisp of bad soul to wander away from the world.
Isn't that what I was like at the beginning?
He restrained the look in his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes returned to his original nonchalance.
After walking for a while, there was no shadow of a single person in the huge mountains and forests.
Pei Yungui frowned, and his beautiful eyes gradually became worried.
If you can't find gunpowder, you have to go back, and I'm afraid the saint won't be able to wait so long.
The system has not yet issued a task reminder, which proves that the saint is still persistent.
"Wait, stop."
There was a sudden low sigh from behind him.
Pei Yungui stopped in response, looked back, and looked puzzled.
Gu Rin stretched out his slender finger and pointed to a bush.
Pei Yungui looked at his fingertips.
I saw a white halo floating on the new green.
Pei Yungui squinted her eyes again and looked carefully, and after a while, she looked up at Gu Rin, her eyes were slightly dark.
"Is it the reflection of the armor?"
Gu Rin nodded.
He leaned his hand on the side of his lips and made a "shhhh
"They should be the ones who guard the gunpowder in the group of rebels."
Pei Yungui guessed.
Gu Rin hooked his lips and sneered, "Gunpowder is a forbidden substance, monopolized by the royal family, and it is only for military use, and if it is discovered by the government, it is a capital crime." The things that these people guard every day are all hot potatoes, and they must be cautious, and there must be more than they think. ”
"What is the general's method?"
Pei Yungui asked.
Since Gu Rin insisted on following her out, he should already have a way to deal with it in his heart.
Gu Rin glanced at Pei Yungui, and a bit of bad flashed in his eyes.
"The wind is blowing." He glanced at the grass and trees that were suddenly slanted by the wind, and said categorically: "It's the northeast wind." ”
Pei Yungui: ?
So?
Seeing the doubts in Pei Yungui's eyes, Gu Rin snorted in disgust and explained, "You should have heard of the plan to transfer the tiger from the mountain." ”
Pei Yungui nodded.
She still knows this.
"This group has been stationed here for half a day on the march, do you think they have anything like dry rations?"
Pei Yungui replied: "There must be." ”
Gu Rin bent his eyes, with a bit of pleasure on his face.
"These party members were able to hide my eyes and sneak into the back mountain of the racecourse, it is estimated that they did not arrive today, they were obviously stationed here in advance, not to mention that they also carried heavy firearms, they will only come earlier."
Pei Yungui suddenly understood, and immediately answered: "Since they are stationed here, they have camps, tents and dry food for hunger, if they find those things, put a fire, and with the wind, this fire will burn more and more." At that time, they will all run to put out the fire, and no one will be able to take care of the gunpowder. ”
Gu Rin chuckled.
"I didn't expect Miss Pei's methods to be so ruthless, I really can't see it."
"Is it right or wrong that the general only said that Yun Gui said?"
Pei Yungui frowned.
"Yes, it coincides with my thoughts."
Gu Rin gave an affirmative answer with difficulty.
Pei Yungui poked his head out, his eyes swept over the mountains and forests that seemed to be still silent and uninhabited, and a trace of doubt climbed into his heart.
"How did the general determine that their camp was in the southwest?"
The current northeast wind is blowing to the southwest.
"The horse farm opens from the north to the capital, and is surrounded by mountains to the east, south, and west, and if I were the leader of the group, I would have the soldiers surround the horse farm in a circle along the mountain line, and the camp would be set up in the rear, that is, to the south."
It doesn't matter if he's southwest or southeast.
As long as there is a tent for them, it will leave them in trouble.
Gu Rin narrowed his phoenix eyes, and the interest in his eyes grew stronger, and he was about to overshadow his eyes.
In early spring, when the wind is stormy, coupled with the already dry weather in the capital, it only takes a little spark to ignite a raging fire.
Gu Rin and Pei Yungui picked up some dry firewood from the ground, and he used the method of drilling wood to make fire, and set fire to a dead wood.
The two of them touched the southwest side, and did not go far, and sure enough, in the deep greenery, they saw a number of tents standing.
This was the base camp of the rebels at that time.
As soon as Gu Rin's long arms stretched out, the dead wood that had already been burned all crossed an arc from mid-air and fell into the tent.
At first, there were only a few small clusters of flames, but when the northeast wind blew, the flames grew bigger and bigger, and all the green plants were swept in, and it was not long before they were as high as half a tent.
Pei Yungui couldn't help but smile narrowly, then raised his head and looked at Gu Rin, and asked, "This time it should be foolproof, can we go?" ”
Gu Rin nodded.
"Let's go back."
-----------------------------
At a glance, there were 100 soldiers on duty in the mountains.
Dressed in sharp armor, they were scattered and hidden in the jungle, surrounded by heavy firearms, all covered with mud and grass.
The leader of the soldiers on duty stared at the horse farm descending the mountain for a moment, and his falcon-like eyes were sharp, as if he were patrolling the territory.
After a while, his nose moved slightly, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he poked the soldier next to him and asked, "Do you smell anything?" ”
The person next to him also moved his nose and sniffed carefully for a while.
"It's really, it looks like it's coming from behind, and it smells like burnt."
The leader turned his head sharply, and saw a lot of smoke rising over the camp where they were stationed, billowing ink, like a giant mushroom cloud, gathering more and more in the sky above.
His face immediately changed dramatically.
"The camp is out of water!"
The face of the penny soldier turned dark.
"What to do, there are so many firearms here."
The leader pondered for a moment, then swung his halberd, slashed an arc through the air, and cut down a few grasses.
He commanded quickly, his face so black that he could drip ink.
"Send three people to fight the fire everywhere, and the remaining two stay behind, there are important things in the camp, and all of them must be rescued for me." The leader of the soldiers spat and scolded, "Damn, the fire is so fast, there are obviously people playing ghosts, let the brothers pay attention to the surroundings, as long as they see a living person, they will be taken down by Lao Tzu." ”
"Yes!"
In a few moments, soldiers came out of the grass in twos and threes, all the way to the southwest.
Pei Yungui looked at one eye, and when everyone ran away, he turned around and said, "It's all out." ”
Gu Rinfeng's eyes narrowed, and her white jade-like fingertips rubbed her chin.
"More than that." The long figure was lazily leaning against the tree, with three points of plainness and seven points of nonchalance on his face for a long time.
"There are still fewer people coming out. It seems that their leader is not a fool, and knows that there must be deception in the sudden fire, and it is estimated that there are still one or two people left in each place. ”
"It seems that the general has the confidence to deal with the rest of the people." Pei Yungui raised his eyes and looked.
Gu Rin pulled out the matching sword at his waist, the blade was sharp, the cold light was frivolous, and it exuded an extraordinarily cold air.
The sword accessories played by different people in Beijing, this sword is really on the battlefield, has made military achievements, drank blood, and eaten flesh.
Moving forward for a while, it plunged into the chest of a court official, and then pushed back, it was put on Pei Yungui's neck several times.
Pei Yungui's eyes darkened, and he quietly took a step back.
Those few times are really not good memories.
****
"Yungui still has a problem."
Pei Yungui spoke, his voice soft and soft.
Gu Rin glanced at her and motioned for her to continue.
"Why did the general come with you, you can sit in the tent and be alone, why do you follow me to wade through this troubled water?"
Gu Rin laughed and said in a low voice, "Didn't the girl say that she was happy with me?" Seeing that the person who loves him will be imprisoned, Gu couldn't bear it. ”
Pei Yungui's face was blank for a moment, and then he stopped talking.
Is this self-inflicted iniquity, and not to live?
