Chapter 8 Outside the North Mountain Road, an arrow from the south
"Even if it's finding someone to pick you up, the choice of location is important, and if I had to decide, I'd rather put the pick-up location on a certain avenue than on Pinecone. ”
Ning Que looked at the eye-catching ink dots just marked on the hand-drawn map, and said, "They chose to go from the North Mountain Road, but they didn't want to think that although it was a single road, the seven-mile-long road was full of dense forests on both sides, and it was very easy to set up an ambush. ”
After saying this, he was silent for a moment, put the hand-drawn map into his clothes, shook his head and laughed at himself, and said: "It seems that the so-called guides, in addition to bringing them into the North Mountain Road, are more just trying to confuse the enemy. That idiot princess didn't believe General Ma at all, and naturally she wouldn't believe me. ”
"An idiot with a bunch of idiots. Thinking of the ambush that he might encounter in the North Mountain Road, and thinking of the receiving troops that there were or didn't, his mood became more and more heavy and lost, and he lowered his voice and said fiercely: "I've been on the grassland for nearly a year, and I haven't been able to become smarter, I really don't know where her good name comes from." ”
With a bang, Ning Que took out the three knives that still had rust marks in the sheath, unscrewed the water bladder and poured the grinding stone, and began to sharpen the blade silently.
"If you are separated from them when you enter the North Mountain Road, what do you want to ask the old gentleman for?" asked Sang Sang with some confusion.
"The most important thing is to be alive. Ning Que lowered his head and sharpened his knife, his movements were slow and powerful, "As long as we can reach Chang'an alive, there will always be a chance to learn those things, if the two of us put our lives in the hands of this group of idiots, there will be no possibility." ”
......
......
The farther south the climate, the warmer the climate, it stands to reason that the scenery outside the car window should be more vivid and green, but because the team entered the vast Minshan Mountain, the grass around the team gradually faded, and became a tall tree that greeted each other.
As the temperature between heaven and earth dropped slightly, a tense and depressing atmosphere also enveloped the entire convoy, and everyone knew that the big man in Chang'an City who dared to murder Her Royal Highness the Princess, if he wanted to prevent Her Royal Highness the Princess from returning to the capital safely, then Minshan between the border and the state and county was his last chance.
In the tense vigilance and search, the convoy walked for several days, and finally arrived at the periphery of the Beishan Pass, looking at the dense forest that covered the sky and the sun, most of the people in the team did not show a worried look like Ning Que, but seemed to be much more relaxed.
The handsome maid had much less time to talk to Sangsang these days, and most of the time she was left in the second carriage, and when she got off the carriage that evening, she had a faint smile on her face.
When she decided to leave the grassland, she had already sent an envoy into the empire in advance, and although she could not reach Chang'an in a short time for the imperial court to send a large army to respond, the envoy had enough time to contact her loyal subordinates.
After receiving an urgent receipt from Gushan County ten days ago, she decided to go straight to Kitasan Road without hesitation, because she believed that the young commander Hua Shanyue of Gushan County should have led his pro-military camp to the southern exit of Kitasan Road.
It's only been a year since she left Datang, and she firmly believes that those subordinates who are loyal to her are still loyal to her, even if some people are bought by the woman in the palace, Hua Shanyue will definitely not be bought, because ...... His gaze towards himself was always so gentle.
When there were still more than 30 miles away from the agreed place of pick-up, the convoy began to camp and rest in the twilight, and walked through the dense forest in the middle of the night, no matter from which angle it was seen, it was a very risky behavior, and even a guard built her, and the team simply waited outside the Beishan Road Pass, waiting for the troops of Huashanyue to come to meet them.
She was still thinking about this mentions, but no matter how she looked at it, she and Xiaoman were now very safe, so the smile resurfaced on her delicate cheeks, and the songs and laughter that had been suppressed for days returned to the camp.
In the twilight, a rudimentary tent was set up alone on the periphery of the circular carriage, and the chief of the princess's guard questioned it, but the owner of the tent insisted that he would not move into the circle of five carriages and chests.
"Don't stay away from their cars, how can you run in case of an accident. ”
Ning Que explained with a slight mockery. He tied the big black umbrella with a straw rope and let Sangsang carry it, and then tied the knot of the straw rope into a very beautiful little flower.
Sang Sang raised his head, looked at his pale blue jaw that had just come out of his stubble, and asked, "We escaped, what should they do?"
Ning Que was checking whether the bow tendons were damp, and after hearing this question, he turned his head, quietly looked at the little maid's dark face, and said seriously after being silent for a long time: "You may have forgotten what happened when you were a child, but I haven't forgotten." ”
"You are what I dug out of the pile of dead people, and I survived as a child, and I have experienced tragic things that ordinary people cannot even imagine. ”
"Sangsang, you always have to remember this, we are very hard, very hard...... Even fought for this life to be able to continue to live in this world. Since we have worked so hard to survive, then we can't die lightly. ”
After saying this, Ning Que didn't explain too much, inserted the sharpened Pu knife back into the sheath, and then tied it a few times with a straw rope, tried that the distance between the sheaths was just right, and then took it behind him.
Sang Sang didn't ask anything more, and began to pack her luggage silently, testing the straightness of each feather arrow with her little hands, she knew that the moment when night fell, it was the moment when she and Ning Que went to the vast Minshan Mountain together. She was not afraid, because when she was a child, she was on Ning Que's back, and she had traveled through such dark night mountains and forests countless times.
At this moment, Ning Que's hand holding the scabbard stiffened slightly.
The curtain of the humble tent was lifted by a hand, and the maidservant girl walked in, and the smile on her delicate face suddenly turned into a cold.
She was about to come to chat with Sangsang, but she didn't expect to see the scene of the master and servant packing their luggage, and she guessed that they wanted to leave.
"What do you want to do. She stared at Ning Que's face indifferently and said, "At this moment, it's hard not to be suspicious of your actions. ”
Ning Que laughed after being silent for a moment, ready to explain a few words, suddenly his ears trembled slightly, the dimples on his cheeks disappeared, and they turned into a solemnity that he had not seen all the way, and quickly put the three knives behind him, and walked out of the tent with the servant girl extremely rude.
The camp is outside the North Mountain Pass, without the shelter of dense forests, bathed in the last twilight, and it is extremely comfortable, but at the moment it seems to be dyed with a layer of blood red.
There was a wind walking through the forest that had just woken up in the spring, whistling and whispering, as if there was a ghost crying, Ning Que frowned and looked at the depths of the dense forest, listening carefully to the details in those whining, and suddenly roared loudly: "Enemy attack!"
The murmur in the whispering of the forest wind finally revealed the truth, and a feathered arrow struck from the forest like lightning, whining and screaming, shooting towards the luxurious carriage in the chariot array!
