Chapter 148: Qi Xueshan is in distress
Usually whether it is a caravan, a common person or an army, they will rest at the foot of the mountain for a night before arriving at Qi Xue Mountain, because everyone knows that the weather in Qi Xue Mountain is changeable, maybe when you enter the mountain, the sky is clear, and then in the blink of an eye, it will be cloudy.
Moreover, the mountain trails are staggered, and if you are not careful, you will get lost, and even the nearby villagers who often go into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs do not dare to guarantee that they will be able to come back safely every time they enter the mountains.
When Du Yunhan and the others arrived at Qi Xue Mountain, it was already close to dusk, and the light of day had not yet dissipated, Li Hu asked, "Second Highness, do we really want to go in now?" ”
Twilight Yunhan looked up at the sky that was still slightly bright and said: "This Qi Xue Mountain, this king and Han guards have been here before, and we also passed the mountain overnight last time, I hope that today can also be as this king wishes, I can go down, release the dark whistle, and check all the fire letters on my body, if there is a situation, the torch is extinguished, and the one who flashes the fire letter three times in a row is my own person, understand?" ”
"My subordinates understand."
Li Hu immediately sent the secret sentinel down, and he rode his horse to Jiang Dawei and said, "You and Dezi follow the Second Highness, and I will go to the back, be smart, you know?" ”
Jiang Dawei and Dezi glanced at each other, and Dezi said: "Rest assured, the commander of the soldiers, we are here in His Highness, and our dead Highness is still there." ”
"Fart, you can't die either! Who of you is dead to protect Your Highness? Li Hu scolded.
Jiang Dawei hurriedly explained for Dezi: "Commander, he is a mallet who can't speak, just rely on us, we will be able to protect His Royal Highness from the mountain safely, you can take a look!" ”
"It's pretty much it, let's go!" After Li Hu finished speaking, he tightened the reins of the horse and went towards the team behind.
Jiang Dawei glared at Dezi and said: "You really can't speak, you can't say something nice, I don't know if it's dangerous, let's say I'm dead, bah, bah, it's unlucky, you hurry up and get out." ”
Dezi also followed Jiang Dawei's example, and snorted three times on the ground, and he said embarrassedly: "Didn't I show my loyalty just now, and I was a little too much." ”
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go!" Jiang Dawei urged.
They soon arrived behind Du Yunhan, and Jiang Dawei said: "Second Highness, the team is all together, the commanders have also checked, and the secret sentry has also been released." ”
Du Yunhan didn't need to look back, he knew it was Jiang Dawei when he heard the voice, and he smiled at the corner of his mouth: "This king really didn't expect that one day he would go on an expedition with you, and you are ready?" ”
Jiang Dawei just knew that Du Yunhan was referring to the danger he might encounter, he touched the saber on his waist, and tightened the bow and arrow on his back and said: "My subordinates didn't expect that one day I could become the guard of the Second Highness, so I, Jiang Dawei, will accompany His Highness to see if anyone comes." ”
A hint of approval appeared on Twilight Yunhan's face, and he waved his hand forward and said, "Enter the mountain." ”
A loud whistle came from Jiang Dawei's mouth, and he also waved his hand forward with great might, and suddenly felt some pride in his heart.
He didn't expect that the whistle that he used to blow only when he saw a beautiful girl would come in handy at this time, and make himself look so vigorous and no longer obscene.
Twilight Yunhan and Jiang Dawei and their team took advantage of the twilight of the sky to enter Qi Snow Mountain.
If there is no accident, they can go out in about an hour and a half, and Dezi walks in the front, and when they first enter the mountain, they can still see the road in the mountain, but after about half an hour, the mountain is getting darker and darker, and gradually all around them begin to become a black patch, and the first cluster of fire is Dezi who lit the torch.
In turn, the others also lit the torches they carried with them, and Jiang Dawei reminded Duyun Han: "Second Highness, if the torch is lit, we will undoubtedly become like a target, you can be careful." ”
Twilight looked around vigilantly and said, "I wish I was overthinking. ”
They walked about half the way, but they were fine, and at night in Qi Snow Mountain, there were snowflakes at this moment.
Jiang Dawei felt a cold face, he raised the torch, reached out to catch the snowflakes that fell on the palm of his hand, and muttered: "What the hell is this place, it's not winter yet?" ”
"Stop." Dezi at the front shouted, and Jiang Dawei immediately passed the same words to the back of the group.
Seeing that the torch that Dezi was holding had already turned around on his horse, he reported to Duyun Hanyu: "Second Highness, the road ahead is blocked, and it is full of gravel and fallen trees, I will take a few people to move it." ”
Twilight Yunhan frowned and thought, at this time, there were no five fingers in the mountain, and it was snowing again, it was impossible to make a detour, he ordered Dezi: "Then hurry up, be fast, and be vigilant." ”
Immediately after that, he ordered: "Jiang Dawei quickly give a reminder to the secret whistle, let them pay more attention, and report the situation quickly."
Jiang Dawei immediately took out the bamboo flute hanging around his neck, and blew two long and one short, and then the message came back from the back of the team, and the commander ordered everyone to show their weapons and wait for the battle.
Jiang Dawei was also nervous in his heart, to be honest, he had never seen this kind of scene, he rubbed the sweat in the palm of his hand, clenched the unsheathed saber, and stepped forward to block Du Yunhan's side.
While they were waiting, Jiang Dawei asked, "Second Highness, if Nangong Ying is really released by Xie An, can he really come here?" ”
Twilight stared at the dark forest around her and whispered, "Maybe! He will only do two things if he does not die, one is to want the life of this king, and the other is to want Qiao'er's life, do you choose us to be safe today, or Qiao'er is safe? ”
Jiang Dawei swallowed his saliva and said, "Then let's find us!" ”
The corners of Twilight's mouth raised slightly, but she just admonished, "Don't speak." But just as he finished speaking, he heard a miserable scream from the team of Dezi in front of him.
"Whoosh, whoosh."
"Whoosh...!"
In an instant, feathered arrows shot at them from the dark place, and four of them had already pierced Ling Fei's snowflakes and cold wind, opening their bows left and right at the same time towards Dusk Yunhan and Jiang Dawei.
Only one of these arrows was aimed at Jiang Dawei's mount, and the rest were all towards Twilight Yunhan.
Jiang Dawei lifted the knife and shot the feather arrow at the horse's neck, but he didn't have time to think about anything else. As soon as he had gone out with his knife and shot another arrow at Twilight, his horse was also frightened, and immediately raised its front hooves and neighed.
Jiang Dawei, who did not grasp the reins of the horse, was immediately overturned to the ground, and he rolled on the spot and took off his bow and arrows, and heard Twilight Yunhan shout loudly: "Extinguish all the torches." ”
Jiang Dawei quickly took out the bamboo flute and blew three long and one short, intending to tell the dark whistles that they had been attacked.
In the dark, Jiang Dawei whistled at Dezi, and after a while, he saw Dezi's fire letter flash three times and whistled back to him.
Jiang Dawei groped in front of Du Yunhan's horse and said, "Second Highness, we still have to wait a little longer, when Dezi whistles twice and lights up the torch, you can leave quickly." ”
Twilight smiled coldly, "What's the point of this king going by himself, besides, it's for you to protect this king, not to protect this king for your entire army." ”
"Someone!"
Jiang Dawei's eyes were suddenly shaken by the cold light, he immediately lit the torch, and immediately saw five or six masked assassins with swords coming around.
Before he could shout, Li Hu, who had groped forward, had already rushed to Du Yunhan's side with someone by the light of Jiang Dawei's torch, and Jiang Dawei heard the same screams in the dense forest, but he couldn't tell which group of people were screaming.
Before the masked assassins could kill him, Li Hu, who had itchy hands, had already shouted: "Those who dare to touch Lao Tzu, brothers, none of them are allowed to leave me behind." ”
It was too late for Twilight Yunhan to stop it, and the vicious Li Hu and his people had already besieged those assassins, and Jiang Dawei felt that he didn't even have a moment of time, and these short-lived assassins were all killed.
The dark whistle released by Li Hu had also come out of the forest at this time, and after everyone re-lit the torches, Twilight Yunhan asked the dark whistle, "You have solved everything in the forest?" ”
One of the secret whistles replied: "Second Highness, it has been resolved, a total of eight people." ”
Twilight asked loudly again, "Do we have any casualties?" ”
Li Huce immediately stepped forward and said: "Only one is injured, it's okay, Second Highness, these few have all been cleaned up, don't worry!" ”
Twilight Yunhan glared at him and said helplessly, "Captain Li, you don't want to stay alive?" ”
Li Hu was a little stunned, he really forgot about the matter of keeping alive just now, Jiang Dawei took his bow and arrow, found his knife, walked over with a torch, and took off all the masked scarves on the faces of the dead assassins, as expected, everyone knew it, but in the last one he hesitated, he went back to confirm it, and then turned around to find his horse.
Dezi in front also lit his torches and shouted loudly: "Commander, I have injured two people on my side, and one horse, and the road has been opened." ”
Twilight Yunhan spoke: "That's it, look at the skills of this group of people, they can't be the people this king expected, let's go!" Cross the mountain as soon as possible. ”
Strange enough, after the danger passed, the snow stopped, and Twilight Yunhan looked around and asked, "What about Jiang Dawei?" ”
Li Hu immediately told and shouted: "Jiang Dawei." ”
"I'm here." Jiang Dawei's horse didn't run far, and before he got on the horse, he heard Li Hu shouting at him, but just as he turned over on his horse and raised the torch, a man with a mask suddenly appeared in the forest opposite him, looking at him with a tiger's eye.
Jiang Dawei was taken aback, and thought in his heart: "Could it be Nangong Ying?" When he tried to confirm it again, it was gone.
Jiang Dawei hesitated for a moment, turned the horse's head and returned to the team, and he said to Li Hu: "Commander, I'm going to look for the horse, let's go out as soon as possible!" Panic. ”
Li Hu scolded: "Cowardice! ”
When they got out of Qi Snow Mountain safely and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Dawei couldn't be happy.
After the thrill just now, Li Hu also knew that this trip was not so simple, Li Hu asked Du Yunhan for advice, and they didn't suffer many casualties, so he immediately ordered everyone to go to Yongfeng Pass as quickly as possible.
They were faster than expected, and they had already arrived when the rooster crowed, and after entering the Yongfeng Pass, everyone's nerves relaxed slightly, and they suddenly felt hungry and tired.
The garrison commander of Yongfeng Pass had already been instructed to immediately order the cook to serve them wine and food, Li Hu and them did not dare to drink, and they all began to gobble up, even the few injured people decided to eat first and then treat their injuries.
Jiang Dawei is no exception, but he feels that none of the three treasures and seafood he has eaten before can be compared with today's food.
While eating, Dezi walked over with a chicken leg in one hand and said, "Hey, Your Royal Highness will let you go to him after eating in a while." ”
Jiang Dawei chuckled in his heart: "Didn't say anything?" ”
Dezi took a bite of the chicken thigh meat and said, "I'm just a messenger, the commander told me, you can go as soon as you finish eating!" ”
Jiang Dawei felt that the beef in his mouth was not fragrant for a moment, he just saw the masked man, but it was not necessarily Nangong Ying, he didn't report it for the sake of the safety of His Royal Highness and the brothers.
Jiang Dawei got up, stabilized his mind, and walked towards the room where Twilight Yunhan was resting.
