On the third day, the sky was slightly bright, and Du Yunhan and Li Hu led the team out of Yongfeng Pass, and those who were injured in Qi Xueshan originally wanted them to stay in Yongfeng Pass to recuperate from their injuries, and wait for them to come back and then go together, or let Yongfeng Pass send someone to send them back.

It's just that these people are very awkward, and they all say that the injuries are not serious, but small injuries are not in the way, and they have to go together.

He told the leaders of Yongfeng Pass that within ten days, if they did not send back the soldiers, they would let the leaders send messengers to the Kyoto military camp, and the general Xiao Qian knew what to do.

Out of the Yongfeng Pass, Dui Yunhan followed the route agreed with Li Hu before, and went straight to the Devil's City with his men and horses.

This devil's city is not big or small, on one side is the border of the grassland oasis, and on the other side it is covered by yellow sand, and if you want to reach the Western Regions allies, you must cross the barren land where the yellow sand is located.

The reason why it is called Devil's Town is because there are no villagers living in the city at all, and it is because of the erosion of the yellow sand that blows in, the villagers have moved to better places to live, and the abandoned houses in the city have been covered with a thick layer of yellow sand.

Moreover, the night in the Devil's City is always much colder than the day, and the north wind blows like a knife that can cut meat, blowing through the empty house, and the roar like a ghost crying wolf sounds breathtaking.

So, no one wants to take this shortcut, let alone take it at night, but in the daytime, it's a place that is inaccessible and has a different scenery.

It only took them half a day to get to Devil City, and Twilight Cloud Han motioned for them to rest for a while, after all, they would enter no man's land after a while, and Li Hu sent a sentry guard on the top of the highest house in Devil City to observe the movement around them.

And the sentry post on duty was Jiang Dawei, he was lying on the roof of the broken tiles, squinting his eyes and looking in the direction of the Western Regions, in fact, even if there was a road, it was covered with yellow sand.

Jiang Dawei didn't know where he should look, so he always felt unreal, and the scene when he turned back was a piece of green, but in front of him was a piece of yellow sand.

He sighed a little in his heart, it's better to be in Kyoto! At the same time, he also wondered, how did the people of the Western Regions survive in this place where birds don't, and His Majesty the Emperor was too, if he had to send the second prince to this kind of place, why didn't he send the prince to this place, although he and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were in close proximity, but Jiang Dawei didn't realize that he should stand in the same team with the prince.

He lifted the sweat towel from his nose again, licked his dry lips, spat out the sand in his mouth, and continued to stare into the distance.

Suddenly, he saw a small black dot in the yellow sand, and after the little black dot slowly grew larger, it turned out to be a horse, and a person was carrying a person on the horse's back, but this person seemed to be lying on the horse's back, as if he was unconscious.

Jiang Dawei threw down a handful of sand at Dezi, who was guarding with him under the house, and said, "A horse is coming this way." ”

Dezi patted the sand off his head, and before he had time to scold Jiang Dawei, he quickly whistled at the whistle post in another place, and when the whistle reached the place where Du Yunhan and Li Hu were resting, everyone began to find a place to hide.

Jiang Dawei observed for a while, and when he was sure that no one was traveling with the horse, he immediately flew out of the room and said to Dezi: "It's just a horse, with a person on it, let's go over and have a look." ”

The two men fastened the sweat scarves on their faces, and ran towards the horse that had already entered the devil's city, with knives in hand.

The person on horseback, with a leather shoulder on his upper body and high leather boots, looked like the dress of the Western Regions, but Dezi, who was the first to hold the reins of the horse, secretly shouted: "Is it our own people?" ”

Jiang Dawei looked over, the man was covered in blood, even his face was skinned by the sun, his mouth was full of fire bubbles, it looked like he hadn't drunk water for several days, and he didn't see anything.

Jiang Dawei said strangely: "How do you know that it is your own person?" ”

Dezi took the horse and motioned to Jiang Dawei to hurry up: "Whether it is a spy from the military camp or the guard battalion, they are all masters in disguise, in order to identify their identities, there are dragon marks behind their ears, and our soldier commander Li Hu has also been a spy before, and he also has behind his ears." ”

Jiang Dawei immediately stepped forward to check the ears of the person on horseback, and sure enough, he really found the dragon pattern brand behind the ear.

This made Jiang Dawei very excited, and he said to Dezi: "You kid still knows a lot, when you go back to Kyoto, you can tell me more about these things that I don't know, so that I can have a long experience, how about it?" ”

Dezi was naturally willing to show off in front of Jiang Dawei, and he grinned and said, "If you can go back safely, what do you ask me to say, what I will say." ”

The two of them led the unconscious spy back to the place where Du Yunhan and Li Hu were resting, and everyone gathered around, hearing that Dezi said it was a spy, Li Hu immediately stepped forward to check behind the man's ear.

He said to Twilight Yunhan: "Second Highness, it's really a coincidence, it's really the person who sent it out. ”

Twilight immediately commanded, "Feed him some water." ”

In the land of yellow sand, water is the all-purpose antidote, and Dezi took the water bladder and poured it directly into the mouth of the unconscious spy.

At first, the water flowed out of the corners of the spies' mouths, and after a while, the man was woken up, and after waking up, he grabbed the water bladder and began to drink the water violently and greedily.

Jiang Dafei persuaded on the side: "Brother, you drink slowly, yes, don't you finally survive, and then drink water and choke yourself to death." ”

After he finished speaking, he was kicked by Li Hu and said, "Go to the side, can you say something auspicious." ”

Jiang Dawei looked aggrieved and stood beside Li Hu and said, "Aren't I also kind enough to wake up?" ”

The spy really put down the water bladder, he looked around, his eyes resting on Twilight Yunhan's body, and immediately prepared to kneel and salute.

Twilight Yunhan hurriedly stopped him and said, "In such a place, there is no need to be polite, tell me quickly, what is going on?" ”

This spy was sent out by Han Li, of course he knew Twilight Yunhan, he pursed his lips and tried to make a sound, although his voice was very hoarse, but after all, he could speak, he spoke: "Second Highness, after we arrived at the Western Regions Alliance, we hid near the palace of the prince of Chashu, and I did see the prince of Chashu in the palace, so I thought of sending someone back first." ”

"Do you mean that the prince is really in the Western Regions?" Li Hu asked.

The spy waved his hand, rested for a while, and then said: "I didn't finish speaking, just when we were about to send someone back, we found that the prince of the book search seemed to deliberately let us discover him, showing his identity intentionally or unintentionally, and he couldn't see his face every time. ”

Jiang Dawei couldn't help but interject on the side: "I can't see my face, how do you know that it's the prince?" ”

Li Hu glared at him and said, "Didn't you hear that people didn't finish speaking?" Go back and sentry. Jiang Dawei reluctantly signaled to Dezi, and the two of them went to climb the roof again.

The spy continued: "Second Highness, after we became suspicious, we ventured into the prince's palace in the Western Regions, and we were ambushed, and the person who deliberately revealed his identity in front of us wearing the prince's clothes just wanted us to mistakenly think that the prince was in the Western Regions. ”

"In the Western Regions Palace, only me and the other two brothers ran out, in order to prevent the pursuers from killing us all, we discussed going back to Yongfeng Pass separately to report to Your Highness, Your Highness can meet someone else who has returned?"

Li Hu raised his eyes and glanced at Du Yunhan, and then said to the spy: "If you come back, why do I and the Second Highness have to go out, it seems that those two brothers are also more than lucky." ”

After hearing this, the spy immediately became nervous, he forced himself to get up and said: "Second Highness, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, if those two brothers are intercepted, the pursuers will definitely come to the devil's city, and these barbarians from the Western Regions have flying locks in their hands, specializing in fighting horse legs, we are not familiar with the place, and we can't fight them." ”

Li Hu raised his eyes and glanced at Du Yunhan again, he was waiting for His Royal Highness Second Highness to speak, whether to leave or stay.

A chill flashed in Twilight Cloud's dark eyes, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his voice between his teeth was low but sonorous: "This king is afraid of these barbarians of the Western Regions, they have flying locks, are our bows and arrows ornamental?" ”

Li Hu and his subordinates immediately came to their senses after hearing this, these individuals were holding their stomachs and wanting to sprinkle their anger after the battle of Qi Xueshan, and now they can be regarded as able to meet an opponent to fight.

Twilight said to them, "We will wait until noon, and if there are any pursuers, let them sleep in this devil's city, and we will be willing to fight with this king." ”

"Swear allegiance to the Second Highness."

"Serve them with bows and arrows, make sure that one of them is shot down, and all the horses are moved to the empty houses on both sides of the main road into the city, and they have flying locks, and we have stumbling ropes, and we have made traps for the king, and all traces are cleaned."

"Also, check the dagger on your waist, if anyone trips over the flying lock, no one can save them, they can only save themselves, just leave one alive, and the specific tactical commander will be carefully distributed, go now."

Twilight Yunhan's fighting spirit instantly infected everyone, Jiang Dawei on the roof in the distance, listening to the passionate shouts of these people, asked the following Dezi: "Why are they all excited." ”

Dezi had already received a message from another sentry post, he climbed onto the roof, lay beside Jiang Dawei and said, "Before noon, if there are pursuers, we will kill them in this devil's city, the second highness said." ”

Jiang Dawei said angrily: "Your Royal Highness, with your breath, you still died in this devil city, cheesy!" ”

Dezi said with a smile: "I didn't hear it again, I just imagined it, but I told us, with Captain Li's arrows as an order, bows and arrows to serve them, one person and one arrow, and the dagger capital checked it, saying that they have flying locks, which can lock human legs or horse legs, and just leave a live mouth, and the rest." Speaking of this, Dezi made a gesture to wipe his neck and said, "Kill!" ”

Jiang Dawei turned his head to look at Dezi's movements, rolled his eyes and stared ahead, he said: "You are so excited, you should go down and hide our horses, if you say that someone is coming, but it will come in an instant." ”

"Yes, yes, you're right." Dezi slid down the roof of the house with the yellow sand and went to hide the horse.

In fact, Jiang Dawei's heart was also a little inexplicably excited, he didn't understand it himself, he used to only get excited when he saw a beauty or a bully, but now he is not interested in those at all.

After Qi Xueshan's joint breakthrough, Jiang Dawei felt that with these brothers, there was an indescribable sense of steadiness, which he had only experienced in his life.

Jiang Dawei reached out and touched the dagger stuck in his waist, and then took out a feather arrow from the quiver, and then touched the bow on his back.

Dezi hid the horse and came back and said: "The horse is hidden, we really need a horse to fight, you whistle and our horse can come to us." ”

Jiang Dawei snorted and said, "You fucking ramble endlessly, save some energy." ”

Dezi grinned, he now felt more and more that this Jiang Xiaohou Ye was still very good.

They are the pass of the light of the day, after some tossing, the scorching sun has begun to exert its power, the temperature is suddenly high, Twilight Yunhan They are all wearing armor, although they are all soft leather armor, but it is also hot enough.

The hottest was Jiang Dawei, who was lying in ambush on the roof, he felt that the arrow in his hand was getting hotter and hotter, and the sweat towel covering his mouth and nose was almost on his face.

Jiang Dawei only then knew why the spon's face was sunburned like that dead just now, thinking that his little white face was almost the same as the spout's face, Jiang Dawei smiled bitterly, how can he be a groom this time? But it's okay, it just forms a perfect match with Zhao Qiyue's matchmaker's face.
