Chapter 584: Snow on the Mountain Road Encounters People
In ancient wars, the transmission of messages was inconvenient, and the pick-up and drop-off messages of all parties were different.
Li Jingjun only received the military information of the night attack on Fuling City, but he didn't know that a battle like divine punishment occurred outside Fuling City not long after.
Even the people in Fuling City only heard a shaking of the mountains and violent explosions that day, and it was not clear what had happened.
But when the people of Fuling City discovered the remnants of the battlefield, all that was left to the world was a sea of fire and countless stumps and broken arms.
Folklore has it that this was a divine punishment, and only a handful of people saw some pitch-black meteorites fall from the sky, followed by violent explosions.
The people who were deeply persecuted by the Holy Lotus Sect were speculating that perhaps the Holy Lotus Sect had angered the heavens, so they sent down divine punishment to destroy the Holy Lotus Sect's army.
In the following ten days, the people of Fuling City held several rituals to worship the heavens to appease the gods.
As soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect who had experienced it firsthand, this was perhaps the most helpless battle they had ever experienced in their lives.
Memories are always like a nightmare, and they can never be forgotten.
The team of 5,000 people died and scattered in just a few minutes, and there were less than 2,000 people in Ba County who finally returned.
Afterwards, the high-ranking members of the Holy Lotus Sect were furious and wanted Yuwen Ji to give a reasonable explanation.
Who in the world can explain such a thing?
Yuwen and vaguely felt that this was an attack by the enemy, but how could this be convincing?
No one found out what the enemy had done, so naturally it was not an attack launched by the enemy.
In the barracks, there are more folk sayings, and some people believe that the essence of the matter is divine punishment.
And the reason why God sent down divine punishment shows that Heaven's will is not on the side of the Holy Lotus Sect.
Even Bai Song himself didn't expect that an artillery bombardment led by himself would actually break the belief in the Holy Lotus Sect army by mistake, and even make those brainwashed soldiers feel a little shaken in their hearts
The defeat of a battle is acceptable to the Holy Lotus Sect, but if the morale of the army is shaken, this is the result that no one can accept.
This year's Shu rain and snow continued, the mountains are extremely difficult to walk, and even on the road from Chengdu to Ba County, there are many places with small-scale snow.
At the entrance to an unnamed hill is a small tea stall that no one cares about.
Twelve horses were parked outside the tea stall, each dragging a huge stone pier wrapped in black cloth.
It is rare to have more than a dozen guests in the tea stall, each drinking tea, and there is no superfluous conversation.
The snow at the pass is very deep, and the road into the mountain is difficult for pedestrians to pass, not to mention that these dozen or so horses are dragging heavy loads.
Drinking tea is almost enough, and resting is enough, Bai Song put down the tea bowl and said to Jian Thirteen and Long Dengshan at the same table: "The dog meat in the store still has to be burned for a while, let's clear the snow in front of the mountain first, so as not to delay the time." ”
Jian Thirteen and Long Dengshan nodded and got up to go out.
Bai Song also got up, and Xu Ruan'er was a little puzzled when she saw it: "You want to go too?" ”
"Of course?"
"The snow in front of the mountain, as long as they use their true qi, they can clear it in an instant."
Bai Song lowered his voice and shook his head: "We have penetrated deep into the enemy's hinterland, and there is the eyeliner of the Holy Lotus Sect somewhere, don't forget our identity." ”
"Then I'll help."
As she spoke, Xu Ruan'er got up and rolled up her sleeves.
"How can a folk girl be like you?"
Hearing this, Xu Ruan'er's face turned red, and she was a little at a loss for a while.
She can't learn the posture of a private girl, but their current identity is a rich family who has returned to the hinterland of Shuzhong from Fuling City to take refuge.
And Xu Ruan'er needs to play the role of the lady of the family.
Bai Song's words obviously meant that she didn't look like a girl, and she was sour and a little ashamed when she heard it, and seeing Bai Song leave, she asked Xiao Wu on the side a little depressed: "Xiao Wu, what do the ladies look like?" ”
Xiao Wu held the sugar water, a little drowsy, and blinked his flawless eyes after hearing it: "Sister, what is everyone's girlfriend?" ”
Xu Ruan'er sighed faintly, and looked left and right at the people accompanying her, although these people are all masters drawn from various major factions, but they are all from the Bai family, how do they know what everyone's girlfriends are?
Bai Song still likes to do many things himself, borrowed a shovel from the shop, and went to the mountain pass to shovel snow with Jian Thirteen and Long Mountaineer.
The war in Shuzhong, the people are panicked, few people will go out, Bai Song is the only group of guests in the tea stall in the last ten days.
I thought that no one would come again, but when Bai Song was shoveling snow, a carriage slowly came from the mountain blocked by snow.
Like Bai Song, the carriage was blocked in the middle of the road, and the coachman turned around and whispered to the people inside: "Shizi, the snow ahead is blocking the road, and it will take a while to clear it." ”
"Got it." The voice of a young man came from inside.
Then the carriage stopped, and the driver got out of the carriage and picked up a few branches, slowly walked to the snow on the road and began to clear it.
The two parties were only a dozen meters apart, and when the carriage appeared, Bai Song had already noticed it.
Although he hasn't seen anyone all the way, it doesn't mean that it's strange to see someone, and Bai Song didn't care.
Until Jian Thirteen whispered to Bai Song: "That coachman's kung fu is not weak. ”
"Huh?" Bai Song sighed lightly, stopped and looked at the other party.
Jian Thirteen added: "Look at him sweeping the snow, he has only a few branches in his hands, but the speed of clearing is surprisingly fast. ”
Bai Song also noticed this question and responded in a low voice: "Then we should be slower and don't show it." At this time, those who dare to appear in this wilderness will definitely not be ordinary people. ”
At the same time, more than ten meters away, the snow-clearing driver was also whispering to the car: "Shizi, there is someone in front." ”
"What about someone?"
"Appearing in this wilderness at this time, I'm afraid it won't be an ordinary person."
After the coachman finished speaking, the young man in the carriage suddenly lifted the curtain, and then stepped out of the carriage and stretched comfortably.
This person is the same age as Bai Song, and he has a handsome face that is quite handsome with Bai Song, with good facial features and suitable matching, which is easy to give people a sense of intimacy.
Wearing a slightly heavy cotton wool coat, it can be seen that the fabric is very good, and it must not be an ordinary family.
"Shizi, it's better for you to go back to the car."
The other party didn't care, stepped forward, stood beside the coachman, and shouted from a distance of more than ten meters: "Hey, who are you?" What are you doing on the mountain trail at this time? ”
Bai Song didn't care, and silently cleared the snow.
Long Dengshan responded impatiently: "What's the matter with you?" ”
"Don't get me wrong, I'm a scholar in Shuzhong, I like to make friends, I see that the son in front of me is dressed luxuriously and has a handsome face, and I think it's not an ordinary family. The so-called encounter is fate, I didn't see pedestrians all the way, but I saw a group of people, so I took the liberty to disturb two sentences. ”
