After working hard to transport the three big guys from Fuling to the gate of Chengdu, Bai Song was unwilling to be blocked by a small river.

Bai Song looked very anxious and found Jian Thirteen: "The heads of the various sects with their respective disciples should have arrived near Chengdu, you have to go and contact them together, we will escort the Shenwu cannon across the river together, and when we walk to the wooden bridge, we will work together to hold up the Shenwu cannon, and the internal force used by each of them will be used as a support, and the force borne by the wooden bridge will be reduced a lot, so that it should be able to pass smoothly." ”

"The original plan was to use artillery fire as a signal, and the rest of the people hid around Chengdu, and when they saw the artillery fire, they attacked the barracks on all sides to disrupt the rear of the enemy army."

"The plan was right, but I didn't expect it to be a river blocking the way."

"It's just a small river, we can take a detour, and we can cross it in another three or five days."

Bai Song shook his head: "It's too late, we don't have three or five days." ”

"Why? So many days have passed, why can't you wait for these last few days? ”

Jian Thirteen observed slightly, and clearly felt the urgency that Bai Song Duo had shown in recent days.

Bai Song frowned, and pointed to the snow around the mountains and forests: "You see, snow has begun to appear even on such a low half-mountain now. In another three or five days, snow will slowly accumulate on the official road. When the time comes, the road will be closed by heavy snow, and there will be no more fights between the imperial court and the Holy Lotus Sect, and it will not be able to fight this year. At that time, both armies will have to spend the winter, and the Tang army will inevitably retreat, and wait until the beginning of spring next year, not only will two months have passed, but the battle situation will not know what changes will occur. Don't forget about our time. ”

After hearing this, Jian Thirteen also had a little more melancholy, looked up at the sky, and said leisurely: "Yes, quelling the war is just the first step to exterminate the Holy Lotus Sect, if too much time is wasted on this step, the half-year period will be gone in an instant." ”

Bai Song said in a deep voice: "If my expectations are correct, in the last day or two, the imperial court will go all out to attack Chengdu. We must set up the Shenwu cannon before this decisive battle begins, and when the decisive battle begins, we will suddenly fire from the side of Chengdu with the Shenwu cannon, and then the Holy Lotus Sect will inevitably be defeated. I am very sure that the rebellion in Shuzhong will be quelled in this battle, so no matter what, we must transport the Shenwu cannon across the river as soon as possible. ”

"There will be a decisive battle in the next three or five days? How is this known? ”

"Li Jing will not withdraw his troops, once Li Jing retreats, he will be attacked by political enemies in the DPRK and China, and if he wants to keep his position, he must launch a general attack before the heavy snow closes the road."

Bai Song was sure of his judgment and clenched his fists solemnly.

"We've got to decide in the next few days! I don't want to procrastinate, lest I have too many dreams at night! ”

Jian Thirteen nodded solemnly and looked at the bottom of the mountain: "Then I'll go and gather all the heads back." ”

After speaking, Jian Thirteen jumped down the mountain, and several people had already reached the distance.

Xu Ruan'er's voice came from the forest behind Bai Song: "Why are you so attached to the Holy Lotus Sect? Do you really hate those people that much? ”

Xu Ruan'er's appearance surprised Bai Song.

"Why do you keep following me?" Bai Song frowned slightly, he was in a bit of a depressed mood today, and his tone was not very good.

When Xu Ruan'er heard this, she was stunned in place, blushing, neither advancing nor retreating.

"I don't mean anything else......" Bai Song explained simply, he could see that this girl had a good impression of him, but this good feeling was obviously based on the last time he sacrificed his life to save him.

Bai Song didn't like this kind of good feeling born out of gratitude, just because he was in a depressed mood at the moment, and he didn't want the girl in front of him to have more bad signs.

Bai Song thought for a while, and then said, "Since you are curious about why I hate the Holy Lotus Sect, then I will tell you the truth now." The emperor wants me to exterminate the Holy Lotus Sect and control my family and friends, including my wife, concubines, and even friends. ”

"Wife...... Concubine...... Good ......" The sudden words made Xu Ruan'er a little overwhelmed, and her eyes widened and she didn't know what emotion it was.

Bai Song continued: "That's right, I'm a money-hungry villain, not a hero, everything I do is to save my family. Everything you see is not as good as you imagined. ”

Xu Ruan'er bowed her head slightly, stunned.

Bai Song didn't say anything more, turned around and prepared to leave.

Just as she was about to leave, Xu Ruan'er suddenly asked, "Then why did you save me?" ”

"From the heart, out of instinct, how can there be why? If I were someone else, I would have saved it. ”

"Understood." Xu Ruan'er replied softly.

At this time, Bai Song suddenly thought of something: "There is one thing I want to trouble you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"There will be a big event in the near future, Xiao Wu is very dangerous to follow me, please take her with you, and avoid it in the mountains for a few days, if I can come back safely, I will naturally come to you, if I can't come back...... You're going to take Xiao Wu somewhere else......"

"What are you going to do?"

"You don't need to know that."

"You entrusted Xiao Wu to me, but you still refuse to trust me?"

"If you are willing to repay me for saving my life, just agree, and don't ask anything else."

Xu Ruan'er looked at Bai Song's serious expression and realized that the other party was not joking.

This person was calm and calm when he was trapped in the valley, without the seriousness in front of him, and he must really encounter greater danger later.

"I want to help you, and it is also my will to deal with the Holy Lotus Sect."

"Helping me take care of Xiao Wu is the biggest help."

Xu Ruan'er hesitated again, and finally nodded: "Okay, I promise you." ”

"Alright, get some rest."

Xu Ruan'er stopped talking and was about to leave, when Bai Song suddenly said, "There is one more thing." ”

"Huh?"

"If you want to take Xiao Wu to other places in the future, you must keep her away from Chang'an."

"Why?"

Bai Song didn't answer, turned around and went to find Xiao Wu, to give her a good explanation.

……

In the light snow at dusk, there was a movement between the mountains and forests, and more than ten people stepped through the wind and snow, and the walking speed in the forest was extremely fast, and they arrived at Bai Song's side in a blink of an eye.

Jian Thirteen pointed at everyone: "All the heads have arrived. ”

"Alliance leader, is there a change in the plan?"

When everyone gathered, Bai Song's spirit was shocked, and he immediately lost the slightest sleepiness.

"There is a river blocking the road ahead, and the Shenwu cannon must be sent across the river today. I would like to ask all the leaders to carry the cannon over. ”

"The Shenwu cannon weighs a thousand catties, but if we work together, it's not impossible."

"It's just that our group gathers and crosses the bridge in a grand manner, will it be too conspicuous?"

"There is a rebel position not far ahead, and if it is discovered, the Shenwu artillery is not ready......"

Everyone was discussing, and Bai Song had already made up his mind: "If we act at night, will we be found and left to fate." ”
