Chapter 99: Crossing the moat in the dark

Seeing that Mo Sheng's begging for peace and his wife were indeed sincere, he hoped that the two of Ula would also come to the city. Alayan Zongzhi expressed his gratitude, it was much better to let Ula Peach live in Andy Xing'er's house than to sleep in the thorn field.

It's just that there are no bridges, and there are no ships to cross the moat. If he could cross the river, he could tie them to the wall with ropes.

Seeing that Alayanzong's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he was thinking hard about how to cross the river, Mo Sheng begged for peace and suddenly said, "I have a big round dustpan at home. I've tried, and it's not leaky, and I can use it to cross the moat one by one. ”

Andy Xing'er's eyes immediately lit up, "Yes, why didn't I think of it! The dustpan is very sturdy, and it is no problem to sit alone." ”

Alayanzong frowned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "This is a method, can I take a look at the dustpan first?"

"Of course, of course. Xing'er go quickly and bring the dustpan. Mo Sheng's begging for peace was a little impatient, urging Xing'er.

Andy Xing'er hurriedly went out of the door, ran to the east wing with small steps, and quickly moved a big dustpan back.

The diameter of this large dustpan is one and a half meters, and it is still ninety percent new, and the woven rattan is very intact and has not been broken.

Alayanzong pressed it and it was very solid, put it in the water, and there was no problem at all for a person to sit on, it was enough to be used as a small boat.

Alayanzong thought for a moment and asked, "Is there a rope at home?"

Mo Sheng Qiu An smiled: "What I do is the buying and selling of daily necessities, and the rope is naturally there, so I will get it for you." ”

With that, he went out of the house, and soon brought back a bundle of ropes, thick, thin, long, and short.

Alayanzong was very happy when he saw it, so he picked and found a rope as thick as his thumb, about twenty meters. I picked two more ropes more than ten meters long and as thick as my little thumb, saying that these were enough.

Then he asked Andy Xing'er to find a two-meter-long thin rope for the sole of his shoe, led it with a needle, threaded it back and forth on the edge of the big dustpan, tied the string to it, and tied two symmetrically.

Mo Sheng begged An to see the behavior of the Alayan Sect, and he already understood his thoughts, and kept nodding his head in praise, "Okay, good! The young man is smart, so it will be foolproof." ”

Alayanzong responded with a smile. When the things were ready, Alayanzong wrapped the rope, carried it to his shoulder, tied the dustpan to his body, and said goodbye to the two.

The streets were still deserted, and the patrolman was nowhere to be seen. Alayanzong carried the dustpan on his back, followed the root of the wall, and ran towards the side of the city wall at great speed.

When I got to the city wall, I found the steps, climbed the steps, came to the southwest corner again, turned over the city wall, and slid down the corner of the wall.

Untied the dustpan and rope from his body, and placed the long rope the thickness of his thumb under the base of the wall. Tie the strings attached to the dustpan again and put them all in the dustpan.

Alayanzong flattened the end of the dustpan, and immediately spun his body, turning faster and faster, and after five or six turns, he threw the dustpan out.

The dustpan spun rapidly, and flew across the moat like a flying saucer, and fell to the ground, still spinning like a spinning top when it landed, and finally stopped, except for the slight grinding sound.

This action will not make such a loud noise and alarm the officers and soldiers defending the city.

Alayanzong ran to the southern gate of the city again, and ran up to the diagonally pulled suspension bridge with his feet, and jumped up, churning in the air, and falling lightly to the other side of the moat.

In the faint moonlight, a fast-running figure ran towards the thorn ground, and no footsteps could be heard on this side of the city wall.

Seeing that the Alayan Sect had returned soon, Ula Peach hurriedly inquired if there was any news.

Alayanzong told them everything he knew. The two of Ula Peach were first happy, and then worried.

I'm glad to see Andy Xing'er, and she has found a good home and is happy for her. The worry is that the royal city has been closed, and it is not easy to live even if you go in, not to mention that the city gate is closed.

When they learned that the Alayan Sect had already figured out a way to let them enter the city, the two of them became elated again, and hurriedly changed their words, saying that it was better to go to the city first, than to live in this wilderness.

The three of them hurriedly packed their luggage, and Alayanzong led the two of them quietly to the dustpan. Alayanzong found a long stone in the dark and tied it to one end of the rope.

After whispering an explanation to the two, he ran to the south gate again, and repeated the trick, slid down the suspension bridge, and returned to the southwest corner of the city wall again.

He made a gesture, and Allah took the rope with one end of the long stone in his right hand, spun it, and threw it at Alayanzong.

Alayanzong stretched out his hand and caught the long stone accurately, he gently retracted the rope on this side, on the other side of the moat, the peach of Ula carried the dustpan, reached the river, and slowly put it into the moat.

Allah pulled the rope behind him, tied the dustpan, and worked together to finally put the dustpan smoothly on the water.

Mo Sheng Qiu'an often went out, he knew the depth of the surrounding moat, and had already told Alayanzong that the water of the moat in the southwest corner was the shallowest place from the bank, no more than one person deep, and the other places were much deeper, and it was most suitable to cross the river from here.

The Alayan sect also chose this place as a point to cross the river.

Allah stepped on the rope with his foot to prevent the dustpan from drifting away with the water.

With the help of Allah's little two, the peach of Ula took his hand and slowly slid down from the shore.

She tried to put her feet in the dustpan and found balance with the help of the point of force of Allah's rope. Finally the dustpan could be exhausted, so she slowly squatted down and sat down on the edge of the dustpan, trying to keep her body as steady as possible.

The Tao of the Peach of Ula had already sat down firmly in the dustpan, and then made a gesture.

Allah gently and slowly loosens the rope at this end. The Alayanzong on this side of the city wall gradually tightened the rope, and the peach of Ula sat in the dustpan and slowly floated towards the side of the city wall.

It took less than two minutes to float to the other side. Alayanzong hung down the rope with one end of the long stone, let Ula Peach grasp it, and pulled her up.

On the shore, Ula Peach let out a sigh of relief and whispered, "I'm so nervous!"

Alayanzong just whispered, "There is no danger", and waved his hand to Allah's little two.

Allah quickly pulled the rope and dragged the dustpan back to the other side.

But you must know that his left arm has not improved, and it is still on his neck, and it is really difficult to complete these movements with his right hand alone.

He took his left hand out of the rope sleeve, and although his left arm was still a little painful, he could use some force.

Allah slipped down the riverbank, pressing the rope with his hands alternately, so that the dustpan would not drift aside.

He tentatively put one foot in the dustpan, waited until he was firmly on it, then let go of the other foot, and then slowly shrunk his body. First squat into the dustpan, then sit down slowly, then pull the rope over, and put it all into the dustpan.

Finally, when it was safe, he waved his hand to the Alayanzong, and the Alayanzong slowly pulled him to the other side.

In the same way, he hung the rope, let him grab the end, and pulled him ashore.

At this time, Allah Xiaoer felt the pain in the broken bone of his left arm, and he was even more palpitating when he thought about the scene just now. However, at this time, they didn't care about these feelings, and the next step was to climb this high city wall.
