Section 336 Strange noises
Liu Yu led everyone under his command to run quickly, and finally safely crossed the long and tortuous Black Wind Gorge. He looked up at the moon setting in the far west on the horizon www.biquge.info knew that the dawn was not far away. So much had happened that night that the situation was far from what he had planned.
Hu San followed closely behind him, "Liu Shaoxia, are we going to attack the rear of those Tubo people at night?"
After experiencing so many things tonight, anyone who is a little smarter can already guess a little bit about the purpose of Liu Yu's trip.
Liu Yu pondered for a moment, and he saw a slope in the distance. The terrain is quite undulating, and it is actually an ambush selection. He ordered all the more than 3,000 men to move behind the slope and gave the order: "The procession will not go any further, and all men will dismount here and rest for a while." People have grass, horses are bits, and they are not allowed to make a single sound, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law!"
He himself turned over and dismounted, stroked his horse's mane, and the mount seemed to be human, and leaned down meekly, with its belly on the ground, and lay down on the dewy grass, without saying a word.
He patted his mount's head with relief, and looked at the direction of the Black Wind Gorge in the distance, and the anxiety in his heart became more and more intense—even though Senior Brother Zhu Xun had firmly controlled Madam Xiao in his hands, he still didn't dare to completely let go of his heart.
He knew Mrs. Shaw's personality well and knew her treacherous and alert. With such a person's smart mind, if he really wanted to report to the Tibetan general Cang Gyatso, it would not be a difficult task.
For the sake of now, he can only change his original plan and make another plan. He hoped that the Tibetans would not discover this slope, let alone him and his 3,000 subordinates behind this slope. Only then will he be able to regain the slightest chance of success.
He leaned his back against the mound and rested his head on a slightly flatter boulder, and closed his eyes tiredly, wanting to rest for a moment. How could he be worried in his heart, thinking for a while about the consequences of this battle, if he failed, I am afraid that it would have a great impact on the battle situation of Yelu Shilu; for a while, he thought about how to explain to Li Jing if he ran into her later, that he was not sorry for her; for a while, he thought about how to deal with His Royal Highness King Kui, who was strong in martial arts, and now that he has lost all his martial arts, I am afraid that he is far from being this person's opponent.
He was upset, got up again, patted the dust off his body, and quietly patrolled the army. Most of the soldiers had closed their eyes and were asleep. He walked to the middle of the group of Central Plains martial artists, and saw more than forty Emei sect disciples gathered in a circle, and there seemed to be something around in the middle. These people were clearly not asleep, but seemed to be vigilantly guarding some treasure.
When he looked closer, he heard a rhythmic thump among them, like the sound of something striking against them. He patted several Emei sect disciples on the shoulders with his scabbard, ordering them to step aside. Unexpectedly, these people glared at him in unison as if they were enemies, and they just drew the long sword at their waists.
Not far from him, a leader of the Right Army noticed the movement and wanted to wake up all the officers and men of the Right Army to protect the commander. Liu Yu made a gesture and motioned for him to remain silent. At this sensitive moment, he did not want to cause a big stir in the army.
He lowered his voice and said to these Emei sect disciples, "Since you are all following me to fight, then you should follow my orders. ”
A more daring Emei sect disciple walked in front of him and bowed perfunctorily, his expression was not without the unique arrogance of the famous sect, "Liu Shaoxia saved our lives from Yelu Shilu's hands, and our Emei sect brothers are unforgettable. However, at the moment, it is our Emei faction's own business, and it has nothing to do with Liu Shaoxia, so please don't ask. ”
While this person was talking, the sound of the knock surrounded by the disciples of the Emei Sect not far away became more and more intense, causing the faces of these people to look very flustered, which caused Liu Yu's suspicion even more.
He stared at the bold Emei sect disciple, and said forcibly: "You should know, there is no trivial matter in the army. With such a loud voice, the Tibetans will find out at any time......"
As he was talking, the Emei Sect disciples gathered over there suddenly screamed and dispersed. He finally saw that the men were surrounded by a wooden box about a man high. The lid of the wooden box was suddenly lifted, and a large amount of lime powder splattered everywhere. The head of the seven-wounded old man bit the body of the gold-topped Taoist and rolled out of the wooden box with difficulty, and everywhere he passed, lime was scattered all over the ground.
Seeing this, the bold Emei sect disciple hurriedly rushed forward to hold down the head.
Liu Yu hurriedly grabbed him, "You don't want to die, if you are bitten by him, can you still live?"
The bold Emei disciple hurriedly said: "We can't ignore the body of the master, otherwise the people in the martial arts will laugh at our Emei sect disciples for being disloyal and unjust!"
The head of the seven-wounded old man had become more and more presumptuous since he rolled out of the wooden box, he bit the body of the Jinding Dao Chief, feasted on it a few times, and rolled on the ground very comfortably, let out a long sigh of relief, and sneezed, and the lime powder squirted out of his nostrils.
After that, he dragged the body of the Golden Dome Daoist around on the ground, and even tried to drill holes in the ground with the top of his head, as if he was planning to use the body of the Jinding Daoist as food for the winter.
When the disciples of the Emei faction saw that the body of the master was humiliated, their cries rang out, and they all drew their swords and stepped forward to chop off the head of the old man with seven injuries. Unexpectedly, the head of the old man with seven injuries had been packed in the wooden box filled with lime these days, and the moisture in the skin and flesh had been absorbed, so it looked very hard. He counted the swords of the Emei Sect disciples in his head, but he was unharmed.
Maybe he was provoked by these Emei sect disciples, so he rolled on the ground, biting everywhere, forcing these Emei sect disciples to retreat one after another. The resulting big movement woke up some of the surrounding soldiers of the Right Army and other martial arts people. Everyone did not dare to approach, but they were all watching the excitement from afar.
Liu Yu didn't panic, he squatted down, pinched some lime powder from the ground, put it under his nose and smelled it, and asked, "Lime is raw, right?"
The bold Emei sect disciple hurriedly replied: "It's raw, it's raw, these limes are originally used for embalming corpses!"
Liu Yu patted the quicklime on his hand, "Bring a few pots of water!"
Several Emei disciples hurriedly offered the water bladder, and he pulled the plug of the water bladder and poured the water on the head of the seven-wounded old man stained with quicklime. For a while, the heat surged, and the head of the Golden Dome Daoist screamed in pain, and finally let go of the body of the Jinding Daoist. The disciples of the Kongtong faction took the opportunity to step forward, snatched the headless body of the master, and put it back in the wooden box.
Seeing the body of the Jinding Dao Chief, the head of the seven-wounded old man was so anxious that a muttering sound came out of his throat, as if he was shouting "Senior Brother! Senior Brother!" (to be continued. )
