Chapter 65: Each shows his ability to reach the peach forest
Standing on top of the towering city wall, looking at the plain under your feet, a lot of tattered weapons and armor, and many bones, as if you could see thousands of soldiers fighting on it, shouts, roars constantly echoing in your ears.
A large smell of blood lingered for a long time, as if it had been adsorbed on this piece of land, still beaten by the wind and rain, and always permeated the air.
Poria frowned and asked, "How many people have died here, and why does it smell so bloody?"
Yang Luochen shook his head, he didn't calculate this, Da Liang has been fighting with Yun Guo for more than fifty years, who knows how much blood this apprentice has stained. Yang Tian on the side sighed and said, "After more than fifty years of war, at least a million people have died here. Nearly 400,000 soldiers in my hands are buried here."
Hearing Yang Tian's reply, Blood Shadow Guard, Yang Luochen and Poria were all shaken in their hearts, Yang Luochen's eyes looked at the sky in the south firmly, and he thought in his heart, "I must end this meaningless war this time"
Everyone watched for a while, and then Yang Tian asked, "Chen'er, how are you going to save your father?"
Yang Luochen smiled slightly and said, "This is simple, just use me to exchange it."
"No" As soon as Yang Luochen finished speaking, Yang Tian roared with a calm face. The Blood Shadow Guard and the old generals were all strongly opposed.
Looking at this situation, Yang Luochen had a headache, if he didn't change it again, he would be in danger if he hit his father, thinking of this, Yang Luochen asked Bai Qingdao on the side: "Uncle Bai, what is there any movement on the side of Daliang after my father was arrested?"
Bai Qing said: "No, Brother Yang has been arrested until now, and Daliang's side has been very quiet. ”
Yan Xintong asked, "General Bai, how was General Yang arrested?"
Speaking of this, Bai Qing was a little embarrassed, but Yang Tian said: "According to what you say, what are you afraid of embarrassing?"
Bai Qing said at this time: "If Brother Yang has been in the military camp or commanding operations, it is impossible to be arrested. However, one night, a secret letter came from Da Liang's side, specifying that only Brother Yang could read it."
"Brother Yang's face was wrong after reading the letter, and I was worried that Brother Yang would have an accident, so I sent a team to protect him. Who would have thought that that night, Brother Yang rescued him and left the barracks alone, and there was no news after that"
Later, Da Liang sent a messenger with Brother Yang's sword, saying that they would only exchange it for King Yingchuan for a period of one month, otherwise they would send the corpse back. Only then did I feel that the matter was serious, so I sent the limit of 800 miles to His Majesty."
After listening to Bai Qing's narration, Yang Luochen was a little puzzled and asked, "Uncle Bai, do you know what is written in the letter?"
Bai Qing shook his head and said, "Only Brother Yang has read this letter, and no one else knows about it, and they don't know what means Da Liang used to deceive Brother Yang."
Yang Luochen thought about it for a long time, and he didn't understand how his father could be fooled by such a prefecture-level deception, but there was nothing to do at the moment, Yang Luochen then asked: "Uncle Bai, do you know the situation in Daliang?"
Bai Qing shook his head, he has been guarding southern Xinjiang all the year round, and he has never taken a step out of the military camp, and the news from Daliang's side is sent back by spies, as for Daliang's domestic affairs, spies can't find out at all, and Bai Qing naturally doesn't know.
"This is a bit troublesome, eight years have passed, I don't know how he is in Daliang?" Yang Luochen thought in his heart.
Everyone thought that he was thinking about countermeasures and didn't bother, just like that, everyone stood on the city wall for a long time, but still didn't come up with any good solutions, and Yang Luochen would be silent.
At this time, the soldiers below came to report that the Qilin Army still had three days to reach southern Xinjiang, and then they could rest and go to the battlefield.
Hearing this news, Yang Luochen was even more headed, it was already chaotic enough, the old man was there, and there were a few old generals, and now the Qilin Army was coming, and it was even more chaotic, Yang Luochen didn't know how many times he scolded the person who paid attention to it in his heart.
"Grandpa, if you can trust me in this matter, let me handle it all," Yang Luochen said as he looked at Yang Tian with firm eyes.
Yang Tian was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "I can naturally trust it, but you can't go to Daliang alone again."
Yang Luochen said very happily: "No, I have been there once, and I know the danger of Daliang." But this time I'm going to take them with me."
Yang Tiangang wanted to object, but Yang Luochen continued: "Grandpa, don't worry, since I have been there once, I can come back safely, and I will definitely come back safely this time." Besides, they helped me."
"If you don't let me go, my father will save the danger, you have been in contact with the Liang army for a long time, you know the temper of the Liang army, they do what they say"
Yang Tian was speechless by Yang Luochen's words, on one side he was his only son, and on the other hand he was his only grandson, this choice made him really difficult to decide.
After a long time, Yang Tiancai said with difficulty: "Okay, grandpa let you go, if there is any mistake between your father and son, I will definitely step on the land of Daliang even if I fight hard."
Yang Luochen listened to Yang Tian's words, and was moved in his heart, an old man in his seventies still has such courage in the face of this situation, which is indeed amazing.
"I'll swear to protect the young master's safety," the people of the Blood Shadow Guard also shouted in unison, their eyes full of determination.
Yang Luochen looked back at them with a smile, he didn't know what to say, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't have anyone available, he didn't want the Blood Shadow Guard's people to get involved.
"Okay, well, my Yang Tianrong horse has been dying of old age all my life, and it is a blessing to be able to see young people with such courage and loyalty. Yang Tian said loudly.
Long Zhan behind him also said: "You can rest assured, if there is something that can't be solved, bring a letter back, our brothers will support you, it's a big deal to sleep here with those dead brothers."
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? We are not going to die, besides, we can still run if we can't beat us," Long Lan hurriedly pulled Long Zhan and said coquettishly.
Looking at Long Lan's granddaughter, Long Zhan was really distressed in his heart, this trip was more auspicious and less auspicious, but as a loyal subordinate of the Yang family, even if Long Zhan was distressed, he could only let Long Lan follow, without the Yang family, without Yang Tian, where is there Long Zhan in this life, let alone the Long family.
When Yan Xintong saw this, she pushed Huo Linglang out, no matter what Yang Luochen thought, and said: "Let's go, Linglang and Xiaolan don't have to go."
The people of the Blood Shadow Guard didn't have any opinions, with a smile on their faces, Huo Linglang glanced at them, walked in front of Long Zhan, knelt on the ground and said, "Grandpa, I'm going"
Long Zhan hurriedly helped her up and said: "I know, I know, get up first, grandpa let you go, you must protect the young master, and you must also protect yourself."
Huo Linglang walked back into the team of the Blood Shadow Guard, Long Lan also stood back, seeing this, Yang Luochen said with a wry smile: "It's just a trip to Daliang, how did you keep up with the battlefield, don't worry, with me, none of you will be fine, besides"
Speaking of this, Yang Luochen peeked at Poria Cocos, he originally wanted to say, "Besides, there are still Poria Cocos", but suddenly remembered that Poria Cocos' identity could not be exposed, so he changed his words and said: "Besides, we are not going to kill the enemy this time, but just to see the situation, and by the way, I will take you to see the scenery of Daliang."
The others didn't believe Yang Luochen's words at all, only Long Lan innocently asked: "Young master, you have been to Daliang, what is it like over there, is there anything that we don't have in Yunguo?"
"Haha, this is more, you will know when the time comes, it is not so scary" Yang Luochen said with a smile.
When he said this, the heavy atmosphere was much less, and everyone felt a lot easier to buy the New Year, Yang Tian asked, "When are you going?"
"Now go back and rest, and leave tomorrow morning. If the Qilin Army arrives, grandpa, all the old generals, you should hone those boys well, I was still too merciful back then, I don't know what it has become now"
Several old generals nodded in agreement, and everyone went down the city wall, although it was still early, Yang Luochen still ordered them to rest, and he also found a tent to make up for a good night's sleep.
Early the next morning, everyone gathered under the city wall, and after saying goodbye to Yang Tian and them, the Blood Shadow Guard, Yang Luochen and Poria and a group of fourteen people rode their horses towards the south.
Looking at their distant backs, Yang Tian's faces were heavy, and they didn't go back until they disappeared from view.
Passing through the vast plain, Yang Luochen and the others came to a forest, the forest did not have a single leaf, all the trees were charred black, and the land was also black, which was very strange.
The people of the Blood Shadow Guard looked at the woods in front of them with curiosity, and Miao Ze asked: "Young master, why is this forest so strange, there is not a single leaf"
Yang Luochen smiled and said, "This is the first landscape of Daliang, the Black Forest. When it thunders and rains in this forest, there will be countless thunderstorms, and I don't know when this phenomenon will start to appear, it has always been like this."
Everyone gasped when they heard this, they didn't expect that there was such a strange place in the world, no wonder there were no leaves, the whole forest was black, it turned out to be split like this by lightning.
"Young master, you really came to travel when we came, and you would like to introduce it, what is the first landscape," Yan Xintong said complainingly.
"Hey, Xintong, you weren't like this when you were a child, but I didn't expect that after eight years, you became more and more stable. But this time we really didn't come to travel, but we didn't come to give lives, to be precise, we came to help."
"Young Master, what can we do to help Daliang?" Long Lan asked seriously.
"Walk through this Black Forest, and wait until you reach the territory of Daliang, I'm telling you"
Yan Xintong asked, "Young master, don't you save General Yang?"
"It's not that we don't save it, it's not time yet, let's go to Daliang first to inquire about some things, if the situation is under my control, they will send my father back then"
Yang Luochen has been selling Guanzi, no matter how much everyone asks, they can't ask what the result is, the group put the horse and shuttle in the Black Forest on foot, Yang Luochen led the way in front with his memory.
After walking for an hour, everyone walked out of the Black Forest, and Miao Ze came out to rescue him and said, "Why is this forest so big?"
Everyone also felt the same way, but Poria didn't feel that Yang Luochen was a little embarrassed when he heard Miao Ze's words, because at the normal speed, he came out in half an hour, but Yang Luochen took them to get lost, if it weren't for Poria secretly commanding, they didn't know how long they would be in it.
"Okay, okay, there is a sentry post in front, let's be careful, cross the big mountain in front, it is the country of Daliang" Yang Luochen pointed to the high mountain in front of him and said.
At this time, everyone passed through the Black Forest and directly bypassed the place where the Great Liang army was stationed, and came to the front of a dare to delete on the left side of the Great Army. The mountain is high and covered with trees, among which you can occasionally see sentry posts.
Looking at the mountain in front of them, everyone in the Blood Shadow Guard looked up, and Miao Ze asked: "I'll go, young master, this way to go to Daliang, how did you think of it, it's better to go directly through the army."
Yang Luochen took the lead in the front, and said slowly: "Little fat man, if I can pass through the army, what else do I have to do, when I go back this time, if the Baiyun Sect can't look down on you, I will let you go to General Bai Qing's army to be a chess player, so that you can see what it means to charge the army."
Miao Ze hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't don't, young master, I was wrong, I shouldn't talk too much."
Miao Ze's expression caused the others to laugh, and Yan Xintong joked: "Fatty, I know that this time it's amazing, and I can't cure you."
"I kind of understand, it turns out that Sister Xintong's methods are all the young bishop's, so I said why are you so familiar. ”
Yan Xintong hurriedly signaled Miao Ze to shut up and walked behind Yang Luochen, but the youngest Guan Hongyi asked, "Young Master, what are you talking about Baiyun Sect?"
Yang Luochen said slowly: "Baiyun Sect is located on the Eighty Mountain, that is the Immortal Gate, and it is also the place where the strange old man told you to go to find an opportunity, Ling'er is there now."
"No wonder I didn't see the princess coming with me this time, it turned out that I went to Eighty Mountain, but the princess didn't say that she would wait for us," Huo Linglang said.
"I'm telling you later, be careful, there is a sentry post in front, now each of you depends on your ability, cross that mountain, we will gather in a peach blossom forest on the other side of the mountain, and see if you have made progress in the past eight years" Yang Luochen looked at the front and said seriously.
Everyone in the Blood Shadow Guard was full of confidence and looked eager to try, and Yang Luochen was the first to leave, like a civet all the time, shuttling between the mountains without a sound.
Seeing that Yang Luochen left first, the people of the Blood Shadow Guard also followed one after another, but Poria was at ease, and kept following Yan Xintong's side, fluttering like a feather, Shen Yue glanced at Poria in surprise and flew away from the other side.
There are indeed many sentry posts on this mountain, almost every ten zhang, and almost the entire mountain is under view, but there are also many trees and luxuriant, which is also a good place to hide.
The sky was blue and the sun was bright, and the fourteen people quietly shuttled through the mountains without business, sometimes galloping, sometimes hiding, avoiding one sentry post after another, and went to the other side of the mountain.
This belongs to Miao Ze, Zhou Taihe, Guan Hongyi's light skills are the worst, far behind, the others are the people who follow closely in front, although Poria is good, but he doesn't know the way, so he can only obediently follow behind Yan Xintong.
Yang Luochen used all his strength, and it took three hours to cross the mountain and come to the agreed peach blossom forest, where Shen Yue was already waiting. What appeared behind Yang Luochen was Tian Zhuo with an arrow on his back, followed by Ai Yiming and Yun Zhengqing.
Then came Huo Linglang and Long Lan, and then Poria and Yan Xintong also arrived. Everyone waited for half an hour before Di Yuan and Pang Hanfei arrived one after another. After waiting for half an hour again, it was already dark, and Guan Hongyi and Miao Ze joined them.
Di Yuan looked at Miao Ze, who was panting, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Fatty, your body is very weak, it's better to go to those places less in the future."
Di ...... Boss, Young...... Less to say...... If it's cool, I'm ...... But I haven't been there for a long time," Miao Ze said as he gasped.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yang Luochen said: "Okay, now that everyone is gathered, I will tell me what to do next."
