Chapter 1038: Interception by the Pursuers (Part II)
At the foot of Amber Hill, the Mengyuan soldiers were still searching for the whereabouts of the troops in the dark......
"General, I've found it—" The patrol room was filled with the shouts of soldiers from the north. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Where?—— the general shouted, and led the team to hurry in the direction of the shout.
"Here—" the soldier continued, "except they're all ......"
When the general took a closer look, he saw more than a dozen corpses of soldiers lying in the mud - the remains of the last night's flood, and there were faint traces of blood floating on them, but it was not difficult to see that the fatal injuries were man-made, and the generals could not help frowning as they watched.
"General, they ......" The cronies seemed to have noticed something, and said secretly.
"They were all killed by sharp blades, and they were the work of people...... "The general said with a serious face, "It seems that there was a sneak attack by enemy troops here last night, and the mudslide broke out and flooded, and the corpses floated here......"
"Really...... What did the enemy do......" The cronies said as the soldier shuddered slightly.
"But that's not right......" Another soldier suddenly wondered, and couldn't help asking, "Why did you only see the corpses of our soldiers when we encountered mudslide......s?
"I don't know, it's a ...... to hire assassins with strong martial arts," the general shook his head, confused, "But what is the enemy's purpose, he has to run to this undefended amber hill......
"General, we've found it again—" Just as he was suspicious, another report came from above the hillside, and it seemed that there was a new discovery.
"What did you find again?—— the general did not slack off for a moment, and stepped on the silt and went up the stone slope with one step.
"There's a cave here—" said the soldier, pointing to the debris in the cave, "Look, General, there are still leftover wild vegetables and fruits here, and someone must have stayed here last night......
"In other words, these people killed us, what kind of guys are they......" The general looked in his eyes, muttered a few times, and then ordered, "You guys go over and see if you can find any clues-"
"Yes—" The men agreed, and continued their investigation in the cave......
"Rumble......" However, at some point, there were several dull shaking sounds from the entrance of the cave.
"Huh?" The general also noticed that something was wrong, and the soles of his feet would make a faint vibration from time to time, which made people feel uneasy.
"Rustle—" But in the middle of the hole, the rock wall above shook and sprinkled a little mud and sand.
"What's going on?" the vibration on the soles of his feet became stronger and stronger, and the crowd felt more and more wrong, and couldn't help but panic.
However, what followed was a shocking scene......
"Boom-" Suddenly, with a crack in the rock wall, the boulder mud and sand fell vertically, and the entire cave mouth collapsed as if it were an instant, and before the soldiers in the cave could react, they were crushed by countless mud and stones.
"Ahh......h
"What's the matter, how did the cave collapse?" asked the general, who had not yet recovered from his shock, and took a nervous step back.
"General, look at it—" The soldier on the side seemed to have noticed something, and asked as he pointed above the entrance to the cave.
I saw that on the top of the cave, a woman with a flowery face and moon appearance, dressed in red armor, stepped on the pile of rocks with both hands, and cast contemptuous eyes at herself and others - without asking, she was Xu Shuang, who had arranged a trap here according to Xiao Tian's strategy, waiting for Meng Yuan's soldiers to step in.
"Who are you, you made this trap?" General Meng Yuan looked up and asked Xu Shuang with a look of grievance.
"It doesn't matter who your aunt and grandmother are......" Sure enough, Xu Shuang chattered disdainfully, and said with a contemptuous smile, "Look at your cowardice, you look like you're afraid of death when you see the collapse, you can still be a general like this?"
"Stinky girl is so arrogant...... Did you kill our people?" the general listened to Xu Shuang's words, "embarrassed" for a while, and then asked angrily.
"What do you say?......" Xu Shuang deliberately pouted and said playfully, teasing these Mengyuan soldiers like monkeys, and continued to sneer, "Just your hands, it's not enough for me to stuff my teeth......"
"Come on, arrest this stinky girl for me——" was ridiculed by Xu Shuang's female baby, and the general was already furious, and shouted angrily at his soldiers.
The soldiers got the order and went uphill to arrest Xu Shuang. However, the roof of the cave where Xu Shuang was standing had collapsed, and if he wanted to catch her, he had to take a detour and walk up the muddy ramp. Xu Shuang didn't panic at all in his eyes, and even deliberately stayed for a while, waiting for the soldiers to come.
"Sigh Sigh ............Sigh Whistle Whistle Guy Guy T
"General, it's gone-" A group of soldiers were clumsy, and they were played around by Xu Shuang, and they lost people all of a sudden, and their subordinates couldn't help but ask for guidance.
"A bunch of fools, they can't even catch a little girl-" When the general heard the sound of anger, he climbed a few steps forward, then drew his sword and said, "Come, let me go——"
As a result, a group of people will rush to chase Xu Shuang in the direction of the uphill slope......
But Xu Shuang was like a rabbit, after going up the mountain, he dodged a few steps from side to side, and soon left Meng Yuan and the others far away. And the soldiers, all dressed in heavy armor, were out of breath after barely climbing a few steps, and even the generals themselves were so tired that they couldn't stop breathing.
"You ...... Hurry up for me...... Huhu ...... "Everyone couldn't catch up with Xu Shuang, and the general kept being tired and panting while shouting orders at his subordinates behind him.
"Boss, I'm so tired, this little girl...... Running too fast, we ...... I can't keep up with ......" The cronies were so tired that they couldn't stand it, and they panted as they stroked their knees.
"A bunch of waste, usually raise you...... What are you going to eat......" The general couldn't help but curse again, but he was really a little out of breath, and his feet subconsciously stopped, resting on the rock wall.
"General, ahead...... There seems to be something ahead......" Suddenly, a soldier noticed something and asked by pointing to something inexplicable on the hillside.
"What is ......" The general turned his head tiredly, but saw a loose soil on the hillside, and an inexplicable sign was inserted in the middle, like a tombstone.
"What the hell is that...... What ......" The soldiers below were still a little scared, thinking of the trap that had collapsed at the entrance of the cave just now, and everyone's hearts were still trembling.
"I'll take a look—" The general was bold, and he got up, and walked to the sign, but when he got close, he saw a few big words above—
The fool is buried here-
At the end, I made a grimace with mud......
The general recognized it at once, it must have been the little girl who made it just now. In a fit of rage, the general was furious, and he pulled up his card and shouted: "I'll you, this stinky girl is impatient——"
Who knew that as soon as the card was pulled, there was a sudden sound like a mechanism under his feet......
"How...... How...... What's wrong?——" The sense of vibration became stronger and stronger, and the soldiers of the army were a little frightened, and they couldn't help but tremble and asked.
"Rumbling ......" several tremors came from the overhead, and when they saw the real thing, everyone revealed their horror......
"Ah!!!!——" The giant thing struck, and all the troops shouted, only to see that above the top of the hillside, several jacks of boulders were like rolling balls, along the side cliffs, and smashed down towards the Mengyuan army - the card just now was a trap switch, and the general pulled out the card in a hurry to trigger the mechanism.
"Run, run——" Some soldiers couldn't stand it anymore, completely ignoring the orders of their generals, and they screamed and ran down the mountain like headless flies.
"Hey, a few of you will stop for me——" The general saw his subordinates fleeing for their lives in a hurry and not being in shape, and he was already so angry that his heart exploded - more importantly, he was a dignified Mengyuan soldier, and he was played around like a little girl like a teaser, and the general couldn't help but feel angry when he thought about it, and he couldn't help but be angry, and he couldn't wait to immediately break Xu Shuang's body into ten thousand pieces.
But at the moment of fate, they didn't care about face or anything, not only the troops who climbed the slope were scattered, but the soldiers who fled just now were even more holding their heads and running down the mountain, crying and shouting, which was extremely funny.
"Knock knock knock-" But the boulder that rolled down from the cliff was alarmed, and continued to fall towards the Mengyuan soldiers, and they were about to die, and the soldiers of the army cried and wailed violently......
However, just as everyone ran down the mountain pass "in one go", there was another movement under their feet......
"Huh-" As soon as the cold wind blew, the soles of his feet suddenly cooled, and the Mengyuan scholars suddenly felt that their feet were hanging in the air, and they waited until they looked down, but it was too late.
"Ah......——h
The pursuit failed, but Xiao Tian and Xu Shuang played a round and round, and Meng Jiang was particularly ashamed in his heart. Before, Xiao Tian and the others were worried about whether the enemy's reinforcements would cause trouble here, but now it seems that it is not a problem at all......
"Huh-" Xu Shuang sat on the side of the mountain, looking at the embarrassed picture of the enemy army under the mountain, whistled, and smiled playfully, "Hmph, these fools, the traps set by this girl, they have all eaten them all......"
With his legs crossed and the wind blowing, the previous tension was suddenly gone. In his own opinion, these vicious enemies are not at all as terrible as he imagined, but they add a lot of fun to themselves.
"But if you really want to talk about it, these are all the credit of Brother Xiao, if he wasn't proficient in mechanical skills, he wouldn't have laid out a well-thought-out trap in such a short period of time......" Xu Shuang remembered the cause and effect of the matter, and secretly praised Xiao Tian, but remembering his "cold eyes" and changes to Xiao Tian along the way, Xu Shuang said silently guilty in his heart, "Seriously, I was prejudiced against Brother Xiao before, and I was not good ......"
Thinking of my own "paranoia" and the words of my friends, a wave of sadness and guilt came to my heart......
(in recall)......
On the day he left the camp, Xu Shuang did not let go of his "jealousy" towards Xiao Tian for a moment, but the persuasion of his friends made him have the idea of changing......
Xu Shuang paused, his angry expression turned sad, and slowly whispered: "I'm just sad, sad about the current situation...... In fact, in the troubled times of war, for us, there is no importance at all. My wish is very simple, that is, I hope we can go back to the old days and live happily and carefree together every day in the Wind Chaser School...... Even if Senior Sister Yi Yao really falls in love with another man, it's good to fall in love with Brother Xiao......"
"Little Shuang......" can be heard, Xu Shuangda from the heart, in fact, is not completely hateful to Xiao Tian, thinking of this, Wu Xian couldn't help but secretly said.
"But this kind of day can't go back - Chen Shijin has rebelled, Zheng Yuhua, who took good care of us before, has also rebelled, and even Senior Sister Yiyao has changed...... Finally, the sisters reunited, I just wanted to see Senior Sister Yi Yao's smiling face again, but for so many days, Senior Sister Yi Yao has never smiled once, just such a simple request...... None of them can be realized......" Xu Shuang wanted to cry tears of sadness, and he didn't know whether it was resentment or sadness in his heart, "We didn't do anything wrong, why did God do this to us? The common feelings of the world, the joy of reunion, ordinary people can get it, why can't we? Why ......?"
The more Xu Shuang cried, the more sad he became, and Wu Xian and Lu Tao were also sad on the side. But Wu Xian knows that Xu Shuang is unwilling to leave her senior sister from the bottom of her heart, regardless of the deep sisterhood, and she is not really jealous of Xiao Tian - what Xu Shuang wants is just a beautiful reunion of old friends, how can she catch up with the troubled times of war and different fate, and such a simple wish has not been achieved......
"Xiaoshuang, would you like to listen to me......" Wu Xian seemed to have thought of something, and said in a sudden and deep tone.
"Hmm......" Xu Shuang slowly raised his head and looked at Wu Xian's calm face, his eyes changed slightly.
"Maybe it's really fateful, not only us, Senior Sister Yi Yao and Big Brother Xiao have all encountered a low point in their lives......" Wu Xian's eyes firmed, "But the important thing is that we are all alive, as long as people are still there, there is a chance to realize their wishes - didn't you say that you want to see Senior Sister Li's smiling face again......?"
"Senior Sister Yi Yao...... ...... to us" Xu Shuang muttered, but he didn't know what Wu Xian wanted to say.
"Xiaoshuang, let me ask you a question...... Wu Xian continued to ask, his tone was particularly solemn, "If Brother Xiao can save Senior Sister Li and avenge Senior Sister Li's evil breath, are you willing to forgive Brother Xiao?"
Xu Shuang paused for a long time before slowly nodding slowly.
"Since this is the case, we should believe in Brother Xiao, and we should also believe in Senior Sister Li!" Wu Xian nodded and said firmly, "I believe that Brother Xiao also blames himself in his heart for the 'Mogu First Battle', and he is even more reluctant to care about Senior Sister Li in his heart...... But if he rescues Senior Sister Li, let's go back together, Xiaoshuang, you forgive him, won't everyone be happy? Senior Sister Li likes Brother Xiao, and I believe that if we forget the pain of defeat for the time being, we will all be together, and there will be no outsiders to do Gu, won't we be able to return to the days of the original Wind Chasing Sect?"
"I really...... Can you forgive that man......" Xu Shuang's heart was still swaying, and Xu Shuang was still undecided about Xiao Tian's approval or denial.
"You always think that Brother Xiao is not good, so Sister Xiaoshuang, you are prejudiced against him......" Lu Tao looked at Xu Shuang's heart shaken, and then persuaded him, "You don't believe Brother Xiao, you should always believe Sister Yi Yao......, right?
"But...... I ...... to that man" Xu Shuang still hesitated in his heart, as if he still couldn't break through that barrier in his heart for Xiao Tian, "At least now, I don't see his good ...... I want to know for myself the reason why Senior Sister Yi Yao likes him, if there is this opportunity......
"Then you should go back even more-" Seeing that it seemed like he was about to move, Wu Xian continued to "work harder" and said, "Xiaoshuang, you are just impulsive, go back quickly, we are alone, not to mention Brother Xiao, Senior Sister Li will be very worried when she wakes up-"
"I ...... Can you go back...... Goodbye that man......" Xu Shuang still muttered confused......
(In reality)......
"Perhaps, at that time, I should have believed in Brother Xiao, he is such a good person...... However, I'm so stupid...... "Thinking about how naïve he was, Xu Shuang didn't feel ashamed......
