"Oh?" Fan Yuzhi heard Tianqian's words, and immediately looked at him carefully, just waiting for Tianqian to continue.

:Le:Text:Novel 3w.し Wxs520.CoM "General, please see, the sun on the horizon is still more than a foot high, but this place is already covered by a dark curtain, so this is not a sign of nightfall." However, there has been no rain here for a long time, and the dark curtain will naturally not be covered by dark clouds. ”

"What is that? that can cover this bright and clear world?"

Fan Yuzhi listened to Tianqian's narration, but became even more suspicious.

"If I am right, this is caused by the black curtain formed by the yellow sand in the sky, and it is difficult to find the right sense of direction here, and if you fall into the darkness, you are afraid that you will fall into a fog, and it will be difficult to walk out, and it seems that something more terrible is about to fall in this dry sea valley. ”

Tianqian looked at the increasingly thick black curtain in the sky, and couldn't help but worry.

"Ah, how is that good?"

Fan Yuzhi saw that Tianqian had a worried look on his face, and couldn't help but ask even more worriedly.

After thinking for a moment, Tianqian continued to speak: "The general should quickly give an order, ordering the three armies not to move around on their own, and to connect with ropes in front and back, and to go together synchronously, and with Mingjin as the signal, if Mingjin remembers, everyone must gather together as soon as possible to prevent them from being separated in this maze valley." ”

"Okay, according to the words of the Tianqian brothers, the whole army will march in a group, and Mingjin will be the number!"

Fan Yuzhi followed Tianqian's suggestion and gathered all the soldiers and civilians together, and the leader was led by ropes, and the latter stood in line one by one, holding the ropes, leaning on each other, and moving forward one after another.

This method worked, and under the guidance of the leader, the team of more than 1,000 elite soldiers moved forward with difficulty and slowness, but not a single one of them dispersed.

But the road ahead became more and more difficult and terrifying, and after the whole army had walked for about half an hour, the canopy became heavier and heavier, and the light of this valley became lower and lower due to the layers of wild sand, and it was almost to the point where it was impossible to see the road clearly.

And at this moment, in the cold and miserable confusion around, as if a group of ghosts were crying, and bursts of whining cries came and went.

And the wind around him was even more fluttering and dancing, as if he was crying out for this group of unjust souls trapped and dying here.

In such a terrible situation, the soldiers who had already taken the lead were so frightened and panicked that they had no heart to distinguish the direction at all, and only cared about doing everything possible to avoid the terrible cry of the ghost crying wolf.

At this time, the war horse was also panicked, as if trying to escape, and pulled the leading sergeant to pieces.

"Dangdang!"

Suddenly, the rear army rang out three golden sounds, and everyone in the whole army heard that it was Fan Yuzhi's order, so according to the previous agreement, the front army moved back, and the front army moved forward, and after a while, the whole army gathered together.

"What's wrong, General?"

Yang Duanhe led the army to hear the sound, and when he saw Fan Yuzhi, he immediately asked eagerly.

But before Fan Yuzhi could speak, Tianqian replied with a very heavy expression: "General Yang, I'm afraid that we have come around here in a circle and returned to the same place." ”

"What? How is this possible?"

Yang Duanhe listened to Tianqian's words, and didn't believe that what Tianqian said was true, and explained again and again, "We obviously chose the direction of the sundial and kept moving forward, how could it be possible to return to the same place." ”

"The direction of the sundial was good before, but after a long time, the sundial also shifted, and the darkness of the sky just covered the daylight, only a trace of light was revealed, we thought that the place with light was the direction of the sundial, but we didn't know that it was just the light refracted by the light in a corner of the declination. So we kept marching in the wrong direction, walked for half an hour, and returned to the same place. ”

Tianqian saw Yang Duanhe's face full of disbelief, so he explained.

"It's... How is this possible?!"

Although Yang Duanhe listened to Tianqian's explanation, he still couldn't believe what he said.

Seeing that he still didn't believe it, Tianqian slowly stirred the yellow sand on the ground, and after the sand was peeled off, Tianqian picked up a piece of leather armor from the ground and said: "This is the fragment left on the leather armor of the soldier I rescued before who was attacked by the Dementor Snake, probably when I pulled him quickly, his clothes fell off after they were cut on the ground." ”

After saying that, Tianqian continued to stir with the yellow sand, and this time he found a black thing, and he picked it up, pinched it with his hand, and continued: "This is horse manure that has just been dried on the surface, and its interior is still wet, which is what the horses left when our army paused here before. ”

Seeing these ironclad evidence, Yang Duanhe finally had to believe what Tianqian said.

But while he believed what Tianqian said, he also felt the attack of fear.

"W-what can I do about this?"

Yang Duanhe asked with unprecedented fear, very uneasy.

Of course, he was not the only one who was flustered, but all the mediocre soldiers who gathered together to listen to what Tianqian said.

Everyone began to speculate wildly, saying everything, and some even thought that it was a ghost at work.

All of a sudden, the somewhat uneasy mood of the whole army quickly spread, causing an uproar.

Although Tianqian discovered this terrible danger, he was unable to answer Yang Duanhe's question for a while, because the horror brought by this dry sea valley had far exceeded his expectations.

"Report, General, someone just stuffed this object to me and said that I should report it to the General. ”

Just when everyone was confused, suddenly the scout came to shout again, and handed the things in his hand to Fan Yuzhi as he spoke.

Fan Yuzhi was very surprised to take the scout's report, and after reading it carefully, it turned out to be a rolled up cloth, and after slowly unfolding it, he found that it was another secret letter, and there were only four words on it: "Old Horse Knows the Way"

。

After reading these words, Fan Yuzhi handed the secret letter to Tianqian, and then hurriedly asked the scout, "Where is the person who sent the letter?"

"General, this person's whereabouts are fast, and the light is blocked by the twilight, and he has not seen it clearly for a while, he... And he was gone. ”

The scout bowed his head and whispered in reply, his face embarrassed.

At this time, after Tianqian saw the secret letter in Fan Yuzhi's hand, he suddenly took the secret letter quickly and carefully checked the handwriting on it.

Because the font on this secret letter is so familiar to him.

Mystery Man!

The mystery man has reappeared!

This thought flashed through his mind, but suddenly as if he had been stabbed by something, he immediately took out something from his bosom and compared it, he carefully looked at the comparison between the two for a long time, and said in his mouth: "I see"

。

"What is that?"

Fan Yu was very puzzled when he saw Tianqian's actions.

"Do you remember when I was in the palace of King Jiuyi yesterday, why did I ask him for horses when I agreed to King Jiuyi's expedition to Huzhu?"

Faced with Fan Yuzhi's question, Tianqian did not rush to answer, but asked Fan Yuzhi instead.

"Oh, by the way, you did ask the King of Jiuyi for horses to march and fight, but isn't this because we lost our horses all the way to Jiuyi, so we asked for some horses to replenish?"

Fan Yuqi's answer was obviously not the real answer that Tianqian was asking for, he only shook his head slightly and said: "The terrain around Huzhu is precipitous, even if there are horses to attack the city, it won't play a big role, the reason why I wanted those horses at that time was because this mysterious person passed it on to me when I held the King of Jiuyi hostage." ”

Tianqian said, and handed the things in his hand to Fan Yuzhi.

Fan Yuzhi took the thing handed over by Tianqian and looked at it carefully, but saw that it was a piece of sheepskin that had been polished and transparent, and the word "horse" was written on the sheepskin: "horse"

。

"Is this—?"

Fan Yuzhi looked at it for a long time, and still asked puzzled.

"At the time, I didn't pay much attention to it, but just asked for some horses according to the above meaning, but now it seems that he has prepared for us the only way to get out of the valley of the dry sea. ”

Tianqian continued to explain to Fan Yuzhi.

"A way out of the valley of the dry sea?"

Fan Yuzhi obviously still couldn't react, just frowned and didn't understand.

"Yes, the only way to get out of this dry sea is to use the old horse to know the way. ”

As Tian Qian was speaking, he casually pointed to the group of frightened horses, and said slowly, "This group of war horses has followed the Jiang tribe of the King of Jiuyi several times to conquer the fox bamboo, and they must have passed through this dry sea valley many times, and the horses are more spiritual than humans, and their recognition and memory of the position is far greater than that of humans, so only they know the way out of this valley." They had been in a state of fright, and they wanted to flee one after another, but they must have felt that we had been circling around death, so they made such a movement. ”

"I see. ”

After listening to Tianqian's narration, Fan Yuqi and everyone understood that with Tianqian's inferences, the hearts that had been hanging before had settled down a lot.

"Without further ado, the general should quickly order the whole army to take the horses as the guide, and everyone should follow the pace of the horses, otherwise after the unitary time, if the night really comes, I am afraid that the soldiers will be unable to withstand the cold here. ”

After Yang Duanhe understood the reason, he immediately admonished Fan Yu.

"Well, Brother Yang has a point,"

Fan Yuzhi listened to Yang Duanhe's words, nodded very approvingly, and then ordered the army, "Pass the order: the whole army is guided by the horse's hooves and marches with the horses!"

"No!"

The army received Fan Yuzhi's order, and followed it.

At this time, there are still many questions that have not been solved.

He originally thought that this mysterious person was a member of the Jiuyi King clan, because when he was in the Jiuyi Palace, that mysterious person had secretly transmitted a message to him, but now in this chaotic dry sea and misty valley, the mysterious person actually showed traces again.

Not only is this man very familiar with the situation here, but why is he so unsure of the prophet, then who is he?

This question haunted him like a mystery and made him unable to settle down for a long time.

Fan Yuzhi's 1,000 elite soldiers followed the guidance of the mysterious man, used old horses to lead the way, and finally walked out of the valley of the dry sea before the unitary time.

At this time, the sky has just begun to close, the sun has set in the west, and a new moon has climbed the treetops.

Since it was only a crescent moon, the light was not sufficient, and apart from being able to see a few vague figures approaching Fox Bamboo City, it was impossible to distinguish anything else.

"General, there is Fox Bamboo City in front, we might as well leave all the war horses here, and only lead the elite soldiers to go quietly, so that we can take advantage of Chiligu's reaction and catch him off guard. ”

Yang Duanhe saw that the whole army had already entered the outside of Fox Bamboo City, so he suggested to Fan Yuzhi.

"Well, Brother Yang is very serious about this, I don't know what Brother Tianqian thinks?"

Although Fan Yuzhi felt that Yang Duanhe's strategy was good, for the sake of insurance, he still consulted Xia Tianqian's opinion again.

"General Yang's plan is valuable because he can surprise the enemy, and the general might as well give it a try. ”

Tianqian also agreed with Yang Duanhe's approach, so he nodded in affirmation.

"Okay, then according to the opinion of the Tianqian brothers, the order will be passed on: everyone will stop the drum and attack the city with the wall!"

After Fan Yuzhi gave an order, the three thousand elite soldiers left all their baggage in place, only brought blades and ropes, and marched towards Fox Bamboo City together.

When they arrived at the foot of the fox bamboo city, it was almost time to arrive, and the fox people at this time were ready to put out the fire and rest as usual, after a period of carnival.

Of course, they did not expect that a foreign enemy would quietly invade their city, so even the sentry in charge of the sentry on weekdays was so tired that he fell asleep on the sentry post after the joy.

According to Fan Yuzhi's instructions, the elite soldiers were divided into teams of ten people, each team had a coin in their mouths, and hid all the drum racks, so as not to make any movement and sound, but to act according to the captain's gestures.

Use the rope claw to hook the head of the city, and then climb the rope with your bare hands, and enter the fox bamboo city.

This is exactly the order given by Fan Yuzhi: to stop the drum and attack the city with a wall.

At this time, Chi Ligu would not have expected that this group of foreigners who jumped out of nowhere would be able to successfully pass through the Dry Sea Misty Valley, and had already broken into his fox bamboo city unknowingly.

"Boom-boom-boom-"

The guards of Fox Bamboo City have not been attacked by any enemy army for many years, and they have long been accustomed to this kind of leisurely life, and at this time, with the sound of blood spurting out after the throat was cut, they have unconsciously gone down to the Yellow Spring in their sleep.

Even more tragic is that they didn't have time to let out a scream before they died.

"Oh no, no, my lord!

Chirigu was drunk in his sleep, when he suddenly heard a shout in his ear, and immediately sat up, but he saw a soldier at the head of the bed shouting to him with a very panicked expression, and under the bed stood a group of disheveled, gray-faced tribesmen.
