Qin Xiuzhi understood his plan, but looking at the mountain next to him, he shook his head and replied, "No, you are dragged by me behind your back, it is impossible to jump to the nearby mountain, and the same is true for jumping off the dangerous peak. It's impossible to avoid their arrow formation." The warm breath that Shang Jun whispered just now still remained in his ear, reminding him, Qin Xiuzhi insisted lightly: "And... Shang Jun just told me not to leave here."
Hearing Qin Xiuzhi mentioning Shangjun, Xi Mu became furious, and swung his sword more and more fiercely, humming: "Fleeing without a fight, such a person is not worthy of your trust in him!"
Qin Xiuzhi smiled lightly and replied calmly, "There must be a reason for him to do this." No reason, he just believed.
Regardless of the death, the other party seems to be dying, and the four people fighting under the dangerous peak are also injured and exhausted. If this continues, they will only die together. Qin Xiuzhi said to Mu, whose breath was gradually becoming unstable, "You take them away first, the environment here is not conducive to you, see the opportunity and come and save me."
Just as Qin Xiuzhi was speaking, a sharp arrow pierced Ximu's right arm, blood spurted out immediately, the arrow remained on his arm, Ximu was unmoved, and replied in a deep voice: "Ximu leader. Life, swear to protect the prince!"
In other words, even if he died, he had to die before him. Qin Xiu was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
Just as Xi Mu's hand wielding the knife gradually became numb, there was a commotion on the other side, and he also stopped shooting arrows.
Qin Xiu supported Ximu, who was almost out of strength, and said anxiously, "Ximu, how are you?"
Ximu propped the ground with a knife, stood stubbornly, stared at the opposite side vigilantly, shook her head and replied, "I'm fine."
"What smell?" A pungent smell came from the opposite side, instantly filling the entire valley, what tricks did they want to play
Hearing the smell, Qin Xiuzhi said in shock, "Korose!"
He didn't finish his words, and suddenly a dozen people jumped out from the top of the opposite hill, holding dazzling torches in their hands. I saw that they threw the torches in their hands into the grass near the man in black, and the flames immediately shot into the sky. Before the man in black could figure out why there was kerosene flowing down from the top of the mountain, he was already in a sea of fire.
"what!"
The men in black who were on fire let out a tragic roar, and some jumped down the mountain road to avoid the flames, but the kerosene came along the mountain stream. sea of fire.
It turned out that the four people on the mountain road had already jumped to the dangerous peak when they stopped shooting arrows. Just when they were wondering, several long arrows flew out from the sea of fire on the opposite side. The arrows were precise. The arrow tip was embedded directly on the rock wall under the dangerous peak. The tail of the arrow was also tied with a thick hemp rope. He hurriedly jumped on the hemp rope and rushed towards the dangerous peak, the middle-aged man in the lead was the one in front.
Ximu rushed to the cliff and waved his machete, trying to cut the hemp rope. The other party was already prepared, and while walking, the arrow in his hand continued to be fired. This time, the target was Qin Xiuzhi!
"Master, be careful!" In order to protect him, Xi Mu had no choice but to slash arrows, seeing the middle-aged man getting closer and closer to them.
A flash of silver light flashed, like a slender ribbon floating in front of him, and seven or eight thick hemp ropes were immediately cut off. The man in black standing above lost his support, fell down the mountain road instantly, and was engulfed by the sea of fire.
Xi Mu turned to look, and behind him stood the "greedy for life and fear of death" man, Shang Jun, who he had just cursed.
"You?" Facing the man standing alone and smiling proudly in front of him, Xi Mu didn't know what to say.
Shang Jun retracted his soft sword and said with a smile: "I said, outnumbered, I have to go one step ahead and find someone to help." This is called "mantis catching cicadas, oriole behind"
Qin Xiuzhi walked up to him and said curiously, "Shangjun, but in such a short time, how could you..." In just a stick of incense, he was able to find someone and still have so much kerosene? He always believed that Shang Jun had his own plans, but he did not expect him to make such a big battle. Even if he was ten feet away, he could still feel the heat of the raging flames.
Shang Jun laughed and said: "Dragon Canyon is the world of thieves, they are everywhere." Feiying Village is not far behind Emperor Ye. After he helped Leng Lie defeat Xi Xie last time, Leng Lie became A lot of kerosene was transported in the sky, and he just used it.
Standing on the only peak that was not eroded by the fire, Shang Jun explained with a smile: "The reason why this place is called Emperor Ye is not only because of its most honorable location, and its disdain for the peaks, but also because it is independent from the center of the canyon. The most commonly used in the canyon is The first is the arrow formation, the second is the fire attack, and the third is the mud flow, and here is the only place where they can hide from these attacks, they think it is isolated and helpless, but in fact it is the best position."
Qin Xiuzhi looked around and saw that the verdant mountain was now ablaze with fire. No matter what kind of scenery, you can have a panoramic view here, but you will not be disturbed by it, and it really lives up to the name of the emperor.
"Shangjun, I lost 80 barrels of kerosene." Shangjun and Qin Xiuzhi looked at the scenery with good interest, and an indifferent male voice came coldly.
Shang Jun turned back in a funny way, facing the cold and ugly black face. Although his original hideous face improved a little after the treatment, it was a pity that he was full of evil spirits, so he was still the same hideous. Shang Jun smiled clearly: "I wrote it down, do you want silver taels or silk?"
Leng Lie replied without thinking, "I want new Longdan tea."
Shang Jun had a headache, "You really know how to pick!" How much is the new Longdan tea produced in a year? Everyone wants it, and Shu Qingzhen should continue to expand the tea garden!
He raised his eyebrows coldly, and replied coldly, "You've taught me well."
Their bickering stone boats were no surprise, but looking at the burning peaks on the opposite side, he asked worriedly: "Brother, how can the fire keep burning?" The woods in the Dragon Canyon were all burned out. , where do they still have a place to hide, and how can they make a living
Shang Jun replied confidently: "Don't worry, Shi Fang, this is the northwest wind direction, and if you burn it, it will be a smooth cliff, no vegetation, no kerosene, and the fire will soon be extinguished."
Are these people the bandits that Shang Jun just said? Their relationship with Shang Jun is extraordinary. Qin Xiuzhi stared at Shang Jun's profile and was a little puzzled. Whether it was an elegant and refined lady like Murong Shuqing, or the vicious mountain grass in front of him, he could be a confidant and make friends. What kind of charm does he have? ? For such a person, his heart will rise and fall for him, is it normal
Shang Jun felt Qin Xiuzhi's scorching gaze, looked at him, but found that his arm was scratched by arrows in the arrow rain just now, "Is your hand injured?"
Qin Xiuzhi smiled nonchalantly and replied, "It's okay, the skin is traumatized." Compared to admiring them, he shouldn't be hurt at all.
"Let's take a look." Shang Jun supported Qin Xiuzhi's right arm to check, the flesh was pierced by the arrow, and the blood leaked out little by little. Shang Jun was irritable for no reason. Looking at the mountain road that is still full of sparks, and looking at Qin Xiuzhi's wound, Shang Jun said in a deep voice, "It's cold, it seems that the fire will burn for a while, so let's go to your stockade and rest for a while."
Leng Lie thoughtfully looked at Shang Jun's extremely nervous face and replied, "Okay, I just happen to have something to tell you."
A group of people crossed the mountain behind them and walked towards the thin line of the sky.
In the Dragon Canyon, a huge fire burned into the sky for more than two hours. Because of this strange mountain fire, most of the sky was dyed red in the night, and it also affected the minds of the two army commanders.
EAST Main Account.
In the Dragon Canyon, the fire was lingering, and the burning was so unpleasant that the entire sky was rendered red. In the main tent, Xuanyuan Yi squinted slightly, looking at the red sky, his face still always cold and arrogant. The fire burned strangely, and the generals faintly felt that there was a lot of articles here, but they couldn't say why, so they had to silently wait for the report from the spies ahead. In the entire tent, it is estimated that only Pei Che was still in the mood to drink tea. In the quiet main tent, only Pei Che could be heard fiddling with the tea bowl.
"General." A major general in armor strode into the main tent before stepping into the camp, and immediately said, "The scout ahead reported that the fire in Long Canyon was not caused by forest fire, but by kerosene. It was very large, and almost the entire mountain was burned, and some burned skeletons were also found on the mountain road."
Arson? Sure enough, there was another secret, Xuanyuan Yi looked thoughtful. Pei Che put down the teacup and asked, "Do you know who did it?"
Li Ming shook his head and guessed: "I don't know, only the mountain fire and bones were left when we arrived. It is estimated that there are dozens of barrels of kerosene for such a big fire. Such a big movement, I think it was caused by nearby bandits. , there may be competition between the cottages for territory.”
Take a turf? Not quite like it! Before Pei Che had time to ask, Lei Yi, who was sitting at the end, said in a deep voice, "Probably not."
Li Ming turned his head and said to Lei Yi, "Why not? Dragon Canyon is famous for robbery and endless scuffles."
"Three years ago, it was indeed as you said. Later, Feiying Village defeated Dangerous Wolf Village, and other small villages also surrendered. Now Feiying Village is Dubalong Canyon. "
Lei Yi was a veteran of Linfeng Pass, and he was familiar with everything about Linfeng Pass. Pei Che believed what he said. Looking at Xuanyuan Yi, who was always silent, Pei Che guessed: "There is also a possibility that someone wants to capture the Dragon Canyon and conflict with Feiying Village? After all, the geographical location of the Dragon Canyon is very unique, and Cang Yue may also be attacking it. The idea. This fire may be related to Cang Yue!" He believed that Xuanyuan Yi must also have such concerns, otherwise he would not be so solemn.
As soon as Pei Che said this, the other generals in the tent whispered in twos and threes, Long Canyon can be said to be the barrier behind the garrison, if Cang Yue captures them, it will be a big disadvantage for them! The evil formation in front has not yet been broken, and if the enemy is attacked again, this battle will be really difficult to fight. Everyone looked at Lei Yi unconsciously, no one knew the situation of Long Canyon better than him. Lei Yi thought for a while, and finally replied cautiously: "Dragon Canyon has been occupied by bandits all the year round, the government has been besieged and suppressed many times, and some righteous people have also been besieged in the name of eliminating harm for the people, but the result is not that they can't find their old nest. , is defeated by their elusiveness, and if you want to capture the Dragon Canyon, there is only one word, it is difficult."
Although the more difficult it is to capture the Dragon Canyon, the better it is for them, but Li Ming still despises the bandits and believes that they are a group of scoundrels, "So arrogant? The Dragon Canyon is an important passage between Cangyue and Dongyu, and it is necessary to pass through trade transactions on weekdays. Bandits are running rampant like this, how do you survive? How come there are so many Cang Yue things in Linfeng Pass?" It was Lei Yi who wanted to rely on the old to sell the old, and it was an exaggeration!
Lei Yi heard something in Li Ming's words, but he didn't have a seizure. He still replied frankly: "Three years ago, the merchants were trembling in and out of the Dragon Canyon. It won't be so easy."
three years ago? Why does he keep saying three years ago? Pei Che seemed to have heard some clues and asked, "How can we trade now?"
"Because of one person, his goods can safely pass through the Dragon Canyon. The merchants who often travel between Cang Yue and Dongyu know that as long as his name is inserted, they can freely travel to and from the Dragon Canyon."
"Who?" Pei Che wondered, who has such ability, and what is the reason for the faint pride on Lei Yi's face
Lei Yi replied loudly: "Shangjun."
"It's Lord Shang again!" Pei Che and Xuanyuan Yi exchanged glances, and saw the same surprise in the other's eyes. It seems that this businessman is not an ordinary businessman. Not only is he strong in martial arts, he is proficient in Qimen techniques, but he can also travel freely in the Dragon Canyon where dragons and snakes are mixed! The most exaggerated thing is that it seems that the generals who have been stationed at Linfeng Pass have a kind of respect for this mysterious man named Shangjun. Why is this
Li Ming pouted and said with a smile: "Maybe he is the biggest bandit leader in the Dragon Canyon!" If the bandit is as powerful as Lei Yi said, how could he sell it to others? The most likely possibility is that the Shangjun was a bandit leader, who came down the mountain to pretend to be a good person, deceived the silver tael, and maybe he would directly make money and kill him.
It is not difficult to hear a few hints of joking in Li Ming's words, but Lei Yi retorted immediately: "Impossible. Feiying Village has been rooted in the Dragon Canyon for decades, and the owners of the previous generations are all Leng, and they have a relationship with the merchants. What's the matter? Besides, the Misty Villa always helps the commoners, and they are kind and generous, so they can't be a bandit! General Li doesn't understand, so please don't make random guesses." Not to mention that Shang Jun once rescued him, but only to say that in the past three years, he has Treating the plague, eliminating corrupt officials, helping the poor, whatever, is considered a great deed for the common people. Such people should not be slandered like this.
Originally dissatisfied with Li Ming's attitude, he slandered Shang Jun, and Lei Yi's tone was a little heavy when he retorted. Li Ming didn't feel that what he said was wrong, and confronted Lei Yi stubbornly, and replied, "That's not necessarily true. There are many people with human faces and animal hearts." Is Shang Jun really surnamed Shang? Maybe what kind of Shangjun they admire so much is actually the Leng family who kills people like hemp and has bad deeds!
Lei Yi's eyes widened in anger, and Li Ming stared back without showing weakness. Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Xuanyuan Yi, who had been silent all night, finally spoke, "Enough, since everything revolves around that man named Shang Jun, let's see him again. Can Misty Villa have a response?"
