"Aiming at us with a cannon? Is something wrong?"
Lin Wanrong took the binoculars to scan for a while. These artillery pieces are huge in size and have thick and long barrels. You can tell at a glance that they are improved varieties. Their power cannot be underestimated. He put down the binoculars, held Fairy Ning's little hand and said: " Sister, you promise me one thing, no matter what, you will not leave me."
Ning Yuxi lowered her head and said softly, "Why are you talking about this again? Is there something unusual?"
Lin Wanrong held her hand tightly, with a complicated expression on his face: "If I guessed right, it should be that Qingxuan invited Xu Zhiqing to come. Only Miss Xu, who is so good at calculating, can come up with this idea."
What he said was simple, Ning Yuxi's heart tightened, as if he had realized something: "You mean, Qingxuan and the others have already figured out a way?" Her eyes were a little dull, and she remained silent.
Lin Wanrong smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "So what if you think of a way? I will never let my sister leave my land, otherwise, I would rather not go down the mountain."
The fairy looked at him softly, the mist slowly rose, she shook her head and said softly: "Don't talk childishly. I am willing to gamble and admit defeat. If they really figure out a way, it will be the will of heaven and earth. I will lose." I am also willing. The barbarians from the north invaded, and Qingxuan is pregnant with Liujia. There are still many things waiting for you to do, so don't delay because of me."
People are really fickle. Thinking back to when I insisted on going my own way to trap him in the peak, but now I am worried that his ambition will be difficult to achieve. The feeling of this is definitely beyond the comprehension of outsiders. Ning Yuxi sighed slightly, and his expression became more and more determined stand up.
"Miss Xu, do you really have a way to rescue General Lin?" Looking at Qianjue Peak opposite, the shadow of the mountain is dim, and Lin Wanrong is not visible. Hu Bugui glanced at Xu Zhiqing who was standing in front of the cliff, and said worriedly.
Xu Zhiqing closed her eyes slightly, neither shaking her head nor nodding, she opened her eyes after a long time: "General Hu, have you prepared all the things I want?"
"It's ready, it's ready." Hu Bugui nodded hurriedly: "Cannons, ropes, iron chains. Our brothers worked together and moved up the mountain early in the morning, and nothing was left behind. Miss Xu, these things need to be specially made. , You can’t be too busy for two days. You must have started preparations a long time ago, Mr. Lin has such a confidant as you, really—”
"General Hu, don't misunderstand." Xu Zhiqing looked cold, and said icily: "I don't know any general Lin, and I didn't prepare anything specially. These are the spare places in the Shenji camp on weekdays, and have nothing to do with the person opposite. He Whether it's life or death, I don't care."
See how Miss Xu and General Lin were so sweet when they were in Shandong, why is it like this now? Hu Bugui stuck out his tongue secretly, nodded respectfully and said: "The general understands. Miss Xu came to this peak to watch the sunrise, and has nothing to do with General Lin."
Xu Zhiqing frowned slightly. She wanted to distinguish, but she didn't know what to say, so she simply shut up.
A group of small sedan chairs came hurriedly from the bottom of the mountain, Hu Bugui saw it clearly, and said with great joy: "The general's wife is back, Miss Xu, please discuss it with her—Miss Xu, Miss Xu—"
Xu Zhiqing's footsteps were in a hurry, her clothes fluttering. As if she didn't hear his words, she hurried to the distance without turning her head. Hu Bugui looked at the hurrying sedan chair, then glanced at Xu Zhiqing, Seems to understand what's going on, secretly worrying for Lin Wanrong, it's really embarrassing for General Lin, if I were him, I'd rather stay longer on Juefeng, it's safer that way.
Before the sedan chair stabilized, Xiao Qingxuan rushed down, followed by Qiaoqiao and a pretty little girl.
"Brother Hu, what's going on, why are there so many cannons?!" Qiaoqiao couldn't wait to ask, Miss Xiao didn't speak, and her beautiful eyes were full of suspicion.
"I tell the two ladies that these cannons were brought to the mountain by Miss Xu herself, and they probably have a lot to do with rescuing General Lin."
"Is Elder Sister Xu here?" Qiaoqiao was delighted to hear that, "Where is she? Why didn't I see her?"
"This," Hu Bugui was puzzled for a while, not knowing how to explain it. Xiao Qingxuan glanced at the artillery clusters in the distance, and faintly saw a slender figure in a blue shirt busy among them, and Luo Ning was following her She never left her side. Miss Xiao nodded and smiled: "Don't make things difficult for Brother Hu, I'll go find Miss Xu by myself."
The pretty girl who was following Xiao Qingxuan glanced into the distance, and said timidly: "Sister Princess, where is the villain in our family? Why can't you see him?"
"Second Miss, don't worry." Qiaoqiao grabbed Xiao Yushuang's little hand and said softly, "Brother is on the opposite peak, he will come down later, we just wait here."
Xiao Yushuang looked up, and saw that Qianjuefeng was so high and tough, with steep sides, like a straightened steel knife that went straight into the sky. She was dumbfounded, and whispered: "Sister Qiaoqiao, how did the villain climb so high? But there is no such thing.”
"He's very capable." Miss Xiao answered, with a bitter smile on her face, she pondered for a moment, then walked straight towards Xu Zhiqing.
Xu Zhiqing was wearing a light blue water shirt, with a thin piece of local hair tied casually in her hair. Her figure was tall and graceful, with graceful curves, just like a blooming rose, looking towards the opposite peak. Xiao Qingxuan shook her head and sighed softly, This Miss Xu is mature and gorgeous, but also has a stubborn taste, which is very attractive.
"Sister, you're back." Luo Ning turned around and saw Ms. Xiao, her face was overjoyed, and she quickly put down her work: "Sister Xu is here, she has a way to pick up elder brother—"
"Ning'er—" Xu Zhiqing hastily cut off Luo Ning's words, bowed to Xiao Qingxuan, and knelt down: "Minister Xu Zhiqing, see Princess Izumo."
"Sister Xu, why is she born?" Xiao Qingxuan helped her up with a smile, "It's not an outsider. You and Lin Lang went up the mountain together in the past, and the three of us have gone through hardships together."
Xu Zhiqing's eyelids drooped, and without looking at Miss Xiao, she said calmly: "There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and etiquette cannot be broken. Please don't bring up the past, Princess, Zhiqing is no longer the Zhiqing of the day, and many things have been forgotten. .”
Ning'er hid behind Ms. Xu, stuck out her tongue at Xiao Qingxuan secretly, shook her head slightly, and Ms. Xiao smiled and said, "My sister is really free and easy, and my younger sister admires and admires me the most. I don't know where my sister is.
Can you teach me the method of palming the ground and forgetting, so that I can forget about this annoying husband."
Xu Zhiqing gritted her teeth: "The princess was joking, you and the son-in-law love each other, and you envy others. How can you be willing to forget him? If you really want to forget, Zhiqing also has a stupid way to copy his name on a piece of paper. Needle-punched ten thousand times a day, heartbroken. I no longer care about it, no longer suffer, and naturally forget it.”
"This method is really unique." Xiao Qingxuan said quietly: "When I first met Lin Lang in the past, if I had been taught by my sister, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the troubles I have today."
Miss Xu and Miss Xiao, one is extremely talented and proud by nature, while the other is graceful and generous, mother-in-law, every word has its own meaning, and neither of them wants to fall behind.
Listening to the two elder sisters fighting, Ning'er blinked, not knowing who to lean towards. He hurriedly took the hands of the two and said with a smile: "What can't be forgotten, if it's like the two elder sisters. My elder brother and I have long since lost sight of each other. Fate, tell me, don’t let go of what you like, let go, you will never like it—Sister Zhiqing, tell me quickly, how to save elder brother, you are so familiar with him—”
Xu Zhiqing interrupted her, and said in a calm tone: "Ning'er, you may have misremembered. I have a casual acquaintance with the person opposite, and I can't say I am familiar with it. Today I was ordered by Old General Li to come to assist the princess. That's all."
Ning'er glanced at Xiao Qingxuan, and smiled helplessly. Miss Xiao nodded and smiled, "So that's how it is. Younger sister thanked older sister for her kindness. But I don't know what my sister can do to help us bring back my husband smoothly?"
Xiao Qingxuan's status is noble, so she had to answer her question, Xu Zhiqing sighed slightly: "You don't need to ask me, the princess, the man on the cliff opposite me is hundreds of times smarter than me, if you talk to him, he will tell you the way. "
Xiao Qingxuan smiled wryly and shook his head: "It's not that you don't know his temper. You can't force him to do things he doesn't want to do with a knife. From the looks of him, I'm afraid he wished he could stay longer in Qianjue Peak. Deng Tuzi, you're mad at me."
There seemed to be something unspeakable in Miss Xiao's words, Xu Zhiqing said lightly: "If that's the case, then I'll try, but it may not succeed, especially if he doesn't want to—"
"It should be willing." Tears suddenly appeared in Miss Xiao's eyes, and she held Ning'er's little hand tightly. When she said this, she was not quite sure.
"That's good." Xu Zhiqing gritted her teeth: "We'll start now."
Now? Both Luo Ning and Xiao Qingxuan were taken aback. Miss Xu was so impatient. The two looked around, and immediately felt relieved. They saw all kinds of strange tool chains piled up on the cliff, many of them It was specially customized, and Xu Zhiqing had obviously been preparing for a long time.
Seeing the gazes of Luo Ning and Miss Xiao falling on her at the same time, Xu Zhiqing hurriedly turned her head and said in a trembling voice, "Please show me, princess."
"Lin Lang, Lin Lang—" a soft voice suddenly came from the huge bamboo tube opposite, Lin Wanrong leaned on the fairy's soft body, stroking her delicate waist with his big hands, and fell into a sound sleep.
"Wake up," Ning Yuxi gently pushed on his waist, her delicate face flushed slightly: "Someone called you
"Who is it?" Lin Wanrong yawned, and arched her head against the soft belly of the fairy, reluctantly opened her eyes, and heard Qingxuan's voice coming along with the wind: "Master, Lin Lang, you are the first stone Go hide in the cave, and I will welcome you down the mountain immediately."
Cave? Lin Wanrong and Ning Xianzi looked at each other, could it be that Qingxuan had clairvoyance, how did she know there was a cave on Qianjue Peak
"What did Qingxuan want us to do in the cave?" Ning Yuxi asked quietly.
Lin Wanrong took her hand and walked in, said with a smile: "Never mind her, Qingxuan won't harm us anyway, so what if we enter the bridal chamber again?"
"Nonsense." Ning Yuxi hit him, his face was bright red. The two of them just stood at the entrance of the cave when they heard a loud bang from the opposite side, and a faint smoke rose, a huge iron ball, with a mournful howl It spun rapidly, drew a beautiful arc, and flew straight to Qianjue Peak.
Ning Yuxi was startled, her face pale: "What is Qingxuan doing?"
"She's throwing the red line!" Lin Wanrong said with a smile, embracing Ning Yuxi's soft and delicate body, with no panic on her face.
The iron ball flew for a while, and was still a few zhang away from Qianjue Peak, but finally lost its strength, and fell against the rock wall. The tens of thousands of soldiers who watched, suddenly let out a chorus of sighs.
Xiao Qingxuan was so nervous that his palms were covered with beads of sweat. He looked at Miss Xu who was holding the cannon, and said cautiously, "Sister Xu, are you sure? Don't hurt Lin Lang."
Xu Zhiqing wiped the sweat from her forehead, and bit her red lips tightly: "Princess, don't worry, I won't hurt him. Come again—"
She hurriedly walked to the front of the second cannon. She commanded the sergeant to adjust the orientation, calibrate the angle, and calculate the distance.
"It's no wonder that sister Zhiqing took the pains to bring ten cannons up the mountain, they are all spares." Ning'er held Qiaoqiao's little hand tightly, her expression suddenly dawning.
Xiao Yushuang quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, grabbed Xiao Qingxuan's sleeve, and said timidly, "Sister Princess, did you scare that bad guy? He has never suffered from such hardships."
"Don't worry." Miss Xiao reassured, "Lin Lang is a man who leads troops to fight in battles. A few cannon shots won't scare him away."
"Boom", there was another loud noise. The iron ball flew out with a whistling roar, and everyone held their breaths to concentrate. The iron ball drew an arc, but fell from the farthest side of Qianjue Peak .
Ning Yuxi's face was pale, and she snuggled into Lin Wanrong's arms tightly, holding on to his sleeves tightly: "Little thief, they really thought of a way, I, I—"
Lin Wanrong patted her on the shoulder and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, even if the rope is set up, we will go down the mountain together."
Before the words fell, the third cannon rang out, this time. The iron ball seemed to have eyes, whistling and whistling, and it was falling on Qianjue Peak, causing the mountain to tremble slightly. There are still a few feet away.
"I've hit it, I've hit it!" The sergeants up and down the opposite mountain cheered in unison.
"Lin Lang, quickly pull up the rope on the iron ball!" Miss Xiao's voice was filled with great joy.
Looking at the iron ball that fell into the face, Lin Wanrong was silent, joy and sadness welled up in his heart, hesitating, but he didn't know what to do.
Ning Yuxi leaned in his arms, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, tears fell down, she suddenly jumped up, and went straight out of the cave, Lin Wanrong didn't hold her back.
After a few ups and downs, Fairy Ning arrived in front of the iron ball. There was a small hole pierced in the iron ball, and a length of crystal clear silk thread was firmly tied, about as thick as a pinky finger, faintly shining with white light. .
She hesitated for a while, then gritted her teeth, her small hands trembling, slowly loosened the silk thread, and pulled it lightly. This silk is extremely thin but full of toughness, it is really ingenious to fly out with the iron ball hidden in the barrel of the gun. The silk thread is pulled slowly , pulling the thick end of the rope on the opposite peak, more than a hundred soldiers slowly let the rope move along with the silk thread to the opposite peak inch by inch.
"Sister, why are you so stupid?" Lin Wanrong saw her heartbroken, and hugged her into his arms at once. Ning Yuxi's tears fell silently, and he muttered to himself: "I lost, I lost, little thief, I lost —”
"So what if you lose, what if you win?" Lin Wanrong said loudly: "Is there anyone in the world who can separate me from you? Today I will go down the mountain with you, let's see who dares to stop us?"
Ning Yuxi didn't say a word, she pulled her small hand quickly, and the end of the rope moved quickly.
Lin Wanrong was in a hurry, pressed her little hand, and said firmly: "Sister, you promise me to go down the mountain together, and we will set up this rope. If you don't agree, I will throw this rope down."
He snatched the silk thread and was about to throw it out, but Ning Yuxi had quick eyesight and quick hands, and hurriedly held him down, tears fell like rain, and he choked up and said, "Little thief, you are killing me."
Lin Wanrong sighed slightly: "If you leave my sister here alone, it will kill me."
Ning Yuxi choked speechlessly, the mist in his eyes slowly rose, and suddenly looked at him with a sad smile: "I would rather take my life than yours! Little thief, I will go down the mountain with you, and let the world laugh at me , Curse me, slander me, slander me, annoy me, hate me, I will be the most shameless woman in this world."
"Really?" Lin Wanrong suddenly jumped up.
Ning Yuxi's face turned pale, her long eyelashes trembled, and tears flowed down her face: "Little thief, I know you before, why have I ever lied to you. Uh—"
A big fiery mouth covered her cherry lips, and the hot and humid feeling made her tremble in her heart. She hugged Lin Wanrong's arms tightly, her body was as limp as mud, she desperately melted her breasts and buttocks into his arms, and pulled his big hands into her On the soft waist, with teardrops all over her cheeks, she responded like crazy.
Seeing that the rope stopped moving, Luo Ning asked in surprise, "What's wrong, big brother? Why didn't you pull the rope?"
Xiao Qingxuan put away the binoculars, his face was red, ashamed and annoyed, feeling helpless in his heart, and said powerlessly: "He has more important things to do, this bastard—"
"Still pulling the rope?" Finally freed from his wet kiss. Ning Yuxi snorted, her brows and eyes were flushed, and her face was as rosy as if water could be squeezed out. She looked at him with shame and annoyance, charming and charming. kind.
Lin Wanrong laughed twice, the two of them pulled the silk together, the speed of the rope at the other end accelerated countless times, and within a short while, they had reached Qianjue Peak.
The rope was as thick as an arm, and Lin Wanrong tied the end of the rope firmly to the tree. Ning Yuxi frowned and said, "No matter how thick this hemp rope is, it can't support your weight. It's not strong."
Lin Wanrong grinned: "No hurry, no hurry, there's more to come."
While talking, he suddenly saw that the other end of the rope was gradually raised up. He took out the telescope and looked at it, but saw a long thick log erected on the opposite peak. A quarter of the thick log was covered by a The tall pillars are firmly wedged on the top, making a seesaw of unequal length. A pulley is placed at the front end of the thick wood, and the rope is released from the pulley. Dozens of soldiers press the lever together at the other end. The pulley stands up high, and the rope becomes high on the opposite side and low on this side.
This girl Xu Zhiqing really knows a lot. She even used the principle of leverage, Lin Wanrong nodded and smiled.
"Brother, you caught it." The voice rang again, but it was Ning'er's voice. Two special wooden chairs and a big wheel with a handle slid along the rope. Xu Zhiqing directed all the soldiers to slowly press the lever, Adjust the sliding speed of the wooden chair, neither fast nor slow.
When the wooden chair arrived, Lin Wanrong glanced at it. Needless to say, the chair was solid and reliable. The chair was densely tied with silk threads, drawn into a very firm ring, and wrapped around the rope, presumably for sliding.
Put the reel in the air and fix it, tie the thick rope to the reel, slowly turn the handle, the end of the thick rope drives a thick subway chain, hundreds of sergeants slowly pull and release it.
Ning Yuxi suddenly realized that the silk belt with the thick rope and the thick rope with the iron chain are really ingenious ideas, and even this wheel has great uses. Because the distance between the two peaks is hundreds of feet, the iron chain will be pulled between the two peaks naturally. It takes a lot of strength to pull it down, and this wheel is specially used to save effort.
"Who came up with this method?" Ning Yuxi exclaimed silently: "Everything is so subtle, so exquisite. Little thief, you once said that you can come back from where you came from. Is this the method?"
"Almost." Lin Wanrong said with a smile, "It's just that Ms. Xu's work is a little better than I imagined. I underestimated her before. I hope she can have these wonderful ideas on the battlefield in the future. "
Ning Yuxi said softly: "Are you really going north to fight Hu? When will you go?"
"According to the time, it should be a few days. Life is really wonderful, I never dreamed that one day I would take the initiative to ask to go to the battlefield." Rong said with emotion.
Ning Yuxi hummed, smiled and said nothing. The reel slowly turned, and a long subway cable spanned between the two peaks, like a passage between the sky.
Looking at the trembling subway cable, Lin Wanrong smiled when he remembered the process: "Life is like a cycle. From the end to the beginning, I can't tell which is the sky and which is the world?"
"Where is the sky, and where is the world?" Ning Yuxi muttered to herself, her eyelashes trembling, and two crystal clear teardrops fell silently...
