"Have you seen He... Hemo?" Duan Ling asked Yao Jing.
Yao Jing said, "Didn't you go out to work?"
Duan Ling thought about it for a second, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as his guess, and asked again, "What did my uncle say?"
Yao Jing looked at Duan Ling in surprise and nodded. Duan Ling asked again, "Where did he say I went?"
Yao Jing frowned, and Duan Ling suddenly noticed in the mirror that he was sloppy all over, knowing that Yao Jing had begun to have doubts, but Yao Jing was going to marry Helianbo or an entertainment official, the only one who would not look at Bian Ling. The white one is her. Duan Ling simply said: "Please help me tell Hemo that at sunset, I will wait for him under the Luoxia slope outside Tongguan."
"The son of Dang Xiang went out this morning." Yao Jing replied, "With a lot of people, General Bian was afraid that he would regret his marriage, so he asked specifically, and Uncle Deng told me."
Duan Ling wondered what was the reason for this? Hastily asked: "What happened next?"
Yao Jing said: "Later he just said that he was bored in the city, went out hunting, and didn't know when he would come back."
Duan Ling's secret passage is bad, did Helianbo leave the city spontaneously? Bian Lingbai came to persuade, it should not be a trap set up in advance.
"Then... can we find Mr. Fei Hongde?" Duan Ling asked again.
This is okay, Yao Jing nodded, and Duan Ling asked her to speak. After a short while, a carriage came to the back of the alley, Feihon pulled the curtains open, took a look, and Duan Ling hurriedly got into the carriage.
"I knew that guy came back alone, and he must have an inside story." Fei Hongde immediately broke out in a cold sweat after hearing Duan Ling's retelling, and muttered, "God has eyes and didn't let you fall to your death under the cliff. "
Only then did Duan Ling know that it turned out that as soon as Bian Lingbai came back, Fei Hongde found out that "Zhao Rong" was gone, so he knew something was wrong. Bian Lingbai took the initiative to explain that this cheap nephew was sent by him to Jiangzhou to deliver a letter, and it was stable. Live in the court. But he went out without warning and kept everything from him. How could it be possible
Fei Hongde's first guess was that Duan Ling was killed by Bian Lingbai outside the wilderness, but he didn't know whether it was because of revealing his identity or because of something else. He immediately found Helianbo and told him that Duan Ling was in danger.
Helianbo's expression must have been very worried at that time, and even Fei Hongde could sense from his aura that his relationship with Duan Ling must not be simple.
But Fei Hongde was very acquainted and stopped asking questions, while Helianbo left the city with a small number of men to find Duan Ling's whereabouts.
"I specially showed him the way," Fei Hongde said, "and told him to beware of the guards stationed there by the border commander."
"We can't wait for Wu independence any longer." Duan Ling said, "We must act as soon as possible."
Fei Hongde pondered for a long time and said, "It's hard to do things with us alone. Young master, listen to my advice..."
"No." Duan Ling replied without thinking.
Fei Hongde's brows furrowed, seemingly displeased, but Duan Ling's next sentence shocked him and dispelled all thoughts of persuasion.
"I don't want to wait for others to help." Duan Ling said seriously, "Even if I'm guarding an isolated city, I can't just sit in the city and wait hard. Those who want to save others first save themselves, I don't want to, I don't want to. …”
Duan Ling recalled the last seven days of a year ago countless times. If it were now, he would definitely not wait for his father in the city to come over. Instead, he would pick up his bow, arrow and sword in advance, follow the soldiers out of the city to kill one pass, and then look for him. his father.
He has grown in time, but some people, some things, will not wait for him anymore.
"I believe in Wu Du." Duan Ling thought of this and said to Fei Hongde, "I believe both in his ability and in his heart. I started early, not because I didn't trust him, but I also wanted to go for myself. effort."
Fei Hongde smiled slightly and said, "Since this is the case, what is the safe way for the young master? If you can trust the old man, you might as well say it. Let's go into the details."
Duan Ling replied: "I want to poison him and create the illusion that he was bitten by poisonous insects."
"Can it be done?" Fei Hongde said.
Duan Ling nodded affirmatively, Fei Hongde pondered for a moment, and then said: "Then maybe it is feasible."
After discussing for a while, the two decided to act separately. Duan Ling went to find Helianbo, while Fei Hongde went back to numb Bian Lingbai's carelessness. If you don't start early, I am afraid there are other variables.
"Very good plan." Fei Hongde said, "I'll go back and prepare."
Duan Ling borrowed a horse from Fei Hongde and went out of the city before night fell.
At the same time, Wu Du Richeng for 400 li, left Xichuan Road, entered the official road leading to Tongguan, and galloped for a long time. He was not tired at all, but became more and more energetic, thinking that he was locked in the palace. For too long, once he leaves the stable, he returns to the sky like a flying eagle and gallops freely.
If there is no accident, it will take another day and a half to reach Tongguan. Wu Du counts that time is enough, so he let Ben Xiao drink water by the stream for a while and touch its mane.
"You are spiritual." Wu Duchao said to Ben Xiao.
The horse lowered its head to drink water, and the water reflected the reflection of one person and one horse.
"But why do you dislike the prince so much?" Wu Du asked Benxiao again.
The horse couldn't answer, and turned to look for grass to eat.
"You know I'm going to save people, don't you?" Wu Du said again.
Wanli Benxiao actually understood, maybe he rushed to Shangjing when he was with Li Jianhong at the end, just to save his little master. But in Wu Du's impression, maybe he didn't see his little master in the thousands of miles away, maybe after the capital city was broken, and even after thousands of miles, he returned to Xichuan, this humane horse is still thinking about what Li Jianhong gave him the final mission.
"Prince, you have been rescued." Wu Du said in Ben Xiao's ear, "I'm here to find someone irrelevant, but anyway, thank you."
Wu Du was still somewhat apologetic in his heart. He suddenly understood the reason why Ben Xiao did not accept the prince. He thought it was because there were still memories of Li Jianhong in Ma's heart. He simply thought that the people who should be saved were not saved. arrive. So it temporarily took orders from Lang Junxia, but when he was living in the palace, he was anxious and restless, thinking that the little master had not received it yet.
This time, I was willing to be my own mount and follow him out, which is why, in the final analysis, I still used this loyal horse.
"Let's go!" Wu Du got on his horse and said, "Shan'er will be grateful to you for the rest of his life."
Benxiao then set off on the road again, and went to Tongguan at the same time.
Duan Ling rode his horse across the mountain road. It was very hot in the Qinling Mountains that day, and there was a restless and restless atmosphere in the air. He tied the horse beside the tree and went down gently towards the stream where Feihonde was attacked. Opposite is a dense forest, entering the dense forest is a cave where treasures are hidden.
There were nearly twenty soldiers guarding outside the dense forest, and some people started a fire across the stream and started a stove to boil water.
Where is Helenbo? Duan Ling looked around and imagined that if he were Helianbo, what would he do now? Helianbo already knew that he was in danger in the treasure trove, so with his temper, he must first ambush here, spy secretly, and wait for the opportunity to enter the cave to investigate. Night was the best time for sneak attacks. When the soldiers on the vigil relaxed their vigilance, Helianbo would take advantage of the opportunity.
Instead of waiting for him to kill all the defenders and rush into the cave, it's better to give him a signal in advance.
So Duan Ling lit the dead leaves by the stream.
In autumn, the stream was full of fallen leaves, and the flames burned wildly beside the dead trees, then devoured the trunks, spread along the canopy, and ignited the surrounding trees. The flames jumped on and off for a while, illuminating the vicinity.
"It's on fire!" The soldier guarding the entrance of the cave shouted immediately, picked up his leather bag, filled the stream with water and came up to fight the fire, but Duan Ling quietly retreated to the hillside upwind. The wind was blowing into the jungle, and thick smoke drifted away. After a while, many people were smoked out.
Suddenly, an arrow flew from high up and hit the soldiers fighting the fire.
"Someone attacked!"
Duan Ling immediately discovered where the arrow was coming from, and immediately took off his longbow, and shot the arrow in the direction of the arrow.
The arrow rose flat, flew into the woods, and hit the tree trunk with a bang. Helianbo heard the sound, motioned to look out, and saw a figure in the darkness rushing down the stream on horseback. The thigh of the soldier who was fighting the fire in the middle turned the horse's head and rushed up the hillside.
Duan Ling's heart was beating wildly, but he could only take a gamble. It turned out that he was right, and only Helianbo, who knew the exact location, was ambushing here and preparing for a sneak attack.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger by the wind. Someone shouted and rushed down the hillside, but Duan Ling shouted in the Western Liang language: "It's me!"
Both sides were stunned. Unexpectedly, there were ambushing soldiers on both sides. Arrows shot overwhelmingly, chasing Duan Ling's horse. The horse was shot when it was climbing the slope. He was about to roll down the slope with his horse and man, but Helianbo grabbed the reins with one hand, flew off the horse, swayed in an arc, slipped with one foot, grabbed Duan Ling's wrist, and dragged him upside down.
"Let's go!" Duan Ling said, "Don't be wary!"
Helianbo gave a whistle, stepped on the stirrup, and dragged Duan Ling onto the horse. The crowd scattered into the dense forest and disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only the soldiers.
The war horses of the Dangxiang people are all good horses, and they can pass through the forest and the thorns without breaking a sweat. Once scattered into the mountains and forests, where can they be found? Duan Ling was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. Helianbo said behind him: " You! Almost! Scared me to death!"
Duan Ling laughed, Helianbo glanced at Duan Ling angrily, raised his fist and gestured towards him, Duan Ling patted his shoulder and said, "Find a way to gather."
Helianbo took Duan Ling and left the mountain where the treasure was hidden. Duan Ling said, "Hey, Helian, are you not angry?"
There is a shallow river beach in the mountain stream, and there are traces of fire next to the river beach. Helianbo just got off his horse and knocked Duan Ling down. Thanks to Duan Ling's martial arts training, he didn't fall, and then Helianbo pounced again. When he came up, Duan Ling avoided to the side, staggered, stepped back, gathered his strength, and went up to meet him.
As soon as the two escaped danger, they began to wrestle in the blink of an eye. The party members came back one after another, watching this scene in surprise, and then, fearing that the world would not be in chaos, they all applauded, dismounted and formed a circle, watching the prince and the Han boy take action. Wrestling to resolve "personal grievances".
Duan Ling pressed Helianbo's chest and pushed him back half a step. Helianbo stumbled and lifted his feet to stagger Duan Ling's feet. Duan Ling's reaction was faster than him, and he hung on him in an instant. There was a big slalom, and he rode on his back, twisting with strength and twisting Helianbo out of balance.
In wrestling, Helianbo was Duan Ling's master, but Duanling learned from Li Jianhong how to use cleverness. When he was still in Beijing, he was almost tied with Helianbo. However, after a year of separation, Duan Ling neglected to practice again in the south, and in the end Helianbo was still slightly better, throwing him on the ground and pressing him.
With a loud cry, Duan Ling hit the cobblestone on the river beach. Helianbo was taken aback, and he hurriedly pulled him up to check if his forehead was injured—it was swollen.
Duan Ling hurriedly waved his hands to indicate that it was okay. The party members who were watching had never imagined that this Han Chinese boy would actually be able to fight Helianbo.
Helianbo just wanted to vent, but he didn't expect Duan Ling to fall and swell his forehead, and he was very embarrassed immediately.
Duan Ling said to Helianbo in a helpless and depressing way, "Is there anything to eat? I haven't eaten dinner yet, I'm dying of starvation."
