The north wind was howling, and snow flakes as big as goose feathers were swirling in the wind and pouring all over the sky.

Feng Yeling and Hua Yuxi looked at each other with ashen faces and looked at each other in despair. Neither of them could speak.

They were all girls who grew up in the south. No one expected that the sudden snowfall in Peiping would come so quickly and so fiercely.

"How can we shoot arrows?" Hua Yuxi said sadly, "Now we can't even see Guancheng."

Indeed, with the falling heavy snow, the city walls of Juyongguan, the numerous barracks and various street corners seemed to be invisible, disappearing into the vast white world.

Feng Yeling also smiled bitterly and said: "Even if we can see it, the wind is so strong now, the arrows shot will not be accurate."

"Then what should we do? Give up the action?" Wu Yi asked on behalf of the other selected soldiers what they wanted to say.

Hua Yuxi turned around quickly, stared at Wu Yi and said bluntly: "If you are afraid of death, you can retreat first, but you must keep the coil of rope you brought."

She was angry in her heart, not only hating the weather that suddenly changed, causing her almost perfect poisoning plan to come to nothing, but also regretting her "greedy" just now. If she could have ordered the arrows to be released in advance, she would not have to wait for the enemy.

They all entered the city. Maybe they had already completed their operations at this moment and were going down the mountain from the North Cliff to wait for the enemy to be poisoned.

"What do you want with that rope?" Feng Yeling asked in confusion.

Hua Yuxi gritted her teeth and said: "Since we can't shoot arrows from the top of the cliff, then I will go back to Guancheng and spread the poisonous seeds myself."

After she finished speaking, she glared at Wu Yi and shouted: "Are you leaving? Hurry up and hang the rope on the North Cliff. I can take care of you if you leave."

Wu Yi also didn't expect that Hua Yuxi would vent her anger on herself, and said helplessly: "The mission has not been completed, how can I leave like this?"

Feng Yeling stood between Hua Yuxi and Wu Yi, frowning and saying, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Hua Yuxi snorted and said: "After they leave, I will hang the rope on the cliff on the east side, so that along the rope, I can sneak back into Guancheng quietly under the cover of heavy snow.

When the time comes, I will pick a few lone Tatar soldiers to be infected with the poisonous seed, and then climb back to the cliff from the rope."

"This is too dangerous." Feng Yeling was startled and said, "Although there is heavy snow blocking the view, there are tens of thousands of enemy troops in the city. Once you are discovered, you will definitely not be able to come back."

Hua Yuxi spread her hands and said nonchalantly: "Isn't this just what you want? There will no longer be a vixen like me to seduce your husband."

"You fart!" Feng Yeling was angered by Hua Yuxi's words and slapped her in the face with his backhand, "That's nonsense. It affects the victory or defeat of the two armies and the survival of hundreds of thousands of people. Who has the intention to compete with you?

"

Hua Yuxi stared at her without showing any signs of weakness and said, "What? You said something that you dared to think but didn't dare to say, and you became angry from embarrassment?"

Feng Yeling raised his hand and wanted to strike again, but stopped mid-air and sighed softly: "I know you are deliberately irritating me so that I can take them out of danger first. But for such a big thing, I

How can we allow you to go back and take risks alone?"

Hua Yuxi raised her chin and said, "You can't trust me?"

"It's not that I can't believe you, it's just that it's true." Feng Yeling's eyes returned to Guancheng, which was covered by the wind and snow at the foot of the cliff. "Guancheng is so big, and there are so many people in the Tatar army. If you go down alone, it will go smoothly.

, it will take a lot of time to disperse all 20 poisonous seeds. If by chance the whereabouts are exposed, someone may kill them without even dispersing any of them. Then our whole plan will be in vain. This majestic

Isn’t it that Juyongguan is just handed over to others?”

Hua Yuxi glanced at Feng Yeling warily and said, "What do you want to do? Don't mess around."

"I'll go down with you." Feng Yeling said without hesitation, "Even if something happens, at least we can still take care of each other."

Wu Yi stepped out from behind Feng Yeling and said, "I'll go too. After all, there are twenty copies of the poisonous species. There must be more people to disperse them faster."

The other soldiers also said in unison: "We will go too."

"This is absolutely not possible." Hua Yuxi almost choked with anger, then turned to Feng Yeling and said, "Even if they go back with me, you can't."

Feng Yeling muttered: "I am their general. If I don't take the lead, am I afraid of death and hiding behind?"

"You are really..." Hua Yuxi bit her lip tightly and said after a while: "If you die here, who will take care of the young master for the rest of his life?"

"The fact that you are able to say this shows that you yourself are aware of the dangers of this operation and are not completely sure that you can escape unscathed." Feng Yeling stared into Hua Yuxi's eyes and said, "He has me in his life, and he has

You, let's go to see him alive together, no one is missing."

Hua Yuxi felt warm in her heart and couldn't help but say: "Xiaoye, you..."

"Did you also call me Xiaoye?" Feng Yeling said angrily, "Mrs."

Hua Yuxi nodded, her mind became active again, she took the rope and prepared to go down the cliff from the east side. She walked a few steps on the edge of the cliff, suddenly patted her head and said: "I remembered, Xiu Xiu should be talking about it below.

I remember that there is a cave where food and military supplies are stored in the small cloud platform that we passed. If we go down from there, we will not only reduce the height difference, but also be less likely to be noticed by others."

After saying that, she took out the twenty oil paper bags she carried with her, opened one carefully first to signal to everyone, and explained: "The sticky ink-like things inside are poisonous seeds. You must not touch them. I originally wanted you to

The arrow clusters are dipped in them and are now distributed to you. When you use the poison, you only need to let the enemy get a little bit of it."

"I understand." The soldiers took over the oil paper bags containing the poisonous seeds one after another.

Hua Yuxi then instructed: "After the poison is released, we will immediately return to the small cloud platform to meet up. If the snow is still heavy at that time, we will climb back to the cliff. If the snow is light, we will hide in the cave for a while. If we are accidentally discovered by the enemy and pursue us,

Come, you can also rely on the terrain of Xiaoyuntai to hold the position, and then leave calmly when the enemy has a large-scale poison attack and is overwhelmed."

Xiaoyuntai and the cave on the cliff were built in the sixth year of Hongwu. At that time, General Xu Da failed in the Northern Expedition and the Ming army temporarily shifted to strategic defense. The defenders of Juyong Pass built on the cliff on the west side of Guancheng.

This stone platform.

The cave on the cliff already existed, but it was not that big. The Ming army expanded it inward and accidentally connected to another space inside the mountain. They thought it could be used as a place to store grain and military supplies.

The guard ordered people to build a gatehouse with bricks and tiles outside the cave, and built stone steps on the left and right sides of the platform in front of the gatehouse leading to the ground. The stone steps on both sides were divided into three sections, twisted into two opposite "centers" like mirror images.

"" glyph, and finally connected to the ground.

When the two Fenghua girls took the lead in descending from the rope to the small cloud platform, two Tatar sentries were standing on the platform looking around, completely unaware that the crisis was coming from above. The two girls let go of the rope and fell from the sky, like ghosts, swooping from the left and right respectively.

The two sentries next to them knocked them down one by one, and they didn't even have time to say a word.

Under the cover of heavy snow, they dragged the enemy's corpse into the cave. While observing the vaguely visible movements in the city from a high position, they waited for Wu Yi and other warriors to descend to the platform along the rope.

After everyone gathered together, Hua Yuxi made a gesture and finally explained the details of the operation. Everyone walked down the small cloud platform from the stone steps on both sides, dispersed to the preset poisoning sites in various places in the city, and dived into the wind and snow.

Their footprints extended all the way up the stone steps, but were instantly covered up by the newly fallen snow powder, leaving no trace.
