After walking on the official road for three or four days, the mountain wind became stronger. Today's sky was not clear, with a bit of gray gloom, which weighed heavily on my heart. The sun was missing, and it was hazy, as if it was going to rain.
Xue Meitong woke up from sleep, opened the car curtain, and looked at the dark and low sky. The dull low air pressure did not even hear the noisy jumping of the birds in the mountain forest.
"The weather is not very good!"
Xue Meitong lowered the car curtain, rolled into the soft couch in the carriage, and said to Feng Qingge, who was leaning on the couch with a book and reading quietly, "It's going to rain, and... it will be a heavy rain."
Feng Qingge raised her eyelids slightly and shouted towards the outside of the carriage, "Shadow!"
A man opened the curtain, but it was the coachman driving the carriage. He asked respectfully: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"Find a place to take shelter from the rain first."
Ying hesitated slightly, "Your Majesty, we are almost at the 'One Line of Sky'. Guanshan Road is surrounded by green mountains on both sides. There are towering mountains. There are no houses or tiles. I'm afraid there is no shelter from the rain."
"One line of sky?"
Through the car curtains, you can vaguely see the majestic green mountains on both sides. The mountains are high, the forests are dense, the vegetation is lush, and the eyes are green. The faint fragrance of the vegetation is floating in the wind, which is refreshing and refreshing.
"Weird!"
Xuemei Tong touched her chin, thoughtfully. She pushed Feng Qingge's arm and asked doubtfully, "Qingge, don't you think it's too quiet?"
"Tongtong, if you are tired, you can take a look at the scenery. The scenery of this 'line of sky' is very nice."
He moved his fingers slightly, turned over a page of the book, and scanned it carelessly. Suddenly, his rose-colored eyes tightened, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Ying, go out and take a look!"
The car curtain shook, and the black figure had long since disappeared from the car.
Feng Qingge put down the book in her hand, opened the curtains and looked around, her eyebrows deep.
The distant mountains are ethereal, bright, quiet and elegant, showing a broad mind in the silence. More than a hundred people and horses are meandering in the mountains. The sky is high and the mountains are far away, but the people and horses seem so small.
The sound of footsteps passed through the silent mountain road, and the dull echo floated far away in the mountains.
"The birds singing in the empty mountain are so deep and far-reaching." Xue Meitong's voice echoed in Feng Qingge's ears, "The depth is there, but what about the birds' singing?"
The forest is deathly silent, and there are hundreds of people walking around, but why don't even a single bird startle?
This is not empty silence, but dead silence!
Feng Qingge has led troops in wars for so many years, how could he not feel something strange about this mountain? What this mountain contains is definitely not the tranquility he is familiar with, but dead silence!
When the car curtain moves again, the shadow has drifted back.
He looked solemn and said, "I'm talking about birds, not even beasts. The mountains are dead and silent, as if this mountain has never given birth to any life!"
is it possible?
Both Feng Qingge and Phantom thought it was absolutely impossible!
Breathing heavily and feeling uneasy, Feng Qingge asked in a deep voice: "Ying, what do you think?"
Phantom's pupils suddenly tightened, as sinister as a leopard, "Before we passed by, many people had already passed by here."
Xue Meitong asked: "Could it be General Leng who led a large force passing by?"
"No! Impossible!" Feng Qingge categorically objected, "According to Jun Yi and I's original plan, Jun Yi will not lead a large force through the 'One Line of Sky'. Because the 'One Line of Sky' is strategically located, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
, once the enemy sets up an ambush here and we are unable to pass in time, it will cause heavy casualties. And the reason why I choose to pass through the 'line of sky' now is to take a shortcut to catch up with Jun Yi."
Xue Mei Tong thought thoughtfully, "The mountain forest is so quiet. There must have been a large group of people passing by here just now, alarming the birds and animals. This group of people...maybe still staying in the mountain at this moment."
Phantom added in a deep voice, "It is absolutely impossible for ordinary robbers and robbers to have such an impact!"
"so,……"
As she lowered her eyes and pondered, Feng Qingge had already made up her mind, "Ying, inform the forward officer that all troops should retreat ten miles at full speed and send people to investigate the nearby terrain!"
"yes!"
The phantom flashed away.
Xuemei Tong looked at Feng Qingge and asked worriedly: "Qingge, could it be the enemy? If you choose to pass through the 'line of sky', it's just a temporary move. How could the enemy set up an ambush here and try to kill us?"
Total annihilation here?"
That’s right! This is something Feng Qingge can’t figure out!
His decision to leave from "One Line of Sky" was basically a temporary decision. Apart from the troops accompanying him, even Leng Junyi didn't know how the enemy army learned about it.
The people who follow him are all good brothers who share life and death with him. He can trust them absolutely! They will never leak any information!
If we must choose the object of suspicion, then the only thing left is...
His eyes fell on Xue Meitong.
Feng Qingge sat dumbfounded in shock, her body felt like ice...
No! It can’t be her!
"Qingge!"
He bumped Feng Qingge's arm with his elbow and looked at Feng Qingge's frightened face with confusion. Xue Meitong asked strangely, "Qingge, what's wrong with you? Did you suddenly think of something..."
"Tongtong!"
Feng Qingge suddenly interrupted Xue Meitong's words and raised her usual charming smile. He picked up the purple clay pot in front of him, slowly filled a cup of tea, and handed it to Xue Meitong, "Tongtong, in your opinion, take this
What should I do when I get down?"
"Huh?" Xue Meitong was surprised, "Are you asking for my opinion?"
Feng Qingge had a cute look on her face, saying, "Tongtong, you were the first to discover the danger. I want to hear your opinion."
Xue Meitong tilted her head and thought for a while, "What we need to understand most now are two questions. First, where should the troops retreat? Second, who wants to plot against you."
Feng Qingge smiled lightly and asked tepidly: "Tongtong, do you have any good suggestions?"
Xue Meitong replied: "Just now you ordered the shadow messenger army to retreat and sent people to investigate the nearby terrain, just to find a natural moat to camp. Since you have already thought of this, I don't need to come up with random ideas."
Feng Qingge nodded and smiled. Unexpectedly, with his few words, Xue Meitong had already understood what he was thinking. It can be seen that Xue Meitong's mental acuity is definitely not inferior to his!
"The troops are marching day and night and are exhausted. It is not appropriate to rush into battle. The most urgent task is to first find out the true nature of the opponent. If it is an ordinary bandit, if it is an army..."
Xue Meitong couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
No need to say anything, they already understand each other.
Feng Qingge whispered: "How could they be bandits? To make all the birds and beasts flee in fear, I'm afraid it would take tens of thousands of people."
Tens of thousands of people?!
Oh my God! If there are really tens of thousands of people ambushing in front of them, how can they pass through the "thread of sky" safely with only a few hundred people?!
"Want to turn back?"
"Look back?"
Feng Qingge's eyebrows were solemn, "If these people are really ambushing here, waiting for us to surrender, then even if we turn back now, this fierce battle will be inevitable, and we will also lose the opportunity..."
