After Mingyan came out of the palace, he urgently gathered people and horses to chase him out of the city. At this moment, Liufan and the others were dozens of miles away from the city. They took Qiyu hostage and put him in Jiang Feng's carriage waiting by the roadside. The group got on the horses that Jiang Feng had prepared.
, beating the horse and galloping towards the border between the east and west countries.
After running for two days and two nights, we were almost approaching the border. When the morning light began to rise, everyone looked tired.
"Everyone, please stop and rest for a while, drink some water, eat something and continue on your way. We will be safe only after we meet up with the army," Liu Fan said.
The group of people stopped their horses and stood on the roadside to drink water and eat dry food. The horses were also eating grass on the roadside. "Eat some." Xiaozhu opened the carriage curtain and threw a piece of dry food and a jug of water to Qiyu. Qiyu was angry.
He stared at her, but still did not refuse the food.
"Ahead is Bajiao Village, which is the camp of Dongling Army. I guess their leader has got the news. I'm afraid we won't be able to sneak over there." Liu Fan stood on a high ground, built an awning with his hands, and looked at a towering tower in the distance.
Yun Zhifeng said.
"Their emperor is in our hands, are we still afraid that we won't be able to survive?" Xiaozhu smiled.
"Haha, that's right. Let's continue on our way." Liu Fan jumped off the hill with a smile and jumped on his horse. "For safety's sake, we'd better get in touch with Xiang Nan. Master, please summon your messenger eagle.
.”
Mu Shi whistled toward the sky, and after a while, two white eagles flew in from afar and swooped down. Ni'er took out a pen and paper from the package and gave it to him. After he finished writing the letter, he tied the letter to the female eagle.
On his feet, he let it fly out, and the eagles fluttered and flew away.
In the camp of Bajiao Village, Mingbei had indeed received a letter from his father, asking him to save the emperor. Mingbei stood on the wall of the earth city, his handsome brows knitted into knots. The deputy general stood beside him and said:
"The emperor is in their hands, we can't mess around."
Mingbei nodded: "That's why I'm in trouble, do you have any clever ideas?" The deputy general shook his head with a grimace: "The commander-in-chief can't do anything, so what clever ideas can I think of with my stupid brain?"
"I feel that there is no point in taking action. The only option is to set up an array at Yuntian Peak, where they must pass, and trap them in the array." Mingbei said.
The deputy general said: "The famous commander's formation is unpredictable and powerful, and he will surely trap them!"
Mingbei sighed worriedly: "Don't be too optimistic. According to my master, there is someone more powerful than him in Xiling. If this person comes, it will be very difficult to defeat him."
"Is there anyone more powerful than the handsome master?" the deputy general asked.
"There are people outside the world." Mingbei smiled slightly, turned around and ordered: "Get your horses ready, lead a team and rush to Yuntian Peak quickly."
"Got the order!" the deputy general quickly took the order and went to do it.
Working hard, Mingbei led everyone to Yuntian Peak quickly. Under Mingbei's command, everyone moved a lot of big rocks. They placed one here and one there. It seemed chaotic, but in fact they all had special directions. It took nearly a month of work.
By that time, Mingbei's stone formation had formed several chains. He smiled proudly and said to the lieutenant: "Huh, it's easy to solve one formation, but it's not that easy to solve my chain formation."
He ordered the troops to be withdrawn, led the team back to the camp, and then ordered the deputy general to lead the troops and horses to surround Yuntian Peak, threatening to invite you to the urn.
The mountain peak looked not far away, but the journey took nearly half a day. After detouring from the camp in Dongling, Liu Fan and his party were not disturbed in any way, and it was so peaceful that it was unreal.
"Emperor Dongling, your people don't want you anymore. Look, we've come this far and no one has come to save you." Xiao Hui taunted Qi Yu in the carriage mischievously.
Qi Yu was restrained and didn't bother to argue with her, but he also secretly wondered why there was no movement from the troops at the border. It couldn't be that they hadn't gotten the message yet.
"The calmer the surface is, the less you can underestimate the enemy." Taoist priest Mu Shi looked solemn.
"Master is right, we can't be careless. The mountain road ahead is rugged, and they might have already ambushed them." Liu Fan nodded. As he spoke, their team had reached the bottom of the mountain.
"There is only one mountain road to cross this mountain, so everyone must be careful." Liu Fan took the lead in riding up the mountain road. Jiang Feng followed closely with the carriage, Mu Shi and Xiao Zhu followed on both sides of the carriage, and Wuyou and the others walked at the end.
After walking for a while, there was nothing unusual except that they felt that there were stones blocking their way. Because the stones did not hinder their passing, they just walked around and did not think of moving them. Unknowingly, they entered
Deep in the mountains, stones continued to appear, and they became more and more dense. Taoist priest Mu Shi's expression suddenly changed, and he said loudly: "Everyone, please stop!"
"Master, what's wrong?" Liu Fan turned around and looked at him in surprise.
"Fan'er, Xiaozhu, look at the direction of the stones!" Mu Shi said.
Liu Fan was shocked. He glanced at the stones in front of him and blurted out: "They are all in the Bagua position!"
"No! We seem to be standing still!" Xiaozhu suddenly exclaimed.
"Yes! Look! We are under this locust tree again! I wanted to pick locust flowers before!" Ni'er pointed at a locust tree and shouted.
Qi Yu listened to them talking in the carriage, stuck his head out and sneered.
"Why are you laughing? No matter how lost you are, you are still with us." Yun Shang rolled her eyes at him.
"The worst I can do is die with you. Since the Prince of Xiling is buried with me, I won't suffer much, haha." Qi Yu simply got off the carriage and looked up to the sky with a smile.
"Stop talking sarcastically, or else I'll kill you, girl!" Xiaohui came over and put a sword on his neck to scare him.
Qi Yu just glanced at her contemptuously and snorted.
Mu Shi ignored their conversation. He frowned and identified the direction of the stone.
Liu Fan followed him and identified with him.
"It's the position of Bagua, but the person who set up the formation is very talented. He didn't follow the routine, but used a chain." Liu Fan analyzed.
"It seems that even his master didn't know this. It was a strategy he suddenly thought of." Mu Shi said.
"Let's crack it one by one." Liu Fan found a position and suddenly struck with his power. The stones were shattered immediately, but the amazing thing was that the stones next to them quickly shifted and formed a new formation.
Xiaozhu came over to help Liu Fan break several boulders, but it was the same every time. No matter which formation they destroyed, other rocks would immediately be rearranged.
"No need to continue, it's useless!" Mu Shi stopped them from continuing to perform their exercises.
"Hahaha! You really don't need to continue! You can't break my commander's chain formation!" A burst of laughter came, and a handsome-faced major general wearing a military uniform appeared on a horse not far away, it was Akibei.
"Master Ming!" Qi Yu was overjoyed.
"Your Majesty! I am late to save you!" Mingbei dismounted from his horse and knelt down to pay homage.
