Chapter five hundred and fifth: distracting the enemy
The most meticulous man in the past did not notice the woman's emotions this time. Now he was in a hurry to leave. He touched Jiang Ru's head and walked out of the valley.
The wind and snow outside blew in and hit her in the face. Jiang Ru was so angry that she kicked a stone hard.
"Huh! Men are unreliable!"
Tuoba Mingge came out from Huquan Temple and summoned his men.
"Go to Phoenix Mountain and follow Jiang Zhe's people and see what they do!"
He had a hunch that since Yuan Lang and others were so secretive, they must be doing something big.
"yes."
The person delivering grain and grass in the capital was Li Biao. He wore a thick down jacket, a fur cloak, and a mink hat on his head to block the wind and snow.
"Brother Biao, how can we get out?"
They have been trapped in the mountains for three days. They are not short of food and clothing, but the people at the border are in short supply. If they delay for one more day, they may starve to death.
"The news has been spread. I believe Prince Consort Jiang will send someone over as soon as possible."
Li Biao followed Shen Yanqing, and he had matured a lot. He was not as reckless as before. This time Shen Yanqing sent him to deliver food and grass because he was interested in his courage and alertness.
"Put out the fire. This place is close to Xixia, so no one is allowed to discover it."
They only have a team of coachmen, and no one among them except him has any kungfu anymore. If they are discovered by the enemy, there will be only death.
"yes."
Although the coachmen were shivering from the cold, everyone still listened to Li Biao's words. The snow fell on the fire, and the fire was extinguished in a short time.
Without the fire, and with night falling, the surrounding temperature was getting lower and lower, and everyone was not as calm as before.
"We won't freeze to death here, right?"
"I have an elder and a younger one, and the whole family depends on me to support them. I can't let anything happen to me..."
"Why are you so unlucky to encounter a snowstorm? If I had known that this road was so difficult, I would not have come no matter how much money I gave you."
There were whispers of complaints all around, and the resentment that everyone had accumulated erupted at this moment. There had been frequent wars at the border, and they were sending supplies with their heads pinned to their belts. Now that they encountered this, it was not necessary. complain.
Li Biao crossed his arms and stood on the big rock on the side of the road. He looked into the distance. The wind and snow were getting bigger and bigger. There was an avalanche in front of him and the road was blocked. If it continued to snow, the road would only become more difficult to walk. , the top priority is to clear the road.
"What's the use of complaining, you all come with me to move rocks!"
They don't know when the reinforcements will arrive, so they have to save themselves first.
Yuan Lang's whereabouts were soon discovered. Tuoba Mingge looked at the news sent by his men, a glint flashed in his eyes, and the excitement on his face was palpable.
"Okay! God help me! The border surveillance will definitely fall into my hands, Xixia!"
Tuoba Mingge looked up to the sky and laughed. Why didn't he expect that Dayan was short of food, and now the court's relief was trapped in Fenghuang Mountain, and Yuan Lang and others were there to rescue people.
"Let's go, take someone to stop them!"
Tuoba Mingge is determined to win, and nothing can go wrong this time. The number of people he brings is several times that of Yuan Lang. When he meets Dayan's people, he will have the advantage of crushing them.
Not long after Yuan Lang left, he realized that he was being watched. He made a prompt decision and stopped at the mountain pass.
"Brother Yuan?"
Why don't you go inside?
People in the capital are trapped in the mountains, waiting for them to be rescued.
"We are being followed."
"What? Who is it?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard Yuan Lang's words. Unlike Yuan Lang, they had no investigative skills and were followed all the way without being discovered.
"She should be from Xixia."
Yuan Lang frowned, the matter was a bit tricky, how could their whereabouts be leaked.
Xixia is Dayan's most powerful opponent, especially Tuoba Mingge, even Jiang Zhe is afraid of three points, and Yuan Lang does not dare to gamble.
"What should we do?"
They were operating in secret this time, just to be quick and get the food and fodder before the enemy could react. Otherwise, they would be besieged when the enemy found out.
Not only Jiang Zhe knew how important grain and grass were to the border, but also others.
The people of Xixia have been eyeing this opportunity for a long time. How could they miss this opportunity?
"How did the news leak out? We set off from Huquan Temple and didn't alert anyone. We shouldn't have been discovered..."
There were doubtful voices in the team, Yuan Lang's eyes were cold and stern, and a figure appeared in his mind.
The figure of the man that night came to mind. He had been deceived by the little maid before and truly believed her lies about buying medicine from someone else. But no one who delivers medicine would have such good skills. His soldiers are already among the best.
But he failed to catch anyone.
A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Yuan Lang's mouth. The wind and snow blew on his face like a knife, but Yuan Lang's head was exceptionally clear-headed.
I'm afraid that person was a spy from Xixia, but it's not clear how he got close to the female family members of the Jiang family and how he won her trust.
Jiang Ru had become the same as Xixia in his heart, and all the thoughts in his heart disappeared. Yuan Lang couldn't wait to go back and question her now.
The border has been in turmoil for the past few months. How much has she been involved in?
With such a woman by Lady Jiang's side, Yuan Lang became more worried about Lady Jiang.
"Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan..."
Seeing that he didn't answer, his subordinates waved their hands in front of his eyes.
"What?"
"What do we do now?"
Now that the traces have been exposed, they can no longer rescue people, otherwise they will lead the wolf into the house and send them into the tiger's mouth.
Yuan Lang clenched his fists, glanced at the snow-covered Phoenix Mountain, turned around and took another path.
"Lead them away."
He was betting that the Xixia people didn't know where the food and grass in the capital was, and that Li Biao and others were already trapped. Even if the Xixia people wanted to find it, they would have to clear the road first.
"Okay, listen to Brother Yuan."
The road was more rugged. Yuan Lang led them to a steep place surrounded by dense rocks. The Xixia people followed them and were led directly into the valley.
"Whoosh!"
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and sharp arrows were shot out from behind the dense rocks. The enemy soldiers who had not yet reacted were shot in the center, and fell to the ground before they could even say a word.
"It's a scam!"
The people of Xixia fell to pieces. There were thousands of them this time, and this single oversight cost hundreds. The leading man's eyes were scarlet and he clenched the knife in his hand.
He promised his master that he would do the job perfectly, but he lost hundreds of people in Yuan Lang's hands after just one visit. How could he bear it?
"Shot!"
The soldiers behind the dense stone exclaimed. They were already prepared to sacrifice. There was a tenfold gap between them and the Xixia people, and there was no way they could defeat them.
But in the end, Yuan Lang made a quick decision and led his men to hide behind the rocks.
"Conquer them one by one."
He can't defeat a group of people, but if they spread out, he still has a chance.
