Wen Boyuan was always following Hu Xiaotian's every move. At this time, Zhan Peng came over to inform them to make preparations. Wen Boyuan asked Zhan Peng, "What did he say?"
Zhan Peng said: "It is said that a big sandstorm is coming, so everyone should dismount and walk."
Wen Boyuan snorted coldly: "Mysterious words and monstrous words to confuse the public." Although he said this, Wen Boyuan did not dare to be careless. He passed the order and asked everyone to dismount and walk. As soon as everyone was ready, a strong wind swept the sand and dust.
Come on, this dust storm is completely different from what they experienced when they first entered Fenglin Gorge. The wind was so strong that people were swaying in the wind. These well-trained warriors felt that their steps were shaky and their footing was unstable.
It seemed like it would be blown away by the strong wind.
The sand, dust and gravel on the ground stirred up with the strong wind, hitting their bodies and faces with pain. The warriors pulled their horses and walked hard against the wind. The sand and gravel kept hitting their armor, making a continuous sound.
There was a constant ding-dong sound, as if someone was beating gongs and drums intensively.
Hu Xiaotian wore a mask and squinted his eyes. At this moment, he suddenly remembered how great it would be to have a pair of goggles. He held Xiao Hui in one hand, put the other arm across his forehead, and said loudly to Liang Yinghao beside him: "
The wind was so strong that I had to find a place to escape the wind and sand."
Liang Yinghao shook his head and responded loudly: "There is no shelter from the wind in this area. Fenglin Gorge has a unique landform. The nearest shelter from the wind is about ten miles ahead..."
Hu Xiaotian pointed to the ground and thought, isn't there a hole in the ground?
Liang Yinghao said: "People can hide in, but animals...can't..." His voice was broken by the strong wind.
Hu Xiaotian could only point to the distance and signal to continue moving forward.
If they had to walk ten miles in normal times, it would not be a big deal for them, but when they were advancing against the wind and sand, and there were many wounded people in their team, and they had to protect so many carriages and horses, it was naturally difficult for them to move forward.
.
Wen Boyuan, who had always loved cleanliness, was now disgraced by the sand and dust. He was walking with difficulty in the Fenglin Gorge against the wind and sand. When he looked back, he saw that many of his warriors had turned around and were marching backwards.
The posture is awkward to reduce the impact of wind and sand. Although the posture is embarrassing, it is still a practical means.
Dong Tieshan and two other warriors walked in front of Wenbo Yuan. Usually they would not dare to do such a move, but today was an exception. They used this method to block some wind and sand from Wen Boyuan. Dong Tieshan turned around, walked backwards, and walked toward
Wen Boyuan said loudly: "General, why don't you get in the car and rest."
Wen Boyuan shook his head. After being ambushed by the Muddy Waters Gang, their carriages and horses had lost a lot. Except for a few people such as the princess and Wu Jingshan who were still riding in the carriages, the other vehicles were either carrying dowry baggage or were allocated to important people.
The wounded man, this situation may not improve until he reaches Qinglong Bay. Although it is not far from Qinglong Bay, the raging sandstorm in Fenglin Gorge is far beyond his expectation. He squinted his eyes and looked ahead.
, the front of the team can no longer be seen.
Dong Tieshan was choked by the sand and coughed continuously. He approached Wenbo and said: "General, this seems to be a fraud."
Wen Boyuan asked: "Who is that big man with a beard guarding the princess's car?"
Dong Tieshan looked towards the princess's car in front, and saw a tall figure standing there. He never left the princess's car, and Dong Tieshan whispered: "I heard that his surname is Zhou, and he is the footman of the Tang brothers."
Wen Boyuan shook his head. He didn't notice this person at first, but when he was ambushed yesterday, Zhou Mo actually pulled the princess up from the collapsed pit with his own strength. This person was definitely not
An ordinary person with ordinary foot power? Absolutely impossible. If he was a subordinate of the Tang brothers, why would he obey Hu Xiaotian's orders? This person must be a capable general who was arranged by Hu Xiaotian in advance.
Dong Tieshan said: "General, do you doubt him?"
Wen Boyuan said: "Let's leave Fenglin Gorge now." Suddenly there was a cry of surprise from behind, but the carriage Wu Jingshan was riding accidentally fell into a pit. Wen Boyuan waved his hand and led several warriors over.
.
Wu Jingshan actually got a mask stuck on his face. It was naturally given to him by Eunuch Hu. Although it was just a few details, Wen Boyuan could still see it clearly. Wen Boyuan could not help but feel disgust in his heart. This old guy was actually talking to Hu Xiaotian now.
Standing together, it really blinded him. Although he was very disgusted with Wu Jingshan in his heart, he still looked good and asked someone to help push the carriage out.
Wu Jingshan thanked him repeatedly and said in a loud voice while wearing a mask: "General Wen, the weather is really... bad..."
Wen Boyuan said: "I'm afraid that we will follow others and go the wrong way."
Wu Jingshan smiled and said: "No, no, I have confidence in Mr. Hu."
A sneer appeared on Wen Boyuan's lips.
Hu Xiaotian, who was leading the way at the front of the team, was also beaten terribly by the wind and sand. After saying a few words, he already took a mouthful of loess, took out his water bag, and rinsed his mouth with water. At this time, a
A hand stretched out from the side, but it was a gray-faced warrior. Of course, ordinary warriors are not so bold. Even though the dust was filled, Hu Xiaotian still recognized from the cold eyes of the other party that this warrior should be played by Xumitian.
Xumitian took the water bag, rinsed his mouth, and then took two sips of water.
Hu Xiaotian secretly laughed in his heart, would this bitch be addicted to drinking my saliva? Thinking of the inexplicable relationship between Xumitian and herself, this bitch couldn't help but feel a little excited.
When Xumitian handed the water bag to Hu Xiaotian, he sent a message into the secret passage: "There is an ambush ahead."
Hu Xiaotian was shocked when he heard this. Hadn't he already subdued the Muddy Water Gang? How could there be an ambush? Could it be that those gangsters were acting secretly and secretly, and after gaining freedom, they were determined to make a comeback? In the past two days, Hu Xiaotian has perfected his ability to transmit sounds into secrets.
Yes, he whispered: "Muddy Waters Gang?"
Xumitian shook his head: "Be careful!"
Hu Xiaotian hurriedly stopped Liang Yinghao and asked Zhan Peng to pass on the order, and everyone stopped marching.
Liang Yinghao was quite puzzled. He came to Hu Xiaotian and said in astonishment: "Master Hu, about a mile further is back to Shawan, where you can avoid the wind and sand. Why did you... stop here?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I suddenly changed my mind and decided to go back to Shawan. Is there any other way out?"
Liang Yinghao said: "There is another way out, but it's just that it takes five miles to go back to Shawan, and the road is rugged. On the way, we have to pass through Fengyan Gorge, which is where the storm is the biggest." He is a man of character.
Alert, he had already guessed something from Hu Xiaotian's sudden suggestion to change the route, and whispered: "Do you doubt me, Sir?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not that I doubt you, but I have an ominous premonition in my heart. I always feel that there will be an ambush when I return to Shawan."
Liang Yinghao said: "If you feel it is inappropriate, sir, we will choose another path."
At this time, Wen Boyuan also came over. Hearing that Hu Xiaotian was going to change the route again, he couldn't help but get angry: "Hu Xiaotian, the road ahead is back to Shawan, where you can temporarily avoid the wind and sand. But you suddenly changed the route and chose the distance instead of the near. What are your intentions?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "My hunch has always been very good. There may be an ambush when I return to Shawan."
Wen Boyuan sneered: "Premonition? Don't talk about the gossip, so as not to make people laugh."
Hu Xiaotian said: "If you insist on walking this way, I won't stop you. Anyway, the princess will definitely follow me all the way." He was too lazy to talk nonsense to Wen Boyuan and directly mentioned the name of the princess.
Wen Boyuan said: "It's okay to go back to Shawan. I think it's you who has a problem..." Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a chirping of an eagle in the air. The violent sound of wind and sand could not make out the mournful eagle's cry.
The sound was covered up. Several people turned their gazes to the dust-filled sky, and faintly saw a white light and shadow shuttled through the dust.
Wen Boyuan's pupils suddenly shrank. He quickly took off the long bow from behind, bent the bow and set an arrow. The bow was like a full moon, and the tip of the arrow flashed with a deep metallic cold light. Phew! The tip of the arrow tore through the turbid air, and let out a sharp hissing sound.
Shooting straight towards the white light in the sky.
Everyone held their breath and all looked at the direction of the arrow, but the arrow obviously did not achieve the desired effect. A white light flashed, the arrow fell into the air, and then plummeted down from the sky. The tip of the arrow turned towards the crowd.
.
There was a cry of surprise from the crowd, and everyone hurriedly dodged around, fearing that they would be accidentally injured by the feather arrows falling from the sky. Seeing that the feather arrows were about to fall, they heard a loud sound of whoosh!, and a black feather arrow went straight towards that place.
The arrow shafts flew away in the air, and the tips of the two feathered arrows collided together. Amidst the sound of metal collision, several sparks shot out. The two feathered arrows also deviated from the crowd one after another, flew to the side crookedly, and inserted into the loess diagonally.
among.
Wen Boyuan's face became very ugly. He looked towards the position where the arrow was fired. The person who just fired the arrow to save the crowd was Zhan Peng.
In fact, Zhan Peng did not mean to show off his archery skills, but was afraid that Wen Boyuan's arrow would fall and hurt someone.
Hu Xiaotian said loudly: "Everyone listen to my order, leave here immediately, and go to Fengyan Gorge as soon as possible."
Liang Yinghao shook his head helplessly. Hu Xiaotian gave up the near for the distant, so he could only obey.
Although Wen Boyuan was reluctant to obey Hu Xiaotian's order, Princess Anping stood on Hu Xiaotian's side. As he said himself, he would go wherever the princess goes.
Everyone trudged hard for an hour against the wind and sand before arriving at Fengyan Gorge. As they passed here, the wind and sand became even bigger. The only thing that was gratifying was that they did not encounter any enemy resistance on the way. Fengyan Gorge is a wind outlet, about an hour long.
Inside, by the time the team carefully passed through Fengyan Gorge, night had fallen.
Strange to say, after walking out of Fengyan Gorge, it immediately became calm, and the color of withered grass began to show on the ground. Although night fell, Hu Xiaotian still did not dare to stop camping. After asking Liang Yinghao, he learned that he could walk out of Fenglin from here.
It would take about an hour to reach the gorge. After a brief discussion with Wu Jingshan, he decided to move forward overnight and leave the Fenglin Gorge tonight.
Please give me a guaranteed monthly pass! (To be continued...)
