The full moon sets in the west and the morning star appears. It is the darkness before dawn.
The Taiyi Mountains have raging pines and rugged mountain roads. A team of more than a hundred people, like a swift black snake, galloped along the pine forest road. The leader of the big man actually carried a similar figure on his back.
The tall young man, but his speed is not affected at all, leading the team behind him to move forward, move forward!
'You know you're holding yourself back!'
'You know you're holding yourself back!'
'You know you're holding yourself back!'
Zhang Dong, who was behind the big man, had already collapsed. Shi Wan's words were like a giant axe, constantly hitting the young man's fragile self-esteem until it was broken into pieces and scattered on the rugged mountain road.
Zhang Dong has completely understood that the physical strength and ability that he is proud of are not worth mentioning in front of these royal guards. It is ridiculous that he once looked down on them, thinking that they are just losers... It turns out that the really useless person is himself.
, I am a waste!
"How should we go?!" At this time, a rough voice interrupted Zhang Dong's self-pity.
The person who spoke was the big man carrying him on his back. Zhang Dong finally came back to his senses. He hurriedly touched his blurred tearful eyes and saw clearly the situation ahead. It turned out that he had encountered a fork in the road. After carefully identifying it, he whispered: "
Go left."
"His grandma's fault! Don't wait until I ask next time!" The big man was very dissatisfied with Zhang Dong's performance and said viciously: "If you delay things any more, I'll crush your yolk!"
The big man started running again, but Zhang Dong couldn't bear it anymore, and tears fell down.
"Cry your grandma!" the big man scolded: "If you dare to drip horse urine into my neck again, I will crush your balls!"
"..." Zhang Dong hurriedly took a deep breath to hold back his tears. Then, with the strength he didn't know where he came from, he suddenly broke away from the big man and fell from his back to the ground.
"You want to die, kid?!" The big man was furious. Seeing that the team behind him was forced to stop, he hurriedly pulled Zhang Dong away and said fiercely: "Get up here quickly!"
"I have my own legs!" Zhang Dong suddenly shook his arm and shook away the big man's hand. After saying that, he spread his legs and ran forward as hard as he could.
"Stop!" The big man was furious and ran after him.
"Hehe, this kid..." Seeing the two of them running and chasing each other, Shi Wan pinched his chin and said with a smile, "It's a bit interesting."
"Zhou Gan's vision is indeed good." Wang Xian nodded and led the crowd to catch up quickly...
Zhang Dong is like a tireless horse, running crazily on the rugged mountain road! His mind is blank, his lungs are on fire, and his legs are like lead. If he stops in this situation, he will definitely be killed alive.
He was so exhausted! But he couldn't care about this at all. Even if he died, he must run to that canyon before the big man! This is about a man's self-esteem, which is more important than life!
After running like this for more than half an hour, the white fish belly appeared in the east. Zhang Dong had completely lost consciousness and was running completely on instinct! However, the people following him saw that his steps finally became lighter and his speed became faster and faster!
The big man behind him tried his best to catch up with him, but he couldn't catch up with him!
Those legendary mantis legs finally showed their true power under such extreme conditions!
Just run and run like this, going around rocks and through forests, pulling grass and jumping over rocks! Finally, just before the rising sun, I ran over a cliff with a height of more than ten feet, and the long and winding canyon appeared in front of me!
When he stepped into the valley, Zhang Dong fell straight to the ground, but was grabbed by the big man behind him. Shi Wan also stepped forward, one on each side of the big man, holding Zhang Dong forward, and Shi Wan patted him.
He wiped the sweat from his butt and said: "Boy, if you fall down at this time, you will be useless... cheer up and hold on."
"Ho ho..." Zhang Dong had completely lost consciousness and had no response to Shi Wan's words. He only panted rapidly.
Everyone present had experienced this stage. No one laughed at him. Instead, he regarded him as a similar person for the first time. Shi Wan handed Zhang Dong to the people behind him and asked him and the big man to help Zhang Dong move forward and help him.
After his blood calmed down, he used the skill of lightening himself and rushed into the canyon in three or two steps. After a while, he left and came back again, and behind him was a bearded man with a scar on his face - it was not Hu Sandao or Hu Sandao.
Which?!
"Sir!" When Hu Sandao saw Wang Xian, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "You guys arrived in time, you really made me anxious!"
"It's my fault, I was too trusting." Wang Xian smiled apologetically. In fact, he really had no choice. The key to this operation was to keep it secret! Shandong official Wang Xian couldn't believe anyone, so he could only try to make a time difference.
! He made an excuse to go hunting, and then suddenly broke away from the team and went straight into the Grand Canyon! He completed this operation before everyone could react. So there was no spare time at all, and it was impossible to set off in advance, which would lead to leaks.
"At least we arrived in time." Hu Sandao also smiled, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. A month ago, Wang Xian decided on this bold beheading operation! But he knew full well that there were countless pairs of eyes in the dark.
He was monitoring himself, and any of his actions would be seen by his opponents. Moreover, he could not trust the Shandong army at all, so he asked Hu Sandao to take more than a thousand of his brothers and disguise themselves as horse bandits to detour from southern Shandong to central Shandong. Hu was waiting for orders.
San Dao was originally a bandit from Shandong, and most of his brothers were bandits who were recruited by him. When he returned to his hometown to start his own business, he would naturally come and go without a trace, and would not attract anyone's attention.
Seven days ago, after a month of observation, Wang Xian deduced that the Buddha Mother would arrive in Laiwu today, so he hurriedly ordered Hu Sandao to lead the crowd to meet up in the Grand Canyon, while he led people to cross the mountains and ridges from Zhangqiu to meet him. If
If you delay even a little bit, you will miss the Buddha Mother, and all your previous efforts will be in vain! And the most serious thing is that after this battle, Wang Xian can no longer pretend to be stupid in front of Shandong officials.
If you want to paralyze them again, it may be impossible to take them by surprise...
That's why Wang Xian was so anxious along the way, and it wasn't until this moment that he had a smile on his face.
But this was still not the time to rest. After meeting with Hu Sandao, everyone continued southward along the gurgling water and shaded Grand Canyon. After walking for about twenty miles, they finally arrived at the place where Hu Sandao and his men arrived.
Hidden place.
Seeing his subordinates recuperating, Wang Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a deep voice, "Where are they?"
"There are still seven miles away from here." The Jin Yiwei, who has experienced hundreds of battles, naturally keeps an eye on the position of his prey like a hawk.
"It's time to lay the trap." Hu Sandao grinned, stroking his steel-needle-like beard and said, "Look here, sir, this kind of short-track cutting business is what we are good at."
"Yes." Wang Xian nodded. He originally wanted to say, "We must catch him alive." But when the words came to his lips, he sighed secretly, and instead whispered: "Be sure to be absolutely sure. You must not let the Buddha Mother escape."
Escape..."
"Don't worry, sir." Hu Sandao nodded and waved his hand, and the thieves quickly lined up and moved forward.
Wang Xian followed the team for two miles and saw a long wooden suspension bridge crossing the canyon in front of him. It was the only way through the canyon and the only way for the Buddha Mother. The suspension bridge was a full ten feet away from the bottom of the canyon.
It is so high that if you fall from it, you will definitely die.
"We have buried explosives on the base of the suspension bridge. When the Buddha Mother gets on the bridge, we will blow up the suspension bridge!" Hu Sandao hid in Tibet for a month just for this day. He was very excited and gesticulated:
"At the same time, our troops will set up ambushes on the mountains on both sides. After the explosion, they will rush down and catch them off guard!" He paused and said, "Although the mountains on both sides are very short and not suitable for setting up ambushes, they are most suitable for cavalry attacks.
, go back and forth a few times and make sure to kill them all!"
"Yes." Wang Xian nodded and did not express any objection. He never interfered with the specific command. It sounded like there was nothing wrong with the plan, but the result would only be known after it was done.
So everyone took their places and hid in the col above the canyon, waiting for the prey to arrive.
Wang Xian crouched behind a rock and squinted at the winding mountain road in the distance, which was the direction where the Buddha Mother appeared.
Gu Xiaolian put a piece of Huoshao into his hand, and Wang Xian then remembered that he had not eaten a grain of rice since last night. He took the Huoshao and chewed it hard. Gu Xiaolian was afraid that he would choke, so he hurriedly gave it to him.
Wang Xian was handed the water, and Wang Xian took it and drank a few sips. He burned the whole thing with three strokes, and then smiled at Gu Xiaolian.
"Officer, are you a little worried?" Gu Xiaolian was the roundworm in Wang Xian's belly. Seeing him frown slightly, he knew that he had no confidence in this battle.
wang
The location can be said to be perfect. Moreover, the Buddha Mother has already set off and will inevitably run into the encirclement. He doesn't know what he has to worry about.
"Perhaps the older you get, the less courage you get." Wang Xian laughed at himself, and suddenly the smile solidified on his face, because he saw a long team in the distance, like a white snake appearing in the winding road.
The winding mountain road is slowly coming this way!
"Here we come!" The scouts in charge of the investigation quickly conveyed the news, and the soldiers raised their spirits to the highest level and made final preparations.
After a meal, the team dressed in white appeared on the east side of the canyon. Perhaps they saw the rickety suspension bridge in front of them, so they stopped and sent someone down to check.
Wang Xian and others' hearts were in their throats. Fortunately, the men in white didn't notice any clues. When the leaders walked across the suspension bridge and reached the other side, a guy who looked like a leader reported to a sedan chair in the center of the team.
A veiled woman got off the sedan, and slowly climbed onto the suspension bridge, escorted by a group of people in white.
