"Brother, look what they are talking about? They have been talking for so long."
Jimo Qiao and Chai Yan stood together, looking at Ahudala, Fan Xingwang, and Pang Zhenbei.
Chai Yan looked at the surrounding mountain scenery and said calmly: "What else can I say? I must be talking about what happened at the martial arts battlefield yesterday. I don't know why General Fan would agree to let you enter the camp.
Woolen cloth?"
Jimo Qiao nodded, and then suddenly asked: "What if they just don't agree?"
"It's easy. Let them send someone to take you back immediately. By the way, do you want to go back to Huaidu or Jiezhou?" Chai Yan did not hesitate at all before saying this, as if he meant it.
Jimo Qiao suddenly became anxious and couldn't help but jump to his feet and shouted: "You, you...you dare!"
Chai Yan was amused by Jimo Qiao's appearance, but he couldn't laugh out loud at this time, so he had to suppress his laughter and said: "Hey, why are you so careless? Can't you hear the joke?"
"I...I, I don't allow you to make such a joke, it must not be funny, yes, it's not funny!" Jimo Qiao was a little angry, and his chest kept rising and falling.
Chai Yan immediately said: "Okay, okay, don't open it. Don't worry. If they don't let you in, the three of us won't go in either! Right? Cheng Jiu, Yu Tie..."
Cheng Jiu immediately said: "That's right, we won't go in either."
"Yeah." Yu Tie nodded vigorously.
Seeing that everyone's answers were unanimous, Jimo Qiao's anger subsided a lot. He raised his eyebrows and said a little arrogantly: "Humph, that's pretty much it."
Chai Yan was chatting here when he suddenly heard Ahudala say to Fan Xingwang: "General Fan, it is my idea that Miss Mo Yu enters the camp. It has nothing to do with General Fan. If your Majesty asks or blames you,
, I will be solely responsible for it!”
Next, after a short moment of hesitation, Fan Xingwang finally nodded and said: "Okay, since the second prince has said so, I, Fan Xingwang, can no longer block it."
Ahudala immediately smiled: "Thank you, General Fan."
"I don't dare." Fan Xingwang said modestly.
Then, Ahudala turned around and walked up to Chai Yan and the others, and said happily: "Taoist Master, Miss Mo Yu, General Fan has agreed, let's enter the camp."
Chai Yan nodded lightly and led the three Jimo Qiao, Ahudala and others into the camp one after another.
Because Jimo Qiao was a woman, Fan Xingwang specially built a separate tent for her in a corner of the camp. Apart from the fact that the tents of the soldiers were further away, there was no other inconvenience.
.............................
Inside the Chinese military tent.
Ahudala formally handed a document signed by the king into Fan Xingwang's hands.
Before coming in, Ahudala had already told Fan Xingwang the intention of Chai Yan and the others, and it was consistent with the contents of the document, so Fan Xingwang put it down after reading it for a while.
Then, Fan Xingwang looked at Chai Yan and said seriously: "Taoist Master Changsheng, Fan is a rough man. He doesn't know how to mince his words. He often offends me. Please forgive me, Taoist Master."
"General Fan is too polite." Chai Yan maintained his airs and nodded slightly.
Fan Xing glanced at the big gourd behind Chai Yan and asked: "Taoist Master, I just heard from General Pang that the martial arts holy water in your gourd is so magical. I wonder if I can let Fan and others see it?"
Chai Yan said: "Of course. But before that, Pindao wants to go to Qingyuan Pass to see the scenery of Xiongguan. I hope General Fan will not refuse."
Fan Xingwang said cheerfully: "No problem."
After saying that, Fan Xingwang stood up and warmly invited Chai Yan and the others to go outside the tent.
Chai Yan also saw that this Fan Xingwang was a resolute person who did not procrastinate in everything and liked to do things as he was told.
At this time, Ahudala said: "General Fan, Taoist Priest and the others have been traveling hard all morning, why don't you go after lunch?"
Fan Xingwang was stunned for a moment, then asked Chai Yan: "Taoist Priest, are you hungry?"
Chai Yan obviously paused, thinking to himself, how should I answer this question?
Before Chai Yan could answer, Fan Xingwang said again: "If the Taoist priest is hungry and tired, how about Fan immediately ordering people to cook and cook, and then go up to the pass after eating?"
When Chai Yan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, so he answered: "General Fan, let's go to the pass first and have a look. Eat or something, don't be in a hurry."
Fan Xingwang nodded and said: "Taoist Priest, please."
After leaving the Chinese army's tent, Chai Yan and his party headed towards the north of the camp.
There was no time for a cup of tea before everyone walked out of the north gate of the camp.
After walking forward for a while, the road under our feet turned into a mountain road. It was not rugged, but the slope became steeper and steeper.
Jimo Qiao walked for a while and then asked curiously: "Strange, why do we keep going up the mountain? Didn't we say we were going to the pass?"
After hearing this, the second prince who was walking ahead turned around and replied: "Miss Mo Yu, in order to resist the attack of the Pitz people, the passage in and out of the pass has been completely blocked. Later, we built defenses on the pass.
The city wall, so today’s pass is more like a city wall without a gate.”
"So that's it." Jimo Qiao finally understood.
Chai Yan asked: "Second Prince, how high is Qingyuan Pass approximately?"
Ahudala thought for a while and replied: "It should be more than ten feet tall..."
After hearing this, Pang Zhenbei couldn't help but answer: "Second Prince, to be specific, on the north side of our Qingyuan Pass, which is the side where the Pitz people attacked, the height of the pass is about 18 feet.
, and the south side of Qingyuan Pass, due to the mountain, is about five feet high."
"Eighteen feet! So high?" Jimo Qiao exclaimed in surprise.
Chai Yan calculated while listening. One foot is three meters and three meters, and eighteen feet is almost sixty meters. If converted into floors, it is about the height of a twenty-story building.
Let me go. No wonder the Pitz people spent 20,000 troops fighting for ten consecutive days but were unable to conquer it. The Qingyuan Pass is indeed a natural danger that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Everyone was chatting and moving upwards. After an unknown amount of time, everyone finally reached the pass.
As soon as Jimo Qiao climbed onto the pass, he exclaimed: "Brother, look, what a long city wall..."
"Yes, it feels like climbing the Great Wall." Chai Yan nodded.
At this moment, Chai Yan seemed to have the illusion of being on the Great Wall.
On the side facing the north, there are concave and convex battlements one after another. The soldiers stood behind the battlements, all looking at the situation outside the pass.
On the side facing the south, although there are battlements, they are not as dense as those on the north side. There is a battlement opening about four or five feet apart, and the height of the city wall on the south side is not as high as that on the north side.
It is obvious that Muyue Kingdom invested all its defense construction in defending against the enemy.
Jimo Qiao couldn't wait to run to a battlement in the north, and then leaned out to look out. Unexpectedly, the city wall was much thicker than she expected, and it took a lot of effort to stick her head out of the battlement.
"Brother, come and see, it's so high down here!" Jimo Qiao shouted while looking at the bottom of the pass.
Chai Yan walked over and pulled the person back, frowning and said: "Be careful, you are not afraid of falling."
Jimo Qiao said excitedly: "Brother, take a look, it's so high here."
Chai Yan refused directly: "No, I'm afraid of heights."
After saying that, he walked away.
Chai Yan walked to Ahudala and Fan Xingwang and asked seriously: "Excuse me, how long is the Qingyuan Pass we are seeing?"
Fan Xingwang pointed to the end of the battlement and said: "From our side to that side, it is about ninety-eight feet long from east to west."
"What about the width from north to south?" Chai Yan asked.
Fan Xingwang said: "In terms of north and south, the widest place is about eight feet, and the narrowest place is less than three feet..."
While Chai Yan was learning about the various terrain data of the pass, Jimo Qiao ran to the battlements in the south and leaned forward to look down.
After seeing it, Jimo Qiao asked loudly: "Um, was this place where people used to leave? Now you have sealed it up with earth and rocks."
Ahudala turned back and said: "Yes! If we don't do this, Qingyuan Pass will be difficult to defend."
