After nightfall, the temperature cools down quickly. It still feels a bit hot during the day, so it’s no problem to add an extra layer of clothes at night.
At this time, Chai Yan had just woken up. When he opened his eyes and saw that it was getting dark, he was ready to go up to the pass to defend the city.
While he was arranging his clothes, Jimo Qiao's voice appeared outside the camp.
"Brother-in-law, are you awake?" Jimo Qiao asked.
"Yeah..." Chai Yan responded and said, "Is there something wrong? Come in and talk."
Immediately, Jimo Qiao lifted the door flap and walked in.
"Brother-in-law, I'll go down with you," Jimo Qiao said.
Chai Yan glanced at Jimo Qiao and said, "Why are you bringing this up again? Didn't I say it before? I don't need help, I can go alone."
"But...but I'm not worried..." Jimo Qiao looked worried.
Immediately afterwards, Jimo Qiao said again: "Don't forget brother-in-law. My sister told me before we came out that I must keep an eye on you. If anything happens to you, I... I won't be able to handle it when I go back."
These words immediately made Chai Yan laugh: "Sister-in-law, do I still need you to watch over me? Thank God if you don't cause trouble for me..."
"I......"
Just as Jimo Qiao was about to say something, Chai Yan interrupted him: "By the way, do you still remember your promise to me that you would listen to my arrangements for everything after coming to Qingyuan Pass? Why are you not admitting your promise now?"
Jimo Qiao said anxiously: "No, I just think..."
"Okay, don't think so..." Chai Yan interrupted Jimo Qiao again: "Anyway, this matter has been decided. You just stay up there for me. I'll be there soon."
Go and come back quickly, nothing will happen."
When he finished speaking, Chai Yan had already tidied up his clothes and walked out of the camp.
Jimo Qiao hurriedly followed, looking unhappy but not knowing what to say.
After leaving the camp, Chai Yan found that Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie were also there. When they saw Chai Yan coming out, they nodded and said hello, and then followed Chai Yan silently.
Chai Yan strode towards the pass with great strides, hardly saying anything to Jimo Qiao on the way.
When the four of them came to the pass, they happened to meet Pang Zhenbei who was directing soldiers to build the road.
Chai Yan stepped forward and called out. Pang Zhenbei turned around and walked over immediately: "Taoist Master, are you up?"
Chai Yan nodded slightly, looked at the busy scene of the soldiers, and asked: "General Pang, how many days will it take for this road to be completed?"
Pang Zhenbei Road: "If we hurry up and hurry up, it can be repaired within three days. Then it will be much more convenient for everyone to go up from here."
Chai Yan nodded again and then went up to Fangcheng.
After boarding the Fangcheng, Chai Yan immediately found Fan Xingwang who was patrolling.
"General Fan, are you ready with everything I need?" Chai Yan asked.
Fan Xingwang immediately nodded and said: "Don't worry, Taoist Master, we have already prepared it."
Chai Yan said with satisfaction: "Okay, without further ado, I'll go down now."
"Okay." Fan Xingwang responded.
In just half a quarter of an hour, the preparations for the descent to the pass were completed.
In front of the crenel, Chai Yan tied a two-finger-thick hemp rope tightly around his waist, and then climbed onto the crenel with a quick leap.
The moment he stood on the crenel, Chai Yan immediately felt a strong cold wind blowing.
Chai Yan looked at the dark abyss below, couldn't help but shrink his neck, and thought to himself: Damn it, it's a bit scary!
At this time, Shangguan Peining also spoke up: "Chai Yan, you don't have to be so careful, right? I have already said that if Martial God Bean is around, just jump down and I won't hurt you even a hair."
Chai Yan frowned and immediately replied in his heart: "I can go down however I like, I don't need you to teach me!"
"Hey, you are a coward! You are a coward!" Shangguan Peining mocked.
Chai Yan didn't want to pick up Shangguan Peining. When he thought about it, even if he had the Martial God Bean to protect him, he would not be injured, but he was still very resistant to suddenly jumping from such a high place.
Of course, if you have no choice but to jump, that's another story. But now that General Fan has arranged the manpower and ropes, and can lower himself slowly, why bother to jump directly from the building?
"Brother, you must be careful." Jimo Qiao was very worried and clenched his fists tightly.
Cheng Jiu also said: "Brother, be careful."
Yu Tie followed and nodded vigorously.
Fan Xingwang said: "Taoist Priest, if there is any situation, please call immediately and I will send someone down immediately."
"Don't worry, General Fan, nothing will happen to you," Chai Yan said.
Later, Fan Xingwang's soldiers gave Chai Yan a huozhezi, two large altars of kerosene tied with ropes, and an unlit torch.
Chai Yan put away the fire holder and pinned the torch behind his waist, and finally picked up two large jars of kerosene. He then nodded to the soldiers pulling the ropes, indicating that he was ready.
The next moment, Chai Yan turned around and rushed towards the bottom of the pass with his back, and jumped out gently with a speed-down movement.
Immediately, the ropes in the hands of the soldiers tightened immediately, and Jimo Qiao's heart also hung up. He couldn't help but remind: "You must hold on tight, don't let it go."
Fan Xingwang said: "Miss Mo Yu, please rest assured, my people will be very careful."
As the soldiers slowly lowered the rope, Chai Yan also moved downward bit by bit.
Jimo Qiao saw that the soldiers' skills were quite sound, so he went to the crenel and leaned down to look down.
By this time, Chai Yan had already gone down some distance. Because the light was too dark, he could no longer see the face clearly. He could only see a figure moving downward.
Jimo Qiao couldn't hold it any longer and couldn't help asking: "Brother, how is it?"
Chai Yan's voice immediately sounded: "I'm fine, please let them loose the rope faster."
Although Jimo Qiao was worried, he still turned around and conveyed Chai Yan's words, and several soldiers immediately speeded up the speed of lowering the rope.
After a while, Jimo Qiao couldn't see Chai Yan at all, but the rope was still being lowered, which showed that it had not reached the ground yet.
After a while, the rope suddenly became slack. Jimo Qiao kept staring at the rope and immediately shouted: "Here we are, senior brother is here."
Before he could finish speaking, Jimo Qiao leaned out of the crenel, intending to shout down.
Fan Xingwang saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Miss Mo Yu, please don't call, lest you alert the people of Piz!"
Jimo Qiao didn't think about this at first, but he realized how reckless he was when he heard Fan Xingwang's words, so he quickly covered his mouth, thankful that he didn't shout out just now.
At this time, Chai Yan had reached the bottom of the pass.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."
As soon as he stepped on the ground, Chai Yan heard the sounds of mice around him.
Enduring the strong smell of blood, Chai Yan put down two jars of kerosene, then slowly untied the rope tied around his waist, and finally took out the fire stick and lit the torch.
As soon as the torch was lit, a pile of corpses appeared in front of Chai Yan's eyes. They were all Pitz soldiers shot by bamboo javelins or arrows. Some of them died in terrible ways, with painful and ferocious faces.
"I like this breath and taste so much, I like it so much! Hahaha..." Shangguan Peining's voice was extremely excited.
Looking at all this, Chai Yan couldn't help but frown: "Shangguan Peining, this place is an out-and-out hell to me, but to you, it is the scene of a gluttonous feast!
