However, who would have thought that now Wanhua's army has not yet arrived in Tongguan, and the battle has not yet started, and the rumors that are not favorable to them are flying all over the sky, which makes them not jump in a hurry!

In a panic, they rushed to a secret meeting to discuss countermeasures.

That Wang Xianqing was the first to say urgently: "Now rumors are flying all over the sky, when I leave the house, it is those lowly old men who dare to scold me by the nose, not only them, but now that the prefect has seen me, he also has a strange attitude, I knew it was so, why are we so anxious!" ”

Seeing that he was so breathless, Wu Yunqiang, a big merchant of the Silk Village, made a calm appearance, and comforted: "This rumor is not only spread here, it is spread everywhere, and all the people with heads and faces in Xi'an Mansion have a share, Brother Wang, why do you care!"

Besides, even if the government takes people to open the knife just in case, how does the government know who is secretly communicating with the rice fat thieves? Brother Wang, you are scaring yourself! ”

Li Shenglong, the landlord on one side, in order to embolden himself, also echoed: "That's it, what's wrong with our worry, the cunning rabbit still has three holes, do you really wait until the thief hits, and we can't take refuge again, at that time, who cares about us!" ”

Wu Yun continued: "Yes, aren't we very good now, we didn't send anything to the thief, and the government naturally can't catch us, it's best if the thief can't beat us, so we can continue to be at ease, and no one can help us!"

If we call, we just take the opportunity to join him and contribute to his takeover of Xi'an, can he still refuse to be able to do anything else!

At that time, we will definitely not lose, you don't see what has become of those rich squires under the rule of that thief, if we don't make meritorious contributions as soon as possible, we will have nothing left! ”

Wang Xianqing heard them say this, this is a little bit of a snack.

Also, the thief doesn't look at the landlord and squire very ruthlessly, everything under his rule is confiscated property, but he is generous to the meritorious people, and the people who follow him are not bad.

If he really gives him some credit, even if he buys horse bones and decorates himself with a façade, it will be good for us, and it will be very good!

It is precisely because of this that the three of them are in case Wanhua really lays down Tongguan and the family property is confiscated by Wanhua, so they are risking to send someone to contact Wanhua.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Xianqing was still not at ease, so he said to Wu Yun and Li Shenglong: "After all, what we are doing is a severed business, and now the rumors are so fierce, we can't help but guard against a little bit of the government, as the old saying goes, there is no big mistake in being careful!" ”

Wu Yun and Li Shenglong listened to it, and they both nodded in agreement, it was a matter of their lives, and no one dared to joke.

So they all quickly reached a consensus, that is, to secretly recruit strong men, always observe the movements of the government, once the government has signs of doing something to the three of them, then everyone will immediately attack and make Xi'an upside down!

At this time, they have no choice, if they really get to that point, they will have no other way than to raise things in Xi'an and do everything possible to promote the entry of the rice fat giant thief!

Five days later, Wanhua led the guards and finally arrived at Tongguan, which made Wanhua and the 6,000 guards tired enough.

It can really be said in one sentence, that is, if you don't come, you don't know, once you come, then you really don't want to come!

This way, over a mountain, another mountain, over a ravine, that is another ravine, is really endless, and not only many mountains and ravines, but also extremely dangerous to steep, it can really be said that out of danger and into danger, over the mountain and up the mountain, this is really beyond the expectations of Wanhua!

How steep is this?

To put it simply, when crossing the peaks and ravines on the road, five team members had accidentally fallen down and lost their lives in vain, which made Wanhua feel distressed.

Lao Tzu fought tens of thousands of imperial court troops, and only a few team members were killed, who would have thought that this was on the road, but five were killed, which was similar to fighting a big war, how could Wanhua not feel distressed!

However, Wanhua did not abandon the five team members who fell off the cliff and died, but still sent someone to find them one by one, built a simple coffin, and put them in a good coffin, but such a section of the road is unrealistic to take them on the road, so Wanhua had to put them in a few secluded places first, and then take them back when they go back.

This is Wanhua fulfilling his promise, that is, he brought them out, then he must take them back, he must see people in life, and he must see corpses in death, no matter what difficulties there are, this must be done.

Wanhua's behavior also won the admiration of the team members, and his admiration for Wanhua is also increasing day by day.

However, when he finally arrived at Tongguan, Wanhua couldn't help but gasp!

Why?

Because Tongguan is too steep!

I saw that Tongguan was surrounded by a deep ravine, high mountains and dangerous peaks, from the mountains in the south that there is no end in sight, all the way to the Yellow River in the north, that is high and low, undulating, like waves in the angry sea, churning endlessly!

In Tongguan, there is a saying that the rooster crows and hears the three provinces, why is there such a sentence, because the geographical location of Tongguan is at the junction of Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan, whether it is from North China or from the Central Plains, if you want to enter Shaanxi, you must pass through Tongguan!

And Tongguan is located in the middle of the Yellow River in the north and the mountains in the south, which is less than a kilometer away!

Looking at the Tongguan across the throat of one kilometer, Wanhua really had to admire his ancestors, just such a level, that is, completely cut off the back and forth of things,

With the steepness of the terrain, Tongguan can really be described as a husband and wife, ten thousand people do not open, no matter how many people you come, as long as Lao Tzu has food and drink, and you can't come in, you can't get in.

After watching it for a long time, Wan Hua finally couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "How to fight this, there is not even a place to put your feet, in case you run into Tongguan and open a cannon during the attack, how many people will not be killed by blowing up, but how many people will be killed!" ”

Xu Jie on the side was also shocked by the danger of Tongguan, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a book to read, it's better to travel thousands of miles, the student used to only know the danger of Tongguan in the book, only that he was just ten times more dangerous than the ordinary pass, but he didn't expect to see it today, this Tongguan is really a moat and a cloud ditch, it really looks scary!" ”
