Text 617 Xu Yanbo
The night was as dark as ink, but it did not appear to be so bright because of the starry night sky.
In the silent mountains, birds and animals inhabit the depths of the mountains, or stand on the branches of the trees and take a nap, or are struggling to feed on the dry grass and trees.
Li Hong and the carriage they threw on the side of the road were gradually surrounded by several black-clothed people silently at this moment, and shouted in a low voice: "Shoot." ”
In the inky air, there was an instant sound of arrows breaking through the air, swishing, thumping, thumping, and the arrows either entered the carriage through the curtain or hit the body of the carriage.
The air instantly froze again, and several black shadows with bows and crossbows began to approach the carriage nervously and cautiously, one person quickly lifted the curtain, and the others suddenly shot again, but there was still no sound in the carriage.
"My lord, it looks like the carriage was just thrown here." A man in black said in a low voice.
"It seems that they really found a flaw, but where did this flaw leak from?" Shen Dao, who is called an adult, just can't figure it out in his mind, how can there still be flaws in the detailed plan that has been planned in sufficient detail.
"So what now? They left the wagon here, apparently fleeing into the mountains. The man in black looked at the night where he couldn't see his fingers, his eyes were black, and he could only vaguely see that the beard of the adult in his mouth was a little whitish and blurry.
"This is a rare opportunity, even if they enter the mountain early, but they are not familiar with the terrain here, they must find them before dawn, otherwise it will be even more difficult to surround them in the mountains when the morning dawns." There was some regret and anxiety in the adult's tone.
After finishing speaking, he began to lead the man in black behind him, carefully walking on the rugged path in the mountains, relying on the feeling under his feet and the hazy vision after adapting to the dark night, he began to carefully explore ahead.
Yu Tuqi only felt a shadow in front of him that he didn't know whether it was a person or a ghost, and the bow and crossbow in his hand were instantly aimed at that side, and at the same time he whispered in his mouth: "Who? ”
"My lord, they're coming this way." The figure hurriedly protected his heart and said.
At this time, I didn't dare to be careless, it was too dark to see clearly, so I could only answer immediately, I was afraid that if I breathed at night, I would be ruthlessly shot by the crossbow arrow.
"Keep an eye on it, I'll go tell Your Highness." Wei Tu Qi walked up to the figure vigilantly, and after confirming the identity of the person who came, he put down the bow and crossbow in his hand, patted the man's shoulder approvingly, and then walked in the direction behind him.
At the tent, Li Hong walked out of it with Bai Chun, and tried his best to adapt to it for a long time, before he could get used to the dark night, looked up at the starry sky, and scolded involuntarily: "Damn, where is this moon going?" ”
"Your Highness, they are approaching." Wei Tuqi whispered.
"Have you chosen your route?" Li Hong poked his neck to look at the foot of the mountain, but all he could see was pitch black.
"Once we have chosen, we lure them up the mountain, and some of them will detour behind them, sneak up on them, and then go up the second road and then all the way south." Wei Tuqi unreservedly told Li Hong about his plan.
"Yes, it's no longer the reckless person who came hard, remember to be careful." Li Hong nodded and said.
Then he glanced at Bai Chun behind him, the stars in the sky seemed to blink mischievously, Bai Chun's thoughts were thousands, in order to relieve his tension, since he came out, he has been looking at the starry sky.
"Come with me." Li Hong whispered, then took Bai Chun's hand, followed behind Yu Tuqi, and walked halfway up the mountain.
"Why don't we just run into the mountains?" Bai Chun, who was stumbling a little under his feet, suddenly spoke.
"We can't run away, unless we can fly, no one is familiar with the path on the mountain, we open the road in front, if we are caught up by the pursuers following our path, we are not as fast as them, we will not be caught up overnight, and then we will completely expose our backs." Li Hong patiently explained to Bai Chun.
Then he followed the dozens of soldiers who were ordered by Wei Tu Qi to make a detour, and began to detour behind the pursuers, and walked forward, with Wei Tu Qi and them luring the pursuers, and for the sake of safety, he could only go behind the enemy, so as to see if he could find a way out for himself and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
At this time, it is naturally not the time to exert his benevolence for loving soldiers like children, in order to protect himself, Li Hong also had to put his two hundred personal guards and two personal eunuchs in the open to confuse the enemy and protect himself.
Following behind Li Hong, Bai Chunxin bumped like a deer, not only the tension of participating in the war for the first time, but also the sweet happiness of being held by Li Hong, in short, two completely different mentalities spread and grew at the same time in her heart.
Similarly, like Li Hong, whether it is this life or the previous life, or any life, he continues to prove a truth: women and men should not try to understand what they are thinking in their hearts for 100 million years.
At some point, the moonlight suddenly emerged from a large area of thick clouds, and with a trace of white moonlight, sprinkled like mercury, the originally black earth began to show people their silence and mystery.
The bow and crossbow naturally played an extremely important role in this night, and even, because of its existence, this quiet night, in the mysterious and unpredictable, added a touch of weirdness and fear.
When the men in black found the first ash of the fire that still had residual warmth, before they could report it to their captain, the arrow pierced the night sky and struck him in the throat with precision.
Gurg...... The sound of gurgling came from a throat that was not clear whether it was stinging or hot, and a hand began to touch the throat in disbelief, and the slender arrow tail made the man in black suddenly feel like ashes, turned his head, and moved his throat a few more times, and then fell straight to the ground.
"There's an ambush!" A man in black turned around and said in a low voice, "Get down." ”
There was a bang, and the sound of hula and hu sounded behind him.
But before the remnants of the hula hula sound dissipated, a burst of breaking air suddenly hit like a bee out of a nest, buzzing...... Sou...... The sound of the bowstring shaking the air, the sound of arrows piercing the night sky, resounded in the gradually washing night sky.
As the sound of breaking the air dissipated, a scream began to be heard halfway up the mountainside, and before the screams of the team leader dissipated, the black-clothed people who were still rejoicing at the end of the team had no time to rejoice, and another sound of arrows breaking through the air quite close to them sounded.
This time, when they heard the sound of breaking the air behind them, and before they could react, they were either shot and fell to the ground one by one under the shot of arrows, or they were frightened by the sound of breaking the air and fell to the ground.
A scream rang out from the top of the group, as if it was about to tear through the night sky and welcome the bright sunlight in.
The screams startled the sound of flapping wings in the deep forest, and the roars of beasts also resounded in the night sky from the depths of the mountain forest, echoing the screams of the black-clothed man from afar.
Li Hong patted the roundabout soldier's shoulder behind him, and whispered, "Go on, go down to the foot of the mountain and ambush again." ”
The soldier was stunned, this was the first time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had spoken to him, and after hearing Li Hong's words, he didn't even think about it, and even ordered directly in a low voice: "Continue to detour down the mountain and fight a second ambush battle." ”
Then, as soon as he moved, the soldiers on both sides instantly withdrew their bows and crossbows, and then walked down the mountain with their cats on their waists, while winding their bows and crossbows.
Sure enough, as Li Hong expected, the group of people just now was just the vanguard, and now, the black-clothed people who had not yet started to climb the mountain at the foot of the mountain, after hearing the screams in front of them, found cover to block their bodies one by one, and looked vigilantly not far ahead.
The pro-guard soldier was just about to give the order to shoot, but Li Hong stopped him in time again, his deep eyes were in the moonlight, and he seemed calm and calm: "Wait a minute, there should be a group of people behind them." ”
"Your Highness......." The soldier spoke suddenly.
Li Hong only had time to look at the soldier's face at this time, looking at the familiar eyes, but he couldn't remember who this person was for a while, so he couldn't help but say, stretched out his hand and tore off the soldier's helmet, and then exclaimed: "Xu Yanbo? How could it be you? ”
Xu Yanbo didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would tear off his helmet, take the helmet in Li Hong's hand with some embarrassment, and say embarrassedly: "The last general is the deputy general of the East Palace Guard, when I was in Chang'an, you promised my grandfather to keep me by my side, and then I asked Wei Tu Qi, saying that it was ...... your meaning." ”
"You...... If you really have you, you dare to do such a big thing...... How could the special Wei Tu Qi agree? Does he have the final say, my personal guards? Li Hong was shocked, could his own personal guards be out of control!
"Yes...... Be...... It means the queen, but ...... But the last general came in by ability, and I ...... if I wasn't handpicked by the queen. ”
"You have a fart ability, you did have merit when you conquered Anxi, and I agree with it, but the more important thing about the pro-guard is personal kung fu, you ......."
"I won Wei Tuqi." Xu Yanbo looked aggrieved and said to Li Hong proudly.
"Martial arts?" Li Hong almost screamed, Xu Yanbo, the grandson of Xu Jingzong, the grandson of a generation of Wenchen, actually won a brave man? How is this possible?
"Yes, whether it's punches and kicks, or archery, but ...... The horse lance was a little worse than the horizontal knife, and it was a tie. Xu Yanbo said with some embarrassment.
"This old ghost Xu Jingzong, he won't forget me until he dies, it's really bold." Li Hong remembered Xu Jingzong's face and said wrongly.
In fact, seeing Xu Yanbo at this moment, in addition to being shocked, there is even a trace of nostalgia for Xu Jingzong, but people can't be resurrected after death, let alone ...... It's better for such a big yin person to die early.
Xu Yanbo heard the prince say this about his grandfather in front of him, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Grandfather said so before he died, if His Royal Highness knew that you were by his side, he would definitely scold me." ”
"Hurry up and fight the enemy, remember to come back alive." Li Hong patted the helmet held in Xu Yanbo's hand and said.
Since it was the queen mother who agreed to him to join his own personal guard, I think it was the result of Xu Jingzong's request for his mother, after all, a Li Yifu and a Xu Jingzong had an indelible contribution to the queen mother's ascension to the queen's throne.
