In many cases, if you look at things differently, the results will be completely different. Before, Qi Qi and Hou Baowu were thinking about how to take Wuma City, and looking at the map drawn by Ayi in this way of thinking scared them a lot. The strength of Wuma City is not strong, but the terrain is too bad. Sending a few people to guard those dangerous places can bring them huge losses.

And now, looking at the map on the premise of rescuing the blacksmith, Qi Qi and Hou Baowu's eyes are getting brighter and brighter. The terrain is predetermined, and it can be used not only by the Five Horse Castle, but also by anyone.

"As long as we can find the blacksmiths and bring them to this place, then all these dangerous places can be used for our defense. The people of Five Horse City will not be able to do anything but jump their feet at that time. ”

Hou Baowu smiled and ticked a place on the map. It is still within the range of Wuma City, strictly speaking, it is not out of danger, but it can be attacked, retreated and defended, and there is almost no danger.

Qi Qi nodded and said, "If you can go down to this Wuma Slope, of course there will be no problem." Now the people of Wuma City have all retreated into the mountains, and Wuma Slope is the only way out, and no one can come out if it is locked up. ”

Qi Qi paused here and said, "But it's not so easy for us to come here. ”

The place pointed out by Hou Baowu is indeed good, but there is still a problem that he has not solved. As Qi Qi said, how to find the blacksmith and bring it to Wumapo is the most crucial step.

"The blacksmith you are talking about, is it a foreigner with a black face?" Ayi couldn't help but ask after listening for a long time.

Qi Qi and Hou Baowu had almost forgotten about Ayi's cunzài, and suddenly heard Ayi's voice, which startled them. Fortunately, Qi Qi reacted quickly and nodded: "Yes, it's them." There are about 200 of them, have you seen them?"

Ayi nodded and said, "Well, I've seen them." ”

"Where are they?" Hou Baowu's temperament was always anxious, and without waiting for Qi Qi to ask again, he interjected to ask Ayi.

Maybe it's because Hou Baowu agreed to take in their sister and brother. Ayi was very polite to Hou Baowu, blessed slightly, and said, "They are in Yunding." ”

Genting is a very special place. This place is not particularly depicted on Ayi's map, but its existence is indispensable.

After Ayi's introduction, Qi Qi and Hou Baowu learned that Yunding is also called Guangmingding. It is located on the highest peak of the Five Horse City. No matter which of the five mountain cities is the Five Horse City, the Cloud Peak is above them, and in fact it is the most important place in the Five Horse City.

"Every year, a grand festival is held there to pray for good weather in the coming year. ”

Qi Qi asked, "Those blacksmiths were caught in Yunding. It can't be related to sacrifices. ”

Ayi replied: "Pigs and cattle are used for sacrifices, not people. The blacksmiths were caught building a bronze house. There used to be a copper house on the top of the clouds, which was damaged by lightning the year before last......"

Qi Qi and Hou Baowu didn't care so much about the rituals of the Tu people, they just needed a general understanding. To put it simply, the copper house is very important to the natives, and if the original one is broken, the natives will grab the blacksmith to repair it, and that's it.

"Ayi. Is it possible for us to go to Genting without alarming the natives?"

"No, I can't. I will never say yes. Either I'll go, or we'll not go. No matter what you say, I won't agree to let you take someone to Genting!"

Hou Baowu is a cat whose tail has been stepped on, and he also jumps violently. In the conversation just now, Ayi mentioned a way not to alarm the natives to the clouds. From the cliff of the back mountain, you can go straight to the top of the mountain.

After Qi Qi heard the news, he decided to let Hou Baowu answer in Wumapo. He led men up to save the blacksmith. When Hou Baowu heard Qi Qi's words, his whole body jumped. Qi Qi is the son of Hu Wei. It's the commander of this mission again, how dare he let Qi Qi take such a risk. ...,

"Little Wuzi. Don't be so excited, okay, listen to me slowly. Qi Qi tried to convince Hou Baowu. Touching the top of the cloud from the back mountain is skillful rather than brave, which is not suitable for Hou Baowu. On the Wumapo side, there needs to be a battle, so that Hou Baowu can play a better role.

As a leader, how to maximize the energy and motivation of his subordinates is the most important thing. It is not the ability to fight, but it is the right way to know people and make good use of them.

When Qi Qi was ten years old, Hu Wei once told him a story. said that there is an emperor, he is not literate, he is not good at martial arts, and he is even more pediatric, in addition to crying, he only has one ability, that is, he can use people. He knew exactly who should be used where, and in the end he achieved great success and established an immortal business.

Qi Qi was still young back then, and he couldn't quite understand the real meaning of the story Hu Wei said. As he grows older, whenever he recalls the story Hu Wei said, Qi Qi can have a new experience. Knowing and employing people is indeed a very important and very important science.

"I don't listen, in short, I will never agree!" Hou Baowu's temper came up, and he didn't agree with Qi Qi's decision to take people to Genting.

Qi Qi said angrily: "Hou Baowu, I'm not discussing with you now, this is an order! The military order is like a mountain, and those who violate the order will die!"

Qi Qi's words made Hou Baowu quiet down instantly. The most important point for the Immortal Bird Legion to establish the Han and Tang Empires is military discipline. Violating the order is a very strict crime, and now Qi Qi is the main general, Hou Baowu is the deputy general, and the words of the main general are orders.

Qi Qi saw that Hou Baowu finally quieted down, sighed, and said, "I understand your feelings, and I also know your kindness." But we're on the battlefield now, and this is a place where you can't get emotional. The task of going to Genting is not for you, you should know better than me where your abilities are, Wumapo is where you should go. ”

First hard and then soft, Hou Baowu was finally moved by Qi Qi. Although Qi Qi may not really cut off Hou Baowu's head if the quarrel continues, Hou Baowu understands that Qi Qi's decision can no longer be changed.

"I see. Qi Qi, you must promise me to come back safely!" Hou Baowu's eyes shot with deep affection. Qi Qi is his only friend, and they have gone through life and death together in the past few years, and this love cannot be bought by any amount of money.

Qi Qi slapped Hou Baowu on the shoulder and said, "You are the same, the battle of Wumapo must be fought beautifully!"

Hu Wei gave a total of 3,000 people this time. There weren't so many people from the back mountain to the top of the mountain, Qi Qi only selected a hundred who were more powerful at climbing the mountain, and the remaining 2,900 people were all handed over to Hou Baowu to command. This is also the first time that Hou Baowu has independently commanded so many soldiers and horses.

Before we set off in unison. Hou Bao Wubian Ayi pulled to the side, and told Sù Ayi very strictly, no matter what, he had to lead the way for Qi Qi. He must not be allowed any accidents.

There was no cheering, there was no such thing as killing the head of a chicken and burning yellow paper, all of them went to the back mountain under the leadership of Ayi. By now, he finally knew the real reason why Hu Wei had sent him this mission. Think alone, make independent judgments, and make the most correct decisions based on the form. This was Hu Wei's test for him.

Qi Qi bet that before sending him this mission, Hu Wei must have put himself in the shoes of the key and difficult points of the entire task, what needs to be done, and what should be done, Hu Wei has already been confident, but he didn't say a word, and he didn't have too many hints. It is to look at his appearance.

Qi Qi guessed correctly. Before giving him this task, Hu Wei not only considered the difficulty of the entire task, but even made certain arrangements. There is one thing that even Momiji doesn't know, by Qi Qi's side, there have always been people who have arranged for Hu Wei to protect him secretly. The people who are in the dark are Simon Snow and Simon Frost. ...,

Hu Wei made such a decision because the Simon sisters had reported to him that Qi Qi's appearance during that treasure hunt. In Hu Wei's opinion. Qi Qi should be able to get the blacksmith back.

At this time, Sister Ximen Xue was in Qi Qi's army, but Qi Qi and Hou Baowu didn't know this. If there are no surprises. They will never know.

Wuma City is a city without roads, if there is no acquaintance to lead the way. Those who turn around in three directions can lose themselves.

"There are often wild beasts in the mountain hooks ahead, so we better be careful. "Ayi grew up here and is really familiar with this place. From time to time, she pointed out to Qi Qi where she needed attention.

Ayi's younger brother was not in the team, and Qi Qi left him on Hou Baowu's side. This can be regarded as a small precaution, in case Ayi will make a ghost.

Although in every way, Ayi is not that kind of person. However, the heart of harming others must not be had, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. Ayi is still a stranger to Qiqi, and he can't be completely defenseless.

"You're familiar with this place, so come often. Qi Qi asked casually. Speaking from the heart, he is also very curious about Ayi, his father died alone with his younger brother, and he was humiliated, but he actually maintained such a good state of mind, which can be said to be a strange woman.

"There are a lot of wild plants in this area. Ayi replied indifferently. Her impression of Qi Qi is not as good as Hou Baowu's, Hou Baowu's temperament is more straightforward, and Qi Qi makes her feel like she can't see through.

Qi Qi sighed and said, "I've eaten wild vegetables before, and they taste pretty good." ”

"It's good to eat once a long time, but if you eat it for many years, then ......," Ayi said, shaking her head and not saying any more. If it was just her, it didn't matter to her whether she could leave here or not, but she also had a younger brother, and when her father died, she promised her father that she would take good care of his younger brother.

"This is it, we're up here. "There is no road to the place where Ayi pointed out to Qiqi, it is a cliff, almost straight up and down. Except for the occasional vine, all of them are white-flowered stones.

Qi Qi glanced at it, gasped, and said, "Can you really go up here?"

Ayi said: "Yes, my father once went up and stepped on the medicine. ”

"I didn't know your father was a doctor. Qi Qi was a little surprised. He only knew that Ayi's parents were dead, and what life and death were for, he didn't ask.

Ayi said: "He is a very good doctor, but unfortunately he still failed to cure his mother's illness. There is a medicine on the top of the cloud called Ganoderma lucidum grass, which is the most precious thing of the natives. His father knew that the natives would not give it to him, so he climbed up from here to steal it. Two days and two nights, I still remember that my father went for two days and two nights, and when he came back, he was covered with injuries. He got the Ganoderma lucidum grass, but he couldn't save his mother's life......"

Ayi's eyes finally had tears. Her father's affection and her mother's meager life seemed to be more touching than her own experience.

Qi Qi comforted: "They should already be living happily in another world by now. There is no sickness and no sorrow there. You should be happy for them. ”

Ayi took a deep breath and said calmly, "You're right, that's what my father said when he left. He told me to face any difficulties with a smile on my face. It's almost time. Let's go up. ”

What a strong girl, it is not necessarily a good thing to have such a strong girl in the world. But you must have this strength to survive in this world.

Qi Qi gently pulled Ayi and said, "This mountain is too difficult to climb, so don't go up." ”

Ayi looked weak. The mountain was too high and dangerous for her, and Qi Qi didn't want her to go through this ordeal again. ...,

Ayi glanced at Qi Qi deeply, shook his head and said, "I promised to show you the way." You can't go up this mountain without me to show you the way. If you don't get up, I'll never see my brother again. ”

Qi Qi shook violently, it turned out that Ayi knew everything. She knew that Qi Qi intended to keep her brother by Hou Baowu's side, but she just didn't show it.

Ashamed?

Qi Qi just didn't expect Ayi to see his intentions, and he was so ashamed that he wouldn't have it. As a commander. He was responsible for his soldiers. Ayi is a stranger no matter what he says, not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

"Well, I think you'd like to follow the path your father took. Qi Qi agreed. If Ayi didn't have such thoughts, she would never have said such a route.

"You're smart. Ayi said very seriously. It didn't seem appropriate to say such things to Qi Qi in her capacity. But she said it naturally.

Qi Qi smiled: "You are the same. ”

The mountain is difficult to climb, and Qi Qi carries five of his best soldiers. Carrying the rope behind Ayi, he had to grit his teeth almost every step he took.

Ayi walked at the forefront. Climb to the front, to be exact. Her body looked weak, as if the wind could blow it away. But with such a weak body, it is very stable to climb this mountain. There were places where there were no roads, and she could climb them with just a small protruding rock.

"Don't look down. Ayi said without looking back.

Qi Qi followed closely behind Ayi, and could faintly smell the body fragrance wafting from her body. From where Ayi crawled, some wetness could be seen, it was her sweat, and she climbed definitely not as easily as it seemed on the surface.

"Is there a place to rest?" Qi Qi thanked Chu Zhu at this moment. If it weren't for Chu Zhu's various training for him since he was a child, he was afraid that he would not be able to persevere now.

Walking on this kind of cliff requires more perseverance than physical fitness. Danger always makes people's nerves highly tense, and in such a situation, climbing more than ten meters upwards will make the body feel very tired. Without perseverance, it will be difficult to complete the road ahead.

"Fifty meters or so further up, there will be a cave where we can rest. When Ayi replied to Qi Qi, his body went up two meters lightly, and with only one hand, he was hung on the cliff by himself.

"You seem familiar. Qi Qi peeked at the soldiers behind him, and they were all gritting their teeth and holding on. This is an action that does not allow for mistakes, and once it misses, it will be shattered, and no one dares to be careless.

"My father told me that it used to be our home. ”

"Ever?" Qi Qi didn't react for a while, there were people living in such a place.

"Yes, ever. My father had imagined that when the war raged here, our family would be able to take refuge there. He did a lot of things for that, but unfortunately it was never realistic, and we didn't really live there. ”

This is the first time Qi Qi has heard Ayi's negative evaluation of her father, which shows that she is an independent person, what is right and what is wrong, she knows very well in her heart.

This place is nearly forty meters above the ground, so if there is really a cave on it, at least eighty meters, if this place is really burned by the flames of war, hiding in such a dangerous and high place, it can indeed be avoided. But people are not trees. Those who need water and food, live so high, eat and drink. Such an assumption would have been a mistake.

Finally arrived at the cave that Ayi said. Hou Baowu and the five soldiers were so tired that they almost crawled to the ground. If they didn't have a break from such a hole, they really didn't know if they would be able to make it to the top of the clouds.

"Take a sip of water. Qi Qi untied the kettle on his body and handed it to Ayi. Ayi came up empty-handed, with nothing on her. ...,

"What do you think of this place?" Ayi asked Qiqi. Although she criticized her father's idea of making this home unrealistic, she could see it. She was a little excited at the moment.

Qi Qi looked around the cave, there was some hay piled up in the middle of the cave, there was firewood on the edge of the cave, and there was actually a small water tank. It can be seen that Ayi's father has indeed put a lot of thought into decorating this place.

"Very nice. If you can stay for a few days, with the sky as your companion and the birds as your neighbors, it will be a lifelong memory. "Qi Qi's words are not compliments to Ayi, in addition to the inconvenience of life here, it is indeed very good. At first sight, a large area of scenery is in full view, and birds fly in front of the cave from time to time. It's close to the sky. Far away from the ugliness of the world, even the heart can calm down.

Finally reaching Genting, the road was not easy. Of the five soldiers Qi Qi brought, two of them fell down. At the moment when the soldier missed, Qi Qi really wanted to reach out and pull it, but his reason told him. You can't do that. Reach out and pull, and even he will fall.

Neither of the two missing soldiers made a sound. When they fell, they covered their mouths. Didn't let yourself scream out of panic.

Before the second soldier fell, he was right next to Qi Qi, and the place he grabbed was the same one Qi Qi had caught a minute earlier. The stone was steady, but unfortunately he was exhausted and his hands could no longer support his weight.

"Put the rope down. Qiqi said to the remaining three soldiers. Because of the loss of two comrades, the atmosphere will be a bit dull.

This is Genting, and there is no higher mountain around. Under Ayi's guidance, Qi Qi saw the copper house and the blacksmith.

"Are you coming with us, or are you going down from here?" Qi Qi asked Ayi. There will be a bloody battle next, and someone will die. Ayi is not a soldier, and she is not obligated to go through this.

Ayi said: "It's easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, my father lost here back then, I'm not sure I can successfully go down from here, I'll go with you." ”

Ayi is not afraid of death, she is afraid that her brother will have no one to take care of, so she can't die. Her younger brother is her only hope for survival, and if it weren't for her younger brother, she would have been without this life a long time ago.

Qi Qi and Hou Baowu both thought that Ayi could calmly face the abolition of the natives against her, in fact, no woman could endure being abused for many years. Ayi is just downplayed, she doesn't allow herself to be sad, let alone seek death, she has to leave this life to take care of her younger brother.

"Next, maybe you'll see blood, aren't you really afraid?" Qi Qi couldn't help but ask. No matter how Ayi looks at it, she is a weak woman, and people can't help but feel pity for her.

Ayi smiled and didn't answer Qiqi's words. For her, there is nothing in this world that can make her afraid, she is no longer afraid of death, what else is there to be afraid of.

With a rope hanging down, it is much easier for the soldiers behind. But even so, they still lost another five soldiers, and only ninety-five out of a hundred soldiers managed to reach Genting, which shows how difficult the road is.

"Let's take a break and wait for the signal from Baowu. ”

Qi Qi found a place to sit down, they are the highest here, there will be no guards, as long as they are not exposed, they will not be discovered by the people on the side.

Because it is uncertain how long it will take to go up the mountain, Qi Qi and Hou Baowu have set a relatively loose time for this plan, and now that Qi Qi is in place, Hou Baowu still needs to prepare.

"I guess you must be the son of a big man, right?" Ayi sat down beside Qiqi, her clothes completely soaked, and she could faintly see the scenery inside.

Qi Qi took off his coat, handed it to Ayi, and said, "It's windy here, put it on." As for my family, there is nothing to say, I have an amazing father, and the current one qiē was given to me by my father. ”...,

"It's good to have a good father, and my father is a good father. ”

The firelight in the distance flashed three times, which was the signal agreed between Qi Qi and Hou Baowu. Qi Qi saw the firelight rising, the first step of action has been successful, and the next step is the second step.

"Are you going?" Ayi also stood up in unison.

"Do you want to come with me?" Qi Qi looked at Ayi as if he had the intention of following him, and felt a little surprised.

"Yes, I'll come with you, and maybe I can help you. Ayi returned Qiqi's clothes to him. It was a black cloth coat, and it should be useful in a while.

Qi Qi will have to connect with those blacksmiths, and this time the blacksmiths must also cooperate with the full force of the blacksmiths, otherwise this Yunding will be their burial place.

"Oh well. Qi Qi thought about it and felt that sometimes with a girl by his side, the success rate of doing things was higher. Anyway, if you don't go now, Ayi will have to follow the soldiers over in a while.

Touch down from the top of the mountain, and you don't need Ayi to guide you along the way. Where there are soldiers, where there is danger, Qi Qi has been observing for a long time, and he knows everything well.

The blacksmith has finished his work for the day, and is ready to rest after dinner. Workers don't need much entertainment, and their greatest entertainment is a good night's sleep.

"When we go in later, don't act rashly. Qi Qi told Ayi. Because this is a Jedi, the blacksmith and Ben have no way to run, and the guards of the natives are not arranged here, so Qi Qi can go in and communicate with the blacksmith directly.

Ayi nodded, indicating that she understood Qi Qi's words, and followed closely behind Qi Qi.

"Brother, you are the one who has the bright path. Instead of immediately going to talk to a large group of blacksmiths, Qi Qi found a lone one.

"Who are you?" the blacksmith looked at Qi Qi warily. He had been arrested here for more than a year, and no one had ever spoken to him like this, and Qi Qi's sudden appearance surprised him.

Qi Qi said: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you go home." ”

"Go home!" the blacksmith's eyes lit up and darkened. When I first arrived, everyone wanted to go home. There are still wives and children at home, and their parents and relatives are waiting for them to go back.

But after being arrested here for more than a year, no one dared to mention the word 'home' again, and every time he mentioned it, it was two lines of tears. The way home seemed to be closed to them.

"We're here to take you home, back to Dragon City, back to Guangming Road!" Qi Qi said with great certainty. He had to give confidence.

"Can you really go home?" the blacksmith glared at Qi Qi. He certainly hoped it was true.

Qi Qi smiled heartily and said, "Of course it's true, I promise in the name of the Immortal Bird Legion!" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
