The first thousand one hundred and ninety-two chapters deep mountain journey
On June 10, Feixu Pass was on the northern border of Xishan Province.
The days when willow catkins were supposed to be flying, but now it is snowing. The soldiers are still wearing thick winter cotton clothes, raising the armor high.
Outside the pass, the drums were sounding, which was the challenge of the Shang army.
"here we go again."
Tang Zhen frowned: "This is the third time. Every time, only two hundred cavalry come and go in a hurry. When we leave the customs, they run away. What is the Shang army thinking?"
Feng Jixing dusted the snow on the city wall and smiled and said, "I think Wu Shang and Xun Xi didn't plan to fight really, they just bluffed and sent a letter of feather to several other passes to let them take strict precautions. We are just feinting attacks here, maybe there are real attacks elsewhere. We must always pass news and be ready for reinforcements at any time."
"Yes, Fengshuo."
Tang Zhen turned around and Feng Jixing narrowed his eyes and said, "Zhang Wei, Lin Xun, what do you think Yang Shang is thinking? Why do you want to feint attack our pass?"
Zhang Wei said carelessly: "Just as Your Highness said, they are just bluffing!"
Lin Xun frowned and said, "Your Highness, this may have other profound meanings. Xun Xi, a military advisor of the Shang army, is not a foolish person. He must have his intention to do this."
"Oh? What's the purpose?"
"I can't guess it, but I guess I'm going to keep our main force here... Perhaps, they have a large space law book that can transfer the army to our rear, work together to break the barrier, or directly attack the empty Xiping Prefecture and catch us off guard."
"Don't worry about this." Feng Jixing smiled slightly: "The number of people that can be transmitted by the Book of Law of Space can be very small, and the few hundred and thousands of people cannot reverse the situation. Don't forget that there are a total of 100,000 people who stay in Xiping City."
Lin Xun said: "Then I can't guess Xun Xi's intention."
"That's right to pay close attention to their movements and the movements of the Tianjue Empire."
"yes!"
Feng Jixing tightened his cloak, walked down the steps, and said, "It's getting colder and colder. What the hell is the weather? I'm going to the gate to rest. You guys are so lucky to guard."
"Your Highness walks slowly!"
Looking at Feng Jixing's back as he was leaving, Lin Xun smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Zhang Wei, do you think... have our King of King Xin lost confidence in fighting in the Shang Kingdom?"
"Why do you say that?" Zhang Wei looked puzzled.
"Otherwise, he would have told his thoughts in one sentence just now, but he didn't say that. Your Highness knew how powerful that Xun Xi was. This time it was said that the entire Shang Dynasty was all organized by Xun Xi, so Your Highness might be..."
"Don't think too much." Zhang Wei patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Do you think Your Highness Xin's strategy will lose to Xun Xi? But I don't think that since my old Zhang joined the imperial guards, I have never seen Your Highness Xin be defeated. Even if I am a veteran, I have never been at a disadvantage in the battle situation with Your Highness Qin. Don't worry, how big a wave can Xun Xi do?"
"Even so, we must act carefully."
"Well, Lord Lin Xun is on duty tonight, so you should pay more attention to the situation inside and outside the pass."
"good."
...
There is still no war in Hongyan City. The bored Lin Muyu took Tang Xiaoxi, Qin Yin, Wei Qiu and others into the mountains to hunt. On the one hand, they passed the time, and on the other hand, they moved their hands and feet, and at the same time they hunted some military rations for the army.
Shenlu Mountain is more than 300 miles away from Hongyan City. Even hunters rarely enter such deep mountains. The snow melts a lot and reveals the ground, so that war horses can still pass through.
On this trip, Lin Muyu and others did not wear any robes and armor, but just went into battle with light clothes. Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi dressed like two beautiful folk women. Lin Muyu and Wei Qiu were wearing dark blue clothes and surrounded by animal skins, like hunters. If the war horse under their crotch were not very majestic, others would probably really think they were hunters.
"Look at that."
Tang Xiaoxi pointed to the distance and said, "There is a bird!"
Sure enough, a hawk stayed there on the branch, looking around, and it looked like it was definitely four or five pounds, quite plump.
Qin Yin smiled and said, "It's about two hundred meters away from us. Let's draw the bow together to see who can shoot?"
"Okay, Wei Qiu is not allowed to shoot arrows." Lin Muyu pulled out a white diamond arrow from the horse's back.
Wei Qiu smiled but said nothing, but just held his fists and saluted to express his agreement. If Wei Qiu also shot and killed him, then he would definitely be the one who took the lead. In terms of archery, Qin Yin, Tang Xiaoxi, and Lin Muyu were all good archery techniques, but they were much inferior to Wei Qiu. Wei Qiu was much stronger in terms of arm strength and accuracy.
"Brush..."
At the same time, three bowstrings vibrate, and the hawks on the branches in the distance suddenly landed on the ground!
"I'll go and have a look!"
Lin Muyu slapped away and bent down to pick up the hawk from the ground. It was a heavy and heavy body, with a lot of flesh. The hawk's body was shot through by an arrow. The arrow's lifting rod was engraved with a thin word "Tang". It was actually shot by Tang Xiaoxi. As for Lin Muyu and Qin Yin's arrows, they seemed to have been shot in a crooked manner.
"It's Xiao Xi's prey." Lin Muyu raised the hawk and smiled, "It weighs seven or eight pounds. We already have a delicious meal to make soup tonight."
Wei Qiu laughed: "Princess Xi is indeed a good archery technique!"
Tang Xiaoxi pursed her red lips and smiled, "Everyone can praise me, but Wei Qiu, you can't praise me. Once you praise me, I feel like you are mocking me!"
"Haha, I won't praise you anymore, I won't praise you anymore."
Wei Qiuce immediately stepped forward, but suddenly curled his smile and said, "Sir, be careful, something seems to be slowly approaching us, maybe it is a beast!"
Sure enough, there was a sound of heavy trampling on short branches from the hillside behind Lin Muyu. A huge creature appeared there, a bear, and a spirit beast with six golden lines on its forehead.
"Good guy!"
Wei Qiu smiled and said, "It's Yan Xiong, a spiritual beast that is naturally good at the power of the law of flames. The Yan Xiong that has been 6,000 years old is quite rare!"
"roar!"
Yan Xiong on the hillside roared at Lin Muyu and others, and flames kept erupting around him. Obviously, this big guy really warned Lin Muyu and others to step into its territory. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to know how powerful this group of people were, and it didn't know that there was a good god among these people!
Sikong Yao said, "Brother, Yanxiong is a good thing, and the fur is very valuable. It is said that it is very warm in winter and even hot. Although Yanxiong's meat is a bit rough, it will smell very good if cooked. After eating it, it can keep the cold. Yanxiong's blood contains the power of the law of flame, can make medicine, and has miraculous effects on frostbite."
"So this guy is full of treasures?"
Lin Muyu smiled slightly: "Who will solve it?"
Although it is a spirit beast of six thousand years, to be honest, anyone present can easily kill it. After all, no one in this group is a fuel-efficient lamp.
Wei Qiu said: "Let me do it. Since Yan Xiong's fur is so good, we must maintain the integrity of the bear fur. We guarantee that an arrow shot through our eyes, penetrates our brain without passing through our heads, leaving no traces. Sir, please rush for me to attract Yan Xiong's attention."
"good."
Lin Muyu stepped forward, raised the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand gently, and laughed jokingly: "Bear, do you have the will of fighting to the death with me?"
"Roar!"
Yan Xiong was furious in the face of the provocation, while Qin Yin, Tang Xiaoxi and Sikong Yao smiled. It was rare to see Lin Muyu do this again, which made Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi feel like they were back to the past. At that time, everyone had no burden and were extremely comfortable in life.
"court death!"
Lin Muyu's arm slightly shook, and suddenly the mysterious power of the chaotic horse was dancing under the horse's hooves, and it was about to explode, but this was just to attract Yan Xiong's attention. The real killing move was not Yi Yao Cang, but a sharp arrow flying against Lin Muyu's shoulder!
"puff!"
With one arrow, it was as Wei Qiu said. The 6,000-year-old Yan Xiong snorted and fell straight down, his body twitched a few times, and he died.
Several imperial guards cheered: "The guard commander is good archery skills!"
Wei Qiu clasped his fists and smiled: "Go and get blood quickly. Yan Xiong's blood can be diluted and prepared thousands of bottles of frostbite medicine. This is a good baby!"
"yes!"
Several imperial guards stepped forward one after another, took out empty water bags, cut open the fur on Yan Xiong's abdomen with a sharp sword, and began to extract blood. The blood seemed to be flowing endlessly. In a blink of an eye, seven or eight water bags were filled, all hanging on the horse's back.
He brought only four imperial guards, so Wei Qiu decided to do it himself, pull out the dagger on his waist, and began to peel Yan Xiong on the spot. After peeling, he decomposes it. Most of the meat pieces were put into the space bag, otherwise the war horse would not be able to bear the weight. This bear weighs at least five or six hundred pounds, and no war horse can carry it for a long time.
After looking at the sky, Lin Muyu said, "Let's find a place to rest. It's dark soon. At night, the swift wolf pack will come out to find food. I'm afraid that it will be very troublesome if we are targeted."
"yes."
...
The campsites in the mountains were very difficult to find. After sunset, everyone finally found a habitat in a valley, set up a tent, lit a bonfire, and started cooking supper.
Along the way, there were many hunters, hares, deer, hawks and fat fish in the river. The prey hunted by Wei Qiu alone weighed nearly a ton, all in the space bag, so I cooked five pots of food for dinner, including flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water. Anyway, it was very important to come out to relax and practice, and eating well.
The fat fish meat was tender and the falcon meat was delicious, so Lin Muyu ate four big bowls, and then leaned against the tent with confidence and napping. Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi went into the tent to cover the bedding and so on.
At this moment, Wei Qiu looked to the north alertly and said, "It seems that someone is coming!"
"The people who come here in this deep mountain and wild ridge may not be humans." Lin Muyu said with a smile.
Sikong Yao laughed: "Why does it sound a little creepy?"
In the darkness, an imperial guard walked quickly with his war horse and said, "His Royal Highness, there were several people coming over there, claiming to be lost business travelers. Their fire notes were wet with snow. They wanted to come over and borrow a fire from us."
"Oh? Let them come."
