Chapter 263: Travel to the Western Regions (II)

The carriage is vast and winding west along the ancient road.

The car was walking on the ancient road at sunrise and stayed overnight. Through Hangu Pass, crossed Guanzhong and headed north to Pingliang.

Along the way, the 100-man young army led by Daniu and Dadao regarded the marching as training. They made great progress under the careful teachings of Li Qi and Liu Xiongwei. Regardless of observing the situation, all of them learned well, and even their minds were much more mature, which was a world of difference from the ignorant young man when they left.

On the evening of the day, the group followed the secret notes left by Liu Xiongwei to the front of a towering mountain.

Li Qi tightened the reins and stopped, looking at the black unicorn mountain in front of him and said, "Your Highness, let's stop first and wait for news from Brother Liu."

"Okay," Yang laughed a little, looked up at the towering mountain in front of him and frowned, "Do you want to climb over this mountain?"

"Yes Your Highness"

"The mountains are high and the forests are lush, and this mountain looks mysterious."

"Your Highness really has a wise eye. This mountain is called Liupan Mountain. There is a group of horse thieves on the mountain. There are three leaders in the horse thieves, all of whom are very skilled in martial arts. The big leader is called Wei Dongyang and he heard that he is a famous swordsman in the world. He has about 500 bandits and bandits, and he specializes in robbing the passing merchant Brother Liu to explore the way. We wait for him for a while. Tonight, we have to stay here."

Listening to Li Qi reporting the number of horse thieves, Yang Xiao's eyebrows were even deeper. Four or five hundred horse thieves had already become a big hit in the "peaceful era". It would be a big disaster if the family robbed them.

"This place is under the jurisdiction of Guyuan. Do Guyuan have military troops?" Yang Xiao asked.

"No, there are only a hundred yamen runners," Li Qi replied.

"What about Liangzhou Prefecture?"

"There is nowhere to be reached"

"What's the point of being too far?" Yang Xiao snorted coldly, "I think they are corpse-like food."

"Who is the governor of Liangzhou now? How many soldiers are there?"

Li Qi said: "The guard of Liangzhou Prefecture is called Maxun, and the soldiers in the palace are about 20,000."

"Twenty thousand soldiers in the palace dare to learn from Huainan, Jiangnan does not pay tax silver." Yang Xiao remembered Mr. Zhu and talked about the matter of the tax silver in Jiuzhou, and said with a sneer, "He is very brave."

Yang Xiao paused and said, "By the way, has Maxun suppressed Wei Dongyang?"

"I heard that I have suppressed it, but the terrain of Liupan Mountain is bizarre. After coming several times, I returned without success. What's more, behind Liupan Mountain is the jurisdiction of Lanzhou Prefecture, which is also considered a zone of no-cost."

At this time, Yang Xiao could understand that the group of horse thieves in the two palaces also knew how to use the terrain to deal with Liangzhou and Lanzhou.

"How did you get through before?"

Li Qi said: "This group of horse thieves are trustworthy. They just want to seek wealth and will not easily hurt people's lives. If they encounter them, they will be allowed 30% of their goods."

"Oh" Yang Xiao was surprised. This group of horse thieves looked not simple. They knew how to 'sleep a long line to catch big fish' without fishing in the lake and hunting in the forest. "It seems that Wei Dongyang is not a simple person."

Li Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, Your Highness, what should we do? If we were to let him 30% of the time, it would be irrelevant. This time we brought new weapons, how could we promise him?"

Just as Yang Xiao was about to answer, the scout sent by Liu Xiongwei in the distance was rushing towards him on a horse.

In a short while, the scout came to the two of them, turned over and dismounted, and said respectfully: "Report to His Highness Changsun, General Li, my subordinates have found news that the horse thieves on the mountain have gone to Lanzhou in the past few days. General Liu sent a small person to tell His Highness that he could cross the mountain overnight."

Yang Xiao and Li Qi were overjoyed when they heard this and thought that his luck was not very good. It was a headache for these five hundred bandits to occupy the favorable terrain. If they really fight, they wouldn't be afraid of having a weapon for killing, but they might lose a lot.

"Where is your general?" Li Qi asked.

"We general led people to explore the way forward," the scout responded.

"Your Highness, then let's climb the mountain as well," Li Qi said half-inquiring.

Yang Xiao nodded and smiled, "Brother Li doesn't have to ask for my opinion on everything. I am a young man in this regard. You can follow your old methods."

Li Qi was so angry that although Master Yang is now the Lord Changsun, he still uses people as much as before.

"Tell me to order it down and get everything done. Everyone puts the soul-catching crossbow and earth bomb on their waists to prevent accidents." Li Qi shouted.

"Yes, my subordinates obey the order." The scout responded, stepped on his horse and sent the order back.

####################################################

Liupan Mountain is famous all over the world for its six-level pandao and is also a natural barrier in Guanzhong.

Liupan Mountain is a north-south crossing the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia jiāo border, with its majestic momentum and majestic tinges.

Moonlight shines

The fire on the sixth-fold track is shining, and the car is rushing

Everyone who was rushing all night climbed to the main road in the middle of the night. Apart from the gurgling water, there were only the sound of horses and the sound of gasping for people.

The main force of the horse thief was not on the mountain, and it was unobstructed along the way. Occasionally, one or two horse thieves were on the mountain road and wanted to stop him, but they saw a crowd of fully armed people running into the forest in a panic.

Liu Xiongwei still led a hundred people to explore the way forward, while the remaining soldiers from the valley and the big bull, and the one hundred young soldiers led by Dadao were scattered around the carriage to protect the carriage.

Just as everyone was walking forward silently, a sudden horse cry came from the mountain road in the distance.

Li Qi frowned, tied the reins, waved his right hand to the back, and the carriage stopped. Everyone hurriedly took out the soul-snatching crossbow and lie down with the carriage.

Qing'er also stood beside Yang Xiao with his sword, and his eyes were also looking away clearly.

The mountains are quiet, and the sound of horse hooves can be heard very clearly. After a while, the sound of horse hooves ran to the corner of the mountain road ahead.

After listening for a while, Li Qi's frowning brows also stretched out.

"Your Highness, it's Brother Liu here"

It was Liu Xiongwei's return, but Yang Xiao locked his eyebrows. If there were no other abnormal situations, Liu Xiongwei would not have given it back in person.

Seeing that Li Qi was a little slack, Yang Xiao turned his head and looked at him and said, "Let everyone be on guard."

Li Qi was stunned when he heard this, but he made another gesture without any doubt, and then jumped off his horse and walked towards Yang Xiao.

"Your Highness, is there any abnormality?"

"I don't know, Brother Liu is afraid that something difficult to solve before he comes back at this time."

Just as the two of them were talking, a torch reflected Liu Xiongwei's happy face and jumped into everyone's eyes.

"Your Highness, Your Highness--" Liu Xiongwei shouted excitedly.

Yang Xiao and the others stood up and walked towards Liu Xiongwei's place.

The horse "Xi Yuyu" ran to the front, and Liu Xiongwei leaped down and said excitedly: "District-down, in front of me, I saw the prince-concubine--"

"mother?"

"Master?"

Yang Xiao and Qing'er looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

About a month ago, Li Chun said that it was that early that morning, Taoist Qingyun originally wanted to go to Zhujinfang, but when he crossed Luoshui River, he met Yuan Tiangang and the former leader of the Cao Gang, Master Wang. Then the brother and sister went to chase Master Wang together. How could they meet him in this place? Did Master Wang escape here?

Thinking of this, Yang Xiao asked quickly: "How many people did you see with your own eyes?"

Liu Xiongwei turned his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Three people, one of them is an old Taoist with white beards, and the other is facing away from me, with one arm, and the back is a little familiar."

"It's them, it's them." Yang Xiaogang muttered to himself, and then he felt the figures around him swaying, and a crisp sound of Qing'er could be heard in his ears: "Monster huā, you are waiting here, I'll go see the master."

Yang Xiao was stunned and looked up. Only the clear white shirt flashed at the corner of the mountain and disappeared.

When did this girl become so popular? Master Wang heard that the relics of the ancestor of the Li family were even more difficult, especially his Taoist

"Big Niu, bring fifty people to see me and Brother Liu. Brother Li, you will pass Liupanshan first as planned. If we don't come back, we will meet in Lanzhou Prefecture." Yang Xiao hurriedly ordered.

"Okay, don't worry, Your Highness."

"Be careful about everything. If you encounter any situation, just use a bomb to greet you. Don't care if it's enough. We will get all the packages after arriving in Lanzhou Prefecture. Fortunately, Sister Qing'er will make it."

"Your Highness, I understand."

Yang Xiao gave a few more instructions, and then led the young soldiers led by Daniu and rushed forward with Liu Xiongwei.

As soon as the horse ran over the corner, Liu Xiongwei led everyone away from the avenue and winded up towards a path next to it.

"Brother Liu, will Sister Qing'er take the wrong path?" Yang Xiao asked worriedly after leaving the master.

"I don't know how to do your Highness, this is a shortcut to go up and then back to the road." Liu Xiongwei explained.

Several people rode their horses up, and when it was rugged, they got off the horse and led the horse past. After walking for half a stick of incense, they returned to the road.

"The forest in front is just there." Liu Xiongwei stopped at this time, pointed to the forest opposite the road and said in a low voice.

After Liu Xiongwei finished speaking, he hugged his palms and held them in his mouth, exhaled and screamed, "Gog--" and spread in the quiet woods in a very profound way.

"Gugugugu--" As soon as the voice fell, a response came from a distance. After a while, a scout dressed in yào walked out of the woods.

"Goudan, are the Crown Princess and the others still here?"

The scout named Goudan shook his head and said, "Your Highness Changsun, the head, the Crown Princess and the others are so fast. After a while, they ran away again. Brother Fang took a few people to follow him."

"Have you seen a girl in white?" Yang Xiao asked.

"Report to your Highness, I saw the girl very quickly. When I came, the Crown Princess and the others had just left, so my subordinates pointed the direction and asked her to chase her."

Yang Xiao frowned again. Sister Qing'er was reckless this time. It was probably not easy for Master Wang to escape calmly under the pursuit of two masters, Yuan Tiangang and Taoist Qingyun.

"Your Highness, what should I do now?"

"Follow and take a look," Yang Zhi said decisively, "Goudan, you are waiting for General Li here and report the letter to them."

"It's Your Highness"

"Then let's go." Yang Xiao rode on the horse and chased after him along the secret tail.
