Chapter 8 Beyond Beishan Road, an arrow will come south()
"Even if you are looking for someone to pick you up, the choice of location is also very important. If you let me decide, I would rather put the pick up location on a certain avenue than on the pine cone."
Ning Que looked at the eye-catching ink spot just marked on the hand-drawn map, and said, “They chose to walk along Beishan Road, but they didn’t want to think that although it was a single road, there was a seven-mile long road with dense forest on both sides. Easy to set up."
After saying this, he was silent for a moment, put the hand-painted map in his clothes, shook his head and laughed at himself: "It seems that the so-called guide, besides bringing them into Beishan Road, is more just trying to confuse Enemy. The idiot princess has never believed in General Ma, and naturally she will not believe me."
"An idiot brought a group of idiots." Thinking of the ambushes that he might have encountered in Beishan Road, thinking of the support troops with or without, his mood became heavier and more lost, and he lowered his voice and said fiercely: " After staying on the prairie for nearly a year, she didn’t become smarter. I really don’t know where she got her good name."
With a sound, Ning Que drew out the three knives that still had rust marks in their sheaths, unscrewed the water sac to wet the grindstone, and began to sharpen the blade in silence. It may be late, but at least it can calm the mood.
"If you enter Beishan Road and separate from them, what do you want to do with the old gentleman?" Sangsang asked in a daze.
"Being alive is the most important." Ning Que lowered his head and sharpened his knife, moving slowly and firmly, "As long as we can reach Chang'an alive, we will always have the opportunity to learn those things. If the two of us put our lives in the hands of these idiots , There is no possibility."
The climate is warmer as it goes south, and the scenery outside the car windows should be more fresh and green, but as the team enters the vast Minshan Mountains, the grass around the team gradually fades and becomes a sidewalk. The high trees in the greet, the leaves are not yet completely green and green, and still retain the sense of killing that accumulated last autumn and winter.
As the temperature between heaven and earth dropped slightly, a tense and depressive atmosphere enveloped the entire fleet. Everyone knew that the great figure in Chang'an who dared to murder Her Royal Highness, if he wanted to prevent her from being safe Returning to the capital, Minshan, between the frontier fortress and the state and county, is his last chance.
During tense vigilance and searching, the convoy walked for several days and finally arrived at the outskirts of the Beishan Pass. Looking at the dense forest covering the sky, most of the people in the team did not show a worried look like Ning Que. On the contrary, it seemed to relax a lot.
The delicate maid’s time for chatting with Sangsang has become much less these days, and she spends most of her time in the second carriage. When she got out of the car in the evening, she had a touch of light on her face. Smile.
When she decided to leave the grassland, she had already sent an envoy into the empire in advance. Although she could not reach Chang'an in a short time for the court to send a large number of troops to respond, the envoy had enough time to contact those loyal to her. subordinate.
Ten days ago, after receiving an emergency receipt from Gushan County, she did not hesitate to decide to go straight to Beishan Road because she believed that the young captain of Gushan County, Huashan Mountain, should have led his relatives. The barracks are about to reach the southern exit of Beishan Road.
It's only a year after leaving Datang. She firmly believes that those subordinates who are loyal to her are still loyal to her. Even if some people are bought by the woman in the palace, Huashan Mountain will never be bought by anyone, because... he looks at her. Always so gentle.
When there was more than 30 miles away from the agreed meeting place, the convoy began to camp in the twilight and walked through the dense forest late at night. No matter from which angle, it was a very risky behavior. She was even advised by a guard. The team simply waited outside the North Mountain Crossing, waiting for the troops from Huashan Mountain to arrive.
She is still thinking about this proposal, but no matter how she looks at it, she and Xiao Man are now very safe, so smiles reappeared on her delicate cheeks, and the joy and laughter that had been suppressed for several days returned to the camp.
In the twilight, a simple tent was set up lonely on the periphery of the round car formation. The princess’s guard leader raised questions, but the owner of the tent insisted on this, and refused to move in by five carriages and bins. The formation of the car array.
"Stay far from their car array, in case something happens, how can you run away."
Ning Que explained with a mockery. He tied the **** umbrella with straw rope so that Sangsang carried it, and then tied the knot of the straw rope into a very beautiful flower.
Sangsang raised his head, looked at his stubble's pale blue jaw, and asked: "We ran away, what do they do?"
Ning Que was checking whether the bowstring was damp. He turned his head after hearing this question and looked at the little maid’s dark face quietly. After a long silence, he said seriously: "You may have forgotten what happened when you were a child. , But I did not forget."
"You were mine out of the dead, and I was able to survive when I was a kid, and I have experienced tragic things that most people can't imagine."
"Sangsang, you have to remember this forever. We are very hard and very hard... even after fighting this life to be able to continue to live in this world. Since we have survived so hard, then we shall You cannot die easily."
After finishing this sentence, Ning Que did not give too much explanation. He inserted the polished simple knife back into the sheath, and then tied it with straw rope a few times. After trying, the distance between the sheaths was just right. Lost to the back.
Sangsang didn't ask anything more, and began to pack her bags silently, testing the straightness of each arrow with her little hand. She knew that the moment night fell, it was the time to join Ning Que to the vast Minshan Mountain. She was not afraid, because when she was a child, on Ning Que's back, she had walked through such dark night mountains countless times.
At this moment, Ning Que's hand holding the scabbard stiffened slightly.
The curtain of the simple tent was opened with a hand, and the maid walked in, and the smile on her delicate face suddenly turned into a chill.
She was planning to come and chat with Sangsang, but she didn't expect to see this scene of the master and servant packing up their luggage, and it was easy to guess that they wanted to leave.
"What do you want to do." She stared at Ning Que's face indifferently, and said, "At this moment, it's hard not to doubt your behavior."
Ning Que was silent for a while and laughed, preparing to explain a few words. Suddenly his ears trembled slightly, the dimples on his cheeks disappeared, turning into a solemn he had never seen before, and he quickly carried three knives behind him. Very rudely stripped away the maid out of the tent.
The campsite is outside the North Mountain Crossing, and there is no dense forest shelter. Bathed in the last twilight, it is very warm and comfortable, but at this moment it seems to be stained with blood red.
The wind travels through the forest that has just awakened in the spring, whistling and whispering, as if a ghost is crying, Ning Que frowned and looked at the depths of the dense forest, carefully listening to the details in the whining, suddenly loudly Roared: "Enemy attack!"
The murmur in the whisper of the forest wind finally revealed the truth, a feather arrow struck from the forest like lightning, whistling, and shooting at the luxurious carriage in the carriage!
