Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Six hundred and seventeen, Xu Yanbo
The darkness of the night is not so bright because of the starry sky.
In the silent mountains, birds and beasts live in the depths of the mountains, or stand and doze on the trees, or are searching for food from the dry vegetation.
Li Hong and the others threw the carriage on the side of the road, and they were being quietly surrounded by a few people in black at this moment, with a low voice: "Shoot."
In the pitch-black air, there was the sound of arrows breaking through the air in an instant, swish, bang, and bang. The arrows either went through the curtain into the carriage or hit the body of the carriage. on.
The air froze again in an instant, and several dark shadows were holding their crossbows, and they approached the carriage nervously and cautiously. One quickly raised the curtain, and the others shot again, but there was still no sound in the carriage.
"My lord, it seems that the carriage was just thrown here." A man in black lowered his voice.
"It seems that the flaw was discovered by them, but where did this flaw leak out?" The called adult muttered, but he was puzzled in his mind. The plan was sufficiently detailed, why is it still There are flaws.
"What do you do now? They threw the carriage here, apparently escaping into the mountains." The man in black looked at the night when his fingers were invisible, and his eyes were darkened. He could only see it vaguely. The adult's beard is a little pale and fuzzy.
"This is a rare opportunity. Even if they enter the mountain early, they are not familiar with the terrain here. They must find them before dawn, or wait for the dawn to encircle them in the mountains. It's harder." The adult's tone was filled with regret and anxiety.
After finishing talking, he began to lead the black man behind him, walking carefully on the rugged and uneven roads in the mountains, relying on the feeling under his feet and the dim vision after adapting to the dark night. Begin to explore carefully forward.
Wei Tuqi only felt that a shadow that did not know whether it was a human or a ghost flashed away in front of him, and the crossbow in his hand was aimed at that side instantly, and at the same time he whispered: "Who?"
"My lord, they are coming here." The figure hurriedly protected his heart and said.
At this time, I didn't dare to be careless. The sky was too dark to see clearly, so I could only answer immediately, fearing that it would be ruthlessly shot by the crossbow arrows at night.
"Have a close eye, I'll tell your Highness." Wei Tuqi walked up to the figure guardingly, and after confirming the identity of the person, he put down the crossbow in his hand and patted the person approvingly. Shoulders, and then walked back.
At the camp, Li Hong walked out with Bai Chun and tried his best to adapt to the dark night. He looked up at the starry sky and cursed involuntarily: "Damn, Where is the moon?"
"Your Highness, they are approaching." Wei Tuqi whispered.
"Have you chosen the route?" Li Hong poked his neck and looked down at the foot of the mountain, but all he could see was pitch black.
"The choice is good. We lure them up the mountain. Some people will come back behind them, attack them, and then follow the second road uphill, and then go south." Wei Tuqi had no reservations and turned himself The plan was given to Li Hong.
"Yes, it's no longer the stubborn person, so remember to be careful." Li Hong nodded and said.
Then he glanced at Bai Chun behind him. The stars in the sky were blinking mischievously. Bai Chun's thoughts were full of thoughts. In order to relieve his tension, he has been looking at the stars since he came out.
"Follow me." Li Hong whispered, then took Bai Chun's hand, followed Wei Tuqi, and walked halfway up the mountain.
"Why don't we run directly into the mountains?" Bai Chun staggered under his feet, suddenly said.
"We can’t run away, unless we can fly. No one is familiar with the path on the mountain. We open our way in front. If the chaser follows our path to catch up, we will not be as fast as them, and we will be overtaken in one night. , Then he will completely expose his back." Li Hong patiently explained to Bai Chun.
Then again, following the dozens of soldiers who were detoured by Wei Tuqi's orders, they began to circle behind the chasers, and they walked forward. Wei Tuqi and the others lured the chasers, but for the sake of safety, they could only go to the enemy. Go behind and see if you can find a way out for yourself, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.
At this time, it was naturally not the time to give play to his benevolence of loving soldiers like a child. In order to protect himself, Li Hong had to put his two hundred guards and two personal eunuchs in the open to confuse the enemy and protect himself.
Following Li Hong, Bai Chun's heart is like a small deer ramming around, both the tension of participating in the war for the first time, and the sweet happiness of being held by Li Hong. In short, two completely different mentalities. , Spread and grow at the same time in her heart.
Similarly, like Li Hong in this life, the previous life, or any life, he continues to prove a truth: women, men for 100 million years, don’t even try to understand what they are thinking.
I don’t know when, the moonlight suddenly emerged from a large expanse of thick clouds. With traces of white moonlight, it poured down like mercury, and the earth, which was originally pitch black as ink, began to show them to people. The silence and mystery.
Bows and crossbows naturally played an extremely important role in this night, and even because of its existence, this silent night, between the mysterious and unpredictable, has an atmosphere of strangeness and fear.
When the man in black found the first ashes of the fire that still had residual temperature, he had not had time to report to their captain, and the arrow pierced the night sky with precision, hitting him in the throat.
Hey... The gurgling sound came out from a throat that was not clear whether it was a tingling or a hot throat, and one hand began to touch the throat unbelievably. The slender arrow made the black shirt. The person suddenly felt ashamed, turned his head, his throat moved a few more vigorously, and then he fell straight to the ground.
"There is an ambush!" A man in black whispered and quickly said when the shot man in black turned around: "Get down."
There was a bang, and a hula hula sounded behind him.
But without waiting for the residual sound of the hula hula to dissipate, a burst of air-breaking sound suddenly hits like a beehive, buzzing...swish...the sound of bowstrings shaking the air, the sound of arrows piercing the night sky, The night sky gradually sounded like a wash.
As the sound of breaking through the air dissipated, screams began to be heard halfway up the mountain. Before the screams of the leader of the team dissipated, the people in black at the end of the team who were still rejoicing still had time to cheer. An arrow pierced the air quite close to them.
This time, when they heard the sound of breaking through the air behind them, before they had time to react, they were shot one by one and fell to the ground, or were broken through the air. The sound was scared to the ground.
A scream immediately rang from the team over the leader, as if to tear the night sky and usher in the bright sunlight.
The screams evoked the sound of flapping wings in the deep forest. The roar of beasts also resounded across the night sky from the depths of the forest, echoing the screams of the man in black, on the entire hillside. The sound was mixed together, making people feel numb and goose bumps all over the body.
Li Hong patted the roundabout soldier's shoulder behind him, and whispered: "Continue down, go down to the foot of the mountain and wait again."
The soldier was taken aback. This was the first time that His Royal Highness had spoken to him. After hearing what Li Hong said, he didn't even think about it. He even ordered in a low voice, "Continue to go round the mountain and hit second. Ambush."
Afterwards, when he moved, the soldiers on both sides retracted the crossbow instantly, and then walked down the mountain with their waists while winding the crossbow.
Sure enough, as Li Hong expected, the group of people just now was just the vanguard. Now, the people in black who have not yet started climbing at the foot of the mountain, after hearing the screams from the front, they looked for shelters to block them. His body was looking at the front not far away vigilantly.
As soon as the guard soldier ordered the shooting, Li Hong stopped him in time again, his deep eyes were in the moonlight, and he appeared calm and calm: "Wait, there should be a group of people behind them." /
"Your Highness..." the soldier said suddenly.
Li Hong only had time to look at the soldier’s face at this time, looking at the familiar eyes, but couldn’t remember who he was, so he couldn’t help but stretched out his hand and pulled off the soldier’s helmet. Then he was surprised: "Xu Yanbo? How could it be you?"
Xu Yanbo did not expect that His Royal Highness tore off his helmet and took the helmet in Li Hong's hand embarrassingly. He said embarrassedly: "The final general is the deputy general of the Donggong Guards. He was in Chang'an. , You promised my grandfather to keep me by my side, and then I asked Wei Tuqi~IndoMTL.com~ to say that you meant..."
"You...you who really have you, you dare to do such a big thing...how can Wei Tuqi agree? He has the final say, my guard?" Li Hong was surprised, his dear Could the guard be out of control!
"Yes...Yes...It means the queen, but...but I will come in by ability in the end. I am not appointed by the queen..."
"You have a talent for ass. You did have merit when you enlisted in Anxi, and I agree with it, but the more important thing for the Guards is your personal effort, you..."
"I won over Wei Tuqi." Xu Yanbo looked aggrieved and said to Li Hong proudly.
"Martial arts?" Li Hong almost exclaimed, Xu Yanbo, the grandson of Xu Jingzong, the grandson of a generation of civil servants, unexpectedly won a brave husband? How is this possible?
"Yes, whether it's **** or archery, but... Ma Jian is a bit worse than Hengdao, and it's a tie." Xu Yanbo said embarrassedly.
"This old ghost, Xu Jingzong, never forgot to black me until he died. He was so bold." Li Hong thought of Xu Jingzong's face, and said incongruously.
In fact, seeing Xu Yanbo at this moment, in addition to shock, there is even a trace of nostalgia for Xu Jingzong, but people can't come back to life after death, not to mention... such a big yin person is better to die early.
When Xu Yanbo heard the prince say this to his grandfather in front of him, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "This is what my grandfather said before his death. If his Royal Highness knew you were by his side, he would definitely scold me. "
"Hurry up against the enemy and remember to come back alive." Li Hong patted the helmet held by Xu Yanbo in his hand and said.
Since it was the mother who agreed to go to her own guard, it was Xu Jingzong's request for the mother. After all, a Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong have made an indelible contribution to the queen's position as queen.
