Treading Blood to Sky’s End Chapter 38: Break circuit
Under the bright moon, the lights outside Lianshan City were like dragons, and the noisy footsteps broke the silence of the mountains.
In front of the lights, several figures were running in the forest. Their flexible figures were like monkeys in the mountains, sometimes climbing and moving, sometimes swimming like snakes, leaving some footprints hidden in the grass and new soil on the stones. And the scratches on the tree are all visible.
"There are two teams here. One team has excellent qinggong and goes to the southeast. The other team has no cover and runs straight to the west."
"Go west." After Tu Yunsheng finished speaking, the six sword guards went west at the same time.
Tu Yunsheng then turned back to the city camp captain and said: "You lead three hundred people to the southeast. When you encounter a strong enemy, you don't have to fight. You can contain them as much as possible, and at the same time send someone back to report."
"Yes!" The captain immediately agreed, waving his hands to a few mountain men to take the honey jars to the front, and he led his people to follow closely behind.
"The county captain led his people to follow me." Tu Yunsheng said and led his people along the Xishan path.
"My lord, your lord, your lord, your lord..." The county magistrate followed Tu Yunsheng and muttered: "Wait a minute, sir, sir... Except for a mountain road to Xiguan, this Xishan Mountain is full of old forests. There are many ferocious beasts and poisons in the mountains. It is impossible for bandits to be hiding inside, but bandits may be hiding in Southeast Antarctica. There are three official roads ten miles away to the east, and bandits have been committing crimes there..."
"Didn't I arrange for someone to go there? County Magistrate, just..." Tu Yunsheng stopped suddenly, turned to look at the County Magistrate with a smile and said, "Come here, ask the Magistrate to go to the north and take charge of the overall situation!"
"Yes!" A sword guard immediately turned back from the front and pulled him to the north regardless of whether the county magistrate wanted it or not.
The large group of people marched ahead, with sword guards in front of them clearing the way, and mountain carriers placing honey jars behind them, so that the group was not harmed by poisonous insects and the journey went smoothly.
Until he reached the foot of a dangerous peak, Tu Yunsheng suddenly stopped, looked up at the steep cliff on the left side of the mountain road, and then looked at the dark abyss on the right, waving his hand and ordering him to rest where he was.
The county captain stepped forward and said: "Are you worried about bandits hiding on the dangerous peaks, sir? Do you want to..."
"There's no rush." Tu Yunsheng interrupted him, looking at the dangerous peak and said: "Don't startle the grass and scare the snake."
"Yes." The county lieutenant stepped aside and stood by.
At the same time, on the dangerous peak, Zhao Anning stared at the fire at the bottom of the mountain, frowning and said: "Did they discover it?"
The bandit leader Lao Wu came to Zhao Anning and said: "It is common sense in marching to rest before a dangerous road. It doesn't matter if you know it. Don't forget, there is only one person you want to kill."
"Uncle Wu is talking about the patrol envoy!" Zhao Anning guessed.
"You have a bright mind. Once the patrol officer dies, no matter how many sword guards there are, they will not dare to enter the mountain."
"But in the dark, we don't know where he is in the team. It will be difficult to attack and kill him if he hides behind him!" Zhao Anning was worried.
"Young master really doesn’t know anything about eagles and dogs. They don’t hide their heads and tail. I guess he must be at the front of the group. Does he think I can’t defeat him before the dangerous peak? It’s a joke. You go first, look at me. How to break up his group and lure him to pursue him alone."
Zhao Anning does not understand these twists and turns, but he is very self-aware and will never show off his talents. When Lao Wu asked him to leave, he turned around and left without a second thought.
Not long after Zhao Anning left, Lao Wu jumped up and spread his arms like a roc spreading its wings. Suddenly, eighteen chains of true energy poured out from his left and right arms, locking all the boulders around him. He waved his arm forward, and the eighteen boulders made a loud noise at the same time, rumbling down and tumbling down.
In the blink of an eye, the large group of people resting in front of the dangerous peak were all frightened by the loud noise and jumped. Under the bright moonlight, they all saw a terrifying scene that was turned upside down!
The dangerous peak ahead seemed to suddenly collapse. Countless rocks flew down from the mountain, and a huge roar shook everyone's eardrums.
The tumbling boulders destroyed the mountain wall, crushed the trees, and triggered an increasingly violent wave of rocks. In the blink of an eye, the mountain road was submerged and then collapsed.
"Hiss!" The county lieutenant took a deep breath, but was even more puzzled: "No, since they set up an ambush, why don't they wait until the army enters the dangerous road before throwing stones?"
Tu Yunsheng said: "They are delaying. The road is ruined and it is difficult for the brigade to cross over, but this also shows that we are on the right track."
"You little bastards, you want to catch grandpa and return to your mother's womb to stay for a hundred years, hahahaha!" A powerful and arrogant voice suddenly came from the dangerous peak.
Tu Yunsheng raised his head slightly. Although it was pitch dark on the mountain, he seemed to be able to see the person speaking. He opened his mouth and his voice was not loud, but it could be heard several miles away: "You just want to lead me up, OK, I’ll make it happen for you.”
Tu Yunsheng's body was shattered, and he reached the foot of the mountain in a few ups and downs in the blink of an eye. He was extremely fast, like a gust of wind. Every time his toes tapped lightly on the rocks, he could cross a distance of three to five feet, and soon he was Disappeared into the dark and dangerous peaks.
"Sir!" The county captain came to his senses at this moment, but he couldn't call back even if he wanted to.
Seeing that the sword guards followed Tu Yunsheng without saying a word, the county captain turned around and said in a depressed tone: "Everyone, get up and go into the mountain. Go into the mountain quickly. If something happens to the inspector, we will all Gotta lose my head!"
Lao Wu's figure rose and fell rapidly in the mountains. From time to time, he looked back. When he saw a figure chasing him faster than him, a ferocious smile appeared on his face. The moment he landed, he kicked up a piece of dirt. When he jumped up again, he slapped the stone towards a huge mud nest in front of him.
In an instant, a buzzing sound rang out from the mud nest. The sound spread wider and wider, and spread to the surroundings along with countless small black dots.
Lao Wu actually rushed directly into the black spots flying in the sky and disappeared in an instant.
Just a few breaths later, Tu Yunsheng landed at the place where Lao Wu had kicked up the rocks. He stared at the dense insect shadows in front of him and frowned unconsciously.
This is a swarm of poisonous bees, or ghost-winged bees that are extremely poisonous and can kill you with one sting.
"Gu insect." Tu Yunsheng ordered without looking back.
Five sword guards happened to fall behind him one after another. One of the sword guards immediately took out the brocade box and said: "Here it is."
Tu Yunsheng took the brocade box and said, "Follow me closely." Then he rushed into the swarm of poisonous bees.
The sword guards left and followed closely, and in the blink of an eye they all disappeared into the swarm.
At this time, the troops in the rear were very busy.
A brutal beast with a rough scalp and thick flesh knocked the roadblock into the abyss. There were some people inside who were digging out the rocks, and then drove the wooden stakes horizontally into the cracks in the rocks. All they had to do was lay thick long boards on the wooden piles. It can replace the washed-out mountain road, allowing people and mounts to pass smoothly.
"It's too slow, too slow. People with good skills will follow me up the mountain to reinforce the Inspector first. The rest of the people will continue to build the road. That Tang Jingcheng, follow me." After the county captain gave the order, he greeted the group and headed to the dangerous peak. Climb away.
Tang Jingcheng didn't want to stand out, so he followed him here silently. However, his skill was well known in the yamen, so the county captain called him by name and asked him to follow.
It is extremely difficult to walk on dangerous peaks. Most of the people like the county lieutenant are practicing laymen, and they cannot mobilize their true energy, so they can only climb the rock with their hands and feet.
After finally reaching the dangerous peak, the county lieutenant threw a few small bottles to several officials and said: "This is rotten flower nectar. Take it all. If you encounter a poisonous insect, spill a few drops. Just ignore it and run away. Now we split up to look for it. The traces of the envoy."
