Peng Liang ducked down urgently, then grabbed the stone pillar with both hands and passed underneath.
Then he slapped the tip of the pillar with his backhand, and the stone pillar retracted at the same speed as when it suddenly appeared.
"Jie Jie", on the mountain wall, on a tree, a night owl made two strange laughs that seemed to be mocking.
Liu Liu just wanted to give Ya a stone to collapse.
The night owl had already fluttered its wings and flew away.
Silence returned to the mountain forest, sinking into the night.
Just as Peng Liang was about to move on, he suddenly heard someone speaking in front of him.
"Why is this bird still flying around at night? It looks like it was frightened by something. Could it be that someone is coming towards our village?"
"What are you thinking about? Maybe they went to look for food? They are originally night birds, and you haven't seen them enough? Okay, hurry up and walk a little further, and we can go back to sleep."
"Yes, after patrolling this circle, you can sleep. Oh, I'm exhausted. Your Majesty and the others drank happily, but it made us night patrols miserable. Let me tell you, why patrol? Just A sliver of sky can block everyone who wants to get in."
"Well, we only have a short time to enter the cottage. Let me tell you, we don't have to work so hard. As you said, no one can get in. Let's go back if we go further."
In this way, those people talked, held torches, and walked towards the corner ahead.
Just turn the corner and walk another twenty meters to return.
After thinking about it for a few minutes, I could go back to sleep. I felt a lot more relaxed and my pace gradually quickened.
And just then.
One of the soldiers following Peng Liang was startled by the voices of the patrolling bandits and wanted to hide himself against the stone wall.
Unexpectedly, his feet slipped and he fell down the cliff uncontrollably.
The stone under his feet also rolled down like a bone.
The sound of rolling down echoed among several mountains, shattering the silence of the night in an instant.
And those people suddenly heard the sound of stones rolling down around the corner, and they were suddenly shocked. The first person ran a few steps quickly without observing the situation. He raised his hand and patted a small bump on the stone wall at the corner.
Hujiazhai is full of institutions and is definitely not a joke.
It was created with the wisdom of many people who went up the mountain.
It may not be a very big mechanism, nor is it a very complicated mechanism, but whether it is the design or the degree of fatality, it is most in line with the psychology of ordinary people.
They may be stone needles, stone pillars, stone rain, various traps of hunters, and disconnected mountain roads.
This small bump is the switch of the Taoist mechanism. Once photographed, a stone slab will protrude from this almost right-angled corner, completely separating the two sides.
And from the top of the mountain wall, countless large and small stones will roll down, killing all the people opposite this person, or they will fall to death.
It's not a difficult mechanism, but it can definitely make it impossible for people to survive.
The man's reaction speed was not bad, and his hands were stretched out very quickly.
Just when he was about to take a picture of the small bump, suddenly a dark long sword with a faint reflection flashed past his eyes, carrying a figure.
In this life, he will never be able to touch the switch that is right in front of him. Without even being able to utter a scream, his throat was cut off and he rolled down the cliff path.
The other people also felt their eyes blurred, and then followed that person to report to the King of Hell.
This road is very dangerous. There is a mountain wall on one side and a cliff on the other. If you are not careful, your body will be gone.
The soldier who almost slipped down and almost caused serious consequences was caught by someone with quick eyesight and quick hands.
So suspenseful!
The soldier wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then gritted his teeth, bent his waist slightly, and kept up with the speed of the person in front.
He didn't say thank you back.
Because the person behind is one of Master Di's guards.
For tonight's operation, all Master Di's guards were dispatched. Except for the two leading the way, the rest were interspersed among the soldiers, just in case.
You don't need to say thank you to the guards, you just need to treat them to a drink when you have the opportunity.
…
Di Ying, who was alone, was on the city gate building, holding hands and talking to the people going about their night work.
It's just that Di Ying isn't very focused on either.
He looked at the mountains in the distance from time to time, feeling worried all the time.
If there were any mistakes in his guess, not many of the soldiers who entered the mountain tonight, as well as his entire bodyguard, would be able to come out alive.
Risky? Risky. Too risky.
All because of Di Ying's guess, thousands of people quietly entered the mountain under the cover of night...
If there is any delay, he will not be able to feel at ease in this life.
Some people say: The general is responsible for commanding, and the soldiers are responsible for dying.
This is their division of labor and responsibility. But no one wants to see a dead end ahead, and no one wants to ruin countless lives in vain because of his command.
Di Ying once said to Cheng Ting: You are not stupid. If you were really a fool, you wouldn't be able to bear the pressure on a general's shoulders.
Now Di Ying also felt as if he was carrying two huge mountains on his shoulders.
It was so heavy that even the tool he wanted to hand to a commoner fell on the stone bricks of the city wall, making a crisp "ding" sound.
The man picked up the tool, looked at Master Di's face through the light reflected by countless torches, and cautiously suggested: "Sir, you can go back and rest. You don't need to stare here, we will be careful and careful. The work is done."
"Yes, Mr. Di, please go back. You can rest assured to leave this place to us. This is a matter to protect ourselves and our families, and we will definitely take it seriously. When the new city wall is repaired, those bandits can no longer You can come in whenever you want, and you can leave whenever you want.”
"Master Di, go back..."
"Go back, Master Di..."
There were sincere voices of comfort, and pairs of eyes full of worry...
Master Di looks really bad now.
They were extremely worried and worried that Master Di would fall ill due to overworking for them.
Di Ying also noticed that his complexion seemed not to be very good.
He raised his hands and rubbed his face vigorously. Then he smiled hard at the people on both sides. He said to everyone: "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, folks. My waist just hurts when I stand. Just sit down for a while. I won't cause trouble to you anymore."
As he said that, he walked to a pillar in the city gate building and sat down, facing the mountains in the distance.
When the people heard Master Di say this, they all responded with kind smiles and continued to work hard.
They just speeded up in unison and silently.
