In the next half month, the advance team marched back and forth smoothly, and this night it was Guo Xun's turn to stand guard again.
Late at night, when everyone was either sleeping or practicing, Guo Xun was too lazy to hide and practice secretly. As long as he didn't make too much noise, there would be no problem.
Guo Xun started practicing his "Qi Control Technique" directly from where he was standing guard. Recently, his sword control skills have made considerable progress, and his experience of "Qi Control Technique" has become deeper.
Guo Xun took the long sword and formed a seal in his hand to activate the spell.
The long sword slowly floated up under Guo Xun's control, flying higher and higher, and then began to circle around Guo Xun.
Although the speed is very slow and fluctuates, it looks shaky.
It is estimated that a breeze will knock it to the ground hard.
In less than half an hour, Guo Xun was sweating profusely and looked like he was struggling to hold on.
It wouldn't be a big deal for an ordinary person to practice all night long for three to five days, but if things go on like this, even an iron man would be brought down.
Therefore, Yu Dafu did not practice tonight and went to bed early.
I woke up suddenly at the fourth o'clock in the morning and went to Xiaogong in a daze. When I looked up at him, I was stunned.
He saw Guo Xun making random movements in the distance, and sword light flashed in the air from time to time.
Yu Dafu wiped his eyes and took a closer look. He only saw a long sword flying in the air. Yu Dafu did not react for a moment.
Because Guo Xun was too focused on controlling the flying sword, he didn't notice that Yu Dafu was not far away.
At this time, Guo Xun's spiritual consciousness suddenly discovered Yu Dafu, and he couldn't help but trembled. His whole body trembled, and the long sword in the air fell to the ground before he could retract it.
Guo Xun's brain was running rapidly, and he pretended to be frightened and said:
"Ouch! Why don't you hold the sword?"
So he ran over and picked up the sword again, pretending not to see Yu Dafu, and began to practice the sword in a pretentious manner.
After Yu Dafu finished solving the problem, he came to Guo Xun and scratched his head. Wasn't Guo Xun a gunsmith? Why did you start practicing swordsmanship?
So Yu Dafu curiously asked Guo Xun: "Guo Xun! Why did I see this sword flying around you just now!"
Guo Xun secretly thought that indeed, Yu Dafu found out and felt something bad in his heart, so he turned to Yu Dafu and said with a smile:
"I was practicing my sword just now, and the sword never left my hand! How could the sword fly? You must have seen it wrong!"
"Oh! That's not right! I obviously saw it! You just went to pick up the sword!"
Yu Dafu still felt strange.
Guo Xun didn't dare to continue the conversation, so he quickly pushed Yu Dafu and said:
"I practiced my sword a little too hard just now, and suddenly I lost my grip and flew out. This is normal! Are you sleepy? Go back to sleep! It's already the fourth watch, and it will be dawn soon. Let’s see how you still sleep!”
Yu Dafu scratched his head and muttered:
"Maybe I've been practicing too much in the past few days. I'm dazzled today. You're right. It's already the fourth watch. I have to go to sleep for a while."
Yu Dafu thought that he had practiced too much in the past few days and couldn't catch a break, so he thought it was because he was dazzled.
The next day, while Yu Dafu was chatting with everyone, he mentioned Guo Xun's sword practice last night.
When he said something like the long sword spinning in the air, Guo Xun felt dizzy for a while. Finally, Guo Xun stepped forward to answer the words and laughed and cursed:
"What kind of swordsmanship did I practice last night! Are you sleepy? We didn't meet last night!"
"ah!"
Yu Dafu looked at Guo Xun with shock on his face, no way! I obviously saw it!
Only then did everyone realize that Yu Dafu was talking in his sleep!
Everyone laughed at him, and in the end he couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only scratch his head and giggle.
Afterwards, Guo Xun secretly rejoiced that he could only sacrifice you, my friend!
Fortunately, it was Yu Dafu who bumped into him last night. If it had been anyone else, it would have been difficult to explain.
Yu Dafu is loyal and honest, and he does a lot of the work in the advance team.
He usually doesn't talk much. In terms of relationship, Guo Xun is the best with him, so Yu Dafu didn't think much about it this time.
Since the last time Guo Xun almost exposed his identity as a cultivator with his Qi sword.
He became cautious again, running far away every time he practiced, for fear of being bumped into again.
Whenever it was Guo Xun's turn to be on duty, he would secretly go elsewhere to practice his sword-handling skills, and then lived in peace for another month.
Something happened in the past half month that made Guo Xun feel very strange. Because he had spiritual consciousness, he found that some wood would float down from time to time from the upper reaches of the Biluo River.
These pieces of wood were in pieces, and there were obvious marks of knives and axes on them, which had to make Guo Xun suspicious, but Guo Xun was only suspicious and did not really find any danger.
Guo Xun has become more and more proficient in sword control in this month, and now he can kill enemies with a hundred steps even in actual combat.
Time flies by so fast, autumn turns to winter, and winter begins almost a month ago.
In the Gobi Desert during the Mengdong season, the cold wind blows from the south from time to time, and the cold wind is even more bone-chilling, making people unable to move forward.
Going further south, the terrain of the Gobi becomes more steep.
In the evening of that day, the advance team arrived at the foot of a deserted and dangerous mountain. The dangerous mountain was more than a thousand feet high, and the rocks on the mountain walls were steep. Judging from the situation, the heavy parts were steep and insurmountable.
Guo Xun looked around and saw that on the right was a dangerous rocky turbulence that no one could cross.
On the left is the ridge slope, which extends far to the left. After consensus, we can only go around.
There are countless dangerous mountains and strange rocks on the other side of the river. Judging from their situation, they should be connected to large mountains.
Guo Xun was at the foot of the mountain looking at the top of the mountain, but he frowned because his spiritual consciousness detected that there was a military camp on the other side of the mountain.
And he found that there were many people in this military camp, but because of the distance, they were separated by a mountain.
Guo Xun could only get a rough idea. Although his spiritual consciousness could reach up to a hundred miles, it was only a straight line, and if it were spread out, it would only cover a radius of more than ten miles.
Guo Xun guessed that this should be the enemy camp in Nanding Kingdom.
"It seems that we have no choice but to go around. Let's get here first today! Tomorrow we will go back to report to the main force and ask them to come down to the foot of the mountain first. After all, it is winter, and the wind blowing from the south is getting colder. The foot of the mountain is just right. Take shelter from the wind.”
Cao He arranged.
When Guo Xun heard this, it was all right. If he really reached the foot of the mountain, he would be back to back with the enemy.
If we are discovered by the enemy and the enemy comes in a boat and attacks us from both sides, then we will be made dumplings.
Guo Xun said quickly:
"Brother Cao, let's not rush back to report. It's more appropriate to go over the mountain first and see what's behind the mountain. After we're sure it's safe, we can go back and report."
At this time Empress Li jumped out from the side and said:
"You let us go over such a dangerous and steep mountain! If we go over it and find nothing, then we will be troubled! I think it is better to wait until the main force arrives at the foot of the mountain to rest and reorganize, and then we, the vanguard, will not go around to take a look. Late!"
Everyone also felt that what Empress Li said made sense.
The height of this dangerous mountain is at least a thousand feet, and the rocks are rugged and dangerous.
In addition, the cold wind must be raging on the ridge, so no one is willing to climb over it.
In fact, what Guo Xun imagined just now was the worst case scenario. If the enemy did not discover it, then they would be a ghost force deep behind the enemy's rear.
At that time, a small team will be sent secretly across the border to report the news.
At that time, the Tang Dynasty will lead an army to attack the border of Puluo River in Nanding State. If they cooperate with each other from the outside, it will kill two birds with one stone.
In fact, this was exactly the result of the discussion among several generals. It was absolutely impossible for them to break through by force.
Only with the help of the attack from the south could they take advantage of it and even achieve miraculous achievements.
If there is an opportunity to seize the Biluo River border in one fell swoop, then the border of Xiaofeng Mountain County will be moved up.
Then they can be considered to have achieved an incredible feat, and it can be said that this trip was worthwhile.
