Gu Xu stood quietly in front of the window of "Xianyunju" and looked towards the northeast.
Outside the window, the dark green mountains have been blown away by the breeze, and the fog and moisture have been blown away. Facing the bright morning sun, they show their tall and beautiful figures.
The distant peaks and the nearby forest are filled with the continuous chirping of cicadas, occasionally mixed with a few crisp bird calls.
The bright rays of rays of light shine on the towering peaks and slowly spread to the foot of the mountain. The trees on the mountain and the grass at the foot of the mountain are gradually outlined by the morning light.
Gu Xu could clearly see that among the weeds, thorns and dwarf trees on the mountainside, there was a winding gray-white wall, like a winding dragon.
He knew that this Great Wall was the ancient Great Wall built by the Chu Dynasty many years ago to prevent the invasion of the Yan Kingdom from the north.
However, as Dayan was incorporated into the territory of Emperor Taizu of the Qi Dynasty, the Great Wall across the border lost its original role and remained in a desolate state without maintenance for a long time. At this time, the wall was basically invisible, only the foundation of the wall remained.
Most of the beacon tower made of green bricks collapsed and was in dilapidated condition.
If everything is peaceful, it will be gradually forgotten by people in the torrent of history.
However, in the past few days, this deserted Great Wall has suddenly become heavily guarded.
With his mental perception far beyond ordinary people, Gu Xu could see the soldiers standing guard in the mountains, the practitioners patrolling back and forth, and he also discovered a huge formation that was invisible and intangible.
"Daqi has set up a blockade formation on the ancient Great Wall," he said with a solemn look. "I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to pass through the defense line and leave the country."
When he spoke, Zhao Yan had just finished practicing and stood up from the bamboo mat in the corner of "Xianyunju".
The robe she wore was a straight skirt with a folded collar and a long skirt.
Since the straight hem has slits on both sides, her long, shining white legs can be vaguely seen in the morning breeze.
She came straight to Gu Xu's side, rested her arms on the window sill, leaned over slightly, and looked into the distance.
When she leaned forward, the loose silk fabric of her robe was suddenly tightened, and the slender shoulders and waist, as well as the full and smooth curves of her buttocks, were clearly highlighted.
"You can't even pass through it with your magic weapon that builds a space channel?" she asked.
"No," Gu Xu shook his head, "I just tried to use it for positioning, and found that the nearby space has been sealed, and it is impossible to travel outside the Daqi border. Even flying is prohibited."
After hearing his words, Zhao Yan tried to take out the spear "Yizhangwei", but it turned out that she couldn't fly into the air as usual, as if she was bound to the ground by heavy chains.
She frowned slightly: "It seems we have to force our way through."
She was not surprised by the decision of the Daqi court to seal the border. Now that Daqi and Dayan are at war, and there is more than one wanted criminal in Daqi, the Daqi government naturally has to find ways to restrict the flow of people on the border.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"Maybe there is another way," Gu Xu thought for a moment and said, "We can try to disguise ourselves as soldiers guarding the border. Maybe they will have the authority to cross the blockade formation. If this method doesn't work, we can try to break it. Formation, forcefully break through the border."
Zhao Yan nodded and agreed to his proposal.
Although her fighting power far exceeds that of fellow monks, there are many strong men in the Daqi Dynasty, and after experiencing Jingxing's defeat, the court will definitely be more wary of them.
If you can avoid fighting, try not to fight.
If they could sneak out of the border unscathed like Gu Xu said, it would undoubtedly be the best outcome for them.
…………
A moment later, Gu Xu wore a black mask, and Zhao Yan held the "Dream Bell" and quietly approached the gray-white long wall in the mountains.
The "Idle Cloud Residence" with its painted beams and painted buildings returned to the size of a walnut and was put away in Gu Xu's pocket, as if it had never existed.
Soon, they saw two soldiers not far away sitting under a big tree with food boxes, chatting and eating breakfast.
Gu Xu and Zhao Yan glanced at each other with great understanding.
Immediately afterwards, a yellowed talisman appeared out of thin air in Gu Xu's hand.
This talisman is called the "Concealment Talisman", which can hide one's body, making it difficult for people around to detect their actions.
At the same time, Zhao Yan launched a soul-level attack on the two of them at lightning speed.
The two soldiers only saw a golden light flashing from their field of vision.
Before they could react to what happened, they felt dizzy, and then fell heavily to the ground with a "bang".
Zhao Yan turned to Gu Xu and smiled, indicating that she had achieved her goal and could continue with her plan.
Gu Xu stepped forward and put his right hand on a soldier's shoulder.
Suddenly, several thick or thin golden rays of light centered on the soldier and extended in all directions.
These golden rays of light are undoubtedly the "threads of cause and effect", a technique Gu Xu learned from Kongxuan Sanren.
"Chai Hu, a native of Liaozhou, joined the army three years ago and was subordinate to foreman Shi Dehui..." With the help of the "Thread of Cause and Effect", Gu Xu easily understood the identity of the man in front of him.
Then he used the same method to learn the identity of another soldier: "Zhong Bing, a native of Fenzhou, joined the army two years ago and also belongs to Shi Dehui's command..."
He pondered for a few seconds and silently recited an obscure spell.
After reciting the incantation, he looked at Zhao Yan beside him and said with a dull smile: "From now on, my name is Chai Hu and your name is Zhong Bing. We are both border guards loyal to the Da Qi court."
"You really won't be recognized?" Zhao Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.
Of these two soldiers, one had dark skin and unshaven beard, and the other had a muscular face and a round waist. Their appearance and temperament were completely different from those of Gu and Zhao, not to mention that one of them even had a different gender.
"Believe me, it won't happen." Gu Xu said confidently.
…………
After some disguise, the two continued to move towards the ancient city wall.
On the way, a strong man with a round face, big ears, beard and armor passed by them.
Gu Xu gently tugged on Zhao Yan's sleeves, then pretended to be respectful, bowed his head to the strong man and said, "I've met Mr. Shi."
Zhao Yan immediately followed him and saluted: "I have met Mr. Shi."
This strong man is naturally Shi Dehui, the immediate superior of Chai Hu and Zhong Bing.
Hearing the two voices, Shi Dehui glanced at them sideways and said casually: "Have you finished breakfast?"
Gu Xu and Zhao Yan nodded in agreement.
"Then hurry up and pick up Wei Zhang's squad," Shi Dehui ordered. "According to the court, the treasonous traitor named 'Gu Xu' is escaping towards us. When you stand guard today, keep an eye on everyone coming from the vicinity. Those who pass by must not slack off in the slightest.”
"Follow your orders, Master Shi," Gu Xu said seriously, "I will never let any suspicious person escape from under my nose."
Seeing his serious look, Zhao Yan next to her tried her best not to laugh.
