Li Zhuer said: "How can you return to the north when you leave the city in a hurry without horses?"
Li Huaixiu said: "I have been prepared for this. I arranged for dozens of horses to be herded in Guangping County in the west. We took the horses to the west and went over the mountains and out of the fortress from Huai'an County in Guizhou in the west, which is close to Hedong. In the area under the jurisdiction of Jiedushi, there are few soldiers and horses stationed to protect the thieves."
Jiang Shuo thought to himself: This Li Huaixiu may seem rough and arrogant, but in fact he is as thoughtful as his sister. Just now he easily forgave his wife's betrayal and let Lu Panhuan go, which makes him quite a hero.
Li Zhu'er said: "The thieves must go through Huangyakou of Chanzhou to send troops. You are a few days behind him by taking the west route. You have to travel day and night to get ahead of him."
Li Huaixiu said: "I understand, Zhu'er, you should be more careful when you go to Conghuo City. We will go now."
Dugu Wen floated off his horse and said, "I don't need to ride a horse. Jing'er, please ride my horse."
Li Huaixiu helped Princess Jingle mount her horse, and all the Khitan warriors packed their bags and followed Li Huaixiu to the west. Jiang Shuo, Li Zhuer and Dugu Yesun continued their journey south to Longhuo City. Without the two burdens of Jingle and Lu Panhuan, the four of them moved much more easily. After walking a few miles, they saw a brightly lit riverside in the distance. The location is Cage Fire City.
In order to prevent being exposed, the four of them hid their horses deep in the reeds and walked to Conghuo City. Not long after walking, they saw that the reeds in front of them had been cut down, leaving an open space in front of the city. Li Zhuer said: " The word "Conghuo" in "Conghuo City" means "ignition" in the northern dialect. "Conghuo City" means the outpost in front of Fanyang City. When the city was built, it was originally to guard against enemies coming from the south. At this time, the south was stable. Instead, the city was used as a rear granary and weapons depot. To prevent the enemy from approaching in the reeds, all vegetation within a radius of 300 steps from the city was removed, making it difficult to approach the city without concealment."
Dugu asked: "Yes, the range of the frontier's crossbows is about two hundred steps. Three hundred steps gives the defenders a hundred steps of reaction time. There are two trenches in front of the city. One hundred steps away from the city is dry." There is a trench, but at the foot of the city wall is a trench surrounded by water."
Li Zhuer said: "The dry trenches are deep and the water trenches are wide. They are used to block the army and horses. They are of no use to us. It's just that except for Senior Dugu, none of us can survive within three hundred steps without being guarded by the city." The army discovered it.”
Jiang Shuo thought about it and said, "Not bad."
When Dugu Xiang came, he had changed his skirt into men's clothes and said to Li Zhuer: "Sister Zhuer, you know the layout of the city well, just tell us what to do." She saw Jiang Shuo calling Li Zhuer " Sister, we also address each other as sister.
Li Zhuer broke off a reed pole and drew a circle on the ground, saying: "Conghuo City is a group city, not square, but round." Then he drew two openings on the circle and said: "Conghuo City is a group city, not square, but round." The city only has two gates, water and land. We also divided our troops into two groups. Su Zhi, you enter the city from the land gate on the south side. Yin Ziqi recognizes me, but I can't go with you. Sister Xiang'er, you go with Su Zhi. The water gate on the north side is connected to the dock. , noisy and chaotic, and protected by reeds, senior Dugu and I sneaked in from here." He drew a cross in the circle again and divided it into four areas. He drew another circle in the center and said: "Conghuo City is a fortress with no residents. , there are two cities in the center, Yin Ziqi lives in it, and the four surrounding buildings are - Bei Liangmo, West Weapons, East Army Brigade, and South Minfu Camp."
Jiang Shuo said: "Senior Dugu has found out that everyone is imprisoned in Beiying's grain cellar, but I just ignored it and went straight to Yin Ziqi's Erdao City. When Yin Ziqi is lured out, you can go into Beiying to rescue people."
Li Zhuer nodded and said: "In retrospect, you enter the city first, and there is no need to show up deliberately. Yin Ziqi should be able to find you. If you just lead him to surround you with the Xuanji Formation, it will be successful. Sister Xiang'er specially took care of the outside of the Xuanji Formation." It is enough for the two of them to roam around with Zuo Fu and right Bi; after chaos breaks out in the city, Mr. Dugu and I will go into the city to rescue people."
Dugu Wen was still worried and asked, "Is Shuo'er confident of dealing with Yin Ziqi's Xuanji Formation alone?"
Jiang Shuo said: "Sister Zhu'er has taught me how to break the formation. Although I can't break the formation, there is no problem in dealing with it."
Dugu Xiang said: "What are you worried about, grandpa? Aren't you still there with me?"
Dugu asked: "It's because of you that I'm worried. Shuo'er originally had no problem protecting himself, but he's afraid that he won't be able to escape because he wants to protect you. Be careful and have your hands and feet cut off. Dugu Xiang will become The Dugu 'wood'."
Dugu Xiang said: "Grandpa, you'd better be careful with yourself, be careful that Dugu's 'asking' becomes Dugu's 'holding'."
Dugu asked: "Xian'er, you still don't listen when I tell you to study more. Does the word 'ask' mean '勋' if you cut off your head?"
His grandfather and grandson were used to making jokes, but Li Zhuer didn't know whether it was true or false. She had seen Dugu Wen's skills, but she was not sure about Dugu Xiang. Jiang Shuo quietly said to her, "Old man Dugu is joking with Xiang'er. You do not have to worry about."
Li Zhuer nodded and said: "Now that things have come to a close, I can only try my best." In fact, Jiang Shuo has never seen Xiang'er perform martial arts since he and Xiang'er separated two years ago, and he doesn't know how her kung fu is now. , but Jiang Shuo secretly made up his mind to protect Xiang'er no matter what.
The four of them had finished their discussion, and Li Zhuer saw that except for herself, the other three looked relaxed. She was delicate and thoughtful, and prepared for the worst in everything. However, both Dugu and his grandson were born optimistic. Pai and Taishan were still talking and laughing calmly even after the collapse. Li Zhuer's face was still cold, but she was encouraged by them in her heart and had a little more confidence.
Seeing that it was getting late and the new moon was rising, Li Zhuer said to Jiang Shuo: "Look back, let's do it."
Jiang Shuo nodded, jumped out of the long grass, and rushed towards the south gate. Dugu Xiang jumped up with him. Both of them used the star-crossing movement. Although Jiang Shuo's steps were fast, Dugu Xiang could keep up with them. , it seems that her hard work in the past two years has not been wasted, and there is no sound in the grass behind her. It seems that Li Zhuer and Dugu Wen are sneaking in the long grass towards the north gate. Although the open space outside the city is three hundred steps wide, But for the two of them, time travel was only a matter of a moment. Under the cover of night, the city didn't even notice it.
The first deep moat was only eight feet wide, so the two of them could cross it without any hindrance, but the second moat was three feet wide. Jiang Shuo turned around and looked at Xiang'er and said, "Xiang'er, are you okay?"
Xiang'er smiled and said, "Who are you looking down on?" She didn't stop and jumped out first. Her body was so light that she seemed to have jumped farther than Jiang Shuo, but she was only two feet away and still couldn't reach the shore. Suddenly, she saw her in the air. He flipped over and flew sideways to the other side like an arrow. The double-leap movement of this move was extremely light and swift, and he landed a few feet away from the other side.
Seeing this, Jiang Shuo also jumped out, but he didn't know how to jump in two steps. He touched the water with his right foot and reached the other side with the movement of a dragonfly. The boot of his right foot finally got wet. Dugu Xiang pretended to be He said with a grimace: "Why were you so careless and stepped in the water?"
Jiang Shuo was accustomed to being teased by her since he was a child. Instead of feeling dissatisfied, he felt friendly. He said, "This time, let's compete to see who can climb the city wall faster!" As he spoke, he jumped up in front of Dugu Xiang. Although Conghuo City was small, it was There was a deep ditch and high fortification, and the city wall was two feet high. When he jumped up from the dry land of Jiangshuo, it was more than ten feet high. He climbed up by using the gecko wall-walking skill on the thin cracks of the city bricks, but he saw a black shadow behind him passing over his head. , climbed directly onto the city wall.
Jiang Shuo climbed up the city wall immediately, but saw that Dugu Xiang had already reached the top of the city. He smiled at him again and said, "Why did you climb up like a big gecko? You just got your hands dirty." Jiang Shuo was just thinking about Xiang'er's kung fu. So amazing, he saw her wrapping a silk ribbon back around her waist. It turned out that her belt was a long rope with a flying claw on her head. She had just used this flying claw to cling to the pheasant opening of the city wall and use the strength to leap up.
The two men did not hide their figures deliberately, but they were talking and laughing again, finally attracting the attention of the soldiers guarding the city. They heard the sound of gongs, and torches on both sides were raised to surround them. Jiang Shuo said: "Quickly leave!" Xiang'er jumped off the city wall.
Nancheng is a civilian camp. The originally flat and straight streets have long been destroyed by the shacks built randomly by the peasants. It is already past midday, and the peasants are enjoying the cool air on the streets. Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang are passing through the streets like a gust of wind. , passing through the chaotic shacks, furniture, and crowds, not even a leaf touched his body. The chasing officers and soldiers did not have such skills. There were ping-pong and clanking sounds behind them, but the pursuers were rushing in the narrow space. There was a lot of noise on the winding street.
This step through the stars is also known as "Flying Swallows Through the Stars". Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang are like swifts passing through the eaves, as if they are not avoiding the pursuers but chasing each other. The two can't help but think of the two years ago at Xixi Villa. Every day while playing in the pavilions and pavilions, Jiang Shuo could not help but roar with joy, and Xiang'er also chimed in with his clear whistle.
When he was approaching the second city wall, he suddenly heard a man on the wall say coldly: "Young Master Jiang is so excited. Those who know are that you are here to rob the camp, but those who don't know are that you are here for fun."
When Jiang Shuo heard this, he stopped, crossed his hands and said, "Mr. Yin, I haven't seen you for ten days, how are you doing all the time?"
Yin Ziqi said: "It's easy to say, you should be content with old Dugu asking this little girl to go back. Why did you come here and go to the Cage Fire City at night?"
Jiang Shuo said: "The leaders of the Cao Gang captured by Mr. Yin are all Jiang Shuo's allies who knocked their heads to the ground. How could they not come to rescue them?"
Yin Ziqi sneered: "Since you are here to save people, why don't you go to the Beiying grain cellar but come to the South camp to cause trouble?"
Jiang Shuo was shocked in his heart and said something bad. Xiang'er had been locked up with everyone before. Since Yin Ziqi saw Xiang'er and him together, he naturally knew that he knew that everyone was locked up in the grain cellar. In this section, Li Pearl had neglected to calculate.
Yin Ziqi pretended to think and said, "Let me guess who went to Beiying? I'm afraid it's not Xiao Nizi's grandfather, Old Dugu, right?"
Jiang Shuo knew that Yin Ziqi must have ambushed Beiying, so he didn't want to talk to him when the matter was urgent. He took Xiang'er's hand and turned left. He wanted to bypass Erdaocheng and go to Beiying, but he saw on the left Seven people rushed out of the house, led by He Qianqian. He turned around and ran to the right. Seven more people blocked the way, but they were led by He Wansui. Jiang Shuo and Xiang'er wanted to run back, but Yin Ziqi came from the city. He jumped and landed in front of the two of them, turned around and clasped his hands wrongly, saying: "We can't leave!"
The Erhe brothers also came up and Xuanji formed a formation to surround them tightly.
