The dragon horse let go of its hooves and ran so fast. Although it was behind Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang, it still ran very fast with all four hooves flying in the air. And Dugu Wenqinggong was really amazing, he could run with the dragon horse without falling behind. The horses ridden by the other three were not good enough. Although they were good horses in Shuofang's army, they were slowly falling behind because of their weak legs. .
Jiang Shuo was thinking about Guo Ziyi's safety, and regardless of whether the Cao Gang trio could catch up or not, he just urged the dragon and horse forward, and then galloped ten miles away, bypassing a mountain ridge, and saw the rear guard of Shuofang's army.
Jiang Shuo rode his horse closer, clasped his fists and said anxiously: "Brothers, do you know where the Guo Jun envoy is?"
The cavalry all recognized Jiang Shuo and hurriedly returned the salute with their hands crossed. The brigade commander leading the troops pointed forward and said: "Envoy Guo is in the middle army. You can see him after passing the ditch in front."
The Taihang Mountains are criss-crossed like an ax and a knife, and are full of deep and shallow ravines. The mountain roads are ups and downs along these ravines. It is quite difficult to walk, but the Shuofang cavalry is really good, and they can still survive on such a steep mountain road. Can ride.
The closer they got to the Chinese army, the denser the army and horses were on the road. Although Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang were riding dragon horses, there was no gap and it was difficult to cross. Dugu Wen was much easier to cross on foot. Seeing this, Jiang Shuo also jumped down with Xiang'er. The dragon and horse used Star Step to walk among the horses. The dragon and horse were quite spiritual. When they saw their master moving forward through the horses, they were not anxious. They galloped forward with the army and followed behind.
Sergeant Shuofang was startled when he first saw three people running into the herd of horses. You must know that being hit by a running horse is not fun. If you accidentally fall and be trampled by a horse, it is even more unsafe. However, the horse is crowded in At the same time, they were unable to rein in their horses and dodge. They could only scream and warn. However, they saw that the three people's footwork was wonderful, like swallows passing through. They shuttled freely among the horses. Not to mention bumping into or stepping on them, even the skirts of their clothes were not touched. When everyone came together, everyone changed their exclamation into exclamation and shouted together that it was okay.
Shuo Fang's army did not set up a flag as they marched, and it was impossible to see where Guo Ziyi was for a while. Jiang Shuo saw that the cavalry was about to gallop into the narrow mountain road formed by a mountain ridge and Laishui in front, and he couldn't help but become more anxious and shouted : "Where is the envoy Guo Jun? Where is the envoy Guo Jun?"
He was full of internal energy and shouted loudly. The sound was so loud that he saw someone at the entrance of the valley in front turn around and raise his hand: "Look back, I'm here!"
Jiang Shuo suddenly saw a figure flashing on the cliff above the valley. He knew something was wrong and shouted urgently: "Guo Jun, be careful! Don't enter the valley!"
Guo Ziyi didn't know what he meant when he said be careful, and he couldn't get back on his horse to retreat because he was surrounded by people. He turned around on his horse while riding towards the valley, and shouted from a distance: "Looking back, where have you been? Fortunately, you are okay... …”
While he was talking, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound, but a huge boulder rolled down the cliff. Jiang Shuo was shocked when he saw this, but he was too far away to rescue him and shouted: "Rolling stone! Rolling stone! Military envoys, be careful!"
The huge boulder was the size of a carriage, and it was rolling and making a lot of noise. How could Guo Ziyi not know? But at this moment, there were military horses in front and behind, and it was impossible to retreat. We could only shout loudly and rush forward with the escorting sergeants. The huge boulder rolled down behind Guo Ziyi, smashing down several horses following him. The mountain road fell into the Laishui River. At this time, the Laishui River dried up, exposing large and small rocks on the river bed. People and horses who fell down hit the bare rocks, either breaking their heads or shattering their internal organs. , I can’t even survive seeing it.
Jiang Shuo just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw several more huge rocks rolling down the mountain. One rock rolling down could be said to be an accident, and flying rocks rolling down one after another must have been done intentionally.
Guo Ziyi knew that the situation was critical and urged the cavalry in front to move quickly. However, the boulder came in a hurry. Jiang Shuo was still a hundred steps away. Seeing that one of them was about to hit Guo Ziyi with both men and horses, he saw a figure bigger than Jiang Shuo. Shuo ran faster and arrived beside Guo Ziyi's horse. It was Zhuiyun Zhuyue, the old man Dugu Wen.
Dugu Wen is worthy of being said to be the best in the world in Qinggong. In terms of Qinggong alone, he is indeed still above Jiangshuo. He saw a huge boulder flying towards him. There was a cliff on the right. It was naturally impossible to push back. Dugu Wen raised his hands and caught the boulder with his bare hands. , Zhao Rui said that his internal strength was not good, but that was compared with peerless masters like Beimingzi and Baiyunzi. Compared with ordinary people, Dugu Wen's internal strength was not weak at all. This huge stone was the size of a box, and he could actually hold it with both hands. Hold on, but the boulder is too heavy to be lifted for a long time. Dugu Wen only waited for the oncoming force to slow down a little, then shouted again, raised his hands, lifted the boulder and flew to the left. Guo Ziyi saw the boulder flying and hurriedly leaned down and pressed against the horse. On his back, the boulder flew past his body and fell into Laishui, thus escaping the disaster.
Even though Guo Ziyi had the courage of a general, he broke out in a cold sweat. The first boulder behind him fell on the road and he was unable to retreat. He did not dare to stop and continued to urge his horse forward. This was the third wave of rolling stones. Several huge stones rolled towards him as if they had eyes. At this time, Jiang Shuo had already caught up. Dugu Wen let out a long breath and said, "Shuo'er, come here, I'll take this one." But it’s a bit too much.” Looking at his hands full of blood, and the corners of his mouth were also stained with blood, the boulder was already heavy, and with the rolling force, it was as powerful as thunder. Dugu Wen felt short of breath after he took it hard. Chest feels tight.
Jiang Shuo asked over Dugu, and said to him: "Xiang'er, take care of grandpa, I will protect Ambassador Guo." As he spoke, he rushed forward, and a huge boulder hit him in the face. He swung his palm and hit the boulder in the middle. The boulder flew out towards Guo Ziyi in front, causing all the soldiers to scream. However, the boulder flew very high and collided with the boulder that hit Guo Ziyi's head with a bang. They fell down the cliff together, but it was Jiang Shuo who Feishi saved Guo Ziyi's life.
Dugu Wen held the stone with both hands, but he only threw it six or seven feet, and barely passed over Guo Ziyi who was leaning on the horse and fell into the water. Everyone felt that his skill was miraculous, and Jiang Shuo hit the boulder forward with one palm and flew no more than ten feet. Xu, even hit another flying stone in the air, and its momentum continued to roll down the cliff. This was such a powerful force that it was beyond the power of human beings. In the eyes of the soldiers of Shuofang Army, it was like a god descending from heaven. Everyone in the valley suddenly burst into cheers, cheering for Jiang Shuo.
However, the rockfall was not over yet. Another boulder fell in front of Guo Ziyi. This boulder was particularly huge, almost like a hill. If it was blocked on the road, it would be blocked from both front and back, making its situation dangerous. The cliff here is almost straight up and down, and the small mountain-like boulder falls like a broken dragon stone, as if it was specially selected to seal the road in the mountain.
Jiang Shuo rushed forward, flew on the cliff, and passed Guo Ziyi as if he was walking on a cliff. He pressed his feet against the cliff, concentrated his strength and arms, and pushed forward with both palms, only to hear a roar. , the huge boulder broke away from the cliff, flew outward for about ten feet, avoided the mountain road, and fell straight into the Laishui River. The violent gravel splashed in the river bed, scratching many people and horses. The injured were okay, but the injured However, the horses were howling wildly, and the sergeant could not restrain them for a while. Jiang Shuo stopped the horses by shouting with the sound of a dragon and a horse.
At this time, the path on the mountain changed. Instead of huge rocks falling down, there were countless stones the size of wheat buckets flying towards Guo Ziyi's front and back. Although these stones were much smaller, they were numerous in number. Even if you don't die, you will be seriously injured.
Jiang Shuo turned around and grabbed Guo Ziyi's hand with his left hand. He didn't have time to explain, so he just said "offended" and pulled Guo Ziyi to jump up out of the air. As soon as they jumped up, several stones hit Guo Ziyi's head and back. The horse was so miserable that it was smashed to the ground immediately and died. Jiang Shuo swung his right palm in the air and hit a falling rock. The rock was only as big as a wheat bucket. Jiang Shuo flipped it casually as if it were child's play. Instead of falling, it flew sideways and hit another falling rock. When it was thrown back, it landed right at Jiang Shuo's feet. Jiang Shuo stretched out his foot in the air and jumped up again in the air. He stepped on another stone in the air. Repeatedly, he stepped on the flying stone and walked forward for dozens of seconds. After a few steps, we were out of the narrowest part of the canyon.
At this time, no more flying stones fell from the cliff. Jiang Shuo raised his head and shouted: "You hidden rats, don't you want to throw stones anymore?" A man on the valley laughed and said: "No more, no more, no more, Mr. Jiang." Master, you have to walk up the stone steps to the cliff."
Just when Jiang Shuo was planning this, he saw that there was obviously more than one person pushing down the stone. The stone fell in different directions. The cliff was only more than ten feet. Even Dugu Wen, who was the best in Qinggong, could not fly up the rock. But if he could fly, It is not impossible to jump up the cliff with stone feet. Jiang Shuo was speechless for a moment when the man told him. He didn't know how to answer the question.
But Guo Ziyi shouted: "Li Kailuo, why did you lead us to ambush like this?" It turned out that Guo Ziyi heard that the person speaking was the Khitan Li Kailuo, the previous guide, but Jiang Shuo had never seen Li Kailuo. At this moment Listening to his voice, although he has a northern Khitan accent, his voice is rich and heroic, and he does not seem to be a sinister villain.
The man did not reply to Guo Ziyi's question, but still said to Jiang Shuo: "Young Master Jiang is good at his skills. I admire him. I'll say goodbye today and see you again tomorrow."
The sergeants of Shuofang's army yelled and cursed at the foot of the cliff, but no one responded.
Guo Ziyi rode on the new horse sent by the sergeant and said: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's get out of the valley first and then make any calculations."
Jiang Shuo, Dugu Wen and other sergeants worked together to push the stones that fell on the road off the cliff and restored the road. Shuo Fang's army quickly walked out of the narrow valley and stationed their horses in the open area ahead. Jiang Shuo went around the cliff to see where Is there anyone else here? He came down the mountain and said to Guo Ziyi: "I thought Li Kailuo was working alone, but I didn't expect there to be so many helpers here."
Guo Ziyi shook his head and said: "Not necessarily. I heard that there are such 'rock valleys' in every county in Taihang. Rolling logs and rocks are prepared in advance and tied with ropes. Just wait for the enemy to fall into the trap and cut off the ropes. To kill the enemy, only a few soldiers are needed to operate it. If Li Kailuo still has some skills, he can operate it by one person to prevent the cavalry from the Donghu Squadron from attacking. My original theory is just a rumor, but I don't think it is true. of."
Jiang Shuo then remembered that he had just seen a lot of broken ropes on the cliff, which must be the trap Guo Ziyi mentioned. He nodded and said, "It seems that Li Kailuo is indeed very scheming and cunning."
Guo Ziyi said: "Looking back, do you recognize Li Kailuo? How did you know that he was planning to harm us?"
Jiang Shuo said: "Envoy Guo, who is this Li Kailuo? He is the Hu La that Li Huaixiu said that day he tricked him to assassinate you. Li Kailuo is his Chinese name."
Guo Ziyi twisted her beard and muttered: "Yes, now that I think about it, Li Kailuo is just a pseudonym..."
Jiang Shuo wondered: "How did Commander Guo know that he was using a pseudonym?"
