Jiang Shuo really thought that as long as he didn't involve Tuoba Qimei, it didn't matter to him where he went. At this moment, Dugu Xiang's words made sense. He thought like this, even if I die on the road, Xiang'er might still be able to escape. Yes, so he nodded to Xiang'er.
He made a weak "Xix" sound from his mouth, and Long Xiangma and his master had the same mind, and immediately turned their heads and galloped away towards the north.
Pi Luoge and the other three people saw this and immediately turned around. No matter how fast they ran, they could not catch up with Long Xiang's horse. But now Long Xiang's horse was carrying two people, but it could not get rid of the three of them. The two sides pulled away from each other. After a distance of two to three hundred steps, they could no longer close the gap, and they ran towards the mountains in the north one after the other.
Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang only heard that the cavalry led by Wang Zhongsi went all the way up the Mingshui River Valley in Guazhou, and then followed the southern foot of the Qilian Mountains to the coast of the West Sea. At this time, they only had to go against the path Wang Zhongsi came from. , you can return to Tang Guazhou by tracing the Qilian Mountains and the Styx River.
But it’s easier said than done. According to Wang Zhongsi, Guazhou is no less than a thousand miles away. There are so many rivers and valleys. How do you know which ravine leads to Guazhou in Hexi? However, he couldn't stop at this moment and could only simply tell Long Xiangma to "go north" and "find the big river". This was the only thing Jiang Shuo could think of.
In total, Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang had not had a good rest for three days and two nights, but Longxiang's horse had been looking for food and resting from last night to today, so it showed no signs of fatigue while carrying Shuo Xiang. At this moment, Jiang Shuo's consciousness was blurred, and Dugu Xiang's eyelids were twitching, and he took a nap on the horse. Fortunately, Long Xiang's horse was quite powerful and did not need to be driven. It would find its way and gallop towards the towering mountains to the north.
When Dugu Xiang suddenly woke up, he realized that the sun had already fallen to the west. I don't know how many hours had passed. Fortunately, Long Xiang's horse ran fast and steadily. Dugu Xianghe and Jiang Shuo were still on the horse and were not thrown off. Although Jiang Shuo's pulse was extremely weak, he was still alive, and his life was not in danger for a moment.
Dugu Xiang calmed down for a while, and then he began to observe the surrounding scenery. On the Tubo Plateau, mountains were connected to mountains, and ravines were connected to ravines. Longxiang's horse had been running for several hours, but the surrounding scenery did not seem to have changed. Dugu Xiang did not know. Wherever you go is the southern foot of the Qilian Mountains, and where is the source of the underworld water? All you know is that the terrain is getting higher and higher as Long Xiangma walks, and the surrounding temperature seems to have dropped a lot.
Longxiang's horse can travel hundreds of miles in a day. Judging from the position of the sun in the sky, it has only been two hours and two hundred miles today. However, Longxiang's horse has already begun to wheeze and pant at this moment. The air in the Tubo Plateau is thin. Not only horses, but also people will feel flustered and uncomfortable after running for a while like on the plains.
Therefore, despite the fatigue of Longxiang's horse, the three Pi Luo Ge who pursued them also found it difficult. Among them, Ge Luofeng had already fallen behind. At this moment, only Pi Luo Ge and Ye Guizhen were not far behind. , once you stop, you will be overtaken by them in a short time.
Long Xiangma also knew that there were pursuers behind him, so he did not dare to stop for a moment. At this time, the mountain road was getting steeper and steeper. Gradually, there was no grass on the ground, only exposed dark brown rocks and sand. Although it was a They forded many streams on the road, but never saw a big river. Therefore, Long Xiangma did not turn and kept galloping towards the high ground to the north.
After that, sporadic white snow gradually appeared on the barren mountain. After a while, the surrounding area was covered with a layer of plain white. The horse's hooves fell on the soft white snow, as if it suddenly entered the cold winter from midsummer. Dugu Xiang felt The horse seemed to be running on a thick carpet of carpet, and the bumps seemed to diminish.
At this time, Long Xiangma suddenly let out a long neigh. This neigh was like a cry of surprise, which woke up Jiang Shuo. When Shuo and Xiang looked forward, Long Xiangma had indeed found the "big river", but it didn't look like it. It may be the underworld water mentioned by Wang Zhongsi, because it is not a flowing river but a long and narrow glacier.
It is unknown whether this glacier was formed thousands or tens of thousands of years ago. Looking at the setting sun at this moment, the mountains are completely white, and even where the white snow has fallen, the transparent ten thousand-year-old ice inside is exposed. From a distance, this glacier looks like a river. , it looks like a wall up close, and people can’t help but admire the uncanny workmanship of nature.
Long Xiangma may have thought he had finally found the "river", so he suddenly turned around and galloped westward along the southern foot of the glacier. At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed on the glacier, but it was Pi Luoge and Ye Guizhen falling from the sky. It turned out that Ma The child cannot climb high. No matter how fast it runs, it can only find valleys, rivers and zigzag paths to move forward. However, Piluoge and Ye Guizhen can cross mountains and ridges. They see glaciers blocking the road from a distance, so they take a detour to get ahead of Long Xiang. Before the horse.
The incident happened suddenly, and Long Xiangma had no time to react. At this moment, whether they stabbed Long Xiangma to death with the air sword or killed him with a palm strike, Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang had no chance of escaping. However, they knew that Long Xiangma's divine horse was unavoidable. Having the idea of capturing them alive, Pi Luo Ge rushed forward and grabbed the bridle of Long Xiang's horse. Ye Guizhen jumped up and tried to capture the two men off their horses.
At the extremely critical moment, Jiang Shuo roared with all his strength and at the same time swatted Pi Luo Ge's hand that was holding the reins with his palm. Pi Luo Ge was shocked and thought that Jiang Shuo was just pretending to be injured. He quickly let go and fell on the snow. Go away, stay away.
At the same time, Long Xiang's BMW suddenly turned around, and Dugu Xiang raised his hand and said: "Fa Bao!"
I saw a ray of golden light flying towards Ye Guizhen's door. Ye Guizhen hurriedly dodged sideways, only to see that what fell to the ground was a short gold sheath studded with gems. It turned out that Dugu Xiang was reluctant to throw the gold tooth dagger, and only used the gold sheath Hit Ye Guizhen.
Ye Guizhen was not angry but smiled and said: "Okay, this is the second time today that you, little girl, have been deceived!"
Pi Luoge also knew that he had fallen into Jiang Shuo's scheme. If Jiang Shuo had really deceived him and deceived him, how could he have traveled two hundred miles before taking action?
However, when Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang were forcing them back, Long Xiang's horse had already run a few steps, leaped onto the glacier, the glacier was slippery, and the horse's hooves were slipping. It was not impossible for the horse to run, but the critical situation At the critical moment, Long Xiangma showed off his might and started galloping on the ice!
Pi Luoge and Ye Guizhen also jumped onto the glacier to pursue them. They only ran a few steps. Ye Guizhen said "Ah yo" and fell down first. Although Pi Luoge's Qinggong was excellent, it was only thrown a few feet further. , staggered, and fell.
Seeing that the distance between him and Long Xiangma was getting bigger and bigger, Piluoge held the sword secret in his hand and shot the air sword towards the ice. The ice on the glacier was extraordinary, it was ten thousand years of black ice. It did not melt even in the middle of summer, but the air sword was still there There was only a shallow pit dug out on the ice, but Piluoge was able to leap forward without slipping just by using this shallow pit. Ye Guizhen said with a smile, "This is a good idea, King Nanzhao!"
He also stepped forward in the shallow pit dug by Piluo Pavilion, which saved a lot of effort.
The glacier here is a line of ice and snow and a line of bare rock, extending to the top of the mountain like a staircase. Longxiang's horse will eventually be slower on the ice, but Piluoge uses his air sword to open the way much faster. The closer.
Finally, Longxiang's horse leaped to the top of the mountain. Shuo and Xiang originally thought that this mountain ridge was the back of the Qilian Mountains. When they looked to the north, they discovered that the mountains to the north were endless, and there were even higher peaks towering in the distance. . "Qilian" is a Xiongnu language. The Xiongnu called the sky "Qilian", and Qilian Mountain was the "Mountain of Heaven". Only then did the two realize how vast Qilian was.
Dugu Xiang suddenly pointed down and said: "Brother Shuo, there is really water!"
I saw a valley below, where melted water from the surrounding glaciers gathered, forming streams. The streams meandered along the ravines in the mountains to the northwest, gathering more and more, and as far as the eye could see, they turned into a big river in the distance.
Jiang Shuo thought to himself: This should not be the Mingshui. He heard that the upper reaches of the Mingshui originate from a large swamp. Moreover, the army is unable to move due to the glaciers here. But at this moment, the surrounding area is vast. Since there is a river, we will follow the river. There's no telling if he can escape.
He really didn't have the strength, so he patted Long Xiang's horse gently with his hand. The horse connected with its owner and ran towards the valley down the mountain.
Walking down the mountain road, people have an advantage over horses. Although the dragon horse is a horse and not a dragon after all, it can only run down step by step. However, Pi Luoge and Ye Guizhen are peerless masters, leaping from the mountain. After a while, he caught up with Long Xiangma.
The two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, clamped the dragon's horse, and at the same time reached out to grab the bridle, trying to force the horse to stop. Ye Qingyao wrapped his hands in his sleeves, waved to Ye Guizhen again, and said: "See the treasure!"
Ye Guizhen was so angry that he laughed and said, "Xiao Nizi, you only lie to me?"
It seems that Dugu Xiang has nothing to throw away now, so he can only hide his hands in his sleeves to play tricks. Ye Guizhen will not be fooled this time, and reaches out to grab Dugu Xiang's hand. Unexpectedly, there is a stinging pain in his palm, and blood comes out. It turned out that this time Duguxiang hid the gold-tooth dagger in his sleeve, and when Ye Guizhen was catching him, he stabbed him with the gold-tooth dagger. Because she had deceived Ye Guizhen twice before, Ye Guizhen was not prepared. Got her way.
Ye Guizhen stepped back in pain, but Jiang Shuo had nothing to do with Pi Luo Ge. He used all his strength to strike at Pi Luo Ge, but Pi Luo Ge had been fooled once, how could he fall for it again? Knowing that Jiang Shuo had no power to fight back at this moment, he grabbed the reins with one hand and grabbed Jiang Shuo's wrist with the other hand. However, he suddenly felt that his feet went soft, and the glacier roared and surged violently!
It turns out that this place is a fissure in the glacier. Due to the steepness of the mountain, the ice and snow fell on it and accumulated over time to form an ice cap. From a distance, it seemed to be the same as a glacier, but underneath it was empty. Long Xiangma's hooves stepped on it a few times. Then the entire ice cap was crushed.
Seeing the ice and snow falling "clattering", a large crack several feet wide across the mountain range was exposed, as if a huge mouth had opened in the glacier.
Pi Luo Ge hurriedly threw away the reins and struck Jiang Shuo with his palm. With the force of this blow, he retreated backwards and fell back to the rock. Ye Guizhen was lucky enough to be stabbed by Dugu Xiang just now. After a moment, he retreated first and did not stand on the ice cap.
Jiang Shuo was knocked off Longxiang's horse by Pi Luoge's palm. Seeing Longxiang's horse carrying Xiang'er falling into the abyss along with the ice sheet, Jiang Shuo gritted his teeth suddenly and put his hands on the horse's belly. With a lift, he shouted loudly, and the yin and yang energy surged up in his body, lifting Long Xiangma up several feet, and threw it towards the ice sheet in front of him that had not yet fallen.
Dugu Xiang turned around and was surprised to find that Jiang Shuo had fallen off his horse. He stretched out his hands to pull him, but he couldn't pull him. After Jiang Shuo threw the dragon horse, he used too much force and fell backward on the broken ice cap.
As soon as the dragon's horse landed on the ice in front, the ice immediately collapsed. The dragon's horse was really a magical horse. The moment before the ice collapsed, it jumped forward again. It was like a Pegasus, flying forward without skipping a beat. , and the ice surface continues to collapse behind it.
Jiang Shuo followed the broken ice as he fell down into the abyss. He saw Long Xiangma leaping like this several times before finally stepping onto the rock on the opposite side. This crack was so wide that no master could jump across it. , I think it’s safe to come to Xiang’er, right? Jiang Shuo thought of this and closed his eyes with peace of mind.
I feel that the light in front of me is getting darker and darker, and the darkness is completely shrouded...
Some people died, but not completely...
