〇[-]. Soldiers are coming

The carriage rumbled forward, but instead of going in the direction of Jinshui Town, it turned directly to the north and headed for Misty Ridge.The mountain road here has been abandoned for a long time. The road surface made of loess is full of potholes and overgrown with weeds. From time to time, some palm-sized black spiders crawl across quickly, dodging the rolling wheels.

The further you go into the mountains, the darker the light becomes, and the dense tree shadows on both sides isolate the sunlight.At the end of the road is a semi-circular valley, with a tall building in the middle, and rows of tombstones on the open space on both sides, which have been weathered for a long time and look dilapidated.Most of the surnames on the tombstones are "Gongsun", which should have been the ancestral tomb of this family with a double surname. The big house in the middle is obviously the ancestral hall.

Not paying attention to the weird atmosphere here at all, Pei Taiyue walked in familiarly, and saw a spacious tribute table in the middle of the ancestral hall, on which there were many rows lying crookedly, and behind the table was a statue of a god I don't know if it's a Bodhisattva or Sanqing, but the painted paint has peeled off to reveal the mud tire underneath. Under the dim light, it looks hideous like a ghost.

"...Who's here?" A voice came from the corner, sounding quite hoarse.It turned out that there was a man lying in the messy pile of debris, probably drunk, lazily stretching out a tattooed arm from the pile of junk.

"it's me."

"Oh, Ah Yue, come, have a drink with Master Jiu!"

With a loud belch, the man turned over and made a gesture of toasting in a daze.Pei Taiyue couldn't help frowning, and said: "Wake up, I need to find you."

"Isn't there something wrong with you when you came to see me?" the man muttered, and shrank into the pile of debris under him again, "either I asked me to find out the news for you, or I went to meet someone. My bird was snatched away! Ayao has been with me for so many years, it is a crime to have enough food and clothing in your hands..."

"Who is crying in my ear every day and saying, 'This broken bird can be eaten better than a human, and two catties of pork belly every day', let me take it home to help you take care of it?" Pei Taiyue retorted coldly, stretching out his hand to cover him One of the tattered blankets in the house was picked up and thrown aside.It turned out that this self-proclaimed "Jiu Ye" was a disciple of the Beggar Clan, his upper body was bare, and the pattern of indigo and vermilion was carefully tattooed on his strong arms, which was much more delicate than the dusty clothes.

It's just that he was drunk at this time, half of his wheat-colored face was hidden under his messy hair, only his sharp chin was exposed, and the stubble on it had grown more than half an inch long, and he didn't know how long it hadn't been trimmed. up.Pei Taiyue stared at him for a while, seeing that the other party had no intention of getting up, so she picked up the wine jar beside him, weighed it in his hand, and poured all the remaining wine on his face neatly !

"Pei Taiyue, you uncle!"

After being splashed with half a jug of cold wine, Lu Qingjiu was completely awake now.He jumped up like a carp, hooked his toes on the ground, picked up the broken bamboo stick that he used as a weapon, and picked it up in his hand, and swung a dragon leaping into the abyss, sweeping straight towards his face !

Pei Taiyue narrowly dodged the stick, Lu Qingjiu didn't panic when his move failed, instead, he used the strength of the blow to take advantage of the six dragons when he made a move.However, the three-finger-thick bamboo stick hit the ground hard, but it seemed to contain a mighty force, which made the whole ancestral hall tremble.

Knowing that the opponent was probably going to catch the crazy dragon dance, Pei Taiyue touched the ground with her toes, and her body fluttered back as if she had no weight.Lu Qingjiu saw him stalking the clouds and then soaring upwards, the long sword was unsheathed and turned nine times to one, abruptly pulling the distance between the two of them to the two farthest corners of the ancestral hall, and couldn't help cursing angrily: " If you have the ability, don't run away!"

"Master Jiu calm down," Pei Taiyue put away his sword, "I have business to see you."

Lu Qingjiu snorted, threw the bamboo stick in his hand on the ground, and said angrily, "I'm not from the Valley of the Wicked, why should I listen to you every time?"

"This time I really have to," Pei Taiyue sighed, "I'm afraid Hongliangang, Jinmenguan and Qingyunwu will not be able to defend themselves."

"Oh ah?!"

Lu Qingjiu's eyes widened suddenly, but Pei Taiyue just nodded.Before facing Ye Tianci and Tang Fei, in order to avoid low morale, he only emphasized that the situation is critical now, but now facing Lu Qingjiu, he told the truth.

The two teams of the Haoqi League came prepared, and even the deputy commander Chu Yangqiu came in person. It is definitely not something that a mere Golden Gate can handle.Once these three cities are lost, they can only retreat in the direction of Yixinglin—but that is the place under the jurisdiction of Qinsi. If the Haoqi League's way of Hongliangang is really related to it, then this group of defeated soldiers belonging to Tang Ruhui's forces, You can be turned away for any reason.In this way, not to mention that the strength of Evilman Valley will be greatly damaged, the careful balance between the two commanders Qin Si and Tang Ruhui will also be broken.

Therefore, in the current situation, the only way to take advantage of the Haoqi League's military strength to focus on the front line and to capture Jinmen Pass is to seize Fenghu Village by force - firstly, to resettle the remnants of the army, secondly, to restrain Qin Si, and thirdly, to stay behind. The possibility of a comeback—there is still a slight chance of winning.

"It's rare to see you with such a headache, my lord." After hearing Pei Taiyue's narration, Lu Qingjiu immediately gloated, "Didn't you say that 'once you enter this valley, you will never suffer'? There is no shortage of fights, right?"

Pei Taiyue rubbed his forehead, he was directly under the seat of Unextinguishable Smoke, and he was in charge of intelligence, so it was true that he seldom got involved in these trivial matters.However, the internal forces in the Valley of the Evil are really complicated, and it is absolutely impossible to be alone.Coupled with the fact that he now has eleventh-level combat achievements, even if he deliberately keeps a low profile, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him behind his back.Therefore, he finally voted on Tang Ruhui's side, not to mention, if Qin Si really colluded with the Haoqi League, then he would definitely have no reason to sit idly by.

Seeing his frowning, Lu Qingjiu immediately felt better. He jumped onto the altar behind him, dangling his legs and said, "Success, for Ayao's sake, I'll help you again."

"Control Fenghu Village and meet the remnants from Jinmen Pass."

"How many villains and scattered people in this area can you contact?"

Pei Taiyue stretched out three fingers.

"Three hundred? This matter is a bit tricky, I have to think about it..."

"Not three hundred."

Lu Qingjiu blinked, looked at Pei Taiyue's three fingers upside down several times, and lay down straight on the altar with a "snap": "Thirty? Are you kidding me?"

"Only three."

Lu Qingjiu jumped up again, reached out to touch Pei Taiyue's forehead, with a serious face: "Ah Yue, did you take the wrong medicine today?"

"In our haste, even if we gather hundreds of people, what can we do? How can we beat the Haoqi League and wait for work?" Pei Taiyue waved his hand away, "Isn't the reason why Fenghu Village was lost last time? A scout from the Haoqi League entered?"

"You mean..." Lu Qingjiu was startled, and then realized, "Those three people were arranged a long time ago. Is it the team from Jinshui Town who really attacked the city?"

"Yes," Pei Taiyue nodded, "You take your people to disturb people's hearts in the city, and when the remnant army arrives, you can give the three people orders to do something according to the situation," he slightly raised the corners of his lips, showing a smile. With a chilly smile, "It's the right way to treat a person in the same way!"

Perhaps Pei Taiyue was a little more aggressive, Chu Loufeng had been in a coma for several hours before slowly waking up.Pei Taiyue was originally reading a stack of letters and newspapers, but now seeing him wake up, she folded the papers—unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his hand, Chu Loufeng subconsciously raised his hand to cover his neck, his face full of tears. Kuxiang: "I didn't see anything, stop fighting!"

Pei Taiyue was startled, and just now she wanted to understand what the other party was saying, and she was speechless for a while.Seeing that he didn't intend to knock himself unconscious again, Chu Loufeng felt relieved, and said with a smile, "I thought just now that Taoist Pei let me go in the morning, but now I regret it."

"I do regret it."

When Pei Taiyue answered blankly, Chu Loufeng froze in fright and stopped talking.The carriage came to Jinmen Pass in this strange silence, and from a distance, under the high sky in early autumn, the towering outer city had been destroyed by the car, and it was crumbling and hadn't collapsed yet.The big blue flag fluttering fluttered above the Haoqi League's battle formation, like surging waves.Among them, Shuai Qi is the most conspicuous, and a shadow with long hair in black can be seen in the distance.

Confronting them was a whole row of soldiers from the Valley of the Wicked, forming a half-moon-shaped line under the inner city wall.The two crescent moons pointed backwards, guards in light armor held spears, and the rear team was archers with longbows.The whole formation is like a huge hedgehog, aiming its hard long thorns at enemies with malicious intentions, protecting its softest belly.

Behind these people, the half-collapsed city wall has almost lost all defensive functions, and only a few bed crossbows are still standing stubbornly on it.The huge crossbow bolts with a diameter of two inches were placed in rows in the box, guarding the last line of defense of the city.

Perhaps it was because a wave of tragic attacks had just ended, and now neither of the two sides intended to strike first, but each was resting in place.Pei Taiyue drove the carriage quietly around to the corner gate on the other side, and after checking her identity, she entered the Golden Gate Pass smoothly, and saw Ye Tianci's familiar back in brocade clothes from a distance.

"Boss, you're here!" Ye Tianci strode over, and without waiting for Pei Taiyue's answer, he continued on his own, "When I arrived in the afternoon, the mice from Qutang Gorge had already arrived. The organ under Tang's command insisted on carrying it down. When A-Tang rushed over with the people from Qingyunwu, you didn't see that the commander of Jinmenguan was so moved that he almost cried!"

Speaking of this, Ye Tianci made a funny crying expression, Pei Taiyue nodded: "Is there anything else?"

"The situation is very bad. Although many rats have been killed, this stronghold is about to fail." Ye Tianci put away his smile and sighed softly, "The commander said that it can hold up to one or two more attacks at most. "

"I see," Pei Taiyue nodded, "I've made arrangements for Fenghu Village. If the Golden Gate Pass falls, we will forcefully break through. However, if we can hold the Golden Gate Pass..."

Ye Tianci was overjoyed: "Defend the Golden Gate? Boss, what trump card do you have?"

"No," Pei Taiyue shook her head, lowered her eyes and wondered what she was thinking, before sighing softly after a long time, "Anyway, let's try."

Pei Taiyue escorted Chu Loufeng up to the gate tower of Jinmen Pass, stood under the red flag of the Evil Man Valley, and said loudly, "Commander Chu, are you safe?"

He pushed Chu Loufeng in front of him, who staggered a step and almost fell on the battlements.And under the city, the moment Chu Yangqiu saw Lou Feng clearly, his body stiffened abruptly.

Up and down the city wall, the two brothers looked at each other silently. The strange atmosphere was exaggerated. Everyone involuntarily fell silent. rattle.

"...Brother."

Chu Loufeng whispered.

His voice was not loud, but one stone stirred up thousands of waves.Pei Taiyue didn't speak, just watched Chu Yangqiu clenched his fists tightly, and then slowly let go: "What do you want?"

"Let Haoqi withdraw his troops and leave Jinshui Town."

"... despicable and shameless!"

Chu Yangqiu gritted his teeth, but could only watch as Pei Taiyue drew out the long sword in his hand and pressed it against Chu Loufeng's neck: "According to Chu's command, if you don't really do something, isn't it not worthy of the name?"
