I live in Beihai Jun Nanhai [Rebirth]
Chapter 58
Zhong Zangchan raised his head in a jerk, and saw that the white hair had already appeared above the forest on the top of the opposite cliff. At the same time, bunches of torches appeared on the edge of the forest, and soon they densely extended for a small half circle. .
There was a commotion around the altar, and those people looked up at the cliff one after another, obviously unprepared for the sudden arrival of heavenly soldiers.
Then, the turmoil spread to the entire depression, and people came out of the wooden houses all over the place one after another, gathering, almost occupying the entire depression.
Zhong Zangchan's eyes swept over the crowd, and soon he found a man and a woman in luxurious clothes surrounded by the surrounding people in front of a tall house. The formation seemed to be a kind of protection.
King and Empress.
Zhong Zangchan immediately made a judgment. Under such circumstances, the most important and noble person who can be protected by everyone is the most important and noble person, and the great Wu Ya Zhong Zangchan has seen it before. Therefore, the most important thing in the Qi Kingdom must be the ruler and queen.
But strangely, no one spoke.
The little commotion at the beginning had already subsided as the crowd gathered. At this moment, there was a strange silence in the entire depression, and even the insects stopped singing as if they were frightened.
The actions of all Qi people in the depression at this time are so unified.
Look up to the sky.
There was no panic, no confusion, just deathly silence.
Finally, it was the first person on the cliff to speak, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Listen, people below, you are surrounded! Capture them with nothing!"
At the same time, all the soldiers on the cliff raised their bows and crossbows, and aimed at the people down the cliff condescendingly.
"Really vulgar." Ulanda muttered contemptuously.
Zhong Zangchan also suddenly wanted to laugh, but this time was obviously inappropriate, and she was more concerned about how these people under the cliff would answer now.
However, no one answered.
There was still silence in the hollow, as if they didn't hear Da Luan's call at all, they kept their heads up and looked up at the sky, motionless, like a forest of stone sculptures.
This is too calm, right?
Zhong Zangchan thought strangely, what's the use of looking at the sky at this time?Is it possible to still expect rescue soldiers to fall from the sky?
She raised her head involuntarily and followed their gazes to the sky, but she didn't find anything unusual.
The night sky is still as deep as a pool of ink, dotted with stars, and a bright moon hangs in the center. A thick dark cloud gradually moves with the wind, approaching the bright moon silently, like a huge mouth, bit by bit the bright moon Moonlight obscures, devours.
At this moment, a cluster of torches suddenly fell to the ground and went out in the depression.
Immediately afterwards, all the people holding the torches seemed to have received an order, and only heard the sound of "puff puff puff". It was extinguished with the sound of "呲", and the whole depression was suddenly plunged into darkness.
Zhong Zangchan was startled, could it be...they were waiting for this moment when the dark clouds covered the moon?
The sound of rustling footsteps came from the bottom of the cliff, but it didn't appear chaotic at all, it was as orderly as if it had been prepared long ago.
The Daluan soldiers at the top of the cliff on the opposite side obviously did not expect this to happen, and eagerly shouted: "Let the arrows! Quick! Quickly release the arrows!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa—"
The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air sounded instantly, and the soldiers couldn't see anyone, so they could only listen to the sound and shoot randomly.
Finally, there was no more silence at the foot of the cliff. People screamed in pain after being hit by arrows one after another, but there were not many voices. It seemed that these arrows did not cause much hindrance to them.
Zhong Zangchan was also very surprised at this time, obviously she never thought that the people under the cliff would respond in this way, she really didn't understand, so what if the fire was extinguished?They were trapped in the depression, could they still grow wings to fly away?
The sound of flying arrows continued, but there was no more shouting from the bottom of the cliff. The arrows that were fired seemed to be all shot to the ground, making a crisp sound of "popping".
There was a commotion on the top of the cliff opposite, and he only heard an order: "Stop! Don't shoot, go down and have a look!"
Hearing this, Zhong Zangchan's mind turned: Could it be that the people of Qi State extinguished the fire when the moonlight was covered to lure the Daluan soldiers down?What did they do to ambush you below?
At this moment, Ulanda leaned over and picked up a vine, turned his head and said, "I'm going."
Zhong Zangchan was taken aback for a moment, only to see Shui Jing Shenzun nodded: "Well, be more careful."
"Don't worry!" Ulanda smiled confidently.
After finishing speaking, he quickly walked to the edge of the cliff, turned around, grabbed the vine, kicked off the cliff and quickly followed the vine.
Zhong Zangchan followed to the edge of the cliff. Seeing that Ulanda had already gone down quite a bit, she turned to look at Shuijing Shenzun and said, "Isn't it dangerous for him to go down now? What if there is an ambush?"
At this time, she understood why Ulanda was wearing Daluan armor. Now that the Daluan soldiers on the opposite side were going down the vines, Ulanda also went down at this time, relying on that armor to sneak into them in the dark. not difficult.
However, if the Qi people set up some traps, wouldn't Ulanda and the Daluan soldiers fall for it?
"Don't worry," Shui Jing Shenzun said firmly, "There is no ambush."
No ambush?What are the Qi people doing to put out the fire?Could it be that they wanted to escape by climbing up the vines while the Daluan soldiers were going down the cliff?
Thinking of this, Zhong Zangchan couldn't help stretching out his head to look vigilantly at the vines on the surrounding cliffs, for fear that a human head would suddenly appear from nowhere.
Seeing her actions, Shi Jiu suddenly chuckled and said, "Don't look for them, they won't come up."
Zhong Zangchan was even more at a loss, seeing Shi Jiu raised his chin towards the opposite side and said, "Don't worry, just look."
Zhong Zangchan raised his eyes to look at the opposite mountain wall, and saw one after another soldiers holding torches descending into the hollow along the vines one after another. They quickly dispersed and put the extinguished fires into braziers again. ignite.
The depression was illuminated by the flames again, and Zhong Zangchan was surprised to find that there was no sign of the Qi people in the entire depression, and there were Daluan soldiers everywhere, holding torches and turning in circles to look around in a daze. Bow-crossbow stands vigilantly facing all sides on arms.
Ulanda had obviously mixed in with these people at this time, but Zhong Zangchan looked from a distance but couldn't tell which one was him.
On the altar, the crock was still in place.
Zhong Zangchan said in amazement: "They left the eldest son of the emperor behind!?"
"Of course," Shi Jiu laughed, "How slow is it to run away with the earthen jar?"
"Where did they escape from?" Zhong Zangchan was very puzzled. The depression was surrounded by mountain walls. Apart from the surrounding vines, where else could they escape?
Zhong Zangchan was thinking about it, and the leader of the Daluan soldiers had also arrived in the depression, looking around and shouting: "What's going on? Where are people!?"
No one answered, and all the soldiers were just as puzzled as he was. They just looked around blankly, but they couldn't figure out how those Qi people could suddenly disappear.
The general stepped up to the altar quickly, and walked around the earthen jar, his face full of surprise.
They have heard about the legends and sacrifices of the Qi Kingdom for a long time, so they can naturally guess who is in the jar, but he can't believe that the Qi Kingdom simply left their eldest son here, completely ignoring it. ?
Suddenly, a soldier ran back from a distance, hurriedly cupped his fists and knelt down: "General Qi, there is a discovery on the mountain wall!"
The voice was so familiar that Zhong Zangchan recognized it was Ulanda almost immediately.
"Discovered?" The person called the general asked in surprise, "What did you discover?"
Ulanda stood up and said, "General, please follow me."
Afterwards, Ulanda led the way, followed by the general and other soldiers, and walked straight to the southwest mountain wall.
When he got close to the mountain wall, Ulanda lifted the layers of vines hanging from the cliff and the grass blades growing around it, and a dark hole was immediately exposed on the rock wall, the width of which could accommodate two carriages in parallel.
"Secret way!?" The general was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly ordered, "Hurry up!"
"Don't worry, general," Ulanda said.
As he said that, he walked to the right for a while, and lifted the vine again, revealing another hole that was exactly the same as the previous one.
Before the general could be surprised in the future, Ulanda immediately walked to the right for a while, then lifted the vine, and there was another hole...
One after another, there are actually five identical secret passage entrances lined up on the entire mountain wall!
Zhong Zangchan suddenly realized that nothing had disappeared out of thin air. There had always been a secret passage on the mountain wall, but it was only covered by those vines.
The reason why the Qi people extinguished the fire was to set up two guarantees for their escape.
Firstly, in the darkness, Da Luan couldn't find out where they escaped from. After walking down the vines, he found that there was no one in the depression. They really master some unknown magic to fly.
If the Daluan soldiers were disturbed by this kind of thinking, it would be the best result if they never found the secret way, but Qiguo didn't think that they were really so stupid, so there was a second way of protection for them.
Even though Da Luan finally discovered the secret path, there are as many as five of them.
To chase or not to chase?
Presumably they will chase.
But which one to pursue?Or follow all five?
This would require some hesitation.
Da Luan's hesitation was like buying enough time for Qi State to escape further.
The general stared dumbfounded at the secret passages and stood still: "This..."
They didn't bring many people here this time. If there was only one secret path, it would be feasible to follow it with all their strength, but now there are five, what should we do?
While hesitating, he glanced in the direction of the altar again.
Da Luan didn't believe in Hong Luan, so naturally he didn't have much interest in this blood sacrifice technique, but the jar was at least the eldest son of Emperor Qi, and even though he was of no value to Da Luan, it was not good to just ignore him.
Now the pursuit is imminent, but what should we do with this earthen jar?
There was a commotion around the altar, and those people looked up at the cliff one after another, obviously unprepared for the sudden arrival of heavenly soldiers.
Then, the turmoil spread to the entire depression, and people came out of the wooden houses all over the place one after another, gathering, almost occupying the entire depression.
