Cloud of the Qing Dynasty
Chapter 91 Flower Canyon
"However he loses his temper, we can only talk about it after he wakes up." Lu Zhiqian has long been used to Zhang Chi's behavior, so he slapped him on the back, "Don't be too busy gloating, brat, now attacking Yinyue Palace The matter is stuck in a bottleneck, and Bai Song can't help much with his appearance, my head is going to explode, you always have a lot of ghost ideas, hurry up and think about whether there is any place to break through."
Zhang Chi asked in surprise: "During the ten days that Liuyun and I have been trapped at the bottom of the valley, has there been no progress at all in the camp?"
"It's not that there is no progress at all." Lu Zhiqian stood up and said, "I just plan to go to see the terrain again, so you come with me."
Lu Zhiqian took Zhang Chi and a few of his soldiers for a walk, and climbed up a nearly vertical cliff from a rope ladder that was obviously built recently.
When they climbed to the top of the mountain, Lu Zhiqian instructed him to lower his body and be careful to hide, and then pointed him to a certain direction in the distance. Looking from here, through layers of lush and towering trees, a section of moss-covered trees could be vaguely seen. Looking at the huge stone statues on the ancient city walls and gates, Zhang Chi said in amazement, "Could it be the Yinyue Palace there? It's much bigger than I imagined."
"That's right, I don't know how many slaves were exhausted to build such a big palace in the deep mountains." Lu Zhiqian said, "We sacrificed a lot of heroes and spies in the army these days, and finally found the palace. Now that we know the exact location of the Yinyue Palace, and with the map of the Yinyue Palace you got by accident, at least we won’t be ignorant of the structure inside, but how to get in is still a big problem.”
Zhang Chi also noticed that there is no way from the top of the mountain where they are hiding to the Yinyue Palace. Unless they are extremely high-level qinggong masters, the only way to get in and out is a wooden plank road built on the mountainside below. .And that plank road, Zhang Chi, knows how dangerous it is without having to walk it himself. Looking up from the plank road, you can see the top of the cliff like a knife and an axe. Looking down, you can see the mountain stream with surging torrents and rough rocks. Once you fall, you will not die. seriously injured.
"So, is there anything wrong with this plank road?" Zhang Chi asked.
Lu Zhiqian frowned, and said sadly: "It may not be easy to find from here, take a closer look at the opposite side of the plank road."
Zhang Chi squinted his eyes and tried hard to distinguish. The mountain wall opposite the plank road was less than ten feet away from the plank road, and some small dark holes seemed to be faintly visible on the mountain wall.
That definitely didn't come naturally.
"Could it be that..." Zhang Chi gasped, "They hollowed out the cliff opposite!"
"Yes." Lu Zhiqian said, "These small holes are all hollow inside, and they are located just opposite to the opposite plank road. As long as someone hides in the mountainside and shoots crossbow arrows on the opposite plank road through these arrow holes, we will No matter how many soldiers and horses there are, they can't pass through. No wonder the Red Lotus Sect dares to act so recklessly. With such a terrain advantage, it is impossible for a large group of troops to kill them. Entrance, if you can't attack this dark fort hidden in the mountainside, you can only be alone and helpless, and you will die in vain."
"I have an idea." Zhang Chi slapped his thigh and said, "There is an iron guard in Jinghong Mountain Villa, which can use special large shields to form an iron barrel-like defensive formation, which is tighter than the shield spear formation of Iron Wolf Cavalry. Many, I have seen them use this formation to pass through a secret passage that shoots hidden weapons in all directions, and there is nothing wrong with it, not to mention that the crossbow arrows here are only shot from the opposite direction."
"What you said, Master Qin has already thought of it, and the iron guards have already tried it."
No need to go on, Zhang Chi has already guessed the ending. If the Iron Guards succeed, the army has already entered the Yinyue Palace. There is no need to sit outside and soak in the rain. General Lu doesn't need to frown here: "What is the place?" Something went wrong?"
"The crossbow arrows shot from the opposite mountain wall were not the only trouble we encountered. The wooden boards of the plank road were also tampered with, and many of them would break when stepped on. Push down the stone, pour a kind of poisonous water that will make people itchy, and release poisonous bee stings, and even the masters of the teaching came to intercept and beat the Iron Guards down the mountain. Fighting, but we have to beware of being injured by the crossbow arrows on the opposite side. We killed or injured more than a dozen people in that trip, and got nothing." Lu Zhiqian sighed, "If we can't find a way to block the arrow holes on the opposite side, we will simply pass. Can’t pass this level.”
"...Block it?" Zhang Chi rubbed his chin, and started to have bad ideas.
***
Zhang Chi came up with an idea that sounded extremely nonsense, and told Lu Zhigan, after hearing it, Lu Zhigan couldn't stop smiling bitterly: "You..."
"Isn't it possible?" Zhang Chi asked, "Anyway, the conventional style of play can't overcome this hurdle. Why don't you try to use a slanted sword, maybe it will have a miraculous effect."
"There's nothing wrong with it." Lu Zhiqian said, "Even Bai Song couldn't think of such a nonsense method. It's really scary for young people."
Zhang Chi laughed a few times in embarrassment, and Lu Zhiqian discussed some practical issues with him, and they didn't return to the temporary camp until very late.
Zhang Chi bid farewell to the general, and saw a little boy waiting for him outside: "Zhang Shaoxia, you can be regarded as coming back, Grand Master has been looking for you all day."
Zhang Chi thought something was wrong, and hurried to Mu Liuyun's side: "Liuyun, what's the matter, what can you do with me?"
Mu Liuyun was meditating on a flat stone platform cleaned up by the disciples, and when he saw Zhang Chi coming, he said calmly, "It's okay, but you haven't seen anyone all day when you just came back, so I'm worried."
"Are you worried about me?" Zhang Chi felt sweet in his heart. Mu Liuyun never noticed how long he had been out before, "Don't worry, I just went out with the general to look at the terrain. Next time I go out I will I greeted you first."
Mu Liuyun said: "General Lu really thinks highly of you."
"Because I have a lot of tricks." Zhang Chi patted his chest and said proudly, "The general will think of me when I can't solve the dilemma with normal tactics."
"Then did you come up with any tricks for him?"
"The secret must not be leaked." Zhang Chi looked at the surrounding Shangqing palace gatekeepers and other people in the Jianghu, and said mysteriously, "Liuyun, take good care of your body. In the next few days, we are going to make a big move."
***
In Yinyue Palace, Wei Fantian listened expressionlessly to the news brought back by the spies: "...So, Mu Liuyun really didn't die."
While peeling off the longan and feeding it to his mouth, Yingying said softly, "Why did the Young Master say 'Sure enough'? Could it be that the Young Master's clever calculations have already guessed that he would not die?"
"I had a hunch a long time ago that he is my mortal enemy. There will be a death battle between us. A person like him will not die in a puddle so easily." Wei Fantian grabbed her He squeezed his little hands, "But don't worry, in terms of martial arts, I will not lose to him."
The spy secretly raised his head and took a look. It was a little suspicious that Yingying was captured and dedicated to the young leader at such a sensitive period, but she didn't know what good method she used to coax her into being unable to do so because of poisoning. It's really strange that the girlish young leader also dotes on her very much.
Wei Fantian asked the secret agent: "What about the anti-corruption plan I arranged, did Ah Wu implement it?"
"I heard that as soon as Mu Liuyun came back, he stabbed A Wu to death with a sword on the spot, and he didn't even have time to say a word."
"It turned out to be like this..." Wei Fantian was very surprised. He had originally arranged another plan. If Mu Liuyun did not die, or if this matter was discovered, he would ask Ah Wu to provoke the sect according to his pre-arranged rhetoric. Mutual suspicion and internal strife, who knows that people are not as good as heaven, A Wu didn't even have a chance to speak, which wasted his painstaking thinking.
Wei Fantian frowned: "He directly kills people without saying a word. Could it be that people from other sects just sit back and watch this happen?"
"They all dare not speak out."
"Hmph, what a bunch of decent families." Wei Fantian snorted coldly, "Is there any other news?"
The spy said: "After Ah Wu's death, we couldn't get close to the camp to check their movements carefully. We only saw them chopping bamboo to make water dragons for extinguishing the fire from a distance. Perhaps it was to prevent another fire attack, and Lu Zhiqian He arranged for people to dig a lot of silt, opened a kiln to burn pottery or bricks, and I don’t know what he is going to do.”
"Send a few more people and keep an eye on it." Wei Fantian frowned and said, "Lu Zhiqian never does useless things, there must be a conspiracy in it."
"Yes." The spy said goodbye and left.
Wei Fantian let out a long sigh, and rubbed his temples in annoyance, Yingying came behind him and squeezed his shoulders: "Young Master, be safe and don't be impatient."
"What do you think they are trying to do?"
"Based on such a little information, I can't guess it." Yingying said, "Could it be that the young leader only has Wu as a spy who can go deep into the enemy camp?"
"Originally there were other people." Wei Fantian said, "Sometimes I really doubt that the heavens will be against me. The secret agent's identity is hidden, and even the people in the sect rarely know his existence, so it will be safer. , But last time when we raided the camp and set fire to it, among so many people, it happened that he was burned to death by such a coincidence, this time, I really lost my eyesight."
Yingying comforted him and said: "there is a saying that when heaven will send a great mission to people, they must first suffer from their hearts and minds, work their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, and empty their bodies. This little setback suffered by the young leader is nothing but It’s just a small stepping stone on the road to hegemony.”
"It's just your sweet mouth." Wei Fantian smiled dotingly, "It's just that the old man Yin Yang Banner was very dissatisfied with me after several setbacks, and he kept provoking me in front of my father. It's a pity that Lu Zhiqian couldn't kill him at that time. .”
"Yin Yang Qi, I heard that last time he had a very unpleasant quarrel with the Rakshasa girl because of a concubine. I have a plan, which is enough to make him burnt out, and he has no time to bother the Young Master's important matters."
"Oh? Let's hear it." Wei Fantian pricked up his ears with interest.Maybe it's because of staying in the high-ranking official's back house for a long time, Yingying is very good at perceiving people's hearts, and can always handle some interpersonal matters without any trace, which is by no means comparable to those stupid women around him who only know how to be jealous, although he Now we need to restore our skills as soon as possible to face powerful enemies, and we should not be close to women. It is also good to keep such a gentle, amiable and understanding woman by our side to discuss matters and listen to her soft voice to soothe our tired spirit. .
Of course, he is not defenseless, but there is nothing suspicious about Yingying, she is a little woman like Xie Yuhua, her admiration for Wei Fantian is so obvious that Wei Fantian, who has never been short of women, is not afraid. Consciously a little fluttering up.
Zhang Chi asked in surprise: "During the ten days that Liuyun and I have been trapped at the bottom of the valley, has there been no progress at all in the camp?"
"It's not that there is no progress at all." Lu Zhiqian stood up and said, "I just plan to go to see the terrain again, so you come with me."
