"General, would you like me to take the people in first to take a look? There is something fishy about this stone forest," You Shao said.
But even though You Shao said this, there wasn't much nervousness on his face.
After all, he had never seen this red stone forest, and he had only heard a few instructions from Xie Xun before, but he still didn't quite believe it.
What can be so powerful about just these broken stones?
But Qin Rushuang had different ideas from him.
During these days of studying with Taoist Lianqing, she knew that there were many things in this world that were both unresolved and unresolved.
Especially if it is related to Qi Men Escape Techniques, it is even more difficult for you not to believe in evil.
Therefore, she was still more cautious and said to You Shao: "First send a small team of people in to check the situation. Don't be careless."
Hearing what Qin Rushuang said, You Shao became even more competitive.
"Aren't these just a few broken stones? Even if there is something inside, there is no way to hide people in such a big place. Is the general afraid of encountering enemy troops inside? Don't be afraid! If so, I will beat him to pieces.
flow!"
After he finished speaking, he took the lead in crossing the stone with his five thousand elite soldiers, regardless of Qin Rushuang's dissuasion.
However, something strange happened again.
The heavy fog that had disappeared before suddenly appeared and surrounded the rocks as if it was being pulled by You Shao after he directed the five thousand people to enter.
You Shao hadn't gone in yet, so he frowned slightly when he saw this situation.
Is there really something fishy?
But he still didn't believe these ridiculous claims, so he raised his legs and wanted to follow them in.
"You Shao! Wait!"
Qin Rushuang shouted loudly, which finally made You Shao stop in his tracks.
But even though he stopped, there was still a somewhat unconvinced expression on his face.
"What's there to be afraid of with this broken stone? General, you are too cautious!"
Qin Rushuang didn't want to argue with him.
She knew that each of Xie Xun's lieutenants had their own personalities.
For example, You Shao, although he has a bit of a hot temper, he has a forthright personality and is a brother-in-law with the soldiers, which makes him quite popular among the soldiers.
Although Qin Rushuang is now the chief general and has the right to scold You Shao, she still doesn't want You Shao to lose face in front of the soldiers.
You Shao will have to take care of his subordinates from now on. If he is impatient and accuses him in front of everyone, how will he be allowed to show dignity in front of the soldiers in the future?
How do you ask him to command his soldiers?
She was grateful that You Shao and others were willing to listen to her orders and did not let her, who had just arrived, be a mere commander.
Therefore, I still tried to persuade him, "Let's wait until your soldiers come back from the investigation."
Seeing Qin Rushuang talking to him in a nice voice, You Shao no longer wanted to argue. Instead, he felt that he was being petty, so he shut up.
He just wanted to wait for the soldiers to come out later. He must be the first to rush in and see what kind of place this is that can scare so many people!
However, they waited for two full incense sticks, but still no soldiers came out.
Now not only Qin Rushuang, but also You Shao himself felt uneasy.
Were the soldiers ambushed inside? Or was there some strange trap inside?
But they didn't hear a sound outside!
Except for the first footsteps of the soldiers walking in, there was no sound after that. It didn't look like there was a fight or falling into a trap!
You Shao's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to be arrogant now. He asked Qin Rushuang, "General, do you want to send another group of troops in to take a look?"
Qin Rushuang frowned. Although only five thousand people had entered, and they could send more people in, she was afraid that the next group of people would never come back.
She turned over and dismounted, and asked the people around her: "Did you bring a rope?"
No one knew what she was selling, but someone still stood up and handed her the ropes that people carry with them to bind the prisoners.
Qin Rushuang looked at the length and found it was far from enough, so she asked someone to bring more.
In this way, Qin Rushuang took ten ropes and tied them tightly together to form a long rope of considerable length.
She tied one end of the rope around her waist and handed the other end to Nie Lei's hand, "Hold this end while I go in to check the situation."
"General!"
At this time, several lieutenants and Mu Duo present showed obvious disapproval.
Nie Lei was the first to speak, "Even if we have to go in to investigate, we should go there!"
But Qin Rushuang didn't wait for them to argue anymore, and took the lead in walking through the stone gate.
She said to Nie Lei, "If something happens inside later, I will pull the rope. If you feel the force of my pulling on the rope, pull me out immediately."
Nie Lei nodded, with a cautious look on his face.
Qin Rushuang followed the door and walked straight in.
After walking inside, there was a faint smoke floating around me, but I could still see the road ahead clearly.
She looked at the scene inside, and when she walked in, she saw that just like the name of the Red Stone Forest, it was full of weird red stones, and each of the stones inside was higher than the height of an adult man, blocking the view in front of her.
These stones appear to be standing in a chaotic manner, but they also seem to follow a certain pattern.
Among the stones, there were some paths that could only be passed by two or three people. Qin Rushuang walked along this path and found nothing strange for the time being.
But after walking for a while, she gradually realized something was wrong.
She actually walked back to her original place!
She tried to go back along the same path, but no matter how she walked, she seemed to be going back on the same path.
And I don't know if it was Qin Rushuang's illusion, but she always felt that in this environment full of strange rocks, she began to become restless and had some unreasonable thoughts in her heart.
The color of the stone in front of me seems to be more beautiful than when I first came in.
Something is wrong, we can’t go on like this!
Qin Rushuang closed her eyes and dug her nails into the palms of her hands. A sharp pain came through, which cheered her up!
She looked down and saw that her other hand had already touched the rope around her waist!
I'm afraid if she had been slower for a few seconds, she would have untied the rope around her waist before she even knew it!
Qin Rushuang broke out in a cold sweat!
She closed her eyes, undisturbed, pulled the rope sharply with her hand, and then stood there waiting for movement from the other end of the rope.
After a while, the rope was slowly tightened, and she retreated bit by bit with the force of the rope.
She didn't open her eyes until she heard the voices of Nie Lei and others. At this time, she was already standing at the door of the Red Stone Forest.
When everyone saw her coming out, they all looked anxious.
"How are you, Princess? We just pulled the rope several times shortly after you entered, but there was no response from you. Even when we called loudly, you didn't respond. What's inside?!"
Qin Rushuang's face turned pale and she said, "There seems to be something hallucinogenic in this forest. I almost untied the rope myself just now."
Among the few people, You Shao was the most anxious.
His most trusted soldiers are still in the stone forest!
He quickly asked, "Princess, have you seen the soldiers who went in before?"
Qin Rushuang shook her head with a heavy face, "I didn't see anyone or any living thing after I went in, and I couldn't even hear any noise."
You Shao's face turned pale. It seemed that these five thousand soldiers and horses were already in danger!
"General! What should we do now? It's all my fault! I shouldn't have let these people in and take risks!"
You Shao's face was filled with annoyance.
However, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the surroundings. Qin Rushuang was shocked and shouted, "Be careful!"
She turned around suddenly, only to see a group of Dayan soldiers surrounding her.
