At this time, Lu Dong and Wang Long had arrived at the mountain temple with their army under the leadership of Mahan. After all, they were well-trained soldiers, and their marching speed was obviously faster than ordinary people.
Mahan was also amazed by the marching speed of this group of people.
According to Tian Wen's instructions, he had to slow down. Thinking of this, he deliberately looked out of breath.
"Masters, can we walk slower? I really can't walk anymore."
Seeing him panting, Lu Dong and Wang Long looked at each other helplessly.
"Okay, you tell us how to go up. We are in front and you come up later."
At this point, Mahan had no other choice. "Follow the road up and you will reach a steep slope. It will be more than three feet down. You can just camp there."
Lu Dong and Wang Long immediately set off with their soldiers.
Tens of thousands of people were walking on Qingniu Mountain in great numbers. They were so startled that the birds on the roadside hovered high in the sky and did not dare to fall down for a long time.
Watching the birds flying down the mountain in droves, circling and flying up the mountain.
Chen Xiaobei knew that Zhu Meng's army must have entered the mountain.
As the sun turned to the west, Lu Dong and others rushed to the steep slope.
Look at the open terrain below the steep slope.
It is an excellent choice for setting up camp.
Tens of thousands of troops set up camp on Qingniu Mountain.
The scene was spectacular.
Even Chen Xiaobei and others who were standing guard on the top of the mountain could clearly see the continuous firelight.
Chen Xiaobei took the initiative to come to the top of the mountain to stand sentry. He could light a fire and hide on the leeward side, but he didn't want to come. It would be colder in a few days and he didn't want to come, so he proposed to take the village guards first.
Come on, you can't just let yourself stand guard in the future.
Seeing such a large fire, Chen Xiaobei felt a chill in his heart. Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise he would not have had a way to survive.
Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei saw several figures flashing in front of him. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Prince Xiao Jingyun and Liu Rumei.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei, Liu Rumei smiled and explained, "His Royal Highness is worried about the strong wind at night, so he came up to see you."
Chen Xiaowei knew that this must be an excuse and there must be another reason, but he didn't want to ask more.
Sure enough, Xiao Jingyun pointed to the continuous firelight in the distance and said, "The other party came so fast. Looking at this posture, there must be tens of thousands of people on the mountain."
Chen Xiaobei suddenly thought that Xiao Jingyun had come to see the enemy, so he would never be able to see it in the dogwood forest.
Then Xiao Jingyun's judgment of the enemy's situation is quite accurate.
Under these conditions, first of all, we rule out the possibility that the other party has an internal conspiracy, and everything is left to our own guess.
This prince is indeed not simple.
At noon the next day, Lu Dong and Wang Long rushed to the edge of the canyon with their army.
Mahan pointed at the traces left behind, lowered his feet and pressed his chest.
"There used to be a chain bridge here that could lead to the other side. Who the hell did they demolish the chain bridge?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Dong patted his shoulder and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure there is a bridge here?"
"Yes, I'm sure there is. I went to the opposite side about half a month ago, and it leads all the way to the top of the mountain. You see it is the main peak."
Pointing to the main peak that was vaguely visible in the distance, Ma Han spoke firmly.
Wang Long squatted here and stared at the opposite side for a long time.
He suddenly pointed to a dark shadow and said to Lu Dong, "Do you think it looks like a rope there?"
"Yes, it's a rope, and there's more than one rope."
Liu Ce and Ma Biao used the rope to fly to the other side. They did not remove the rope, but stayed on purpose according to the instructions of Prince Xiao Jingyun. They had to tell the pursuers that there was someone on the main peak.
It is necessary to attract the attention of Zhu Meng's 300,000 troops here and create opportunities for the soldiers and horses of King Qin from all walks of life.
Wang Long and Lu Dong ordered their soldiers to set up camp, and at the same time summoned their generals to inspect the terrain and see if they could find a way to get over.
But looking at the canyon which was more than ten feet wide, everyone scratched their heads.
In the end, Lu Dong had no choice but to say, "There is really no other way. We can only go down to the bottom of the valley first, and then climb up from the other side."
Looking at the canyon king dragon that was dozens of feet deep, he shook his head.
"Climbing up such a deep canyon is impossible without a rope."
Lu Dong pointed to the opposite side, "Isn't that there? Let's go east and west. At night, we will walk five miles downstream to pose as if we are crossing the canyon, and order people to pass through here quietly."
At this time, behind a hidden boulder on the other side, Prince Xiao Jingyun, his sister Princess Zhaoning, Chen Xiaobei, Liu Rumei, Ma Biao, Liu Ce, Liu Kai and others were silently watching Lu Dong and others gesticulating here.
Looking at the black ant-like soldiers opposite her, Princess Zhaoning took a deep breath.
Fortunately, I came here. If I were surrounded by them in Qingniu County, it would be really bad.
The Master of Lotus took a step forward and whispered beside Princess Zhaoning, "Your Highness, let's go back. It's too dangerous here."
Princess Zhaoning shook her head and looked at her eldest brother, "Brother, how long do we have to stay here?"
Xiao Jingyun looked at the other side and let out a slight breath, "Maybe we have to wait until all the troops arrive."
"But will there really be so many people coming to visit the King?" Princess Zhaoning asked again.
Facing his questioning, Xiao Jingyun was actually very nervous inside, but he remained calm on the surface.
"Don't worry, the ten princes are all loyal subordinates who have followed my father through life and death, and they will all come."
"Then what do we do now?"
Xiao Jingyun looked behind him. Everyone had different expressions on their faces. He knew very well that he had to behave calmly and calmly, otherwise he would be defeated if people's hearts dispersed.
"We just need to wait with peace of mind. Don't worry, it will definitely come."
At dinner time, the old housekeeper Liu Kai quietly pulled Liu Ce aside.
"Last time you came in, could you find the way down the mountain?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ce smiled bitterly and said, "There is a way down the mountain. Do you remember that steep slope? We still have to pass there."
Upon hearing this, Liu Kai was dumbfounded, "The terrain there is dangerous, Zhu Meng will definitely send heavy troops to guard it."
"Yes, the other way is to go straight ahead and cross the Longwang River to get out of the mountain." Liu Ce said another way.
After hearing this, Liu Kai sighed secretly, "Oh, you guys are still too hasty. There is no way out. You choose a desperate situation. Even if King Qin's troops arrive, how will you contact the mountain?"
At this moment, I heard bursts of restlessness on the other side.
Then the guard guarding the canyon hurried over and said, "Your Highness, the other party seems to be trying to cross the canyon."
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and Xiao Jingyun once again led everyone to the edge of the canyon in a hurry.
Looking at a place with slightly gentler terrain on the opposite side of the river, there were flames blazing into the sky, and soldiers were already climbing ropes to the bottom of the canyon.
Seeing this scene, Ma Biao immediately called for his men to rush downstream.
