A month passed quickly in boredom and bumps. As Yu Wen Haoxuan said, the people who were following them restrained themselves a lot, and there was not even a trace of movement at all.
But silence often heralds the coming of a bigger storm. Yuwen Haoxuan and Liu Maolin, who often walk outside, understand this truth, so the long period of calm did not make them relax, but instead made them more cautious.
During this month of leisurely traveling around the mountains and rivers, Xi Qian and Xue Chun had long forgotten that there was always danger following behind them. They had to come up with new tricks to pass the time every day, and bought new things they saw along the way.
I came back to enjoy it for a while. After a month, the carriage was so full of things that there was almost no room for people.
But Yuwen Haoxuan still indulged them, and he didn't stop until they themselves felt that it was a bit too much.
I have been walking on the open plains for several days, and I have an unobstructed view of everything around me. Although it is relatively safer, it is full of mud and yellow sand every day, and no one can stand it for a long time.
Just when everyone was exhausted physically and mentally, a faint green appeared in front of them. Everyone was shocked and quickly approached the green. Only when they got closer could they see clearly that it was a continuous mountain range. Liu Maolin took out the map and compared it for a while, and said
, "We have arrived at Tianheng Mountain. We can reach Yangcheng in one day."
"Is Yangcheng the border?" Hearing their conversation, Xi Qian also stuck her head out of the car.
"Yangcheng is the city closest to the border, but it is still some distance away from where the army is actually stationed. Let's rest in the city first, and then go to the real border fortress."
Yu Wen Hao
After jumping for a moment, Xiqian quickly got back into the car and knocked over all the piles of items in a panic.
"It took me a whole day to sort this out!" Looking at the mess in the carriage, Xuechun looked at her with a bitter face.
Xi Qian laughed along with her and hurriedly comforted her, "Leave it all to me without your intervention. Just watch from the side."
Xuechun looked at the things scattered on the ground with a skeptical attitude, and indeed he was obedient and put them aside.
Xijie had a headache and didn't know where to start, but she had already boasted about Haikou, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet. She had been served by others since she was a child, and she had always watched others work, so she didn't think it was too difficult.
But when you really start to do it, you realize how difficult it is.
She also followed Xuechun's example of stacking everything up and putting it away, but it would collapse due to the bumps of the carriage. After trying it several times, she completely lost her patience.
"The road is so bumpy, let's wait until we park for a rest." Xi Xuan pushed the fallen things aside, pretending to be calm and composed.
Xuechun said without mercy, "But the carriage still has to go after it is stacked. Will it fall over if it is not bumped?"
"You girl, if you don't speak, no one will think you are mute." After Xi Qian said this, she stretched out her hand to Xuechun's armpit.
There was a sharp clang, followed by countless similar voices roaring towards them.
Xiqian was about to lift the car curtain to see what was going on, but she bumped into Yuwen Haoxuan and Liu Maolin who flew into the car. Before she could say anything, they quickly pulled down the side windows and the curtains above the car curtain.
Dark board, at the same time, there seemed to be countless arrow feathers nailed to the car body, and the sound of horses neighing and falling to the ground was heard outside the car.
The sudden turn of events made the unprepared Xi Qian pale with fright. Xuechun was even speechless. After forcing himself to calm down, Xi Qian asked, "Did we encounter an ambush?"
At such a tense moment, Yuwen Haoxuan didn't have much worry on his face, and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, our carriage is specially made by the military and can handle both arrow attacks and fire attacks."
Seeing the confidence in his words, Xiqian felt relieved at the moment. After relaxing, she realized that because the car was filled with things she bought, the space for people was very limited, and she almost sat in Yuwen Haoxuan's arms.
Inside, your breath is filled with his cool breath.
Xi Qian moved outward unnaturally, trying to get out of this embarrassing situation, but Yu Wen Haoxuan's arm tightly hugged her body directly against his chest. The posture looked like he wanted to protect her.
She, but Yu Wen Haoxuan's palm slipped into her lapel intentionally or unintentionally.
Xiqian rolled her eyes at him. She really didn't know whether to be annoyed with him or admire him for not forgetting to eat her tofu in such a desperate situation.
Just as everyone was holding their breath and listening to what was going on outside, there was suddenly a deafening loud noise, and the car body was launched into the air and rolled violently for several weeks. It landed with a 'boom', shaking everyone inside the car to pieces.
After the car landed and stopped, Liu Maolin quickly stood up to check whether there was any damage to the car. He saw a huge arrow tip pierced an inch into the car.
"City-breaking crossbow?!" Yuwen Haoxuan and Liu Maolin shouted in unison.
The city-breaking crossbow is a large mechanical weapon used by the army to attack a city. It is used to destroy city walls and gates, and its power can weigh tens of thousands of kilograms.
Both of them had been marching and fighting, so they naturally knew about this kind of weapon. Even if Xi Qian had never seen it, she had heard of it. The expressions of several people suddenly changed. Only Xuechun still looked confused.
"How is that possible?" Liu Maolin looked at the huge arrow tip with a look of disbelief.
Yuwen Haoxuan sneered, "It seems they really can't hold their breath anymore."
‘Boom’, the sound of the city-breaking crossbow was fired again, but this time it seemed to have missed the target, and only a slight shock was felt in the car.
"This won't work. No matter how strong the carriage is, it can't withstand the crossbow attack of the broken city. We have to find a way to break out." Liu Maolin pulled out the long sword in his hand and opened the window to a narrow gap. "I'll find a way to get close to the broken city."
Nu, you guys wait for me in the car."
"No!" Yu Wen Haoxuan held back Liu Maolin who was about to go into danger alone. "You are too focused on your goals alone. In a moment, you and I will approach the city-breaking crossbow from both sides." After saying that, he turned to Xi Qian and said, "You can wait until we get out.
Pull down the dark panel immediately, and don't come out until you hear our signal."
As he spoke, the frequency of the sound of arrows on the mountain seemed to decrease. Listening carefully, there seemed to be sounds of fighting. Yuwen Haoxuan opened the side window and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "It's Zizhao!"
I saw a moon-white figure dancing up and down on the mountain opposite, and there was wailing wherever it went.
Yu Wen Haoxuan and Liu Maolin took advantage of the weakening of the arrows and rushed out of the carriage. While avoiding the arrow feathers, they approached Tianheng Mountain in a roundabout way. After a while, they entered the enemy's camp. In the close fight, bows, arrows and city-breaking crossbows
It was no longer effective, and before long, most of the enemies had fallen under the swords of the three men.
The surroundings gradually became quiet, and there was no sound in Tianheng Mountain. Xi Qian slowly opened the dark panel of the car door, and after looking for a long time, there was no signal from Yuwen Haoxuan. She was so anxious that she didn't care much, jumped out of the carriage and ran towards Tianheng Mountain.
, Xuechun couldn't stop her and had no choice but to follow her and run up the mountain.
