The winter outside the border is extremely long, waiting day and night, the ice and snow gradually melting, and the dead grass roots in the desert began to reveal a faint light green, indicating the arrival of spring. The sky is getting longer, and both Uncle Mi and Zhao Zhongbao are all happy, indicating that they can set off for Haojing soon. In the past few days, it has been almost the same for a few days to pack up and arrange their entourage.
But Wei Duoyou secretly beat the drum in his heart. Of course, he also missed his old friends in Haojing, especially Zhao Bohu. But will his arrival bring disaster to his friends who value the most? He is really afraid. If that is the case, it would be better to stay in Yan State and forget about the rest of his life.
After thinking about it, he felt confused and hadn't felt like he was irritated. He hadn't ridden a horse for too long, so he decided to go out of the city to ride a horse to relax. Uncle Mi couldn't stop him, and he couldn't get rid of himself, so he had to ask a few followers to follow him in close proximity. Wei Duoyou was a little displeased, thinking that he was a figure like a god of war in the country, but Uncle Mi regarded himself as a little sheep who needed protection. It's true!
After leaving the low gate of Yancheng, Wei Duoyou looked around, but he felt that the sky was high and the earth was far away, and the wasteland was vast. There were no birds and beasts, and no people were seen. The sand dunes in the distance were like waves, continuous and continuous, rising and falling. A gust of wind passed by the ground, rolling up tiny grains of sand, floating like light smoke, flowing in the vast wilderness.
Wei Duoyou ran freely for a while, and he had not ridden a horse for many days. Both his and his mount were so tired that he was sweating all over. He gasped and felt extremely comfortable. He simply got off the horse and sat on the ground, ordered his followers to take the horses to eat grass, and he himself lay on the lawn and admired the infinite scenery outside the frontier.
The sky is clear and clear, without a trace of clouds. Wei Duoyou looked up at the blue sky and felt fascinated. He thought to himself: "If I can transform into a bird, I must fly upwards and see what is in the sky-------"
He thought for a while and gradually became sleepy. The breeze was like water, passing by his face, feeling indescribable comfort. He felt tiredness surged, his eyelids became heavier, and finally closed his eyes and fell asleep.
After sleeping in such a daze, I had a lot of messy dreams. First, I dreamed that my mother said to him with red eyes, "Whose son are you? I don't know." Later, somehow, I dreamed that an army fell from the sky and killed all the entire Weirong tribe. My uncle pointed at him with blood all over his body and said, "It turns out that they were right, you------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Huh? Who pulled his shoulder so hard? Wei Duoyou woke up slowly by being shaken. A magnified face appeared in front of his misty eyes: "General, there is a single rider coming over there, as if coming for us. Look!"
It turned out that it was the sun shadow setting. Wei Duoyou looked around and saw a horse flashing in the setting sun. Because he was far away, he couldn't see the face of the horse. He only felt that his figure was a little petite. Could it be an assassin? It was not like that, how could such an assassin who was so big that he killed someone alone? The man was very young, wearing a green dress and riding a red horse, looking very eye-catching.
Wei Duoyou has excellent archery skills and his eyesight is not comparable to ordinary people. When the single rider was a little closer, he immediately realized: "Don't be so nervous, that's a woman."
It was indeed a woman, and she was an old friend. When the woman ran up the nearest sand dune, Wei Duoyou was shocked and thought to himself: "Isn't this Miss Ye Zi? Why did she come to Yan Country?"
Ye Zi turned over and dismounted and rushed towards Wei Duoyou: "General, Ye Zi has important matters to report, please take his back."
Wei Duoyou waved his hand, and she couldn't wait to speak: "General, but soon he will set off from the grassland and return to Haojing through Jingshui?"
Wei Duoyou is not surprised now. How could she know this route? He asked with a look of surprise and suspicion: "You---------I heard that you have left Liwei, where have you been? Where did you know my whereabouts?"
Ye Zi looked anxious: "General, don't need to inquire about this anymore. The king of the Lone Bamboo, Tedor, has always held a grudge against you. He has set up many ambushes at the Yinshan Pass and wants to take this opportunity to kill you."
"Ah?" Although Wei Duoyou was surprised, he thought about it carefully and found that there were many loopholes in his words: "How did he know my whereabouts? And, where did you know such a confidential matter?"
Ye Zi calmed down at this time and slowly talked about the whole story:
"General, at that time, I never forgot my brother's death. Ye Ji died at the hands of the Guzhu King Tedor. He is my only relative. I must avenge this hatred. After you left the desert oasis, I bid farewell to Princess Liwei and went to Guzhu Kingdom to look for opportunities. Coincidentally, the new king ascended the throne and the palace maids who needed to serve in the harem, so I found an opportunity to get in.
Some time ago, Tedoor seemed to have found out some news, and he was mysteriously arranged something every day. Three days ago, he suddenly decided to leave Guzhu Kingdom and hunt in the northeast, so I was worried. Fortunately, he was a spoiled person and he was indispensable to serve people everywhere, so I came out with him. He set up an ambush at the Yinshan Pass, arranged countless crossbowmen, and was determined to shoot the general to death ten thousand arrows.
General, I will send this news to you all my life. You must not take this road. This Yinshan Pass is the only way to go west!"
Wei Duoyou grabbed a critical joint and asked, "Do you know how he knew that I was going to Haojing, and how did he know that I was going to take the North Line?" 1
"I can't explain this." Ye Zi frowned with long willow eyebrows: "The Rongdi countries, in Yancheng, Chaoge has some intentions and ears, but I think it's not clear if it's a little detailed."
"So, will they notice it when you come here?"
Ye Zi didn't understand his intention and replied, "I'm not on duty today. If I rushed back before dark, no one would notice it."
"Okay." Wei Duoyou suddenly stood up with a firm expression: "You will take me to the Yinshan Pass now, and take action first. Kill Tiedor, how about avenge Ye Ji?"
Ye Zi was so shocked that he widened his eyes: "General, are there just a few people? You should call more people from Yancheng!"
"No, that will leak the news. It's just killing people, not siege cities and territories. What do you want many people to do? I've had enough of the days when I was hunted. Soldiers are very fast, so let's go whenever we say it!"
The sky was like ink, and under the illumination of the stars, a group of people and horses galloped from afar on the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain. They all held a group of horseshoes and hugged their hooves, and marched quietly in the night.
"It's almost here, there are two tents in front of you, living in a secret whistle pretending to be a passing business trip. We have to spare us and not disturb them." Ye Zi whispered.
Wei Duoyou turned his face and waved his hand to make a gesture. His light amber eyes were like the eyes of a night cat under the starlight, sharp and agile. The followers bent down one after another, and only used their legs to urge them to move forward. Wild horses often appear here, and even if someone notices the shadows of the horses shaking in the grass from afar, he will not care.
The Yinshan Pass is the only way to enter the nomadic territory from the Zhou Dynasty's sphere of influence. There is only a few feet wide pass between the two mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Guzhu Tiedouer also tried his best to find such a place to ambush himself. Wei Duoyou looked at the pass in the night, and the mouth of a beast like a black hole knocked down a front teeth, and he couldn't help but think.
After walking for another half an hour, Ye Zi turned his head and said to him, "Here. The crossbowmen are all arranged on the south side of the two mountains, from the foot of the mountain to the back of the mountain. There are only no defenses on the north side of the mountain, so we can touch it."
"Hey------" Wei Duoyou called her: "Don't follow us up. Find a place to hide first. When we finish our business, we will come to find you."
"How can that work?" Ye Zi asked sternly, then realized that his voice was getting higher and immediately lowered his voice: "If you don't know the way, I have to go up with you."
"Didn't you say there is no defense in the north? Just keep going up, what other way do you need to know?" Wei Duoyou paused, looked at Ye Zi's frustrated face, and calmed down and persuaded: "You are not good at martial arts, we don't have enough manpower, so we can't tell us to protect you."
"Then-----General, please be careful!" Although he was unwilling to give up, Ye Zi still followed his advice.
Ye Zi's information was very accurate. Wei Duoyou and his group of dozens of people walked up the dense forest on the north slope, but encountered no ambush. They walked to the top of the mountain and looked down. They saw that there were more than a dozen tents scattered in the dense forest on the south slope. The rest of the tents were only enough to accommodate a few people, covering only a few square meters of land. Only the largest one seemed to be able to live in the next household. According to Ye Zi, that was the residence of Tedoer.
Wei Duoyou thought for a moment and then had an idea. He turned around and said to his followers, "You are scattered everywhere below to hide. Just hear my whistle and start setting fire to the forest. Have you brought the fire?
"Take it. But General, you can't kill the Guzhu King alone, you must divide two people to protect you." The followers insisted, and Wei Duoyou had no choice but to leave the two by his side.
The three of them tiptoed to the near the big tent, but saw a little light and a low voice coming from inside. Wei Duoyou was a little surprised. Why is it so late? This Tador is not sleeping yet, who are you talking to?
He made a gesture, and the two followers understood, took out daggers from their sleeves, and took advantage of the night to touch the two guards at the door of the tent. With two "clicks", the two followers were silently cut off their throats. The two followers dragged the bodies behind and stood in the position where the guards were standing just now. Anyway, the storm was dark and windy, and the camp was quiet. I thought they were all asleep, but no one could notice it.
Only then did Wei Duoyou feel at ease to approach the tent window, and prick up his ears and listen carefully.1
