Xianyang Bridge

Chapter 22

square. "Gou Feng looked at the bones piled up in the weeds below the ridge, and regretted in his heart that if they hadn't underestimated the enemy and neglected Mingjiao, they should have discovered something was wrong long ago, but who would have thought that he would dare to set up such a situation by himself .

Gu Xichao, he still underestimated this person, Gou Feng thoughtfully looked at Qi Shaoshang, "Now that we have arrived in Taniguchi Village, it seems that my companions have also fallen into his trap, what will Daxia Qi do next? "

"Should I wait here to see the result, or go in and help your friend?"

Qi Shaoshang said, "Of course I will help him."

Looking at the deserted village at the foot of the mountain, Gou Feng said, "That is obviously a killing formation. Maybe there is no life gate left. We look like there is no one here. Maybe there is already a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood inside, but the formation is always full of people." After all, there are traces to follow, and there is always a way to crack it. There are more than 3000 people trapped in Tiqi, and I know forty or fifty of them who are proficient in formation. Do you think they have a chance to take Gu Xichao in the formation? find out."

"Even if one of the last 100 people survives, how long do you think Gu Xichao can last?"

Qi Shaoshang didn't know what he was talking about, dragged him down the mountain and said, "Say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush."

Gou Feng staggered behind him, "What I mean is, if you don't know anything about the formation, we'd better not go in and die. We don't care if you help him or not."

"If you really want to help, you should go back and find someone who knows how to break the formation to take you in. He may still wait until you save him, but if you rush into the formation rashly, you won't even have a chance."

"Are you afraid of death?" Qi Shaoshang looked back at him, and Gou Feng said, "Who isn't afraid?"

Qi Shaoshang said, "I'm not afraid, so you can't be afraid either."

"No, I'm still afraid. I don't know how to break the formation. It's useless to take me with you. It's a waste of food. I'm just a burden." Gou Feng desperately saved himself, but Qi Shaoshang turned a deaf ear and dragged him to the entrance of the village to stop down.

When I was on the mountain, I looked down and felt empty and quiet. Only when I got to the front did I realize how strange it was. The road at the entrance of the village was full of footprints left by Tiqi. It disappeared, and I felt a chill in my heart, as if the gatehouse opened its mouth and swallowed so many people without leaving even a single bone.

People watching this situation were horrified, Gou Feng said, "Hero Qi, if you let me go now, I will..."

Before he finished speaking, footsteps came from the path down Lingling Ridge, Qi Shaoshang covered Gou Feng's mouth, and dragged him to hide behind a tree.

Seeing the young man coming down from the mountain, Qi Shaoshang's heart sank, he let go of his hand and said, "Xiao Qi, why are you here?"

Xiao Qi was dressed very strangely, as if he had just returned from hunting, with a compass hanging around his waist, ropes coiled around his shoulders, and seven or eight dead rabbits on his back, he was very excited when he saw Qi Shaoshang. Surprised, "Why is Master Qi here?"

Gou Feng narrowed his eyes looking at the young man's figure, Qi Shaoshang said, "I came chasing after Ti, and Gu Xichao, is he inside?"

Xiao Qi pursed her lips and said, "Young master was inside alone, he knocked me out, and I escaped from the mountain to look for him."

Qi Shaoshang thought that sure enough, he was lying to me again, not only did he deceive Tie Shou, he also deceived everyone and me.It was all false to say that he would leave Mingjiao after his eyes recovered. He had already calculated everything at that time, and he knew a long time ago that every time they met, it might be a farewell, but he didn't say anything.

No...he didn't say anything, he talked a lot, as if there would never be another time, he said that I like talking to the big master the most.

Qi Shaoshang's heart ached again, just like when he met in Shanyang Town, when he said that Breeze had died long ago, enough people had died, you have to live for me.Qi Shaoshang asked Xiao Qi, "Do you know how to get in?"

Holding the rope on his shoulders, Xiaoqi said expressionlessly, "I don't know, the gate of life is not outside, and every way in from the outside is a dead end. I don't know how to get in."

"But I still want to go in, the young master can't see it, he needs me."

"I'll go with you," Qi Shaoshang said, "If you need me to do anything, just say it."

Xiao Qi pursed his lips. He knew Qi Shaoshang from a long time ago, he knew that he was a respected hero, and he also knew that he was the son's enemy. He didn't like Qi Shaoshang, and he didn't like being said that it was because of him His name was kept by the young master.

He has always been very surprised that the young master never regarded Qi Shaoshang as an enemy, even if he almost died at his hands, every time the young master mentioned him, he missed him very much, and even respected him, he didn't understand why.

But now he understands that it is not unreasonable to call Qi Shaoshang a hero in the Jianghu, so knowing that it is a dead end and still willing to fight for a person who was once an enemy, few people in the world can do it.

Xiao Qi said, "The eight squares inside correspond to the eight formation gates. Hugh was injured and Du Jing died startled, and every two formation gates corresponded to a formation. Together, I don't know how it works. There is only one way to try it from one direction to another, to find the weakest place to break through, because the only life gate is in the center of the formation, and the young master is there. "

Qi Shaoshang somewhat understood the purpose of so many rabbits on his back, and said to him, "Okay, tell me, I'll go in and try."

Xiao Qi said, "Let's tie the rabbit with a rope and throw it in for a look, and then you go in."

The two discussed and started looking for directions, Xiao Qi turned the compass to lead the way ahead, Gou Feng saw the whip pinned to his waist, and finally confirmed that this young man was the driver who drove them around in Jiangnan.

He originally wanted to take advantage of Qi Shaoshang's rush to see if there was a chance to escape, but he didn't expect that he would try with the rabbit and then with him in a frenzy.

Gou Feng was tied to the rope and thrown into the battle twice. If Qi Shaoshang hadn't pulled the rope so quickly that he almost died inside and yelled at him when he came out, Qi Shaoshang would turn into a pig's head when he saw him go in and come out after a while , I feel a little more at ease, with such a powerful formation, he should be safe at the gate of life for the time being.

The three of them walked around the edge of the valley to find the place where the formation was broken. Gou Feng cursed all the way and almost cried at the end. After a night passed, Xiao Qi finally confirmed the location when it was almost dawn, and said, "We should go in from the Jingmen Yunchui formation, we should be able to Arrive at the Young Master’s birth gate as soon as possible.”

Qi Shaoshang said that they all listened to you, and the three of them ate some dry food with clear water, leaned against the stone and slept for a while, and then dragged him into the formation regardless of Gou Feng's protest.

……

Gu Xichao knew the first time the Tiqi people stepped into Taniguchi Village, the formation was triggered a day earlier, why did it happen?

He stood up from the futon and came to the gate of the temple with a sword in his hand. Most of the dead men went in the southeast, and most of the Tiqi should also be in that direction. According to the plan, they should get the news on the sixth night, even if it was overnight Going north, including crossing the river and then going to Gaoping, it took three days to find out about Taniguchi Village, but now they arrived in two days.

"Master, are you here?" Gu Xichao said in his heart towards Taniguchi, no matter what he thought, there would be no one else but him, the only variable in all plans, the fatal variable.Why did you come, what did you do here, everything here has nothing to do with you, why did you come to die?

Thinking that Qi Shaoshang might have already entered the battle, he didn't have the time to think about how to deal with the extra day, whether he could wait until the leader and Lu Li came back.His heart was confused, he had already counted everything, but he didn't count Qishao Chamber of Commerce. In the past, he tried every means to kill him and it always failed, but now he didn't want to kill him, but he came by himself. Unpredictable good luck tricks people like this, and people don't know how to face each other.

He knew in his heart that Qi Shaoshang came here to help him. He has been helping him since he was in the capital. He is always so kind and always treats people with enthusiasm. Even though he has done so many wrong things, he still has not given up. He, he said that it is enough to have a confidant in life.

How could Gu Xichao, He De, treat you like this? He raised his face and wet his eyes, and murmured, "Master, where are you?"

For the first time since he was blind he hated being blind so much, if he could see... he could go to him, but he couldn't help it, he couldn't last.

He turned to Eagle, who was preening the feathers on the Skeleton King, and said, "Old Huang!"

Hearing his call, the eagle flapped its wings and landed on his arm. Gu Xi said, "Go and help me find the master, and tell me where he is."

The eagle tilted its head, as if it understood what he said, and flew up into the sky with a clear cry.

The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather was very clear early in the morning. The men who carried the labor on the piers on both sides of the Bian River had already changed into bunt clothes. In the sun, sweat glistened and slipped into the open skirts.

A grain ship with the flag of Hangzhou Caosi was parked at the wharf west of Jinliang Bridge, and the staff of the grain bank on the shore were counting the number. Twenty or thirty strong young men with bare upper body were constantly loading goods on the ship.

The shopkeeper of the grain store was sitting under the shed on the shore and talking to the owner, "I almost didn't come when I arrived at Zhouqiao early in the morning. Today, the envoy of Jin came to Beijing, and the Imperial Street was not allowed to leave before dawn. Everything from Nanxunmen to Xuandelou was closed. Fortunately, you don’t go there, it has nothing to do with us, but Guangyang County King is really careful.”

The captain poured him some tea and asked, "What did you say? Is the envoy of Jin going to Beijing afraid that someone will assassinate him?"

The shopkeeper stretched out his hands to take the tea, and said, "Of course the envoy wouldn't dare, but Prince Tong is afraid," he whispered.
