Chapter 154: Accidental Risk
If the horse herd is wise, when they swallow beans without hesitation, they should guess that there will be no good things in the future. When they see the humans ahead move away, they should be nervous or even scared.
But they didn't know anything, just pretending that this was an ordinary "night grass", and stood in a row honestly. They were war horses, so they still understood this rule.
More than thirty people stood behind the horses and had their swords in their hands revealed.
"Okay!" Du Chuanyun's voice came, and the Chu army in front of him had already been given to both sides.
Han Ruzi wanted to slap the horse with a blade. After raising the knife, he realized that if he did not let the horses "crazy", he would waste his plan to retreat to the enemy in vain.
The other soldiers did not have such hesitation at all, and dozens of knives fell down, stabbed or slashed.
A horse is frightened, which usually makes the whole group of horses panic, not to mention that dozens of horses are suffering almost at the same time. A loud neighing sounded, and the horses shook their hooves and ran down the mountain. Before running, they made a little revenge. Several Chu soldiers were kicked away by the horse's hooves, blamed themselves for standing behind the horse, and forgot how much anger they would cause if they had a knife.
Han Ruzi avoided, looked at the galloping herd of horses, and silently urged in her heart, hoping that they would run faster and wilder.
There was only one road down the mountain, and the horses collided with the Huns' shield array. This was the real "people were on the back and overturned", and the screams of the people and the neighing of the horses mixed together.
The morale of the Chu army was boosted.
Du Chuanyun cheered, Fang Daye grabbed him and asked with a breath: "Are you here to protect General Zhenbei?"
"Of course." If someone dares to grab his arm like this, Du Chuanyun will immediately turn against him, but Fang Daye is different. Du Chuanyun simply admires this veteran and is very happy that he has to get the task.
"Take the general up the mountain to see if there is any road left."
"Ah, isn't this just running away?"
Fang Daye said coldly: "Why, don't you want to escape? Then go down the mountain and open a bloody road. We follow you, and after breaking through, kowtow to you, and offer you as if you were to the Buddha."
Du Chuanyun smiled embarrassedly, "I didn't say I didn't agree."
Fang Daye let go of his hand, "Don't take too many people away."
"Yes." Du Chuanyun turned around and was about to leave, but Fang Daye said again: "Leave the flag."
"Oh." Du Chuanyun had never been so obedient. He had to refute a few words with his grandfather, but he obeyed Fang Daye.
Han Ruzi and a group of soldiers were walking down, hoping to see the situation at the foot of the mountain more clearly.
The shield formation was broken, the horses had already run away, and the neighing sound came occasionally, leaving behind a group of casualties at the foot of the mountain. This time no one took them away, and all those who could run ran away, and they couldn't take care of themselves and could not help their companions.
The situation below was not clear on the mountain, and the people at the foot of the mountain were even more confused. For a long time, the Huns did not attack and did not recover the casualties.
Du Chuanyun ran to Juehou and said, "Let's go."
"Where to go?" Han Ruzi was stunned.
"Go up the mountain and take a look, maybe there are other roads."
Han Ruzi looked back and saw that during the day, he had observed that the top of the mountain was full of stones, extending eastward and steep to the west, surrounded by the Huns, "Where did the road come from?"
"Maybe, how can you know if you don't look at it?"
Han Ruzi called the school and ordered him to rectify the soldiers and obey Fang Daye's command. He brought about a dozen people up the mountain to check.
The top of the mountain was not far away, and the steeper it was going up. The last section of the road was hard to walk, and the danger was not clear in the darkness. The soldiers advised the Hou not to go up any longer. Only Du Chuanyun relied on his light skills and said, "You stay here, I'll go up and take a look."
Without waiting for Han Ruzi's approval, Du Chuanyun used his hands and feet to climb upwards, and disappeared in a short while.
A shout came from the bottom of the mountain, and the top of the mountain could not be heard clearly. A soldier was signaled by Juehou and shouted loudly to the side of the mountain: "How is it? The Huns are attacking again?"
"The Huns have persuaded them to surrender again!" The man on the hillside replied, "Wait until we shoot him a few arrows!"
The dark night became the protection of the Chu army, and the Huns obviously couldn't figure out the situation on the mountain. When it was dawn and they found that the Chu army had not received assistance, they would definitely launch another attack.
Han Ruzi and others climbed high, but they didn't see further. They only felt the mountain wind was strong. He looked to the top of the mountain, hoping that Du Chuanyun could really find a way to escape.
Du Chuanyun spoke on it, "I'm climbing up! Hei Gu Longdong can't see clearly, it seems... Hey, there is a wild beast behind the mountain, not a wild beast, but a Hun, wait for me..."
The faint sound of weapons colliding quickly disappeared without any sound.
Han Ruzi was shocked. He could not have imagined that the Huns would have climbed up from the back of the mountain. If they hadn't come to check, they would have been in a situation of being attacked from both sides. He estimated that the number of people would not be too small. Du Chuanyun would definitely not be able to fight one against one. He wanted to go up and help, but he did not have the ability to climb.
"Du Chuanyun!" Han Ruzi shouted.
"He is behind the mountain, and the voice cannot be heard." A soldier reminded.
"Who else can climb up? Help him." Han Ruzi looked at several soldiers from his army. There were not many people in the martial arts world who were in the capital. These three were part of them and his guards.
If anyone else can climb to the top of the mountain, it will be them.
The three of them looked at each other and looked up. One of them said, "Let's try." He put away his waist and lay on the rock like a gecko, climbing up slowly. His light skills were obviously much worse than Du Chuanyun, but he gradually rose and did not fall.
"Be careful of the stones, come here, Hou Jue." said another guard from the Jianghu people.
Han Ruzi asked to go aside, but although she couldn't see anything, she still looked up.
The third guard of the Jianghu people whispered to several other soldiers and advised them to go to the mountain to help Fang Daye. The place here is narrow and cannot accommodate so many people.
After a while, Han Ruzi found that there were only two guards left by his side, and both of them were holding swords.
The voice of the first man from the rivers and lakes came from the top of the mountain, "No one seems to have fallen. If the Huns can climb up, we should be able to climb down too, because we are afraid that there will be Huns guarding the mountain."
"I understand!" The two people from the martial arts world said in unison, then faced Jue Hou and bowed with their fists, but the knife in their hands did not be put away.
Han Ruzi looked at them and wanted to pretend to be confused, but felt it was unnecessary, so she asked: "For money, for fame, for wealth?"
The two people from the world did not answer.
"The 'Kingluo God' Wang Lingshang, the 'Feng Dao' Gu Juren, the one above is... the 'Old Ape' Song Shaokun." Han Ruzi called out the nicknames and names of the three.
"Junhou is good at remembering." Wang Lingshang rushed down the tip of his sword, and Gu Juren stood behind Juunhou.
"You joined the Rebel Army in Beijing. Of course I remember, well, if I guess, are you doing things for the Chai family?"
Wang Lingshang smiled slightly, "Jianhou not only has a good memory, but also a smart person."
Gu Juren behind Han Ruzi whispered: "Why do you say this? Take action."
Han Ruzi felt nervous. He was far from a match for these two people. Even if he called, the soldiers on the mountainside would not have time to save them.
He was in the most unexpected danger at the moment.
Wang Lingshang shook his head, "We are not bad at treating us, we should make it clear to him. And when the Huns attack again, we can take advantage of the chaos to take action."
Gu Juren snorted softly and said nothing.
Wang Lingshang looked down at the mountain and saw that the Huns showed no sign of attack for the time being.
"That's right, we were invited by the Chai family. As for who the person who paid the money, it's better not to say it."
Han Ruzi's heart was tighter and she could barely maintain her apparent calmness. "You have been waiting for a long time."
"There is no way. Juehou has a special status. If he dies in the army, we cannot escape, and the Chai family cannot escape. We wanted to wait until the war with the Huns started, but we didn't expect that the opportunity would come as soon as possible: Juehou did not die in our hands, but died in the swords of the Huns."
"If you kill me, you still can't escape."
"Hey, try it. Anyway, staying here is waiting for death. We only carry the head of the lord, and the chance of escaping will be greater. Later, we will turn down from the back mountain. Without the Huns, that is a lucky person. With the Huns guarding us, we will hand over our heads and surrender and find an opportunity to escape."
"How much does the Chai family pay?" Han Ruzi leaned against the rocks and held the hilt of the knife, not knowing if he had the chance to draw the knife out of the sheath.
"This is not just a matter of money. We owe favors to others and have to pay them back. To be honest, the people of Juehou are good, but in terms of friendship, we are still a little short of it. There is no way, so we have to let you down."
Gu Juren interrupted and said, "We are just taking the lead over the Huns. Take your head and go back and pay the job."
Song Shaokun's voice came from the top of the mountain again, "What are you waiting for? Come up quickly."
"No hurry." Wang Lingshang replied, "The Huns at the foot of the mountain seem to be attacking again."
A few pieces of gravel fell on the top of the mountain, and Wang Lingshang shouted: "Be careful!"
Several people looked down the mountain and saw a large number of people moving.
"It's also because I have no eyes, so I actually made you all my guards." Han Ruzi sighed.
"Mr. Juehou does not need to blame himself. There are not many people in the group who know martial arts skills. When we show our skills, Du Chuanyun recommended him as a guard. If we say that he has no eyes, he is also Du Chuanyun. He trusts heroes in the world."
"Du Chuanyun." Han Ruzi would never put the blame on others.
A soldier of the army climbed up the mountain. He was a fisherman and not a man from the martial arts world. He said, "General Fang asked me to ask if there is any chance on the mountain. If it doesn't work..."
Wang Lingshang smiled and went up to him, "If you have a chance, listen to me..."
The soldier was not prepared for him. When he was shocked, his throat had been cut. Wang Lingshang hugged him and let the blood spray on him. He looked at the mountainside, as if no one was paying attention. He said to him behind him: "Get ready to do it, don't wait for the Huns..."
Han Ruzi did not draw his sword, so it was too late. Instead, he used all his strength and punched hard.
Gu Juren was prepared, but reached out and grabbed Juehou's wrist, raised the knife with his other hand, and said coldly: "I can't see that Juehou really has some strength. Keep your mouth tight and I'll give you something to enjoy."
Han Ruzi couldn't imagine that she would die here.
Gu Juren even unexpectedly.
A sword stabbed down from above, silently until it pierced into Gu Juren's head, and suddenly accelerated.
Gu Juren's mouth was closed very tightly and still maintained his original posture. Han Ruzi looked up in surprise, and Du Chuanyun, who was hanging upside down on the rock, made a swearing gesture to him. (To be continued.)
