Postscript (Part 1)(1/4)
In April, the peaches and plums compete with each other, and there is no cold night in the wild suburbs.
In such a beautiful season, seven or eight people rode their horses, waded through the gurgling river, and rushed to the opposite hillside.
These people were covered in wounds and looked tired. Even the horses were whispering white steam, which was obviously at the end of their strength. One of the knights had lost his entire left arm and blood flowed to the horse's thighs, but he had no time to bandage them.
The leader shouted: "Hurry, hurry, it will be safe to climb up the hill!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the knight on the left side fell out and fell out with his man and horse.
The leader hurriedly stopped and jumped down to see that the knight's head was hitting the big rock, which was already deflated, but the girl he was holding in his arms was fine, but his face turned pale.
"Hurry up, get on the horse!" The leader carried her on his horse's back and continued to move forward.
"Sir, the pursuers are here!" The subordinates reported urgently. Everyone looked back and saw nearly a hundred cavalry appearing on the horizon and approaching the river quickly.
The opponent is fierce and powerful, and his own people are exhausted. He will definitely be caught up in less than half a quarter of an hour.
Unexpectedly, the leader issued an incredible order at this time: "Disconnect the weapons and throw them away!"
The subordinates hesitated: "Sir, this?"
If you are caught up, wouldn’t you be dead without a hand?
"Quick!" The leader was the example and untied all the swords around his waist and the arrows behind him, throwing them to the ground.
The subordinates did not dare to neglect and followed suit.
He lost a lot of weight by throwing away his weapons, and the horse ran faster and reached the bottom of the slope in a blink of an eye.
The hillside is a bit steep, the pine forest is dense, and the grass is long and waist-length, so you can no longer ride a horse.
Everyone dismounted and changed to walking and climbing the hill.
The leader shouted: "Don't throw away all the weapons, just be obedient if you don't want to die!"
Is it reliable? After hesitating, everyone finally got the upper hand in obedience. They pulled out the dagger from the boot and threw it away.
I hope the legend is right, and I hope I did nothing wrong.
"Let me down!" The girl wanted to struggle to get off the ground, "I'll go by myself."
"Miss, it's safe to climb up the hill!" At a critical moment, how dare the leader let her land?
The girl asked him: "There are people at the bottom of the slope, aren't they afraid?"
There are indeed two farmers at the bottom of the slope who are bent down to pick up firewood. In addition to the falling pine branches that can burn fire, pine resin is very useful, and several kinds of mushrooms that are parasitic in the white-shaped pine forest are still a rare and delicious food.
Several people abandoned their horses and went up the slope. Of course the farmer noticed it, but they only glanced at it and were not panicked.
The leader shook his head.
The girl looked at the bottom of the slope again and said, there was nothing. What should I do to stop the pursuers?
"Those people really won't chase after you?"
"No, this is already Qingyun's realm!" In fact, the leader was also joking in his heart, "But the person who came was Bian Bai. This fight was like a numb and arrogant. It would be better to let him taste the pain."
After more than ten breaths, the pursuers also rushed to the bottom of the slope.
The young general in the green robe was only in his early twenties, and was extremely heroic, with cold light shining in his eyes.
His mount is not a horse, but a huge black wolf, not limited by the terrain.
The farmer who bent down to pick up the pine tower was three feet away from it. As soon as he looked up, he saw the giant wolf staring at him and sticking out his tongue, drooling.
Judging from the eyes of this wolf, it has long tasted the taste of human flesh.
However, the Black Wolf was about to go up the hill, but suddenly he was frightened and jumped away several feet back, lowered his head and sniffed it in the grass.
The guard behind the young general in the green robe shouted: "General, boundary marker!"
It was already Xu hour (7 pm), but the sky was still bright. Everyone clearly saw a square stone tablet standing in front of the slope, with four gold-painted characters "Qingyun Earth Realm" written on it, with a dragon and a snake pen, and a magnificent momentum.
"Hmph, they fled into the Qingyun Realm!" The young general looked around and found the weapon abandoned in the grass.
In order to escape, the rebels threw down their weapons.
As soon as he looked up, he saw the target on the top of the slope. These people had escaped from the range of archery and stopped at this time, gasping for a while to observe the situation here.
The two sides are less than one hundred feet apart.
Chase?
Don't chase?
The young general looked at the boundary marker for a few more eyes, and his face was unstable.
The boundary marker stands alone here, and there are no military guards nearby.
The elderly soldier behind him hurriedly approached: "General, you must not trespass the Qingyun land, and the king will not blame you even if you know about it. You..."
Just at this moment, the girl on the hillside made faces at the young general, and made five in a row, clasping her hands in a loud voice: "Crazy-little-ghost!"
The sound echoed up and down the slope.
The leader quickly pulled her hands away.
But the young general had already seen and heard it, his eyes were filled with murderous aura and he shouted: "Go uphill, kill!"
The left and right were shocked, and they did not advance but retreated.
This time behind him, several guards stopped him together: "General, never!"
The young general was furious and drew his sword and said, "Who said no, I'll kill his head!"
When the two farmers who picked up pine nuts at the bottom of the slope saw this, they shook their heads, turned around and left, one of them said to the other: "Another team of reckless men!"
"When you face a stone tablet, you are timid, but do you still remember that you are the elite of Dayue?" The young general turned over and rode a wolf, drove it and jumped behind the boundary marker.
As soon as the wolf claws crossed the line, they heard a "rumping" sound, and the stone tablet suddenly arched, revealing the veins carrying the tablet below.
This is a stone carving monster. The armor is two circles larger than a round table. It was originally buried underground, and someone crossed the line and would lead it out.
As soon as it showed up, its mouth opened and pointed at the young general. The latter turned around when he heard the sound, and the black wolf under his seat stood still.
"Don't move, don't move!" The farmer not far away spoke, "The Qingyun land is forbidden to fight, and you must either retreat along the same path or throw down all your weapons, and you can still save your life."
The young general couldn't help laughing: "What can a stone turtle do to me!"
"Are you even more powerful than King Ancheng of the Kingdom of Xia and Bai Houjing of Lingshan?" The farmer laughed, "Sixty years ago, twenty years ago, they died here, at your feet, so you can try it too?"
The young general pursed his lips, his eyes hesitant.
There are many legends like this in the Qingyun Realm.
Believe it, or don't believe it?
Chase, or not?
The old man at home and the seniors in the army have repeatedly said that they should not trespass in Qingyun's realm. Since he was a child, his ears would almost grow calluses.
Unexpectedly, I would face a dilemma one day.
The subordinates were also trying hard to persuade. Is it just a stone tablet itself that really scares these elites on the battlefield?
Of course not.
At this time, his confidant threw away his long sword and ran over: "General, if you lose the trouble of chasing talents, you can try your best to do the rest." After that, he whispered a plan.
General Bian breathed out, feeling a little frustrated: "Okay, that's it. Remove the armor!"
Nearly a hundred people here also quickly unloaded their weapons, leaving only one person to guard them, and the rest followed General Bian to go uphill.
He can be unscrupulous in the country, but here... no one dares to blatantly break the rules, not just him.
A few "kicks" sounds, and the stone wool on the monument sank back to the ground, which was a response to their bare hands.
The girl on the slope was shocked: "They are chasing me!"
"Let's go." The leader asked everyone to turn around and continue moving forward. "Throwing away the weapons means they intend to abide by the rules of the Qingyun Realm and dare not kill anyone openly."
General Bian and others followed them with their eyes drifting, but they did not rush forward to attack.
After climbing over the hillside, the girl with a lot of worries couldn't help but say "Wow".
The endless fields in front of you are all made of paddy fields, with trunk roads and houses dotted among them. The civilians traveled in a wide range of people, and the clear land of fish and rice was clear, so where is the suburb?
"It's so lively!"
She couldn't help looking back at her homeland, but it was just a world away, and it was completely different from two lifetimes.
General Bian, not far away, looked even worse. There were people everywhere, so how could he have time to start?
The fugitives and pursuers were less than ten feet apart one by one. It was so funny that the world could not be affected by the wells!
The guard behind him fell and whispered: "This is Qingyun Realm!"
"I don't think it's so great, it's not as outrageous as the legend says!"
"I just entered the earth, wherever I went..."
Walk along the main road, less than three miles away, the town is in sight.
"I'm here to leave the Yuan Town." The leader's face relaxed a little, "I'll go find the pavilion chief, the biggest official in this town. You can wait for me in the restaurant in front, and no one is allowed to run around."
To be continued...
