Chapter 713 Decoy
Cui Yong said that he is fearless, but in fact he is really not a reckless man.

He first finished speaking in Tan Yaoyu's tone, and then asked again: "It's just that, Old Cui, I always feel that this matter is full of strangeness."

Cui Yong saw that Tan Yaoyu pursed his lips and did not answer, so he said to himself: "If the Zoroastrian Cult intends to harm my niece, there is no reason to go as far as Huoshen Mountain... I am not even sure whether you will come, just I have already led people there first. Does this tell you clearly that they have set up traps there for you to step on?"

Tan Yaoyu frowned, "They are either trying to test the truth, or they have other arrangements elsewhere, and they want to use Tuyuhun to hold me back."

Cui Yong thumped in his heart, "Could it be that in the Southern Song Dynasty, King Pengcheng is going to attack the emperor?!"

"It's not impossible," Tan Yaoyu sneered, "If I were the King of Pengcheng, I'd have done it long ago. Without my father's protection, Liu Yilong only relied on the little secret guards and forbidden troops that Yingfeng left for him." , Do you still expect to be able to compete with King Pengcheng? If the Liu family were not greedy for fame, King Pengcheng would not have waited until now for a Zen edict."

Cui Yong wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth, babbled twice and then closed it.Cui Yong was a soldier brought out by Tan Daoji, and his loyalty to the court was no less than that of Tan Daoji.

Although Liu Yilong once sent Duan Hong to seize Hulu's military power and almost killed him in a sea of ​​fire, but as a Hulu veteran, he hoped that the government would be stable and the people would live in peace.

It's just that he has been with Tan Yaoyu for the past few years, and he also knows Tan Yaoyu's dislike for the Liu family. Now even Tan Daoji has been framed and has no choice but to leave Beijing. Cui Yong really can't think of any reason for the Tan family To save the emperor.

In fact, Cui Yong didn't need to speak, Tan Yaoyu knew what he was thinking just by watching his movements.

Not only him, even her father Tan Daoji and her two older brothers, they actually wanted to save Liu Yilong by themselves.

And Tan Yaoyu has never said that he can't save people.Because whether it is for Qiu Chi or Xingzhelou, letting King Pengcheng ascend the throne will do a lot of harm and no benefit.A side concubine of Zoroastrianism is enough to disturb the north and south forever.

Now Tan Yaoyu thinks more about how to save Qiu Chi in a better way.

Zhao Yu was afraid that Cui Yong would worry too much, so he deliberately changed the topic and said, "We will arrive at Vulcan Mountain in a while, so don't rush up the mountain. Since we know that the enemy has set up a plan on the mountain, then we will just wait patiently at the foot of the mountain."

"Siege and not attack?" Cui Yong turned his head and glanced at the cavalry behind him, "I'm afraid it's not enough to encircle the mountain."

"Which mountain?" Tan Zhaoyu pointed around with a horsewhip, "This place is so close to the king's city, it's so barren, and there's not even a few grass. There's miasma on the top of the mountain, and they dare to stay on the mountainside at most. People want to eat horses." If they want to drink, they will have to go down the mountain in a short time. Since the purpose of this group of people is me, I will wait here."

Cui Yong laughed, "Use yourself as bait! I understand this trick, and the generals often use this trick!"

Tan Yaoyu felt a little anxious at this time, always feeling that she had miscalculated something.Although she was still unwilling to admit it, since she lost her internal strength, her confidence was obviously not as strong as before.

"Let's see the trick..." Tan Yaoyu murmured softly.

The group walked northward for two days before arriving at the foot of Vulcan Mountain.

Sure enough, as Tan Yaoyu said, there is no one living anywhere, not even a living thing.The closer you get to Huoshen Mountain, the stronger the smell of miasma on the top of the mountain.

It is said that the miasma at the foot of the mountain is thin, and although it can be smelled, it is not fatal.But Tan Yaoyu has stumbled too many times on poison, so he didn't dare to overestimate himself at this time, so he honestly covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and carefully observed the terrain.

The scouts explored the way ahead, and returned after a while, "Report to Immortal Fairy, we found footprints ahead, less than ten people."

It seems that, as King Tuyuhun said, Zoroastrians went to Vulcan Mountain in advance.

Tan Yaoyu winked at Cui Yong, and Cui Yong immediately understood, and gestured to the cavalry, and a group of troops scattered in an orderly manner.

Tan Yaoyu led only a dozen riders and a few walkers, and continued to ride towards the foot of the mountain for another half a quarter of an hour. Then he dismounted as if he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and found a fairly flat place to sit down and rest directly. .

Just now they came out of Wangcheng in a hurry, and the rations that Qiu Chi and his team brought with them could only last another seven or eight days, so it was obviously not suitable to stick to it.

So Tan invited Yu to approach with a small number of people on purpose, and the rest spread out to ambush around, hoping to lure the enemy down the mountain early.

But I don't know if the Fire Worshipers have also seen this, or they are not on this mountain at all.Tan Yaoyu guarded for three days, but he didn't even see the shadow of Zoroastrianism.

Tan Yaoyu coughed a few times, looked at the top of the mountain suspiciously, wondering if she was sensitive, always felt that the miasma smell at the foot of the mountain was getting heavier, and from time to time, gray smoke could be seen floating from the direction of the top of the mountain.

Yao Yu's doubts were quickly confirmed. Cui Yong, who had been ambushing in the dark, showed up and said to Yao Yu: "My niece, the situation seems to be wrong. Yesterday I felt that the miasma seemed to be getting worse, so I sent a A scout ran away to see if there was any change on the top of the mountain, but the scout said that there was a pillar of black smoke on the top of the mountain."

Tan Yaoyu stood up slowly, "It doesn't seem to be my illusion, it is indeed that the miasma has become heavier. Could it be that this Vulcan Mountain is about to spit fire?"

Cui Yong said solemnly: "I heard that this Vulcan Mountain spits out fire every year. Where the fire passes, even stones can be melted into muddy water. If this is true, it will be very dangerous for us to stay here."

The enemy is not scary, as long as it is flesh and blood, it can be killed by a sharp sword.But the wrath of the mountain god is beyond human power.

Tan Yaoyu looked at his feet, the black rock with texture was silently telling the power of Vulcan Mountain.

She looked at the top of the mountain again, and quickly made a decision: "First withdraw to the position outside the black mountain rock."

Cui Yong nodded, and immediately whistled loudly, but only the dozens of people he led gathered over.There was no response at all around, and it was even surprisingly quiet...

Cui Yong immediately became alert, drew his knife to block Tan Yaoyu's body, and whistled into the sky again.

Except that the dust falling from the sky is getting thicker and thicker, nothing has changed around.

"Oops...we've been tricked."

Tan Yaoyu also realized it, and immediately got on his horse and said to the people behind him: "Get ready to break through!"

Cui Yong gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Old Cui, I actually underestimated the enemy!"

Both Cui Yong and Tan Yaoyu thought that the Fire Worshipers would try to lure Tan Yaoyu up the mountain, so they wanted to use bait to round up them.I didn't expect the team to disperse, but instead gave the Fire Worship Cult a chance to divide and attack!

It's just that Tan Yaoyu couldn't figure it out, "The people who came to Tuyuhun with us this time were all elite soldiers from the heavy cavalry regiment. How could they be wiped out quietly?!"
