Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 728 Back to the Carbine

On Daqi Mountain.

It was quiet inside the cave, only a few bonfires were burning.

Zhuge's family of five had been exhausted all day long, and the two girls fell asleep back to back. Zhuge Jun leaned on his uncle Zhuge Xuan, and only Zhuge Liang rested with his back against the cave.

The rest of the guards were on guard outside, only Zhang Ning was beside Mu Jing.

And when dawn was approaching, Mu Jing couldn't hold on any longer, so he squinted for a while, but Zhang Ning never took a rest, she was always vigilant, kept her sword in her hand, and never moved three steps away from Mu Jing.

When the sun shines in, Mu Jing wakes up.

Perhaps because of the two years of recuperation, being a princess has become a little arrogant, opening his mouth for food, stretching out his hands for clothes, and facing a night in this dilapidated cave, it seems a little backache.

To say that he has been running around all these years, and insists on practicing martial arts every day, his body is very strong, but it may be due to his psychology. He is familiar with the comfort when he sleeps, and suddenly feels uncomfortable and feels sore all over.

"I boiled some water. You should wash your face first, wipe your body, and then drink some water. There is nothing to eat on the mountain, and we have no dry food. We can only drink some water to support our stomachs!"

Zhang Ning found a Waong from nowhere, hung it over the campfire, and boiled a jar of water.

These years, no matter whether she is on an expedition or in Hanzhong, she has never left Mujing. She is more familiar with Mujing's living habits than anyone else. I feel sick all over.

"What time is it?"

Mu Jing asked.

"It's already dawn, it's probably past Mao hour, it's almost Chen hour!" Zhang Ning replied.

"Is there any movement down the mountain?"

Mu Jing didn't know where Zhang Ning got a cloth towel, after soaking it in hot water, he wiped his face and neck vigorously.

"There was no movement after dawn. General Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao Zhonglang have already gone to investigate in person!"

After Zhang Ning finished speaking, Huang Zhong walked in from the outside.

He knelt down on one knee and cupped his hands to report: "My lord, the Jingzhou army withdrew more than an hour ago!"

"sure?"

Mujing's eyes flashed with sharp eyes.

"It's sure, their army has indeed withdrawn from our sight!"

"They are withdrawing now, which means that they can't hold on to Xiangyang City!" Mu Jing thought for a while: "We have to go down the mountain, as soon as possible, and we can't give the Jingzhou army time to react. If they don't even care about Jingzhou City, they will be determined." If you want to siege me, I will definitely not be able to stop it!"

The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and there are countless scenes of pastoral care.

When there is an opportunity at this time, he always wants to take it.

It is his principle not to wait here to die.

Huang Zhong said: "Zhang Liao has already gone down the mountain to find our soldiers and horses, but the mountain road here is very rugged. We cut off the iron chain, and the mountain road here is not familiar. The Jingzhou army can't find it, and it is difficult for us. Find it!"

"I can find it!"

The young Zhuge Liang did not know when he woke up. He looked at Mu Jing with serious eyes. The Jingzhou army actually withdrew their troops. By the way, Mu Jing suddenly became more thoughtful.

"I am familiar with the road here!"

Zhuge Liang straightened his robes, stood up, walked over, and said softly, "I can find a way down!"

"Are you familiar with the mountain roads here?" Mu Jing looked at Zhuge Liang and asked in a deep voice.

"Walk a few times!"

Zhuge brightened his head.

At this time, Zhuge's family also woke up. When Zhuge Xuan heard that the Jingzhou army had withdrawn, he felt mixed feelings in his heart. The Jingzhou army withdrew without even betting for a day.

Could it be that the Zhuge family will submit to the Mu family in the future.

But the Zhuge family had nothing left, and the only thing left was a bit of reputation. If they surrendered to the Mu clan, they would be in the company of thieves, and the last bit of Zhuge family's poor reputation among scholars would also disappear.

Even more dangerous is that Zhuge's family will become the enemy of Jingzhou Shilin.

"That's right!"

Mu Jing said with a smile: "With you leading the way, it should be easier to walk!"

He waved his hand: "You all tidy up and go down the mountain in an hour!"

"Yes!"

The crowd nodded.

Zhuge Liang's little face suddenly showed some hesitation, and he didn't know what to say or not to say about some things.

"Say anything!"

Mujing saw his hesitation and said directly.

He never regarded Zhuge Liang as a child.

Perhaps it was because of Zhuge Liang's astounding reputation in history that he was different from the beginning, and even had some equal respect for Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and said, "Master Minghou, it may not be the best time to go down the mountain now. We are on the mountain, so we definitely don't know the bottom of the mountain. It seems that the Jingzhou army has withdrawn, but what if it is a trap? If the Jingzhou army is just pretending to confuse us, we will fall into a trap!"

"You are a child who thinks about things very comprehensively!"

Mujing patted his little head affectionately. This feeling made Zhuge Liang very uncomfortable. In the past two years, he traveled south from Mount Tai and traveled to Jiangdong before arriving in Jingzhou. He has grown up all the way, and he is no longer used to being treated like a child. .

But he didn't resist, and took over meekly. After two years of running around, he developed a character of planning before acting.

"You got the test right!"

Mu Jing withdrew his hand and asked, "Then do you think we shouldn't go down the mountain, what should we do, wait on this mountain?"

"It's not a good idea either!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "It's okay to wait for one day, but if you wait for two days, you'll die. If you wait for three days, we'll probably be so hungry that we won't even have the strength to move. Then there's really no turning point. If we can go down the mountain, we'd better go down the mountain early! "

Mu Jing also smiled wryly, and said: "So, this adventure has to be taken, we can't wait to die on this mountain!"

It's okay to be hungry for a day.

Another day of starvation will not work.

If they starved for three days, they would not even have the strength to finally break through.

Going down the mountain now seems risky, but it is still a chance to turn around, and at worst, go back again. If Zhang Liao can come up to meet the soldiers and horses, that would be even better, at least temporarily out of trouble.

So he decided to go down the mountain anyway.

However, after the time passed, he waited for a few soldiers of the Divine Guard to monitor the way, and then he led Zhuge's family, under the protection of ten elite soldiers of the Divine Guard, from a rugged mountain road to a cliff. .

This Daqi Mountain is not high, but the road is really difficult. No wonder the Jingzhou Army has been searching for so long, but they can’t find a way to go up the mountain. The only way to enter the mountain is the chain bridge connecting Longzhong Mountain. the way.

Fortunately, there was Zhuge Liang leading the way. If there was no one to lead the way, they would have to spend at least two or three days on this winding mountain road before they could get down.

And even with Zhuge Liang leading the way, if you want to walk these mountain roads, you must have people with good martial arts skills to walk on flat ground. The five members of Zhuge's family are all old and weak, women and children, and none of them have martial arts skills, so they walked very slowly.

until the afternoon.

They just came to the mountain pass.

After crossing the small mountain stream in front, it is the area of ​​Longzhong Mountain, but the mountain of Longzhong Mountain is not so steep, it is like a large plain, which is equivalent to stepping out of the mountain.

"Finally it's down!" Mu Jing looked at the setting sun that was about to slant to the west, and couldn't help taking a long breath.

"My lord, Zhang Liao hasn't come back yet!"

Huang Zhong looked at the creek ahead and said.

"How did the investigation go?"

"We have a dozen or so people, and we didn't investigate very carefully, but we tried our best to keep an eye on the Jingzhou army's camp. They have indeed withdrawn from the camp, and judging from their traces, they should have retreated towards Xiangyang City! "

Huang Zhong replied: "What is certain is that their main force should be back!"

"In that case, let's go!"

Mujing opened the way himself and crossed the small mountain stream.

A group of people followed him, walked out of Daqi Mountain, and entered Longzhong Mountain.

After crossing Longzhong Mountain, it is Longzhong.

Longzhong is now a battlefield, and it is a battlefield with a very fierce fighting atmosphere. The two sides have gathered more than [-] soldiers and horses here, and the small Longzhong Village is crowded.

call out!
Just when Mu Jing and his group were about to walk out of Longzhong Mountain, a sharp arrow shot out from the distant forest and shot directly at Mu Jing's head.

too fast.

Huang Zhong opened the way ahead, about ten steps away from Mujing, and there was no time to block it.

But there is Zhang Ning beside Mujing.

It's true that Zhang Ning's martial arts are the way of a ranger, but her skill is not fake. She is already a rare inner strength under Yuan Gang. Her skill is so powerful that ordinary generals dare not face it directly.

She drew her sword and drew it out, her movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water.

block!
This sharp arrow aimed at Mujing's front door was shot down.

"Killing the Shepherd Dragon Picture!"

Although the arrow was shot down, a dense rain of arrows erupted from the jungle ahead, covering Mu Jing and his party all at once.

"retreat!"

"Find cover!"

Everyone protected Mujing and withdrew to the back, using trees as cover.

"Depend on!"

Mujing's face turned ugly: "It really made them kill a carbine!"

"Quick battle, kill them!"

Ahead, in the mountains and forests, thousands of Jingzhou soldiers rushed out from nowhere.

Headed by a mighty general, he charged forward with a spear in his hand, with a ferocious smile on his face: "Hahaha, the general is indeed wise, let us wait and see, today, I, Liu Yong, will be the ones to make meritorious deeds. The head of this shepherd thief will definitely let the lord..."

"Crack!"

With a sharp blade, he slashed and killed Invincible, beheading this human head.

As a general under Wenpin's command, Liu Yong still had a ferocious smile on his face, but his head had been separated from his body, and he died on the way of charging.

Because he rushed too fast.

Forgot that there was an invincible general beside Mu Jing.

Nanyang Sword King.

A knife can open mountains and split rocks.

"With me, Huang Zhong, here, who would dare to hurt my lord!"

Huang Zhong shot countless arrows into the air, and then stepped out, the power of Yuan Gang burst out all over his body, the saber in his hand lay across the mountain road, dripping with blood, his tall figure was like a giant mountain, blocking the mountain road, the sound of cold howling Echoing in the mountains and forests: "Those who take a step forward will end up like this!"

The Jingzhou soldiers who were in ambush were frightened immediately. Seeing this scene, all of them turned pale in horror. The main general was beheaded just as he charged.
