Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 464
"Ah! Is this the Five Horse Road?"

Reining in his horse and stopping in front of Wuma Road, Fang Yi was quite shocked in his heart when he saw the two majestic peaks.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a precarious mountain just beyond Yanmen Pass."

The two mountain peaks are towering into the clouds, and there is a small path in the middle, as if it was built by someone chiseling the mountain with a giant axe.

Qin Jingniang looked far away and saw that the mountains were abnormally steep, and then she turned her eyes to Huang Puma, "He Lang, these two peaks can still be climbed by manpower, but horses may not be able to climb them."

"En." Fang Yiai nodded slightly, then called two strong soldiers and said, "You send the imperial horse and yellow pussy horse back to Yanmen Pass."

When the two horses galloped away, Fang Yiai stretched out and said helplessly, "I'm afraid of heights."

"What an enemy, the majestic champion of martial arts is afraid of heights?" Qin Jingniang spat softly, followed the soldiers, and walked slowly towards the five-horse road.

Stepping into Wuma Road, Fang Yiai realized that the previous guess was probably a bit simple.

Looking up, I saw that the stone walls on both sides were like glass, not to mention the stones used for climbing, even some gravel.

Seeing that there is no place to climb on the stone walls on both sides, Fang Yiai sighed, "Could it be that this place is really dangerous?"

"That's right, this is the first time I've seen such a smooth stone wall." Qin Jingniang said with her eyebrows slightly condensed, a little discouraged.

Not only Fang Yiai and his wife were helpless, but even the accompanying scouts showed a embarrassed expression, "Such a stone wall can only be secured by tying ropes from above, otherwise it will be absolutely impossible by manpower alone."

Before the scout could finish his decisive words, he heard a melodious melody faintly coming from above the valley.

"Set up an altar to borrow the east wind and help Zhou Lang"

Hearing the tune, Fang Yiai frowned slightly, "Huh? Is there someone up there?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of discussion in the army, and a few people even said such absurd and unruly words as the haunting of gods and men.

"I heard borrowing the east wind!"

"Could it be that Marquis Wu and Governor Zhou have appeared?"

"No way, Marquis Wu and Dudu Zhou haven't been to Yanmen Pass either."

The tone of the soldiers' discussion instantly drowned out the melody from Shanggu. Seeing this, Fang Yi'ai raised her left hand to signal the army to be quiet, which barely interrupted everyone's guessing.

"When Cao Mengde occupied the sky, there were many soldiers and generals"

"There is someone!" Fang Yiai heard it clearly this time, and even Qin Jingniang heard the melodious and vigorous tune.

The two looked at each other, and Fang Yiai immediately ordered, "Find a few capable soldiers and go look around to see if there is a path leading to the top of the valley."

More than [-] soldiers volunteered and walked quickly along the two ends of the five-horse road, while Fang Yiai led the army and stood silently in the valley, listening carefully to the rhyme coming from above.

"Lead the men and horses down to the south of the Yangtze River. Soldiers will be stationed in the Yangtze River."

"Huh? It's about the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period. It should be the Battle of Chibi, right?" Qin Jingniang murmured softly.

Seeing that his wife was familiar with the history books, Fang Yiai smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "It's the battle of Chibi at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, borrowing the east wind, the story of Zhuge Wuhou."

Just like this, the group stood at the bottom of the valley and listened to it for about a cup of tea. After a cup of tea, the melody gradually disappeared. Just when Fang Yiai and the others were puzzled, two strong men pulled a white-haired old man and walked quickly. Walked up to Fang Yiai.

Seeing the old man at first, Fang Yi was quite shocked in his heart, he saw that his beard and hair were white, but his feet were very steady, he followed the two powerful soldiers all the way, and he didn't seem to be lagging behind.

When the old man came up to him, Fang Yiai cupped his hands and said, "Old man, the one who sang at the top of the valley just now, was you?"

"It's the old man." The old man stroked his beard and nodded, seeing that Fang Yiai was wearing a bright silver helmet, he cupped his hands and said, "May I ask if the general is a soldier of the Tang Dynasty?"

"That's right, this is the Military Governor's Mansion of the Great Tang Dynasty." During the conversation, although Fang Yiai reported his official position, his tone was very respectful.

"Oh!" The old man said "ah", looked at Fang Yi'ai carefully, and bowed his hands again, "Is the general Fang Yi's son-in-law?"

"Uh..." Fang Yiai gave a wry smile, thinking, "Fang Dudu, Fang Youcheng, Fang Tongpan, but the name consort is still famous."

Seeing that the old man was dressed like a trustworthy Tang Dynasty man, and he was asking for something, Fang Yi'ai cut to the chase, "Old man, we are planning to go to the top of the valley, I don't know if the old man can lead the way?"

The old man chuckled, and said: "The two military masters have already climbed the mountain on the left, and the mountain on the right, the old man will lead the way."

"Okay, thank you so much, old man!" Fang Yiai smiled loudly, and then signaled half of the soldiers to go to the left mountain peak, while Qin Jingniang and herself led the rest of the soldiers and followed the old man to the path to the right mountain peak.

"The general is also here to scout out the terrain?" Seeing that Fang Yi'ai was bringing a lot of soldiers, the old man had already guessed in his heart that he was going to set up an ambush here, but he didn't point it out because of important military affairs.

"Exactly." After Fang Yiai responded, Qin Jingniang cupped her hands and said, "Old man, from what you said, are there still people coming to check the terrain these days?"

"Scared!" Seeing Qin Jingniang piercing through the confusion, the old man was a little surprised, and said slowly, "May I ask who this female general is?"

"It's a bitch." Fang Yiai scratched her head in embarrassment, thinking, "It's right to bring Jingniang here this time, my daughter's thoughts are really delicate."

"Oh, so it's Qin Qianjin. Fang. Mrs. He." The old man changed his address several times in a row, and Fang Yi'ai was dumbfounded when he heard Fang Yi'ai, thinking to himself, "I didn't expect this old man to be able to know the movements of Chang'an even though he lives outside the customs." Fingers crossed."

"These days there is always a group of Turkic spies who come to the valley to patrol, sometimes at dusk and sometimes at dawn, but they haven't been here in the past two days."

"Old man, did the spy ever know the path leading to Shanggu?"

"I don't know. Although they explored carefully on horseback, they didn't pay attention to the depths of the forest and the overgrown weeds."

"That's good, that's good." Fang Yiai nodded slightly, and the old man led them around, and finally came to the right behind the mountain on the right side of Wuma Road.

Passing through a dense forest overgrown with weeds, Fang Yiai waited for a group of people to walk on the mountain road for about a cup of tea before reaching the top of the mountain.

Standing on the top of the mountain overlooking the valley, you can see the winding path of the Wuma Road, not to mention a man and a horse, even a pheasant flying by can be seen carefully.

"What a dangerous place!" Fang Yiai clapped his hands in praise, looked around, but saw the plain in the distance, and the Yanmen Pass in the northeast.

"The crossbowmen hide along the edge of the cliff, and the rest of the soldiers scatter to find logs and boulders. Remember not to make any noise!"

After finishing speaking, Fang Yiai found the three scouts accompanying the army, and said: "The three of you go to the opposite mountain to send a message, telling them to prepare more logs and big stones, and wait for the governor to light the beacon fire, and when the time comes, you will go to the other side of the mountain to send a message, telling them to prepare more logs and large stones, and wait for the governor to light the beacon fire. Go down and say hello, and then take a detour to the exit of the five-horse road, and use the Turkic cavalry!"

After the scouts were sent away, Fang Yiai cupped his hands and said to the old man, "Old man, what are you doing here?"

"The old man usually collects herbs for a living. He happened to come to the mountain today and sang a few ancient songs. Unexpectedly, he met his son-in-law." The old man stroked his beard and smiled.

"Thank you, old man. Here is an ingot of grained silver. I will use it as my guide's fee." As he spoke, Fang Yiai took out an ingot of official silver from his waist, and handed it to the old man with both hands.

"Hey, what the governor said is different. It is common sense for a man to serve the country loyally, so why not treat the old man with a little bit of meekness." After finishing speaking, the old man cupped his hands and said, "The old man will go down the mountain immediately and go to the son-in-law to use his troops to kill the Turkic bandits!"

The old man walked forward quickly, walking on the steep cliff like walking on the ground, Fang Yiai was secretly surprised to see it, and felt even worse in his heart.

When the old man walked down the mountain road, Fang Yiai squatted on the edge of the cliff, and said to Qin Jingniang, "Jingniang, what the old man said just confirmed your guess."

Looking down the cliff, Fang Yiai felt a little dazzled, shook her head, and continued: "The cavalry who often came to Wuma Road to scout, probably were scouts sent by Ha Michi. They haven't come here for two days. Either Ha Michi gave up the five-horse way strategy, or he is preparing to deceive people and catch them off guard."

Qin Jingniang nodded slightly, "I hope so. If Ha Michi can be killed in one fell swoop, it will be a good thing for the country and the people."

When the soldiers were ready to stop, Fang Yiai specially set up a bunch of beacon fires at both ends of the mountain, one of which was naturally for Xue Li and three people in Yanmen Pass, while the other was for Li Ji to command Zuowei Daying watched it.

If Li Ji found the beacon fire on the mountain, maybe he would rush forward, and it would be fine if Ha Michi didn't come, if he came, he would be trapped and died in the Wuma Road.

As night fell, a total of more than [-] elite soldiers gathered on the two peaks. The big guys held their breaths and kept silent, waiting for Ha Michi to arrive. At this time, Fang Yiai's hanging heart had already fallen, and she was secretly looking forward to Ha Michi must come, so that he can have a taste of this great gift prepared by himself.

At three o'clock, the moon and stars are thin.

Just as the three armies were sleeping soundly, a sound of horseshoes sounded from the west. As the sound became more and more real, Fang Yiai concluded with certainty that this sentry was heading straight for Wuma Road!
