Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 437
As for the danger on the other side of the mountain, Li Wenxuan had already seen it when he first climbed the mountain, but because he was too concerned about Mingzhu's injury at that time, he never cared to observe it carefully. Now that Mingzhu mentioned , and seeing that she was in good spirits, she helped Mingzhu to sit down on the other side of the mountain, and looked at the terrain there with Mingzhu.

Mingzhu looked at the steep slope over there, and immediately frowned. One side of the mountain is very steep, but the other side is completely different from this side. Look at the slope, and there are many uneven rocks on it that can be used for strength. Not to mention well-trained young and strong soldiers, even ordinary old farmers can climb up without much effort. If they have some light skills, they can walk like flying here. The men and horses went around to the back of the mountain, found this shortcut, and wanted to attack by force, then the situation of the two of them was very bad.

However, Li Wenxuan smiled and said: "It's okay, it's easier to go up this steep slope, but look at the narrow place in front." Pointing to the place five or six feet away below, he said: "It's very narrow there, and you can't walk side by side. It can only accommodate five or six people. We only need to push down a big rock, even if there are thousands of horses and horses below, it is difficult to get up to this mountain. The most important thing here is the stone. It can be said that one man is in charge. , don't worry so much."

Mingzhu also laughed secretly in her heart, what Li Wenxuan said is true, as long as there is only one person guarding above, even thousands of troops below will not be able to take advantage of it, if it is a different day, I will definitely not panic when I look at the terrain, and I should be like Li Wenxuan He is calm and calm, but today he was confused from the beginning, always worrying about gains and losses?He shook his head helplessly at the moment, thinking that he was probably killed by this Li Lang. He has experienced many dangers in the past, but he never knew how to be afraid, but now he is always worried about life and death, but even so, so what?Now that the two are able to respect each other as guests, thinking about all this is really not easy, so they said: "Li Lang, I will listen to you!"

Li Wenxuan smiled and said: "Okay, you rest here, I will find some stones to prepare here in advance, if those Xixia soldiers really dare to come up, I will make them look good!"

Immediately Li Wenxuan got busy, moving big rocks up the slope one by one, the big ones weighed more than 200 catties, and the small ones weighed up to one hundred catties, and the ones he picked were all those with round heads and melon brains. Li Wenxuan's hands and feet are nimble, and with the beauty by his side, he is in a good mood, energetic and efficient. After a while, there are dozens of big stones piled up nearby, enough for the Xixia soldiers below to drink a pot. Shaking his head, Li Wenxuan's posture was comparable to a city defense battle.

Li Wenxuan was hot, his head was steaming hot, and he lay down sweating with the blood that had condensed on his body before. Looking a little embarrassed, Mingzhu took out a close-fitting embroidered handkerchief from his bosom, and gently rubbed it on Li Wenxuan's forehead. wipe.

As Mingzhu flicked her wrist lightly, bursts of girlish body fragrance in the embroidered handkerchief came rushing towards her face. Li Wenxuan's heart fluttered, but he took the embroidered handkerchief, reluctant to use it himself, and went to wipe Mingzhu's cheeks. She closed her eyes slightly, allowing Li Wenxuan to touch her cheek, but Li Wenxuan's approach was too honest, she dared not move indiscriminately even though her heart was moving, which made Mingzhu a little disappointed.

It wasn't until Li Wenxuan put down the embroidered handkerchief that Mingzhu noticed that the embroidered handkerchief had changed color a long time ago, red, black, lumpy, and really not at all beautiful. His face must also be dirty in patches, not much better than Li Wenxuan. Immediately impatient, he rubbed his sleeves against his cheeks vigorously, and turned his back on purpose, lest Li Wenxuan see his dirty face. The appearance will come to laugh at myself, but don't think about it. Li Wenxuan has seen her like this for a long time. Mingzhu's expression is anxious and shy, and she looks like a Xiaojiabiyu. energy?Li Wenxuan was laughing again and again, but his heart was warm.

Mingzhu said angrily: "These blind Xixia soldiers have harmed me a lot, and I will definitely make them look good in the future!"

Li Wenxuan nodded and said: "That's right, we must settle this account with them in the future! Otherwise, I will be sorry to the thousands of brothers who are buried in the wilderness!"

Mingzhu heard that Li Wenxuan called those Jin soldiers who died in battle brothers, and she was not as concerned about the defense of Song and Jin as before. She was very relieved in her heart, secretly thinking about keeping Li Wenxuan in the Kingdom of Jin, and just wanted to test it out. After asking the last question, I heard Li Wenxuan continue to say: "Although the two thousand soldiers and horses are from the Jin Dynasty, and I am from the Song Dynasty, but these days, they have called me a general in their mouths, and they have not treated me just because I am from the Song Dynasty." The vision is different, these are the trust in me, even though they have different ways and do not conspire with each other, it is undeniable that they are also good men, originally I thought, even if the Song and Jin wars reappear one day, I will fight against them Before the army, it is inevitable that the two sides will meet each other, but I will also regard them as friends in my heart. I would expect that in today's battle, the 2000 troops will be completely wiped out. Alas, I will write down this hatred. If I can't avenge them , It’s in vain to make them so muddleheaded!”

When Mingzhu heard it, she took back the words of advice she had just pondered over. Li Wenxuan was still full of quack spirit, but the difference between Song and Jin in his bones hadn't changed much. If he wanted to keep him in the Kingdom of Jin, he might have no hope. Depressed, but thinking about it again, in the past, he was unwilling to even talk to himself, but now he is willing to make a promise with himself, such as his pedantic temperament is already extremely rare, why should he talk to him again? Are you struggling?Thinking of these, Mingzhu felt relieved.

Mingzhu said: "Do you find it strange that we were ambushed by Xixia soldiers?"

Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu looked at each other. Some things are self-evident. The route they took to send Princess Yilan off is still far away from the border of the Xixia Kingdom. It is impossible for Xixia soldiers to come here. Now tens of thousands of Xixia soldiers seem to have fallen from the sky, and they have firmly trapped the sending team. Obviously, it has been premeditated for a long time and carefully prepared.

Li Wenxuan frowned and said: "Although I have left all the big and small things to Wugu for the things along the way, I still know some key things. This route has been set long ago. There is no real power that is an open enemy to the Kingdom of Jin, but many tribes on this grassland are in constant disputes, and they often meet each other with swords. Many of the tribes have a delicate relationship with the Kingdom of Jin. The Kingdom of Jin is too close, isn't it, too distant? It is not suitable, so for the sake of convenience, we have intentionally or unintentionally avoided large and small tribes along the way. The only ones in the army who know the marching route are me and Wugu, even if it is you and the princess. I'm afraid I don't know, do I?"

Mingzhu nodded slightly, acquiescing to Li Wenxuan's words. Mingzhu's mission on the surface is to protect the princess, and she has no authority in the military, so she really doesn't know the route.

Then Li Wenxuan was silent for a long time, and then said: "So I think... since the Xixia people can grasp our route so accurately, could someone secretly inform Xixia?"

"No!" Ming Zhuxiu clenched her fists tightly, clenched her teeth, and said, "Absolutely not! I don't believe anyone in our Daikin would do such a thing!"

"Ah!" Li Wenxuan sighed, he also understood Mingzhu's mood, this time sending off relatives, only Li Wenxuan and Wugu in the army knew the way to go, and other people who knew the news were only a few important figures in Shangjing. Most of them are people from the Marshal's Mansion, people who have known Mingzhu for a long time, like the people in Yanyun Eighteen Riders, who have been with Mingzhu for many years. If some of these people betrayed the news to Xixia, that would be It is the people around Mingzhu. Although Mingzhu is usually indifferent and seems to be indifferent to people, but the people around her are still very important to her. If some of these people are traitors, Mingzhu It is unacceptable from the bottom of my heart.

Li Wenxuan shook Mingzhu's hand lightly, and continued: "I know you don't want to believe it, and I hope that I guessed wrong, and I don't want to make you sad, but now the facts are here, these Xixia soldiers came up to rob Capturing Princess Yilan is not afraid of tearing her face in the open, and her intentions are really sinister. What is even more surprising is that the Kelie tribe has colluded with Xixia soldiers for a long time. This matter is really not small, huh! You won’t get tired and get hurt if your troops attack you! So, if you want to drive more, since ancient times, there are traitors and rebels everywhere.”

Mingzhu felt the concern in Li Wenxuan's words, and her heart warmed up, and she also understood the current situation very well, with a gloomy expression, she said: "People's hearts are sinister, I dare not think who would do such a thing... You said...would it be Wogu?"

Li Wenxuan shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I don't think so. If it's Wugu... I don't think you really believe it's him, do you?" Li Wenxuan smiled wryly, and stopped talking.

Mingzhu said again: "The Kelei tribe and the Xixia people are colluding. This is really unexpected. In the early years, the Kelie tribe united with several other major tribes and fought against the Xixia soldiers many times. Among them, I, Dajin, also sent troops. The soldiers were defeated by my Dajin many times, with heavy casualties, but those grassland tribes also suffered a lot. Even the eldest son of the leader of the Kelei tribe was killed by an arrow while fighting the Xixia soldiers. The relationship between the two sides can be described as The hatred is as deep as the sea, and the Kelie tribe and my Dajin have always been on good terms, coupled with the alliance and combat friendship in the early years, the current situation is really confusing. Stand together."

Li Wenxuan also had a bitter expression on his face. The two of them thought for a while, but they couldn't think of a reason.

Li Wenxuan sent Mingzhu back to the hut to rest, while he scouted around to find out the terrain of the mountain, in case there would be a surprise attack by Xixia soldiers. When he felt that everything was correct, he was about to turn back, but unexpectedly found a But there was a big pit sunk in, curious in my heart, I climbed along the stone wall to see, it turned out that this was a cave, the entrance of the cave financed by a person curled up into it, but the cave inside was as tall as a person, Li Wenxuan didn't know In the situation, when I entered the cave with my sword in hand, I saw jagged rocks on top and bottom of the cave, and there was almost no flat place to step on, but Li Wenxuan's lightness kung fu was superb, and he couldn't believe it at the moment. After walking not far, he heard There was also the sound of rushing water, and when I got closer, I realized that there was a natural big cave in the depths of the cave, and there was a pool of water in the center of the cave. Not seen in the cracks, what's even better is that the smoke is curling up above the pool, and it is a natural hot spring after a deep probe and a gentle touch.

Li Wenxuan was overjoyed, because he was thirsty, so he bent down and drank to his heart's content, then took a few handfuls of water to wash off the blood on his head and face, and excitedly, he couldn't wait to go up and tell Mingzhu about this good place. like.

But when Li Wenxuan had just returned to the peak, before he had time to meet Mingzhu, he heard rustling footsteps getting closer and closer. He immediately raised the Qingshuang Sword to the edge of the steep slope and saw hundreds of Xixia soldiers rushing forward. At the top of the peak, Li Wenxuan was a few meters away from the high platform. Fortunately, he didn't take a bath in the pool below. Otherwise, if he came up at night, wouldn't it harm the pearl?
Li Wenxuan shouted with a horizontal sword: "Traitor! Take your life!" Then he kicked two big rocks down, and the Xixia soldiers on the steep slope were whizzed down in an instant before they could see where Li Wenxuan was standing The huge boulder knocked down more than a dozen, and Li Wenxuan used his dark strength when he stepped out. Coupled with the condescending momentum, the boulder's castration did not weaken at all. Flesh and blood flew all over the place, which was very miserable. In the end, it was hard to count how many people were killed or injured.

This Xixia soldier walked up the steep slope, and before meeting the people on top, he suffered a big loss. Everyone was angry and wanted to charge again, but the boulders on the top kept falling one after another, like a rolling log. The stone was still strong, and the Xixia soldiers suffered heavy casualties. The officer in charge didn't dare to fight hard anymore, and immediately ordered the Xixia soldiers to hide everywhere.

When Li Wenxuan saw these Xixia soldiers, he didn't dare to move around for a while, and he didn't carelessly. He stood firmly on the top, in case some skilled people would sneak up the mountain alone.

Li Wenxuan was guarding against death when he suddenly heard a whoosh sound coming through the air, followed by the sound of whoosh and overturned towards the mountain in one piece. Shooting the arrows, because Bu knew how Mingzhu’s situation was, he retreated to the shack first, and saw Mingzhu looking out with a worried expression on his face. Although there were many arrows, the stone wall that Li Wenxuan built was unintentional. Planting a willow just enough to block the arrow, Mingzhu's safety is not a problem for a while.

Li Wenxuan smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect these Xixia soldiers to come up so soon. It seems that it is difficult for you and me to be quiet for a while."

Regardless of Mingzhu's injuries, she was about to draw her sword to fight, Li Wenxuan hurriedly pressed her little hand, and said, "What are you going to do, now that you are injured, stay here honestly, as long as you are well, no matter how much I am not afraid of the Xixia soldiers!" After saying that, he nodded slightly to Mingzhu, then walked quickly, dialed Diaoling, and rushed down the steep slope bravely.

Li Wenxuan is fast, and the Xixia soldiers below have also seen his methods in the battle. Originally, these hundreds of people charged up with a sense of morale, and a wave of boulders has already knocked them down a bit. , wanted to use bows and arrows to win back a city, but it turns out that feather arrows are not very effective now, and Li Wenxuan even raised his sword to kill them. Li Wenxuan shot for a while, and a thousand arrows pierced through his heart, but Li Wenxuan's feet were too fast, his words were out of his mouth, and the Qingshuang sword had already left a bloodstain on his throat, and the officer groaned and fell to the ground exhausted.

The soldiers behind looked around and ran away, but Li Wenxuan didn't care about that, he raised his sword and chased after him, beheading more than ten people before turning back slowly.

When Li Wenxuan came back to the top, he saw Mingzhu picked up a wooden stick and stationed himself on the top, sweeping the formation for him.Li Wenxuan laughed, and said: "It seems that this side is okay, they won't be able to rush forward."

Mingzhu smiled coquettishly: "Don't be careless...Huh?" After carefully looking at Li Wenxuan's face, she asked strangely, "Why is your face so clean?"

"Oh? Really?" Li Wenxuan wiped his face, and said mysteriously: "There is a treasure on this mountain, hehe, right under our feet, there is a hot spring!"

"Hot spring?" Mingzhu's eyes lit up immediately, and regardless of the many Xixia soldiers below, she pulled Li Wenxuan and said, "Where is it, take me there quickly, I am so dirty, I feel so uncomfortable."

Li Wenxuan was about to agree, when he suddenly remembered the wound on Mingzhu's body, shook his head and said, "No, wait until the wound on your back solidifies, it won't get wet now."

"Li Lang...Wenxuan...Li Wenxuan..." Mingzhu begged for a long time, playing hard and soft, but Li Wenxuan was determined not to take her. Injured by knives, guns and arrows, the medicine stopped the bleeding, and scabs formed in one day. As long as the injury is not serious, it will be cured in seven days, so you take me there! My whole body...is so uncomfortable, and the hot spring water, Good for girls..."

Li Wenxuan had no choice but to smile wryly: "The big deal is that I don't do anything dirty these days, just stay with you. If you don't like it, I made my body smelly on purpose. Do you think it's okay?"

"You! Disgusting person!" Mingzhu snorted, knowing that there was no other way, she could only hope that the arrow wound on her body would recover soon.

The Xixia soldiers below suffered a big loss in the charge this time, but they did not give up. Later, someone led the troops to charge twice. Li Wenxuan took advantage of the location, either by throwing huge stones, or by guarding in a narrow place and fighting with swords. The soldiers were still lost and lost, and they didn't take advantage of it. In the end, there were only piles of corpses left on the hillside.
