Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 445 Barbed Tribulus

The fire on the mountain peak burned for a full night before it gradually extinguished, but Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu didn't know about it, and they didn't bother to think about those things. The two hid in the cave. There was a hot spring inside. The cave was a natural greenhouse. The beautiful fragrance pervades it, which is many times better than the wind, sun, and fear on the mountain peak. If Suo was helplessly trapped on the mountain peak, now the two of them voluntarily stay here.The world testifies, Qingshan is the matchmaker, and the two became husband and wife at the juncture of life and death. He went into battle with injuries, but he was also fearless. As for the ecstasy in it, it is not enough for outsiders to know.

The two of them lingered in the cave until the afternoon of the second day, when Li Wenxuan reluctantly let go of the sleeping Pearl, leaned out half of his body from the entrance of the cave and looked around, only then did he know that the fire on the mountain had already died down. I jumped up to the high platform on the mountain cautiously, and saw that the whole mountain had turned into a scorched black color, and it had long since lost its previous green appearance. The only thing that remained the same was the stone hut that Li Wenxuan built with stones. , but stood in the same place as in the past.There is a thick layer of ashes left by the mountain fire on the high platform on the mountain, and there are many messy footprints on it. It seems that Xixia soldiers came up to investigate after the fire was extinguished.Looking at the foot of the mountain, all the soldiers and horses of Kelei's tribe have retreated. The Xixia army has not all retreated, only part of it has withdrawn. The rest of the people camped in front of the mountain and behind the mountain. There were cavalry scouts constantly running back and forth, and there were also many scouts in groups of a dozen or so on the mountainside, who were looking around, needless to say, looking for the whereabouts of Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu.

Li Wenxuan originally thought that after this fire, the Xixia people would think that he and Mingzhu were buried in the sea of ​​fire, and then all of them would retreat, but unexpectedly there were so many people guarding here, but after thinking about it again, it was natural, Xixia soldiers set fire Burning the mountain, since such a great effort wasted, they must come back to examine the bodies of the two afterwards, but Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu hid, even if they hollowed out the rocks of the mountain three feet, they still couldn't find Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu's whereabouts.

It’s also hard for those Xixia soldiers who set up an ambush on the grassland to encircle them. For the sake of Mingzhu’s fake princess, thousands of people chased this place across the mountains and mountains. Not to mention the loss of soldiers, they still couldn’t capture them alive after trying their best, and even set them on fire. Li Wenxuan was secretly amused when he thought about it, but he didn't know that if the Xixia people knew that the Princess Yilan they were looking for was pretending to be their bride, they would probably be angry with Xixia. The soldier vomited blood.

The Xixia soldiers did not leave for the time being, and there was nothing wrong with them. Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu both had injuries, and they had no intention of leaving this place too early. It is much more dangerous to meet Xixia soldiers on the endless grassland than on this mountain.It was just a little unexpected. The fire from the Xixia soldiers turned all the trees, flowers and plants on the mountain into ashes, which cut off the rations of Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu. They had already stayed in the cave for a day, and they were already hungry. Li Wenxuan Originally, I wanted to see if I could catch a few blackbirds to satisfy my hunger while I was out, but probably because of the mountain fire that day, when I looked up at the sky, I couldn't even see a bird's feathers. The vicious sun hangs high, as if canceling Li Wenxuan.

Back in the cave, Mingzhu had woken up a long time ago. She was sitting in a state of self-consciousness and taking care of her clothes. When she saw Li Wenxuan, she threw herself into his arms, looked at him with watery eyes, and said: "Where did you go? I didn't see you when I woke up. I thought you were leaving me..."

Li Wenxuan gently touched her nose, and said with a smile: "Hey, don't think about it, I will never leave you in this life, I just wanted to go outside to check, and you have been exhausted these two days, Seeing how soundly you slept, I couldn't bear to wake you up."

Mingzhu blushed slightly, showing a happy smile, took out a handkerchief to wet Li Wenxuan, and gently washed Li Wenxuan's face, it was really gentle, Li Wenxuan couldn't help swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva, but remembering that she almost hurt Mingzhu last night The arrow wounded repeatedly on the back, and the fire that had just ignited in his heart immediately faded away, but he just hugged Mingzhu's small waist, but he didn't dare to do other actions.

After Li Wenxuan told Mingzhu what he had just seen, Mingzhu immediately pursed her mouth and covered her belly with her hands, looking annoyed. Before the golden soldiers attacked the mountain for the last time, Mingzhu ate and picked it up A few wild fruits, nothing else, plus a lot of blood loss due to injuries, and a day of hard work with Li Wenxuan, so after these two days of hard work, I have already been dizzy. Listen to Li Wenxuan, Immediately I wanted to open my mouth to scold those Xixia soldiers, but when I saw Li Wenxuan, I thought that I was already a wife. People in Song Dynasty seemed to care about women's three obediences and four virtues. I don't know if Li Wenxuan is such a number one person. He took it back again, turned his pretty eyes, took a handful of spring water in his little hand, and said, "Li Lang, my servant is serving porridge for you!"

Mingzhu's appearance is really extremely cute, and there is a hint of coquettishness and the shyness of the new wife in the cuteness. Hearing that delicate voice, Li Wenxuan is very happy. If the Mingzhu in the past was a piece of cold ice that could kill people, then now It's just a glass of gentle water that can melt people's hearts. In just two days, Kungfu Pearl's temperament has changed a lot. Li Wenxuan is naturally very emotional while being happy.

Li Wenxuan took Mingzhu's little hand, gulped down his drink, then wiped his mouth with unsatisfied desire, and praised: "Not bad, not bad, the lady's craftsmanship is very good, it made me almost put your "little one." The bowl" was swallowed too."

Mingzhu smiled, and leaned beside him, and was about to say something to relieve Li Wenxuan, but she heard a gurgling sound, and her stomach was so unbearable that she "speaked" before her.

Mingzhu blushed slightly, and said: "I'm not hungry, even if I'm really hungry, I'll get over it by drinking more saliva."

Li Wenxuan was a little bit sad, Mingzhu had a daughter who gave him everything, but let her go hungry with him from the beginning, even though it was all caused by Xixia soldiers besieging the mountains, but Li Wenxuan felt very guilty in his heart, So she proposed several times that she wanted to venture down the mountain to have a look and find something to eat, but Mingzhu shook her head and denied it.

Li Wenxuan sighed: "Mingzhu, you haven't seen the camp outside. Although there are not many Xixia soldiers today, their hard drives are very stable. It seems that they plan to stay here permanently. They have put in a lot of effort these days. , I must not be reconciled if I don’t find you and me, now they can’t decide whether you and I are alive or dead, but even so, I’m afraid they won’t leave without ten days and a half months.”

Mingzhu smiled and said: "I don't care about them. I can guard the outer gate as long as I like. They drink wind and eat sand outside. How can you and I enjoy ourselves in this paradise? You know, I don't want to leave now. This cave is warm, and there are hot springs, where can I find such a good place?"

Li Wenxuan smiled and said: "You, I know you don't want me to risk going down the mountain, but we can't drink water all day long, we can make do with it in three or two days, but it will take a long time, my wife Being skinny and skinny from starvation, wouldn’t it make my husband’s heart ache? Besides, if you’re really hungry and skinny, you won’t look good at that time, alas, I seem to have lost some weight when I look at you now.”

"Oh, is it?" Mingzhu hurriedly touched her face, she was not afraid of starvation, but she was afraid that if Li Wenxuan said that she would become thin and dry, then wouldn't he not like her?

Li Wenxuan saw through her thoughts, kissed him on the cheek, and said, "Don't think about it, it's very beautiful and fragrant."

Mingzhu twisted her body, leaned even tighter, and said: "Actually, I also know that it is definitely not an option for us to stay here for a long time, but think about it, the Jinren have killed so many people in order to catch you, plus Later, they became angry and set fire to the mountain. Do you think they made a lot of noise? But now, we don’t see people alive and dead bodies. Why do you think they are willing to let it go? Now they are camping at the foot of the mountain, I’m afraid I’ve already guessed Seeing that you and I are still alive, but they can't find us, they are unwilling to do this with us at the foot of the mountain. They probably think that there is no food and water on the mountain, and they have made up their minds to force us out. You I am all injured now, and it would be even worse if I bump into them when I go down the mountain, and since they have invested so much money, I don't believe that there is no ambush on the mountainside. It’s waiting for us, I don’t want you to go down and take risks, it’s him and the others who have made a plan, and now in the cave, although there is less food, we can survive for a few more days at least.”

Li Wenxuan sighed, and said: "It's no problem if we persist for a few more days, but by then you and I will be dizzy from hunger, but the Xixia people haven't retreated yet, so what should we do?"

"This..." Mingzhu shook her head and stopped talking. She naturally knew Li Wenxuan's concerns, but she really didn't want to ask Li Wenxuan to go out and take risks. It is satisfaction.

Li Wenxuan saw that her expression was full of worry, and said again: "Why don't I go out to have a look tonight, and they will definitely not find me at night when I'm alone." When Li Wenxuan said this, Mingzhu immediately became a little anxious , Li Wenxuan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I just went down to see the news of the Xixia soldiers, and I didn't go to fight with them. What are you afraid of?"

Mingzhu's little hand pulled him tightly, her attitude was self-evident, Li Wenxuan had no choice but to flatter him: "Don't worry, I'm really just going to have a look, I promise, even if it's just in case, what I'm talking about is just in case When they found out, I turned around and ran away. I would never do anything to them. You said it would not work. Haha, don’t even think about it. Even if you tell me to fight with them now, I don’t want to go. With a beautiful lady like you , I also miss you, don't I?"

"I hate it, you... oh, I can't stop you, you are my husband now, I just listen to you, be careful at night, I will wait for you here, the moment you leave, I will wait for you For a moment, if you go for an hour, I will wait for you for an hour, if you... bah bah, look what I said!"

Li Wenxuan took her little hand, feeling sorry for her, and said, "I understand what you mean!"

As the night darkened, Li Wenxuan walked towards the entrance of the stone cave in Mingzhu's reluctance. To Mingzhu, it was only a moment of parting, but it made her feel empty and unable to think about it. Guaranteed, I will definitely come back within two hours, and at the same time, I am telling myself to be careful, but this is not for myself, but for Mingzhu. If the feeling for Mingzhu in the past was just a throbbing in my heart, now For Li Wenxuan, it is a feeling of being connected by blood, not just saying "wife" or "mother", but a feeling of being inseparable and inseparable. It is a feeling of relatives, and To Li Wenxuan, the word "relatives" is a bit unfamiliar and extravagant.

Li Wenxuan went back to the high platform of the mountain and looked around again. During the day, Li Wenxuan had already been here once, but when he came to visit again at night, he found that the small shack he built for Mingzhu had been pushed away at some point. When it arrived, Li Wenxuan was really angry in his heart. Although this small shack was simple, it was the time he spent most of his time with Mingzhu. The hut is of extraordinary significance to both him and Mingzhu. Li Wenxuan was naturally angry in his heart when those Xixia soldiers came up to find no one but took the hut to vent their anger. I must beat a few Xixia soldiers to relieve my anger.

Li Wenxuan looked down along the slope of the mountain, and there were lights dancing in the middle of the mountain. He didn't expect that the Xixia soldiers had set up their camps on the mountainside. Li Wenxuan didn't dare to go down directly, fearing that the scouts of the Xixia soldiers would find out, so he detoured On the side of the mountain road, I chose those difficult paths to walk. Without superb lightness kung fu, these places would be impossible for ordinary people to reach. Therefore, Li Wenxuan became more courageous and was not afraid of being discovered.

Although the mountain road was dangerous, Li Wenxuan walked very fast, but after a stick of incense, he was already close to the military camp on the mountainside. Looking from the height, he could see that the village was brightly lit, and there were few sentries around, many of them Even cats are sleeping in the corner, Li Wenxuan assassinated Jin Wushu, looked at the barracks in front of him, and compared it with Jin Bing's camp, it was a world of difference, Li Wenxuan shook his head, secretly regretting that he didn't bring Mingzhu down, otherwise Maybe it would not be difficult for the two of them to pass through the camp so quietly.

If the guards were tight in front, Li Wenxuan might have to go back home right away, but seeing the situation, Li Wenxuan felt itchy in his heart, wanting to go in and have a look, and steal some food for Mingzhu, Li Wenxuan kept telling Mingzhu that he would come to inquire The news, in fact, most of the reason is just that Mingzhu can't bear to starve.

From where Li Wenxuan is to the barracks, if you bypass the straight up and down slope, there is still a small road to go. It is said to be a road, but in fact it is close to the edge of the mountain wall. The mountain wall is very steep, and you can see it from a distance. , as if being cut open by a knife, there are only some jagged protrusions that can be used for strength, and there is a pine tree growing from the rocks in the middle. The pine tree is very thick, and it seems to be some years old. Rao, even Li Wenxuan was already used to the dangers of the mountain roads, but when he saw the place in front of him, he gasped.

Li Wenxuan hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped forward lightly, climbed onto a rock, followed several ups and downs, and walked forward several feet. At the beginning, he was indeed very careful when he walked, but after a few steps, everything It went smoothly, and the pace followed quickly. Just as he was approaching the pine tree, Li Wenxuan was about to take a step forward, but there was a faint glint of light on the palm-sized stone on the opposite side.

It was a crescent moon at night, but the moonlight was very clear, and the light on the rock opposite was the reflected moonlight. Li Wenxuan was a little strange, what treasure would there be on this rock?When I jumped forward out of curiosity, I was extra careful, my palm only grasped the edge of that side of the stone, but didn't touch the shining thing, for fear of knocking it off the cliff.

But when Li Wenxuan arrived at the place, he picked up the glowing thing and looked at it, but his heart skipped a beat, and he pressed the Qingshuang Sword on his waist, looking around vigilantly.

It turned out that the shiny thing was not a treasure, but two barbed wire. Fortunately, Li Wenxuan didn't want to touch this treasure, and avoided it when he dropped his hand. If you grab it, your palm will definitely be pierced by barbed wire, and if you let go in panic, you will have to sleep forever at the foot of the mountain.

How could there be such a thing on this mountain wall? Did it fall from the mountain and stay here?Li Wenxuan looked at it, and felt that something was wrong again. The barbed wire looked like it was newly made, and it was definitely not left before. It is also unimaginable to be able to stop firmly on the stone when it falls from a certain place.

"Are these caltrops meant for me?"

The more Li Wenxuan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and then looked at the stones in front of him, and there seemed to be something on some of the stones. Surprised, Li Wenxuan slammed the barbed wire forward with all his strength, and only heard a ding, obviously It was the sound of two metals colliding, and then two small black spots fell into the darkness.
