poisonous woman

Chapter 440
Jianmenguan is the throat of entering Shu. No matter which way you go, you must pass through here before you can enter Shu.At the same time, this place is also an important military area. There is one man in charge of the pass, and the praise of ten thousand men is not open. The terrain is steep, majestic and majestic. This is the last hurdle and the most difficult hurdle.

Settling in Wuyi Town, thirty miles away from Jianmen Pass, everyone began to discuss countermeasures.

"There are about [-] soldiers and horses stationed at Jianmen Pass. It is absolutely impossible to face-to-face. For the current plan, only by surprise can we kill a bloody path."

Gu Jinmu is very keen on the military. He can tell you all about the important military sites in Dazhou, how many people are guarding them, who the guards are, how much combat power they have, and how they are attacking and defending.

"Jianmen Gatekeeper Shijie can be regarded as an ambitious and ruthless person. When Emperor Xiaojing was in power, he was a general in the middle of the tiger. During a foreign war, he volunteered to fight for promotion. Emperor Xiaojing Trusted him and agreed to him. Unexpectedly, he was defeated in the first battle, but he was eager to make contributions, afraid of affecting his official career, so he dared not report the defeat. He turned black and white in the memorial to Emperor Xiaojing, and was defeated It has changed into a big victory. The army soldiers did not receive timely treatment, and there was no reinforcement support. Before the wounded, sick and disabled generals recovered, the enemy attacked again. The result, as you can imagine. The [-] army was almost wiped out , that was the most tragic battle of the Great Zhou."

"Emperor Xiaojing's benevolence, because he saved Emperor Xiaojing's life, he did not kill him, but demoted him to Jianmen Pass as a city guard. However, his wrist is very high, and he has been promoted continuously in just a few years. He is now the general guarding the gate. He has been in Jianmenguan for 15 years, and he has always wanted to climb up, but he has no chance. This time, according to his character, he will definitely not miss the opportunity, and will search vigorously for meritorious service. "

Although Jianmenguan is considered to be an important place for military affairs, and there are oils and waters, it is a place where birds don't shit. Who would like to stay here for the rest of their lives.Naturally, as long as there is a chance to be promoted, he will leave here at all costs.This time, it is definitely a good opportunity for him.

Xiao Junjue clasped his hands with ten fingers, and frowned in thought.With a large group of old and weak women and children, head-to-head encounters are absolutely impossible, but there is no other way now, and they are really forced to the cliff, jumping or not jumping is not enough.

"Let's wait for another two days, maybe there will be news from Ye Ying Ye Xiao." If those two groups of people have already arrived in Yizhou, Ye Ying Ye Owl will definitely come to meet them. With them as internal support, it will be much easier to break into Shu .

However, Xiao Junjue felt uneasy because he had not received any news from them, wondering if something would happen to those two groups of people.

It was the first time for Rong Zhao to see Xiao Junjue looking so worried. She brought him food, "Okay, don't hang around here, go eat first, and think of a way after you're full."

Rong Zhao and the others took refuge in a farm family and lived in an inn, it was still too conspicuous.The farmer's family is an old couple. There are three rooms in the house, which are quite big enough for Rongzhao and the others to squeeze in.

This old couple is very kind and hospitable, just like the old couple they met in Beiyuan back then.

In the farmyard, there is nothing else to eat, just some millet and coarse grains, and some beans, eggplants and vegetables, all grown by themselves.

The old couple specially made a farm dish. They put corn, beans, potatoes, and radishes together and stewed them in a big pot. It was really delicious.

Rong Zhao insisted on giving them money, but the two of them refused to accept it.It is said that there is no end to eating these things all year round anyway, and it would be a pity to eat more people to save them from having to throw them away in winter.

Rong Zhao saw how determined they were, as if he would buy them something on the street tomorrow and return the money to them.

"You didn't eat the last meal, you are hungry, eat quickly." Rong Zhao put down the food, and handed the bowl and chopsticks to Xiao Junjue.

Xiao Junjue took it, but put it down, he held her hand, "Have you eaten yet?"

Rong Zhao dodged his gaze and said, "I've already eaten."

Xiao Junjue hugged her shoulders, the bones on her shoulders were sharp and her shoulder blades protruded.

"Then you eat some more with me." Knowing that she probably didn't eat again, Xiao Junjue coaxed her in a different way.

"I..." Rong Zhao muttered, she really couldn't eat it.

"If you don't want to eat it, put it aside. I don't have much appetite anyway. If you stay with me, I can eat more." Xiao Junjue used this as an excuse.

Rong Zhao didn't want him to be hungry, so he nodded.

Xiao Junjue smiled at her, and fed her the first mouthful of millet porridge.The millet is golden and looks delicious.Rong Zhao stuttered and took a mouthful. Although it was delicious, it couldn't whet her appetite.

A bowl of millet porridge, Xiao Junjue gave her a bite and ate a bite for himself. After eating, the rice porridge was a bit cold.

Ben also wanted her to eat a la carte and steamed buns, but after only a few mouthfuls, she said she was disgusted and refused to eat anything.Xiao Junjue had no choice but to force her too. Finally, some rice porridge to fill her stomach was better than nothing at all.

"Zhao Zhao, your complexion is very bad recently, why don't you take advantage of these few days to rest in this small town, and I will take you to see a doctor. You just had a miscarriage, and it's too much to run around like this."

Rong Zhao tried his best to smile at him, "Maybe it's because I've been too busy these few days, so I'm a little tired, I'm fine." She didn't want to be weak in front of Xiao Junjue, she knew her body would not be able to hold on any longer. .But at this time, she had to hold on, everyone looked at her, and the Rong family regarded her as a reliance, and seeing that there was still the last hurdle, if they knew that there was something wrong with her body at this time, then everything Her itinerary will be postponed, and she doesn't want to drag anyone down, so she can only support it.

Her strength made Xiao Junjue feel sad, and he held her hand tightly and kissed, "Zhaozhao, when did you become so stubborn? Do you know how much my heart aches when I look at you?"

Rong Zhao stroked his face with a smile, "Junjue, I'm really fine, please trust me."

Xiao Jun had nothing to do with her, hugged her into his arms, and sighed deeply, "Soon, after passing this test, we can go home."

Xiao Junjue's waiting for two days was not in vain, and on the third day, he received a letter from Ye Ying.The letter said that the first two batches of troops had arrived smoothly, and knowing that they were blocked, they had already assembled the troops and set out to Jianmen Pass to help the prince.

Nighthawk marked the time on the letter to send the letter, Xiao Junjue estimated the time, and it will arrive in about a day.

When Xiao Junjue received the letter, he quickly responded to the letter, notifying Nighthawk and Owl, to emit a signal flare as soon as he arrived, and waited for Xiao Junjue's next step to attack, and then attacked Jianmen Pass, attacking from both sides, and broke through Jianmen Pass.

Nighthawk and Night Owl arrived at noon the next day, and in the morning, Xiao Junjue estimated that the time would be about the same, bid farewell to the old farm couple, and started on the road.It was just that before the nighthawk night owl fired the signal flare, it kept hiding in the hiding place and did not start to act until the signal was sent.

"Songbei Songnan." Xiao Junjue called out.

"Subordinates are here."

"The king ordered you two to lead 50 people to sneak into the Jianmenguan camp, take the opportunity to burn the food and grass, release the horses, and create chaos."

"Your subordinates obey." Songbei and Songnan took the order, and Shao Biao and Li Hanyuan also wanted to follow and do their part.But Xiao Junjue said that there are more important tasks for them.Songbei and Songnan selected another fifty people, including brothers from Gushanzhai.

"Then, my lord, what are we two brothers doing? Please explain the task, we will fulfill the mission." Li Han and Shao Biao said eagerly.Seeing that the brothers in Gushanzhai had things to do, the two of them were anxious.

Xiao Junjue patted the shoulders of the two of them, and said: "I will also give you 50 people. If my subordinates attack from inside the pass in a while, the guarding generals will definitely order the city gate to be closed. Your task is not to let the city gate close." .” Looking at the two of them, “Can you two do it.”

The two brothers grinned, bowed their hands towards Xiao Junjue, and vowed: "Thank you, my lord, for your trust. We will do our best to make this city gate open so that it cannot be closed." Shao Biao patted his chest, "I don't care My ability is the strength of the whole body, and I am here, so shamelessly boasting about myself is nothing to do with it."

Xiao Junjue nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, with your words, this king will have more confidence, so you can choose someone too."

Rong Yao stepped forward, "What about me? Brother-in-law, don't underestimate me. I am also a person with martial arts. You have arranged things for others. If you leave me alone, I will feel like a piece of trash. .”

To be honest, Xiao Jun Jue didn't want Rong Yao to be in danger. If Rong Zhao's precious brother was injured, he really couldn't explain to Rong Zhao.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Of course you have a mission. I think these carriages are too conspicuous. Everyone should dress up and mix in the crowd for a while. When things get chaotic, running out with the crowd is less important than riding in a carriage." It attracts attention. And your accusation is to take care of them, and none of them can get away."

Seeing that Rong Yao seemed dissatisfied with this arrangement, maybe he wanted to be like Gu Jinnian and the others, to fight head-on with a sword in order to show his true nature.Xiao Junjue emphasized: "Don't underestimate this matter. If you want to protect them without being discovered, you have a great responsibility. Our purpose is to escort them out of customs. Think about it, your How important is the mission."

Rong Yao thought for a while, and although he felt something was wrong, he felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said, and scratched his head, "Okay then." He cupped his hands, "Don't worry, King Chu, the grass people will complete the task and escort everyone out of the pass safely. .”

Everyone in the Rong family was demoted to common people, and Rong Yao called himself a "grassman", which was a bit self-deprecating.

All the action procedures were ordered out until Songbei Songnan succeeded and sent an action signal.Nighthawk Night Owl saw the signal flare and gave an order to lead the army towards Jianmenguan.

"It's not good, general, a large number of soldiers and horses have been found in the direction of Shu." A soldier in the observation shed saw the appearance of a densely packed army, and hurried to the tower to report, and shouted in panic, "We are on the verge of closing, kill them!"
