At the hour of You, Xiao Feng and Wan Zhijing each led a team of people up the mountain from two mountain paths along Yanyun Path. Gu Changlin and the large group of people covered their heads and bodies with a layer of grass, lurking in the mountains waiting for the signal from Xiao Feng and Wan Zhijing.
As for Wan Jinlan, he was following Xiao Feng closely at this moment, with a crossbow on his waist.
The path that Xiao Feng had explored was already familiar to him. The large bag of dragon claw powder had been thrown into the water source within the Yanyun Trail. Although the medicinal effect would be diluted a lot, it would still make people's hands and feet weak and their whole body powerless. After all, the bag weighed twenty kilograms.
Today, General Guo took a concubine. Less than 10% of the soldiers in the entire Yanyun Pass were able to drink this "wedding wine". The ordinary soldiers all stayed honestly on Changyuan.
Everyone had grass rings on their heads and a lot of grass wrapped around their bodies. Although the mountain was not easy to climb, it could not stop those who were nimble and agile.
Wan Jinlan followed Xiao Feng to climb up the high wall inside Changyuan. There was a corpse ten feet away. A long nail pierced into the flesh in the throat. The man didn't even have time to make a sound before he died.
A soldier was walking towards this side with a gun in hand. When he saw the strange stranger, he was about to pull out the signal tube in his hand. Zhang Baoquan shot the man in the throat with a squint.
In just half a minute, the area within two miles above Changyuan was completely occupied by their men.
I found the place where the wooden board was lifted yesterday, and there were six giant elevators.
But after studying it for a while, I knew how to put it down and pull it up.
The sound of birds chirping was heard, and after the elevator was lowered, General Gu directed people to rush up. Three people shook a long handle together, and after a group of people were transported up, the ladder was lowered again.
The movement here has attracted the attention of the defenders in Yanyunjing. The sound of signal flares, horns and "enemy attack" can be heard in succession on Changyuan.
The terrain of Yanyun Pass is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Only 10,000 troops can protect Yanyun Pass, provided that the enemy cannot attack.
On the long wall that was less than ten feet wide, Xiao Feng took the lead, knocking down one person after another with his spear. Li Mazi surrounded him and was also extremely brave.
Since they had been discovered anyway, there was no need to hide the fire muskets. With the addition of such an invincible weapon, the blocked Changyuan Pass was quickly opened up. The soldiers guarding the Changyuan Pass at Yanyun Pass were terrified.
When being pointed at by the black muzzle of a gun, no one could suppress the fear in their heart.
General Guo, the commander of Yanyun Pass, had just put on his armor when this mansion, which looked like it was built in a fairy mountain, was surrounded.
Guo Ming was completely sober from the alcohol he had drunk earlier. The black muzzle of the gun made his throat tighten. He held the spear but did not dare to make any other moves. He did not see that the soldier he had grabbed to block the gun was lying in front of him. He was wearing armor and his chest was pierced. Smoky black blood was oozing out and his body was still twitching.
On the wall of Gaoling, Fan Du, dressed in armor, with a look of determination and confidence in his eyes, stood on the city wall like a master, waiting for Xiao Feng's troops to arrive.
A fast horse entered the city and soon reached the top of the city wall. "Report, sir, the Liangzhou army took Jun County and rested there, and did not continue to Hua County."
Fan Du looked at the dark sky and frowned.
One general cursed, "Is he trying to bluff us? He was so arrogant before!"
Fan Du asked, "How many troops does the King of Qi have?"
The person who reported back said: "More than 20,000 people."
Fan Du frowned even more tightly.
"It's not easy to fight from Fenzhou to Junxian in two days. We should continue to be vigilant. The Liangzhou army might launch a surprise attack in the middle of the night." said a general.
The next day, when the early morning sun fell on the Changyuan of Yanyun Pass, Wan Jinlan was sleeping soundly in General Guo's "immortal residence".
Although she was always protected by Xiao Feng, she was exhausted after that night.
Xiao Feng was still recruiting personnel and redeploying defense matters, and he was very busy.
The shouts and cries of killing shook the sky all night long, and the flames illuminated the Yanyun Trail, stretching for dozens of miles.
The noise was so loud that even though it happened on the mountain, it spread far away. Within half a day, Fan Du in Gaoling should have received the news.
Most of the Beidi County north of Yanyun Pass is plains, but with this as a barrier, it is only a matter of time to attack the slope.
Standing on Changyuan, with lush forests behind him and steep cliffs below him, he faced Yizhou in the distance and the sky was high and blue. Even though Xiao Feng was tired, he felt boundless passion in his heart.
Gu Changlin came forward with a beaming smile, "Congratulations, Your Highness, for achieving your wish."
Wan Zhijing also smiled and said, "With Yanyun Pass in our hands, even if Jiang Shan leads his troops to come, we can rest easy."
Xiao Feng stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes far away, and shook his head slightly, "We still must not be careless."
When Wan Jinlan woke up, Xiao Feng was sleeping soundly beside her. He slept until the evening. The afterglow of the setting sun made the house look more like a "fairyland".
Speaking of General Guo, he really knew how to enjoy life. He flattened a corner of the hillside and built a large courtyard with five entrances, resembling a village. The flowers, plants and trees inside had a wild charm and looked as if they were carefully planted. Unfortunately, all the koi in the living water introduced into the courtyard died, and those that were still alive were only breathing their last.
Just as she was feeling sorry, Xiao Feng's footsteps appeared behind her, "These fish were poisoned to death because they couldn't stand the medicinal properties of the dragon claw flower."
If Guo Ming had been more careful, he might have been able to discover and prevent it in advance.
"Did you sleep well?"
Wan Jinlan nodded and heard him say again: "There is a hot spring over there, do you want to go and have some fun?"
Wan Jinlan's eyes lit up, and he pointed at General Guo's concubines who were imprisoned in a courtyard, "What should we do with them?"
General Guo knew how to enrich his life at Yanyun Pass. His wife and children were not at Yanyun Pass, leaving only nine young, beautiful women in his compound, none of whom had children. This was because Guo Ming already had eighteen legitimate sons and daughters, along with illegitimate sons and daughters. His wife sent her wet nurse and gave contraceptive medicine to each of his concubines who had served him.
Wan Jinlan looked as if he had just opened his eyes after hearing what the wet nurse said before going to bed.
Xiao Feng glanced at the courtyard guarded by soldiers and said, "Those who have homes to return home will be sent back home. Those who have nowhere to go can be married to our soldiers if they wish."
General Guo's yard was full of beauties, and naturally there were new clothes that had never been worn. Wan Jinlan found a set of outer clothes, and took out the inner clothes from her bag, and prepared to go to the hot spring with great interest.
He slung the bag she was carrying over his shoulder, and pulled her up to walk on the bluestone paved road in the city.
The air in the mountains was filled with the fragrance of green grass. They reached the top of the high wall and stood at the highest point to admire the golden sunset. Looking up, they saw that the sky was illuminated by the sunset and the clouds were dyed with a layer of golden light. The orange light spread across the entire earth and also fell on their faces.
His brows were filled with relaxation. Wan Jinlan sighed, "If I were in the capital, I wouldn't be able to see such a magnificent and charming scene."
She had seen the vast and boundless land of Liangzhou, and had ridden a horse through the lush green mountains and forests. Now, standing on the top of a high peak, watching the magnificent sunset, with the breeze blowing on her face, she felt as if the world was at her feet.
Standing on the top of the mountain at this moment, she could put all the troubles behind her and felt extremely refreshed. If she had stayed in Beijing, she would not have been able to see such a scenery.
Seeing her eyes full of smiles, Xiao Feng put his arms around her and gently rested his chin on her head. "If you like this place, we can come back someday."
