Vol 4 Chapter 1183: Blocked

The team walked for a day at Meridian Road, but it didn't seem to go far.
Blessing is unparalleled, misfortune is not alone.
It was a very painful thing to walk through the meridian road. What was even more painful was that another heavy rain came down at dusk the next day, and the sun was not able to shine in the canyon, but the rain was hit by the needle.
Ji Jin was prepared in advance, so that everyone brought the clothes and hats, people can use the clothes and hats to block the rain, but the road is impossible, and the road soaked by rain is naturally more difficult.
The rain was getting stronger, and Qi Ning saw a rock wall protruding outward in the front, forming a shelter from the rain below, letting everyone rush to the car to avoid the rain first, and then ordered people to distribute dry food.
After taking off the hat, watching the fine curtain-like rain fall from the sky, Qi Ning shook his head slightly.
"Grandpa, the rain here is coming fast, and going fast, don't worry." Ji Jinji only walked in and gave Qi Ning a water bag. "Grandpa drinks some water."
Qi Ning took the water bag and smiled: "Jizhubo is a literati, but this time he has to suffer from this. Is he unsuitable?"
"No." Ji Jin only shook his head: "Here I am grateful to the lord."
"Oh?"
"The humble career has been nearly half a year. Since entering the government, there has been no major work done." Ji Jincai said earnestly: "If you follow Houye this time, you can really get through the Meridian Road. We successfully captured Xianyang. I am afraid that the humble office will also be famous. I do n’t ask for talents for humility, but I always think that my life can only be without a name, but I do n’t want the lord to give such an opportunity to the humility. I am very grateful to the humility. "
Qi Ning smiled and said: "The master Bo of the Ji can think that if there is an omission, not only will it not be able to get through the Meridian Road, I am afraid our lives will not be guaranteed."
Ji Jincai laughed and said, "It's natural to take risks if you want to do big things, but no matter what kind of risks you take this time, it's worth it." We moved closer and whispered: "Grandpa took a look at these brothers, take a look Their look. "
Qi Ning looked around and saw that the soldiers were in groups of three or five, eating dry food, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite cheerful.
Obviously, the difficult journey didn't let everyone's will be depressed, but it was painful.
Before entering the Meridian Road, everyone naturally didn't know the real intention of Qi Ning, and really thought it was going to Xianyang as a mission, but after entering the Meridian Road, Qi Ning had summoned everyone and told everyone the purpose of this trip.
Qi Ning took the lead and acted as a vanguard among the missions to open a passage for the soldiers and horses attacking Xianyang.
Of course he is very clear that to open the narrow path, he ca n’t do it with his own strength. Everyone in this mission cares about the success or failure of the plan, and everyone should work together to conceal the matter. Everyone knew nothing about the plan, so once they acted, even their own people would be lost, so Qi Ning not only told the plan to everyone, but also made a very careful distribution.
"Everyone knows that this time is very dangerous, but Lord Jue will be in battle personally, and he will have a sense of death, and there is no greed in the world." Ji Jincai said with emotion: "And it is everyone's responsibility to be selected by Lord Yee to participate in this operation. Glory is also a great opportunity for everyone to make contributions. Naturally, everyone will not retreat because of the difficult road. "
Qi Ning felt relieved for a while, and said with a smile: "Ji Zhibo, I hadn't fully grasped this action yet, but now I suddenly feel that no matter how many obstructions the Northern Hans have, we can easily wipe it out."
After the rain stopped, everyone also recovered their physical strength and continued to move forward.
After another two days of walking, I finally saw the card whistle set in the narrow road. The Northern Han people had a card whistle on the Meridian Road. The Chu State also set a card whistle.
The card post is located in a very narrow area, and a thick wall made of five or six people is built with giant stones. There are also designations for placing crossbows on the stone wall. Three soldiers take turns guarding day and night, while the other soldiers It is located behind the stone wall, less than 500 meters away from the stone wall. A high watchtower is built, and there are burning torches hanging day and night. Qi Ning knows that the watchtower's function at the card post is abnormal. Importantly, not only can you look far into the narrow road and pay attention to the enemy's situation, but as soon as you find the enemy's intention to attack the card post, the watch tower will ignite the flames.
There are one hundred soldiers in every guard post on Chu's side. In fact, for a small guard post, such a force is even a little bloated.
Qi Ning knew that the guard posts on the other side of the Northern Han Dynasty should be the same as this side, and there should not be much difference. After all, in this narrow path, it is the most reasonable to construct the guard posts in such a pattern.
Knowing yourself and knowing each other can be a battle.
Qi Ning took some time to take a closer look at the guard post on the Chu State. The soldiers who accompanied him also carefully observed it, and roughly understood the situation of the guard post. They stopped here today. One night and the next morning, they set off.
In the past, Qi Ning was still worried about how the giant stone became a wall. How to pass it? At this time, I knew that at the bottom of the stone wall, there are still moving stones. If you use tools to remove the giant stone from the wall, it will show an exit. As soon as a group of people went out of the hole, the guard immediately blocked the hole with giant stones.
Qi Ning thought that the road guarding was so strict. Both Chu and Han have always been dead. The two sides have little trade. It seems that Beitangfeng bypassed Hanzhong to Xianyang and Chai Bozhong went from Xianyang to Jianye, not from here. Passing, should be over the Qinling past, but it took a lot of effort.
The army naturally cannot cross Qinling, but a few people walk lightly, and it is not impossible to cross Qinling.
After walking for less than ten miles, a second whistle appeared again. After Qi Ning passed smoothly, another ten mile away, the last whistle was reached.
Going out from the last post, there is no guarantee ahead, and there may be an ambush from the Northern Hans at any time.
For another day, at dusk, there was finally a whistle ahead. The flag of the Chinese character was floating above the whistle. It was the whistle built by the Northern Han people in the narrow road.
Qi Ning had already known in advance that the Northern Han people only set two checkpoints in this narrow lane, one less than the Chu side. However, the barrier built by the other party with boulders was obviously much higher than the Chu side.
Although there was still a way to go, Qi Ning's eyes were sharp, and he clearly saw a lot of figures appearing on the wall, Zhang bowed his arrow.
When Ji Jin knew that it was time for him to show his role, he raised his hand and the team behind him stopped immediately. Ji Jincai then adjusted his clothes and walked over there alone, while Qi Ning was two steps away and followed Ji Jin before him. .
Approaching the card post, there was already a loud voice at the head of the wall shouting, "Whoever comes, go further and shoot immediately!"
Ji Jin raised his hand and waved a few times to the wall, shouting: "The emissaries of Chu will go to Xianyang to see you!"
The wall was silent for a while, and soon someone saw a slight protruding head and sneered, "Da Chu's messenger? You and our country are at war, are you sending messengers to come to the net?"
"The three princes sent people to our country and entered into a covenant with me." Ji Jincai said loudly: "My Lord misses the loyalty of the three princes and specially sends me to return."
"Covenant?"
"There is an alliance book here!" Ji Jincai said loudly: "I don't know how you call it?"
The man said broadly: "Lao Tzu is the Cao Ying guarding here. You said you are the emissaries of Da Chu. Lao Tzu thinks you are the spies of Da Chu." He pulled out his knife and pointed the blade at Ji Jincai: "Lao Zi's mission, It is to guard here, not to allow a fly of Chu Kingdom to fly over, you quickly hurry back, today I ’m in a good mood, and save your life. "
Qi Ning suddenly stepped forward and took the bow and arrow from behind. Without a word, he shot an arrow at the wall.
When Qi Ning shot an arrow, the archer on the wall didn't think about it, dozens of arrows went straight to Ji Jin before he shot it, but Qi Ning shot an arrow, but quickly pulled out the sword around his waist. He was agile and already protected Ji Jin. Before, the knife flashed, but it opened all the arrows that had been shot.
Qi Ning's arrow shot on the wall, and the remaining energy disappeared. He landed on the ground. Cao Ying glanced and saw Jianganshan wrapped in paper, leaned over and picked it up, and removed the paper ~ EbookFREE.me ~ opened After sweeping his eyes, frowning, raising his hand, the archers stopped immediately.
After a while of silence, Cao Yingcai said to this side: "Are you really the messenger of Chu?"
"We don't know if the three princes have explained to you." Ji Jincai said: "But the confederate book is absolutely not false." Pointing to the carriages behind: "These are all gifts from my lord to the three princes, only I hope to repair it with the three princes. When the three princes conquer Luoyang and become enemies, the two countries will turn their enemies into friends and form good-neighborliness and friendship. General Cao, this matter is about the friendship between our two countries.
That Cao Ying was just a little captain, far from being called a general, but Ji Jin was so called, but it made Cao Ying very useful, his face slowed down, and he pondered for a while before saying: "Now it is wartime, even if If you are a messenger, you should not pass here. The military command is in your body. If a Chu man passes by here, Laozi will lose his head. You are going to Xianyang to see the three princes. In this case, I will let people report Xianyang, only But it can't give you peace of mind. "
"General Cao, we went to Xianyang with the will of the Holy Spirit. Didn't we return without success?" Ji Jincai said in a high voice: "So we really can't return to the emperor."
"How to return the matter, Guan Laozi farts?" Cao Ying didn't have a good air: "If you are sincere, leave all the gifts, I will send a lot of people to Xianyang. As for your people, no one can pass."
Ji Jin turned around and made a wink at Qi Ning. Qi Ning immediately turned around and waved to the team not far behind. Soon, he walked down from the carriage in front of the two beautiful women. Wearing a veil, you can't see the face clearly, but the figure is slim, and in the narrow path of this bird not shit, it instantly attracted the eyes of the soldiers on the wall, all staring at the two women enchanting. It's hard to move away from her body.
