Chapter 124 Leaping over Nanzheng Pass
That night, the silence outside Nanzheng Pass was as usual, with the mountains on both sides occasionally being blown by the mountain wind and the buzzing of insects, it was quite peaceful.
Suddenly, a row of figures followed the angle of the mountain wind, sticking to the surface of the mountain, and swept past.
The withered grass that had been standing upright at this time was also driven by the mountain wind and the figure, and rushed to the ground one after another.
Eventually it was trampled into the dirt, never to be restored.
After the figure passed, everything around him became calm again, as if nothing had happened.
Half an hour later, a rope from west to east streaked across the sky like a meteor, and finally landed steadily on the opposite mountain, entangled among the rocks.
On the top of the mountain on the west side, countless figures gather here.
At this time, each of them was wearing a black suit.Under the cover of the night, it was impossible to see clearly what his appearance was.
While the mountain wind was whistling, only one person was heard asking: "My lord, the matter has been settled! Can I act?"
"Don't ask for speed, but for safety, let's start!"
The respondent's voice was low, and at first glance, he seemed to be an old man, but in fact it was not.
"Here!"
The inquirer responded immediately, and saw that he was the first to climb the rope, holding a piece of wet cloth in his hand, and slid down the mountain along the rope without hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, it started with the inquirer action, and then there began to be an endless stream of people sliding down the mountain along the rope.
It wasn't until dawn that all the figures on the mountain were gone.
In the early hours of the morning, morning light had already appeared on the horizon, and there were only two people left on the mountain.
At this moment, one of them said to the other: "My lord, this trip is full of dangers. Your body, which is worth a fortune, is really not suitable for committing such a dangerous situation by yourself!"
"Han Sheng, don't you want to persuade me to go back again?" Another person asked back.
"The general dare not, the general just wants the lord to be more careful, don't get carried away!" That person explained.
"I'm not in a daze, I'm sober now! Hurry up, the sky is about to dawn, if we delay any longer, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave!"
The other person suddenly took off his mask, took a deep breath, and climbed up the rope first.
"My lord, you will stay later, the last will go first!"
However, the moment that person had just climbed onto the rope, the person wearing the mask took off the mask very simply.
Immediately, he reached out and pulled the person off the rope!
"Does it still have to be divided into one or the other?"
After being torn off the rope, the person who took off his mask earlier couldn't help showing displeasure.
At this time, his expression was exactly the same as that of Du Huo (in fact, he was Du Huo).
"My lord, the general is getting old. If I can't control the direction and hurt you, my lord, it will be troublesome, so let the general go ahead, so that the general can feel a little better in his heart!"
Huang Zhong, who took off his mask, turned his head and smiled at Du Huo. At this moment, his gray beard, his slightly yellowed dies, and the mountains before dawn together constituted an indescribably bleak scene. Picture scroll!
Du Huo glanced at him, then immediately shifted his eyes to other places, and then waved his hand violently: "You first...you first...I won't argue with you!"
"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness!"
Huang Zhong turned his head back with a smile, and then slipped down, never to be seen again.
Not long after, after guessing that Huang Zhong had arrived at the other side of the mountain, Du Huo followed closely and slid down the rope with a wet cloth in hand.
On the other side, the people who had been waiting for a long time in the mountains on the east side, since they received Huang Zhong, all looked forward to Du Huo's arrival!
Tens of seconds later, a blurry black spot suddenly appeared on the distant rope, and then the black spot began to gradually expand, finally showing the outline of a human.
"It's the lord, the lord is here!"
At this time, someone suddenly shouted in the crowd, and immediately after that, everyone's eyes were attracted by Du Huo who was about to arrive.
"Hurry up to meet the lord, the lord will definitely feel tired after a long time of gliding, you must ensure the safety of the lord, and you must not lose anything!"
When Duho is approaching, at the top of the mountain.Immediately, Ma Chao sent more than a dozen soldiers to meet Du Huo in one breath, lest something unexpected happen to Du Huo when he arrived!
"call……"
Later, when Du Huo successfully reached the top of the mountain with the support of many soldiers, his rosy face was filled with unconcealable joy!
After taking a deep breath, Du Huo couldn't help sighing in a deep voice: "It's the first time I've experienced such an exciting thing when I grow up, but it feels good, and I hope to have another chance in the future!"
"My lord, are you alright?"
And at this moment, Ma Chao on the side rushed forward and asked Du Huo with concern.
"It's okay, it's okay...my physical fitness is beyond ordinary people's existence, you are all fine, can I be fine!"
Du Huo smiled disapprovingly, then subconsciously clenched his fists, and showed off his strong physique in front of everyone!
"Yes, yes... My lord's body is truly incomparable! Otherwise, Yide wouldn't have been defeated by my lord that day!"
Taking advantage of Du Huo's words, Wei Yan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly came forward and praised Du Huo!
"Hey...it's been so long, why mention it, no one is allowed to mention it in the future!"
At this time, although Du Huo was complaining, there was always a smile on his face.
Du Huo still enjoys the current pleasant atmosphere of people cheering and praising each other. Although he also hates flatterers, at this moment, he has completely forgotten all that hatred. !
"Okay, let me stop all the useless nonsense! We have only completed the first step now, and there are still many things to do next. Such meaningless words, in my opinion, it is better to wait for this You can talk about it after this matter is over!"
After talking and laughing for a while, the cold mountain wind suddenly made Du Huo wake up from the laughter.
Immediately afterwards, his smile gradually became serious.
"Yes... my lord!"
When Du Huo said this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then quickly adjusted their state and responded in unison.
"Well..." Faced with everyone's response, Du Huo nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Ma Chao and asked, "Meng Qi, now we have arrived here according to the plan! Then, what are we going to do next? What should we do?"
"My lord, the only thing we can do now is to wait in peace!" Ma Chao said.
"What are you waiting for?" Du Huo asked.
"Wait for nightfall!"
"What about after night falls?" Du Huo asked again.
"After the night falls, our army can slide down the mountain in one go, and then with the help of the night, cross Nanzheng Pass and reach the city of Hanzhong!" Ma Chao grinned, his sword eyebrows raised.
