Chapter 485 If there is no accident, it will be an accident(2/2)
"Now is a critical period. Only by uniting oneself can we overcome difficulties. Before the enemy arrives, we will fight internally first. I am afraid that we will hit the other party's plan!"
Walking by the foot of Tianliang Mountain, I finally arrived at the cave.
After leaping for more than ten feet, not only can we accommodate everyone, but we can even pull carriages and horses into the cave.
Seeing that the Tianliang horse thief did not chase after him, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Rest well and wait until tomorrow to recover, and find a way to leave this ghost place.
According to the guide, this cave is a place where hunters in the mountains use to rest when hunting. There is dry firewood in the mountains and a pond not far away. However, the water surface has frozen and can be chiseled ice to collect water. It is already dark, and everyone has started to make fires and cook, three or five groups, boil boiling water, and gather together to cook.
Several convoy leaders gathered together to discuss tomorrow's route.
Although Fan Xiaodao was not among the invitations, the cave was so big that he sat not far away and was considered half of the attendees.
Although there were ups and downs today, fortunately, the horse thieves did not take action, which was a blessing in disguise.
At first, they all blamed Xu Jianxing for being reckless, but now they have to rely on their martial arts and dare not perform too much. Xu Jianxing showed disdain, such a bullshit, but he was just a fool of himself. If he met them again, I would cut melons and vegetables with one sword, two swords and one pair!
The guide used branches to draw a topographic map of the Tianliang Mountain area and made a sand table with stones. Although it was a bit simple, it looked clear at first glance. Tianliang horse thieves usually lurked on the avenue. For example, this path, except for the locals, few people walked on it, and usually there would be ambushings here.
The guide pointed to the sand table and said to everyone: "The sun is short now, and you will set off tomorrow as soon as the day is dawn. If you travel for several days, you can cross Tianliang Mountain in the evening and stay in Shanyin for one night. If you go there again, you can arrive in Tianliang City before sunset."
The road of one day was a detour, but it turned out to be three days.
Although it is a bit detour, the advantage lies in safety.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Fan Xiaodao said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it's time for an accident."
Xu Jianxing glared at him, "What do you mean?"
Fan Xiaodao pointed outside the cave and someone shouted, "It's snowing!"
When everyone came to the entrance of the cave, they saw snowflakes as big as goose feathers slowly falling from the sky.
There was a dead silence in the cave.
When walking, I am most afraid of rain and snow.
The key is that they are still in the territory of the horse thief. After this heavy snow, it is even harder to walk, so they are afraid they will be trapped here.
Everyone looked at Duan Tiande, "What should I do now?"
Duan Tiande pondered: "Actually, there is another choice."
“What choice?”
"Tomorrow morning, we will return to the same road and return to Chemayi. When the weather is getting better, we will set off again. Although it is a little late, we can at least protect the safety of people and goods."
Everyone was also in a tangle.
Duan Tiande's proposal is indeed the best choice now.
Seeing the snow, it was snowing for another night, and rushing through the mud. It was like a fool to cross Tianliang Mountain from a small road.
Duan Yunpeng said at this time: "Not necessarily. It's a snowy night now. I think the horse thieves will not commit crimes in such ghost weather, right? If we accidentally go back and rush around overnight, the official road is spacious and you can run horses. Maybe we can cross the horse thief's territory before dawn or before the snow stops."
With this move, everyone called for a clever plan.
Yes, when a horse thief acts, it depends on the calendar, right?
Who would have thought that they would rush to the road overnight?
Duan Yunhong also gave Duan Yunpeng a thumbs up, "How did Brother think of this method?"
Duan Yunpeng said: "I was also inspired by Zhuge Liang's six trips to Qishan and concealed the world."
Some people also raised concerns, "If someone followed the other party and found our traces?"
Xu Jianxing said: "If you want to fight, then fight!"
Everyone argued over this suggestion, and finally voted to decide. Although Duan Yunpeng's plan was risky, it was worth a try. It was better than being trapped here and waiting to die.
Thinking of this, the caravan company sent an order, eating and drinking, preparing hot water, and rushing overnight to come to smuggle Tianliang Mountain!
The group of people re-built the horse and prepared to turn it back.
Sure enough, as Fan Xiaodao said, if nothing unexpected happens, it is time for an accident.
An explosion came from the top of the mountain.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of the earth shaking mountains came.
Tiger rocks slid from the top of the mountain.
Everyone hid in the cave, watching the huge rocks rolling and falling in front of them. After half an incense stick, the sound gradually became smaller. When they went out to check, outside the cave, there were huge pits everywhere. The road they came when they came, had been completely blocked by the stones that had slipped off the top of the mountain.
