Chapter 245 Being 'hijacked'
Hidden moments,
Jiang Yue said: "If we go in openly, we might be met with a hail of arrows. We have no choice but to pretend to be one of them."
It goes without saying that even if they are dressed like ordinary people now, it is impossible for them to enter the city normally.
Disguising as an enemy is too risky.
Jiang Yue knew just by thinking about it that Liangzhou City must be heavily guarded now.
Zhang Yan: "Let's go see if there are any passing vehicles nearby and blend into their group. We can enter the city in disguise and create an opportunity."
Apart from this method, he couldn't think of any other way.
What Jiang Yue thought was also what Zhang Yan thought.
Jiang Yue: "You can give this method a try."
The two men looked at each other and nodded, then retreated step by step, avoiding the enemy's secret sentries and moving away from the Liangzhou city wall.
Then, they began to walk stealthily along the outer edge of the city wall.
After searching for a long time, they did not see any vehicles entering the city. They waited until midnight but still did not see any.
They did find quite a few villages.
Come to think of it, how could it be such a coincidence?
However, Jiang Yue firmly believes that such an opportunity certainly exists.
As night fell, the two had to continue looking for a place to rest.
During the search, they kept an eye on the surroundings to see if there were any suspicious people, but they didn't see even a shadow.
"Let's go to the village ahead." Zhang Yan said as he looked at a village not far away.
Jiang Yue nodded and walked quickly with Zhang Yan.
After approaching, Jiang Yue and Zhang Yan looked at it carefully.
"This village has been abandoned for a long time."
Zhang Yan: “It has been abandoned for ten years.”
Of course he knew that not only this village had been abandoned for ten years, but all the villages had been abandoned for ten years. At this moment, he was just hoping to meet some survivors by chance.
The two came to a thatched cottage and pushed the door open.
Just as I imagined, the interior was in a mess, the bed was falling apart, and there were cobwebs everywhere.
Then I checked another one and it was the same.
After searching several more houses, we found that in some farmyards, there were still white corpses of several people in the family.
Judging from the appearance and posture of the corpse, it was obvious that he was tortured to death by the enemy.
Everything around suddenly became eerie.
Even though it had been ten years, Jiang Yue still clearly felt the inhumane and outrageous scene that had occurred.
"You can't enjoy a normal life when you are alive, and you can't be buried in peace after you die."
Jiang Yue was filled with anger. Even though the common people were powerless, they were still willing to kill them all.
"Once this place is recovered, everything will be fine." Zhang Yan was also resentful, but this was the only way he could comfort himself at this moment.
What war brings to the people living in border areas is destruction.
Wherever they went,
Except for the lonely city of Liangzhou, the surrounding villages were all empty.
"Let's continue living in the cave tonight," said Zhang Yan.
Of course, people cannot live in such a place.
In this way, Jiang Yue and Zhang Yan continued to look for a cave to spend the night.
They searched in the dark in the nearby forests.
In the nearby forests,
Apart from the winding mountain roads, there are only messy bushes, and caves are not always easy to find.
The two walked a little further, but still couldn't find a place to stay for the night.
Then use the sky as your canopy and the earth as your bed.
They found a dense bush and prepared to look for some dry grass.
Just started searching,
But suddenly, they found two pairs of eyes staring at them nearby.
Even though they didn't see it, they felt it.
Suddenly, two men rushed out from the surrounding forest.
When they saw Jiang Yue and the other two at this moment, it was like seeing a long-lost prey.
"Finally, I met some plainclothes civilians!" After seeing a living person, the person who spoke had an inexplicable surprise in his tone.
Another person echoed,
"That's right, it's a once-in-a-millennium opportunity."
"..."
While they were looking at Jiang Yue and Zhang Yan, the two were also looking at them.
Although it was night, Jiang Yue could see clearly because of the moonlight.
The two of them were one tall and one short, and the first one to speak was the tall man.
They were covered in animal skins from head to toe.
Their hair was disheveled and draped behind their heads, and at first glance, they looked like wild men in the mountains.
Jiang Yue thought to herself, will they eat people?
Sure enough, the short man looked at her face and almost drooled.
"This boy doesn't look very old, and his skin and meat must be very delicious."
After he finished speaking, he said with regret: "It's a pity that she's not a woman."
Jiang Yue couldn't help but clench her fists, but she managed to hold back.
The tall man looked at Zhang Yan's appearance carefully.
"Take it back, our boss will definitely like it."
Jiang Yue couldn't help but cough. Zhang Yan's gentle and elegant appearance...
Is their boss a man or a woman?
So quickly, both of them were targeted at the same time?
And also to be used as food.
It seems that all the prey nearby has been cleared out by them.
Jiang Yue guessed that they didn't dare to show up during the day and had to come out to find food at night.
She looked at Zhang Yan.
Then I saw that his cheeks were as gloomy as water.
Zhang Yan's gaze remained unchanged, but his mind was racing.
Jiang Yue guessed that these two people were either the remaining civilians nearby or people from the enemy country. Of course, she hoped it was the former.
At this time, Zhang Yan asked:
"Are there any Northern Yan troops around here?"
This question disrupted the thoughts of the tall and short man.
Instead of being afraid of them, these two men asked about the whereabouts of the Northern Yan army.
"Who are you?!" The tall man's eyes became sharp when he asked this.
Zhang Yan: "Ordinary people just want to avoid them to avoid losing their lives."
"How confused would ordinary people be to know that they would come to such a desolate place? I'm afraid they are spies from Northern Yan!"
The tall man finished speaking, and the short man continued to agree.
"Of course it is. They are here to explore the way. We cannot let them succeed!"
At the same time, the expressions on their faces became tense.
Jiang Yue was speechless. This scene made her think of Captain Wang Quan.
If she said no, the two of them would certainly have more reasons to justify themselves.
Zhang Yan sneered. He never expected that he and Jiang Yue would encounter such a thing.
"So it seems that there are often enemy troops around here?"
"Take him back!" The tall man said these three words and first approached Zhang Yan.
The short man followed and clamped Jiang Yue...
Zhang Yan waved his hand, blocking both of them from entering.
"Misunderstanding!" He really didn't want to explain.
"Misunderstanding?" The tall man glanced dangerously at Zhang Yan and Jiang Yue again.
"If it's really a misunderstanding, then that would be the best."
In an instant, Jiang Yue and Zhang Yan were held hostage by the two men.
They looked like they were powerless.
Jiang Yue didn't say anything throughout the whole process. The tall and short men just thought that she was young and might have been frightened by their ferocious looks.
In this way, Jiang Yue and Zhang Yan were forced to move forward.
Turning left and right, the two of them were a little dizzy.
The two men in front of him were very cautious, and they did it on purpose. They didn't want to let a wolf into the house.
However, they felt that Jiang Yue and the other two would definitely not be able to get out of this forest.
Finally, after half an hour, a mountain village came into view.
