Chapter 460 Rescue

There are many caves in the Xiangkong Mountain, almost the entire mountain is empty, with interconnected caves everywhere. If it is the first time I come in and there is no one to lead the way, it is easy to get lost.

After entering the cave, Wang Ping'an ordered several guards with better martial arts rushed to the front, not holding a torch in their hands. Whenever they encountered a bend at the corner of the cave, they would shoot arrows to explore the way to prevent robbers from ambushing around the corner.

Behind it was Wang Ping'an taking the map to lead the way. The guards found some torches in the cave, lit them and followed Wang Ping'an. Whenever they arrived at the fork in the road, Wang Ping'an would shout loudly, asking the guards exploring the way forward to shoot arrows to ensure the safety of the brigade.

As we marched along the way, we encountered many robbers on the way. When the robbers saw the brigade of officers and soldiers entering the mountain from here, they did not dare to stop them. When they saw them from afar, they fled. In addition to the robbers, they also encountered many Turkic soldiers. When the Turkic soldiers saw Wang Ping'an, they gathered together and rushed into them with him!

Having almost no effective resistance, Wang Ping'an rushed to the central cave, which was outside the big cave where Qu Zhisheng lived. As soon as he rushed to the entrance of the big cave, someone shouted loudly inside, and then arrows shot in!

Qu Zhimao was hugged by a group of hardcore subordinates. Looking at the entrance of the cave, he was very angry. He had all kinds of unexpected situations, but he didn't count on the wrong person!

Tonight, he lay down early and wanted to maintain his strength. He probably would have the two messengers sent back at dawn tomorrow. He had to think carefully about what to do next. But not long after he lay down, a small minion came to report that the fire was raised at the pass and the officers and soldiers were coming!

Qu Zhimao was shocked. The officers and soldiers were crazy. They knew that they had hostages in their hands and dared to attack. Could it be that they didn’t want Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu to survive?

He immediately ordered his robbers to prepare for the battle. The gang of robbers in the Xiangkongshan was full of 1,200,300 minions. Although most of them had little combat power, they were better at familiarizing themselves with the terrain and gaining advantage in the territory.

The robbers picked up their weapons and blocked several important exits. After a while, the two messengers ran back. They were Qu Zhimao's hardcore death warriors, so they naturally would not betray him. After they ran back, the messenger told Qu Zhimao that Wang Ping'an, Gu Lantian, and the governor of Guazhou, the three of them arrived together and led an army of nearly two thousand people to encircle and suppress the mountain!

Qu Zhimao was shocked and angry, and hurriedly asked the government army why they were so bold. Are they not afraid that Fang Xuanling would lose his life because of this?

The messenger made Wang Ping'an fool, and in turn, Wang Ping'an also fooled them! The messenger told Qu Zhimao that he had captured the wrong person. The two people he captured and the guards were not real Fang Xuanling at all, but a substitute. Fang Xuanling used the golden cicada to escape the shell and was in the city of Zheliu County. When he was sending rice in the city, he heard that they were still receiving thanks from the people on the castle!

Qu Zhimao was stunned. No wonder Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu were so easy to catch. They were stupid and did not stay at Yumen Pass, but insisted on going to Guazhou. This was unreasonable. It turned out to be a substitute. This was really unexpected!

Wang Ping'an, Wang Wendu and Gu Lantian snatched military power, and Fang Xuanling was messing around. Of course, Qu Zhimao could not know about this kind of thing. At that time, he thought that Fang Xuanling and the others were particularly easy to catch, and he encountered a good thing about the pie falling from the sky. But now, it seems that they are indeed a substitute. Otherwise, Fang Xuanling would have nothing to do and not stay at Yumen Pass, so why would he run to Guazhou?

After figuring this out, Qu Zhimao screamed and was furious, and ordered the officers and soldiers to see them! Xiankongshan had never been surrounded by officers and soldiers, and the terrain was complex, so he thought it could still be resisted. According to normal thinking, the official army had never been willing to exert its efforts to suppress bandits. If the casualties were too large, they would almost just shout and withdraw their troops!

After a while, Su Ding led his troops into the mountains and fought fiercely with the robbers at the main entrances of the cave. Qu Zhimao once again predicted that the government army was indeed unwilling to do his best to suppress the bandits. If the soldiers from various counties came, they would indeed retreat when the casualties were serious. But this time they were not ordinary government troops, but Turkic soldiers!

Su Dingfang would not care about the lives and deaths of the Turkic soldiers. He didn't care whether the casualties were serious or not. He waved his sword to attack the back and ordered the Turkic soldiers to attack with all their might. If anyone retreated, he would be beheaded in front of the formation and would never be spared!

The Turkic soldiers dared not retreat. Besides, the ones they picked out were all elite soldiers. Not many of them would be afraid of death. Even if they were fighting against the Tang Dynasty's army, they would not necessarily escape, let alone just fight a group of robbers!

After several fierce charges, the Turkic soldiers suffered heavy casualties, but the robbers suffered even greater casualties. The Turkic soldiers did not collapse. The robbers collapsed first and lost several important caves in a row. The position continued to move backwards, and they were about to retreat to the big cave!

Qu Zhimao was even more anxious, but at this moment, a team of officials emerged from the remote cave entrance. I don’t know how they found the way, but they actually entered the Dayan Cave!

Qu Zhimao shouted: "Use the train to block the entrance of the cave, hurry up!"

The robbers hurriedly pushed out several broken cars. There were bundles of dry firewood and large bags of dry hay on the car. After the temporal oil was dropped, they lit the broken car and pushed it to the entrance of the cave to seal the large cave!

It is known that Xiangkong Mountain can no longer be defended. Qu Zhimao made a quick decision and fled from the big cave from behind with his men, searching for a secret passage to escape from the mountain!

When the place where he entered the cave caught fire, the guards retreated one after another and shouted, "Master, you can't attack. Those big trucks are stuck in the cracks of the rocks. You can't push them away with weapons alone!"

Wang Ping'an took the map, took the fire, looked carefully, and said, "If you don't walk from here, there will be a road, but it seems to be quite difficult to walk!"

He turned around and asked Huizheng: "The black line you drew is also a road, but why is it a straight line?"

Hui Zheng looked at the map and shook his head and said, "The local people I asked at that time were not clear. They only knew that there was a road here, but they couldn't explain how to walk it, but there must be such a road!"

Wang Ping'an nodded and pointed to another cave entrance. The cave entrance was narrow and black, and the gust of wind was very different from other cave entrances. However, looking at the map, it leads directly to the bottomless pit, and it was drawn in a straight line!

With a wave of his hand, Wang Ping'an said: "Let's walk this road and explore the way!"

Several guards lit the arrows, opened their bows and shot them into the cave, illuminating them, and saw that the cave seemed to extend downwards and was not flat.

Wang Ping'an shouted, "The cave downward, that's right. It must lead to the bottomless cave!" With a wave of his hand, the guards rushed into the cave and ran forward. He walked in the middle of the crowd, took the map, and trotted.

This dark cave is very long, but fortunately it is the same as the one drawn on the map, with a straight line with no bends in it. When you walk a long way, you feel that the wind in the cave is getting stronger and stronger and more gloomy!

Di Renjie followed Wang Ping'an and whispered: "Brother, why does this cave give people a feeling that it seems to lead to hell!"

"Have you been to hell?" Wang Ping'an turned around and asked.

Di Renjie uttered and said, "Of course I haven't been there. If I have been there, can I still come back alive!"

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "How did you know that it is the one who leads to hell? This is nonsense!" He talked and kept his feet talking!

He ran away a long way again, and suddenly heard a guard in front of him screaming, and then another guard started shouting! A guard let go of his throat and shouted: "Stop, stop, stop, don't squeeze forward, there is an abyss in front!"

Wang Ping'an and others stopped quickly, held the torch and looked forward. Unfortunately, there was light around them, but it was pitch black in the distance. Instead, they could not see anything and could only hear the sound.

I heard some guards shouting, "Hold on, don't let go!"

Some guards shouted, "Who is so unethical and throwing things down? There are people on top and some people hanging on top!"

Wang Ping'an quickly moved forward, pushed the guard away, and came to the place where he was shouting in front. At the end of the cave, there was a dark open space in front, but it was not an open space, but a deep cave that could not be seen at the bottom, as if it was a well. The cave they were walking on was above the wall of the well, five or six feet away from the top of the deep cave!

At the edge of the cave entrance, the guards hugged each other one by one, and the few people in front were still lying on the ground, as if they were pulling people up.

Wang Ping'an shouted: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

A guard turned around and said, "I ran a little faster just now. The brother in front of me did not hold him up and fell from the hole. Fortunately, he was better at it. He grabbed the stone outside the hole and was climbing up. We were pulling him!"

Wang Ping'an said: "Okay, just don't really fall!" He looked up along the gaps of the crowd. Because the entrance of the cave was too small, he couldn't see anything. In a moment, the guard who had run first was pulled up.

As soon as the guard came up, he shouted: "There are people hanging on it, and there are several big baskets, I can see clearly!"

Wang Ping'an ran to the entrance of the cave. The guards were afraid that he would fall, so a guard took off his belt and asked him to grab it. Wang Ping'an looked up and saw a faint light emitted from the wall of the cave. He could see clearly that there were a few black things hanging on it. It was a big basket, but it was impossible to tell!

He shouted upwards: "Hey, is there anyone above? Is it Fang Xiangye?"

This is the bottomless pit, and the black things on it are naturally a big basket, Fang Xuanling is sitting in the basket!

Fang Xuanling shouted downwards: "Yes, I am here, but are you sick?" He was a little exhausted now, and the voice was not loud enough. He just heard someone shouting below and threw down the water bottle.

There was light on it and dark below. He could not see Wang Ping'an at all. He could only judge that there was someone below based on his voice, and it seemed that it was Wang Ping'an!

Wang Ping'an was overjoyed when he heard Fang Xuanling's voice. Finally, he found the old man Fang. He was really a big trouble. He tried to find trouble for himself! He shouted: "Prince Fang, please be calm, please send someone to save you!"

He turned around and asked, "Who is good at climbing high? Now you have the credit to make you stand up. If anyone rescues Fang Xiangye and becomes successful in the future, he will not be able to stop him!"
