Chapter 161 Crisis in Shushan Mountain

Shushan.

An ancient force located in the mountains existed before Qin destroyed Bashu. For thousands of years, the Shushan clan has lived and thrived here.

The mountains are green and beautiful, and there is an open valley deep in the mountains of Bazhong.

The environment here is beautiful and wooden houses are built in groups. You can see mountain people coming and going everywhere, with smiles on their faces. The sound of gurgling streams flowed down from the mountains in the distance, and a girl dressed in foreign clothes was washing by the river.

As the white and slender feet swayed slightly in the water, the dazzling silver ornaments unique to the foreign race on the girl's head made a slight sound, and they made a ringing sound when they collided with each other, which was sweet and moving.

The girl's face is painted with colorful patterns, and there is a wild beauty in her delicacy. She looked at the fish in the water, looking so at ease, and suddenly smiled. What was she thinking?

"Xiao Yu, the elder calls you."

"Got it!" The woman named Xiao Yu gently put on the show shoes she bought from the mountain, thanked the visitor, and headed towards the mountains in the distance.

The long mountain road is winding and winding. There is only one way up the mountain, but there are many forked roads. If you are not familiar with the terrain here, you may easily get lost in the vast mountains.

Xiao Yu walked through the familiar curves and walked into the mountains step by step. The girl's physical strength is very good, but this long road seems a bit too long for a strong adult man.

However, when the girl walked towards her final destination, under a huge ancient red-leaf tree on the top of the mountain, she didn't even take a breath.

Under the ancient tree, a group of people had gathered with an old man in white as the center. With the arrival of Xiao Yu, all the people the old man wanted to summon have arrived.

The crutch in his hand was slightly leaning on the ground, and he looked at the men and women from the clan in front of him. Said: "Today, I summoned all your Yu Yuan guards because of one thing. The prince of Qin led an army of 50,000 and has passed the Golden Ox Road and is about to enter the Bazhong boundary."

"What are they here for?"

In front of Xiao Yu, a strong man asked.

"The purpose is obvious, it is for Shushan."

Xiao Yu's brother Yu Ziqi said, being at the front of the team.

"That's right." Regarding Yu Ziqi's statement, the elder nodded and agreed.

"Before, the empire sent envoys several times, but we never got a satisfactory answer. It seems that Emperor Qin's patience has finally run out."

"They are too overbearing. We just didn't agree to their conditions of surrender, so they sent troops to attack us!"

"What are you afraid of? When have we, the guards of Yu Yuan in Shushan, ever been afraid of others?"

…

Among Yu Yuan's guards, there were either insults or disdain...

The elder looked at the excited crowd, shook his head, and said: "It is meaningless to discuss these things at this moment. Emperor Qin has been coveting our clan's sacred objects for a long time. This time, I am afraid that a catastrophe will come to me in Shushan." The elder said. His face was full of sadness. It seemed that he was not sure that he could let Shushan survive the Qin army's menacing attack this time.

After listening to the elder's words, the scene instantly turned cold. Yu Ziqi asked: "How much power can we still use now?"

"There are about three thousand guards in Shushan, and the number of nearby mountain people who are willing to help us is estimated to be more than 20,000," the elder said.

"That's enough!" Yu Ziqi said firmly.

Looking at the confident Yu Ziqi, the elder asked: "Ziqi, what can you do?"

Yu Ziqi smiled: "The Qin army swept across the world without any rivals, which is certainly powerful. However, the situation in Bazhong is different. The mountains are dangerous, the people are strong, and the nearby terrain is complex. There are many forked roads, small roads, and even the local People are not very clear. I assert here that fighting in the mountains is not the strength of the Qin Army. Therefore, we should give full play to our advantages, harass them, attack them, and bypass them to avoid frontal combat. Push the Qin Army Retreating is the right way."

Although Yu Ziqi lived in Shushan since he was a child, he has always been interested in the art of military strategy. He is indeed very talented in this area. As one of the top generals under Xiang Yu, his military talents have begun to show up now.

After Yu Ziqi said this, the elder nodded in agreement.

"But there is still another trouble." Xiao Yu's clear voice sounded, and everyone's eyes focused on her.

This was the first time that Xiao Yu spoke formally on such an important occasion. She was a little awkward in her words and said: "Yin Yang Family."

Just now, everyone's attention was on Qin Jun. After Xiao Yu reminded them, everyone suddenly realized.

yes! In addition to the Qin army, there is also the Yin and Yang family.

The Yin and Yang family is a nightmare that hangs over the heads of all the forces in the world. Their methods are cruel and their tactics are weird, making it difficult for people to guard against them.

The important thing is that they have become stronger and stronger over the years with the help of the empire.

Among the hundreds of schools of thought, only the Yin and Yang family is the most troublesome to the people of Shushan. In a way, the inheritance of their two families is very similar. They are both successors of the ancient King Chi You. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have the same origin.

To outsiders, the witchcraft in Shushan is mysterious and weird. But from the perspective of the Yin Yang family, it is a trick that can be cracked easily.

This is still disadvantageous for Shushan.

"We still don't know how many troops the Yin Yang Family has dispatched this time. The left and right guardians of the Yin Yang Family, the five elders, Shushan is not without the ability to deal with it."

The white-haired old man looked at the ten Yu Yuan guards at the front, and even Yu Ziqi was not among them.

"You are all the strong men of our clan. I leave this task of resisting the Yin Yang Family to you."

"We will definitely not disappoint the elders' expectations." All ten people knelt on one knee and said.

Red fallen leaves were fluttering, and Xiao Yu looked longingly at Yu Yuan, the strongest guard who was at the front among the ten people. Looking at the other party's resolute and handsome face, the girl's eyes were full of confidence and expectation.

"Okay, you go down and get ready! Practice hard and recharge your batteries to deal with any emergencies that may arise next." The elder said to the ten Yu Yuan guards.

"Yes, elder."

"Zi Qi."

"Here!" Yu Ziqi said with his hand.

"I will hand over to you the command of the three thousand guards of Shushan and the more than 20,000 nearby mountain people. I will leave it to you to deal with the Qin army this time."

"Yes, elder."

The elders gave instructions one by one, no matter how detailed they were. Yu Yuan's guards also walked away one by one, and finally only Xiao Yu was left.

"Xiao Yu." The elder looked at the girl, his eyes full of love.

"Grandpa Elder." Xiao Yu stepped forward to support the old man and said respectfully.

The old man turned around, looked at the huge Fuso tree, and said, "Xiao Yu, I have something I need you to do."

"Grandpa Elder, am I lacking some abilities?" Xiao Yu said worriedly before the old man finished speaking.

"I know that you failed last time. However, this is not your fault. Listen, what I am going to say next is very important, you must keep it in mind."

"Yes!" Xiao Yu nodded respectfully.

A long cry appeared in the sky, and a three-legged golden crow flew from a distance and landed on the sacred tree.

The two of them bowed to the three-legged Golden Crow, and the old man continued: "Once things fall into the worst situation. Xiao Yu, I hope you can leave here. Leave here with the last seeds of our Shu Mountain."

"What? Could it be that Brother Weiluo and the others can't resist the Qin army?" Xiao Yu said in surprise. The brother Guiluo the girl calls is the leader of the ten most powerful Yu Yuan guards.

"No, it's far from enough." The old man shook his head. He just talked about boosting morale, but the old man did not express his true thoughts.

That is, relying on the power of Shushan to fight against the empire is not enough. The old man's knowledge is not comparable to that of Yu Yuan's guards who have never been out of the mountains.

He knows how big this world is. The Qin army swept across the world, and the enemies of the empire fell one by one. Among them, there are many masters who are more powerful than the Yu Yuan guards in Shushan. There are also forces more powerful than Shushan.

Although Yu Ziqi's suggestion was correct, it could only delay things for a while. The old man still had a simple understanding of Emperor Qin, who had never been masked before. He was a man who would never give up until he achieved his goal.

And Shushan was just an insignificant blocker in front of his huge empire. For Emperor Qin, he was even worse than the mantis.

The old man sighed and said: "Xiao Yu, you have to remember. There are some things in this world that are more important than life, and they are worthy of our whole life to stick to and protect."

"What is that?" the girl asked, her eyes full of confusion.

"For us in Shushan, guarding Yu Yuan's seal is the greatest meaning of our existence. But for you? What is it? Only you can find it yourself in the future." The old man touched the girl's head and said with a smile.

"You go down!"

The old man looked at the girl's retreating figure and said, "Xiao Yu, Shushan's last hope may fall on you."

…

"I'll go, what are you writing about?" Ying Ziyi looked at the food in the lacquer box on his desk, and looked at Xiao He in surprise.

Cockroaches, scorpions, centipedes. Could my food be any more spooky?

"Your Highness, didn't you ask our sisters to find some local specialties for you?" Xiaohe said aggrievedly.

"Okay!" Ying Ziyi vaguely remembered that he seemed to have said these words before. However, looking at the food placed in front of him, is this all there is in the land of Shu in Bazhong?

"No! We asked the locals and they said there are many specialties here. However, these are the most distinctive."

Under Xiao He's service, Ying Ziyi reluctantly ate a centipede. "Hey! It's quite delicious."

"Is that what I'm saying? We've all tasted it before, and the food tastes really good." Xiaohe said with some pride.

"Your Highness, the Yin Yang family has arrived." While Ying Ziyi was eating, the guard outside the tent reported.

"Let them wait for me in the general's tent."

Ying Ziyi smiled and said.
