Chapter 30: A Clever Plan to Escape Trouble (Seeking Recommendations)

  "Ah!"

  Ferré and they screamed, just about to come up to rescue, where did they come from, only to stare blankly at Kant falling down the cliff.

  Such a high cliff, if Kant fell down, even with 100 lives would be finished, Ferry and the others' hearts sank straight down.

  "It's all over! It's all over!"

  Kangde knew he was out of luck, closed his eyes in pain and waited for the arrival of death.

  But just as he was about to give up, he felt a sudden pain, as if he had bumped into something hard, and it happened to be exactly what he needed, causing him to let out a loud cry of agony.

  "Am I going to die now?"

  Kangde thought he was done for and would surely die.

  "Hands up!"

  Just then, a low voice sounded, and Kant opened his eyes to see Li Changguo's right hand stretching out towards him. Without thinking, he stretched out his own hand and grasped Li Changguo's strong right hand, feeling a sense of security wash over him.

  "Get up!"

  Li Changguo let out a low shout and with a surge of strength in his right hand, Kang De flew up like a cloud and landed safely.

  "This...". Kant was stunned and didn't know what had happened until Ferre and the others came forward, supporting him to one side, before he finally understood.

  It was at a critical moment that Li Changguo threw the long spear in his hand and inserted it into the ice cliff, and he crashed onto the long spear, stopping his fall. Li Changguo stepped on the cliff and rescued him just in time.

  "Bang! Bang!"

  Kant's heart was racing, his face pale as if he had been buried in the earth, without a trace of blood.

  He has been through the Ghost Gate Pass, and no matter how brave he is, he must have been frightened.

  "Thanks to Li Xianfeng for saving my life!" Kang De rushed to thank Li Changguo.

  "Never mind!" Li Changguo waved his hand to stop him.

  "What a huge glacier!"

  Just then, a loud noise like thunder was heard, and Li Siye arrived with his troops.

  "Heavens! Such a huge glacier!"

  "Are we going through here?"

  "Will this pass?"

  As soon as the Tang army arrived, everyone was shocked and amazed, their mouths wide open, with extremely exaggerated expressions.

  "Brother, have you inquired?" Li Siye strode over and asked Li Changguo.

  Li Changguo shook his head and said, "Still investigating!"

  "Let me try!" Li Siye took a look at the glacier, full of confidence, and said: "As for bravery, who in the Anxi Protectorate can surpass me? Even you, brother, may not be able to beat me!"

  As he spoke, he strode towards the glacier, his footsteps swift and light, looking as if this were not a glacier path but a broad highway.

  "Be careful!"

  Li Changguo reminded him that with Li Siye's skills, there shouldn't be a problem, and he wasn't worried either.

  "Got it!" Li Siye responded with a sentence, came to the glacier, lifted his foot and walked up, took a few steps, and smiled: "This is not difficult to walk! Not difficult!"

  They proceeded cautiously forward, walking for over a dozen zhang without incident. Kang De and the others watched with great excitement, thinking that Li Siye would make it through.

  But at this moment, a sudden change occurred. Li Siye looked down the cliff and let out a sharp cry: "Ah!"

  A shrill cry was like thunder, shaking people's eardrums buzzing.

  "Not good!"

  Li Changguo knew something was wrong and rushed over like a bird in flight.

  "Brother, come and save me!" Li Siye's voice was trembling, his hands tightly grasping a piece of ice, his body stuck to the glacier, not daring to move, his face pale and bloodless, as if he had been buried in the earth.

  This was not over yet, Li Siye's legs kept trembling and shaking uncontrollably.

  Standing on the glacier, his legs were trembling again, that was adding insult to injury, one misstep and he would fall down, that would be the end of everything. Li Changguo's heart was in his throat as he shouted loudly: "Don't look down! Don't look down!"

  The more you look down from a cliff, the more afraid you are. This is experience talking. If you don't look down, it's actually fine.

  "I won't look!" Li Siye's voice was weak and trembling, and he hastily closed his eyes.

  Li Changguo carefully pulled Li Siye's hand and said, "Come slowly, follow me! Be careful! Don't look down! Don't look down!"

  Li Siye cooperated very well and followed Li Changguo, carefully going up and down the Tan Ma Ridge.

  At this time, Li Xīyè was no longer the brave and fierce general he once was, but rather like a timid child, trembling with fear as he walked. The name of General Li Xīyè was renowned outside, who would have thought that he was actually afraid of heights? If not seen with one's own eyes, no one would believe it.

  It was still smooth, and finally left the glacier to a safe place. Li Siye could no longer hold on, and fell to the ground with a thud, his cold sweat seeping out and soaking his clothes.

  "How can you be afraid?" Li Changguo was somewhat curious, with Li Siye's bravery, he shouldn't be afraid.

  "It was fine at first, nothing much. But I got curious, rushed to the edge of the cliff and took a look, suddenly my heart skipped a beat, my legs didn't listen to me." Li Siye looked gloomy and muttered: "I told myself not to be afraid, it's no big deal. I've been through many battles, what kind of scene haven't I seen? But no matter how I comforted myself, my legs just wouldn't listen, and I couldn't do anything about it!"

  Li Siye was known for his bravery and had never known fear in his life. It wasn't until this moment that he learned how to write the word "fear".

  His words revealed a fact that on the glacier, no matter how much you urge or comfort yourself, when it really comes to that moment, your legs just won't listen and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

  "There is a way to gold without being barefoot, people are not perfect, and it's precisely Li Siye's Achilles' heel!" Li Changguo stroked his cheek, somewhat stunned that such a fierce general as Li Siye was actually afraid of heights.

  The Tang army came in waves, and with each wave, they would exclaim in surprise.

  Not long after, Gao Xianzhi arrived and took a look at Bingcun. His heart felt cool and sank down.

  Anuo City is just below the Danjia Ridge, and as long as you go down, you can enter Anuo City. However, a glacier heavenly danger blocked the Tang army's advance.

  This is just as the saying goes "can see but can't eat", who wouldn't feel depressed?

  Gao Xianzhi ordered the selection of some brave warriors, led by Li Changguo to explore the road. However, it was useless. Although Li Changguo was not afraid, these brave warriors were scared and retreated after walking a short distance, each with an expression that they would rather be punished by military law than go again, leaving Gao Xianzhi at a loss.

  Three orders and five declarations, one warning after another, again and again, still no use!

  In the end, some people even sat on the ground and refused to leave.

  To cross this icy river, there are two main difficulties to overcome. One is that it's too slippery and hard to stand firm; the other is acrophobia - just looking down at the cliff below would make even someone as brave as Li Siye afraid, let alone ordinary Tang soldiers.

  The first problem was easily solved by wrapping cloth around the feet and also wrapping the warhorse's hooves with cloth.

  This slope is not the problem, the biggest problem is acrophobia. This is a precipice of ten thousand feet, and everyone has to be afraid of it for three points, even if Gao Xianzhi himself walked on it for a while, he was also frightened out of a cold sweat.

  Gao Xianzhi was worried again, hiding in a deserted place and pulling his hair.

  Just then, Li Changguo arrived and bumped into him. Li Changguo never expected that a famous general like Gao Xianzhi would be so worried that he was pulling his hair out, and couldn't help but laugh.

  Gao Xianzhi hastily put on an air of innocence as soon as he saw Li Changguo arrive.

  Li Changguo smiled and said: "Deputy Capital Protector, I have thought of a plan. Perhaps we can give it a try."

  "Oh!" Gao Xianzhi was surprised and asked hastily: "What strategy?"

  Li Changguo whispered a string in his ear, and Gao Xianzhi's eyes shone brightly like the stars on a night.
