Chapter 264 The mountain road here has eighteen bends
The cliffs are like cutting iron, and the moss and rocks are cracked by birds that cannot fly.
"It is said that the road to Shu is difficult, and it is more difficult to reach the blue sky. Unexpectedly, the further north you go, there are many mountains and rocks, and steep mountains, one mountain higher than the other."
Gu Nanxi stopped and said, Panting, I finally climbed to the top of the mountain.
At a glance, the mountains are undulating, far and near, standing against the sky. Like a magnificent landscape painting, it exudes majesty and grandeur.
It was a pity that Gu Nanxi was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery. At this time, she only felt that her calves were weak and she was about to collapse.
Since Boss Li took the compass and decided to go all the way north, they met rivers, walked around rivers, and climbed mountains!
Unexpectedly, this mountain is not a mountain, but a group of mountains!
Now the team is in the mountains, which are completely deserted.
Fortunately, there are many people in the team, and they are equipped with sharp weapons. They hunt every day, collect water from mountain springs, and can eat and drink without any worries.
After running around for days, Lu Mei had lost a lot of weight, but she still thoughtfully brushed the leaves off Gu Nanxi's head.
"Master, do we still want to go all the way north?"
Gu Nanxi sat down on a rock beside the mountain, ignoring the moss on it: "Listen to Boss Li!"
At this time, Old Man Geng was also asking Boss Li: "Are we still going all the way north?"
Seeing that there are still more than a dozen mountains to climb ahead, those who are used to farm work Old man Geng was also heartbroken.
Boss Li glanced in the direction of Gu Nanxi without leaving a trace, and saw her sitting on a boulder, admiring the beautiful scenery of the mountains with great interest. His initially wavering heart immediately became firmer.
“Go north!”
After a short rest, the group continued to drag heavy steps over the mountains and ridges.
Dong Biaoshi and others have also completely given up their thoughts of causing trouble. How can the survival rate of twenty people in the vast mountains be compared to hundreds of people?
A group of people walked silently. On the contrary, Alchuan and Ada were in high spirits.
They grew up in the grasslands, and all they saw were endless green grass. Even when they fled to Kyoto, they took a flat road. Have they ever seen the weird and rugged mountains?
Alchuan volunteered to explore the way for everyone.
The sun is gradually setting in the west, and there is a hint of autumn on the mountains. Tall trees, green and slightly yellow.
A feeling called envy surged in Alchuan's heart.
No wonder the herdsmen want to go south! Dazhou is indeed a vast land with abundant resources. It not only has the land of plenty and plenty in the south of the Yangtze River, but also mountains like this!
Suddenly, Alchuan's ears moved, and he seemed to hear footsteps!
“Ada!” Alchuan did not choose to pursue, but called Ada and waited in place.
When Mr. Li rushed over, Alechuan reported the movement he just heard to Mr. Li in a low voice.
"Are you sure it's human footsteps?"
"Sure!" The footsteps of animals are much lighter than those of humans. Even if the person has deliberately stepped lightly, they are still lighter than those of animals. Much heavier.
Boss Li asked everyone to put on heart armor, and then sent three teams to investigate.
Meeting people in the mountains is not a good thing.
Because it is difficult for a person to survive in the mountains alone. Where there are only people, there must be villages!
It was getting late, and even though he was concerned about the people hiding in the dark, Boss Li had to lead everyone over the mountain and stationed in the valley at the foot of the mountain.
Fortunately, the way down the mountain was much easier than the way up. Everyone finally reached the valley before it turned completely dark. But before everyone could take a breath, they found a group of figures suddenly emerging from the bushes on the opposite mountainside!
At this time, the team that went to check shouted: "The enemy is attacking!"
They ran down the mountain in a hurry, their eyes full of anxiety: "It's not good, boss, we have encountered an enemy." It’s time to ambush!”
Boss Li grasped Holding the long knife tightly, he looked towards the mountainside on the opposite side, trying to see clearly those who were ambush: "I know."
With the convenience of familiarity with the terrain, this group of people knew that they would definitely be here. They are stationed in the valley, so bury them nearby in advance!
The stars and moon are bright and clear, and the bright river is in the sky.
Under the cold moonlight, Gu Nanxi and others finally saw clearly the figures on the opposite mountainside!
That is a group of well-trained soldiers!
What they are wearing is the standard armor of the Zhou Dynasty!
Some of them held bows and arrows, and some held spears, arranged in a military formation.
Boss Li's heart kept falling. Why was there such an elite soldier buried in the mountains? !
Is there someone at the border who is treasonous and wants to ambush Gu Nanxi again? !
But how did they know the whereabouts of themselves and others? !
Boss Li looked around at the entourage without leaving any trace, and the most suspicious ones were escort Dong and others.
Seeing that the other party was about to start a fight after a disagreement, Boss Li stood in front of Gu Nanxi and shouted loudly: "Who are you? Are you soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty?! We are personally sealed by the Holy Emperor. General Zhenglu, why did you attack us? ”
After a while, a man came from the opposite mountainside and asked coldly: "We have never heard of General Zhenglu!"
Old Geng hurriedly took out the flag of General Zhenglu, unfolded it and inserted it in the On the carriage: "You Hiding in the mountains for a long time, naturally he didn’t know that the Thirteen Northern Territories invaded the border and Marquis Yongchang died, so the Holy Emperor appointed Gu Nanxi, Marquis Yongchang’s wife, as the border general!”
There was a sudden commotion on the other side, but soon! It soon calmed down again.
The person opposite asked: "Didn't Marquis Yongchang go to Kyoto? How could he die?"
Although Boss Li didn't understand why they paid so much attention to Marquis Yongchang, the enemy is strong and we are weak. As long as we can negotiate.
"The second prince of the North, Ajinai, led a dead soldier to attack Yongchang Hou's mansion at night, and Yongchang Hou was killed by him."
Hearing Boss Li's words, the other side seemed to be quiet for a second, and then there were all kinds of curses.
Gu Nanxi could vaguely hear a few words, "Damn the Northern Tartars!", "The Marquis of Yongchang is dead, what should we do?", "Otherwise, we might as well go directly to the border. Fight to the death with the Tatars in the North!"
When Gu Nanxi thought about Gu Shisan's investigation, an unreliable guess came to her mind.
Gu Nanxi raised her voice and said: "I am Gu Nanxi, the wife of Yongchang Hou! I am also the general who conquered the captives this time! Is this Fu Mingyuan opposite me?"
A breeze blew by, and the nose was filled with the fragrance of vegetation and the fishy smell of earth.
Boss Li and others gave up their concentration and waited for the reply from the other side.
After a long time, the cold male voice finally came from the opposite side: "I am Fu Mingyuan. Suddenly there is a madman sharpening his knife at night!"
Gu Nanxi felt relieved, it was indeed him : "The Emperor's Star is fluttering high."
Fu Mingyuan asked again: "One punch knocks down the Yellow Crane Tower, and one kick knocks over the Parrot Island."
This secret code did not appear in Gu Shisan's superstition.
However, this is not difficult for Gu Nanxi who comes from a later generation!
Gu Nanxi said in a cadence: "When you are energetic, you are more energetic, and when you are not romantic, you are also romantic."
Boss Li swallowed hard, is this code correct?
