Chapter 269 What a coincidence, the rear area!
Gu Nanxi, who was regarded as a dead person, was crossing the mountains with Fu Mingyuan with a large force of more than 2,000 people.
The deeper you go, the taller the trees become. The thick branches block the sunlight. Even in broad daylight, it is as dark as evening.
Ever since Fu Mingyuan saw the blank imperial edict, his attitude made a 180-degree turn and he no longer ignored Gu Nanxi.
“This place is called Death Prisoner Mountain. The fog is poisonous, flying kites fall down, and the wind is fierce. The mountains are dangerous, the water is dangerous, and there are many wild animals. No one knows how to get out of these mountains, and no one knows whether this mountain can be passed through. Where.”
Fu Mingyuan guarded Gu Nanxi's side from the sneak attack of the venomous snake and python, and continued to introduce what he knew about the situation.
Boss Li couldn't bear to look at Fu Mingyuan's lackadaisical appearance, especially since he was one step ahead of him and occupied the position next to Gu Nanxi.
So Mr. Li raised his eyebrows and retorted: "Since no one knows where this mountain leads, how come there is the direction of Death Row Mountain on the map?"
I know. This is Death Row Mountain, so Boss Li pulled out the carefully drawn map.
This Death Row Mountain mainly runs north-south, but there are also several small mountains running east-west.
The northernmost point can reach Woye Town. The mountains to the west are not recorded in detail, only a shallow line.
Fu Mingyuan: "How do you know that's all?"
No matter how exquisite the maps of this era are, they are not as detailed as those of later generations.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Gu Nanxi quickly smoothed things over: "It doesn't matter, as long as we go all the way north and pass through this mountain, we will definitely reach the border!"
Fu Mingyuan and Boss Li all turned away and snorted coldly, thinking in their hearts, this person is really annoying.
Because the mountain road is too steep, the carriages in the team have long been abandoned, and everyone can only move on foot.
Old man Geng supported Aunt Geng. Aunt Geng was holding a two or three-year-old child in her arms. She was resting her head on Aunt Geng's neck, sleeping soundly.
"Old lady, are you tired? I told you not to come over. You must have suffered a lot."
Aunt Geng panted heavily and looked at Gu Nanxi's back in front of her. His eyes were burning: “I’m not tired! "
The Geng family's elder brother followed Aunt Geng, ready to protect Aunt Geng at any time: "Fortunately, Silang didn't follow. With his body, he would have been unable to hold on in the river. "
Thinking of Shiro, who was admitted as a scholar in her family, a smile appeared on Aunt Geng's face: "The Dalang of the Su family valued him, so naturally he wanted to keep him in Kyoto and work with Su Dalang."
After Aunt Geng finished speaking , seeing his family members all around him, he lowered his voice: "You all think that I am insisting on having my own way and asking for trouble. But , I have talked with those soldiers. They are all orphans in the border town, without fathers or mothers. They look pitiful."
"No matter how difficult it is for us to leave now, we are still a whole family. Let’s get together!”
Aunt Geng looked at Gu Nanxi with such enthusiasm, as if she was worshiping the gods of faith.
"What's more, we are following General Gu Nanxi! We have no reinforcements, so Mrs. Hou gathered the reinforcements herself! Who would have thought that there is such a team hidden in this vast mountain!"
"What does this mean? This means that all this is under the control of Mrs. Hou!"
Aunt Geng told her sons: "Follow Mrs. Hou and strive to make great contributions!"
< br>"I got it, Auntie."
Behind them, Fu Mingyuan's men were also muttering.
“Look at what General Fu means, we have completely surrendered to General Zhenglu!”
"Hehe, isn't this great? General Zhenglu has financial resources, strength, and a sacred heart. He himself is extremely capable! Only by following such a general can you have a future!" "I don't care about the future or not, I just want to Kill those Tatars and avenge my parents!"
As soon as these words were said, no one was in the mood to chat.
Everyone is burdened with a blood feud, and they all dream of one day repaying the pain that the Tatars inflicted on them in the north!
Everyone suppressed the surging hatred and sharpened their swords for ten years just for this moment of unsheathing!
The conquering general points his flag and is invincible!
I can’t tell how long I walked until the trees became low again, the fog cleared, and the warm sun shone on me again.
Gu Nanxi felt enlightened for a moment, as if she had been reborn in another life.
Is this the time to finally get out of the mountains?
“Great, we are finally getting out of Death Row Mountain!”
"God bless us, we are still the first ones to walk out of these mountains!"
"Hahaha, I can brag about this experience for the rest of my life!"
Everyone hugged each other and cried along the way. They were under tremendous psychological pressure. If they had not had absolute confidence in Gu Nanxi and Fu Mingyuan, they would have collapsed long ago!
Death Prison Mountain, where the living entered and no one came out, they finally came out!
Boss Li’s expression became more and more solemn: “Where is this place? It’s not like Woye Town!”
Fu Mingyuan looked around in confusion. At the foot of the mountain was a clear, winding river like cloud satin. On the other side of the river was lush green grass, slightly yellow.
Woye Town is not like this!
Woye Town was originally a fertile land and densely populated, but after being invaded by the northern border, it became a scorched earth with ruins everywhere.
Alekawa saw the scene in front of him and felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he was.
“Let’s cross the river!” Gu Nanxi ordered.
The team simply repaired by the river, washed off the dust on their bodies, and had a hearty meal, instantly feeling refreshed!
The horses lowered their heads, drank water, and kept digging the ground with their hooves.
This vast grassland inspires their primitive desire to gallop!
Gu Nanxi changed into a martial arts uniform, put on the chain armor again, swept away the gloom in her heart, and let out a loud roar!
The cavalry is in front, the infantry is behind, and the team marches northward happily on the grassland!
This grassland is so wide that the blood of everyone who has been wandering around the mountains for a long time is burning.
The sun sets in the west, red and yellow with some gold, sprinkled on the grassland.
Gu Nanxi took the lead, followed by Fu Mingyuan and Boss Li.
They rode their horses up a small hill and were stunned by what they saw.
About a mile away from the hill, there are white tents stationed one after another.
Herds of cattle and sheep are scattered on the grassland, grazing leisurely.
Gu Nanxi could still faintly hear the chatter of men and women, old and young.
On the top of the tent, smoke drifted from the kitchen.
Some people set up grills directly outside the tents. The skin of the fat sheep on the wooden rack was crispy and exuded a strong aroma of burnt fat.
“Have we reached the northern border?” Mr. Li rubbed his eyes, his mouth so wide that he could fit an egg in it.
Alchuan rushed over and slapped his forehead suddenly: "I know where this is! This is Chierle, the rear of the Royal Court!"
