Chapter 60 Starting point and ending point
The bonfire jumped, and the firelight reflected on her face, dyeing her fair complexion with a blush.
Her eyes were wide open, and the light in her eyes was a little softer than a bonfire, but warmer than a bonfire.
Shen Yu liked to see her serious and cute expression, so he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek.
Wen Wan was startled and snorted fiercely.
"We're talking about business, don't do anything."
Shen Yu smiled and then continued: "Starting from the mountain temple, whenever we find an ancient tomb, there is always a group of people following us. What do you think it is for?"
Wen Wan: "Why else? It must be what you are looking for."
"Yes." Shen Yu nodded and said, "Suppose A Zhuoxin is the group of people chasing us. They suddenly retreated before we found our things. Why?"
Like a teacher who is good at guiding students to answer questions, he gradually clears up the context of things with gentleness.
Wen Wan thought about it carefully and said tentatively: "Because they found something in advance? Or, they also know our destination? Are they going to open the ancient tomb before us?"
< br>
The more she spoke, the more Wen Wan's heart sank.
The enemy has figured out all their steps so clearly that it would be impossible without a spy tipping them off.
But who is the mole?
Shen Yu knew what she wanted to ask by looking at her expression.
"I haven't found out who the mole is yet, but what is certain is...since Azhuoxin did not recognize our team, it means that the mole is not in our current team."
"I have to find the lair of the Adhuo tribe. The nomadic herdsmen have never interfered with the affairs of Mobei and Duan Dynasty before. This time they are chasing us all the way. What is the purpose behind it? We have to find out."
"Moreover, no matter what A Zhuoxin and the others want to do, this time, since we are here, we will catch them all."
Wen Wan sighed again, "This Duan Chao is really hopeless. For someone like you, I am only given the position of a captain? It's really too humiliating."
Shen Yu curled his lips, "Who says it's not the case? I must be a first-class general."
"You? First-class general?"
Wen Wan reached out and touched his forehead, "You don't have a fever either. Why are you talking nonsense?"
Shen Yu suddenly held her wrist, "You have so little confidence in me?"
Wen Wan rolled her eyes at him, "Oh, it's not that I have no confidence in you, but that I have no confidence in this dynasty. It's not that you are not capable enough, but that this society is like this. Life is inherently unequal. Your starting point determines your end point. .”
Her remarks made Shen Yu's dark pupils shrink.
Wen Wan: "Here, the hierarchy is clear. If you come from a princely family and have your power, it is no problem to become a first-class general. But if you come from an ordinary family, becoming a general is the end of it."
< br>
Shen Yu suddenly remembered that when he was a boy, he was the prince's accompaniment and listened to the emperor's teachings.
At that time, the Imperial Master also said something, and the meaning was similar to what Wen Wan said.
But that was the Imperial Master, and Wen Wan was just a little girl.
Wen Wan didn't notice anything strange about him and let out a long sigh.
"So, if I don't want to be a concubine, I can only find a trafficker and marry me."
She slowly broke away from his hand, moved her wrist, and smiled heartlessly:
"Although Lieutenant Zhou is not a prince, he is not an ordinary family either. I think he will marry a woman of the same family as you in the future."
As soon as his palms were empty, Shen Yu's eyes darkened.
They are all smart people, so she gave him an answer in a cryptic way.
Wen Wan pulled the blanket back and said, "I will never be a concubine for anyone again in this life."
When Shen Yu heard this, he looked up at her in surprise.
Wen Wan had already looked away and yawned, "I'm sleepy. I'm going to take a nap. I have to continue my journey tomorrow."
After she left, Shen Yu sat by the campfire and didn't speak for a long time. *
Early the next morning, it snowed heavily.
After a while, the grassland was covered with a layer of silvery white color.
Braving the wind and snow, the team's speed increased instead of slowing down, and even lunch was served in a hurry on horseback.
After running around for three days, we finally arrived at the foot of a rolling mountain range.
This mountain range is where Mobei borders the grassland. After climbing over this mountain, it is the boundary of the Mobei people.
As dusk approached, according to past habits, it was time to stop and set up camp.
But today, Shen Yu's face was solemn. After observing the terrain, he directed the team to approach the canyon on the right.
After approaching the canyon, everyone dismounted and walked.
It was completely dark, and the cold wind in the canyon made people's legs freeze, and every step required more strength.
Suddenly, everyone saw a faint light coming from the canyon.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Arrived?"
Wen Wan asked Shen Yu in a low voice, and he nodded calmly.
Then, he made a gesture, and everyone immediately dispersed, took out their weapons, and stared in the direction of the canyon with a hunting attitude.
Wen Wan was already in her throat, and she thought they were going to rush in just like that.
He was about to remind them that the situation in the canyon was unknown and it was definitely not wise to enter hastily.
Who knew, the next second, Shen Yu slapped the horse's butt violently, and the horse roared, and then rushed into the canyon.
"There is a situation!"
Someone seemed to be keeping a watch in the canyon and blew the whistle immediately.
Soon, an overwhelming rain of arrows fell, turning the horse into a hedgehog in an instant.
The horse fell in a pool of blood, struggling to die with a pair of empty eyes.
After the horse was completely dead, a group of people holding torches appeared in Wen Wan's sight.
They were all dressed as nomadic herdsmen, and they all moved quickly to surround the horse that rushed in.
Wen Wan suddenly felt scared. Shen Yu was smart and knew how to lure the snake out of the hole. Otherwise, no matter who rushed in now, they would be dead.
The sentry breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was scared to death. It turned out to be just a horse."
"I thought it was that handsome boy's tribe that was chasing him."
"So what if you chase me? Can you snatch someone back from us?"
"That's right. It's just a small, lonely family. There are only a few old, weak, sick and disabled people, and it's not enough for the brothers to kill them all."
"Speaking of which, that boy is also very hard-boned. He was tortured to this point by Young Master Xin, and he still covered his buttocks and refused to submit."
"Hahaha... It's a pity, but he is also a man."
With Wen Wan's sharp eyes, she had already recognized that the people who spoke were none other than Adhuoxin's men.
Then the boy they were talking about was Wen En.
When she thought of A Zhuoxin torturing Wen En, Wen Wan's face turned pale and she wanted to rush in to save him immediately.
