Chapter Seventy-Two: The Passage on the Side of the Cliff
Most of the mountain roads from the camp to Nanhua Town are very rugged. Romance debuts
Gu Qimei has practiced riding with her eldest sister who is far away in the north since she was a child, and her ability to control is completely different from that of ordinary boudoir women.
Before leaving the camp, she changed into a light outfit.
When the horse was galloping on the mountain road, a thought suddenly passed through Gu Qimei's heart.
The empress chose her to follow her among the others, and I am afraid that it was not only because of the relationship between the eldest sister of the Gu family in the north.
The empress may not know all the people who enter the palace.
There are too many people coming in and out of the palace, but about her, there should be more information than anyone else.
However, knowing the news that Gu Qimei followed the army north, the letter sent back by the eldest sister of the Gu family from the north did not mention the details at all.
In the letter, he only took care of Gu Qimei, and after she arrived in the north, the sisters would naturally be able to meet, and the detailed situation would be discussed later.
After turning a corner in the mountain road, I saw Nanhua Town looming in the night fog.
Gu Qimei pursed her lips and urged the speed of the mount under her.
The guard behind him followed, not daring to fall behind.
I went to Nanhua Town, on the orders of the empress, for the disappearance of the pioneer battalion.
I didn't expect that the army would go to the north, and such a thing would happen at this juncture.
No wonder the empress was furious, and in order to reduce the impact on the army, the news tried her best to suppress it.
This matter can be big or small, if you think about it before and after quieting, it will be very scary to think about the war in the Northland.
The whole thing doesn't seem to be a simple case of disappearance or escape.
What Gu Qimei has to do is to check the cause and effect, and interrogate the relevant personnel.
She had to figure out what was going on, and then she went back to camp.
The Empress made it clear when the army would start again as she left the camp, meaning she had to finish the matter before it set off again.
The burden was on her shoulders, and she couldn't afford to slack off, so she should go all out
Our feet are not slow, but it is getting harder and harder to walk near the top of the mountain.
From choosing the fork in the road to the first, it has been almost an hour and a half now.
The difficulty of the road was somewhat unexpected, and the altitude position mentioned by the boy was also something I did not expect.
I thought I was walking in the mountains and forests, but I didn't expect it to be the road to the top of the mountain.
I looked back a few times. Aside from the narrow path that the boy and I had passed, it was difficult to see the terrain of the area from the current position.
Maybe when you reach the top of the mountain, you can see the whole terrain in the distance!
Thankfully, there were no trailing stalkers, and the two aliens went down the other road, about the same path they had taken before they rushed to the place of the trade.
Those who traded with them in the Sealand army. At this time, we should be rushing to the headquarters of the army.
I calculated the distance, and the route from Nanhua Town through the official road thought that Wang Shi might have passed Nanhua Town!
According to what I thought, according to my usual understanding, as long as the tsundere boy and I go to a higher place, we can see the route we have taken before.
I had the idea that I was high enough to see the terrain nearby. I don't want to waste any more time if I don't have any eyebrows!
The mountain wind blew in my face, and I stared at him for a while, then turned my head and whispered, "Young Master, you should rest with me." “
Push myself to the front, in the name that I want to rest
Even if it's a gesture of kindness, I think it's better to be tactful.
"Stop here and get something to eat!"
After saying that, I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye, and opened my baggage to myself.
When I was sheltering from the rain in the ruined temple, I watched the young man tidying up, so I streamlined it once. Threw some more items.
When I opened it and looked at it, there wasn't much food left in the baggage.
I hope that after arriving in Tiger Cliff Village, I can make up for the things I need, otherwise I will not have to use the bow and arrow given by the uncle on the way.
The boy's riding and shooting is not a problem, the problem is that it is used for hunting, and it seems to have wasted a little.
I picked a piece of dim sum from the baggage, but unfortunately it has been cold, and the taste will be worse.
On the way, it will be a moment!
I handed the snack to the boy, winked at him and said, "Hey." Master Da Shao, you also eat a little, and when we get to the top of the mountain and see the terrain, we will decide how to go! ”
Fortunately, the path that the teenager worked so hard to blaze was meaningful.
If we are unlucky and decide to turn back. It's much easier to turn back than it was before.
The boy looked at me helplessly, took a snack, and walked back and forth nearby.
What happened to that guy?
I looked at him puzzled, I didn't understand what he was walking around, what was he going to do without stopping to rest?
The boy wandered several times, and finally chose a place.
Seeing that he finally quieted down, he rested on the rocks beside him. But he carried the things on his body well, and he never took any of them off.
He ate the dim sum I handed over, and his movements were elegant, just like the scene he had seen in the East House in Suzhou before.
Watching the way the eldest young master eats simply doesn't correspond to the image of the young man who used brute force to open the way before.
It's unpredictable!
After a short pause, the boy and I got up again and continued walking.
The obstacles ahead are gradually decreasing, and it looks like we are about to reach the top of the mountain.
I gritted my teeth and was about to climb up in one go, and the boy was right.
I felt the oncoming mountain wind blowing more violently, and I was a little anxious and a little apprehensive in my heart.
When the top of the mountain appeared in front of my eyes, I couldn't help but speed up my pace and run over.
However, I didn't get far before I froze and immediately stopped
Looking at the vision, my mind went blank for a moment.
As far as the eye can see, we are indeed at the top of the mountain, but in front of us, there is a large lake.
Because of the transpiration mist on the surface of the lake in winter, it is impossible to see the opposite shore clearly.
Where is this?
I stood at the top of the hill in confusion and thought, and in an instant, several thoughts passed through my mind.
At this moment, when my thoughts were most confusing, I clenched my fists and calmed down, temporarily suppressing the uneasiness in my heart.
I remember looking at the map in the study of the boy in the east house of Suzhou City.
I'm thinking about it, is there a clear mark on the map?
Such a large area of water. Where does it stretch?
I searched in my memories and found nothing.
By the way, the main owner is still following me, isn't he just a living map? Ask him.
"Great young master. What's going on? ”
I looked at the young man who came up in amazement and asked, "Wouldn't we be cut off in this way?" ”
This sentence is very easy to understand, in front of which is a cliff and a large lake. Where are we going?
Uh, there's no way he's going to jump into the lake, is there?
Looking at it this way, it was obvious that I had made the wrong choice with him!
I knew that I should have followed the carriage driven by the aliens, and the traces of the wheels on the ground were faintly recognizable on the path in the forest!
When hesitating at the fork in the road, if I stick to my own point of view, can the embarrassing situation in front of me be avoided?
I chose them all!
I sighed and looked at the tsundere boy, waiting for his answer.
Speaking of which, he was the one who thought that the mountain people might take this path, and he had always been confident. Trust his own judgment.
The situation of slapping his face in front of him let him deal with it.
I looked at him, I didn't know how to continue the conversation for the time being, he chose this path, it seems that there is no way at the moment, do you have to turn back?
In this way, the time to go back and forth is counted, and the delay is a long time.
I guess the tsundere boy standing silently in front of me at this moment must have more depression in his heart than me!
I don't know what the eldest young master is thinking at this moment, I know that this person has always been arrogant. How can you casually admit that you have made a wrong judgment?!
"Xiaoling, follow me."
He threw down a sentence, leaving me stunned and standing there and walking with him. Where to go?
Raising his eye, he saw the boy turn and walk northwest.
The top of the mountain is not big, and the direction he is going is the cliff on the other side, what the hell is he going to do?
To be honest, I don't know the bottom of my heart, but it's not always a way to stand here and look at the lake in a daze, so it's better to follow him for the time being.
What to do next. What to do is up to him.
The young man walked calmly, without any frustration, which could be seen from his calm expression.
He was determined, and seemed to have confidence in his own judgment.
His composure, which invisibly made me slightly anxious, was slowly soothed.
Could it be that there is something strange about the cliff ahead?
Isn't it just a cliff with no access to it?
I followed the boy all the way over, the area of the top of the mountain is not large, and when I walked to the other side, I couldn't help but be struck by it.
From the point where I went up the hill with him, I could see a huge lake shrouded in mist, but on the other side of the mountain, the scenery was different.
Before our eyes, we saw a scene surrounded by mountains, and we could see a small river under the cliff, starting from a waterfall in the upper mountains and flowing into the large lake that we had seen before.
Here I frowned.
The next moment, I heard the young man's calm voice: "Xiaoling, look at the distance, if I guess correctly, Tiger Cliff Village should be that place!" ”
I looked at the scene in the distance and was stunned.
After a few seconds, I couldn't help but lean up and ask him, "Young Master, are you sure?" ”
"I can't say for sure, but I'll know if I go down and see," the young man kept looking ahead, and said in a light tone, "You have a long mouth, just wait until someone in the village asks you?" ”
He still has the same style, and he speaks so eloquently!
The situation should not be as bad as I thought, so he has time to fight for victory and loss!
The boy finished and glanced at me.
He took a few steps, then turned back to me and said, "Xiaoling, what are you doing there?" “
"You want to find that place as soon as possible, and you have nagged a few times along the way, why don't you take advantage of the fact that it is not dark and hurry up and walk?!"
However, this is the top of the mountain, and it is all cliffs, where is the way from?
I was suspicious in my heart, and I saw that the tsundere boy walked unhurriedly to the rocks in front of him, looking too lazy to reason with me.
What is this for?
Before I could figure it out, his figure reached behind the rocks and suddenly disappeared.
It's gone? It's gone!!
Although I know that this guy will definitely not be able to jump off a cliff, and I won't think about it, but watching a big living person suddenly disappear behind the rocks still scares me!
Someone else would have reacted the same way I did!
I panicked and ran over to the rocks.
Only then did he see that there was a narrow mountain road leading to the other side of the mountain, and he saw that it must have been carved out of the mountain by man.
I breathed a sigh of relief, my heart was beating fast!
That guy didn't make it clear to me before, and he ran behind the rocks by himself, and he was really speechless!
I took a few steps forward, but stopped when I got close to the side of the cliff where the trail began to slope.
Do you need to ask? Of course, it's because the terrain is very high and the slope is very steep, so it's not a joke.
I have a concern in my heart!
If I slip down from the mountain, I can't think much about it! The more I think about it, the more scared I get.
The tsundere boy turned to look at me, his gaze lingering on my face for a few seconds, and then he smiled faintly, as if he could see my hesitation and what I was worried about.
"Xiaoling, follow the old rules."
After the boy finished speaking, I didn't come back to my senses, and I saw him untie the burden on his body, and suddenly said, "You're going to use the same method again?" ”
"Otherwise, do you want to watch you get down?"
The boy gave me a funny look and looked down to untie the burden he had worked so hard to carry along the way.
As I said, everything in it is available, just like the items that you would bring with you to survive in the wild, and the boy is still prepared for the battle.
He took out the used rope, looked at me with raised eyebrows, and then threw the end of the rope to me and said, "Xiaoling, don't you need to teach it again, right?" ”
"No, no, where is it so stupid!"
I lowered my head and muttered, then began to wrap the rope around myself.
I can already tie the knot that the boy demonstrated, but the movements are not as skillful as his.
After a while, I tied it up, and saw that the boy had already finished it, and was looking at me with his elbows crossed!
"Yes, there is progress." He also complimented me.
"Actually," I gritted my teeth vigorously and whispered to him, "Young Master, I don't think even if I didn't use this, I might not be able to get down!" “
I said in a sullen tone, "Are you underestimating me too much?" ”
Of course, I was a little unwilling, so I couldn't help but complain to the tsundere boy.
"Are you sure?"
The young man looked at me coldly, and under such coercion, I shrunk my neck and said no more.
It's hard to say too much about dealing with such an unpredictable personality.
Anything else is easy to say, in case he provokes the eldest young master at this time, wait a minute, he will not be happy! (To be continued.) )
