Everyone is hopeful, and hopefully the road ahead will not disappoint again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If it's really a camp ahead, I'd like to ...... This hope should be satisfied.

After all, these people around him are part of the team that will take on the task of killing the enemy in the future.

It's all said that the place where our group of people will go is going to be the pioneer camp, isn't it?

The soldier at the front of the line turned and shouted to the back, "Follow, hurry!" ”

"It's coming soon!"

The originally sore legs and feet, and the depressed mood were all injected with new strength because of the shouting of the person at the front of the line.

At this moment, I could really feel the emotional changes of those walking around me.

At this point, everyone has the most basic needs.

It's just that we want a place where we can rest and eat.

It doesn't matter if it's a tent or just an open-air camp by the fire!

...... Walking outside the cave passage, I suddenly felt a cold wind blowing in my face.

Outside, the snow was falling.

I continued to walk with the group, but when the man shouted to us, it was almost there, and there was no sign of the lights ahead.

What's going on? I couldn't help but wonder in my heart.

Just then, I heard voices again, this time from the very end of the line.

The voice was made by the two soldiers who followed the line to the formation.

"Damn, how did you get this way, it's damn it!"

"It's not, it's a big winter!"

The tone of the two of them sounded a little bit gritted teeth, which made me feel even more strange.

I could see that the two sides belonged to the different forces in the army, and I had already understood this, but now that they were complaining about the road conditions, should they have to change their route again?

I couldn't figure out for a moment why the state of the road ahead was dissatisfying.

But it didn't take long for the answer to be revealed.

Knowing the truth, my tears didn't fall, but even I couldn't help cursing in my heart.

Not far ahead, we are still on the same path, which is not wrong, but it is not the mountain road I am familiar with.

It's not another cave, of course, but a swamp!

As far as the torch illuminated, we could already see the scenery ahead.

As early as in the passage, we didn't know how long we had walked, but we felt that time had passed, the journey was hard, and the place in the passage was narrow, which was very depressing.

But now that I came out and saw what was happening in front of me, I really felt like I might as well continue walking through the passage.

Not far ahead, there is a swamp with snow, and just look at the snowflakes that keep falling in the sky.

It's fine if it's frozen, but the problem is that the swamp isn't completely frozen yet.

What does that mean? It meant that we had to wade through the muddy ice water to reach the other side without any problems.

...... There are countless reasons to hold back, but unfortunately there is no choice in front of you.

The soldier in the lead was the first to descend from the edge of the swamp, walking slowly forward.

Immediately after the team that followed, I was helplessly in it, and after glancing at the situation of a few people in front of me, I lowered my head and lifted the hem of my cotton robe up.

...... How far is the camp ahead? How far do you have to go?

I couldn't get to know what was going on, but as soon as I stepped into the swamp, I held my breath.

I can't describe the feeling at this moment, the coldness in the heart, the coldness in the bones!

A group of people mechanically walked through the muddy water, slowly walking in the direction of the opposite bank.

Even if someone comes to ask me about it right now, I'm too cold to speak.

In addition, you have to be careful to step deeper, and you have to follow the steps of the people in front of you, who are like pathfinders.

If you accidentally step on the air and the whole person falls into the ice water, even the cotton robe on your body will get wet.

I could hear the two soldiers in the formation muttering and complaining, but after a while, there was no movement.

It's because this place is so sinful, and it's surrounded by cliffs, and there's no other way to go.

Everyone tried their best to speed up, struggling forward in knee-high icy water, hoping to get past the swamp sooner and reach the other shore as soon as possible.

After walking for a while, I saw the light coming through the forest in front of me.

Only then did the soldier at the front of the line shout to our team: "Ahead, you can walk a little longer, this is the nearest route." ”

Thankfully, this time he didn't look like he was bluffing.

I looked at the lights ahead and could tell that the camp was getting closer and closer.

The team, which had been almost frozen, regained its spirits, and I cheered myself up in my heart.

I reminded myself that when I got to the camp, I would be able to build a fire to keep warm!

...... In the inn facing the street in the northland, the guard of the Yuwen family looked at the young man opposite and asked in a low voice, "Young master, everyone on the street is saying that Master Wang went to the camp. ”

The guard paused, glanced around, and then whispered, "It's a little far from here, but Your Majesty and the National Teacher are still living in the town and haven't gone to the camp. ”

The young man who was thinking about his thoughts raised his head and stared at the guards when he heard this, and said, "It's just a temporary stay, and the war will definitely go to the front line." ”

Thinking about the previous rumors, the young man frowned.

He was silent for a moment, then raised his head to look at the guard and whispered, "Probably because the national teacher is not in good health. ”

This does not seem to be a secret to the public!

I heard that as early as when he was in the Xilan Palace, the national teacher lived in the Penglai Pavilion in the palace, and he lived in a simple house, and there were almost no outsiders.

On the way to the north, the empress's team also stopped to rest, and I heard that it was also inseparable from the national teacher.

News is always delivered quietly through various channels.

The young man's gaze at the guards was a little more meaningful, and he knew in his heart that even with a well-trained team like Wang Shi, there were many people in it, and it was still impossible to completely block the news.

Some rumors are even more outrageous because of the mysterious identity of the national teacher who came to the north with Wang Shi.

There is everything to say, and it is even rumored that it is the empress......

The boy also heard all kinds of rumors along the way.

From Suzhou to Nanhua Town, from Nanhua Town to Beidi.

In the meantime, in addition to his relatively quiet days in the mountains with Xiaoling, there was always gossip about Wang Shi, the empress, and the national teacher along the way.

When you arrive in the Northland, near the battlefield where the two armies are fighting, there will naturally be more news in the town.

Before the start of the battle, there will be all kinds of speculation about the situation and the teams on both sides.

I heard that the princess's subordinates have found some talented people, and it was rumored earlier that it might have an impact on the situation of the war.

...... The boy exchanged glances with the guards, then heard footsteps outside, and then saw several aliens walking into the lobby of the inn.

Looks like they're here to drink, too.

In the lobby of the inn, the whole room looked very spacious, even if it was late at night, there were still voices of talking and drinking.

The streets outside are a lot more deserted.

On a snowy night, the cold is freezing and it is rare to see people passing by.

It is said that there were a large number of guards near the house where the empress lived, but that area was concentrated in one corner of the town and did not affect the daily life of the rest of the people.

The empress did not know what her considerations were, and did not order a curfew after dark.

...... The boy quietly observed the alien at the table that had just sat down not far away.

The aliens temporarily attracted the young man's attention, and he looked at it for a long time before retracting his gaze.

"Young Master, do you see that there is something wrong with those people?"

A hint of confusion flashed in the guard's eyes, and he asked in a low voice.

The young man shook his head and did not answer, but looked at him and whispered, "You know the arrangements for tomorrow morning, and you will be earlier in a while...... It's not too early, you can go back to your room and rest. ”

The guard was slightly stunned, and immediately asked, "You're not going back?" ”

The boy's gaze fell on his face, and he could see his expression clearly.

He glanced down at the wine in the glass, and then the corners of his mouth moved slightly: "Drink some more, and go back, I don't want to go back at the moment." ”

With that, he gestured.

After a few seconds, the guard stood up and walked towards the inn.

The boy sat alone at the table, his eyes turned to the window again, still holding a wine glass.

...... Hearing the door of the side room squeak open, several guards in the room stood up in unison.

The restless guard was the fastest.

He took three or two steps to the door, opened it and looked out over the room where Tianfang and the two wounded guards were.

Tianfang really walked out of the house, with a faint tiredness on his face, but his expression looked quite relaxed.

The guards have long since learned to read words and looks.

Seeing this, everyone immediately understood that removing the residual poison for the two companions was a successful completion.

Out of safety, they couldn't help but come forward to inquire and confirm with their master.

Tianfang glanced at a few of them, and said with a light smile: "It's okay!" ”

"The next thing is to rest in peace," Tianfang paused and continued in a slower tone, "I will be fully recovered in a day or two." ”

After hearing this, the guards showed a look of delight.

It seems that although Tianfang's treatment for them this time took a long time, the results were ideal...... It's worth it!

Tianfang walked some distance, he paused in the courtyard in the snow, turned to look at the guards and asked, "I still have to go up the mountain tomorrow morning, remember to prepare the things you bring along the way." ”

"Yes, Lord."

The guards replied cheerfully.

Tianfang turned and walked towards the room where he was resting.

Several of the guards behind him also turned and walked towards the side room where the wounded were housed, wanting to see how the two companions were doing.

For the rest of the things, even if the heavens don't tell them, they have experience in the past and know how to take care of their companions.

After Tianfang calmly walked into the house, he immediately closed the door.

...... After a quarter of an hour, there was a soft knock on the door outside the inner courtyard room where the sky was staying.

"Come in!"

A guard walked in, one of the guards who were going to follow Tianfang to the mountain tomorrow morning.

He walked to the desk where Tianfang was sitting, stopped and said to Tianfang, "Lord, they have all slept, and they seem to be in good condition. ”

"Well," Tianfang nodded, looked at him and asked, "You have to leave tomorrow morning, don't forget, you still have something to do?" ”

"Lord," the guard continued as he looked at Tianfang, "a few of us went to the mountains, in case it took a long time, and the war in the north didn't know when it would start......

"You can see that it's snowing quite heavily outside," the guard said worriedly, "the road is not easy, and if we leave, the battle will be ......."

Tian quietly looked away from him, made a gesture to interrupt him, and then said in a relaxed tone: "You don't have to worry about this. ”

"As far as I know, the number of people in the vanguard battalion of the Wang Division is not yet complete, and some of them may still be on the way."

The guard had a question in his heart, and looked at him with doubts in his eyes: "Lord, didn't you say that the empress has been secretly recruiting people for a long time?" ”

"That's right, but there's news from the Wangshi's station, and I'm pretty sure the manpower isn't in place yet, so don't worry about that," Tianfang said after groaning and glancing at the guard.

Tianfang paused, and said in an affirmative tone: "Whether they have gathered the people of the pioneer camp or not, it is inevitable that I will go to the mountains this time. ”

Tianfang emphasized in his tone: "Our people have not gained anything from a trip, so I must go and see it myself." ”

After thinking about it, he added to the guard: "If the situation changes, I will definitely end the inspection early and go down the mountain first!" ”

"Lord, before you arrived in the Northland, we sent men to guard the area around the entrance of the town, and now we have withdrawn the people," the guard looked at Tianfang and said with some hesitation, "Do you still need to send someone over there?" ”

Tianfang glanced at him and did not answer.

He got up and walked to the wall on the side of the room, looked at the topographical map of the Northlands above, and motioned for the guards to approach after a few moments.

"Send someone here before dawn tomorrow morning."

Tianfang pointed to the location on the map, and after thinking about it, he said in a cautious tone: "If you really go to the town, you may be the most likely to take this entrance, but ......"

Tianfang seemed to hesitate between his words, and the guard hurriedly asked, "Is the Lord worried that he may come from another channel?" ”

"No," Tianfang shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that, I just think that the little junior sister may not come to the town, and there may be variables." ”

Thinking of the early descent from the mountain that Tianfang said before, the guard asked again: "Does the itinerary need to be changed?" ”

Tian Fang laughed and said, "It's two different things. ”

"She'll go to the Northlands, and I need to go to the mountains to see ...... This trip must be made, and it must be done urgently. ”

Tianfang sighed, his eyes staring at the map on the opposite wall, and he changed his tone: "If you don't take this trip, maybe it will delay the things that follow, these are two lines." (To be continued.) )
