Chapter 161: Climbing
Tang Yinbrown smiled helplessly when he heard this.
"Remember that letter two days ago?"
Ah Zi thought of the extra eagle that interrupted himself and Ah Brown, "The letter that Ah Zhong and Bao'er sent?" ”
If I'm not mistaken, didn't it just say that his group had arrived at the border of the Golden Forest, waiting there to meet the two?
"After all, it wasn't a letter sent through a secret agent, and it would be quite troublesome if it fell into the hands of someone else, so Ah Zhong and Bao'er tried to avoid mentioning anything about the Dongyuan Imperial Court in it.
But Ah Zhong still vaguely hinted at the fact that the route of his group had reached King Xin.
"The first time I passed through the Dragon Tail Valley, I was lucky enough to take advantage of the fact that King Xin did not clearly indicate the route to the north. But now that King Xin has learned the fact that Ah Zhong and Bao'er deliberately bypassed Longji Mountain to avoid the beasts, he must have already been furious in Tokyo, if it weren't for the strong pressure from my stepfather, Ah Zhong should not have deliberately handed over the letter.
"The excuse has been recognized, and if you take the road of Longwei Valley again, you will be disobedient and disrespectful."
If Bao'er and Ah Zhong are okay, I'm afraid that with my embarrassing identity, I won't even be able to save my own life at that time, let alone protect you.
Tang Yinbrown didn't say the last sentence in the end, only replaced it with two wry smiles.
"Then we have to bite the bullet? Do you really want to try to negotiate with those orcs? I've heard that all the orcs are a hundred times more fierce than the tigers and beasts in the mountains, and I'm afraid it would be nice if we didn't gnaw at us even the bones. How can you obediently listen to what stupid things you say about submitting to the Dongyuan court? ”
When the words came out, Ah Zi felt that he was a little too small, and stroked his arm with a smile.
It's not that she doesn't believe in Ah Brown's power, but in the human world, he is only a half-orc after all—a weak human with only half beast nature.
Tang Yinbrown didn't care about Ah Zi's words, and only smiled and said: "King Xin ordered us to cross Longji Mountain, so let's go up hard, as for whether we want to convince the beast clan, whether we can convince them." You can only do what you can, right? Will be outside the king's life will be affected. ”
I didn't expect this to come out of Ah Brown's mouth. Ah Zi raised his eyes and looked at him in amazement, only to see him blink slyly at him with his head down.
"Longji Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, and no one knows which mountain the Beastmaster is entrenched on, so we just pick a mountain peak and climb it at random. It is very likely that even the shadow of the Beastmaster will not be seen. There is such a big thing as a question of racial stance. I'm afraid we're just talking to the orc minions on the mountain. They may not dare to listen, and they may not dare to report it if they do, right? ”
Listening to this set of rhetoric, Ah Zi said in a daze: "Ah Brown." Your tone and way of acting are becoming more and more like Zuo Qiyang. ”
Hearing this, Tang Yinbrown was stunned for a moment, then kissed Ah Zi's hair, and said, "I am the one he brought up, and it is not strange that I have the same vision and strategy as him." ”
I thought that sending Ah Zi to the Golden Forest was the end, so that she could stay away from the troubled waters of the Dongyuan Court, and at that time, she was still the loyal and filial minister who knew that the Dongyuan Court was still willing to devote herself to the Lord even if it was King Xin's lineage. But now it's different, he decided not to let go, then Ah Zi as his person can't completely get rid of the place where he has worked for many years, whether to continue to be loyal to the imperial court, or for the sake of Ah Zi and his own future, he will gradually get out of that place of right and wrong, is the problem he has to consider now.
He decided to choose the latter.
In fact, from the very beginning, he knew that sooner or later he would have to leave the Dongyuan Imperial Court—there was a favor for him, but after all, it was not in line with the justice that he truly longed for in his heart.
After a short period of distraction, Tang Yinbrown looked at the sky and said, "It's not early, let's quickly pack up and try to find a cave on the mountainside to rest." ”
Ah Zi obediently got up and went.
When it was finished, I found that there were six packages, four of which were set on two saddles, one of which was carried by a larger one, and the other smaller one had fallen on him.
The package that was given to herself weighed nearly twenty pounds in her hand, and she could carry it if she was able to carry it, but it was okay to walk on flat ground, and at this moment she raised her eyes to look at the steep mountains, she had not yet set off and her legs were already a little weak, and even her shoulders began to ache faintly.
blamed myself for being too greedy just now, I wanted to bring everything, and in the end, I packed up so many bags and came out, and I even suffered from myself.
"Can't carry it?" Ah Brown looked at her, saw her sad face, shook her head and lifted the burden on her hand.
"Who says I can't carry it?" Ah Zi was anxious, stepped forward and snatched back the burden, it took some effort to carry it on his shoulders, his waist immediately bent a little, but his mouth was still stubborn: "I have followed my master up the mountain to collect medicine since I was a child, and the basket full of medicinal materials is also carried from morning to night, and all kinds of mountain roads are not missing. ”
Tang Yinbrown nodded meaningfully, and really stopped mentioning the burden, and led the horse to the mountain.
Ah Zi looked at his back as he left so resolutely, and felt deflated, but he could only move his steps and keep up with difficulty.
At first, Tang Yinbrown would take into account Ah Zi's pace and slowly open the road in front, but seeing that the sky was dark, the two of them were still wandering not far from the foot of the mountain, so he unconsciously accelerated his pace.
Although Ah Zi complained bitterly in his heart, he gritted his teeth and insisted on following behind without saying a word, trying not to fall behind.
Although this mountain road is not so steep that humans can't climb it, after all, it is not as good as the mountains and forests inhabited by ordinary human beings.
Ah Zi looked up at Ah Brown's firm back walking in front and told himself that these were nothing.
But unconsciously looked down at his feet, only to realize that the two of them had reached the halfway point of the mountain hundreds of feet above the ground.
And because there is no grass or trees growing on this side of the mountain he climbs, he looks at the past without any obstruction, as if he is directly above the sky, floating in the air, and the old trees that were originally a few people tall under his feet are only as small as grass mustard at this time.
Ah Zi's heart tightened, his feet were soft, and he stepped on a smooth stumbling block that had been sharpened off the edges and corners, and his body flowed down like a mountain stream. (To be continued.) )
