It was none other than his sworn enemy (self-styled) Mu Caiying who stopped Chu Hao.

As soon as Chu Hao looked at the person, he was already a little anxious and irritable: "Why are you here?" ”

Mu Caiying was choked up when asked: "What do you mean why am I here?" Why are you here? ”

Chu Hao held the torch in one hand, and the expression on his face was clearly extinguished under the writhing firelight, lined with the cool night breeze, like the king of Senluo Yama who crawled out of the underworld: "Mu Baihu, this official is asking you." ”

When he said this, the volume did not increase by half a minute, but Mu Caiying's whole body trembled. He sued himself that it was cold, and that it was because the official level crushed people to death, so it was not that he was afraid.

"Returning to Lord Qianhu, I am ordered to lead the team to assist in guarding Gaotou Pass and Wunan Pass." He set out almost as soon as he was ordered, but it was too late and he had to camp in the wilderness for the night.

Chu Hao was slightly stunned, remembering that there was still this stubble. Just to scare the words of the king of Yue Ze, it is really not necessary for Mu Qianhu to go out in person, and the four words of assisting in guarding are very doorway. Of course, they can't really take scaring people as an order, but assisting the guards can make a false shot, or they can really help defend them. Mu Qianhu is saving military merit for his nephew.

Of course, military merit is not so easy to accumulate, and there are still some dangers in this task.

Chu Hao didn't plan to mix, just nodded, thought about it, and asked, "Did you see anyone passing by?" ”

Mu Caiying was stunned all of a sudden, what does it mean that anyone has passed by? Isn't Chu Hao human?

As soon as Chu Hao saw Mu Caiying like this, he knew that he had asked the wrong person, so he simply asked him to call a general flag to come up. Mu Qianhu takes a fancy to his nephew, and the person who gives him is definitely not bad.

The general flag called up clearly stated the number of people encountered at the beginning of the march: "...... After nightfall, no one was found. ”

Ruan Bai and Zhang Da Niu are both horsebacks, and the third child is born with four legs. Ruan Bai didn't say it, it must have been earlier than them. As for Zhang Daniu, they probably missed it.

Chu Hao could only continue to follow the marks left by Zhang Daniu to find someone.

Mu Caiying, who stayed in place, saw Chu Hao leave without saying a word, a mouthful of old blood in his throat, and he was angry at the general flag: "Why did you choose to camp here?" "It's a good place to meet your rivals in the middle of the night!

The general flag looked innocent: "This place is suitable for camping nearby, the terrain is high, and there is a water source ......"

Listening to the voice of the general flag, the more he spoke, the quieter he spoke, Mu Caiying's face turned red, and he knew what an idiot question he was asking. He can be regarded as a general, and he has been taken by his Qianhu uncle almost since he was a child, even if he has no actual combat experience, he can memorize the things on paper. Especially in the area of Shunyang Pass, where is suitable for camping, where is suitable for sneak attack and ambush, what is suitable for retreat, etc., Mu Qianhu has already explained to him clearly, and most places have taken him around on the spot......

said that Chu Hao ran all the way, but he didn't go far before he met Zhang Daniu.

When they met on the dark and narrow mountain road, the two of them were shocked, and they both held torches, and the two sides were considered to be shun lì teachers.

Chu Hao saw that there was only Zhang Daniu alone, and there were no three dogs, so he knew that someone was looking for him, and asked, "Where is the person?" "Stinky boy, when he is caught, he must be taught a hard lesson, and he must be made to know the pain in order to have a good memory. When Ruan Bai goes out in the future, he must be accompanied by three or five people......

Zhang Daniu bowed his back and said, "The adult is resting at a friend's house, and the villain wants to come back first to report a message." He looked at Chu Hao's face under the firelight, and couldn't help but distinguish two sentences for his adult, "My lord was taken astray by obsidian today, and he couldn't find his way back, but fortunately he met a kind person." The one and the adult hit it off at first sight, and the mountain road was difficult to walk at night, so he invited the adult to stay overnight. Lord Chu don't worry, the third child is with them......"

The more Zhang Daniu spoke, the quieter he became, and he always felt that the mountain wind blowing from Chu Hao was freezing cold, and it was obviously summer, but he stood up with goosebumps.

Jealous men are unreasonable. Chu Hao only felt that his heart was sinking more and more the more he listened, knowing that his feelings were wrong, but he was powerless to stop it. Friends? Familiar at first sight? I don't want to go home at night!

"Where's the man?"

The sense of crisis that the former Orion had cultivated in the face of fierce beasts for many years instantly exploded, and without saying a word, he took Chu Hao to walk around the mountain road.

This place is considered to be the boundary of Gaotouguan. However, unlike the real Gaotou Pass, the mountains and forests are precipitous, and this can only be regarded as the remnants of Gaotou Mountain, like Zhang Daniu, who grew up hunting in the deep mountains and old forests, it is simply a small dirt slope, and there is no problem at all when you walk back at night.

Rely on the mountain to eat the mountain. Villagers often come to dig up some wild vegetables and pick some wild fruits or something in the nearby mountains, and after a long time, you can clearly see all kinds of vertical and horizontal mountain roads on the ground, and some places have been filled with stone strips.

Chu Hao followed Zhang Daniu for about half an hour before he heard Zhang Daniu say: "It's here, it's here." ”

"Here?" Chu Hao's face twitched, and he looked around at the place where there was no difference from before. If he hadn't been clear about Zhang Daniu's background, he would have suspected that he had been brought into an ambush.

Zhang Daniu also knew that this place was easy to cause misunderstandings. At that time, if he hadn't taken the third child with him, he wouldn't have been able to find this place even if he died.

"Lord Chu, go here." He walked to a mountain wall and gestured with a torch, "There is a road here." ”

Chu Hao walked to the front and found the so-called road.

The slightly concave mountain wall is two overlapping layers, and there is a gap in the middle, which is very narrow, and the person who is a little wider and fatter cannot enter it at all. "There's still an old tree growing at the entrance.

Chu Hao used a torch to shine around, and found that the light in this place was not good during the day, and he didn't know who had such good eyes that he could find this road and use it...... At this point, he paid a little attention.

Obviously, this place could not be entered on horseback, so he followed Zhang Daniu to tie the horse and walked along the road.

After the tea time, the road changed, but this change did not become wider, but became lower and lower. Even if the average person finds such a narrow cave, they probably won't walk into it again.

When he walked a little further, Chu Hao found that the road began to slope downward, and a little artificial traces gradually appeared in front of him, with stones on the ground and a faint sound of running water below. The further you go, the louder the water becomes.

"Here it is." Zhang Daniu, who was leading the way in front, thrust the torch in his hand into a pit on the mountain wall, reflecting a tall wooden door.

The problem is that there is a cliff more than two zhang wide between the wooden gate and the middle of the road, and a small waterfall rushes down here, and I don't know how deep it is. The mountain walls on both sides, except for the place where the torches were inserted, were extremely slippery.

Chu Hao quickly looked at it and found that even if he wanted to go over, he would have to use some tools such as ziplines. However, he suspected that the zipline was useless, the wooden door seemed to have been treated, and the ordinary zipline could not be grasped at all.

Zhang Daniu pointed to the place where the torch was planted and explained to Chu Hao: "This is an institution, if you put a torch here, the people inside will know that someone is coming." ”

Sure enough, after the two of them waited for a long time, the wooden door made a creaking sound, and slowly lowered it flat, turning into a suspension bridge.

The third squatted on the side of the cliff and wagged his tail at Chu Hao: "Wang! ”

Chu Hao walked across the suspension bridge in two or three steps, frowning and looking at Ruan Bai who was squatting behind the third brother: "Second brother, are you making it easy to find your brother?" ”

Ruan Ergou raised his head with a smile: "Wang! ”

Chu Hao was almost laughed at angrily, stretched out a hand, and saw Ruan Bai obediently put his hand into his palm, and pulled the person into his arms with a slight force, and his heart fell back after hanging for a day, but he couldn't say a word of scolding.

Ruan Bai listened to Chu Hao's sigh in his ear, and felt a little weak. Where did he know how to find a way back, but he would meet a magical guy, and he couldn't help but stay and fool around.

"Brother, I'm sorry."

A weak, almost coquettish voice sounded in my ears. The flame that Chu Hao was still scurrying in his heart just now was extinguished in an instant. After a long time, he lowered his head and kissed Ruan Bai's head: "What should I do with you?" ”

I couldn't see the sky in this place, but if I counted the time, it should have been dawn a long time ago.

There are still a lot of things to do today, take 10,000 steps back, and the moment he meets Zhang Daniu and is sure that Ruan Bai is safe and sound, he should turn around and go back. But he still delayed for so long, he couldn't imagine what his colleagues and subordinates would think of him. Obviously in his position, the national righteousness is what should be put first......

He always thought he could do it. Now he found out that it was just that he didn't compare Ruan Bai. He could rest easy, just because he knew that Ruan Bai had been there all along.

Yesterday, Ruan Bai was suddenly gone......

Reason has given itself countless legitimate excuses, but the emotional tension has become more and more tense over time. He couldn't help but think, what if Ruan Bai just walked away? No one knows Ruan Bai's details better than him. Ruan Bai is not Zhou Qi, Ruan Bai doesn't have any concerns in this world, and he doesn't know how much weight the friendship that came from fighting together on the grassland. Sharing weal and woe or something, when Ruan Bai drove Ah Qiang Liniang and the others away without hesitation, he understood that it was nothing.

Thinking about it carefully, even if Ruan Bai has always looked at him differently, even if Ruan Bai has been so close to him, one day Ruan Bai wants to leave, in fact, he has no way at all. How can he keep Ruan Bai? Just because he forced Ruan Bai to call brother?

It was only one night that he had become like this. Obviously, he knew that Ruan Bai was different from him, Ruan Bai actually liked him very much, trusted him very much, and trusted everyone more than him. Ruan Bai was willing to show many inappropriate things in front of him that he knew was problematic, such as abacus, fire kang, stirrups and so on. Ruan Bai trusted that he could protect him.

However, doesn't he trust Ruan Bai? Does he not trust Ruan Bai to stay by his side forever?

Ruan Bai noticed Chu Hao's fierce aura rising in an instant, and then he was suppressed by himself, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, let's go home." He can't live up to Nguyen Bai's trust in him. Ruan Bai had obviously given him enough peace of mind, but he had been limited by various external factors and could not give him any promises.

Ruan Bai opened his mouth, he originally wanted to say that he would leave later, thinking that Chu Hao came over overnight, he didn't know the current situation, so he couldn't say anything if he refused, so he could only nod: "Then you wait for me, I'll call the big fat and the little fat, and then say hello to the owner here...... Ah, Ah Qing, you got up so early? Just about to say hello to you, my brother came to pick me up...... By the way, do you want to go to my house? ”

Chu Hao let go of his arm slightly, and watched Ruan Bai greet a slightly shrunken figure.

The figure held a candlestick, a portal small enough to be seen clearly.

"Chen Chuhao, I have seen His Royal Highness King Yue Ze, His Royal Highness is a thousand years old."

Ruan Bai glared, looked at his rabbit-like little friend shaking his small voice, and said weakly: "Excuse me...... Excuse me. ”
