Chapter 250: A Dangerous Swamp

Yu Jin laughed and said, "The captain is polite, my subordinates think that it is best for us to enter Shu Dao as soon as possible, so that we can wait for the army sent by the emperor while exploring how bad the situation inside is."

Besides, the captain also said just now, there are people in the capital who are restless, so we must strike first and occupy the most favorable terrain first, in case someone comes to sneak attack. After all, in terms of numbers, we are not the most advantageous. ”

Yuan Gang nodded and said, "Okay, let's go now." ”

The night after Yurun and the others returned to the barracks was relatively calm, except for the worry about the swamp, most of them rested early after eating and drinking.

Although there are many mountains and forests on the Shu Road, it is not easy to find so many long and strong pine trees, so everyone is tired enough to choke all day.

The warm mountain breeze mixed with the sound of insects one after another, like an extremely coordinated lullaby, soon led everyone's sleepy insects out.

Yurun didn't have the habit of going to bed early, but the hard work of rushing still made Zhao Ling'er and Jiang Peipei, who were not very high, feel tired.

In order not to disturb the rest of the two people, Yurun walked out of the tent and planned to find a quiet place to practice, and by the way, he would take care of the wind for everyone.

"What, aren't you tired?"

Yurun had just jumped onto a tall ancient tree when a familiar voice came from the side.

"It's me." Murong Chenhe jumped to Yurun's side and said.

Yurun looked back, nodded, and said, "I'm not tired, I plan to take care of the wind for everyone here, and cultivate by the way." ”

Murong Chenhe raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect that under the march for days, the county lord would still have the energy to continue cultivating. It doesn't seem strange to have today's cultivation. ”

Yurun laughed and said, "Genius is not refined from the womb. Speaking of cultivation, you may not see any progress in practicing every day, but if you practice for a few days, you can indeed see obvious regression. Practitioners still start with a single step. ”

Murong Chenhe paused for a moment and said with a smile: "The county lord is also a transparent person, if he can say this, the county lord will also be the dragon and phoenix among the people in the future." ”

Yurun shook his head, but smiled silently.

"This trip to Xishu, can the county lord be sure?" Murong Chenhe then asked.

Yurun pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth." It is uncertain that Xishu will not return to Beijing. ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Murong Chenhe's eyes, and he said approvingly: "Although the county lord is a woman, he acts like a man. I appreciate it very much under it. ”

Yurun shook his head and said, "False praise, false praise." I just don't want a rat poop to spoil a pot of soup, if Xishu has been unstable, it will shake the foundation of the Murong Dynasty, and it will be the common people who will suffer at that time. As a cultivator, we should have the common people in mind. Otherwise, no matter how diligent your cultivation is, you won't be able to comprehend a higher realm. ”

Murong Chenhe asked curiously, "Does the county lord want to ascend?" ”

Yurun laughed and said, "But all those who practice don't want to ascend to the Tao. ”

Murong Chenhe heard Yurun's only relaxed words tonight, and turned his head, but was attracted by a pair of eyes as bright as stars.

"The county lord's eyes are really good-looking, like stars in the night sky, shining, full of anticipation and yearning."

Yurun blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "You used to think that your cousin's eyes were good-looking, do you men think they look good when you see everyone." ”

Murong Chenhe was stunned for a moment and explained: "Yuelan is indeed beautiful, but it is indeed a heroic beauty, solemn, calm, decisive, and wise, which makes people marvel but dare not get close, just like a beautiful treasure, for fear that it will be desecrated if you are not careful."

And the county lord has a little more fireworks, although he is also smart and amazing, but everyone is willing to get close and make friends. In Yuelan's life, apart from you and Ling'er, there are very few real friends, and most of them are fighting alone. But the county lord is not, it is also a practice, and the county lord is more down-to-earth. ”

Yurun sighed in his heart, he has two lives in his life, he has experienced life and death, and he should be like this for anyone.

"Thank you, General Murong, for the compliment."

Yurun smiled faintly and said.

Murong Chenhe didn't stay on the tree for long, and when sleepiness hit, he went back to the camp to rest.

On the second day, not long after the sun took over the moon's shift, the camp began to assemble.

Murong Chenhe walked up to Yurun and asked, "County Lord, have you all packed up?" ”

Yurun nodded and said, "Well, we're all packed." ”

"The generals listened to the order and continued to move in the direction of Xishu, the mountain road was steep, and they all cheered up." Murong Chenhe walked back to the front and shouted loudly.

All the soldiers said in unison, "Yes, General." ”

Murong Chenhe's long army was like a long snake, marching on the winding mountain road. The quiet mountain road, but everyone's hearts are not quiet, thinking of the coming swamp, one by one like a small drum beating, I don't know what role the long pine stick in the hand can play.

In this world, I am really afraid of something, and after an hour, Murong Chenhe waved his hand, and the army stopped and stood in place and waited.

"County Lord, look at the situation here, can we pass smoothly?" Murong Chenhe looked at the endless swamp, and his heart suddenly became a little overwhelmed.

Yurun turned his head sideways and said, "General, don't worry, let me take a look first." ”

With that, Yurun focused all his attention on the swamp, which had a lot of grass growing on it, and it looked like a grassland. If it weren't for Jin Tongyan's exploration in advance, maybe he wouldn't have discovered the danger here.

If there are so many weeds growing in this swamp, maybe there are some places where you can still walk. But it is estimated that it is still difficult for so many people to go to one place.

Yurun spread out his palms and gently beckoned, "Baby, how are you?" How many times has it been recovered? ”

A white light flashed, and the baby lay quietly in Yurun's palm.

"Seventy or eighty, what's wrong?" The baby asked curiously.

Yurun pointed ahead and said, "This swamp, I need your silk." ”

The baby looked at it for a long time and said, "It's not that difficult. Do you want them to hold on to my silk and walk away to prevent it from falling into the swamp and not being able to get out? ”

Yurun nodded and said, "Yes." Pepe, you summoned the cheetah. ”

Pepe's arm turned out, and a ferocious cheetah appeared in front of everyone.

Yurun squatted down, gently stroked the fur of the cheetah, and asked, "Cheetah, can you cross this swamp?" Because I need to lead the way in front, and then at the end of the line, I need someone who can hold the baby's silk. I think you're the only one who can withstand so much manpower. ”

Cheetah lowered his head and said, "I have always lived in the back mountain of Lingshan Academy, and I have not walked through the swamp, and I am not completely sure. ”

The baby poked his head out of Yurun's palm and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll come back and roll you up with silk, and you can take it to the other side." ”

When the cheetah heard this, he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's do it." ”

After speaking, the baby spit out a silk as thick as a little thumb, flew into the mouth of the cheetah, and was bitten by the cheetah.

Yurun turned to the soldiers behind him and said: "Soldiers, I will lead the way in the front, remember to poke the surrounding swamp road with a wooden stick when you follow behind, and remember to hold on to this silk, if someone falls into the swamp and can't get out, don't struggle, you must firmly hold on to the silk, and I will come to save you when the time comes." Did you all hear me clearly? Don't walk around. ”

Murong Chenhe followed closely and said, "Have you all heard the words of the county lord clearly?" ”

"Yes, I remember."

The soldiers responded in unison.

Yurun said to Zhao Ling'er and Jiang Peipei beside him: "You two also remember my words and follow closely behind me. If you fall into it and shout at me, the baby's silk must be caught. ”

"Don't worry, you can lead the way. We'd better get through this damn place as soon as possible. Zhao Ling'er said with novelty and fear.

Yurun nodded and said to Murong Chenhe, "Murong Chenhe, then I will lead the way in front." Hurry up and keep up. ”

Murong Chenhe responded: "Well, you can rest assured to go ahead." ”

After explaining again, Yurun took the first step forward with the pine stick in his hand.

When they saw Yurun standing steadily on the swamp, the people behind him all breathed a long sigh of relief and followed closely behind, for fear of making a mistake.

As it approached noon, the sun had climbed overhead, scorching the rancid swamp, making the already smelly swamp even more disgusting, and therefore the hunger pangs less pronounced.

But even so, the heavy sun above their heads, coupled with the slow march, made the soldiers begin to become dry mouths and lips, but they did not dare to let go of one of their hands to take the kettle, so they could only endure it.

"Run'er, how long will it take? I'm dying of thirst and stinking. Zhao Ling'er said weakly.

Yurun said while exploring the way forward: "The baby went to explore the road just now, and it is estimated that it will take half an hour." ”

"What, it's going to be half an hour, I can't hold on anymore. It's too bad for the Golden Eye Yan to leave, if only it were there, it could fly directly with me. Zhao Linger said with a bitter face.

Jiang Peipei encouraged in the back: "Ling'er, you grit your teeth, in fact, half an hour is quite fast." We practice swords on weekdays hour by hour. ”

Zhao Ling'er asked puzzledly, "Pepe, aren't you thirsty?" How to speak with a lot of anger. Have you ever secretly drunk water? ”

Jiang Peipei said amusedly: "Unless I have a third hand." Now you concentrate and work the Force in your body, and let the Force support your physical strength, which will make it easier for you. ”

Zhao Ling'er asked Run'er again: "Run'er, aren't you tired or thirsty, don't you think this swamp stinks?" ”

Yurun shook his head and said, "Pepe and I are almost always running the Force in our bodies while walking, so I can block out these rancid smells." Besides, generally speaking, it's not for nothing when I don't eat or drink for a few days, do you see something wrong with me? ”

Zhao Ling'er sighed and said, "Okay, then I'll try." ”

Murong Chenhe, who was following behind Jiang Peipei, said: "County Lord, Miss Ling'er is thirsty, why don't we stop for a while and leave?" ”

Yurun refused without thinking: "General Murong should know the truth of one go, and then three times and then exhaustion. As long as we stop once, there will be countless times when we stop to rest, drink, and eat. But we're on a swamp now, and danger is always coming. The only way to get out of the swamp as soon as possible is to do so. Moreover, the baby has only recovered six or seven percent of his strength, and I am afraid that it will not be able to hold on. After all, it had to go back and bring the cheetah back. ”

Murong Chenhe nodded and said, "Miss Ling'er, then you still have to hold on a little longer, and when you get to the flat ground, I will ask Wu Yi to give you a barbecue to eat." ”

Recalling that she had eaten Wu Yi's barbecue two days ago, Zhao Ling'er licked her somewhat chapped lips and said in a dry voice:

"Murong Chenhe, you don't lie to me."
