Chapter 172: Misty Swamp

The Misty Cloud Swamp is a great danger in the ancient grassland, where the area is large and the terrain is very complex. Over the years, I don't know how many people have been stuck in the mud in the swamp and never come out again.

Yang Yun invited everyone into the tent and wanted everyone to come up with a solution, which made everyone worried.

Tens of thousands of people, including Tuoba and Yang Ying, were trapped in this misty swamp, and it was almost impossible to break out of the encirclement from the front.

"For now, only the southeast of the swamp, where the Kuban has the least number of men, is the best place to break through." Yang Yun said lightly.

"However, the most dangerous thing in the whole Misty Swamp is the southeast. For hundreds of years, it was rare to hear of someone who was able to get out of the swamp from the southeast. "This time it was the leader of a Shiye tribe who was very familiar with the terrain here.

"Now this is the only way to do, we will send people to the surrounding tribes to find some old people to ask, it seems that we will not be able to find a way out from the southeast." Ju Yuanguang pondered for a long time and said helplessly.

"I heard that forty years ago, there was a small tribe when a man came out of the southeast of the swamp." A man from the Night Tribe said with some hesitation.

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we cannot give up." Yang Yun said resolutely.

The next few days were busy. Yang Yun divided everyone into several groups, and searched around within a radius of hundreds of miles from the Misty Cloud Swamp to see if anyone knew the way out of the southeast of the Misty Cloud Swamp.

The hard work paid off, and after more than ten days of searching, everyone finally got accurate information.

More than forty years ago, a hundred miles away from the Misty Cloud Swamp, a small tribe called Yulai, more than a dozen people got lost in the Misty Cloud Swamp and unfortunately fell into the swamp.

These men of the tribe had their legs sunk into the mud, and in order to survive, they had to struggle desperately, trying to find a way out of the swamp.

The environment in the swamp was very harsh, and several of the dozen or so men of the tribe were soon completely swallowed by the silt and died in the most dangerous place in this ancient grassland.

Seeing the number of companions around him decrease one by one, the rest of the people had no choice but to continue to move forward.

As everyone continues to move forward, there are fewer and fewer partners around them, and everyone's hearts are full of despair, but the desire to survive supports them to keep moving forward.

After a long period of difficulty, in the end, there was only one man named Hegua left among the dozen or so people, and at this time he was completely desperate, and he just relied on instinct to move forward with difficulty.

As he walked, he suddenly stepped on his feet. On the ground, he was immediately ecstatic and continued in this direction. Finally, I finally saw the green grass and successfully walked out of the Miyun swamp, which is known as the "land of death".

After walking out of the swamp, Hegua checked his surroundings and realized that he had actually walked out of the misty swamp, the most treacherous southeastern direction.

After the people sent by Yang Yun got the news, they immediately sent people to rush to the tribe more than a hundred miles away from the Misty Cloud Swamp.

But to their disappointment, more than forty years had passed by this time, and this man of the tribe named Hegua had been dead for many years, and could only get a general route according to the description of his descendants.

After hearing the report of his subordinates, Yang Yun asked everyone to discuss together, and when they heard this situation, everyone fell into deep thought.

Only by virtue of the general route described by Hegua, want to succeed from the southeast

It was obviously very difficult for Fang to get out of the Miyun Swamp.

Yang Yun sent many people to continue to investigate, but he did not get any other clues. In the end, after everyone discussed, they finally decided to pass on these collected clues to Tuoba Du first, and let him make his own choice.

Liu Yue and a young man from the Shiye tribe, pretending to be husband and wife, successfully deceived the Liuyi soldiers on the outskirts of the swamp in the name of collecting medicine, and entered the Misty Cloud Swamp.

Originally, according to Yang Yun's arrangement, he was unwilling to let a little girl take risks. But except for Liu Yue, no one here knew how to use carrier pigeons, and coupled with her own insistence, Yang Yun had to agree to let her go.

Half Moon Island is the largest green space in the Misty Cloud Swamp, and it is also one of the few relatively safe lands in the most dangerous land in this ancient grassland, and Tuoba and tens of thousands of Liuyi people loyal to him are now stationed here.

Here, they temporarily escaped the siege and interception of the Liuyi loyal to the Kuban, but trouble quickly found them.

The enemy couldn't get in, but they couldn't get out either, and after a short period of stability, everyone was in a new predicament.

They had less and less food with them, the temperature was getting colder, and there was a serious shortage of clothing, and if they didn't think about going out, they would starve to death or freeze to death in this cloudy swamp.

In these days, there are already some people who are not strong-willed, sneaking out and surrendering to the forces loyal to the Kuban.

The situation became more and more dangerous, and Tuoba had no other way, and several times he organized a breakout, but he was driven back by those loyal to the Kuban.

Just when Tuoba Du and his men were at a loss, some of his soldiers reported to him that they had captured two messengers who were supposed to be sent by Yang Yun.

Tuoba Du didn't believe this news at all, because Yang Yun was far away in Wu County, and it was indeed too far away from here, so he couldn't send his men here at all.

However, the token handed over by his subordinates completely stunned Tuobada, because the golden knife sent by Tuoba Du was given to Yang Yun by Tuoba Du himself back then.

When he saw Liu Yue, Tuoba Du was happy, because Liu Yue and Yang Yun came to Liuyi together, and when Tuoba Du went to Xijing, he also saw Liu Yue who served Yang Yun many times.

Tuobada, who was overjoyed, immediately asked people to go and invited his wife Yang Ying.

Although Yang Ying is a princess of Dafu, she has been running around with Tuoba Du these days, and now she is still surrounded by enemies, but she has always been very strong.

But when she saw Liu Yue, she couldn't control her emotions anymore and hugged Liu Yue and cried.

Tuoba stood aside, quietly looking at his wife. He also knows that Yang Ying has been under a lot of pressure in his heart these days, so let her release it to her heart's content!

After a long time, Yang Ying finally regained her composure, took the silk scarf handed over by her husband, and wiped the tears on her face with some embarrassment.

At this time, Liu Yue had the opportunity to tell Tuoba Du the news that Yang Yun and they had found in the periphery, and at the same time handed over a sketch drawn by Yang Yun himself

I heard that Yang Yun actually came to the Wangu Grassland. And just on the periphery of the Misty Cloud Swamp, Tuoba and Yang Ying were very happy, but they were also happy that they were also worried about Yang Yun's situation.

Receiving the news from Yang Yun, Tuoba Du was overjoyed. Before that, they had also tried, coming out of the cloud swamp from the southeast.

But unfortunately, the death squads they sent were without exception

Stuck in the swamp, no one ever came out again. After many failures, Tuoba was reluctant to risk the lives of his brothers.

Tuoba immediately summoned the leaders of his various tribes to discuss the matter with them, and finally everyone finally reached a consensus, and now there is no other way but to become a dead horse doctor.

A meadow in the misty swamp, which is rarely visited on weekdays, but today stands a large group of shirtless men.

At this time, each of these men carried a large bundle of reed poles on their backs, and each of them had a resolute look on their faces.

These men are all warriors who have finally volunteered to participate in the exploration of the path. Although they knew that the chances of surviving the trip were slim, they still did not hesitate.

"Brothers, thank you for taking the risk to find a way for tens of thousands of us. Before leaving, Xiao Wang toasted everyone, Xiao Wang swore here, if you have misfortune, you will be kind to your relatives! ”

After saying this, Tuoba Du looked around at everyone with a solemn expression, and then said: "Xiao Wang is respectful first, I wish you all victory!" ”

Immediately after, Tuoba Du took out the wine bowl in his hand and threw it to the ground.

"For the sake of my father and fellow villagers, I swear to find a way out!" A young man standing at the forefront, following the example of Tuobada, finished the bowl of wine in one gulp and threw the bowl on the ground.

"For the sake of my father and fellow villagers, I swear to find a way out!" Behind the young man, a thousand men of the Root Tribe shouted in unison, moving neatly, drinking the wine in the bowl in one gulp and throwing the bowl on the ground.

After doing all this, this thousand paths, the warriors no longer hesitated. They were divided into teams of ten, with a resolute look and a firm step, walking step by step towards the swamp.

"Brothers, you go first, if you can't find a way out, we will be brothers on Huangquan Road." Looking at the distant backs of these pathfinders, Tuoba Du muttered with tears in his eyes.

On the meadow, Tuoba Du led tens of thousands of Liuyi people, quietly watching these warriors slowly move forward, with a look of anticipation and grief in their eyes, unwilling to leave for a long time.

The Pathfinders divided into several teams and walked forward slowly, the Misty Swamp was famous, and sure enough, the mud quickly spread to their calves, thighs, and finally to their waists.

They sank deeper and deeper into the mud, but these pathfinders, as if they didn't feel it, still took heavy steps and walked forward step by step.

Perhaps the bravery of these men touched the heavens and the earth, and after the mud reached their waists, they finally stopped sinking, and everyone immediately lifted their spirits and continued to move forward step by step.

The tens of thousands of people on the grass, looking at the warriors moving forward, although the speed of movement was very slow, they finally did not sink any further, and the stone in their hearts finally landed. From this point of view, there is still hope for everyone to get out of the cloud swamp from this direction.

God seems to be joking with everyone, just when everyone's hearts are starting to lighten. In the distance, in a group of pathfinder warriors, a sturdy man who was walking in the front suddenly sank down.

Seeing that most of his body was slowly sinking into the mud, the man hurriedly used his hands and feet to try to walk back and get rid of the mud in the swamp.

But evidently, his efforts were in vain, and he sank deeper and deeper, and soon the mud arrived, and then his chest and neck, and then his whole body fell into the mud, and only the outstretched hand was exposed.

In the end, this hand slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.
