After marching for a few days, Mu Qingfeng and the others had already walked half the way, and Mu Qingfeng saw that the people around him were living very hard, and he couldn't imagine that there was such a scene in Wuguo today.

General Zhao was afraid of Mu Qingfeng's identity along the way, and was very polite to him, but secretly Zhao Linrui was dissatisfied with his father's behavior, and there were all kinds of dangers when he went out to fight.

secretly mocked Mu Qingfeng in his heart, he was a prince, but it was useless.

"When we arrive at Qiuyu Pass, after passing this level, the next stage is a section, and we will be considered to have entered the customs." In the resting tent, Mu Qingfeng and the Zhao father and son discussed the next march together.

Zhao Linrui was a young man because of his martial arts, famous teachers, and prominent family backgrounds, so he had followed his father to fight in the big war when he was young, and now he is the deputy general next to his father, and has experienced many large and small battles, and the soldiers in the army admire him very much.

One of the four young men in the capital really deserves its reputation, Mu Qingfeng is grateful to these soldiers, and he also wants to train himself through this actual battle.

Zhao Linrui walked to the sand platform where the formation was arranged, and marked the terrain one by one according to the news sent back by the scouts sent from the front, and it could be seen that the terrain passing through Qiuyuguan was very steep and rugged, and it was only a few days of rain now, which made the road slippery and inconvenient for carriages and cavalry to pass, and the difficulties and obstacles on the road ahead were self-evident.

Mu Qingfeng listened carefully to the analysis of Zhao's father and son, "To pass the test, these steep mountains are roadblocks, a few days ago I heard that several villagers encountered heavy rain when they went up the mountain, and were buried alive by the mud and sand washed up on the mountain, the structure of this mountain is not stable, and we must be cautious." Zhao Linrui's expression was serious, for such a terrain and the bad rainy weather, if he wanted to continue to advance, it would be difficult, he had been marching for many years, and knew that such an environment would cause unpredictable dangers to the soldiers.

Almost all the soldiers in the army were personally selected by him, they were soldiers and brothers who fought side by side, Zhao Linrui was affectionate, and he couldn't bear to hurt anyone because of his choice, and he was anxious to rush to the urgent time.

"The two peaks are indeed steep, but there is a river separating them, and I wonder if we can take the waterway." Mu Qingfeng saw some clues from the topography, Liu Si had told him before, such a terrain plus a river, there must be an underground river or a karst cave, if you advance by water, the risk can be reduced by half.

After hearing this, Zhao Linrui was full of anger, "Waterway? The three princes are really whimsical, if there is a heavy rainstorm, such a river will definitely cause a flash flood, and I am afraid that there will be no return. Even though Mu Qingfeng is the prince, Zhao Linrui is very dissatisfied, and he pretends to understand it even though he doesn't understand.

General Zhao, who was observing the two of them from the side, immediately scolded Zhao Linrui, "Rui'er, presumptuous, dare to talk to the third prince like this." I think there is something merit in what the third prince said. ”

"Father, you are deliberately currying favor." Zhao Linrui couldn't bear this breath, thinking that even his father had to fight against him at this time.

"You bastard, get out of here and practice the art of war." General Zhao was angered by Zhao Linrui's ignorance of the situation and his arbitrary behavior, and he swept the face of the three princes, if the emperor knew this, what would it be good if he blamed it.

And can the things that my sister and brother-in-law ask me to continue, I only hate my elm-headed son, can I do anything except for making a mistake? Don't let him mess with the good things when you play.

When Zhao Linrui heard this, he dropped the flag in his hand and walked out of the camp in anger. Only Mu Qingfeng and General Zhao were left, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

In order to alleviate this atmosphere, General Zhao opened his mouth, "The dog is young and frivolous, and he has no way to discipline him, and he has offended His Highness, and I hope that His Highness will forgive his sins for the sake of the dog when he is still young." "General Zhao and Mu Qingfeng are not familiar with each other, they can't figure out his temperament, and they also know the truth that a companion is like a tiger.

Mu Qingfeng smiled lightly and waved his sleeves, "It's okay." This matter is over, for Mu Qingfeng, Zhao Linrui's temper can't provoke him at all.

looked at General Zhao in front of him, "Qingfeng wants to ask the general for a few people?" ”

General Zhao knew that Mu Qingfeng didn't mean to blame, and he was happy for a while, but he was curious why Mu Qingfeng wanted someone from him, "The third prince wants someone, this is?" “

"After the breeze has cleared up the truth, I will report this matter to the general."

General Zhao didn't ask anymore, since Mu Qingfeng had already said this, there was no need to continue asking, "Okay, the third prince, but it's okay to say it." “

Mu Qingfeng named the names of a few soldiers, and after listening to them, General Zhao sent people to find these people and asked them to follow Mu Qingfeng.

Long ago, Mu Qingfeng asked Mu Qing to go with him in the barracks, and Mu Qing reported the news he had collected in the barracks to Mu Qingfeng and knew a lot of things.

Tonight he wants these soldiers who are very good at water.

An hour after the rain stopped, Mu Qingfeng took Mu Qing and these people to change their clothes and hurried to the foot of the dangerous peak, and saw a falling rock.

Sure enough, the rain in the past few days has caused the soil on the mountain to be soft, and these rocks have fallen in the past few days, and you don't have to think about it to know that if you fall on people's bodies, you are afraid that you will definitely die.

Not far from the foot of the mountain is the river bank, Mu Qingfeng asked these people to carefully explore along the direction of the river flow, there should be a karst cave nearby, the speed of the water flow is not fast, if you find the cave, you can go into the water to explore.

It didn't take long for someone to find a shallow cave mouth in one place, Mu Qingfeng stepped forward to take a look, it was really a cave entrance, but it was not big, only about three feet wide, but it could be seen that there was an opening under the river, so it was estimated that this cave could be one zhang wide.

After learning about this, Mu Qingfeng waited for someone to go back.

The next day, Mu Qingfeng took General Zhao to the place he found last night, and after a night, the river receded a lot, and sure enough, the hole became much larger, enough for horses to pass through, but it was not known whether the hole could lead to the expected exit, General Zhao immediately sent someone to investigate, and after two hours, the soldiers who went to investigate came with a happy face, saying that this hole can directly pass through this mountain, and the bottom can be completely passed.

General Zhao was overjoyed, he didn't expect that these three princes really had the ability, so the speed of the march would increase a lot.

After returning, General Zhao ordered the soldiers to go down and let the soldiers rest for a while, and in the afternoon they began to continue their journey.

When Zhao Linrui heard this, he was immediately unhappy, "No, if it rains outside the cave, the rain will flow into the cave, isn't this a waste of time for the soldiers to die." He was reluctant to follow Mu Qingfeng's route.

This made General Zhao difficult.
