Chapter 283: Stranger
And then you look to the left-hand side, about forty snakes away, and you can see a big rock? ”
The bearded snake is a common snake in the valley of the blood clan, about two feet five inches long, and often hibernates due to the cold weather of the desert. Unlike other snakes that hibernate in a ball, the snake always freezes itself into a straight stick, which the locals will use as a crutch, and sometimes they will also take it to measure objects, and after a long time, they will use the length of the snake as a unit. Although this method of measurement is not common in most of Shakoye, it is very common in the territory of the Bloodline.
So as soon as the woman said forty snakes, Gorihan immediately understood how far it was.
At that time, the sky was already dark, and he was a little unclear, and was about to order someone to draw out a torch and light it, when he was suddenly stopped by the voice:
"No ignition!"
Gorihan didn't know what he meant, so he barely squinted, and sure enough, he could vaguely see the distance of a large rock.
"See, and then?"
"You've gathered your men and horses, and when you take a breath, run as fast as you can!"
Ge Lihan wondered, such a large stone was in front of him, where was there a road, and so many people under his command were afraid that just a few dozen of them would be able to drain the surrounding area of the stone.
"This ...... But I don't see a road. Gorihan asked.
"Do you want to live? If you want to live, do what I say! Remember, the faster you run, the better! Don't look back! The voice was a little impatient, but very persistent.
put aside the two roads in front of him, but pointed out a dead end to himself.
Gorihan hesitated for a moment, making a choice he couldn't believe himself.
Listen to this woman.
He ordered someone to whisper the general's order to the back, and saw that all the troops had basically been assembled, and took a deep breath.
"Let's go! To the left, follow me! ”
With a leap of his horse, Golihan jumped off the road and into the grass on the side.
Strange to say, the grass that seemed to have no road, but after just a few steps, a path led straight to the big rock.
The soldiers behind saw that the commander had left the main road, and although they didn't know what the situation was, they also followed with their horses.
Amazingly, when he got to the front of the big rock, Gorihan found that there was really a road hidden behind the stone! Originally, there should have been three roads here, but at some point this boulder rolled down from the mountain and lay across the road, and after a long time, no one walked, so the weeds overgrew and covered the road.
The boulder blocked the way, and it was inconvenient for pedestrians to walk, but the cavalry with him were all cavalry, and he could cross the boulder with a slight leap.
The sky was getting darker and darker, but fortunately there was only one road, which did not prevent Colihan from galloping with all the cavalry. As he galloped forward, Gorihan wondered if the woman could keep up with him if he had ridden so fast.
Thinking of this, the reins in his hand hesitated for a moment, and suddenly the woman's voice sounded again:
"Run! Don't stop! The rebuke is undisguised.
I don't know how long I ran, but I suddenly felt that the forest in front of me had been left behind, and there was an undulating hill in front of me, although the sky was completely dark and I couldn't see clearly, but there was the sound of gurgling streams in my ears, and the wind blowing on my face didn't seem to be as like a knife before.
It's just a separation
Can the difference in climate be so great in a mountain forest? Since there is a stream, it means that there is no freezing, and the country of Bihai is indeed located in the south, and it is also warm and pleasant in winter.
When Gorihan was secretly amazed, the woman's voice said:
"Quick, take out your torches and light the fire!"
"Didn't you say you wouldn't let the fire be lit?"
"I'll order you if you want to!" The voice was clearly annoyed again.
Greham no longer questioned and ordered the torches to be lit.
"Now throw all the torches away from the woods!"
As soon as Golihan gave the order, the soldiers did so. In the blink of an eye, the mountains and forests had been set on fire, and for a time the flames soared into the sky, burning the road when they had just come into a cloud of smoke.
Ge Lihan watched the fire in the mountains and forests, and then looked back at the soldiers he led, basically there was no damage, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The firelight lit up the forest and illuminated the surroundings, and when he turned to look, he saw a man standing in front of him, dressed in a crimson tunic hunting suit, with a black cloth covering his face, revealing only a pair of eyes staring at him.
Gorihan immediately reacted that the woman who spoke earlier should be the person in front of him, and immediately dismounted and knelt on one knee and bowed solemnly. When the soldiers behind him saw that the lord was like this, they also dismounted and bowed down.
The woman was unceremonious, sat down on her horse, and after the crowd had finished saluting, she said, "All right, all on horseback, it's night, and we have to go some way." ”
As soon as the words fell, there were suddenly several earth-shattering crackles in the forest behind him, faintly mixed with the wails of the soldiers.
The woman sneered, as if to say to herself, "Eat the consequences." Regardless of whether Coleham followed him or not, he turned and rode forward.
Corriham hurriedly mounted his horse and followed, and the woman said, "The road is narrow, so you can now walk with torches." ”
There is an indescribable majesty in this woman, but it is not offensive, on the contrary, Corrihan has been galloping on the battlefield for many years, and there is also a feeling of being impressed in front of this woman.
"Thank you heroes for your guidance along the way, dare to ask what heroes should be called?" As soon as Ge Lihan's words came out, he suddenly felt that it was only the etiquette that he should report his name first, and added: "Under the blood smoke eight horses Ge Lihan, a blood clansman." ”
Eight horses of blood and smoke, famous all over the world, no one knows.
The woman just let out a faint "oh", and didn't seem to pay attention to the Blood Smoke Eight Riders at all, but asked, "Your name is Golihan?" Who are you? ”
Gorihan was really surprised! More and more respectfully replied:
"It was my father. Dare to ask the hero, but do you know my father? "I wondered how she could see the connection between me and my father?
The woman looked puzzled and pointed to his shoulder.
It dawned on Ge Lihan that she had a family crest tattoo on her shoulder, and she must have asked this question when she saw it. There are several noble families in the blood clan, Ge Lihan is one of them, although the family crest of the blood clan is a flame, but according to the different branches, the flame pattern also has some slight deviations, the flame tattooed on the shoulder of Ge Lihan has a total of five petals, is the highest status of the clan, and the rest of the small clans have only two or three petals, that is, such a brave person as Che Buhua ranks among the eight horses of blood smoke, because it is the blood clan that takes refuge on the way, and the family crest is only three petals.
The woman in front of her knew the difference just by glancing at it, and Gorihan couldn't help but ask
Said: "The hero must be a member of my blood clan, right?" ”
"Hmm." The woman confessed, but she didn't want to say a word.
It seems that he does not want to reveal his identity...... Ge Li was reluctant to say, so she had to stop asking. He suddenly remembered something else, and asked:
Fang Cai Hero mentioned that he saw Wu Qing with a military general with a golden sword. Where is that military general now? ”
"Dead." The woman replied indifferently.
Ge Lihan guessed that Bu Silu was more than lucky, but when he heard the woman say it with such certainty, his heart was sad. After all, they are subordinates who have been with them for many years, although there is a difference in military rank, after a long time, they have a brotherly relationship with each other......
"Alas, it's a pity......," sighed Grihan.
The woman suddenly said angrily, "What is a pity? You men all lose their souls when they see beautiful women, this kind of people deserve to die! ”
Ge Lihan was stunned, he didn't understand why this woman was suddenly angry, although he had seen her stinky temper at every turn before, but it was obvious that this time was quite different, and the disgust for Bu Silu between the lines was overflowing from the bottom of his heart.
If this had been left to someone else, Ge Lihan would have been so angry that he would have slashed it over, and he was born in front of this woman, so he could only bow his head and endure without speaking.
After walking silently for a while, the atmosphere became a little awkward, but there were still a lot of doubts in Gorihan's heart, and he couldn't help but break the deadlock and ask, "Where does the hero want to guide us?" ”
"Aren't you hungry? Aren't you sleepy? The woman asked rhetorically, "I've been tossing for most of the day, and I'm hungry anyway." ”
Oh...... It turned out that he was going to take himself to a place where he could camp and settle down. Ge Lihan knew that he didn't have much food and grass with him, and if the woman in front of him could help him solve his military needs, it would really be of great help.
Since the other party intends to help, then they can't ask for it. Ge Lihan arched his hand and said, "I still have something unknown, please teach me hero." ”
"Say."
"Was there an ambush on those two roads just now? So where did Wu Qing go? ”
The woman's tone didn't seem to be as harsh as before, and she said, "I can't blame you for this. That slut Zhu Yutang made up his mind about the beginning to cut you into several pieces and break them all, first cutting the cavalry formation in half on the Thousand Ponds, and then luring you into the forest and then dividing a part to explore the way, and then ambushing you in the dark. In fact, you have been calculated from the moment you set foot on Senkanuma. The three or four thousand people under your command were led by Wu Qing on the shore, and if you don't go ashore, you will wait to be frozen to death at night, and if you go ashore, you will only have to ambush, and you will have no choice. ”
In fact, Gorihan had realized this when he had come ashore earlier, and he seemed to have a choice, but in fact he had no choice.
The woman continued: "Wu Qing, nicknamed the Three-Faced Fox, is the best at demagogic people's hearts, except for the one who lured the golden knife before...... Called......"
"Buslu."
"Well, except for that one time, it was herself, and what you saw later in the forest was all fake."
"Then those two forks in the road......
"It's all ambushes and traps, just waiting for you to take the bait. In fact, there are three roads at that intersection, but Wu Qing really doesn't have so many troops at hand, only enough to ambush in two places, she guessed that you can't see the third road on the left, so she planted the soldiers on the other two roads. But she's still worried that you'll see that way......"
