Chapter 277: Arriving at Langyu Peak
The dawn is slowly coming.
Xiao Zhanfei stood aggrievedly under the tree on the side, picking at the trunk while chanting words.
The sun has climbed high, and the other two countries have basically packed up, just waiting to go, and the prince of his family is still wandering around enjoying the scenery - it is just a disgusting swamp here, what is there to see?
In desperation, he had to step forward to ask if he wanted to pull out the camp and go on the road, but Tanglin Guyun waved his hand again and again, saying that the princess was tired last night and needed to sleep a little longer. When asked again, he scolded with a sinking face, saying that he didn't understand the amorous feelings.
Xiao Zhanfei was unhappy, he hid under the tree with a broken face, and kept thinking in his mouth: "I just don't understand the amorous feelings! I don't have a wife and concubine, how can I understand the amorous feelings......?"
It wasn't until the other two countries cast suspicious glances at the leader that Tanglin Guyun coughed lightly and turned into the tent. Duanmu Youning was struggling to get dressed, and when he saw him, he suddenly resented: "It's too much!
Someone's face was full of innocence: "I warned you last night that you may not be able to make it today today." β
"You still say!" Duanmu Youning glared at him fiercely, "I said a few times last night that I didn't want to, why didn't you listen?!"
"I heard it, but I couldn't control it, I couldn't stop. Tanglin Guyun smiled and stepped forward to dress her, "I already want you every day, and I pressed you hard for another month, is it easy for you to be me?"
Duanmu Youning glared at him again, and he became even more innocent: "If you look at me like this again, this dress will be worn in vain." β
Duanmu Youning was startled, and immediately dressed honestly, and by the way, he bit him into slag in his heart!
Seeing this, Tanglin Guyun smiled like a cat that had succeeded in stealing fish: I believe this? It's too easy to deceive! I don't know if I asked for it ten or eight times last night, and I am not an iron fighter, how can I be so brave? Of course, the night is almost the same!
Everything was put in order, and the army was finally back on its way. Under the leadership of Donglin Guyun and Duanmu Youning, the process of crossing the swamp was quite smooth, and the two had negotiated the road in advance, so the army would naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
Although many people stumbled and fell into the quagmire on the way, because they took precautions in advance, they would be immediately pulled out by their companions to ensure that their lives were safe. Six days later, they managed to pass through the swamp without any casualties, which is a miracle!
Leaving this ghost place, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but cheer, as if they had just turned around the ghost gate. Now the guards are tasked with finding a place to rest and cooking on the fire, while the heads of state come together to discuss the next course of action.
Spreading out the map, Yu Wenheng first said: "I said before that there is no record on the map after passing through this swamp. But look, everyone, there is a peak not far ahead, and I think it should be Rongyu Peak!"
In the direction he had pointed out, there was a continuous mountain range, one of which rose from the ground and towered into the sky, standing out from the surrounding peaks. Needless to say, that was indeed the destination of their trip, Lang Yufeng!
Months of hard work finally paid off, and everyone was a little excited. Especially Yu Wenheng, he couldn't wait, and followed and said: "After eating, let's continue to move forward, it shouldn't take long to reach Qianwei Mountain, and then go straight to Langyu Peak." Do you have any comments?"
Everyone shook their heads and said that they had no objections, and immediately ate and rested, and after a short rest, they went straight to Qianwei Mountain.
This is already the northernmost point of the Yulin Kingdom, and I don't know what the place is further north, so Qianwei Mountain is even more deserted than Jiujue Mountain, and there is no way to have a road on the mountain. Fortunately, with the previous Nine Peerless Mountains, everyone has accumulated a certain amount of experience, which is not to be feared.
Tanglin Lonely Cloud and Duanmu Youning both have deep internal strength, and it is effortless to climb. It's just that he has just walked for two hours, and he heard Xue Jingyue's breath starting to be rapid and disordered after him, obviously his physical strength was a little exhausted.
Looking back at her, Duanmu smiled and said, "Miss Xue can still support it?"
Xue Jingyue shook her head: "I'm fine, if I can't support it, I will rest myself." β
Although her tone was gentle, her voice was a little tense, and it was obvious that she could not treat this "rival in love" like everyone else. Duanmu Youning didn't care eitherβnow that the result was much better than she expected, it seemed that the move was the right one.
After a little hesitation, she took a few steps back and held Xue Jingyue's hand: "I'll accompany you, you won't be so tired." β
"You ......"
Xue Jingyue was stunned for a moment before refusing, but suddenly found that a soft internal force spread from Duanmu Youning's palm to his body, and he was suddenly as light as a swallow, walking like flying, and he didn't feel tired and laborious at all!
Taken aback, she sincerely admired: "The princess has such a deep internal strength, no wonder she can walk side by side with Brother Guyun for so long without falling behind half a step, and you are so wise, I ...... I can't compare. β
Duanmu Youning still smiled indifferently: "The deep internal strength is because I have endured the pain that ordinary people can't bear, and the wisdom is because I have accumulated the experience of being deceived too many times, so I am not smarter than you, let alone luckier than you." It's you, although your family suffered misfortune when you were young, but you have been cared for by the prince, at least your growth process is carefree, not like me who has experienced life and death. β
Xue Jingyue was stunned, and suddenly felt all kinds of tastes in her heart, and for the first time, she really reacquainted herself with this woman who she hated to death! Thinking of everything she had endured because she was as ugly as a ghost, she couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, you are also quite bitter." β
Duanmu Youning turned his head to look at her, and smiled more gently: "It's not easy to hear such words coming out of your mouth. Still, I'm happy. β
Xue Jingyue blushed slightly: "I'm sorry, I did a lot of mistakes in the past. You may wonder how sincere this apology is, but I still have to say that your hammer did give me a sense of enlightenment. β
"I believe you, because you were a good girl. Duanmu Youning nodded, "You did something wrong, in fact, you also blame the prince for using the wrong method, cold treatment is not effective at all times." Of course, don't blame him, because this is the first time he has encountered such a thing, and he doesn't know how to deal with it best. β
"I never blamed him. Xue Jingyue shook her head, looked at the back of Tanglin Guyun and said stupidly, "If you want to blame, you can only blame me for not being good enough to win his heart." β
Tanglin Guyun turned around, slowed down his pace and said softly: "Jingyue, it's not that you're not good enough, it's just that I'm not your lover, understand? One day when you meet someone who really belongs to you, he will think that you are the best person in the world." β
As he spoke, he held Xue Jingyue's other hand, and also transmitted the internal force into her body to reduce the burden of Duanmu Youning. Looking at the two people who were protecting themselves, Xue Jingyue was calm: it was actually a very good thing to be their sister.
Entering Qianwei Mountain, the army headed towards Langyu Peak while discerning the direction. Although it is still full of cliffs, it is much more comfortable than the dangerous swamps.
All the way to Langyu Peak, everyone stopped temporarily. Yu Wenheng looked around, leaned in front of Donglin Guyun and Duanmu Youning and asked, "King Zhan, princess, according to the investigation, the Valley of Styles is about five hundred zhang away from the peak of Nongyu Peak, but the specific location is unknown, do you have any further clues?"
Tanglin Guyun said in a deep voice: "According to records, the Valley of Styles sits in the north and faces south, leeward to the sun, and the approximate location can be determined. As for where is about 500 zhang from the peak, just look at the growth of plants and trees on the mountain. β
Yu Wenheng frowned: "Grass and trees?"
"Yes. Tanglin Guyun nodded, "The grass and trees on Langyu Peak show regular changes from the foot of the mountain to the top of the peak, and different plants grow at different heights. About five zhang from the peak, there are basically some tall thousand-year-old trees, which are easy to distinguish. β
Yu Wenheng nodded: "King Zhan is really powerful, and even these are clear." That being said, let's move on!"
Hurrying all the way and going slowly, the people who had gone through a lot of hardships finally arrived at their destination! Looking at the towering giant trees in front of him, even Yu Wenheng couldn't control the excitement in his heart, and asked in a trembling voice: "King Zhan, is this it?"
Tanglin Guyun wandered around for a moment, nodded and said, "It should be about the same, not in the middle and not far away." β
Yu Wenheng became more and more excited, and the heads of state also issued orders to go down one after another, asking the large troops to find suitable places to set up camp. Because they will spend their time here until they find the underground palace and carry the treasures inside, the tent must not only be tightly tied, but it will finally be able to sleep well!
After tidying up their dwellings, they scattered and went to hunt pheasants, hares, etc., and plucked their feathers and entrails with the mountain stream, cleaned them, and set up a fire to roast them. In addition, many people picked all kinds of wild fruits and vegetables, and the joy seemed to be about to celebrate the New Year.
The biggest problem now is that there is not much food left, and it is best to save as much as possible, and it is best to replace it with game, otherwise it will be difficult to return.
After a while, bursts of strong aroma drifted away with the wind, attracting more and more people to salivate, and the sound of laughter and conversation spread far and wide. Xiao Zhanfei handed the roasted pheasant to Tanglin Guyun: "Lord Wang, please." β
"I'm not hungry, you eat," Tanglin Guyun shook his head, his brows furrowed slightly, "Rong Yufeng is so tall, 30,000 people living in it are actually like a swarm of small ants, I am afraid that it will not be a day's work to find the underground palace." β
Xiao Zhanfei just raised the pheasant to his lips, and when he heard the words, he put it down again: "It turns out that the prince is worried about this, so that he doesn't even have an appetite?"
