Chapter 988: The Mountaintop

"Path? It's true? Xu Zizhen's eyes lit up suddenly.

The man's words came out, but he twisted: "That...... At first, we were willing to lead the way for the sake of the gold leaf, but halfway down the road, we were thinking, will it bring you to the place, you ...... Hehe, you're going to kill us. ”

Xu Zizhen laughed and said, "Why aren't you afraid now?" What if I get to the top of the mountain and kill you? ”

"That can't be!" The man said with a resolute face, "Your Mr. Xu is a bright person, although I am a rough person, I am not blind." ”

Gao Pet couldn't help but be curious next to him: "Uncle, you have always wanted to ask you, you are also a golden person, why are you willing to take us to fight your imperial city?" ”

"the Imperial City, I'm from Bohai." The man said, "Anyway, whoever is the emperor in this place is the same, so can the imperial city break through my bird business?" ”

Everyone laughed when they said a word, the orthodox Jurchens were very arrogant, not to mention that they had really been used to it over the years, not to mention the destruction of the Great Liao, and the swallowing of half of the Great Song Dynasty, they really didn't take other races in their eyes.

"Okay, then it's hard work for your brother." Xu Zizhen didn't say much, and stuffed the stack of gold leaves in his hand into the man's hand.

"Thank you...... Thank you, Mr. Xu! Go, I'll show you the way! The man's voice trembled, he had never seen such a rare thing as gold leaves in his life, let alone such a stack, this cold and heavy feeling made him feel that the blood in his body was about to boil.

Xu Zizhen has long been familiar with the topography of Huining Mansion, not to mention the other three gates, but this north gate is a bit strange, because it is said that it is an open space outside the north gate, but the problem is that the mountain range in the west extends all the way, but it is closed here, so the entire north gate is built according to the mountain.

It would have been impossible for the army to enter through the north gate, for there was a stretch of road outside the gate that ran through two peaks, and it would take several miles before it began to level out.

Wandi Mountain is more than ten miles outside the north of the city, there is a military camp at the foot of the mountain, and this military camp is different from other places, because of the imperial city, so the camp tents in the military camp are not concentrated together, but scattered in this section of the plain from the north gate to the Wandi Mountain, there are several villages within a radius of more than ten miles, which is the layout of the Tibetan army in the army.

For the Jurchens, there is no enemy country in the north, so this kind of camp distribution method is the safest and safest, just to prevent some chaos, it is enough.

It's just that today, none of them would have thought that on a road not far from them, there were about a thousand people rushing forward in the dark, each of them carrying a huge backpack behind them, and under their feet was a plank that was flat in front of the back, and the heavy snow for days covered this field with a thick layer of snow, and this team of 1,000 people just slid on the snow with the help of the plank, without making a sound.

It was already bright, the snow had stopped, it was still overcast, and the north wind whistled the snow on the ground, blowing on the face as if it had been cut by a knife.

Xu Zizhen has reached the top of Wandi Mountain, sure enough, someone led the way is different, although he walked a few miles more, but he successfully bypassed the sporadic distribution of the Jin people's camp tents, the weather also helped, a night of heavy snow, the Jin soldiers were too lazy to patrol in this extremely safe rear, and Xu Zizhen their sleigh greatly reduced the residue of footprints, and arrived at the destination so smoothly.

"Lao Cha." Xu Zizhen took off the backpack behind him, panted and beckoned, "You take a break with your brothers first, go back after a while, and finally say goodbye to you, thank you." ”

The man who led the way was Lao Cha, he and the other two brothers had been following Xu Zizhen, and while leading the way, they also helped carry a lot of things, to be honest, they were really tired, and now that the place has been brought, he also slackened his strength and sat down.

Xu Zizhen took out a wine bag from his backpack and threw it to him: "Take it, it's the last bag, drink it warm." After speaking, he clapped his hands and shouted, "Come, let's get started." ”

Everyone began to unload their backpacks, and then took out all kinds of things from their bags, Lao Cha and his two buddies had just sat down to drink and rest, but they were attracted by the things in front of them.

First of all, there are all kinds of tools, axes, saws, chisels, etc., and the ropes with the thickness of the child's wrists are piled up in a large pile, and there is a large piece of thick bamboo tube on the ground, and the mouth of the cylinder is sealed, and I don't know what it contains.

What surprised Lao Cha the most was the rolls of sheepskins taken out of many people's backpacks, which looked like they had been nitrated and crushed, and then saw the big-footed women in the team come out and began to pick up those sheepskins.

Dozens of Hu people from the Shenji Battalion began to use those ropes to weave something I don't know, it looked like a net bag, but it was bigger, it was estimated to be two zhang square, and a dozen people took axes and saws to the side and touched the tree, this one looked at that one, and then cut it down.

Lao Kan was confused, and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Xu, what are you doing here?" ”

Xu Zizhen replied casually: "I want to make a basket, a basket that can hold people." ”

"Huh?" Lao Cha was dumbfounded, but after all, he worked in the wooden yard, and he understood in a flash, "What are you...... Knitting a pocket with a rope and then laying the board? But what's the use of pretending to be a man, sliding down the mountain from here? The round one that doesn't yo-yo has to be flipped over. ”

Xu Zizhen glanced back at him and smiled mysteriously: "Who said I was going to slide down the mountain?" ”

When the old man saw that he didn't say anything, he didn't dare to ask any more, but when he saw that the tree was splitting the planks after cutting the trees over there, he couldn't sit still, and stood up and shouted, "Hey, the board is not so chopping by you, it will break." As he spoke, he threw the bag to his fellow, and then ran over and snatched an axe, "I'll get as big as I want." ”

The two men glanced at each other, threw the wine bag on the ground, and ran over to help.

Bu Fen gestured with his hand: "It's almost so wide and long......" After speaking, he looked back at Xu Zizhen and shrugged his shoulders, fortunately, Xu Zizhen fooled a few skilled hands to play with wood this time, which saved him a lot of trouble.

From Yangzhou all the way to follow the twenty or so Taihu Lake village mother-in-law, all came to the top of this mountain, now in full swing to work, when on the boat they already know what they are going to do, what they have to do is to sew the pile of sheepskin, and finally put it into a ball.

They worked very hard and were very excited, because Xu Zizhen said that walking so far from south to north is nothing, and the most critical step is on them, because this ball can fly!
