The next day, the armies dispersed toward their destinations.

Lin Yuyan also led the Zongwei and the six hundred elites of the Wuyang Army to cross the water and go directly to Jingling.

"Your Highness, there are already many mountains in Yunmengze...... It is not safe to go out of the ancient road and other roads, but now I heard His Highness say that the [red-headed ghosts] in the direction of Jingling are coming towards Suiguo again, and if they take the official road, there is a chance that they will bump into them head-on! ”

The person who spoke was an old follower, Du Hui found a guide for Lin Yuyan, no name, the fourth in the family, Lin Yuyan called him Suiji.

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan also knew that his whereabouts must not be exposed, so he frowned and asked, "Is there no other way?" ”

Sui Ji thought for a while, and then said: "Yunmengze is eight hundred miles of Pingchuan, how can there be no roads in the south and north of the world, but the other roads are mostly trails, among which there are swamps and barren mountains, no one can say clearly!" ”

"Is there a way?!" Lin Yuyan confirmed.

Sui Ji thought for a while and said: "I heard the old people of Suiguo say that in the southwest of Suiguo, there is an ancient city called Huarong, if this ancient city is still populated, then there must be a small road that can be inserted in Daze to the Wulin ...... in the northeast of Jingling."

"Huarong Dao?!"

Lin Yuyan was surprised, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and it seemed that she had some acquaintance when she said this name.

"Your Highness knows?" Sui Ji asked, this Huarong ancient city, it existed when Suiguo was first built, about a thousand years ago, it is difficult to say whether there are traces of people in it, listen to the meaning of this highness, and actually know this infamous trail.

"I know it...... Lin Yuyan smiled bitterly, and then instructed everyone: "Just go to Huarong Road!" ”

Hearing His Royal Highness's decision, Sui Ji also nodded, all the ancient cities in Daze are places with mountains and rivers, and said at the moment: "Your Highness, there is the Fugong River in the west of the water, and the Fugong River and the Lishui River are the mother and son rivers, and you may be able to find a path to Wulin if you go up along the Fugong River!" ”

"Hmm." Lin Yuyan swept around and said, "Huarong Road is muddy and difficult to walk, don't be careful!" ”

"Whoa!" The soldiers answered.

Everyone found the Fugong River and walked upstream, and about two hours later, the traces of a ruined ancient city appeared in front of the soldiers.

However, compared to the old Tang Ancient City, there are still some people in this ancient city, although there are not many, but they also hear the sound of chickens and dogs.

Obviously, because this place is hidden, the roads with the outside world are all flooded with wild grass, so it is difficult for the Northern King Army who captured Suiguo to think of Daze and these people.

Lin Yuyan asked people to surround this ancient city, and the old patriarch in the city came out to answer, this is indeed the ancient city of Huarong, and there are only a dozen households in the city, less than 100 people.

I was also very surprised to see an army coming to Huarong, after all, this place is remote, and in the past, even if a hunter got lost and walked in, it was a thing that was not encountered in ten years, not to mention that there were still so many army people!

These people are old people, when the Chu State expanded, they didn't fancy the ancient city of Huarong, so they didn't care about it, and then the Chu State moved eastward, and the country was lonely, and the road to and from was covered with wild grass, and these people gradually hid in this ancient city of Huarong and couldn't get out.

Hearing that these officials and soldiers were the rebels of Suiguo, and at the moment they also heard about what happened to Suiguo, the old patriarch also sighed faintly, and then said: "Gu Huarong Dao is already extinct...... Now it is no different from Daze, otherwise others would not be able to find Huarong Ancient City! ”

"Is there no way out?" Lin Yuyan frowned and asked.

Suddenly, a burly man stood up behind the old patriarch and said to Lin Yuyan: "General, I am willing to lead the way!" ”

Seeing this, the old patriarch sighed heavily, and then said: "There are roads in Daze, but they are not human roads, and there are swamps everywhere, and people are trapped in them, and they can't save ...... at all."

"It's okay, I'll deal with the swamp by myself!" Lin Yuyan said to the old patriarch, then looked at the man who was willing to lead the way, and asked, "I won't force you, if you want to lead the way, you will lead the way, if you don't want to, you won't be willing." ”

"Yes!" The man answered.

Looking at the urgency on this person's face, Lin Yuyan also asked, "Want to join the army?" ”

"Hmm!" The man replied without hesitation.

Hearing this, the old patriarch was even more hesitant, and he stopped talking, obviously knowing the thoughts of his juniors, but he didn't agree.

At the moment, the military situation is urgent, and Lin Yuyan doesn't have any thoughts but solves the family's worries, and says: "Whether you want to join the army or not, it's all in the future, and now I just want to lead the way." ”

Hearing this, the old patriarch's complexion improved slightly, and then the man said: "My name is Hua Meng, although this Huarong Dao monument has disappeared, but there is a trick to choosing the road in Daze, the terrain has not changed much in thousands of years, and you can find a route similar to the ancient Huarong Road, that is, the swamp is difficult to predict!" ”

"Don't worry about this, I have a way to make people walk on the swamp without falling in!" Lin Yuyan said.

Hua Meng and the old patriarch showed disbelief and asked, "If this is really the case, the seventy-mile Huarong Dao will not be a problem!" ”

At the moment, according to the ancient city of Huarong to repair the army, Lin Yuyan asked the soldiers to cut down the big bamboo, cut it off at its pipe section, and then tied it side by side.

After all, it is a swamp, and in addition to the necessary things, the other baggage was given to the ancient city of Huarong by Lin Yuyan to repay Huameng's love for leading the way.

The clansmen in this ancient city of Huarong were all touched, and the old patriarch also instructed Hua Meng to lead the way.

When it was almost noon, Lin Yuyan stayed behind in Huarong Ancient City, after all, the whereabouts of himself and others could not have any accidents, that is, under the leadership of Hua Meng, they walked into Huarong Road.

Although Lin Yuyan was mentally prepared for the muddy and difficult walk of Huarong Dao, he actually watched it even more! Among them, the swamp is easy to say, Lin Yuyan ordered people to tie the bamboo raft under their feet, and use the pressure to not sink in, but the mountains and rivers in it are very boiling.

Hua Meng held a bamboo pole, encountered the terrain is inappropriate, is careful to explore the way, although Lin Yuyan made a bamboo row, but in some places still have to meet the mountains to open the road, meet the water to build a bridge, fortunately this Huarong ancient road is all trees, but there is no lack of materials.

But this time has come and gone, and time has been delayed.

When the twilight was about to be four, Lin Yuyan had already led his soldiers to a gourd-mouth terrain, and everyone found a boundary monument nearby, which was written in Chu script, and the Jing Chu script was very different from the Central Plains, but Hua Meng recognized that the three Chu characters on it were "Nan Yuling".

Hua Meng reminded: "General, you have already arrived in the area of Jingling, and there is only one Wulin and Yidu separated from that Jingling City, and it is not more than 30 miles away!" ”

Lin Yuyan nodded, and then turned around, this muddy Huarong Dao is really not a false rumor, the soldiers under his command are already weak, and now that it is dark, it is to find a place near the water to wash and rest.
