Chapter 188: Mountain Pass
"Second Brother Ma, how many days can we get there?" Dingguo asked.
At the same time, Dingguo, Song Xiance, and Ma Er were also discussing the foothold they were about to arrive.
"According to Eleven, Xiaozhi and they can get there in three days, I estimate, we have to go for five days." Ma Er replied.
"Then we'll be there in two days." Song Xiance, who was on the side, spread out the map in his hand and pointed to a certain point on the map, "Second Brother Ma, look, is Zhuolu Mountain here?" ”
"Ouch, Song Xiaolang, I don't understand this thing." Ma Er waved his hand again and again.
"Look at the direction and the road, it should be about the same, old Song." Dingguo stretched out his hand, pointed at the map, and recognized the marks made by Song Xiance, he followed Song Xiance during this time, and basically learned how to read the map.
"But I think we'll be there in less than two days." Dingguo put his hands behind his head, lay on his back on the ground, and said comfortably, "Alas, after walking for more than half a year, I can finally have a stable foothold." ”
Song Xiance nodded, "According to the morale of these two days, it can be faster, but a day and a half is required." ”
Since the news spread that the destination was about to arrive, many people, like Nannan and Dingguo, had given birth to hope out of thin air, and the speed of travel, which had been reduced due to excessive exhaustion, became faster again.
"I wonder if that place can accommodate so many people?" Song Xiance put away the map as he spoke, he was concerned about more practical issues.
As for whether they can take this place, none of them are worried.
At this moment, Zhiwen and Kewang were lying in the field outside the Zhuolu Mountain Pass, listening to Huang Si and others introduce the specific situation.
The people in the cottage may be afraid to reveal their location at night, or they may be confident in the level of seclusion, even though it is dark and not lit by torches or lanterns.
"Brother Zhi, this mountain is not small, there are more than ten or twenty miles in radius, we have all gone around in a circle in the past few days, it is either a ravine or a cliff, except here, no other place can go up." Huang Si briefly said the results of their recent investigation, in short, it was two words - dangerous.
"Isn't that better, we'll be safe." Zhiwen said.
"By the way, there is a stream that flows down from the mountain and joins Zhuoshui." Huang Si then reported.
Zhiwen is happier, and there is a water source, so it will be even better.
"Okay, except for the night watch, let's all sleep for a while." Zhiwen decided to start the operation in the middle of the night or even at dawn, this time he didn't have to rush like in Yanjia Village, and he could choose the best time to attack.
When Zhiwen was awakened from his slumber by the night boy one by one, it was the darkest time before dawn.
"Follow me!" After Zhiwen finished speaking, he took the lead and ran out.
The scene in front of him seemed to be a classic reproduction of that night in Yanjia Village, the height of this pass was about the same as the city wall of Yanjia Village, and Zhiwen climbed up it very easily.
The pass is very narrow, and Zhiwen needs to enter the gatehouse alone, and after solving the guards, he will put a rope for Kewang and them to climb up, otherwise there will be many people coming up at once, and it will be easy to alarm the guards.
The three guards slept soundly, and Zhiwen didn't kill them, but just knocked them out.
According to Huang Si, the surrounding mountain people are the eyes of these bandits, indicating that they have a good relationship with the locals, and even they themselves are locals.
In the future, Zhiwen will take everyone to take root here, and the consequence of indiscriminate killing is likely to be a stiffening of the relationship with the surroundings, so no matter how hidden the place is, it will also be betrayed.
Kewang followed the rope and was the first to climb up to the pass, and after everyone was ready, he was the first to rush into the dark night behind the pass.
"Be careful!" Zhiwen followed behind Ke Wang, and quickly pulled him, but Ke Wang's first step out was pulled back by Zhiwen before he landed on the ground.
Zhiwen then whispered, "Stop! Shengsheng stopped the team that was about to start.
"What's wrong? Zhiwen. Kewang asked.
"Take a good look."
The big guy lowered his head, and when he saw it clearly, he was in a cold sweat, and he was even more afraid.
In front of them, most of them were hanging cliffs, but Wang stepped on the empty place just now, and if it wasn't for Zhiwen pulling him, he would have fallen.
There was a narrow road in the middle, which looked barely big enough for three people to squeeze side by side, but farther away, it was impossible to see how wide it could be.
Thanks to Zhiwen's good eyesight, it has snowed again, and although the night is dark, there is still some difference between having snow and not having snow.
It's really a good place, Zhiwen secretly thought, with this terrain, even if someone attacks it, it will suffer a big loss here.
Ke Wang's nerves are big, and he didn't scare him when he almost took that step just now, and he took someone to that road.
"Forget it," Zhiwen stopped, "wait until it's darker." ”
This road is unfamiliar, and there is snow, and the soles of your feet may fall down if you slip, anyway, the pass has already entered, there is no need to rush at this time, and there will be no delay in moving at dawn.
Although the scope of this mountain is large, Zhiwen believes that the place where those bandits live will not be too far from the pass, otherwise it will be very troublesome to change guards and report news, as long as you cross this road, you should be able to find them quickly.
At this time, it was more than half an hour, until the eastern sky showed some bright colors, and with these bright lights, the road conditions and boundaries could finally be seen more clearly.
"Zhiwen, is it okay?" Kewang can't wait.
"Okay, okay, go ahead, don't hurt anyone's life." Zhiwen confessed.
"Okay!" Kewang's voice was gone.
Zhiwen didn't follow, at that time, this group of people robbed the caravan, he had already heard Huang Si say, at that level, it was not the opponent of Kewang and his men, not to mention that now his own side was still sneak attacking.
When Kewang and the teenagers disappeared on the path, Zhiwen beckoned Huang Si and the others to go in with him, he was also a little excited, and he couldn't wait to see this place that was about to become their foothold.
The road surface was already a little rotten by Kewang and them, it was wet and slippery, even Zhiwen himself had to deal with it carefully, he fell on the flat ground, and it was okay to slide out of the road for a while, and he might lose his life here.
The group proceeded cautiously, and when they had walked a distance of more than a hundred meters, they finally came to the end, and a fairly flat slope was displayed in front of them.
Huang Si and the others impatiently chased down the footprints.
But Zhiwen turned around, looked at the road from which he came and the pass on the opposite side, and suddenly thought that if he built another pass on this side of the road, it would really be impregnable.
Think about it, the enemy worked hard to lay the first pass, but behind the pass was this kind of small road that was a bit pitiful, and it was hard to say that he would be squeezed by his own people and fall a few times.
When they come here again, they find that it is such a dangerous pass, will they be abused and cry?
And such a narrow road, no matter how many people there are, is a live target on the pass.
Thinking of this, Zhiwen couldn't help but be happy, so he did it and built another pass here as soon as possible.
