The next morning, just after dawn, the sun in the east rose a little, and Zhaoyun and his group of five led the horse on the road.

If you count according to the current time, it is just about half past four at this time, and everyone has not woken up yet, even including Zhaoyun and the five of them.

Although they blocked the mouths of the two post officers before leaving, at most in an hour or two, the two of them could spit out the rags in their mouths and shout for help.

I don't know how they will explain their appearance, if they say that they have been attacked by bandits...... It's not bad, a few of his men are bandits.

But they had to be fast, after all, Mianzhu was just two horses, and it wasn't good for people to see.

Out of Mianzhu, it is a narrow mountain road, this situation, immeasurable said: "Boss, this mountain road will go down twenty miles will have a square fork, one leads to Zitong, one leads to Mianshan, there are several big tribes there, but the folk customs have always been strong, and you can't go!" ”

As he spoke, the four brothers trembled, and they seemed to be a little afraid. In the past, they robbed several people from the Mianshan tribe, and the four of them were actually hung up and beaten by a big man, which became a shadow that they could not walk through in their lives.

Zhaoyun knew that the Mianshan in their mouth, called Mianyang thousands of years later, was the second largest town in Sichuan, and was named Mianyang because it was in the south of Mianshan.

Wubian relieved himself and continued: "There is another road to the northern country of Mang, which is the place where Diqiang and Shushan develop together, and it has always been barren and isolated from the world......

Ran Shu Zhaoyun had heard that strictly speaking, this was not a country, but a group tribe, and even the Qiang tribe where he belonged was also born in Ran Shu. And the area where Ran Lu is located is now Maoxian, Beichuan and other Aba prefectures.

"And what about the last road?"

Wushuang said: "The last road is the path we have to take, this road passes through Jiangyou, more than 800 miles long (800 miles measured by the Qin and Han dynasties is about 600 miles now), if the foot is fast, you can reach the Jialing River north of the Jiange after ten days of trekking. ”

Zhaoyun nodded, and ordered Wubian to open the way in front, and he went to the back to help Invincible Puller.

These horses were used to being lazy, and now they had a stubborn temper when they walked this rugged mountain road, and no matter how invincible pulled, the two horses still walked extremely slowly, almost by invincible brute force.

Seeing that he couldn't pull it, Invincible ran to the back of the horse in a hurry, ready to push it away.

"Don't go behind them!"

However, Zhaoyun shouted too late, and Invincible was just about to raise his hand to push the horse, when two horses and two hooves kicked him in the face. Now, there are two more black marks on the' eyes, just like they didn't sleep well last night.

"Don't stand behind horses in the future, horses are very timid, if you stand behind them, they can't see them, and they will attack you because of their timidity!" Zhaoyun smiled and pulled away from the invincible, while comforting the horses, "Let me come, you go first." ”

Invincible looked at the two horses with fear, and ran away, but he was snickering in his heart, waiting for Zhaoyun to be deflated.

But Zhaoyun is not invincible, he walked towards the two horses confidently, and the two horses suddenly put their ears close to their heads, this seemingly small action gave Zhaoyun a signal - they were wary of themselves!

If you lean over at this moment, you will most likely be attacked by them!

However, Zhaoyun was not alarmed, he held his head high, and walked towards the horses with a smile on his face, although the two horses were vigilant, but when they looked at Zhaoyun's eyes, they found that his eyes were burning like fire, but there was no slightest malice, and his vigilance was much lowered.

He flicked the manes of the two horses, allowing them to relax completely.

Relying on his dexterous hands, Zhaoyun finally comforted the two horses, and they no longer resisted, allowing Zhaoyun to lead them.

Therefore, you must convince people with virtue!

Invincible looked at Zhaoyun in surprise, and it was difficult to hide the admiration in his heart: "Boss, you are really amazing!" They didn't understand how I pulled them just now, you ...... It's just a touch, and they're so obedient! ”

Zhaoyun smiled: "Everything has a spirit, and people are the elders, as long as you are willing to communicate with them patiently, they will be willing to obey you!" ”

"What if you meet a tiger?"

“…… Stinky boy, are you here to find fault? ”

The two of them each led their horses, and finally caught up with the three men who were walking in front; Wushuang Wuliang looked at the two thin horses, smacked his lips, and asked, "Boss, can this horse be ridden?" ”

Zhaoyun shook his head: "They are too thin, I'm afraid they will collapse if you sit on them!" ”

Moreover, there was no saddle in these years, and the horse's belly had to be tightly clamped when sitting on horseback, so most horses were still used as chariots, and only ethnic minorities had cavalry.

(It is said that the saddle stirrup was invented in the Han Dynasty, and the saddle said that the stirrup was extremely difficult to ride a horse before it was invented, but the ancients were not fools, and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were even more capable, didn't anyone find this problem?) The author thinks that there are no stirrups, but there are predecessors of stirrups, such as taking a rope so as not to fall off the horse)

"These two skinny horses...... How much can it be sold for? Immeasurably dissatisfied, "It feels like it's still troublesome...... Why don't we kill them, the horse meat tastes good! ”

"I didn't say this was for sale, it's useful, just wait!"

Zhaoyun said nothing, so naturally no one dared to say anything against it. Under the leadership of Wubian, he gradually moved away from Mianzhu City, and the road became more and more wide, surrounded by barren grass and mountains, if there was no dirt road below, Zhaoyun could not find the direction at all.

The sun was rising, and the five of them walked very quickly, and immediately found the four crossings that they had begun to mention.

Wubian recognized the road and pointed to one of them: "This road is to pass through Jiangyou!" ”

Zhaoyun nodded, and was about to pull out, when he suddenly heard the sound of rustling in the forest on the side, as if there was a beast hidden in it, everyone's nerves immediately tensed, and they were ready to follow Wu Song at any time.

"Thorn-"

The bushes were lifted, and out came a man in tattered clothes and unkempt hair. The man's dirty face was covered by unkempt long hair, and he couldn't see his face clearly, only one eye was bloodshot, and he stared at the boss and stared at the five people in front of him.

He stepped into the netherworld like a demon, and went to the sun to claim the soul.

It's a pity that even if Zhaoyun knows him, he can't see it under such a appearance. That's right, this person is Du Hongchuan who escaped from Xiangyi after killing Yang Tiantong and fell into trouble here!

Du Hongchuan lives in Shu all the year round and does not know the geography of Shu at all; At first, he went directly north from Xiangyi, but he ended up in the realm of Ranqi and almost lost his life. After walking for three months, I couldn't find a way out, and wandered around in Shu.

Recently, there have even been rumors in the tribe that there is a lost wild ghost outside the mountain, which will appear at night to eat children, so that those tribal dolls no longer dare to run down the mountain to play at night.

Du Hongchuan has been gone for a long time, every time he meets a living person, he is scared away by his own face, and now that he has met someone again, he is almost numb.

However, holding on to the last glimmer of hope, Chao Zhaoyun asked, "Dare to ask...... How to go on the road of Tho country? ”

The five people looked at each other, Wushuang was honest, and was about to say that they were going there too, but they were slapped on the head by Wuliang, and whispered in his ear: "Don't talk nonsense, the boss hasn't opened his mouth yet!" ”

Wushuang hugged his head aggrievedly, but he always felt uncomfortable when he didn't say anything.

Invincible looked at Zhaoyun and asked, "Boss, ...... you see?"

"It's just an ordinary person who has lost his way...... But just to be on the safe side, don't let him follow us all the way! ”

"The boss means ......"

Wuliang quipped: "Big brother, you don't understand this? And voila! ”

After that, Wuliang walked out with a shaky move, and pointed to a avenue: "Go down from this road, cross a mountain after Zitong, walk for about fifteen days, and you will find the way after the Sword Pavilion!" ”

Wuliang knows what Zhaoyun means, if he doesn't follow them all the way, then show him another way!

Du Hongchuan was stunned for a long time, and then screamed, threw the dog beating stick in his hand into the sky, and cried bitterly: "God! I've finally found my way! I've finally found my way! ”

The dog-beating stick almost smashed to the boundless, and the boundless hurriedly dodged and scolded: "I'm afraid this person isn't crazy, right?" ”

"Let's go, let's go, leave him alone, we still have to hurry!"

Zhaoyun led everyone away slowly, letting Du Hongchuan shout there and grab the ground, until they were far away, Du Hongchuan gradually stopped, picked up the dog beating stick again, and limped towards Zitong......

The fire in his heart is not extinguished, and he will not stop for a moment!
