Early the next morning, Chen Le found Zeng Bu, and did not hide the matter of going to Daoling Mountain, but asked him to thank Zeng Gong on his behalf.

Zeng Bu and Wu Shisan discussed for a while, and decided to leave ten from the hundred private troops to protect Chen Le's left and right, Chen Le had no choice but to accept it happily, at this time Zeng Xihua said: "Xiao San, I want to go to Daoling Mountain with you!" ”

When Chen Le heard this, he immediately frowned: "What are you going to do?" I'm going to Zhang's house to do big things, what are I going to do with you a little girl! ”

"I'm going!"

"No way!"

"Why not?"

Chen Le said coldly: "This trip is dangerous, Miss Zeng is a daughter, for the sake of your safety, I can't take you there!" ”

Zeng Xihua curled the corners of his mouth when he heard this, revealing a very funny expression of you, and said faintly: "If Uncle Xiao doesn't take me there, I will expose your roots and let the whole world know who you are!" ”

"You ......" Chen Le glared, and said coldly: "Cherish the painting, even if you want to go, I'm afraid Old Master Zeng won't agree, Brother Zixuan, don't you say?" ”

Zeng Bu glanced at Chen Le, then at Zeng Xihua, spread his hands and said: "I can't do the things that cherish paintings, I have to ask Thirteen, did the eldest brother give him any explanation!" ”

Wu Shisan's face twitched, and he said in a low voice: "The head of the family has an explanation, but it is just ......"

"Just what?" Chen Le frowned and asked.

"It's just that the head ......of the family agrees that Miss will act cheaply," Wu Shisan said this, and immediately lowered his head.

Forehead...... Zeng Gong gave this girl autonomy, even if Zeng Bu and Wu Shisan couldn't restrain her, Chen Le understood in an instant, but he had all kinds of things to do when he went to Zhang's house, and some means were indispensable during the period, how could he take this girl with him?

Chen Le's face was gloomy, but Zeng Xihua pouted and said: "Xiao San, you don't have to look like this, Miss Ben won't cause you any trouble along the way, not to mention that I am skilled in arching and horses, and I don't need your protection, you can rest assured!" ”

Chen Le didn't want to take him left and right, but Zeng Xihua suddenly said: "You killed the people of the Langya Yan family, if you don't take me there, I will send a letter to the Yan family directly to expose your true identity!" ”

Ruthless enough, really ruthless! Chen Le's face gradually changed from gloomy to calm, this is really unscrupulous to achieve the goal, it seems that this girl is still very malleable, he smiled and said: "Cherish the painting, since this is the case, then I will take you there, but you don't want to get into trouble along the way!" ”

"Xiao San, don't worry, I won't cause you a little trouble!" Zeng Xihua saw that Chen Le was relieved, and immediately showed a bird-like demeanor, and said happily.

"Hey, that's good, that's good!" Chen Le nodded and said, "Then let's set off now, by the way, what about my two sledgehammers?" ”

"Hui Gongzi, the sledgehammer is here, and it has been hung on the victory hook of the bird's wing ring for you!" A guard who would follow Chen Le to Daoling Mountain hurriedly said.

"Okay, go and invite Zhang Gongzi, let's leave now!" Chen Le nodded and gave an order.

Half an hour later, Chen Le, Zeng Xihua, Zhang Bangchang and ten other guards had already left Handzhou City.

Zhang Bangchang can return to Qi from the border normally with the help of Lu Yin, and Chen Le has a certificate from the students of the Jixia School Palace, and he can also go directly to Qi State, but Zeng Xihua and the ten guards cannot go to Qi State through normal channels, because their identities are all from Zhao State, and there is no Lu Yin, and the two countries are hostile, so they naturally cannot go normally.

But this is not difficult for a few people, after all, in this era, it is impossible to completely block the border, not to mention that the world is still nominally a big world, so it is still easy to secretly go to Qi State.

There was a veteran soldier in the guard, who had participated in the great war between Zhao and Qi, and was very familiar with this kind of sneaking across the border, and he led the way at noon, more than a dozen people came to a canyon, and it took not long for them to come to a mountain after quietly entering the canyon.

The mountain is not tall, but it stretches for a long time, there are complicated paths in the mountain, although you can barely lead the horse, but it is not easy to walk, and the mountain road is complicated and difficult to identify, more than a dozen people did not cross this mountain range until the evening, and came to a small town on the other side of the mountain, and the location of this town is already within the territory of Qi State.

Except for the veteran, even Zhang Bangchang was not familiar with this town, and under the veteran's narration, the group knew that this town was called Pheasant Town.

Chen Le knew that most of Zengfu's private troops were soldiers who had retired from the Zhao army, but not so many had really been on the battlefield, and only this veteran had really fought among the ten people, so he couldn't help but ask curiously for a while.

The veteran's name is Zhang Shanshui, in his forties, this age is old enough in both the regular army and the private army, if there is no special talent, he will definitely retire and go home, because he has been on the battlefield and killed the enemy, so he has been left by Zeng Fu.

This landscape has been ten years ago in this pheasant town, so I am more familiar with this place, it is ten in the evening, the sun on the horizon is like blood, sprinkled with a brilliant light on the town, Zhang Shanshui looked a trace of obsession, muttered: "Ten years, there is no change here......

Chen Le looked at him and nodded secretly, it seems that this landscape is a person with a story, maybe there is a woman in the town who is still waiting for him!

"Childe, I know there's an inn here, why don't we go there and stay there!" Zhang Shanshui looked at Chen Le and said.

Chen Le nodded: "Lao Zhang, there have been several major wars between the two countries in the past ten years, why hasn't this town been affected by the war at all?" ”

Zhang Shanshui hurriedly said: "Childe doesn't know, although we can come here from the canyon, but the army wants to pass through it is extremely difficult, it will stretch the team very long, and after this town goes out, there is still a long distance from the nearest county of Qi State, because of the relationship of time, so it can't achieve the effect of sneak attack at all, so this place is at most a secret route for scouts to sneak around, not as a strategic place to fight." ”

Chen Le nodded, indeed, the soldiers are very fast, if you can't sneak attack the enemy's rear in a short time, then this sneak attack will not be interesting, if it is found to be blocked in the opponent's territory for encirclement and suppression, and because the retreat route is too difficult, maybe the whole army will be wiped out.

This is no better than the desert, you can run thousands of miles, withdraw in the starry night, you can run casually on the desert, and this is obviously not possible here!

Zhang Qiushui led a group of people along the only road in the town, Chen Le and Zhang Bangchang were both dressed as scholars, Zeng Xihua was still dressed in women's clothes, and the ten guards, including Zhang Shanshui, were all dressed as servants, and the appearance of the group was a businessman who had returned from a long trip to do business.

But no matter how a dozen people dress up, it is still more conspicuous, especially in such a remote town, but fortunately, people in this town rarely go out after the sun sets, so even if someone sees Chen Le and the others, they only show puzzled eyes and close the door.

Walking to the other end of the town, a simple wooden inn stands on the side of the road, and there is a hardwood sign hanging on the top of the inn, on which four words are written in ink, Green Pheasant Inn!
