As soon as he heard the two old hunters talk about the situation in the mountains, Li Yao became energetic and asked, "Two old hunters, tell me how you met the tiger at that time?" ”

"That was decades ago, when the world was in turmoil, we couldn't eat enough every day, and the game outside the mountains was all over, and we were really hungry, so we thought about trying our luck in the mountains." The old hunter said with a little nostalgia: "We were lucky at that time! As soon as I entered the mountains, I caught a lot of game, including pheasants and hares! ”

Just as we were ready to go home with a full load! When we turned around, we ran into the big white worm, we were frightened, and we didn't care about the game, and we ran away, but we ran away from the big white tiger, and we were about to be caught up, and we remembered the words of the old generation, the big white worm can't go up the tree! So we climbed up the tree in three steps and two steps, stayed in the tree for a day before coming down, and then came alive.

Looking at the two old hunters' palpitations, Li Yao smiled: "It's just that we don't have to be afraid this time, my ten guards are all very good, not to mention a tiger, even if we come to his nest, we don't need to be afraid!" ”

The two old hunters looked at Li Yao's guards, each agile and agile, so they were relieved, but their faces were more or less timid!

Li Yao asked, "Do you know what it's like inside the mountain?" ”

One of the old hunters answered: "What else can there be in the mountains, go more than ten miles inside, that is the mountain range, and over the mountain range is the country of Qi!" ”

Li Yao was overjoyed when he heard this: "Old man, do you know how to cross the mountains?" ”

Old Orion pouted, "Over the mountains?" That's impossible, even people who beg for a living in the mountains all year round can't turn over, you look to the north, the peaks there are rushing to the sky, if you want to go to Qi country, you can only take a detour, and if you go around this mountain range, you can go out! ”

Li Yao said secretly: "If I can get around, why should I bother with this!" ”

"Then let's go inside, since we're here, it's good to hunt more prey! Even if we encounter a big white worm, we just peel its skin and give it to you, and you can sell it in the market, but it is worth a lot of money! Li Yao said casually.

The two old hunters hurriedly waved their hands and said, "This can't be done, this can't be done." If you kill the tiger, then you have done a great thing for our hunters, how can we still ask for its skin, besides, you have given enough money! We can't covet more! ”

Although the words are said so, but the two old hunters obviously have no timidity, it is estimated that they are not afraid of the tiger now, if they can find the tiger, with so many people, there is no problem in taking down a tiger, so that they can make a fortune!

Seeing that the two old hunters were not timid, Li Yao was relieved, Li Yao was afraid that these two old hunters would pick on them halfway, obviously they would be able to reach the bottom of this mountain range soon, Li Yao didn't want to give up halfway because of the old hunter's timidity. And by promising a little verbal check to the two old hunters, you can solve the problem of the timidity of the old hunters!

Old Orion led the way and said to Li Yao: "My lord, don't you know, although we are only ten or twenty miles away from the mountain range, but we have to walk over, and we can't walk at all in a day or two!" We're taking a detour right now, you have horses, and there are a lot of trails that you can't walk through! ”

Li Yao asked, "Then if we take the path, can we save some time?" ”

The old hunter shook his head, "My lord, this is not necessarily, sometimes, the path takes more time, because the road is too difficult to walk, some of the trails, the width is the same as the two soles of the feet, if you are a little careless, step on the air, or fall, then your life will be gone!" ”

This road can't work, Li Yao must at least make a road that is at least allowed for four people!

It's just that now the old Orion takes Li Yao to walk, although it is not big, but he can walk with a horse! With a little road repair, it is still possible to transport troops on a large scale!

The main problem now is that it is necessary to open up the mountain range from Qi Province to Yi Country, and if it really can't be done, you can only use gunpowder to blow up a cave.

Li Yao didn't know how long he could hold the three northern counties if he captured it, if there was no problem, at least there would be no problem at all for three months, but for a longer time, Li Yao didn't dare to guarantee that although there was an uprising in the south of Yiguo, he could slow down the footsteps of the Yiguo officials and troops a little, but who knows how long it could be delayed? The army of the peasants and bandits in the south of Yiguo has no military system, no backup, and will not operate! Li Yao felt that sooner or later those bandits would be eliminated, and if they were eliminated, the spearhead would be Li Yao.

Although it can be guarded by the mountain, but there is a quantity of gunpowder in the firearms troops, and Li Yao of the cold weapons troops can be the bandits, and Li Yao does not dare to overwhelm the bandits. And the firearms troops, once there is no gunpowder as support, it is no different from a group of lambs to be slaughtered, if you can take the arsenal of the three county seats, you can equip some cold weapons, but looking at the knives held by the local city guards are rusty, Li Yao really has no hope for the weapons in these arsenals!

It seems that he has to step up his pace and hurry to the bottom of the mountain range to see the situation, Li Yao said: "Old Orion, let's speed up our pace today, can we get to the foot of the mountain range at night?" ”

The old hunter looked at the sky and said, "It's a bit mysterious, but there are a lot of us, and we can light torches at night and hurry, there are too many torches, and the fierce beasts nearby don't dare to come out!" ”

Li Yao nodded: "Then let's hurry up and strive to get to the foot of the mountain range as soon as possible." ”

At this time, Wang Dazhuang suddenly said: "Master Hou, there is movement over there!" ”

Li Yao was taken aback and asked, "What's the movement?" ”

Wang Dazhuang took out his hunting knife and whispered: "I don't know, it should be a fierce beast, I'll take a look!" ”

Li Yao pointed to the two guards and said, "You two follow Wang Dazhuang to have a look, pay attention to safety!" ”

Others are on guard!

The guards pulled out their swords one after another, the swords of the guards are not thin, the width is thicker than the Tang knife, although it is still the appearance of a sword, but if it is really fought, it can be used as a knife!

Li Yao watched Wang Dazhuang and the two guards walk over cautiously.

Wang Dazhuang pushed aside the grass and found nothing, so he and the two guards retreated!

Seeing that nothing happened, Li Yao said: "Then let's continue to hurry, everyone strengthens vigilance, there are already fierce beasts in these places, everyone concentrates, don't be alone!" ”

Li Yao and his entourage were in a hurry, Wang Dazhuang also broke away from the team from time to time, and went to the side to check the surrounding situation, Li Yao also had a bad premonition, but he couldn't say it, he always felt that he was being targeted by something, but a dozen people in a group had weapons, and they had all seen blood, so Li Yao still put his mind at ease, even if there was really a litter of tigers, there was no need to be too afraid, if he really couldn't do it, he could still go up the tree, and there were more than a dozen grenades, if there were tigers guarding under the tree, Li Yao didn't mind letting these tiger butts bloom!
