It may be that the soldiers of Dali have stayed in Pingnan for too short a time, or it may be that the scouts of Dali have not yet adapted to life in Dali, but Han Ju is very clear in his heart, because this is Pingnan, although it does not belong to the South Prison, but there is already the environment and climate of the South Prison.

Liu Ao glanced at Han Ju and had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask too much, he didn't know why Han Ju had such a judgment, but he also felt that these scouts in front of him were too unprofessional!

A scout, if you only have guts, it is definitely not enough, because you only have one life, if you only have guts, this scout will be a day, and it will be the end, because you can not die yourself, but others can't do without it, unless the main general with the army is a madman and will choose an outlaw.

The reason why Hanju said this is also because of this reason, because the road here in Pingnan, Xiaoshu Road is not very difficult to walk, and the first section of the road is not all bitter, but when you go to this section of Linhai, it is already a little dangerous, for no other reason, in Pingnan, Nanjiao, Linhai The crisis in Linhai is the most worrying, because in this Linhai, not only poisonous insects, but also boundless miasma, and more importantly, you can't be sure that what you are under your feet is the road.

"Driving ......"

Dali's marching scouts are still moving forward, they don't seem to know the crisis in the forest sea, but they are just groping in the forest sea where there is no road.

The water was murmuring, the stream was running through every stone, quiet and peaceful, Han Ju watched Dali's scout team continue to move forward, he and Liu Ao were also slowly following, but his brows were furrowed tighter, he didn't understand why these people came, but now he can only choose to continue to investigate.

Hanju's guess soon came true, and the scouts of Dali determined the route, believing that this gurgling through the stream was the best way to seek, and more than 100 soldiers turned the horse's head and followed the stream up. The weeds and mud accumulation along the way are all roads that no one has ever walked, and its ups and downs can be imagined. From time to time, people and horses fell into the mud, and all the soldiers worked together to rescue, and the exclamations came one after another, resounding through the vast primeval forest of Sanshi Peak.

The primeval forest was foggy, and it was along the stream, and everyone was wet and uncomfortable. At the end of the first day, more than a dozen horses were lost due to sinking into the mud, and dozens of soldiers were bitten by snakes, insects, rats and ants. On the second day, more than half of the Dali army was wounded.

In fact, Han Ju and they are the same, in the face of these poisonous insects, Han Ju has no way to avoid it, he and the soldiers under his command are also a little unbearable by the bite of this poisonous insect, up and down the body, almost no skin is not involved by poisonous insects, but this cannot stop Han Ju's footsteps, because he also saw that even in the face of such difficulties, the Dali scouts in front did not choose to retreat, which made Han Ju conclude that in these three stone peaks, there must be something extremely important.

"Something isn't quite right here, we're going to be a little slower, we can't be in a hurry!"

Looking at the endless forest sea, silent as death, the Dali scouts also felt a trace of inexplicable panic, these encounters on the Xiaoshu Road had already alerted them, and they also restrained their carelessness and conceit, and began to cautiously explore the way.

They are not as useless as Han Ju said, it is because they don't have much time, when they left, Mu Qingchen gave a death order, be sure to explore the road of Qinglong Gorge within three days, so he can only march in a hurry, completely abandoning his own safety, now is the time for Liu Fa and Mu Qingchen to grab time, if Mu Qingchen can be one step faster than Liu Fa, or say that he can explore the road conditions of Qinglong Gorge one step earlier, Pingnan will not conquer himself.

On the contrary, if you can't find out the road to Qinglong Gorge, Mu Qingchen has been outside Pingnan for too long, and he will not move for a long time, it will inevitably make Liu Fa suspicious, in this case, there is only one result, that is, the Dali soldiers must confront the Liu Fa army head-on, but break the city head-on, don't say that Mu Qingchen, who is the son of Dali, is not that sure, because the person who guards the city is Liu Fa!

"It's weird, it's weird!"

The Dali scout who was the leader wiped the sweat from his forehead, a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes, and his eyes looked around anxiously. They seem to have reached the end of their journey, in front of them in the dense forest of ancient trees, rotten leaves and pine needles fell to the ground, piled up a thick layer, in this cold autumn, it looks particularly beautiful, but in the eyes of the scouts of Dali, there seems to be some death in this beauty.

The sun fell, and there was only a small halo left on the horizon, and at this moment, it was supposed to be the time for the tired bird to return to the woodland, but there was a deathly silence in the woods, and there was no sound of sound except for his own breathing.

It is indeed too quiet, such a large forest, you can't hear the birds and insects, you can't see the weeds and wild flowers, and the faint sunset is shining, and the trees are shining with a strange light of pale yellow.

"You, go over and have a look!"

The snort of the war horse woke the scout from his contemplation, and he looked at the dead leaves in the ground, and then pointed to one of the guards beside him.

The guard's face twitched, and his eyes were full of unwillingness, but he did not disobey the order, just nodded, and walked towards the dead leaf layer step by step.

"Hey, what a rabble!"

Not far away, Han Ju crouched in a patch of grass, and although his face was bruised and purple, he couldn't help but laugh.

Liu Ao crouched aside, his face was also large and small, full of bubbles left by the bite of poisonous insects, he glanced at the scout in front of him, and didn't find anything wrong, so he touched the corners of his mouth, and then lowered his voice and said: "General, this front, isn't it...... At risk? ”

Han Ju turned his head and looked at Liu Ao, who was also blistered and was about to swell into a fat man, and then grinned again: "Danger, hehe, just look at it!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the wailing and screams of a war horse sounded, and Liu Ao's eyes immediately widened.

Under the dead leaves, where is the road, it is clearly a dead quagmire, I don't know how deep, the scout who explored the way has just walked a few steps, and before he can react, he sank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ah......h

He struggled in horror, but his legs were already in the mire, and the scout at the head saw that he was not good, and immediately shouted: "Quick, get him up, rope!" ”

As he spoke, he threw the rope from his waist and threw it at the scout, who was terrified and kept struggling, but the more he struggled, the faster he sank.

"Help me...... Help me......"

The scout kept shouting, his eyes were full of horror, seeing the rope rolling towards him, he yelled, trying to grab the rope, but the scout was too far away from him, and the rope was not so long, and what made him desperate the most was that the rope was only a foot away from him!

"Miles and Miles......"

The mud was about to drown over the scout's crotch, and the horse neighed and struggled uneasily, and before I knew it, it was sinking faster and faster.

"Help me...... Help me! ”

The scout was still struggling with a roar, but the mud had reached his shoulders and was about to be completely submerged.

"Quick, pull him up!"

Seeing that his rope was not long enough, the scout was also in a hurry, he roared, and then jumped off the horse first, at this moment, these Dali scouts finally came to their senses, their eyes became blood-red, and they kept running towards the scout.

"It's over, it's over, it's over......"

Han Ju shook his head from afar, a trace of sympathy flashed in his eyes, and Liu Ao's heart on the side was as cold as snow, seeing a fresh life disappear in front of his eyes, Liu Ao was really a little difficult to accept.

"Help me...... Save...... Cough...... Save ......"

Those Dali's scouts finally didn't rush over, because they really had no choice, at this moment, the mud had already flooded the scout's mouth and nose, he struggled, just said a word of help, has been poured into a mouthful of mud, and then he couldn't speak, in his eyes, there was no hope left, only despair, because he was sure that no one could save him!

"Po ......"

A bubble floated up, and the scout was completely overwhelmed in the mud, unable to say a word, and sank in the mud along with his horse.

The scout at the head was silent, his eyes were full of gloom, this was the first brother to die, and this part of the road in front of him was really too dangerous.

"Come on, cut down the tree, clear the way for me!"

After a long time, he finally whispered, looking at the scouts under his command who were still a little stunned, and then shouted angrily: "Don't go yet?" ”

Hearing his words, the soldiers under his command woke up from a great dream, and immediately began to cut down the trees, and after a long time, they finally cut down enough trees, and used the big trees to be cut down, one by one on the road in front of them, some sank in the mud, and some pressed out a road, and by pressing out the road, they barely passed here.

Because they always have to go to Qinglong Gorge, no matter what, they still have to pass through here, which is the only way to go to Qinglong Gorge.

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade. This sentence is not bad at all, watching Dali's scouts walk over through the road paved by this big tree, they also began to follow behind the Dali scouts, because of the experience of Dali scouts, although this road has been walked, but Han Ju still walked very carefully, careful, he did not forget to keep an eye on the enemy in front, he did not forget, what he came to do.

"Driving ......"

In the mountains, there is no shortage of people coming and going, especially in this eventful season!

Qing Yunfei took his soldiers to investigate around Pingnan, bored, although he came to Pingnan for the first time, but he was not a curious person, he was just loyal to his duties, in order to follow Liu Fan's orders, came to the border of Pingnan.

After all, it is the southwest, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, the road is difficult and dangerous, Rao is he was originally a barbarian in the mountains, and he walked very slowly, because the mountain road in Pingnan is really difficult to walk, and it is late autumn, the mountain road that no one has walked for a long time is wet and slippery, if you are not careful, you will fall into danger, after all, this is the southwest!

"Hey, where are we?"

Seeing that the sky was slowly darkening, Qing Yunfei was also a little tired, he blinked, looked at the sky, and suddenly frowned, he pointed to the towering snow-capped mountain, and then looked at the soldiers beside him, and asked in a deep voice.

"General, this ...... This is the Three Rocks Peak and our location is in ...... Over here! ”

A soldier picked up a map, and then pointed to the location of Qing Yunfei, there was a strange thing in his eyes, it had been a whole day today, and he didn't see Qing Yunfei say anything, but he asked the location of this place at this moment.

"What is this...... Place? ”

Qing Yunfei looked at the map, and then grabbed it, he looked at the mountains and rivers drawn on the map, and then pointed to a corner of the map, his brows tightened.

"This is Qinglong Gorge!"

"Qinglong Gorge!"

Qing Yunfei closed the map, then touched his chin, and said in a deep voice: "Let the brothers speed up, I want to rush to Qinglong Gorge before dark!" ”

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses, feeling bitter in his heart, and then went down to make arrangements.

At this moment, Qing Yunfei unfolded the map again, looked at the location of Qinglong Gorge, and couldn't help frowning, as if he had heard of this name somewhere, as if there was a sense of familiarity.

He didn't know that not far from him, a scout party of 100 people was hurrying towards him.

The loss of a brother, the atmosphere in the Dali scout camp suddenly became dull, this swamp is the only way to the southwest, must go, they cautiously and slowly probed forward, walked five or six miles, before passing out of the forest, stepping on the heavy black soil, this is a little more comfortable, but every time I think of the desperate cry of the robe, their hearts are extremely complicated, watching the brothers who were born and died together die in front of themselves, this feeling, is really a little unbearable, but the road always has to go, There's no turning back.

It was already five o'clock the next day, and the sky was still dark, and the plan to camp had already been ruined. The scout led by him simply did not stop, neatly arranged the team, and advanced dozens of miles in one breath, this time, he was also out of the way, seeing that Qinglong Gorge was getting closer and closer, he was anxious and bored.

"Lord, look—"

The cry in his ears woke up the scout who was still in deep thought. When he looked up, he saw that the clouds and mist under his feet were faint and bottomless, and it was actually a cliff that was cut off.

Thirty zhang on the opposite side, a towering mountain peak, straight into the sky, dangerous sky. The small stream on the top of the hill rushes here, there is no way to go, and it falls vertically, forming a beautiful waterfall that goes straight for nine days, and the sound of the rushing water hits the rocks, which is extremely crisp.

Wall!

The scout's eyes widened, and cold sweat flowed down, and the cold wind blew, and his heart was cold, and then he sank again. It took so much time and energy, and sacrificed a good brother, thinking about crossing the Three Stone Peaks and reaching Qinglong Gorge, but I didn't expect that this road, coming here, had been broken, and a cliff would bury all hope.

"W-how is this possible?"

He clenched the reins in his hand, his eyes were red, he didn't know if he had taken the wrong road, or Qinglong Gorge, there was no way to go at all?

"Lord, look!"

Just when he was extremely cold, another exclamation sounded, and he shook his head impatiently, "What to see, what to see, no road, no road, what to see?" ”

"When ......"

The scout who spoke saw that the Commander was a little absent-minded, and immediately pointed to the Commander: "Look, Commander, here, there is an iron rope!" ”

"Iron Cable!"

Hearing this, the scout immediately raised his head, his eyes seemed to light up a lot, he turned his head, faced the direction pointed by the scout, and then looked over, the autumn morning, shrouded in mist, could not see anything clearly, he strode over, but really saw something across the valley, at this moment, he couldn't help but say, and immediately walked over.

"Lord Commander be careful......"

Just as he was about to reach the iron cable, an exclamation sounded, and a man grabbed the commander violently, and the commander was stunned, and glanced at his feet, only to see that one of his feet had stepped on the edge of the cliff.

He hurriedly gathered his feet and came back, and immediately a stone fell down, I don't know how deep this canyon is, but he didn't even hear this echo, he only heard the big river under his feet, the waves crashing on the shore, the sound was huge.

"Hmm......"

The scout at the head of the scout froze, and then stretched out his hand to the iron cable, when he touched the iron rope really existed, he was relieved, he really touched it, the piercing chill, made him feel extremely sober, it turned out, it was really a steel cable.

"Brethren, let's go and see!"

He struck the iron rope with his fist, it was very strong, although I don't know when it was erected, but now it seems that it is extremely strong, he tried it with his knife again, only to hear the sound of the iron cable, and other than that, on the iron cable, there were only some white marks that were absent.

"Hey, here's ......"

Han Ju saw very clearly in the back, he didn't sleep all night, just followed behind these Dali scouts, and when he followed here, he really gasped, he could already guess some clues in his heart, but he was not sure, he had a gloomy face, and glanced at the iron rope in the void.

"Qinglong Gorge!"

Liu Ao said three words lightly on the side, but his heart was as heavy as Han Ju, he and Han Ju had the same thoughts, he didn't dare to be sure, just silently lay there, waiting for these Dali scouts to make the next move.

"Let's go, don't be afraid, this time, I'll go first!"

The Dali scouts stood in front of the iron cable, all of them were silent, and there was some hesitation in their eyes, but at this moment, the scout who was the leader spoke, he smiled slightly, he actually wanted to take the lead and explore the way for the soldiers under his command!
