157 Cedar Forest

Along the imprint, Chu Haoyu and his entourage walked slowly among the ravines and ridges. If it weren't for these marks, it is estimated that they would have lost their way, but even so, after more than ten days, their faces were gray and their hair was messy, and they didn't look embarrassed.

Slowly climbing a mountain that is not very big, and suddenly saw that the people in front of him actually stopped, Chu Haoyu thought that someone had an accident again, but he didn't want to be a loud shout at this moment, and said, "Boss, look, woods." ”

This was Monk Lu's voice, and there was even more joy in it, and hearing Monk Lu's shout, everyone sped up and ran towards the top of the mountain, even Chu Haoyu was no exception.

Standing on the top of the hill, the verdant forest in the distance is like a green carpet spread on the ground, and the heavy snow cannot hide its brilliance. Suddenly, everyone laughed, and there was heartfelt joy on their faces.

"Finally came out." Looking at the dark cyan under the mountain, Chu Haoyu sighed secretly in his heart. In the past ten days, I have been traveling in the mountains, and there is heavy snow and strong winds, cliffs and cliffs, and I can only eat dry food and drink some snow water. Although Chu Haoyu's martial arts are good, he has never suffered such hardships, and he really feels a little tired after the past ten days.

Seeing the excited expressions on everyone's faces, the young general of the silver armor said: "It should be a cedar forest in front, and further down is Chishui Lake, which is the destination of our trip." ”

Zhao Tietou also calmed down, looked at the silver armor and asked, "Brother Xiao Li, there are Tartars on the edge of Chishui Lake, I don't know ...... my brother's trip."

In the voice of elongation, all the sergeants focused on the silver-armored young general, wanting to hear how he answered.

The silver armor junior understood Zhao Tietou's voice, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Since the brothers all want to know, then I will say it directly." Of course, we crossed the Chiyan Mountain and entered Mobei to fight, and the Tartars on the edge of the Chishui Lake below are our first target, as for the rest, the younger brother really doesn't know. ”

Seeing that everyone showed a contemplative look, the silver-armored young general continued: "Everyone, we are the first batch of Yue Cavalry Captains to come, and as for the marks on the mountain, the junior brother doesn't know who made them. However, I think Brother Zhao and Brother Li must have orders on the two of you, if the two of you need help, even if you say it bluntly, the brother will definitely not refuse. ”

After a moment of silence, Li Dazhuang smiled honestly and said: "They are all their own brothers, since Brother Xiao Li said so, there is no need for us to hide it, and there is nothing to hide." The reason why the battalion commander and the sentry commander asked the two of us to go first was that we wanted us to find a suitable place to wait for the army. ”

At this moment, Zhao Tietou also spoke: "The battalion commander did order this, and the two of us were strictly ordered not to alarm the Tartars of Chishui Lake before the army arrived. Speaking of this, Zhao Tietou stared straight at the silver-armored junior general and asked, "It's just, I don't know what Brother Xiao Li has planned?" ”

This time, Zhao Tietou made his words clear, but looking at the two of them, the silver-armored young general had a wry smile in his heart. The purpose of this trip, he did not know at all, but he could not explain it to anyone.

After pondering for a moment, the silver-armored young general spoke: "I obey the orders of the two of you, and you can rest assured of this." It's just that the brother also has the general's order, and he will inform the two of them when the time comes. ”

Hearing what the silver-armored junior said, Li Dazhuang and Zhao Tietou did not speak again although they were not satisfied. After a moment of silence, Zhao Tietou spoke: "Since this is the case, let's go down the mountain first to find a suitable place and wait for the arrival of the army." ”

The silver-armored young general smiled and said, "The two elder brothers are the elite of the scout battalion, and I will definitely obey the orders of the two elder brothers." ”

Li Dazhuang nodded and said with a smile: "They are all their own brothers, there is nothing to tell or not to order, but this side of the mountain is already Mobei, and we can meet Tartars at any time, so we have to be careful." ”

Nodding, Zhao Tietou also echoed: "Mobei is barren, and there may be people living in this mountain, so the big guys are all cheering up, and once they encounter a Tartar, they will be killed." ”

In Zhao Tietou's shouting, everyone who was ecstatic just now quieted down, but the thin monkey Mao Yanqing smiled and said in a low voice: "After holding back in the mountains for more than ten days, I can't wait to meet a Tartar activity now!" ”

Suddenly, the smile on Li Dazhuang's face had already dispersed, and he glared at the thin monkey Mao Yanqing angrily and said, "Thin monkey, what are you muttering?" ”

Looking at the angry look on Li Dazhuang's face, the thin monkey Mao Yanqing obediently closed his mouth, but there was still a smile and excitement in his eyes.

The verdant forest seemed to be close at hand, but everyone walked for a day and night. The next day, after sunset, the group reached the edge of the forest. After carefully probing the surroundings to make sure that there was no one, everyone relaxed their vigilance and prepared to set up camp.

Suddenly, the thin monkey Mao Yanqing rolled his eyes, walked to Li Dazhuang's side and whispered: "Boss, I see that this forest is very barren and there is no one at all, why don't I go and hunt some prey and let the fire head cook a pot of soup for everyone to drink?" After a pause, the thin monkey Mao Yanqing continued: "In the past ten days, the big guy has either dried meat or snow water, and his lips are frozen and cracked, so let's drink some hot soup tonight to warm up your body!" ”

Although the thin monkey Mao Yanqing's voice was small, the big guy heard it clearly, and one by one he focused on his own captain.

glared at the thin monkey Mao Yanqing angrily, and Li Dazhuang shouted fiercely: "Just your greed." It's been more than ten days, and I don't care about this night, I'll wait until tomorrow dawn to investigate carefully. ”

Hearing that Li Dazhuang blocked himself in one bite, the thin monkey Mao Yanqing could only pouted and said: "If you don't drink it, you won't drink it, and I don't care about this night anyway." As he spoke, the thin monkey took out a piece of beef from his backpack that was about the size of a stone and gnawed it, and deliberately made a rattling sound.

The crisp voice echoed quietly in the silent night, and the big guys were a little apprehensive. In the past ten days, everyone has been eating this kind of cold, dry and hard beef jerky, so that now the big guys want to vomit when they see beef.

Li Dazhuang, Zhao Tietou, and the silver-armored junior all looked at everyone's expressions, and they were stunned one by one, not to mention that they had eaten enough beef gnocchi.

Seeing the expressions of the three of them, the dog-headed military advisor Zhang Mingwei opened his mouth and said: "Three, otherwise, let's dig a pit and make a dark fire, and cook some soup for the big guy to change the taste?" I think everyone can't eat this beef. ”

"What's a little, I can't eat it at all, give, you come and gnaw?" At the same time, the thin monkey stuffed the beef into Zhang Mingwei's hand and muttered, "It's been so long, and you're still muttering in your mouth?" ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and Li Dazhuang opened his mouth and asked, "Old Zhao, Brother Xiao Li, what do you see?" ”

Putting his eyes on the silver-armored general, Zhao Tietou opened his mouth and said: "Brother Xiao Li, if we don't make a fire, we are all old scouts, we can make a dark fire, and no one will find out." ”

At this moment, not to mention that both teams of people are looking at the silver-armored young general, even Chu Haoyu's gaze is also a little moved. Chu Haoyu has been loved by the first emperor and the queen mother since he was a child, and he has always been clothed and fed, how could he have suffered such suffering. In the past ten days, Chu Haoyu felt sorry when he saw the beef, let alone eat, if it weren't for the strong martial arts and profound internal strength, his body would have collapsed long ago.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the silver armor junior said: "Since the two elder brothers have said so, how can the younger brother have an opinion." And, to be honest, I'm really tired of it. Big Tiger, Little Tiger, you two don't hurry up and go hunting. ”

"Okay!" In the midst of the shouting, the big tiger and the little tiger hurriedly ran out, for fear that they would regret it again.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, the silver-armored young general couldn't help but smile, but shouted out of his mouth: "Be careful for me, if you encounter an accident, get back to me immediately." ”

"Got it." With shouts, the two had disappeared into the forest.

Seeing the two of them disappear, Li Dazhuang said, "Okay, let's make a fire and make soup tonight." Firehead, you find a secluded place, remember, there must be no fire. ”

With a smile, Huotou Zhao nodded and said, "Boss, you can rest assured, you will never let anyone find out." In the shouting, Huotou Zhao put down his backpack, picked up the shovel and walked out.

At this moment, Yang Guang also smiled and said, "Boss, I'll go and follow Brother Zhao." Brother Zhao, wait for me. In the shouting, Yang Guangyi ran to the side of Huotou Zhao.

When several people disappeared into the dense forest, Li Dazhuang opened his mouth and said: "Thin monkey, monk, Zhang Qing, you guys go and check again, and notify everyone immediately if there is any abnormality." The others will rest first, and we will be on a day's journey, and when the soup is ready, we will also enjoy it. ”

Suddenly, everyone had a smile on their faces, and they looked for a place to rest one by one, only the thin monkey Mao Yanqing muttered dissatisfiedly, but he still followed Monk Lu and Zhang Qing into the dense forest.

Soon there were footsteps, but when they saw the person coming, everyone was obviously a little disappointed, because the person who came was not the big tiger and little tiger they expected, but Yang Guang.

Ignoring everyone's reactions, Yang Guang's face was full of excitement and shouted: "The fire has already been lit, how about it, you can't see the fire, right?" Haha, the water is boiling. In the midst of laughter, Yang Guang asked again: "By the way, why hasn't the big tiger and the little tiger come back yet?" ”

The silver-armored young general laughed and praised: "It's worthy of an old scout, and I really can't see a little fire." Big Tiger and Little Tiger are also very neat on weekdays, what's going on today, come back later to see how I clean them up. After a pause at this, the young general in silver armor continued: "Since the water is boiling, why don't you drink some hot water to moisten your throat first?" ”

"Yes!" Li Dazhuang slapped his thigh and shouted: "We have been in the mountains for more than ten days, and we have been eating cold snow and ice all day long, so now it is better to drink some hot water to warm up our bodies." ”

Hearing the two of them say this, everyone was also excited, after all, they hadn't been able to eat hot food for more than ten days, and they urged Yang Guang to lead the way one by one.

Glancing at Chu Haoyu, Li Dazhuang opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Song, why are you still sitting?" Let's go, go over and have a sip of hot water. ”

After a moment of silence, Chu Haoyu finally stood up, and when he picked up a bowl of hot water, a wry smile appeared on Chu Haoyu's cold face, he grew so big, I don't know how many delicacies he has eaten, but today, a bowl of hot water is so rare and precious, hehe...... In the self-deprecating laughter, Chu Haoyu poured down the hot water in one gulp.

It was hot, and it was a little stingy, but there was a look of satisfaction on everyone's faces, as if they had drunk the fairy elixir and jade liquid. Even, some people drank too violently and coughed, causing a burst of laughter.

In the midst of laughter, Chu Haoyu suddenly saw the simple old man frowning slightly, as if he had noticed something. Seeing this, Chu Haoyu immediately let go of his divine sense and carefully felt the changes around him, and soon, Chu Haoyu heard a rush of footsteps, and the number of people should be four. I went out five just now, and now I come back four, is there an accident? Thinking so in his heart, Chu Haoyu's eyes couldn't help but shoot two cold lights.

Or the momentum of the simple old man affected everyone, and everyone stopped laughing, and the atmosphere suddenly became dull.
