Chapter 200: The Man Is Gone
Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, the mountains covered by clouds and fog are rolling and undulating, and it is an incomprehensible place.
Tiannan Wuling, another world.
The team of several hundred people only had ten carriages, except for two for people to ride, the remaining eight were used to transport supplies, and the Chu assassins always guarded around the carriage and marched on foot, entering the border of Wuling Land on the border of Han Land, and the further south they went, the more fierce natives there were, and the convoy was not foolproof.
In the four-wheeled carriage, Cao Shi stared at the clouds outside the window with a blank expression, and his long "journey" through dozens of counties, he also tried to escape many times, killing many assassins who stood in his way.
When the dagger hidden on his body was found, he twisted off the head of the guard assassin with his bare hands, and when it was convenient for half a day, he could not run away for a long time, so he escaped in the middle of the night, and tried many times but did not find the best time to escape, until the persecuted assassins tied the bell to the carriage, and the outside of the carriage was illuminated with a thick silk cloth as a block, and the carriage would jingle in the middle of the night as soon as there was movement.
"Pingyang Hou is very skilled, he killed the old man more than a dozen apprentices, if you give you enough arrows in the war bow, I am afraid that the old man will also be killed."
Cao Shi sneered: "The old man is self-aware, you are just a person who sells bids, and you may lose your head at any time." ”
"Haha, you're right! The old man doesn't have a few days to live, and he is suspicious in Huainan and Hengshan just to see the Liu family cannibalism, do you know? I left S long S style S literature and S study, and V≠≦et's apprentices left enough evidence there to make Liu An, the king of Huainan, and Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, die a hundred times, and the pursuers sent by the Son of Heaven had to deal with the two princes and kings. Do you say that the Son of Heaven still has the kung fu to save you? ”
The old man smiled happily, and Cao Shi pouted: "How do you know that you will chase the soldiers all the way?" ”
Ding Gong couldn't laugh anymore.
"Don't think that you can scare the old man with a few words, even if there are ten chasing soldiers! The convoy immediately entered the Wuling Jedi, and even if the Ten-Way Army arrived at the foot of Wuling Mountain, it would have to weigh one or two. ”
Cao Shi rolled his eyes and ignored him, he didn't expect Ding Gong to run to the foot of Wuling with people without saying a word, it stands to reason that he should go to Huainan or the land of Lianghuai to stay, it doesn't seem to have much to do with Wuling.
"It's in the mountains! Be careful! ”
The white mist rushed over, Cao Shi quickly lowered the curtain and plugged it tightly, turned his head and said, "Have you made all the things I have prepared?" ”
"You mean that?"
Liu Ling took out two cloth bags from under his buttocks, and there was a mezzanine in the cloth bag that was bamboo charcoal collected from the fire every day. The charcoal powder is crushed very finely and covered with a cloth bag. The mezzanine is rolled up and sewn with a needle and thread, and the left and right strips of silk cloth are sewn together, which is a simple mask.
Cao Shi grabbed the mask and put it on his face, tried it on the appropriate size, and it fit snugly around his mouth and nose, leaving basically no gaps. I threw another mask to Wang Meng: "Go south, remember to bring it every day and don't take it down." Make a few more stuffed with bamboo charcoal powder for later use. Whether we can survive the miasma in Lingnan depends on it. ”
Wang Meng took it and put it on without saying a word, Liu didn't believe that the bamboo charcoal powder was so magical, and he was suspicious of bringing this ugly cloth bag.
The mountain roads in Lingnan are bumpy. From entering the mountain is to take the mountain road that the indigenous villagers walked out, the altitude of Wuling is not high, but the road condition is much worse than that of Qinling, it takes at least one day and one night to cross the mountain, the white mist between the mountains of Wuling is like haze, nothing can be seen in the white vast expanse dozens of steps away, and it is normal for those who are not familiar with the road conditions to walk blindly between the mountains.
The miasma of Wuling will only disperse for a few days, and at night you can't even see the starry sky in the sky, and you can find your way by instinct, and a greater crisis lurks around everyone.
Entering the strange mountainous area full of poisonous miasma, you can see the skeletons of animals, including elephants, rhinoceros, deer, sheep, hares, poisonous birds, jackals, tigers and leopards, as well as human corpses, whose clothes are rotten and look like they were left a long time ago.
The assassins were terrified, and the bones they saw were increasing almost every day, and within a few days of entering the mountain, they saw hundreds of human bones, and those bones still left traces of insect bites, and in the panic, there was a poisonous miasma around them.
That night, more than a dozen people fell ill first, and in the makeshift camp they were in a coma with a high fever, and they were poisoned and miasma.
Ding Gong was very hesitant, he was hesitating whether to abandon the sick number, and more than a dozen people fell ill early the next morning, and the assassins in the team were panicked, they were not afraid of death, but they had to die meaningfully, dying in the white poisonous mist, corroded by poisonous insects and turned into dry bones, it was extremely terrifying.
The thirty sick men were abandoned, and each of them ran south with almost all his might, and the faster he ran, the more he breathed and the more miasma he inhaled.
One by one, they fell.
More and more people are left behind the line, falling headlong and never getting up again, like dominoes, when the first domino falls, a qiē cannot be stopped.
Herod's ......
The steed neighed, its hooves raised high, and fell headlong.
The carriage lost its degree and stopped, and four young men jumped out of the carriage, supporting each other in a panicked manner.
"Ding Gong, hurry up and save Wei Youqu, he has been poisoned by a miasma!"
"Save the fart! The old man himself can't be protected, how can he save you. Ding Gongqi's face was pale, and most of the land that he had painstakingly cultivated in the seven days of entering the mountain had died, and more than a hundred disciples were left panicked like frightened birds.
Zhao Yingqi laughed angrily: "Ding Yi! Don't forget our identity, don't want to get out of Nanling without my guidance, don't want to gain a firm foothold in South Vietnam without my help! ”
"Good! You say how to treat it, the old man is all up to your arrangement! ”
"Go and pluck the fruit from that tree, feed him more, and maybe you can save him."
Several assassins picked up stones and knocked down a few fruits, threw them into their mouths and chewed them without saying a word, and their faces changed when they entered their mouths, and they quickly spit them out.
Ding Gong picked up a green fruit and asked, "What kind of fruit is this?" ”
"Betel nut, if you don't want to die, chew it more, remember not to swallow it, otherwise don't blame me if something happens."
Zhao Yingqi stuffed the fruit into his mouth, his face became colorful, it really looked like poisoning, and the two young princes of the Su family looked at each other and chewed betel nuts, and did not forget to pick up two and stuff them into Wei Youqu's mouth.
Ding Gong said angrily: "There is a treasure medicine for treating miasma, why didn't you say it earlier!" I've lost so many disciples! ”
"You didn't ask me. Besides, why should I sue you? If it weren't for Wei Youqu's sickness, I wish you were all dead! Zhao Yingqi sneered and ignored him.
The horses in the convoy were all dead, and from a distance, there were clouds and mountains everywhere, and I didn't know where to go, anyway, it was already like this, so I simply stopped where I was.
Ding Gong has always suspected that Zhao Yingqi deliberately led him to the wrong road, it stands to reason that the five mountains should not be that big, some mountains were obviously crossed a few days ago, and they walked again today.
"Boy, you make it clear, how far is the Wuling of the feudal country, and the old man wants to take you to Panyu to see Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue. When the time comes, I will let you go. ”
"You're trying to lie to me?"
Ding Gong was furious. Immediately sneered: "The old man just caught you by the way, aren't you afraid that the Han family's heavenly soldiers will be strong and strong, and they will defeat Nanyue, Minyue and Dongou?" ”
"Impossible! We are a vassal state of the Han family. ”
"Peng Yue. Yingbu. Zang Di thinks so. Have you seen their feudal kingdoms yet? Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, kept his duty, passed on three generations of sons-in-law, died early, and was expelled by the Son of Heaven! The Emperor of the Han family is stronger than sixty years ago, and you have also seen the prosperity of Chang'an. The strict organization of hundreds of thousands of Han soldiers outside Chang'an City, what do you do to stop the Han soldiers? The miasma of Wuling? ”
Zhao Yingqi disdainfully, Nanyue is not very worried about being beaten, the reason is the miasma of Wuling, the reason that sounds very is indeed very reliable, 8o years ago, the Qin army conquered Nanyue, and after ten years of fighting, it lost more than 100,000 elites of the Qin army, and even Tu Sui, the main general of the Qin army, died here, until Ren Huan's reinforcements arrived.
In the next 12 years, the Lingnan Qin army 66 continued to die more than 100,000 people, the second general of the Qin army, Ren Huan, also died of illness in the careful recuperation of the local natives, and the third general was Zhao Yingqi's great-grandfather, Zhao Tuo, the old birthday star who is now almost 1oo years old.
This old man has experienced the whole process of the Great Qin Empire from domination of the world to its demise, and he can be called the first person in the world in terms of qualifications.
The reason why it was difficult for South Vietnam to fight was nothing more than the lack of adaptation to the soil and water, the miasma of poison and killing, the jungle guerrilla tactics of the South Vietnamese, and the poisonous needle.
It is impossible for the primitive people's tactics to kill more than 100,000 Qin troops, and it is the first two who really kill people.
The brothers of the Su family listened attentively, Minyue and Dongou are not as good as Nanyue, these two countries are on the coast and there is no miasma, as long as the Han soldiers will be finished in an instant, so the two countries have always lived in fear.
Su Chou persuaded: "Brother Zhao, I think what Ding Gong said is reasonable, we go to Chang'an not to see the means of the Han people, the Han people are more powerful than us It is deserved, but it is too much to be powerful, with our strength can not stop the Han soldiers, the miasma of Wuling is not necessarily a natural danger, we lose Dongou and Minyue, and the Han soldiers can go all the way to the southwest along the seaside to Panyu." ”
"Huh? Really? ”
The ugly look was serious: "I don't lie to you!" At the beginning, your great-grandfather Zhao Tuo wiped out the royal branch of our Su family in South Vietnam, and hundreds of years ago it was a branch of the Su family that migrated from Minyue, and our Su family all knew that there was this road, and my father also planned to directly conquer Nanyue from this road and recover South Vietnam. ”
Zhao Yingqi was stupid, he had only been a prince for a few years, and he didn't know much about the military and political affairs of South Vietnam, and his father never told him that there were several directions of defense areas in South Vietnam, he only knew that Wuling was a natural danger to resist the Han soldiers, and Minyue was an ally of South Vietnam.
"Think about it!" Ding Gong took out the wine jug, took a sip of wine, chewed betel nut, and slept with his eyes closed.
The poisonous miasma tossed for seven days and seven nights, and he barely slept a solid night, even if he was beaten with iron, he couldn't bear it, not to mention that he was an old man over seventy years old.
Everyone slept soundly, and when they woke up, another carriage was empty.
Cao Shi, Liu Ling and Wang Meng are gone!
Ding Gong jumped like thunder: "What about people? I told you to look at the good people, why did you lose it? Let Cao Shi go, wouldn't we have died so many people in vain! What are you doing in a daze, chase me! ”
The Assassins looked at the white miasma and hesitated, some of the woods were completely dead and charred black, and there were also unknown insects lying on it in groups, sometimes falling down with a crackling and falling very terrifying, and the Assassins did not dare to chase them.
"Ding Gong! Wei Youqu's disease is very serious, you must do your best to get out of Wuling to receive better treatment, the poisonous miasma in your body is by no means completely eliminated by a few mouthfuls of betel nut, stay here for a quarter of an hour more than a sign of death, follow me out of the poisonous miasma area and then find a chance to chase them is not too late, you can get out of Wuling only a few roads, just ask the nearby villages to know soon. ”
Zhao Yingqi's attitude has changed, from being forced to cooperate to taking the initiative to cooperate.
Ding Gong was overjoyed: "But how can they chase after them when they run away?" ”
"If you can't run fast on two legs, you won't be fast with Liu Ling, the princess of Huainan, not to mention that no matter how far they run, they will eventually show up next to the village, and the villages near Wuling belong to the Nanyue Kingdom, so you can rest assured." Zhao Yingqi said with an oath. (To be continued......)
