Chapter 24: The Dark Canyon

Although the post official's words were very vague, Zhang Yi still heard the meaning of the post officer's words, his meaning was very simple, and Zhang Yi understood the danger after a little thought. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After the post official told Zhang Yi all the news he knew, Zhang Yi also handed over the gold in his hand to him as promised, and the two of them could be regarded as taking what they needed.

After understanding the general situation, Zhang Yi didn't bother to study it, the most important thing for him at the moment was to sleep, because he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, as for the thieves in Wangwu Mountain, Zhang Yi didn't have the heart to think about it for the time being, and besides, it was tomorrow's business, and tomorrow's matter would naturally be handed over to tomorrow to solve.

Lying on the couch, Zhang Yi closed his eyes, and after a while, even breathing came from his mouth.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Zhang Yi set off with his team, and the team led by Huang Zhong had already passed through Pingyin County one step earlier.

The journey was quite stable, but after walking for more than an hour, Zhang Yi and the others suddenly stopped.

Riding on a horse, looking at the canyon in front of him, Zhang Yi's eyelids jumped, and after sending someone to investigate, Zhang Yi knew the condition of the canyon.

Calling Gao Shun closer, Zhang Yi pointed to his eyelids and said, "General Gao, do you see that the eyelids of my two eyes are jumping?" ”

After carefully looking at Zhang Yi's eyes, Gao Shun nodded and said, he was jumping.

"People say, the left eyelid jumps disaster, the right eyelid jumps wealth, what does it mean for me to jump these two eyelids together? Could it be a blessing or a curse? Or is it a blessing and a curse? After rubbing his eyes, Zhang Yi raised his hand and pointed to the canyon in front of him and said, "General Gao, judging from your experience, is this place an excellent place for ambushes?" ”

Zhang Yi also led soldiers to fight in the game in his last life, so the experience of marching is also there, the sentinel who was just sent to investigate reported that the canyon in front of him is east-west, and the valley mouth is relatively spacious, which can accommodate five people walking side by side, but the person who inquired said that the narrowest place inside only allows three people to pass side by side, and there are cliffs up to 100 meters on both sides, which makes it dark and difficult to see the light in the canyon, although it is not a line of sky, but it is also quite dangerous, if someone wants to ambush themselves, this place is undoubtedly an excellent ambush location.

"Lord Hui," he said to Zhang Yi with a fist at him, and Gao Shun said: "This place is indeed an excellent place for ambushes, but haven't Huang Zhong and them already passed?" If there is an ambush, presumably with Huang Zhong's ability, he shouldn't even be able to send someone to report the news, right? ”

Although Gao Shun in history is powerful, his experience in marching and fighting is accumulated little by little, and Gao Shun in front of him is just able to train soldiers, and he has hardly really fought a war, so his experience is actually not more than Zhang Yi.

"Yes," nodded noncommittally, and Zhang Yi said expressionlessly, "This is where I hesitated." ”

After speaking, Zhang Yi closed his eyes and secretly used his divination skills.

Suddenly opened his eyes, Zhang Yi aimed his gaze at the halfway of the canyon, and vaguely Zhang Yi saw that there seemed to be a platform halfway up the canyon, but Zhang Yi was too far away from there to see very clearly.

Frowning, Zhang Yi said to Gao Shun beside him: "General Gao, you send a few people to look around to find out if there is a way up the mountain, or if there are no people in this area who know about this canyon." ”

"No."

After arching his hand at Zhang Yi, Gao Shun ordered a few people and ordered them to search around as Zhang Yi said, and after a while, a few soldiers brought back a middle-aged man about forty years old, who was wearing a coarse cloth dress and carrying a basket behind him, looking like a medicine collector.

"My lord," the soldier who ran ahead shouted, "My lord, we have found a medicine collector." ”

After hearing Bing Yong's shout, Zhang Yi immediately turned over and dismounted, Gao Shun saw Zhang Yi get off the horse, and hurriedly dismounted, Zhang Yi took Gao Shun and hurried towards the medicine picker.

Seeing that Zhang Yi was approaching, the soldier next to the medicine picker pushed the medicine picker and scolded: "Don't you kneel when you see Lord Taishou?" ”

"Huh?" After being stunned for a moment, the medicine picker hurriedly bowed down and said, "Grass people Wu Laosan, knock to see the adult." ”

"Don't be rude!" After reprimanding the soldier, Zhang Yi had a smile on his face, and while helping Wu Laosan up, he asked in a soft tone: "Uncle is the medicine picker in this mountain?" ”

"Yes," Wu Laosan nodded, and said humbly: "My family has been collecting medicine in this mountain for generations. ”

That Wu Laosan looked honest, and when he saw Zhang Yi, he licked his lips nervously, and it didn't look like he was lying.

"Oh," nodded, Zhang Yi asked casually, "Uncle, is there fragrant lingweed in this mountain?" ”

"Yes," nodded, Wu Laosan pointed to a place on the mountain and said, "Xiangling grass, there are the most in that area." ”

Following Wu Laosan's hand to look up, Zhang Yi nodded, then turned his head to Gao Shun and said, "It's okay now, with Xiangling grass, your abdominal pain can be relieved." ”

"Abdominal pain?" In the blink of an eye, Gao Shun looked at Zhang Yi inexplicably, and said in his heart, when did he say that he had abdominal pain?

Gao Shun was still too kind, he didn't hear that Zhang Yi was testing Wu Laosan, thinking that Zhang Yi was really talking about his abdominal pain.

Zhang Yi doesn't know medical skills, but he knows the herb Xiangling grass, which is still in his memory when he was a child, once he had unbearable heat in his abdomen, and Chang Bo gave him this herb to relieve it.

After listening to Zhang Yi's words, Wu Laosan waved his hand again and again and said: "Adults are wrong, you can't eat fragrant lingcao for abdominal pain, fragrant lingcao is cold, if the abdomen is hot and dry, you can still use it, if you have abdominal pain, eating it will only make it worse, and you have to eat bad stomach." ”

Wu Laosan's words made Zhang Yi affirm that he was indeed a medicine picker, not a thief's spy.

After determining Wu Laosan's identity, Zhang Yi asked Wu Laosan if there was a platform on the cliff in the canyon, then Wu Laosan nodded and said yes, in the south of the canyon, there is a narrow platform about ten zhang away from the bottom of the valley, about one zhang wide and more than 20 zhang long.

After learning that there was indeed a platform on the cliff, Zhang Yi asked again if there was a road to the platform in the east where they were located, Wu Laosan nodded again and said that there was, and it was not far ahead, but the mountain road was a little steep and rugged.

"Great," Reaching out and taking out ten taels of gold from his arms, Zhang Yi stuffed it into Wu Laosan's hand, and then said to him: "Uncle, these ten taels of gold are for you, bother you to show us the way." ”

Looking at the gold in his hand, Wu Laosan panicked, because he had never seen so much money, and honestly he hurriedly returned it to Zhang Yi, and then waved his hand again and again and said that the gold given by Zhang Yi was too valuable, and he couldn't ask for it.

"Uncle, you just take it," stuffed the gold into Wu Laosan's hand again, Zhang Yi smiled and said: "This is what the uncle deserves, and when the uncle takes us to that platform, I still have a lot of thanks." ”

Holding the gold given by Zhang Yi in his hand, Wu Laosan knelt on the ground excitedly, kowtowing and thanking Zhang Yi.

After helping Wu Laosan, Zhang Yi ordered Gao Shun to order fifty shrewd and neat soldiers, bring swords, shields, bows and arrows, and follow him up the mountain, but after gathering all the men and horses, Gao Shun stopped him.
