Chapter 401: Look at the route
The carriage was still speeding up, and the light spots were streaked all the way on the roof of the car, the sun was still warm, but Rong Qing's heart was filled with an irrepressible chill.
In such a small and dense place, they still carried so many goods, and so many people accompanied them, in case there were more people on the other side, then even if they fled, it seemed that they would have nowhere to escape.
"Husband, what should I do?" Rong whispered softly: "There are so many people, it can't be because we also ask them to be buried together." ”
Lu Chengyan held Rong Qing's hand and said, "No." As he spoke, he opened the window again, leaned back slightly, and looked out of the window.
It's winter, not summer, and it's not a lush giant tree that can be sheltered everywhere. Now this place is all bare, and the two or three green shoots that have been drawn out cannot be counted at all, and if they want to do anything like this, they will immediately be exposed to their sight.
At that time, each of them can shoot a large part of the pocket arrow, so this is definitely not the best place. What's more, it's not that far from Kyoto, and if you do it here, it will definitely attract attention.
"If they wanted to fake it as bandits, they wouldn't do it here, so the one should have been monitoring our whereabouts just now." Lu Chengyan said, opened the carriage compartment, pulled out a pair of scrolls, and slowly unfolded them.
Rong lightly knew that this was a map specially sent by Governor Yin, and it was lent to them, and they would have to return it when they came back from Song'an County, which showed the preciousness of this map in ancient times.
"We are now in this position, the next place to pass through is Pingzhou County, here must not be able to do it, if you cross Pingzhou County, about five or six days ago, you will arrive at Shuhe County, there are many villages there, the villages are very close to each other, and you will go further after here...... Phoenix Mountain. Lu Chengyan's hand paused, pointed to the place, and frowned tightly.
Phoenix Mountain is a mountain range that resembles the tail feathers of a phoenix, but other than that, there is nothing else that can indicate the splendor of this place, only a small introduction next to the map: no plants survive.
Lu Chengyan took out another booklet from the mezzanine of the carriage, and after turning several pages, he finally turned to Phoenix Mountain.
"Look, it's so weird. After coming out of Tangjia Village, you can get here in about a day's walk. The entrance here is not large, but the space inside is very large, there are no plants to survive, there is gravel everywhere, if you encounter a windy day, beware of large rocks falling down. After walking through this empty place, there is another narrow exit, and after passing through this exit, it will take two or three days to get to the place. ”
Rong patted his forehead lightly, only to feel a headache.
Even if they were thinking with their toes now, they knew where the place prepared by the gang was, although it was not easy to hide, but the place was large, and when the time came to kill them from the mountain, they still had no way to avoid it. Even after dealing with them in that place, the scene where they were robbed and made into a tragedy caused by bandits was perfect.
"How long are we going to walk in this mountain?" Rong asked softly.
"If you speed up the road, it will take about half a day, and according to the plan, we must have to rest overnight in Tangjia Village, and if you go early the next morning, you can walk through Phoenix Mountain in the afternoon, and after you get out of Phoenix Mountain, it is a plain land without any shelter, where you can stay directly in the carriage, and then continue to hurry...... "It can be said that after Phoenix Mountain, there is nothing to worry about behind, on the official road, cars come and go, it is the only way for many cars and horses, and no one will be stupid enough to do it there."
Rong looked at the map lightly, stared at the place where Lu Chengyan's fingers paused, and said, "So we can almost be sure that the place where they will do it will be this Phoenix Mountain?" ”
Lu Chengyan twisted his brows and said, "Eighty or nine." ”
Rong pursed his lips slightly, it was confirmed.
"So along the way, I guess there will still be people who keep an eye on us, keep an eye on our speed, see when we are about to get there, and then go to ventilate and report." Rong said softly.
Lu Chengyan took a deep breath, that's pretty much it, so now......
"Do you want to find a way to catch that spy?" Lu Chengyan frowned.
Rong Qing shook his head firmly at this time, although he was afraid, and said: "No, we can't startle the snake, once this person who is watching is dead, the other side will immediately know that we have noticed it." So it is possible that they will act in advance, and when the time comes, we will be defenseless and will only be a dead end. ”
Lu Chengyan knew that what Rong said was right, but being watched by a person all the way, according to his violent temper, he couldn't help it, and at the moment he gritted his teeth hatefully and said: "If you have the ability, come here, and use them to give Yao Yan a new design of the weapon." ”
"Keep an eye on them, but we're careful not to show our feet, slow down, and don't tire everyone too much." Rong said softly.
At first, they wanted to go to Song'an County as soon as possible, so they decided to rush on the road, but now they knew that someone was waiting to ambush them in Phoenix Mountain, so naturally the slower the better, and the more rested the better.
"This matter must not be hidden, the big guy must have a bottom in his heart, in case he is afraid of revealing the stuffing, try not to come out of the carriage or talk less, anyway, he can't let the people who monitor see the flaws." Lu Chengyan frowned and said, looking out through the open window, they were about to walk out of this dense forest.
Rong thought for a long time, and then said softly: "Just tell Yao Yan and Feiying about this matter, what are the other people usually like, or what are they like." ”
Otherwise, knowing that there was danger ahead, someone set up an ambush in Phoenix Mountain, and they were still rushing all the way there, and everyone's mood would be more or less affected, and it would not be good to be nervous at that time.
"Listen to you." Lu Chengyan rolled up the book and put it away and put it back in the compartment again.
When Rong gently reached out to close the window, he looked out again, and the toothy and clawed branches quickly retreated, and soon moved away from her sight, and suddenly the grass on the ground had begun to emerge.
Rong gently closed the window and completely isolated the cold air, then raised his eyes to look at Lu Chengyan, revealing a firm look.
"Husband, we must have a way to get through."
Lu Chengyan held Rong Qing's hand, and when that small hand was held in his hand, his whole heart couldn't help but be quiet.
"Before leaving, Governor Yin secretly stuffed two artillery pieces for us, saying that they were made by the military department and put them on the last carriage." Lu Chengyan looked at Rong and raised his eyebrows lightly and smiled.
