He could be sure that the person in front of him was definitely the first time he had seen him, but the other party's eyes looking at him were clearly full of unnaturalness and even a little frightened.

"I don't know about this, don't take it to heart, he's like this, God is chattering, no one can figure out what he thinks."

Mo Xuanyin also discovered that this was abnormal, with Shen Mengxian's character, it was difficult to put such a hairy boy in his eyes. But the look on his face just now clearly betrayed him. Mo Xuanyin couldn't help but look at Xu Ruyang in front of him, guessing what kind of origin he would be.

Gu Xiqian led him to him, and just explained that this was her newly recognized brother-in-law. The others didn't say much, Mo Xuanyin also thought it was good when he saw this young man, so he didn't ask too much. Now it seems that Gu Xiqian's reason for recognizing him may not be so simple.

"Well, this person doesn't look like a good person, maybe he did something wrong!"

Xu Ruyang was skeptical and compromised for the time being. Anyway, Shen Mengxian's first impression on him was not good, and his intuition told him not to like this person.

Mo Xuanyin nodded, but didn't say anything more. He was more curious about what kind of thing was worth Shen Mengxian's trouble, and even went to the palace alone to find Gu Xiqian......

"No, it's a waste of time. We can't wait any longer, so let's go down and let me report to me if we think we are good at water! ”

On the other side, Gu Xiqian thought about it for a long time, but she didn't come up with anything. Seeing that time passed little by little, they were still trapped here. Gu Xiqian lost the last patience and was ready to take action. She knew very well that the soldiers in Yunnan had always fought on flat ground, and few of them knew how to use water. Therefore, it is necessary to go through a round of screening to ensure that they can follow them through the river in front of them.

"Queen, these are selected according to your requirements. The subordinates took the liberty of asking, what is the purpose of picking them out? In this way, the number of people is greatly reduced! ”

The subordinates quickly brought people to Gu Xiqian as instructed, and compared with the number of people brought over, they were eliminated a lot at once. Gu Xiqian looked at some of the people in front of her, her expression was serious, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"You've all decided that you're pretty good at water? Then I'll be blunt, and then I ask you to cross the river with me as you just did Orion. In that case, do you still think that you are good at water? ”

Gu Xiqian did not answer his subordinates' words directly, but opened her mouth to ask about these people in front of her. Since she focused on people who knew how to be watery, it was natural to let them cross the river. Gu Xiqian was not worried about how watery these people would be under normal circumstances, but doubted whether they would be able to overcome the pressure in their hearts and follow them over.

In such an environment, everyone knows what to expect after entering the water. Ordinary people feel that their bodies can't stand it just by thinking about it, and as for whether these people can overcome it, it still depends on themselves.

"This ...... Just go into the water, and in that case, people will freeze! ”

"Who's to say it's not, just standing here now, I already feel cold. I'm sure I won't be able to get up when I'm in the water! ”

Sure enough, after Gu Xiqian's words fell, there was a trace of restlessness among the people in front of him. They couldn't help but turn their heads to each other, and their tones were full of hesitation.

"I really don't know what you're trying to do, didn't that person go down just now, and came back intact. Why, are we worse than others? ”

Some people are scared, but naturally there are people who are not. Some of the bold ones saw the entanglement and hesitation on the faces of most people, and their eyes were full of disdain!

"That's it, I've been a soldier for so many years, and I haven't been so cowardly when I saw the enemy on the battlefield, but now it's good that I'm scared like this by a river."

"Back to the queen mother, I'm not afraid, let me go with you!"

The discussion gradually subsided, and before Gu Xiqian could ask, some of these elected people shouted out, saying that he had no problem and was still willing to follow Gu Xiqian across the river.

"Yes, I'm not afraid, I swear to follow the queen to the death!"

"And my ......"

Then several other people shouted along, and the scene became more lively. Gu Xiqian looked at the scene in front of her, the worries just now were swept away, and her body and mind became very comfortable. It seems that sometimes there is still some hope, at least they didn't let him be wiped out.

"Well, those of you who are willing to stand up alone with me and come here, the others will return to their previous positions!"

Gu Xiqian nodded with satisfaction, and let these soldiers who were not afraid of the cold stand up alone. In this way, the number of people is even smaller, at most only a dozen people. However, Gu Xiqian was already very satisfied with this number, and she knew that this operation was very difficult. Even if no one dared to join her, she had nothing to say.

After all, Gu Xiqian didn't want to use the order to join them, because this incident was not a matter of war between the two countries, and it was somewhat selfish. If Mo Xuanyin hadn't proposed to send troops from Yunnan, Gu Xiqian would probably have brought his own private soldiers over.

"Give you a little more time to think about it, and we'll leave right away. It's too late to regret it now. I know that the road ahead is dangerous, and you should be afraid, so I will give you another chance to choose. After that, even if you want to regret it, it's impossible! ”

Gu Xiqian stared at them for a while, then spoke again. She had to test the mentality of these people again and again to make sure they would stick to it. Until the last minute, no one can say what will happen. If they can't hold on halfway, Gu Xiqian can't leave them alone!

"Queen Mother, you don't need to say any more, we have already decided, and we will never regret it. That person was able to go through it smoothly just now, why should we be weaker than him! ”

Gu Xiqian's voice fell, and the surroundings were even quieter, as if a needle had dropped. Everyone was waiting for the answer in the next second, and they didn't even dare to let out a loud breath.

"Alright then, get ready, we'll cross the river now. I don't think I need to say anything about it, I'll ...... first."

Gu Xiqian finally took a reassuring pill and took these people to prepare to cross the river, in order to set an example for them, Gu Xiqian took the lead and quickly took off the clothes outside to protect against the cold. Considering his identity and the difference between men and women, Gu Xiqian still didn't wear only a middle coat like Orion, and added an extra layer outside.

The people behind him watched Gu Xiqian's movements, and they also began to take off their outer clothes, and followed Gu Xiqian to the river slowly, because of Orion's previous demonstration, they had a goal in mind, but they would not be at a loss.

"It's finally here, hurry, let's find a place to take off the wet clothes inside and change them into dry clothes, and then gather here later!"

As soon as she got out of the water, Gu Xiqian felt the biting cold, but she had come to this point, so she could only grit her teeth and persevere. Thinking that all this was for Mo Xuanyin, Gu Xiqian instantly strengthened her willpower. Holding his breath, he swam across the river.

Finally arrived on the other side of the river, Gu Xiqian went ashore as fast as possible, and then let out a fierce breath. She really couldn't understand how Orion had managed to be so calm just now, she had experienced it like she was going to die. I'm still getting cold air all over my body.

Looking back at the soldiers coming up one after another, it was not good to look at them one by one. Gu Xiqian hurriedly urged them to change the wet clothes inside, and then come over to gather after changing. Even she couldn't hold on anymore and couldn't wait to take off that layer of wet clothes that stuck to her body!

"It looks like it's all changed, so let's go. The front is full of snow-capped mountains, and I don't need to say more about the situation, so be mentally prepared and try to overcome it! ”

When she changed her clothes and came over again, Gu Xiqian looked at the people in front of her and found that their state was almost adjusted, and she could be regarded as putting her heart in her stomach. After making the final explanation, Gu Xiqian took the only dozen people and continued to go deep into the snowy mountain.

"If you hold on a little longer, it should be not far from the border of Mingshan soon!"

This journey was too difficult, and everyone walked in the white expanse with one foot deep and one foot shallow. There is no way to even distinguish between day and night, unless you are extremely tired before you stop to rest and eat something to replenish your strength.

As one of them, Gu Xiqian can deeply understand the difficulties of the soldiers, but apart from letting them rest for a while and cheering them up more, Gu Xiqian doesn't seem to be able to do anything. The soldiers didn't respond to Gu Xiqian, they just kept burying their heads and moving forward, at this time, it was a waste of physical strength to say a word more.

"Look, the end of the snow-capped mountain has arrived, we have arrived at Mingshan!"

Suddenly, Gu Xiqian shouted excitedly, her tone swept away the previous weakness, and the whole person seemed to be injected with fresh blood, rejuvenated.

The soldiers' attention was attracted to the past, and they looked at the place where Gu Xiqian said. Sure enough, not far ahead, there was no snow anymore, and it became flat ground. Wangmei quenched her thirst and was still very effective, and the soldiers instantly riveted their strength and marched towards that flat land.

"Shhh This is already the border of Mingshan, and I don't know if there will be soldiers from Lanling Country patrolling. Don't make a noise here, I'll go to the front and wait for my news here! ”

Finally arrived at the flat ground, and the soldiers were almost tired and spread there. Gu Xiqian is also tired to the extreme. But the more at this time, the more she couldn't relax, let the soldiers wait here, and she had to go to the front alone to find out the news!
