Chapter 53: Hiding Soldiers in the Mountains

The two of them moved quite quickly, so they found a flat piece of land and lit a fire before it was completely dark.

Gu Ange also sprinkled some medicinal powder on the place where the two were resting to prevent those animals in the mountains from coming and invading.

Gu Ange nibbled on the freshly roasted rabbit meat in his hand, which he hunted when he was looking for firewood from the fire, and said to the fire: "Let's take turns to keep vigil tonight, I will keep watch for the first half of the night, and you will keep watch for the second half of the night." "In the mountains, the devil knows what will happen, so it's better to be careful.

"Childe, just go and rest, I'll just keep vigil alone." Lihuo also gnawed on the rabbit, and his words were slurred, and it seemed as if he was really hungry.

"No, I'm going to be on the road tomorrow, so I'll have a good rest." Gu Ange waved his hand and refused to leave the fire.

"But..." Lihuo wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Gu Ange, "Okay, listen to me." In the past, Ben Gongzi was also a person who often stayed in the mountains, and he was not so delicate. Gu Ange was not wrong at all. As a doctor with good medical skills, this kind of thing of collecting medicine in the mountains is simply a compulsory course for her.

Having said that, however ... There was still some hesitation from the fire.

"What did the prince tell you before he came out?" Gu Ange reminded lightly.

"The prince said that everything is up to the son." Lihuo didn't even think about it, so he answered Gu Ange's question.

"That's it, okay, listen to me, go rest, I'll wake you up in the middle of the night to keep vigil." Gu Ange finished nibbling the rabbit meat in his hand, drank two more sips of water, and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.

"Yes." I couldn't help her from the fire, so I had to listen to her and rest.

After Gu Ange saw that he left the fire to rest, he sat in place and fiddled with the burning fire a little boredly.

The whole mountain is very quiet, and you can hear the sound of insects in the mountain and the crackling sound of the firewood burning in front of you.

In the second half of the night, Gu Ange hadn't even called Lihuo, he woke up by himself, and then decisively drove Gu Ange to sleep.

Gu Ange didn't say much, he found a comfortable position and fell asleep.

The next morning, Gu Ange woke up to the smell of food.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Ange looked at the stone pot in the fire, which was obviously just cut out of something, walked over and asked with some curiosity.

Lihuo smiled, "I saw two snakes nearby this morning, and my subordinates caught them and wanted to get some snake soup for Childe, Childe rest assured, my subordinates have seen it, and there is absolutely no problem with these two snakes." ”

Gu Ange's eyes lit up when she heard this, she was tired of eating either dry food or barbecue in the past few days, and now that she suddenly had snake soup to eat, she felt that she was extremely satisfied.

Gu Ange walked to the front of the stone pot, then sniffed, and praised the fire: "Not bad, yes, the young man has a future." But... You pot? ”

Lihuo heard Gu Ange's words, scratched his head, and smiled at her a little embarrassedly, "I just sharpened it with a sword." "The sword that leaves the fire was specially found by Mo Wuxian for a few of them, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is like sharpening iron like clay. Naturally sharpening a stone pot and bowl is a breeze.

Gu Ange nodded.

Lihuo took out two more stone bowls, then quickly divided the snake soup and handed a bowl to Gu Ange.

Gu Ange blew the steaming snake soup and took a big sip of satisfaction.

After the two of them had packed up, they were ready to continue on their way.

As a result, it was only after these two people went down the mountain that they sadly discovered one thing, they seemed to be lost.

When he went around and around for an hour and returned to the same place, Lihuo sighed, "Childe, don't you have a map?" Take it out and take a look? ”

Gu Ange sneered, took out the map in his arms and threw it to Lihuo, "Look, do you think this thing will be of any use?" ”

Lihuo caught the map thrown by Gu Ange and opened it, and suddenly laughed a little, "This... Ahem... "This map is probably only accessible to people who often go into the mountains like the medicine farmer.

"Understood?" Gu Ange leaned against a big tree, his expression extremely helpless.

Putting away the map from the fire, he nodded with difficulty, "Then how do we get out?" ”

Gu Ange thought for a while, and pointed to the dense woods that could barely penetrate the sun, "How are you doing light work?" Why don't we go up? ”

Lihuo thought about it, and then looked at the towering trees, "No, the light work of my subordinates is not as good as that of my son, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

"Hmm... Gu Ange was silent for a while, then swept around and saw a small tree next to him, "You cut it down." ”

Lihuo instantly understood Gu Ange's thoughts, "What does Childe mean... "Look at the tree's rings?

Gu Ange nodded, "You can sharpen stones with your sword, so it's not a problem to get this." ”

Lihuo nodded, then drew the sword he carried with him, and with a single sword, he cut down the tree that was not particularly thick.

In the end, the two of them squatted together, studied for a long time, and then unanimously decided to go north, no matter what, as long as they got out of this deep mountain, they would naturally be able to find their way back to Covered Water City.

The two walked all the way to the north, and in the evening after walking in the mountains for more than a day, Gu Ange and Lihuo chose a big tree near the water source as a place to rest tonight.

However, as soon as these two people were lying down on the tree, a group of people came below, there should be fifteen or sixteen, each carrying a pair of buckets on their shoulders, it seems that they should have come to fetch water, but how could there be so many people in this barren mountain and wilderness?

At this moment, looking at these well-trained young people, Gu Ange and Lihuo both had some doubts in their hearts.

"Childe?" Leaving the fire and rubbing to Gu Ange's side, he was a little hesitant, looking at the appearance of these people, it was obvious that they were the sergeants in the army, but... Although there are also guards in Covered Water City, they shouldn't appear in this place, even if they are training, they won't choose such a deep mountain and old forest.

Gu Ange touched his chin, looked at the people below who were busy fetching water, and asked Lihuo beside him softly, "Don't these people know that the palace is side by side?" ”

Lihuo shook his head, "These people will definitely not be the guards of Waterfall City. ”

Interesting, a group of people who don't even have news from the side by side palace, "How about we go and see?" Gu Ange proposed.

Lihuo nodded hurriedly. In fact, he also wanted to see who these people were, in case other countries infiltrated the Eastern Zhou, then the chaos would be big.

So, the two guys secretly followed behind the people as they carried the water and prepared to go back.

Lihuo looked at the team of steady, disciplined sergeants in front of him, and was quite shocked. Although these people can't be compared with those who fought on the battlefield under Mo Wuxian's hands, they are also strictly trained at first glance, such a mysterious team, who knows what will happen to the Eastern Zhou. Lihuo decided in his heart that he must find out the basic situation of this group of people, and then report to the prince.

The two men followed the group of people around and around, and finally turned into a valley, and as soon as they entered the valley, a huge military camp appeared in front of them, and everywhere there were soldiers with swords in their hands, armor and armor, and heavy guards.

"Yes, there are still so many people hidden in this deep mountain and old forest." Gu Ange hung himself on a tree and sighed towards Lihuo with a serious face on the side. Looking at that large area of military tents, there must be tens of thousands of people.

Leaving the fire was not as easy as Gu Ange, "These people... ”

Gu Ange glanced at the look that flowed from time to time in Lihuo's eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, "Go in and listen?" ”

Lihuo looked at Gu Ange struggling a little, this place is heavily guarded, if you go in, it is definitely dangerous, Gongzi's martial arts are not good, what if something goes wrong? But... It is certainly not possible to find out where these people come from.

"It's okay, be careful." Gu Ange instigated. To be honest, she wanted to know who these people were.

Lihuo couldn't stand Gu Ange's instigation, and finally nodded in agreement.

"Do you see the tent inside, are you sure to go over?" Gu Ange pointed to the largest and most conspicuous one in the group of military tents below, and said to Lihuo.

"Yes." Lihuo took a few careful looks, thought about it in his heart, and replied.

"Okay, then let's go through the gap on the left." Gu Ange quietly jumped off the tree, and followed closely behind the fire.

Maybe it's because the place is inaccessible, and the guards have relaxed a lot, and many of them just look serious, and they just let these two guys slip in.

I don't know what's going on, there wasn't even a guard outside the big tent, the two of them observed nearby for a while, and after making sure that there was no one inside, Gu Ange let Lihuo let the wind go outside and slipped in by himself.

The space of the big tent is very large, and the things inside are also neatly arranged, a bookshelf with a lot of books leans against the innermost part of the big tent, and there are tables and chairs in front of the bookshelf, and there are a lot of things on it.

Gu Ange walked over and flipped through it casually. Then, not knowing what she had found, her hand paused for a few seconds, then she picked up a few pieces of paper sandwiched between a pile of books, looked at them carefully, wrote them down, put them back in their place, and then turned around again, and when she found nothing useful, she lifted the curtain of the big tent and joined the fire.

"What's the catch?" Lihuo saw Gu Ange come out and hurriedly asked.

Gu Ange gave him a look to go out and talk.

Lihuo nodded.

So the two men went out of the barracks according to the route they had come.

As soon as he left the barracks and found a place to hide, Gu Ange sighed, "Probably we all underestimated that Third Highness." "Liuzhou is Zhou Qifei's uncle's territory, everything happens in Liuzhou in this place needs this nod, if Taishou doesn't agree, then whatever you want to do here is in vain.

Lihuo's heart moved, "What does Childe mean... ”

"Just know it in your heart, let's go back for a long time first, and the medicinal effect of this Nine Dragon Grass will not be so good, wait until you go back and tell the prince about it, and see how he handles it." Gu Ange raised his hand to stop Lihuo's next words.

Lihuo touched the jade box on his back, and also felt that it was still important for the prince, "Yes, son." ”

So these two people went around the mountains for more than two days before returning to the city of overwater.

As soon as she returned to Covered Water City, Gu Ange explained to Hua Feiyu that she was paying attention to the news of the Taishou Mansion, and then rushed back to the capital non-stop.
