Starting from the cottage of the Mandarin Duck Thieves, Yao Ruoyu and others galloped all the way, anyway, in this grassland, Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuanrong couldn't argue the direction, and they were all led by Lao An, the second leader of the Mandarin Duck Thieves.

On the way, Yao Ruoyu was bored, and he also chatted with Yu Jieyi about mandarin ducks and thieves.

Among them, Lao An is considered to be two generations of old ministers, when the previous gang leader was there, he was the second leader, and later the previous gang leader died in battle, he did not fight, let Yu Jieyi succeed him, and helped her stabilize the hearts of the people.

Sitting on horseback, Yao Ruoyu looked back at someone in the cavalry team from time to time playing stirrups to hide, or the two exchanged horses in the air, in short, it was very noisy, and there was no discipline at all.

Seeing his gaze, Xu Xuanrong sneered: "What, compare them to your night dragoon?"

Yao Ruoyu smiled and said, "Yes, the royal sister can also be regarded as a person who has led the cavalry, and after she goes back, she can build a cavalry army for her." ”

"What nepotism!" sighed, Xu Xuanrong smiled, "Sichuan is mountainous, and we don't have the secret technique of the Black Lotus Sect that can ignore the terrain, what's the use of too many cavalry?

Touching his nose, Yao Ruoyu smiled: "If you don't build it, you won't build it, don't be angry!"

Seeing his lazy appearance, Xu Xuanrong was also helpless, and sighed: "I have such a good relationship with the royal sister, and I don't mean to make things difficult for her, she may be able to lead the horse thieves to plunder, but like Brother Jie, they march and charge with nine thousand people, and most of them will lose or win." ”

Yao Ruoyu smiled bitterly and did not continue to speak.

The people galloped for several hours, and when the horses were tired, they stopped to rest by a river.

The thieves in the north are rampant, there are hundreds of them in their group, which is not small, and the thieves and robbers see that they are just passing by, and after weighing them, they don't have the heart to trouble them, so they let them drive by.

Three days later, the group arrived at the border of northern Xinjiang, and further on, it was the range of Ningxia.

Ningxia was originally the former site of the Western Xia Kingdom, the main road of the Silk Road, and was known as the south of the Yangtze River, which can be described as a beautiful scenery.

It is a pity that during the period of the Chinese Beacon Fire that year, the Western Xia destroyed the country, and the various clans scattered and fled, some were hunted down and wiped out, some surrendered to the Jin State, and some lived in seclusion, such as the Li family of Taoyuan, the Li family of the Qiang nationality, etc.

After entering Ningxia, everyone was also a lot more careful, Yao Ruoyu took the lead in the front, with his current strength, his spiritual sense can cover a thousand feet, so all the way through, everyone has avoided the scouts of several tribes one after another, which can be regarded as a thrill.

It was only after the seventh day that the number of scouts of each tribe suddenly more than doubled, and they all seemed to be searching for something, so that the speed of the march was significantly reduced, and several times they were almost discovered.

"It should be that Jin Guo knows that you are in Northern Xinjiang and thinks that you will go south from here back to Sichuan, so he started to investigate. ”

Riding a horse and galloping for several days in a row, Xu Xuanrong's face was also a lot haggard, after all, she was not Yang Renjie's military generals who carried swords and straddled horses, although she was a spirit master of the Five Realms, her body bones were still weaker, her face was pale in fox fur, and her expression was not as poisonous and mean as before, and she was a little more delicate and soft like Sister Lin.

Yao Ruoyu saw it in his eyes, and he secretly cherished it in his heart, but he also knew the measure, and he didn't dare to care too much, and when he saw her say at this moment, he quickly nodded and said, "Why don't you find a place to hide first?"

Shaking his head, Xu Xuanrong said softly: "You can't hide, this is the territory of the Jin people, they know where to hide, it's better to go over directly, if you hide, most of them will become a turtle in the urn." ”

As he was talking, Yao Ruoyu's face suddenly turned pale, and he looked up at the front, Lao An quickly raised his hand when he saw this, ordered everyone to stop, and asked with his fists: "Lord Wang, is there anyone ahead?"

Squinting his eyes, Yao Ruoyu said in a deep voice: "Well, there is a team of scouts, hundreds of people, divided into ...... Ten teams blocked the road in front of them and couldn't hide. ”

"That's just a hard way to break in. Yu Jieyi clenched her fists and frowned.

"Don't worry," Xu Xuanrong suddenly looked at Yao Ruoyu and asked, "I remember that you used the spirit method to control Ke Dayi back then, can you find a way to control the heads of these tribes before those scouts come over?"

Stunned for a moment, Yao Ruoyu finally remembered that Ke Dayi was the Jialing River water bandit who was controlled by himself back then.

To be honest, the rise of Wenbang has been fought on land so far, and Ke Dayi, the commander of the naval army, has never been in battle, so later, Yao Ruoyu almost forgot about the command of the Military Aircraft Department and a naval army led by Ke Dayi.

"How is he now?" Yao Ruoyu asked casually, seeing Xu Xuanrong frowning, he quickly laughed twice, and then rose with his sword and flew forward.

As soon as the tea time came, everyone saw him return with his sword, and just fell back on his horse, he had already said: "There are three tribes in front, the leaders are all controlled by me, they have already taken the scouts back, hurry up, too long, it will attract people's attention." ”

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly galloped, and on the way afterward, Yao Ruoyu also concocted the same method, avoiding it if he could, and if he couldn't avoid it, he took control of the tribal head and created a gap for everyone to pass by.

Ten days later, everyone finally passed through Ningxia and entered the Longdong region of Gansu.

During this time, he kept looking at the map, Yao Ruoyu had already memorized the map, and knew that if he continued to go south, as long as he passed through Longdong, Pingliang, Tianshui, and Longnan, he could reach Dazhou, which was Wenbang's territory.

However, these days have been in a hurry, and Rao is Yao Ruoyu and Yu Jieyi are also tired, so everyone found a cave in the nearby mountains, rested for a night, and set off again the next morning.

Compared with Ningxia, Gansu's blockade is significantly stronger.

Along the way, not only the horses of the tribes, but also the garrisons of the cities were also involved in the blockade and search.

Finally bypassed several teams of horses, Yao Ruoyu and they finally bumped into a team of Huachi's cavalry, fortunately, the other party did not have the Five Realms to sit in, Yao Ruoyu and Yu Jieyi took the lead, and killed the cavalry in a moment.

It's just that the destruction of this cavalry undoubtedly exposed the whereabouts of Yao Ruoyu and others.

In the next three days, everyone encountered seven cavalry teams one after another, two of which were still in the Five Realms, but in the end they were solved by everyone one by one.

As the Jin people discovered their tracks, the number of scouts along the way also increased several times. Even if Yao Ruoyu's spiritual sense could envelop a thousand feet, he couldn't dodge it all.

Fortunately, with Yao Ruoyu, Yu Jieyi, and Xu Xuanrong in charge of the Five Realms, everyone finally left Longdong without danger and entered the Pingliang realm.

It is estimated that Jin Guo thought that they were still in Longdong, and the blockade of Pingliang was far less than that of Longdong, so everyone was careful along the way, constantly detouring, and finally successfully entered the territory of Tianshui four days later without anyone finding out.

The topography of Tianshui belongs to the east-west direction, and the distance between north and south is short, according to Xu Xuanrong's estimate, as long as he can successfully avoid detection, he can pass through here in two days at most.

It's just that Yao Ruoyu was a little surprised that since entering the territory of Tianshui, there was no team of scouting horses, as if Tianshui City didn't know the news that Yao Ruoyu and they were going to pass through.

This strange situation made everyone more vigilant, and even the young horse thieves did not dare to be as relaxed as before, holding their knives one by one, for fear of suddenly jumping out of the enemy.

However, along the way, there was indeed no cavalry to intercept it, and with this nervous mood, everyone galloped for two days, and came to the border south of Tianshui without any danger.

The border between Tianshui and Longnan is extremely vast, but there are only two places that can be used by people, and the Jin State will definitely send heavy troops to garrison these two valley passes, Yao Ruoyu and they discussed it, and finally chose the main road to the east to break through.

Seeing that the valley mouth was imminent, everyone's mood that had just relaxed became tense again, Rao is Yao Ruoyu, Yu Jieyi and Xu Xuanrong, their faces also lost their original blandness, Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuanrong's spiritual sense was even more developed to the extreme, carefully searching the surroundings, so as not to fall into the encirclement of the enemy.

However, all the way through, until he came to the mouth of the valley, he didn't meet a team of ambush soldiers, and Yao Ruoyu's spiritual sense swept into the valley, and found that there were only more than fifty foot soldiers, but one of them was Wujing, or his acquaintance, or rather, Yang Renjie's acquaintance, Feng Kewen, who had helped to meet the attack several times when Wen Bang invaded the river.

Yao Ruoyu has never fought with Feng Kewen, but from the mouths of Cai Xudong and Yang Renjie, it can be known that this person has good marksmanship and a mature heart.

Just when he was wondering, Gu Nei also discovered their arrival, and the more than fifty foot soldiers suddenly panicked, but Feng Kewen was not in a hurry, walked out of the valley empty-handed, and went straight to them.

Yao Ruoyu groaned, waved his hand to signal Yu Jieyi and the others to relax, and then stepped forward.

When there were still ten zhang away from Yao Ruoyu, Feng Kewen had already stopped, looked at Yao Ruoyu with complicated eyes, and only hugged his fist and saluted after a while: "I haven't seen you for a few months, King Wen's demeanor is still the same, and he dares to cross my Dajin country with more than 100 light horses, and his courage is admirable." ”

Pi Xiaorou pulled the corners of his mouth without smiling, Yao Ruoyu chuckled: "Brother Feng is polite, what is your situation?"

Smiling, Feng Kewen said indifferently: "The prince should know that there are only two passages between Tianshui and Longnan, and two days ago, someone in the west found the traces of the prince and his party, so the garrisons of Longnan and Tianshui went there to intercept them." ”

Yao Ruoyu was stunned when he heard this, his thoughts flew around, and he suddenly said in surprise: "You did it?"

"It's Feng," Feng Kewen nodded, and said indifferently, "When I was in Chengdu, I owed your army Yang Renjie a life, even if I pay it back today, the foot soldiers in the valley are my Tianshui City garrison, and they are all unruly thorns, if the prince is willing, he can kill him, and it is convenient for me to be in charge of Tianshui." ”

"Are you the Lord of Tianshui City?" Yao Ruoyu said with a foolish smile.

Feng Kewen said indifferently: "I returned from Chengdu and was appointed by the emperor." ”

Feng Kewen said frankly that it was to repay his kindness, obviously he didn't mean to make friends with Qing, Yao Ruoyu was not polite, and after killing all the foot soldiers in the valley, he beckoned Yu Jieyi and others, planning to cross the valley.

However, before they left, Feng Kewen suddenly said a word, and suddenly Yao Ruoyu's face was ugly, he glanced back at him, raised his horsewhip, and rode away.
