Lu Zheng went to sit on the edge of the fire and stayed on duty all night, and Hu Laohan turned over and continued to sleep.

Neither of them was abnormal, as if the matter was just an inconsequential episode.

However, both of them knew in their hearts that there were some things that they couldn't hide from each other.

The next day, when the morning sun was slightly dewed, everyone got up one after another, and after breakfast, they cleaned up a little and continued their journey.

Today I am going to enter the mountain, and the mountain road is not as good as the outside, so it is not easy to walk.

Lu Zheng directly told Hu Laohan that they were in a hurry and asked Hu Laohan to take a shortcut.

Hu Laohan glanced at Lu Zheng and nodded silently, which was acceptable.

Several secret guards didn't notice that the atmosphere between the two was different before, but Ji Miaoshan, before getting into the carriage, his eyes wandered back and forth between the two, brushing his beard and smiling.

Lu Hongwen's son is really amazing, he also thinks that most of these generals are careless, and Lu Zheng will not find out that something is wrong.

Thinking of his former friend, Ji Miaoshan slowly shook his head and sighed secretly.

After entering the mountain, the road was really difficult to walk, although Hu Laohan led the way, the speed of travel was still not fast.

They walked like this for three whole days before they went around the mountain.

After rounding the mountain, which was a smaller mountain, I walked for two more days and came to a place.

This is where even Lu Zheng, who has been in the northwest all the year round, feels unfamiliar.

This place is very desolate.

However, they are separated by a mountain, but they seem to be two completely different places.

But because of this, Lu Zheng was sure that they had found the right place.

Ji Miaoshan studied the gossip of the five elements, looked at the mountain road that gradually disappeared behind him, stroked his beard and smiled: "No wonder few people come here, it turns out that the mountain is a natural barrier, and there are all the gossip of the five elements in it, ordinary people, even the mountain can't get out, how can you find it here." ”

Saying that, Ji Miaoshan said to Hu Laohan meaningfully: "Brother Hu is talented, the mountain just now is me, maybe I won't be able to get out." ”

Hu Laohan laughed and said quietly: "What is a big talent or a big talent, Brother Ji is too exalted to me, but I am active in this area all the year round, and I know some of the surrounding vegetation better than others, so I just followed." ”

When Ji Miaoshan heard him say this, he didn't say any more, stroked his beard with a smile, and lowered the carriage curtain again.

Lu Zheng, where they are now, is a valley, through this valley, you can see the legendary extremely cold place.

Hu Laohan said that he was not sure if that place was what Lu Zheng and they were looking for, but he knew about the legendary extremely cold place in the northwest.

Lu Zheng first asked the two secret guards to explore the way, and after making sure that there was no danger, he ordered everyone to continue walking.

This valley is a real valley, just a distance that only allows a carriage to pass, very narrow, walking below can't help but give people a sense of oppression.

The crowd quickened their march, but nevertheless, they still walked for almost half an hour before turning out of this valley.

After walking out of the valley, there was a cold wind blowing in the face, which instantly made everyone shudder.

Now it is a hot summer, even though the northwest is bitterly cold, but it is not the season of snow, how can there be such a cold wind?

It should be this place, Lu Zheng said secretly, and asked everyone to put on the robes they brought over.

When everyone was dressed, they went on again.

After walking for a while, Hu Laohan shouted to stop.

"You can't go any further, there are Huns in front." Hu Laohan looked at Lu Zheng, his expression was rare and a little serious.

When Lu Zheng heard this, he waved his hand to signal everyone to stop.

"Huns?" He looked at Hu Laohan fixedly, "How does the old gentleman know that there are Huns here." ”

Hu Laohan looked at Lu Zheng, his eyes flashed, and he seemed to hesitate.

Lu Zheng did not urge, but asked a few secret guards to dismount, wrapped the horse's hooves in cotton cloth, and invited Ji Miaoshan out to let him temporarily abandon the carriage and ride with him.

Hu Laohan saw that Lu Zheng and they had no intention of stopping, so he frowned and said: "Didn't you come to find Snow Lotus, Snow Lotus is not in front, you have to go over there, I'll take you over, after reading it, go back quickly, it's really a Hun in front." ”

Lu Zheng glanced at the direction of Hu Laohan's finger, and said in a non-waved tone: "I thought that the old gentleman should know what we were here for, since the old gentleman led the way, why did he stop us at this time?" ”

After some temptation that night, Lu Zheng had already determined that Hu Laohan must have been a soldier in the past, and most of them were scouts, his vigilance was very high, and the military attributes in his bones have not been erased.

Lu Zheng didn't know whose army he belonged to, and he tried many times along the way, but now there is no result.

However, he guessed that Hu Laohan's identity was not pure, and Hu Laohan naturally saw that they were not really here to see what snow lotus.

Both sides realized that each other's identities were not pure, but Hu Laohan still brought them here, so there was only one possibility, that is, he already knew what Lu Zheng and they were here to do.

And it is more likely that he also knows about the cold iron deposits in front of him.

Otherwise, he would not have said so firmly that there were Huns ahead.

Although Lu Zheng is not familiar with this, he still knows that it is still the border of Nanzhao.

What did the Huns do on the border of Nanzhao, in such a cold and snowy place?

Could it be that you also came to see Snow Lotus?

The devil believes!

Ji Miaoshan saw that the atmosphere between Lu Zheng and Hu Laohan seemed to be a little tense, and slowly walked over.

"Brother Hu, the younger brother thinks that the Huns should be our common enemy, what do you say?"

As soon as Ji Miaoshan's words came out, Hu Laohan's face changed for a moment.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng's eyebrows furrowed, and the suspicions in his heart seemed to have been verified.

He had previously felt that although Hu Laohan had some military habits, there seemed to be some awkwardness in some places, as if he was different from him.

Before, it was just a guess, but now that he heard Ji Miaoshan's words, Lu Zheng suddenly understood.

This old man Hu is not only a person in the army, but even very likely, a general left over from the previous dynasty.

Nanzhao was founded for a short time, Lu Zheng's grandfather was the founding father, and in Lu Zheng's generation, Nanzhao was only a few decades old, and the history is really not long.

However, the ancestor emperor not only fought the world well, but also governed the world quite capable, although he did not reign for a long time, he still governed Nanzhao into a strong country.

The previous dynasty destroyed the country, but it was really because the superior was unkind, provoked disputes among the princes, and the people revolted, so the country was destroyed.

Lu Zheng remembered that his grandfather once said that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the ancestor emperor treated the generals and officials of the previous dynasty very favorably, and now there are many soldiers in the military department who served in the former dynasty.

This old man Hu looks like he has the ability, why did he fall to this?
