Chapter 22 The Barren Mountain Road

"The priest is the person who originally worshiped the Qing Dynasty, and many remnants of the Qing Dynasty believed in him. In addition, he originally knew some demon methods, and those people couldn't distinguish right from wrong at all, and they were all confused by him. ”

"I saw it with my own eyes...... He was able to summon dead people from underground. When the man was standing in front of me, my first instinct was to run away! This place is too dangerous, they are all crazy. Don't look at what I do for them now, who knows when they will go crazy, take me out and sacrifice the sword. ”

"As for that firearm, it's all things that can be used by the descendants. At that time, I thought it was a novelty, so I wanted to bang on it. Unexpectedly, when they found out, they scolded me and beat me with 30 sticks, and I didn't move for a month. These bastards, if they weren't for the large number of them, I would have slaughtered them a long time ago with my previous temper! ”

Shen Ze walked halfway and gasped: "My lord, let's rest for a while, there is still a long way to go." ”

Two right guard sergeants escorted him behind, so that Shen Ze had to leave the stone he had just sat on, and the other two sergeants followed Shen Ze one after the other.

More than half of the day has passed, and the sky is usually still bright at this time, but today it seems to be raining, and the sky is gradually becoming a little dark, not to mention that in the depths of this dense forest, it is difficult for the sun to shine in from the outside, and the road in front of me is full of dark shadows.

Shen Ze followed ten sergeants nearby, just to prevent him from escaping. This specification is luxurious, but Lu Pengyuan wants to get back the tax silver, and he doesn't want to make any other mistakes.

Lu Pengyuan glanced at the mountains and mountains in the distance, this place where the silver was put was really secret. Looking at the roads around them, most of them were roads that no one had passed, and they were full of thorns, and it took several sergeants to work together to open the way in front of them with their knives, so the speed of movement was very slow.

It's too easy to hide something in a barren mountain.

The last time Shen Ze followed the steward who sent the soldiers' salaries, he followed him all the way to the deep mountains. The power of money was great, and the thought of a large amount of silver waiting for him made him feel a fever in his heart, and the exhaustion in his body was swept away.

He followed the steward all the way to the depths of this barren mountain......

"How far is it?" Lu Pengyuan said impatiently.

"It's coming, it's coming." Shen Ze wiped the sweat from his head, but it was obvious that the few sergeants around him were not ready to let him sit on the ground.

There are still a lot of roads in front of him, Tang Yun looked at the ground for a while, and said: "It's not like there are traces of people passing by here, and the steward needs to walk when he walks." ”

Shen Ze said: "This is the way I have researched, you may not know it. Those bastards also let someone follow, walking around the mountain road. But in the rivers and lakes, these are all trivial. The road led straight into the barren mountain, and when they got there, they hid the tax money there. ”

Shen Ze said very clearly, and some hidden ravines were also told to Lu Pengyuan, which greatly reduced Lu Pengyuan's vigilance.

"You guys go ahead, I'll go and investigate."

"Brother Tang, just let the scouts in the army do this......" Lu Pengyuan shouted, but Tang Yun had already disappeared into the jungle without a trace.

"General, the ...... of that lord"

"Leave him alone, brothers, hurry up and get out of the way, let's try to get back to the Shendu before dark!" Lu Pengyuan asked the soldiers behind him to open the way in front.

When he arrived in the mountains, Lu Pengyuan mobilized another 300 elite sergeants to follow him into the barren mountains. In fact, this is also the limit of his troop transfer.

In normal times, if there was no special war, the half of the talisman in Lu Pengyuan's hand would not play a role at all. Unless there is the will of the empress, he only has the right to train, not the right to transfer troops. At this time, it would be too much time to ask the empress for her will, so Lu Pengyuan simply brought these people over.

This time, the sergeants were fully armed. In addition to sabers, each person was armed with bows and spears, and was neatly dressed in armor. At this time, if there are remnants of the Qing Dynasty again, he will definitely have no return.

Tang Yun shuttled through the jungle, and some ravines that were blocked by wild grass were easily crossed. Tang Yun seemed to be integrated into this barren mountain, and his actions were fast.

Mobei is a desert in its name, but in fact, there are mountains, snowfields, and even forests. However, most of the people in the Central Plains subconsciously think that there is a vast desert there.

When Tang Yun was in the wolf hunting guard, he was responsible for probing the situation in front of him every time he escorted him. In the army, they are called scouts, and this is a special type of troops, and not everyone can do it.

The sun was falling quickly, and in a few moments it was no longer clear what was going on in the woods. Just by a few little reflections in the darkness, you can tell where the plants are. However, Tang Yun was wearing Lin Ye Armor. This kind of armor is very light, and the knife and gun can't be prevented, but it is more than enough to prevent the hook and stab of some plants.

Tang Yun climbed onto a boulder and stomped on it a few times, although there were gravel falling, it was still solid.

Standing on the boulder, you can overlook the entire barren mountain. With the light of torches faintly flickering in the forest, Lu Pengyuan was led by Shen Ze to the depths of the mountain forest.

In the distance, there was the sound of flowing water.

Tang Yun fell down a rope, and he didn't notice anything wrong. The forest was still very quiet, but there was no human figure to be seen.

Tang Yun went down a rope and chased in the direction where Lu Pengyuan had left. It didn't take long for him to bump into the scout of the right guard.

"Your Excellency!" The scout said.

Lu Pengyuan and his party were stopped in front of a small river, and several sergeants took off their armor and were testing the depth of the river.

"It's not deep, it's just below the knee."

The sergeant waded through the river with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and walked to the opposite bank and shouted.

Lu Pengyuan stared at Shen Ze with some suspicion: "The place you said is here?" ”

Shen Ze said firmly: "Definitely here, my lord, I'm not lying!" I've been following all the way, and if I'm lying, there's no need. ”

Lu Pengyuan sneered: "You'd better not be careful, otherwise you will be broken into pieces!" ”

After speaking, Lu Pengyuan saw Tang Yun coming back and asked, "Brother Tang, what abnormalities have you found?" ”

Tang Yun shook his head: "Everything is as usual, but it's better to be careful, you can't guard against the secrets hidden by the other party." ”

Lu Pengyuan nodded: "It makes sense, where the silver is placed, there must be someone guarding them." ”

"The ...... that is unguarded," Shen Ze muttered, but was driven across the river by the sergeant behind him.

The river was biting, and through the small river, a group of people rested for a while. Shen Ze pointed in one direction: "That's it, last time the group of people went back and forth, and finally came back here." I think that's where they put their money! ”

In the distance was a hazy darkness, like a big mouth, devouring everything.

Everyone looked in the direction that Shen Ze pointed, and there was a huge cave in the distance, which suddenly appeared between the two high mountains.
