Chapter 66, Green Mountains and Green Waters, V
When driving away the wild wolves just now, Xu Zi'an suddenly realized that their choice along the way seemed to be wrong.
In order not to be chased by the desert warriors, they chose remote and difficult mountain roads all the way, in order to be able to rely on the jungle road to block the pace of the other party, more time to breathe, this practice is indeed very effective, relying on those traps and tricks, they did bring a lot of trouble to the other party, but they forgot a very important thing.
This is the Great Departure Realm, over the green hills, is the Great Departure of Kyoto, here, the desert warriors are actually more afraid of being discovered than them, and they are also more afraid of the crowded place.
"But wouldn't it be more dangerous for us to discover more of us, and the people who assassinated me this time were not only the warriors of the Desert Clan, but also the traitors within the dynasty."
After a few days of escaping from the jungle, Duoduo mentioned the word traitor again, and it was no longer as angry and depressed as it was at the beginning.
The clues she found on the snow region are about the underworld, and the seventy-three stones in the world are the incarnation of the Hades, sealing the breath of the Hades, so these four forbidden places are very likely to be the springboard for the Hades to invade this world.
For unknown things, human beings will have a strong curiosity, but there will also be natural fear, curiosity will make human beings continue to explore the possibilities of those unknown things, but with continuous exploration and perception, people will be more afraid, because human beings find that in these unknowns, there is an existence that they cannot bear.
The four prohibitions are opened, and the dark night is coming.
Many people don't want to see the tomb mountain appear in the world, so they need the flowers to disappear in the world.
If Duoduo dies, the clues about the tomb mountain will disappear forever in the vast night sky, which will also set back the time when the four prohibitions were opened.
Xu Zi'an didn't think about it so much, and said with Duoduo's words
"Of course, if we walk in a crowded place, it will attract a lot of people's attention, but just now you also said that according to the normal route, it will take about seven or eight days to cross the Nandaoling, and we will travel in a hurry all the way, which will only be faster than the time it takes to drive normally, and so far, we have been walking for two days, although we have gone around many mountain roads, but if nothing else, we should be in this position at this time"
Xu Zi'an picked up the coke that Duoduo had just thrown away, drew a general mountain pattern on the ground, and pointed to a certain direction between the figures with the tip of the charcoal, affirming.
Discerning the direction and judging the mountain topography are the most basic skills that a hunter needs to have.
"Your return to Beijing is of great significance, the person who can know and leak your whereabouts must be a big person in the dynasty who is qualified to participate, I believe that the news of your assassination has been transmitted back to the palace at this time, and the government will definitely send a large number of soldiers into Qingshan to look for you, if you really have an accident between the cliffs, it will be fine, but now you are still alive, in this case, as long as they are not so mad that they lose their minds, do you think they still dare to do it?" Xu Zi'an analyzed.
Duoduo frowned and thought about the relationship, and looked up at the night sky that still didn't have any starlight.
"That's not it, after all, the dark night of the dynasty is under the supervision of the Qingye Division, if they can't succeed the first time, under the supervision of the Qingye Division, they won't dare to do it a second time."
Hearing the name Qingye Division again, Xu Zi'an seemed to see an old man from Qingye Division in the pavilion in a trance, as well as a fat man.
"Therefore, what we have to do at this time is not to make the desolate clan unable to catch up with us, but to find the soldiers who will meet us before the other party catches us."
"The best way is to go to a crowded place so that people can easily see where we are"
Duoduo nodded in agreement with Xu Zi'an's thoughts, and stood up with stubbornness, ready to continue on his way.
Xu Zi'an glanced at the tiredness in the girl's eyes, shook his head, motioned for the girl to sit down first, estimated the time that the trap behind him could bring to them, his heart was slightly wide, and he went into the forest to find some hay to make a pu bed, and pressed it a few times.
"The desolate clan won't catch up for a while, let's sleep for a while, and we'll set off after dawn."
Duoduo knew that this was not the time to be picky and humble, so she fell asleep in the grass bunk after a while.
Xu Zi'an looked at the girl's sleeping appearance in the firelight, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and her eyes were full of spoiling.
The hair strand on the top of the girl's head has been untied at this time, like a blooming snow lotus, a very beautiful black ocean is fainted on the grass, the pair of extremely long eyelashes flutter from time to time in the black ocean, it looks like a boat in the ocean with the waves, more like a flower swaying in the wind when it blooms, and there are still some unwiped oil on the corner of the mouth, which makes the girl look more delicate.
Only if you trust yourself very much can you sleep so peacefully.
Xu Zi'an thought happily.
Because the clothes on his body had long been ragged into strips of cloth, so naturally he couldn't put the girl on his body, so he dyed the fire more vigorously to resist the frost and coolness in the forest, leaning on an old tree, Xu Zi'an really couldn't hold the sleepiness that came like the tide of the sea, and he fell asleep groggy.
The past few days of running and fighting have already left his body in a state of extreme exhaustion, and at this time he has figured out the route to go tomorrow, and the desolate clan behind him will not chase after him for a while, so he allows himself to rest for a while.
In the ink painting where the night is like water and more like ink, the boy and girl sleep around the fire, and the gentle light of the bonfire adds a lot of warmth to the silent mountain forest.
In a drowsy state, Xu Zi'an saw many scenes again, an old man sitting near the abyss, a swordsman standing proudly, a lonely swordsman dancing wildly, a falling leaf of shame, a lady looking from afar on the railing, a scholar, and a small river.
In the end, all the scenes turned into a small white flower that bloomed in the night.
...............
"My lord, the woods ahead have been searched, and there is still no trace of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
A soldier dressed in armor saluted his hand, looked at the overnight general sitting on a war horse in front of him, and said in a muffled voice.
"Continue to search forward, turn Nandaoling up, and you must also find Her Royal Highness the Princess"
The voice of the general on the war horse was hoarse, and it seemed that he had been shouting a certain name in the mountains and forests for the past two days.
"Yes, my lord" which subordinate was ordered to stride back, without any superfluous movements or words, revealing a neat and stern fierceness.
In fact, at this time, all the soldiers looking in the forest were holding back a wave of anger in their hearts, this anger was generated because of shame and anger, shame and anger were naturally because of the traitor Yuan Jingli, although they were no longer wrong, but as soldiers of the dynasty, especially the most disciplined and honorable Praetorian Guards in the dignified right army, the incident of the desolate spy still made every soldier feel infinite shame.
At this time, they just wanted to find the whereabouts of Her Royal Highness the princess quickly, at least faster than the officers and soldiers of the other battalions.
As Xu Zi'an guessed, the news that Her Royal Highness the princess had not been assassinated had reached Kyoto the day after the commander of Xu Shu entered the camp to kill the traitor Yuan Jingli, and the court was shocked.
In recent years, His Majesty Emperor Wu, who rarely participated in the court meeting due to physical discomfort, actually appeared in the court meeting, and even beheaded several ministers who were responsible for the return of Her Royal Highness the princess to Beijing, and later proved that these ministers did have evidence of collusion with the barren clan, of course, those evidences were searched by the Qingye Division, as for how few people knew about how to find it, and few people wanted to know, anyway, the compound behind the palace has always been mysterious, and the officials in the court did not want to have anything to do with it.
After the meeting of the Japanese Dynasty, the Shenji Battalion, the Shentong Battalion, the official yamen, and even the Zhongshan Mansion, which is closely related to the army, have sent countless cultivators to travel with the army, and the military camps in Kyoto have gone out of the city to Daqingshan, from Kyoto to Daqingshan, this journey between Daqingshan, in the past, it was a few days and nights, but under this emergency, it took only one day to reach the foot of the mountain, for a time, there were countless officers and soldiers in the vast Daqingshan after trampling the footprints, and the soldiers looked for the voice of calling for Her Royal Highness the princess so that the birds in the forest did not dare to enter the forest。
The first officers and soldiers who were responsible for receiving the third battalion of the Praetorian Guard were still the fastest battalion.
"Second Brother Zhao, how can you say that Brother Yuan, how can he be a spy of the Desolate Clan," a burly general was next to the general who was sitting on a war horse at this time, and asked after his subordinates walked away.
Yuan Jingli was a lieutenant in the army, with a higher position, and several generals who were familiar with each other in the army in the past were commensurate with each other.
"Don't mention that traitor's name in the future," said the general named Zhao Hui in a cold voice, when he knew that Yuan Jingli was a spy of the Desolate Clan, he was the first person to draw his sword.
The burly man is called Yue Wu, and he is the fourth among several familiar generals.
Yue Wu suddenly realized his own words, slapped himself fiercely, and smacked on the ground in anger, saying, "Damn, I was angry when I mentioned that traitor."
"I don't know what the grandsons of the Military Aircraft Department and the Qingye Division are eating, in the past, they yelled at five and drank six, and they fought against us in the name of various investigations, and there were no clues at all about such a big matter, and they were all fucking rice buckets" Yue Wu said indignantly.
Hearing the name Qingye Division, Zhao Hui suddenly squinted, looked at the straight-talking fourth brother beside him and reminded, "Have you forgotten the order given by the Great Commander the day before yesterday?"
"What order, isn't it looking for Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"About the Qingye Division," Zhao Hui said as he looked at the gloomy jungle in front of him.
After being reminded by Zhao Hui, Yue Wu suddenly remembered the military order of the Great Commander not to deliberately embarrass with the Qingye Division, and he didn't know how to speak for a while, and muttered sullenly.
"I don't know where His Highness is at this time"
Zhao Hui was silent, took out the map and stared at it under the fire, and after a long time, he suddenly pointed to a place on the map and said.
"If Her Highness is still alive, then she can only be here at this time"
