One hundred and thirteenth day after the crossing.

After quelling the tax controversy, Li Kang was unwilling to delay any longer, and simply gave a word or two to the left-behind personnel, and went straight to the Jinhe without stopping.

Traveling far away in winter, there are pros and cons, needless to say, the weather is cold and the materials are scarce. But the harsh environment has also erased the threat of ninety percent from snakes, insects and beasts for pedestrians, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune!

But Li Kang and his party are destined to sleep in the wild, and the camping time will not be short, this is not a simple matter, compared to the spring and autumn season's 'outing-like comfort', just all kinds of thick warm clothes, animal skin tents, etc., almost occupy all the transportation vacancies of the group, hands, back, there is no vacancy, eh, Li Kang does not count.

"My lord... It should go in this direction. Bai Xiaoming, who was carrying a large cloth package on his shoulder and a small package on each end of the Tang knife in his hand, and was specially sent by Feng Wenhan to guide Li Kang, looked helplessly at Li Kang, who turned on his own again, and said carefully.

"The Golden River you found flows from southwest to northeast, right?" Li Kang stopped, his gaze wandering back and forth, and asked other questions.

"Uh... Yes!" Bai Xiaoming replied subconsciously, his face was blank, and he didn't know why the lord suddenly asked this.

At this time, Zhou Bi saw Li Kang stop, stretched out his hand to stop the team, and softly ordered Hu Zhibin (the deputy head of the second tun) a few words, walked behind Li Kang alone, glanced at Li Kang, and then looked at Bai Xiaoming with a questioning expression, obviously wanting to get a hint from him.

It's a pity that it ushered in a pair of apologetic eyes, indicating that there is nothing to do.

Li Kang didn't look back, naturally he didn't know the eye contact between the two people behind him, and said to himself: "We should be in the northeast of the Golden River, right?"

[Isn't this clear? Jinhe is in our southwest, and we are naturally in its northeast!] Bai Xiaoming was a little confused, and felt that Li Kang was becoming more and more strange.

Zhou Bi didn't know what Li Kang meant, but Mu Mu replied 'yes'.

Seeing that the two of them hadn't understood yet, Li Kang turned around and smiled confidently: "In this case, we won't go to the southwest, and go straight to the west, we should be able to reach the lower reaches of the Jin River earlier." It's like an obtuse triangle, the route we originally planned was the longest side of the obtuse angle, and the route that went straight west was the short side, much less than the long side. ”

Bai Xiaoming just wanted to object, but suddenly a flash of inspiration, [That's right!] Although he didn't understand what Li Kang said, it didn't prevent him from making up a simple map by himself, and he quickly understood what Li Kang meant.

Zhou Bi also reacted, and hurriedly smiled: "The lord's foresight and wisdom have impressed his subordinates, why didn't I think of such a simple truth?

"That's because of the inertia of thinking, and I didn't pay attention to it at first. Li Kang said with a smile, not caring at all, this kind of thing is normal. "Huh?" He saw that Bai Xiaoming looked like he wanted to say something at this time, and instantly guessed something, but pretended not to know and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Xiaoming was shocked when he heard this, blaming himself for not knowing how to act, but after thinking about it, he still asked uneasily: "Jinhe doesn't have Jinsha in every section, if..."

"What if there is no golden sand in the section of the Golden River due west?" Li Kang smiled at him appreciatively, "Not only that, but no one knows if the Golden River will stretch for that long, maybe it will merge into some lake halfway." ”

"Then you..." Although he was excited by Li Kang's appreciation, Bai Xiaoming quickly calmed down and asked puzzled.

Bai Xiaoming's performance was seen by Li Kang, and his perception of him was better for a while, and he thought that he would observe more in the future, so the tone of his speech was also affected, and he said without the slightest impatience: "When the time comes, just turn your head south." This obtuse angle is so large that even the sum of the two short sides is not much longer than the long side. If it's along the riverbank, it's even better, anyway, we have to survey the whole thing, which section of the river has golden sand, which section doesn't, sooner or later we have to determine. ”

"The lord is wise!" Now that the lord has patiently explained, what else can Bai Xiaoming say, he can only bow down and obey.

"Let's go, maybe they will find Jinhe in Fude before us. Li Kang smiled bitterly, "If you think about this layer again, the two teams can set off together." ”

......

This time, Li Kang guessed wrong, Yang Pingwei and his entourage, who set off a few days earlier, stopped and stopped all the way, and went from house to house, but until the Jinhe River discovered by the Coordination Division was directly north, they did not encounter any Jinhe, and the widest river they encountered was about the same as a small river. So...

"The Golden River didn't actually flow to this area. It would not be a great river, but a lake. When he stopped camping, Yang Pingwei stopped on a small hillside, looked at the sunset, and sighed, "Maybe the lord and his party have a temporary idea, think of a shortcut, and go straight to the west, hey, this super close becomes a detour..."

"Hehe, Director Yang is too worried. Qin Han, who was standing on the side, smiled faintly, "This is just your guess, the chances of the lord walking the same way will be greater." ”

"Oh, my opinion is the opposite of yours, I think the lord will be more likely to take a shortcut!" Yang Pingwei glanced at him and said narrowly, "Why don't we make a bet?"

"Bet?" Qin Han raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with interest, "Since Director Yang has this Yaxing, then Qin should accompany him... How to bet, and what to bet?"

"As for which way the gambling lord will eventually go, I choose to go straight to the west, find the air, and then go south!" Yang Pingwei said with a smile.

"Then I will choose the lord to take the original route. Qin Han replied very directly, without any delay.

"Okay, it's a deal!" Yang Pingwei laughed, pointed to Shan Cheng on the side and said, "Shan Cheng will be a witness for us." ”

"I'm fine!" Shan Cheng, who had been absent-minded and playing with a dagger, said indifferently, but immediately he frowned again, raised his head, and looked directly at the two, "Is it appropriate for you to bet on the lord like this?"

"Hahaha, don't worry!" Qin Han smiled heartily, patted Shan Cheng with his big hand, and said, "The lord is pragmatic and not pragmatic, so he won't care about this little thing." ”

"It's still Qin Tun who sees it thoroughly. Yang Pingwei pointed at Qin Han and said meaningfully, "It's not like the rudeness and recklessness that it shows..."

"Heh... Heh..."Qin Han froze when he heard this, and laughed dryly.

"I'm just reminding you that since you don't care about it, that's fine. After Shan Cheng finished speaking, he was distracted again.

"What about the bets?" Qin Han, who urgently needed to change the topic, hurriedly said, "How about betting on ten steel plates without adding some color?"

"Ten steel plates?" Yang Pingwei looked 'angry', "This is Yashi, do you know Yashi? How can it have anything to do with that Ah Duwu, it's insulting!"

"Then what do you think?" Qin Han narrowed his eyes and said with 'contempt', sneering at the fake Qinggao of the literati in his heart.

"Don't you have a three-legged bronze wine bottle?" Yang Pingwei said with a sly smile, revealing his fox tail.

"You..."
