Chapter Forty-Three: The Ancient Yang Road

The sky was slightly bright, and more than 100 people rode out on horseback. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In the army, there is also a carriage. Matthew was wrapped in a blanket, the sun had not risen, and the temperature in Hanhaiguan was still terrifyingly low.

Ma Xiuyuan, who had only slept for two hours, said goodbye to his mother and eldest brother, and then went out to look for the traces of the Huangquan Demon Monkey.

When it comes to the Duanyang Festival, it is the time of the year when the yang energy is at its peak, and at this time, the people of the Demon Sect are all day and night, so Huang Qianshan will readily agree to Ma Xiuyuan and help him protect the way, otherwise he will give him a thousand courages, and he will not dare to go out of the customs so swaggeringly.

Matthew Yuan opened his eyes in a daze, lifted the curtain, and asked, "Where are you?"

Xiao Yuanshan wore an iron helmet and covered his ears with a cloth curtain, like a pig with a fat head and big ears. In such a windy and sandy place, I have to wrap myself tightly. Hearing Ma Xiuyuan's words, Huang Qianshan on the side turned around and said, "If you go back to the world, the Eagle Ridge in front is the location of Guyang Road. ”

"Yes, keep going. "It's still far from the real sand sea, and the people of the Demon Sect haven't touched it, and Matthew hasn't noticed any of the demon's breath from afar.

Through the curtain, Ma Xiuyuan asked, "Captain Huang, do you know that my father went to Guyang Dao to ambush the demon three days ago?"

"Yes. However, except for the people in the Demon Camp, the camp guards who were originally stationed at Han Customs and the camp guards who were later transferred from Guangling did not know about this operation. ”

"Why did my father personally lead the troops?" It stands to reason that such an ambush is very unwise for the commander of a party to lead in person.

"This is the question...... Humiliation is also not very clear. ”

Xiao Yuanshan took over and said, "The prince may not know the prince's marching style. As long as the prince is in the middle tent, he will fight every battle, which is why so many brothers are willing to follow the prince. ”

Matthew removed the blanket from his body. As soon as the morning sun comes out of Hanhaiguan, it seems that the hot sun will immediately feel the hot breath. The group walked forward slowly, the poplars of the Eagle Ridge were dense, and a sheep intestine trail was like a ravine between the mountains. After entering Guyang Road, Matthew Yuan got out of the car, stretched his waist, and said, "Is this here?"

The mountains are steep, covering the sky and the sun, and after entering the ancient road, the heat has also eased a lot. Matthew glanced at the exposed rocks on one side and asked, "This is the white stone, right?"

The second monk of Huang Qianshan was puzzled, for this little son of Buddhism, he couldn't figure out what the way was, and he didn't dare to refuse rashly, so he said: "There is nothing wrong." ”

"Very good. Captain Huang, take your people, dig stones for me, pick big digs. Matthew glanced at the Zuoying masters who had cultivated profoundly, and said a little abruptly.

"Huh?"

Xiao Yuanshan and Huang Qianshan behind him were dumbfounded, didn't they say that they had come over to find the traces of the demon monkey, how could they become digging stones? Not only were these two stunned, but the people in Zuo Ying, who heard Ma Xiuyuan's order, all jumped their eyelids, thinking that they had been reused in the hands of this little man, but they still came over to do coolies, and they were even harder coolies, so where could they complain.

Therefore, in the left battalion, which has always been obedient, there are also doubtful voices.

"Shizi, we are waiting to follow the prince, not for you to be a coolie!"

Matthew looked over from afar and asked, "If you don't want to, take off your armor and go back immediately." If you follow King Guangling, as a member of the Demon Suppression Battalion, you should obey unconditionally! Captain Huang, do you have any doubts?"

"I didn't ...... No. Huang Qianshan saw Ma Xiuyuan's stunning gaze, and seemed to have seen the charm of King Guangling before in a trance, swallowed his saliva, and didn't dare to say anything. Dig the stones, dig the stones, anyway, there is no sin in digging stones, it is better to be stable.

Ma Xiuyuan returned to the car and said slowly: "Xiao Yuanshan, take your men and horses and continue to move towards the goal." ”

"Yes!"

Leaving behind a large group of the left battalion digging stones, the carriage was escorted by more than a dozen henchmen of the guard battalion, and marched towards the depths of the ancient Yang Road.

"Brother Huang, what do you mean in this world?

Huang Qianshan was also worried and had nowhere to vent, so this person hit the muzzle of the gun, "This month's military salary is less for you?"

"Nope. ”

"You kid took ten times the salary of the coolie, and dug up stones to treat you badly?"

“......”

Huang Qianshan looked at the carriage in the distance and muttered, "What kind of has he stepped on in his life, Xiao Yuanshan, and followed such a master." What a damn grievance. "Their left camp, it seems that since its establishment from the beginning, it is a force used by the king of Guangling to balance the forces of the rivers and lakes of the demon camp, and he Lao Huang said that it is the third-in-command of the demon camp, and it is just a flag of the prince.

"Look at it! Don't hurry up and dig up the stones!"

......

......

Ma Xiuyuan took a map, estimated the location, and saw a large area of scorched black on the ancient road, which should be the place where his father had an accident yesterday, so he said, "Lao Xiao, stop here." ”

Xiao Yuanshan reined in his horse, looked around, and said, "You, you, you, and you, go up the mountain to investigate, and report it immediately if there is any trouble." ”

Lao Xiao is also the leader of the pro-guard battalion, although his strength is mediocre, he may be at the same level as the monk of the head of the mountain, it is difficult to have the strength of Huang Qianshan, but the character of the thick and fine and the background of the mountain bandit are deeply respected by the king of Guangling. From a thief to a soldier, although the ruffian is a little heavier, at least the possibility of anti-water is much smaller.

Matthew understands the reason for this. His father was also born as a mountain bandit......

"Xiao Shizi, what should we do next?"

"Seventy paces to the southeast, send someone to see if there is any trace of new soil. ”

Lao Xiao Fei waved his hand, and a henchman of the pro-guard battalion immediately ran over to check.

"Shizi, Xiao Tou, there are traces of new soil. ”

Xiao Yuanshan raised his eyebrows and said, "Copy the guy, dig it for me." ”

Matthew jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the blackened poplar on the side. He grabbed a piece of charcoal from the trunk of a tree and sniffed it closer.

"Shizi, is there any problem?"

Since Xiao Yuanshan came out of the customs, he has not left Ma Xiu an inch, for fear that something will go wrong.

The ashes in Ma Xiuyuan's hand fell to the ground, and he muttered to himself: "There is a fluctuation of demonic energy, but there seems to be a fire after this." "As for the demonic energy, unless it is like the person who infiltrated the palace at the beginning, deliberately concealing it, otherwise the person who cultivates the Buddha is the most sensitive to this demonic energy.

"Do you want to call Huang Qianshan and send more people to search around?"

Matthew dusted his hands, "No need. It didn't come much. ”

"Xiao Shizi, do you suspect that this inner ghost is in the demon camp?"

"The forces of the right camp are complicated, and the elite of the Thousand Illusion Gate has been wiped out, it is very likely that Qiu Hao's sworn enemy did it, but it is not ruled out that there are people from the Demon Sect hiding in the left camp, which is the most dangerous. Of course, if the Thousand Illusion Gate took the opportunity to make a move and wanted to rebel, and as a result, when both sides were defeated, they happened to meet the people of the Demon Sect, which was already the best expectation. ”

Ma Xiuyuan stared at Xintu and gradually put it aside, and asked himself in a dumb voice that others, even Xiao Yuanshan couldn't hear, "It's just that there is really such a coincidence?"
