It's just that the situation is a little worse, people are on their backs, all of them are embarrassed, and some of them are still injured.

The mountains of Changle Mountain are steep and steep, in the mountains that stretch for hundreds of miles, there are no birds and beasts, there are no dense forest giant trees, some only low bushes, the mountains are full of strange rocks and broken rocks, the cliffs that go straight up and down are dizzy, one does not fall down with heart, that is, there are no bones.

There is a hidden path in the mountains, and people who do not often cross mountains and mountains in Changle Mountain will never find this road.

Helian Wenyuan cruised around the mountains and whispered to Han Changdu: "Childe, after a night's journey, it is better to find a place to rest and rest." ”

Han Changdui turned his head and saw that his team, although not as embarrassed as that team, was also exhausted, and nodded: "Okay, Brother Helian will lead the way, find a safe place, and let everyone rest for a day." ”

Helian Wenyuan nodded, took the lead, and walked towards the mountain.

Sabao and his party followed breathlessly, not far away.

After walking all the way, Sabao felt a little uneasy, nodded with Brother Li, and the two of them urged their horses together, caught up with Han Changdu, and arched his hands with a smile: "This son, surnamed Kang, is going to Gaochangguo." ”

Han Changdui returned the salute and said lightly: "Is there something wrong with Master Kang?" ”

Sabao was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "This, I don't know if the son can take it on the next trip and find a place to rest." ”

Han Changdu's eyes narrowed, and they fell lightly on Sabao.

The surname Kang is the old man Sabao, this group of people is a caravan of the Lite people, such a Hu merchant, but he wants to do smuggling, but he is afraid that the goods he brings are not ordinary things.

There were also two people of unknown origin in the caravan.

He looked at the merchants who were following Sabao, most of them were brown-haired, deep-eyed, thick-eyed and high-nosed, and there were very few Han Chinese, and all of them were guards with quivers.

He hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Sabao said so, then follow over the mountain." ”

Sabao was overjoyed and hurriedly beckoned the camel team to follow.

The mountain road is particularly difficult to walk, and if you are not careful, you will step on the air and fall off the cliff, and everyone will dismount one after another, all leading the horses.

Yao Qi led the horse, and looked down to see the messy and muddy footprints left by the horse's hooves on the narrow mountain road.

Her heart moved, led the horse to the front, and walked side by side with Han Changdu.

Han Changdu's afterglow looked at Yao Qi, his expression moved slightly, and his voice was low: "See what's wrong?" ”

Yao Qi nodded: "There is no car wheel mark at all, and such a steep mountain, such a difficult mountain road, is it stupid, take this road with a baggage." ”

Han Changdui was silent, and his face was calm: "I'm afraid I'm forced to be helpless." ”

Yao Qi's eyes were cold, he caught up with Helian Wenyuan, and said in a low voice: "Brother Helian, is there any other road on this mountain besides this trail, the kind that can take the big car." ”

Helian Wenyuan tilted his head, staring intently at the lofty mountains, his face was gloomy and could drip water, and his voice hesitated: "There is one, but that road is attached to the mountain wall, and there are often boulders rolling down and hurting people." He paused slightly, and said in a low voice: "Ordinary caravans don't take that road, one is that they are pack horses without carts, so they don't need it, and the other is really dangerous." ”

Yao Qi nodded, retreated to Han Changdui's side, told Helian Wenyuan what he said as it was, and lowered his voice and said, "When you get to the repair place, it's better to let Helian Wenyuan take Gu Chen over to have a look." ”

Han Changdui saw Yao Qi holding his head up, a pair of apricot eyes were extremely bright, like stars, these eyes seemed to be able to see through his heart, and he had such a tacit understanding with him.

He nodded, and said after a moment of silence: "You can also go and have a look." ”

Yao Qi smiled without the slightest surprise, and hurried to Helian Wenyuan again, telling him what he meant.

Just to see that road, not to climb over the mountain from that road, Helian Wenyuan was still sure that he would retreat with his whole body, so he also came down.

Helian Wenyuan was very familiar with this road, and after turning around the mountain, he found a hidden mountain pass.

He breathed a sigh of relief: "That's it, let's take a break here." ”

Han Changdui nodded, these people had been running around all night, and finally had a place to stay, and they were all busy.

Sabao's party took advantage of the wind very interestingly, leaving the leeward place to Han Changwan and his party.

There was a dark blue glimmer in the sky, Yao Qi and Helian Wenyuan muttered a few words, Helian Wenyuan nodded, and called Gu Chen together.

Yao Qi saluted at Han Changdu: "Son, let's go ahead and explore the way." ”

Han Changdui narrowed his eyes and nodded.

He burned his hands on the fire and looked at Sabao and his party out of the corner of his eye.

The group also gathered the fire, and most of them wrapped their felt blankets in the fire and took naps against the mountain wall, while a few guards, dressed as guards, carried knives and patrolled back and forth vigilantly.

His eyes were slightly closed with an indifferent expression, and he did not move.

I don't know how long it took, the sun was shining, the fire was about to go out, only a faint light was left, and the pale white smoke was waving through the sunlight.

Han Changdui had already woken up, was stunned, and turned his head to look outside.

I saw three people walking out of the bright sun.

Yao Qi's red cheeks were covered with a thin layer of fine sweat, and he came out in the sun, shining with crystal clear light.

She pursed the corners of her white chapped lips and smiled, although she looked tired, she was still calm enough, and she didn't forget to give him a look.

His heart moved, he added a handful of firewood to the fire, took the firewood and dialed it, so that the fire burned a little stronger, and greeted with a faint smile: "It's cold in the mountains, roast the fire." ”

Yao Qi was stunned, she was a little apprehensive.

I've never seen Han Changdui look so kind, I'm really scared.

Seeing Helian Wenyuan and Gu Chen walking over to roast the fire, she couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Is there anything terrible, no matter how big the trap is, it can be worse than now?

She walked to the horse, took out the medicine from the blanket, sat down on the fire with a smile, and handed the medicine to Gu Chen: "Here, rub it." ”

Han Changdu's gaze fell on Gu Chen, only to see that the sleeves were tattered, revealing a scarlet wound, which was a new injury.

He said lightly: "Injured? ”

"Let the stone rub a bit." Gu Chen said expressionlessly, rolled up his tattered sleeves, and exposed a one-foot-long wound on his arm.

Sprinkled the medicine on his head, grinning with pain and cold sweat, he still gritted his teeth and didn't snort.

Let him cry out in front of Han Changdu, it is better to let him die immediately.

Seeing this posture, Helian Wenyuan knew that he had just gone to explore the road, and the three of them must have something to say, so he excused himself to sort out his baggage and hid to the side.

Only then did Yao Qi get closer to Han Changdui and said in a low voice: "It just rained a while ago, and all traces were drenched, and I didn't see anything. She paused, then reached over a hand: "I found this, though." ”

In the palm of his hand lay a piece the size of a fingernail, black and dull.

Han Changdu's eyes narrowed, and he took it and looked at it, his expression becoming more and more cold: "Sinan." ”

Gu Chen was very surprised when he heard these two words, and he also looked over, and after a glance, his face changed.

He also went with him, but he didn't see any of this.

He glanced at Yao Qi in surprise, he was still not as good as others, and he was not meticulous enough.

Yao Ji raised his eyebrows at Gu Chen proudly.

Gu Chen leaned back.

Yao Qicai pursed his lips and smiled: "It's Sinan, and it's the broken Sinan." ”

Han Changwan nodded.

The baggage team is equipped with two Sinan cars, and they all rely on Sinan cars and guides along the way, cooperating with each other to identify the direction.

Sinan is rare, mining, transportation and use are controlled in the hands of the imperial court, even if it is called by the army, the entry and exit must go through the accounts of the ordnance supervisor, and it is impossible for outsiders to get it.

However, as soon as he thought about it, even the crossbow could flow out, so what could Sinan not do.

He breathed a sigh of relief and did not speak.

Yao Qi also guessed Han Changdui's doubts, turned his eyes to look at Gu Chen and chuckled: "Childe, Sinan's matter, you really have to ask Gu Shenxian." ”

Gu Chen suddenly raised his head when he heard this, his eyes flashed, and he smiled slyly.

Han Changdui sighed, a little confused, looked at Gu Chen and said lightly: "This Sinan, is there anything else to say?" ”

Gu Chen smiled indifferently: "Childe knows that the Sinan of this dynasty is mined from the magnetic mountain, but the mining mouth is different, and the hardness of Sinan is not the same, the stronger the magnetism, the more brittle the texture, and the easier it is to break." ”

Han Changdui understood this, and nodded calmly.

Yao Ji didn't interject, turned over the dried and preserved lettuce to cook the soup, and baked the flax cake on the fire.

The flames licked the small copper bowl, the lettuce was soaked in hot water, and the fragrance of flax cakes also came out.

Gu Chen twitched the tip of his nose, frowned in anguish, and continued: "What Ah Ji said is that his subordinates can tell which mine is mined from according to Sinan's fracture. ”

Han Changdu's eyebrows stretched and smiled: "So that's the case, Brother Gu has such a good ability." He threw Sinan into Gu Chen's hands and said lightly: "Then there is Brother Lao Gu." ”

Gu Chen walked a few steps, walked into the sun, greeted the light, and rubbed it at the broken point for a long time, and finally picked it down a little.

After a toss, he walked back to Han Changdu's side, and lowered his voice in surprise: "Childe, it's very strange, this is the top-grade Sinan, I remember fifteen years ago, the mine mouth was sealed, and there was no such Sinan mined." ”

Han Changdui was stunned for a moment.

In recent years, the imperial court has successively used troops in the Hexi area, and has fought many wars with the Turks, the Sinan car is easy to be damaged, the amount is very large, and the Sinan that is now used is not available, and the Sinan fifteen years ago was only afraid that it would have been made into a Sinan car and destroyed in the war.

The Sinan fragments that appeared here were actually mined fifteen years ago.

Fortunately, the distribution, receiving, and recovery of Sinan cars are all filed.

His eyes narrowed, and it seemed that after returning to Beijing, he would have to check the thin book of the ordnance supervisor.

Just when Han Changdui was thinking about something, Gu Chen fiddled with the Sinan fragment in his hand and suddenly let out a low exclamation.
