Volume 1 Chapter 21 Fangs Trail
Prince Sanssouci followed the caravan all the way to the west, the surrounding scenery gradually changed from green forest to yellow sand, the desert was cloudy and windy, the wind rolled up the curtain of the car window, Prince Sanssouci was asleep, at this time choked a nose of sand, sneezed and woke up.
"We're here?" Prince Sanssouci asked sleepily.
"Hahaha, the hero really has the demeanor of a general, so calm and calm, and he sleeps soundly. We have just entered the realm of the Western Capital, and the next road is afraid that it will not be easy to walk~" The old businessman twisted his stubble, seemingly looking out the window, but he carefully looked at the young man in front of him with his spare eyes. He had already seen that this boy was not a master of a bitter family, but it was hard to say whether there was a change in the family, but it was just that looking at the material and craftsmanship of his clothes, it should be made by a famous family in the imperial capital, and it was expected that this young man was not an official eunuch or a businessman, but he also pretended not to know, so as not to get drunk and make money.
"Hey, brother smiled, rude and rude~" Prince Wuwu straightened his clothes with a little embarrassment, and was about to look out to see the excitement, when the carriage and horses suddenly stopped, and there was a flustered footsteps from far and near, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper opened the curtain of the carriage and waited on the stage, leaning in halfway in, "Master, there is Poison Fang Ridge in front." ”
Poison Fang Ridge is a must pass through the eastern part of the Western Capital, and you have to pass through this Poison Fang Ridge when you come to the Western Capital from the human world. In the early years, there was no one here, it was full of poisonous insects and beasts, which were better than the monsters, because the poison often poured out of the nest, and no matter how capable people were, they couldn't resist it. Later, the trade route was opened, and the chamber of commerce raised funds to clean up this territory, but with the prevalence of thieves, it fell into disrepair for a long time, and then it fell into decay, leaving only a dilapidated fortress, but no one dotted it, but it became a place to hide dirt and dirt.
When they arrived at this Poison Fang Ridge, the sky had already darkened, and the middle-aged housekeeper wanted to come and ask for instructions: "Look, should we find a hidden place to spend the night or break through overnight?" ”
The old merchant looked through the gap in the curtain, and saw that the wolf smoke had been extinguished on the gate of the Poison Fang Ridge, and there was no open fire, and it was black and lay there like a beast with a big mouth and a false sleep, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while. If you camp outside, not to mention delaying the trip, you are afraid of long nights and dreams, if you rush over, it is dark at this time, and you are afraid of an ambush and bury a group.
"I remember there used to be a path around here?"
"Master, you don't know, I inquired first when I came, the path is said to have been hit by a sandstorm at the beginning of spring, and it may not work."
"That being the case...
"That being the case, I am willing to go and find out the truth in my later life!" Prince Wuji lost face just now, and wanted to seize the opportunity to perform.
"Very good, then there is Lao Gongzi, butler, you go and show Gongzi a way."
Wuji picked up his sword and jumped out of the carriage, stretched his muscles, and then followed the direction of the housekeeper's guidance and galloped away, the housekeeper followed closely behind and was not weak at all, the lord saw it in his eyes, and expected that this kid had some ability, although it was not a straw bag, but it was far from being transcendental, and his heart was at ease for a while, so he was not worried that he was harboring evil intentions and making trouble.
Prince Wuji's swordsmanship is indeed not at home, but the old businessman can't count the Kaihuang Sword in his hand that has been Kaifeng for many years, but it has the divine power to stir up the storm. Of course, the mystery of this is not even clear to the prince himself at all, this Kaihuang sword originated from ancient times, although his clan is said to be a descendant of the gods, but this may also be a gimmick of the foolish people of the royal family. A typical characteristic of the agrarian people is that they rely on the sky for food, and they often know it but do not know why.
Prince Wuji is also an unknown master, and he is young and vigorous, and now he is full of pride, so he has long put his words and deeds cautiously, do what he can, and judge the situation The teachings of those teachers have been left behind, and he just wants to show his strength and have a happy adventure.
He and the housekeeper went around to the mound on the side of the Poison Fang Ridge one after the other, there is a terrain that suddenly sinks, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and it is really impossible to find it from a distance, this path winds up the sand dunes, and it can indeed bypass the Poison Fang Ridge above, but unfortunately it has been buried in the yellow sand for most of it.
They looked at each other helplessly, changed their decision to return, suddenly heard a movement above, and hurriedly hid under the sand dunes, although the fortress on the fangs ridge was in disrepair, but it could also block the wind and rain, I think it has been occupied, thieves are rampant here, and it is expected that the people in this fortress are not good at stubble.
The housekeeper glanced at Prince Wuji, meaning to act in a low-key manner, and when he saw the opportunity to escape, the Prince Wuji would be mistaken, thinking that he was going to encircle the other party with one left and one right, and nodded immediately. The butler heard the sound of people approaching, and was about to run away, but the opposite one jumped up and was already killed.
He didn't have time to shout Wuji, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, so he had to follow up, complaining bitterly in his heart, afraid that he would be affected by the stunned head, and began to complain about the master.
