Chapter 2: Into the Desert (2)
Fang Ling smiled and immediately said: "We don't have much time to relax, there must be people in the city who know about the five poisonous toads, they will soon know that the effect of the poison sac is only three days, after three days, the poison sac will wither, the poison is not there, and with the character of Temuqi, he will definitely seize the key at all costs, and he will not let it fall into the hands of Tulan Motuo!"
Everyone's expressions froze, and another eagle roar came from the sky, Song Ying'er couldn't help but raise her head, raised her little fist and said: "And this hateful eagle, with it chasing, we really can't run away if we want to." ”
Fang Ling smiled slightly: "Yes, it's true that we can't run away if we want to, so we must run quickly, as long as we reach the territory of the Chahan clan, we can breathe a sigh of relief." ”
Lu Bei immediately asked Sachar, who was leading the way in front, "Brother Sa, how long does it take to get from Songdan City to the territory of the Chahan clan?"
Sachar quickly replied, "About ten days." ”
"Ten days is too long, what if we travel day and night?" Fang Ling asked.
Sachar thought for a moment and said, "It will take five or six days." ”
Fang Ling nodded slightly, no longer spoke, everyone rode their horses and whips, there was only one thought in their hearts, then hurry up and reach a safe place before the enemy arrives.
The crowd traveled day and night, and changed horses once on the way, and in the process of hurrying, they also heard about the war in the south from the mouths of passing caravans.
In the past few days after Fang Ling left the Chu State, the domestic war continued, and the army of the Eight Kings had conquered more than a dozen cities, especially Yizhou, which had occupied almost the entire land of Xuzhou, and was now heading towards Dingzhou.
The Chu Emperor was furious, mobilized heavy troops to defend in various places, and the war was in full swing, due to the chaos of the war in the east, so a large number of people fled to the north, which was still stable for the time being.
On the fourth day, Fang Ling and his party finally arrived in the area of the Miller River Valley.
The Miller River Valley is one of the shortcuts to the Chahans, a large river creates a valley plain that makes the water and grass abundant here, and a large number of tribes settle here every year, and you can see cattle, sheep and horses everywhere, take a deep breath, and the whole chest is filled with the smell of the grassland.
Once you cross the Miller Valley, you are less than two days away from the territory of the Chahans.
However, when the people rushed to this place, they heard bad news, the river had risen a few days ago, and the road had been flooded, and now it was difficult for cars and horses to travel, and it was almost impossible to cross the Miller Valley.
However, Fang Ling and the others still insisted on rushing to the valley area, but when they looked at the valley of Zhuma, they saw that the valley that was originally a great road had been flooded by the big river, and even if there was a boat, they had to go against the grain to pass, not to mention that in this grassland land, where was there a boat?
Fang Ling couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked Sachar, "If we don't pass through the Miller River Valley, what road can we take?"
Pointing to the east, Sachar said, "We can only reach the Chahan territory by bypassing the river valley and passing through the Tal Forest Farm. However, if you want to get there, even if you have to travel day and night, it will take two more days. ”
"Two days? no, it's too long to delay, is there any other way?" Fang Ling shook his head and asked.
Sachar thought for a while, and then stopped: "Yes, yes, but ......"
