After passing Juyanze, the caravan traveled north for more than ten days, passing through the entire territory of the South Gobi Province, which is now in Mongolia, and crossed the Gobi.

After crossing the Gobi and desert, traveling thousands of miles, until this sunset, the stored water bladder was about to bottom, and only then did I see the mountains and mountains that faintly appeared in the sky ahead.

"Gold Mountain! That's Jinshan! The mad old man looked at the mountains on horseback from afar, the color of black gold in the scorching sun, east and west, and no ends in sight.

This golden mountain is the Altai Mountains of later generations, and Altai means gold in Mongolian. Because this place is rich in gold, the Han people are used to calling it Jinshan.

After more than ten days of boring progress, several guides constantly corrected the route, for fear of making mistakes, and there were several disputes for this, and now when I see the Altai Mountains in the distance, I am naturally cheering and relieved.

Bao Yuanqian and the others swept away the haze, he raised his arm and sniffed his armpits, and his facial features were distorted and disgusted.

The guide was happy, and they were naturally even happier, although everyone was very water-saving, and even did not take a bath for more than ten days, and their bodies were stinking and they were reluctant to use a little water, but the water bladder was still in an emergency two days ago.

If you can't find the remnants of the Altai Mountains in these two days, you will have to endure hardships, but fortunately, there is no endless road, and finding this Altai Mountains means that you can get water supplies.

These rivers, which originate in the southeastern remnants of the Altai Mountains, are just the right time for them to recuperate.

More importantly, this remnant of the Altai Mountains is the dividing line between the Tatars and the Warats, and across the Altai are the Warat tribes, and the south is the Tatar sphere of influence.

Bao Yuanqian's heart that had been hanging for many days also let go, he extremely distrusted the person of Ghost Lichi, he was not afraid of the people of Waralai to deceive, but he was afraid that in the future, Ghost Lichi, who was inextricably linked with the Tatars, would lead the Tatars to make trouble from it.

After all, only the people present knew the experience of this ghost power red in history, so only they were worried that this ghost power red would collude with Tatar Arutai.

As the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse, everyone hurried to a slow for a while, and found that there is no pass in the remaining veins of the Altai Mountains in front, this horizontal mountain range is not difficult to find, and it is rare to find the gap in the continuous mountain range to turn over.

Zhang Shanduan summoned Bao Yuanqian and a few guides to sum up, and there was still some water source that had bottomed out in the water bladder, so he stopped in Shannan to discuss, and found the pass to turn over tomorrow.

The stars are dotted, but the main account where Zhang Shanduan is located is arguing, and Bao Yuanqian is not surprised to sit on the side, these people all the way in order to show their magical powers, find a sense of existence, and show their value all the time, naturally launched a fierce quarrel.

A few guides, plus a ghost lichi, determined their general location on the map, and then started an argument.

"If you want me to say go to Chrysostom, it is a famous road, and from there it goes down the mountain and then there is the grassland!" A guide slapped his thigh and said.

"Yes, that's right, don't take the shortcut road, what kind of trail to take, I think it's purely for bandits to take advantage of!" The other person rarely supported the united front.

The crazy old man, who had always chattered, was surprisingly quiet at this time, not saying a word, just pondering the map, and the ghost Li Chi on the side sighed: "You two only want to travel far and near, but ignore the imminent shortage of water in the team. ”

Ghost Li Chi got up and walked to the crazy old man's side, pointed to the map and said: "If the water source is sufficient, it is natural to take the Jinkou Road, but now I am waiting for the water bladder to bottom, if I take the Jinkou Avenue to climb the mountain, it will take a day to reach the source of the Ezi River." ”

"If this man is thirsty for a day or two, and cannot bear it, how can these horses and beasts bear it? Be careful that before the Purple River arrived, the horses scattered and fled. ”

What he said is extremely reasonable, in this northern plateau, camels and horses are the boats of life, and it is difficult to move an inch without horses.

Zhang Shanduan and a few people looked at Ghost Lichi, and Ghost Lichi's eyes swept and said: "But the butterfly holy spring on this trail is a good place to replenish water, and the most important thing is that you can arrive tomorrow." ”

The other two immediately objected: "If you step up the road, Ezihe can arrive in one day, walking the road is the most reliable choice, if you take the butterfly path, the two mountains are urgent, if there are bad people to seek money and kill people, we are in a dilemma!" ”

Bao Yuanqian has been watching Ghost Lichi's every move, and over the past few days, since Blackwater City, his role as a guide has gradually decreased.

Each of his proposals was not accepted, and several guides deliberately opposed him and excluded him.

Just now, in fact, these two guides also wanted to take the trail, but Ghost Lichi opened his mouth to propose, so they came against him and unanimously asked to take the Golden Mouth Avenue.

Bao Yuanqian looked at Ghost Lichi with an enthusiastic and urgent face, it seemed that he really wanted to let this pedestrian take the butterfly path, Ghost Lichi had bad intentions, and he didn't want to trust him.

However, with the ghost power of this person's city, how could he be so urgent and sincere, it was simply three hundred taels of silver here.

He couldn't have done such a stupid thing!

"Boss Zhang, I think what Ghost Lichi said is very reasonable, taking the butterfly path can quickly replenish the water source, if you can't find the Purple River on the main road, it will be troublesome." Just when Zhang Shanduan and Zhang Shanduan hesitated, Bao Yuanqian got up and saluted.

As soon as Bao Yuanqian's words fell, the crazy old man on the side seemed to have a flash of light in his eyes, which was fleeting, and he looked at Bao Yuanqian mysteriously.

Zhang Shanduan was a little surprised when he heard Bao Yuanqian say this, but he didn't expect Bao Yuanqian to listen to Ghost Lichi's opinion unexpectedly, he looked at Bao Yuanqian, but received Bao Yuanqian's affirmative eyes.

The crazy old man, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly smiled and said, "I think what Boss Bao said is right, this butterfly trail is a good place to go, hehehe." ”

After hearing this, the two guides looked at the crazy old man with some puzzlement, you must know that in the past days, this crazy old man spoke for the two of them, and the three of them were unanimous, but I didn't expect the crazy old man to be....

As soon as the two sang and harmonized, Zhang Shanduan had a bottom, and despite the opposition of the two guides, he decided the route.

Bao Yuanqian turned around and looked at Ghost Lichi, Ghost Lichi's sincere face had long since disappeared, and there was no joy to succeed, but he looked at Bao Yuanqian with gloom.

However, this look dissipated very quickly, and in an instant, it changed to a smiling face, "Yes, let's go.. Butterfly trail, yes good. ”

Bao Yuanqian sneered in his heart, and said that you are good at acting with ghost power, but Lao Tzu is a person who knows your future generations well, and he wants to make a heart with your Uncle Bao on this, I am afraid that it will be a little tender.

This ghost Lichi's performance is not what he expected, since you said to take the path, then I will go the opposite way, then I will listen to you take the path.

He was obviously a little self-defeating, and he had already understood that everyone from Zhangshan to ordinary sergeants was extremely wary of him, otherwise he would not have looked for so many guides.

He knew that whatever he said, these people had to weigh three points, and it was difficult to listen to his own opinions, but the two guides who were against him could help him.

He simply said a butterfly trail that the guide wanted to go, and the two saw him first, so they naturally didn't want to listen to his opinion, so they proposed to take Chrysostom Avenue.

It's just that he didn't expect that Bao Yuanqian, who had always been unusually wary of him, voted in favor of him at a critical moment, and even Feng Saizhang, who had trouble with him from time to time at that time, did not agree with the words of the two guides.

I actually followed what I said, and went on!
