Chapter 228: All the Way to the Abyss (Medium)

It took four hours for the dragon to wake up, and the light was already shining bright, illuminating the small valley through, and the post road from the dragon's spine mansion to the north was ten miles away, and there were no pedestrians on this mountain path that could hardly be called a road. "You missed breakfast, don't miss lunch. I just lit a fire at the back of the hill and brought the hot pebbles back here, and the rabbit meat was ready in a little while. By the way, the hare was caught by Brother Moon-Eater, and although he only has one eye left, he is still a good hunter. Seeing him sit up, Gu Tie nodded at him, "I'm D-Jonah II, a fifth-level astrologer, and your bodyguard for this trip." ”

Long Shiyue was changing the dressing for the wound with his bare upper body, revealing an extremely strong muscle, and he blamed: "Shiyu, don't be reckless, this Mr. Jonah is a very powerful mage, and he will escort us to the end of the Han Kingdom." ”

Shadow Sect's second-class Xuanfu stared at Gu Tie with a pair of gloomy eyes, his eyes were full of distrust: "Hmph, the Long family is completely finished, how can there be a fool in this world who is willing to help the Long family get ahead......?

"Hey!" Gu Tie immediately shouted, "That water is poisonous!

Since the morning, the brilliant green sword "Chopper" has been stuck in the grass by the river, which has corroded the surrounding five yards to the point of no grass, and I don't know how many innocent fish and shrimp corpses have floated downstream of the stream. Long Shiyue said that this sword was too poisonous, and it was best not to touch it except the owner, so the two of them washed their faces and boiled water from the upstream. At this time, seeing that Long Shiyu wanted to drink the highly poisonous stream water, the Chinese were naturally shocked.

The Shadow Sect Xuanfu knelt by the stream, turned around and showed a mysterious smile: "I'm afraid it's not poisonous enough......" After that, he picked up the water and drank it in a big gulp, sighed comfortably, and washed his face by the way. Then, he staggered over to the "Chopper", stretched out his hand, drew the dagger, and thrust it into its scabbard, and the fellow looked much better than being poisoned.

Long Shiyue said to the stunned Chinese: "My clan brother has the power of 'drinking water', and since the awakening of the bloodline ability, he has fed on poisons, and the toxins in his body are only three points stronger than arsenic. Because of this, the Council of Elders gave him the 'Worm' to use, because except for the jade eater, no one in the entire Long family could control this famous sword with an astonishing poison. He escaped from the hands of the trolls, not only to protect himself with the secret technique of imprisoning the dragon, but also to corrode the tentacles with the power of the 'drinking bird'. Seeing that Gu Tie's face was not good, he hurriedly added: "Although Shiyu's temperament is a bit extreme, please rest assured, 'Drinking Bird' is only the power of the bloodline to transform the physique, and it has no attack ability, I will also take strict care of him, and it will not cause trouble to you." ”

Gu Tie's only feeling at this time was that he wanted to point to the sky and scold his mother. If your encounter in the "world" is the main plot of the game, the guy who wrote the mission script must be a complete bastard, with a chasing soldier and a predictable future, and two burdens through the dangerous battlefield to an inexplicable country, one of the burdens is still a problem child who may turn himself over at any time,—— will this journey be too strange? The Chinese muttered a few words, Long Shiyu came over and sat down, picked up a piece of jerky and put it in his mouth, and slowly chewed it with silver bright teeth as fine as rice grains, and the expression on his face seemed to be smiling, which made people's hearts creepy.

"Ahem. Gu Tie unconsciously moved his buttocks back, cleared his throat and said, "Brother Shiyue told me the story of the head of the Long family just now, I probably figured out the ins and outs, now let's talk about the next step, how do we go? How far is it from the border? How many days does it take to walk? What should I do if I encounter the large army of the Hou Qin people?"

Long Shiyu was silent, as if it was none of his business, and only stared at the astrologer with a pair of faintly green eyes. Long Shiyue thought for a while and replied: "There are still more than 700 miles away from the end of the Han Dynasty, but out of this mountainous area, go northeast for 80 miles, and you can reach the important town of Liang Sui State 'Weiji', the general of Zhenguo Lu Shichao is stationed there, he himself is brave, there are 50,000 elite soldiers under his account, and dozens of Lu family staff are assisted, as long as he reaches Weiqi City, he will be able to get the help of General Lu, and then go to the border naturally much smoother." ”

"Twenty thousand. Gu Tie corrected.

"What did Mr. Yue say?" Yu Tuan Yu asked, puzzled.

"Jonah is called Jonah, Jonah is not a surname, Jonah is a surname. The Chinese covered his face and said, "I said 20,000 elite soldiers." Lu Shichao sent 30,000 soldiers south to reinforce Pingyin City, but they were completely annihilated by the Later Qin Jinge Cavalry and the Anglican Priest Regiment under Pingyin City, don't you know this news?"

Long Shiyue was stunned, and only after a while did he mutter: "None of the scouts sent by the Long family have returned, so I don't know about this news...... I didn't expect that even General Lu couldn't win, these white-clothed demons, hateful, hateful......"

"Hmph. Hehe. Ha ha. Long Shiyu spit out a mouthful of meat residue, and said with a strange smile: "Emperor Lu is always afraid that these five Jiedu will make the army self-respecting and want to rebel, so he has repeatedly cut down and reduced the army, so that the 500,000 army of the Liang Sui Kingdom has lost more than half of it in ten years...... Oh, I'm afraid it's over if you want to regret it, I heard that Heicheng Pingyin is out of people, right? The emperor died earlier than those fart people...... But this smelly mage, where did you get such news? Could it be that you are actually a spy of the Later Qin people, who wants to get something out of me?"

"Shiyu!" Long Shiyue glared and shouted angrily.

Long Shiyu waved his hand: "Oh, there is only one eye left, don't stare at it, 'big brother'!"

Long Shiyue held back her anger and bowed her head to Gu Tie to apologize: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yue, I made you laugh." If the clan brother is not careful, I will definitely discipline him strictly!"

"Come on, who doesn't have a brother who can't make it?" the Chinese smiled tolerantly and generously, secretly rolling his eyes at Long Shiyu and shooting back. He smoothed the floating soil on the ground, drew a circle to represent the Long family's mansion, and pointed: "The Later Qin people came from the east, so what is the possibility of encountering regular troops along the way?"

Long Shiyue thought for a while, and drew a zigzag line in the northeast of the circle: "The topography of the Liang Sui Kingdom is like this, the south is the great lake Yunmengze, the east borders the Later Qin State, the north is separated by the 'Tianyuan' and the Late Han Kingdom, and the west is the sea of divine blessing. The line between Heicheng Pingyin and the Longjia Mansion is a plain area, and from here to the east, there is a post road leading to the national border 'Dongpingguan', from where the Houqin dog attacked. Our current location is on the edge of the mountainous area, this mountain is called 'Yinping Mountain', the mountain range is endless, occupying most of the territory of the northeastern part of the Liang Sui Dynasty, and the part that extends into the Later Qin country is called the 'Yangping Mountain', but it is actually the same mountain system. From here to the north, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel, and when the rainy season the road and bridge are washed away by floods, it is even more difficult to pass, the mountain range is deserted, there are very few people, and the mountain road cannot accommodate the passage of troops. He then drew a triangle on the ground, and used an arc to connect the circle with the triangle: "If Hou Qin Gou wants to send troops to 'defend a few days', he must detour from the plain area northwest of Pingyin City, and go around Yinping Mountain in a big circle, the total distance is more than five hundred miles, and even fast horses have to run for three days." Therefore, the possibility of us encountering enemy ** troops along the way is very small, Mr. Yoo. ”

"Jonah, Jonah. Gu Tiedao, "I don't know if you have heard this story, but coincidentally, there is a 'Yin Ping' in the story." ...... Oh, you certainly haven't heard of it. It is said that at the end of the Three Kingdoms of the Later Han Dynasty, Wei and Shu exchanged troops, and the Wei army was blocked by the Shu general Jiang Wei in the Sword Pavilion. Taking advantage of the battle between Jiang Wei and Zhonghui, Deng Ai led the army from Yinping to the south along Jinggu Road, digging mountains and opening roads, repairing stacks and bridges, crossing 700 miles of mountain roads, going straight down to Jiangyou, an important town in Shu, capturing Mianzhu, and then breaking through Ruo County, reaching the city of Chengdu, and forcing the surrender of Liu Chan, the lord of the Hou. What does this story tell us? Fighting a war is similar to sleeping with a woman, and it is correct to follow the right path, but occasionally taking the wrong path may have unexpected results. ...... So, do you two get it?"

Long Shiyue said with a dull expression: "I, I don't understand, Mr. Yue." ”

Long Shiyu sneered: "What nonsense are you talking about? I also heard a lot of stories when I was learning the lingua franca of the Western Continent, but I have never heard of such a nonsense joke!"

Gu Tie shook his head hatefully: "They all said that you don't understand, you have to study hard! What I want to say is that everyone thinks that the Hou Qin people will bypass Yinping Mountain and attack Weiji City from the west, and that Lu He is a trendy general must have been ready for battle, but in case the Hou Qin people send a small elite army to cross Yinping Mountain to cover the past from behind, it will definitely catch the Weiji defenders off guard. If the leading general of the Later Qin State has a little brain, I am afraid that it will not be long before this road will be crowded with Later Qin soldiers. ”

The two heirs of the Long family were stunned together. Gu Tie leaned back against the tree and sighed, "You are still tender, friends." If your family owner is still here, you may be able to keep the Long family's mansion alive. I saw the key to that war at a glance, to command the Jingo cavalry and the priesthood to accurately control the situation on the battlefield, there must be a commander who has an overview of the whole situation, and the only place in the vicinity that can accommodate the command post is the Broken Tower 'Tianxuan'. If your sinister and vicious family master led a surprise army to attack Tianxuan and decapitate the leader of the other party, the result might be completely different......"
