Chapter 571: The Opposite Way (1st Update)
An hour later, the guards chased after them.
All of them turned pale, and they couldn't lift their tired arms when they looked at them.
Zhou Gu didn't sleep deeply, and an hour was considered a small rest, he looked at the secret guards who followed behind him, and then looked at Zhang Yun, and motioned to him, "Brother Zhang Yun, stop." ”
Zhang Yun stopped, turned his head and asked him, "What's wrong?" ”
"Let's talk about it. I remember that there are two ferries on this river, one is the Qihuanshan Ferry and the other is the Dongshui Ferry. Zhou Gu said.
Zhang Yun nodded, "I'm afraid there will be one day more before the ferry port of Qihuan Mountain is here." ”
"Nangong Zheng will definitely send someone to guard these two ferries." Zhou Gu pondered, "I'm afraid we're going to enter the Barrier Poison Forest." ”
On both sides of the Lingshui River are stretches of mountain forests, known as the Barrier Forest, in which animals, plants, and air mist are poisoned by natural geological reasons.
Zhang Yun's face changed: "Isn't this looking for death?" ”
"But if you go ashore from these two ferries, you will also find death." Zhou Gu looked at him, "Do you think that we people who don't enter the obstacle poison forest and face Nangong Zheng hard can have a way to live?" ”
Zhang Yun naturally knew no, and was speechless for a while.
Zhou Gu patted him on the shoulder, curled his lips and smiled, "What are you worried about?" For ordinary people, the Barrier Forest naturally has no entry and exit, and only half a breath can kill people, but for us, we really don't have to worry about it. He reminded Zhang Yun, "Have you forgotten?" Do I have medicine in my hand? Just a few poison barriers, take the poison avoidance pill, and you can walk in the poison barrier forest for three days without falling. ”
Zhang Yun was suddenly overjoyed and patted his head, "Yes, how did I forget, you have a lot of good medicines made for you by the princess in your hand." ”
After he finished speaking, he was a little worried, "However, there are so many of us, even if you have a poison avoidance pill in your hand, it's not enough, right?" ”
"There are dozens, pick dozens of people to take them, and the rest go around on their own." Zhou Gu said: "Although the Barrier Forest is large, it can be completed in three days. ”
"Out of the Barrier Poison Forest, it is Maolin County, which is also the sphere of influence of the Nangong family's side branch." The king of Southern Chu heard it clearly and said a word.
Moreover, Maolin County, far away from the Xiling where they are going, seems to be farther away, and now it is less than two hundred miles to Xiling, if you go around the obstacle forest and go around Maolin County, it is almost another hundred miles more.
It is equivalent to being chased and killed all the way earlier, and walking a hundred miles in vain.
Zhang Yun sighed, now he is out of Longtan and into the tiger's den, but he really has no way to go, he admires Nangong Zheng, at a young age, he forced them to this job.
Zhou Gu also sighed, pondered for a while, and said to the king of Nanchu: "Father-in-law, why don't we give up going to Xiling?" Your soldiers and horses are still secretly raised! ”
"Huh?" The king of Nanchu glared at him, why did he have the intention of giving up? Isn't it time to persevere to the end, and you can definitely get there? Didn't you brag to him earlier, saying that it would definitely work? And there are only three hundred miles left.
"Now it is 200 miles of land, if you get out of the barrier forest and go around Maolin County, it will become 300 miles, whether it is 200 miles or 300 miles, this section of the road is as difficult as climbing to the sky." Zhou Gu rubbed his eyebrows, planning to go to the end without a single tendon, he said: "Nangong Zheng must hurry up and lead people to the front to intercept us, when the time comes, once we meet him head-on, there will be no good fruit to eat, I am afraid that my life will be given to him, even if I don't meet him head-on, there is nowhere to hide, the power of the Nangong family is everywhere, we have nowhere to hide, and in the end, maybe we will really be forced to go to Yuxue Mountain, then we will suffer the death penalty." We can stand it, and neither can you. ”
He promised Ye Guixue that he would protect the king of Nanchu, not to mention that this was his father-in-law, but only to say that the gentleman had to protect him.
The king of Nanchu felt that he might not be able to walk the Jade Snow Mountain, "Maybe I can walk the Snow Mountain." ”
Zhang Yun asked Zhou Gu on the side, "Then how do we go?" Folded back? Going the opposite way with Nangong Zheng? Going back the way you came? ”
"Well, go back the same way, no matter how wise Nangong Zheng is, he is only fourteen years old, let's bully him for being two years younger, and also give him a lesson, tell him, what don't hit the south wall and don't look back, the master doesn't have this rule, since it's the south wall, he won't hit it, let's go back and take the broad road." Zhou Gu felt more and more that this idea was feasible.
"How can you go back and be a good road?" Zhang Yun doesn't think so.
"Turn back and walk towards the border of Daliang, why isn't it a broad road? Now Nangong Zheng is afraid that the forces of the entire Nangong family have been transferred to the direction of Dawei and his side, let's go to the obstacle and poison forest, stagger this wave of people, and then turn back, it is estimated that there will be no killers on the road, isn't it Kangzhuang Avenue? Zhou Gu raised his eyebrows.
Zhang Yun also raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Okay, just do it." ”
He suddenly had strength again, the dead end can't go through, so he won't go, everyone is a living person, why do you want to take the road of the dead?
The king of Nanchu couldn't say anything, "So, we tossed and walked such a way, and we walked in vain?" ”
"Don't go in vain, didn't Nangong send out his grandson when he introduced that old thing? It shows that there is no more useful person in the Nangong family. Zhou Gu touched his chin and pondered, "Maybe there are not many people around the old thing in the royal capital Nangong, if you go to kill him at this time, it will be too good." ”
Zhang Yun also felt reasonable, "There is also King Liu'an, it is estimated that he has already sent out his own secret guards, but unfortunately, at this time, we are thousands of miles away, and we can't kill them." ”
"Not really." Zhou Gu sighed.
King of Southern Chu: "......"
These two people even wanted to assassinate Nangong Yin and King Liu'an.
"Go, paddle to the shore, go into the Barrier Forest, and turn back." Zhou Gu stood up and beckoned to the secret guard behind him, and after An Jiu and Yin Dong approached, he ordered, "Leave fifty people behind, follow us, and the rest of the people will think about it, turn back the same way, and ten days later, Yanlin County will be in harmony." But after ten days, when they do not wait for us, they will hide themselves and answer the call. ”
An Jiu looked at the king of Southern Chu and wanted to say, fifty people is not enough to protect the king.
The king of Nanchu waved his hand, "Listen to the prince of Thursday." ”
Even if he listens, the dark guard will naturally listen too. After all, there is no better way than what Zhou Gu discussed with Zhang Yun now.
An Jiu should have lowered his head, Yin Dong saw that An Jiu should have responded, and he had no opinion, and he should have also lowered his head.
So, the two of them ordered fifty outstanding secret guards, and the rest were sent back, and everyone followed Zhou Gu to take one pill of anti-poison pills, two bottles of anti-poison pills for a total of sixty, and after all of them were taken, there were still a few left, which Zhou Gu deliberately left for later use.
After the group finished taking the poison avoidance pill, Zhou Gu decisively led people to the shore and entered the poison barrier forest of the dense fog and fog.
