After chasing north for three days, the Night Terror Hall and his party came to the foot of Huangming Mountain again.

Although there has been water to guide them along the way, there is no shortage of drinking water, but running in the yellow sand desert for three days still makes a few people with good martial arts feel a little tired.

And the hardest of them is the working birds.

The bird was already fat and strong, and he could only hide in the basket and paralyze during the day, and when it was cool at night, he couldn't rest, so he had to go to work immediately and go to the desert to find the whereabouts of Li Si and others.

Although the bird's detection ability is outstanding, and the desert is not covered, as long as there are people within a radius of hundreds of miles, they will definitely be able to find it, but Huang Liansheng is far more familiar with the geographical environment of the desert than Shui'er, and his anti-tracking ability is extremely strong.

A group of people bent left and right in the desert, never stayed in one place for more than two quarters of an hour, the wind and sand would cover the footprints, and the night terror hall had no vision blind pursuit, basically walked a section, and had to let the bird go out to investigate, and before they could catch up to the place where they stayed, Huang Liansheng and the others ran again.

After chasing for a few days like this, seeing the foot of Huangming Mountain, the Night Terror Hall was inevitably a little worried, raised his eyes to look at the majestic mountains, and frowned:

"It looks like you've entered the mountain, and there must be canyons and caves in the mountains, which are easy to hide, and I'm afraid it's hard to chase them next."

Although Hua Qingzhi has been lying on the back of the night terror, she has not walked, and she can still blow the wind, but she is in the scorching sun every day, and she is almost dazed at the moment, and her original dignified and elegant demeanor has not been maintained, and she untied her neckline to ventilate a little, and asked:

"What's on the other side of the mountain?"

Fan Qinghe put down the green beads, held the water bladder in his hand and explained:

"Judging from the distance, this place has reached the west of the Heavenly Candle Peak, and I haven't been here, I don't know how far it is from the Heavenly Candle Peak. Li Si, if they don't go back to Shatuobu, what are they going to do here? ”

Xuanji Zhenren was carrying the birdcage, and there was a little doubt in his eyes.

After all, since the day before yesterday, the place where a few people walked has been a complete no-man's land, and the Huangming Mountains in the east, the further north it goes, the wider it is, and when they get here, the horizontal distance is more than 300 miles, and it is full of steep mountains, isolating the desert and grassland, and it is not a place where ordinary people can set foot at all.

With the strength of Huang Liansheng, Hua Junchen and others, it is not difficult to cross the three-hundred-mile mountain range, but if the four of them want to go back to the Xihai Tribes, they should turn around two days ago, and they can't go around so far, and they also turn to the most difficult place to walk.

After pondering for a moment, Xuanji Zhenren asked:

"Huang Liansheng came here, could it be that he wanted to go over the mountains and mountains to deal with the Wuma Department?"

Fan Qinghe pondered: "The big village of the Wuma Department is on the other side of Huangming Mountain, judging from the distance, it should be nearby after Huangming Mountain." But there are tens of thousands of people from the Wuma tribe living there, and even if Huang Liansheng goes, he will kill a few times at most and kill a few hundred people, this move has no other meaning except to provoke the Wuma tribe, I don't feel like ......"

Night Terror Hall felt that what Qing He said made some sense, although the peak martial arts were powerful, no matter how powerful they were, they couldn't change the limitations of going it alone.

This is like him, it is not difficult for him to ride alone to kill a martial saint, but let him catch tens of thousands of women, children, old and young who are scurrying around, he can't finish running his legs, and if he wants to occupy an area, he still has to rely on a large number of soldiers to station.

Thinking of this, Night Terror asked:

"Are there any people from other tribes in the mountains?"

Fan Qinghe shook his head and said: "If you can live in it, the people of the Wuma Department have already settled in it, and I believe that there are one or two people living in seclusion, but there are definitely no villages, and there are not many birds and beasts in the mountains, so they can't feed much population at all." ”

Night Terror nodded, and after a little thought, he headed for the mountains:

"Li Si, they won't come here for no reason, let the bird look for it first, if they can't find it, let's go to the Wuma Department. In case Li Si temporarily changed his mind and went to lobby the Wuma Department, it would also be a troublesome matter. ”

Seeing this, Xuanji Zhenren lifted the basket in his hand:

"Huh?"

"Twitter......"

Although the bird was listless, it was not slow, and it spread its wings and flew towards the steep mountains, disappearing from view in an instant.

Hua Qingzhi was lying on the back of the Night Terror Hall, and when she saw that she was going to carry her up the mountain again, she couldn't help but be ashamed and said:

"It seems that it was a good thing that my father let me practice martial arts back then, and I have read so many books, but I have only now found out that there is not a single bird that has been used."

Xuanji Zhenren and Hua Qingzhi got along for a few days, and when the relationship became familiar, they naturally let go, walked behind them, and patted Hua Qingzhi's perfect buttocks:

"You can't say that, if you really want to help the Night Terrors, it's not like there's no other way."

"Huh?"

Hua Qingzhi was bent by the night terrors, and was slapped at the back of her waist and had nowhere to hide, her face turned back with a slight red.

"Sister Lu, you ......"

Fan Qinghe pulled the green bead and walked up the mountain, saying to this:

"She's like that, leave her alone."

Hua Qingzhi's brain is not stupid, and she has been together day and night for so many days, in fact, she can also see that the relationship between the queen and the night prince seems to be unusual, and she does not shy away from anything.

But she really didn't dare to ask about such an immoral matter, so she bowed her head and didn't speak......

——

On the other side, under the mountains.

A natural karst cave about several zhang wide stretches through the mountains, and there is groundwater flowing through the cave, making a slight sound of rattling.

Hua Junchen carried a sword, walked unhurriedly in the cave, holding a torch in his hand, and through the dim light, he could see that although the cave was naturally formed, there were traces of artificial excavation in the narrow or large drop area.

Although Li Si knows some punches and kicks, he is a civil official after all, and he is almost tired after running around for days, his face is slightly yellow, and he can only be carried forward by Xu Tianying. But after coming to the cave, Li Si's eyes were still energetic, and he looked left and right at the chisel marks in the cave:

"This is the way the First Emperor transported his troops?"

Huang Liansheng walked at the forefront, unhurried:

"That's right, these stone stairs were dug two thousand years ago, and there should have been some wooden bridges, but they have turned to ashes after a long period of disrepair, and I have only rebuilt them over the years."

Although Hua Junchen is a child of a family, he has been martial since he was a child, and he is far inferior to his daughter in literature, and he still understands modern history, but he has only heard the name of an ancient emperor like the First Emperor, and when he heard the words, he asked:

"Do you mean that the First Emperor took this path back then and pacified the world?"

As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Li Si naturally cherished his own history, and seeing that Hua Junchen didn't even know this, he opened his mouth to tell Hua Junchen about history:

"According to historical records, the first emperor was born in Liangchuan, Shanxi, with the body of cloth, with forty warriors to start, called the queen's country name 'Liang', this is the origin of my dynasty name and Liangzhou place name.

"After pacifying Shanxi, the situation in the world at that time was dominated by the four countries, except for the Liang State, the remaining three were Dong Ming, the ancestor of the Xuanhao Department Li Guo, the ancestor Chen State of the Gou Chen Department, and the ancestor of the Wuma Department Wolf Rong.

"Although the first emperor unified Shanxi, but was blocked by the wolf cavalry outside the Huangming Mountain can not enter the Central Plains, and finally has the help of the woodcutter, only to find a military road in the north of the Huangming Mountain, with the army to the Huangming Mountain, directly take the country of Li, known as the 'Heavenly Soldier Attack Li'.

"The return of the Li State was not too late to be destroyed, and the other two countries did not last for a few years, and the first emperor ruled the world and became the first emperor in history.

"After the unification of the world, the heirs of the first emperor and the founding heroes of the country were all feuded. My ancestor of the Li family was sealed in the southeast with fertile pastures, and the country name was 'Yan', which is also the source of Yanzhou and 'Yanjing' in the Southern Dynasty.

"And the royal families, captives, and criminals of the small countries that were destroyed in the war were sent to the wild land south of Yashan, and the more serious the crime, the farther they were distributed.

"The emperors of the Southern Dynasty are surnamed Dongfang, because their ancestors are criminals, and they were assigned to the easternmost part of southern Xinjiang, and they do not have a surname at all, and the historians usually write 'Dongfang, someone, catch a hundred-year-old turtle, and pay tribute to the emperor'......"

Hua Junchen walked in this kind of historical monument, and when he heard these explanations, he really had a feeling of vicissitudes, and he thought about it and said:

"South of Yashan, it's Yunze Erzhou, right? Is this also considered distribution? ”

Li Si sighed helplessly: "In ancient times, it was the Gobi Desert where no grass grows, who would have thought that a few generations after the first emperor, the Central Plains at that time suffered a major earthquake, resulting in great changes in the mountains and rivers, the west of Huangming Mountain directly cut off the water source, and the east of Tianlang Lake and Yunmengze appeared.

After this earthquake, the Liang Dynasty built by the first emperor quickly fell apart, and the world became a struggle for hegemony among the countries.

"This split, lasted for nearly 800 years, although the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the West Sea often appeared overlords, but no one can dominate the world, until 1,200 years ago, the southeast of Wu appeared a hero, quickly annexed the south, divided out the 12 states of the Southern Dynasty today, built the capital Yun'an, and then led the Northern Expedition, completely unified the world, known as 'Wu Taizu'.

As soon as Wu Taizu left, the Xihai tribes rebelled and established the country, and then the east of the lake was also out of the control of the Southern Dynasties, and once again turned into a three-legged stand.

"With the change of time, the environment in the northwest continued to deteriorate, and it was gradually annexed by the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and became countless small tribes that worked independently; The two dynasties of the north and south are getting stronger and stronger, and although the dynasties have changed with each other, there has never been a male ...... who can dominate the world."

After listening quietly, Hua Junchen sighed:

"In this way, a thousand years have passed since the last unification, and it is time for a male lord to appear who dominates the world."

Li Si nodded: "In the past, the First Emperor took this military path 'Heavenly Soldiers to Defeat Li' and completely unified the world. And now, if our dynasty can use this military route again to completely reverse the situation in the West Sea and defeat the southern dynasty, then it will be a matter of time before we can dominate the world again......"

A few people chatted like this, and before they knew it, they went deeper than ten miles, and in the originally silent cave, there was also noise and fireworks.

Li Si stopped talking, got off Xu Tianying's back, and followed Huang Liansheng forward, until he turned the corner, and the cave in front of him became wider.

In the cave, a lot of torches are lit, and you can see dense men sitting on the ground with weapons, talking to each other or resting, because the cave is long and narrow, and it is almost impossible to see the end from the entrance.

And after discovering that someone was coming from the entrance of the cave, the nearest soldier hurriedly got up and bowed:

"Chief!"

Huhulala......

And the soldiers in the depths of the cave also quickly got up, and the inside of the cave fell silent.

Li Si saw this strange soldier hidden in the deep mountains, and finally put down the stone in his heart, and asked:

"These are the warriors of your tribe?"

Huang Liansheng did not respond to this nonsense, and stood at the entrance of the cave and waited.

Soon, a burly shirtless man hurriedly ran over and bowed in front of Huang Liansheng:

"Chief, we've been waiting here for half a month, and if the food is almost gone, we won't even be able to go back home......

Huang Liansheng raised his hand slightly, stopped the words of his subordinates, and then looked at Li Si:

"This is Chu Yuanqi, a general under Huang. Master Li also saw that the eight thousand warriors present only had dry food and blades with them, and in order to hurry, even the general was unarmed, if he went out from here, he didn't see the grain, grass and ordnance sent by the Gui Dynasty......"

Li Si hurriedly bowed his hand: "Rest assured, the transportation of grain, grass and ordnance was personally arranged by Li, and the team will pass through the north of the Wuma Department, where there is a horse farm controlled by our dynasty." As long as General Chu sets off now and emerges from the vicinity of Wumabu, he can immediately send a message to them to change their route, and they can be sent to the foot of Huangming Mountain in three days at most. However, this is a surprise attack, and General Chu must first take down the lair of the Wuma Department before he can receive the grain and grass......"

Chu Yuanqi opened his mouth and said: "I have sent someone to explore the mountain, the witch horse department is full of women, children, old and young, and the city defense is also in front, I never thought that there would be people behind the natural danger, even if there is no armored horse, we can take it without much effort." ”

"That's good. Grain, grass and ordnance will inevitably be delivered, even if it is only a quarter of an hour late, I, Li Si, will also make amends to the soldiers on the spot. ”

Huang Liansheng had already studied the situation in Beiliang, Xihai and other places, and knew that it was no problem for Beiliang to deliver grain, grass and ordnance, even if there was a problem, as long as he caught the clansmen of the Wuma tribe, he could stalemate for a long time, and he could wait for Beiliang to come to help, so he raised his hand and said:

"Let's go. Master Li can go with the army, and Huang will arrive later. ”

Li Si nodded, but immediately wondered:

"Leader Huang won't go with you?"

Huang Liansheng stretched out his right hand: "Your country's elixir can make people reborn, if Huang's skills can go further, he can be more comfortable in the night terrors." ”

Li Sicai remembered this stubble and looked at Hua Junchen next to him.

Hua Junchen has been carrying the pill for the past few days, and he hesitated a little when he saw this:

"Although this medicine is good, but it needs to be retreated for more than ten days, and the grain, grass and ordnance can arrive in six or seven days, and Leader Huang is in retreat at this time, I am afraid that it will delay the fighter."

Huang Liansheng said: "Your country's elixir pharmacology, Master Li, has already said that I have my own secret method to resist its medicinal properties, and I can come over in three days at most." ”

"Three days?"

Hua Junchen didn't believe it a little, after all, the medicinal properties of the elixir were extremely strong, and even Xiang Hanshi had to absorb it slowly, and those who dared to swallow dates in the world were afraid that the only one who had eaten too much and already had drug resistance was the Night Terror.

But this thing was originally given by the imperial court, and Hua Junchen couldn't make an excuse not to give it at the moment, so after hesitating for a moment, he took out a small box from his waist and handed it to Huang Liansheng:

"During the retreat, my body and qi were full of holes, and I didn't have half of my combat strength. For the sake of safety, Tian and I should be on the side to protect Leader Huang......"

Huang Liansheng said: "I don't know the two of you well, for the sake of safety, it's better to hide in a place where no one knows." ”

“……”

Hua Junchen actually wanted to avoid Li Si and find an opportunity to do Huang Liansheng, so that after saying that Huang Liansheng failed to rush through the pass, Li Si couldn't blame him for his unfavorable guards and complained to the imperial court.

At this time, seeing that Huang Liansheng was extremely vigilant, he didn't want them to protect at all, and Hua Junchen couldn't find an excuse to stay in front of him, so he could only nod at the moment.

And Xu Tianying is just a half-martial artist, who is not good at fighting head-on, and has no confidence to deal with Huang Liansheng; And even if he did it at this time, in order not to be implicated in the family, Hua Junchen could only stand on Li Si's side to help clean him up, not to mention that there were 8,000 elite soldiers standing next to him.

In the case that he had no chance of winning alone, Xu Tianying could only 'believe in the wisdom of the Night Great Yama King' at this moment, and silently followed Li Si and the others away.

And Huang Liansheng held the pill in his hand and stood in place to watch, until everyone disappeared from sight, and then silently disappeared into the depths of the dim cave......

——

Two days later.

Whew-

In the middle of the night, a biting cold wind howled over the mountains.

On the steep slope on the west side of Tianzhu Peak, Night Terror Hall was naked, hugging Hua Qingzhi's legs, rising and falling left and right and climbing up unhurriedly.

And Hua Qingzhi, who was still hot in the desert and pulled her collar, understood what the two heavens of ice and fire were at this moment, wrapped the robe of the Night Terror Hall tightly around her body, and hugged the neck of the Night Terror Hall with her hands, but basically so, she was still shivering slightly from the cold.

Lu Zhu was put in the middle by Qing He and Xuanji, relying on the bodies of the two to keep warm, and said tremblingly:

"It's hot in the desert, why is it so cold in the mountains? It feels like it's hard to inhale......"

Night Terror raised his eyes to the nearby ridge and comforted:

"The higher the mountain, the colder it gets, and it's night, it's normal, just wait until you cross the ridge and go west."

Fan Qinghe ran for a long time, and it was inevitable that he was a little out of breath, raised his eyes to look at the birds who were still dutifully hovering in the sky, and said:

"I've been looking for two days, and after crossing the Tianzhu Mountain, I arrived at the Dazhai of the Wuma Department, Li Si, and they have not been able to go underground?"

Xuanji Zhenren looked back at the mountains and sighed lightly:

"It is estimated that it is really drilled underground, and four big living people, as long as they walk in the mountains, it is impossible for them to leak."

"Do you mean you're lost?"

"Almost."

……

Night Terror climbed to the top of the ridge, stopped to take a breath, looked out by the moonlight, and sure enough, found that more than twenty miles away, there was a plain, and there were many lights on it, thinking about it, he said:

"Let's go to the Wuma Department first, if Li Si doesn't go there, they will rest in the Wuma Department, Shui'er and I will go to the Shatuo Department to raise Huang Liansheng's nest, without soldiers and horses, he is just an ordinary martial artist, don't worry."

Hua Qingzhi has been tossed by the high-intensity wind and food for several days, and she has been a little unable to stand it, and now she misses the quilt very much, and at this time, seeing that she is finally about to get up, she raised her cheeks and said:

"It's me who dragged Childe down, if it weren't for me and Luzhu, I should have caught up with ...... a long time ago"

"You are eighty or ninety pounds, not as heavy as Junshan's knife, where will it be dragged down, it is Huang Liansheng who is too cunning, don't worry, they can't run away, and Uncle Hua will be fine."

After a word of comfort, Night Terror Hall walked down the mountain wall, up and down along the way, much faster.

Although Xuanji Zhenren has been running around for nearly ten years, he has always combined work and rest, resting when he is tired, and continuing to rush after resting, never staying up and forcing the army.

And this time, it started high-intensity tracking from Honghe Town, chased all the way to the Xihai Protectorate, and then chased from the Xihai Protectorate to the Duolan Valley, and then went out of the customs to cross the desert, and then went north over the mountains and mountains, and hardly rested for more than ten days.

"Does the Witch Horse Department have any good wine? Better to have another hot spring ......"

Fan Qinghe was holding green beads together, looking at the lights under the mountain, and his eyes were tired:

"There is no hot spring, but the hot water is good enough for the wine, and after washing, I will prepare a big bed for you and make you comfortable to death."

Xuanji Zhenren would rather be and cry by the Night Terror Hall than continue to wander around this ghost place, so he nodded and said:

"Yes, quite sensible."

Fan Qinghe's eyes were cold.

Night Terror walked in front, and when he heard his daughter-in-law start to discuss how to reward him, his heart was actually a little like an arrow.

But just as the group was hurrying down the mountain, ready to rush to the Wuma Department in one go, the birds, who had been silent in the sky for two days, suddenly reacted and circled in the sky.

？

Night Terror Hall had already relaxed its footsteps and did not hide it anymore, but when he noticed this movement, he immediately stopped on the mountain wall, hid beside the cliff, and raised his eyes to look.

Xuanji Zhenren and Fan Qinghe, although their hearts had already drifted to the point where they would intrigue on the bed, their vigilance was not low, and when they found the abnormality, they immediately lowered their figures, leaned in front of the Night Terror Hall, and asked:

"Found Li Si and them?"

Night Terror looked at the trajectory drawn by the bird in the sky, looked down at the bottom of the mountain, and nodded:

"Northeast, ten miles."

Fan Qinghe raised his eyes and found that ten miles away from the northeast, there was a horse pen built by the Wuma Department against the mountain, which raised the lifeblood stallion of the Wuma Department, and next to it was Dazhai. She wondered:

"Li Si, they have come all the way here, they can't be preparing to steal the horse king of the witch horse department, right?"

The horse king of the head of the Wuma tribe, who had been riding for a few days in the Night Terror Hall, was indeed a cloudless horse, and he was greedy when he saw it.

But the leader of the Shatuo tribe, the minister of the United Northern Liang, came all the way to steal a horse, which sounded too bizarre, and he thought about it:

"It doesn't matter what he wants to do, I don't want to do it, let's touch it from behind and see the situation first."

Seeing this, Xuanji Zhenren and Fan Qinghe didn't say much, and immediately followed the guidance of the birds, and silently touched the northeast along the mountain wall......
