Chapter 6: How bizarre human nature is
Yang Ming, who had found some money and a complete set of equipment from several corpses, walked away to Taihang Mountain.
He didn't know how determined Snow Maiden's vicious mother was to destroy her mouth, but he didn't dare to gamble, because it was his own life, and all he could do now was be cautious.
And Taihang Mountain is his last choice.
Now the heavy snow covers half of the Zhao country, Taihang Mountain is an absolute forbidden place, Taihang Mountain is already in danger, not to mention that it is under the snow cover, so that the road that is almost non-existent is hidden under the snow, and it is difficult for humans and beasts to walk, only birds can move freely.
"Anyway, go ahead and hide in Taihang Mountain for a few days, and as for the rest, think about it again." Yang Ming thought about it and quickly walked towards Taihang Mountain.
If he hadn't followed his father into Taihang Mountain to hunt since he was a child, he really didn't dare to enter Taihang Mountain at this time.
Until noon, Yang Ming had already entered Taihang Mountain.
He was fortunate that there were no more ambushes along the way, and there were no pursuers chasing him, but he was also unlucky, because he was not the only one who wanted to escape into Taihang Mountain at this time.
At the only entrance to Taihang Mountain, Yang Ming looked at the horse that appeared in front of him, and the trace of relief on his face had already solidified.
That ride, Yang Ming is no stranger, the old man on the horse is the old housekeeper of the Zhao manor, as for the girl who was wrapped in a layer of soft armor by the old man, Yang Ming has also seen it.
But this is not the key, the key is that not far behind, there are dozens of horses galloping, obviously for the old man and the snow girl.
An old man and a young person, who knew each other at a glance, saw the accident in each other's eyes, but at this time, none of them cared about anyone, and rushed straight to the trail between the mountains.
Using his bow as a staff, Yang Ming walked cautiously on the snow-covered path, one side of which was a towering mountain, and the other side was a cliff that grew deeper and deeper as he went deeper, a path that was used by nearby hunters to hunt in the mountains.
Walking on such a trail, it can be said that if you are not careful, you are in danger of falling off a cliff, especially when the snow is closing the road.
"Little brother, in this mountain, one wrong step is the power of the cliff, how about you and me?" The old man followed closely behind Yang Ming and said with a solemn expression.
What responded to the old man was only Yang Ming's silence, he didn't know how the young Snow Girl had survived the current killing machine, and how she had become the dancing girl in the future in the land of Yan Zhao, he only knew that there must be murderous opportunities among them.
Now he doesn't want to have any connection with Little Snow Girl, because she herself represents danger, and here, he is a real person, and he only has one life, and no one can give him a second chance.
Therefore, in the face of the old man's invitation, Yang Ming's response was only silence.
Approaching dusk, Yang Ming finally entered the mountain, which was temporarily safe.
"I know you, your name is Yang Ming, and your father and I were friends when he was alive." The old man who had been following Yang Ming put down the little snow girl from his arms and stared at Yang Mingdao, who was digging a snow nest in the snow.
"I have never heard my deceased father speak of Your Excellency when he was alive." Yang Ming said.
Although he didn't know the real purpose of why the old man had a relationship with him, he could also think that there must be something in it, and what could he plot?
"It's normal, your father has always been ashamed of his identity, how could he tell you that he has a friend of the Zhao people." The old man said slowly.
Just this sentence was enough to make Yang Ming believe what the old man said, but Yang Ming did not respond in the slightest.
"Little brother, how about we discuss something?" The old man saw that Yang Ming did not answer, but he did not see the slightest annoyance, but had a trace of imperceptible satisfaction, because of Yang Ming's caution.
And Yang Ming was still just busy with his own business, and in the blink of an eye, a snow nest that could be used to spend the night had slowly taken shape under his hands.
"Since she has made up her mind to erase her traces, she will not give up halfway, leaving behind trouble, although we can escape the pursuit of the army by escaping into the mountains, this does not mean that it is safe, and it will even become more dangerous." The old man said.
"Next, we have to face a killer group that may be a professional, and in this vast Taihang, we may not be able to escape in the face of the killer group."
"It's you, not me." Yang Ming corrected.
He knew that what the old man said was not wrong, although Taihang Mountain could block Zhao Jun's pursuit, but he couldn't get rid of the tracking of the top killer, but Yang Ming also had luck, he didn't think that the future Zhao Zhanhou would hire an expensive professional killer for herself, she had the energy and preferred to put it on Xiaoxue Nu.
"It's possible that you're talking about the situation, but are you really going to gamble with your life? Besides, if I follow you all the time, do you think you can stay out of it? The old man smiled maliciously as he spoke.
Yang Ming's face had become a little ugly, and he had even shown a murderous aura, the old man was threatening, and he really couldn't help but care about his threat.
"So, let's have a discussion, you take me to protect Miss and send her to General Li Mu in Yanmen County, the old lady has a number of properties in Yanmen County, after you send Miss to Yanmen County, you can withdraw fifty percent from that property, about three thousand gold, and I will lead the killer chasing soldiers for you." The old man said his conditions and chips.
"Are you sure to lure all the killers away?" Yang Ming's expression moved, and he took the initiative to ask, as for the three thousand gold, of course, it was within his consideration.
Money may not be important to Yang Ming, but no money is important to Yang Ming.
"Yes, I took the initiative to expose it and give them this human head of mine, what are they not satisfied with." The old man said, his tone was so calm that it seemed that the human head he was talking about did not belong to him.
"What about her? It seems a little unreasonable not to see her little head, right? Yang Ming pointed to the sleeping little snow girl in the old man's arms.
"I'll buy a girl of the same age as Miss from the hunter in the mountains, and I'll go to Fukou, where I'll be caught." The old man said.
This is a cunning and cold-blooded person, who ignores his own life, and even more disregards the lives of others, such a person is difficult to understand with Yang Ming's thinking, but in this era, such a person is an extremely normal existence.
The unique culture of this era has created many people like the old man.
"Okay." Yang Ming thought for a while and had already agreed to the old man's conditions.
Although the old man was very scoundrel and did not lack cruelty to himself and others, the plan he said was highly executable, so Yang Ming was willing to cooperate with him.
"You take the young lady on a journey before the night falls completely, so that after a night you can completely hide your tracks, which will only leave my tracks." The old man handed the sleeping Snow Girl to Yang Mingdao.
"I said ······" Yang Ming said.
"That's it, this is the best option right now, this snow nest you dug is very good." The old man interrupted Yang Ming's words.
"Hurry up." The old man blocked Yang Ming's words.
"I mean, when you set off tomorrow morning, you'd better pay attention to the footprints you left behind, there is still a difference between carrying the footprints left by a person and the footprints left by a person." Yang Ming said.
The old man's face couldn't help but stiffen, he didn't expect that what Yang Ming was going to say turned out to be these, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.
And Yang Ming had already left with the Snow Girl in his arms, taking advantage of the afterglow of dusk.
