Volume 1 The Rebirth of the Hidden Dragon Chapter 253 The Gatekeeper
Whoever sells man as an animal, and who can do such a thing is not worthy to be called a man, is no different from an animal.
Plantagenet's request was for Wanyan Duxue to help her destroy an underground black market specializing in intermediate slave trading, and this black market was so powerful that they alone could not shake it.
And Wanyan Duxue's ability Plantagenet has seen it, so she will make a deal with her in exchange for this.
Wanyan Duxue said: "There is such a place in the world, in fact, I don't need you to say it, I will definitely eradicate it completely, but I am not enough to do this alone, but I can assure you that as long as you help me find the water source between the rivers, I can swear to heaven that I will destroy that evil stronghold." ”
Plantagenet also knew that she couldn't be left alone to eradicate the black market, so she agreed to give her time to prepare, and set a sign to meet with the river, and after talking, she disappeared into the night with the bandits.
Wanyan Duxue looked at the seven Beihun girls in the camp and said, "You guys come with me first, and I will find someone to send you back to the grassland." ”
Several Hun girls said earnestly: "Our people have been killed, the pasture is gone, a few of us went out to graze to escape the catastrophe, if we go back and be caught again, we can only be other people's slaves, do we want to follow you." ”
It was not uncommon for small tribes on the steppes to be annexed, and men taller than the wheels were killed, while women and children were given to the warriors as slaves.
"Whichever tribe are you, I can send you to the tribe with which I am friendly, and you will not be treated as slaves." Wanyan Duxue thought in her heart that she would take them to the beggar tribe and become a herdsman, so that she would be slaves.
"Duo Deer Ministry." Several Northern Hungarian girls said timidly.
Wanyan Duxue was speechless for a while, although the destruction of the Duolu Department was self-inflicted, but after all, this matter had a great relationship with Yun Hao, and what Yun Hao did was no different from what he did.
"Since you have nowhere to go now, follow me first, and bring those traffickers with me." Before she could figure out how to arrange them, she could only take them back to the barracks before discussing.

The thirteen peaks of Yin Mountain, the first peak
There are two people walking up with the help of the plank road on the cliff, looking at the deep cliff under their feet, and the narrow plank road in front of them that can only be walked sideways, Yun Hao sighed again and again, when is this the head.
But Shangguan Luoyi, who walked in front of him, did not complain, it was already good to have a plank road, and when he climbed Qianren Peak before, he could only rely on ropes to fix his body, compared to which this place can be described as comfortable.
The literati seem to be full of enthusiasm for climbing the heights, and I don't know whether they like the feeling of ascending to the immortals, or whether they are looking for the pleasure of making the earth surrender under their feet.
But Yun Hao is not so leisurely, the reason why he wants to climb this first peak is because he sees that the time agreed with Wan Yan Duxue is approaching, and he has not yet come up with any practical and effective way to induce the main force of Northern Hungary to fight, and there has been no movement since the last time the Northern Hungarian attack camp was made, so he took time out to climb to see if he could find a way.
The first peak is adjacent to the river, although it is not a peak, but it can also get a good view, which is very suitable for observing the battle situation, and I heard that the person in charge of the first beacon is still a legendary person, since there is a number one person, it is natural to meet it.
The beacon towers of the other twelve peaks are all soldiers in a group of four, and they will rotate regularly every month, one is that the peak is lonely and has a limited range of activities, and people will not be able to stand it and go crazy after staying for a long time, and they will be replaced to rest regardless of whether they can hold on or not.
But this is not the case with the first peak, there is a soldier who has not come down for more than forty years since he went up to the peak, and there is a special feature of this man that he does not need to sleep, and is awake as usual for twelve hours a day, is there a more suitable person to be an observer?
In the beginning, of course, this soldier could not always stay on the mountain, others only thought that he was being reckless, and later even wanted to force him down the mountain, but he would always try his best to go back to the mountain again, and be on duty with the four people who changed shifts, and over time others got used to it, and they all called him the 'fifth sentry' of the watchtower.
One year, there was a sudden heavy snowfall, and the sentry who changed shifts was unable to go up the mountain because the plank road was crushed by the heavy snow, and the sentry on the mountain had already gone down the mountain before the heavy snow, but fortunately, the 'fifth sentry' stayed on the mountain, so as not to empty the first beacon
Fire Stand.
Just a few days after the heavy snow closed the mountain, the garrison under the mountain suddenly found that the beacon tower of the first peak was burning with wolf smoke、、、
Northern Hungarian raid!
That night, all the soldiers and civilians of Fengzhou resisted the invasion of the Northern Hungarians, defeated the Northern Hungarians one after another, and finally had to settle the consequences of the invasion in a friendly way.
And the veteran on the first peak became a legend, and for decades after that, he was a staunch guardian of Fengzhou, and as long as he was still there, people could sleep peacefully, so they all nicknamed him 'The Gatekeeper'.
······
After two hours of climbing, Yun Hao and Shangguan Luoyi finally reached the top of the first peak, before they had time to see the scenery under the mountain, Shangguan Luoyi was first attracted by a wheel on the edge of the mountain, she knew that this was originally a lifting device pressed on the well, and it appeared here to prevent the heavy snow from closing the mountain, in addition to being used to transport some materials, it can also be used for people to take turns to escape.
There is not much open space on the first peak, only a stocky beacon occupies most of it, it looks like a large square brick, the beacon tower is not used to live people, but to pile up the dried animal manure, if there is an enemy situation, ignite the manure and raise a thick smoke to warn.
The sentries here live in a makeshift hut and take turns observing the situation down the hill at the observation post.
The four sentries stationed here were very strange when they saw someone going up to the peak, but when they saw the seal of the Zhenbei Army Marshal shown by Shangguan Luoyi, they saluted Yun Hao one after another.
After Yun Hao said hello, he walked towards the outpost at the highest point of the mountain, and saw a legendary figure in a small pergola, this person is already in the age of the sixtieth year but is still tough, people like this have long looked down on life and death, let alone fame and fortune, so even if he knows Yun Hao's identity, he still looks the same, only focusing on observing the situation in the distance.
"I heard that you never sleep, I don't know if it's true or not." Yun Hao asked.
The janitor replied, "I can't sleep." ”
This answer is very interesting, the same old man Jiang Wuya sleeps all day, if he says this, there may be some artistic conception, but the janitor is not like to say those who are yes and not pretend to be profound.
