In such a wild place, Milan is still full of spirit.

Those Jianghu characters willingly listened to her command and marched into the depths of the mountain col.

"Ye Tian, the Eight Sages King is worried that you will be unable to deal with it alone, and after you succeed, you will hand over all the information to the Ninth Princess, and it will be meaningless."

Milan wore a camouflage mountaineering suit, cowhide boots, daggers and a short gun hanging from his belt, and his delicate appearance in the capital was swept away.

I can feel that the Eight Sages King is determined to win the Twelve Heavenly Officials.

If he suspected that the continuous changes that had taken place in the capital were made by the Twelve Heavenly Officials, he would definitely sweep Lingnan and reorganize the rivers and lakes.

According to the map, from the mountain pass to the village of the twelve heavenly officials, it is about 220 kilometers.

If you walk at a speed of five kilometers per hour and march for eight hours a day, it will take you five days to reach the cottage.

"Ye Tian, I deliberately didn't call a large means of transportation, just to surprise and attack it unprepared."

I rarely respond to Milan's words, everything is speculation at the moment, there is no real meaning.

On the surface, her arrival will ease my burden, and I will not be left alone to face the threat of the Twelve Heavenly Officials.

At the same time, she can contact the Eight Sages King at any time to mobilize other Jianghu forces to save the defeat.

I haven't reported the current situation to Ma Guifei, everything is up to Milan.

"Ye Tian, you are more silent than when you were in the capital, this is not a good phenomenon, since we are on the road together, we have to communicate closely. Now I have the final say here, when you report to Ma Guifei, you have to get my permission. ”

I nodded silently and didn't raise any objections.

Since Milan wants to take the lead in creating merit, then give her the opportunity.

Fledgling Jianghu people always attach great importance to rights, and when they have experience in the rivers and lakes, they will understand that the ignorant are fearless, and the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, which is a double-edged sword.

After a long day of marching, the team camped on the mountain ridge to rest.

I took the binoculars and looked into the depths of the col, and there was no end in sight, with strange rocks and jagged trees on both sides, and crows and small squirrels from time to time.

I was relieved to see this little animal, proving that the air and water here are not toxic and can survive safely.

In Lingnan, the most terrible thing is the miasma, when the sun rises, the saliva of various poisonous creatures will be mixed in the miasma and emit outward, and human beings will suddenly fall down when they breathe this poisonous air.

I sat down at the door of the tent to rest, and Milan began to call and report to the Eight Wise Kings.

Their relationship is very close, even if Milan uses a businesslike attitude, but there is always a smile on the corner of the mouth, which is not a relationship between superiors and peers at all.

It's hard for me to figure out who she is from the Eight Sages? With her current talent, everything is in order, which saves me a lot of trouble.

"Lord Wang, of course I understand that this team is Ye Tian's final say, but I have to prove that my experience in the wild life is not lost to anyone......

After dinner, I got into my sleeping bag and got ready for a good rest, there is still a long way to go, and once I enter the deep mountains, the danger increases, and it is difficult to take care of it.

So at this time, everyone sleeps well and stores energy, which is the most important thing.

"Ye Tian, you haven't told me yet, what did Lady Ma tell you to do? It can't be like me, it's also for the arrest of the Twelve Heavenly Officials. ”

I replied truthfully: "Both sides have the same path." ”

Milan laughed: "That can't be, they don't have this vision. is not in his position, he is not in his government, and they are not the Eight Sages King, they are often short-sighted, and they do many things that make people laugh. ”

Now Milan is openly mocking Ma Guifei, and it has nothing to do with me.

In some ways, her way of doing things is somewhat similar to that of the Ninth Princess, the family is dominant, and she never takes others seriously.

These mercenaries are very obedient and they will do whatever Milan commands.

Three of them, who served as night guards, climbed directly into the trees and set up a triangular defensive line.

I vaguely felt that this was a bit risky, after all, this is Lingnan, and the trees are more dangerous.

The team hired three local guides, who gathered together to point to the distance and converse in the local vernacular language, so that no one could hear clearly.

I observed their expressions, often showing a look of fear, as if there was an inexplicable danger hidden in the depths of the mountains.

The Twelve Heavenly Officials were in the Central Plains, and they had such a great reputation, but when they arrived in this place, they became very low-key.

Many local Jianghu people don't think that the Twelve Heavenly Officials are anything remarkable, on the contrary, they respect those Gu refiners, and only Gu refiners are the pride of Lingnan and the master of this jungle.

Milan didn't want to let me go to rest, and kept guarding the door of my tent: "Ye Tian, Concubine Ma Guifei is arbitrary, this time the crisis caused by that painting is not completely over, she will delegate power to the ninth princess and let the ninth princess take the blame." The Eight Sages King saw it clearly, and the fate of Concubine Ma Guifei in the next step would be like the chief manager, and she would be abandoned by the chariot of the times......"

I really hope that Concubine Ma will hear such words, and Milan's remarks will also represent the meaning of the Eight Sages.

Finally, as night fell, everyone got into their tents and lit them up with solar lights.

I opened my laptop and checked the news from the Twelve Heavenly Officials.

They have done so many things before, and they know everything about the past and the present, like electronic computers, which can bring a lot of new inspiration to those in power.

No one can imagine that they will leave the capital, perhaps according to ordinary practice, they should become the national teachers of the capital and solve problems for the country.

In the legends of some Jianghu people, they offended the forces of the Eight Sages King, so they could only leave angrily and could no longer work at the same table.

These people fled to Lingnan to escape the pursuit of the Central Plains.

The Bai Dao figures, led by the Eight Sages King, refused to let them go, and would launch a clean-up operation almost every year, making the people in the depths of the dense forest miserable, but to no avail.

All of these materials accuse the Eight Sages of the King, but there are not many people who really know about it.

On the contrary, I saw that the historical information presented by the Eight Sages King was fair and just, and the matter was explained clearly.

It was just past one o'clock in the morning, and the wind was blowing outside, and the tent was undulating and whirring with the strong wind.

I heard strange noises, coming from the depths of the col, cries, swords and guns, and thunder......

All the sounds were intertwined, and they drifted north over the mountain beam, which should be more than ten miles away.

I couldn't tell what it was, it was miserable and sad.

The three guides got up, knelt down and kowtowed to the depths of the col, begging the mountain god for forgiveness.

In the 21st century, they are still so superstitious, it's ridiculous, and I believe in science more than these ghosts and gods.

Many people got up and continued to kowtow after the three people, as if they were hypnotized......

Milan also got up, entered my tent, and snuggled up to me.

"Ye Tian, this kind of voice is really terrifying, could it be that there are ghosts hidden in the mountains, and they are angry at the moment?"

I smiled and shook my head: "Even if there are ghosts, it is 108,000 miles away from us, and these terrains are not peculiar, just a typical jungle in Lingnan, and there is no need to be afraid at all." ”

She didn't go back to her tent, but stayed with me, and the two of us hugged each other until dawn......

It's a magical experience, two people who have a gap in their hearts, and they quickly become heart-to-heart.

After dawn, I called the three guides and asked them what they had done yesterday in simple sign language and local language.

The mountain gods were already angry, and they didn't want outsiders to go in and disturb them, so they had already issued a warning, and if they went forward again, they would enter the cultivation land of the Twelve Heavenly Officials, and they would probably die without a place to be buried.

The three guides were dark-faced and thin, not like Jianghu people.

I told them that as long as they found a place where the Twelve Heavenly Officials cultivated, they would give them a large bounty, and they didn't have to think about anything else at all, and they could leave after getting the money, and there would be no danger.

I was so generous, and of course they were happy and bowed to me again and again.

I have another question, that is, is there a mountain god in the mountain? Let them tell the truth, if they lie about the military situation, they will be severely punished.

One of the guides exclaimed excitedly: "That is the place where the Twelve Heavenly Officials cultivate, you strangers don't understand anything, of course the mountain has a mountain god in charge of everything, including life and death of people." The Twelve Heavenly Officials are the gods, they all live here, they don't want to be disturbed by the outside world, unless they agree to us can enter, otherwise we will suffer the curse of heaven, many people have tried it before, there are absolutely no exceptions. ”

I feel more and more that this is a scam at all, and some people with ulterior motives make up the gossip of the Twelve Heavenly Officials to warn those who do not know about it, and finally reach the secret of dominating the mountain.

After breakfast, we continued to the depths of the col, where birdsong was everywhere, without a single murmur, and walking on this road almost made people forget the troubles of life.

While passing a stream, the mercenaries stopped to drink water and rest.

The three guides went away from the river and into the woods.

I keep an eye on them all the time, and the every move of these people directly determines our life and death, and they are like weather vanes, and there will be no negligence for a moment.

Milan had been holding an atlas and looking over and over again.

She believed too much that the map was a mistake, and that in the depths of the dense forest, it was impossible for any exploration plane to get accurate data.

If you follow the map exactly, you will find yourself in an awkward dilemma.

There was a sudden fire in the distance, I wonder if the woods were on fire, or if there was something wrong with the house?

I held up my binoculars and observed, and the firelight appeared behind the trees, and it seemed that a row of thatched huts were burning.

The guide told us to stay calm and sent someone to check.

I told those men to put themselves in battle formation, and not to be careless.

Soon, the guide came back and told us with a relaxed face that there was a mountain fire, but the thatched hut was surrounded by streams, and even if it burned, it was not afraid.

"Go and find out who these houses belong to. Are there any examples of wildfires in the vicinity? ”

The three guides, though reluctantly, each took two people out.

They must know to whom the burned house belongs? Are there any missing people in the nearby villages?

Only by working together to expand the scope of suspicion can the real culprit be found.

Time was too short for me to do anything, so I had to go deeper into the col first.

Next, we will march directly on the mountain road and finally reach our goal.

"We risked our lives to bring you here, and if we want to work, we have to pay more......"

The guide, who spoke Chinese best, crossed his arms and blocked the door of my tent.

Money is not an issue, I follow what he said, increase the daily wage by half.

If our whole trip was a week, each of them would get 50,000 yuan.

"It's pretty much the same, the twelve heavenly officials are angry, and they don't have the life to spend the money they make...... You strangers, you don't know how powerful the twelve heavenly officials are, and they are angry, and they are all finished, and they are all finished......"

On the road again, the guide strode forward, and the mercenaries distanced themselves from them, loaded and ready for battle.

"Ye Tian, do you have a basic judgment on our actions this time?"

"Yes, it's likely that people will go to the empty building, and we will only find a large piece of dilapidated house, and we will not gain anything."

"You're going to prove they're dead?"

"It's possible to die or run away."

"We finally bulldozed the lair of the Twelve Heavenly Officials and completely wiped out this mysterious force, the Eight Sages King must be happy, hehehehe......"
