In the early morning, Tiele Kingo and Tiele Amok officially parted on the Gobi Desert Mountain on the border of Ningzhou.

Tellergingo didn't say anything more, and last night's night conversation between him and Amok was the longest communication between the two brothers in years.

"Take care of yourself, remember what I told you last night."

After saying this, Tie Lejingo returned north with hundreds of black horsemen.

The fire-riding horses galloped, and the dust raised gradually blurred their figures, like a black and oppressive dark cloud, and quickly drifted towards the north.

Tiele Amok stopped and looked north for a long time, until the black cloud disappeared into the distant sky, he slowly turned around, and said lightly to his companion Na Duo Nan Mountain, and the remaining thirty Tiele warriors:

"Let's go."

……

In recent years, the official road of Niuyan Mountain has been rebuilt by the slaves of the Tiele Department and the laborers of Xia Tang County in the southern continent, and the group did not have a hard time, and it was even better than the Gobi on the border of Ningzhou.

At first, the mountains were all smooth dirt roads, and the group did not carry any baggage except dry food, and the speed of the march was very fast.

When it's time to cross the mountains, there are horse roads and bluestone paved mountain roads to choose from.

The winding mountain horse road is the ancient post road, which is the north and south land trade and goods transport, the road surface is very wide, one side is close to the ridge, the other side is the cliff deep stream, the horse team and the camel team often pass through it.

The mountain road is hidden in the dense forest, straight up and down, which saves a lot of distance than the winding mountain horse road.

Amocco and his entourage didn't bring any goods, only a horse with Xue Cheng, and without much thought, they plunged into the dense forest.

At this time, it will be late, the day will get darker, and the nocturnal animals in the mountains will also begin to be active, sometimes there are porcupinal pigs and wild rays passing through the mountain road, and there are sometimes chickadees whining and crying in the dense forest.

Neither Amoco nor Nadonansan had been to any place other than the grasslands, and they were curious about these sights.

Na Duo Nanshan led the horse to the front, carrying a large cage wrapped in oiled paper and leather, but he walked quite briskly, looking from side to side and said to Amok:

"Shizi, is there such a forest in the Southern Continent?"

Amocco shook his head and replied:

"I don't know, Mr. Dongyang only said that the scenery of Nanlu is very different from Ningzhou, but he didn't say anything specific."

"It's good if it's all like this, the grassland is full of miscanthus grass at a glance, and it's a bit monotonous."

Na Duo Nanshan was full of interest, and suddenly thought of something as he spoke, and suddenly changed his tone:

"But Shizi, I heard that the people of Nanlu will play tricks and never tell the truth, so you can have a small snack. Let's just say that the one you are going to this time is the first Yonghou Mansion, I heard that the young master inside is a bad-hearted guy, bullying men and women, and never doing good deeds. ”

Lu Shaoqing, who was far away in Jixia City, might never have dreamed that his "prestige" would spread far and wide, and even one of Tiele's slave cubs knew his famous name.

Amocco smiled and didn't say anything more.

Good eyes, bad eyes, what's the point?

He only needs to go to a strange place, be cautious in his words and deeds, and endure three years without offending me and not offending others......

There is no moon at night, and the night in the mountains and forests is like ink.

A dozen torches can only illuminate a small area of the surrounding area, which is not suitable for night walking.

Amok asked the leading ten-captain to organize his men and horses to find a clearing in the forest and camp on the spot.

Four or five bonfires were lit, and the surroundings were eerily quiet, except for the crackling sound of burning wood in the mountains and forests.

Amocco leaned back on the saddle that had been unloaded from Xue Yu's back, distraught and unable to sleep.

It didn't take long for the snoring sound of Na Duo Nan Mountain to come from the side, which instantly overwhelmed all the squirming movements in this mountain forest.

Amocco thought it was funny, I really didn't know how his small body could sleep so earth-shatteringly.

I really envy such a heartless and carefree person......

Amoco untied the long knife from behind his back, gently rubbing the ink-like black scabbard, feeling a chill pass through the scabbard to the palm of his hand.

He didn't know why Jin Ge would send him another knife, obviously he had already given him a wide-backed saber.

Does he, a man who can't make knives, need to have two knives?

No, it should be three.

He took out the dagger from his bosom, and the fire reflected the red and green gems on the hilt with a charming brilliance.

Amok looked at him fixedly, but after a moment, he laughed to himself.

With so many long and short knives to the South Continent, what will people think of themselves......

Just when everyone was asleep, and Amocco was the only one holding the knife in a daze.

Not far from the dense forest, there were two pairs of eyes staring closely at their team of men and horses from Ningzhou.

The two men were muscular, tall and short, both masked and dressed in night clothes, and were almost completely hidden in the darkness except for the pair of eyes that reflected the firelight.

Taking advantage of the sound of snoring one after another, one of the short men whispered:

"Second master, do you want to do it now?"

The other tall man shook his head decisively, and also replied in a low voice:

"No, you must do it in the territory of Xia Tang!"

The short man said urgently:

"If you don't do it with such a good opportunity, it's too late to get to the next Tang!"

The tall man raised his hand to signal him not to say more, looked around to make sure that no one was alarmed, and continued:

"The master said that we must go to Xia Tang County to do it, if the target is not to die in Xia Tang, not a penny will be given to us!"

The short man was a little discouraged and muttered:

"His grandmother's, kill a barbarian, why are there so many rules?"

The tall man stopped answering, still staring at Amocco by the campfire.

The short man had no choice but to sigh and sigh in his chest, and said in a deep voice:

"Then I'll let the brothers in the back withdraw, and then set up an ambush in Xiatang."

The tall man nodded slightly, counting as a response.

The short man retreated, and there was a rustle in the forest, like a nocturnal beast shuttling through the forest, and in a moment it vanished.

In the darkness, only the bright eyes of the tall man remained, and he looked at the thin Yi boy not far away, and secretly thought in his heart:

"After this vote, I don't think there is anyone else in the rivers and lakes who will say that our Sea Shark Gang is a wild way to go into the stream!"

……

Early the next morning, the sun shone through the woods, dappled and shone on the group of Tielebu who had just woken up.

No one realized that they had been watched by a group of people for a night.

Amocco cleaned up, put on his saddle, and directed the group on.

He sat all night, sleepless and aching, but his mind was clear and his heart was racing.

is about to arrive, turn over the ridge in front of him, and go down the mountain is the border of Dahao, which is the unknown he is about to face.

Amok unconsciously quickened his pace, and the group was not lingering on the never-before-seen scenery of mountains and forests.

Walking for most of the day, before evening, everyone was already standing at the foot of Bull's Eye Mountain.

In front of you is a dry river valley with a stone path abruptly running between the two sides of the valley.

One of the samurai in the procession who had been to the Southern Continent stepped forward and told Amok:

"Shizi, this is the Qingyang River Basin, more than a hundred years ago the Gulan River was diverted, the river was cut off, the Nanlu people built a road on the river valley, and then went to the territory of the Hao Dynasty."

Amocco nodded, took a deep breath, and said:

"Let's go! When you arrive in the territory of the Hao Dynasty, someone will come to answer in the Tang Dynasty, and at that time, you can return to Tiele. ”

After that, he turned over and sat on the snow and led the group through the narrow river valley.

This section of the river valley is very deep, and the bottom of the valley is full of cracked loess, and the wreckage of weathered ancient ships is tragically trapped in it.

Amoco had never seen such a long dry riverbed, and in his impression, the Aba River on the grassland of Ningzhou was always flowing, just like the ancient legend of their Yi people, which was long and endless.

Yes, Aba River, the river he loved the most.

How long will it take to see it......

Just when Amocco was full of emotion, a half-human-high stone tablet suddenly appeared at the end of the road, engraved with three large characters:

"Lower Tang County"
