In the Great Xianbei Mountains.

"It's been a month!"

Zhao Gou complained, he had been walking in the mountains and forests for a month, when had he ever suffered this kind of hardship, and the mountains and forests were icy and snowy.

"His Royal Highness King Kang, you will be able to reach the Huanglong Mansion in half a month!"

Wan Yan Gao looked at Zhao Gou and said.

"Half a month to go!"

Zhao Gou felt that he was about to explode, and he knew that he would not come if this was the case.

"If it weren't for the Qi State controlling the entire Yanyun, why would we take the mountain road!"

Wanyan Zongjun gritted his teeth and said, now there is a Qi country between the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom, which makes it impossible for the two countries to communicate normally at all, and the official road cannot be walked, so they can only go over the mountains and take the small road.

"That's it for today, I can't walk!"

Zhao Gou stopped directly, he didn't want to leave a step today.

Zhang Bangchang, who was beside Zhao Gou, was even more tired like a dead dog, leaning against a tree and gasping.

"It's not too early, so let's do it today!"

Wan Yangao looked at the sky, the sky was full of dark clouds, and a heavy snow was coming.

The tents were all set up, and the fire was lit directly in the tent, and the warm tent instantly made everyone lie down and not want to move.

Wanyan Zongjun asked a few Jurchen warriors to hunt some game and come back, and the dry food they carried was running out, but fortunately, there was never a shortage of food in the mountains and forests.

In a few moments, the soldiers returned with a deer, a roe deer, and a couple of hares.

"Wanyan Guoxiang, aren't your Jin Kingdom fighting with Qi State? Why is the war in Liaodong not over yet? ”

Zhao Gou looked at Wan Yan Gao and asked, Wan Yan Zongjun said all day long that the Jurchens were as brave as they were, and hundreds of people rose up against the Liao, and in less than ten years, they destroyed the invincible Khitan Liao State.

But along the way, except for the mountains and forests that are covered with snow, there are not even a few living people, which is different from the Jin Kingdom he imagined.

"It's a big war, but I don't know how the battle went!"

Wan Yan Gao shook his head, and the nearest way back to Huanglong Mansion was to take the Liaoxi Corridor from Hebei Road.

But the Liaoxi Corridor and Liaoyang Mansion are all fighting, and they can't go at all.

The other way is to cross the Yan Mountain, enter the eastern part of the grassland, and then cross the Daxianbei Mountain and enter the Huanglong Mansion.

Wan Yan Gao took Zhao Gou to the last road.

The meat on the fire was quickly cooked, and the Jurchens were good at fishing and hunting, as well as at roasting meat.

Zhao Gou took a roe deer leg and ate it, the only thing that satisfied him along the way was this food.

After eating the barbecue, Zhao Gou returned to his tent.

"His Royal Highness King Kang, this weather is not right, it seems that it is going to snow again, where can I walk in this half month!"

Zhang Bangchang looked at Zhao Gou with a bitter face and said, he is a literati, where can he stand this kind of bad weather.

What scared Zhang Bangchang even more was his own life, the envoy sent to Jin last year had died of illness, but he did not resist the severe cold of Liaodong, and Zhang Bangchang was afraid that he would follow in his footsteps.

"Is it going to snow?"

Zhao Gou also had a bitter face, he had also experienced two snowstorms during this time, but he had suffered enough.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have come! How comfortable it is to stay in the palace and bake the fire! ”

Zhao Gou thought as he looked in the direction of Tokyo.

"Luan Tingyu, why don't you speak?"

Zhao Gou looked at Luan Tingyu, who had not spoken, since the mission set off, Luan Tingyu had few words.

"Your Highness, the last general is a military general, this winter practice is the basic skill of practicing three times in summer and three dogs, although Liaodong is cold, but the last general can still stand it!"

Luan Tingyu said.

"I knew I would let you come alone!"

Zhao Gou looked at Luan Tingyu and said, he should find a place to rest and let Luan Tingyu go to Huanglong Mansion.

"Your Highness laughed, the last general has a low position, how can he take on such a big responsibility!"

Luan Tingyu hurriedly said.

The snowstorm came as scheduled, and the mission was trapped in the mountains and forests, and even the Jurchens would not have crossed the mountains and forests in such weather.

Luan Tingyu was stunned as he looked at the large snowflakes falling outside the tent.

Luan Tingyu actually regretted it a little, he was not afraid of the bitter cold of Liaodong, but following Zhao Gou had no merit at all, and he couldn't get any useful information, and he was far from having a future in Tokyo.

"General Luan, good Yaxing!"

Wanyan Xiyin looked at Luan Tingyu and smiled.

"It's funny, I'm just worried about when the heavy snow will stop, and we still have to hurry!"

Luan Tingyu shook his head and said.

"General Luan, is King Kang really a simple envoy this time?"

Wanyan Xiyin asked in a low voice.

Luan Tingyu's eyes narrowed slightly, these people in the Jin Kingdom haven't been looking for him for a while, are they here to ask for the bag again?

"I heard that this is the case, but isn't this what Prime Minister Wanyan requested?"

Luan Tingyu looked at Yan Xiyin and said.

"Hehe, has General Luan forgotten his identity!"

Wanyan Xiyin said in a displeased voice, Luan Tingyu's words just now were obviously perfunctory, and he had to point out the identity of Luan Tingyu's undercover agent.

"I haven't forgotten, but you have forgotten!"

Luan Tingyu glanced at Yan Xiyin and said, Jin Guoren is really arrogant, he wants to be an undercover agent himself, but he doesn't give any benefits, he is even more deductible than Zhao Gou.

"This time you go to Huanglong Mansion, you can get what you want!"

Wanyan Xiyin heard the resentment in Luan Tingyu's words, and smiled and comforted him, in Tokyo, they really couldn't buy Luan Tingyu, but when they arrived in Huanglong Mansion, it was different.

"King Kang has always been chatting with Zhang Bangchang privately recently, but I can't participate in it because of my military general!"

Luan Tingyu told what he knew.

"You really didn't hear at all?"

Wanyan Xiyin was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately asked, Zhang Bangchang is now Zhao Gou's think tank, and they must be discussing the envoy when they chat in private.

"It seems that there is some kind of private alliance or something!"

Luan Tingyu said.

"Privately? United? Good! ”

Wanyan Xiyin was overjoyed when he heard it, and now they have mastered the hole cards of Zhao Gou and Zhang Bangchang.

Looking at Wanyan Xiyin, who was happily leaving, Luan Tingyu shook his head helplessly, this kind of news can be like this, if it is said that something more exciting will not jump.

Luan Tingyu is now the guard general of the Zhao Gou Mission, and if he wants to hear something, it is not easy to hear.

As far as Luan Tingyu knew, Zhao Gou was preparing to unite with the Jin State to launch a coup d'état, overthrow Zhao Huan, and replace him.

Luan Tingyu really felt that Zhao Gou was anxious and deep now, he was so vicious at a young age, and he did not hesitate to collude with other races for the sake of the throne, so he didn't want to think that if this was the case, the Central Plains would turn into purgatory.

The snowstorm stopped for three days, and the mission continued its departure.

Luan Tingyu was at the back of the line, and it was the Jurchens who opened the way.

"Huh?"

Luan Tingyu inadvertently saw a trace on a big tree next to him.

"The mark of Liangshan!"

Luan Tingyu was overjoyed in his heart, he didn't expect to see the mark of Liangshan here, since it is here, it means that there are people from Liangshan who are active here.

Luan Tingyu deliberately slowed down, and after pulling a little distance from the team, Luan Tingyu carved another mark next to the marker.
