Wang Lun wore the dark iron armor obtained from Sunset City, and led twenty heavily armed scouts to the north gate of Dongling City, in fact, if they want to go to the Transverse Mountains, they should be closer to the West Gate, but it is also because the West Gate is relatively close to the Transverse Mountains, so there are more people coming and going here, and there are not so many people at the North Gate a little farther away, Marshal Zhao chose this North Gate for this reason, and when Wang Lun and their group of twenty-one people arrived here, Marshal Zhao was already waiting here, and he directly sealed the north gate temporarily, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving. After seeing Wang Lun and them coming, Marshal Zhao also slightly amazed at the armor on Wang Lun's body, which was not ordinary at first glance, but soon he diverted his attention away, and when he said a few more words to Wang Lun, the herald rushed over from behind panting, as for why he had to wait for this herald, Marshal Zhao also said the reason.

It turned out that this mission was also an urgent notice that Marshal Zhao had just received this morning, and it was the news from the Dawn City, and there was a carriage that followed the news, as for who the people in the car were, even Marshal Zhao himself didn't know, and this herald was also sent by the Dawn City, and this news meant that the Houtu City side didn't know what was going on, and began to move troops frequently, which seemed to be a big move, but this had no impact on the Dawn City itself, which was across the mountain from the Houtu City. But it's not a good thing for Chixia City and Sunset City, which border Houtu City, Sunset City and Chixia City are in a similar situation, and it should have been Sunset City better, but after these two successive battles with Dawn City, Sunset City has returned with a feather, and it is obviously much worse than before in terms of armament, and it is the same as Crimson City, but the better thing about Crimson City than Sunset City is that this Chixia City is friendly with Dawn City with strong strength and sufficient armaments, It can be seen from the fact that they can support three brigades and a special force, so the city lord of Chixia City sent a request for help to Dawn City while dispatching troops, not only asking Dawn City to support some grain and grass armaments, but also asking Dawn City to send people to Houtu City to investigate the situation.

Originally, after learning about the actions of Houtu City, the city lord of Dawn City also wanted to know some information, and now he got the request of Chixia City, so he directly sent people to Houtu City, and the reason why he came to Dongling City was that it was not convenient for this person to spy on the military situation to act here, so he needed Marshal Zhao to send someone to escort them through the Transverse Mountains to the territory of Houtu City, and as for the matter after arriving, it was left to them to deal with on their own, Marshal Zhao considered that it was necessary to pass through such a dangerous place as the forbidden land across the Transverse MountainsHe believes that even if there is a special situation, Wang Lun's ability can also turn the danger into a disaster, as for the communication between the carriage and Wang Lun, the communication between them is all completed through this herald, so Wang Lun They not only have to ensure the safety of the carriage, but also have to ensure the safety of the herald.

After listening to Marshal Zhao's statement, Wang Lun also received the order to leave, and the herald also jumped into the carriage to play the role of the coachman, and the team of twenty-one people and a carriage set off in a mighty way, originally with Wang Lun's normal speed, if they set off in the morning, they could enter the traverse mountain range before dark, but now with the addition of a bulky carriage, the overall movement speed has all decreased, and even the six scouts who explored the road before did not run too far, And they happened to enter the newly built bridge on the West River when it was dark, Wang Lun looked up at the sky, and calculated the time in his heart, at their current speed, if they rushed to the camp where they had just crossed before, I am afraid it would be late at night, and he had already been stopped because he wanted to enter the station late at night, and even almost had the experience of doing it, knowing that it was best not to approach the station in the middle of the night, otherwise he would be regarded as an attacker, so he ordered to speed up the crossing of the river, Then camp not far from the West River.

In fact, there are small groups of soldiers stationed on both sides of the stone bridge, the number is not large, just used as a warning, Wang Lun If they camp by the bridge, it will inevitably cause misunderstanding, so Wang Lun ordered to camp at a distance away from the bridge, which is also to offset the vigilance of these soldiers. The twenty scouts set up a guard around the camp, and then took out the dry food they brought with them and ate it, as for the people in the carriage, Wang Lun also called the herald, and wanted him to bring some food to the people there, but the herald politely declined, he said that the people in the carriage had prepared their own food, enough to eat on the way, and he also said that before leaving, the city lord of Dawn City had ordered that no one was allowed to communicate with the people in the carriage unless there was a special emergency. Even this herald can't communicate with the people in the carriage casually, Wang Lun was very curious about who was here, it would be so mysterious, but it was just curiosity, he didn't have the heart to find out, and he didn't care about things that shouldn't be taken care of, which was also the experience he summed up with his life.

However, Wang Lun still gave the herald some food and asked him to eat it himself, because he saw that the herald did not seem to have much dry food with him. The herald was also very grateful to Wang Lun, and wanted to leave after taking something, but was called back by Wang Lun, since he didn't have to care about the people in the carriage, then there was no need for the herald to go to the side to eat by himself, Wang Lun let the herald sit with his own people to eat, this is how the soldier is, originally the two people could still be wary of each other, but after a long time, this little bit of vigilance disappeared, although there is no way to become a comrade-in-arms who can hand over their backs to each other all of a sudden, But sitting together to eat and chat can still be done, no, there were originally some heralds who seemed to be out of place at the moment and Wang Lun They can sit together and chat with each other, the herald's range of activities is generally very large, even if it is not out of the city's sphere of influence, it can also be said that the entire sphere of influence has gone all over again, from east to west, from south to north, as long as there is an army stationed, it will be from the herald's footprints, and at this moment the herald's box is also open. Gradually, it became that the herald was talking alone, time passed quickly, Wang Lun and they were ready to rest, of course, there was also a night watch, Wang Lun arranged three groups of people, each group of two scouts, just responsible for vigilance and early warning.

There was nothing to say all night, and soon the sky was bright, after the pheasant crowed a few times, Wang Lun and they also walked out of their tents, and then counted the number of people, twenty people were there, Wang Lun's whole team continued to go on the road after breakfast, Wang Lun and their place where they were stationed was actually not far from the Hengguan Mountains, at noon, this team of people and horses even came to the foot of the Hengguan Mountains smoothly, and their current location is the entrance to one of the official roads into the Hengguan Mountains, Although there are not many people coming and going, but there are also a lot, these people have not seen an official messenger enter the mountain from this side, but when they saw the leader Wang Lun's armor, they also had a lot of judgments, Wang Lun naturally didn't care about these words, and the team leader entered the traverse mountain range, to say that in fact, they did not take the official road is the most hidden choice, but there is no way, the carriage can't take the rugged path, otherwise the carriage will have to fall apart if it doesn't wait until it reaches Houtu City, so there is no way, it can only take the official road, However, Wang Lun chose not the kind of prosperous official road, but the official road with relatively few people.

When Wang Lun and they entered the mountain, Wang Lun, who walked in front of the carriage, felt that there seemed to be someone behind him who seemed to be eyeing his own group of people, these people were doing a knife licking blood business, for the army and soldiers in their eyes there is no difference from ordinary people, the only difference is that the resistance is stronger, most of these people are veterans who have retired from this corps, Or the soldiers who were expelled, there was no lack of human life, if it was in normal times, Wang Lun would have taken action to solve them, but now it is different, he is bringing the task out, and he can't lead to the failure of the task due to his momentary majesty, so Wang Lun did not shoot at the first time, but dispersed his momentum, and the people who followed the team could feel the momentum exuded by Wang Lun, so they were naturally afraid and scattered to find new targets.

For this point, Wang Lun also made up his mind to clean up this area when he came back from completing the task, in order to ensure the safety of the people, which is also what he should do as a soldier, after walking a distance, Wang Lun suddenly felt something strange, he quickly stopped the team, saw Wang Lun's instructions, these scouts reacted very quickly, and dismounted around the carriage, looking around vigilantly, The scouts who were sent out to explore the way before discovered the strange situation behind them also quickly retreated to support, and the scouts behind also rushed over, forming a protective circle, at this time Wang Lun did not panic, but slowly took the sword of thunder in his hand and charged it, and then completely released his momentum, the whole person's feeling was full of murderous aura, and then looked at both sides of the official road, "Since you are here, don't hide, come out!" ”
