Chapter VI

"Hmph, kill me, don't say a hundred, even if you give you a thousand, you can't get out, don't say if you can make so many cotton clothes in such a short time, even if there is, do you really think you can go out?"

Wei Liushan saw that Li Ergou didn't speak, so he laboriously adjusted his posture and lay against the wall, and then said, "Every time you are under my leadership, you have to walk for half an hour, and you must know the coldness in the Yinlong Mountain Range, even if you wear cotton clothes, it is unbearable for a strong man like you and me to be in the second half, do you think a hundred people can find a way out in half an hour? I think they all have to freeze to death inside."

When Lu Zhanying heard this, she frowned, turned her head and asked Li Ergou, "What he said is true?"

Li Ergou didn't speak with a calm face and nodded

Wei Liushan suddenly laughed and said, "Hahaha, miss me...... I think I treat you well on weekdays, this hero, I can take you across the border, but I have one condition. โ€˜

Lu Zhanying didn't expect Wei Liushan to agree so quickly, but he still asked, "What conditions?"

"I ...... I can take you out of the cave, but you have to let me and Xiaocui leave safely, and kill Li Ergou in front of me right now."

"Wei Liushan, you are really fucking vicious," Li Ergou turned around after scolding, knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Zhanying, and said, "Don't kill me, big hero, I can be a cow and a horse for you."

Lu Zhanying didn't think much about it when he heard this, and as soon as he lifted his right hand, Li Ergou lay backwards, with a blood mark on his neck, "Are you satisfied?"

Wei Liushan was suddenly speechless in shock, although the brother who had followed him for many years betrayed himself, he still felt a little sad when he saw that this brother really fell in front of his eyes.

Lu Zhanying continued, "As for letting the two of you leave safely, I'm afraid you can't do it, it's difficult for you to get to Wu Kingdom alive, if it's really as dangerous as you said, I think it's very difficult for you to get out, your whole body meridians have been penetrated by my cold and hot two true qi several times, and you are already on the verge of fragmentation, how can you live?"

Wei Liushan exploded when he heard the buzzing of his brain, it turned out that he was also unable to protect himself, and said with a wry smile, "If that's the case, then ask the hero to promise to take her to Wu alone."

"Sixth brother, he injured you like this, why do you still promise him to let them die in the cave and bury you with you" Without Li Ergou sleepy, Xiaocui immediately ran to Wei Liushan's side and hugged him and said

Wei Liushan shook his head and said: "It was because I was greedy for a while that I gave Li Ergou, a villain, an opportunity to take advantage of, this hero is also on orders, I don't hate him, presumably the third child was also blinded by Li Ergou's clever words, he will come to Wu in the future, you can spend the rest of your life with him."

"Big brother", the man who has not spoken, experienced the death of a brother at this time, and a brother was about to die, so he was uncomfortable and cried after just calling his brother

"Lu Yingying, please inform Master Jia that we can go, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to take you out" Wei Liushan looked at Lu Zhanying and said, "Third child, come here, I have something to tell you"

"Big brother, you can say it," the third squatted beside Wei Liushan and said

"Third brother, this is retribution, we were not good people in the countryside at the beginning, although we bullied the township, but we didn't have blood on our hands, we fled to this point in order to survive, we risked death to cross the border, and we did this tongue in order to earn more silver, you have been with me for many years, I know that you have no life in your hands You are an honest man, Xiaocui entrusts you to rest assured" Wei Liushan may have said a lot, and used a lot of strength, and the pain in the meridians made him sweat profusely like taking a bath

Lu Zhanying didn't go out long and brought back three people, entered the house, stretched out his hand and pointed at Boss Wei and the three of them, "Go, give them the cotton clothes, the two of you carry the dying one, you are optimistic about this woman, if the two dare to play tricks, they will kill her for me" After speaking, he turned around and walked outside the house

A group of people gathered at the door of the inn, Master Jia and his wife and two people with veils on their heads who could not see the men and women were sitting on the four soft sedan chairs, Boss Wei was carried on a stretcher, and the rest of the young men were carrying a small wooden box on their chests and behind them, I don't know what to pack, they are all valuable things, even Steward Jia is carrying one behind him, only Liu Laohan and Lin Yujing are disabled and pregnant, so they are just carrying simple bags

Zhang Zhong walked to the front of Master Jia's sedan chair and said with a smile, "Master Jia, I can't go with Master Jia on this trip, and the little one has to wait here for the big brother over there to bring the things that my master explained."

Master Jia didn't speak, just nodded

Zhang Zhong walked up to Wei Liushan again, "Brother Wei, your body has become like this, I don't know if you can still pick up the tongue brother over there this time?"

Wei Liushan sighed and said, "Don't worry, brother, I will ask the third brother to mark the rest of the caves, and there will be no more of us on this road from now on."

Zhang Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "It's so good, thank you Brother Wei."

This Zhang Zhong did not participate in the persecution of Wei Liushan, and he had a friendship with several cross-border friends, so he was still happy with him

Steward Jia looked back at the group and said, "Let's go."

Out of the town to the east walked for an hour, the group of people on the side of the road to rest for a while, although the town is at the foot of the Yinlong Mountain Range, but after all, it is a dead horse running in the mountain, plus most of the people in the group are people who have not walked far and have no foot strength, but also slower to travel, the third from time to time looked at the mountains in the distance and the sun in the sky to calculate the hour, his face was slightly impatient, ran to the middle of the team Steward Jia said" Lord Steward, we can't rest any longer, we have to hurry up, I have just been watching the Silver Dragon Mountain, the section of the mountain range that crosses has been hidden in the clouds, we have to walk outside the cave for a while after entering the mountain, if it snows, then we are all finished. โ€

Steward Jia stretched his waist and said, "Is it so serious?

"Oh, you don't know the cold in the mountains, if it snows, we will walk slowly, it will take a long time, and it will be frozen, let alone us, the gods will have to freeze into ice"

Steward Jia nodded, turned around and shouted to the team behind him, "Hurry up and pack up and go, let's go faster, it may be snowing in the mountains."

The third child turned his head and went to the front of the team to lead the team, Master Jia has not said a word, it seems that he has absolute trust in this housekeeper

Slowly whispered in the team also spread the terrible snow, a group of people unconsciously accelerated their pace, in the evening a group of people finally walked to the side of the mountain, looked up at the height of the top, both sides of the mountain barrier, a group of people standing there like ants, in the front of the third suddenly raised his hand to signal the team to stop, the third looked at the mountain wall five hundred meters away in front of him, steep as a knife cut general, far away at the bottom of the mountain there is a cave about twenty or thirty zhang high, like a big mouth to eat people open very scary, the third thought of walking the road of death again and couldn't help but shiverใ€‚

"Put on cotton clothes, and if you are hungry, hurry up and eat some dry food, and wrap yourself tightly," Lao Jiang, who had never spoken on this trip, suddenly shouted loudly to everyone

The third child walked to the stretcher and helped Wei Liushan wrap his cotton clothes a little tighter, looked at the pale Wei Liushan and asked in a low voice, "Brother, do you still hate me?"

Wei Liushan's meridians were damaged as if he was paralyzed, he shook his head weakly, and looked at Xiao Cui beside him again

Lao Sanyi gritted his teeth and turned his head towards the mountain range, and the group followed, but after a few steps, everyone suddenly felt the biting cold, as if the cold winter Layue was standing in the snow in a single coat, although he told these people who had not been here before setting off, the cold of the Silver Dragon Mountain Range only spread to a mile away from the mountain, like a transparent barrier, standing on the edge of the barrier on one side of the body inside and one side of the body outside, you can feel two temperatures, very peculiar.

Soon the group walked to the entrance of the cave, the black cave can only be seen in a short distance, the mountain wall is slippery and the yin wind blows outward, I really don't know how much courage the first person to go in is, the third is afraid that everyone can't stand the cold, and he didn't dare to stop and step into the cave, thinking that he can get out as soon as possible, such a big mountain is not a moment and a half to go out, the black cave is almost out of sight, and the people accompanying the escort lit the torches prepared in advance for lighting. The mountain rocks under their feet are uneven, and even the old three-man and his party, who are the tongues, have a hard time walking, not to mention the people who enter the cave for the first time, and they are even more stumbling.

Ah~ Suddenly a scream rang out beside Steward Jia.

Steward Jia's frightened body trembled and said angrily, "What are you shouting about?"

A pale maid beside him stretched out his hand and pointed to several corpses on the ground not far away, although he had been dead for a long time, he still maintained the appearance of when he first died because of the cold in the mountains, the shabby single clothes and the appearance of beggars, at first glance, the refugees who were forced to cross the border were frozen to death here, snuggling up to each other and lying on the ground, the torches could shine and saw these bodies, the little maid had never seen this person who froze to death, and was not lightly frightened, Lu Zhanying jumped to the side of the corpses and shone it into the distance with the torch in his hand, everyone gasped, there were hundreds of dense bodies, the maid's face was pale, a white eye actually fainted, and the family next to him hurriedly helped, Lao San and his party have long been accustomed to going back and forth many times, even people like Steward Jia who have seen the world are shocked.

"Ahem...... Ahem, cough ......" The masked man on a soft sedan chair behind him suddenly coughed, and when Steward Jia heard this, he hurriedly ran to his side and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" At this time, Master Jia also turned around to look back, with an inquiry in his eyes

Lu Zhanying turned around and jumped back to the soft sedan chair, handed the torch in his hand to Steward Jia, reached out and pulled up the sleeve of the person on the soft sedan chair, revealing a slender and white hand, taking his pulse, Steward Jia asked anxiously next to him, "Lu Yingying, how is it?"

Shaoqing Lu Zhanying put his sleeves on the man, frowned, thought about it, and asked the third child, "If there is no accident, how long can I get out of this mountain range at the earliest?"

"There is an open cliff out of this cave, and if you are lucky enough not to snow, you will cross the cliff and enter the cave in the middle of the mountain range, and then you will walk three more open air and the last section of the cave, and it will take us at least ten days to travel at this pace."

"Ten days? no, it's too long"

"Ten days is too long? I'm talking about luck and going fast, otherwise it would take half a month."

Lu Zhanying lowered his head and frowned silently, and Steward Jia hurriedly asked, "You're talking, I'm really anxious."

"The girl was already small and weak, and had been affected by the yin qi into the body, although later by the master of the inner family who practiced qi with the yang true qi to suppress the yin qi in the body qi sea, but into this cold place, and was invaded by the cold, the suppressed yang qi is equal to the abdomen and back by the enemy, it is estimated that it will support up to seven days, seven days to the yang qi is exhausted by the girl herself is unable to resist, only a dead end"

"Ahem....... Cough...... cough cough ....." Xu was frightened by Lu Zhanying's words, and the girl on the soft sedan kept coughing

Steward Jia hurriedly patted his back lightly, and hurriedly knelt down towards Lu Zhanying, crying and begging, "Please Lu Yingying save my daughter, I only have this one flesh and blood, what conditions are needed, please mention the hero, you can exchange my life for it."

Lu Zhanying stepped forward to help Steward Jia and said, "It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I'm here, and I can't do anything, I've thought of several ways, but none of them are feasible."

At this time, Master Jia also got down from the sedan chair and walked over and said, "Zhanying, please think about it, I also regard this woman as my own, if you can save her life, I can promise you now, in addition to what I promised you before, when I get to Wu State, I can repair another letter and let you take it to Wu Country Qingshan to meet Elder Wang of the outer gate, he has a lifelong friendship with his father, and he will listen to me."

Lu Zhanying looked up at Master Jia, his eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Is this true?"

"When have I had an empty conversation with you?"

Lu Zhanying took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and carefully poured out two red pills from it, each the size of a soybean, Lu Zhanying looked at it and sighed, and took one to Steward Jia and said, "Let the girl take it, this medicine can be delayed for three days, and I will find a way to save your daughter within ten days."

When Steward Jia heard this, he hurriedly handed the pill to the woman on the soft sedan chair, and after seeing her eat it, he turned around and said, "Please get on the sedan chair and let's leave immediately."

A group of people began to walk to the depths of the cave, the cave body in this mountain is spacious, along the way from time to time will see dead people in various places in the cave, the entrance of this cross-border route is easy to find, and there is no cover, many people who can't afford to pay their tongues will risk death into the hole, all thinking that they can be lucky, they can touch out, but everyone underestimates the cold in this mountain, this is not a mountain, this is a mountain range that is continuous from north to south, east and west is hundreds of miles wide, and the winding in the mountain is to increase the distance traveled.

Three days later, this group of people walked out of the cave, in front of them is a cliff platform of more than ten zhang square, it is natural, the platform is in front of the bottomless cliff, the surrounding circle is full of topless mountains, like a big iron pass, the mountain is full of snow and ice, the whole world in front of them is white, there is a three-foot-wide sheep intestine trail on the left side of the platform, it is also naturally formed, there is no trace of excavation, it can't be chiseled, it is a frozen place all the year round, not to mention the mountain stones, that is, the snow on the mountain is frozen like a stone, they have just snowed before coming out of the mountain, and the sky is sunny at this time, but the three-foot-wide sheep intestine path is thick snow, the already difficult road is a little more dangerous, the group in the cave for three days is already exhausted, at this time to see such a road is already pale face is even more frightened completely bloodless.

The third child walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at the winding path in front of him, turned his head and said, "Master Jia, please ask a few of you to get off the sedan chair, let alone carry you on such a road, even if we walk by ourselves, we must be extremely careful."

Steward Jia's face was very solemn, but the road conditions in front of him were like this, Master Jia was exhausted after three days of travel, and the cold in the mountains had already made him unable to hold on.

"Master, why don't you work hard?" Steward Jia asked in a low voice as he walked to the soft sedan chair

Master Jia raised his eyes to look at everything in front of him, got up and stretched out his hand with great effort, and Steward Jia hurriedly stepped forward to support

"Let's go," Master Jia just whispered

The accompanying family members hurriedly stepped forward to support the other people who got up and down the sedan chair, but when the maid next to Mrs. Jia went to help, she didn't see Mrs. Jia move. Hurriedly shouted softly, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

When the others heard something strange, they all looked at this place, and Lu Zhanying hurriedly stepped forward and shouted softly, "Mrs. Jia?"

There was still no movement, Mrs. Jia was wrapped in a thick scarf, only her two eyes were exposed, tightly closed, Lu Zhanying saw that she hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Jia's wrist, turned her head to look like Master Jia shook her head, this Mrs. Jia didn't know when she was frozen to death, and she didn't even explain the next sentence, and another person with a tent on her head hurriedly ran to the soft sedan chair and pounced on Mrs. Jia's body and cried loudly, "Mother, how can you leave the child alone, ah...... The eldest brother is gone, the second brother is gone, the eldest sister is gone, and now that you're gone, you're left with me, mother,"

The group looked at each other and didn't know how to comfort the masked boy, and the miserable cries kept echoing in the mountains

Jia Zhenshan slowly walked to the soft sedan chair with the support of the housekeeper, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the back of the crying young man, and whispered, "Fang'er, why don't you talk to me .......when you leave?" This housekeeper Jia has a rich fortune in the Han Kingdom, but he has never taken a concubine, and he has a very deep relationship with his wife since he was a childhood sweetheart. "Jia Zhen, I don't want to leave, you take Xiaobao to Wu Kingdom" Master Jia finished speaking and sat down next to the sedan chair

"Daddy"

"Master"

"Master Jia"

Jia Xiaobao, the housekeeper, and Lu Zhanying looked up at the old man at the same time and shouted

Jia Zhenshan looked at Jia Xiaobao's kindness, then looked at Lu Zhanying and said, "Don't worry, I will repair a book for you and give you the tokens."

"Dad, you can't leave me anymore, I'll be left alone at home at that time, what can I do, I can't just have no mother, no more father"

"Master, you can't be disheartened, let's settle down over there, and we have to avenge the eldest young master, the second young master, and the eldest lady."

"Yes, Dad, we haven't avenged yet, you can't go"

Speaking of hatred, Jia Zhenshan's eyes lit up again, he looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, slowly got up and said to Steward Jia, "Take Mrs.'s ashes with me, I will live to find the Zhao family to seek justice", it was hatred that ignited Jia Zhenshan's thoughts again.

The group retreated to the cave, cut some branches on the edge of the cliff and dried them with torches to cremate Mrs. Jia, Jia Xiaobao has been crying in a low voice, this group of people has been exhausted after a few days of hard trekking, and at this time they don't want to say a word, the atmosphere is very quiet.

Wei Liushan, who was being supported, broke the silence with a cough at this time...... Master Jia, it's still early at this time, we should hurry as soon as possible, there is a natural cave in the middle of this mountain path, although it is not big, but it is enough for all of us to spend the night there, if we don't go, we may not be able to get there before dark."
