Chapter 534: Black Demon

Walking here, two more powerful people joined the main convoy. Yan Saburo secretly noticed that the number of people in this team was now close to four thousand, and it was eye-catching everywhere he went.

Luckily, it's a long way from Shengyi.

After three days of rapid marching, the men and horses were exhausted. Someone is sick, someone is injured, and someone goes to the doctor. Yan Saburo went around with He Xiaoyuan, and once again sighed at the convenience of this disguised identity:

In this special period, only doctors can come and go freely in the team, without being controlled by the guards.

I have seen four or five more patients, all of which are minor illnesses for He Xiaoyuan. She quickly finished it, took dinner and wanted to go back to the car to eat, and happened to meet the third steward of Yaofu on the way. After three days of driving, the corners of his eyes were bloodshot, and he had lost a lot of weight, which showed his hard work.

He Xiaoyuan greeted him with a smile, looked at him twice, and suddenly sighed: "I'm afraid your toilet has not gone well in the past two days, right?"

She is a doctor, and the third steward did not feel embarrassed when she talked about this topic, but just sighed: "Isn't it?

A quarter of an hour is nothing, the problem is that the convoy has been moving fast, and he has to lift his pants on the road after squatting in the pit for a short while, not to mention how uncomfortable it is along the way, but there are countless chores in the house, and they have to look for him.

He is the third steward, not the chief steward, and the servants are not in his turn, and the trivial matters of the servants are in his charge. There are hundreds of trivial things in a day, and even a few little guys have to find him to quarrel over half a steamed bun.

The three stewards have been walking with the team for the past few days, and they are so angry that there are several big bubbles in their mouths.

He Xiaoyuan smiled and took out a paper bag from his arms: "Take it and use it, one after each meal, to keep you smooth, and you have to have a good night's sleep." ”

It was what he urgently needed, and the three stewards were overjoyed: "This is so grateful!" wanted to give the silver, but He Xiaoyuan resolutely refused to accept it.

Yan Saburo watched coldly, and the smile on his face was just right. He Xiaoyuan took out the medicine in his hand, Han Zhao and Mao Dingsheng didn't dare to use it easily, but this one seemed to have chosen a bargain. Sure enough, the ignorant are fearless.

He Xiaoyuan sent out the medicine, and then asked casually: "By the way, where are we going?"

"I don't know. "He is just the steward of the Yao Mansion, and he can usually walk sideways in Shengyi City, but it is obvious that there are as many nobles in this convoy as a grain of rice, and some of them never show up, and he is not qualified to ask about senior secrets. He even had a scary guess, but he wouldn't mention it to anyone. "Just follow along. ”

The third steward sighed and dusted off the frost on his hat. In this ghost weather, the sun is cloudy and windy as soon as it goes up, and it seems to be able to blow into his bones all the time!

He Xiaoyuan only started to talk, and he didn't know the final destination: "The snow covers the mountain, and it will be fatal to go to the mountain at this time!"

Anyone with eyes can see that the procession is about to go deep into the 100,000 mountains, a place that has not been open to humans since autumn. Even hunters who are familiar with the local terroir would not want to take such a risk unless it is difficult to make a living.

The third steward sighed: "You can be relieved about this." The old man said that this black-topped snow mountain is standing here and looking scary, but it is okay to really walk in. The locals also often go into the mountains in winter, and there is no snow in it!"

He Xiaoyuan looked surprised: "Such a high mountain, there is no snow in it?"

"Not only is there no snow on the road we are going on, but the weather is pleasant at this time, and I heard that the plants in it are growing well, and there are many flowers and plants that are 100 years old. ”

He Xiaokite was even more strange: "In this kind of weather?"

"There are no wonders in the world. At this time, a small servant in Yao's Mansion led two townspeople over and said to the third steward, "The master explained that the preparations before entering the mountain were all made according to the requirements of these two guides." ”

The locals definitely know better about the temper of the Great Snow Mountain. Yan Saburo saw that these two people were in the prime of life, and their bodies and eyes were flexible, so they should be hunters in the mountains.

The two men immediately said to the three stewards: "Prepare three animals, chickens, sheep, and pigs, so many people must sacrifice first if they want to pass through the black demons; besides, during the process of entering the mountain, you must not make noise, you must not shout loudly, and you must not spit on the ground, so as not to disturb the mountains!"

When Yan Saburo heard the word "Shanze", his ears were pricked up. Shan Ze is the god of the mountain, and there was a Qu Yunhe beside him who was such an identity. So, there are mountains where they have to pass through?

The third steward swallowed: "Black demon?"

"Yes, the black demon is the Red Crossbow Peak......!" the guide thought for a moment before he came up with the word, "The only way." “

They waved their hands again and said, "Don't be afraid, the black demon hasn't been angry for a long, long time. We walk all year round, and we can pass safely without touching the above taboos. ”

Next, the guide asked the convoy to wrap all the hooves of the cart in soft grass or fur before approaching the black devil, so as not to make a kicking sound, and to oil the wheels and bearings so as not to creak when walking. The latter point is not easy, because the oil will solidify in winter......

But who made the three stewards do these chores? The guide explained so trivial, and he had to write them down one by one.

He Xiaoyuan also stood aside with a smile and listened until the guide finished speaking, and the little girl led him to the next house to continue to explain.

The three stewards went to work by themselves. In any case, crossing snow-capped mountains in winter is a huge ordeal.

Yan Saburo said softly: "King Wei wants to rush across the snow mountain and get rid of the pursuers behind." "Walking here, the atmosphere of the team is also a little relaxed, and there is no longer any noise. The guards didn't bother to deal with each other's servants. Yan Saburo guessed that this was due to the fact that the convoy had moved away from Shengyi, and that the army in charge of the broken off had not detected the arrival of the pursuers. At least he is confident that he will be able to make it through the snowy mountains this season. “

The town is small, with a permanent population less than a third of the size of the convoy. The kings and magnates could requisition the best houses in the town to live in, but the palace and servants had no place to live, so they had to go back to their cars.

Where is the airtightness of the curtain on the car? The cold wind of the night blows in through the curtain gap, and it is bitterly cold.

He Xiaoyuan just walked in and sat down, his eyes swept in the car, and suddenly said, "Someone has been here." ”

"Hmm. Yan Saburo looked around and pointed to the fire fold on the table, "This thing has changed its position." ”

In other words, someone got into the car while they were away and lit the lights.

But the car didn't look messy. He Xiaoyuan's face was gloomy: "Isn't someone suspicious?"

Their journey has just begun, and it will not be easy for them to spread the word if they are being targeted. Thinking of this, both of them sank in their hearts.
