The size of the palms of men and women is different, and you can see it at a glance.

"Or the kids. Ke Yanhua muttered, "This time, there are hundreds of dependents brought by each family alone, including women and children. There were more than 200 palace maids and servants. Among these people, the spies can find a random reason, such as Izugong, and they can leave a palm print in the forest to guide the way. ”

They traveled all the way through the mountains and mountains, and it was normal for the team members to touch the big trees when they came down. Besides, it is not as convenient for women to relieve themselves in the wild as men, and they have to go to a secluded and uninhabited place to solve it by themselves, which is also a good opportunity to leave a mark to do their hands and feet.

"According to what you say, you just can't figure it out?" Wei Wang was a little irritable. It's one thing to speculate that there are spies in the convoy, but it's another thing after it is confirmed. The way the other party left the mark was secretive, and the Ranger team didn't find out until today, and God knows how many times this person had left the mark before!

The Zhenbei army wants to follow the mark, it seems that it is not a problem, it is nothing more than the time sooner or later.

At this time, Ke Yanhua had no good plan. The team is advancing, and the suspicions are wide, and screening is difficult. He thought for a moment before saying, "First of all, distribute it to each family for self-examination." The palace people brought out by the king have a very reliable background after strict screening, so the spies are most likely to be in the convoys. ”

"As far as I know, if nothing else, they all hire cars and men from the carriage and horse dealers. The hired outsiders are not sure that there will be spies!"

No house usually has a dozen horse-drawn carriages. King Wei retreated west to Taicang this time, and the magnates had to hire horses and chariots, which inevitably brought in outsiders.

"Keep an eye on these people. King Wei said gloomily, "Soon they will enter the Red Crossbow Ridge, maybe they will make trouble." I've heard that there are monsters under the Red Crossbow Ridge, and it's not good to be disturbed. ”

Ke Yanhua smiled slightly: "At this point, the king can rest assured." The monster had been resting at the bottom of the mountain for hundreds of years, and it never showed any signs of awakening. More than 200 years ago, the two armies staged a pursuit battle here, not only killing the sky, but even the side that was about to lose also used artillery, that is, they wanted to summon monsters, and it was too late to die together. I don't know that even if the ground is shaken, the local mountains are not woken up. ”

King Wei exhaled lightly: "That's good." But after thinking about it, he frowned, "Then the guide also asked the convoy to wrap the horses' hooves and not make a sound when crossing the Red Crossbow Mountain?"

"It's just the custom of the local foolish people. Ke Yanhua gave him relief, "In the past few hundred years, Chibashi Mountain has always been peaceful, and this is the point." ”

King Wei nodded, feeling a little relieved.

At this time, there was a gentle pecking sound outside. Ke Yanhua lifted the curtain and stretched out his hand, and when he retracted again, there was another piece of information lying in his palm.

This time, he pursed his lips after reading it, and the smile that had just come to him disappeared.

"The main force of the Zhenbei Army is coming here. ”

"What!" Wei Wang lost his voice, he originally picked a grape to eat, but with a force on his hand, the grape was pinched and splashed with sweet juice.

"The king is relieved for the time being, the Zhenbei army is still far away. Ke Yanhua hurriedly continued, "They are at least fifty miles away from Wushi Fort, and it would be good to be there before dark today." ”

That is, the Zhenbei army was two days behind them.

King Wei slapped his desk hard: "Give the order to go down, speed up your pace!" The snow on the road has been cleared, these lazy worms just have to go forward, how can they still walk slowly?" "Damn, really damn it!" "It must be that the spy has already leaked his whereabouts!"

Ah, more than that!

If the spies had followed from the beginning, I am afraid that they would have known that the monarch was hiding among the people in this way. Otherwise, King Wei arranged for as many as a dozen convoys to leave the capital, why did Zhenbei Hou choose this way?

You must know that the opportunity to pursue is precious, and there is no possibility of repeating if you guess wrong.

The only explanation is that Han Zhao has confirmed that King Wei is here!

That damn spy!

King Wei's eyes flickered, and he suddenly remembered the abnormality of the past few days: "The day after resting in Wushi Fort, Liao Qing and many palace people were poisoned by the cold. Although the medical officer said that the water in the well in the mountains is too cold, but now that he thinks about it, could it be that he has made a move to stop the convoy from advancing?"

Ke Yanhua thought for a while: "The king is wise!"

The more King Wei thought about it, the more he understood: "Heh, as for Liao Qing, he is the great-grandfather of Lone's good brother. Han Zhao must be afraid that Xiao Mi will be jealous in the future, so he simply instructed the spies to kill Liao Qing on the road to get rid of future troubles!"

Ke Yanhua echoed tightly: "This Han Zhao is really not a good thing!"

"Since the spy followed us into the Great Snow Mountain, Han Zhao will soon find out. King Wei said with a cold face, "He knows the land well, and it is not difficult to deduce that our destination is Howling Wind Gorge. "Otherwise, why are you in such a hurry to cross the snowy mountains in the winter?"

Ke Yanhua pondered for a while: "According to the guide, tonight can only rush to the third shelter at most, and if you can't go any further, then there will be two more hours, or you will have an extra rest time on the fork in the road in the afternoon." Speaking of this, he paused, "Weichen has a way to find out the spies, and the king can only rest assured." ”

Mountain people are familiar with the road conditions, and in the dangerous snowy areas, it is necessary to find a sheltered place to settle before dark, otherwise danger will come with the night. At the speed of the convoy, it was impossible to reach the third sheltered col today, so the rest of the journey was a little more relaxed.

This gave Ke Yanhua the opportunity to set a trap.

King Wei snorted and looked out the window.

In the distance, the Great Black Mountain towers into the sky.

......

The sun is already setting in the west, and Yan Saburo is also looking at the mountain in the distance.

The further you go to the hinterland of the Wuding Snow Mountain, the higher the altitude becomes, and even the air becomes thinner. Here is a random mountain peak and placed in the southeast, and it is all the effect of seeing all the small mountains.

But the big black mountain far away in the sky, no matter from which angle it looks, still stands out from the crowd, a lot higher than other peaks.

Strictly speaking, it's black and white – some of the rocks are too steep for snow to stay on and vegetation to cover, so they can only be shown as a background, but the bright sunlight gilds it with a shiny gold edge.

Without anyone else's explanation, Yan Saburo knew that this was the focus and difficulty of this trip - Red Crossbow Peak.

The majesty of this kind of mountain is steep and majestic, and only "Duxiu" can describe it. If you look at it twice, you feel that the world is small, the grievances are boring, and it is not worth mentioning in front of it.

"You've been watching it for a quarter of an hour, and it's all over?" the cat muttered in his arms, not knowing what was so nice about a mountain of broken stones, "Go back to the car, it's freezing to death outside!" The boy wrapped it tightly with a piece of soft felt, but the little half of his head was exposed after all, and he was blown by the cold wind.
