Chapter 44: The Giant Gate

early morning

After eating breakfast, the four of them went to Qilian Mountain under the leadership of Xia Chan in the spring grass.

The Qilian Mountains are located in one of the six counties of Yannan Prefecture, Nanping County, Youzhou.

The continuous Qilian Mountains, as a natural barrier to separate the southern border of the entire dynasty, the Qilian Mountains are dangerous, including high mountains and dense forests, swamps and poisons, and more fierce beasts often infest, coupled with the ferocious bandits in the mountains, so few people in Yannan dare to approach the vicinity of Qilian Mountain, and several large-scale encirclement and suppression by the government have suffered great losses in this Qilian Mountain.

A group of six people walked relatively slowly because they came to Yannan for the first time, stopping and stopping along the way, passing through the famous Star Lake, the Sea of Ten Thousand Flowers and other places, among which the other side of the Sea of Ten Thousand Flowers is the most famous.

Looking at the blood-red road in front of him, Zhao Wushuang sighed a little: "This is the legendary flower that can lead to the other side of the netherworld?"

Chuncao explained in the previous part: "Back to Your Highness, this flower is the flower of the other side, and the people in Yannan call it a "ruthless flower" It is toxic Your Highness be careful!"

"Ruthless? Zhao Wushuang muttered.

"I like this flower!"

Ziyun stretched out her hand to pluck one, carefully looking at the other side flower that had no leaves and was as red as blood.

Wan'er looked at her with disgust.

Two days later

At the foot of the Qilian Mountain, the Qilian Mountain in the distance is like a sleeping dragon meandering along the entire southern border.

Chuncao and Xia Chan reminded: "Your Highness, there are miasma swamps all over the mountain, even people who are familiar with the road in the village are easy to enter by mistake, let's be careful!"

Zhao Wushuang nodded, "Well, I'm tired of the two sisters leading the way, it doesn't matter if you're slow, safety first!"

The group began to hike the mountain, the mountain forest was damp and stuffy, and there were many poisonous insects everywhere, Zhao Wushuang frowned, and his true qi slowly left his body to protect the Xue Jian who was being held.

Everyone else is also running their internal strength at the same time.

"No wonder this Qilian Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack!"

After walking for about two hours, a few people saw a looming building sign, the above-mentioned "giant gate village"

Chuncao wiped the sweat from her head and smiled, "Your Highness has arrived!"

"Well, great work!"

The road was difficult, and there were a few times when Xue Jian almost fell into the swamp, but fortunately, Zhao Wushuang reacted quickly.

Before a few people arrived at the gate of the village, several figures flashed out from around.

One of them, a man with short hair and full of flesh, shouted: "Yundian burns the fire and burns the sunset!"

Chuncao and Xia Chan stepped forward, "The net of heaven and earth is hidden!"

Then Chuncao Xia Chan retreated to both sides, and the man knelt down violently and bowed to Zhao Wushuang.

"The last general bravely crowned the left cavalry and rushed to the captain Dian Biao, and met His Royal Highness the prince!"

Behind him, five people said in unison: "I'm waiting for the veteran of the brave champion left cavalry army to meet His Royal Highness the prince!"

Zhao Wushuang hurriedly stepped forward, "Uncles, please hurry up!"

At this time, the door of the village was wide open, and there was a middle-aged man wearing a pair of shabby armor and gray temples, under the white hair of the middle-aged man, you could see the traces of Taoism carved by the years, and you could vaguely see that the angular face of the original youth, the burly body now has a trace of rickets with the years, Zhao Wushuang's eyes were a little moist, he recognized the armor, the armor was called "Xingchen Armor" There are ten pairs.

Behind the middle-aged man, there was a team of armorers wearing heavy armor and holding long knives, more than 5,000 people, and each of them exuded a monstrous battle intent.

The middle-aged man lifted his skirt and knelt violently, clasping his hands in front of him.

"The last general will bring the veteran of the left cavalry army of the five thousand brave champions to meet His Royal Highness the prince!"

Behind him, more than 5,000 people shouted in unison: "I'm waiting for the brave champion veteran to meet His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Meet His Royal Highness the Prince!!" Bursts of echoes echoed on this Qilian Mountain, and it did not disperse for a long time.

A roar that had been deposited for many years was finally vented on this day.

Xue Jian was a little nervous and hid behind Zhao Wushuang, she had also seen the scene of the army pulling out in the town, but she was not shocked this time.

Zhao Wushuang's body trembled slightly, and his hands were bowed in front of him to the end.

"Zhao Wushuang, the son of Zhao Qian, has seen your uncles, and your uncles have suffered!!"

A group of old soldiers said in unison: "Don't be bitter! The king of the brave crown, the son of the world is unparalleled!"

Zhao Wushuang appeared in front of the middle-aged man in a flash, and gently helped him up, "Uncles, please get up!"

Yu Fengluan laughed and said, "Okay!

Yu Fengluan waved his hand, "Go back to the village!"

Thousands of people returned to the village in an orderly manner, and Zhao Wushuang walked in only to find that this giant gate village was more of a well-guarded city than a walled village.

Yu Fengluan pointed around and said with a smile: "This place was originally the main altar of the Qilian Mountain Cult Wan Miasma Sect, and at that time, the last general took his brothers to see this place as soon as he entered the mountain, so he refused Duan Sandao's invitation. ”

"Oh, what about the Ten Thousand Miasma Sect?"

Yu Fengluan said seriously: "Who knows? Maybe the evil law practice has committed suicide!"

The corners of Zhao Wushuang's mouth twitched, "Committed suicide together?"

"No, you can't stop it!"

Zhao Wushuang: "...."

In the lobby of the village, Zhao Wushuang sat in the first seat at the insistence of Yu Fengluan.

Sitting below are all the high-level of the left cavalry, namely the fourth lieutenant of the Yongguan Left Cavalry Army, the hussar captain Zuo Zongxiao, the Zhaowu captain Wang Xingshan, the Zhechong captain Dian Biao, and the tiger Ben captain Xu Bing, because there are only 5,000 people and horses in the village, each person originally held 3,000 iron horses, but now it is shortened to 1,000 iron horses per person.

Yu Fengluan got up, "Yong Champion Nakamoto is forbidden to drink, but today His Highness came to me and I dared to make an exception in Fengluan!"

"Bring the wine!"

"Oh woo!!" A few rough old men shouted with their eyes shining.

Captain Xu Bing shouted in a thick Central Plains official tone, "Thanks to His Highness today, my old Xu can finally drink wine!"

Yu Fengluan raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"

Xu Bing immediately coaxed, "How can it! It should be, drinking and drinking and drinking are wrong!"

Yu Fengluan poured a bowl of wine, got up and said with a smile: "We salute His Highness for a bowl!"

Everyone stood up and said in unison: "To Your Highness!"

Zhao Wushuang got up and held the bowl in front of him with both hands, "To all uncles!"

"I hope that one day, I, Zhao Wushuang, will be able to invite all my uncles to drink at the Jinluan Palace!"

There was silence in the lobby, and then it was like a volcanic eruption.

Captain Dianbiao drank all the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and shouted: "Your Highness!

"I'm the same Xu Bing, fuck the dog emperor!"

Hussar Captain Zuo Zongxiao and Zhaowu Captain Wang Xingshan were calmer than the two, but their slightly trembling hands could not hide their mood at this time.

Yu Fengluan gently put down the wine bowl, looked at the high-spirited young man on the first seat, and muttered: "I've been waiting for that day for Yu Fengluan for a long, long time!"
