Afternoon.

The sun is shining brightly, and the sky is colorful.

The clouds have long since erased the hustle and bustle of last night.

"Whoa..."

Fangcun west, 360 miles southeast of Yumu Village.

The river is surging endlessly, like a galloping herd of cattle pouring down all the way. The tough rocks are like dragon's teeth protruding from the river, and the boats are speeding like arrows in the rapids. The excitement of last night had gradually subsided, and the northerners on the boat had finally regained a little regain their spirit after several hours of rest. It's just that the rowing candidates have not rested for seven days and nights, and their bodies are even more exhausted. Thankfully, they were supported by a big victory that would go down in history. Even if they are not the protagonists, thinking about their lives and being able to participate in such a brilliant colorful color can invisibly eliminate a lot of fatigue.

It is far from Yumu Village.

The surging dark green river water roars all the way from the Beijiang River in Yumuzhai to the east. The scenery on both sides of the river has long since changed from dense forests and hills to cliffs and mountains. Standing in the middle of the river, looking around, the majestic and stretching mountains, very few tall trees grow, only the low vegetation is stingy dotted with mountain rocks. The dangerous peaks are handsome, the rapids are turbulent, and the water not far from the south bank naturally forms a whirlpool with high waves and deep abyss, and the whirlpool of "woo" whistles and wails, as if telling the comer about the danger lurking in the shadows.

"Find less, wake up..."

The tiredness accumulated over the days makes people sleep soundly even in even the slightest harsh environment.

A slight shout awakens the person who is intoxicated by a sweet dream.

When I woke up, the sky was white, the light boat had passed the ten thousand mountains, and the wolf smoke of last night seemed to have been left in a dream, like a dream bubble, passing by the clouds.

The handle gently rubbed his sleepy eyes, slowly sat up, looked at the surroundings again, and asked, "Where are we?"

Major Du moistened the towel with river water and handed it to Xia Xun through the gap between the two boats: "I have already arrived at the Beiwang Mountain Range, and there are still thirty miles to the salamander realm, so you can find a shoal to go ashore." ”

"Oh. ”

Xia Xun nodded, took the towel handed over, and carefully scrubbed the tired cheeks that were still left.

The icy coolness instantly invaded his heart, and he quickly cleared up the confusion in Xia Xun's mind by seven points.

After a little refreshment, Xia Xun glanced at the dozens of boats speeding nearby. Looking at the northerners who were woken up one after another, he thought for a while and asked, "What was unusual last night?"

Du Shao replied: "Near the morning, more than two hundred miles away from the southeast, there were sixty broken jade rays of light appearing one after another, and they stopped at the dawn, and it is estimated that the forces around here are fighting. Other than that, there is nothing out of the ordinary. ”

Gargle...

Xia Xun thought more cautiously.

Put down the towel, took the wooden bowl placed in the dark layer of the boat, scooped up the bowl of river water to gargle the dry mouth, and then thought about it for a moment before saying lightly: "This is not far from the salamander, the southeast is the direction of Rongtianling, Yumu Village only underwent great changes last night, and ordinary people will choose to stop and watch." The one who can fight at this time is either a mortal enemy or a strongman, and it can also be implicated in the events of last night. Let's hope it doesn't come for us. ”

"I hope so..."

Dushao doesn't seem so confident. He glanced at the dozens of candidates who were rowing, and said cautiously: "After days of fierce fighting, everyone is tired. These brothers have not rested for a long time. Elite soldiers need to be raised, and we should be conservative when it comes to Salamander. Waiting for the medicine from outside to be delivered, everyone will slowly heal the injury, and it is not too late for us to make plans for the next step. ”

"Yes. Xia Xun nodded: "I agree." ”

"The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while, if there is no major event, let's rest. It's just that although the salamander land is dangerous, it is not suitable for camping, and it is far from the river and it is troublesome to hunt and eat, have you arranged all the things I explained before?"

"Yes. ”

Du Shao also nodded: "It has been arranged a long time ago." As you said when you came, dig dozens of holes in the walls of the two mountains, hoard half of the horses, and put half of the grass there, so that we can live there. Moreover, during this time, the river fish we caught have been made into cured meat, plus the remaining grain and grass, we can also boil for more than half a month. It's the water source trouble, you ordered me to look for a stream nearby, but the people I sent didn't find it. Recently, I watched the sky at night, and I didn't necessarily see the rain, and if I needed to fetch water in the future, I was afraid that I would have to run more than ten miles to get it. ”

"Uh..."

Xia Xun reluctantly sank his face: "This is really troublesome, if you want to take a bath in the future, you have to run for more than ten miles." ”

"No trouble, no trouble. ”

"Uh..."

As soon as Xia Xun showed a bitter color, Jia Haoren, who was a few boats away, shouted from a distance: "Xun Shao, you have this on me." If you want to take a bath in the future, call me, and I will make sure to get you some water in advance. ”

“......”

At this time, Jia Haoren's expression was very different from last night.

The smile is genuine, and there is no pretense in the slightest.

And the reason is simple...

Because his heart was carefree at this time.

Last night, after Xia Xunling led people to evacuate Yumu Village along the river, the first thing he did was to repair a letter to make the blue bird send out Fang Cun. The content of the letter is just two words -- success. And what he did was his agreement with Xia Xun. The reason why Jia Haoren defected last night was actually forced to be helpless. It's just that his father and mother's family of twelve people in his hometown in Ammonia were all taken down by Huang Qi a few days ago. Xia Xun handed Jia Haoren a handwritten letter from his father at that time, and when he saw the letter, he fell into tears and knelt down on the spot to beg for mercy. And now that everything is a foregone conclusion, Xia Xun fulfilled his promise, and hid all Jia Haoren's family under the wings of the Huang family to prevent the royal family from retaliating. This also makes Jia Haoren no longer have any worries, and he is as free and easy as he is now.

When thinking about the conversation, the light boat is like an arrow and more than ten miles.

In a shallow beach with a slightly less reef, Xia Xun's people packed up and landed on the shore.

Since they needed to travel lightly last night, and they were in a hurry, they didn't even have time to bring a few pieces of clothing, except for the meat and blades that had been pickled for days. So much so that dozens of small boats docked, each of them carrying a knife and axe in their hands, and a string of cured meat still dripping with oil and water on their backs, and they could leave in a dashing manner. From a distance, the hundreds of people and horses in this vast soup soup looked as if they had just returned home from hunting on that mountain, with tired steps but talking and laughing between words, which was quite interesting.

It's just that fate always likes to joke with people.

Soon they won't be able to laugh anymore...

Desperate life, life is another desperate situation.

They didn't know that in fact, from the first day they stepped into the Heavenly Examination Hall, Heaven tied their fate to the death with the never-ending struggle. They can't run away or hide, so they can only grit their teeth and knock fate to the ground with one punch and one kick.

Stepping over its corpse...
