Chapter 583: Kunlun (I)
Cao Yi's crooked brush words, Chen Ao will never admit mistakes. From this point of view, Cao Yi actually guessed that something had happened, and actually took Liang Xiaoya and Yun Lu away.
Chen Ao couldn't figure out how Cao Yi could have such vigilance and be able to predict it. It turned out that yesterday Chen Ao fooled Yang Feihu and Pi Youlong, and when he wanted the two to return to the Central Plains, he could find a way to get rid of the people arranged by the Zoroastrian in Xiazhou, which could be regarded as eliminating a disaster for the Central Plains.
Yang and Pi were really fooled, and they couldn't wait to resign to Cao Yi and hurriedly returned to the Central Plains with their children.
Cao Yi suddenly became suspicious of the two, but he couldn't figure out what went wrong. Later, he accompanied Sang Lun and Jalali to drink together and drank until midnight. Originally, he went back to his residence to sleep, but Sang Lun had a hobby of watching the sky at night. Ever since he figured out the theory of the end of the world, he has become even more out of control, always looking up at the sky every night, and the gods are chattering for a while.
Cao Yi is no stranger to this. However, he suddenly remembered Chen Ao, and contacted the departure of Yang Feihu and the others, and Cao Yi suddenly felt uneasy. He sent someone to the stone prison to see if Chen Ao was doing something again. This look really found that Chen Ao was no longer in prison.
Cao Yi's heart was shocked, and he knew that if he let Chen Ao escape, he might make a situation again. He is now bent on realizing time and space travel as soon as possible and returning to the future to enjoy happiness, and he is unwilling to entangle with Chen Ao. So Cao Yi persuaded Sang Lun, and the two rushed to the stone prison with people to see what was going on.
At this look, Cao Yi found that the person in the prison turned out to be Yunlu. He was overjoyed and immediately decided to return to the Central Plains with Yunlu. And Liang Xiaoya naturally couldn't hold it back, and appeared to stop Cao Yi. Helplessly, Cao Yi had many masters around him, and he also captured her.
Cao Yi knew that since Chen Ao had escaped, there would definitely be great changes in Zoroastrianism. He was short of manpower and didn't want to have a senseless fight with Chen Ao, so he deceived Sang Lun, and the group set out on the way back to the east before dawn.
Chen Ao inquired from the cell boss about the time of their departure, and after a cursory calculation, Cao Yi and the others were probably already leaving the Persian border and entering the Khalkhanate Kingdom. Even if you hurry up, you may not be able to catch up.
His heart was in a mess, so Zhao Ling persuaded: "Don't worry about it first. I have already informed Feng Hu and Qin Lang in the city. They're ready, and as soon as things are settled on our side, they'll be on the road right away. ”
Chen Aomuran nodded. Xuan Ning also said: "Cao Yi's purpose is for you to follow him to Kunlun Mountain, and it shouldn't hurt Yunlu and Xiaoya's sister." ”
Chen Ao sighed and looked up to see Lan Yuyan hurrying over. She had already changed into a outfit to go out of the house, and Chen Ao knew that Smael's side must have taken care of everything for him. Chen Ao no longer went to say goodbye to everyone, and went down the mountain with a few women.
Meet Feng Hu, Qin Lang and others in the city. The crowd hadn't seen each other for a long time, sighed for a while, bought dry food, and prepared to go on the road. When the Han merchants in the city learned that Chen Ao would return to the Central Plains, they also came to see him off. Chen Ao is not rude, so it is convenient for these people to be polite for a while.
By the time we set off, it was already early afternoon. Feng Hu found an older guide and asked for the quickest way to Kunlun from here. The group did not walk along the trade road, but went straight to Kunlun Mountain.
All the way to the dawn and overnight, hurry up. Half a month later, the road became rough and difficult to navigate. The further you go to the southeast, the less accessible the people become, and the higher the terrain, the more difficult the road becomes. Chen Ao asked the natives in the mountains and learned that this place had entered the Kunlun Mountains.
Looking at the mountains, Chen Ao had a clear mind. It was also the first time he had returned to such a place, and a sense of desolation swelled up in the ground. I want to come to this era by myself, go south and north, go through all kinds of hardships and hardships, and wander on the edge of life and death. Whenever you are in a very thrilling place, you can always turn the danger into a disaster.
Thinking of this, a wave of pride rose in Chen Ao's heart. Although the mountains in front of you are steep, you may not be able to overcome these obstacles!
Chen Ao ordered the people to set up camp at the foot of the mountain. Since the mountains stretch for thousands of miles, I don't know where the ghost hall that Cao Yi did is. Instead of wandering around the mountains in a group, it is better to look for them separately.
So dozens of people divided their directions and went out every day to look for traces. After searching for more than ten days, Feng Hu suddenly came to report, saying that he had heard from the hunters in the mountains that more than 100 miles ahead, there were many Han people haunting, and it seemed that they were building a lot of buildings.
Chen Ao guessed that it must be the place to look. He sent Feng Hu to lead people to quietly touch it and draw a map.
The group spent the night studying a rough map, devised some contingency measures, and set off for there. After walking for most of the day, I saw a mountain wind rising suddenly from a distance, with a tall tower erected on the top of the mountain, and many stone buildings around.
When we reached the foot of the mountain, a fence was piled up on the road ahead to seal the road. In the arrow tower behind the fence, someone shouted: "What people!"
Chen Ao stepped forward and said, "Tell your family Master Cao, just say that I, Chen Ao, am here!"
The people in the arrow tower obviously knew about Chen Ao. Immediately, someone rode his horse and hurried up the mountain. After a while, a group of people came down from the mountain, led by Cao Yi.
Cao Yi came to the back of the fence, and when he saw that it was Chen Ao, and his group of wives, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Chen Ao, you are really affectionate and righteous, for the sake of the two girls, you really came!"
Chen Ao snorted coldly and said, "Less nonsense." I'm here, let them go!"
Cao Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's go up the mountain!"
Chen Ao glanced at him coldly, thinking to himself, this bastard doesn't know what he's doing. Although he knew that after going up the mountain, there would be many dangers, but in order to save people, he had to go deep into the tiger's den.
He turned back to Zhao Ling and glanced at him, then dismounted and walked forward.
Walking to the fence, Cao Yi smiled and said, "And you ladies, why don't you go up the mountain together?"
Chen Ao frowned and said, "Cao Yi, the grievances between me and you are none of the business of others!"
Cao Yi said: "Chen Ao, I know that your ladies are all powerful, and if you don't go up the mountain together, you are really a little relieved." Let me tell you the truth, we have now reached the most critical moment. In a day or two, or three or five days, I can make it. At this time, I don't want to have another incident!"
He said, raising his hand. Behind him, more than a dozen people had one end of their hands, each with a repeater. The crossbow arrow flashed coldly, facing Chen Ao, Zhao Ling and the others. Chen Ao's heart jumped, with so many crossbow arrows, coupled with the fact that this mountain road is narrow and difficult to walk, Zhao Ling and the others are bound to be unable to dodge.
He sighed helplessly, reflexively returned to his own phalanx, discussed for a while, and then went down the mountain together. Cao Yi was cautious and sent someone to confiscate the blades and weapons of Feng Hu and the others, and only then did he let a few people in.
The group went up the mountain along the steps of the mountain road, and those men with crossbows did not relax for a moment, dozens of steps away from everyone, and always aimed their crossbow arrows at Chen Ao and others. In such a situation, even with Long Qingping's skills, it is difficult to ensure that he does not hurt anyone. Chen Ao had no choice but to say nothing and walk sullenly.
