The dim light in the night was half hidden and half hidden, and was covered by the thick ink-like shade.

Shu Jiang and his group were eventually asked to get off the carriage, saying that they would start from here and they would have to go up the mountain.

Chen Wu frowned and stood beside Shu Ying, looking at the bearded man and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, my lady is very expensive, so it is a bit difficult to walk up the mountain! I wonder if there is a sedan chair?"

"No!" The bearded man shook his head directly. After looking at Shu Yan from the corner of his eyes, he said: "There are deep ravines on the east and south sides of our village, and only this north path can be reached up the mountain... The carriage must not be able to move forward. As for the sedan... Where can there be such things in our village? If the lady is really weak in physical strength, she can ride a horse..."

Chen Wu frowned and looked at Shu Yan.

"The horse is OK, I can ride it!" Shu Ying looked up at the direction of the light that was obviously a little distance away, and quickly nodded and said to Chen Wu, "Look for me for a horse!"

Chen Wu nodded silently, took the horse he was riding to Shu Yan, and handed it to Dian Chu and said, "Be careful."

Dian Chu nodded quickly and took the reins. After watching Shu Ying climbing onto the horse by himself, he smiled relaxedly and asked the bearded man: "Even carriages can't go up the mountain, so what should we do with our things and carriage?"

"We have a house on the other side, so we can put the carriage there first!" The bearded man said to Dian Chu honestly, "There is very safe over there, don't worry!"

Dian Chu frowned in disbelief and asked again: "Since there is so safe there, why do we still have to go up the mountain? Why don't you just take us to the place where you carriages are put?"

"There is no place to rest." The beard looked at Dian Chu and said seriously to her: "The second head said that the lady is a noble person, so it is natural to rest at night. Our village has already cleaned up the room for the lady. The lady can rest at night and have time to leave with Lord Ji tomorrow!"

Dian Chu pouted, as if he was a little dissatisfied with this answer.

Shu Ying nodded and said slowly: "Thank you, the second in command, over there........ I hope you can keep it for us..."

"Miss, don't worry!" The bearded man nodded quickly, stepped forward in two steps, and then said to Shu Ying and others: "Miss, please follow us!"

"Okay! Dian Chu, let's go!" Shu Chang replied, watching Dian Chu lead his horse and lead him all the way up the mountain.

The path to the north is indeed a path, only about five feet away. The steps were built with different stones. Various big trees were planted on both sides, growing straight into the clouds, covering up the trail.

The horse stepped forward, and the horse's sole fell on the stone, making a series of crisp sounds, especially in the night.

The bearded man walked for a while, but suddenly turned his head and looked at the back of the team, as if he was a little uneasy.

Chen Wu looked at the bearded man and waited until he turned his head and looked at it three or four times before he quickly came to Shu Ying again and whispered to her: "Miss, I'm afraid something will happen!"

Shu Yan looked puzzled.

"Miss, be careful!" Chen Wu didn't say much, and then he clenched the short knife in his hand after giving Shu a word, intentionally starting to slow down.

The bearded man seemed to see Chen Wu's plan, and then turned around and walked to the side of him in two steps. While signaling him to follow quickly, he said, "We have passed halfway through the mountain, and those ferocious beasts will not chase after him easily... You don't have to be so alert!"

"Don't be wary? What if something happens?" Chen Wu looked at the bearded man with a serious look.

"Everyone said that those ferocious beasts will not come up, so you can rest assured!" The bearded man smiled and patted the shoulders of Chen Wu, who was afraid of Chen Wu. Seeing him without hesitation, he immediately turned the short knife in his hand towards him. The smile on the bearded man's face turned cold and said to Chen Wu: "Follow us, you don't have to be so uneasy!"

Chen Wu looked at the bearded man's eyes, and after a while, he put away the short knife and said coldly: "Whether you are together or not, it is my responsibility to protect the lady, so I will do it well! Besides, how do you know that those ferocious beasts dare not come up the mountain?"

"Since we settled here, those ferocious beasts have never crossed the edge!" The bearded man looked at Chen Wu with a gloomy face, and then continued: "If we really crossed the line, we will do our best to complete the entrustment to Lord Ji."

Chen Wu glanced at the bearded man deeply, then said, "It's a man... but I hope everything is as you said..."

The bearded man nodded, watched Chen Wu rush back to Shu Ying's side, and whispered to her a few words. Shu Ying nodded silently, and did not say much, then he breathed a sigh of relief, followed the last side of the team, and circled along the trail for a long time before finally reaching the destination.

This village was built in a forest on the top of the mountain, living along the forest, with about a hundred houses built.

Dozens of people were already waiting before Shu Yan and the others stepped into the village.

"Miss, please follow us." Several women in coarse cloth rubbed their hands, and shouted at Shu Ying and Dian Chu in a nervous and stuttering tone. After watching Shu Ying dismount, they took them to the village and whispered: "The Second Head of the Army has been waiting... The Miss needs to meet our Second Head of the Army first!"

Shu Qing said yes, followed the women and quickly stepped into the mountain village, followed the gravel path in the village to the depths, and finally stopped in front of a big house.

Several men looked at Shu Ying with a serious expression, bowed neatly and said, "Please be in there for a lady!"

Chen Wu looked into the brightly lit room, walked in front of Shu Yan without hesitation, and led her into the room together.

After entering the door, you can see a huge main hall. On the wall opposite the door is a picture of a tiger roar. Below the picture is a brown carved wooden table with some fruits and snacks on it, and two brown carved armchairs.

There are also small tables and plain chairs on both sides of the house, and there is nothing else except a few tea cups on it.
