Aoden and Sauron couldn't take their eyes back for a long time as they watched the five thousand elite cavalry who were lightly dressed and simple disappearing on the horizon of the vast grassland.
Although the grasslands and deserts are vast and easy to get lost, Aoden was very thoughtful. The five thousand cavalry following them always changed a group of people every two days.
On the one hand, it is because both humans and horses need to rest, and no one can bear the endless running. On the other hand, the guards following them always know the local terrain best.
So not only did they not waste any time along the way, they didn't even take any detours.
Although the five thousand elite cavalry were later reduced to one thousand when crossing the desert, these thousand people have lived on the desert border all year round and are very aware of the situation in the desert. The speed is much slower than when crossing the grassland, but the whole journey is still
It was relatively smooth.
It was expected that it would take 20 days to complete the grassland and desert. Under the leadership of these local soldiers who were familiar with the terrain, they successfully passed it on the 15th day.
The originally extremely hot climate in the desert became extremely cold just after crossing the desert.
One moment the soldiers were shirtless, and the next moment they were wearing cotton coats.
Soldiers familiar with the terrain said that this was the reason they had entered the Tianshan Mountains.
When they arrived at the Tianshan Mountains, Mo Zihan no longer rushed, but ordered the soldiers to take them to the homes of the people who had lived near the Tianshan Mountains all year round.
"Empress, this Xiaojia Village is the closest village to Tianshan Mountain," a soldier reported.
"Ask the patriarch to ask the oldest people to come to the car. I have something to ask."
"yes."
After a while, Chief Xiao came to the chariot with the five oldest old men in the village.
After skipping some bowing and greetings, Mo Zihan got straight to the point.
"Dear elderly people, the emperor has been poisoned, and we are going to go to Tianshan Mountain to find an antidote. Since we don't know much about Tianshan Mountain, I wanted to ask you.
It is said that this Tianshan Mountain is very evil. There were many martial arts people with strong martial arts who wanted to conquer Tianshan Mountain, but no one could come down. I wonder if this statement is really true?"
"To tell you the truth, this Tianshan Mountain is indeed evil. The legends outside are indeed true. No one who wants to climb to the top of the mountain can make it down alive."
"The people who wanted to reach the top of the mountain didn't come down? You mean, the people who entered the Tianshan Mountains but didn't reach the top came out alive?"
"That's right. Our Xiaojiacun is the closest village to the Tianshan Mountains. It can be said that our livelihood has been dependent on the Tianshan Mountains for generations.
The strong men in the village hunt in the mountains all year round. As long as they are less than halfway up the mountain, there is no problem in hunting or collecting rare herbs at the foot of the mountain."
"Have any of you ever been halfway up the mountain?" Tuoli asked.
"Yes. There are four villagers in the village who are good at boxing and kicking. They went to the mountainside, but except for one person who came back, the other three people all died."
"Call that man over. I have something to ask him."
"To report to the Emperor, this person fell from the mountain. Although he was lucky enough to survive, he injured his head and lost his memory. Because he knew that the Emperor was going to Tianshan, the common people found him.
