Looking at the direction Tang Ruoxue was leaving, Ye Fan subconsciously repeated two words.
Feeling Ye Fan's confusion, Zhao Tianbao coughed and said:
"Gou Jian is Shen Zhanshuai's most admired and favorite idol."
"He likes to recall the difficult days when he was on the verge of life and death, and he also likes to show his growth from a lowly barbarian boy to a generation of war god."
"Suffering hardships, enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens, three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu, so this became his motto."
"So storytellers or artists in teahouses on the border compiled the story of Shen Zhanshuai into a storytelling "The Legend of Shen Shuai" and circulated it."
"Everyone praised Shen Zhanshuai's tenacity and growth, but also lamented that Gou Jian existed in ancient times, and Shen Zhanshuai now exists."
Zhao Tianbao told Ye Fan everything he knew: "When you arrive at Yanmen Pass, you will find many traces similar to Gou Jian's."
"Understood."
Ye Fan nodded lightly, and then asked playfully: "Do you want to go directly to Yanmen Pass with me?"
"I can see that you still have quite a brotherly relationship with Shen Qiye."
"If you tell him the reason for your betrayal, maybe he will forgive you for the mistake you made, and maybe you can resolve the entanglement in your heart?"
Ye Fan said calmly: "At least, you won't bear the pain now?"
Zhao Tianbao hesitated for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile:
"There's no need for that!"
"No matter how hard I feel about brotherhood, no matter how much Shen Zhanshuai has no choice, the hatred of family and clan is there bloody."
"I did not retaliate against the Shen family at all costs. I have already regretted the death of my family."
"If I laugh away my grudges with Commander Shen again, I will be a descendant of the Zhao family in vain."
"And I actually stabbed the Shen family and brought the enemy in from the bunker."
"East Wolf and West Python, they probably already hate me to the core."
"My appearance in front of them is tantamount to posing a problem for Shen Zhanshuai."
"If you forgive me, I will be sorry for the dead nephew of the Shen family, and it will also make Donglang and the others angry."
"If you don't forgive me, it will appear that he is not magnanimous as a war commander, and he will also be considered as a man who wants to kill everyone."
"So there is no need for me to go to Yanmen Pass."
"Take me to the Dragon Slaughter Hall. I will tell you whatever you want to know."
Zhao Tianbao exhaled a long breath: "I just ask Tang Ruoxue to give me a happy one month later."
Seeing Zhao Tianbao like this, Ye Fan didn't insist anymore and waved his hand to Yuan Qingyi to take Zhao Tianbao away.
Then he packed up some weapons and continued on his way with Shen Hua and the four girls.
Although Shen Hua and the other four girls were a little tired, they still followed Ye Fan for safety reasons.
In the next more than twenty hours, Ye Fan and the other five people traveled over mountains and ridges, across rivers and wading water, without stopping.
During this period, he encountered several attacks from venomous snakes and wild beasts, but was killed by Ye Fan without any suspense.
If Ye Fan hadn't been in such a hurry, one of the wild boars would have been roasted.
With Ye Fan's protection, the four girls Shen Hua felt safer than ever before. Not only were they full of admiration for Ye Fan, but they also lost their former timidity.
They use their hands and feet to clear the way and proactively handle crises on the road.
In their perception, no matter what they did well or not, whether it was dangerous or not, Ye Fan always had the answer.
This allowed Shen Hua's four girls to grow up visibly, and they were no longer just vassal girls among Shen Chu's singers.
Along the way, the four girls develop the courage to stand alone.
This not only made Ye Fan happy, but also made him feel a lot more relaxed.
At dusk on the third day, Ye Fan and the four girls Shen Hua appeared at a big bend on the Ancient Tea Horse Road.
When Ye Fan asked Shen Hua and the others to drink water and rest on the spot, Shen Hua happily pointed to a hill in front and shouted.
"That's Duan Tou Ridge, that's Duan Tou Ridge."
"Master Ye, we are almost at Yanmen Pass."
"As long as we cross the Duantou Ridge, we will reach the border area. We are only fifteen kilometers away from Yanmen Pass."
"When we arrive at the border area, we can call Shen Zhanshuai. We no longer have to worry about exposing our position to the World Chamber of Commerce."
"We can also ask Warlord Shen and others to send someone to pick us up then."
"We can finally take a breath."
Shen Hua had a happy face, and the other three women were also extremely excited.
These days have been dangerous and torturous, and they are too eager for a comfortable environment to relax themselves.
Shen Qi Gulu drank a large bottle of pure water:
"Master Ye, we're only a few kilometers away. We don't need to rest. Let's climb over Duan Tou Ridge."
"Maybe it's safe to reach the border area. Let's call Shen Zhanshuai and the others and take a good rest."
She added: "If we go faster, we might be able to eat at Yanmenguan."
Ye Fan stood up and looked at Duan Tou Ridge with focused gaze, and then spoke in a calm tone:
"Rest where you are and don't rush."
"And we need to have a good rest and recharge our batteries before heading over to Duan Tou Ridge at ten o'clock in the evening."
Ye Fan stared at the gloomy and quiet Duoling Ridge and made a decision.
Shen Hua was slightly startled: "Master Ye, why is this?"
Shen Qi also looked hesitant: "Doesn't it mean that we won't be able to arrive at Yanmen Pass until tomorrow morning?"
She also fantasized about taking a nice milk bath tonight.
Ye Fan lay back on the stone to relax.
Then he looked at the four graceful girls and smiled: "I have taught you a lot of things along the way, but you have forgotten them so quickly."
Shen Hua pursed his lips and said, "The quieter the place, the more likely it is that poisonous snakes are lurking."
Shen Qi also stopped smiling: "The closer you are to victory, the more cautious you must be."
Shen Shu also pursed his lips: "The smoother the situation, the more likely there will be a big pit ahead."
Ye Fan nodded slightly, then stared at Duan Tou Ridge ahead and said:
"That's right, we are on the last step now, be careful and win just a little slower, it won't affect the overall situation."
"On the contrary, if you get carried away and rush for quick success, you will easily capsize in the gutter."
"No one is around in the mountains and forests near Shenjiabao, and Zhao Tianbao has also lost contact. Tiemu Wuyue will definitely be able to determine that we are evacuating from the Tea Horse Road."
"On this road, apart from the place where Zhao Tianbao appeared, which is convenient for an ambush, there is only Duan Tou Ridge where we can attack us on a large scale."
"We are excited now, feeling that we are about to be safe, and thinking about the delicious food tonight, which means we have relaxed our nerves and lost our vigilance."
"We are rushing to Duolingling at this time. It doesn't matter if there is no ambush. If there are really enemies, what will happen to us?"
"With a state of losing vigilance and a tired body after two days of rushing, what are the chances of winning against the enemy's elite who are waiting for help?"
Ye Fan's tone became sharp: "You four will definitely die, and even I may escape death."
boom!
Hearing Ye Fan's analysis, Shen Hua's four girls' bodies trembled, and their excited faces became solemn.
They received a huge impact.
Yes, if there is an enemy ambush at Duan Tou Ridge, rushing over at this moment would be no less than self-destruction.
Ye Fan continued to look at the four girls and said: "We have been traveling smoothly for the past two days without any enemy pursuit."
"Is this normal for Temu Wuyue who wants me dead?"
"Even if there are no enemies who cannot pursue us on a large scale along the Tea Horse Road, Temu Wuyue can still use helicopters to airdrop soldiers along the way."
"Once our trace is confirmed or locked, Temu Wuyue can use helicopters to clear the ground all the way."
"In this way, even if we can avoid the helicopter attack, we will be delayed by the helicopter, giving the enemy enough time to catch up."
"But during these two days' journey, there was not a single enemy, not a single helicopter, not a single drone for reconnaissance."
"This shows that Temu Wuyue disdains such petty fights and is preparing a thunderous strike."
"So there is probably someone from the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce hiding in Duan Tou Ridge."
"Of course, if Tiemu Wuyue gives up on me, there will be no enemies in Duan Tou Ridge, and we won't have any big losses."
Ye Fan focused his gaze on Guantou Ridge ahead: "The only price is that dinner becomes breakfast, but at least his life is not in danger."
In Ye Fan's heart, Tie Mu Wuyue would definitely not let him go easily.
Shen Hua and the other four girls all nodded heavily when they heard this, obviously thinking that what Ye Fan said was reasonable.
"Master Ye, I'm sorry, it's just that we are about to return home."
Shen Hua exhaled a long breath: "Then let's rest now and quietly explore the road at night?"
Ye Fan smiled: "Take a break, but before you take a break, go find something for me..."
