Hearing this, Nan Yanxi scratched her head in embarrassment: "Isn't this... I have nothing to do recently. I am idle."
"Besides...what if? Right...hehe..."
Mu Qingyan couldn't help but smile. He really didn't have much to do on the mountain recently, so he might as well go and relax.
However, he still warned: "Go further in, and there will be many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. Do you have any medical skills?"
When everyone heard this, they all shook their heads.
Nan Yanxi looked back and scratched her head sheepishly: "Uh... I didn't... forget..."
Mu Qingyan looked at him helplessly and sighed.
Turning to Lu Yingying, she said, "Yingying, take the people back first. I'll go with them."
"Don't forget to tell your adoptive father and the others."
Lu Yingying nodded in agreement and handed over a small bag.
"Then be careful on the road...come back early!"
After saying that, he led the people towards the service camp.
Everyone listened to Mu Qingyan's suggestion and went to the deepest farm first to get some necessary supplies.
It is mainly powdered to prevent insects and snakes, and the calf and feet are wrapped in calfskin to prevent venomous snakes from attacking.
The small bag that Lu Yingying handed over contained some detoxifying pills and powders.
There are all kinds of common poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, miasma in the mountains and forests, etc.
Seeing Mu Qingyan's preparation, Nan Yanxi called her professional.
"Awesome, sister Mu, I didn't even think about it."
Mu Qingyan smiled and poked his head: "You, you always think of the same thing."
"If it's so easy to get in here, why haven't these mountain hunters dared to go too deep after all these years?"
"Deep mountains and old forests, hundreds of miles away, uninhabited."
"That's why you have to go in and take a look?" Nan Yanxi chuckled.
"This deep mountain has been uninhabited for many years. Maybe there will be surprises."
Mu Qingyan curled her lips, not denying it, but still a little worried.
After all, this vast 800-mile-long Qinglian Mountain Range has been an uninhabited land for hundreds of years.
Deep mountains and old forests, miasma in swamps, poisonous insects and ferocious beasts.
I’m not sure about other places, I’m just talking about Yuzhou.
The nearby mountain people only dare to go inside for twenty or thirty miles, and no one dares to go in any deeper.
A few years ago, the young master of a local squire went hunting with six or seven experienced hunters.
Due to my greed for fun, I got too involved by mistake, and there was no news after that.
The old man cried and came to beg Nangong Wenjian. There was no other way, so everyone organized a team of 200 people.
After venturing deep into the mountains, they only found the young master's broken limbs and pieces of clothing.
The old man was so worried about his son that he lost his temper on the spot.
After that, the people were even more afraid of him.
Even the nearby orchards and farms have nearly a hundred troops stationed here.
One is to strengthen courage, and the other is to drive away wild beasts.
After listening to Mu Qingyan's description, Nan Yanxi couldn't help but feel frightened.
But the more this happened, the more curious he became.
Moreover, exploring this mountain range will be very effective in using troops against Daxia and even Dayan in the future.
After thinking about it, he immediately asked Mu Qingyan to mobilize a thousand service battalions to come here.
After entering as a group, they will leave marks along the way.
Order the service battalion to follow their marks, cut down trees and bushes along the way, and mark a recommended mountain road.
Instead of setting up a simple transfer station three miles away, ten people were left to guard it.
Then, a thousand support camps will be deployed to provide supplies to each transfer station every day.
In this way, the safety of your team is improved as much as possible.
If there are ten people for every three miles, then a thousand people will be three hundred miles.
The Qinglian Mountain Range is said to be eight hundred miles away. If it is three hundred miles away, it is basically considered as entering the hinterland.
Just do it, Mu Qingyan immediately ordered his subordinates, sent orders to mobilize people, and started working.
Lu Yingying and Ying Yue led the troops to support them outside.
With everything ready, twenty people including Nan Yanxi, Mu Qingyan and others gradually entered the Qinglian Mountains.
It was okay for the first twenty or thirty miles after entering. There were small mountain roads for a few days, and you could occasionally see mountain people doing activities.
But as we go deeper, the weeds and shrubs on both sides of the road gradually become denser.
After walking about fifty miles inward, the trees above our heads had already blocked out the sky and sun.
There was no road left, so everyone looked for a flat place and walked forward slowly.
There were several guards holding machetes in their hands to clear the way ahead, and everyone was on guard with firecrackers and crossbows.
About twenty miles deeper again, the light began to gradually dim.
Nan Yanxi knew she could not continue walking, so she waved her hand to stop the team.
"Find a flat area, clear it out and prepare to camp, dig holes around it and sprinkle insect repellent powder!"
"Yes!" The ten guards agreed and began to clean up the camp.
And a few old masters and foreigners began to study.
Walk around the neighborhood, throw away soil, and turn over stones.
They used small hammers and pickaxes to knock on the stones, throw them around, and gather together to murmur from time to time.
It really looks like that.
Not far away, suddenly there was a cry of muntjac.
The two hunters looked at each other, smiled, cupped their hands towards Nan Yanxi, and then chased the sound.
Nan Yanxi smiled calmly, it seemed that there was no need to eat solid food tonight.
Sitting on a large bluestone, he tidied the cowhide on his feet.
"You kid, why did you take the risk of running here?"
When Nan Yanxi looked up, it turned out that Mu Qingyan was walking over.
He walked to the seat next to him, stretched out his hand and handed over a water bag: "Is it really just to find some mineral deposits that you go through so much trouble?"
Nan Yanxi took it, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Don't tell me, I really have this idea."
"No matter what kind of copper ore, iron ore, gold or silver ore, aluminum ore, jade or coal mine, it will all work!"
Mu Qingyan smiled half-heartedly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Nan Yanxi's, as if she wanted to see through his heart.
"If you don't tell the truth, believe it or not, I will beat you up! Are you stupid to be a sister? Say it quickly!"
Looking at Mu Qingyan's beautiful face, Nan Yanxi smiled helplessly. It's not good for this woman to be too smart.
Turning around and looking around, I saw no one around.
Nan Yanxi leaned over and lowered her voice: "Of course there are other purposes."
"Whether it's our Yuzhou map or the entire Daxia map, there is no record of this area."
"But judging from the location, the Qinglian Mountains lead to Yanzhou, Dongzhou, and most likely to Dayan."
"If we can find a way out, and if there is a war in the future, we can make a surprise attack from here, and it will definitely be miraculous!"
Hearing what he said, Mu Qingyan suddenly realized.
"I see, that's why you mobilized so many troops, right?"
"Yes!" Nan Yanxi nodded: "Even if I don't find anything this time."
"As long as we can figure out the route, it's not a worthwhile trip."
"Moreover, I have read the village chronicles of several nearby mountain villages."
"There are quite a few records that a city appeared here hundreds of years ago!"
"Later, for some unknown reason, there were gaps in all these village records."
"Yes, yes..." Mu Qingyan suddenly spoke, interrupting Nan Yanxi's words.
"Does the record say it was a thousand years ago?"
"What else do you say about the earth shaking, the mountains shaking, the flat ground flying up, the immortals getting angry, and so on?"
