Long Chen and his group rode horses and slowly arrived not far away. Feng He looked up and asked, "Is it here?"
The guide Yi He quickly took out the telescope from his arms, pretended to look at Crouching Tiger Ridge, and then solemnly nodded and said: "Yes, this is it!"
Mu Zhen couldn't help but mocked: "A mountain is so big, why do you use your clairvoyance to show off!"
Yi He carefully put away the telescope and let out a snort of contempt.
"I'm just showing off, so what!"
This telescope was given to Yi He by Long Chen. The last time Long Chen used it, Yi He liked it very much after seeing it out of curiosity, so Long Chen gave it to Yi He as a reward.
Yi He was very happy to get the telescope, and Mu Zhen drooled with envy.
Gan Xin looked at Crouching Tiger Ridge and said, "Why do I think it looks like a tortoise lying on the ground?"
Mo Lin smiled and said: "I feel like a bastard too."
Feng He took out the drawing he got and said, "I heard that it looks different from different angles."
"Wohu Ridge is the name of the barbarians, and some people from the Central Plains call this place Wangbashan."
The reason why the barbarians and the Central Plains people have different names is very simple. There are many things like turtles in the Central Plains, but they are rare in the grasslands. Therefore, the barbarians call it Crouching Tiger Mountain, while the Central Plains people call it Wangbashan.
Long Chen looked around to see if there were any herdsmen nearby.
If you can find local people, you can serve as a guide after entering the mountain.
"It looks like there's no one around, and no animal hoof prints are seen."
Yi He squinted his eyes and looked around, but saw no traces of cattle, sheep and horses.
If there are herdsmen around, when the spring snow melts and grass begins to sprout, cattle, sheep and horses will definitely come out to graze.
There are no signs here, indicating that there are no herdsmen around.
"Then you have to find it yourself."
Pinching the horse's belly with his legs, Long Chen walked forward, followed by Gan Xin and others towards Crouching Tiger Ridge.
Crouching Tiger Ridge was in front of me, and after walking for two hours, I finally reached the foot of the mountain. "Looking at the mountains will kill you, especially the mountains in the grassland."
Feng He took his seat and got off his horse. He was tired and refused to leave.
Long Chen saw that it was already getting late and said, "Let's take a rest and spend the night at the foot of the mountain, and then go into the mountain to search tomorrow."
Everyone dismounted and walked forward slowly. When they dismounted and saw the occasional green grass, they immediately lowered their heads to eat grass.
After eating hay all winter, the horse will not let go if there is green grass to eat.
Yi He was bored, sitting on a pile of rocks and looking around with a telescope.
Mu Zhen looked at Envy, sat next to him and said, "Yi He, show me."
Yi He took off the telescope, turned his body sideways, and said disgustedly: "What are you looking at? I'm showing off, aren't you?"
Mu Zhen chuckled and said, "Just take a look and I'll give it a try."
Yi He refused to give it, as this thing was very valuable to him.
The grassland is open and the telescope is very useful, so he is reluctant to give it to others.
Mu Zhen pestered her so hard that Yi He had no choice but to agree to let Mu Zhen use it.
Mu Zhen happily used the telescope, imitating Yi He and squinting to look into the distance.
"Whether you like it or not, return it to me if you like it."
Yi He urged, but Mu Zhen ignored him. He looked at Crouching Tiger Ridge curiously and saw a barbarian stumbling forward, running very slowly and looking very tired.
Behind Barbarian, several soldiers on horseback were chasing him.
The soldiers rode horses faster, but not much faster. It seemed that the horses were also tired.
"That's a ghost soldier?"
Mu Zhen has seen ghost soldiers, and the soldiers in the distance look very much like ghost soldiers.
"What? Ghost soldiers?"
Yi He snatched away the telescope and looked in the direction Mu Zhen had just gone.
Sure enough, it appeared in the lens
Several figures, a barbarian running, and several soldiers chasing on horseback.
"Really are."
Yi He put down his telescope, rushed down from the rocks, and shouted: "Sir, ghost soldiers, over there!"
Long Chen was discussing with Gan and Xin about going into the mountain tomorrow. Following the direction Yi He pointed, Feng He immediately took out his binoculars and looked over, and sure enough he saw three ghost soldiers chasing a barbarian.
"Sir, three ghost soldiers and a barbarian are chasing you!" .??.
Feng He put down the telescope, Long Chen got up and rushed towards Crouching Tiger Ridge on foot.
The horse is tired and can't run as fast as himself.
northwest direction.
The running barbarian was the escape guide. After escaping from Crouching Tiger Ridge, he ran desperately all the way.
He didn't dare to stay in Crouching Tiger Ridge. He was worried about being discovered by the ghosts and didn't know where it was safe, so he ran away to the southeast.
It was thought that Yanmen Pass was located in the southeast, and as long as it saw Tuzhi and the Zhou army, it would be safe.
These are entirely his own conjectures. He has never seen Tuzhi, let alone the army of Zhou Dynasty.
He only got this information from the legends he heard.
Da da da.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly behind him. The guide was already very tired. He had been running all night, and his legs were running forward mechanically. He could not even feel the existence of his legs, relying entirely on his will to survive.
But I am so tired. The cold air enters my lungs and my entire respiratory tract feels stinging.
The guide wanted to give up, he was really tired.
If you are overtaken, then let it be overtaken and you will die. You really can't run anymore.
A stone on the ground caught his front feet. The guide fell forward and fell to the ground, his face pressed against the cold ground. The guide did not get up, he did not stand up, and he did not want to run anymore.
Compared to death, escape is more torturous.
The sound of horse hooves and the beating of heartbeats alternated chaotically, and the guide waited for death to come.
r>
When the three ghost soldiers saw their guide falling to the ground, they all breathed a sigh of relief and cursed: "This bitch is so good at running that it almost tired the horse to death."
Their horses were also tired and ran very slowly.
Seeing the guide right in front of him, a figure appeared in front of him.
"Someone!"
The ghost soldiers shouted in alarm.
The figure's speed was very fast. The ghost soldiers didn't know what was going on, but judging from the speed, the figure was definitely a master.
"No, let's go!"
The ghost soldier made a quick decision and turned around to run away, but the horse's endurance had been exhausted and it could no longer run.
The ghost soldier ran for a few steps on horseback, but found it was too slow, so he jumped off the horse and fled on foot to Crouching Tiger Ridge.
The guide couldn't move. He felt the ghost soldiers coming behind him and then running away. He didn't know what happened.
call.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew up around him, and a figure swayed past. The guide wanted to raise his head to see what was going on, but he had no energy left.
Long Chen passed by the guide and went straight to the three fleeing ghost soldiers.
Hearing the sound of the wind behind him, the ghost soldier turned around in horror. Long Chen was already behind him.
These ghost soldiers had participated in the Yanmen Pass Battle and recognized Long Chen's appearance. They were so frightened that they shouted: "King Wu, why are you here!"
They didn't know the purpose of their trip. Only Li Chengdao, Luo Heng, and Pang Yun knew.
When they saw Long Chen, the three ghost soldiers were scared to death.
Long Chen accelerated suddenly, and the three ghost soldiers were knocked to the ground.
Long Chen slowly landed, turned around and slowly walked towards the three ghost soldiers. Gan Xin and Mo Lin had already arrived and helped the guide on the ground.
"There is no place to look for after wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get here. I was just thinking about how to enter the mountain, but I didn't expect you to come."
Obviously, the barbarian these three ghost soldiers were chasing was not simple. Maybe they knew about Crouching Tiger Ridge.
