Li Chengdao walked over slowly. Luo Heng and Pang Yun captured more than two hundred barbarians alive, ate several hundred of them, and ran away.
The ghost soldiers wiped their mouths happily, and some were still digging out the internal organs and gnawing on them.
Offal is rich in fat and has no bones. It is a high-quality meat that is loved by ghost soldiers, tigers and wolves.
"Which of you can speak barbaric language?"
Li Chengdao couldn't speak barbarian language and couldn't communicate.
Pang Yun said: "I can, what do you want to ask?"
Luo Heng and Pang Yun obeyed Gui Fei's will and obeyed Li Chengdao's instructions, but they did not call Li Chengdao "sir" or anything else.
Gao Qinhu looked down on Li Chengdao, and the people below also looked down on Li Chengdao.
"Ask them where Crouching Tiger Ridge is. The Holy Son's will is to go to Crouching Tiger Ridge."
Li Chengdao knew that these two people were rebellious, so he didn't bother to care about these vain things, as long as he could complete the task.
Moreover, these people will not live long.
There must be casualties in dealing with Long Chen, these people are already on the death list.
Pang Yun shouted at the barbarians and lied to them that as long as they could find it, they would be spared death.
The barbarians were so frightened that they saw ghost soldiers eating people, and immediately two barbarians said they knew the place.
"They both know."
Pang Yun pointed at the two older barbarians.
Li Chengdao asked everyone to get on their horses and follow Manzi to Crouching Tiger Ridge.
...
After Long Chen and his party left the valley, they kept walking west.
After finding 20,000 ghost soldiers in the pool of the underground river, Feng He became very excited.
"Sir, we can eliminate 20,000 ghost soldiers at once. If there are ghost soldiers everywhere we look, we can eliminate hundreds of thousands of ghost soldiers."
"Tsk, tsk, there are hundreds of thousands of ghost soldiers. This number is really scary."
Feng He kept chattering along the way, while Gan Xin picked out some tobacco on horseback, carefully packed it and lit it, and then slowly enjoyed it.
The tobacco he smoked was cut tobacco given to him by Feng He, which was very valuable.
"It may not be available everywhere. These places are just my estimates."
I was lucky the first time and happened to meet it.
It's hard to say whether there are any later ones.
Mo Lin asked: "Sir, where is the next place?"
Long Chen said: "Ice Valley, it is said that it is frozen all year round. There have been battles not far from the Ice Valley. I want to take a look. Maybe there is one there too."
The first basis for judgment is that there has been a battle, and it was a place where there was a big battle.
Wherever there has been a big battle, there will be wounded soldiers, and if there are wounded soldiers, they may be frozen.
Yi He in front said with a smile: "We have only heard of the Ice Valley, but have never been there. People from the Shutuo tribe go there to escape the heat in the summer."
Feng He smiled and said: "To escape the heat? You still need to escape the heat? Aren't you just afraid of the cold?"
The summer in the grassland is not long and the temperature is not high. What the barbarians are more afraid of is the cold winter.
I have never heard that they need to escape the heat in summer.
Mu Zhen smiled and said: "Your Central Plains is hot, so you are not afraid of the heat; our grasslands are cold, so we are not afraid of the cold."
"The grasslands are already very hot for us in summer, and Ice Valley is a good place to escape the heat."
It makes sense when Feng He thinks about it. Different people adapt to different environments.
After continuing to walk for three days, Long Chen arrived at a place that collapsed.
This place is more like a big pit than a valley.
The broad and flat ground suddenly sank, with a radius of more than fifty miles and a depression of dozens of meters downward. There were many strange rocks in the pit, covered by thick ice and snow.
"So big?"
Feng He stood at the edge of the ice valley, curiously taking out his telescope and looking down at the strange rocks in the pit.
"The place is so big, it's hard to find, and it's covered in ice and snow. Even if there is a cave, it's covered in snow."
Gan Xin looked at the ice valley and was in trouble. It was difficult to find a cave or something in such a snow-covered place. He couldn't even find the entrance.
"Sir, how do you find this?"
Feng He turned back and looked at Long Chen.
Long Chen looked at the ice valley and felt very embarrassed.
Spring has just begun, and the ice and snow have not completely melted yet. Due to the cold, the ice and snow in the Ice Valley are thicker, and many places are frozen and completely frozen, making it very difficult to find cave entrances.
"How much snow can melt here in the summer?"
Mo Lin turned to ask Mu Zhen and the two of them. Mu Zhen shook his head and said, "We have only heard of this place, we have never been here, and we don't know."
Long Chen looked around and said with emotion: "It would be great if we could know the people of the Shutuo tribe. They spend their summers here to escape the heat. They must know what summer is like."
Go into the mountains and ask the woodcutter, go into the water and ask the fishermen, the local people will definitely know better.
Gan Xin said: "What you say makes sense, sir. Instead of searching everywhere, it is better to look for people from the Shutuo tribe."
Long Chen felt that Gan Xin was right and asked: "Can you find people from the Shutuo tribe?"
Yi He was also in a dilemma and said: "I don't know where their overwintering place is in winter."
"Besides, there are ghosts here in winter. Whether they are still alive or not is a question."
Mainly because of the existence of the ghost tribe, they were not sure whether the Shutuo tribe was still there.
Along the way, Yihe and Muzhen found several tribes that had not gone south, but all of them were gone.
They were very sad, but also very happy. They were lucky that they had followed Tuzhi southward and entered Yanmen Pass.
If they had also hated the Central Plains people and did not believe in Tuzhi, their fate would have been the same.
"Let's search. If we can find people from the Shutuo tribe, we can ask them."
Long Chen insisted on looking for the Shutuo tribe and asked about the situation.
Gan Xing also said: "It is better to find someone than to search blindly."
The ice valley is so big that searching for it is almost impossible.
Mu Zhen said: "I remember that their wintering place is in the south, more than a hundred miles away from here."
Riding on horses, it was not a far distance of more than a hundred miles. Mu Zhen led the way, and Long Chen and his party immediately headed south.
In the afternoon, Long Chen found the Shutuo tribe.
When they saw Long Chen and the others, the Shutuo tribe was frightened. The tribe's warriors immediately lined up and prepared to fight.
Seeing this situation, Long Chen immediately stopped and Feng He said: "Have they ever encountered the ghost clan? Are they so hostile to us?"
Mo Lin said: "Have they encountered the ghost clan and they can still survive?"
The ghost tribe won't leave so many people if they cannibalize people. The Shutuo tribe still has tens of thousands of people, so it doesn't look like it.
"What's going on?"
When Feng He saw the Shutuo tribe being so hostile, he felt something was wrong.
"Yi He, go and ask what's going on."
Long Chen asked Yi He to inquire about the situation.
Yihe immediately rode over, raised his hands high, and shouted in barbarian language.
After hearing the barbarian language, the people of the Shutuo tribe let Yihe pass.
After the explanation was clear, the leader of the Shutuo tribe came out. He was a middle-aged man, very burly.
This person's name is Mosha.
"This is King Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and this is Mosha, the leader of the Shutuo tribe."
Introduction to both sides of the Yi River.
Long Chen saluted and said: "I would like to ask Commander Mosha to help me find traces of the ghost clan in the Ice Valley."
Mosha looked at Long Chen with very alert eyes, clearly filled with distrust.
"Have you experienced anything? Encountered a ghost clan?"
