Since Wu Zhu is an insidious person, he is definitely not a fool. Although the people sent by Zhao Hu made wild claims about uniting the two families, Wu Zhu only believed it. Zhao Hu wanted to dominate Lingnan, and he had no idea.
You can't think about why. Without the news of the war between South Vietnam and Luoyue, even if Wu Zhu's army has already marched to the border of Xi'an, it will not take a step forward.
Wu Zhu is still a careful person. Since he saw Su Ren last time, he understood that Su Ren, a twenty-year-old kid, was difficult to deal with, so he sent a large number of spies to secretly monitor Su Ren's every move. It was deserved.
When he learned that Su Ren had gone to Zheling, Wu Zhu's face showed a smile. Then he heard the news that Captain Huang Qi of Kuaiji had died of illness, and Wu Zhu burst out laughing.
The Yue people formed a strange posture. Fujian and Vietnam were stationing troops on the border of Xi'ao, and South Vietnam was also stationing troops on the border of Luoyue. They were waiting for each other to launch the first wave of attacks. Although they were all Yue people, no one believed it.
who.
"Zhi Cheng, what news did you bring me?" Wu Zhu coughed twice and wrapped the animal skin tighter on his body. He has been afraid of the cold since he was born, and even in the summer, he has to cover himself with animal skins.
of strict and solid.
Zhi Cheng is Wu Zhu's general. The only good thing about this man is his loyalty. No matter what decision Wu Zhu makes, Zhi Cheng will complete it without compromise, even at the risk of losing his life.
"Report to your Majesty, the scouts found Han troops in Wohu Ridge. They are small in number and their whereabouts are secretive. Their scouts were sent five miles away."
"Cough cough cough..." Wu Zhu coughed violently. The maid beside him quickly helped Wu Zhu stroke his back and beat his chest. He coughed for a long time and said, "Finally we are here, but Su Ren will lead it personally?"
"I don't know, these Han people are well-defended and difficult to approach. According to the report from the scouts, the flag is Li, and it should not be Su Ren."
"Li Danghu, the son of Weiwei Li Guang." Wu Zhu immediately guessed the identity of the leader and waved his hand: "Leave them alone, explore again, find Su Ren and report back!"
"promise!"
Wu Zhu gasped for air, as if the air in his body had been emptied. With the help of the maid, Wu Zhu slowly lay down on a complete tiger skin and looked up at the few sparse leaves on the wooden roof.
, Wu Zhu asked the maid: "What do you think Su Ren wants to do?"
The maid quickly lowered her head: "I don't know!"
"Hahaha, forget it, you are not Sophora japonica. I miss Sophora japonica a little bit. In order to save me, he was blown to pieces by the bomb created by Su Ren. If it weren't for her, I would be dead now."
The maid did not dare to speak. She knew what was wrong with her as a great king. Sometimes it was normal, and sometimes it was not unusual to kill people for no reason. She waved a large leaf to help Wu Zhu drive away the mosquitoes around him. Wu Zhu was so slow
Close your eyes slowly.
After walking for a whole day, Su Ren gave the order to set up camp. From morning to now, the little rice porridge he had eaten was long gone. Due to Su Ren's power, no one asked for a rest. Finally, when Su Ren gave the order to set up camp,
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The civilian men were responsible for setting up camp, and the soldiers found a dry place to rest in small groups.
Huang Shisan helped Su Ren off the horse. Su Ren felt a stabbing pain between his buttocks. It had been a long time since he had ridden a horse for so long. After walking for a whole day, he probably had blisters on his inner thighs. When he turned his head, it was just right.
Seeing Cui Jiuming roll off his saddle and dismount, lying directly on the ground and humming, Su Ren was in a great mood. Compared to Cui Jiuming, his own problems were nothing.
"How is it? How do you feel?" Su Ren was in a mood and wanted to ridicule Cui Jiuming.
With the help of several family generals, Cui Jiuming slowly stood up and glared at Su Ren: "You did it on purpose, right? You didn't stop for a day, you are trying to kill me!"
"Look what you said, we are friends, and I am doing this entirely for your own good. Look at how you look now, what is the difference between you and a pig? This time you come out, you can lose weight just in time."
"Hey! If we keep going through this, I don't know if I can go back alive!"
Han Yue hurriedly came to Su Ren's side and saluted Su Ren: "Chang Shi, we are on the wrong path!"
Cui Jiuming exclaimed: "What? I went to the wrong place, why are you saying it now?"
Han said with his head lowered: "The general has arrested the guides and is interrogating them. They may be spies from Minyue and deliberately led us astray."
"How wrong is it?"
Han said he took out the map from his pocket and unfolded it on the ground: "This is Crouching Tiger Ridge. We are here now. We have already taken a wrong turn from Benmachuan. Going further forward is Guaizigou. It requires a big circle.
Only then can we arrive at the Minyue Royal City."
"Oh..." Cui Jiuming stopped talking.
Han Shuo seemed to understand something and looked at Su Ren. Su Ren waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, we have the food and grass provided by Shopkeeper Cui, so we can take some detours. The road Li Sima took is very hidden. Those two guides may
I don’t know, you can’t blame them for this, just let it go!”
Han Shuo was stunned for a moment and quickly clasped his fists: "No!"
After watching Han Shuo leave, Cui Jiuming turned back: "You didn't even tell him about such a big thing?"
"Didn't you say there was something wrong with him?"
Cui Jiuming was speechless, snorted coldly, turned around and left again.
Hawking thought for a long time in confusion, but still couldn't hold it back and asked Su Ren: "Brother, are we not going to meet up with Li Gan?"
Su Ren shook his head: "It doesn't work out. Since we went the wrong way, let's go directly to the Royal City."
"Then what if they meet someone from Yue?"
"It doesn't matter if Li Danghu is here!"
The camp was quickly built, and Han Shuo carefully arranged guards and released scouts. He had already guessed that Su Ren planned to let Li Danghu attract Wu Zhu's attention from the beginning, and they were the main force attacking the royal city. However,
, why didn't Su Ren tell Li Danghu? In other words, he was not included in their plans! Han said that his heart felt cold, what kind of person was Su Ren?
That night, everyone knew that they had gone the wrong way, and many people had guessed the reason. When they woke up the next day, everyone who saw Su Ren had a trace of fear in their eyes. Su Ren did not
Ignore them, get on your horse and continue on your way.
Although Nanling is not high, it is still a big mountain, stretching for dozens of miles. It is not easy to cross it. The army entered the most difficult section of the road, Guaizi Valley. This place is not very dangerous, and it is obvious that there has never been anyone.
As we walked through it, we found that the road was just a narrow path. The tall trees above our heads were taller than the others, and occasionally we could see animals entrenched in the branches of the trees, ready to prey.
No one has ever walked through this place, and even Yue people will not visit it easily. Towering trees and arm-thick vines are the characteristics of this place, and all kinds of strange insects make people feel scared at a glance. Everyone puts their own
He wrapped his clothes tightly, for fear that those guys would get into his clothes. A hundred soldiers opened the way in front, and after spending a whole morning, they could only go two miles.
Han said that he was impatient and kept urging the soldiers who were opening the way to speed up, but unfortunately the effect was not obvious. Su Ren got off the horse, and the wide robe and long sleeves were just a burden, especially when riding on the horse, he would be caught by branches from time to time.
, it tore open and left holes everywhere. Huang Shisan found a pair of leather armor and helped Su Ren dress neatly. This thing couldn't withstand the enemy's sneak attack, but it was okay to prevent being bitten by unknown poisonous creatures.
It was very dark in the forest, all the sunlight was blocked by the leaves, and nothing could be seen below. Finally, they found a bright light. As soon as Su Ren stretched out his hand, Shi Bao immediately took out a map. This map was sent by A Xun, better than the one sent by the prefect of Kuaiji.
The map he came back was much clearer. After carefully comparing the surrounding scenery, Su Ren found that he didn't know where he was now.
The guide was found, and Su Ren pointed at the map and asked: "How far is it before we can go out?"
The guide was sweating on his forehead and pointed ahead: "In another three to five miles, we will reach the exit, which is the end of Nanling. It will be much easier to walk after passing Nanling."
"Okay! Keep going!"
He put away the map and slowly walked forward with the team. The torch could not be lit, there was too much moisture in the air, and the pitch pine had lost its oiliness. Su Ren thought of his secret weapon: "Xiao Jinzi, we can make those things well
Is it waterproof?”
Hawking nodded quickly: "No problem, I wrapped it myself. I used a lot of things, all of which are absorbent."
"Check it again, you can't make a mistake!"
Su Ren's hope was the bombs in his hands. As long as he arrived at the gate of the Minyue King's City and threw two of them, he would not open the door if he didn't believe the people inside. Therefore, nothing could go wrong with those things.
After just three to five miles, it was a full day's walking. When the first ray of sunlight shone in, the team burst into cheers. The two guides wiped the cold sweat from their heads and finally did not go in the wrong direction. If they could not get out of Guaizigou today,
It would be a pity for them both to die.
The bright sunshine evaporates water vapor, forming a thick mist. Standing on a big rock, feeling the warmth of the sun, Su Ren looks ahead. This is the hinterland of Fujian and Vietnam. It is indeed a good place. Not to mention the vast plains, the land is fertile and the crops are abundant.
The green fields are growing happily. If it weren't for them, this place would be like a peach blossom garden.
"Find a secluded place to camp, have a good sleep tonight, and go straight to the royal city as quickly as possible tomorrow morning!"
"No!" Every officer's face showed excitement. It was obvious that they were not aware that the danger was coming.
Cui Jiuming looked like a beggar. His clothes were full of holes and his hair was a mess. He glanced at the peaceful Minyue Plain and said calmly: "I didn't expect such a scene here. It's not like the Yue people live in this place."
In a barbaric land, how can there be any trace of barbarism here?”
Su Ren patted Cui Jiuming: "Now you understand that I didn't lie to you, right? If nothing else, even if all the food here is shipped back, it can be sold for one hundred thousand yuan!"
Cui Jiuming nodded: "That's not all. That tree is a nanmu tree. It's so thick. It's worth at least 10,000 yuan to cut it down and transport it back to the Central Plains. There are also those gems inlaid on the roof of someone's house."
Su Ren laughed: "Don't be so ignorant, those things will be ours soon!" (To be continued)
