After walking for a few miles along the military camp, a huge tent came into view. Before Liu Zheji and others could approach, a hearty voice came from the tent.
"Little sister, if you want to come, don't tell me in advance so that I can send someone to pick you up in the city." A very strong young man walked out of the big tent. He was extremely tall, at least nine feet tall, and his naked body was
The muscles of the upper body are very well developed, and the muscles on his body are like cast iron.
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm going up the mountain tomorrow, please make arrangements." Gu Menger glared at the other party.
"Well, it's not impossible for you to go up the mountain, little sister, but let's go in and talk. There are many people here." Gu Liangqi laughed twice and rubbed his hands in embarrassment. Every time Gu Meng'er criticized him so harshly, but he
There is no way at all.
Gu Meng'er said softly "Yeah", and then Gu Lianqi led Gu Meng'er and Liu Zheji into the tent, while the other soldiers were dismissed by Gu Lianqi.
The tent was different from what Liu Zheji had imagined. Although it was large in area, there were not many items inside. There was only a chair in the center. In front of the chair was a small oven with half a roasted lamb on it.
Oil was dripping from his legs, and there was a pot of old wine next to him. It looked like Gu Lianqi had just been eating.
The first thing Gu Lianqi did after entering the camp was to go to the barbecue, insert a piece of meat with a knife, stuff it into his mouth and chew it beautifully.
"Little sister, I won't hide anything from you now." Gu Lianqi said vaguely.
"The governor of Jiangnan County sent an army to Huju Pass. Now they have all the power there. I am just an errand boy."
Gu Lianqi tried hard to swallow the meat in his mouth and took another sip of wine. He wiped the wine stains on his lips and winked at Gu Menger.
"He's your nephew, no problem." Gu Meng'er took Liu Zheji who was standing aside with one hand.
"Nephew?" Gu Lianqi thought for a moment. He didn't seem to have such a nephew in his memory. Suddenly he seemed to think of something and asked tentatively: "Sister?"
"Yes." Gu Meng'er nodded."
"I didn't expect that my sister's son would grow up so big. Back then I..."
"Stop talking." Gu Menger interrupted Gu Lianqi.
"You and I were still young, and no one could have stopped it from happening. What's more, for me, it's not a bad thing." Gu Meng'er thought about Gu Mengqing's strength, and her expression became complicated.
"Sister, what are you planning? You even pushed your sister to your son."
"Sister, has she come out?" Gu Lianqi suddenly thought that ten years had passed and Gu Mengqing should have left the forbidden area, but why was her son here?
"It won't be clear for a while, and the fewer people know about some things, the better. Just remember him and treat him as your nephew from now on."
Gu Meng'er didn't know what to say. Gu Mengqing's act of betrothing her to Liu Zheji made their relationship a mess. It was wrong to discuss it from the beginning. Just forget it and marry Liu Zhe.
She hadn't thought about the halberd yet, and she didn't bother to sort out the rest.
"Hahaha, that's a good feeling. I'll do it again in the future
We have a nephew." Gu Lianqi laughed heartily. He walked to Liu Zheji and patted Gu Lianqi's back with a thick hand.
"Eh? Do you also practice external skills?" Gu Lianqi felt something unusual about Liu Zheji's body as soon as he came into contact with him. When he patted Liu Zheji just now, it felt like being slapped on cowhide. This was obviously a sign of practicing external skills.
.
"He is practicing with me now, you'd better tell me what happened just now." Gu Meng'er was a little impatient with Gu Lianqi's ink marks.
"That's right." Gu Lianqi slapped his forehead.
"I heard that the Han Dynasty is going to launch troops against the Chu Kingdom." Gu Lianqi said seriously.
"This matter has been rumored for a long time." Liu Zheji felt that this cheap uncle was not very reliable. A few months ago, the news that the Han Dynasty was going to launch troops against Chu had already spread all over the city.
Gu Menger also frowned and signaled Gu Lianqi to continue.
"It seems that the Han Dynasty is really going to launch an army against the Chu State this time. You don't know that although the army currently guarding the Hengduan Gorge was sent by the Jiangnan County Governor, this army is obviously not Jiangnan County's own army."
Speaking of this, Gu Lianqi said disdainfully: "I don't know about those people in Jiangnan County. They have trouble beating my black-armored army. Those people now are obviously a very elite force, and there are definitely innate masters among them, and there are more than just them."
one."
Speaking of the innate master, Gu Meng'er's expression finally changed.
"How many troops did they send?"
"There are only five hundred people, but all of these five hundred people have the strength of acquired warriors. I was a little surprised when I saw most of them, and most importantly, I saw the figures of the sect members."
"Sect? What are they doing here?" Gu Meng'er asked.
"I don't know. I heard that a large army will attack the border soon. This is just the leading reconnaissance force. Maybe some sects are involved with the big men. I heard that the leader of the Qingfeng Sect in Jiangnan County was formerly the governor of Jiangnan County."
"I know this."
Gu Meng'er lowered her head and muttered: "Depending on the situation, we won't be able to fight for a while. Is there any way you can let us enter the mountain?"
"Why do we have to go into the mountains? The situation is so serious now, and the mountains are not very peaceful either." Gu Lianqi persuaded.
"I have resigned as an elder and I am going to retreat in the mountains." Gu Meng'er said.
"What?! You resigned from the position of elder? Dad, did he agree?" Gu Lianqi's eyes widened. He was the elder of the execution hall. If he didn't have the qualifications to be an elder, he wouldn't have come to this miserable place.
"He is not qualified to take care of my affairs." Gu Meng'er said coldly.
"Hey, you still have resentment towards my sister, but you can't blame dad for that. That's okay. I will arrange for you to go up the mountain tomorrow. But little sister, let me remind you that the mountain is not as good as before. There must be enemies on both sides.
The spies are hiding in it. It's not a good thing for you to meet anyone from these two sides. It's best to hide when you encounter trouble."
"Yeah." Gu Meng'er responded.
After Gu Meng'er and two people left the camp, Gu Lianqi ordered his subordinates to prepare food and wine for Gu Meng'er and two people, and then he went alone
Stayed in the camp.
"Sister, it's been ten years. Your strength must have reached that point. When will you come to see me?" Gu Lianqi stared at the crackling stove for a while. He, like Gu Meng'er, had been taught by Gu Mengqing.
It can be said that the two of them are the last disciples of Gu Mengqing. He has very poor qualifications and cannot practice internal skills at all. When his family was about to give up on him, it was Gu Mengqing who taught him the secret skill of external skills "Tai'a Body Training". This skill has no
The limit, in theory, is to be able to practice to the level of an existence comparable to the realm of transformation. Gu Lianqi has never heard of such a technique in this world. This can also prove Gu Mengqing's great kindness to him. Ten years ago, Gu Mengqing voluntarily was imprisoned in a forbidden place.
Gu Lianqi also left his family in frustration and joined the Black Armor Army. Now he is also the commander of the Black Armor Army stationed in the Hengduan Mountains, but he has always missed Gu Mengqing.
Gu Lianqi picked up the wine bottle, tilted his head and drank the wine in one gulp, then blew a strange whistle in his mouth.
"We must protect the safety of our young master when we climb the mountain tomorrow."
Gu Lianqi said this to himself. After he finished speaking, more than a dozen sparks suddenly surged into the air as if being blown by the wind, and then disappeared.
A night of silence
Liu Zheji was feeling very uncomfortable now. Yesterday, he pestered several black-armored sergeants to talk about the Hengduan Mountains, but he ended up talking too late. When Gu Menger pulled him up from the bed with dark circles under his eyes, he realized that he had only slept for two hours.
.
It was still dark, and the stars were still in the night sky. Gu Meng'er took Liu Zheji to the so-called entrance to the mountain. Here, Gu Lianqi and a group of well-equipped black-armored troops were already waiting for them.
"Someone saw traces of an exquisite water cub near Sunset Peak. The people from Jiangnan County have already organized people to go up the mountain. My group of soldiers is on guard for them."
"I have to leave first, little sister." Gu Lianqi nodded to Gu Meng'er and Liu Zheji, then mounted a horse-shaped monster with two horns and rushed towards the Hengduan Gorge.
The terrain of the Hengduan Mountains is extremely dangerous. There is only one place in the area of tens of thousands of miles where you can go up the mountain smoothly. The rest of the area is difficult for even a perfect master to climb directly. The terrain in the mountains is complicated and there are too many dangers hidden in it. Therefore, normally, the Hengduan Gorge is
The edge is the safest climbing spot, because it has been developed by the army, and there are far fewer monsters and other dangers.
Although the entire Hengduan Mountains is large, if you look down from the sky, the entire Hengduan Mountains is more like a huge disk. A dark crack in the middle of the disk divides it into two. At both ends of the crack are the Han Dynasty and the Chu Kingdom.
In this country, a huge crack formed an extremely long canyon, which is the Hengduan Gorge. Before, the two countries were not bordering each other at all. The Hengduan Mountains allowed the two countries to maintain a long-lasting peace until the battle between the masters of transformation three hundred years ago.
This put the two countries in a tense state.
Huju Pass in the Hengduan Mountains is a giant military fortress that the Han Dynasty is building. The first stop for Gu Menger and Liu Zheji is here. After passing through Huju Pass, there is the Hengduan Gorge. The location of their mountain climbing is just 50 meters away from Hengduan.
One hundred miles from the entrance of the gorge is a place called Dengtianbao.
With the black-armored army as cover, Gu Menger and Liu Zheji successfully passed through Huju Pass. After another half-day journey, they finally arrived at Dengtian Fort.
