The experienced Cao Chengguang looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the mount in front. He coughed and said, "Have you ever seen a horse mated?"
Huang Feixue glared at Cao Chengguang fiercely, blushed to the root of her neck, and rode her horse to chase Zhang Chi ahead.
Cao Chengguang was a little dumbfounded. I was kind enough to help you popularize science, but in the end I offended you? Why are you glaring at me? Xiao Nizi is not kind. She wants to learn from me and Zhang Chi. Mad, I, a good man like me, must be aggrieved.
Huang Qitai came to Cao Chengguang and smiled at him: "Why did you offend Miss Feixue?"
Cao Chengguang said angrily: "Did you see with those eyes that I offended her? Dog eyes look down on others."
Huang Qitai didn't dare to provoke him, so he chuckled and said to himself, don't talk about dog eyes. With your height and long legs, everyone will look down on you.
The caravan has entered the mountain pass. Cao Chengguang raised his head and looked to both sides. Only by being there can he feel the depression of entering the mountain pass.
The cliffs on both sides are towering, and only a narrow mountain road in the middle is passable. The mountain road is undulating, and the narrowest place can only accommodate one person. Once the enemy attacks from both sides, the team entering the mountain pass will not even be able to find a hiding place.
The members of the caravan became more and more frightened as they watched, and therefore they were sincerely convinced by Zhang Chi and understood Zhang Chi's painstaking efforts. If Zhang Chi hadn't asked them to camp patiently and wait patiently before forcing their way through the mountain pass, many of them would have died.
The group of people left the mountain pass tremblingly. It was not until the moment they left that they breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Chi called Huang Qitai to his side and asked him about the road conditions ahead.
Huang Qitai told Zhang Chi that passing the mountain pass is equivalent to crossing the Lingxiao Mountains. This mountain range is the natural boundary between the Shanman clan and the Chongmu clan. This mountain pass did not exist in the past. Later, the Shanman clan teamed up with the Heiyue clan to invade the Chongmu clan.
, in order to facilitate the invasion, the mountain pass was blown up and excavated, connecting the northern wilderness, and the Chongmu clan also lost its natural barrier.
However, the Shanman clan also suffered the same fate shortly after wiping out the Chongmu clan, and the Black Yue clan became the one with the last laugh in the Northern Wilderness.
Looking back at the mountain pass is like a big mocking mouth, as if laughing at the sad fate of the Shanman clan.
For the caravan, Crystal City is the end point of their trip, but for Zhang Chi, it is just the halfway point. After arriving at Crystal City, he will continue to the Lengshan Plateau to meet Qin Luzhu. Qin Luzhu currently does not know that he is returning.
News back to Netherworld Ruins.
Thinking of Qin Luzhu and Xue Nu, Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart. He had only left Netherworld Ruins for a few short months, but ten years had passed here. I wonder how they had changed in the past ten years. Have you ever thought about yourself?
It started snowing not long after leaving the mountain pass. People born in Beihuang have long been accustomed to everything here.
The closest route to Crystal City is through the Dark Night Forest. Zhang Chi had walked through it once before, and he still remembered the bad road conditions in the forest. At that time, he also met the Dubeifeng couple who came to pursue them in the Dark Night Forest, and had a battle with them.
If He Donglai hadn't arrived in time, it would have been difficult for them to defeat Du Beifeng and his wife.
After the Battle of Shankou, Huang Zhulang became more and more respectful to Zhang Chi. He specifically sought Zhang Chi's advice on how to take the next road.
Zhang Chi looked at Huang Qitai. The experienced Huang Qitai had more say in which route to choose.
Huang Qitai said: "If no one is interested in this batch of goods on the way, we choose the Prism Icefield as the smoothest route. Although it is farther, the road conditions are much better than that of the Dark Night Forest, but the Dark Night Forest also has its advantages.
There are many trees and complicated roads, making it easy to hide, so the attack by the gryphons that day will not happen again."
Huang Zhulang also tended to choose the route in the Dark Night Forest. After all, this road was shorter. They didn't have much time left, so they had to speed up their journey as much as possible.
After Zhang Chi listened to their opinions, he immediately decided to choose the route in the Dark Night Forest.
Facts have proved that their choice was correct. After entering the Dark Night Forest, the journey was smooth. Ten days later, they had successfully left the Dark Night Forest. They had covered more than half of the distance. Huang Zhulang calculated the distance and concluded that there would be no problem in reaching Crystal City within seven days.
, if everything goes well, it can be done about five days in advance.
The junction between the dark night forest and the snowfield is a large grassland. There is no snow cover here. They decided to rest here for a day. Most of the mounts were exhausted after running around for days. They could let them rest here and replenish forage.
The next journey is across the vast ice field again, with no place for supplies.
Huang Feixue releases the golden eagle. After the golden eagle takes off, it can observe the surrounding situation. If there is any abnormality, it will be reported to her as soon as possible.
Zhang Chi raised his head and watched the golden eagle flying higher and higher, like a star rising in the night sky.
Huang Feixue said: "My mother once told me that after death, a person will turn into a star."
Zhang Chi smiled and said, "It's just a legend."
Huang Feixue said: "I have never seen the flower season. I heard that only Luofu Plain can see the light. I have always wanted to see it, but there is no chance."
Zhang Chi said: "I will take you there if I have the chance."
Huang Feixue blinked his eyes, his face full of joy: "What does Luofu Plain look like? Have you ever been to Guangming City?"
Zhang Chi said: "There's no difference, it's just that one month of the year is daytime."
Huang Feixue nodded, and said a little disappointedly: "I am a slave and cannot walk around."
Zhang Chi said: "Silly girl, I have told you, no one treats you as a slave, stand up and hold your chest high..."
Huang Fei
Huang Fei
Huang Feixue opened her eyes and saw that Zhang Chi had disappeared. She bit her lips and sighed, thinking to herself, does the young master not like me? Why did he walk away as he said that?
Cao Chengguang strolled over from the side and saw Huang Feixue's sad face, so he couldn't help asking: "Miss Feixue, why are you so frowning?"
Huang Feixue said: "Does it have anything to do with you?"
Cao Chengguang asked for trouble, turned around and was about to walk away. After walking a few steps, he stopped and said to Huang Feixue, "Be more proactive." Still, he couldn't change the problem of adult beauty. Seeing Huang Feixue lowering her head in shame, Cao Chengguang burst into laughter.
He turned around and continued walking, only to find Lightning blocking his path and looking at him suspiciously.
Cao Chengguang said: "What are you looking at me for? Get out of the way, good dogs don't block the way."
Lightning grinned, but Cao Chengguang did not dare to provoke it. He chuckled and said, "You are not a dog, you are a wolf. How noble your bloodline is."
Lightning shook his neck, and ice shards all over his body fell on Cao Chengguang's face. Cao Chengguang was so depressed that he dared not express his anger, so he dug a hole to sleep. The days without a woman to accompany him were really boring.
Cao Chengguang found a hole in the ground and got in. Thinking of Huang Feixue and Zhang Chi, he suddenly felt uncontrollable curiosity. He had walked for so many days and slept in a tent, but nothing happened? It was really incredible, Zhang Chi couldn't help but
It looks like he has an incompetent personality. Of course, this guy is not like a gentleman who can sit back and relax. Facing such a beautiful and charming slave girl, a beauty who is ready to devote herself at any time, he is indifferent. Cao Chengguang doesn't believe it at all.
Anyway, it's not that far from the tent, so if you have nothing to do, you can sneak under their tent and listen to what the two of them are talking about. If the two of them have sex or something, it will be fun to listen.
Cao Chengguang gave full play to his superpower, quietly digging a hole, and dug all the way under the stretched tent. It was very spacious, and he lay down under it. After waiting for a while, he finally heard the movement above.
"Sir, please rest."
"You go to sleep first, I still need to practice for a while."
Cao Chengguang put his ear against the ceiling of the hole. After listening for a long time, he didn't hear the expected sound. He sighed in his heart, Zhang Chi really didn't touch anyone, what a waste! Could it be that the soil was too thick? Cao Chengguang dug up the soil again.
A little thinner.
I heard Huang Feixue say: "Master, you...don't you like me?"
Cao Chengguang was secretly happy, and finally got to the point. Xiao Nizi couldn't help her temptation, and finally took the initiative. The man chased the woman across the mountains, and the woman chased the man across the paper. As long as Huang Feixue used some tricks, he would relax that kid. I don't believe he can control it.
Liveable.
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "Feixue, why do you ask that?"
Huang Feixue said: "Nothing."
"Go to sleep!"
There was no movement again. Cao Chengguang pressed his ears tightly, and there was no sound at all. Cao Chengguang was a little unwilling and spent a long time digging such a hole. He wanted to hear something exciting, but he didn't expect it to be so clear and waterless.
Sorry for your efforts, Zhang Chi, Zhang Chi, can you be as hard as a man for once?
Cao Chengguang deeply understood what it means to have an emperor who is not in a hurry and an eunuch who is in a hurry. This life is really boring. When he arrived in Crystal City, the first thing he did was to go to Flower Street to relax and unwind, provided that there were such services there.
Cao Chengguang heard the rustling noise, and thought that the prelude had finally begun above, but when he listened carefully, the sound actually came from below, and someone was digging a hole.
Cao Chengguang put his ear to the ground and quickly judged that the excavation should be about two meters underground, diagonally upwards. If he did not change the excavation route midway, he would not be able to dig through his hiding place.
, except for him, it seems that no one else has the ability to dig holes.
Cao Chengguang's mind was running rapidly. According to the information he had so far, the Chongmu clan was good at digging holes, but the Chongmu clan had no grudges against them. Moreover, he and Zhang Chi had saved many of the Chongmu clan's members.
Man, are these people repaying kindness with enmity?
The excavation was still going on, and Cao Chengguang was hesitant. Should he notify Zhang Chi? But if he informed Zhang Chi now, wouldn't he expose the fact that he was secretly listening in under his tent? While he was hesitating, a spear suddenly shot from above.
The sudden stabbing made Cao Chengguang startled, and he hurriedly spread his two short legs apart, and the tip of the spear penetrated the ground between his legs.
Peng! Along with the blooming of the tip of the spear, there is also the internal energy that comes at the same time.
The cave where Cao Chengguang was was blown to pieces by the internal force. Cao Chengguang leapt up with a chirp and landed in the tent, only to see Zhang Chi holding a spear in his hand and looking down at him majestically.
On the other side, Huang Feixue was also neatly dressed and stared at him coldly.
This was embarrassing. Cao Chengguang pointed to the ground and said, "Someone wants to sneak attack you."
Zhang Chi said: "The thief calls for catching the thief. Old Cao, I really have you."
Cao Chengguang couldn't laugh or cry: "Why did I lie to you? There is an ambush below..."
Before he finished speaking, the soil on the ground cracked, and hundreds of warriors wearing brown leather armor emerged from the ground. They each held weapons in their hands and surrounded the caravan.
Zhang Chi originally thought that Cao Chengguang, a shameless old man, had sneaked under the tent and eavesdropped, but now he realized that Cao Chengguang was not lying, and there was indeed an ambush underground.
Luckily for them, two carriages had already sunk underground, and many caravan members had fallen into the hands of these warriors.
Zhang Chi secretly sighed in his heart. They had just used this method to deal with the bandits in Bingfeng Village a few days ago. They didn't expect that it would be their turn so soon. Zhang Chi used the rat weapon, and with the help of him, Cao Chengguang, and the lurking wolves around them, they turned defeat into victory. There is no problem, but this will inevitably cause a lot of casualties.
Lightning led more than 20 wind wolves, sensing that something was wrong, and rushed towards this direction from a distance.
The brown-armored warrior at the head put a short knife across Cao Chengguang's neck and threatened: "Let the wolves retreat, or I will kill them."
Zhang Chi gave orders to Lightning, asking him to control his subordinates and not rush to attack.
Zhang Chi said calmly: "If you kill any of them, I can guarantee that you will all die and no one will be able to leave alive."
The brown-armored warrior looked at Zhang Chi with deep eyes and said without fear: "Do you think we are afraid of death? Since we dare to come, we will put life and death aside."
Zhang Chi said: "Are you Chongmu? We are just passing merchants. If you want to ask for money, we can discuss it easily. There is no need to hurt people's lives."
The brown-armored warrior nodded and said, "Okay, leave all the goods and I can let you leave alive."
Zhang Chi secretly thought, as expected, this batch of goods was the cause of the disaster. What effect does melanin have on these blind people? Are you really not afraid of death after taking such a big risk to rob the goods?
Huang Zhulang shouted from the side: "Master Zhang, you must not hand over the goods to them, otherwise we will all die. Brothers, fight with them!" Losing this batch of goods means death, and of course they refused. Submit.
Zhang Chi glared at Huang Zhulang and scolded: "Do you have the right to speak here? Shut up, everyone!"
Huang Zhulang was scolded by him and could only swallow his words and shut his mouth. He thought to himself that if Zhang Chi really agreed, he would probably die together with these blind people.
Cao Chengguang crossed his arms and looked at Zhang Chi. The situation had undoubtedly reached a deadlock, but he was not under any pressure. Even if the goods were lost and the people in the caravan were dead, he and Zhang Chi could just walk away without having to bear any responsibility. With this responsibility, they are just passers-by in Netherworld Ruins. However, Cao Chengguang is very curious, how should Zhang Chi resolve the situation in front of him?
