"Ayi!"

Guan Yubai pointed to a half-hidden and half-exposed path in the bushes on the left front and said to Xiao Yi: "From that direction, you should be able to see the Yanlai River in the distance. There is still a section of the downstream direction of the Yanlai River..." As he said , and pointed to the kraft paper in his hand to signal Xiao Yi to come over and take a look.

Xiao Yi glanced at a blank space on the vellum paper and responded readily: "Let's go over and have a look. With the addition of the lower reaches of the Yanlai River, the map in this direction is almost complete."

"The next step is to go to the southwest..."

The two of them walked towards the path while talking. Xiaosi temporarily left the young eagle Hanyu in the care of Baihui and Lily, and followed Guan Yubai like a shadow.

There were bushes on the path. Xiao Yi took out a short knife and cut through the obstacles to clear the way for the two of them...

"You two gentlemen, please stay!"

At this time, a honest voice came from behind them. Following the sound, they saw a big man carrying a big bow striding towards them. The big man seemed to be in his forties, with a black face. With the curly beard, he was the hunter they saw just now.

Guan Yubai raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party and asked, "I wonder if brother, do you have any advice?"

The hunter had a naive expression, scratched the back of his head, and advised kindly: "Sir, there are many ferocious beasts on this mountain. I see that you have no power to restrain a chicken, so be careful and don't wander around. It’s good.”

"Thank you for your advice, brother." Guan Yubai clasped his fists.

Xiao Yi, who was one step behind, strode to Guan Yubai's side, patted Guan Yubai's shoulder nonchalantly, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, although this brother of mine doesn't have the power to tie a chicken, But this little guard of his also knows some martial arts, and ferocious beasts and the like can’t hurt him.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiaosi with a half-smile.

Although he seemed to be praised by Prince Xiao, Xiaosi was not happy at all. He glanced at Xiao Yi coldly, cupped his fists and said lightly: "Young Master Xiao, you are too complimentary."

The hunter with the curly beard looked at the three of them again, his eyes stayed on Xiao Yi's face for a moment, he lowered his eyes to hide the sharpness in his eyes, smiled boldly, and said: "Then That’s fine, young master, don’t blame me for being nosy. How many young masters are here to visit Yulan Mountain?”

Guan Yubai smiled and said: "I heard that Yulan Mountain has beautiful scenery, so I came over to take a look around."

The Orion nodded and said with a proud look on his face: "Our Yulan Mountain and Yanlai River are both beautiful with beautiful scenery, but the location is a bit remote." After a pause, he said enthusiastically, "Master Since we have reached the top of the mountain, we must have walked for a while. Our village is at the foot of the mountain. It only takes half an hour to walk. How about going to our village to rest?"

Guan Yubai turned his head and looked at Xiao Yi: "Ayi, what do you think?"

"That's fine." Xiao Yi nodded and said, "We've been walking for a long time, so we might as well ask for a glass of water."

"Don't worry, everyone, I don't dare to say anything else. The cold water must be enough!" Orion laughed heartily and pointed to the southwest road, "Our village is over there. Young masters, please call some of you. A friend?"

"That's natural, we're just bothering brother." Xiao Yi hugged his fists boldly and thanked the other party, "You haven't asked me what your last name is yet?"

While talking, Xiao Si had already called Nangong Yue and others who were sitting not far away to rest.

?"My surname is Zhang, and my bow is Zhang. You guys follow me this way."

The Orion Zhang enthusiastically led the way, and Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi followed in twos and threes.

Zhang Orion led them toward the southwest. After passing through a forest, they saw a rugged trail that had been walked out of the woods.

Zhang Orion introduced with a smile on his face: "Our village is at the foot of the mountain, so people in the village often take this path up the mountain. As the saying goes, it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down. Young masters, please be careful."

With that said, Zhang Orion took the lead and walked down. He seemed to be very familiar with this path. He walked steadily down the mountain, reminding them from time to time to pay attention to their steps.

Go all the way down the dry yellow mud path. When you reach the foot of the mountain, you will see a small village appearing below. There are twenty or thirty small houses with earthen walls and tiled roofs in the village. Just looking down from the mountain, The village looked a little deserted.

When they approached the entrance of the village, this feeling became more obvious.

The village was quiet and completely silent, making people feel lifeless and lifeless, no, or rather popular.

The Orion Zhang in front sighed and said: "It made a few young masters laugh. When the Nanliang people came here a few months ago, the people in the village could not escape and died. Now only Lian Liang can do it." Six people including me still live in this village."

He looked up at the village in front of him, frowning deeply, and sighed quietly, "Everyone in my family died in the war, and I was the only one who survived... Sometimes I think about it, I really wish I could follow them Went, hey, but as the saying goes, a good death is worse than a bad life, don't you think so?" As he said that, the Orion's eyes were already misty with tears, and his eyes were red, which made people sigh.

Lily said angrily: "Those Nanliang people are really abominable! I don't know how many innocent people and soldiers in our southern Xinjiang have been killed and their families have been destroyed! If I meet a Nanliang person, I won't kill them. They are a loser."

As he spoke, everyone was looking at the village. It was already noon, but at a glance, there were only two or three houses with smoke coming from their kitchens, and they were lonely and desolate.

"This young master is still a hot-blooded person." Zhang Orion hugged his fists at Lily with deep feeling, and then changed the subject, "Several young masters, please, my family is in front." As he said, He pointed to a house not far from the village entrance where smoke was rising and said, "Now we are living together with my cousin. He must be cooking dinner. If you don't mind it, how about having some simple meals at my house?" ”

Guan Yubai and Xiao Yi looked at each other, and finally Guan Yubai smiled slightly, cupped his fists and said, "Then we are more respectful than obeying orders and disturbing our brothers."

"Young master, you are too polite." Zhang Orion laughed heartily, "Although it is just a simple meal, it is better than the game I just hunted from the mountains yesterday. The pheasant and hare meat are delicious and juicy, whether it is roasted or roasted. Roast it, or make a soup or something, it’s all delicious..."

Zhang Orion kept talking, and as he spoke, several people came to the house that Orion pointed to before.

The house is surrounded by a wooden fence. As soon as you enter the yard, you can see a small vegetable patch, but the vegetables grown inside have dried up and turned yellow. There are some sieves, baskets, and stones scattered in the yard. Grinding... Baihui and Lily frowned slightly.

Zhang Orion scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said: "I made everyone laugh. We are two big and thick men, and we can't clean it up..."

The face that was almost covered by the beard looked a bit shy.

Fu Yunhe said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, you are too polite. We men are not women, we don't stick to trivial matters!"

At this time, a rough male voice came from the room: "Cousin, are you back?"

As he said that, the owner of the voice had already walked out of the house. He was a man in his thirties, of medium height, dark and thin, with a long horse face and a very mediocre appearance. He cast suspicious eyes on The picture behind Orion

"Dachun." Zhang Orion hurriedly responded, "I happened to meet these young men on the mountain. They wanted to come to our house to rest and ask for a drink of water. I thought you happened to be cooking, so why not Let’s just treat these young gentlemen to a casual meal.”

Dachun was stunned for a moment, and immediately responded enthusiastically: "The meal will be ready soon. Everyone, please come in! The house is simple, please don't find it objectionable." He said nonchalantly as he led everyone into the house. He said, "Since the people from Nanliang came, there have been very few guests coming to our village. Today is a rare day to have some fun."

The main room is empty, with only a square table, a few benches, and a few large jars in the corner. Although the room is simple, the smell of hot food coming from the kitchen is mixed with the smell of noodles. The aroma of meat fills the room, making those who smell it salivate.

"Please take a seat, please. You're welcome."

With a smile on his face, Zhang Orion invited Xiao Yi, Guan Yubai, and Nangong Yue to sit down at a simple and rough square table. He also dragged out a few benches from the back room and politely asked Xiaosi, Ren Zinan and the others to sit down. They all sat down.

"Brother Zhang, sit down too." Xiao Yi asked Orion Zhang to sit down as well, and asked casually, "There are not many people in this village, why don't you just move somewhere else? There are only six of you. Living here is not a long-term solution."

Zhang Lihu smiled bitterly and said: "I grew up in this village, and I only know how to hunt. Hey, although Yanding City is safe, a villager from our village has visited Yanding City. The city gates are closed every day, and you cannot come in or out at will. If we are trapped in the city, how will we rough people survive? Even if we don't starve to death, we will still be so hungry that our faces will be sallow... Anyway, we only have a few. Damn my life, since God was lucky enough to let me take it back, I’m sure I’m not in a hurry to take it back!”

That Orion Zhang was quite open-minded, and he started laughing as he spoke.

While talking, Zhang Orion’s cousin named Dachun served them a few bowls of cold water, and said with an attentive smile: “Everyone must be thirsty. We don’t have much tea here to entertain you, just a few bowls. It’s cool and white.”

Of course, ordinary hunters in this wilderness can't afford any decent utensils, so they just collect seven or eight large celadon bowls. Some of the bowls even have small holes in the mouth, but fortunately these bowls are washed. It must be relatively clean, and the cold water in it is crystal clear.

Xiao Yi took the celadon bowl and did not drink it. Instead, he said with a smile: "This elder brother is too polite. In my opinion, the most ordinary water is the most thirst-quenching thing."

Nangong Yue pulled Han Qixia's hand without leaving any trace. Han Qixia was no longer the simple and ignorant noblewoman of the royal capital back then. She smiled slightly and sat upright without moving.

Zhang Orion smiled when he saw this, motioned to Da Chun to put the bowls on the table, and said, "Your Majesty, you dislike our bowls being dirty? I have washed this bowl several times and the water is clean. ."

Guan Yubai picked up the celadon bowl on the table and said with a faint smile: "There is one thing that I am a little concerned about. Could you please help Brother Zhang to answer it?"

Zhang Orion quickly said: "Master, please speak."

Guan Yu said in vain: "I just saw a muddy path in the mountains, with a lot of scattered footprints, and I don't know where it leads."

Zhang Orion's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "I don't know which trail the young master is talking about. There are many ferocious beasts on Yulan Mountain. Hunters from our village and other nearby villages often go up the mountain to hunt, so it is inevitable. Leave some footprints." As he spoke, he picked up a celadon bowl in front of him, raised his chin, drank it all in one go, then wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeves, and said to Dachun beside him, "Dachun, Go and pour me another bowl."

Da Chun responded, took the bowl, and was about to turn around and enter the kitchen.

With a wink from Xiao Yi, Ren Zinan took a step forward and stopped Dachun without saying a word.

"Why are you blocking my road?" Da Chun raised his voice angrily and exchanged a quick look with Zhang Orion.

Xiao Yi stroked his sleeves, raised the corner of his mouth, smiled as bright as a peach blossom, and said slowly and meaningfully: "Don't waste your efforts, no one will come."

After talking about this, Zhang Orion still didn’t know that he had appeared. He stood up and wanted to run away, but a cyan figure flashed in front of him, and Xiao Si appeared in front of him expressionlessly. , a silver dagger was pressed against his neck, and he gave a few words: "Our young master hasn't finished speaking yet, sit down." The cold blade of the dagger touched Orion Zhang's skin, and his whole body stiffened. .

Although Lily has always been unfavorable to Xiao Si’s dead face, she has to admit that at this time, Xiao Si is still quite reliable and pleasing to the eye...

Zhang Orion's eyes were rolling. At this moment, the direction of the door dimmed, and a figure appeared at the door...

It must be one of them! Zhang Orion was overjoyed when he saw a strange man in black walking in. His heart suddenly sank: Oops! He thought he had led Xiao Yi into a trap, but could he have led the wolf into the house himself?

At the thought of this possibility, Orion Zhang was almost frightened.

The person who came was none other than Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying also held a bunch of bells in her hand and shook them deliberately. The bells made a crisp sound, but Zhang Orion and Dachun's expressions became even uglier.

Xiao Ying clasped his fists with a smile and said: "Master Shizi, in addition to these two people, there are a total of eight Nanliang people lurking in this village. My subordinates and Ah assassinated six of them and captured two alive. Now, Just throw it outside in the yard, and Ah An is guarding it." After a pause, he added, "These Nanliang people are also very interesting. They buried these bells behind the house to communicate with each other. Fortunately, my subordinates reacted quickly and Their messages were cut off..."

Turns out he is from Nanliang! Han Qixia and Baihe's pupils shrank, and they vaguely understood that Guan Yubai's real purpose of their trip was probably to target these Nanliang people. And what he was planning should be more than just these few people!

Now, there was no need for Xiao Si to threaten him with the dagger, Zhang Orion sat down softly, breaking out in a cold sweat, and his heart was extremely cold: the communication network they had set up in the village had been cracked by the other party! There were indeed ten of them lurking in this village, and they were all eliminated by the other party!

How could this happen!

Xiao Ying still had a smile on her face, but she was sneering in her heart. This group of Nanliang people thought that they had laid out this bell line so that they could communicate with each other once there was a situation, but they didn't know that this biggest weakness also exposed their own people's location.

He and Xiao An followed the example and dug out the hidden pile easily.

Xiao Yi put down the celadon bowl in his hand with a smile, handed it to Zhang Orion, and said kindly: "You are sweating so much, are you thirsty? Drink more water!"

Zhang Orion had more cold sweat on his forehead and back, and his clothes were almost soaked with sweat.

He stared blankly at the celadon bowl in front of him, not daring to drink from it. Others don't know, but he knows best that he added "material" to the water, but he is sure that this "material" is colorless and odorless, and no one can find it.

He really wanted to convince himself this way, but when things developed to this point, what he was "certain" about had disappeared in an instant.

Before, when he accidentally met Xiao Yi on Yulan Mountain, he thought that he was really lucky. This dignified prince of Zhennan went out without a few guards, and there were several people accompanying him. She's so girly, she looks like she's pretending to be a man.

At that moment, Zhang Orion was disdainful. He only felt that the prince of Zhennan was nothing more than that. He was really not as famous as meeting him. Now that the war is still going on, he was like a **** who actually thought of taking a few women on a trip to the mountains. water.

Such a person is actually the commander-in-chief of the tens of thousands of Southern Xinjiang troops. It seems that Southern Xinjiang can easily get it!

However, for Zhang Orion, this is really a great opportunity.

He has been trapped in this village for several months. If he can kill the prince of Zhennan in one fell swoop this time, the morale of the Southern Xinjiang army that has finally been raised up will be instantly defeated. That will happen before the king of Zhennan can react. In the past, their Nanliang army could recapture Yanding City, Yongjia City, and even Huiling City in one fell swoop. Then your achievements are iron-clad, and you will be able to rise all the way from now on!

With just a snap of his fingers, Zhang Orion made a decision, determined to seize this great opportunity and lure the Prince of Zhennan to their village, and then let them control it, even if they did not kill Xiao Yi. He is also a very expensive bargaining chip...

Seeing the wealth and glory right in front of him, Zhang Orion never expected that after returning to the village, things would develop completely beyond his imagination. The prince of Zhennan actually knew that he was from Nanliang. His men even found hidden stakes lurking in the village.

So, even if the other party knew what he had put in the bowl, it would not be surprising, but he was still stupid enough to think that he could play tricks on the other party...

Looking at the changes in Orion's expression in this picture, it was really exciting. Nangong Yue on the side curled her lips and simply took the opportunity to give him another blow to completely defeat his defense: "It is colorless and tasteless, but there is a faint hint of... The fragrance of rice, this should be 'Qian Jin Pou'. As far as I know, one drop of 'Qian Jin Pou' can stun ten tigers. It is an extremely rare drug..."

"You..." Zhang Orion's pupils shrank sharply, and he felt as if something was shattered in his heart for a moment.

The other party actually knows everything, everything, as if their recent every move has been under the other's gaze, as if they have been played by the other party for a long time!

Guan Yubai smiled slightly, his eyes flashed, and said: "Since brother doesn't want to drink water, let's continue chatting."

Guan Yubai looked at Zhang Orion in a gentle manner, "I see that several of them have been taking turns guarding Yulan Mountain. It must be for something valuable, right?"

Zhang Orion and Dachun both lowered their heads, and neither of them spoke.

Guan Yubai didn't want to hear any answer from the other party, so he continued: "It's a path leading to Dengli City, right?"

This time, the "cousins" reacted, Zhang Orion clenched his fists, and Dachun glanced at Zhang Orion intuitively.

Even without looking at the other party's reaction, Guan Yubai already knew the answer. According to the map, not far behind Yulan Mountain is Dengli City. One of the purposes of the last time he, Xiao Yi, Fu Yunhe and his group came to Yulan Mountain was to see if there was a road on the mountain that could lead to Dengli City.

That trip was not in vain.

After going back, he and Xiao Yi chose a day to quietly visit Yulan Mountain again, and groped along a trail, carefully avoiding the eyes and ears of people along the way, and did not even damage the bushes along the way.

Although the trail has been carefully cleaned, every time you walk through it, you will inevitably leave traces. In addition to some messy footprints, they also found some blood stains in the bushes and weeds. There were even a few carefully buried corpses... After following the path all the way down the mountain, both of them were overjoyed.

Guan Yubai's guess is correct. There is indeed an unknown trail on Yulan Mountain that leads to Dengli City.

Then those traces that were deliberately hidden become more and more meaningful.
