Chapter 170 Where is the source?

At this time, Jichun County was quiet, and even the Yellow River beside the city was extremely calm.

The giant ship slowly approached the dock and looked into the distance. At this time, Jichun County still had the scars of the war. Even if the Water Monkey Tribe did not occupy this county, the people would not dare to come back to live there.

After all, this is the first city where the Water Monkey Clan was wiped out. Who knows if the Water Monkey Clan's lair is nearby!
Li Chengqian and Zhuge Liang looked at each other for a moment, and then gave decisive orders to march the entire army into the city!
In Jichun County, there is no crisis as imagined, it is just a somewhat dilapidated empty city.

Li Chengqian led Gan Longwei to walk for several streets, but they were not attacked. At this time, his movement was so loud, if there were water monkeys in the city, it would not be so quiet and abnormal.

Everyone came to the gate of the city to set up camp again, and waited for the follow-up troops to take over Jichun County by the way.

Li Chengqian and Zhuge Liang came to the pier and looked at Huangjiang in a daze. Could it be that the crisis of the water monkey clan was resolved in this way?

After pondering for a while, Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Marshal Li, you have cleaned up the water monkey tribe in Jiangxia County. This is a great achievement!"

Li Chengqian was still staring blankly at the water of the Yellow River, the beautiful scenery on both sides, and the faint smell of blood in the air.

"Military advisor, it's impossible for this Water Monkey Tribe to appear out of thin air, right?"

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Liang has been thinking about this issue. Every time these monsters appear in Jingzhou, there is a reason."

"I believe the Water Monkey Tribe is no exception!"

"According to the characteristics of the past and the geographical environment of Jichun County, I guess the source of the emergence of the water monkey tribe should be in the lower reaches of the Yellow River near Yangzhou, or other counties in Jingzhou."

Li Chengqian nodded, and continued the topic:

"Qi County is already the county seat along the southernmost side of the Yellow River in Jingzhou, and a little further south will reach the border of Jingzhou. We have sent people to explore there before, but there is a thick fog."

Zhuge Liang nodded, and then said: "Liang has thought about it, the source of the water monkeys is probably not on the Yellow River, because we have such a big movement at this time, but there are no water monkeys to intrude, this should explain some problems."

Zhuge Liang looked at the thoughtful Li Chengqian, pointed the feather fan to the south, and then said: "To the south of Qi County is Yanxun Mountain, and after passing Yanxun Mountain is Guangning County, Changsha County."

"The terrain in Yanxun Mountain is steep and intricate. The main thing I remember is that there is a valley in Yanxun Mountain, and there is a lake in the valley. I suspect that the water monkeys probably came out of there!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian looked at the surface of the river and became thoughtful. For some reason, he felt that the origin of the water monkey might not be that simple.

Jingzhou Yuzhou Passage in Hualin Mountain, Yizhou Passage in the outskirts of Xiangyang... These alien passages are all at the border of Jingzhou. Could it be that the previous judgment was wrong?Can the alien passage be in Jingzhou?

No, Li Chengqian suddenly remembered that Jingzhou is an isolated place. Perhaps it is because of this isolated place that it is easy for alien passages to appear at the border.

Unless the water monkeys came from the abyss gate similar to the cannibals, the abyss gate may come to every corner of Jingzhou.

But since the isolation of Jingzhou, except for the passage from another world, the abyss gate has not appeared for a long time, and every time the abyss gate appears, it must be accompanied by some visions, and I always have some perception.

But no matter where the water monkeys came from, after Zhuge Liang's analysis, the two most likely places are the source of the Yellow River and the Yanxun Mountain, so wouldn't it be enough to arrange people to search for it?

"Summon General Zang Ba quickly!"

By my side now, there are only Zhuge Liang, Wu Zixu and Zang Ba.

And Li Chengqian remembered that among Zang Ba's attributes were his ability to travel thousands of miles a day and his military speed, so the task of exploring Yanxun Mountain might have to be entrusted to him.

If the source of the water monkey tribe is not solved, there is no way to guarantee the safety of Jichun County, and this county will be regarded as an abandoned city.

……

Yanxun Mountain has nine bends and eighteen bends. After the world has changed, the mountain roads inside are even more intricate.

Zang Ba found Yanxun Lake hidden in the canyon after searching for two full days.

In fact, when Zang Ba went to the mountain to search for the first day, he analyzed that Mount Yanxun was not the origin of the water monkey.

Because Yan Xunshan couldn't see any traces of monkeys that had passed through the water, and when he found Yanxun Lake, he confirmed this idea even more.

At this time, Yan Xun Lake is extremely calm, there is no abyss gate, no thick fog, nothing...

Zang Ba quickly moved away from Yanxun Lake after his general search was fruitless. Since the origin of the water monkey is not here, does it mean that there is likely to be a passage from another world at the end of the Yellow River?

At this time, it is necessary to report to Li Chengqian as soon as possible, because the border of Jingzhou is often accompanied by thick fog, and it is extremely risky to explore there.

It's just that Zang Ba always felt that something was wrong with Yanxun Lake just now, but he remembered that when he looked around, he didn't find anything abnormal.

In the middle of the night, Yan Xun Lake, which was unusually quiet, suddenly burst into thick heat. Slowly, the heat formed a dense fog, which filled the entire canyon and lasted overnight.

What Zang Ba didn't realize was that the Yanxun Lake Canyon was extremely quiet, without any trace of animals. At the same time, he would not know that after the changes in the world, almost all places in Daqian became bigger, and this Yanxun Lake , but there is no change.

……

Hearing the results of Zang Ba's investigation, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the previous judgment is very likely. The junction of the end of the Yellow River and Yangzhou is likely to generate a passage from another world.

If the existence of this alien passage is confirmed, it will confirm Li Chengqian's conjecture that the alien passages are basically at the border of Jingzhou!
It's just that before the investigation, Li Chengqian has one more thing to do, and that is to rebuild the giant ship!
The previous giant ship rushed from the upstream to the downstream through the Yellow River, and was blocked by many water monkeys along the way. In addition, when the giant ship was built in a hurry, the giant ship at this time was already full of potholes. The splints are beginning to crack, and it is not far from being scrapped.

Going to the border of the Yellow River here, the water situation is complicated, and the requirements for ships are extremely high.

Just when the Tang Army in Jichun County was rebuilding the giant ship, Li Chengqian sent people to various counties in Jiangxia County to investigate the situation. The water monkeys had almost disappeared in Jiangxia County.

The common people stopped gathering in one place in Xiling County, and those who came later continued to pack their bags and go to other counties. As for letting them leave their homeland and go to Wan County, almost everyone refused.

If it is not the time of despair, who would want to leave their homeland?
Li Chengqian took advantage of this time to continue to familiarize himself with the other formations and talents of Qianlongwei. This time when he was exploring the end of the Yellow River, Li Chengqian only planned to bring Qianlongwei with him. He rejected all requests from other soldiers. This risk must be taken by himself. Come on.

"boom!!"

Half a month later, a brand new giant ship was slowly launched into the water. In the past few days, we will still encounter scattered water monkeys. Now, it is time to completely solve the water monkey scourge!
