At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

"Aren't the capital and the God of War Pass both in the north? How come the roads diverge in this small county?" Ren Hao asked in astonishment.

Li Yi quickly explained: "Although the capital is due north, the road on the left has to go around a large mountain, so it is a bit farther. The road on the right can lead to the government office and take the official road."

"I see." Ren Hao nodded.

The roads in ancient times were far inferior to those in previous lives.

Most of the roads are dirt roads, which are built by people and horses walking on them all year round. Roads will appear wherever it is convenient.

Things like digging holes in mountains and building bridges across ridges in the previous life simply do not exist.

Often a big river can become a place of sadness for countless people.

He waved his hand and headed straight for the road on the left with a row of donkey carts.

Admiring the unique mountains, rivers and streams of this world along the way, Ren Hao sped up as much as possible, trying to deliver the compound crossbow to Xu Qing as soon as possible.

After all, the war over there is intense.

After a day's rest, in the evening, everyone came to a county town. Ren Hao paid for everyone to stay in an inn.

Of course, the compound crossbow still needed someone to look after it, and this task fell on Xu Hu, who brought a dozen people to guard the compound crossbow.

The next morning, after breakfast, Ren Hao led everyone on the journey again.

Time flies and ten days passed quickly.

Now it is only five days away from the God of War Pass.

This place is already in the north, with a sparse population. There is no village in front and no shop behind. It will take another two days to reach the county town.

The group walked until about eight o'clock in the evening before they saw a sparsely populated village.

In order to avoid trouble, Ren Hao arranged for everyone to camp by the river outside the village.

He brought Xu Hu to the village to buy some food. After all, they didn't carry much dry food and needed to resupply at any time.

Maybe I won’t even be able to reach the village tomorrow.

At night, there were no lights in the village, only one or two dogs seemed to have heard the footsteps of Ren Hao and Xu Hu and were barking wildly.

Ren Hao's gaze fell on a yard nearby, where a skinny puppy was tied up, barking wildly.

Ren Hao shook his head and was about to leave, but the door creaked open. Then, in the moonlight, an old woman with clothes full of patches walked out. Seeing Ren Hao and Xu Hu, she couldn't help but come closer to check.

"Who is it?" The old woman came over and rubbed her eyes. After seeing the faces of Ren Hao and Xu Hu clearly, the old woman couldn't help feeling a little scared.

"You...you are..."

"Auntie, we are just passing by. It's too late. We would like to ask for some food. Is it convenient?" Ren Hao asked politely.

After hearing Ren Hao's words, the old woman hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then wait a moment."

The old woman turned and walked in. After a moment, she came back with a clay pot with a missing corner and some vegetable leaves in it.

"These are all I have at home. Let me give them to you." The old woman said after holding the food in both hands.

Xu Hu quickly took it, and Ren Hao took out a string of copper coins from his pocket and put them in the old woman's hand: "Thank you, Auntie, take this money."

At this time, the old woman saw the copper coin in her hand clearly and exclaimed in surprise.

“This… is so much money!”

When she was about to speak, she looked up and saw that Ren Hao and Xu Hu had already walked away. The old woman was so excited that tears came into her eyes. She hurried back to the house holding the money as if it were a treasure.

"Brother Ren, this village is too poor and there is nothing to eat." Xu Hu said after looking at the contents of the clay jar.

Ren Hao couldn't help scratching his head. If they wanted wild vegetables, there were more than a hundred men here who could dig them anytime. But what he wanted more was something like corn.

"Forget it, just put these wild vegetables back into that lady's yard." Ren Hao waved his hand.

Consider it a good deed.

Not long after, Xu Hu came back and said, "Brother Ren, the dry food we brought can only last for one day. If we can't find food the day after tomorrow, we will starve."

"It's a pity that Li Yi also came from the capital. He has never taken this road. It's my fault for not preparing earlier." Ren Hao shook his head.

Xu Hu scratched his head: "It's a pity that the car is full of compound crossbows. It would be better if it was loaded with food."

Hearing Xu Hu's words, Ren Hao's expression changed!

Yes! We have more than a hundred people here, and 5,000 compound crossbows, so we can definitely go hunting!

Even if there are no wild boars or roe deer, there are always pheasants and wild ducks.

If a hundred people shoot arrows at the same time, even a wild tiger can be shot into a hedgehog!

After returning to the camp, Ren Hao immediately arranged for the twenty people he brought from the village to go out hunting under the cover of night under the leadership of Xu Hu.

Most people in Caixu Village know how to hunt.

Since farming is not enough to feed people, most people choose to try their luck in the mountains.

If you are unlucky, you can get some wild vegetables, mushrooms or something like that to fill your stomach. If you are lucky, you can get a few wild rabbits or something and sell them for money to fill your stomach.

Xu Hu is also an expert hunter.

Moreover, hunters have their own routes and methods of action, so they rarely get lost even in unfamiliar places.

Early the next morning, Xu Hu returned to the camp with more than 20 people.

There were more than a dozen wild rabbits and two wild boars, one big and one small.

"Hey, I was lucky enough to run into a pigpen and take care of these two guys." Xu Hu laughed.

"Not bad!" Ren Hao nodded approvingly.

Xu Hu and others were busy all night, so it was natural for other people to do the cooking.

After working for more than an hour, more than a hundred people shared more than ten rabbits and two wild boars.

Finally, I had a full meal and was ready to continue my journey.

Sitting in the donkey cart, it didn't take much effort for everyone, and the meat was enough to sustain them for a day.

Time flies.

On the evening of the fourteenth day after departure, Ren Hao finally brought his men to the God of War Pass.

Looking around, there were endless tents stretching for miles, with tens of thousands of soldiers ready for battle at any time.

There are rolling mountains on both sides, and only a pass about seventy or eighty meters wide in the middle, with a majestic checkpoint built on it!

God of War Level!

The huge pass, which is tens of meters high, shocked Ren Hao and others who saw it for the first time!

"Sir, this is the Ares Pass. The Marshal once said that the Ares Pass is the most important pass in ancient China and it is indestructible!" Li Yi said proudly.

Ren Hao nodded. A pass of this level could only be blocked by one man against ten thousand.

It only takes 5,000 people to guard it. Not to mention tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of people may not be able to take it down. Such a tall city wall is enough to deter most people.

Because the pass is so small, only so many people can come in at the same time.

No matter how many people come behind, they will have to queue up.

There is a city leaning against the God of War Pass.

There are high walls all around, and a small river in front of the gate with a sturdy stone bridge across it. It looks a bit dilapidated due to the baptism of time.

When they arrived at the city gate, Li Yi took out the warrant and Ren Hao and others were let in.
