You Can't Be Fierce Towards Me!

Chu Xiangtian unexpectedly answered like this, the child in front of him is at most no more than ten years old, the one in his arms is even smaller, as thin as a chick, but the eyes are extraordinarily big, dark, always hiding in the big arms Li, looking out vigilantly.

"very good."

Chu Xiangtian laughed, without erasing the map on the ground, he patted the older child's shoulder with his big hand, "At any time, you can't bet all your hopes on others."

The older child glanced at him, lowered his eyes and did not answer.

Outside the deep mountains, Fu Huang and his team traveled day and night to Shanyuguan without stopping. They brought dry food, and stopped to eat a piece of dry biscuit at meal time, and then swallowed it with cold wine.

The captain of the guard originally wanted to light a fire and cook some hot water for Fu Tian to keep him warm, but he refused. Fu Tian chewed on the dry and hard pancakes, swallowed down a sip of cold wine, wiped his mouth and got on the horse, "Let them hurry up, eat Continue on your way."

Seeing him like this, the captain of the guard didn't dare to persuade him any more, so he had to tell his subordinates to finish eating and set off on their way.

After traveling day and night, they finally arrived at Shanyu Pass in the middle of the night on the third day.

The foreigners were still watching outside, and Shanyu Pass was on alert. Even in the middle of the night, the lights on the city wall were still brightly lit. Soldiers with swords and guns were patrolling the city wall.

"who?"

The captain of the guard showed his badge, "Xue Qingshan, Lieutenant of the imperial guards, is ordered by the emperor to escort Kang Lehou to Shanyu Pass. Please open the city gate and let me wait in."

There were torches gathered on the city wall, and it was impossible to distinguish the authenticity of the waist badges through the dark night, but this group of people were indeed wearing Chu people's clothes, and the orderly soldiers hurried down to deliver the news.

A moment later, the city gate slowly opened, and a group of soldiers walked out slowly holding torches, with their right hands vigilantly pressed on the sabers at their waists.

Xue Qingshan tossed the waist badge across the air, and the leader of the soldiers took it, carefully identified it under the firelight, it was indeed real, and then looked at the man surrounded by them, the whole person was tightly wrapped in a cloak, although it was covered with wind and frost, but It is indeed not like ordinary people to be expensive.

Welcoming them in, the leading soldier led them to the inner hall to rest, "I have sent someone to invite Mr. Zhou, please feel wronged, and after Mr. Zhou confirms his identity, he can go back to rest."

Fu Tian took off the cloak on his head and looked around. There were soldiers in armor with spears, his eyes fixed on them, as if he was afraid that they were spies in disguise to prevent them from rioting.

Thinking of the border situation that Chu Fengyuan had told him, he said clearly: "Is the war serious now?"

The soldier nodded and said cautiously: "It's already the middle of winter, and the foreigners have run out of food and grass. If they can't attack the city, they will only have a dead end, so now everyone is crazy." Can't prevent.

A group of people sat in the inner hall for a while, and Zhou Chuanqing hurried over. Before anyone arrived, he heard the voice, "Who did you just say is here?"

"Kang Lehou?" While wrapping a cloak around his body, he looked at the group of people on one side again and again, and his surprised voice stopped abruptly when he saw Fu Tian.

After a moment of silence, he strode in, with a splitting headache, "Why did you come here? Does mother know?"

Fu Huang tensed his jaw and shook his head, "Mother doesn't know, I'm afraid she might be worried, but the emperor agreed."

Zhou Chuanqing was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say about him.

Chu Xiangtian had been missing for nearly ten days. During these ten days, the foreigners attacked the city wildly day and night. In addition to the lack of supplies in the city, he did not dare to fight rashly and could only guard the city gate.

At such a time, Fu Huang ran over without authorization, he pinched the center of his brows, "Don't mess around, the war is critical now, if something goes wrong, how can I explain to Feng Zhang and Shuyue?"

He looked at Xue Qingshan and his party, "The foreign attack is too fierce, and I'm not sure I can keep defending it. At that time, I can only open the city gate to fight head-on. The city is too dangerous. How can you send people here? How can you give them to me now?" Send it back!"

Fu Tian still wanted to argue, when he heard a long and piercing horn sounding, followed by a clear cry of killing, Zhou Chuanqing's face changed, and his expression suddenly became awe-inspiring, "Everyone follow me out to meet the enemy!"

The soldiers behind him followed him neatly, Zhou Chuanqing hurriedly turned around and explained, "Go back to Qingyang immediately, this is not the place you should come to!"

Fu Tian took a step forward and shouted to him: "The food and payment have been raised when I came, you hold on, and it will be delivered in a few days."

Zhou Chuanqing paused, nodded with his back turned to him, and then led the people away quickly.

Fu Huang looked at their backs, put on the hood again, and said to Xue Qingshan: "Bring the dry food and supplies, and follow me into the mountain."

Xue Qingshan's expression changed suddenly, and he knelt down on one knee in fright, "Master Hou! There is a fight outside, if something happens when you go out of the city..."

Fu Tian's face was calm. He knew that it was dangerous to go out of the city at this time, but if he could not find him as soon as possible, perhaps Chu Xiangtian's situation would be even more dangerous.

And...he glanced at the direction of the north city gate, there was the sound of fierce fighting coming from there, the generals of Chu lost their leader, and the foreign tribes took advantage of the gap, the offensive would only become more violent, not only he needed Chu Xiangtian, but also The border also needs Chu Xiangtian to sit in charge.

"Do you want to resist the decree?" Fu Tian looked down at the half-kneeling Xue Qingshan, "The emperor ordered you to escort me to find King Yu, and you want to resist the decree before entering the mountain?"

Xue Qingshan's eyes showed bitterness, he struggled for a while before gritting his teeth and said: "Don't dare."

Fu Tian didn't want to waste time, so he turned and walked out. "Then prepare the supplies immediately, and we will go directly into the mountain from the pass."

There are many mountains in Shanyu Pass, and the city walls are built against the mountains. The long dragon-like city walls have guarded the Great Chu for generations, but in fact, the mountains and rivers inside the pass were originally connected with the outside of the pass, but there are dangers hidden everywhere in these lofty mountains, and few people dare to go deep into them. .

Fu Tian touched the long life lock on his neck that was covered in warmth, and prayed silently, hoping to find Chu Xiangtian as soon as possible.

The number of people entering the mountain was reduced to 20. The horses were replaced by local pony horses that are more resistant to frost and snow. The supply camels were on the back of the pony horses. A group of people quietly bypassed the battlefield ahead and entered the Among the deep mountains.

Fu Tian was wearing a heavy fur coat, and the hood covered his entire face, only revealing a pair of eyes looking at the road ahead.

There is a vast expanse of white snow in the mountains, and the sky has snowed again at some point, but after a while, the horseshoe marks behind him are buried, and they go deep into it.

Xue Qingshan made marks along the way while walking, while Fu Tian walked far ahead, which was extremely dangerous, and they would have no time to react if something happened.

But Fu Tian insisted on this. He rejected Xue Qingshan's suggestion to protect him in the middle, and rode alone in the front, almost ten steps away from Xue Qingshan and the others.

Every time Fu Tian walked a certain distance, he would whisper to the trees on the side of the road if he had seen a group of people in the mountains. The man who led them was very tall.

Some trees would answer him ignorantly, and some would not answer at all. Fu Tian was extremely patient, and still asked them one by one. Ask around for news.

They searched in the mountains like this for three days. During these three days, the snow in the mountains was getting bigger and bigger, and the mountain roads became more and more difficult to walk. Fu Tian led the way in front, seemingly aimlessly searching, and Xue Qingshan followed behind. , Watching him huddled beside the tree, not knowing what he was doing.

He remembered the emperor's explanation before his departure, and secretly decided that in two days, if there was no news, he could only forcefully knock him unconscious and send him back.

Fu Tian didn't know what was going on in his mind at all. These days he asked countless flowers, plants and trees, some said he had seen them, some said he hadn't seen them, and those who had seen them pointed out a direction, and he walked in that direction, and then Asking all the way, except for eating and sleeping, he spent the rest of the time dealing with these animals.

When he asked about an old tree, he didn't even have any expectations, "Have you ever seen a group of people? They should all be wearing armor and riding on horses. The man at the head is tall and tall, and he should be holding a long gun..."

The old tree dragged his voice, and then said slowly after a while: "I saw you the day before yesterday or yesterday, many people passed by me..."

Fu Tian was ecstatic in his heart, "Then do you know where they went?"

The old tree said: "Go ahead."

Fu Tian pointed to the direction ahead to confirm with it, "This way?"

The old tree replied yes, Fu Tian thanked him, pressed his palm on the trunk of the old tree for a moment, and then greeted Xue Qingshan and the others, "I found it, go this way!"

This was the most accurate information he had asked in the past three days, and the time interval was not too long. If they were quick enough, they might be able to follow the traces left behind.

Xue Qingshan caught up half-believingly, seeing that he was so sure that he couldn't say anything, so he had to follow him and speed up.

The group of people walked for almost an hour, when suddenly someone stared at the side of the tree and exclaimed: "There is a mark here!"

The exclaimed soldier was responsible for making marks along the way. He habitually searched for a suitable place mark, but accidentally discovered another mark left on a tree trunk.

"It was left by our people." Xue Qingshan stepped forward to check, there was a set of codes in the army, and what he found now was the one Chu Xiangtian often used.The originally gloomy atmosphere eased a bit, Xue Qingshan showed joy, "Keep looking forward!"
