Spring and autumn

Tonglaoguan is the gateway of the Qin State, firstly because it connects the Qin and Jin countries, and secondly because of its natural geographical location.Two big mountains, both of which are famous in the four countries, stand tall here. The mountains stretch in the north and south respectively. The one connecting Chu State in the south is Kuiliu Mountain, and the one connecting the glacier in the north is Ge Mountain.The path in the middle of the two mountains is really like the interruption of the gate of heaven. Tonglaoguan is built on the road with cliffs as the two walls, which has become a natural danger to the northeast of Qin State.

Like the no-man's land in Kuiliu Mountain, Geshan is rarely visited by people. Although the mountain is not as large as Kuiliu Mountain, it is more mysterious because of its proximity to the extremely cold glaciers.In addition, it is said that the route in the mountain is extremely complicated, and if you don’t pay attention, you will get lost. The locals living at the foot of the mountain are accustomed to taking this mountain as a sacred mountain and keeping it at a respectful distance.This time Yingdu wanted to go with Jinguang to find Yuling, one can imagine how much impact it caused.

Qin Gong wanted to go with him regardless of safety, so he had a fight with Ying An last night because of this, Ying Du quarreled with the majesty of the lord, so Ying An was defeated, so angry that he went back to the palace that night. Going to the city, Ying Li, who was hiding behind the screen with Jin Guang and listening to the quarrel, was pulled out, and Ying Du repeatedly asked him to guard the Tong Prison several times.

With such a lord at the booth, Jin Guang couldn't help feeling sorry for his subordinates.

Completely obeying Nie Xia's suggestion, the two of them traveled lightly, and neither of them brought the land into the leather mountain early in the morning. The first time they entered the mountain, they recklessly went around several times, and no one was seen by noon. .Immediately on the cliff, facing the unclear road down the cliff, Ying Du stared at the map in his hand, and said melancholy: "I don't know how this Mr. Lu Shun found such a place. I followed the map, but no matter how I walked, it was wrong..."

"We found it so easily, how can Yuling have the effect of avoiding the world?" Jin Guang smiled and took the map in Ying Du's hand and looked at it, but the more he looked at it, the more the smile on his face froze. Just when Ying Du didn't understand his reaction, Jin Guang closed his eyes helplessly, suppressed his depression and said in a low voice, "Ying Du, aren't you going the wrong way..."

"Inverted?" Ying Du couldn't believe it, and argued again, "Impossible! I've always followed the route, why can't I even distinguish between left and right?"

"It's not that you didn't distinguish between the left and the right, but you took the picture upside down..." Jin Guang reluctantly returned the picture to him.

Ying Du hurriedly took it over and looked at it again, still puzzled: "Nie Xia didn't even mark a place name, and there was no instruction word, how do you know I took it down?"

"Look at the direction of the surrounding mountains, it's clearly drawn on this map." Jin Guang didn't bother to explain any more, so he pulled his horse and walked back.

"Hey? How is this so obvious? Why can't I see it?" Ying Du looked at it for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that Jin Guang had already left, so he hurriedly rode his horse to follow, "Hey—— — Xiaoguang, wait for me!"

Jinguang could only comfort himself by saying that good things are hard to come by, while blaming himself for why he believed so much that Yingdu promised to let him volunteer to find the way, which delayed the whole morning. After changing guides, the two speeded up and finally made it before dark Got to the right place.

However, the surrounding area was still surrounded by high mountains, and there was no sign of people.

Now even Jin Guang doubted his life. He held up the map and looked at the terrain. He was sure that he did not find the wrong way. He stopped in this bucket-shaped valley and didn't know where to go.

"Why don't you leave?" Ying Du reined in his horse and stopped beside Jin Guang.

"There is no way, the instructions only go here." Jin Guang handed him the map again.

"Don't show it to me, I can't understand it anyway." Ying Du didn't pick up the connection this time, looked up at the cliffs on the four walls, and said, "Could it be that Nie Xia tricked you?"

"No, if he doesn't want me to find Yuling, why would he take the risk to keep the appointment?" Jin Guang got off his horse and walked to the side to carefully observe every inch of the cliff, "Maybe there is some mechanism ?”

"What kind of mechanism is there in this wilderness?" Ying Du muttered with puffed lips, "Hey, let's go back before it's dark. If it's night, sleeping in the mountains is not enough Safe..."

"If you're afraid, just take the map and go back." Jin Guang threw the map back to Ying Du, who quickly caught it, and heard his firm and urgent voice, "We've come to this point already." , I won’t back down anyway.”

"But... hey! Xiaoguang!" Ying Du just took the picture back and wanted to persuade him again, but he saw a figure flickering in front of him. Jin Guang, who was spying on the cliff, suddenly fell into In the cracks in the ground that neither of them noticed, without time to think, Ying Du hurriedly dismounted from his horse and rushed over, trying to pull him up, but fell down together.

The danger was caught off guard, and the crack in the ground grew strangely on the edge of the cliff, only wide enough for one person, but after falling down, it gradually became wider. Jin Guang was hugged tightly by Ying Du in a daze. Du just hugged him, and his back hit the ground.

"Hmm..." Although the fall wasn't very hard, a burst of pain forced him to groan.

The panic of losing flashed through his mind, and Jin Guang, who was terrified in his arms, quickly reached out to touch Yingdu's face, and hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's...it's nothing..." Ying Du calmed down, and Jin Guang's hand carelessly touching his face made him smile, and he stretched out his hand to hold that flustered little hand while lying in the dark cave, "You It's fine..."

Leaning in his arms and feeling the close warmth, Jin Guang's voice was slightly choked: "The leg injury last time hasn't healed yet, and I don't know how long this one will last."

This was the first time he had taken the initiative to care for him since he was injured. Ying Du was really pleasantly surprised, and deliberately teased: "I thought you didn't care about me at all."

Jin Guang was not angry, but said softly: "Since Mi Feng, the people I want to cherish have left me one by one, and sometimes I don't understand why, is it really the fault of the manipulator behind the scenes? Or, the problem itself lies with me..."

"Xiao Guang!" Ying Du hurriedly interrupted his wild thoughts, and solemnly promised, "All this is not your fault, and I will not leave you either."

"Who are you guys?" The man who had been standing next to Ying Du's head for a long time finally spoke in dismay.

someone?Jin Guang hurriedly got up from Ying Du's body, stretched out his hand to pull Ying Du to sit up too, Ying Du covered his painful back with one hand, watched the man polish the fire fold, half of his handsome face was reflected in the faint light of the fire Bright.

This time it was Jin Guang who supported Ying Du, the two looked at each other, and finally Jin Guang said, "We are here to find Yu Ling."

This is really not a way of self-reporting, the man glanced at them, turned around and left without saying a word while holding a fire pocket.

"Hey, don't go! Cough..." Ying Du hurriedly called out to him, his chest ached from the fall, and hurriedly removed the hand covering his back to cover his chest again.

Jin Guang frowned distressedly, supported Ying Du to lean against the big rock, and begged the only person in the black lights who could help them: "My friend is injured, it's easy to sew this place, but it's hard to get it up. You don't know where Yuling is, please help me!"

"His injury is not serious, and the seam wolf won't come down either. You stay here temporarily tonight, and go back after dawn." The man just said so quietly, and he raised his legs and wanted to leave again.

Since wolves can't find this seam, why does he seem to be here all the time?It was rumored that Yuling was the only place where people could live in Zhongge Mountain. The more Jin Guang thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He followed two steps forward and summoned up his courage to ask, "Are you from Yuling?"

The man just paused and continued to go deep into the cave.

Jin Guang then hurriedly shouted: "If you are from Yuling, I have a letter from an old friend of Yuling here, please read it!"

The man was obviously aroused, and when he turned his head and approached again, although his expression was still indifferent, he looked at Jin Guang again and again.Jin Guang knew that there was probably something to be said for it, so he hurriedly took out Nie Xia's letter and handed it to him.The man took the letter, opened it in the light of the fire folder, and glanced at it hastily:

Han Jia my brother Jun Jian:

Brother Nie Xia pays homage!

I haven't corresponded for a long time, but Brother Liu is still listed as the inspector of Yuling, so I am writing this letter. If there is a chance to read it, I will submit it to my brother.

The master is Prince Guang of the State of Jin. If there is any accompanying person, he must be the Duke of Qin. The two of them have a kindness to their younger brother. They suspect that they are looking for Prince Yang today.My younger brother pointed out that what Yuling saw was an act of repaying kindness, and brother Yan treated him well.As for Jinyang's stay, Mr. Yang Lu and Ling Hu agreed.

Brother Nie Xia pays homage.

He raised his head from the letter and looked at Jin Guang who was waiting quietly, but Han Jia didn't go up to help, but still said coldly, "Come with me."

Jin Guang's eyes lit up, Nie Xia really didn't lie to him, the route was cut off here, and by accident, he really met Yulingren.He was able to fall here, and Nie Xia's letter also worked, everything was God's will, Jin Guang rekindled hope, so he quickly bent down to help Ying Du up and followed.

Ying Du's weight was indeed heavy for Jin Guang, so he gritted his teeth and persisted. Han Jia led the way, and at first he didn't care if he could keep up. Feeling sorry, gradually even Han Jia quietly slowed down for them.

This cave hall is really big, and the various side roads are more confusing than the outside, if it is not for Han Jia to lead the way, it is really difficult to get out.Ying Du walked with a limp under the support of Jin Guang, and he couldn't help complaining: "Let me tell you, how did you, Mr. Lu, find this place back then?"

Originally thinking that Han Jia would not answer such a boring question, he unexpectedly answered in a serious manner: "Mr. It is God's will to come from this crack in the ground, and I happened to walk on the right road along the cave hall, and after passing through this cave, there is a plain of ten thousand mu outside, and there is a strange cave."

As soon as the words were finished, Han Jia had already led the two of them to the entrance of the cave, the sky had already completely darkened, the stars and candles were just beginning to shine, and the clear sky and earth in front of them were indeed filled with lights from thousands of families, so prosperous.
