Wuyou Mountain is a large mountain that stretches thousands of miles from east to west. It is located at the junction of Tianyong and Beijiang. It is like a barrier that separates Tianyong and Beijiang.
There is no worry-free fairy on Wuyou Mountain, and I hope for peace at the foot of Wuyou Mountain.
According to legend, thousands of years ago, the You Dynasty was weak and all the princes in the world came together. The world was in chaos and the people were in dire straits. The princes in the north coveted the richness of the south and moved south with their power.
Some immortals couldn't bear to see it, so they lowered their fingers and raised the mountains to block the rolling torrent of iron cavalry and save tens of millions of people from worries.
In order to commemorate this immortal who raised the mountain with one finger and saved the people from worry, people named the mountain Wuyou Mountain and built a temple for it, called Wuyou Temple, in which the immortal Wuyou was worshipped.
There is a worry-free immortal on Wuyou Mountain, and the hope for peace at the foot of Wuyou Mountain comes from this.
Of course, this is just a legend and cannot be verified, but it also represents the people's yearning for peace, joy and worry-free.
At the foot of Wuyou Mountain, there is a majestic pass called Wuyou Pass. As long as you pass through Wuyou Pass, you will enter the northern border.
Wuyou Pass controls sixteen counties in the north, and borders the Kingdom of Heaven. As long as you leave Wuyou Pass, there is a smooth road to the south, and you can go straight into the hinterland of the capital. It can be said that Wuyou Pass is the last barrier to the north of Da Chu.
In the 16th year of Taizu Yuanyou's reign, Emperor Yuanyou of Taizu was buried. The nine sons of Da Chu seized the throne, and civil strife continued. Taking advantage of the civil strife in Da Chu, Dayan raised millions of soldiers, and with lightning speed, they launched a series of attacks. They conquered Qingwu, Xuanhua, Huaishuo, Beiyou and other places in northern Xinjiang, and directed their troops towards the hinterland of Da Chu.
At the critical moment, Wuyou Pass guard Li Liren, with 30,000 soldiers and 100,000 old, weak, women and children, relied on the natural danger of the Wuyou Pass terrain to guard the pass for more than ten days. Dayan's million-strong army was unable to enter, and finally waited until the army Rush to the rescue and repel the Yan army, saving the land of Chu Tianfu from the scourge of war.
Otherwise, once Dayan's million-strong army breaks through the Wuyou Pass, there will be a fertile and smooth road to the south, which can reach the hinterland of Chu, endangering the imperial capital, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, the emperors of the Chu Dynasty later learned from the painful experience, so as not to learn from the past mistakes, they stationed a large number of sergeants at Wuyouguan and built it into an important military town.
Especially since Emperor Tianwu of Great Yan came to the throne, he was extremely ambitious and eyeing the Great Chu. He often caused friction and chaos on the border of Northern Xinjiang. In order to restart the war, Emperor Jingrun sent a large number of troops to various counties and customs in Northern Xinjiang. Although Wuyou Pass is not a frontier area for friction, it still has a large number of troops stationed there due to its important geographical location.
It is reported that there are at least 100,000 regular troops and 50,000 reserve troops stationed in the small Wuyou Pass, which is not a small number.
Of course, as an important military town, Wuyou Pass is very tightly defended, and everyone entering and exiting needs a road sign.
At this time, in the Wuyouguan Guard House, a man was sitting at the top, listening to the report of his deputy general. After listening, he waved his hand to signal the other party to leave.
After the deputy general retreated, the man rubbed his eyebrows and cursed secretly: "Damn, okay, who are you looking for? This is really troublesome."
The man is about forty years old, with a tall build, dark skin, and the unique ruggedness of a Northland man.
The man is none other than Deng Quan, the guard at Wuyou Pass. He is responsible for the usual security patrols at Wuyou Pass, as well as the interrogation and management of people entering and exiting Wuyou Pass.
The official position is not high, but the power is great, the salary is rich, and the life is very leisurely.
But recently, he has been very annoyed.
He couldn't sleep, couldn't eat well, and even Feng Yuexuan's wine and women no longer tasted good to him.
Because, he recently received an order to carefully check every person who entered Wuyou Pass from outside to see if there was anyone suspicious among them.
And this suspicious person is Ye Qing.
The trouble is not finding someone, but not being sure whether this person is alive or dead?
Not sure how long it will take?
"When does this day end?"
"When you enter Chenqingyuan, don't ask about life or death. You should know the rules of Chenqingyuan?" Suddenly, a cold voice sounded in the inner hall.
Deng Quan was startled at first, gathered his energy, and held the long knife on the table: "Who?"
"There are demons that monitor the world during the day..."
The cold voice sounded again.
Deng Quan subconsciously responded: "There are monsters patrolling Kyushu at night."
"Zhao Thirty-Six, I have met you, sir!"
These two sentences are the code words of Chen Qingyuan's spies. Only the Chen Qingyuan's spies and the top line responsible for contacting and managing them know it.
And Thirty-Six is his code name. There are four levels of spies in Chenqingyuan: Demons, Demons, and Demons, and he belongs to the level of spies.
Thirty-six is a number that is different from other spies. It does not mean that he is the thirty-sixth level spy.
All spies at the level of Zhen are equal. Unless necessary, they generally do not know each other's identities and will not communicate with each other. The spies at the level of Zhen are unified under the command of Zhen Yi, and only Zhen Yi knows the identity of all of them. identity.
Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, the person speaking should be Ying Yi, his immediate boss.
And the order given to him before was also from the other party.
"No courtesy." A cold voice came from the inner hall: "As a member of the Chenqing Court, you must remember your identity and do not neglect your duties, otherwise you will be punished according to the court rules."
"I know that I am guilty. Your Excellency, please forgive me." Deng Quan lowered his head and said with sincere fear.
"It's just this once, it won't happen next time." Zhaoyi continued: "How is the situation going? Is there anyone suspicious?"
Deng Quan replied: "Sir, although there have been some suspicious people these days, after verification by my subordinates, they are not Ye Qing."
"Well, don't be careless about this. Keep watching."
"Yes." Deng Quan responded, with a hint of hesitation on his face: "It's just... Sir, I have something I don't know whether to say or not?"
Xiao Yiyi said: "Speak."
Deng Quan thought for a while and said: "Let's not mention whether Ye Qing is dead or not. Even if he is not dead, how can you conclude that he will go to Northern Xinjiang and pass the Wuyou Pass?"
Zheng Yiyi said: "First of all, there are Beijiang, Longxi, Hedong, Tiandu, etc. that are bordering Tianyong. Except for Beijiang, the rest are all inner palaces close to the imperial capital. The imperial court has strong control. If Ye Qing wants to The only way to survive is to go to places such as Beijiang, Tianliang, and Jiannan. These places are far away from the center of the imperial court. They have many sects and complicated situations. They are good places to hide. Beijiang borders Tianyong. If I were Ye Qing, I would definitely choose it first. Northern Xinjiang.”
"Secondly, Ye Qing may be related to corpse ships. Corpse ships can appear in any river or lake. The Yongjiang River happens to originate from Wuyou Mountain, so Ye Qing is most likely to have reached Wuyou Pass."
"So, we need to step up our vigilance in recent days."
"That's it. Thank you for clarifying my doubts, sir." Deng Quan cupped his hands, was silent for a moment, and continued: "How long will it take? If this happens for a long time, my subordinates are afraid that clues will be discovered and their identity will be exposed."
His identity as a spy of Chen Qingyuan cannot be exposed to the light at all. Once exposed, his position as a guard at Wuyouguan will be over, and his life may even be in danger.
Chen Qingyuan's identity is the most disliked in any place in Dachu, whether it is temples or rivers and lakes.
"Don't worry, it won't be too long." Zha Yi replied: "These are just my guesses. If Ye Qing is really related to the corpse ship, he may not do the opposite. He may even be in Northern Xinjiang. Or, he might be dead."
"I'm just in case."
"My lord has done his duty well, and I admire him." Deng Quan breathed a sigh of relief. This way, he was much less stressed.
"Okay, there is news. As usual, go to Feng Yuexuan and I will show up when the time comes." After the instructions, Zha Yi said: "Supervise the peace of the world and observe the rise and fall of Jiuzhou..."
"Kill the evildoers in the world and protect the happiness of the people..."
Deng Quan cupped his hands with a solemn expression.
"Farewell..."
"Take care of yourself……"
The sound stopped, and the inner hall was empty.
Obviously, Yingyi has left.
"Here comes someone." After Xiaoyi left, Deng Quan rubbed his brows and called out.
"Sir, what are your orders?" After a while, a person came in and said, "Sir, what are your orders?"
"General Cui, please pass on the order to strengthen the security and strictly inspect the people entering and leaving Wuyou Pass. If you find anyone suspicious, report it to this officer immediately."
"Yes." Although the general didn't understand the reason, he didn't ask any more questions and turned to leave.
"Ye Qing... what a troublesome motherfucker... I became a spy for the sake of the country, the people and my family, not for this kind of nonsense."
After the generals left, Deng Quan muttered Ye Qing's name twice, with a stern look on his rough face: "It would be fine if you died, but if you are not dead and I catch you, I will make your life worse than death. "
However, he didn't know that Ye Qing, whom he longed for in his heart, had not gone to Wuyou Pass.
Instead, he climbed Mount Wushou;
Arrive at Wushou Temple.
