Jiang Fan laughed: "No, you are a senior. I specially invited senior here this time, firstly as a special envoy, and secondly, as a guide. I heard that the reason why Marshal Yinglu rejected the Governor was because the Governor himself was loyal to King Xiang In addition, because the Governor was born in Southern Xinjiang and is very familiar with this place, Brother Xiang once wanted to govern Southern Xinjiang as a Commander-in-Chief."
Huang Teng looked at him as if he had seen a ghost: "Where did you get this information? There are definitely not more than five people in the Chu Kingdom who know about this."
Jiang Fan smiled: "There is no airtight wall in the world, but this is not what I care about. I would like to ask the governor to take a look at this picture..."
As he spoke, he took out the rubbing of the map obtained from Wutu Village: "How to go to Pheasant Yutang..."
Huang Teng stared at the map with a look of surprise on his face. Such a detailed map seemed not even comparable to that of the Chu royal family. Where did he get it?
Jiang Fan didn't know that Huang Teng was shocked by the map that the painter kept for himself. He just stared at the map and said: "Pheasant Yutang... the main stronghold seems to be..."
Huang Teng slowly calmed down, "The location of Pheasant Yutang is not a secret. As one of the top powers in southern Xinjiang, it has always been entrenched on Jinji Mountain. Now that Pheasant Yutang's power has recovered rapidly, it already has twenty-eight strongholds. These large-scale mountain strongholds are surrounded by guards, and the roads are rugged and difficult to travel. For a long time, even the king has been unable to do anything about it. It is somewhat impossible for the prince to directly ascend."
Jiang Fan typed the blueprint: "Arrival? No need, they won't wait for me at Pheasant Yutang. As I said just now, the best thing they can do now is to intercept."
"Intercept?" Huang Teng frowned slightly.
"That's right. If it's a volley, Zhi Yutang can push two, five, six, and won't admit it."
Huang Teng understood immediately: "It makes sense, so the prince wants to ask Huang to see which way he will take will definitely encounter an interception?"
Jiang Fan nodded: "Yes, I am the bun delivered to your door. I always know where the dog is."
Huang Teng: "..."
"Your Majesty, this metaphor..."
He sighed in confusion and pointed at a passage: "From our location, it seems that this is the only place to go to Pheasant Yutang..."
Jiang Fan took a serious look and immediately ordered: "Lu Hanting, take the people out immediately and search for the marks left by Ding Lang along the way."
Lu Hanting responded, but said: "Your Majesty, he has already arrived."
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, then looked up, and sure enough he saw a man in green wearing a bamboo hat following behind Lu Hanting.
Seeing Jiang Fan looking over, the man quickly stepped forward and bowed down.
"Ding Lang, come before the Lord!"
Jiang Fan took a closer look and saw that it was indeed Ding Lang: "It's a coincidence that you came here."
Ding Lang said: "The decisive battle is imminent. It would be better for Ding Lang to stay elsewhere and come directly to the tent to listen."
Jiang Fan nodded: "I'm serious. We'll talk about old times later. Come and see if this route is arranged by them."
Ding Lang stepped forward and observed carefully, "Yes, although my subordinates, Hidden Man, do not know the whole situation, looking at the transfer situation, it seems that they want to use Wuyou Valley."
Huang Teng was frightened that Jiang Fan had already made arrangements, and he was also greatly surprised: "Worry-free Valley?"
Jiang Fan looked at him: "Does the governor know this place?"
Huang Teng said: "This place is a herringbone intersection. On the right is Wuyou Valley, which is named after Pheasant Yutang. It means that if we guard this place, we can sit back and relax. Probably because if we rush to Pheasant Yutang from this direction, we have to go around. If you travel a thousand miles, you can only pass through Wuyou Valley, because the fork on the left leads to a hidden sect... Yaowang Valley."
Ding Lang nodded: "What this person said is true. It is impossible for our army to cross the high mountains with no roads without supplies. If we don't go around, we can only go through the Wuyou Valley. As for the Yaowang Valley, it is the Hidden World Sect. According to legend, the sect has never been in conflict with the world. It is said that its sect members are all concentrating on refining elixirs and medicines. In recent decades, almost no one has heard of anyone seeing their disciples, and it is not known whether they still exist. If it were not for this follow-up investigation of the Supreme Emperor , I didn’t even know there was such a sect.”
Huang Teng said: "Huang also heard from his ancestors. Little is known about this sect in southern Xinjiang. Our ancestors once said that during the Anzong period of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was an imperial order that no one was allowed to intrude. It was rumored that even Taiyue and Taihua would This place is classified as a forbidden area. Although no disciples of the disciples have been seen out in recent decades, even the Zheng family and the Xiang family have maintained enough respect for Yaowang Valley. Not only is the terrain difficult, but it also has a large mountain protection formation. It is not suitable for passage either in terms of terrain or reputation.”
Ding Lang nodded: "The reason why Yaowang Valley is Yaowang Valley is because it is said that an immortal Medicine King made medicine here. An Zong once asked for elixirs here and saved his life. There is also a legend that some of the Five Elders also came here. I asked for medicine, and although the root cause of the disease was affected, I finally saved my life. It sounds like he is the sick man elder."
"And my late king of Chu, if I hadn't obtained a magical elixir from here to extend my life, I might have been physically destroyed when I was young, and the year would never end." Huang Teng said with a little respect.
Jiang Fan listened quietly, but there was a strange curve in the corner of his mouth: Yaowang Valley... This is the last link in the layout process, an interesting link...
To say that Southern Xinjiang is really a dangerous place, it is different from the endless open grasslands in Northern Xinjiang. It is full of high mountains and dense forests, and is rugged and difficult to navigate. It is not easy to hide people.
Ten days later, Jiang Fan finally saw the herringbone intersection.
It's particularly weird. The Worry-Free Valley on the right is surrounded by dozens of steep and towering peaks, but the roads in the valley are all paved with gravel, with not much vegetation, and it looks very smooth.
On the cliff wall at the entrance, there are three large and elegant characters - Wuyou Valley, painted with red dye, which is very bright.
Looking to the left, there are giant trees and grass, overgrown with thorns, and the line of sight is directly blocked. Not only does it seem that there is no road at all, but you don't even know how deep it is.
There is a large stone standing next to the entrance. It is broken in the middle. The upright part is engraved with a very scrawled word "Valley". The upper part lying on the ground is probably engraved with the words "Yao Wang".
This contrast is too stark. No wonder those who know this sect seriously doubt whether Yaowang Valley still exists.
Jiang Fan was confused: "Didn't you say that this place was once very respected? Why is it like this? No one took care of it?"
Huang Teng said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. The Medicine King Valley has only been established for a hundred years. The reason why it is famous among the top people is because of the magical methods of the Medicine King. Later, it was said that the Medicine King wanted to go into seclusion. The Three Hundred Miles Medicine King The valley was completely closed, and the scale of the work was astonishing. Even the entrance was rumored to be under the influence of the King of Medicine, and no one dared to set foot in it easily. Therefore, there was no one to take care of it. After decades, it has become like this. "
"Captain Huang really knows everything about southern Xinjiang, but..."
He was a little amused: "How come this Lord Medicine King has such a name, and he is still the King of Medicine? It sounds awkward."
