"Your Majesty, a group of bandits has arrived, numbering about three to four thousand. It seems they have been lurking for a long time and are waiting for us."
"This old guy Zeng Sihai is very old, and he still hangs out with bandits."
"Your Majesty, there is a trail outside Black Wind Valley, but it is too narrow for the army to pass."
"The road ahead is long." Chen Nan frowned. If he couldn't pass that road, he would have no choice but to risk attacking the Black Wind Valley. If the time came to support Kyoto, he would become a laughing stock.
"The narrowest place can only accommodate one person, and the other side is a cliff."
"Well, we haven't reached the point of despair yet, let's lead the way." Chen Nan waved his hand, Gui Jianchou and others led the way, and the group continued to move forward.
When they came to a narrow path, everyone was shocked. This path actually grew out of the cliff.
This trail is not too far, less than a hundred meters. Although you can bypass the Black Wind Valley, there are dangers everywhere within these 100 meters.
On one side is a cliff more than fifty meters high, on the other side is a smooth stone wall, and below is a flat stone road. Even people walking on it, let alone horses, will fall.
Elder Yun did not want Chen Nan to put himself in danger, so he suggested: "Your Majesty, I will lead people over and wipe out all the bandits in the Black Wind Valley, and you will lead the army through the Black Wind Valley."
"Old Yun, it's just a trail. If I can't win this trail, how can I find a smooth road across the world?"
"Warriors, trouble is coming. If we go more than a hundred miles further, we just give up?" Chen Nan turned around and shouted to the people behind him.
"I am willing to work hard for Your Majesty and Daliang."
"Okay, come with me. I'll give you one hundred taels of silver and an official position for this road."
"Your Majesty, this is not possible. You are a rich man, so you must not take risks!" Mr. Yun quickly pulled the horse, refusing to let Chen Nan go first.
"Mr. Yun, do you think I can't beat a narrow road?"
“Your Majesty, that’s not what I meant.
"Anyway, I can't let you put yourself in danger." After thinking about it, Mr. Yun couldn't think of a suitable word to describe it, so he didn't even think of an excuse.
"Mr. Yun, let go. There are so many people here, all staring at me." Chen Nan naturally knew Mr. Yun's worries, but he had no way out.
Mr. Yun lowered his head and said nothing, but did not let go of the horse's rein. Chen Nan frowned and said angrily: "Gao Yun, you don't even listen to me. Do you want to rebel?"
"No, it's not." As soon as Mr. Yun heard that he was planning to rebel, he immediately knelt down and apologized to him.
But just as he reached the trail, his troubles began again.
The horse ran to the side of the trail, but did not dare to step forward. It was obvious that it felt the crisis, and Mr. Yun was immediately overjoyed.
He wanted to persuade him again, but Chen Nan had already cut off a piece of cloth to cover its eyes, preventing it from moving.
This time, the horse did not stop. In the worried eyes of everyone, he walked through this extremely dangerous trail as if taking a leisurely stroll.
"Stab it." The sound of tearing cloth came again, and a man on horseback covered his eyes and walked forward along the catwalk.
The sound of "chi la chi la" was heard endlessly, but none of the five thousand cavalry retreated, which made the smile on Chen Nan's lips grow stronger.
Nalan Mingzhu was wearing a black outfit and looked at Nalan Mingzhu aside with complicated eyes. She didn't understand why she wanted to hand this letter to him.
Moreover, she also killed Zeng Sihai and Chen Nan together. This was the best result for her, but for some reason, she always had an idea in her heart to tell him not to die.
Nalan Mingzhu didn't dare to think about his feelings at all, so he turned around and left. As soon as Nalan Mingzhu left, he felt something was wrong. He raised his head and looked towards the mountain, but there was no one there.
Because the passage was very narrow, only one person and one animal could pass through. When it got dark, everyone passed through. Chen Nan organized the team and realized that more than 20 people had fallen from the cliff.
But now was not the time to feel sad. He walked towards Black Wind Valley from another direction. Black Wind Valley was not a good place for the people of Minzhou.
On this side of the capital, the terrain is very gentle and not a dangerous place. This is why no one ambush here after Chen Nan left the capital.
Chen Nan divided into two teams and ran towards the cliffs on both sides of the Black Wind Valley. A group of bandits stood there, looking down intently, unaware that there was another person behind them.
"Kill me." Chen Nan gave the order, and the soldiers immediately rushed towards the bandits. It was because of them that they were forced to embark on this dangerous trail.
"Damn it, who is this?" The bandit leader finally came to his senses, but it was still too late.
In front of Zuoying's cavalry, the bandits were simply vulnerable. They were scattered in a single impact, and in the chaos, the bandit leader was also arrested.
"Please, please let me go." The bandit leader didn't even dare to raise his head, he just kept begging.
"Who sent you to intercept and kill me?" Chen Nan said directly without making any detours.
"It's a black-armored general. He asked us to stop the reinforcements who came to support us. He rewarded us with a thousand taels and made me an official."
The bandit didn't dare to hide his secrets. Instead, he took everything on himself.
"Hey, Zeng Sihai is really generous. I wonder what you call him?"
"This sir is my one-eyed dragon."
"Okay, let me tell you, I am the emperor. If you want to survive, you have to listen to me, you know?"
"You are the emperor, I understand, I understand." When the one-eyed dragon heard that it was the emperor, he suddenly felt bad and collapsed to the ground, his face pale.
"Okay, let your people attack this black-armored sergeant who is transporting food and grass. If you perform well, I will not only reward you with a thousand taels of gold, but also give you a hereditary position."
"Really or not, Your Majesty?" The one-eyed man felt that his luck had come so fast that it was unbelievable.
"Humph, I am the emperor and I keep my word. If you don't believe it, I can find someone else."
"My lord, my lord, I trust you, I will lead the men to kill you right now." Seeing the one-eyed dragon leaving happily, Mr. Yun frowned and said.
"Your Majesty, can such a person be trusted?"
"Mr. Yun, if there is any benefit, anyone can become our ally."
"But..." He paused and continued:
"Mr. Yun, don't worry. Of course I won't let such a person go. You let a ghost follow him. If he doesn't want to, I will kill him and replace him." Location."
"As commanded."
The ambush in Black Wind Valley was over, and the follow-up infantry also arrived, but this time the losses were heavy, less than 10,000 people.
