"Anyway, you have to be more careful." He Siniang opened the kettle and filled the cups on the table one by one: "The next step is for a large force to act together. The ears and eyes everywhere cannot be underestimated."
"Pindao understands, but Si Niang, you do eat meat. Why are you always chewing on that paste?"
"I've eaten one piece, but the taste of the meat is a bit strange. Lao Qi, is this a serious beef?"
Luo Laoqi raised his head from the food and asked doubtfully: "How can the cow be so immoral? Did Xia Ji raise it?"
"Eh? You actually know Xia Ji?"
"Look at what you said, Fourth Mother." The grim-faced Taoist priest interjected: "I don't know about Lao Qi, but among all the unruly women in history, he is the clearest."
"Don't use your words to arrange things for Sajia."
"I have not wronged you." The grim-faced Taoist priest said, turning to look at He Siniang, and continued: "This should be yak meat. It is different from the ox we often eat. It is normal that Siniang is not used to it."
"I said it tastes weird."
"But this beef is a good thing. Let's go shopping on the street tomorrow to see if we can buy some dried meat. When we reach the inaccessible snow-capped mountains, we will have to rely on this thing to satisfy our hunger."
"Okay." "Okay."
In the next two days, the entire team stayed in Pibo City to rest and recuperate. Juezi Battalion took advantage of this time to prepare a large amount of supplies. Under the introduction of the local guide, they bought more than 20 yaks to form a mighty army. transportation team.
Except for Juezi Camp, everyone else was also busy, buying what they could, because everyone knew that after leaving here, they would never encounter towns again, and the consequences of the shortage of supplies on the plateau, needless to say, everyone I understand.
The rest time passed quickly, and the team set off again.
This time the team will move upstream along the Zangqu (Yarlung Zangbo River) until they reach the end of the river, and then reach the territory of Zhangzhong, which is the real snow-covered alpine zone.
The journey along Zangqu took more than half a month. During this period, everyone had gradually adapted to the plateau environment, and the team moved faster and faster. Finally, twenty days later, they arrived at a place called "Jiagu Pass" .
Jiagu Pass is a mountain pass in the Gangdise Mountains and one of the gateways to the Zhangxiong Kingdom. From here, enter the mountain and go west through the long valley to reach the capital of the Zhangxiong Kingdom - Qionglong Silver. city.
The team camped and stopped on a tidal flat a few miles away from Jiagu Pass. At this time, the guide informed Pei Shuang of the situation ahead and advised: "Although you can reach Qionglong Silver City from here, you will encounter elephants on the way. Xiong's checkpoint, there are so many people in our team, if you don't tell me the purpose of this trip, I'm afraid there will be misunderstandings with the other party."
According to the guide, Pei Shuang did not tell him the real situation before coming.
After hearing this, Pei Shuang shook his head and said, "We are not going to Qionglong Silver City, but to the abandoned ancient city of Bacho."
"B-Bacho?!" The guide's expression changed instantly: "You want to go to the land of the underworld?!"
"It's us." Pei Shuang smiled: "From the master's tone, do you know where that place is?"
"I don't know, I've never heard of it." The guide, who was nearly sixty years old, looked horrified. He shook his head in denial and spoke a little incoherently: "I don't know anything... I don't know..."
"Master, there's no need to hide it. I can find you as a guide, so I've naturally asked about you - you've been there once a long time ago, right?"
The guide's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he replied: "It's really impossible to go there! How about I return the money to you, sir, and you can find another guide?"
"Brother, please calm down." Jia Wusuan patted the guide and said, "I just mentioned a name. As for scaring you so much?"
"Adults, you really can't go there! It's an unbounded and lawless place. It's a place where evil spirits gather. It's impossible for ordinary people to survive there!"
"The more he talks about it, the more outrageous it becomes!" Tang Weiwu stepped forward, grabbed the guide's collar, and said angrily: "I have to make it clear to you, either go or die! Do you understand?"
"Sir! This is not forcing me to do anything.
What? "
"Stop talking nonsense, you just need to tell me whether to go or not!"
"Weiwu, don't be impulsive." Pei Shuang patted Tang Weiwu's arm and told him to loosen his hand. Then he turned to look at the guide, with a sinister smile still on his face, and said, "Do business with integrity. For this reason, since the master accepted my money, he must complete the task. Are you planning to trick us into living in vain in front of these hundreds of people?"
When the guide heard this, he couldn't help but look back, and saw that the soldiers behind him all had unkind expressions, and there were even bandit-like people like Luo Laoqi looking in the distance. Seeing this, the guide's heart became cold. He knew that he was on a pirate ship, so he quickly turned around and said, "Sir, it's not that I don't want to go, but that I entered there by mistake and can't remember it at all. Path!"
"I don't think you're going to suffer a bit, because you're not going to tell the truth." Tang Weiwu moved forward again.
Pei Shuang stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "It doesn't matter. If you can't remember, you can remember it slowly. We will camp here for a day. During this time, master, you can take good care of your memories."
After Pei Shuang finished speaking, he waved his hand for everyone to camp and rest on the spot, and then left Tang Weiwu to look after the team while he took the guide and Jia Wusuan to the main tent.
Everyone else also entered their tents.
This time when the team went out for action, the camping items used were all military supplies from the Juezi Battalion, so the tents were of very good quality. They were not only strong and durable, but also very spacious. One tent could accommodate more than ten people.
The eight people from Mushroom Gate were assigned to a tent. At this time, everyone laid out their bedding, placed their backpacks, and then sat or lay down to take a nap.
Within a moment, Luo Laoqi's snoring began to sound in the tent.
Those who had not slept need not sleep now. Zhang Xingdao, who was opposite him, sat up, looked at each other with the grimace Taoist priest, and then said with a smile: "Luo Baotou is so chivalrous that he can actually fall asleep in such an environment."
Before the Taoist priest with a grimace could reply, Xiahou Qi, who was looking irritated on the other side, also sat up and said first, "He is so heartless that sleep comes quickly. He usually feels less. As for letting Dong Ruhai take the position of Xiling's head." Are you going?"
"Nephew! How can you say such things to me!" Xia Houyu stopped.
"Humph!" Xia Houqi sneered and ignored Xia Houyu.
The grim-faced Taoist sneered and said to Xiahou Qi, "Why didn't you wait for him to wake up and say this to his face?"
"So what if you wake up?"
"Then you can give it a try. Although he is no longer the leader of Xiling, his ability to kill people has not diminished."
"Hey, please stop arguing." Qiu Laicai unexpectedly came out to smooth things over: "Aren't you all shocked by what the guide just said?"
