You Junda, who wanted to understand, had already made a decision. He nodded and said without any nonsense:
"What the wise brother said is absolutely true. If this is the case, I can make it in time. As for the second brother, just leave it to me. Then we can all go to Daxing City to have fun together."
The three of them agreed to have dinner in You Mansion and rest for the night. Fan Hu and Qin Qiong continued on their way.
With Fan Hu and Qin Qiong present, the birthday celebration team did not always follow the official route, but walked wherever was convenient.
On the one hand, not all places in this huge Sui Dynasty have official channels, and some places have fallen into disrepair.
On the other hand, some official roads took long detours to facilitate construction, which in turn wasted more time.
Most people choose to take the official route, because in this world, there are too many bandits and thieves. On the small road, if you are not careful, you will encounter a robber.
But Fan Hu and the others had no such scruples.
If they really meet someone who can't open their eyes, the two of them wouldn't mind letting these thieves feel how precious life is.
"After passing Canghu Mountain, there is a place called Doujiazhuang outside. It is much faster to get there than the official road."
Qin Qiong said with some emotion.
After hearing Qin Qiong's words, Fan Hu nodded in agreement:
"You can go straight from here without taking a long detour, which saves you several days. Liu Si, Wang Wu and the others will also be able to relax a lot."
Liu Si and Wang Wu are the two Jianbu.
Listening to the conversation between Qin Qiong and Fan Hu, their expressions were a little strange. Although this road is close, if I ask their opinions, they would rather take the official road if they are tired.
However, in this team, they are the ones who bear the burden and have no say.
Qin Qiong and Fan Hu were both here for the first time, and they only found out about this trail after asking the villagers.
The villagers tried their best to persuade Fan Hu and others not to go here. Although the journey can be shortened by three days from now on, it is extremely dangerous.
The name of Canghu Mountain is not for nothing.
There really are big insects in the mountains.
In the early years, there were still many people who tried to save trouble by passing through Canghu Mountain. As a result, they were attacked by giant insects and died on the spot, becoming their food.
Over time, Canghu Mountain became famous and no one dared to pass by it anymore.
In recent years, many hunters have gone to the mountains to hunt tigers, but most of them have returned without success. The unlucky ones have had takeaways come to their doorsteps to feed the tigers.
However, Fan Hu and Qin Qiong did not pay too much attention. Not to mention the big bug thing, it's just a rumor in the countryside. Even if there is a big insect, it will not affect Fan Hu and the other two.
If you meet one, just do it for the people.
The main reason is that it saves three days of journey, which is really comfortable. Riding horses every day is also tiring.
If it weren't for the two Jianbu and the need to bring those gifts, Fan Hu and Qin Qiong could gallop on their horses and do whatever they wanted without any worries.
But when walking and carrying something, the two of them have to control their speed. Isn't it troublesome to stop and go?
That's why Fan Hu and Qin Qiong decided to take the shortest route.
Entering the Canghu Mountain area, there are dense woods everywhere. Because of the cold weather, the leaves have changed color but have not completely withered.
Such a scenery has a unique charm.
Perhaps feeling the cold and silent atmosphere, the two Jianbu were a little panicked. They did not dare to delay and followed Fan Hu with all their strength. The speed was actually much faster.
In fact, the two Jianbu didn't know what methods Fan Hu and Qin Qiong had. They just heard that these two men were extremely skilled in martial arts and very invincible.
If they didn't have the protection of Fan Hu and Qin Qiong, if they really encountered a big insect, they might not even be able to survive.
Along the way, time was still running out.
If you want to go to Canghu Mountain, you can't delay, you must go before dark. Otherwise, it would be difficult to camp and rest in Canghu Mountain, and accidents would be more likely to happen at night.
The four of them didn't say much as they moved forward along the road.
This is a mountain path that should have been opened in the early years, but now it has grown a lot of weeds, which is enough to verify the villagers' words that no one has walked here for a long time.
This is already deep inside Canghu Mountain.
Apart from the occasional bird song, there wasn't much movement.
At this moment, Fan Hu frowned slightly, looked towards the mountain, and whispered:
"There seems to be someone on the mountain."
——
"Miss, we can't go any further inside."
In the dense mountain forest, a group of people were walking through the forest, led by a beautiful girl. Wearing powerful clothes, carrying a sword at his waist and a long bow on his back.
Listening to the obstruction from others, the girl didn't take it seriously, and continued deep into the forest with a steady pace, saying:
"Isn't it just a big insect? There are so many of us, why are we still afraid of it? Today, I am going to eliminate harm to the people and kill this big insect."
The followers behind the girl all looked at each other with embarrassment. Naturally, they didn't want to take risks, but if the girl decided to do so, there was nothing they could do about it.
At this moment, everyone could only pray in their hearts that this big insect would never appear. Even if he returns without success, it is still better than losing his life here for no reason.
The person who just opened his mouth to persuade had a look of helplessness on his face. My master only has an only daughter, and he loves her very much. All requirements are met.
This makes the girl different from ordinary women. She doesn't like things that are red. Instead, she is keen on dancing with swords and halberds. She is young but has good martial arts skills.
Every day I think about acting chivalrously and doing harm to the people.
After walking for a while, everyone noticed nothing strange and did not see the big insect. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was good that I didn't encounter any big insects. I could go back when it got dark.
However, this emotion did not last long, because the next moment, they saw a pile of bones.
Judging from the traces of bones, it has been several years.
"Miss, it's getting late. How about we go back first and come back next time?"
One of the followers fearfully reminded that although there were seven or eight of them, the thought of facing a big insect gave them a creepy feeling.
The girl turned around and said confidently:
"Don't worry, I'm here, it's just a big bug, there's nothing to worry about."
Everyone forced a smile, looking at the bones next to them in this deep mountain forest, it was really shuddering.
"Miss, why do I feel something is wrong..."
One person took a deep breath and said tremblingly.
The girl raised her eyebrows and looked around. There seemed to be something unusual here.
The forest was quiet, except for the slight footsteps of people, there seemed to be no other movement.
"No...be careful!"
Suddenly, the girl suddenly let out a exclamation, alerting the followers behind her.
Everyone noticed that an extremely oppressive aura was approaching them.
"Roar!"
The evil wind hit, a slightly fishy smell hit my face, and then the tiger's roar echoed through the forest.
