Zhou Gu looked at the dense mountain forest ahead, took a deep breath, and immediately told Zhang Yun to turn around and change direction.
Zhang Yun nodded silently and felt that he could not go any further. If he encountered two thousand soldiers, all armed with bows and arrows, and secret guards came from behind, it would be a dead end.
So, the two of them took the King of Nanchu and turned back.
After turning back for three miles, we took a detour and headed towards a mountain col.
An Jiu reminded Zhou Gu softly, "Fourth Young Master, bypassing this mountain col is the Lingshui River."
"Yes, take the water route." Zhou Gu nodded.
"But we don't have a boat."
"Then build the ship."
Anjiu was shocked, "Can you build a boat?"
"Not really." Zhou Gu replied, "But I've seen the drawings and I can give it a try. It's a simple raft. It's not difficult, right?"
Anjiu felt that it made sense. If it were a simple raft, it seemed to be not difficult, but it couldn't be tied up without a rope as thick as a child's arm. Wouldn't the raft fall apart as soon as it hit the water?
He had this question, but didn't say it.
Zhang Yun seemed to know what he was thinking and reminded, "This is deep in the mountains, and there is no shortage of rattan. That thing is stronger than rope."
Anjiu suddenly realized.
He looked at Zhou Gu and then at Zhang Yun, feeling that these two people were really smart.
Soon they came to the mountain col, climbed over, and saw the Lingshui River. Anjiu finally remembered what was wrong, "The river is frozen in winter, so there is no need to build a raft."
"It's useful. If you don't build a raft, it won't slide very fast at all. Once so many of us get on it, the ice will collapse. There will be no raft to float. If we fall into the ice hole, we will either freeze to death or drown." Zhou Gu said.
Anjiu thought it made sense and shut up.
Zhou Gu immediately ordered people to cut wood and build rafts.
Some people cut wood, others cut rattan, and Zhou Gu guided people to make simple rafts. Zhang Yun seemed to understand some principles and offered some opinions.
Soon, twenty simple rafts were made.
Zhou Gu grabbed the King of Nanchu and said "let's go" to Zhang Yun. The three of them were on a raft, and Bento slid out first.
Zhou Gu could control the balance by himself. Zhang Yun held on to the edge of the raft with one hand and held the King of Nanchu tightly with the other. I thought to myself that this raft seemed quite sturdy, strong and fast. Human wisdom is indeed inexhaustible.
The King of Nanchu fainted, but fortunately Zhou Gu and Zhang Yun held him with one hand, saving him from being thrown out. The raft was moved so fast by Zhou Gu that it slid forward like an arrow from the string, so much so that King Nan Chu felt like the wind was blowing on his face and he couldn't open his eyes for a long time.
After King Nan Chu adapted, he reluctantly opened his eyes and looked back. He and Ye Guixue's secret guards followed closely behind, but they were just dark afterimages.
King Nan Chu turned to look at Zhou Gu again. This little thing looked very stable, energetic and excited.
Why is he so excited?
Are you excited to finally get around your pursuer?
Zhang Yun understands Zhou Gu's excitement. Every three years, Daliang Capital holds a dragon boat race. Growing up, young master Zhou has never missed a dragon boat race. He has been committed to winning the first place since he was a young child. Now, he is afraid that Think of the ice on the Lingshui River as a dragon boat race.
Just a few wooden wheels on the raft, which he used as fulcrums on wooden poles to run forward. Most people really couldn't do it well, but he was the only one who had this ability.
It can be seen that those who know how to play, and those who know how to play tricks, at critical moments, this is also a survival skill.
He doesn't know this skill.
Looking at the secret guards behind them, they have disappeared. It can be seen that they cannot play with this thing. Even if they can play, it is very slow.
He reminded Zhou Gu, "Brother Zhou, wait for the secret guards. If we leave the secret guards behind and wait out of Lingshui River, if we encounter a large number of killers again, the three of us will not be able to cope with it."
Zhou Gu responded, "Don't worry, the river is still long. I'm tired of playing and can't reach the end."
Zhang Yun felt relieved after hearing this and thinking about it.
After the King of Nanchu got over his dizziness, he finally found some fun and said to Zhou Gu, "You are really good at everything you do."
Zhou Gu proudly said, "That's right, father-in-law, just look at it, I can always take you safely."
The King of Nanchu wanted to stop talking too soon, but he didn't want to curse himself. He also wanted to be safe.
The two thousand soldiers who were ambushing in the forest unexpectedly caught up from behind before anyone came. Nangong Zheng's face was not very good. He stared at the Lingshui River, looked at the wood cut by the river, and said to the Yutian County Sheriff who came to apologize. Nangong Zhen, a branch of the Nangong family, kicked him hard, "Trash!"
Nangong Zhen was kicked to the ground by Nangong Zheng, and he apologized with a pale face, "Master Zheng, please forgive me."
"Are you just going to stay in the mountains and ambush? Don't forget that you have two thousand soldiers in your hands! You are ambushing me. What are you afraid of them? The total number of secret guards around them is less than 200." Nangong Zheng Looking at him coldly, "You deserve to die!"
Nangong Zhen was horrified and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy and hugged Nangong Zheng's legs, "Young Master Zheng, I beg you to spare my life. I am willing to sacrifice my merits."
"How do you turn your merits into crimes?" Nangong Zheng asked with a small face.
Nangong Zhen immediately said: "I'll take the people to chase after you."
Nangong Zheng looked at the front of the Lingshui River, and he agreed with this, and immediately said: "Get up immediately, take your men and horses, hurry up, and run along the Lingshui River. Even if the horse is killed, stop it at the Dongshui Ferry in advance. I will ask Zhou Gu, you can’t escape if you take off your wings.”
"Yes, yes, I'll go right away." Nangong Zhen got up from the ground, immediately led two thousand cavalry, and chased along the Lingshui River.
After Nangong Zhen left, Nangong Zheng told those around him, "Everyone, follow me to Qihuan Mountain. I want to see whether Zhou Gu exits the Lingshui River at Qihuan Mountain or at Dongshui Ferry."
The leaves should be falling.
Zhou Gu finally got tired after skating all day. He stopped the raft and said to Zhang Yun, "Can you come?"
"Yes." Zhang Yun felt that it was not difficult to master the trick. What was difficult was how to be as fast as Zhou Gu. He said, "I'm just not as fast as you."
"As long as you can come, you don't have to go too fast, just wait for the secret guards." Zhou Gu rubbed his sore arm and sat down to rest with King Nan Chu.
The King of Nanchu saw that his back was dark and said, "The wound is broken. Stop and bandage it first!"
"Father-in-law, I'm fine, just a minor injury." Zhou Gu leaned on him unceremoniously, "Just let me lean on you for a while and take a nap."
King of Southern Chu: "..."
Okay, anyway, this thing is waiting to be the wife of his daughter. He cherishes his life very much. Since it is a minor injury and he doesn't want to care about it, it should be fine.
He let Zhou Gu lean on him, and after a while, he heard his even breathing, and he really fell asleep. Looks very tired.
Zhang Yun was concentrating on sliding forward while holding up the wooden pulley of the raft, thinking that this thing looked simple but was really difficult to slide. Compared to Zhou Gu, his speed was more than half slower.
Dear babies, monthly pass, okay?
