The news sent by Fengyue was from three days ago.
The place where they are currently located is thousands of miles away from Death Valley in Wanren Mountain.
Su Rong immediately said to Ye Guixue: "Guixue, take a look at the terrain map. Is there the closest road to Wanren Mountain?"
Ye Guixue quickly opened the terrain map, looked at it for a moment, and nodded to Su Rong, "Yes, there is, but this road has high mountains and ridges, making it difficult for cavalry to travel."
Unlike them, in order to cut off Han Yin, they took the shortest road, but at least the horses could climb through it. Now there is a road here. In the middle, you have to climb mountains and cliffs, and go through mountain streams and ravines. People can walk on it, but horses can't. .
"If we take this road, how many days will it take to get there? How much faster will it be than an ordinary road?" Su Rong asked.
"It can be reached in two days." Ye Guixue said: "But if the princess takes the main road with her cavalry, she can also arrive in two days."
Su Rong stared at the terrain map and discussed with him, "What if the infantry takes the mountain road and the cavalry takes the mainland, and the troops are divided into two groups?"
Ye Guixue nodded, "Be more sure, one of them will arrive first."
"Okay, let's do it like this." Su Rong looked at him, "Gui Xue, you and Qin Ruo, together with 50,000 infantry, can we take the mountain road? Fengling and I will take the 50,000 cavalry on the main road."
After all, the mountain road is difficult to find, so you have to go to the snow at night to lead the way.
"Okay." Ye Guixue had no objection.
Su Rong looked at Qin Ruo again, "I will give Lanzhi to you, and she will bring some secret guards to protect you."
Qin Ruo knew that the matter was urgent and nodded, "Okay, don't worry, Princess."
Therefore, the three of them decided to immediately divide their troops into two groups and head to Death Valley in Wanren Mountain.
At the same time, Fengyue led King Nanchu, Zhou Gu, Zhang Yun and the secret guards to hide and seek with the killers of the Nangong family in Death Valley.
Either you suddenly appear and kill me, or I suddenly appear and kill you. It's like going around a maze, and I've been going around it for several days.
On this day, Fengyue said to Zhou Gu with a white face: "Fifty thousand private soldiers of King Liu'an, the Fourth Young Master, have surrounded Wanren Mountain and are searching the mountain inch by inch. I passed the news to the master, but I don't know what the master wants." It may be received in time, maybe two days, maybe three days. It may take another two or three days, or three or five days, before she gets the news and comes here, maybe. Can we last this long?"
"You have to hold on even if you can't hold on for so long." Zhou Gu was still calm and stared at the distant mountains expressionlessly, "It's best to have a heavy snow now. The mountains will be blocked by heavy snow and the mountain road will be difficult to travel. King Liu'an's 50,000 soldiers and horses, Then I can’t get in.”
Zhang Yun glanced at the sky and sighed, "No snow."
The King of Nan Chu looked very ugly on the side, "Chu Qian actually raised fifty thousand soldiers and horses privately. He is really ambitious."
Zhou Gu turned to look at King Nan Chu, seemingly speechless, "Father-in-law, how did you get to this point?"
Before he had a thorough understanding of the situation in Nanchu, he never imagined that there were sinkholes everywhere in Nanchu that could bury people to death.
Nan Chu Wang Yianyan said, "I didn't want to live for those years, but for the sake of my ancestors' inheritance, I could only grit my teeth and hold on for a breath, like a walking zombie. Later I found out that I still have a daughter, and I finally survived this breath and became stronger." , what can I do in five years? There are too few things that can be done. In the ten years when I was not in charge of the affairs, the Nangong family was a foreign relative and was so powerful that even the Prime Minister's Office had to stay away. In the clan, King Liu'an had the ability and power. It creates a three-legged alliance, which is a check and balance. All I want is for the government to be stable. When I die, I will choose a descendant in the clan to adopt me. As for what happens to Nanchu after I die, I can't control it."
Zhou Gu looked at him and said, "Are these secret guards around you? Look, we have almost taken the entire Nanchu from north to west to south and now to the east. I don't see your power either. , I only saw that the Nangong family was out in full force to pursue and kill them, and they also saw the 50,000 private soldiers raised by King Liu'an, but the 50,000 soldiers and horses you had in Xiling were not available and could not be used."
He was so frustrated that he didn't even know whether he should regret his blind decision and go to the capital to steal the king. This has resulted in the current passive situation of narrow escape.
It really irritated him to death.
If his grandfather and the prince knew that he was so capable, and that he was still jumping around with his father-in-law under the heavy net of the Nangong family, they might praise him for how promising he was.
But only he knew in his heart that he wanted to cry.
Various life-saving pills supported by countless precious medicines collected from the barrier forest can't make him feel at ease. Fifty thousand soldiers and horses, damn, if he only deals with those crazy dogs of the Nangong family, he can still It can be dealt with, but what should he do if 50,000 soldiers and horses seal off the mountain and search every inch?
Hanging from the southeast branch?
It's not that he can't let go of his newly minted father-in-law, but he can't let go of himself who can't let go of Su Rong.
Why.
The King of Southern Chu looked at Zhou Gu and said: "The power I cultivated when I was the crown prince was destroyed by Zhen Min and his pro-Wei Dynasty. At that time, I sent people to assassinate the Wei Emperor and disrupt the Wei royal family, and almost all of them were destroyed. Later, my father died and I ascended the throne, and then the news of Zhen Min's tragic death in the Wei Dynasty spread to Nanchu. From then on, I didn't want to live anymore. I was confused and confused. What kind of influence could I cultivate? I had to live day by day."
Zhou Gu was at a loss for words, "In this case, it is understandable that it is not easy for you, father-in-law."
Back then, Zhen Min married the Wei Dynasty and caused chaos in the Wei Dynasty. It turned out that she was not able to do it alone with the secret guards left to her by Prince De Rui. It turned out that Prince Nan Chu used almost all the forces he cultivated to create Because of the chaos, Zhen Min probably had no intention of marrying Da Wei, but when she found out she was pregnant, she had no choice but to fake her own death to escape from the chaos.
If she could escape smoothly and hide the truth, someone must have attracted the firepower caused by the civil strife in the Wei royal family.
He thought, what was His Majesty Daliang doing at that time? He is also a prince, so he is probably glad that Zhenmin agreed to marry Dawei and keep his throne, right?
He respected the King of Nan Chu a little, sat up straight, and whispered: "No wonder you won the heart of your mother-in-law after you snatched her love with a knife."
King of Southern Chu: "..."
Although this may not sound good, it is true. He did not refute, anyway, no matter how many years had passed, everyone in the world had seen that period of history, and everyone knew that he had snatched Zhenmin from Xie Yuan, but he could not keep it, and Da Wei wanted to marry her.
In front of his family and the world, his children's personal relationship seemed insignificant, which made him hate Zhen Min's righteousness and the selfishness of Emperor Liang.
Therefore, when she heard that Su Rong gave up Ye Guixue and chose Zhou Gu, judging from a few months ago, there was really no advantage in choosing Zhou Gu when she came back to seize the throne, but she still chose it. He was helpless and relieved at the same time. After all, his daughter had his blood. If Zhenmin hadn't begged so hard back then, he would have refused to let her go and marry Da Wei. He didn't care if the world fell, whether it was Daliang's or Da Wei's. If the Southern Chu people and the Wei Dynasty want to fight, they can fight to death and everyone will die together, but the Emperor of Liang is pleading with Zhenmin for the sake of righteousness, and she is a person with righteousness in her heart. What can he do? Method? Do you want her to hold a dagger and really die in front of him?
The past that was buried in the dust of history, when he really thought about it, made his heart ache, so painful that he suffocated and found it difficult to breathe.
Zhou Gu saw that King Nan Chu's expression changed and something was wrong. He quickly put his hand on his shoulder and comforted him, "Father-in-law, don't worry, there is no end to the road. Xiao Qi is already here. If she gets the news that we are trapped, she will She will definitely come to save us under the stars and the moon, and we must have a way to hold on until she comes to save us."
