"Sure enough, is there another way?" Seeing Chu Ruo nodding, Hei Lu'er sighed softly, "Looking at it this way, the terrain is much more complicated than imagined. If you hadn't gone in advance, we would have You don’t know anything about this at all, and going there rashly may cause a lot of trouble.”
"Yes, little master, fortunately you told me in advance. Fortunately, I also know about this matter. Otherwise, if we rush over with a slap on our foreheads, it will only be extremely dangerous and the road ahead will be uncertain. When something happens, , life or death can only depend on fate."
"Although the words don't sound nice, the truth is like this." Hei Lu'er nodded, "The ancestors of the Wanyan family are indeed scheming. Their descendants can't compare with them at all. Even their My ancestors are not as good as even one little finger!"
"You are right, but if they are not useless, wouldn't we be miserable?"
Hei Lu'er looked at Chu Ruo and nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with his statement. As his opponent, it was better to be stupid.
"Then again, the ancestors of the Wanyan family made so many tricks on the back mountain of Wangyue Cliff. If it is really just used to hide gold, silver and jewelry, it would be too much and a waste of natural resources."
"You are right. This is also a question that has always puzzled my subordinates. According to the adult of the child who came to learn martial arts, this back mountain is a treasure house, filled with gold, silver and jewelry. Yes, but do gold and silver jewelry need so many traps? Do they need so many cold arrows? All the methods on the battlefield are used, which shows that it is not just gold, silver and jewelry."
"Did you hear something?"
"I didn't hear the news, but wouldn't it be nice for me to visit a teahouse or a library or something?" Chu Ruo chuckled, "Then I boldly speculated that the real treasure house in the back mountain should be the so-called Wanyan family. Maybe it has something to do with your luck." He looked at Hei Lu'er, "Is your guess reasonable?"
"This idea is in the right direction. It is indeed related to the Wanyan family." Hei Lu'er sighed softly, "His Highness once revealed that the real treasure in the back mountain should be related to the lifeblood of the Wanyan family. Those Gold, silver, jewelry, etc. are just a hood to deceive those greedy people with evil intentions. Judging from your experience and description, this is indeed the case."
"Is that really so? But..." Chu Ruo curled her lips in disgust, "Isn't this stuff like lifeblood and luck meant to deceive fools? The ancestors of the Wanyan family shouldn't look like that. That’s silly, and besides, the young highness of the young master’s family doesn’t look like the kind of person who would believe in such illusory things, right?”
"How do you know they are not?" Hei Lu'er chuckled, "You can't tell a person by his appearance."
"Little Master, you know what your subordinates are talking about, so you should stop making fun of your subordinates." Chu Ruo rubbed his forehead, "If there really is such a thing as lifeline or luck, then we are struggling here. Isn't it just a joke to go through all the trouble? If there really is such a thing, we can find a way to deal with it, and we don't have to work so hard, right?"
"Yes, if it is really that simple, you can use the so-called lifeline or luck to destroy a family, or even a..." Hei Lu'er sighed softly, "Not only did we become a joke, but the battle in the border town Wouldn’t it be a bigger joke for the dead soldiers?" He rolled his eyes, "The things in the back mountain may not be lifeblood, nor are they luck, but they are indeed the things that the ancestors of the Wanyan family value most and want to protect the most. s things."
"What you said is right." Chu Ruo nodded, "No matter what it is, as long as it doesn't fall into the hands of Wanyan Qingmu and the Japanese, we will win."
"You are right to think so. No matter what, we must deal with the Japanese completely."
"The new road that my subordinates found this time is actually not far from the path that I accidentally found the first time. It is directly opposite that path."
"Directly opposite? You said these two roads correspond, right?"
"Yes." Chu Ruo nodded, "I will make a bold guess that there is not only one road leading to the back mountain, but there should be at least four, and it is very likely that it will be in such a state." He left and right. Looking around, he found a small stick next to the corner of the table. He reached for it and drew a circle on the ground in front of him. "Little master, look, let's assume that this circle represents the platform of Wangyue Cliff. In the circle In front of it is the legendary cliff, which is impassable. And behind the circle is the road we can go up from the foot of the mountain. Then, the path leading to the back mountain can only be hidden on both sides of the platform, and It is very possible that there are not just two, but more." His stick drew an extension line outside the circle, "Little master, you see, this is my first way to the back mountain. , and this side..." He drew another line on the opposite side, "This is where I lead to the back mountain for the second time."
"I understand what you mean." Hei Luer followed his example and sat down cross-legged, and drew two more extension lines below, "You think there should be corresponding ones leading to the back mountain. Trail, right?”
"Yes." Chu Ruo nodded, "But this is my speculation and has not been confirmed."
"The speculation is not unreasonable. It is not difficult to confirm this. It is not too late to confirm it after Wanyan Qingmu is solved, isn't it?" Hei Lu'er raised an eyebrow at Chu Ruoyi, "Continue, How did you find this road?"
"I was indeed looking for it. This time I went out the night before and settled in the inn at the foot of the mountain. I checked out in the morning and happened to meet the shopkeeper. He knew me and asked me what I was going to do so early. , I said I was going back to my hometown to visit relatives. In fact, when I left the inn, it looked like I was walking on an official road, but within three miles, I turned to a small forest nearby. After completely disguising myself, I returned to the same route. .”
"At this time, returning the same way, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
"I'm just a homeless person, those people just hide." Chu Ruo laughed, "I went to the top of the mountain smoothly. There was no one around at that time, so I just walked around because I am a homeless person. The few people there didn't pay much attention to me. Soon, I found this road. Along this road, I walked cautiously towards the back mountain. It took less than a cup of tea. , encountered the first problem.”
"First question?" Hei Lu'er raised an eyebrow, "What is it?"
"They set up a net there, probably to stop those who discovered this road. The net was covered with all kinds of poisonous insects. I had to get rid of it before I could continue going down."
