Hou Kun

Chapter 291
It's not a good time to go into the mountains, the way ahead is confused, and the way back has been hidden in the wind and snow.

Na Jiu's hesitation was only for a moment, and he quickly made a decision.

The wind whistled and circled the mountain pass.These subordinates with him have all gone through life and death and have great experience in fighting.Ordinary people can't hear it even on a clear day, they are like cunning foxes, they smell the danger early - listening on the frozen hard road, the sound of horseshoes is approaching.

They dealt with several waves of chases along the way, all of which were solved quietly without Su Ge knowing.But also because of this, his people are getting fewer and fewer.However, killers of unknown origin emerge in endlessly, and their skills are getting stronger and stronger.

He took the second girl and was about to catch up with the second master.When he sees the second master, he will confess his errand.

The wind blows the snow foam, rolling between the heaven and the earth, the sound of the wind from all over the world, but there is a kind of silence that cuts off the world.

If he meets those people in such a place, he is not sure that he can protect the second girl.It won't work even if they are all filled in. There are too many people coming this time, and the power gap is too great.

So I had to push hard.Taking advantage of the snowstorm, as long as you rush through, there is always hope of surviving.

The foam rolled up by the wind wraps around his mouth, and he has to rush forward even if he can't open his eyes.A group of people barely entered the Taniguchi in the middle of nowhere, like a herd of sheep.

Soon, a group of chasing soldiers followed in the dark. When they reached the valley mouth, they reined in their horses and stopped to wander.The leader ordered to light a torch and visit at the mouth of the valley.The snow has become more and more dense, except for a little bit of road under the firelight, in fact, it is impossible to see clearly.If it was a sunny day, the crescent moon in the sky would hang high between the two mountains at this moment, pointing them to the fleeing team in the winding valley ahead.

After entering the canyon, the wind became stronger. If the horses they rode were not well-trained, they would have to stop.

After turning a corner with great difficulty, the wind eased, but the snow became denser. Then Jiu and the others had already turned into snowmen and snow horses.

A guard from the prairie rushed to Najiu, "Master, there is still some way to Zhuangzi in front, the snow is going to stay all night, if we can't get out, we will be trapped here."

They knew the result of being trapped in the mountains in such weather.

Najiu looked back at the carriage, the horse driving the shaft was not a war horse, if it wasn't for beating and pulling desperately, it wouldn't be walking at all.But in this way, they moved even slower.

According to this way of walking, I will not be able to go out tonight.

"This is a blizzard. Fortunately, it's the first one. It won't fall for a few days. At most, it will stop tomorrow morning. What I mean is that there must be a cave on this mountain. Find one for the second girl to hide, and send someone tomorrow." To pick."

This is a trick.

And in the current situation, it is also the only feasible way.

Those who were familiar with the snowy land with nine lives left one to accompany Suge to find a cave on the mountain, while the rest of them still drove out in the carriage to confuse the pursuers.

He still had hope in his heart, before it snowed, he had ordered someone to deliver a letter to the prince, now that he knew it was snowing, the prince would definitely send someone to meet him.

Standing higher, I saw a large area of ​​flames at the mouth of the valley, slowly approaching the canyon.

In the inn less than ten miles away from the valley, the second master Guanglu sat in front of the charcoal fire and read a book.The wind and snow hit the window, he frowned, looked around and returned to the book.

Lao Qi stepped on the charcoal brazier, and then went to take a look at the sky outside, restless, chatting about gossip.

"But it's too cold, how can it be colder if you go further north?" Qi Ye had never suffered from this kind of suffering.

"In the future, there will be fewer and fewer post stations. If you can't catch up, you will pitch a tent and spend the night in the wild. Now it's good." Guanglu buried in the book without raising his eyes.

Lao Qi has been walking for the past few days, with a hand stove in his hand, a bear skin tied on his leg, and his face is always wooden, "Second brother, my ear is itching hard today, probably because of chilblain, and I will return it in the future." If you want to sleep in the wild, won't you turn into frozen tofu?"

After complaining for a while, Cheng An came over to deliver hot wine, "Grandpa, Qiye, drink some wine to warm your body."

There is no other fun in such a day, the whole body is warmed up after drinking, and I have a good dream on the kang.He took a sip of the wine, praised repeatedly, and said, "Quickly, take the two wild rabbits you killed on the road today and roast them. No, I cleaned the cavity outside and roasted them here, so I sip hot wine," Cheng An Holding him up with a smile on his face, "How about Qi Ye would enjoy it? A while ago, our master took the time to kill a deer, and we will roast it when it snows. You drink first, there are stewed taro and roe in the charcoal fire." Potatoes are almost ready, you take out a stick and eat them."

After hearing this, Qi Ye was delighted, and pulled out a taro from the charcoal ashes and handed it to Second Ye. It was delivered on a stick and set over a fire.

The roe deer meat is really delicious, Qi Ye put heavy seasonings, and brushed the oil again and again, because in the inn, everything is complete, it will be ready in a while, he took out the knife on his body, picked the best leg meat and cut it The next piece, I cut into slices again, poured wine with Guanglu, and ate while facing the snowy sky outside the window.

Guanglu was a little worried, "It snowed at the end of October, exactly the same as last year. If it looks like this, people will freeze to death this winter. Let's hurry up, or later, the mountains are covered by snow, and we won't be able to reach the grassland years ago." gone."

Lao Qi shuddered inexplicably when he heard this.

It was already getting late, and the snow was so heavy, wouldn't Jiu really go into the mountains?
Seeing that he suddenly became agitated, Guanglu frequently looked out of the window and followed suit.Cheng An didn't know, so he looked outside, under the dark sky, only the lamp hanging in front of the inn was shining on the snow-covered eaves.

Lao Qi clutched his stomach and laughed a few times, "It's useless. After drinking so much, I'm going to go to the toilet. Cheng An, you can go with my grandfather."

Putting on a fox fur cloak and going out, the two of them looked for a place in the back corner.

"Cheng'an, they say that the khalka can't be taken out to pee in winter, it will freeze into popsicles?" Lao Qi purred.

Cheng An Yile, "Master, who did you listen to? Yes,,, it's not bad to say that. But it's not the time when a drop of water turns into ice."

"Then, if it's in the mountains right now, with just this snow, if it falls again, will people really freeze to death?"

Cheng An thought about it, looked up at the sky, and said with a serious face, "No, this kind of blizzard is rare even in Khalkha. It's so cold here, you said, if it was in the mountains, wouldn't it freeze to death? In the northernmost part of Khalkha, people go into the mountains every year to dig ginseng and beat the blind, and there are not a few people who break in the mountains."

Qiye shuddered.

"Then Jiu and the others are going to enter the mountain tonight?" Suddenly there was a sound from behind.Seventh Master bent his legs, turned his face twitching, and looked at his second master Guanglu who was looking at him coldly.
