Chapter 164
In the middle of the endless hills of the Misty Mountains.

A team of as many as 2000 people is braving the wind and snow raging in the misty mountains, walking with difficulty in the valley between the two peaks.

The howling cold wind was mixed with icy snowflakes, passing over everyone's faces, causing some pain on their faces.

At the front of the team, a golden dragon about 40 meters in length was opening the way for them. People walked forward with difficulty along the footprints of the dragon. Warm currents flowed from the dragon, warming them. everyone behind.

At this time, five days had passed since they entered the Misty Mountains from the high pass. Because of the snowstorm, Gao Yuan and others were besieged for two full days in the camp where they were stationed before.

When the blizzard weakened a little, they immediately set up their camps and braved the blizzard and continued to move forward. Unexpectedly, after walking for less than a day, the weather that had already eased turned sharply again.

Under the harsh weather conditions of wind and snow, the team immediately became unable to move an inch, so Gao Yuan had to transform into a golden dragon and stand at the front of the team, opening the way for everyone.

During this rush, Bilbo has complained to Gao Yuan more than once that Gandalf is a crow's mouth.

Gao Yuan took Bilbo's complaints seriously.

What the gray-robed wizard said was like a prophecy. What he said before entering the old dense forest road, which might make the journey not smooth, has now come true.

On the second day of entering the Misty Mountains, they encountered a blizzard; on the second night of being trapped in the valley, an avalanche occurred on their peak.

Fortunately, with the help of Gao Yuan, there were no casualties in the team, only half of the supplies were lost.

This is why they still have to continue on their way even though they are braving the blizzard. Their food reserves do not allow them to continue being besieged by the blizzard.

Coincidentally, shortly after starting again, Bilbo accidentally sprained his foot because he stepped on a gap in the snow.

So now you understand why Bilbo keeps complaining that Gandalf is a crow's mouth.

But fortunately, although the journey across the Misty Mountains was full of various hardships, it was always safe and sound.

It's just that the journey that was originally planned to be completed in ten days, now it took them fifteen days to walk out of this nightmarish misty mountain range.

During this period, the wind and snow raging among the mountains never stopped.

From the moment they really stepped out of the Misty Mountains, everyone felt physically and mentally exhausted.

In the wilderness between the Misty Mountains and Rivendell, after a short rest for two days, Bilbo finally set foot on the quiet and peaceful paradise like a fairy tale with beautiful scenery - Glen.

When Bilbo followed Gaoyuan, Gandalf and others to the gate of Rivendell, the elf lord whom he hadn't seen for a long time had already been waiting here for a long time.

Obviously, such a large party cannot be hidden from Elrond's eyes, especially in the land of Rivendell.

When they walked out of the Misty Mountains, from the moment they set foot on Rivendell, he already knew the whereabouts of Gao Yuan and others.

Elrond was not the only one who greeted their team returning from the Lonely Mountain. Behind him were countless heavily armed elf soldiers.

This can't help but make Gao Yuan feel a little guilty. His father-in-law is asking himself to settle the score!

Not only did he abduct his daughter, but he also abducted his two sons and more than 2000 elf soldiers along the way. In other words, no one would believe that the other party did not come to settle accounts with him.

To Gao Yuan's surprise, his father-in-law ignored him and went directly to Arwen who was beside him. The father and daughter hugged each other tightly.

"My dear daughter, you shouldn't take the risk yourself. Knowing that your mother left us because of those orcs, I will send you to Lothlorien. All these years, your grandmother Galadry I raised you just to prevent your mother's tragedy from repeating itself to you."

After the hug, Elrond first "severely reprimanded" the wayward Arwen.

Immediately afterwards, he glared at Gao Yuan with fierce eyes: "And now you put yourself in danger for that ranger. If something happens to you, how should I tell your mother when I go to Aman Island in the future?" Confession?"

Hearing what Elrond said about Sang and Huai, Gao Yuan touched his nose in embarrassment.

Well, it seems that my favorability in Elrond's heart has almost disappeared, and the favorability I have accumulated with great difficulty has now become "that ranger".

Facing Elrond's reprimand, Arwen felt a little guilty in her heart. She looked at her father who was worried about her with some distress, but she was quibbling for Gao Yuan: "No, father, this has nothing to do with Gao Yuan, it's my fault. Advocate to go to Gushan to help Gaoyuan."

"El Ladan and I can also testify that we both voluntarily went to Gushan to support, and all of this has nothing to do with Gaoyuan."

At this time, Elohir also stood up to defend Arwen and Gao Yuan.

Seeing the loyalty of the two uncles, Gao Yuan couldn't help giving the two brothers a thumbs up secretly.

"Father, you don't know how thrilling the battle that took place on Lonely Mountain was. Without our help, those dwarves and the elves of the woodland kingdom would all have to confess there."

El Ladan was tugged at the hem of his clothes by his brother, and quickly stood up to tell the necessity of going to support Gushan.

"There is an army of more than 5 half-orcs, and those dragons flying from the dry wilderness, and even the Ringwraiths under the Lord of Darkness have appeared here. Thanks to me, why are you pulling me?" Erla The more Dan talked, the more excited he was, completely ignoring his brother Elohir who was beside him frantically pulling hints at him.

Elrond narrowed his eyes, and turned his dangerous eyes to Gao Yuan: "Oh, even the ring spirits have appeared! There are also evil dragons, how many are there?"

"Elohir and I counted them, and there are a total of 86 of them." Elohir hurried forward and covered Elladan's mouth, preventing him from continuing.

"It's over. After it's over, talk less."

"Okay!!!" Elrond yelled angrily, stopping the two brothers from continuing to mess around.

"Do you think I really don't know anything about what you did in the Lonely Mountain? Lindir told me everything that happened in the Lonely Mountain." Elrond asked back.

As soon as Elrond finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Lindir, who had been unknown in the team.

Facing everyone's eyes, Lin Dier was still pretending to be calm.

In fact, his twitching eyebrows and dilated pupils had already betrayed him deeply, and this Elrond's adjutant was in a panic now.

"When Lindir escorted Gandalf to the Lonely Mountain, he was still wondering why Rivendell's army appeared there. He also sent a letter specifically asking me if there were any military arrangements outside of Guldu."

Seeing that Elrond was furious, Arwen hurried up to appease him: "Father, this is all my fault. If I hadn't made my own decision to go to support, all this would not have happened."

"El Ladan and the others were also worried about my safety, so they brought more than 2000 Rivendell soldiers with me. If you want to punish, punish me alone."

After all, Elrond still loves his daughter very much, so how could he really punish Arwen for this matter.

Elrond looked at Arwen who took the initiative to admit his mistake, and couldn't help feeling compassionate in his heart, and his tone gradually became calm: "I'm not angry that you led troops to support the Lonely Mountain, but I'm angry that you don't even have such an important matter. Didn't even notify me."

"Do you know how worried I was when I returned from Dol Guldur and found you all gone?"

Elrond's words made the two brothers and Arwen fall into silence. Of course they knew how much Elrond worried about them.

The more so, the more guilty they felt when facing Elrond.

Elrond broke free from Arwen who was holding his arm, and came to Gao Yuan with a serious expression, staring directly at Gao Yuan's golden pupil with sharp eyes.

Faced with Elrond's stern eyes, Gao Yuan thought he had made no mistake, so he straightened his chest and looked at him. The eyes of the two were like two lightning bolts colliding fiercely in the void.

"I have already learned from Lindir what you did in the Lonely Mountain." Elrond said in a deep voice.

Elrond suddenly punched Gao Yuan on the shoulder: "You boy, you did a good job!"
