Chapter 485 The moon is like smoke: Go south to Yuzhou

When Yue Ruyan woke up, she was on a carriage in the Yue clan, being taken care of by a maid.

Outside the car was the sound of horse hooves.

"Miss, you're awake." The maid said happily, quickly opened the curtain of the carriage and said, "Master, the lady is awake."

Yue Ruyan looked around blankly and wanted to sit up, but her throat itched and she coughed violently, as if she wanted to cough out her heart, liver, spleen and lungs.

The maid quickly helped Yue Ruyan sit up, patting her back gently and said, "Miss, the doctor said you were stimulated, and your energy and blood attacked your heart and mind, and you were dizzy. It's nothing serious."

Hearing this, Yue Ruyan suddenly woke up and remembered what happened before she fell into coma. Just when she was about to ask the maid, the carriage stopped, a woman walked in, and the carriage continued to move.

"Ruyan, do you feel better?"

"mother."

Yue Ruyan called out to the woman, and then asked urgently: "Mom, I'm fine, where are the people?"

Yue Ruyan's mother was also very sad to see her daughter like this. She also knew the importance of these people to the Yue family, and was just thinking about how to persuade them.

The most important thing is that his great-grandma entrusted the Yue family to him before she died, but it has only been so long now that the Yue family has become what it is now.

Yue Ruyan's face turned pale, and she sat in a daze, looking down, as if she were dead.

You know, there is only one highway from Longyou to Hexi, which is to take the official road through Qinguan, which is also called the westbound corridor.

The westbound corridor is an avenue built around the Wuhang Mountains. The pass connecting this avenue to the Hexi Land is called Qinguan.

The westbound corridor was opened more than 2,000 years ago, and after successive repairs by dynasties, it has been perfected and the road is smooth.

These people are the foundation of the Yue family.

"What, crossing the Wuhang Mountains?"

Without these people, the troops in the Yue family headquarters may be in turmoil, and it will be difficult for the Yue family to continue to develop in one place.

Sympathy for those people is part of the reason, but more importantly, the reason why the Yue family is able to dominate Longyou is precisely because of the hard work of these people. The ancestors of these people have been the "household servants" of the Yue family for generations. The Yue family cannot survive today without them.

Yue Ruyan suddenly said: "Mom, how long have I been unconscious? What's the situation now?"

"The common people." Yue Ruyan's mother was silent, and after a long while she said: "Ruyan, mother, you know you care about the common people, but in that situation, you couldn't take care of them at all. The barbarians were chasing after them so hard. If they were taken by force, They evacuate together and we all die."

Yue Ruyan said in shock.

"It's been two hours. Jinxia Barbarian is still chasing after him. General Gongsun plans to cross the Wuhang Mountains." Yue Ruyan's mother said.

On the map, the straight line distance between Longyou and Hexi is not far, but in fact there are several large mountains in between, called the Wuhang Mountains.

Whether doing business or marching, we all take this road.

It seems that the westbound corridor goes around the Wuhang Mountains and the distance is longer, but in fact it saves time and effort.

"Where is General Gongsun? I want to see him."

Yue Ruyan was indeed not a big problem. After putting on his battle armor, he rode a horse to catch up with Gongsun Yan who was walking in front. The two rode horses and kept pace. Yue Ruyan said: "I heard that General Gongsun is going to lead his army to cross the Wuhang Mountains?"

"General Yue is awake, are you okay?"

Gongsun Yan first asked with concern, and after learning that everything was alright, he replied: "Yes, the westbound corridor must be inaccessible now. The barbarians have an ambush there. If you want to return to Chongzhou, you can only cross the Wuhang Mountains."

"Does General Gongsun know how steep the Wuhang Mountains are? There are many places in it filled with miasma. If we accidentally get lost, so many of us may be in danger. Besides, even if we don't get lost, how easy is it to cross the mountains?" Yue Ruyan frowned and said
"General Yue, don't worry too much. As far as I know, before the westbound corridor was opened, the ancients in Longyou were crossing the Wuhang Mountains to reach Hexi. There must be ancient roads left by the ancients. Ma is in trouble. A little, but it’s just a good way to get rid of the pursuing barbarians,” Gongsun Yan said.

Yue Ruyan had also heard of the ancient roads in the Wuhang Mountains, she said: "But after the westbound corridor was opened, no one has passed here for more than two thousand years, and it has long been deserted.

Besides, even if it's intact, we won't be able to get out for less than two or three months. It's already October and winter is coming soon. If anything changes, we will all be frozen to death in the Wuhang Mountains. "

Hearing Yue Ruyan's worry, Gongsun Yan said in a deep voice: "I understand what General Yue said, but when the westbound corridor is inaccessible, how can we return to Chongzhou without crossing the Wuhang Mountains? We will be chased by these barbarians. , the same death?"

Yue Ruyan lowered her eyes: "Then I won't go to Chongzhou."

"Where to go?"

"Go south to Yuzhou." Yue Ruyan said.

Hearing this, Gongsun Yan narrowed his eyes: "General Yue, aren't you kidding me?"

"At this time, how can I still be in the mood to joke with you?"

Gongsun Yan: "..."

Seeing that Yue Ruyan was serious, Gongsun Yan said: "But there is no history between us and Chen Mo, and General Yue, don't forget, Chen Mo has sent a message to your Yue clan against thieves. Do you still count on it? He takes us in?"

Yue Ruyan also knew this. If she hadn't been desperate, she wouldn't have gone to Longyou.

She took a deep breath and said: "Today is different from the past. I see the overall situation of right and wrong. Now that foreign enemies are invading and the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, we should unanimously deal with the outside world. Besides, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Now that Longyou has fallen, what will be the next step for the Jinxia barbarians? , it must be Yuzhou, our strength is not weak, there is no need for him to leave us out. "

Seeing Yue Ruyan's words, Gongsun Yan couldn't find a reason to refute for a while.

After holding it in for a long time, Gongsun Yan finally said: "Isn't General Yue afraid that he will annex you?"

Yue Ruyan glanced at Gongsun Yan and moved her lips. She wanted to say that if she went to Chongzhou, she would be annexed. However, she was very kind to the Yue family, so she didn't say it. Instead, she said: "It's good to be alive."

Gongsun Yan was silent.

Without Longyou, Yuezhi is no longer a rootless duckweed, so it doesn't matter if she takes refuge with Chen Mo.

But his roots are in Chongzhou, how can he enter Yuzhou.

"Forgive me for not agreeing with what General Yue said." Gongsun Yan said.

Yue Ruyan knew what he was worried about, and after being silent for a long time, she said: "Then I'm afraid I have to say goodbye to General Gongsun here. In order to repay General Gongsun's great kindness, I will go back later and lead my troops to divert the pursuing Jin. Xia Manzi, half of the property carried by the Yue family can be given to General Gongsun, and he will be more careful after returning it."

Gongsun Yan: "..."
