Traveling through the Three Kingdoms: She brings unlimited supplies to build infrastructure

Chapter 101 End
The temperature in the Northland is really cold in early spring, especially in the mountains.

The sun has not yet fully risen, and the mountain trails are filled with thick fog.

The fog is so thick that even the breeze stirred up by your hand can stir up vortexes in it.

This used to be a trail for transporting timber, but it has been abandoned for many years and is almost the same as the animal trail in the mountains.

Usually few people come here, and few people know about this trail.

The son of a leader named Deng once shouldered the responsibility of encircling and suppressing wild beasts in the mountains.

The hunters in the village must be led twice a year to hunt and kill wild animals, so as to maintain the herd of animals in the village at a certain number without harming the civilians or delaying farming.

He thus knew the path leading to the main house.

A few years ago, he would often go hunting in the mountains with his bow and arrows, and at the same time climb up the treetops to look at the direction of the mansion.

He saw with his own eyes that huge building complex from scratch.

In a deserted open space, buildings with carved columns and carved walls were gradually built. The terraces and pavilions were connected by verandahs. When the morning mist rose, they looked like floating clouds.

He couldn't imagine what it would be like to live in a house like that.

He was born in a thatched cottage and grew up in a thatched cottage.

Even if he tried his best to imagine, he couldn't imagine how the people living in that mansion would live a stable and comfortable life.

However, the mansion never waited for its owner, so it remained empty.

No matter how many people freeze to death in Guanniu Cottage outside.

Such a luxurious mansion surrounded by hot springs, with lush flowers and trees in winter, warm and comfortable, is still empty and waiting for the distant owner to arrive one day.

Low-class people like them are not even allowed to enter the main house.

He had no choice but to walk for two hours from the trail to the top of the mountain. When morning came, he climbed up to the treetops and took a peek from a distance.

That gorgeous mansion was like a dream that he could never achieve in his life.

If that person doesn't show up.

He would not do what he wanted and live his life like this, continue to give birth to offspring in a hut, and then die without complaining.

But luckily, fate made him see the light.

Once you have touched the light, you will never be willing to return to the darkness.

He led the way for Lady Xuan who came to the village for hunting. It was the first time he saw such a beautiful and flying woman. He didn't even dare to raise his head, for fear that his shame would taint her sight.

However, perhaps because of his gifted and majestic physique, he won the favor of Lady Xuan.

For the first time, he was able to set foot on the shiny, clean and spotless floor of the main house.

The maids pushed her into the tub with teasing and contemptuous looks, and washed her clean like a wild dog.

Then, in the spacious and luxurious bedroom, except that he was not allowed to take Yuan Hong, he and Lady Xuan did almost everything that a couple could do.

That was the happiest night in his life. He was lying on a soft and spacious bed, and the silk quilts under him were all treasures worth hundreds of gold.

There was a faint fragrance floating in the room, and in her arms was Lady Xuan's skin, which was so delicate that even the slightest touch was afraid of breaking it.

For a moment, he felt that he was the owner of this mansion.

since that day.

The seeds of restlessness were buried deep in my heart and slowly sprouted under the nourishment of unwillingness, jealousy and anger.

When he learned that great changes had taken place in the North, Gongsun Zan was defeated, and the original owner of Lone Bamboo Manor died in the fire of Yi Jing, the restless bud in his heart instantly expanded into a towering tree.

Even though it was later learned that the owner of Lone Bamboo Manor was still alive and had arrived in Lingzhi.

The great tree was not broken or withered.

What has been created cannot be eliminated.

For my father, it was an ambition for him to leave his lowly status and become a small official in Lingzhi City.

But for him, leaving his humble status is only the first step.

He wanted to be like Gongsun Zan, the master of the manor.

I want to live in such a luxurious house, and I want to hold a soft person like Lady Xuan in my arms and love her to my heart's content, without having to please someone or worry about everything.

He knew that in Madam Xuan's heart, he was no different from an ant or an object she placed in the house.

Objects can make her daily life convenient, and they can bring her happiness.

Both are usable at the same time, and the rest of the differences are not that big.

But he doesn't mind. Only when people are useful can they have the value of living.

Just as he also knew that Lady Xuan had always liked handsome, tall and strong men, and even the leader of the personal guards around her had some connections with her.

But he is not jealous, even he is just a latecomer.

Behind him came the heavy breathing of Sima Chen, who was traveling with him. They led the horses together and walked on the winding path in the mountains.

The path was covered with sharp rocks and thorns, and branches of trees stretched out from the side.

It was very difficult for the horses carrying the oil and leather bags to walk. From time to time, they had to stop and clear a path for the horses with their bare hands.

This kind of physical exertion is really too much for Sima and others named Chen who came from Lingzhi.

Although Sima surnamed Chen is the leader of Gongsun Xuan's bodyguard, he was able to get this position because of his outstanding military prowess, but he is different from someone who walks in the mountains all year round.

He gasped a little tiredly and looked at the leader in front of him who was still strong and tall.

How could he not know that Madam Xuan invited others into her boudoir?But being mentioned like that to his face still made him feel embarrassed and annoyed.

He just wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible and return to Lingzhi City, leaving this place far away.

As if he heard him panting, the son of the leader surnamed Deng turned around and said with a faint smile: "Chen Sima, you should work harder!"

"After passing the huge rock in front, there is still a narrow mountain path, which is very difficult to navigate. I wonder if Chen Sima can withstand it."

Sima Chen, surnamed Chen, snorted coldly. He was not irritated or quarreling with others like a village fool.

To him, although the person in front of him made him feel uncomfortable, he was not someone worthy of special attention.

Just a humble episode.

Seeing that he could not arouse the anger of Sima Chen, the son of the leader Deng became a little angry himself.

Not being able to argue is not always a good thing. In some cases, it also means that he is not looked down upon.

The mountain road is winding and difficult, sometimes slightly open and sometimes extremely narrow. It is right next to a huge rock. The narrow dirt road can only accommodate one person walking sideways, and the horses need to be looked after.

The son of the leader surnamed Deng grabbed the bridle of a horse and pulled the horse that was unwilling to move forward up a slope.

Suddenly, he looked at a newly broken branch on the side of the road and was stunned.

Beside the narrow road, a branch as thick as an index finger was broken and lying on the side of the road. In addition to fresh dewdrops, there was also a drop of very fresh milky white slurry at the break. It was obvious that it had just been broken.

The son of the leader named Deng raised his head and looked around. This was the narrowest part of the trail.

There are boulders and rocks on both sides, and this trail is interspersed among them.

His scalp suddenly became numb.

He is the one who is most familiar with this trail among everyone. At this time, there is obviously something more on the rocks on both sides of the trail.

"Someone!"

The son of the leader surnamed Deng suddenly shouted and hid himself behind the horse while calling him.

Following his shout, as if activated, many archers suddenly appeared on the huge rocks on both sides.

Countless feather arrows were shot from all directions. Although their accuracy was a bit weak, they were enough to deal with these people who were crowded on the sheep farm trail and unable to advance or retreat.

The thin, dark man who had spied on Gongsun Yan's team before had several arrows stuck in the yellow gelding he was holding. He ran wildly on the trail, knocking down and trampling several people.

The thin, dark man was thrown to the ground by the galloping horse, and his body was instantly pierced with several feather arrows.

Sima surnamed Chen was much more alert than these slow people. When a sudden change occurred, he let go of the reins and ran back.

But as the most distinctive person in the team, he naturally enjoys more attention.

An arrow with completely different power and accuracy flew over and pierced directly into his vest.

Then there was another one, and it hit the popliteal fossa on the leg directly.

The sharp arrow bit into the bone and flesh instantly and emerged from the bone gap.

Sima surnamed Chen let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground.

Xia Houlan stood on the rock, put away her long bow, reached out to pluck the grass blades from her hair, and raised the corners of her lips.

He seems to be good at shooting lately.

After two rounds of arrow rain, the troops brought by Xia Houlan also put away their bows and picked up their spears, and cooperated with the people ambushing on the mountain road to surround them.

Xia Houlan didn't know who was in the team, so he shot down the one with the best clothes and relaxed a little.

He didn't know that the man he regarded as a guide was another key figure in this operation, so he didn't realize that the man was hiding under the horse to avoid the arrow.

When the rain of arrows subsided, the man emerged from the gap between the horse carcass and the rock as quickly as an ape, and rushed directly into the forest.

The son of the leader surnamed Deng struggled to escape in the mountains and forests.

He didn't know what went wrong, but he knew that if the matter was revealed, he must escape immediately!

Without the encumbrance of horses and teams, he escaped back at a speed several times faster than when he came.

His father and son have also accumulated some money in recent years, and he can just take the money and leave here.

Going to seek refuge with Lady Xuan?

No, the running young man immediately rejected such an idea.

Even if he and Lady Xuan were intimately entangled in the boudoir, if such an affair was exposed, he would only die.

You should escape further, and further!
Hearing about the war in the Central Plains, he might join the army and fight for a bright future!

In all the calculations in the young man's mind, he deliberately ignored his father's family.

When he escaped all the way to the exit of the path, he seemed to see the light of day, and hope suddenly burst into his eyes.

However, a spear pierced out of a slanted thorn cut off all his hopes and imagination for the future.

The sharp spearhead pierced his shoulder blade, lifted him up, and threw him to the ground.

Before he even felt the pain, his body was already flying in the air, and then landed heavily on the ground.

The young man who barely raised his head from the ground saw a man holding a spear, slowly walking towards him.

The light in his eyes suddenly dimmed, and the young man named Deng lay quietly on the ground and slowly closed his eyes.

Such a premeditated sacrifice using the blood and flames of countless people finally stopped at the very beginning.
