Chapter 620 IX The Road Down the Mountain

In fact, as long as the wind is not too strong, people in the dense forest will not feel any wind.It seems that the treetops are wobbly, but the depths of the forest are extraordinarily peaceful.Perhaps because of this slightly strong contrast, the wind is howling on the top of the tree, but there is an illusion of extreme tranquility under the tree.It's like watching the storm outside through the window, but the house is very quiet.

I have been walking for seven days, and I have not seen any hope of getting out of this mountain.So the soldiers were a little panicked. After all, they were not in the house, but in the mountains. When they climbed over a broken wall, their horses had to be discarded and became a burden on their shoulders.The horse meat is already a little sour now, and it will rot in a day or two.If they can no longer see the hope of getting out of this mountain, they may get lost in the deep mountains and old forests where the sun is not seen all year round.

Yu Chigong looked at the reactions of the soldiers, and felt a little uncomfortable as if something was stuck in his heart.To be honest, the roasted horse meat in my hand has already stinks, without seasoning and salt, how can it be delicious even if it is cooked?Moreover, they have been eating this food for several days, and many soldiers would vomit after smelling it.

Of course, they can shoot and hunt.

But their feather arrows are limited, and if they can get out of this mountain smoothly, the feather arrows will be more useful.Therefore, Li Shimin strictly ordered the soldiers not to release arrows lightly, unless it was guaranteed that the arrows shot would not be damaged and could be retrieved.

"Your Highness..."

Yu Chigong swallowed the meat like dregs of wood with great difficulty, his Adam's apple throbbed, and he breathed a sigh of relief before continuing: "If we can't find a way out of the mountain again, we will run out of food. Horse meat must never be eaten again. , the meat has begun to rot, eating it will only increase injuries, although the feather arrows in our hands are precious... but the lives of soldiers are even more precious."

"Lonely knows."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "I have seen it, the meat can still be eaten for another day, as long as it is roasted for a long time, there will be no problem. Although the taste is a bit unpleasant and it takes a lot of effort to chew, there is no doubt that it can still be eaten." .Persist for another day, if you can't find the way out tomorrow, then you organize people to hunt, but remember one thing, every feather arrow is a treasure and must not be wasted. Now we are poor...so poor that we can't waste it. Pick up something."

Yu Chigong felt sad for a while, nodded and said: "I understand."

Li Shimin leaned on a big rock to relax his back. In the past few days, he spent more than eight hours a day on the road. Everyone was extremely tired, and everyone's body and face were also extremely dirty. In just seven or eight days, the soldiers even got used to lying on the mud and sleeping.The same is true for Li Shimin, the once handsome young man still looks a little bit romantic and handsome, he looks no different from a beggar.He leaned against the stone and rested with his eyes closed, but the smile on the corner of his mouth got stronger and stronger,

"Why are you laughing, Your Highness?"

Yu Chigong couldn't help asking.

"It's better than it was a few days ago, isn't it?"

Li Shimin smiled, pointed to the mountain spring not far away with his eyes closed, and said, "At least you don't have to die of thirst anymore. Knowing where you got dumped, it's safe now, isn't it?"

Yu Chigong really didn't expect that His Royal Highness King Qin would be in such a good mood at this point.But he didn't know how to answer, because he didn't feel very happy now.

"Lonely in this deep mountain and old forest, because I can drink non-toxic water, I am happy and laugh..."

Li Shimin opened his eyes and looked at the spring water and said slowly: "I think Li Xian should be sitting opposite his father in the Taiji Palace of Chang'an City at this time, eating hot and delicate dishes, drinking old wine, maybe sitting The seat is the one where Gu used to sit, maybe the wine glass used is the same one that Gu used."

He smiled and said: "I heard that he was suffering from childhood, and in order to avoid being chased and killed, he followed a group of horse thieves to the north and south of the Yellow River, Jiangnan, Hebei, Liaoxi, and outside the Great Wall... I think the hardship he suffered since childhood is definitely worse than you are now. The situation I faced was much more difficult. Until he went to Saibei, there were only a few dozen horse thieves around him, but he still survived like a weed, and even the storm could not destroy his life."

"Because he survived, he is now honored."

Li Shimin spoke calmly and slowly: "Since he can go through thousands of disasters without dying, he can still become the most important person in front of the father, with 30 elite soldiers in his hand, and half of the country... Is it possible that he is the only one who has experienced this setback?" , just one ordeal will lead to depression and let the fate disappear with the wind?"

"How can it be?"

He said as if talking to himself: "He has experienced a lot of pain and suffering, and now he can understand a little bit, and he has become omnipotent in order to survive, and now he has a heart. Speaking of which, his success is not a fluke." Due to luck, no matter who has such a youthful experience and can still live, it will become scary... Gu is going through the journey he has gone through, and Gu will not lose to him, so Gu has to become more than him Scarier..."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, as if thinking of something extremely ridiculous, he suddenly burst out laughing happily.He stood up on his back, looked into the distance and said proudly: "I was still a little annoyed at the beginning. Would he laugh happily when I saw the failure of the orphan and the escape of the orphan. But now thinking about it, he is the one who is really pitiful. Holding such a powerful force in his hand, he dare not fight. Even if he loses, he does take the rebellion too easy, but he is more courageous and stronger than him."

"He thought he could take my place by taking this opportunity to return to Chang'an? It's too ridiculous, too ridiculous...Since father can't even trust me, how can he trust him?"

Li Shimin said with a smile: "As long as Gu walks out of this mountain, he still has a chance to stand up, but when he walks into that big city, he has no chance to stand up again."

……

……

After resting for about half an hour, Li Shimin got up including the time for eating, and ordered the soldiers to continue on their way. He had just eaten a stomach full of horse meat, which was as tasteless as firewood, and he had to march hard with great intensity, which made the soldiers miserable. .The good news is that the king of Qin showed mercy and asked the soldiers to choose some good horse meat on their shoulders and keep it, enough for tomorrow's day, and the rest can be discarded.

To be honest, smelling the stinky horse meat on my shoulders every day for the past seven or eight days is simply a torment, even more tormented than constantly climbing mountains.So after King Qin's order was issued, the soldiers immediately burst into cheers, and some even jumped up and shouted long live.

Li Shimin seemed to be enjoying the cheers, especially the word "long live" sounded particularly pleasing to the ear.

"Climb over the mountain in front of us before dark. If we are lucky, we might meet a fairy."

Li Shimin looked at the dreamlike scenery and said, the soldiers suddenly laughed.Their original bad mood turned for the better because they could no longer eat stinky meat tomorrow, but now they laughed heartily because of a joke made by King Qin.Immortal, the scenery in this mountain is indeed beautiful and pleasant, there are magnificent places, and there are also beautiful places. If you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, it is a good place to live in seclusion in this mountain.

Li Shimin took the lead and walked out, using the black iron knife in his hand as a crutch while walking and said: "Are you laughing because you don't believe in gods, or do you think there can be no gods?"

A soldier of the Liehu Camp said with a smile: "Your Highness, if there are gods, then we can all seek a prescription for immortality. There is no need to fight, we just need to live longer than the enemy to win Nature is ours."

"There is no formula for immortality!"

Yuchi Gong rolled his eyes at the soldier and said, "But I heard that eating the flesh of a fairy can make you live forever."

"What do you say fairy meat tastes like?"

Someone said with a smile.

"Surely it's better than horse meat?"

Someone answered uncertainly.

Li Shimin laughed loudly, and suddenly felt that the journey was actually not hard.Although it looks a bit embarrassing, compared to fighting on the battlefield, it is indeed much better to kill so many people in an instant.The soldiers under him are all strong and tough, and none of them have fallen ill so far. This is good news, and it is indeed worth being happy.

"Your Highness..."

A younger soldier suddenly asked timidly, "What if we can't find our way out?"

Yu Chigong's expression changed and he was about to get angry, but Li Shimin smiled and waved his hands to stop him from looking at the soldier and said, "Then let's stay in this mountain and be gods. Maybe in a few years people will come to the mountain asking for medicine and see us He will kowtow to pay homage. You can give him a few mud pellets from your body, and he will be grateful."

"Hahahaha!"

The soldiers suddenly laughed again, and they found that King Qin was also an interesting person.The King Qin I saw in the past was rigid, but today the King Qin seems very close.But no one saw that there was a flash of coldness in Li Shimin's eyes when he looked at the soldier who was questioning him.

I didn't expect that the next mountain road would be so difficult to walk. It was not until dark that everyone reached the top of the mountain. This is just one of the mountains. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking into the distance, the mountains in front of me in the night are like splashed ink The paintings are the same, but the soldiers at this time are exhausted, and there is no mood to enjoy the scenery.

Because it was a little later than expected, Li Shimin was a little unhappy that he missed the way down the mountain, but he also knew that he had tried his best. The mountain road was really too difficult, and the soldiers were really exhausted.Just as he was about to give the order to rest on the spot, he suddenly heard someone screaming with extreme excitement: "Look, there really are immortals!"

Looking at the soldier's finger, the crowd tried their best to look into the distance in the night, a few
