Sick King and Concubine

Chapter 197
Probably more people see the scenery, but they don't see the precipitous pain under the scenery.

The heavy rain blurred the vision, making it hard to see far and near. The soldier was running, but kept falling, and then stood up with the support of his companions.

Jiang Li was wearing a heavy cloak, and the rain was falling. At this time, all she could do was to protect herself and help them without hindering their journey.

Standing on a high place, Chu Yu watched the thousands of horses winding into a long dragon in the rain.

He just wore a bamboo hat, looked into the distance with deep eyes, and said: "The rain last night disrupted our progress, but it will also bring changes to the path of the ghost army. Their original plan was to start from Xipanjiang Go around, but the current amount of rain has caused the river to swell, and they will definitely choose another road. One is coming from that side, while the other is coming from this side."

Chu Yu pointed his finger, and the rain dripped on his finger, forming a clear drop, and then fell down.

Jiang Li said: "No, they should choose the road on the right."

Chu Yu looked at her sideways, and said with a smile, "How should I say it?"

Jiang Li said: "There is a lot of rain here in southern Xinjiang, and the terrain is dangerous, which can easily cause large pieces of soil on the mountain to roll down. The mountains on the left are steep and covered with too few trees. The rain is too heavy, and They can't stop for a while, and it is easy to be blocked or buried by the landslide halfway. These ghost soldiers must know this truth, so they are unlikely to choose the left road at such a risk. "

Chu Yu smiled slightly and said, "Ah, this is the case under normal circumstances. But there are exceptions."

"Exception?" Jiang Li asked.

Chu Yu nodded: "The ghost army has a tradition, that is, it is forbidden to travel westward. They think westward travel is a dead end."

Jiang Li shook his head: "This tradition really doesn't make sense."

Chu Yudao: "There are too many unreasonable things on the East Branch side, and they have too many taboos. But as you said, it is too dangerous to choose the path on the left, but the right is taboo. And the new According to the investigation, the leader of the ghost army doesn't care about some traditional taboos, so I'm guessing whether he will avoid going west."

Jiang Li was silent for a while, thinking in his heart that since the purpose of this trip was only to test the truth, then the remaining soldiers and horses could be divided into two teams to move forward.But after thinking about it again, they feel that this is inappropriate. Their number of people is small, and they really don't know the terrain here.

Just as she was thinking like this, she suddenly saw black shadows flying up from the mountains on the right.

Jiang Li asked: "All the birds are startled, are those people going to the right?"

Chu Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Ah Li, look up at the top of our heads."

Jiang Li raised her eyes slightly when she heard this, but she saw the rain coming from the blue sky like a curtain of the sky, and her heart instantly understood: "Our men and horses didn't startle the birds, so how could the ghost army walk all the year round to cause such a disaster?" Big, eye-catching sight."

She thought to herself, in this respect, she is really far behind in the details. This subtle difference is the life and death of thousands of people, and the responsibility on her body is heavy, how can she be a little careless?
Chu Yu said to Lou Xiyue who was coming, "Go to the right."

Lou Xiyue's voice echoed: "Yes! The vanguard turned to the right!"

Jiang Li was slightly surprised: "Didn't it mean that the ghost army couldn't create such a scene?"

Chu Yu nodded and said: "Yes, the ghost army does seem impossible. But the truth, we not only have to think about these, but also consider what they will do when they deal with us. If it is an ordinary soldier Ma, they will never expose, but we gave them the impression that they were a bit powerful, so they will trick us. Therefore, the startled bird just now is fake, but it is also true."

Jiang Li nodded his head slowly. Chu Yu's thoughts were discovered in countless battles. The confrontation between the two armies was not just a contest of force.

It's nothing more than a decisive victory thousands of miles away.

Chu Yu dragged her by the hand and led her down.

Jiang Li felt a little grateful in her heart, because according to the past, Chu Yu would never let her walk alone in such mud and heavy rain, but in front of so many people, doing so would not only save face It's a problem, and it will have a bad influence on the soldiers. She is independent, not vines leaning on trees.

Jiang Li's footsteps followed closely behind, muddy water splashed back and forth, and his whole body was dirty. On the other hand, although Chu Yu was dressed in white, he looked cleaner than Jiang Li.Jiang Li noticed that the mud splashed would fall down extremely quickly and could not be lifted up at all, and the muddy water stepped on by the soldiers never came close to his body.

This is the so-called martial arts.

Chu Yu supported her without a trace, the warm breath came continuously, the chill of the rain disappeared without a trace, and her footsteps were also brisk.

She didn't speak, and some words didn't need to be said.

The team walked very fast and crossed several mountains. Because of the heavy rain, traces were washed out on the slightly steep road sections. People walked there much slower, but even if they were slow, they still fell down in a long line.

Lou Xiyue said: "Have your feet softened before you got on the hot kang? Let the big girl see the joke? Brother! Take out your iron bones!"

Jiang Li had to admit that Lou Xiyue's verbal skills were really good. After hearing what he said, she couldn't help but smile slightly. At this time, the slightly heavy mood and fatigue of those soldiers were also swept away, and they moved faster. move forward.

At this moment, Chu Yu said, "Stop!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole team became still. He said, "Two thousand people form a line and hide one by one from the mountain valley here. Lou Xiyue, go ahead and have a look."

"Yes." Lou Xiyue agreed, and then quickly broke into the rain curtain in front of her.

The remaining 8000 people also quickly separated, and then began to dodge according to Chu Yu's order.

Chu Yu beckoned, and a group of men in black came up. Chu Yu said, "Stay with the princess."

Jiang Li asked, "Where are you going?"

Chu Yu reached out and shook her hand, and said, "I'll check out the surrounding terrain while I'm going to burn incense."

Jiang Li nodded, Chu Yu's figure flashed, and he also disappeared in front of everyone.

After Chu Yu left, Jiang Li said to the hidden guards, "I don't have anything to do right now, so you all step back for now."
