067 Mysterious Village
Before dawn, the military probe came back. The Huaxi Corridor was indeed very safe. Although there were several villages, they were all ordinary people and nothing serious was the problem.
Early in the morning, the Dragon and Lion Pioneer troops continued to embark on their way forward. Wu Qi noticed a big guy behind Guan Yu, who was about the same size as Guan Yu, but he was wrapped in cloth, so he didn't know what it was.
"Hey, what are you carrying on your back?" Wu Qi stared at the big guy on Guan Yu's back with his eyelids, "Can this be that piece of wood from last night, is that big?"
Guan Yu glanced at him and said nothing, "Although there are only villages distributed in the Huaxi Corridor, I'm still careful and ordered the army to cheer up, pay attention to observe, and report any abnormal situations immediately."
There are still too few written records about the Huaxi Corridor. Only some articles left by literati and poets have a few words about it. Why is no one here?
Since there is no one here, why are there roads for the army to pass?
At noon, the vanguard troops of the dragon and lion passed by the first village in the Huaxi Corridor.
"Hey, those villagers are watching us no matter how they are motionless, they are humans or ghosts." There are villagers standing on both sides of the avenue with their own tools for working, without panic or surprise, just like there are often troops passing by here.
Wu Qi said, pulling the reins and leaning against Guan Yu.
"Silly, have you ever seen a ghost that appears during the day?" Guan Yu was too lazy to even look at Wu Qi, but this situation was indeed strange.
"Ah, it appears!" A gray-bearded old man suddenly appeared at the front of the team, with his bearded and bearded and crutches on his crutches. The old man stared at his eyes very fiercely, and the two young men following him were holding sticks in their hands.
The whole team stopped.
Although the old man was holding a crutch, he walked as fast as he could, as if this crutch did not exist. "People who are destined to come down to have a cup of tea."
Although the old man's hair was gray and his beard was like a bell, his breath was calm. Even Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, and his tone was completely ordered, without any room for rejection.
"Dropping off the horse." I encountered trouble the next day. It seemed that the Huaxi corridor was not simple.
The dragon and lion team rested on the spot. Guan Yu and Wu Qi followed the old man into their village. The village was right next to the avenue and was very close. The old man invited Guan Yu and Wu Qi into his home.
"How did you come in?" Although the old man's tone was not friendly, he was not hostile. The young man following him brought tea.
The tea is fragrant, and people who are well versed in tea ceremony know that it is a top-notch tea when they smell it. Even in the Zhou Dynasty during its heyday, they rarely had the opportunity to taste this kind of good tea.
The identity of the person here is definitely not simple.
"From that direction, there is only one way to enter the Huaxi corridor." Guan Yu sniffed the fragrance of the tea, but did not drink it. He put down the teacup, his face was calm and without any panic. He raised his chin slightly, still in that arrogant posture.
The old man grabbed the crutch and smashed it hard, cursing.
Although the old man deliberately lowered his voice, Guan Yu still clearly heard the word "traitor".
What a traitor is naturally a violation of the contract signed by both parties and doing things that go against the interests of the other party. The one who lets them in is Nanzhao. It seems that Nanzhao has a very good relationship with this place.
In other words, it is not an exaggeration to exist in Nanzhao Kingdom to protect the Huaxi Corridor.
But this is just a guess and cannot be confirmed.
"I don't know the old man's surname?" Guan Yu was calm. He had never seen any written records of such an expert in the Huaxi Corridor. How could he miss this rare opportunity today? "This Huaxi Corridor is indeed a good place, and there are gods living there."
"I am not a god, but a patriarch here. I live here for the rest of my life. Everyone is like this. There is nothing to be rare." The old man blew, and his long and white beard drifted around his mouth, and he became cute like an old naughty boy. "Since you and I have the fate to meet here, I will advise you to go back, you can't walk the road ahead."
Although the Huaxi Corridor is beautiful, it is a place for a large family and outsiders cannot leave it.
"Helian?" Guan Yu bent the corners of her mouth, with an unknown emotion in her eyes, "Is it the mother of the founding queen of the Zhou Dynasty?"
Legend has it that An Muyan, the founding queen of the Zhou Dynasty, was a goddess of the mysterious Helian clan, with a noble status. She and the youngest daughter of the founding emperor Ling Moqian, later returned to the Helian family to take over as the head of the family.
Although hundreds of years have passed, many regions have been divided into names, and some places have even been annexed or expanded, it seems that the territory of the Helian clan still exists.
Although the glory is not as great as that of the time, the founding emperor of the Helian clan was able to continue.
If we count this way, the tribe members here are still his distant relatives.
"It doesn't take the patriarch's care. Since we can come in, we will definitely be able to go out." Guan Yu's tone was a little respectful, no longer so arrogant, "A gentleman will not go back and say goodbye."
After saying that, Guan Yu pulled Wu Qi out.
There are prescribed distances every day, so you can't delay here.
"Slow down." Helian's patriarch also stood up. The two young men around him blocked the way. "It seems that you two seem to know us very well, so you can't let you go."
