As soon as we heard his voice, we came over and hurriedly got up and walked towards the other side. From afar, we saw a black shadow extending from one side of the river bank to the opposite side. There were countless large and small black shadows in the middle, rising and falling as the river water surged.

The pontoon bridge has been built!

Qinghan looked at it in the fire. Several people had already passed the pontoon bridge, shaking torches across the river and shouting loudly.

Chabixing said: "I just asked a few people to take the horse over and try it, there is no problem."

"Very good."

Qinghan nodded to Chabixing and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Chabixing said with a smile: "Sir, let me say these words when I return to the academy."

Qinghan couldn't help but shake his head and smiled. Seeing that Love had been hiding the secret, he was still in his heart. Perhaps he was afraid that Nan Zhenyi would punish him severely. Qinghan was a disciple who entered the house, and his words should have some impact on Nan Zhenyi, so he was "pleasing" him and asking him to help beg for mercy and say good things.

Immediately, the generals who followed Qinghan had already run uphill. The soldiers who were resting on the ground immediately extinguished the fire and packed their things, and immediately lined up to cross the river. Fortunately, they did not set up tents, so they packed up very quickly. After a while, they saw the flames on the slope gradually extinguished. Several teams lined up in an orderly manner and walked down with torches.

The first few batches of people crossing the river were infantry.

After about a few hundred people passed, the cavalry began to lead the horses across the river. Everyone was still very careful. In the night, they saw them walking onto the floating bridge with torches. The fires were trained into a line and kept rising and falling. It was still somewhat inconvenient for the horses to move late at night. Moreover, there were turbulent river water on both sides, and they almost lost control and fell several times. Fortunately, everyone was calm and barely controlled the situation.

After about half of the team passed, we also got on the bridge.

It was not until this time that I could see clearly that this pontoon bridge was composed of countless small boats of all sizes and tied to dozens of thick hemp ropes that run through the banks of the Yellow River. The boats were covered with wide and thick wooden boards, so that they could barely maintain balance. No wonder they had been busy on the river bank for a long time just now, and they drove several wooden stakes deep into the ground to tie ropes to maintain it. If the rope fell off, the entire pontoon bridge would fall apart.

Although walking on it is quite stable, because it is a floating bridge, every step is as soft as if it is stepping on cotton, and it is not stable. When the wave is a little bigger, people will follow the bumps on the bridge.

I held the rope beside me with one hand, and still walked tremblingly. At this time, I reached out with the other hand and grabbed my hand directly. When I turned my head, I looked at me and Qinghan was looking at me: "Be careful."

I felt warm and nodded with a smile: "Yes."

Chabixing next to him walked steadily with his hands on his back. This behavior was like provocation when everyone around him walked carefully, but he even smiled at us twice, which made me almost talk about him again. Fortunately, Xiao Yusheng came over and grabbed him in front.

After a stick of incense, everyone finally passed the floating bridge.

After giving the people who came to help, Qinghan said, "Let's stay this bridge. As long as people come here to inspect and repair it every month, this bridge will still last for a long time."

Several old men immediately knelt in front of him with gratitude: "Thank you, young master."

Qinghan waved his hand lightly and asked someone to help them up. At this time, everyone started to line up on the river bank and ready to go. When everyone had already crossed the river, the sky had already started to have a little brightness.

Xiao Yusheng and the others turned over the horse and waved to the dark team behind them: "Set out!"

Immediately, everyone rode their horses forward and rushed forward.

I was still riding the same horse with Qinghan, because I didn't have much rest all night, and was very tired. Although I kept on on-demand on the horse, I slowly fell asleep and hung on his arm. He circled me with one arm without saying a word, so that I could feel a little more comfortable.

I took a nap and suddenly remembered something again, looking up at him: "Where are we going now?"

He said, "Of course we are rushing to catch up with them."

"I know, I mean, which way do we go?"

"After crossing the Yellow River, what other road can I have?"

He smiled faintly, and when I heard this, my heart couldn't help but sink.

Our team walked along the river bank, and could hear the sound of the river running. I don’t know how long it took, but I saw the blurry shadow of the huge platform standing on the mountain in the distance under the morning light. Sure enough, we still have to pass Tongguan after all.

It seemed that I felt my suppressed breathing and heartbeat. Qinghan looked down at me and said, "What's wrong?"

I bit my lower lip and said, "Tongguan is probably not easy."

He said, "I know."

“…”

"It's hard to live."

“…”

"If the emperor is really controlled by the people of the Miaosanmen, what's next - I dare not think about."

I smiled bitterly and said, "Regent, this hat can be suppressed by you for half your life."

He also smiled bitterly, and did not answer this sentence, and rode his horse forward more and more hard.

Gradually, the surroundings became brighter, and the leaders in front also put out the torches. I could see the huge smoke and dust raised by the horse's hooves spreading in the air, but the outline of Tongguan appeared in sight more and more clearly. Slowly, I could see the flying flags at the pass and the figures of the guards.

Although Tongguan seems to be near, the road is not easy to walk. The road here really follows the saying - looking at the mountains and running to death, the mountain road is rugged, and with the steep terrain, our people are not very familiar with this place. We started to get on the official road when it was just dawn. By the time we reached the pass, it was already bright.

Finally, I came down the Tongguan city tower and saw the huge city gate tightly closed in front of me.

The gray city walls on both sides were like a giant spreading their broad arms, surrounding the entire pass. The mighty and majestic spirit made people involuntarily respect them.

When I raised my eyes, I saw a man on the city tower holding a long knife around his waist and looking down at us with a solemn look on his face.

That was Cao Ji, the governor of Tongguan.

It seems that when Pei Yuanhao and his friends passed Tongguan, they obviously said hello to the guard general and would not let us go so easily.
