Chapter 48: Ghost hits the wall (1)
From Liangjing to Crow Mountain, you need to pass through the three counties of Changshan, Shimen, and Luzhou, as well as the Changhe River in Luzhou County, which crosses the Great Zhou Dynasty.
He Bayu and Motuo traveled day and night, and arrived at Changshan County in just one day and one night.
And after another night and day, they had arrived at Ping'an Ridge at the boundary of Changshan County.
It was already approaching evening, and the sun was about to set. Looking at the entrance to the dark forest in front of him, He Bayu frowned and said to He Wu beside him:
"Are you saying that after passing through Pingan Ridge and entering Shimen County, there will be an inn?"
He Wu had been here before on a business trip and was very familiar with the terrain here, so he was our guide this time.
When He Bayu asked him, he immediately replied: "Yes, Your Majesty.
Although this forest looks scary, there is actually a path inside. As long as you keep walking along this path, you will leave Ping'an Ridge and reach Shimen County in less than an hour.
Although there is an official road to reach Shimen County, if you take this small road, you can save about seven or eight hours."
Hearing this, He Bayu's expression softened, and he nodded slightly and said: "In that case, we will go to Shimen County via this road, just in time for everyone to rest in the inn for one night."
From the beginning, everyone only dismounted a few times and took a nap, but other than that, they all sat on their horses day and night.
Although this is nothing to these secret guards, it has been two days and two nights, and it is time for everyone to rest for a night to replenish their physical strength.
He Bayu's words cheered up everyone's spirits, so everyone wanted to pass Ping'an Ridge quickly so that they could sleep peacefully in the inn for a few hours.
Seeing that He Boyu's personal guards all looked well-trained, Motuo secretly admired them.
Along the way from the Xiongnu to Liangjing, he encountered scholars who were weaker than women.
I thought that in this great Zhou Dynasty, when civilization was victorious and military power declined, all the men were powerless to restrain a chicken.
But now it seems that the secret guards who respected Emperor Wen were all as strong and brave as the Huns.
Not only that, compared with the casual and naive nature of the Huns, each of them was rough and fine, and orderly.
Just from the fact that they had been awake for two days and two nights and still looked calm when they heard that they could find an inn to stay, it can be seen that the warriors of the Huns were far inferior to them.
If it were one of their samurai, there would be no problem in insisting on not taking a break for two days and nights, but in such a situation, I'm afraid they would have burst into cheers.
"What do you think of Prince Murto?"
Seeing Motuo looking thoughtfully at the side, He Boyu asked with a smile.
He asked him after he had already made a decision. It was obviously just to be polite, so Murtaugh nodded readily: "Your Majesty makes the decision."
"That's good."
After saying that, He Bayu asked He Wu to lead the way and led the large group of people into Ping'an Ridge.
Although it is a small road, the woods in Ping'an Ridge are dense. When you first enter the woods, you can barely pass by one person and one horse.
After walking forward for another stick of incense, the road slowly widened, at least enough for two horses to walk parallel.
Motuo was a little behind He Boyu and walked side by side with him. He Boyu turned his head slightly and looked at him and said:
"This time it is really thanks to the bloody horses brought by Prince Murto. If it weren't for them, how could we have passed through Changshan County in two days and nights."
