Chapter 9 Taihang (1)

Soon someone applied medicine to Lu Yao, treated the wounds in various places briefly, and helped Lu Yao out of the straw hut. The strong sunlight made Lu Yao squint his eyes.

Wei Xuan pulled Lu Yao, threw him on the horse's back, and stuffed the reins into his hand. Perhaps because he was scolded by his master just now because of Lu Yao's relationship, his movements were so rude that several wounds on Lu Yao's body hurt.

More than ten people were packing their luggage and supplies around them, and they quickly set off. These people were all young and old, even two female relatives dressed as maids.

The man dressed in uniform and acted vigorously, which was indeed the style of the noble family's confidant tribes. The surroundings were filled with blood, which was enough to prove that these elite soldiers were ruthless in their attacks. The bandits dared to attack such people rashly, which was really ignorant and unjust to die.

Each of these people was equipped with horses and walked along an unknown path in the mountains. This mountain road was discovered by farmers and hunters who collected herbs and hunters over hundreds of years of exploration, and was very steep. It was like a gray-white flying snake, traveling between the deep valleys of the mountains. Sometimes, they ascended to the top of the mountain, with steaming clouds on both sides. The knights slowed down and walked; sometimes they even had to connect the horses with ropes, and they moved forward one after another with careful progress. Sometimes, the road quickly extended downwards and passed through the canyon. The dense primeval forests and rocks blocked the sunlight, and the cold stream flowed on the road, making the road slippery and the speed of traveling slowed down. A pack horse slid into the deep pool on the side of the road, and the guards took a lot of effort to drag it out.

Lu Yao noticed that no matter how busy the guards were, the Pei Langjun always sat on the horse. He said very little, and he only occasionally asked the guards ahead about the route of travel. His guards were also very quiet, and his words were brief and clear along the way, and he moved forward silently for most of the time, which was completely different from the journey that usually kept joking to relieve loneliness.

Two hours passed in a blink of an eye, and the sky gradually faded. In such a steep mountainous area, walking at night is extremely dangerous. If you don’t master a certain foothold, you will experience a tragedy of falling off a cliff. Therefore, the guards once again reduced their speed of travel and sent outposts to find a suitable place to camp.

At first, Lu Yao lay weakly on the horse's back, but now he was already straightening his body and controlling the horse forward freely. This made many guards look at him with a hint of surprise. In fact, his wounds have basically healed. The medicines applied to the wounds are indeed high-quality medicinal materials, but they seem particularly sticky and uncomfortable at this moment. However, Lu Yao did not intend to bandage them off. If the guards discovered this, it would be too sensational. Lu Yao did not intend to be seen as a monster.

After walking about two or three miles, the team of knights deviated from the road and stopped in the valley. There was a small flat land with a leeward and shade, not far from the spring, making it a good place to camp.

The guards who arrived early had chopped down the thorns and cleared out a small piece of open space. The others worked together to set up camp tents, drank horses and drank water, and prepared for the rest that night, and the cost of food.

Generally speaking, the conditions for pedestrians to stay outside are always bad. Anyway, they are sleeping in the open, as long as they can shelter from wind and rain. However, this is not the case for the nobles of aristocratic families to travel. This group of people is extremely dedicated to the layout of the camp and meticulous in all aspects. Especially the tent where Pei Langjun is located, after the construction is completed, the female members of the cavalry team are responsible for the internal furnishings. There are also steps around, and the guards are not even qualified to take a look.

This is the case when setting up a camp. After that, Lu Yao once again saw the rules and paid great attention to them in terms of rest and diet. If he was an ordinary soldier, facing such rules that emphasize strict hierarchy everywhere, even if he was not scared to death, he would be tortured to death.

Lu Yao also helped the top leader. The guards were a little cautious about him at first. But Lu Yao's familiar movements were definitely only available to the old corps, and soon dispelled others' doubts. When they were roughly cleaned up, everyone had already communicated their names and talked to each other for a few words.

What impressed Lu Yao the most was naturally that when he couldn't move in the straw hut, he followed Pei Langjun in two guards. These two were Pei Langjun's guard leader, with excellent eloquence and good at communicating was Wang De, and the one who held the crossbow was called Wei Xuan, both of them. They were elite warriors in the army before they joined Pei Langjun's subordinates, and each had outstanding martial arts.

According to these people, this place is southeast of Shangdang, deep in the mountains near Yangchanban, and they can't tell the specific location. Pei Langjun and his guards came from Luoyang and were originally going to Bingzhou. In the past two years, the Bingzhou army fought fiercely with the Huns, and the road was not stable. In order to avoid trouble, they hired mountain people as guides, intending to take a small road across the Taihang Mountains and go straight to Shangdang. Unexpectedly, the Hu people suddenly launched a large-scale move in the past two days, and the Hu people's rangers appeared in the key passes of the mountain. Therefore, the group of people had to return the same route.

Until today, mountain people were in chaos, and the guards caught off guard, almost injured Pei Langjun. The guards were shocked and angry and killed all the mountain people. As a result, they lost their guide and could no longer move forward, so they had to go to a place where mountain people gathered in Taihang Mountains, find a group of guides again, and then they could get on the road.

Of course there is something vague about these words. When Lu Yao once asked about their master's detailed origin, the guards immediately stopped talking, and Lu Yao stopped asking more questions. Instead, there was a guard asking for advice enviously. Lu Yao was full of energy in the blink of an eye. Is there any secret recipe for medical treatment?

After more than an hour of turmoil, the moon had risen to the treetops.

Lu Yao sat cross-legged under a big tree, trying his best to calm down his mood, and at the same time slowly sorted out too much information that came with rebirth.

As a helpless little person in the previous life, this life as a memory of a down-and-out clan was tangled in his mind. Under the impact of massive information, his thinking and consciousness were shattered into countless small pieces, and they were suddenly rejected and sometimes entangled, causing all kinds of confusion. Lu Yao had no doubt that if this situation continued, it would inevitably lead to his schizophrenia and fall into long-term delirium.

Fortunately, no one disturbed Lu Yao. With his outstanding patience and perseverance, he gradually got rid of himself from chaos and gradually clarified everything in his mind. The two completely different consciousnesses of the Bingzhou Army leader and the small staff from later generations began to slowly and accurately integrate into one.

Such work consumes extremely energy, and the slow progress is even more outrageous. Half an hour later, the intense feeling of fatigue forced Lu Yao to stop working. He lay on his back for a while, got up and went to the pool to pick up the spring water and splashed it on his face. The cold spring water rejuvenated his spirit.

The water gradually calmed down, reflecting a thin and cold face. This is me, Lu Yao said to himself.

The moonlight fell on the quiet water surface, reflecting Lu Yao's reflection. His face was windy and frosty, and his eyebrows were as cold as iron, which was like a fierce soldier on the battlefield. A hideous scar on his cheek on the left side extended from the corner of his eyes to the lower jaw. This was the commemoration left by the bloody battle of Wuming Xiaozhai. Lu Yao tried to grin, and the long scar also squirmed, making his expression always look a bit fierce and rough. Fortunately, his eyes were still so bright, and there seemed to be a little more sharp light.

Lu Yao reached out and gently moved the water surface, and the waves rippled away, breaking the reflection.

The memories of the previous life are gradually awakening, but they are not perfect. Just like facing an information database that has lost its search function, it is very difficult to find the part you need from the vast amount of information.

As an amateur history enthusiast, Lu Yao has read a brief historical material such as "Book of Jin" and "Zizhi Tongjian" and has a rough understanding of this history.

According to some of his recovered memories, he was in the first year of Guangxi in the Western Jin Dynasty, which was in 306 AD. This was the ninth year and the last year when Emperor Hui of the Western Jin Dynasty was reigned. During this year, the Eight Kings Rebellion, which lasted for sixteen years, finally came to an end. Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, defeated the opposition forces in Central Plains and Guanzhong, returned to Luoyang to control the government. At the same time, Li Xiong, a Di man who was separating Yizhou, ascended the throne and established the Dacheng Kingdom. In addition, Liu Han, the Xiongnu and Zhang Gui regime, who worked hard in Liangzhou, had three so-called "Sixteen Kingdoms" in later generations.
