Qi Ning may not be able to mobilize officers and soldiers with gold medals, but it is easy to let Yue Ganliang follow the lead.

Yue Ganliang led a few officers and soldiers to lead the way, approaching Heiyanling. Although you could see the Heiyanling Mountains from afar, you still had more than ten miles to walk. Along the way, there were many ambushes, both light and dark. Qi Ning thought that if someone hadn't led the way, it would have been a great danger to break into Heiyanling.

When the sun sets down the mountain, when he reaches the Heiyan Ridge, he sees a steep wall in front of him, and a narrow road leads to the mountain. The last level from the foot of the mountain is crossed by a wooden fir railing, and there are also downspoils in front. Hundreds of officers and soldiers are waiting for battle here, and even a lookout wooden building is built.

"Shangcai, there are Miao people guarding it." Yue Ganliang raised his hand and pointed to the narrow mountain road on the mountain. "This place can lead to the mountain, but...!" After pausing, he said, "Shangcai really wants to enter Heiyan Ridge?"

Qi Ning smiled and said, "Do you think I'm joking?"

"There is a great courage and admirable person." Yue Ganliang showed a hint of respect, glanced at the group of people like Efu behind him, and lowered his voice: "Can you please speak with a step?"

Qi Ning nodded slightly, and the two walked aside. Yue Ganliangcai whispered: "Supermaster, Shu Bei is brave. I don't know where these Miao people came from?"

Qi Ning said: "What's the problem?"

"While going up the mountain is of extraordinary courage, we have to be on guard against the Miao people." Yue Ganliang whispered: "It is better to send people to escort the Miao people into the mountain, but these Miao people are detained here and act as hostages. If Bayerli wants to be against the Miao people, we have dozens of hostages in our hands, and he may not dare to act rashly."

Qi Ning raised his hand and patted Yue Ganliang on the shoulder and smiled, "I know you have a good intention, but in this way, the misunderstanding will only become deeper and deeper. I came here this time to resolve this matter with the order, not to deepen the misunderstanding. By the way, I heard your accent, aren't I a native of Nishikawa?"

"The best person is good at hearing." Yue Ganliang said hurriedly: "When Lord Wei came to Xichuan to take office, Bei Zhi followed Commander Yao as Lord Wei's escort."

"So that's it." Qi Ning said: "He is a cautious person. If I can come out safely, I will definitely recommend you to the court."

Yue Gan knew that the position of the emperor who could get the imperial gold medal and come to Xichuan would not be low. If he was promoted slightly, even if he was not successful, it would definitely be of great benefit. He immediately bowed and said gratefully: "Thank you, sir." Knowing that Qi Ning had made up his mind, he raised his hand and said: "Open the cliff and send him to the mountain!"

After passing the last level, Eve led the way forward. Everyone led the horse to the foot of the mountain. They saw that the narrow road could only accommodate two people at most. There were steep mountain walls on both sides, so it would be very difficult to lead the horse up the mountain.

Ifu already said, "Our horses can stay here, and there are a few miles up from here, but it will be much spacious when you walk over. When you climb over this ridge and enter it, you will be a valley where there is a village. Just pass through that village and climb over a hillside to reach the main village."

"That's great." Qi Ning ordered everyone to tie the horses to the foot of the mountain. Yifu did not delay and took the lead to go there. Before he got close, someone shouted loudly: "Who? Get closer and shoot to death immediately."

At this time, the sky was already dark, and I could only see the narrow mountain road in the middle of the steep wall, and I could not see the figure clearly.

Qi Ning thought to himself that Heiyanling dared to confront the officers and soldiers. The terrain here is too special, and it is not easy to get out of the mountain, and it is even more difficult to get into the mountain.

But Ef didn't say much, put two fingers into her mouth and whistled.

Her whistle was very clear, three long and one short. Soon, a person came out of it, holding a bamboo crossbow arrow in her hand, very cautious, Efu approached and said, "It's me!"

The man looked at him for a few times, put down the bamboo crossbow arrows, and said in surprise: "Yifu, you...you are back, it's great!" He looked up and saw a group of figures following Yifu, shining, all in Miao's clothes, and he was even more happy: "You brought reinforcements? Haha... The cave master must be very happy to know that you are back." He turned around and made a gesture, and several people came out of it, all of whom were happy and very excited.

However, Qi Ning had already walked forward and asked, "Are there any Han people entering the mountains? Are there any officials from the government entering?"

"People from the government?" Several Miao people looked at each other and shook their heads. Qi Ning was happy. One of them said: "We don't know that we have always guarded here and are not allowed to enter the mountains. No one has ever been here."

Along the way, Yifu had already seen something in Qi Ning's mind, and finally asked: "What happened? What are you worried about?"

Qi Ning shook her head and said, "Let's go see your brother first."

Yifu nodded and said, "Why do you say that other Han people entered the mountain? This is one of the channels to enter the mountain. There are more than a dozen roads to enter the mountain on all sides of Heiyan Ridge. No one goes in here, which does not mean that no one goes in elsewhere."

Qi Ning said, "That's why I said I should see Bayerli quickly." Without saying much, he walked up the mountain. When the Miao guards saw Qi Ning coming with Yifu, they were curious, but they did not stop them.

The group entered the narrow mountain road. As Ifu said, for several miles, there were compact cliffs on both sides, with rugged rocks and extremely narrow roads. The narrowest part could only allow one person to pass. Qi Ning thought that the officers and soldiers would attack Heiyanling, and it would definitely not be able to go here. As long as a small number of people were arranged here, it would be enough to resist the officers and soldiers. They even directly blocked the road with stones, which completely cut off the road.

Fortunately, after walking a few miles, the road suddenly became bright, and after that, Ef led the way.

On the Heiyan Ridge, there are only a few roads that have been built seriously. Most of them are roads that people walk on. There is no road on the ground, and when more people walk on it, it becomes a road.

Because of this, the roads in the mountains are extremely irregular, some are twisted and twisted, and some are suddenly broken when they reach halfway.

It was already dark, and Eve walked away for a moment and suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong?" Qi Ning couldn't help but ask.

Yifu smiled bitterly and said, "In the past, there were always some birds and beasts in the mountains, but now... I'm afraid there are not many birds and beasts in the mountains."

Qi Ning immediately understood the meaning of her words.

There is no doubt that Heiyanling is short of food, so we can only hunt birds and beasts as food. I think there have been too many birds and beasts hunting in Heiyanling in recent times, and even fewer birds and beasts are singing.

As Ifu said, after crossing the mountain, there was a valley. The valley was one of the six villages of Heiyan Cave. There was not much fire. Ifu brought people into the house. Obviously, everyone in the village knew about Ifu breaking out. They were very happy to see Ifu bringing people back.

However, the men in the village were guarding the mountains, and only the elderly, weak, women and children were left in the village, and some were preparing meals, while some were making arrows.

Because he was worried that there were too many people, Qi Ning asked thirty guards to stay in the village first, and only took Yifu and Baiyali to the main village.

Although the two did not understand why Qi Ning did this, they did not object.

After passing the valley, he climbed up another hillside and walked for more than two hours before he saw a fire in front of him. Yifu took a deep breath and turned around and said, "The main village is over there."

Qi Ning said: "Let's go see your brother, don't be arrogant. The fewer people you know, the better."

Ifu was quite suspicious, but nodded.

In fact, most of the men in the village went out, and the old, weak, women and children left behind were all prepared in the house. Yifu was extremely familiar with the terrain here and quietly entered the main village. There were several places on the way that had to be discovered by the guards. When the guards saw Yifu, they were all happy, but Yifu told him not to speak out.

When he arrived at a stilt house not far from the edge of the cliff, Ifu went up and knocked on the door. Soon he heard a heavy voice coming from inside, saying, "Who is it?"

"Brother, I am Efu!" Efu whispered.

He heard the rushing footsteps in the room, and with a "creaking", the door was opened, and then the firelight came out of the room. However, Qi Ning saw a thick Miao man standing in front of the door. The Miao man looked like he was forty years old, muscular, thick and square. Seeing Yifu standing outside the door, he was surprised and grabbed Yifu's hand and said excitedly: "A sister, A sister, you... are back... hahaha... bless the Witch God, you... are back alive..."

Efu was also quite excited, her eyes turned red, and she choked and said, "Brother, I...I thought I would never see you again."

"Don't say that." Miao Han laughed and said, "The Witch God keeps you. You are not good now. You are all good now, hahaha..." At this time, I found Baiyali and Qi Ning behind Yifu. They were stunned at first, looked at Baiyali for a few glances, and said suspiciously: "You... are you... Baiyali, the leader of Cangxi Miao Village?"

Bai Yali stepped forward and bowed, and smiled and said, "Master of Bayeri Cave, I am Bai Yali. I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still so strong."

"So...Ah Mei, did you see the Great Miao King?" This Miao Han was of course Bayeri, the master of the Black Rock Cave, and said excitedly: "Okay, there will be no problem now." He raised his hand and said: "Baiyali, head man, come into the house." Seeing Qi Ning, he was stunned for a moment, then frowned and looked at Yifu.

Without waiting for Yifu to speak, Qi Ning stepped forward and bowed, "Hello, Lord of Bayeri Cave!"

Bayerli nodded slightly, and Ifu had already said, "Brother, this is the sworn brother of King Damiao."

"What?" Bayerli was shocked, "How is this possible for King Damiao? King Damiao is so old and he is a Han Chinese, how can it be...!"

"Brother, don't worry, let's talk slowly." Yifu said: "Are Yagan and the others back?"

"Yagan?" Bayerli frowned and said, "They weren't with you?"

Yifu immediately understood that after the night was dispersed, the few companions who followed him to break out did not return. They were nervous, but they thought that Heiyanling was surrounded and that the breakout was a life-and-death life. For safety reasons, Yagan and others might not have taken the risk of returning to Miao Village, or they might be waiting for the opportunity outside.

"But don't worry." Seeing Ef's serious expression, Bayerli comforted: "The misunderstanding in the middle will be explained soon. We can go down the mountain early tomorrow morning."

Qi Ning frowned and immediately asked, "Why?"
