Part Three Chapter Thirty-two The arrow is on the string 4
[69 Book Bar-www.] What he said was probably expressing regrets. I was thinking, but I heard Lian Baice say: "General Chu, it is really unwise to tell yourself in our name.
Although the Mo General and others are subordinates, they also know the human ethics and righteousness. General Chu, you have made this proposal for your brothers. General Chu is willing to advance and retreat with General Chu. What's more, if you are outside, your order will be there.
Don't accept it. Since General Chu has made this proposal, he should act vigorously and report it after the matter is completed. Even if Lord Wenhou is unhappy, he will be powerless. But now he reports that Lord Wenhou will definitely issue an order to take back the order.
In this way, only the brothers are doubtful and at a loss.”
He said this beyond my expectations. I said, "As long as you have no guilt in the world, it's all right. Brother Lian, I'm ready to take you into a place of unjust. As for Mr. Wen, as for Mr. Wen, I'm ready.
It is impossible for me to take back my life. When this thing is passed to the imperial capital, the Five De Camp has already begun. By then, the raw rice is cooked and it is impossible for me to turn back."
He wanted to say something, and pointed to the map and said, "The snow-capped mountain that Lang Mo called is in the southwest. I was thinking that the climate in this area is humid and hot, and there will be snow-capped mountains that will last for thousands of years. It's really strange."
Lian Baice said: "General Chu, the last general talked with the Bingde natives these days. They said that there are indeed snow-capped mountains in the southwest Langyue Province. Because the terrain here is high and the mountains penetrate into the sky, the snow has never melted forever.
The snow-capped mountains are located on the border with the Xianghu Kingdom. More than two hundred years ago, a caravan risked his life to seek profit and wanted to cross the Daxue Mountain to enter the Xianghu Kingdom. As a result, more than a hundred caravans set out, with only two people living and dead.
. I will remember that this matter seems to have been recorded by Master Tianji."
I have also heard of this incident, and it also records the whole story in Master Tianji's "Huangyu Zhou Xingji". Since ancient times, there have been two transportations with Xianghu Kingdom. One is to go south from Gaojiu to south and along the coast.
, then turn to the west; the other road is to start from the west, cross the vast sea, and then turn to the south. Both routes are thousands of miles away, and from the route, they are bypassed by Langyue Province. Logically, Langyue Province
The border with Xianghu Kingdom should start from here, but Langyue Province is too high and has a rare population. It is too dangerous to take this road. Only that caravan has tried it once for hundreds of years. Langyue Province is located in a remote corner.
, At that time, a wealthy man named Baomucuo appeared. This Baomucuo and Xianghu were both here.
The country has become rich by doing business, but every time the caravan sets off, it takes at least one year or two years to return. After weighing the trade-offs, it is decided to venture through the unmanned land in the southern part of Langyue Province. It should be said that Baomucuo is prepared in advance
Extremely sufficient, he prepared three hundred horses, three hundred cows, and more than one hundred caravans, and brought enough food and grass for a year. The staff he selected were also famous hunters in Langyue Province at that time. A year later, only
Baomucuo and a personal servant returned to the capital of Langyue Province. According to him, he was originally prepared for the hardships of opening up this road, but he never expected that the hardships here would reach this level, with continuous mountains and steep mountains and ferocious strange beasts
There are endless emergence, and the most terrifying one is the snake man.
This is the first time that people in the world heard about the snake man. At that time, people only thought that it was Baomucuo's exaggeration, and no one really believed it. When Master Tianji saw the snake man, he remembered the incident of Baomucuo and turned it into this.
The story is recorded. Not many people have read "The Record of the Emperor's Zhou Xingji", and the villagers in Bingde Province do not even know the words, so of course they will not read it. This story still seems to be circulating in the mouths of people in this area.
He said: "Yes, I have read it too. It turns out that you have also read "The Legend of Huangyu Zhou".
Lian Baice looked around and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "General Chu, General Chu, I came here today, but there is actually something important to report."
I saw that he was so mysterious, and was stunned and said, "What's the matter?"
Lian Baice said: "The last generation of Baomucuo was found."
His words seemed to stab me with a knife, and I stood up and said, "What?"
Baomucuo went directly to Daxue Mountain and saw the Snake Man for the first time, but since he was an indigenous person in Langyue Province and two hundred years later, I never thought that I could find his descendants.
He said: "Does that descendant have any relics of Baomucuo in his hands?"
This is just a casual statement. After so many years, his descendants may not know more, and the possibility of retaining the relics is very small. However, a smile appeared on Lian Baice's face and he took it out from his arms.
A scroll said: "Baomucuo wrote a note that his descendants have passed on from generation to generation and have been preserved."
I was overjoyed and almost snatched the thing from his hand. When I grabbed the scroll, my hand was trembling. This kind of thing fell from the sky, just like the heavens opened their eyes. I opened my eyes and looked at it. The scroll was already very good.
It was old, but it was well preserved. It was a map with some weird words behind it. I was stunned and said, "It was written in the words of Langyuesheng..."
The natives in Langyue Province are alien races, and their languages are somewhat different from those common to the empire. Lian Baice took out a scroll from his arms and said, "Don't worry, General Chu, the last general has ordered people to translate this scroll into imperial language, and the map is also
Painted as well.”
I opened the scroll and saw that the scroll looked exactly the same as that, but the words were all in imperial language. I was ecstatic and said, "It's great! With this, our chances of winning are five points more.
Brother, you are really a scheming person.”
Although I have seen Baomucuo, I never thought about visiting his descendants. After all, after so many years, I don’t know if he has descendants, and I don’t know if there will be any relics left.
Lian Baice actually did this. I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Lian, you have made the first great achievement. Is that brother who has visited this? I can reward him well, no matter how much I reward him.
The descendants of Baomucuo should also give good rewards.”
Lian Baice smiled and said, "Don't worry, General Chu, the last general will handle it."
After Lian Baice left, I asked Feng Qi to guard the door, but no one saw him. I tried my best to study the notes alone. The person who Lian Baice found a translator seemed to be very skillful and the translation was very smooth. Baomucuo came to the end of the day.
Zhedu, the capital of Langyue Province, set out and formed a large troupe of 100 people. He was worried that the carriage would be unstable, so the cattle and horses each brought 300 cattle, and he was ready to kill the cattle for food if the food was not maintained.
Although the ox cart is a little slower, it is much more stable.
When Baomucuo set out, he was preparing to make a shortcut, so he started from Zhedu City to the foot of the Daxue Mountains. This section was explained in detail and clearly on the map. Although the journey was difficult, it was no big deal.
When I was about to reach the foot of the Daxue Mountain, only one follower died of illness, and only seven cattle and horses lost, all of which were still smooth. But I encountered a problem when I had to cross the Daxue Mountain. The snow-capped mountain was thousands of miles long and towering in the sky.
Even if you want to cross the mountains with an empty body, it is almost impossible, let alone rushing a convoy. But Baomucuo firmly believes that there must be interconnected canyons in the snow-capped mountains. You only need to find these canyons to pass through the snow-capped mountains.
The basis for his search for the canyon was the distribution of forests in the Daxue Mountains area. In fact, Daxue Mountains is not a single piece of solid. A big river originating from Bingde Province flows into the west of Nanning Province, and passes through Daxue Mountain and flows into Xianghu Kingdom. It's just this river
The river water is too turbulent to sail at all and cannot serve as a major transportation route with Xianghu Kingdom. Baomucuo once crossed the estuary when he was trafficking goods and found that the trees at the estuary were obviously younger than the north.
Baomucuo is not only a wealthy man who is good at business, but also a very knowledgeable person. If he said that most tree species are spread by wind, it is obvious that as the years grow, the trees form, the younger the trees are, the more they are.
By autumn, the trees are mostly swept with the west wind, and most of the seeds are blown to the east, so the trees in the southeast of a forest are mostly younger than those in the northwest. The mountains of Daxue Mountain are from northwest to southeast, and the mountains block the blowing from the Xianghu Kingdom.
The south wind, and most of the trees in this area are planted by the wind. It is only in the middle of the Daxue Mountains, due to the distribution of forests.
Very dense, the west wind cannot blow in, so the trees in the middle are often aging in the middle, and the trees around them are young, and there is no obvious direction. Although the canyon cannot be seen, Baomucuo firmly believes that there is more than one canyon, if
If he could find a forest similar to this, he could find another canyon where he could pedestrians. It was based on this idea that he took a desperate bet and gathered so many people to explore. In fact, if he found this passage,
Then the freight is much cheaper than others, and it can monopolize the business between the Xianghu Kingdom and the Empire.
Baomucuo was very lucky. He walked along the Daxue Mountains for two months. He found a forest of trees more than 300 miles east of a village called "Thirteen Roads". Some trees almost grew.
Two years ago. The ancient trees on the south side of this forest are towering, which are obviously much older. There is no big river nearby, so it is obvious that this canyon is for pedestrians.
