After hearing the order, the commander did not dare to be negligent at all and quickly called Zhou Kaishan down.
Not long after, Zhou Kaishan hurriedly ran down the mountain. Although he was only a small pass guard, the perseverance shown in his eyes shocked Zhao Rui.
"See His Highness Chitose!"
Zhou Kaishan hurriedly knelt on the ground. He was covered in mud and looked extremely embarrassed. His exposed skin was covered with scars and even had a large number of thorns and thorns stuck in it.
"Get up!"
Zhao Rui personally stepped forward to help him up, and at the same time took out a bottle of medicine from his body and stuffed it into it.
"I want to go from the tunnel to the snowy mountains of the Western Region. Is it passable here?"
Zhou Kaishan was immediately shocked.
"To be honest with Your Highness, the tunnel has been dug, but there are still a lot of road sections that need to be repaired, which is very dangerous! If Your Highness wants to go to the Western Region, it is best to take a detour..."
"I have something urgent!" Zhao Rui's tone was rather domineering: "Open the checkpoint, I'm going in right now!"
Zhou Kaishan's face was pale. He knew better than anyone else what the specific situation was in the tunnel. Many places inside were not completed and could collapse at any time.
Their biggest task in guarding here is to prevent anyone from entering.
What's more, the person in front of him is King Zhao of Dashang. If something happens in the tunnel, no matter how many heads he has, it won't be enough.
"Your Highness, please think twice. It's not that I don't want you to go in, it's that the tunnel is extremely dangerous..."
Zhao Rui was a little impatient and directly drew out his long knife and put it on Zhou Kaishan's shoulder.
"I have just started to like you, don't force me to kill you!"
Zhou Kaishan was suddenly in a trance and a little at a loss for a moment. King Zhao was the highest power center of Dashang, and his royal orders were no different from the emperor's imperial edicts.
But it was precisely because of this that he did not dare to let Zhao Rui in easily.
Just as he was about to speak, two soldiers hurriedly ran out of the tunnel.
"It's passed, it's passed. The tunnel's channel has been completely repaired. Just repair various places before it can be used..."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Rui didn't care so much, got on the carriage and rushed over.
Zhou Kaishan was unable to stop him in time, so he had to write a document and report the situation here.
There are a large number of fireflies in the walls on both sides of the tunnel, and volcanic stones are embedded at intervals.
This kind of stone is excavated from the crater of the volcano. It has its own scorching light, which can not only illuminate, but also dispel the moisture in the tunnel.
The light of fireflies and volcanic rocks is very weak, but the two things together can still provide enough illumination.
Zhao Rui looked at the surrounding designs with great satisfaction. He did not expect that the craftsmen sent here would come up with such a solution.
Before that, he was also very worried about the lighting problem after the tunnel was dug.
In this era, there was no electricity or other modern industries, so it was impossible to provide long-term lighting.
I didn't expect it to be solved in this way.
Zhao Rui couldn't help but admire the wisdom of these craftsmen.
The tunnel was very long, and it took them six hours to walk out of it.
But when we came out, we had already reached the southern border of the Western Region. From here, we only need to travel for five hours to reach the snowy mountains.
Although it was already midnight, Zhao Rui did not stop at all and drove the carriage as fast as he could.
