Chapter 61 Reluctance
On the fourth day after Chengbang woke up, everyone finally set off. Xiao Jin flew in the air to detect the trip to ensure the safety of the trip. Dabai Xiaobai stuck out the wings of the team. The weaker monsters dared not approach. Instead, some of them were bitten to death by Dabai Xiaobai because of their slow movements and took them back, turning them into food supplements. Peng Ze and Zhao Baoqing were at the forefront of the team. The reason they acted like they were facing a great enemy was because there were too many things in their line. Two fairy stone cannons and the remaining shells, fairy stones, etc. of course they had to carry them. If they encountered a strong enemy, this was their basis for defeating the enemy. The materials collected by the white-haired demon ape were equipped with two large cars. The super huge bone frame alone required several people to take turns to pull the cart to rush forward.
What's more, they have lived in the mountains of Shifang for so long and have all kinds of other good things. For example, there are more than a dozen rare herbs that can be raised outside the mountains of Shifang for a few years. There are a cart of medicinal materials that have been initially prepared, and there are two cars of various rare fruits, delicacies, and a considerable number of demon cores, ores, gems, etc. They have only a few people in total. Even if they have simplified the various materials, there are still too many things that they are reluctant to throw away.
Apart from the few people who were guarding and guarding, almost everyone had to help pull the cart and push the cart. Fortunately, Chengbang chose a very easy way to go. After the third day, he could occasionally encounter some traces left by previous adventurers. Although it was just traces, some of them seemed to be a bit old, at least they made everyone see hope getting closer and closer.
It was originally expected to walk for ten days, but it was not until the 14th day that it arrived at the edge of the Shifang Mountains. Looking at the tired but full of morale behind him, Cheng Bang breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help feeling proud. It was him who brought such a team with uneven strength out of the Shifang Mountains and returned to the prosperous land.
"You have a rest, I'll go and see the situation." Cheng Bang said that, and ran away on his own. He climbed up the ridge to the top of the slope, found the tallest tree, and stood on the highest branch in a few seconds, shouting loudly, very unhappy.
Finally, he walked out of the mountains in the ten directions. It has been more than a year and a half since he jumped into the mountains. So many things have happened that have allowed him to grow from a ignorant and reckless boy back then to a team leader with a faint sense of masters. He shouldered greater responsibilities and was responsible for other people's lives. This is not a simple matter. Today, when he arrived here, it seemed that an invisible chain was untied, and he once again started to wantonly.
"This kid..." Jiang Mei sat on the big rock by the roadside and said docilely.
"Uncle Jiang, is Chengbang okay?" Ye Yichen asked with concern.
"It's okay. He looks like a child like this. After all, he can't be happy to hide in the mountains."
"Yeah." Ye Yichen understood what Jiang Mei meant and nodded.
Xiao Jin was very curiously hovering over Chengbang's head for a while, then was attracted by a beautiful bird in the distance, and rushed down to grab it as an ornamental. Dabai, who had been swimming on both sides of the team, also felt the change of the atmosphere and gathered next to Ye Yichen. Ye Yichen patted Xiaobai's head, but found Xiaobai arching him with his head.
"Hey, what are you going to do?" Ye Yichen asked with a smile.
Xiaobai stood aside and lit the entire side to her.
"Do you want me to sit on your back?" Ye Yichen asked with a smile. Xiaobai really nodded.
The smart Yubanhu may not understand human words, but he can keenly feel people's emotions, remember the characteristics of everyone's words and deeds, and hear different tones. This is not much different from being able to understand people's words.
Ye Yichen sat on Xiaobai's body and gently hugged Xiaobai's neck. Dabai Xiaobai rushed out and ran towards the top of the slope. What Ye Yichen couldn't imagine was that Xiaobai actually rushed directly to the tree that Chengbang climbed to the top. Ye Yichen exclaimed and hugged Xiaobai's neck tightly. Xiaobai made a whispering sound, as if mocking Ye Yichen's timidity.
Even the pine trees that are straight to the sky can easily climb to the top with the strength and accuracy of the jade-spotted tiger's claws, not to mention the tree species such as oak with wide horizontal branches. Xiaobai jumped from one horizontal branch to another, and fell to Chengbang in a few seconds.
"Hehe, Sister Chen, you're here too." Cheng Bang sat down beside him, holding Ye Yichen with a pale face.
This is the first time in her life that Princess Qinghe has been on the top of the treetops. She has never been allowed to playfully have such a wanton opportunity since she was a child. Although she had traveled around the Huangfeng before and saw a wider scene, she felt the oncoming gusts of mountain wind and the light swaying of trees. The undulations of the entire mountain seemed to be in front of her, but she had never felt it.
"Here, I should be able to see An Ting." Cheng Bang muttered.
"Can you see that far?"
"It's not far away, it's just a few dozen miles away. I'll find a place to rest today, and I'll be able to arrive tomorrow."
Ye Yichen suddenly became quiet. She felt that she felt a little reluctant to live like this, perhaps in turmoil and inconveniences. Since childhood, she has never been able to take a shower for a few days as she did in these months, and she has taken the need to sleep in clothes and stayed alert as an instinct. She has never been like she is now treating Chengbang. If she has any questions, she can ask her feelings and opinions without hesitation. Freedom? Yes, it is probably because of this freedom.
Even though her skin became thick and grayish yellow, and her hands had already started to have old skin and calluses, this freedom still made her obsessed.
"Tomorrow?"
"Probably. If I don't encounter any inexplicable situations," Cheng Bang suddenly frowned and said, "Actually, I think it's a bit strange. I've been here, but I haven't seen anyone along the way. There is not a team of adventurers, but I've made so many preparations."
Thinking of this question, Ye Yichen was also a little puzzled: "As far as I know, there are always one or two teams of people who travel to and from the mountains every day. Logically speaking, even if the war between Chu will have a certain impact, the demand for various materials and medicinal materials should be even greater... This is indeed a bit confusing."
"It's okay if you don't encounter any trouble." Cheng Bang scratched his head and said, "Anyway, you can go back to Anting first, and everyone can completely relieve themselves and have a good rest."
Xiao Jin let out a long sound and began to circle in the air into triangles. Cheng Bang was shocked and hurriedly said, "I'll go and see!"
After saying that, he pulled the book cover and slid down. When Ye Yichen reacted and looked down, Cheng Bang was already sitting on Dabai's back and heading towards the direction where Xiao Jin was.
"Xiaobai, let's follow!" Ye Yichen held back a little nervousness in her heart, and jumped directly to Xiaobai without looking at her feet. Xiaobai let out a low growl knowingly, jumped off the tree a few times, and followed.
The place where Xiao Jin circled was just a few miles away, and arrived in a short while at the speed of Dabai and Xiaobai. The scene they saw was hard for them to believe. What appeared in front of them was a military transport path in the forest, with four marching formations of the Chu cavalry, which were moving rapidly.
"How could this happen?" With a distance, Yichen Ye didn't care too much about being discovered by the enemy and exclaimed in surprise.
"I don't know." Cheng Bang was nervous: "Even if the front line is not in a favorable position, it shouldn't affect An Ting's side, right?"
Yichen Ye didn't say anything. After all, she had been out of the situation for a long time and didn't know what had happened. However, the current situation will definitely affect their plan to return.
"Go and explore, or go back first?" Ye Yichen asked in a low voice.
"Let's go back first. Even if we have to explore it, we can't go like this." Chengbang said: "Let's let people know that we came from the mountains and brought a lot of good things. No matter who it is, whether it is Chu and Yue, we are all dead."
They rushed back to the place where they were resting. After talking about the situation, Jiang Mei first asked them to describe the appearance of those cavalrymen.
"As far as I know, there are four main iron cavalry in Chu. The Eagle Cavalry stationed in the capital Jiangning, the Red Army, the Jiuli Army of the Hechuan Governor's Office, and General Yuwen Xian's military camp. According to what you said, this army should be a military camp. Shouldn't it be stationed in the western part of Chu? Why did it come here?" Jiang Mei Laoyu immediately analyzed: "The four marching teams are in a hurry, but they are not very alert. That means he
We are very sure of the security of this area. We did not see any adventurers or other teams along the way. We didn't even meet one of them, and it seemed that there was no reason. If I was right, Anting should have fallen into the hands of Chu State, and the time has not been short, otherwise the elite cavalrymen who were cautious in the camp would be so unrestrained. Chu State, I am afraid that even the road to Anting to the mountains in the ten directions has been completely controlled."
"What should I do?" Cheng Bang asked anxiously: "Sister Chen can't go back?"
Jiang Mei shook her head and said, "This is hard to say. The most urgent thing is to understand clearly what the current situation is, so that we can make further plans. However, if Anting is occupied by Chu State, it may not be easy to go from here no matter where you want to go. This is a rare flat area in the middle, and in other directions, there are dense forests and mountains, and there are many passes. And we will definitely not be able to cross mountains and ridges, avoid all the Chu teams, and arrive at Yue State."
