Fish swimming around the world

Jiang Fan laughed: "No, you are a senior. I specially invited senior here this time, firstly as a special envoy, and secondly, as a guide. I heard that the reason why Marshal Yinglu rejected the Governor was because the Governor himself was loyal to King Xiang In addition, because the governor was from southern Xinjiang and was very familiar with this place, Brother Xiang once wanted to govern southern Xinjiang as a governor. "

Huang Teng looked at him as if he had seen a ghost: "Where did you get this information? There are definitely not more than five people in the Chu Kingdom who know about this."

Jiang Fan smiled: "There is no airtight wall in the world, but this is not what I care about. I would like to ask the governor to take a look at this picture..."

As he spoke, he took out the rubbing of the map obtained from Wutu Village: "How to go to Pheasant Yutang..."

Huang Teng stared at the map with a look of surprise on his face. Such a detailed map seemed not even comparable to that of the royal family of the King of Chu. Where did he get it?

Jiang Fan didn't know that Huang Teng was shocked by the map that the painter kept for himself. He just stared at the map and said: "Pheasant Yutang... the main stronghold seems to be..."

Huang Teng slowly calmed down, "The location of Pheasant Yutang is not a secret. As one of the top powers in southern Xinjiang, it has always been entrenched on Jinji Mountain. Now that Pheasant Yutang's power has recovered rapidly, it already has twenty-eight strongholds. These large fortresses are surrounded by fortifications, and the roads are rugged and difficult to navigate. For a long time, even the king has been unable to do anything about it. It is somewhat impossible for the prince to directly ascend. "

Jiang Fan typed the blueprint: "Arrival? No need, they won't wait for me at Pheasant Yutang. As I said just now, the best thing they can do now is to intercept."

"Intercept?" Huang Teng frowned slightly.

"That's right. If it's a volley, Zhi Yutang can push two, five, six, and won't admit it."

Huang Teng understood immediately: "It makes sense, so the prince wants to ask Huang to see which way he will take will definitely encounter an interception?"

Jiang Fan nodded: "Yes, I am the bun delivered to your door. I always want to know where the dog is."

Huang Teng: "..."

"Your Majesty, this metaphor..."

He sighed in confusion, and pointed to a passage: "From our location, it seems that this is the only place to go to Pheasant Yutang..."

Jiang Fan took a serious look and immediately ordered: "Lu Hanting, take the people out immediately and search for the marks left by Ding Lang along the way."

Lu Hanting responded, but said: "Your Majesty, he has already arrived."

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, then looked up, and sure enough he saw a man in green wearing a bamboo hat following behind Lu Hanting.

Seeing Jiang Fan looking over, the man quickly stepped forward and bowed down.

"Ding Lang, come before the Lord!"

Jiang Fan took a closer look and saw that it was indeed Ding Lang: "It's a coincidence that you came here."

Ding Lang said: "The decisive battle is imminent. It would be better for Ding Lang to stay elsewhere and come directly to the tent to listen."

Jiang Fan nodded: "I'm serious. We'll talk about old times later. Come and see if this route is arranged by them."

Ding Lang stepped forward and observed carefully, "Yes, although my subordinates, Hidden Man, don't know the whole situation, looking at the transfer situation, it seems that they want to use Wuyou Valley."

Huang Teng was frightened that Jiang Fan had already made arrangements, and he was also greatly surprised: "Worry-free Valley?"

Jiang Fan looked at him: "Does the Governor know this place?"

Huang Teng said: "This place is a herringbone intersection. On the right is Wuyou Valley, which is named after Pheasant Yutang. It means that if we guard this place, we can sit back and relax. Probably because if we rush to Pheasant Yutang from our direction, we have to go around. If you travel a thousand miles, you can only pass through Wuyou Valley, because the fork on the left leads to a hidden sect... Yaowang Valley."

Ding Lang nodded: "What this person said is true. It is impossible for our army to cross the mountains with no roads without supplies. If we don't go around, we can only go through the Wuyou Valley. As for the Yaowang Valley, it is the Hidden World Sect. According to legend, the sect has never been in conflict with the world. It is said that its sect members are all concentrating on refining elixirs and medicines. In recent decades, almost no one has heard of anyone seeing their disciples. It is not known whether they would still exist if it were not for this follow-up investigation of the Supreme Emperor. , I didn’t even know there was such a sect.”

Huang Teng said: "Huang also heard from his ancestors. Little is known about this sect in southern Xinjiang. Our ancestors once said that during the Anzong period of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was an imperial order that no one was allowed to intrude. It was rumored that even Taiyue and Taihua would Although this place has not been seen as a forbidden area in recent decades, even the Zheng family and the Xiang family have maintained enough respect for Yaowang Valley, and not only is the terrain difficult, but it also has a large protective formation. It’s not suitable for passing either in terms of terrain or reputation.”

Ding Lang nodded: "The reason why Yaowang Valley is Yaowang Valley is because it is said that an immortal Medicine King made medicine here. An Zong once asked for elixirs here and saved his life. There is also a legend that some of the Five Elders also came here. After asking for medicine, although the root of the disease was lost, he finally saved his life. "It sounds like he is the sick man."

"And my late king of Chu, if I hadn't obtained a magical elixir from here to extend my life, I might have physically collapsed at a young age, and the year would never end." Huang Teng said with a little respect.

Jiang Fan listened quietly, but there was a strange curve in the corner of his mouth: Yaowang Valley... This is the last link in the layout process, an interesting link...

To say that Southern Xinjiang is really a dangerous place, it is different from the endless open grasslands of Northern Xinjiang. It is full of high mountains and dense forests, and it is rugged and difficult to travel. It is not easy to hide people.

Ten days later, Jiang Fan finally saw the herringbone intersection.

It's particularly weird. The Worry-Free Valley on the right is surrounded by dozens of steep and towering peaks, but the roads in the valley are all paved with gravel, without much vegetation, and it looks very smooth.

On the cliff at the entrance, three large characters were written in a flowing style: Worry-free Valley, and painted with red dye, which was very bright.

Looking to the left, there were huge trees, weeds, and thorns, which blocked the view. Not only did it seem that there was no road at all, but it was even unknown how deep it was.

Next to the entrance, there was a large stone standing upright, which was broken in the middle. The upright part was engraved with a very sloppy word "Valley", and the upper part was lying on the ground, probably engraved with "Medicine King".

The contrast was too sharp. No wonder those who knew about this sect seriously doubted whether Medicine King Valley still existed.

Jiang Fan was puzzled: "Didn't they say that this place was once very respected? Why is it like this? No one is taking care of it?"

Huang Teng said: "Your Highness, you don't know that Medicine King Valley was established only a hundred years ago. The reason why it is famous among the top figures is because of the magical methods of the Medicine King. Later, it was said that the Medicine King was going to retreat, and the 300-li Medicine King Valley was completely closed. The scale of the hand was shocking. Even the entrance was rumored to have the Medicine King's methods, and no one dared to easily get involved. Therefore, no one took care of it. After decades, it became like this."

"General Huang is indeed a know-it-all in Southern Xinjiang, but..."

He was a little amused: "Why did this Medicine King take such a name? The Medicine King of the World, it sounds awkward."
