Unparalleled Concubine

"Finally finished."

Li Xin chuckled: "Brother You An heard what the three of them said just now?"

"heard it."

Zhao Jia threw the letter aside, relieved, and said with a smile: "The sage said, three people must have my teacher."

Li Xin laughed.

"These three are all my teachers."

Chapter 506: Overcome the Motian Ridge

After the army rested for three days, they began to prepare to enter the mountain one after another. Mu Wu and the Wang family brothers walked in the front. The three of them were hunters who had walked this road. They were already familiar with how to enter the mountain, but they knew the way, or It is said that the road they can walk, the army may not be able to walk.

Because these roads are usually small trails that can only be passed by one person, if the army comes one by one like them, then don't even think about passing this road for a year or two.

Therefore, Li Xin ordered Ye Mao to take a thousand soldiers and hold a long knife to open the way in front of him. The army passed slowly.

Because Li Xin has enough troops, the more than 1000 people who opened the way ahead can be rotated, so the progress was fairly fast in the first few days. Basically, he could walk more than ten miles a day, but from Yinping to the southwest, the road was slow. The more difficult it is to walk, sometimes you will encounter rivers, and you have to stop to build bridges and pave roads, or even dig a road out.

Fortunately, Li Xin's troops are not that kind of mob. These people are the elite of the forbidden army who receive daily training, and they can also order and prohibit them. .

That's what Deng Ai did back then.

If it was an ordinary miscellaneous soldier, this kind of high-intensity march would have already caused complaints in the army, but because Li Xin led the elite of the Forbidden Army, and Li Xin himself was the general of the Forbidden Army, he was a serious leader. Hard work, but I can only bury my head and work hard with Li Xin.

Until they reached Motian Ridge.

This is a hillside.

The northwest slope of this mountain is relatively gentle, and you can climb it slowly. Mu Wu and the Wang family brothers led them, Li Xin and several central guards of the Imperial Army, Captain Zhechong, etc., all climbed up the skyscraper smoothly. ridge.

But when Li Xin and others saw the southwest side of the hillside, they fell silent.

It's too steep.

At this time, Li Xin finally understood why the elite of Deng Ai's subordinates stopped here, and even asked Deng Ai to go down first before they dared to follow.

Here, even if the mountain people walk, they must be careful. If the army passes through here on a large scale, many people will inevitably die.

Zhao Jia, the dog-headed military strategist standing next to Li Xin, also turned pale at the moment.

After a month of marching, neither Li Xin nor Zhao Jia had the clean appearance they used to. Because they had to walk in the mountains, they didn't have many opportunities to bathe, let alone trim their beards. Everyone is unshaven and very sloppy.

Zhao Youan turned his head to look at Li Xin, and swallowed.

"Master Hou, here...can I go down?"

Before Li Xin could speak, Mu Wu on the side smiled and said, "Of course we can go down."

He greeted Wang Hu who was next to him, and said, "Brother Hu, go down and show Hou Ye and the others first."

This Wang Hu nodded neatly, then tightened a strip of cloth on his arm, using his hands and feet together, like a gibbon, he quickly climbed down from the top of Motian Ridge from the southwest direction.

Li Xin looked at Wang Hu's back, feeling a little panicked.

To be honest, he is a little afraid of heights now.

But at this time, Li Xin himself must not panic. He is the general and backbone of this army. No matter what, at least he must remain calm.

Master Li Hou took a few deep breaths, and said to Mu Wu in a deep voice, "Brother Mu, you lead the way ahead, let's go down together."

Mu Wu hesitated for a moment, and said, "Master Hou, why don't you let the brothers pull the rope for you?"

"Need not."

Li Xin swallowed his saliva and said, "Let's go on like this."

At this time, it is safe to be tied with a rope, but it is impossible for everyone to have this "safety rope". Since Li Xin wants to take the lead, he cannot engage in "specialization".

Li Xin glanced back at Zhao Jia, and ordered: "Brother You'an, after I successfully descend, you will command on this hillside, let the brothers behind throw the rope down first, and then climb down one by one along the rope."

Zhao Jia was also a little scared, he whispered: "Master Hou, if we go on like this one by one, so many of us..."

Li Xin said in a deep voice: "Even if we stay here for ten or eight days, we must ensure that as few deaths as possible."

In fact, the most difficult thing to get over this kind of terrain is not people, but also food, grass and other things that are even more difficult to get through. But as long as people go down, everything can be transported slowly if they have patience.

Zhao Jia nodded slowly, and then said to Li Xin: "Master Hou, if you haven't gone there..."

"Then tell the brothers that I have already gone down."

Lord Li gritted his teeth.

"We've come here. If we can't get through this ancient Yinping road, everyone can't go back to the capital. Once we get here, there's no turning back!"

With that said, Li Xin tied up his sleeves and trousers, and said to Mu Wu, "Brother Mu, let's go."

Mu Wu took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Master Hou, follow me."

The two of them walked along the road that Wang Hu had explored before, and touched the foot of the mountain bit by bit. Mu Wu was born as a hunter, and at least it was very easy to walk on the mountain, but Li Xin was different. He had never climbed such a steep mountain with his bare hands in two lifetimes, so he could only slowly follow behind Mu Wu, groping down bit by bit.

Mu Wu would stop from time to time, turn around to wait for Li Xin, and then reach out to support Li Xin.

Although the speed of the two was not fast, they were indeed groping downward bit by bit. Li Xin tried not to look down the slope, but just looked at his feet bit by bit to ease the fear in his heart.

Here I have to thank Wang Zhong for the boxing stakes that Wang Zhong gave to Li Xin in the past two years. If Li Xin, who was in Chengde for 17 years, was here, he would probably have fallen by now, but the boxing stakes that have been standing for more than two years have stood up. Both Li Xin's physical strength and physical coordination ability have improved greatly compared to before, and with Mu Wu guiding them in front, although they are not fast, they are quite steady.

When he was halfway down the mountain, Li Xinxin secretly sighed.

According to the records, when Deng Ai took this road, the army was in trouble several times because of the lack of food and grass supply. Even so, they still passed through Motianling and arrived at Jiangyou Pass. It can be seen how far Deng Ai had reached when he ruled the army .

As for Li Xin, because the Emperor Chengde left a rich family property to the new dynasty, no matter whether it is Ye Ming's subordinate or Li Xin's subordinate, he has not missed even a single meal of food.

Thinking of this in his heart, Li Xin climbed down Motian Ridge step by step. It took about an hour before and after Li Xin successfully reached the foot of the mountain.

Master Li Hou squatted on the ground, panting heavily.

For a person who is a bit afraid of heights, the journey just now is tantamount to a huge test.

After a while, Li Xin stood up slowly, stretched out his hand and waved towards the top of the mountain, signaling that the people on the mountain can come down slowly.

He is waving his left hand, and his right hand is hidden behind him.

At this time, Lord Jing'an's right hand was cut open by a sharp piece of stone when he came down, and blood was already flowing.

But at this time, nothing can be shown.
