"Your Majesty..." Su Yanqing still didn't give up, and wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Jun Ruohan beckoning to Lu Sheng, little Eunuch Lu sent the other two imperial edicts.

"This one is for Old General Gu Huangu. He has already disarmed and returned to the field on the surface, but he still has [-] elite soldiers in his hands. If Song Guogong makes a move, you can invite him!" Jun Ruohan said, "And this... If anything happens to me in the southern border, the Fuduan Wangjun Qianhe will be enthroned immediately, and no time should be left for Yan Wang or Song Guogong."

Su Yanqing took them one by one, and one of them was the imperial edict.

It seems that their emperor has made up his mind to go to southern Xinjiang.

Seeing his solemn expression, Jun Ruohan patted him on the shoulder: "Senior brother, don't be so anxious, maybe neither of these two edicts will be used?"

"I hope I don't need any of them." Su Yanqing looked up at him. The former junior brother had grown up after all. "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will guard this business capital for you."

Lu Sheng listened to it in a daze, including when he announced the decree just now, the turbulent waves in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time.

On the way back to the palace, Lu Sheng finally couldn't hold back: "Your Majesty..."

"Huh?" Jun Ruohan stared at him with half-closed eyes.

Lu Sheng didn't dare to spy on Long Yan, and asked in a low voice: "The emperor is going to the southern border, will he bring the servants with him?"

Jun Ruohan raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to go?"

Lu Sheng nodded boldly: "The servant is also worried about General Gu."

"When will it be his turn to worry you?" Jun Ruohan blurted out, and then looked at this little servant.

The immature age of fifteen or sixteen is exactly the age that Gu Fang loves to tease; Gu Fang likes the thin and youthful figure;

Looking at it this way, it is really getting more and more unpleasant.

How could he let such a servant serve him by his side?

Lu Sheng didn't prepare for Jun Ruohan's sudden displeasure, but he didn't understand how he could upset the emperor because he only cared about General Gu. Obviously, the emperor also cared about General Gu very much!

"The slave has overstepped the rules, please forgive me." Little Eunuch Lu said timidly.

It's this sincere, fearful, pitiful and weak appearance that Gu Fang simply can't resist.

"The southern border is full of rebels, can you protect me?" Jun Ruohan asked, his words were full of thorns.

However, little Eunuch Lu didn't realize it, he thought about it for a while and then shook his head: "The slave is incompetent."

"Then if I take you to the southern border, do I still have to protect you?" Jun Ruohan asked again.

This deliberate attitude can't be more obvious.

Lu Sheng immediately knelt down on the carriage in fright: "It's a slave who doesn't know the severity and the rules. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

It was this pitiful look again, Jun Ruohan really didn't want to see it again, so he waved his hand: "Forget it, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Lu Sheng got up, he didn't dare to say anything, he just said in his heart, it seems that he can only wait in the palace.

……

Gu Fang was physically and mentally exhausted, but he woke up suddenly after only sleeping for more than two hours. Being in this already terrifying environment, it was impossible to sleep late, and he still had nightmares all night.

Either the bird has a human face, or the human has fangs, and the fangs are always pointed at him precisely, no matter which direction he runs.

There was already some light in the woods, at least he could see a gray rabbit more than ten feet away, but the fog hadn't cleared, so he couldn't see it very clearly.

Gu Fang pulled out the b-i'sh0u from his waist, without moving his butt, he swung his arms, and the gray rabbit kicked its legs a few times and then stopped moving.

"Hey, Brother Ma, go and bring me that rabbit." Gu Fang patted Brother Ma who was tied to him and was already eating "breakfast".

The horse was eating happily, and when he patted it, it snorted at him very displeasedly, and then continued to eat "breakfast".

Tsk, this little beast.

Gu Fang took off his armor and put it on Brother Ma. The armor was good for keeping warm at night, but it was a bit tiring to walk in the daytime.

Gu Fang got up by himself to pick up the rabbit.

After picking it up, he looked at the rabbit in front of him and wanted to cry a little. He didn't bring a fire bag with him, so could it be that he wanted to eat it raw?

Then he turned his head to look at Brother Ma, Brother Ma was quite happy after eating this piece and that piece, flicking his tail from time to time, making Gu Fang jealous. worried.

Gu Fang squatted next to Brother Ma and watched it intently. Brother Ma was not affected by the crowd watching at all, and seemed to have the momentum of eating more and more happily.

Seeing Brother Ma's upper and lower jaws constantly turning, Gu Fang swallowed unconsciously.

It's been almost a day since he entered Dayu Ridge yesterday, and if he didn't eat anything, he was really going to lie down and wait to die.

Maybe Brother Ma will be one or two survivors out of the ten in Dayuling, oh no, it's Ma.

I can't be as good as a horse!

Brother Ma had no idea that he had encouraged the two-legged monster. He reached out and slapped the "food" in front of him fiercely.

Gu Fang chose a relatively tender piece of grass in front of Brother Ma, grabbed a handful, fed it to his mouth, and chewed it twice.

Bah, it's really unpalatable.

Although I heard that when the old man fought in the past, the supplies had not arrived, and the soldiers ate grass and gnawed the bark, but unfortunately he had never experienced it. At least five years in Fengming Pass, Jun Ruohan didn't say anything, the supplies But nothing less.

It was Jun Ruohan's fault for letting him lose the opportunity to exercise.

Gu Fang thought he had to find a way to roast the rabbit, but when he looked up, he met Big Brother Ma's piercing eyes.

He didn't say anything, but he was really shocked in his heart.

"You...you little bastard, what are you doing so close to me?" Gu Fang leaned back and distanced himself from Big Brother Ma.

Brother Ma slapped him hard, looking a little annoyed.

Gu stood up angrily: "Don't I just eat a handful of grass from you, and it's not delicious, why are you still not happy? Is this piece under your control? Give you what you can..."

Simply deceiving.

After Gu Fang finished speaking, he realized that there might be something wrong with him, and he actually talked to a horse.

It's terrible, if he won't see anyone again, will he make friends with Big Brother Ma next?

"Let me give you a name! After all, you and I are the only ones here. I can't call you "Brother Ma, it's very rude." I still feel that there is something wrong with talking to a horse on my front foot, so I prepare on my back foot. It was time to choose a name for Big Brother Ma, and even considered the question of politeness.

"Well... How about calling you Xiao Hei? After all, you are a dark horse." Gu Fang said very hastily.

Of course Brother Ma would ignore him.

"Since you have no objection, I'll call you Xiao Hei."

Gu Fang hung the rabbit on Xiao Hei's back with a rope, and led Xiao Hei to continue walking to see if he could find something to make a fire. It is much more convenient to see the flint and steel.

By the way, it would be even more perfect if I could pick some wild fruits to satisfy my hunger.

Gu Fang carefully observed the surrounding environment while walking. In fact, Dayu Ridge is not as mysterious as in the legend. Apart from not being able to find a way out, he has not encountered any danger so far.

As soon as he thought this in his heart, he gasped as soon as he looked away.

Just less than a foot away in front of him to the left, there was a person.

No, it should be said to be a corpse. After all, half of the exposed body is already covered with bones.

Gu Fang tied Xiao Hei under a tree beside him, and went up to check.

This corpse seemed to be very old, and the tattered clothes wrapped on the white bones had long faded, and it was broken and shattered with a slight pull of the hand.

Except for a water bag, there was nothing useful left around the body. Gu Fang picked it up and saw that the water bag was almost rotten.

Throwing away the water bag, Gu Fang continued to lead Xiao Hei forward, and after taking two steps, he thought of something, took out his b-i'sh0u and began to mark the way he was walking.

He would carve the character "immortal" on the tree every ten feet away, and he was not afraid that the enemy would find him. On the contrary, at this time, he would rather be found by the enemy, even if he died in the hands of the enemy, he would rather face the road ahead. The vague and unknown death comes happily.

After walking for another two or three hours, he met some pheasants and deer on the way, but he didn't have the desire to hunt anymore.

He clearly understands that even if he does not store food in this mountain, he will not starve to death. After all, the most indispensable thing in the mountain is "game". His biggest problem now is that there is no fire.

Gu Fang was already so hungry that his eyes were a little dim, and his feet were trembling when he walked.

Look up at the sky, oh, can't see it.

I can only see the sunlight coming in through the dense branches and leaves. The weather is good today, but the air here is not very good.

The further he walked, the stronger the stench became, and Gu Fang's brows became tighter and tighter.

It was not the first time he had smelled this smell, it was the smell of corpses.

And the number will not be small.

Following the smell of corpses, he searched for them, and first saw a lot of broken limbs and arms, and even heads rolled aside, but judging from the wounds, it seemed that they were probably taken out by wild beasts and raptors in the mountains.

It wasn't until the stench of the corpse was so strong that people could barely open their eyes that Gu Fang stopped and was right in front.

He tore off the hem of his robe, tied it around his mouth and nose to block the smell, and then walked forward carefully.

After walking less than a foot away, Gu Fang didn't take another step. What appeared in front of him was a pit, a huge pit, a huge pit filled with dead people.

Gu Fang's legs were a little weak, and the acid water in his stomach was also welling up.It's not that he has never seen a corpse, but the weather is getting hotter. Even in the mountains and forests, the decay speed of the corpses is also accelerating. Besides, there are many animals coming and going. The death conditions of these people are really not very good-looking.

Judging from the rate of decay of the corpses, these people obviously died not long ago. In terms of number, there are at least about 3000 people.

Where did so many people come from and die together?And died recently.

He only asked this question once in his heart, and he found the answer.
