Lord, he is not a man [infrastructure]

Tang Bo thought of the rumors that the lord of the salt cave arrested the descendants of the previous lord, and then looked at Yan Ren, and couldn't help applauding his courage.

This person dared to stand up at this time, not because he was reckless, but because he was smart enough.

Now is the time when he is most lacking in talents who are good at maps and surveying terrain. Yan Ren's early appearance at this time can not only win his favor, but also allow himself to see his strengths.If Yanren reappeared after he brought people back to Bailuling and everything was settled, and he recalled the difficulties at this time, he would definitely have some bad feelings towards Yanren.

Yan Ren's move is also very dangerous, but isn't it dangerous to go back to the territory with him and make a comeback?

Might as well take a gamble.

Tang Bo wanted to say to Yan Ren: Congratulations, you won the bet.

However, his attitude has clearly told Yan Ren that he welcomes the other party to take the initiative.

Yan Ren first drew a sketch on the ground with branches, with the collar of the salt cave as the center and a radius of about [-] miles.

Tang Bo only saw this sketch and knew that Yan Ren really had something in his stomach. Yan Ren not only used obvious signs to distinguish mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, grasslands, and human gathering places, he also considered the proportion.

Scale is a very important thing. Most ancient maps did not consider scale, but focused on directions and general landforms. As a result, many people did not know how to walk while holding a map.

Tang Bo took out a stack of parchment and his homemade simple pen and ink, and asked Yan Ren to draw all the maps he remembered.

"First draw the largest map of the region you remember, the more territories the better." Tang Bo said.

Shio Ren said that it will take some time to fine-tune the map.

Tang Bo didn't force it: "Then you can draw a simple one first, as long as you can see the direction, simply mark a few territories and important landforms."

Yan Ren guessed Tang Bo's purpose, and boldly revealed a secret: "I know a road, this road was specially opened by the old Yandong lord of the previous generation for future generations, in order to avoid Luma City when he might leave in the future. Eye."

Tang Bo's eyes lit up: "Can you avoid human eyes?"

"can."

"is it safe?"

Yan Ren nodded: "That is the escape route prepared by the old lord for future generations."

"Where does that road lead to?"

"Wuyunling." Yan Ren said again: "I don't know where Bailuling is, but I know the direction of Three Towers County. To the south. It takes about 40 days to walk from Yandongling to Wuyunling, and about 20 days to Sita County, which is adjacent to Santata County. We can go to Sita County first, and then turn to Bailu in Santata County. collar."

In order to convince Tang Bo to believe him, Yan Ren said again: "As long as we walk carefully and don't leave traces, that secret road will never be discovered by Luma City in a short time, as long as we can reach Sita County smoothly. We are equivalent to disappearing. Wait until Sita County, which is the largest slave trading place in the Luma Principality, will ask the lord to buy some slaves, and the salt workers will be mixed in, and it will be difficult for Luma City to find us."

Tang Bo showed a soft smile: "Very good! We will follow the secret path you said."

Salt Ren let out a breath.

That secret path was the painstaking effort of several generations of the Yan family, and it was originally intended to be reserved for future generations to escape.

Although it was a few years late to use it after the accident in the Lord's Mansion, it still helped the only descendant after all.

Tang Bo ordered everyone to speed up, Yan Ren led the way, deviated from the river and came to a deep mountain and old forest.

In ancient times, such a small number of people who entered the deep mountains and old forests were engulfed, and very few people could come out.

Of course, it is impossible for Yan Ren to lead everyone directly into the deep mountains. He made a request: "Except for the lord and the cave forest, everyone else must be blindfolded, one by one, this is to avoid the leakage of the secret passage to the greatest extent."

Tang Bo agreed without hesitation, and immediately ordered everyone to dismount. In order to prevent getting lost, everyone lined up in a line, and everyone's wrists were wrapped with hemp rope, and then connected with a long hemp rope.

The person in charge of meals is the biggest, as long as Tang Bo doesn't abandon them, the salt workers have nothing to say about walking blindfolded.

Only some salt workers found Donglin and told him something.

Donglin has already been explained by Tang Bo, and he replied to them: "Don't worry, the lord will take everyone's relatives over."

These salt workers could only trust Tang Bo's promise.

After everyone was blindfolded and turned around, Yan Ren, who was walking in the front, looked around at the trees.

These trees look a bit like banyan trees, with countless aerial roots falling down, so you can't tell if this is a forest formed by countless trees or one or a few trees.

Yan Ren didn't know what he saw. He walked up to the dense air roots and lifted them up like a curtain.

Behind the aerial roots are still densely packed aerial roots, and there is no obvious path at all.

But Yan Ren was not nervous. He got into the air roots lifted up, cut his palm, squeezed out blood and dripped on the roots.

Tang Bo watched curiously.

Relying on his small stature, no one noticed, Gu Ding turned around and secretly lifted up the blindfold.

As Yan Ren's blood dripped onto the tree roots, the countless air roots suddenly trembled, and after a while, an arched passage appeared in the forest.

Yan Ren immediately said to Tang Bo: "Let's speed up, it will close soon."

Tang Bo immediately ordered everyone to turn around, and Donglin, who was not blindfolded, led everyone into the passage.

Yan Ren told Dong Lin in a low voice, let him follow the road, don't look back, don't go astray, and don't touch around.

Tang Bo and other people and horses and mules entered the passage, and he put all the vehicles and other sundries into the space at the end.

Seeing this scene, Yan Ren was surprised but also secretly surprised.

That's right, this young lord is also a favored one!

The nobles of the Luma Principality all know that the Duke of Luma is very unwilling to have a person other than the Lu family who is favored by the gods. Tang Bo is a favored person of the gods, so they naturally stand on the front line with him.

This can also minimize the possibility of Tang Bo selling him to the Lord Luma, because the Lord Luma will not let him who is favored by God, nor Tang Bo who is favored by God.

When Tang Bo entered the arched passage, the air roots on the outermost edge had begun to close.

Yan Ren immediately urged: "We have to hurry up."

On the way, there were also extremely curious salt workers who secretly lifted the blindfold to take a peek, but Yan Ren was not worried about what they could see. The most important secret of this passage was that the blood of the Yan family was needed to open it.

As everyone walked in front, the passage disappeared behind.

Even if the others knew that they were going this way, they would not be able to find their way out in the forest densely packed with air roots.

Gu Ding simply pushed the blindfold to the top of his head. He always has an indescribable intimacy with plants. In the wild, it is difficult for others to catch him.

It's a pity that he lost his third eye, which makes him never know how far his abilities can reach.

At least, he couldn't order or ask such a large forest to help open a passage like Yan Ren.

After everyone walked for about half a day, the terrain suddenly rose, and it was time to go up the mountain.

Yan Ren is here so that everyone can take off the blindfold.

Because in the mountains, everything looks similar, and there are almost no obvious signs.

"Let's take a rest here, and we still have to walk for a while with everyone blindfolded, only for this section, and we won't need to be blindfolded again after we pass," Yan Ren said.

Tang Bo was looking at the mountain, and he saw a landform similar to a line of sky, and there were more than one.

After everyone rested for half an hour, under the supervision of Donglin and Yanren, everyone put on blindfolds again.

Gu Ding was not blindfolded this time, Yan Ren is very good at life, he saw that Tang Bo didn't order Gu Ding to be blindfolded, so he pretended he didn't see it.This kid is obviously the lord's confidant, didn't you see that he ate and stayed with the lord?

Yan Ren walked to the front again. He deliberately led the blindfolded people around the mountain path for a while before stopping at a certain cliff.

A large number of tree roots and vines hang down from the cliff.

Yan Ren repeated his old trick, dripping his own blood on a vine.

The vine trembled and lifted up automatically, revealing the cave covered under the heavy vines.

Tang Bo first went into the cave and walked around, mainly because he was worried that there were wild animals inside.

Seeing his actions, Yan Ren whispered, "The vines here like to eat flesh and blood. This cave is safe."

Tang Bo: "..." Sure enough, these divinely favored people cannot be underestimated, and it's no wonder that these vines grow so lushly.

If you don't know that these vines can eat flesh and blood, and just search around like this, it is very likely that they will all become food for the vines.

Seeing that Tang Bo and Yan Ren gave him a safe signal at the same time, Dong Lin led everyone into the cave.

The cave is so narrow that only two people can pass through it side by side.

Moreover, this cave has twists and turns, and there are side roads. If there is no one leading the way in front, it is easy to go sideways.

Everyone was blindfolded and could only touch the wall, walking forward with one foot high and one foot low. The speed was extremely slow, and some people accidentally sprained their feet.

Wait until everyone enters the cave, about another 10 minutes after walking.

Tang Bo heard the sound of gurgling water.

Yan Ren also said loudly at this time: "The blindfold can be taken off, and the torch is lit."

The road ahead becomes much smoother.

That night, everyone rested in the cave.

The next day, after walking for about half a day, I came out of the cave. There was a line of sky outside, and I could see the sky, but the inside was full of mud and fallen leaves. When everyone walked in, it took a long time to pull their feet out.

Tang Bo was also worried about whether there were any snakes and insects on the road, but this is indeed a safe escape passage that generations of Yandong leaders have found and maintained. Although it is dirty and difficult to walk, it is still safe along the way, and we have not even encountered poisonous snakes. a few.

When they came out of the long and narrow sky, the sky had darkened again, but they also saw the open terrain.

They came to a meadow full of flowers.

Yan Ren was really relieved when he saw this meadow. He walked up to Tang Bo with a little smile, and said to him: "When you get here, you can hardly find us in Luma City. No matter which direction you go from here Either way is fine. But the safest way is the one I know."

"Just proceed according to what we discussed before." Tang Bo estimated that the time would be about the same, and planned to summon all the relatives of the salt workers.

It has been two days since they left the Yandong Territory, and even if there is civil strife in the Salt Cave Territory, it should be over by now.

When the new ruler of the salt cave leader is free, he must go to see if the relatives of the salt workers are still there. If he drags on, he is afraid that the salt cave leader will transfer the relatives of the salt workers.

Tang Bo said sorry to this gorgeous and beautiful meadow, and started to use [Call me].

When using it, he first specified the summoning range in his mind, and drew a more complicated symbol in the air with his fingers.

"Come as soon as you call!"

A dark black hole opened, and within two seconds, someone walked out of the black hole like a zombie.

The salt workers were nearby, and many people saw this scene.

But Tang Bo had ordered them not to get close to the piece of grass he had drawn, and everyone could only watch from afar.

When seeing the familiar villagers coming out of the black hole, someone immediately cried out in tears: "Mom!"

The salt worker who wanted to rush over to meet his relatives was held back by everyone.

"Don't go there, the lord has said you can't go there! Whoever goes there will die!"

One after another, ragged villagers came out of the black hole. Regardless of whether they were young or old, they all had the same expression, as if they were sleepwalking.

Seeing a woman coming out with a baby in her arms, and a few-month-old doll crawling out by herself, Tang Bo raised the corners of his lips. The people summoned by this [Call on Call] are indeed random enough, as long as they can make up enough numbers, the baby Also count.

If this is a time of war, seeing a baby counts as a head, and it will be pissed off.

But at this time, instead, he thanked the cunning of [Call on Call], so that everyone in that village could be summoned without missing a single one.

Tang Bo ran out of mana, so he began to absorb the vitality of the meadow plants.

But this time, he tried not to grab a piece of plant to absorb it desperately, but to spread the absorption target, and each plant only absorbed a part.

As a result, although the meadow around him has visibly become a lot wilted and some flowers have fallen, at least they are still alive.

It was relatively safe to get here, Tang Bo didn't urge everyone to hurry, but let everyone repair in the meadow for one night.

More than 300 villagers were all summoned. Tang Bo snapped his fingers, and everyone woke up from sleepwalking.

At first, the villagers were very scared, but when they heard the voices of calling for father, mother, daughter-in-law and children, and seeing the people surrounding them, they were shocked and then overjoyed.

There was wailing everywhere.

Tang Bo was too lazy to talk to these villagers, so he asked Dong Lin, Tian Min and Gu Ding to explain to them.

Bai Dou and Tian Min led a dozen or so salt workers to hunt in the huge meadow, giving everyone a delicious meal of meat.

If there was no secret path given by Yanren, Tang Bo originally planned to take Donglin and two salt workers with special faces to run in the completely opposite direction, and then summon the leaders of the Three Trees to replace them with salt. work clothes.

After that, they can deliberately show up in a certain village and sell some salt, so that the local people must see the faces of Donglin and the two salt workers.

Go on for another distance, find another territory nearby, and do the same trick again.

All in all, Tang Bo intends to pretend that he is going to take the salt workers to the neighboring Yellow Rice Principality, and finally let people see a large number of people wearing salt cave collar salt uniforms disappearing near the Yellow Rice Principality.

But now with the road given by Yan Ren, they don't have to worry about it.

Let the people in Luma City guess where they went.

Coupled with the fact that all the villagers in Yangong Village mysteriously disappeared overnight, I believe that the legend about the devil's invasion in Yandong will become more vigorous.

And the situation was exactly as Tang Bo expected. As those soldiers fled back, the sayings of "the devil is coming" and "the devil ate the lord" had been widely spread in Yandong.

The civil strife made it too late for the upper echelons of the Yandong community to contain the rumors in time, which made the entire Yandong community even more panic-stricken.

After hearing the news, many stranded businessmen and the newly arrived salt team did not dare to stay any longer, and all left the salt cave collar as quickly as possible.

The departure of these people also made it more difficult for Luma City to investigate the salt workers and their party - too many caravans left during the same period.

When the rumor spread that all the people in Yangong Village disappeared overnight, the leaders of Yandong were so frightened that they hid in Yandong City, and some wanted to leave Yandong.

A few days later, Lvma City sent personnel to check the situation in Yandong. When they found that the entire salt village was still intact, there were all the guys in it, and some of them could still see the traces of making dinner and working. But all the people disappeared, and I couldn't help being horrified.

Such a mysterious event, not to mention the locals, even the envoys sent by Luma City couldn't help but think about ghosts and gods.

Soon, there was a legend in Luma City that the family of the previous lord died too unjustly, turned into ghosts and led the devil to regain the Yandong collar.

Some even swore that the entire village of Yangong Village was taken away by the devil and turned into devils.

Some people also said that they saw the shadows of salt workers and people from the village of salt workers passing by on the road at night. They would not let the people who were still alive in the Yandong collar pass by. They were capturing more people and wanted to form an army of demons to attack In Luma City, kill Duke Luma, the enemy of the old lord's family.

If it weren't for the importance of the Yandong collar, Luma City would have planned to give up the city.

In the end, the envoys from Luma City set fire to Yangong Village, but even this did not stop the rumors from spreading more widely and becoming more popular.

In any case, these rumors and those caravans that were scared away caused Tang Bo and his party to perfectly hide their whereabouts, and no one knew where they went.
