After leaving the city from Yibei, go south for more than ten li, and you will arrive at a land of mountains. It's summer, the trees here are dense, and only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the treetops can be heard.
Wen Yantong sat on the horse, slowed down with everyone's footsteps, and asked Fu Zixian, "Do you know where that mountain is?"
Fu Zixian waved his hand, and a guard came forward from behind, he said, "This is a local soldier from Yibei, who knows the location of that mountain."
Mu Yang held up the lantern, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, "I seem to have seen it."
Wen Yantong and Fu Zixian looked at him in surprise at the same time, "You can still see it from such a distance?"
"Didn't it mean that it was full of ginkgo trees?" Mu Yang took a closer look, "You can see some strange colors."
Fu Zixian said, "It's not too late, let's go into the mountain quickly."
Chi Jingxi once convened a meeting and made a special response plan for encountering enemy troops on patrol.
In order to ensure the survival of the soldiers received as much as possible, when encountering the enemy, they only retreated instead of attacking, hiding in the deep mountains, and only appearing after the reinforcements came, so as to preserve the maximum possible troops.
Among them, Sister Mountain is listed as the first choice because of its obvious characteristics.
A group of people entered the mountain in a straight line, and the people at the front and rear were responsible for lighting the lights.
The mountains at night are always eerily quiet, but when you listen carefully, you can feel that there are sounds everywhere, so everyone can't help but be more careful.
Wen Yantong was not that worried, because she knew that the enemy army was on another mountain far away at the moment.
Now she just wants to find Chi Jingxi quickly.
The wind at night was really cool, which was in sharp contrast to the heat of the day. If Wen Yantong hadn't honed his body all the way, he might have been tormented by the huge temperature difference right now.
But it was mainly Mu Yang's reminder that she added two more clothes before leaving. Although Yibei's clothes are not as exquisite as Jingzhong's, they are thick and windproof.
Wen Yantong walked forward with the team, thinking to himself that Chi Jingxi should leave a mark on the road, it is the kind that is not easy to detect, but our side can tell at a glance that it is the secret mark left by him.
So he turned his head and offered to Fu Zi, "Did you discuss what kind of secret code to guide you when you encountered this situation?"
Fu Zixian said, "Young Master did say to leave a code, but the discussion at that time was interrupted by a surprise attack, and he didn't say to leave anything. If the young master should leave a code that Mu Xingyi can understand at a glance."
Wen Yantong looked at Mu Yang unexpectedly, and Mu Yang shrugged, expressing that he didn't know what it meant.
However, Wen Yantong can figure it out very quickly. Fu Zixian's words probably mean that Chi Jingxi has great trust in Mu Yang. If the others disappear, Mu Yang will definitely participate in the search, so Chi Jingxi will keep Mu Yang A code that is instantly recognizable.
As for the secret code, it was the tacit understanding between Mu Yang and Chi Jingxi.
Wen Yantong said, "Then look for any signs around here later."
Fu Zixian also had this thought, and nodded in agreement.
After walking for a while, the whole team entered the deep mountain, only the sound of wind and horseshoes was left around.
Mu Yang was very quiet all the way, but at this moment he suddenly asked, "Are there any wild beasts in this mountain?"
Wen Yantong was startled, and looked at him sideways, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
But Fu Zixian said in a deep voice, "It's hard to say, these mountains are wild mountains, no one approaches them all year round, only hunters and woodcutters will wander around the mountains, and few people go deep into the mountains. It is so complete, probably because there are wild beasts in the mountains, and ordinary people dare not approach them at will."
"Then we walked so deep..." Wen Yantong was a little scared.
These were all things she hadn't considered. If they ran into some wild wolf or tiger, they might be kicked out of the fan group before they found Chi Jingxi, and they might die!
Fu Zixian said, "Don't panic, we are quieter, we may not alarm those wild beasts, and we have also brought sharp weapons, if we do meet, we have a chance of winning."
Wen Yantong felt a little more at ease, and only hoped to find Chi Jingxi quickly and leave here smoothly.
But he didn't expect to be afraid of something. As soon as he thought about it, there were low growls from the dark forest, scaring the horse to a halt.
Everyone quickly controlled the horses, and Fu Zixian shouted in a low voice, "Stop the team and gather!"
Everyone hurriedly assembled the team, but the horses were frightened by the low growl, their legs became weak, and they were a little uncontrollable, and sometimes they let out a high-pitched horse cry, breaking the tranquility of the deep mountain.
Wen Yantong tugged at the reins in a panic, not knowing what to do for a while, turned around and saw Fu Zixian staring at the place where the roar came from with a solemn expression. Mu Yang also drove his horse towards her.
Wen Yantong's horse was not a trained war horse, and now it seemed agitated after being threatened, making some miserable noises while hopping on the horse's hooves, Wen Yantong had to try his best to appease, but the horse gradually appeared bigger His mood fluctuated and even started to upset her.
Seeing this, Mu Yang knew that Wen Yantong's horse's mental quality was not good, so he stretched out his hand towards her, "Come on, get on my horse!"
Wen Yantong let go of the rein with one hand, and reached out to hold Mu Yang's hand in the bumps, but because of the restlessness of the horse, he couldn't hold it repeatedly.
The moment she pinched Mu Yang's hand, there was a sudden roar in the forest, almost like a roar that exploded in her ears, which made Wen Yantong tremble all over and tremble in her heart.
Her horse was completely frightened and collapsed. With a long cry, she suddenly ran away. Wen Yantong didn't even have a chance to hold Mu Yang's hand just now. She was pulled away by this force, and she was thrown far away in an instant.
"Wen Yantong!" Mu Yang shouted behind him, riding his horse to give chase.
However, roars came one after another in the forest, and the horses refused to move no matter how they were driven, they just moved closer to other horses. Fu Zixian had no choice but to stop Mu Yang and said, "Her horse is a thousand-mile horse. Maybe we can catch up, first find a way to expel these beasts and then look for her!"
Mu Yang's eyes were red with anxiety, "But it's dangerous for her to be alone in the forest!"
"As long as her horse can still run, there will be no danger." Fu Zixian said calmly, "We are the ones who are in danger now. If you chase her out rashly, you will be alone."
Mu Yang gritted his teeth angrily, but there was nothing he could do.
Fu Zixian stabilized Mu Yang, and shouted, "Light the torch, get the bow!"
On the other side, Yiqi Juechen, who was afraid of death, ran with Wen Yantong for a long time without panting. When he stopped, Wen Yantong's face was blown unconscious by the wind.
She only felt dizzy and nauseated for a while, but when she looked around, it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.
The moon in the sky was covered by clouds, and there was no light in Wen Yantong's sight.
Wen Yantong was naturally as frightened as a horse, wishing to slap the horse's mouth, but thinking about slapping it now, maybe it would throw herself off and run away, then she would really be doomed.
The horse was tired from running and stopped to rest. Wen Yantong sat on the horse's back to watch the surrounding environment, listen to the surrounding movement, and was always ready to gallop the horse.
But the surrounding area is very quiet, the wind seems to have become smaller, and there is no noise around.
After waiting for a while, the moon poked its head out from behind the thick clouds, and the silver light sprinkled down, and the surrounding scenery suddenly became clear.
She saw a yellow mountain covered with buds not far in front of her, which was a little bright under the silver light, especially conspicuous among the green mountains.
She was overjoyed immediately, she didn't expect that the horse ran around together and brought her to the edge of sister mountain.
She wished she could hold the horse and kiss them.
This is really a mistake.
Wen Yantong hurriedly rode his horse to the mountain. If Chi Jingxi was in the mountain, he would definitely send his soldiers to watch all over the mountain, and she would be found soon after entering the mountain.
Wen Yantong was right in thinking, she was discovered shortly after entering the mountain, but because she was not driving a military horse, but also a girl, she was regarded as a spy sent by the enemy army and strictly guarded against.
She was walking tremblingly, when a net suddenly fell from the sky and caught her whole body. When the net bag was pulled, the whole thing was hoisted into the air.
She screamed, "Forgive me, all heroes!"
But no one responded, the people around were hiding tightly, Wen Yantong was dangling in the air without seeing half of his figure.
"You guys belong to the young master, right? I'm a friend of the young master, and I'm here to find him!" Wen Yantong said, "Don't hang me, everyone is brothers!"
"How can we trust you?" someone asked.
"Take me to see the young master!" Wen Yantong shouted loudly.
Immediately afterwards, the surroundings became quiet again. These people seemed to be discussing, and finally came to the conclusion, "Be honest, we will ask the young commander for instructions."
Wen Yantong is naturally very honest, if it is not very inconvenient to be hung in the net bag, she might have to leave the ground to meditate.
But it was really uncomfortable to be in the net bag, but luckily that person came and went quickly, and put Wen Yantong out of the net bag in a short while, shook her buttocks, she rubbed her waist and stood up, those people were hidden in the dark talent show.
Just pointing at her with a weapon, "Follow us, don't play tricks!"
Wen Yantong nodded hastily, with a harmless face.
After these people walked up the mountain for a while, more and more soldiers were watching and stationed, and everyone looked at her with wary eyes.
Wen Yantong grabbed a handful of messy hair, and his scalp felt a little numb from being stared at, but he still endured it until he was taken to the central area where the team was stationed.
From a distance, she saw a bonfire burning very well. One person was sitting by the bonfire, while the others were standing.
Wen Yantong's gaze was on the person sitting, and he could feel very strongly that that person was Chi Jingxi.
As he got closer and his outline gradually became clearer, Wen Yantong suddenly felt his eyes heat up.
She set off from Chaoge and traveled across thousands of mountains and rivers to Yibei just for this moment.
She saw Chi Jingxi wearing a yellow robe, with one leg bent, sitting by the side of a tree, with a bonfire in front of him, and the flames gilded his handsome face with golden light. His brows and eyes are very calm, as usual without waves. In this place where ginkgo leaves are all over the sky, he looks like the most delicate ginkgo leaf.
Just like the picture in her mind.
She followed the people to the side, staring at Chi Jingxi without blinking her eyes. Even though she was so close, so close that Chi Jingxi could hear her whenever she made a sound, she still couldn't bear to disturb his meditation.
"Young commander." Someone said, "He brought it here."
The voice interrupted Chi Jingxi's thoughts, he slowly raised his eyes from the firelight, and turned to look at her.
Waves suddenly appeared in the silent eyes, and the calm was replaced by surprise. The moment Chi Jingxi saw her, there seemed to be countless emotions hidden in his eyes, and all of them burst out suddenly.
Wen Yantong couldn't help but curled his lips and smiled, but his nose was sore, and tears fell down for no reason.
Seeing Chi Jingxi stand up in shock, she said, "Young Master, I'm here to find you."
The author has something to say: I am a bit naive. I chose the name Sister Mountain for convenience, but I wrote it in a mess.
I have corrected the mistakes that appeared in the last chapter, but there is one thing that I can’t find, o(╥﹏╥)o
