After slowly testing, Wen Qingzhu finally determined that it was safe.
Star grass doesn't like sunlight, so it grows in dark and humid places.
They naturally emit a fragrance that only comes out when there is no sunlight at all.
As for the fruitless flowers, this is where the stargrass exists, and they generally do.
Wen Qingzhu did not let them light the torch, but pressed Ye Mingzhu out to explore the way.
Guo Da, who was walking in the front, had never seen such a bright night pearl, and it was so big and round!
The first time Wen Qingzhu took it out, his eyes widened.
I couldn't help but wonder, who is this Mr. Xue? As soon as I took action, I actually came up with such a treasure!
He became more and more respectful in his heart and did not dare to be careless!
Guo Da knew that they were going to the place where Fu Jiajun was trapped, and he tacitly agreed that they were here for the treasure!
He has met Boss Yu twice. He is a big businessman in the timber business. His total net worth is estimated to be about a thousand taels of gold!
There are many people richer than him in the world, and it would definitely be normal if they knew the news that Boss Yu knew.
Wen Qingzhu didn't miss the look in Guo Da's eyes, but she had no time to care about it, as long as he didn't have murderous intentions.
Walking to the middle of the valley, Wen Qingzhu suddenly discovered that there was a piece of star grass and fruitless flower in front of him that someone had licked!
Wen Qingzhu walked over quickly and checked before and after.
The star grass in the best year and best location was uprooted!
Wen Qingzhu looked at this open space. Under the reflection of the night pearl, some sprouts had grown faintly.
I squatted down and took a closer look, and found that the harvesting method looked a bit professional!
Know that after harvesting this crop, save the roots so they can continue to grow!
"Someone has been here! They specially collected the best batch of Star Grass!" Wen Qingzhu came to a conclusion.
Lei Shuo couldn't help but ask: "With such a large amount, three or five people can't harvest it and move it quickly, right?"
Wen Qingzhu nodded, already having the answer in his heart.
The places where star grass can be used as medicine are limited, but it is very useful in places where this poisonous insect is common!
Seeing that the sprouts of the Star Grass in front and behind were almost the same, Wen Qingzhu was already sure that Fu Lie had sent someone to do this!
When she was still in the capital, she had seen a lot of local customs related to the northwest.
As a doctor, it is naturally necessary to have a deeper understanding of the herbal medicines here.
Especially here, there are a lot of scorpions and other poisonous things, which would be very troublesome.
At that time, Fu Lie was watching her read books from the northwest, and he also borrowed them to read.
Wen Qingzhu knew medical skills, so he could just take a look at the herbal medicine, so he didn't make any remarks.
But Fu Lie was different. He even came specifically to ask about Tianxingcao.
About its functions, how to harvest it, how to store it, how to use it, etc.
Wen Qingzhu explained to him in detail that the harvesting techniques here looked so familiar that Wen Qingzhu had to suspect that Fu Lie must have passed by here!
She looked back again. According to the army's march, it would rarely go to such a place that is easy to attack and difficult to defend.
And there are no traces of marching here, otherwise these Tianxingcao would not be preserved!
Then Fu Lie took another path!
Wen Qingzhu was already convinced and turned to Beidou and the others to harvest part of the Star Grass and Fruitless Flowers.
If they encounter a pack of wolves, it will be difficult for the four of them to escape.
The smell of fruitless flowers is very unpleasant when exposed to sunlight, especially burnt fruitless flowers.
A sufficient amount of herbs were prepared, and they were processed briefly, and each person was given a portion of star grass and fruitless flowers.
They quickly left the valley.
Otherwise, during the day, the smell of star grass will dissipate, and the odor of fruitless flowers will spread due to the arrival of sunlight.
This valley is not very long. After walking for about half an hour, they came out of here.
By the moonlight, Wen Qingzhu saw a higher mountain in front of him, split in the middle, and a road vaguely appeared!
Wen Qingzhu looked at that place and couldn't help but think, that was where Fu Lie was trapped, right
Sure enough, as she was thinking this, Guo Da pointed in front and said, "Master Xue, ahead is the only place that leads to the Xiongnu, Shuangfeng Mountain!"
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "This place is indeed easy to defend but difficult to attack! The mountain is steep, and there are bare forests on both sides. There is nothing! If you go straight up the mountain, it will be easy for people to find your traces!"
"No wonder the Fu family army wants to take the road in the middle of the valley!" Lei Shuo also understood what Wen Qingzhu meant.
"Should we go?" Guo Da asked, but he actually didn't want to go.
Because even the Huns did not dare to go to that mountain often. Although he was a guide, the farthest he could reach was here.
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "Find a place, let's have a good rest and wait until dawn!"
Guo Da breathed out instantly, it was okay, okay.
He was familiar with this place and quickly found a suitable place to rest.
Everyone took turns on duty until dawn.
The field of vision in front of him suddenly widened, and Wen Qingzhu finally saw the entire Shuangfeng Mountain in detail.
After stretching out his hand to measure, Wen Qingzhu discovered that this mountain was actually not far away!
From here to there, there are two hills in the middle, undulating.
Wen Qingzhu looked at Guo Da: "You haven't been before, have you?"
"Of course I've never been there. After passing the Shuangfeng Mountain, it's easy to encounter the Huns. They are all barbarians! How dare the Daqi people go there!"
Guo Da didn't feel guilty at all, he was telling the truth anyway.
Wen Qingzhu carefully observed the terrain and found that the mountainous areas were not suitable for cavalry, so the Huns were kept out.
Most of the time, the Xiongnu would rather attack Yongheguan, after all, the cavalry can arrive quickly.
But it’s really different here in Shuangfeng Mountain!
But how could there be a treasure in a place like this
Wen Qingzhu doesn't look like a place with treasures, but there must be a reason why Fu Lie and the others escaped from trouble here!
There are few of them, and they put on concealing gray-brown clothes. Even if they are walking on Shuangfeng Mountain, they are not so easy to be discovered!
Guo Da just watched them take off their coats, turn them over and put them on again. At the same time, they found hats and towels and covered their heads and faces.
Wen Qingzhu looked at Guo Da up and down: "You have to go there too, but in order not to be discovered, please walk beside us with your waist hunched over!"
After hearing what she said, Guo Da didn't quite understand.
But when they walked out of the forest and reached the bare mountain, Guo Da understood what Wen Qingzhu meant.
Beidou, Wen Qingzhu and Lei Shuo were the ones walking in line, walking very compactly, almost with their heels touching.
Although Guo Da's clothes are not easy to spot, they still have a lot more clothes than Wen Qingzhu and others.
Wen Qingzhu was a cautious man, so he asked Guo Da to walk on their left side, lowering his head and arching his back, and followed them up the mountain.
Because on their right side is the direction where the Huns can see.
In this way, Wen Qingzhu and the others were relatively relaxed, while Guo Da was miserable.
After walking for a full hour, they reached halfway up the mountain.
After finding a stone shelter from the wind, Wen Qingzhu asked everyone to sit down and rest.
From their angle, looking towards the aisle in the middle of Shuangfeng Mountain, they could already see clearly what was going on inside.
This aisle is not a thin line of sky, it can even accommodate twenty people walking side by side.
It’s just that on this mountain—
Wen Qingzhu looked up. If she could find traces of gunpowder residue, she would probably be able to confirm whether Jiang Yuancheng or Lu Ce intervened!
After resting for two quarters of an hour, they set off again.
Shuangfeng Mountain is different from many big mountains in Daqi. It is because the northwest is close to the Xiongnu grassland and there are not many high mountains, so Shuangfeng Mountain appears to be very tall and steep.
At least Wen Qingzhu and Beidou walked easily, only Guo Da and Lei Shuo were very tired.
This time, they reached the top of the mountain in less than an hour.
There were unexpected potholes on it, and there was a smell of saltpeter.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and asked Guo Da to lie down. She went over to check the potholes and found yellow powder and black powder.
When you twist it and smell it, it does smell like gunpowder.
Wen Qingzhu took out a thunderbolt and poured water on it before letting Beidou split it.
I took out the powder inside and compared it with the yellow powder remaining on the ground. It was ordinary gunpowder.
Wen Qingzhu looked up and looked in the direction of the Huns in the distance. Could Lu Ce really be helping the Huns
why
"What did you find?" Lei Shuo came over and asked her in a low voice.
Wen Qingzhu smiled bitterly and said nothing.
I thought that if Jiang Yuancheng thought of using gunpowder, she would be ruthless.
But the person who trapped Fu Lie was Lu Ce, and Wen Qingzhu's mood was particularly complicated.
Now that they were here, Wen Qingzhu turned around and took them down the mountain.
Naturally, it’s time to go to the mountain trail.
She had just observed her surroundings and found nothing strange.
They spent more than an hour going down the mountain and arrived at the entrance of the mountain road.
Guo Da was a little frightened because he saw traces of the march on the ground.
At the same time, there are piles of rocks visible to the naked eye. It is obvious that this place has been bombed.
If these people went in and were discovered by the Huns, they would probably die without a burial place.
Wen Qingzhu and the others walked in, but Guo Da was dragging his feet and refused to leave.
After walking a few steps, Wen Qingzhu suddenly stopped, looked at Guo Da and said, "The top of the mountain has already been blown up. If we want to blow it up again, we will need more powerful gunpowder, but they don't have it!"
"Yes, yes!" Guo Da nodded quickly and kept up with them.
This mountain road was very long, and it took them two quarters of an hour to actually reach it.
Soon they discovered that Scorpion and Wu Gong were in and out, and Wen Qingzhu immediately asked everyone to take out the Star Grass.
With the smell of star grass, the scorpion centipede quickly avoided it, at least not daring to come directly in their direction.
As he walked, there were more and more piles of rocks. Wen Qingzhu even saw grave bags buried on the spot, as well as various weapons with damaged armor.
There are still many dark brown traces left by blood on many stones.
Seeing these circumstances, Wen Qingzhu's face became darker and darker, while Lei Shuo breathed heavily and tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.
Guo Da was trembling all over. He looked up at the three people in front of him, feeling increasingly frightened.
Who are they
There are so many dead people here, why are they not afraid at all? Such a calm reaction
Especially the man who had been silent all this time actually dared to dig up those graves.
As a result, many bugs came out accidentally!
But soon a powder was sprinkled, and the bugs fled away.
Wen Qingzhu looked at those black bugs, and his heart became even heavier. There were actually corpse-eating bugs here!
Fortunately, they were prepared before they came!
There was wind in the mountain road, and the echoes came in, and the echoes echoed again, making their footsteps unclear.
The advantage is that they can hide their whereabouts, but the disadvantage is that if someone comes from the other side, it will be difficult for them to detect it.
As he walked along, Wen Qingzhu saw two huge rocks in front of him, with a gap in the middle that could only accommodate one person to pass through.
Wen Qingzhu stopped and looked at the gap in front of him.
There are still rocks over there, and the view is not blocked.
Beidou looked back at her, waiting for her order, while Lei Shuo couldn't help but ask, "Why is this stone so big?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared on the other side of the gap!
Wen Qingzhu quickly took two steps back, because the other person was actually wearing clothes the same color as the stone, with his head and face covered, only a pair of eyes exposed.
