Chapter 633

At the same time, Gu Qingcheng also returned to the camp where Fengxiang yunqi was. From a distance, he saw Zhai Ning and Gu qianxiao waiting at the gate of the camp. Behind them was the Dark Phoenix man who had passed the ancient Yuqiong road.

It's not easy to say that this man's name is Ju Wei. He is a member of the Shatuo kingdom in the west of the thirty-six states of Shahai, and he is also a son of the Ju family of the Shatuo family. But Ju Wei does not come from the blood of the Ju family. He has the name of the Ju family's children, but not the reality of the Ju family's children.

Moreover, because his blood has been born for three generations, after Ju Wei became an adult, his family no longer provided monthly support. Without any way, Ju Wei could only purchase a batch of Shatuo specialty products with the only money left in his family, and transport them with two humped camels, hoping to cross the Shahai sea to Daqian for a good price.

However, his luck was really bad. When he was only a few days away from daqianmingquanguan, he encountered a sandstorm. After the sandstorm, although he survived by luck, the two camels and the goods and water disappeared. There is no food, no fresh water, and no foot strength. It's hard to walk in the hot and dry desert. Just when she told her that she would die in the sand and become a mummy, she happened to meet Yu Chuxin, the leader of the Dark Phoenix at that time, and his fate changed from then on.

In terms of time, Ju Wei has been a member of Dark Phoenix for more than ten years. At the beginning, he could cross the sand sea with only two camels, and he almost succeeded. This toughness and endurance made him highly valued by Yu Chuxin. It was just this toughness that made him become the strongest one among dark Huang, second only to the leader of the eight divisions, and entrusted by Yu Chuxin, It's the Nanli branch of Dark Phoenix.

It's just that when she walks too much at night, she always meets ghosts, because in order to accumulate wealth, she is too frequent, which angers Nanli Junchen. After an operation revealed a flaw, he was surrounded and killed by Wei Shangyong, the Minister of Nanli political reform. In the end, only Ju Wei escaped from the capital of Nanli. But even so, he was still chased by Nanli soldiers and powerful men in the palace. Finally, he had to flee to Yuqiong snow mountain to save his life.

However, this kind of experience also makes Ju Wei the only one who has climbed Yuqiong snow mountain and survived for more than a hundred years, which is why Lu Que and Yu Chuxin let him become Gu Qingcheng's Guide.

However, after Ju Wei arrived again, he said that there was an ancient road at the east foot of Yuqiong snow mountain. Although some of the roads were damaged, most of them were covered with snow and vegetation, they were still passable. Moreover, Ju Wei also said that there was a dilapidated ancient fortress on the ancient road, and the standard system of this fortress was not what Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng thought before the Dayan era.

After learning the news, Lu que immediately sent a letter to Gu Huaiyi, who was stationed near the ruins of zhennanguan. Zhennanguan has been built for more than 200 years. There are a lot of data collected by the military intelligence department, the foreign intelligence department and even the Royal Sanwei. After Lu que made a plan to burn zhennanguan, the data had been transferred to guanbeihe port.

Lu que sent a letter to Gu Huaiyi to sift out these data files and send them to the army immediately. This is one of the reasons why Lu que delayed his march all the way from hexingyuan. The day before Lu Kuo led the army to Xiaogushan, Gu Huaiyi sent people to send these files quickly.

This is also the reason why Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng just searched the yellow paper and sheepskin map for the news of the ancient Yuqiong road.

"Gu Shuai, have you found it?" Zhai Ning stepped forward and asked.

In the Dayan era, an ancient road around Yuqiong snow mountain was once excavated. But before, Ju Wei did not follow the road in the Dayan era, and because he was chased and killed, he walked in a hurry and in a hurry. The ancient road he took did not follow completely. If we can get a panoramic view of this unknown ancient road from the records and data files of ancient books, it will be of great help to the later March. It can make these 30000 soldiers cross Yuqiong mountain more safely and reach Nanli territory.

"Pay back." Although Gu Qingcheng said this, he still showed a smile on his face and clapped the paper and sheepskin map in his hands.

Sure enough, Zhai Ning and Gu qianxiao are both happy when they see this. Ju Wei also looks at Gu Qingcheng's things and breathes in his heart. Although he once walked this road and survived completely, there are two completely different concepts: crossing Yuqiong snow mountain alone and carrying 30000 troops. However, there is no more suitable person in the army to be a guide than him. This makes people feel more pressure. Now that Gu Qingcheng has found the ancient books and maps, the pressure in his heart is much less.

After returning to the big account, Gu didn't directly talk about the topic. Instead, he ordered people to invite Xiao Juntian over after his own soldiers had tea. Among the deviant troops she led this time included nearly 20000 Fengxiang yunqi and thousands of wolves of the white wolf king who survived the battle of the beast tide, as well as 12000 Qingqi of Zhai Ning, and then the strong leader of CIDU led by Xiao Juntian and the Dark Phoenix guide Ju Wei. Finally, ye Zhiqiu, who is still trapped in nangu quarry in Ning'an, is also included.

Now that they have reached Xiaogushan, they will turn to the southwest and enter from the entrance of Ningan North Valley to rescue Ye Zhiqiu, Meng Cang and Li Chang's Fengqi camp and scouting camp. Then it is to avoid the herd and go directly to Yuqiong snow mountain, which normal people will not consider at all. Therefore, since we are discussing the next March route, it is natural that Xiao Juntian, the leader of CIDU, should be present.

After a cup of tea, Xiao Jun comes to Gu Qingcheng's Junyi tent. Instead of getting up, Gu Qingcheng points to the first place in his left hand to let him sit down. In terms of title, Gu Qingcheng is only next to the civil and military Marquis, while Xiao Juntian is only the county marquis. In terms of official position, Gu Qingcheng is the deputy commander of Fengxiang army, commanding the most elite Zuo Junyun cavalry of Fengxiang army. However, Xiao Juntian has no court position, and is at best a well-trained leader of the river and lake. Therefore, Gu's move seems to be disrespectful, but it does not exceed the rules.

Sure enough, Xiao Juntian took a look at Gu Qingcheng and the left seat. He sat down with a smile and said, "in the war of Tianxing, although I was also in Tianxing, I spent most of my time beside Princess Tianxiang. Although I heard that Gu Shuai was fighting for thousands of miles, I didn't see him personally. It's not in vain to be able to travel with him today."

"It's very important of you, marquis Xiao. Who in the world doesn't know his name. His majesty has made a clear decision about the case of Xiao. If Marquis Xiao can get out of the chaos of the river and return to the Da Qian court, he will be able to reappear the glory of Xiao. It can be said that we need to be careful step by step to cross the natural danger all the way. Qingcheng and its soldiers need the care of marquis Xiao and the strong men of CIDU. Here, Qingcheng first thanks Marquis Xiao with tea instead of wine. " Then Gu Qingcheng picked up the tea cup and motioned to Xiao Juntian, then drank it.

Seeing Gu Qingcheng's style, Xiao Juntian smiles a little and takes a sip of the tea. Then he says, "although tea is good, it's not as good as wine. It's a pity that there is no alcohol in the army. Otherwise, he can get drunk with Gu Shuai."

"After this war, if Xiao Hou still has this intention, Qingcheng will naturally join Lu Shuai and have a drink with him." Gu Qingcheng said.

"That's a deal. I'll wait for dashai and Gu Shuai to have a drink." Xiao Juntian sniffed Yan's eyes and took a deep look at Gu Qingcheng. He continued, "Gu Shuai, I don't know what's the matter with inviting me here?"

According to the ancient records, during the period of the Dayan Empire, a mountain road was dug in Yuqiong mountain, which was intended to open up the land link between the present Nanli area and the fertile land in the north. However, Mr. Ju Wei once said that the ancient road he took was not a thing of Dayan period, because the regulation of the dilapidated fortress he passed did not match the time of Dayan period. After I told Lu Shuai, Lu Shuai sent all the files and information maps about yuqiongshan from zhennanguan. After searching for them for more than half a day, I finally found the relevant records from these ancient books. "

Xiao Juntian frowned and said, "when I was in Fengming academy, I had read all the records in the book, but most of them said that mountain roads were dug in Dayan period to facilitate passage. As for other periods, they didn't seem to be recorded. Now that Lu Shuai and Gu Shuai have found the relevant records, I don't know which era the path brother Ju took at the beginning?"

"It was built during the great reputation period." Gu Qingcheng answers.

"Great reputation Empire?" Xiao Juntian, Zhai Ning and Gu qianxiao were all stunned when they heard the speech, while Ju Wei, who had walked this road, was thoughtful.

As the last empire of the three dynasties in ancient times, Dayu's territory includes the whole area to the east of bugui mountain. That is to say, today's Daqian, Nanli, Tianxing and the grassland of the Three Kingdoms in Northern Xinjiang were once under Dayu's rule.

However, the system of Dayu empire was quite different from that of today. Dayu was the last enfeoffment Dynasty. Dayu emperor enfeoffed the vassals to defend the world. Besides paying the year tax and mineral resources to the emperor and providing military food and grass in wartime, the vassals were completely independent kingdom. According to records, more than 300 vassal states were enfeoffed in Dayu Dynasty, covering the whole territory of Dayu.

That is to say, the ancient road that Ju Wei walked along may not have been the work of the Dayu court at that time, but it may have been specially built by a certain vassal state in southern Xinjiang in order to open up trade routes. However, after Dayu's demise, the road was abandoned, and the snow line of yuqiongxue peak has expanded a lot compared with that of that year, which has become a rare natural danger.

"I remember what Gu Shuai said." Ju Wei took out a baby fist sized jade plate from his arms and said, "this jade plate is from that fortress, but because of its age and wear, I always thought it was carved with a dragon or a snake. But now it seems that the object carved on this jade has only one eye, but it is not worn out, so it should be a candle dragon. In the era of great reputation, Yu Tongyu was known for his candle. The candle dragon was the symbol of great reputation in that year. Many valuables in the era of great reputation were engraved with the candle dragon. "

"I didn't expect that brother Ju was born in Shahai, but he knew so much." Xiao Juntian looked at the jade plate and said with a smile.

Ju Wei also said with a smile, "we are not as pure minded as thorns. We only take killing as our business. Although we are as famous as thorns, we have a lot of legitimate business in various countries. Previously, I was ordered by his highness Tianyang to deal with the things that he got. Many of them are ancient objects of different dynasties. They have been cheated by others, and his highness entrusted them with money. Naturally, I need to spend some time to know more about them. Great reputation is a long time ago. I don't have much of it. It's only now that I can see it. I'm really ashamed. "

Xiaojuntian smell speech, deeply looked at Ju Wei one eye, but did not continue to say anything.

In fact, everyone in the account understands that what Ju Wei said about dealing with what she got from Dark Phoenix is nothing more than selling stolen goods. Dark Phoenix slaughtered the whole family of the star merchant MI, and naturally got a lot of money. With Mi's financial resources, there are many rare things in her family. If these things are sold by Ju Wei's hands, it's not surprising that he has such insight.

Gu Qingcheng knew that there was a lot of discord between CI Du and an Huang, but he ignored their conversations and said, "however, even in the great reputation Empire, thousands of years have passed. Mr. Ju Wei also said that although the roadbed is still there, it's not easy to go. What we have to do now is the ancient road that day. According to the records of these ancient books, Mark it on the map again, and then adjust the marching route according to the actual situation. "

"Gu Shuai, is there no exact mark on the sheepskin map?" Gu qianxiao pointed to the Yellow sheepskin map and asked.

"Yes, but this map has a long history, many places are damaged, and now it is incomplete. We're going to get it back. And because time has changed, there must have been great changes in the topography of the past few thousand years. Even if we know the original appearance of the road, we have to redraw it according to the current map. " Gu Qingcheng finished, but unfortunately he unfolded the map. There were many abrasions on the edges and corners of the map, and there were many gaps on the map. He didn't know whether the sheepskin was hard or bitten by insects.

"Gu Shuai, what if you can't recover the whole picture?" Xiao Juntian looked at the map in his eyes. He frowned and asked.

Gu Qingcheng took another look at the map and said, "the marks on the northern entrance of the ancient road in this map are quite clear, but there are several turning points lost in the middle. If we can't restore the whole picture, it doesn't matter. When we get to the blank space of the map, we can send someone to explore the way, and then we need Xiao Hou's help."

Xiaojuntian smell speech curled the corner of the mouth, but still nodded down. Naturally, he understood Gu Qingcheng's meaning. If the map could not be completely restored, he would send a small group of people to explore the way forward. Then the people who had more accomplishments than ordinary soldiers were the only choice. This was one of the purposes of Lu quehui's inviting him into Gu Qingcheng's army.
