MTL - Drunk House-Chapter 588 Trapped (2 more)
Chapter 588 Trapped (second update)
The news Fengyue sent was three days ago.
The place they are currently in is thousands of miles away from Death Valley of Wanren Mountain.
Su Rong immediately said to Ye Guixue: "Guixue, take a look at the topographic map, is there the shortest road to Wanren Mountain?"
Ye Guixue quickly opened the topographic map, looked at it for a while, and nodded to Su Rong, "Yes, but this road is so steep that it is difficult for cavalry to travel."
Unlike them trying to block Han Yin, although they took the shortest road, at least horses can climb across it. Now there is a road here, which has to climb mountains and cross cliffs in the middle. People can walk, but horses cannot.
"If this road is taken, how many days is it expected to arrive? How much faster is it than the ordinary road?" Su Rong asked.
"It can be reached in two days." Ye Guixue said: "But if the princess only takes the cavalry on the main road, she can arrive in two days."
Su Rong stared at the topographic map and discussed with him, "If the infantry walks on the mountain road and the cavalry walks on the mainland, how about dividing the troops into two groups?"
Ye Guixue nodded, "Be sure, one side will arrive first."
"Okay, let's do it like this." Su Rong looked at him, "Guixue, you and Qin Ruo, with 50,000 infantry, can you go on the mountain road? Feng Ling and I will take 50,000 cavalry on the main road."
After all, the mountain road is hard to find, and you must return to the snow at night to guide the way.
"Okay." Ye Guixue had no objection.
Su Rong looked at Qin Ruo again, "I will give you Lanzhi, and she will bring some hidden guards to protect you."
Knowing that the matter is urgent, Qin Ruo nodded, "Okay, don't worry, princess."
Thus, the three of them decided that they would immediately divide into two groups and head to the Death Valley of Wanren Mountain.
At the same time, Fengyue took Nanchu King, Zhou Gu, Zhang Yun and the hidden guards to hide and seek with the Nangong family's killer in Death Valley.
Either you suddenly appeared and killed me, or I suddenly appeared and killed you. It's like going around a maze, and it has been around for several days.
On this day, Fengyue said to Zhou Gu with a pale face: "Fourth son Liu'an King's 50,000 private soldiers have surrounded Wanren Mountain and are searching the mountain inch by inch. I passed the news to the master, but I don't know when the master will receive it. Maybe two days, maybe three days. It may take two or three days, or three to five days, before she gets the news. Maybe. Can we last this long?"
"If you can't last this long, you have to." Zhou Gu remained calm, staring at the distant mountain expressionlessly, "It's better to have a heavy snow now, the snow will block the mountain, and the mountain road will be difficult to walk. King Liu'an's 50,000 troops will not be able to enter."
Zhang Yun glanced at the sky and sighed, "No snow."
The King of Southern Chu looked extremely ugly, "Chu Qian even raised 50,000 soldiers and horses privately, which is really ambitious."
Zhou Gu turned his head to look at King Nan Chu, seemingly speechless, "Father-in-law, how did you get to this point?"
Before he had a deep understanding of the situation in Southern Chu, he never imagined that there are sinkholes everywhere in Southern Chu, which can bury people to death.
Nan Chu Wang Yanyan, "I don't want to live anymore in those years, but for the sake of my ancestors' foundation, I can only grit my teeth and hold my breath, like a walking dead. Later, I found out that I still have a daughter, and I have lived this breath. I can stand up. What can I do in five years? There are too few things that can be done. In the ten years when I didn't manage, Nangong's family was a foreign relative, powerful, and Ye Xiangfu had to retreat. Standing on top of each other, this is checks and balances, I just want the stability of the court, and when I die, I will choose a descendant in the clan to adopt, as for what happens to Nanchu after my death, I can't control it."
Zhou Gu looked at him, "Are there only these hidden guards around you? Look, we have almost circled the entire Southern Chu from north to west, then south, and now to the east. I didn't see your power either. I only saw that the Nangong family went out to hunt them down. I also saw the 50,000 private soldiers raised by King Liu'an, but the 50,000 soldiers in Xiling couldn't be used."
He was so aggrieved that he didn't know whether he should regret that he took the idea and ran to the capital to steal the king. This has resulted in the passive situation of the current narrow escape.
It really irritated him to death.
If his grandfather and the crown prince knew that he was so capable, and even led his father-in-law to dance around under the heavy net of the Nangong family, maybe they should praise him for his promise.
But only he knew in his heart that he wanted to cry.
All kinds of life-preserving pills supported by countless precious and good medicines from the poisonous forest, can't make him feel confident. Fifty thousand soldiers and horses, **** it, if he only deals with those mad dogs of Nangong's family, he can still deal with them, but what should he do if 50,000 soldiers and horses search for every inch of the mountain?
Self-hanging southeast branch?
He is not reluctant to part with his freshly baked father-in-law, but himself who is reluctant to part with Su Rong.
Why.
The King of Southern Chu looked at Zhou Gu and said: "The power I cultivated when I was the crown prince was destroyed by Zhen Min and my relatives. At that time, I sent people to assassinate the emperor of Wei, disrupting the royal family of Wei, and almost all of them were wiped out. Later, my father died and I ascended the throne. Then the news of Zhen Min's tragic death in Wei spread to Nan Chu. Since then, I don't want to live anymore.
Zhou Gu couldn't put it into words, "It's understandable, but it's not easy for you, father-in-law."
Back then, Zhen Min and Qin Dawei created chaos in Wei. It turned out that she was not able to do it alone with the hidden guards left by Prince Derui.
She was able to get away smoothly and hide from the sky, it must be someone who attracted the firepower caused by the internal chaos of the Wei royal family.
He thought, what was His Majesty Daliang doing at that time? He is also the crown prince, maybe he is glad that Zhenmin agreed to marry Dawei and kept his throne, right?
He respected the King of Southern Chu, sat up straight, and whispered, "No wonder you won the heart of your mother-in-law after you took your love with a sword."
Southern Chu King: "..."
Although this statement is not pleasant, it is true. He didn't refute, anyway, no matter how many years have passed, that period of history is obvious to all, and everyone knows that he snatched Zhen Min from Xie Yuan, but he couldn't keep it, and Da Wei wanted to marry her.
In front of the family, the country, and the world, his children's personal relationship seemed insignificant, which made him hate Zhenmin's righteousness, and also hated Emperor Liang's selfishness.
So, when I heard that Su Rong gave up Ye Guixue and chose Zhou Gu, judging from a few months ago, there was really no advantage in choosing Zhou Gu to win the position when she came back, but she still chose. He was helpless and relieved at the same time that his daughter was in his blood. If it hadn't been for Zhenmin's begging, he would have never agreed to let her marry Dawei. He didn't care if the world was overthrown. Do you want her to hold a dagger and really die in front of her?
The past buried in the dust of history, really thinking about it, made his heart ache, the pain was so painful that he couldn't breathe.
Seeing that King Nanchu's expression changed, and something was wrong, Zhou Gu quickly put his hand on his shoulder to comfort him, "Father-in-law, don't worry, there is no unparalleled road, and Xiao Qi has already arrived. If she gets the news that we are trapped, she will definitely come to rescue us. We must have a way until she comes to rescue us."
