Chapter 40: Goose Crossing Pass

Yan Gui accompanied Gu Tu at the back of the line leisurely, without saying or asking anything, just waiting for him to calm down slowly.

When the two of them also fully entered the gate of Yanduguan, only to hear the heavy "squeak" sound again, the gate was slowly closed again, and by the way, the wind and snow on the snow field were also blocked behind them.

The city wall of Yanduguan is very high, and the top is arched and extends towards the center.Even if it is not completely closed, it also plays a good shielding effect.So as soon as you enter Yandu Pass, you can feel the temperature rise obviously, even if there is a cold wind blowing over your skin, you won't feel uncomfortable.

On the road from the city gate to the General's Mansion, Yan Gui found that the east of the city was obviously more lively than the west of the city. Many barracks in the west of the city were almost vacant, and only one or two soldiers could be seen occasionally.

After that, the three thousand soldiers brought by Ye Yai were also placed in the barracks in the west of the city.

Gu Tu had put away those unsteady moods at this moment, returned the cloak to Yan Gui, thanked him sincerely, and then devoted himself to his duties.Although there are not many people in the team, it still needs someone to allocate and plan.

Gu Tu is the one who is more familiar with Yanduguan in the whole team, so it is appropriate for him to handle it.

Yan Gui put away his cloak, and drove his horse towards Ye Yai, who was at the front of the team, just in time to meet Old General Gu who was talking to Ye Yai about the situation in the camp.

"The stables, the medical hall, the training ground...Although this west camp has not been used for many years, it is full of everything that should be there." Old General Gu pointed gruffly at the barracks in front of him, not knowing where it was. The previous anger has not subsided or for other reasons, he still looks a little unhappy.Even his attitude towards Ye Yai and the others was just so-so, with a feeling of indifference: "Young master, you can stay here first, the old man will lead soldiers to patrol the other side of the river today, so I won't accompany you any more."

"Go well, old general." Ye Yai nodded calmly, but Yan Gui still saw a trace of displeasure in his eyes.

He came here from the royal capital with an order. Even though he didn't care about the hospitality, according to the rules, there should be a reception banquet.But now looking at the old general's appearance, he simply omitted this procedure, and he couldn't wait to leave.

When Old General Gu left with the defenders of Yandu Pass, Ye Ya looked at the direction they were leaving and said in a low voice: "He thinks that I am used to being pampered and can't do anything big. Jingjing is just going through the motions, so don't bother wasting time with me."

"It's inevitable." When Yan Gui promised Ye Linhan to come to the northern border, he had already made all the preparations, which of course included being coldly received due to seniority or other reasons.So he faced the current situation very calmly, and by the way, he explained Ye Yaa a few words: "But it's not a big problem, although we are fledglings, but as long as we work hard for a few years, we may not be able to impress them. "

"That's the truth, but I still have a headache if the guard refuses to cooperate." Ye Yai tilted his head in thought, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Forget it, as the saying goes, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge, so I can always think of a way to solve it. Hurry up." It’s more than ten days’ journey, let’s take a rest first.”

Because Yan Gui was given the status of a lieutenant before coming to the northern border, so his residence was naturally arranged in the same compound as Ye Ya.

According to Ye Ya, the barracks in the west of the city should be the place where the previous king of Zhenbei garrisoned. Later, most of the army of the king of Zhenbei died in battle, and most of the remaining soldiers were unable to continue to join the army due to injuries or other reasons, so the west of the city was left idle. down.

Approaching the courtyard, Yan Gui looked around and found that the houses in the courtyard were well repaired, but the cleaning was not thorough.In some corners, thick dust and cobwebs can still be seen. It seems that I didn't pay much attention when cleaning it up.

This Old General Gu is also stubborn enough. If it were someone else, even if he felt that Ye Yai was here for a formality, he would definitely treat him well and dare not neglect him.How can it be like now, the perfunctory is so obvious, it really makes Yan Gui feel a little dumbfounded.

Fortunately, the room was cleaned carefully, otherwise Yan Gui felt that Ye Ya might really be angry.

Ari and the maids quickly rearranged the room and placed all the objects they brought in the room.After the maids were busy, the whole room seemed more lively, and it was no longer as cold and lonely as it was when they first came in.

Because Yanduguan is located in the extreme north, there is another heavy snowfall at this time, so the sky is darker and earlier.

After lighting the lamp, Ye Yai and Yan Gui had just sat down at the table when they heard a clear "da, da" sound from outside the door, as if something was knocking on wood.

Ye Yai got up to open the door, only to see a Garuda sitting on the steps pecking at the door.

This golden-winged bird was only the size of a palm, but its feathers were extremely bright. It was the one that Yan Gui Neizong had seen at that time.Yan Gui remembered that at that time, Ye Ya asked the Garuda to bring him a small note, inviting him to go to Jinlin King's Capital together.

Yan Gui still remembered that Seventeen once said that this kind of golden-winged bird finds people through blood relationship.

At this time, it is easy to guess where the bird came from - Jinlin King's Capital, or more accurately, it should come from Ye Linhan.

Ye Ya leaned over and stretched out his hand, and the Garuda jumped onto the back of his hand very spiritually, but the movement was a little crooked.Ye Yai frowned, and used his other hand to push back the shiny feathers of the Garuda, only to find a fresh bloodstain on the base of the bird's leg.

"This is an arrow wound." Ye Ya looked at the shape of the scar that was still oozing blood, and then observed the condition of the blood solidification, "And it should be the injury received in Yandu Pass, otherwise the blood should have solidified long ago. "

Injured by the arrow in Yandu Pass, Yan Gui's nerves suddenly tensed up, and he asked, "Could it be an accidental injury?"

"It's possible, but I have to consider the worst case first." The look on Ye Yai's face became complicated, "Gold-winged birds are usually used to transmit messages between royal families. If someone deliberately wants to shoot down the Garuda, That means they want access to certain classified information."

After speaking, Ye Yai took a rolled up note from Garuda's body.After unfolding, Ye Ya softly read out the only few words on it: "Assault on the city, ambush, all evil spirits collaborating with the enemy."

Attacking the city, that is, the small border town was attacked by false demons; ambush, that is, the false demons they encountered in front of the valley ambushed.

Originally, Yan Gui wondered, why did the false devil know when they set off?And can the false demons still have time to arrange an ambush in the valley in advance?If there was an inner ghost who disclosed the news to the false devil in advance, it would make sense.

As for that time in the border town...

"Do you still remember the city lord who abandoned the city and fled? At that time, in the confusion, he once said that he dared to abandon the city because of someone's promise." Ye Ya reminded.

Yan Gui said: "I remembered, after he recognized your identity later, he never said a word again."

"It's not that he refuses, it's that he doesn't dare." Ye Yai said, "At that time, I thought that the person he dared not mention should have an unusual status. In addition to the news from my uncle this time, it said that we were ambushed and that It is even more certain that the people behind the city lord are related."

"So these two times, the same person secretly communicated with the false devil?"

"Yes, and there was something I wanted to tell you just now." Ye Ya reached out and touched the scar on Garuda's leg, and his golden eyes became a little darker, "I didn't realize until after I arrived at Yanduguan Speaking of the Gu family's army, did the generals and soldiers of King Yan's family in Zhenbei die a little too much?"

Yan Gui clenched her fingers subconsciously.

Indeed, as Ye Ya said, the desolate appearance of ten rooms and nine empties in the west of the city can only be realized after arriving at Yandu Pass, how different it is from the appearance of the east of the city.

"In the great battle that year, the Gu family and the Yan family fought against the false demons together. In the end, the Yan family was almost wiped out, but the Gu family was able to retain more than half of their strength. It is really hard for me not to think about it. Can the false demon pick people to kill on the battlefield?"

Yan Gui pondered for a moment, then calmly said: "Although there is something strange, it is not enough to prove that General Gu is collaborating with the enemy."

"I know, this is just a guess, but it's not wrong to pay more attention from now on." Ye Ya shook his head, "As I said, some things must be prepared for the worst."

Having said that, both of them were a little silent.

If this guess is true, the situation they face will become very difficult.

Why did the Yan family suffer so many casualties?If it was said that before this, Yan Hui felt that the battlefield was cruel, but after Ye Ya raised that question, he had to think in another direction.

Is there something else hidden about this matter?

The unsolvable question kept lingering in Yan Gui's mind, which made him feel a little restless.

After coming out from Ye Yai, Yan Gui didn't return to his residence immediately.

Yan Gui didn't like being controlled by such negative emotions. He originally wanted to ask Shi Qi what he thought, after all, Shi Qi had spent much more time and things than him.But he immediately remembered that Shiqi was refining the Leaving Aperture Pill, and he might not have time to answer his troubles.

The heavy snow outside Yandu Pass should have stopped. At this time, there are some small snowflakes drifting in from outside the semi-curved wall. Coupled with the not so piercing cold wind, it makes the restless Yangui feel a little comfortable.

He wandered aimlessly around the barracks in the west of the city, thinking that even if he met one or two veterans of the Yan family, he would still be able to ask a few questions about the specific situation back then.

However, the sky did not go as expected, and after dark, the scattered soldiers in the west of the city were no longer visible, and they must have gone back to their houses to rest.

As he walked, he saw a light ahead.

That should be the medical hall in the camp in the west of the city, because the medical hall is always open to the public, so a large area of ​​warm yellow light is projected in front of the door.On a cold and dark night, this seemingly warm source of light is tempting to get close to.

Yan Gui felt the same way, so he walked over almost subconsciously.

There is a unique smell of medicinal materials in the medical hall, slightly bitter mixed with a little subtle fragrance, although it smells a little strange, it is surprisingly not annoying.There was only one person in the entire medical building, and it was not in the main hall, but in the inner room.

Yan Gui stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the inner room, and saw Shen Yunci sitting at the table.

The profile of Shen Yunci's face looked a little hazy under the warm light, and the long hair tied up casually by the headband was hung on the right shoulder, revealing a small section of his slender and fair neck.But when Yan Gui saw his eyes, words such as gentleness and softness were instantly thrown aside.

There was a blueprint on the table, and Shen Yunci pressed his hand on the blueprint, his cold and bright eyes were full of sharpness and light at this moment.

It shone dangerously like a beast that had seen its prey.

Yan Gui was unconsciously attracted by this bright light, and took two steps forward to see clearly that the blueprint on the table was a map, and a few black characters were exposed where Shen Yunci pressed his fingertips hard.

Although part of it was covered, Yangui Lianmeng Daichai still recognized it.
