Chapter 97 Populus euphratica Village

The trident An Guogong only used it when he had no choice.

This scratch was obviously used when he fell off the cliff to prevent him from falling too fast.

"Come on, let's go to the bottom of the cliff and have a look."

Chu Yunjin immediately told the secret guards that this cliff is not very high, about two or three feet, and if you fall from here according to An Guogong's skills, and there is a small trident as resistance, you will not fall to death.

Such a discovery made Chu Yunjin very excited. He hoped to find some useful clues below, and even more hoped that An Guogong was not dead.

So Chu Yunjin and four secret guards went around to the bottom of the cliff.

There is a valley under the cliff. The bottom of the valley is full of gravel and some shrubs have grown, but no traces are left.

Chu Yunjin did not rush out to look for it, but used Qinggong to fly up the cliff. He looked at the scratches made by the trident. Basically, there were scratches intermittently from top to bottom. This showed that An Guogong If he fell from here, he must have been alive at the time.

Chu Yunjin took a deep breath. He came down from here alive. There must be a chance to escape, but he didn't know if he escaped.

After looking around, he asked two secret guards to go out from the other end, and he and the other two secret guards looked out from the other end.

After Chu Yunjin found his way out, a desert appeared in front of him.

This is the Mobei Desert, and at the end of this desert is the Beiming Kingdom.

This desert is relatively large, with a radius of several hundred miles. If someone enters the desert on foot and does not have enough water, he will definitely be trapped in the desert.

Chu Yunjin thought that An Guogong would not enter the desert. He knew the consequences of entering the desert. If he was not trapped to death, the enemy would find him and he would not be able to escape.

So they turned around and headed the other way.

The two secret guards on the other side also reached the end. The end of this side was a lake. The lake was not very big. After they discovered it, they hurried back to report to Chu Yunjin. They met up halfway, and the secret guards immediately reported to him. illustrate.

After Chu Yunjin knew it was a lake, he quickly speeded up and ran over. It was indeed a lake. The water in the lake was crystal clear, and it was clear what was there.

They patrolled around the lake and saw nothing unusual.

Then Chu Yunjin looked at the Populus euphratica forest next to the lake. Populus euphratica forests are not uncommon in the Gobi Desert. The Populus euphratica forests here are not dense either. There are a few relatively large Populus euphratica trees standing sparsely. It is impossible to hide people in them.

So he led the secret guards into the Populus euphratica forest, and then searched all the way out.

Not far from the Populus euphratica forest, we unexpectedly saw a small village.

"master."

The four secret guards looked at him, waiting for him to make up his mind.

"Go in and have a look."

The four secret guards nodded and walked towards the village.

There are also Populus euphratica trees everywhere in the village, and every house built is backed by a big Populus euphratica tree.

When the people in the village saw a stranger entering the village, they immediately became vigilant.

This village is called Huyang Village. It was originally very large and basically isolated from the outside world. It lived a life without fighting against the world. However, five years ago, a war broke out not far from here. Later, the village was discovered and was captured by soldiers from the Beiming Kingdom. Killed nearly half of the villagers.

Now the villagers are very wary whenever they see strangers entering the village.

Chu Yunjin and the others were wearing the clothes worn by ordinary people in Dongchen Kingdom, and they were also dressed as hunters. Seeing them like this, the villagers still did not reduce their vigilance. Some villagers hurriedly ran to report to the village chief after seeing them.

The village chief found out and ran out. When he saw Chu Yunjin and the other five, he immediately stopped them.The village chief asked in a deep voice: "Who are you and how did you come to our village?"

Chu Yunjin cupped his hands towards the village chief: "You must be the village chief. That's right. We came here to hunt. We accidentally got lost and barged in. We came here just to ask for directions."

The village chief looked at the bows and arrows behind them, and they looked like they were hunting.

There are indeed many people outside Huyang Village who come to the Gobi Desert to hunt. Even though the Gobi Desert is bare, there are actually a lot of pheasants, hares, pigs... some less aggressive game.

"Where are you going?"

The village chief still did not relax his vigilance.

Chu Yunjin: "We want to go back to Mobei City."

"It's so far away, how can you come here from Mobei City to hunt?"

The village chief was suspicious and looked at Chu Yunjin and the others with very unkind eyes. Mobei City is almost a hundred miles away from here, and there are troops stationed in Mobei City. Ordinary people will not come here. They can only come here after dozens of people. Only people from inside and outside come here to hunt.

But how did Chu Yunjin know this? Although he had stayed in Mobei City for more than twenty years in his past and present lives, he had never been here. He had been staying in the military camp honestly, only wanting to make contributions and then Return to the capital.

He didn't want to reveal right away that they were not hunters.

The village chief waved his hand and told the villagers to hide quickly.

Then the village chief asked sternly: "Who are you?"

Chu Yunjin walked into the village chief and looked directly into his eyes: "Village chief, don't be afraid that we are bad guys. We are here for the war five years ago."

The village chief became even more vigilant. He quickly stepped back and looked at Chu Yunjin with a fierce look: "Who are you? Five years have passed since the war. Things have changed a long time ago."

The war five years ago killed many villagers, but they also rescued many wounded soldiers. They were all pulled out of the pile of dead people, and one was rescued from the lake.

But those wounded soldiers left after they recovered.

Only the person who was rescued from the lake was surprised that he did not return to Mobei City, but entered the desert.

Chu Yunjin: "I'm here to find someone. I believe the village chief knows something inside. I hope the village chief can tell the truth."

From the village chief's eyes, Chu Yunjin believed that the village chief must know something.

This place is too close to the battlefield. Someone must have witnessed the war, and maybe many people were saved.

In that war, not a single one of the [-] soldiers was spared. They were all killed, but there were always some who were still alive. They must have fainted at the time.

"No comment."

The village chief refused directly, "You should leave here and go south quickly to return to Mobei City, otherwise it will not be safe at night."

These people are just looking for someone now. Someone must have been involved in that war, and those wounded soldiers probably didn't go back and became deserters, otherwise it would be impossible for these people to find them here.

It was impossible for him to betray those people. Even if they all became deserters, it would be a last resort.

Moreover, Chu Yunjin and the others had a murderous aura about them. At first glance, they looked like they were not hunters, but soldiers.

Although Chu Yunjin was dressed shabbily, he was extremely handsome, and it was even more difficult to hide his noble aura. He was not an ordinary citizen at all.
