"I planted this tree and built this road. If you want to pass through here, you have to leave some money for passage." An arrogant voice sounded, interrupting Gu Junwen's trance.

"Tongtong, what era is this? There are still people saying such old-fashioned words." Gu Junwen obediently pulled the reins of his horse and looked at the small group of bandits in front of him.

"Yes, host, there is an army following you." System 101 looked at the old story and yawned in boredom.

"Yes, it's not impossible to not see the shining iron cavalry horses." Gu Junwen grumbled in confusion and watched the deputy lieutenant general in the team move forward. There were some twists and turns along the way, and it was also a relief to watch.

"Tongtong, isn't this place not far from Tanzhou?"

System 101 answered seriously, "It's true that the mountain road is not that close, but if you abandon your horse and climb the mountain, it's actually not that far."

"In other words, we are only one mountain away from Tanzhou. If it were me, I would definitely look out and ambush on the top of the mountain to give the enemy a blow. Brigadier General Dong!" Gu Junwen was suddenly stunned, spurred his horse around and ran straight to Brigadier General Dong.

"General, what do you want me to do?" Lieutenant General Dong hurriedly urged his horse forward.

"You just said that the advance team only sent a safety signal, and no one returned?"

"Yes. Please rest assured, General. The brothers are all good hands. The safety signal is correct."

"Has Admiral Dong ever thought about the fact that no one from the advance team has returned yet, and who sent the safety signal?" Gu Junwen stared into Admiral Dong's eyes, his gaze sharp.

"This is impossible, I..." Admiral Dong stiffened his neck and tried to continue arguing, but he heard a commotion ahead.

Among the bandits who had no power to fight back, one of them suddenly drew his sword and rushed towards the large group of people, shouting, "God bless Youdu." His voice was filled with a heavy accent and an incomprehensible foreign language.

However, in the face of absolute force, individual resistance is too weak. After a flash of a knife, everything returned to calm.

"Dead for sure? Mission accomplished, hold them back?" Gu Junwen read the last words of the bandit who fell to the ground and died, and he felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

"Back off! Back off!" Gu Junwen shouted suddenly, waving his arms vigorously. The chestnut horse under him also sensed the danger and kept raising its hooves and neighing.

Commanding the army is like commanding an arm. Once the military order is issued, the generals must obey. The army retreated as a whole and pushed forward quickly, but it was still a step too late.

Suddenly, there was a sound of landslides and cracking of the ground, and the ground shook and roared, and large pieces of earth and rocks poured down from the cliff. The rumbling sound of war drums sounded, and a row of shadowy figures emerged on the cliff.

There was only a piercing whistle, and huge rocks fell from the sky. People fell to their knees, horses neighed, war drums thundered, mixed with the shouts and wails of soldiers, and the laughter of bandits. Everything was silent under the sound of huge rocks hitting the ground.

"Host, be careful." Gu Junwen flexibly steeds the chestnut horse, dashing left and right, narrowly avoiding falling rocks. System 101 is terrified, "Host, what are you going to do?"

It didn't understand. The host was clearly standing at the exit of the mountain, but suddenly turned the horse's head and headed straight into the mountain road.

"I said I want to complete the mission, do you believe me?" Just as Gu Junwen finished answering, there was a sudden loud noise in her ears, and she was knocked off her horse. Dust flew in front of her, and she quickly rolled sideways to avoid the flying stones.

"Host, be careful!" System 101 almost uttered a dolphin sound. When the dust and fog cleared, it could see the direction Gu Junwen was heading. There was a person huddled there. The person was very calm, leading a snow-white horse.

"When you meet someone after three days, you should look at him with new eyes. I never thought, host, that in my lifetime, I would actually see you taking the initiative to complete tasks. Don't worry, after such an operation, the male lead will definitely be attracted to you." 101 immediately took a screenshot manually to record this historic moment.

Obviously, Ye Nanyiyi also thought so: I didn’t expect that Gu Junwen loved me so deeply that he was willing to go into danger to save me.

He quietly looked at Gu Junwen who was standing in front of him. Seeing her disheveled appearance covered in dust and scratches, he felt itchy in his heart.

"Host, host!" 101, who was doubting the host's identity, played the BGM and called Gu Junwen several times in a hurry. Just when it suspected that the communication signal between it and the host was cut off, Gu Junwen's earth-shattering and soul-stirring wails broke out in its mind.

"Everything, everything, I was scared to death! I was scared to death! Fortunately, I survived, God bless me." 101 was forced to listen to his host's neurotic mumbling, and he felt something was weird.

"Host."

"What's wrong?"

"If you were so scared, why did you come back to save the hero?"

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Just as System 101 was preparing to record the touching words, Gu Junwen spoke:

"What do you mean by saving the hero? Ye Nanyi? Does he still need saving?"

"Then why do you..."

"You don't even know this?" Gu Junwen patted his chest with lingering fear, took a few deep breaths, and answered slowly, "After all, I have read countless novels. The hero is born with a bug and an immortal aura. Following the hero, it's hard to die. I'm not familiar with the address here, so of course it's safer to follow the hero."

Looking at its heartless and foolishly happy host, and then looking at the male protagonist who was immersed in self-admiration, System 101 could only sigh and silently turn off the microphone.

"Your Highness, there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Gu Junwen, who had recovered from her shock, became bolder. She moved closer to Ye Nanyiyi and made jokes with a playful smile.

However, Ye Nanyi, who had his own filter, was very cooperative: "Let me tell you the bad news first."

"The bad news is that the rocks have broken the mountain road, and the two of us are trapped here. We can't contact the outside world for the time being."

"What about the good news?"

"The good news is there's no worse news."

Ye Nanyi: ...

System 101: …

"What good news is this!" System 101 was so angry that it went online. It jumped up and down and cursed, then angrily retreated back into the system space.

"Ahem, there is actually another way." Gu Junwen coughed twice to cover up the fact that he was shocked by his own joke. "This place is not far from Tanzhou in a straight line. We can go over the mountain and maybe we can meet up with the main force in the village at the foot of the mountain."

"We can't just sit there and wait for death. This is the only way for now."
