Chapter 544: Ancient Road



The night is as dark as water.

There was fog rising from the ancient road.

The birds have already returned to their nests, and only tigers and wolves can be heard roaring occasionally in the mountains.

A mountain division of 3,000 people, led by Peng Yuyan, galloped along the Jinniu Ancient Road.

At the same time, Hongniangzi was leading 130,000 vanguard troops on the Jinniu Ancient Road, leaving only 20,000 people to guard Qipan Pass and wait for the arrival of the rear army.

The ancient road that had been silent for hundreds of years seemed to be gradually waking up. The fog in the mountains and forests became thicker and thicker, and it diffused on the ancient road. As a result, the ancient road was gradually obscured. If you look down from the sky, it is difficult to tell whether this is a road or an unfathomable canyon.

The Third Brigade of the Divine Sword also ran on the Jinniu Ancient Road.

At this moment, they have entered the Qinling Mountains. The mountain road is bumpy and it is difficult for the horses to move forward. Su Mo decided to abandon the horse. They are all martial arts masters. Although flying will waste a lot of internal energy, the speed of moving forward will be much faster.

This is really hard for Fu Xiaoguan.

Our Lord Fu usually doesn't work hard, and he was suddenly sad at this moment - he had very little rest along the way, and he didn't even have dinner.

What Su Mo said certainly made sense, and there was no way he would object for his own sake.

There are tens of thousands of lives on the front line. If we can arrive earlier, we can kill more enemies and relieve some of the pressure on the front line.

What else can I do?

It was too embarrassing to ask the eldest senior brother to carry him, so Master Fu could only try his best to fly while chewing on dry food... His lightness skill was the worst among all the people here, even though he was the junior uncle of this group of Taoist disciples.

In a short while, he fell to the back of the team. Others could jump several feet away with one jump, but he could jump with one jump... Xu Xinyan's face turned red. It was almost the same as a rabbit jumping.

Wouldn't this guy kill his teammates when he goes to war?

Xu Xinyan also slowed down and stayed by his side.

Senior Brother Su Jue flew back, and Fu Xiaoguan waved his hand, "You and Su Mo lead the team first. I really can't do it anymore, so I'll arrive later."

"I'll stay."

Fu Xiaoguan sat down on the ground and said, "No, you are the only one who has reached the Saint level. The Moon Worship Sect must have masters. The road is so narrow. They can't get through if it's blocked in front. I'm safe behind you, and Xinyan is by my side."

When Su Jue heard this, he realized that this was the truth, so he stopped worrying about it, turned around and disappeared in a flash.

Fu Xiaoguan felt comfortable, but his buttocks felt a little cold.

"Ah... it's really easy to go from frugality to extravagance. Back then, I was a great guy traveling through the mountains and wilderness. It's only been two years, and I seem to be useless!"

Xu Xinyan glanced at him and thought, are you the only awesome guy who traveled through the mountains?

You probably don’t know what a great person looks like!

"I think... you should spend more time practicing martial arts."

Fu Xiaoguan rubbed his sore thigh and shook his head. "Speaking of diligence, I'm at least more diligent than Susu. I get up before dawn to practice meditation, but Susu eats and becomes a top-notch expert... Am I not eating enough?"

Xu Xinyan chuckled, "Miss Susu is naturally very talented, but you only saw her eating and didn't see her practicing martial arts... But you seem to be very pressed for time. Are matters at court really that important?"

"I'm just being nosy. Sigh... I've always thought that since I'm here, I should do what I can for the people of this world. But this is also for myself."

Xu Xinyan sat next to Fu Xiaoguan. She did not notice that Fu Xiaoguan had his hand in his sleeve, holding the gun.

She gazed at the dark green mountains and asked, "Do you just want to be promoted to a higher position?"

"no."

"What's that for?" She turned around and looked at Fu Xiaoguan, who chuckled, "Now that the world is peaceful and everyone's life is better, I will go back to Linjiang and be my small landlord."

Xu Xinyan's eyes widened in disbelief.

"You work so hard... just to become a small landlord?"

"Are you surprised? Let me tell you, being a small landlord is better than anything else. I have food, clothes, money, and provisions. I can sleep until I wake up naturally and count money until my hands cramp. No music to disturb my ears, no paperwork to tire me out. This is the life I want."

Xu Xinyan's eyes gradually brightened, and she suddenly felt that this person was not as noble as she had imagined.

He just wants to make people's lives better and to bring peace to the world. Please don't disturb his comfortable life as a small landlord.

But his abilities were so great, could he possibly be a small landlord?

Xu Xinyan didn't know, but at this moment she hoped in her heart that he could realize this dream.

"Let's go, let's not drag it out too far."

"Yeah." Xu Xinyan supported him, and his hand gripped the gun tighter.

Wei Wubing was also running on the Jinniu Ancient Road.

His heart was filled with joy because the Excalibur Special Forces had arrived, and also because his fiancée Juan'er not only did not stop him, but instead gave him some encouragement.

"Don't worry about home. I'll often go over to help Auntie with some things. Go to the war without worry, and don't come back until you've earned the rank of general. I'll be waiting for you, waiting for the day you return triumphantly!"

He has martial arts skills, at least at the second-rate level. He is the most powerful hunter in Weijiapu except for his father. Now, he is going to join the army and become a hunter!

He ran very fast, getting closer and closer to Fu Xiaoguan. He didn't know that his sister had also stepped onto the Jinniu Ancient Road.

Wei Xianghan was looking at Zong Shiji and giggling at this moment.

"You insisted on coming, but you couldn't walk a few steps and you're already exhausted. Why would you go through this or suffer this when you could take the Enke or the Qiuwei exams?"

Zong Shiji held his waist, panting and swallowing his saliva. "My lord, you are the best writer in the world. He is here, and he is not afraid of this hardship. Why should I be afraid? Let's go, keep going. I will crawl to the Divine Sword Army!"

Wei Xianghan bit her lip and looked at Zong Shiji, who was exhausted like a dog, with a sly smile on her face. Her eyes were full of joy. She just liked his stubborn look!

"How about...I carry you?"

"How can I let a little girl like you carry a real man on my back? A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Let's go, it's only a thousand miles!"

"Hey, their horses are parked here. How about I go get one and you can ride away?"

"No, this is a horse from the Excalibur Army. Let's not make the wrong move."

Before he finished speaking, a voice came from behind him: "I didn't realize that you are a person of good character."

"Clang...!" Wei Xianghan drew her sword, her eyebrows furrowed. "Who's coming?"

Huo Huaijin laughed while carrying his spear, "Don't you want to find the Excalibur Army? Me too."

"really?"

"How could this be fake?"

Zong Shiji clasped his fists and bowed, "Brave man, do you know the leader of the Divine Sword Army?"

"I know him, he's my buddy, let's go."

Zong Shiji felt uncomfortable because the leader of the Divine Sword Army was a minor official!

How dare you say you are my buddy...

"Brave man, let's not brag and talk nicely, okay?"
