Chapter 658 Fubao: I am a lucky general!
All right!
Facing her stubborn second brother, Fubao knew that it was impossible for her to persuade him. So, she could only settle for the next best thing.
"Second brother, if you must take someone with you, then I have to go too!"
Fu Bao looked at Xu Lao Er seriously, "With me here, your luck will definitely not be too bad, second brother!"
As the koi carp and God's most beloved daughter, Fubao firmly believes that if she follows her second brother, she will definitely achieve her wish.
"no!"
After hearing Fubao's words, Xu Laoer refused without thinking.
"Little sister, this is not a joke, nor a joke!"
"I, your second brother, am going to war!"
"What's the point of taking you with me?"
Although he knew that his little sister was a lucky baby, this sudden attack on her was not a leisurely trip, but an act of risking his life at any time.
Knowing that his little sister is the treasure of the family, Xu Laoer naturally did not dare to take Fubao with him on any adventure.
If anything were to happen, Xu Laoer couldn't imagine the consequences.
"Brother, if you don't let me go, I will quietly follow you with my men once you leave."
"If I get lost in the woods, or if anything goes wrong, it will all be your fault, second brother!"
This statement is totally unreasonable.
When Xu Lao Er heard Fu Bao say this, he was dumbfounded. Is this really his little sister? His little sister is obviously a very reasonable person, why is she so unruly now?
"Second brother, don't even think about sending me back to Xiangyi Prefecture. I'm telling you, if you dare to have someone send me back to Xiangyi Prefecture, I'll run away from home as soon as I have time!"
In order to make this trip with his second brother, Fubao really worked hard.
All kinds of rogue and unreasonable behavior fully demonstrate what it means to be a disobedient naughty baby.
Xu Laoer looked at his younger sister in a daze, and finally had no choice but to compromise.
Damn it, if his little sister really ran away from home, he wouldn't be able to bear the blame. In this case, he could only choose the lesser of two evils.
After all, as long as Fubao is within his sight, nothing will go wrong.
Seeing his second brother compromise, Fubao was very happy.
She is a lucky girl!
Xu Laoer was well prepared, but he only had 5,000 soldiers with him to cross the mountains.
Five thousand men, armed with crossbows, swords and spears, rations on their backs, and water bags, marched into the mountains. Their goal was to cross the mountains and enter Jiannan Prefecture.
Jiannan Prefecture is located in the southwest of Daxia.
It is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
From ancient times to the present, there has been only one road leading into Jiannan Prefecture. Now, this only road leading into Jiannan Prefecture is controlled by the Jieyun Dao. Anyone who wants to enter Jiannan Prefecture must go through the Jieyun Dao's inspection.
The reason why Jieyundao chose Jiannan Prefecture to build the Human Dao Kingdom was because of the geographical advantages of this place.
The path Xu Laoer took this time was an unknown path, a path that passed through the vast mountains.
Xu Laoer was not sure whether this path really existed.
However, Bai Jin stated with confidence that this path really existed and that hunters had walked on it before.
Although Xu Laoer got the circuit map, he couldn't understand it at all.
Many of the reference points in the map drawn by the person who crossed this mountain range have now changed or no longer exist.
Of course, the most important reason was that the map that person had drawn was all based on his memories, and he himself was confused about some places.
Xu Laoer led 5,000 people into the mountains and moved forward according to the instructions on the map. From time to time, they would find marks left by scouts who had been arranged to confirm the correctness of the road.
But even so, the army's marching speed was still not fast enough.
It’s not that Xu Laoer doesn’t want to speed up, but the road is difficult to walk on.
Crossing mountains and hills is a common thing, and occasionally you have to build a bridge or cross a river, and from time to time you have to have close contact with wild animals in the mountains.
However, although the speed was not fast, no one was lost along the way.
The presence of Fubao, the lucky general, really brings good luck to the entire team.
"Little sister, are you okay?"
Xu Laoer glanced at Fubao who was following him and spoke with a smile.
After marching for several days, Lichun and Mother Cai, who came with Fubao, looked very tired and exhausted, but Fubao was always energetic.
But Xu Laoer felt that his younger sister was just forcing herself to be strong, a typical example of putting on a brave face.
"Second brother, are you no longer able to do it?"
When Fubao heard his second brother's question, he immediately asked a question in return.
When Xu Laoer heard Fubao's question, he didn't want to talk anymore.
How can he, a man, a grown man, say that he is not good enough?
Well, he wasn't incapable in the first place.
However, the team had to stop temporarily.
A turbulent river blocked the way, forcing Xu Laoer and the army to temporarily stop their advance.
"Yes, it's right here!"
According to the records on the route map, this fast-flowing river was where the lucky person who crossed the mountains from Qiping Prefecture to Jiannan Prefecture entered the water.
Then, he was washed far away by the current, until he reached a place where the current slowly became gentle. Only then did he climb onto the shore exhausted and avoid the deadly river water.
According to the route map left by the man, the place where he landed was where the water flow was calm.
"Follow the current and move downstream!"
Xu Laoer didn't waste any time and gave the order directly.
Following the route map left by the man, Xu Laoer and his group quickly found the location where the other party had arrived on the other side.
According to the records on the route map, the water flow was gentle where he came ashore, and there was a rocky beach on the other side of the river where huge hippos were active.
Hippopotamus, although not a violent beast, is not a kind little cat either.
Once this behemoth becomes ferocious, it can really kill people.
When Xu Laoer and his group arrived here, the first thing they saw was a huge group of hippos, numbering about thirty or forty.
"Prepare your platoons and cross the river!"
Hippos are indeed ferocious, but for Xu Laoer, these things are really no big deal.
However, just when Xu Laoer led his men to start making the raft, the herd of hippos on the opposite side of the river actually began to go into the water. In just a blink of an eye, this huge herd of hippos disappeared from everyone's sight without a trace.
Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, if they were to clash with a group of hippos, they would certainly win, but the losses would definitely not be small.
