Chapter 1240 (1/2)

Zhou Dacheng and Nangong Yue set the time and left happily.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and it was quiet outside the post station, and the soldiers who had camped outside seemed to rest.

After days of heavy traffic, nangongyue fell asleep quickly. However, Zhou Dacheng was so excited that he didn't sleep in the middle of the night. Before dawn the next day, he took Mo Xiuyu to wait for nangongyue. Looking at Zhou Dacheng's energetic appearance, Baihui and thrushi can't see that he didn't have a good rest last night.

After breakfast, nangongyue, Zhou Dacheng and Mo Xiuyu took several guards from the royal palace with them. They rode all the way to the southeast. After they left, the camp in the rear almost exploded? ”It's not very impressive, either.” The tall and thin soldier called Lao Chen said indignantly.

”That's it.” ”We are going to yandingcheng to deliver medicine, but we are not going to accompany the young man to visit mountains and rivers,” the short soldier beside him said

Old Chen sighed: ”I used to think that Lord Zhou was loyal to shiziye, and he was also straightforward and magnanimous. He was a man of iron and steel. Now it seems that he is not. As the old saying goes, it's better to know people's faces but not their hearts. It takes a long time to see people's hearts and minds. ”

”Yes. In addition, Mo Xiaowei is also so popular. ” Another two soldiers on the side also joined in, and one sarcastically said, ”in my opinion, I'm afraid there are still some troubles along the way...”

”We are just small soldiers, where can we control the top...”

”Since there is rest, rest is it.”

“……”

The soldiers got together in twos and threes and whispered to each other. Naturally, these trivial gossips could not reach Nangong Yue. They were galloping all the way according to the map drawn by Yi Cheng. Small ash flies in the air, following them for a while, and then flies in front of them.

Naturally, the mine did not happen to be on the edge of the official road, so people could only choose those paths, one passing through a small forest, another leaping over a stream, and another bypassing a field

The road was tortuous, and the speed of the horses was naturally limited.

About half an hour later, there was a small slope full of weeds and shrubs. At the end of the slope, a continuous mountain range could be seen.

Zhou Dacheng slowly dismounted, and so did the others.

Lily couldn't wait to point to the mountain ahead and said, ”is that mine over there?”

Zhou Dacheng looked at the wrinkled map in his hand, nodded and pointed to one of the mountains in front of him and said, ”it should be the mountain to the south. There is a village nearby. It must not be difficult to find...”

Xiao Hui made a loud and clear cry in the air and flew straight ahead. Look at the direction that Zhou Dacheng pointed to just now.

Seeing this, Baihui and Lily couldn't help but exchange a look, and were delighted.

Judging from the appearance of Xiaohui, nine times out of ten, the ore it brought back yesterday may have come from the abandoned copper mine.

”Drive!”

The party continued to gallop their horses and their hooves flew.

After driving through the small slope, the mountain ahead is getting closer and clearer. After a moment, Lily pointed to the front excitedly and called out: ”the village is here!”

When the village arrives, it is the mine!

She was about to rush to the front of her horse's stomach, but was stopped by several voices at the same time: ”wait a minute!”

The voices of nangongyue, Zhou Dacheng and Mo Xiuyu overlap. They look at each other and immediately understand that they are talking about the same thing.

However, they stopped lily, but there was no time to stop Xiaohui.

Xiaohui had already spread his wings and rushed to the village. He was in the air, shouting and circling, scaring away all the birds that had stopped in the trees.

”Quack -- quack --”

those black crows, which were as black as ink, let out their coarse calls and beat their wings and flew away in confusion.

Seeing so many crows gathered here, Lily realized that something was wrong.

Since ancient times, crows have been regarded as ominous signs, not only because of their uncomfortable appearance and sound, but also because they often appear in places that represent death. In the final analysis, crows eat rotten meat.

There are so many crows gathered at the entrance of this village. Is it possible that the dead people are doing funerals?

Lily speculated in his mind, but immediately overturned the conjecture.
