After the house was confiscated, I relied on billions of dollars in supplies to become a group favor

Chapter 182 Detours
Due to the tight time limit, they could not delay any longer and had to continue their journey the next day, leaving them only one night to remember their dead relatives.

That night, Li Jiang gathered a group of officials and Ruan He and his wife to discuss the next route.

Regarding the next route, Li Jiang did not dare to make an easy decision. After all, there were always people who wanted to kill them along the way. This mudslide was a huge conspiracy. There was no danger hidden behind it. They had no idea. known.

Lao Jiu brought a map, laid it out according to Li Jiang's instructions, and placed it on the ground. He said: "The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. We must act with caution. We have to pass through on the next road." There are too many dangers hidden in the mountains and forests, and it is not as stable as the official road."

Li Jiang has been thinking about this for a whole day and has been thinking about a suitable solution.

So he gathered everyone together, hoping to listen to everyone's ideas and brainstorm ideas.

The officials, who were usually chattering and chattering, now seemed to be mute and couldn't hold back a word for a long time.

They really don't know much about the nearby terrain, and they don't dare to draw conclusions. If something goes wrong, it will be a life-threatening matter!

Li Jiang actually didn't have much hope for this group of rough guys. He looked at the map seriously and then asked: "General Mu, Miss Mu, do you have any ideas?"

Ruan He shook his head slightly, his delicate eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and said helplessly: "We have no idea where they will set up traps and ambush, so now no matter which way we go, we will be blind."

Mu Yunxiao looked around with a calm gaze, which inexplicably gave people a sense of oppression, and said slowly: "Someone needs to explore the way."

Exploring the path is not a good job. After all, the front is full of dangers, and those who go ahead to explore the path may die at any time.

The method proposed by Mu Yunxiao was not difficult to think of, but the difficulty was that no one actually proposed it. After all, the people sent to explore the path were living targets.

Li Jiang also nodded when he heard this, and it was his responsibility as the leader of the official officials to decide how to send them out.

Although the officials and servants around were all rough and tumble, they were not fools and they all understood what Mu Yunxiao said.

After a long silence, an official quietly raised his arm and said, "I'll go."

He has neither father nor mother, and is concerned about life and death. As an official, he is just making ends meet.Mr. Li treats him well, and he doesn't become a white-eyed wolf.

Moreover, if there was no one to explore the way, if such a large group of them walked over recklessly, it was very likely that they would all be wiped out.

Someone got up, and a few officials took over this dangerous job, so there were four people in total.

Li Jiang agreed with these four courageous officials one by one, and said with a serious look: "After arriving at the exile, I will report your merits to my superiors."

Dry food was prepared for these four officials, horses were prepared for them, and they were allowed to set off overnight.

“Pay attention to safety along the way and remember to mark the route along the way. If there is no problem with the route, then turn back and mark.”

Before setting off, Li Jiang looked at the four officials with a serious expression and gave an instruction.

The four officials who set out on this trip were all young, and each of them did not seem to be on a dangerous road. They chatted happily and only restrained themselves a little in front of the boss.

"Okay, let's pack up, rest for the night, and set off tomorrow."...

On the second day, at dawn, their exile team set off immediately. According to the instructions on the map, they had to climb over this hill first.

Although the four scouts were joking on the surface, they were quite cautious in their work.

Not long after the exile team walked out, they saw the marks they left on the ground.

According to the previous instructions, they used torches to burn a shallow black scar on the ground or tree trunks in advance to facilitate the identification of the exile team behind them.

They had agreed on this mark in advance last night. The mountains and forests were rainy and windy. If they left other marks, they would be easily carried away by the wind and rain. Such marks would be more secure and would not damage the local environment.

They were walking in the dense forest filled with dense fog, and could still hear the chirping of birds, animals, and insects in their ears. But when they looked a little further into the distance, it was hazy and they couldn't see clearly what the road ahead was like.

Fortunately, they had already sent people to explore the path in advance. Otherwise, in such a dense forest, if there were any traps left by someone, they would really have nothing to do.

None of the prisoners knew that yesterday's mudslide was man-made, so the officials naturally concealed it. Telling it would only cause panic and have no effect.

Wang Xiaoer walked in front, carefully looking for marks along the way. Only when he found the place marked by the marks would he move forward, otherwise he would not dare to act rashly.

In a place like this, if someone really sets an ambush, it will be difficult for them to resist, so they must proceed with caution.

When he reached an iron cable bridge, Wang Xiaoer suddenly stopped and at the same time waved to the people behind him not to go any further.

Li Jiang also realized that Wang Xiaoer must have discovered something, so he stepped forward and stood beside Wang Xiaoer.

"Boss...there's something wrong with this road."

Wang Xiaoer pointed to the narrow and short chain bridge not far away and said: "We have been walking along this road for a while, and we haven't seen a single mark. This means that something is wrong with this road and we cannot walk on it." ! Especially, look over there, if it was safe to go on the bridge, they would definitely leave a mark at the end of the bridge, but now I don’t see a single broken mark!”

His words made sense. Li Jiang nodded slightly and looked in the direction he pointed. Indeed, he did not see a single mark wherever he could see.

Judging from the marks they saw along the way, a mark would appear every few steps. Now they walked for a while without seeing a mark. This was very wrong!

Li Jiang was already anxious because he couldn't see the mark. If this road hadn't been clearly marked on the map, he would have taken another route long ago.

In this way, many strange things piled up, and for the safety of the exiled team, Li Jiang had to issue an order.

"Go back first! Go back to the previous mark."

They returned to the last mark, took out the map again to plan, and tried another detour. After a few steps, they saw the mark, and then they felt relieved.
