After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 672 We accidentally entered

"fog?"

When Han Qiguang heard these words, he was stunned.

He turned around and looked at Xie Yuchuan, "What do you think?"

Just a while ago, they had just passed through a heavy fog, and now, a stranger suddenly appeared in front of them because of the heavy fog?

Xie Yuchuan and Han Qiguang thought of the same thing at the same time.

Xie Yuchuan looked at the young mountain dweller with deep eyes, "What kind of fog?"

"Yes, what kind of thing? Can you still remember it?" Han Qiguang asked.

"can!"

The young mountain dweller thought about his experience and said, "The elders in the village said that the deep mountains are where the mountain gods practice cultivation. It is a forbidden area. Normally, we are not allowed to hunt there. So I sneaked in. I was just curious. I didn't find anything strange along the way into the mountains. I walked deeper into the mountains without realizing it."

He slowed down, and under the gazes of Xie Yuchuan, Han Qiguang and others, he continued: "At first, it felt quite smooth to enter the mountain during the day, and I didn't feel there was any problem. But by the time I realized I couldn't get out, I was already trapped here."

Xie Yuchuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Trapped by the fog?"

“No.” The young mountain dweller shook his head. “It wasn’t at first. I just kept circling around here and couldn’t get out, no matter how many times I marked it. It was like something was covering my eyes. No matter how I turned, I would always go around in circles within this area. Later, I ran out of food and water. When I was dying, I felt a thick fog rising around me. I thought it was a dying hallucination until you walked out of the fog.”

Having said this, he turned his head left and right, still wondering in disbelief: "But I really don't know how I got here. This... doesn't seem to be outside the cave."

"Nonsense, there's only dirt all around here, it's nothing like outside the mountain." Wei Shi said helplessly in a rough voice.

His voice was originally rough, and he suddenly opened his mouth to shock the other person. Fortunately, the young mountain villager was not a timid person, and he just shrugged his shoulders.

Han Qiguang asked him, "Where are you from?" He pointed at the man's clothes and said, "Looking at your clothes, have you always lived in the mountains?"

The young mountain dweller nodded: "I was born and raised in the mountains."

"Have you ever been down the mountain? Do you know what the situation is like down there?"

Han Qiguang suddenly asked a completely unrelated question, which attracted Xie Yuchuan's attention.

But he did not interrupt Han Qiguang's deliberate questioning, as if he had guessed what he wanted to do in an instant.

The young mountain man looked at Han Qiguang, then looked up at him, and finally lowered his head to think for a while. He did not answer directly, but asked cautiously: "Where are you from?"

"Hey, this guy is very smart." Han Qiguang couldn't help laughing, turned around and glanced at the two people behind him and teased.

Xie Yuchuan lowered his eyes, and his already cold gaze instantly became more oppressive.

The young man couldn't help but shudder slightly, and stammered in fear: "We have been hiding in the mountains for many years. The village doesn't allow young people to go down the mountain to cause trouble."

The implication was that they wanted to know what was going on down the mountain, but he didn't know either.

But how could Xie Yuchuan and Han Qiguang, two smart men, possibly believe this answer?

Xie Yuchuan hesitated for a moment and said, "We are from Daliang Kyoto."

Han Qiguang stared at the mountain people with a smile and nodded, "That's right. What about you? Where were the people in your village from before they went into the mountains to escape the disaster?"

They both thought that after they finished talking, the other party would feel at ease and tell them the truth, but unexpectedly, the other party's reaction was completely different from what they expected.

After hearing what Xie Yuchuan and Han Qiguang said, the young mountain villager's expression did not relax, but became even more nervous. He looked at the two of them nervously, and even seemed to want to retreat.

Huh?
This reaction is not right!

"Which Daliang Kyoto?"

Xie Yuchuan: "..."

Han Qiguang: Huh?
The two of them looked at each other quickly and immediately grasped the key point. Han Qiguang's expression became more serious and he asked, "Daliang of Qi Yongliang, how come the people in your village are not citizens of Daliang?" After hearing this, the young mountain villager's face turned pale: !!!

Han Qiguang: ???

"You, you guys...you guys are from Daliang?!"

"Yeah, I don't know what the problem is here, aren't you?"

"How is it possible?!" The young mountain villager looked incredulous.

Han Qiguang laughed angrily, "How can it be impossible? Isn't this the Panlong Ridge in Yucheng? Didn't your ancestors tell you about it?"

The young mountaineer asked again with trembling lips: "Are you really alive? Have I starved to death? This light... and the clothes you are wearing are so strange."

Han Qiguang wanted to curse.

We have been together for a long time, why did you still think they were dead?

Just as he was about to speak, his shoulders sank.

Xie Yuchuan held his shoulder and said in a deep voice: "You are not from Daliang."

The young mountain man nodded vigorously.

Just when Xie Yuchuan wanted to ask the next question, the other party suddenly fell to his knees and kowtowed again!
Xie Yuchuan, Han Qiguang and others were speechless until the other party finally calmed down. Only then did they learn the real reason through a combination of kindness and force.

"But the Daliang Dynasty ceased to exist two hundred years ago!"

The young mountain people said so.

This time, this sentence was like a bolt from the blue, shocking Xie Yuchuan, Han Qiguang and others so much that they were speechless for a long time.

I do not know how long it has been.

At the bottom of the quiet mountain, Xie Yuchuan could be heard asking in a deep voice: "Then... which dynasty is it now, and who is in power?"

The young mountain dweller thought carefully about what the elders in the village had said, and said, "We are just mountain dwellers. We don't know who is in power down there. We just heard in the village that when our ancestors took their families and hid in the mountains, several families down there were fighting. It was very chaotic. Most of the people in the village died, and the remaining people had to flee to the mountains with their families. Now, we hear from people who occasionally come back from the mountains to exchange goods that the current emperor has passed away, and the town is collecting taxes from every household, and the people are having a hard time."

Xie Yuchuan and Han Qiguang thought they had misheard. Han Qiguang stood up, crossed his arms, took a deep breath, and said with emotion: "Yuheng, this is a bit weird. Is there something wrong with him or with our ears?" He took a deep breath, "Or is there something wrong with this place?"

Xie Yuchuan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Two hundred years."

Han Qiguang turned his head and looked down, confirming again, "Young man, please recall carefully, is the Daliang you mentioned really two hundred years ago?"

The young mountaineer nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

"Where were you lying before you saw the fog?"

"In the woods."

"Do you know where this is?"

"do not know."

“This is underground.”

The young mountaineer's expression changed again. He stammered twice and asked tremblingly, "Am I dead?"

Han Qiguang smiled, "That's not the case, but I guess you may have accidentally entered another place."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard Xie Yuchuan say beside him: "Maybe we accidentally got in."

Han Qiguang turned back and looked at him: "Huh?!!!"
