Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 200 Entering the Mountain
The next day, outside the back door of Gu Jingnian's residence in Lianzhou City, Gao Changgan sat on the shaft of the cart, looked up at the high-walled courtyard, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Why don't you take us to live here?"

"You only know how to enjoy yourself." Lao Hei said, "It is definitely not safe."

After waiting for a while, Gu Jingnian and a beautiful woman came out holding a child, like a couple.

Gao Changgan and Lao Hei couldn't help but look at each other and whispered to each other.

"So beautiful, not inferior to the shopkeeper's."

"Prettier than the shopkeeper's."

Gao Changgan spoke his true feelings, mainly because he had known Feng Niang for too long and had long lost the ability to appreciate her beauty.

Lao Hei was much more objective and said, "The shopkeeper is better..."

He couldn't describe the charm that Feng Niang had more than Miao Chun Niang, so he could only say: "In short, the shopkeeper wins."

"But they have children."

"Well." Lao Hei said sullenly, "That means we lost."

Just as they were feeling sorry for Feng Niang, they turned around and saw Pei Nian escorting her out the back door, but was blocked by Gu Jingnian who raised his hand.

I couldn't hear clearly what Pei Nian and Gu Jingnian said, but I could see that both of them looked calm and distant.

Finally, Gu Jingnian raised his voice slightly and said, "I really don't trust you."

"Then I won't send you far away."

Pei Nian nodded slightly and closed the door.

Lao Hei saw this and whispered to Gao Changgan, "No matter what, Pei Jishi is out."

Gu Jingnian helped Miao Chunniang get on the carriage and said, "Let's go."

"drive."

The carriage moved slowly. Gu Jingnian lifted the curtain and looked back. Although he saw someone following in the distance, he didn't care.

After a while, he spoke to Miao Chunniang.

"If you decide to leave now, it's not too late."

Since Gu Jingnian decided to hand Lu Anran over to Feng Niang for resettlement, if Miao Chunniang wanted to go with him, her movements would inevitably be restricted and she would be closely watched as the most untrustworthy person.

Miao Chunniang also knew this and had no intention of leaving. She only whispered, "It doesn't matter if you don't trust me now. As time goes by, you will know that I really want to help you."

"It's not that I don't trust you, otherwise I wouldn't let you take care of the child, but you have your position."

“We are on the same page.”

"Maybe."

Gu Jingnian didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.

The carriage arrived at a dilapidated courtyard in the west of the city, but there was no one inside.

After everyone got off the carriage, Gao Changgan sat on the ground and started eating. He specifically asked for a large jar of sugar water, which was a precious item in Lianzhou City.

After gulping down the sugar water, Gao Changgan burped and said, "All right."

Gu Jingnian asked Miao Chunniang to carry the child forward.

Gao Changgan held Lao Hei's arm with one hand and Miao Chunniang's arm with the other.

"This is?"

"He will take you to a safe and private place until I return."

"What about you?" Miao Chunniang asked, "Where are you going? Can't you take us with you?"

"No."

During the conversation, the child in Miao Chunniang's arms suddenly burst into tears and stretched out his arms, wanting Gu Jingnian to hold him.

But her action was in vain.

Gu Jingnian took two steps back and said, "Go ahead."

"Wow!"

The child's crying disappeared in a moment, and the courtyard was empty, with only Gu Jingnian standing there alone.

He stood for a while, turned around, got on the carriage, and drove alone to find Yin Jinggeng.

On the way, he already missed his niece and companions, but he was still in a relaxed mood because he was doing his best to protect them.

After meeting Yin Jinggeng, there were more than ten people standing in the hall, all of them had extraordinary aura.

"Marquis Chengye is here."

"I have met His Highness."

Yin Jinggeng also knew what Gu Jingnian was going to do. The fact that an official was going to settle his family alone was actually a sign of distrust in him.

But he didn't care and didn't say much. He just took Gu Jingnian in his arms and said, "Everything is ready. Can you concentrate on your trip to Lianxi Mountain?"

"can."

"Okay, I won't say anything else. They can go with you."

As he spoke, Yin Jinggeng pointed at the dozen or so people standing in the hall.

When Gu Jingnian looked over, he first saw three familiar people: Bai Ji, You Yan, and Hao Pangshui. He couldn't help but be surprised.

Because he knew that Yin Jinggeng was now fighting drought and providing disaster relief, and there were many measures, but the core was actually water. Digging canals, digging deep wells, and even using supernatural powers to move clouds and bring rain, all of which were inseparable from these people who were good at controlling water. "Your Highness, it would be more helpful for them to stay with you. I don't need too many helpers."

"I naturally have people around me who can be used." Yin Jinggeng said, "General Bai is enough to control the water, and Pei Duwei is there to give advice. We are not short of talents. On the contrary, your trip to Lianxi Mountain is extremely dangerous, so you must have help."

Gu Jingnian was a little surprised to see him compare Pei Nian with Bai Yuze.

Before leaving, he had agreed with Pei Nian that when he came back, he would tell Yong Ting about Pei Nian's identity, so that she could make plans in this final time limit. As for Gu Jingnian's death in Lianxi Mountain, that would be fine.

In short, he was not the kind of person who would fuss around, so he didn't refuse Yin Jinggeng and set off with his men.

Including Gu Jingnian and Huo Bo, whom he brought specially, there were thirteen people in total.

Among them there are two Xiu people and three Fei people, who are specifically responsible for operating the flying cars.

Soon, a huge flying car carrying ten people and a lot of supplies took off into the air.

Gu Jingnian did not ride in a flying car, but instead spread his flaming wings and flew.

Also not riding the flying car was a winged man named Ji Xiangming; and there was also a petite woman named Youyou, who rode a giant owl beast.

The owl beast is not common and can only be found in the arid areas of the west. It looks like both a bird and a gecko, is hairless, has a protruding keel on its chest, has huge bat-like wings on its forelimbs, and strong hind limbs that allow it to run quickly on the ground.

Because the owl was so eye-catching, the petite woman sitting on its back seemed to have little presence.

For a long time, Gu Jingnian thought that the owl was Ji Xiangming's pet, until he turned around and saw Youyou.

"you are?"

"what!"

Youyou seemed to be frightened, let out a light cry, and swayed on the owl's back as if she was about to fall off.

Gu Jingnian didn't dare to talk to her anymore.

Ji Xiangming shouted, "Marquis Chengye, don't underestimate her. She is very powerful."

As a winged man, he didn't dare fly too close to Gu Jingnian, for fear of getting his wings burned.

"it is good."

After flying for a day, the flying car suddenly began to shake and they had to lower their altitude.

After barely flying for a while, they could see a mountain as high as the clouds in front of them. It looked like an upright hand, abruptly blocking the way of everyone.

There was snow halfway up the mountain, which was a source of water that Gu Jingnian had rarely seen in recent times.

"Here comes the water!"

You Yan stood on the flying car, stretched out his hand, and tried to squeeze water out of the air.

But he tried his best to use his special powers, causing the car to shake, but there was still no sign of water.

"It's too far!" Hao Pangshui shouted, "The snow mountain is actually still very far away from us."

You Yan finally gave up and fell down on the scooter, looking dejected.

His action almost made Gu Jingnian suspect that Yin Jinggeng sent him out because he was too useless.

"We are almost at the Lianxi Mountains. We can't fly over there anymore."

Ji Xiangming pointed to a small town at the foot of the mountain below and shouted, "Marquis Chengye, that's the only inhabited place before we enter the mountain. Shall we go there to rest for a night?"

"it is good."

It can be seen that the team is now decided by Gu Jingnian. He doesn't like these things very much, so he quickly agreed with Ji Xiangming's opinion.

"But there is one more thing." Ji Xiangming said, "Once we arrive in the town, we can't mention that we are sent by the court."

"Why?"

"Lian Xi Mountain is now a mixed bag with all kinds of people... It is no longer under the control of the imperial court."

Ji Xiangming hesitated for a moment halfway through his words.

If the situation wasn't difficult, he would not be willing to reveal the truth.

"Understood, let's go!"

The team descended, and the further they went, the more they felt that they were still far away from the towering peak of Lianxi Mountain.

Below is a valley with steep cliffs on both sides and a vast Gobi Desert to the east.

There were only a few dilapidated houses and countless tents in the valley.

There were all kinds of flying creatures and animals flying in the sky.

"Bang, bang!"

There were two loud noises, and two small, green-winged aliens crashed into the flying car and climbed up, shouting, "Grab the food! Hand over the food! Otherwise, I'll eat all of you mortals!"

Bai Ji snorted coldly and swung the long sword in his hand.

"Wow!"

The two flying green aliens were frightened and flew away immediately.

The next moment, a huge hand swept across from the sky, grabbed the flying car, and crashed it into the cliff at the edge of the valley.

Gu Jingnian looked and saw a giant squatting behind the valley with his mouth wide open, trying to eat the flying car in one bite.

Further away, the mountains and plains were filled with all kinds of strange people, more than he had ever seen in his life...
