After crossing, I made the country in chaos

Chapter 284 Your Highness Has Fallen
Wuniu Mountain is nearly seventy miles away from the imperial capital. There is no official road, but a small road trodden by horses.When the weather is good, you can run a horse-drawn carriage. If it catches up with the rain and snow, two horses will be able to run side by side.

Moreover, Fang Gan knew that Wuniu Mountain had a dangerous terrain and many wild animals.The sons of the noble families in the imperial capital would not go here for hunting. Only the generals who really carried swords and straddled horses performed martial arts competitions, and they would go to Wuniu Mountain to compete.

This is not a fun place in the first place, Hua Yao and Ling Juehan went all day and midnight, what if something happened?
When they came to the foot of Wuniu Mountain, they didn't see the camp, which meant that Huayao and the others really didn't plan to stay overnight.There were fresh hoof marks and half-dried manure on the ground, but no people or horses.

There are only two situations in this case. One is that these people have already gone back; the other is that there are trails for horses in the mountains.

Fang Gan prefers the latter, because if Hua Yao and the others go back, he should meet him on the way.And there is no other way back to the imperial capital in Wuniu Mountain, and it is unlikely that Hua Yao will take people and horses to run out of the mountains and mountains.

"Hua Yao." Fang Gan shouted.

In the silence of the night, his shout can be heard far away, if Hua Yao or the guards are still nearby, they should be able to give an answer.

But there was no response for a long time, so Fang Gan had no choice but to walk into the woods along the path where the horse could walk.

At the beginning, it was easy to walk on a gentle slope, but gradually the forest became denser, and the horizontal branches blocked the eyes, making it inconvenient to ride a horse.

Fang Gan got off his horse and led the rein to walk in. After a while, he saw a group of horses tied to a nearby tree.And many of them bear the brand of the Princess Mansion, it seems that he found the right place.

But there are only horses and no people here, so it can be seen that people have gone into the mountains.Wuniu Mountain has a radius of tens of miles, and it will take half a day at the fastest to turn from the front mountain to the back mountain. Where can dozens of people go to find it in the mountains?
What's more, it's night now, and it's dangerous for Fang Gan to be trapped in the mountains alone. He can't lose himself in a rush.

Fang Gan thought for a long time, and finally, with the heart of giving it a try, he found an old horse with the seal of the Princess Mansion, untied the rein and let the horse run by itself.

It is said that "the old horse knows the way", and the old horse recognizes the Lord when he is spiritual.Fang Gan hoped that the horse would have a deep relationship with its owner, so that he could follow the smell to find the owner, and it would be easy to find even one person.

While the horse was still wandering around, Fang Gan took off his soft armor and helmet, and hung them on the saddle.The belt around the waist was tightened again, the cuffs and neckline were all tied up, ready to go into battle lightly.

After finishing everything, the old horse was already walking up the mountain, and Fang Gan raised his sword and followed behind.

Finally, a bright light appeared in front of it, which looked like a torch but didn't quite look like it. It smelled of pine oil after a careful sniff.

Fang Gan didn't follow the horse any more, he jumped onto a tree with his breath, and carefully made a detour to see what was going on.

When I got closer, I saw that it was a small cliff, and the sound of water came from below.A dozen or so people surrounded the cliff, some were holding torches, some seemed to be holding ropes.Fang Gan knew several of them, they were the guards who accompanied Huayao to Guanzhou.

"Daming." Fang Gan called one of them by name, jumped off the tree and ran over.

"Mr. Fang." Feng Daming looked up and saw Fang Gan, hope flashed in his eyes, but he said anxiously, "Your Highness fell, and he hasn't recovered yet."

Fang Gan's head buzzed, and he hurried to the edge of the cliff to look down.

But it was dark at night, and we could only see the slow movement of many torches dotted below, but nothing else could be seen.
