Chapter 497: Infiltrating Xianyang (2)
Three days later, Gao Yuan and Zhang Liang agreed on the signal of the joint, and then set off separately from Daijun and headed for Qin, and the two of them did not take the same route.
Zhang Liang went directly south from Daijun, went out of Hongshangsai, passed through Zhaodi, and then turned westward, and entered Qin through Hangu Pass, which was also the usual route for eastern countries to enter Qin, and most of the areas along the road were populated villages and towns. Although Zhang Liang is not very old, he already has a lot of experience in traveling abroad, and he is good at hiding himself, and he has not been in Daijun for a long time, his reputation is not prominent, and there are not many people who know him in the Qin State, and he is not afraid of being inspected by the Chengguan along the way. So he disguised himself as a businessman and infiltrated Xianyang.
And the plateau is the supreme ruler of Daijun, and he fought with the Qin army in Wei for two years, even if there are not many Qin generals who have seen him, but he must have painted his head well, and turned all over the Qin country, although the plateau also made some makeup and changed his appearance, but it can not be guarded against, so the route of the plateau into Qin is from Daijun, all the way to the west, through Yanmen and Yunzhong, crossing the Yellow River, and then turning south, entering from the northern frontier of Qin, this area is less populated, mostly barren mountains and mountains, no one will inquire and ask, It is just right for the plateau, and the plateau has received strict training for wilderness survival in the past, and is not afraid of walking in the wild.
However, this time he infiltrated the Qin State alone, so after leaving Yunzhong County, the plateau did not take a car or ride a horse, but only on foot. And this time he traveled, he didn't even bring the saber and throwing knife he used to use. Because these two weapons have become the symbol of the plateau, if you bring these two weapons, it is tantamount to self-defeating.
But the plateau can not not bring weapons, so instead of a sword, although now the plateau has comprehended a set of knife techniques, but mainly take a light and flexible way, even if it is a sword, the difference is not big, and although the quality of the sword is not as good as the saber of the plateau, but it is also an iron sword after twenty dismantling and calcining, in this era, it has been regarded as a rare good sword.
In this era, the social atmosphere was more martial, and there were many ranger swordsmen, so it was very common to travel with a sword. In addition, Gao Yuan also specially made sixteen darts, the style is completely different from the flying knife he is used to, but it can also be used, after all, Gao Yuan can not give up the hidden weapon, and the size of the dart is small, and it is easy to hide and carry around.
So after the plateau left Yunzhong County, all the way to the west, after arriving at Jiuyuan, only to cross the Yellow River and turn southward, this area is the area of the border between northern Shaanxi and Mongolia in later generations, originally belonged to the residence of nomads such as Lin Hu and Lou Fu, and now it has become a buffer area between Qin and Zhao, which is basically barren mountains and mountains. Moreover, in this era, the ecological environment of this area has not been destroyed, and there are still large areas of primeval jungle, but there are few people, only some hunters or medicine makers leave traces occasionally, and there are often various wild beasts.
After walking for four or five days in a row, although he encountered several wild beasts such as bears, tigers and leopards along the way, the knowledge of plateau survival training allowed him to avoid these wild beasts, and nothing dangerous happened. The plateau estimated that he had almost walked more than 300 miles, and at this time it should be close to the Beidi County of the Qin State, and there were more and more people, and even the imprints of horses' hooves were found, indicating that it was getting closer and closer to the area where the population was concentrated. Therefore, Gao Yuan did not dare to be careless, and was cautious for fear of encountering the patrols of the Qin State.
This day to dusk, the plateau suddenly heard a few wolf howls in the woods, and at the same time someone made a scream, if it is just a wolf howl, the plateau can of course ignore it, but there are voices coming, the plateau can not be ignored, and the jungle is not a grassland, the number of wolves will not be very much, generally it is a dozen or twenty heads, the plateau is not afraid.
After burrowing into the woods, Gao Yuan rushed to the place where the sound came from, and walked a distance of more than 100 meters, only to see that in front of a stone wall, there were five or six gray wolves gnawing at a person lying on the ground. And on the surrounding boulders, there are still three or four gray wolves standing on the sidelines, and on the whole, the size of this wolf pack is not large, only about ten.
Although the movement of the plateau is very light, the wolf is a very sensitive animal, so it was immediately discovered by the wolves, only to see a gray wolf standing on a large rock let out a howl, and two gray wolves who were watching immediately jumped off the mountain rock and rushed towards the plateau.
Gao Yuan immediately pulled out his sword, and on one side of his body, he dodged the grasp of a gray wolf, the long sword was swung out, and the cold light flashed, and the gray wolf screamed, and the wolf blood spurted out like a spring, falling from the air, and died at that time.
Seeing this, the other gray wolf also howled angrily, his limbs rose into the air, and he also pounced towards the plateau, the plateau's figure was low, and he raised the sword above his head, and the gray wolf's abdomen was cut by the sword blade A hole more than two feet long, and a large amount of blood gushed out, but the plateau had jumped under the gray wolf's abdomen, and was not drenched in wolf blood.
After a while, both gray wolves were killed by the plateau, and the other gray wolves saw each other, and they all gave up biting the man and rushed towards the plateau.
Although he was facing several wolves, Gao Yuan was not afraid, and with a wave of his left hand, three darts shot out, piercing into the top door and eyes of a gray wolf, and the gray wolf screamed, his limbs weakened, and he fell to the ground.
And almost at the same time, the long sword in Gao Yuan's hand slashed out, slashing off half of the head of the other gray wolf, and then turned around suddenly, and another sword was slashed, and the erect neck of a gray wolf that attacked from behind him was cut, and he also died on the spot.
It didn't take long for the plateau to kill five gray wolves in a row, and they still seemed to be at ease, and the rest of the gray wolves also felt the power of the plateau, and retreated one after another, not daring to attack the plateau again, and in the green wolf eyes, they also showed a look of fear, obviously with the intention of retreating.
At this moment, I saw that the gray wolf standing on the boulder let out a long howl, jumped off the mountain rock, and forced towards the plateau, with a pair of green wolf eyes, staring at the plateau, emitting a ferocious light. And the other wolves also got out of the way, allowing this wolf to confront the plateau.
This wolf is obviously the head wolf of this group of wolves, although the size of this wolf pack is not large, but the obligations of the head wolf are no different from other wolf packs, now half of the members of this wolf pack are killed by the plateau, if you retreat at this time, then the head wolf will return to the ground among the remaining wolves, and the other wolves will no longer take it as the leader, either other wolves will challenge it and seize the position of the head wolf, or it is to break away from this wolf pack and join other wolf packs.
In either case, the head wolf will not have a good result, and the head wolf who loses in the challenge has only one way to die, and even if it can defeat the challenge wolf, it is difficult to keep the entire wolf pack, and after the other wolves break away, it becomes a lonely wolf. The wolf is a medium-sized beast, a social animal, it is difficult for a lone wolf to survive independently, not to mention that it can't beat large beasts such as bears, tigers and leopards, even if it encounters large herbivores such as deer and roe deer, it is difficult to win, so its only chance is to kill the plateau and prove to other wolves that it still has the ability to lead the pack of wolves.
Although this wolf is slightly larger than other wolves, Gao Yuan naturally will not be afraid of it, so he feels a little funny, so he also pointed his long sword at the head wolf, and suddenly a Ling Lie's strength forced the head wolf away.
Although the other wolves were scattered on both sides, they also felt a terrible pressure, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back, and the wolf was the first to bear it, and even felt the pressure of the press, and the wolf's eyes also showed a trace of fear, wanting to advance and retreat, and seemed to be a little hesitant.
And Gao Yuan let out a deep sigh, his body was vertical, and he took the initiative to rush towards the head wolf, and the long sword in his hand also turned into a cold light, stabbing straight at the head wolf.
Although the head wolf was a step slower, he also reacted immediately, kicked the ground with all fours, rose up, and pounced on the plateau, not only dodging the sword from the plateau, but also stretching out his two forelimbs and opening his mouth to bite the plateau.
At this moment, I saw Gao Yuan's left hand picked, and a cold light flew out from Gao Yuan's hand, shooting in from the open mouth of the head wolf, and at the same time, his body moved horizontally, avoiding the attack of the head wolf. The wolf let out a terrible scream, fell from the sky, and fell to the ground. When the other wolves saw this, they immediately scattered and fled, and in a short time they burrowed into the woods and disappeared completely.
Gao Yuan put away his sword at this time, and then got up to look at the person who was bitten by the wolf's neighing, but this person had died of anger, and even the corpse was bitten into a blur of flesh and blood, and he could only vaguely distinguish that this person was about forty years old, dressed in green clothes, with a cloth bag hanging on his body, and a bamboo bag on his back, which contained some plants, among which there were several kinds of plateau to know, which belonged to herbs, and near the corpse, there was an iron fork, a small hoe and a wooden box. There were still blood stains on the iron fork, apparently from a fight with the wolves. It seems that this person should be a Langzhong, when he went into the mountains to collect medicine, he encountered wolves, and when the plateau came to the rescue, he was a step too late, and he died in the wolf's mouth.
At this moment, Gao Yuan's heart suddenly moved, this time he infiltrated the Qin State as a ranger swordsman, but after entering Xianyang, it would be a little inconvenient to act as a ranger swordsman, and if he was a Lang Chinese medicine practitioner, it was naturally much more convenient than the identity of a ranger swordsman, because no matter in that era, doctors were more popular.
Although Gao Yuan has not studied medicine, he also knows some medical theories, because he has been trained in field first aid, and knows some common herbal medicines, and the medical level of this era is not very high, and Gao Yuan's medical skills can also cope with it. In addition, there is a talisman on the plateau, the last time Ling Feng was rescued, it proved that this talisman also has the ability to heal others, and in this era, there is not much difference between medicine and witchcraft, and many healers are actually witches, so it is completely feasible to pretend to be Langzhong.
