Outside Yizhou City.

After chatting for a while, Zi Yan already knew the names of the four hidden guards who followed Silver Eyes.

Baili Hanmo, Gong Yongsi, Chu Shi, He Hongcai...

Zi Yan has a very strong memory, and she quickly remembered these names.

But for a while, there were still some mismatches.

"Are the four of you from Banzhou?" Zi Yan asked.

Since it was all brought about by Silver Eyes, it must have passed Silver Eyes' test and gained his trust.

Ziyan has always been suspicious of people who don't use it, but don't trust people who use it.

She did not question these four people because it was a sign of distrust towards Silver Eyes.

Silver Eyes can be trusted, that's for sure.

"Sir, we are all from Banshu, but we were not from the same place before."

It was He Hongcai who answered.

He Hongcai is the most bookish among the four.

"No wonder you guys speak with different accents."

Zi Yan smiled and made a gesture while talking.

The guards followed her gesture and pulled out the war horses from the nearby woods.

All their horses were shipped from Zhuque County, and they were all typical northern horses.

The horses Silver Eyes and the others rode were from the southwest. They were not as tall and majestic as the horses from the north, but they had full endurance.

"Can you recognize the accents of the four of us?"

He Hongcai and others were surprised.

"He Hongcai, are you from Mingxi County, Bozhou? Baili Hanmo is from Baita County, Bozhou? Gong Yongsi is from Xining, and Chu Shi is from Dongning... right?"

Zi Yan smiled.

He Hongcai and others looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

You know, when they first saw Zi Yan, they couldn't help but feel a little contempt in their hearts when they saw her young and handsome face.

But now after having such a conversation with Zi Yan, they realized that the adult who came this time was a capable person, and at least he didn't look down upon Bozhou.

"Your Majesty is right. We are all from Bozhou, but there are differences in places." He Hongcai and others said.

"Let's go, let's set off first and wait until we get to the foot of the mountain before we talk."

Zi Yan glanced at the sky.

Everyone got on their horses and galloped away.

Two hours later, they arrived in front of a manor.

At this time, it was already noon.

"There's no rush to go into the mountain just yet. Let's go have a meal first and then go up the mountain in no time."

Silver eyes looked at Zi Yan.

"Okay, let's eat before we leave."

Zi Yan nodded.

This manor is also Yinwei's property. It is currently under Silver Eyes' name and is managed by him.

Entering the manor, Yinyan took the guards, He Hongcai and others to a banquet, while Ziyan entered the room alone to rest.

When she entered the room, the first thing she did was wash off the disguise on her face and put on a women's robe suitable for women. At this point, she didn't need to cover up too much.

After all, the change of appearance should not take too long, and various paints are not good for the skin. She also has to control her voice. It is not a special situation, but it is not worth doing.

After Yin Yan and others had eaten and drank enough, when they saw Zi Yan again, their eyes all widened.

Except for the few personal guards who knew Zi Yan's true identity, Yin Yan, He Hongcai and others couldn't help but rub their eyes, for fear that they would be dazzled by drinking too much.

It wasn't until they confirmed it that they felt emotional.

They didn't show any signs of neglect, but admired Zi Yan even more.

Being able to disguise himself like that so that they didn't notice it shows how smart this Master Zi Yan is.

The strong must be respected. On this basis, it no longer matters whether they are male or female.

"Where's Yang Weiqing? Didn't he set off a step early?"

Zi Yan fixed the fire blunderbuss, softened the sword, and asked.

"He went to the mountains first. News came from over there that the killers have already left. Gu Xiuzhuang and Feng Changshenghui are waiting in front to greet us."

Silver Eyes said.

"Okay, let's get ready to go into the mountains."

Zi Yan didn't feel anything at all, but the guards were a little disappointed.

They also thought that there would be a great war, and as long as there was a battle to fight, they would be able to take credit.

As a soldier, they definitely don't want to be a soldier all the time. They also want to make achievements.

"Don't let down your guard. I think there are many problems here, and you may encounter danger at any time."

Zi Yan shouted so that everyone could hear.

The identities of those killers have not yet been ascertained, their origins are unknown, and the reasons for their retreat are unknown. It can be said that the indigenous people are now blind and do not know anything.

In this case, the risk of going up the mountain to contact people is greatly increased.

"Is this road we are taking the road to Gujiazhai?"

Zi Yan asked.

They had left their horses at the manor, and now she was riding in a mule cart.

The mountain where the indigenous people live is called Shiwandashan.

The continuous mountains in the southwest are included.

No one can truly climb the Hundred Thousand Mountains and head to the west, so when the Southern Dynasty was at its peak, the territory could only reach the edge of the mountains.

Hundreds of thousands of mountains blocked the pace of the Southern Dynasties' westward expedition.

"Yes, sir, after climbing over a mountain, we can reach Gujiazhai."

The one who spoke was Gu Xiuzhuang sitting in front.

The others were sitting on different mule carriages, and only Gu Xiuzhuang was following Zi Yan.

This is of course what Zi Yan requires.

When she spoke to Gu Xiuzhuang, she only used her normal voice, but when speaking to other people, she needed to raise her voice.

The mountain wind was very strong, and from a distance, the voices sounded like the sound of lakes and lakes to my ears.

"This place has a dangerous terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. No wonder Wan Yiren didn't send troops to attack this place."

Zi Yan's military quality is not bad either. She was not idle along the way, and she observed the surrounding terrain and scenery while driving by mule and cart.

"They had attacked before, but in the end they suffered heavy losses and had to give up."

The ancient and powerful way.

The fact that the indigenous people can still survive in the mountains depends naturally not on the compassion of others, but on their own strength.

With their current strength, they cannot attack if they want to, but they are more than enough to defend inside the mountains.

In this kind of terrain, if tens of thousands of troops enter the mountain, they may all be swallowed up.

"How did those killers break in?"

Zi Yan asked.

"They didn't go to the main stronghold, but to the nearby strongholds on the hills. Those places were lax and they were not discovered in time. In addition, those killers were not many in number, but they were all very skilled. Ordinary soldiers could not stop them, and they were waiting for our team.

When we arrived, they retreated early."

Gu Xiuzhuang sighed.

"Are those killers unharmed?" Zi Yan asked.

"That's not true. The killers are still injured. Our soldiers fought hard and left three killers behind, but they are all dead now. In this way, we didn't catch a single one alive."
