Chapter 327 The Leader

It took more than a day for Li Xiang to overcome the plateau hypoxia. They are all very powerful. If it were ordinary people, it would take at least three to five days. Time is urgent now, even if Li Xiang's If you still feel a little uncomfortable, you have to cheer up and move on.

Chieftain Maiqi's official village is more than 400 miles away from here. If it is in the plains, there is no need to rush for more than 400 miles. It is very likely that it can be reached in one day, and there is even time to spare, but here It is a plateau with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. If you think you can run there in one day, even if you can stand it, the animals will not be able to stand it.

In the 21st century, there were various roads into snowy areas, but now there are no roads. You can only take the paths in the world. In some places, you can run wildly, but in other places you may have to Put away all the war horses, and then you people slowly climb over. If you are not careful, both people and horses may fall off the cliff.

Thanks to the strength of these people, there is no loss. If ordinary troops come in, I don’t know how many people will die. No wonder it is so difficult for Tubo to enter the Central Plains. This place is more difficult for us to enter. , it is also more difficult for them to go out.

At night, the temperature is nearly twenty degrees lower than during the day. They can only rely on soju to maintain their own heat. There is no way to light a fire. If you light a fire at night, people nearby will quickly find you. Before meeting Chief Maiqi, Li Xiang could not let anyone see him to prevent his whereabouts from being exposed.

On the first day, Li Xiang and the others walked more than 170 miles, which was already the limit. Even businessmen who traveled frequently could only walk about one-third of the way in such an environment. Li Xiang It is quite difficult for these people to reach this level without any guide, just relying on a vague map. If you want to go faster, you can only fly over.

"who?"

In his sleep, Li Xiang suddenly heard a greeting from Long Qi. The others immediately took the serial crossbow in their hands. If they were sure that the other party was not one of ours, they would immediately shoot him. This is also to keep us An important way not to be leaked.

"May I ask if you are Mr. Li from the capital?"

Most people here speak Tibetan, and the number of people who speak Chinese can be said to be extremely rare. When I heard this, I was already half convinced. Moreover, Li Xiang also told everyone on the plateau that when he arrived on the plateau, he would call For Mr. Li.

With a look from Li Xiang, Hu Yi and Hu Er had already rushed out, and then they brought the boy over, and then the rest of them searched the area to prevent him from being followed.

"Sir, please forgive me. I have mercy on you. I am one of Cui Fu's subordinates. He sent me a letter before and asked me to wait for you here. I have been waiting for six or seven days."

The guy quickly took out a letter, and Li Xiang took it and looked at it. It was indeed Cui Fu's handwriting, and it also had the mark of the agreement with Li Xiang.

"We haven't exposed any whereabouts. Even if you are waiting for us here, you probably won't find us. How did you find us this late at night?"

Li San said with some doubt, and hoped that he could tell something useful from this kid's mouth. We can also improve in the future. It doesn't matter if our own people find out today, but if the enemy finds out tomorrow, they will probably be involved in a war. After a hard fight, we people are not afraid of fighting, but we are afraid of complicating Li Xiang.

"To answer this question, I actually don't know you are here. At night, I'm afraid you'll go there, so I often walk around on the nearby roads. I usually go out for a walk every two hours. Who knows? I just stretched out my legs from above and you discovered me. It would be more accurate to say that I discovered you than you discovered me."

This guy is right. There are usually no people on this road, mainly because this road is too steep. There is indeed a main road next to it, but Li Xiang and the others cannot take the main road. After this guy received Cui Fu's letter, he traveled day and night. While guarding this road, the word the other party said was also spoken in Chinese, so he guessed that it should be Mr. Li from the capital. If not, he would have a chance to escape from the side. Such a person Living on the plateau was not a problem for him.

Li Xiang followed him to the hillside and took a look. Sure enough, there were several ropes tied here. Next to the ropes was an abyss. If he called the wrong person, he immediately climbed down along the ropes, and the ropes were soaked. Oil, once someone wants to climb down the rope, he only needs to light the rope on fire below. It can be said that he is fully prepared and will not let anyone follow him.

"You're quite smart, what did Cui Fu tell you to do?"

Li Xiang threw a piece of dried meat to the boy. It seemed that the boy was also very hungry.

"Uncle Fu said, let me wait for you here. He said he would give me fifty cents a day. He didn't say what he wanted me to do. He just said that I would find a way to do the work you asked me to do."

This guy is quite honest. He lives on the plateau and works as a follower in the Cui family's business. However, he often travels to various tribes to deliver messages, so he knows the surrounding situation better and knows the shortcuts. Cui Fu asked him to take him there. Push it out.

"I'll give you a hundred cents a day, as long as you do things for me properly. How far is it from here to Chieftain Maiqi's official village?"

Hearing that Li Xiang could double his salary, this guy was obviously very happy, but when he heard that he was going to Mai Qi Tusi's official village, this guy's head immediately started shaking.

"Master, we can't go. There's a war going on over there. Let alone us Han people. Even their own people kill people casually. As long as you appear near the battlefield, both sides will regard you as the other's spy. No. If you ask 3721, you will kill someone."

The boy said while eating the jerky that although the Cui family was rich, he was the lowest servant in the Cui family. It would be nice to have a mouthful of brown rice, let alone such jerky.

"Don't be so verbose and answer my questions quickly, otherwise the money will be gone today."

As soon as Li Xiang said he had no money, the guy quickly counted on his fingers. It was close to the official village of Maiqi Tusi...
