Traveling Through the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: The Ming Zun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 550
After listening to Zhang Wuji's question, Wang Qiao replied: "It's natural. My father and son have lived by collecting firewood and hunting for two generations. There are hundreds of miles of mountains around here. When my father was alive, I walked with me. I am so familiar with it. But that's all."

Hearing this, Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min looked at each other.Immediately Zhang Wuji felt emotional in his heart. "Drowse meets the pillow".

Then Zhang Wuji asked: "Oh? If that's the case. I don't know Brother Wang, but do you know the Yinping path leading to Bashu?"

Hearing this, Wang Qiao was taken aback for a moment, but then said: "Yinping Xiaolu, this is just a legend."

After hearing this, Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min immediately looked disappointed.

I thought I could get some clues from Wang Qiao, a local who is familiar with the mountains and forests.

But I didn't expect that the path of this Yinping path was really not passed down.

"It seems that we can only attack Jianmen by force." Zhao Min complained helplessly.

"Jianmen Pass? Although there is no way to go around the city of Chengdu like in the legend of Shu, it is indeed possible to go around Jiange Road, but the road is somewhat steep. If Engong wants to go, I can take En Let’s go.”

After hearing Wang Qiao's words, the mood of the two of them was like a roller coaster, and they brought it up again.

Zhang Wuji said: "Really? Since I have an old relationship with Mrs. Zun, then I will not hide it from Brother Wang. I am the commander-in-chief of the Ming army. I will find a way that can quietly bypass the Jiange and enter Shu. Then I will attack Bashu .If Brother Wang really knows such a path, then it will be of great help to our army. When things are done, I will definitely reward Brother Wang.”

Wang Qiao said with a smile at this time: "What kind of words are you talking about? Your kindness is a great kindness to our family for saving Musha. It's just a small matter, so there's no need to talk about big rewards. Although I'm in the mountains I am a woodcutter, but before he died, my father told me that earning food with my own strength is the right way. So there is no need for rewards. Doing a favor to the benefactor can be regarded as helping the wife to repay the life-saving grace of the benefactor. "

Seeing the other party's humble resignation, Zhang Wuji no longer forced it.Although this Wang Qiao is a rural woodcutter, his speech and demeanor are not vulgar.And judging from his figure and the way he held a hatchet just now, he is also someone who has practiced martial arts for a few days.

And Wang Qiao's father is definitely not an ordinary person if he can say such a thing.Presumably Wang Qiao's parents were chivalrous men who retired to the Jianghu.Since the other party likes the life of Lin Quan, Zhang Wuji will not force the other party.

But after things are done, it is still appropriate to send them some money to make their lives a little richer.After all, it's easy to do things when you have money.

Zhang Wuji said: "Well, thank you, Brother Wang. It's still early, so I wonder if Brother Wang can take us to explore first. After all, our army is marching alone. If the army can't move, I don't need to order Qi Junma, let the army move."

Wang Qiao drank a bowl of wine, then wiped his mouth and said, "This is what it should be. Since this is the case, let's not delay. The road is also very long. Let's go now and be back before dark."

Zhang Wuji nodded, and then the two followed Wang Qiao to find the path that could lead to the back of the Jiange.

Wang Qiao and Zhang Wuji traveled through the forest for a long time.Although this road is messy and disorderly, it is very spacious.

Wang Qiao and Zhang Wuji cleaned up the debris in front, while Zhao Min looked around.

Zhao Min checked the surrounding stones at this time, although they were already covered with moss, and after years of wind and rain, they had become smooth, but Zhao Min still saw traces of people carving axes on the stones.

Zhao Min said at this time: "Brother Wuji, this road seems to be an ancient road. The stones here have traces of being carved, and they seem to be artificially opened."

Zhang Wuji cleaned up the dead trees around, and said, "It seems that this is the Yinping path that Deng Aiqi's soldiers walked through to destroy Shu!"

But Wang Qiao retorted at this time: "This is not true. When my father was alive, he took me through several times, and there were characters carved on some stones. I heard from my father that the characters were Qin Zhuan. My father said that this road is not It was Deng Ai's Yinping path to destroy Shu, but it was dug out when Sima of Qin State wrongly attacked Shu."

Both Zhang Wuji looked at Wang Qiao.Zhang Wuji saw that Wang Qiao's face was not red and he was not out of breath, and that he was breathing shallowly and luckily when he was exerting force. He then asked: "Brother Wang, I don't know who your father was. He is not only knowledgeable, but also martial arts Difference."

Wang Qiao moved away the dead wood around him, opened the way with a machete, and said: "My father is a woodcutter, and he is not an expert. But I heard from my father that he also spent a few years in the rivers and lakes in his early years. I used to be a small official in the yamen. But the Yuan Dynasty government was tyrannical, and when the world was in chaos, they brought me and my mother to settle in this mountain."

Zhao Min also asked at this time: "Oh? Since your father is a martial artist, how did he die? Was he hunted down by his enemies?"

Wang Qiao wiped the sweat off his face, and then replied: "That's not true. My father passed away when I was 12 years old. When I was seven years old, he saw a large Ganoderma lucidum when he was chopping firewood, and went to pick it." He fell off the cliff when he was in Ganoderma lucidum, and although he didn’t die, he was seriously injured. Since then, my father’s health has been poor, and he passed away within a few years.”

Seeing the expression on Wang Qiao's face, Zhang Wuji also said: "Brother Wang is very open about life and death. I also lost my parents since I was young. But it took me a long time to get out of that shadow. Even Just a few years ago, I was still clinging to hatred. I am not as open-minded as Brother Wang."

After listening, Wang Qiao said: "When my father was alive, he often taught me that some things in life must be experienced, such as birth, old age, sickness and death. As long as it is natural, why should you be sad? But some things should not happen, but they did happen. , that is something to be sad about.”

After listening to Wang Qiao's open-minded words, Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min looked at each other, showing admiration for Wang Qiao in their eyes.

Wang Qiao removed the last dead tree in front of him, and then said to Zhang Wuji: "Benefactor is the one who leads the army to fight. I have something to ask for."

When Zhang Wuji saw that Wang Qiao had something to ask for, he quickly said, "Brother Wang has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

Wang Qiao looked at Zhang Wuji and said sincerely: "Benefactor was willing to save my wife before, which shows that Engong is a benevolent person. Wang Qiao begged Engong to break through the Jianmen Gate, so that he can reduce the killing karma. If Engong can agree, That is the best reward for Wang Qiao."

Zhang Wuji replied: "Naturally. We searched for this path to detour in order to reduce killings. It would be the best thing if the two armies advanced and the defenders surrendered. Besides, my Ming's army has always A teacher of benevolence and righteousness whose purpose is to harm the people. Don't worry about this, Brother Wang."

Wang Qiao smiled and said, "That's good. If that's the case, it's not in vain for me to help my benefactor once."

After finishing speaking, Wang Qiao started to wield the machete again, cutting down the surrounding weeds to open the way for Zhang Wuji and the two of them.
